Chapter Summaries

Andres discovered that the black-robed challenger was Uthered, whose talents and main godhead-level body could earn Andres the body he wanted, though Uthered had no binding quest. As Uthered and Xing Yi began their battle over control of Hell, Uthered calmly took Xing Yi's powerful attack head-on.

• Andres identified the black-robed man as Uthered and resolved to track him until his binding quest appeared.
• Uthered declared that he would defeat Xing Yi and rule Hell, while Xing Yi stopped Laina from interfering and claimed Uthered as his prey.
• Andres warned Zijing, Elaina, and Laina that Xing Yi might lose, and they agreed they would join forces against Uthered if his victory was not overwhelming.
• Xing Yi unleashed a destruction-divine-power attack that Andres judged near the peak of Seven-star Demon strength.
• Uthered calmly extended his hand as Xing Yi's meteor-like attacks struck his body.

Xing Yi’s attacks and soul ability failed to defeat Uthered, so Andres and the others joined the fight. Zijing shielded Xing Yi while Andres launched a Dimension Slash at Uthered.

• Uthered blocked Xing Yi’s meteor attacks with his body, though Xing Yi’s concentrated strike wounded his hand before it regenerated.
• Xing Yi used his Annihilation soul attack, but Uthered resisted it and demanded that Xing Yi submit or die.
• Xing Yi continued fighting, and Uthered blocked his attacks with a Black Spear before Zijing protected him with Purple Crystal Barrier.
• Andres, Elaina, and Laina attacked Uthered together; Uthered caught Elaina’s sword light and sent Laina flying with a spear strike.
• Andres stabbed Uthered from behind with Dimension Slash, testing the limits of his defenses.

Andres and his allies joined forces against Uthered, whose defenses made him difficult to harm. When Uthered unleashed Soul Prison against Andres, Andres countered with Spatial Confinement and called for a coordinated attack, leaving all five allies’ blows rushing toward Uthered’s head.

• Andres tested Dimension Slash against Uthered, piercing only the skin before Uthered drove him back with a spear thrust.
• Xing Yi and Zijing struck Uthered as Andres withdrew, but Uthered’s powerful defenses limited the damage.

• Andres activated Spatial Confinement to freeze Soul Prison, then urged his allies to attack together.
• Andres, Xing Yi, Zijing, Elaina, and Laina launched their strongest attacks at Uthered’s head.

After their combined attacks failed to kill Uthered, Andres and the others retreated and agreed to regroup in Xing Yi’s Sea of Stars Mist. As Uthered moved to take control of the Sea of Chaos, Andres decided to become a Highgod as quickly as possible rather than continue slowly fusing profound mysteries.

• Andres, Xing Yi, Laina, Elaina, and Zijing damaged Uthered but failed to break through his skull or harm his Godhead and soul.
• Andres persuaded the others to retreat, and Xing Yi reluctantly agreed rather than fight Uthered alone.
• Uthered let the group escape and headed for the Teleportation Array to take control of the Sea of Chaos.
• Xing Yi proposed that they regroup in his Sea of Stars Mist, and the others agreed to face Uthered together.
• Andres decided to prioritize becoming a Highgod, aiming to complete his Wind and Fire Elemental Law comprehension within a hundred years.

Andres evacuated Iron Saber Gorge to avoid Uthered and spent eighty years cultivating in Somuo City. His Fire God Clone became a Highgod, while his Wind Element God Clone remained close to a breakthrough, leaving Andres hopeful he could soon return to Iron Saber Gorge.

• Andres told Lulutia, Leighton, Cilia, and the others about Uthered and ordered everyone to evacuate Iron Saber Gorge.
• Pash received Andres's order to evacuate the Teleportation Array in Green Spirit Great Marsh, and the castle's God-level experts departed.

• Andres told Lulutia and the others that his Wind Element God Clone still needed a final breakthrough before they could return to Iron Saber Gorge.
• Cilia reported that bandit factions had occupied the Teleportation Arrays at Iron Saber Gorge and Green Spirit Great Marsh, and Andres said they would reclaim them after his wind-element clone advanced.
• Andres asked Claude how his research within the Four Divine Beasts Family was progressing.

Andres told Claude to continue researching how to awaken Gaisreisen’s Azure Dragon bloodline and allowed the Four Divine Beasts Family to expand as long as it did not hinder Iron Saber Castle. In the Green Spirit Great Marsh, two Highgods arrived from the Material Plane, and Fatty used Soul Bewilderment on a bandit before the bandit chief appeared.

