Chapter Summaries

Andres strengthened Iron Saber Gorge with Godheads while remaining wary of threats to its Teleportation Array. When Montra summoned the Four Divine Beasts to the Sea of Stars Mist to fight Xing Yi over a mysterious teleportation array, Andres agreed to accompany Riding and the others.

• Andres gave Cilia a Space Ring filled with Godheads and helped her select people to empower, expanding Iron Saber Gorge's forces.
• Andres stayed in Iron Saber Gorge rather than returning to the Skyrite Mountains because he feared enemies might use other Teleportation Arrays to attack.
• During a spar with Lius, Andres learned that Lius would not reveal his Innate Divine Ability, and a guard summoned them to Riding's main hall.
• Riding told Andres and the Four Divine Beasts that Montra had ordered them to the Sea of Stars Mist to fight Xing Yi over a mysterious array that could teleport people to other planes.
• Riding proposed that Andres accompany him, Bowen, and Lius while Nimo guarded the Skyrite Mountains, and Andres agreed after assessing the risks and learning that Montra was extremely powerful.

Montra arrived at the Skyrite Mountains and demanded that the Four Divine Beasts sign Master-Servant Contracts, then attacked when they refused. Riding, Nimo, Lius, and Bowen fought back, but Montra endured their combined assault and launched four enormous punches at them.

• Riding told Amida that only he, Lius, and Bowen would go to the Sea of Stars Mist, and Amida warned that Montra was coming in person.
• Montra arrived with Highgods and demanded that all four siblings and their families move to the Sea of Stars Mist and become his servants.
• Riding and his siblings refused the contracts, so Montra struck Riding and shattered one of his dragon claws.
• Riding, Nimo, Bowen, and Lius revealed their true forms or weapons and attacked Montra together, while Andres watched from the sidelines.
• The Four Divine Beasts used their innate abilities and attacks to restrain and strike Montra, but he emerged with only superficial damage.
• Montra declared that the siblings could not break his defenses and sent four mountain-sized fist projections toward them.

Montra attacked the Four Divine Beasts, badly injuring Riding and Bowen and killing Nimo, who revived herself with Nirvana. The siblings fled when Montra pressed his advantage, and Andres moved to help before noticing that the system's information about the Four Divine Beasts had changed.

• Riding and Bowen shielded Nimo and Lius from Montra's fist projections, but Riding was split apart and Bowen suffered severe wounds.

• Montra pursued the fleeing siblings and used Magic Soul on Bowen, but Nimo intercepted the attack and revived herself again.
• Bowen used Spatial Confinement to trap Montra while the Four Divine Beasts escaped, and Andres noticed that the system's information about them had changed.

Andres killed Montra with Dimension Slash and chose the White Tiger’s binding quest, gaining Tiger Roar. After learning that Tiger Roar bypassed external defenses, he worried that his own body would be vulnerable to it.

• Lius used Tiger Roar to blow Montra away, but Montra remained unharmed as the Four Divine Beasts fled.
• Andres attacked Montra with Dimension Slash while Spatial Confinement still held him, piercing his skull and shattering his soul.
• Andres accepted the White Tiger’s binding quest and chose Tiger Roar as his reward for killing Montra.
• Andres learned that Tiger Roar’s spatial penetration bypassed defensive artifacts and worked directly on a target’s body and soul.
• Andres realized that Lius’s Tiger Roar could threaten him and resolved to seek a way to strengthen his body.

After killing Montra, Andres rejected Riding’s proposal to seize Montra’s territory and returned toward Iron Saber Gorge, wary of Xing Yi and the danger to his home. Nearly ten years later, the Master of Lake Punis learned of Iron Saber Gorge’s Magic Array and set out with a hundred Highgods to investigate it.

