Chapter Summaries

Luo Shen tested his complete Nine Tribulations Body Realm clone against the Second Level God King Realm Abyss Clone, finding that his strongest saber techniques could damage it while its attacks barely wore down the clone. After the tests, the Nine Tribulations Body Realm clone went dormant and Luo Shen’s Super-Perfect Divine Body returned.

• Luo Shen summoned his complete Nine Tribulations Body Realm clone and put his Super-Perfect Divine Body into dormancy.
• The Nine Tribulations Body Realm clone struck the Abyss Clone with the Abyss Battle Saber, but the Abyss Clone recovered from the blow without lasting injury.
• Luo Shen used World Unification to split the Abyss Clone and then struck from within its body, costing each clone roughly one percent of its divine power.
• The Abyss Clone unleashed its white radiance, Destruction Light, Curse Killing, and more than thirty other techniques, but the Nine Tribulations Body Realm clone endured them with little divine power loss.
• The Nine Tribulations Body Realm clone entered dormancy again, and Luo Shen’s Super-Perfect Divine Body returned.

Luo Shen observed the Abyss Clone’s complete Great Dao of Destruction Origin while weighing how to strengthen it without exposing the Abyss Sect to danger. Meanwhile, Yu Kingdom Lord fled deeper into the Heavenly River Treasure Land after learning Lan Duo Monarch had entered, leaving his survival uncertain.

• Luo Shen discussed the Abyss Clone’s strength and learned it wanted vast quantities of Primal Chaos Bloodline materials to advance further.
• The Abyss Clone revealed that it could manifest the complete Great Dao of Destruction Origin, and Luo Shen began observing it while deciding to keep the ability secret for now.
• Yu Kingdom Lord waited in the depths of the Heavenly River Treasure Land as Tian Kun Kingdom Lord’s group continued blocking his escape routes.
• A friend warned Yu Kingdom Lord that Lan Duo Monarch of Thunder Ancient Kingdom had entered the Heavenly River, so Yu Kingdom Lord abandoned his vessel and fled deeper.
• Yu Kingdom Lord encountered an underwater mountain range while plunging into the increasingly dangerous depths of the Heavenly River Treasure Land.

Lan Duo Monarch swept through Heavenly River Treasure Land, killing Yu Kingdom Lord, Tian Kun Kingdom Lord, and most of the other God Kings there. After Yu Kingdom Lord asked Luo Shen to protect Yu Kingdom while he rebuilt his Primal Chaos Bloodline, Luo Shen continued cultivating in Infinite Space and formed a powerful new saber art.

• Yu Kingdom Lord hid his treasure flying boat in the underwater mountain range, but Lan Duo Monarch tracked him down and destroyed his true body.
• Lan Duo Monarch searched Heavenly River Treasure Land, killed Tian Kun Kingdom Lord, and destroyed the true bodies of more than ninety percent of the other God Kings he found.
• Yu Kingdom Lord told Luo Shen that Tian Kun Kingdom Lord and several companions had also died, then entrusted Yu Kingdom to Luo Shen while he recultivated his Primal Chaos Bloodline.
• Luo Shen decided to wait before attacking Shi Kingdom, saying he needed to reach the Second Level God King Realm to destroy Shi Kingdom Lord completely.
• In Infinite Space, Luo Shen formed a Dark Void Cauldron that nurtured the saber art Six Streams United, Unbreakable Light of the Dark Void, which he judged comparable to a top-tier Third Level God King secret art.

Luo Shen advanced Unbreakable Light of the Dark Void into a Third Level God King Realm secret technique and comprehended six branches of his Great Dao of Life and Destruction. After Infinite Space awarded him 10,000 reward points for opening the new Great Dao, he considered how to spend his growing balance on treasures and inheritances.

