Chapter Summaries

Satan, Baal, and Duma agreed to revive Mammon and postpone attacking the plane threatening Douluo Continent until Xiao Tianyang approved and they had more allies. Xiao Tianyang returned to his camp, intending to stay hidden, and hinted to Yue Shen that he had gained something remarkable.

• Satan turned Gnar Fagern into a ball of light and kept it, while promising not to harm it before Xiao Tianyang gave the word.
• Baal proposed attacking the plane that had invaded Douluo Continent, but Satan insisted they wait for Xiao Tianyang's approval and prepare more helpers, including the revived Mammon.
• The three agreed to report the threat to Xiao Tianyang when he returned to collect his weapons, and Satan chose not to contact him in the meantime.
• Xiao Tianyang reasoned that his safe return might make the Evil Spirit People and the Holy Spirit Cult seek Gnar Fagern, so he decided to notify Yue Shen and hide in camp.
• Yue Shen reported that the battle had proceeded according to plan and that Optimus Prime and the others had stopped Evil Soul Beasts from reaching the rear.
• Xiao Tianyang told Yue Shen that his victory had exceeded his expectations and promised to reveal his gains after the battle.

Xiao Tianyang’s forces held the Demon Forest battlefield under Yue Shen’s command while the Grand Commander activated a curse formation that crippled the Evil Demons. The battle remained unresolved, with the formation buying time for Li Cunxiao and giving the Sea of Ten Thousand Evils a chance to reveal its hidden strength.

• After Xiao Tianyang drew Chaugnar Fagern away, the Holy Spirit Cult and Evil Spirit People’s plans faltered, and Yue Shen coordinated the defenders to hold three positions for an hour.
• The Grand Commander used the inner formation to crush the Evil Demons’ hearts and make many collapse, while Ye Xishui struggled to command the disorganized forces.
• Ye Xishui tried to rotate and reorganize her troops, but the Evil Demons ignored her orders and had no reserves to deploy.
• Following Yue Shen’s orders, the Grand Commander activated the Fate Curse and Bloodline Curse, targeting the Evil Demons with the inner formation.
• Xiao Tianyang’s arrangements bought time for Li Cunxiao and created an opportunity for the Sea of Ten Thousand Evils to reveal its hidden trump cards.

Xiao Tianyang reflected on what he had learned from fighting Chaugnar Fagern and discussed the Second Battlefield with Yue Shen. After explaining his plans to her, he was asked to tell her the truth.

• Xiao Tianyang concluded that he could defeat Chaugnar Fagern's Mental Clones but would be helpless against its true body, and he considered how to use the Senluo Giant Elephant King.
• Xiao Tianyang told Yue Shen that he would leave the Second Battlefield's management to her and asked whether she still needed to oversee its remaining preparations.
• Yue Shen explained that the opening's difficult early stages had passed and that other Baihua Tower members could handle the final arrangements.
• Xiao Tianyang began telling Yue Shen his plans, while she listened without showing a reaction.
• Yue Shen looked at Xiao Tianyang and asked him to tell her the truth.

Xiao Tianyang and Yue Shen discussed the risks of his plan, and Yue Shen agreed to support him after he explained that the potential rewards justified the danger. With the battle over, Xiao Tianyang prepared to return to Divine Might but decided to meet an old friend first.

• Xiao Tianyang considered the danger of provoking both the Sea of Ten Thousand Evils and the Elemental Empire, then told Yue Shen he would accept the risks if the rewards were worthwhile.
• Yue Shen apologized for questioning him and promised to help him accomplish his goal while keeping their secrets private.
• Xiao Tianyang and Yue Shen spent nearly three hours discussing how to integrate his goal into the collective before the Grand Commander announced that the battle had ended.
• The Grand Commander noticed that Xiao Tianyang seemed relieved of a burden but chose not to ask him about it.
• Xiao Tianyang chose to return to Divine Might and said he would meet an old friend before leaving, since they would be concerned about their trump card.

Ye Xishui realized the Evil Demons had collapsed because Xiao Tianyang had killed the being they worshipped and displayed its frozen form near his city. She led the Holy Spirit Cult’s surviving upper ranks to the edge of Demon Forest, where they saw the statue and understood that the Evil Demons’ faith had shattered.

