Chapter Summaries

Tang San escaped the black mist after fighting off the Evil Gods and retrieved important intelligence. Xiao Tianyang returned to receive him, revealing that Augustine and the others had been badly defeated, while the undead held the city gate with a coordinated assault.

• The three Undead Monarchs broke through the city gates with six legions, then held the passage rather than risk entering the city and facing the Evil Gods.
• Tang San tore open the black mist with the Golden Thirteen Halberds and fought off the Evil Gods pursuing him, destroying one’s head and tearing away part of its soul.

• Heavenly lightning drove back the black mist as Xiao Tianyang appeared before Huo Yuhao, showing that Augustine and the other Evil Gods had been defeated.
• Tang San landed before Xiao Tianyang and began to report that he had obtained the intelligence, but his expression suddenly darkened.

Xiao Tianyang and Augustine, both gravely wounded, agreed that neither side would deploy its top combatants for the rest of the war and that their armies would decide the outcome. At the valley, Bai Qi proposed seizing the Hidden God Plane first, leaving the army’s next move to be determined.

• Xiao Tianyang sent Tang San south to place the Boundary Breaking Bead at an altar so the Heavenly Martial Dynasty’s army could reach the Hidden God Plane.
• Guiguzi and the others joined Xiao Tianyang, and Laozi gave him restorative pills as Augustine emerged from the black mist severely wounded.
• Augustine proposed that both sides keep their top combatants out of the remaining war and rely on their armies, while Xiao Tianyang added that Augustine must leave the city and that Xiao Tianyang’s side would choose the time.
• The Heavenly Dao and the Abyss established a contract, after which Xiao Tianyang withdrew with his allies and Augustine collapsed.
• Xiao Tianyang and his companions reached the valley, where Bai Qi and Yue Fei had assembled the eighteen Group Armies and prepared to revise their battle plan.
• Bai Qi proposed seizing the Hidden God Plane first so the soldiers’ sacrifices would not be wasted and others would not profit without fighting.

• Bai Qi ordered Shi Jingsi to bury the escaped God Clan members alive.

The Heavenly Martial Dynasty's commanders assessed the Abyss Faction's military strength and the balance of forces, while Xiao Tianyang and his advisers investigated why the Abyss had allied with the Evil God Faction and targeted planes tied to divinity. The chapter left Xiao Tianyang considering a broader intelligence effort as [Chaos Ring] began an analysis that would take eighteen days.

• The First Group Army and the other Legion Commanders discussed the Abyss Faction's forces and concluded that delay would favor the Heavenly Martial Dynasty more than the Abyss.
• Xiao Tianyang considered the connection between the Abyss's actions and divinity, then ordered [Chaos Ring] to build an energy model.
• [Chaos Ring] failed more than fifty times before constructing the model, but its analysis was estimated to take eighteen days.
• Jia Xu proposed three possible explanations for the Abyss Faction's lack of response after Bai Qi slaughtered the God Clan, and said the possibilities could all be true.
• Zhang Liang recommended using the Hidden God Plane as a template and increasing intelligence gathering, and Xiao Tianyang considered the advice.

Xiao Tianyang accepted the Abyss Faction’s challenge and prepared the Heavenly Martial Dynasty’s forces for battle while both sides exploited loopholes in their contract. As the armies faced off, Xiao Tianyang noticed Augustine was absent and suspected something was wrong.

• Xiao Tianyang and the Platinum Apostle observed from their respective walls as the contract’s loopholes allowed the Black Mist and the Floating City to provide support.
• Xiao Tianyang noticed Augustine was missing and wondered whether the Abyss Will had interfered.

The Platinum Apostle’s vanguard attacked the Heavenly Martial Dynasty, but exposed its Supreme Evil Gods to swift counterattacks from Zhang Liao, the Twelfth Group Army, and Zhuge Liang’s Eight Trigrams Array. After the Abyss forces were driven back, the Platinum Apostle sent Habal into battle, leaving Habal wary of being blamed if the plan failed.

• Zhang Liao killed a Supreme Evil God, while Wang Shuang and Xu Huang killed or gravely wounded the other Supreme Evil Gods who charged out, causing their legions to lose combat strength.
• Zhang Liang and Xiao Tianyang assessed the Platinum Apostle’s tactical mistake as the Twelfth Group Army held off the enemy and Cao Cao organized a counterattack.
• Zhuge Liang’s Eight Trigrams Array empowered the Thirteenth Group Army, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao led attacks that inflicted heavy losses on the enemy.
• The ten Evil God Legions and their Fanatic Legions were driven back, and Xiao Tianyang’s Floating City collected the battlefield corpses for its Matter-Energy Furnace.
• The Platinum Apostle summoned Habal and ordered him into battle; Habal agreed but warned the Platinum Apostle to take responsibility if anything went wrong.

