Chapter Summaries

The Tianwu Divine Dynasty repelled the Abyss Faction’s three-route assault at great cost, then spent five days without another enemy attack. Xiao Tianyang understood Sun Wu’s three strategic choices and was left weighing a risky plan for victory against a defensive strategy.

• The Abyss Faction launched a full-scale assault, but the Tianwu Divine Dynasty’s armies and Imperial Guards stopped its advance and drove it back after less than three days.
• Bai Qi pursued the retreating enemy for four days, while the Tianwu Divine Dynasty suffered heavy losses among its soldiers, Transformers, and fighters.
• The Abyss Faction stayed off the battlefield for five days as its leaders reconsidered their next move and shifted the fighting toward the wilderness and Ancient Savage Beasts.
• Xiao Tianyang reviewed Sun Wu’s upper, middle, and lower strategies and weighed the risky plan to outscheme the enemy against the safer defensive approach.

Xiao Tianyang chose to defend through offense and led a group from the Hall of Enshrinement to meet the Abyss Faction’s challenge. At the wilderness-zone rendezvous, he launched an attack, and his allies quickly overwhelmed the Betrayer Alliance’s Supreme Experts.

• Xiao Tianyang decided to reinforce the Abyss Faction’s first line of defense and take a group out to answer the faction’s challenge.
• Sun Wu returned to the Frontline with his plan, while Xiao Tianyang set out with Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Guiguzi, and others from the Hall of Enshrinement.

• A scholar in a Confucian Robe erased the firelight of a Supreme Expert’s Meteorite Rain and injured its caster with what he called the power of truth.

Zhen wounded an Abyss Faction Supreme Expert with his Truth ability, and Kong Zhou killed him. Xiao Tianyang then struck first against the remaining enemies, killed an Ancient God System expert, and prepared to face the rest of the clash.

• Zhen used Truth to redirect an Abyss Faction Supreme Expert’s attack and worsen his internal injuries, then Kong Zhou killed the wounded man with the Chengying Sword.

• Xiao Tianyang shattered the space around the Ancient God System expert and killed him despite the mocking expressions in the eyes on his severed head.

Xiao Tianyang struggled to kill his formidable opponents, so he changed tactics and risked taking attacks to eliminate an Abyss Supreme Expert. By the third day, the growing casualties pushed several combat representatives to unite and prepare a seemingly legitimate attack, leaving Xiao Tianyang facing a coordinated assault.

• Xiao Tianyang defeated an Ancient God System expert who trapped him in two layers of illusion, then found that the remaining opponents could withstand his attacks and retreat.
• Xiao Tianyang used Dream Scar on a Supreme Expert, but two hidden Abyss Supreme Experts struck from behind before he could finish the target.
• Xiao Tianyang let their attacks hit him, killed one attacker by destroying his soul with the Infinity Gauntlet, healed his wounds, and pursued the two survivors as others followed.
• By the third day, representatives discussed retreat because Xiao Tianyang had killed several of their people, but they feared the Abyss Faction's supervisor would condemn an unjustified withdrawal.
• Several combat representatives formed a united front and charged Xiao Tianyang with Mysterious Weapons.

After five days of fighting, Xiao Tianyang’s forces repelled the Abyss Faction’s attack and withdrew to the fortress city, where he ordered them to maintain a defensive strategy.

• Xiao Tianyang led his group out of the northeastern wilderness, where they encountered and defeated several Ancient Savage Beasts before returning to the fortress city.
• Xiao Tianyang processed official documents and ordered Yan Lingji to tell the Grand Marshal to prioritize results and continue defending rather than attacking.
• Yan Lingji reported that Laozi and the others had sent no news, and Xiao Tianyang decided not to send anyone to look for them.
• The narration explained that the war was driven by competing interests, and Xiao Tianyang expected the defensive struggle to continue for a long time.

After secretly observing the Abyss Battlefield, Xiao Tianyang used what he learned to assess the war and ordered the Tianwu Divine Dynasty to plan a counterattack within three months. The chapter leaves Xiao Tianyang and Jia Xu preparing to seek a breakthrough on the Ancient Wasteland Continent, with Xiao Tianyang willing to serve as part of the plan.