• Luo Shen fused five branches of life and destruction into Unbreakable Light of the Dark Void, giving him combat strength comparable to Emperor Lord Guixu at his fullest outbreak.
• Luo Shen comprehended six branches of the Great Dao of Life and Destruction and chose to develop ten branches rather than pursue every possible fusion.
• Luo Shen displayed the Walker branch in Infinite Space, which awarded him 10,000 reward points for opening a new Great Dao.
• Luo Shen considered ways to earn more reward points and valued Infinite Space for its rare inheritances, while his avatars continued hunting Mind Will creatures.
• Luo Shen reviewed treasures available for his more than 103,000 reward points, including the Bitter Sea Solitary Boat, which could protect him in chaotic space and carry him back to a Primal Source World.

Luo Shen exchanged 18,000 reward points for a Lotus of Life seed and planted it in his Inner World, where it grew and transformed his body. Its awakening coincided with the Sky-Covering Giant Hand phantom stirring his consciousness, but the mark between his brows drove the illusion away, leaving the phantom temporarily still.

• Luo Shen reviewed the treasury’s treasures, rejected the costly flying vessels and other options, and chose a Lotus of Life seed for 18,000 reward points.
• Luo Shen examined the seed, recorded its secret patterns, and planted it in the chaos space of his dantian.
• The Lotus of Life grew for 1,009 days, spreading thirty-six leaves through Luo Shen’s Inner World and stabilizing it.
• The Sky-Covering Giant Hand phantom stirred after the lotus’s growth, and Slaughter Will swept through Luo Shen as the lotus’s vitality transformed his body and linked him to the Great Dao of Life Origin.
• The phantom stirred Luo Shen’s sea of consciousness and overwhelmed him with the memory of his dream, but the mark between his brows shone, shattered the illusion, and made the hand stop temporarily.

Luo Shen discovered that the Sky-Covering Giant Hand phantom in his consciousness was growing more real and spreading uncontrollable fear through him and all his clones. Yuan urged him to master his instincts and face the fear, leaving Luo Shen newly resolved to control his heart.

• Luo Shen found that separate Life Origin and Destruction Origin secret patterns covered his body, while the Sky-Covering Giant Hand phantom had become more solid.
• Luo Shen realized the phantom could not be erased, affected the Mind Will of all his clones, and might eventually invade his will as it grew more real.
• Luo Shen sat drinking on the Abyss Sect hall roof and worried that suppressing the fear with the Great Destruction Heart Refining Method was hindering his cultivation.
• Yuan joined Luo Shen for wine and asked about his troubles, so Luo Shen described the fear and its effect on his cultivation without revealing the phantom.
• Yuan told Luo Shen to control his true heart and face the fear directly, prompting Luo Shen to realize he could master his instincts and stop being afraid.

Luo Shen overcame his fear of the Sky-Covering Great Hand and spent eighty epochs creating a powerful secret art based on the Great Dao of Life and Destruction. He tested its material form in a desolate void, where it tore open the Primal Source World's membrane wall.

• Yuan encouraged Luo Shen to face his fear before leaving to handle affairs in Abyss Sect territory.
• Luo Shen repeatedly confronted the phantom of the Sky-Covering Great Hand, gradually reducing its hold over him over two and a half epochs.
• Luo Shen completed his comprehension of all ten branches of the Great Dao of Life and Destruction and began creating a secret art with illusory and material forms.
• After eighty epochs, Luo Shen completed the secret art and judged that it could let him contend with experts like Empress Fengdu and Dadi God King.
• Luo Shen traveled to a desolate northern void and used the material form of his secret art, shattering the Primal Source World's membrane wall and allowing black currents to surge through.

Luo Shen rested from cultivation by traveling through the Shi Kingdom, where he punished several people for wrongdoing and discovered the music of the Feng Yue Tower Master. Impressed by her talent and powerful Mind Will, he considered taking her as a disciple, then entered a restricted corridor to meet her; she stopped when she found him there.