Bai Qi assigned the newly formed Seventeenth and Eighteenth Group Armies to confront the Abyss Faction’s Calamity Legions, trusting Wang Meng and Xie Xuan’s military ability despite their limited experience. Habal noticed the unfamiliar commanders and ordered his adjutant to probe their forces while he took charge of the battle.

• The chapter described the High-Dimensional Demons’ shared combat experience and compared the Demon Legion’s strength with the Destruction Legion’s durability.
• Bai Qi chose the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Group Armies to help drive the Abyss Faction from the Hidden God Plane, relying on Wang Meng and Xie Xuan’s skills as commanders.
• Habal spotted Wang Meng and Xie Xuan atop their Command Tower and asked his adjutant who they were.
• The adjutant reported that the two Group Armies were new and that their names, members, and combat strength were unknown.
• Habal ordered the adjutant to command the Third Brigade in a probing attack while he handled the battle.

Wang Meng and Xie Xuan led the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Group Armies into battle against the Demon Legion and the Destruction Legion. The Seventeenth Group Army destroyed Habal’s Third Brigade, while Xie Xuan prepared a strike against the Destruction Legion’s Dimensional Factory.

• Wang Meng recognized the Demon Legion’s advance as a probe and ordered Deng Qiang, Zhang Hao, and Dugu Xin to attack and cut off its retreat.
• Xie Xuan launched the Beifu Army’s third combat plan against the Destruction Legion, while Bai Qi ordered Wei Qing and Sun Jian to prepare to move.
• Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao overwhelmed Habal’s Third Brigade, and Dugu Xin’s flank attack completed its annihilation at the cost of twenty thousand casualties.
• Xie Xuan used his battlefield-space talent and the Xie Clan’s Heavenly Eye Divine Skill to locate the Dimensional Factory and planned to send elite troops to paralyze it.

The Heavenly Martial Dynasty launched a decisive battle against the weakened Abyss forces, and its generals gained the advantage through coordinated attacks and powerful individual fighters. Esdeath wounded Habal and Kla, leaving the Abyss faction with two impaired core combatants as the battle tilted toward the Dynasty.

• The Eighteenth Group Army crippled the Dimensional Factory and destroyed two mechanical brigades, while the Heavenly Martial Dynasty broke the deadlock and advanced toward a decisive battle.
• Bai Qi's Demon Slaying Legion tore open the Demon Legion's lines, and Du Hui, Gan Ning, Taishi Ci, and Wanyan Chenheshang killed enemy commanders.

• Li Mu directed Li Yuanba and Hou Junji to engage the Demon Legion as the fighting continued across the battlefield.
• Esdeath severely wounded Habal, then used Space-Time Freeze to injure Kla before he escaped into the black mist.
• With Habal and Kla impaired and the Platinum Apostles unable to act, the Heavenly Martial Dynasty's generals gained the battlefield advantage.

Xiao Tianyang and his advisers struggled to understand why the Abyss Faction had withdrawn, and Jia Xu proposed that the enemy was probing them. Seeking a way to learn the Abyss Faction’s objective sooner, Xiao Tianyang asked Little Chaos to accelerate its research and learned that doing so would require entering the deadly Abyss Rift.

• Xiao Tianyang questioned why the Abyss Faction had retreated, while Zhang Liang, Jia Xu, and Wei Liao considered the enemy’s possible motives.
• Wei Liao outlined two possibilities for the Abyss Faction’s response if the Second Column advanced: it could be a trap, or the Abyss Legion could be exhausted by the move.
• Jia Xu suggested that the Abyss Faction was probing the Heavenly Martial Dynasty, and Zhang Liang cautioned that guessing its objective would not be enough without a way to act on it.
• Jia Xu explained that understanding the enemy’s purpose could help Xiao Tianyang regain the initiative, prompting Xiao Tianyang to ask Little Chaos to speed up its research.
• Little Chaos offered two dangerous ways to accelerate the research: observe the Abyss Rift up close or enter it to remove its Abyssal crystal core, warning that either carried a high risk of death and that its contents could cause irreversible harm.

Xiao Tianyang received the Heaven and Earth Furnace from the Heavenly Dao Will and fused with it as his third Natal Treasure. With its energy-conversion ability and Heavenly Dao Golden Core, he gained a way to accelerate his cultivation and recover during battle.

• Xiao Tianyang called on the Heavenly Dao Will for a solution to his predicament.
• The Heavenly Dao Will sent Xiao Tianyang the Heaven and Earth Furnace, an Epoch Treasure containing a Heavenly Dao Golden Core.
• Xiao Tianyang decided the furnace suited his needs and pressed it to his chest to fuse with it.
• Xiao Tianyang completed the fusion in ten minutes and learned how to operate the furnace.
• Xiao Tianyang became the furnace's heir, with the Heavenly Dao Will's permission granting him access to the Golden Core's power.

