Chapter Summaries

Fang Chen and the others continued cultivating in the Demon Sealing Land while the Barbaric Continent grew stronger, and Yue Canglan became a Great Emperor. Three years later, the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm broke through, and Fang Chen prepared to let it leave the Core Space to undergo Tribulation Transcendence.

• The Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm asked Fang Chen how it would return after its tribulation.

Fang Chen forced the Swallowing Heaven Tower through the Barrier around the Core Space, creating a passage that let people travel between the Demon-Sealing Space and the outside. After opening passages through the remaining Barriers, he sent Little Grass’s roots into the Core Space to absorb its Demonic Qi.

• Fang Chen used the Floating Immortal Sword and the Swallowing Heaven Tower to widen a crack in the Core Space Barrier, with Ye Qingci and the Myna bird helping push the tower through.