• Luo Shen created the material Great Annihilation Style—Crimson Sun Sky Tear and the illusory Great Annihilation Style—Void Sky Palm Seal, then decided to tour the Origin Continent.
• Luo Shen traveled through the Shi Kingdom, punished a dishonest restaurant owner and other troublemakers, and eventually reached the city renowned for Feng Yue Tower.
• Luo Shen listened to the Feng Yue Tower Master's twelve Chaos Ruler-level musical pieces and considered taking her as a disciple.
• Luo Shen examined the Feng Yue Tower Master more closely and reacted with surprise before she finished her performance and left the stage.
• The Feng Yue Tower Master stopped in a restricted corridor when she saw Luo Shen seated in her path and wondered how he had bypassed the formation.

Luo Shen freed Feng Tingyu from the force controlling her and accepted her as his twenty-eighth nominal disciple. He defeated and drove off the Second Level God King who came to reclaim her, then prepared to take Feng Tingyu and her clan to the Abyss Sect.

• Luo Shen revealed that Feng Yue Tower Master Ting Fengyu was a Tian Xueyu Clan saintess controlled by a mysterious force, and offered to free her.
• Luo Shen used his World Domain to remove the mark and secret patterns controlling Feng Tingyu, then accepted her as his disciple.
• A lightning-wreathed Second Level God King appeared and tried to take Feng Tingyu back, dismissing Luo Shen as a First Level God King.
• Luo Shen cut apart the Second Level God King's divine body with the Unbreakable Light of the Dark Void until the enemy fled as lightning.
• Luo Shen told Feng Tingyu to prepare to go to the Abyss Sect, and she asked to bring her clan with her.

Luo Shen’s newly displayed strength drew attention from the Origin Continent’s powers as he continued traveling and witnessed the Shi Kingdom’s brutal treatment of wilderness tribes. After intervening where he could, he reached the increasingly frigid Northern Icefield, leaving his journey ongoing.

• Luo Shen sent Feng Tingyu and her clan to the Abyss Sect, then continued his travels while Yu Kingdom Lord congratulated him on what he believed was a breakthrough to the Second Level God King Realm.
• Tian Kun Kingdom Lord studied recordings of Luo Shen defeating a Second Level God King and recognized that Luo Shen’s secret technique realm had surpassed his own.
• Emperor Yan considered Luo Shen a powerful, useful guest God King but wondered why Yan Feng Progenitor had accepted him as a personal disciple.
• While traveling through the Origin Continent, Luo Shen discovered that the Shi Kingdom captured and devoured wilderness tribes as food for Tian Kun Kingdom Lord, and he rescued those he encountered when possible.
• Luo Shen traveled through much of the Origin Continent and entered the Northern Icefield, where the deepening cold forced living beings to shelter in cities.

Luo Shen rescued Yuan Esai from the Night God King’s legions and invited him to become a disciple. When Yuan Esai refused out of concern for bringing trouble to his benefactor, Luo Shen killed the Night God King and left Yuan Esai’s fate unresolved.

• Luo Shen followed Yuan Esai’s music and stopped two legions from killing him.
• Luo Shen learned that Yuan Esai had risked his life to save hundreds of millions of ordinary beings from the Night God King’s Son.
• Yuan Esai explained that he saw no fundamental difference between an Eternal True God and ordinary cultivators, and Luo Shen invited him to become his thirty-sixth disciple.
• Yuan Esai declined the invitation because he feared the Night God King would bring danger to Luo Shen.
• Luo Shen promised to eliminate the Night God King, and one of his incarnations silently killed the God King in his palace.
• The Night God King’s controlled Original Universe returned to normal, while his Holy Land Universe collapsed and his followers died with him.

After defeating Night God King, Luo Shen traveled through the Northern Icefield and Eastern Wasteland to the edge of the Origin Continent. There, his resolve to defy heaven and earth brought his Mind Will beyond the God King level, forming a body of the mind.

• Luo Shen collected Night God King's treasures and used the Great Dao of Destruction Origin's Curse Killing technique to kill Night God King's evil children, sparing one who had never committed evil.
• Luo Shen sent his thirty-sixth registered disciple, Yuan Esai, back to the Abyss Sect and continued through the Northern Icefield, gaining insights into the Twenty-Four Aspect Form.
• Luo Shen reached the Fire Ancestor Realm, where the Fire Ancestor's power had made the land warm and protected its inhabitants from oppression.
• Luo Shen briefly toured the Eastern Wasteland and then traveled to the edge of the Origin Continent, where he contemplated the Universe Sea and resolved to surpass heaven and earth.
• Luo Shen's Mind Will transformed beyond the God King level, forming a humanoid body of the mind more powerful than his current Nine Tribulations Body Realm body.

