Chapter Summaries

Xiao Tianyang received reports that his forces had broken the encirclement and routed the Orc Alliance, while a sword formation killed several tribal leaders. After the battle, Ban Chao’s forces discovered the Draenei commander but withdrew rather than risk another fight, leaving the Void Faction’s plans badly damaged.

• Xiao Tianyang read Sun Wu’s report that the Seventh Group Army had broken free, the Flying Tiger Legion had raided enemy camps, and the Eighth Group Army had struck the werewolves and Panda People.
• Xin'er read a report that Li Bai, Yue Nu, Gai Nie, Pei Min, Chong Da, Kong Zhou, and Wang Yue had killed twenty-seven tribal leaders in the True Martial Seven-Section Sword Formation, including the orc and werewolf leaders.
• The Orc Alliance fought Xiao Tianyang’s forces for three days and nights on the Blue Ice Battlefield before suffering a crushing defeat.
• Ban Chao and his troops ambushed the retreating Orc Alliance and discovered that a Draenei was its commander, then withdrew before the surviving forces could retaliate.
• The Void Faction lost its advantage after the Orc Alliance’s defeat and the loss of the outer regions of the Ston Snow Region, following the failure of its assassination attempt on Xiao Tianyang.

The Void Will attacked Xiao Tianyang in his study, trying to send him and the study to the Abyss Battlefield. Sun Wu and Jin Tai disrupted the transfer as powerful figures rushed to help, but the Void Will faced an unexpected threat from Zhou Tong and his disciples.

• After the Frontline’s Net Closure Plan concluded, Sun Wu went to the central pavilion to discuss Void defenses and army reorganization with Xiao Tianyang.
• Sun Wu sensed danger and fired blood-red spears into Xiao Tianyang’s study, where purple runes destroyed them.
• Half an hour earlier, the Void Will had invaded Xiao Tianyang’s study, incapacitated Xin'er, and tried to overwhelm Xiao Tianyang’s defenses and transfer him to the Abyss Battlefield.
• Jin Tai struck the purple barrier, weakening it but causing the Void Will to accelerate the transfer.
• The Void Will realized the attack had drawn powerful figures to the pavilion, but it did not know that Zhou Tong and his disciples were also present.

Jin Tai and the others fought to stop the Void Will from taking Xiao Tianyang, but a white-haired Daoist broke the barrier and Xiao Tianyang briefly pulled the Void Will back into the study. The Void Will still took Xiao Tianyang away, leaving his allies to stabilize the Heavenly Martial Dynasty.

• Zhou Tong, Li Bai, and Gai Nie attacked the Void barrier, but the Void Will's defenses resisted their combined force.
• Zhuang Zhou and other Daoist masters joined the battle, and the white-haired old man used a Yin-Yang Diagram and a ring to dismantle and shatter the barrier.
• Jin Tai led Zhou Tong and the others toward the study, but the Void Will released purple energy and announced it would return for half the white-haired old man's soul.
• Xiao Tianyang awakened and struck the Void Will with the Emperor's Seal, allowing the white-haired old man's flying swords and the others' attacks to hit it.
• The study collapsed, and Xiao Tianyang vanished; White Robe, Ram Horn, and Sacred Spirit concluded that the Void Will had taken him.
• Sacred Spirit urged Sun Wu to stabilize the situation and summon the Empress if needed, while the three avatars refused to interfere in dynasty affairs.

Xiao Tianyang escaped into the Shadow Dimension after Void Will left him gravely injured and marked, while a band of Three-Headed Hound Demons pursued him. As Void raced toward the First Layer, Xiao Tianyang realized he needed to leave the Second Layer quickly and began questioning his decision to send Sima Cuo and the others into the Abyss Battlefield.

• Xiao Tianyang landed on the Second Layer with severe injuries and a mark from Void Will, then summoned Void and ordered it to flee west through the Shadow Dimension.
• Baha and the Three-Headed Hound Demons arrived at the formation site and pursued Xiao Tianyang on their greatswords.
• Xiao Tianyang recovered slightly while hidden in the Shadow Dimension, though his body's recovery system remained paralyzed by his struggle with Void Will.
• Xiao Tianyang considered the system's unusual updates and concluded that escaping the Second Layer was more urgent than healing or removing the mark.
• Xiao Tianyang observed the battlefield's grim landscape and began doubting his decision to send Sima Cuo and the others into the Abyss Battlefield.