• Andres asked Claude to devote more effort to researching the Azure Dragon bloodline and promised to provide anything he needed.
• Andres dismissed Cilia’s concerns about the Four Divine Beasts Family’s growing influence and said Iron Saber Castle’s strength depended on his combat power.
• As the Teleportation Array in the Green Spirit Great Marsh became a route to the Material Plane, a bandit faction seized control of it.
• Fatty and Skinny arrived from the Material Plane, and the bandits realized they were Highgods.
• Fatty used Soul Bewilderment to examine a Middle God bandit’s memories while he and Skinny argued about what he had learned.
• The bandit chief, a Five-star Demon, arrived with more than a dozen Highgods.

Aolte and his companion effortlessly killed a bandit faction at Bifu Continent’s Plane Teleportation Array, prompting Andres to investigate the arrival of experts from the Abyss Plane. Andres headed for the Green Spirit Great Marsh while his allies prepared to check another teleportation array.

• Aolte used black light to kill the bandits at Bifu Continent’s Plane Teleportation Array and declared that he came from the Abyss Plane.
• Leighton showed Andres a recording of the battle and reported that Abyss Plane experts were gathering around the Bifu Continent array.
• Andres realized that more Abyss Plane experts might be arriving through Hell’s other Plane Teleportation Arrays and ordered Cilia and the others to investigate Iron Saber Gorge.
• Andres told Xing Yi and the others about the Abyss Plane, but they dismissed the threat as minor.
• Andres left the Metal Life to investigate the Green Spirit Great Marsh while Xing Yi urged him to join them at the Sea of Stars Mist afterward.

Andres joined Bowen and Nimo at the Green Spirit Great Marsh, where the Four Divine Beasts Family confronted Abyss Plane leaders Aolte and Tierri over the occupied Teleportation Array. After discovering that both newcomers had quests to become king of the Abyss Plane, Andres watched Bowen and Nimo begin fighting them.

• Andres arrived at Iron Saber Castle and learned that Bowen and Nimo had come to fight Abyss Plane forces attacking the Four Divine Beasts Family.
• Andres agreed that Bowen and Nimo could claim the Green Spirit Great Marsh Teleportation Array if they defeated its occupiers, then followed them with Pash.
• At the occupied castle, Andres recognized Tierri and Aolte as divine beasts and discovered that helping either become king of the Abyss Plane would fulfill a Binding Quest.
• Tierri demanded that the Four Divine Beasts Family leave the Bifu Continent, but Bowen and Nimo refused and challenged him and Aolte.
• Bowen and Aolte exchanged attacks while Nimo and Tierri fought, and their battle tore open spatial fissures.

Andres watched Bowen and Nimo defeat Tierri and Aolte, then discovered that their opponents’ Innate Divine Abilities could combine into a powerful attack. After Tierri and Aolte died and their forces fled, Andres captured a Three-eyed Highgod to question him about the Abyss Plane.

• Andres told Pash he would not seize another Teleportation Array because it would bring more trouble, and he intended to remain hidden until his Wind Element God Clone advanced.
• Bowen and Nimo fought Tierri and Aolte, who revealed their Innate Divine Abilities and fused their attacks together.

• Andres realized Tierri and Aolte had used a Combined Innate Divine Ability powerful enough to reach the Seven-star Demon level.
• As the Abyss Plane’s forces fled, Andres captured a Three-eyed Highgod and demanded detailed information about the Abyss Plane.

Andres captured a Three-eyed Highgod and learned that Yibai’er had united the Abyss Plane and ordered an invasion of Hell through its Teleportation Arrays. After releasing the captive, Andres faced Nimo’s concern that the array he had given them would draw the Four Divine Beasts Family into the conflict.

• Andres interrogated the Three-eyed Highgod after swearing in the name of the Supreme God of Fate to spare him if he spoke truthfully.
• The Three-eyed Highgod explained that Yibai’er had unified the Abyss Plane and ranked its forces as one king, three generals, and fifteen city lords, including Tierri and Aolte.
• The Three-eyed Highgod revealed that the Abyss Plane had attacked all seven of Hell’s Teleportation Arrays, capturing Iron Saber Gorge and the Muya Continent while failing elsewhere and losing a general in the Sea of Chaos.
• Andres reasoned that Uthered and the forces under Xing Yi, Zijing, and Elaina had helped defend several arrays against the invasion.
• Andres released the Three-eyed Highgod, and Nimo asked whether he had given them the Teleportation Array knowing the Abyss Plane threatened it.