• Ye Xishui turned her doubts about Xiao Tianyang into renewed resolve, deciding he shared blame for her suffering because he had allowed the Holy Spirit Cult to survive.
• Black Pool panicked over the crack in Elephant King’s Soul Pearl, and the Third Elder reported that the Evil Demons had gone from mania to complete collapse.
• Ye Xishui ordered the Holy Spirit Cult’s upper ranks to follow her toward the edge of Demon Forest, warning that those who refused would face the Ten Thousand Demon Cave.
• Ye Xishui and the others saw a giant elephant-like statue near Xiao Tianyang’s city wall, and Long Xiaoyao sensed the familiar aura of Chaugnar Fagern’s Mental Clone.
• Ye Xishui identified the aura as Chaugnar Fagern’s Mental Clone, and Long Xiaoyao understood that the Evil Demons had collapsed after seeing their revered being frozen on display.

Xiao Tianyang assured Yue Shen that the Evil Spirit People were a Slave Race rather than a Vassal Race of Gnar Fagern, easing her concern about the Sea of Ten Thousand Evils. Yue Shen then raised the question of Li Cunxiao’s origins and revealed that Baihua Tower had investigated him and found no cause for suspicion.

• Yue Shen worried that the Evil Spirit People might be Gnar Fagern’s Vassal Race and require a stronger response.
• Xiao Tianyang explained that the Evil Spirit People could only be a Slave Race and assured Yue Shen of his judgment.
• Yue Shen proposed changing their arrangements and asked Xiao Tianyang whether he was curious about Li Cunxiao’s origins.
• Xiao Tianyang said he trusted Li Cunxiao, while Yue Shen explained that Baihua Tower had investigated him because he would be important to the Second Battlefield.
• Yue Shen’s willingness to discuss the investigation openly showed Xiao Tianyang that Li Cunxiao and the people behind him were clean.

Xiao Tianyang learned how Li Cunxiao inherited the Dragon Tiger Daoist Li Hu’s legacy, then recognized Gnar, Fagern’s apostle, emerging from the Demon Forest. He warned Yue Shen not to divine Gnar and explained that the apostle had likely destroyed his own cultivation to enter Douluo Continent.

• The Grand Commander explained that Li Hu was a two-thousand-year-old Twin Martial Soul expert who had fought an Elementalist at the Limit Douluo level.
• The Grand Commander revealed that Li Cunxiao inherited Li Hu’s Shenwu legacy but was an orphan rather than his blood relative, and Xiao Tianyang told Yue Shen there was no need to investigate his origins.
• Gnar emerged from the Demon Forest, and Xiao Tianyang identified him as Fagern’s apostle and warned Yue Shen not to divine him.
• Xiao Tianyang told the women that Gnar had probably severed his cultivation to evade the Plane Spirit’s surveillance and enter Douluo Continent.

Xiao Tianyang refused Nixon’s demand to return the Senluo Giant Elephant King and pretended to fly into a rage, prompting the women to restrain him. After Nixon left, Yue Shen and the Grand Commander suspected Gnar? Fagern had not told its apostle the full story of its defeat.

• Nixon demanded that Xiao Tianyang return the Senluo Giant Elephant King and warned him that Gnar? Fagern could support the Sea of Ten Thousand Evils.
• Xiao Tianyang rejected Nixon’s demands, displayed his power, and acted furious when Nixon lectured him.
• Yue Shen and the Grand Commander stopped Xiao Tianyang from charging into the Demon Forest, while Nixon returned there safely.
• Xiao Tianyang whispered instructions to Yue Shen, then left the city wall for the camp.
• Yue Shen and the Grand Commander discussed Xiao Tianyang’s performance and suspected Gnar? Fagern had concealed details of its defeat from Nixon.

Yue Shen deduced that Gnar Fagern had not learned what his Mental Clone experienced because Satan erased the clone’s shared memories, leaving Gnar to send Nixon with an inadequate offer. Xiao Tianyang returned to Eternal Night, where Satan explained that the plane’s people were awakening and rebuilding rapidly thanks to Filth Qi absorbed from Douluo Continent.

• Yue Shen reasoned that Gnar Fagern’s ignorance of his Mental Clone’s fate explained why he sent Nixon to negotiate, while Satan’s destruction of the clone’s imprint had concealed what happened.
• Xiao Tianyang returned to Eternal Night through a Teleportation Gate and found himself inside a newly constructed palace.
• Satan told Xiao Tianyang that Baal’s construction crews had made rapid progress, aided by Eternal Night’s newly awakened people.
• Satan explained that Eternal Night absorbed Filth Qi from Douluo Continent, easing cultivation for its Soul Masters and producing Primal Force for Eternal Night’s revival.
• Xiao Tianyang planned to ask the Plane Spirit to permanently anchor the passage within Shenwu Hall.