After breaking through the God King limit in Mind Will, Luo Shen earned 250,000 reward points in Infinite Space and used them to acquire inheritances and other resources. He began seclusion to strengthen his body, but received a specially appointed mission to tend 192 Hunyuan bloodline beast eggs for 3,000 epochs.

• Luo Shen entered Infinite Space, where his new Great Dao earned him 50,000 reward points and his exceptional Mind Will earned him 200,000; he was warned not to kill mind creatures.
• Luo Shen browsed the treasury and bought the Nine Tribulations Body Realm inheritance, along with other resources suited to his cultivation.
• Luo Shen assessed the Hunyuan Lifeform Research Ship and other treasures, then resolved to focus on advancing his body and the Mind's Eye Saber.
• Luo Shen exchanged more reward points, entered seclusion in the Abyss Sect, and set out to master the Twenty-Four Aspect Form or perfect the Method of Melting and Refining.
• Luo Shen received a specially appointed mission requiring him to use 192 avatars to care for 192 Hunyuan bloodline beast eggs in the Royal Clan Forbidden Land for 3,000 epochs.

Luo Shen refused Di Wu’s order to nurture a Primal Chaos Bloodline Beast Egg, and she threatened to destroy the Abyss Sect unless he obeyed. As her flames began to burn him, Luo Shen prepared to fight her rather than submit.

• Luo Shen questioned the mission and asked Emperor Chu who had ordered it.
• Emperor Chu said he knew nothing about the assignment, urged Luo Shen to refuse, and promised to protect him.
• Di Wu appeared and ordered Luo Shen to accept the mission; Luo Shen refused, citing his status as the Progenitor’s personal disciple.
• Di Wu attacked Luo Shen with white flames and threatened to kill everyone in the Abyss Sect if he did not comply.
• Luo Shen drew the Abyss Battle Saber and began gathering the Nine Tribulations Body Realm’s full energy reserves to fight Di Wu.

Di Chu protected Luo Shen from Di Wu and defended him before the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom’s Emperors. The Emperors debated stripping Luo Shen of his guest elder status, and Di Fu halted Di Chu and Di Xi’s escalating confrontation.

• Di Chu threatened Di Wu with the lives of her surviving children, forcing her to withdraw from the Abyss Sect and leave Luo Shen unharmed.
• Di Chu advised Luo Shen that Di Xi and the other Emperors might target him again, and promised to help if they did.
• Di Fu convened the Emperors to discuss Di Xi’s proposal to strip Luo Shen of his guest elder status while the Progenitor was away.
• Di Chu denounced Di Wu’s attack and argued that Luo Shen had not abused his status, revealing that Luo Shen had exchanged valuable treasures for the rewards he received.
• Di Xi accused Luo Shen of refusing missions and taking rewards, but Di Chu defended his exchange arrangements and challenged Di Xi.
• Di Fu stopped Di Chu and Di Xi from turning the gathering into a brawl.

Emperor Chu and several Emperor Lords defended Abyss after Di Xi and Di Wutong tried to strip him of his retainer status for refusing missions. Di Fu’s opposing vote helped defeat the proposal, and Di Xi left in anger.

• Emperor Chu argued that Abyss had spent only a short time as a God King and had the right to refuse missions while cultivating.
• Emperor Annihilation and Emperor Xuan defended Abyss and challenged Di Xi and Di Wutong’s authority to control or punish him.
• Di Fu called for a vote on stripping Abyss of his retainer status, and six Emperor Lords supported the proposal while Emperor Xuan, Emperor Chu, Emperor Annihilation, Di Kong, Di You, and Di Fu opposed it.
• Di Fu explained that Abyss had done nothing wrong and that targeting the Ancestor’s personal disciple would damage the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom’s reputation.
• Di Xi left the gathering in anger, and Emperor Chu thanked Di Fu for casting an opposing vote.