Xiao Tianyang asked the [Chaos Ring] how to improve his combat strength and began following its instructions. He started fusing the [Emperor Flame] with the [Infinity Gauntlet] and refining his Chaos Energy while preparing to improve his body and soul.

• The [Chaos Ring] suggested ways to improve Xiao Tianyang’s Chaos Energy, Chaos Body, Chaos Soul, and Infinity Gauntlet, estimating the work would take one to two days.
• Xiao Tianyang asked Xin'er to gather rare metals and high-quality Divine Power Crystals from the Heavenly Martial Dynasty’s treasury.
• The [Chaos Ring] explained that the [Emperor Flame] would fuse with the [Infinity Gauntlet] rather than be consumed, and Xiao Tianyang began the fusion.
• Xiao Tianyang awakened the [Heaven and Earth Furnace] and used laws from the 'Heavenly Dao Golden Core' to refine his Chaos Energy.
• After half an hour, Xiao Tianyang’s Chaos Energy began glowing, and he determined he could use Soul Evasion to improve his soul while his body continued transforming.

Xiao Tianyang completed the enhancement of his soul, body, and [Infinity Gauntlet], gaining stronger abilities and refining his combat power. He then left alone to master his new strength and carry out a dangerous plan, believing he could escape the Abyss Will if necessary.

• Xiao Tianyang sent Xin'er away, then used high-quality Divine Power Crystals to transform his soul.
• Xiao Tianyang released excess Soul energy that cleansed the souls of nearby Imperial Guard soldiers before returning to his body.
• Xiao Tianyang finished tempering his body and learned from the [Chaos Ring] that Augustine possessed a Gene Lock tied to Abyss energy.
• Xiao Tianyang refined rare metals into energy particles and absorbed them to strengthen his body.
• Xiao Tianyang inspected the enhanced [Infinity Gauntlet], whose five [Infinite Gems] gained growth potential and whose attacks could inflict stacking Infinite Marks.
• Xiao Tianyang tore open space and departed alone to master his new abilities and pursue his dangerous plan.

Xiao Tianyang briefed his military leaders on his plan to enter the Abyss Rift, then traveled to the ruined Plane of All Beings to investigate the Abyss. He found signs that Bo Saixi had attacked the Abyss Camp and withdrew to gather more information before risking a move.

• Xiao Tianyang told Zhang Liang, Sun Wu, Jia Xu, and the other military representatives that he would investigate the Abyss Rift and ordered them to attack the next plane within three days while prioritizing stability.
• Xiao Tianyang teleported to the Abyss-corrupted Plane of All Beings, where the Abyss had defeated its gods and destroyed its protective power.
• Xiao Tianyang decided to investigate the Abyss Camp alone rather than meet Yue Fei and the others, since the Abyss Rift might be bait for Zhuang Zhou and his companions.
• Xiao Tianyang detected residual energy from Bo Saixi near the Abyss Camp and concluded that she had attacked the Abyss Rift days earlier.
• Xiao Tianyang left the camp to return and gather intelligence before making his next move.

Xiao Tianyang visited Bo Saixi and discussed his dangerous plan to enter the Abyss Rift, then uncovered the Abyss Will’s deeper strategy on the battlefield. He left after warning the Heavenly Dao Will that God King Bais’s forces faced danger whether they advanced or retreated.

• Xiao Tianyang told Bo Saixi he still intended to risk entering the Abyss Rift, and she explained the divine faction’s contingencies and the military’s ongoing efforts against the Abyss camp.
• Xiao Tianyang identified the suspected middle-aged enemy as the Ancient Clan Great Emperor and questioned why so many top Abyss Walkers had gathered on the battlefield.
• Xiao Tianyang realized the Abyss Will had used an apparent invasion of the Heavenly Dao Realm as bait to draw its enemies deep and strike at the Heavenly Dao’s foundation.
• Xiao Tianyang warned the Heavenly Dao Will that ordering God King Bais to retreat would also lead his forces into danger and demanded an answer within ten minutes.
• Xiao Tianyang departed to handle the crisis after telling Bo Saixi he would return later.

With only minutes left to avert disaster on the Abyss Battlefield, Xiao Tianyang weighed Guo Jia and Pang Tong’s plans and ordered the Heavenly Martial Dynasty to prepare a coordinated counteroffensive. He suspected the Abyss Will and Heavenly Dao Will were already clashing, and prepared to support God King Bais while leading the dynasty’s own assault.