Xiao Tianyang awakened the Chaos Ring in the Abyss Battlefield and learned how he could eventually fuse Chaos Energy. He prioritized escaping his pursuers, reached the First Layer, and sought the Douluo Marks while Baha and several dozen others followed.

• Xiao Tianyang awakened the Chaos Ring, which sealed some abilities because he did not meet its requirements.
• Xiao Tianyang learned that fusing Chaos Energy required thousands of energy types, and the Chaos Ring could provide samples through draws.
• Xiao Tianyang decided to leave the Second Layer for the First Layer, where he hoped to evade the Void Faction and return to Douluo Continent.
• Xiao Tianyang entered the First Layer, noted that his injuries had recovered by about thirty percent, and ordered Void to locate the Douluo Marks.
• Baha led several dozen pursuers through the portal into the First Layer to continue hunting Xiao Tianyang.

After leaving the Nine Dragon Imperial Guards, Xiao Tianyang planned a route to Twin Ghost Mountain so he could recover, but Baha caught up with him. Xiao Tianyang fought Baha through Void, and the battle ended with Baha crashing into the ground.

• Xiao Tianyang left the Nine Dragon Imperial Guards because they could not offer him a safe place to recover, and he learned he might have to remain in the Abyss Battlefield for half a year unless he earned enough merit to leave early.
• Xiao Tianyang studied the map he had received from the Nine Dragon Imperial Guards and identified Twin Ghost Mountain as the safest place to recover, though reaching it meant crossing the chaotic center of the first layer.
• Baha attacked Xiao Tianyang, and Void fought him before Xiao Tianyang took control and transformed Void into a humanoid fighter wielding a Yan Ling Dao.
• Xiao Tianyang learned that Sima Cuo had helped him by leaving behind items carrying his aura, drawing Baha away from the Nine Dragon Imperial Guards while the other demons targeted them.
• Xiao Tianyang struck Baha repeatedly with the Yan Ling Dao, then kicked him into the ground after Baha turned and taunted him.

Xiao Tianyang recognized the creature pursuing him as a Sacrificial Warrior and fled with Void into the Shadow Dimension, but the warrior left a bloody mark that kept him targeted. Baha revived after being beheaded, then was killed by the Sacrificial Warrior, whose Abyss Energy triggered an instant-death effect once Xiao Tianyang’s Imperial Aura seal wore off.

• Xiao Tianyang identified the hilltop creature as a Sacrificial Warrior and recalled that such beings relentlessly attacked all living things.
• The Sacrificial Warrior struck Xiao Tianyang and Void, but Xiao Tianyang ordered Void to retreat into the Shadow Dimension.
• The Sacrificial Warrior damaged the Shadow Dimension, then beheaded Baha before following Xiao Tianyang’s trail.
• Baha regenerated his head, weakened, and fled on his greatsword while expecting the Sacrificial Warrior to attack Xiao Tianyang again.
• The Sacrificial Warrior cut Baha into pieces and annihilated him after the Imperial Aura from Xiao Tianyang’s kick had stopped sealing its Abyss Energy.

While trapped and gravely injured in the Shadow Dimension, Xiao Tianyang decided to gamble on entering the Shadow Plane and used a supplementary clause in the [Chaos Ring] to summon a Chaos Being. He entered a low-power state to await its arrival, leaving the next move unresolved.

• Xiao Tianyang discovered that a branch of Abyss Energy was inside his body and learned he could absorb it only after recovering to eighty percent strength.
• Xiao Tianyang chose the Shadow Plane as his next target, reasoning that his injuries would kill him soon if he stayed hidden in the Shadow Dimension.
• The [Chaos Ring] revealed that Xiao Tianyang met a supplementary clause allowing him to open Chaos Space and awaken one dormant Chaos Being by spending all his current points.
• After learning that Chaos Beings were supreme powerhouses and trusted allies of the 'Chaos Lord,' Xiao Tianyang agreed to summon one.
• Xiao Tianyang put Void's actions on hold and entered a low-power state while he waited for the Chaos Being to arrive.

The Chaos Clan awakened Chaos Fire and sent him to protect Xiao Tianyang, who met him in the Shadow Dimension. Xiao Tianyang accepted a ball of rule energy from Chaos Fire and prepared to enter the Shadow Plane to recover while Chaos Fire fought there for several days.