• Andres explained that his attacks had grown as strong as Montra’s, while the Four Divine Beasts considered whether to cooperate with or kill him.
• Riding proposed that Andres help take over Montra’s territory, but Andres learned that the Master of Lake Punis had once defeated Montra and decided the Blood Peak Continent was too dangerous to pursue.
• Andres refused to stay with the Four Divine Beasts and flew east toward Iron Saber Gorge, while Riding decided to leave open the possibility of cooperating with him later.

• The Master of Lake Punis ordered a hundred Highgods to accompany him and departed Lake Punis in a black, octopus-shaped Metal Life.

Andres learned that Claude had developed Death God Puppets using Dup and Babatonde’s Illusionary Form Magic Array, and he asked Claude to make as many as possible while considering whether Claude could create Dragon Transformation Crystals. After three outside forces demanded Iron Saber Gorge’s Teleportation Array, they attacked its Boulder Guard Magic Array, which withstood the Blue-Haired Youth’s lightning strike.

• Andres welcomed Claude back to Iron Saber Gorge after Montra’s death and learned that the Teleportation Array on the Bifu Continent remained fairly stable.
• Claude showed Andres a Death God Puppet built with the Illusionary Form Magic Array, and Andres ordered him to produce enough puppets to arm Iron Saber Gorge.
• Andres asked Claude whether he could awaken the bloodline of a divine beast’s descendants, and Claude said he would need essence blood from the relevant beast.
• A Middle God warned Andres that powerful outsiders were heading toward Iron Saber Gorge, so Andres alerted his allies and ordered Claude to speed up puppet production.
• Ten years later, forces from Wushan City, Bishui City, and Feiyun City arrived above Iron Saber Gorge, and Andres activated Boulder Guard rather than rushing to fight them.
• The Blue-Haired Youth demanded the Teleportation Array and struck Boulder Guard with lightning, but the barrier shattered his attack.

Andres destroyed an attack by thirteen Five-star Demons and prepared Iron Saber Gorge for future threats while his true body was still returning. Meanwhile, Riding and Lius decided to travel to Iron Saber Gorge and watch for a chance to benefit from the struggle over its Teleportation Array.

• The attacks of thirteen Five-star Demons shattered the Boulder Guard, but Andres killed all thirteen with one sword strike and returned to Iron Saber Gorge.

The Master of Lake Punis, Orenth, arrived at Iron Saber Gorge with a hundred Highgods and surrounded it with the gathered experts. Andres learned that Orenth belonged to the Brahma race and chose to stay behind to protect the evacuation, confident he could survive their confrontation.

• Experts from across the Blood Peak Continent gathered outside Iron Saber Gorge as Orenth arrived with his subordinates.
• Andres inspected Orenth and discovered his Dark Law and Water Law strength, along with the Brahma race ability Splitting.

• Lulutia warned Andres that the evacuation was incomplete, and he ordered her and Claude to leave while he covered the retreat.
• Claude flew toward the Teleportation Array, but Lulutia remained beside Andres.

Andres and Orenth fought over control of the Teleportation Array at Iron Saber Gorge, while Lulutia organized the remaining defenders. Neither combatant gained the upper hand, and Orenth ordered his Highgod subordinates to seize the array.

• Three days later, Andres traveled from Iron Saber Gorge through the Dylan Plane and arrived at Mirror Moon Cliff, where Sovereign Zijing and Agni were waiting.

• Andres learned that Xing Yi’s binding quest was to rule Hell and saw that several other experts and their subordinates had gathered in the hall.

After Andres killed Jerome, Xing Yi brought the powerhouses together to share their regional maps and propose an Alliance. The group formed a rough map of Hell, agreed to establish the Alliance, and approved charging outsiders to use Teleportation Arrays while letting members travel for free with Tokens.

• Andres killed Jerome, and Xing Yi had Fris arrange for the corpse to be removed before asking whether anyone still doubted Andres's strength.

• Andres cultivated with three of his bodies, used his Earth and Water God Clones to handle affairs, and began establishing an intelligence organization as ten thousand years passed.