• At the Central Building in Fortress City, Xiao Tianyang ordered the Grand Commandant to plan a counterattack within three months and told Jia Xu to coordinate it.
• Jia Xu said the Abyss Faction's defenses on the Ancient Wasteland Continent were formidable and that they might need to act personally to find a breakthrough.
• Xiao Tianyang offered to become one of Jia Xu's pieces, while noting that the enemy had been avoiding the Hall of Enshrinement and that it had secured only five Supreme Experts since the war began.

Xiao Tianyang approved Sun Wu’s plan to probe the Abyss Faction with a limited offensive in the northeast and arranged support for the operation. He sent White Robe to the northwestern stronghold and tasked Sacred Spirit and Ram Horn with protecting Sun Wu from possible retaliation.

• Sun Wu planned to send the Second, Fourth, and Sixth Armies into the northeastern wilderness within two months to inflict losses on the Abyss Faction while limiting their own casualties.

• Lu Bu headed for Erhekǒu, Huo Qubing set out to attack the supply line, and Xiang Yu prepared to cross the snowy mountain toward the Abyss Faction’s lair.

After Xiang Yu’s raid disrupted the Abyss Faction, Sun Wu’s forces seized the initiative and swept through much of the northwestern wilderness. Xiao Tianyang and Sun Wu then began planning a final campaign on the central route, using rivers to move troops and conceal their positions.

• Xiang Yu’s accidental discovery of Abyss Faction rulers meeting in the kitchen led to a battle that killed many second-generation heirs.
• Sun Wu shifted the strategic focus northwest, sending the Imperial Guard to defend Erhekǒu while three armies advanced north to destroy enemy forces.

As the Ancient Wasteland Continent war intensified, Eternal Night revealed strength on the Abyss Battlefield that matched the Void, and Baal led a devastating counteroffensive. Xiao Tianyang ordered Sun Wu to slow the fighting and manage losses while the war continued toward a decisive battle.

• The Abyss Faction lost its gains on the Ancient Wasteland Continent after Bai Qi stabbed them in the back, though the Tianwu Divine Dynasty shared some benefits with its allies.

After the six-year war ended without a clear victor, the Heavenly Dao Faction gained the upper hand, and the Tianwu Divine Dynasty and Eternal Night began planning their recovery and growth. Xiao Tianyang set the dynasty’s demands for dividing the spoils, while Zhang Yi argued they could claim half of the remaining benefits by offering allies lasting trade relations.

• Xiao Tianyang appointed Li Si, Zhang Yi, and Zhang Qian to negotiate the spoils and insisted that the Ancient Wasteland Continent belong to the Tianwu Divine Dynasty.
• Zhang Yi urged Xiao Tianyang to demand half of the remaining benefits, arguing that other planes would value lasting trade relations with the dynasty more than a larger share of resources they could not defend.

After returning from the Ancient Wasteland Continent, Xiao Tianyang spent three years developing the Tianwu Divine Dynasty and appointing Jiang Shang and others to high office.

After the Tianwu Immortal Dynasty and its allies broke the Abyss Faction’s hold on the Third and Fourth Layers, Xiao Tianyang and Jiang Shang set out a Hundred-Year Plan for the dynasty’s development and future advancement. They also arranged for the dynasty to support the Heavenly Dao against the Abyss while avoiding a direct confrontation with the Abyss Will.

After three years of preparation, Xiao Tianyang began Douluo Continent’s ascension to the Ninth Tier and fused it with Eternal Night and the [Life Ancient Tree] with the [World Tree]. He then drove the still-stabilizing continent toward the Abyss Battlefield, leaving Augustine alarmed by the possibility that the Heavenly Dao Will had agreed to support Xiao Tianyang.

As the Abyss brought its planes to the battlefield and revealed its plan to seize the battlefield, the Heavenly Dao, and Douluo Continent, Xiao Tianyang awakened the Chaos power of the [Chaos Ring].