• Void, Time, and Demon restored the ruined plane through the Chaos Ring and decided to send Chaos Fire to assist their weakened My Lord.
• Chaos Fire awakened in the Giant Formation, vowed to protect My Lord, and was transported out of the plane by a light pillar.
• In the Shadow Dimension, Xiao Tianyang watched Chaos Fire emerge through a flaming doorway and break free of the Shackles of Rules.
• Chaos Fire knelt before Xiao Tianyang and offered him the rule energy he had gathered.
• Xiao Tianyang told Chaos Fire to address him as Your Majesty and said he would enter the Shadow Plane to recover while Chaos Fire fought there for three to four days.

Xiao Tianyang entered the Shadow Plane and meditated behind a barrier while Chaos Fire fought off waves of Shadow Monsters. With the monsters’ Energy Essence accelerating his recovery, Xiao Tianyang committed to a full day of treatment and considered breaking through his bottleneck.

• Xiao Tianyang entered the Shadow Plane, where a vast horde of Shadow Monsters attacked him and Void.
• Chaos Fire stepped forward to draw the monsters’ attention and used powerful flames to clear them away from Xiao Tianyang.
• Xiao Tianyang began cultivating behind Chaos Fire’s barrier, drawing purified energy into his body as he worked to master Chaos Energy.
• Xiao Tianyang’s life force provoked more Shadow Monsters, which Chaos Fire burned into green smoke while extracting their Energy Essence.
• The Energy Essence accelerated Xiao Tianyang’s recovery, so he decided to complete his treatment and restore himself to peak condition, possibly breaking through his bottleneck.

Xiao Tianyang reached Douluo Continent’s Soul Power limit, transforming his physique, soul realm, and domain while recovering to peak condition. He sent Chaos Fire deeper into the Shadow Plane to gather energy, while keeping the Chaos Clan’s loyalty under careful scrutiny.

• Xiao Tianyang broke through the Soul Power limit, awakened Chaos Body and Chaos Soul, and upgraded World Domain into Chaos Domain, whose life and death powers killed many nearby Shadow Beings.
• Xiao Tianyang recovered fully and considered how his new physique refined energy and how his upgraded domain affected its surroundings.
• Chaos Fire said it could last seven days and offered to venture deeper into the Shadow Plane to capture Shadow Beings and accelerate Xiao Tianyang’s acquisition of Chaos Energy.
• Xiao Tianyang ordered Chaos Fire to depart without leaving protection behind, and Chaos Fire rode the Flame Beast toward the deeper regions.
• Xiao Tianyang watched Chaos Fire leave and resolved to test the Chaos Clan’s loyalty, ready to use Chaos Ring’s countermeasures if needed.

Xiao Tianyang set aside his concerns about Chaos and prepared to strengthen himself in the Shadow Plane, while Void demonstrated its combat potential. He began a risky cultivation method to absorb and purify energy, hoping to return to the Douluo Continent within three months.

• Xiao Tianyang decided to stop pursuing the unclear secrets of Chaos and focus on becoming stronger.
• Void fought the Golden Seeds with its Spiral Sword while another Void stabilized the surrounding space, and Xiao Tianyang considered how it could develop its combat abilities.

• Xiao Tianyang arranged energy-containing items and magical treasures around himself, then began cultivating with the method granted by [Chaos Ring].
• Energy passed through Chaos Fire's barrier, the Nine Dragons Locking Heaven Formation, and an energy vortex before Xiao Tianyang's [Chaos Body] absorbed it.

Xiao Tianyang accepted Chaos Energy, gained new abilities, and learned the origins of the Chaos Lord and the Chaos Clan. After leaving the Shadow Dimension with Chaos Fire and Void, he headed east to rendezvous with the Nine Dragon Imperial Guards while Sacrificial Warriors pursued them.

• Chaos Ring converted Xiao Tianyang to Chaos Energy and merged his abilities into Eye of Heaven, Immortal Bone, and Supreme Blade.

Xiao Tianyang returned to the Nine Dragon Imperial Guards' camp and found the Void Faction attacking under cover of an Abyss Vessel. He sent the Tianwu Dragon Guards to reinforce the battlefield and planned to seize the vessel, leaving the battle's momentum poised to shift toward the Heavenly Martial Dynasty.