Luo Shen received a mission to guard an entrance to the Heaven Pillar Realm after Emperor Fu rejected Di Xi and the other Emperors’ attempt to strip him of his Guest Official status. Armed with Emperor Chu’s map intelligence, Luo Shen arrived at the entrance and began learning about the realm and his duties.

• Emperor Fu rejected Di Xi’s proposal and assigned Luo Shen the Heaven Pillar Realm guarding mission, hoping to build goodwill with him.
• Emperor Fu reasoned that Luo Shen’s potential and fortune could make him a valuable future companion beyond the Origin Continent.
• Emperor Chu told Luo Shen that Emperor Fu had given him the mission and sent him map intelligence for the Heaven Pillar Realm.
• Luo Shen accepted the mission and sent an avatar to the nearest entrance, where God King Bai Feng greeted him.
• God King Bai Feng escorted Luo Shen through the entrance formation and explained that the Heaven Pillars supported the realm and that guardians could explore only its outer regions.

Luo Shen took over the duty of guarding the Heaven Pillar Realm and learned that he could explore its outer region while barring intruders. After testing the array, he visited a Heaven Pillar and began studying its secret patterns.

• Emperor Xuan ordered Luo Shen to guard the entrance and forbade him from entering the Heaven Pillar Realm’s inner region.
• Luo Shen and God King Bai Feng completed the handover, with Luo Shen assigning clones to the thirty-six entrances.
• Luo Shen tested his control of the auxiliary arrays and realized the full formation could suppress even powerful God Kings.
• Luo Shen decided to explore the Heaven Pillars and met Demon King Yano at one of them.
• Luo Shen was drawn into a void vision by the pillar’s secret patterns and studied them for several days.

Luo Shen completed the Twenty-Four Aspect Form after years of cultivation in the Heaven Pillar Realm, then transformed his Nine Tribulations Body Realm into the stronger form. He left the chapter ready to continue cultivating toward an Emperor-level breakthrough and his eventual reckoning with the Shi Kingdom.

• Luo Shen studied the thirty-six Heaven Pillars, recognized that their secret patterns hinted at paths beyond complete Great Daos, and returned to cultivation.
• God King Tianmu visited Luo Shen with another imperial God King, greeted him warmly, and departed when his companion hurried him away.
• In the twenty-first epoch after arriving at the Heaven Pillar Realm, Luo Shen comprehended the final aspect of the Twenty-Four Aspect Form.
• Luo Shen transformed his Nine Tribulations Body Realm and its clones from the Ten Directions World Form into the Twenty-Four Aspect Form, making the body easier to control and greatly increasing its power.
• Luo Shen tested his transformed body’s aura and resolved to continue strengthening it before confronting the Shi Kingdom and pursuing his breakthrough.

Luo Shen prepared for a decisive strike against Shi Kingdom’s lords and summoned Mountain Lord to discuss killing them before they could reincarnate. Mountain Lord arrived at the Abyss Sect and learned that Luo Feng would join the operation, but he pressed Luo Shen for details about how they would succeed and evade retaliation.

• Luo Shen assessed his enhanced Nine Tribulations Body Realm strength, decided to save his reward points, and began studying combat techniques ahead of an expected battle.
• Mountain Lord worried that even with Luo Feng and Luo Shen’s help, they might not be able to kill Tian Kun Kingdom Lord and Shi Kingdom’s other lords permanently.
• Luo Shen contacted Mountain Lord and asked whether they should attack Shi Kingdom’s lords directly or wait for him to join them.
• Mountain Lord hurried to the Abyss Sect, where he sensed Luo Shen’s formidable Mind Will and found Luo Feng there as well.
• Luo Shen assured Mountain Lord that he was confident they could kill Shi Kingdom’s lords, and Mountain Lord asked what plan or power would let them succeed and avoid being traced afterward.