Xiao Tianyang asked Satan whether he should return the Senluo Giant Elephant King and heard Satan’s plan to pursue greater gains by targeting a plane controlled by an evil god. Xiao Tianyang agreed in principle but ordered Satan to wait until Duma was resurrected and asked him to address the risks in the meantime.

• Xiao Tianyang met Satan in the palace hall and asked whether he should return the Senluo Giant Elephant King unconditionally.
• Satan explained that the beast’s value was minor compared with conquering a plane controlled by an evil god, then outlined a plan that required Xiao Tianyang’s approval.
• Satan kept his plans separate from Douluo Continent and reasoned that Yue Shen’s capable aide there should not be disrupted without Xiao Tianyang’s request.
• Xiao Tianyang accepted Satan’s proposal but told him to wait until Duma was resurrected before acting.
• Xiao Tianyang warned that discovering the corpse was a fake could prompt an attack on Douluo Continent and asked Satan to find a way to prevent dangers during the wait.

Xiao Tianyang discussed Satan’s plan to plant Explosive Talismans in the Senluo Giant Elephant King and use the blast to open a passage for a counterattack into the Sea of Ten Thousand Evils. After learning how Eternal Night’s forces adapted their strength to other planes, Xiao Tianyang sought to understand how much damage Satan could inflict so he could inform Yue Shen and change Douluo Continent’s strategy.

• Satan gave Xiao Tianyang three Explosive Talismans and explained how they would destroy the Senluo Giant Elephant King and create a temporary passage.
• Satan proposed sending Baal and the others through the passage to disrupt the Sea of Ten Thousand Evils after Nixon obtained what he wanted and Chaugnar Fagern broke his promise.
• Xiao Tianyang questioned how Satan’s forces could invade another plane, and Satan explained that their strength declined gradually to match each plane’s limits.
• Satan said Baal could throw the Sea of Ten Thousand Evils into chaos through blitzkrieg and encounter battles rather than confronting its forces head-on.
• Xiao Tianyang decided he needed to learn how much chaos Satan could cause so he could relay the information to Yue Shen and help Douluo Continent take the initiative.

Xiao Tianyang returned from meeting Satan with information about Eternal Night and a possible plan to free up the Second Battlefield, which he kept to himself for now. He shared the information with Yue Shen, who revealed an expanded strategy for Li Cunxiao’s legion.

• Xiao Tianyang transmitted information about the Eternal Night Plane to Yue Shen, who was shocked by its implications.
• Yue Shen concluded that Eternal Night could let them increase their stakes and explained that she had revised her strategy for Li Cunxiao’s legion.

Xiao Tianyang waited for the right moment before bringing the frozen Senluo Giant Elephant King to Demon Forest to negotiate. He punished Nixon and demanded satisfying terms, leaving Nixon to decide how much to offer to protect what Chaugnar Fagern treasured.

• Xiao Tianyang left the plan to Yue Shen and waited for the key figure, Li Cunxiao, to take his place.
• After three hours, Xiao Tianyang flew to Demon Forest carrying the frozen Senluo Giant Elephant King and called for someone to negotiate.

• Nixon, realizing Xiao Tianyang had targeted his weak point, began weighing what to offer in exchange for the Senluo Giant Elephant King.

• Nixon returned to the Demon Forest dissatisfied after negotiating with Xiao Tianyang, having agreed to his conditions so he could reclaim the Senluo Giant Elephant King’s body.

Xiao Tianyang celebrated after forcing Nixon to agree to costly terms for the Senluo Giant Elephant King, while Yue Shen and the Grand Commander discussed the next steps. He planned to return to Divine Might, keep watch on Nixon’s side, and explore recruiting Long Xiaoyao and some members of the Holy Spirit Cult.

• Xiao Tianyang laughed with Yue Shen and the Grand Commander, pleased that Nixon had been forced to accept the negotiation terms.
• The chapter explained that Nixon could not ask Gnar Fagern to cover the cost, since apostles were expected to bear the price of their own negotiations.

• Elemental Kingdom expanded the battlefield at the Savage Forest Frontline, while the [Bloody Wall] enclosed it and a fortress flew the flags of Divine Might, the Divine Might Legion, and Esdeath.