Andres avoided a clash between the Four Divine Beasts Family and the Abyss Plane while he waited to make a breakthrough. After Uthered’s binding quest changed to helping him defeat Yibai’er, Andres learned that Yibai’er had defeated Uthered at the Sea of Chaos Teleportation Array and began considering how to help Uthered win.

• Andres warned Nimo against clashing with the Abyss Plane, and she and Bowen left the Teleportation Array without occupying it.
• In Somuo City, Andres told Leighton to monitor the Abyss Plane and ignore reports of other Teleportation Arrays changing hands until Andres made his breakthrough.
• Andres noticed that Uthered’s binding quest had changed to helping Uthered defeat Yibai’er, so he ordered Leighton to investigate Uthered and the Sea of Chaos Teleportation Array.
• A month later, Leighton showed Andres a projection of Uthered fighting a bald, black-marked man at the Sea of Chaos Teleportation Array.
• The man easily overcame Uthered’s strongest attack and nearly killed him, leading Andres to identify him as Yibai’er and realize that he would need to help Uthered defeat him.

Yibai'er brought his forces to the Bifu Continent and attacked the Four Divine Beasts Family’s strongholds, while Andres broke through to become a Highgod and sought Bowen and Nimo in Mist City.

• Andres told Bowen and Nimo that Yibai'er planned to attack the Skyrite Mountains, and Bowen received orders from Lord Riding to prioritize survival and retreat if Andres fought Yibai'er.
• Pash reported that Uthered had refused Andres's offer to join forces against Yibai'er, preferring to defeat him through his own strength.
• Andres waited in Mist City while Bowen and Nimo returned to the Skyrite Mountains, then left to intercept Yibai'er when he came within a million li.
• Andres destroyed Yibai'er's Metal Life with a Wind Blade, and Yibai'er decided to deal with him before attacking the Four Divine Beasts.

• Andres examined Yibai'er's abilities and felt confident he could defeat him with his Innate Divine Abilities.
• Yibai'er declared he was heading to the Skyrite Mountains to avenge his men and threatened Andres, who challenged him to a fight.
• Andres and Yibai'er exchanged attacks, repeatedly tearing open space, while Yibai'er's subordinates watched from a distance.

• Yibai'er restored his god body, vowed to make Andres regret sparing him, and departed north with his subordinates.

After defeating Yibai'er, Andres returned to Iron Saber Gorge and decided to investigate why the Abyss Plane was unusually suited to comprehending the Destruction Rule. He and Pash arrived there and flew toward Yibai'er's Royal Palace, where Andres hoped to uncover the plane's secret.

• Andres rejected Pash's suggestion to reclaim another Teleportation Array and focused on expanding Iron Saber Castle while his Fire God Clone retook Iron Saber Gorge.

• Andres told his subordinates he planned to visit the Abyss Plane, chose Pash to accompany him, and traveled with him through the Teleportation Array.
• Andres ignored the Abyss Plane soldiers' demands for their identities and flew north with Pash toward Yibai'er's Royal Palace, spotting Abyss Blade Demons along the way.

Andres discovered that the Abyss Plane’s unusual concentration of the Destruction Rule came from the Heart of Destruction beneath Yibai'er’s Royal Palace. He forced Yibai'er to relinquish ownership of it and left the way open for Uthered to claim it.

• Pash sensed the Destruction Rule growing stronger toward the center of the Abyss Plane, and Andres flew with him to Yibai'er's Royal Palace.

• Andres claimed ownership of the immovable Heart of Destruction after Yibai'er relinquished it, and the other God-level experts fled.
• Twenty years later, Uthered arrived in the Abyss Plane, and Yibai'er realized Andres had summoned him before fleeing to the Netherworld to seek allies.

Andres learned that the Coffit Plane had an unusually high concentration of wind elements and discovered that Diya, the Wind Master he had been searching for, controlled a Heaven Realm Teleportation Array. After reviewing intelligence on Heaven Realm powers, Andres recognized the danger posed by Diya’s soul-striking ability and found Augusta’s name, though Ofu was absent from the records.

• Leighton told Andres that Iron Saber Castle had found the Coffit Plane by tracing Diya, a powerful newcomer who had seized a Heaven Realm Teleportation Array.