• Xiao Tianyang and Chaos Fire shook off their pursuers and arrived at the camp, where the Void Faction was attacking alongside the Abyss.
• Chaos Fire explained that the Void Faction had used an Abyss Vessel to conceal its assault, and Xiao Tianyang summoned the Tianwu Dragon Guards and sent Chaos Fire to find the vessel's owner.
• Xiao Tianyang entered the camp, where Sima Cuo reported that the Abyss Vessel concealed the battle's aura and that the Void Faction could not attack without restraint.
• Xiao Tianyang outlined a plan for the Tianwu Dragon Guards to reinforce Lu Wenlong and then Wanyan Jin Danzi, while Chaos Fire targeted the Abyss Vessel's owner.
• Sima Cuo prepared to enter the battlefield and activate his War Talents, while Xiao Tianyang's enhancements and the Dragon Guards' arrival began to tilt the battle toward the Heavenly Martial Dynasty.

Xiao Tianyang and Sima Cuo waited for the right moment to force a decisive battle and let Chaos Fire strike the Void commander under the Heavenly Dao’s rules. After two days of fighting, Xiao Tianyang’s Emperor Talent transformation finished, and he prepared to receive his inheritance.

• Xiao Tianyang reviewed the Void Will’s strategy and planned to use Sima Cuo’s signal to begin a decisive battle while Chaos Fire removed the owner of the Abyss Vessel.
• Xiao Tianyang waited for his War Talent transformation and asked the [Chaos Ring] about its progress, then teased it for objecting to the name “Little Chaos.”
• The Nine Dragon Imperial Guards counterattacked as the Void Faction steadily sent in more troops, and Xiao Tianyang observed that the enemy could revive and did not fear death.
• After two days, both sides had suffered heavy losses, though the Tianwu Dragon Guards and Sima Cuo helped keep the casualty ratio from worsening.
• The [Chaos Ring] announced that Xiao Tianyang’s Emperor Talent had awakened five War Talents and told him to find a safe place to receive the inheritance.
• Xiao Tianyang sat cross-legged in the camp, preparing to receive the inheritance.

Xiao Tianyang recovered from awakening five Emperor Talents and activated them to empower the Nine Dragon Imperial Guards. Sima Cuo responded to his signal, and the dynasty’s troops prepared to launch a sudden counterattack against the unprepared Void Faction.

• The Chaos Ring announced that Xiao Tianyang had awakened five Emperor Talents, and he recovered from the strain of receiving them.
• Xiao Tianyang inspected the talents, which granted military, administrative, cultural, and economic benefits drawn from five emperors’ legacies.
• Xiao Tianyang reasoned that his Chaos Energy and restorative pills could help him bear the talents’ heavy energy costs.
• Xiao Tianyang fired a signal flare to tell Sima Cuo that he was ready, and Sima Cuo immediately responded.
• Xiao Tianyang activated his talents, healing and restoring the troops and greatly increasing the Nine Dragon Imperial Guards’ combat power.

Xiao Tianyang and Chaos Fire destroyed the Void Faction’s barrier and captured its Abyss Vessel, prompting Heavenly Dao to seize the Void forces. Xiao Tianyang then learned that Heavenly Dao’s punishment could keep the Nine Dragon Imperial Guards on the Abyss Battlefield, putting his return to the Underground City Plane within two months at risk.

• Chaos Fire burned the slime creature that controlled the Abyss Vessel, causing its barrier to fail.

• Xiao Tianyang realized he needed to return within two months to keep the Underground City Plane plan from failing.

Xiao Tianyang and Sima Cuo planned a month-long campaign to destroy three Abyss Legion gathering sites while meeting Heaven's Will's military merit target. After the Nine Dragon Imperial Guards reached a Combat Insectoid base, Xiao Tianyang split off to confront the Sacrificial Warriors who had tracked him down again.

• Sima Cuo explained that destroying an Abyss Hole would earn a quarter of Heaven's Will's target, but repeated attacks could attract the Abyss, so Xiao Tianyang set a one-month plan to take three sites and hunt in the wild.
• The Nine Dragon Imperial Guards recovered overnight, broke camp, and advanced under Sima Cuo's plan.
• Xiao Tianyang, Chaos Fire, and Sima Cuo found a Combat Insectoid gathering site, whose leader's death would leave its soldiers without the will to fight.
• Xiao Tianyang assigned Sima Cuo to lead the assault and Chaos Fire to hunt the insectoid leader, while he set out to deal with the pursuing Sacrificial Warriors.

Xiao Tianyang traveled away from the battlefield with Void while exploring the newly transformed [Eye of Heaven] and his updated status panel. The chapter detailed his five new Combat Talents and left him prepared to face the Sacrificial Warriors with greatly increased strength.