• With the countdown nearly over, Guo Jia proposed forcing God King Bais and the others to stake everything on a desperate attack.
• Pang Tong proposed using the Abyss Faction’s presence in the Heavenly Dao Realm to cut off its reinforcements and combine that move with Guo Jia’s plan.
• Yue Fei warned that attacking the Abyss’s main force carried great risk, but Xiao Tianyang ordered Zero Warehouse’s equipment activated and sent Optimus Prime and the others into action.
• Xiao Tianyang assigned Guo Jia and Pang Tong to prepare separate battle plans and wondered whether the Abyss Will and Heavenly Dao Will had begun fighting.
• Xiao Tianyang used the seed within his body to send God King Bais a message, then rested before coordinating the Heavenly Martial Dynasty’s general offensive.

God King Bais organized the Heavenly Dao Faction to attack the Abyss after the Heavenly Dao promised doubled rewards for breaching it. Xiao Tianyang launched the Heavenly Martial Dynasty’s counterattack, forcing Augustine and the Abyss leaders to abandon their plan and prepare for battle.

• God King Bais persuaded most of the assembled factions to work together for doubled rewards and assigned them tasks to breach the Abyss’s defenses.
• Xiao Tianyang spent a third of the national treasury to speed up the Teleportation Array and moved the Second Column to join the First Column in the Plane of All Beings.
• Xiao Tianyang and Bai Qi ordered their forces forward in two Floating Cities toward the Abyss Faction.
• Augustine learned that the Abyss Will’s plan had been exposed and that damage to the Abyss Rift had made teleportation much slower.
• Augustine, the Ancient Clan Great Emperor, and the Night King agreed to fight the Heavenly Martial Dynasty and put the Abyss Battlefield on alert.

Xiao Tianyang faced Augustine and the Ancient Clan Great Emperor in battle while the Heavenly Martial Dynasty’s four renowned healers supported him. Their healing and protection let Xiao Tianyang withstand the pair, leaving the Abyss leaders unable to gain an advantage.

• Two Floating Cities settled at the northern and southern ends of the Abyss camp, and Xiao Tianyang rose into the air on the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud.
• Augustine and the Ancient Clan Great Emperor confronted Xiao Tianyang, while Guiguzi linked the Heavenly Martial Dynasty’s fighters with the Art of Opening and Closing.
• The Ancient Clan Great Emperor restrained Xiao Tianyang, but support from the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud freed him and let him wound Augustine.
• The Ancient Clan Great Emperor helped Augustine recover, and Augustine recognized Bian Que, Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Tuo, and Sun Simiao as the healers supporting Xiao Tianyang.
• Xiao Tianyang relied on the healers’ protection and recovery to keep Augustine and the Ancient Clan Great Emperor occupied.

Xiao Tianyang fought Augustine and the Ancient Clan Great Emperor, using the Infinity Gauntlet and his combat skills to break their control and push Augustine back. He then charged the Ancient Clan Great Emperor, whose Mirror Barrier reflected Xiao Tianyang’s slash and struck him with a mirror wall.

• Xiao Tianyang attacked Augustine with an Antimatter Energy Pile fireball, but Augustine used a severed arm to evade the strike and cursed him with blood magic.
• The Ancient Clan Great Emperor bound Xiao Tianyang with Spatial Lock while Augustine attacked, but Xiao Tianyang shattered the Seven-Colored Glazed Lamp to dispel the curse and broke free with a new Resisting Fire Ring.
• Xiao Tianyang struck Augustine with Broken Blade and Great Firmament Hand, forcing him back before charging the Ancient Clan Great Emperor.
• The Ancient Clan Great Emperor used Mirror Barrier to reflect Xiao Tianyang’s slash, wounding his shoulder, then slammed the mirror into him like a wall.

Xiao Tianyang battled Augustine with the Ancient Clan Great Emperor disrupting him while four healers kept him and the allied forces going. Across the low-altitude battlefield, the Heavenly Martial Dynasty struggled against the Abyss Walkers, and the Archbishop broke free of his opponent to target Bian Que and the other healers.

• Bian Que and the other healers restored Xiao Tianyang's wounds, allowing him to fight recklessly against the Ancient Clan Great Emperor until Augustine returned.
• Xiao Tianyang resumed his fierce battle with Augustine while the Ancient Clan Great Emperor tried to hinder him, and the four healing domains supported the allied fighters across the battlefield.
• The Abyss Walkers' large force put the Heavenly Martial Dynasty under pressure, but Guiguzi's tactics and the healers' domains helped the allies resist.
• Yuan Tiangang fought the Black Pharaoh, Silver Queen, and Mechanical Duke, while Li Chunfeng and the Imperial Astronomical Bureau's formation held back many Abyss Walkers.
• Tong Yuan kept the High Priestess occupied with his spear, preventing the powerful assassin from attacking other fighters.
• The Archbishop broke free from his opponent and turned to hunt Bian Que and the other healers.
