Chapter Summaries

Fang Chen breached the layered Buddhist Barrier and discovered a vast host of Evil Creatures trapped beneath it. He learned that the meteorite’s impact had cracked the seal and the receding waters of the Boundless Buddhist Sea had eroded it until the creatures escaped.

• Fang Chen concealed his lingering Buddha Light with the Darkness Devouring God Domain and broke through thirty-nine layers of Barrier to enter the sealed space.
• Fang Chen used the Reincarnation Eye Secret Technique to see through the dense gray mist, then joined the others in Spirit Crane Space as Little Crane carried them deeper inside.
• Fang Chen and his companions found countless Evil Creatures gathered above a lake of gray Mud, with creatures emerging from it and squeezing through cracks in the overhead Barrier.
• The Myna bird suggested the meteorite impact had damaged the Barrier, and the Three Burials Buddha Emperor explained that the Boundless Buddhist Sea’s waters had eroded the cracks until a breach formed.
• Fang Chen concluded the Evil Creatures had been sealed there by powerful Buddhist figures and felt relieved that they had not come from the meteorite.

Fang Chen tasked Myna bird, the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm, and the Three Burials Buddha Emperor with holding off the Evil Creatures while he planned to repair the Barrier. As the battle continued, the mud revived slain creatures, and Fang Chen discovered that the Three Burials Buddha Emperor was a skilled fighter who had mastered Buddha's Palm.

• Fang Chen said the Barrier's crack had to be repaired and left Myna bird, the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm, and the Three Burials Buddha Emperor to fight the Evil Creatures.

After killing the creatures in the meteorite crater, he went outside to hunt more and test the energy further.

• Fang Chen used the Darkness Devouring God Domain and the Chaos Demonic Star Vine to hold back Evil Creatures while he repaired the Barrier, leaving the Myna bird and the others inside to gain experience.

• Fang Chen flew outside the crater to find more Evil Creatures and attacked them with the Floating Immortal Sword inside his Darkness Devouring God Domain.

Fang Chen discovered that the Floating Immortal Sword devoured the mysterious energy in Evil Creatures and used it to restore his Life Wheel, then slaughtered every Evil Creature in the Cloud Barren Sand Sea. He brought Ye Kong and Ye Qingci into the sealed space, where they found the Myna bird, the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm, and the Three Burials Buddha Emperor still fighting the Evil Creatures.

• The myna bird told Master Three Burials that Ye Qingci was Fang Chen's dao companion.
• Ye Qingci used the Nirvana Immortal Eyes to attack two creatures' souls, but they recovered and charged her again.
• The myna bird explained that Soul Attacks were useless because the creatures had no Soul Origins and could revive even after their bodies were ground to dust.

Fang Chen used his sword and the Darkness Devouring God Domain to defeat the Evil Lifeforms, while the Floating Immortal Sword devoured five Quasi-Emperor Bloodline Evil Creatures. When the Myna bird asked why Fang Chen’s victims had not revived, he concealed the sword’s secret and claimed he had used Twilight Power.

• Ye Qingci and Ye Kong joined Fang Chen after failing to kill the Evil Lifeforms and warned that the creatures could threaten the Barbaric Continent.
• Fang Chen used Slaughter Heaven and Earth, Destroy All Beings, and Sword Domain to destroy weaker Evil Creatures and reduce the five Quasi-Emperor Bloodline Evil Creatures to powder, but they recovered.

• After the Floating Immortal Sword completely devoured the five creatures, Fang Chen told the Myna bird he had used Twilight Power to explain why his victims had not revived.

Fang Chen discovered that Twilight Power burned Evil Lifeforms to ash, but he chose to keep killing them with the Floating Immortal Sword so he could absorb their power and restore his Life Wheel. He and his companions descended into the Mud Pit, where a concentrated energy stirred bloodthirsty urges in them.

• Fang Chen infused his bonded Flying Sword with Twilight Power and found that it set Evil Creatures ablaze, destroying them without leaving white light.
• Fang Chen realized that using Twilight Power prevented him from absorbing the Evil Lifeforms' power through the Floating Immortal Sword, so he continued slaughtering them with the sword.
• Ye Qingci and Ye Kong noted that the Evil Lifeforms kept emerging from the Mud, and Ye Kong suggested exploring below it.

• Fang Chen found that the Floating Immortal Sword drew Life Wheel-restoring energy from the Mud, while the surrounding Mud's concentrated energy gave everyone a bloodthirsty urge.

Fang Chen and his companions endured the Mud Pit’s pressure and bloodlust-inducing energy as they descended, with most retreating into the Spirit Crane Space. Fang Chen discovered embryo-like Evil Lifeforms growing in bubbles, then stopped responding to messages from inside the Spirit Crane Space.

• Fang Chen and Ye Kong continued descending after Little Crane took the Three Burials Buddha Emperor, the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm, Ye Qingci, and the Myna bird into the Spirit Crane Space as the pressure overwhelmed them.
• Fang Chen activated the Glazed Golden Body Secret Method, while Ye Kong used his Xuanhuang Sacred Body and later his Kirin Sacred Body to withstand the pressure.
• Ye Kong eventually reached his limit and entered the Spirit Crane Space, but Fang Chen continued downward with Little Crane, drawn on by the Floating Immortal Sword’s hunger for the surrounding energy.
• Fang Chen found bubbles wrapped in gray tendrils, each holding an embryo-like Evil Lifeform, and the bubbles and creatures grew larger and stronger the deeper he went.
• The Myna bird could not reach Fang Chen through the Spirit Sword Talisman, so he asked Ye Qingci to try contacting him.

Fang Chen encountered a living membrane deep in the Mud World and was nearly drawn into a crimson space by its enormous red eyes. He escaped to the surface, where the roots withdrew and all the Evil Lifeforms and gray mist vanished into the Mud Pit.

• Ye Qingci and Little Crane discovered that the Spirit Sword Talisman could not contact Fang Chen inside the Mud World.
• Fang Chen reached a membrane covered in Dao Patterns, where roots seized him and his consciousness was pulled toward a pair of enormous red eyes.
• Fang Chen used Twilight Power and his sword techniques to break free of the roots and flee upward through the Mud World.
• Fang Chen escaped the Mud World and used his Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth and the Myriad Buddhas War Scripture to repel the pursuing roots.
• The roots withdrew, and every Evil Lifeform and the surrounding gray mist rushed into the Mud Pit, leaving Myna bird, Ye Kong, and the others bewildered.

Fang Chen escaped the Mud Pit after encountering terrifying red eyes beyond its membrane, then repaired the Barrier sealing the Evil Lifeforms inside. He left the Sealed Space with his companions and explained what he had seen, while the Mud Pit hardened and the threat remained contained.

• Fang Chen found the Mud Pit had solidified into rock and could no longer explore it.
• Fang Chen left the Sealed Space with Little Crane and found gray mist lingering in the Meteorite crater.

• Fang Chen told his companions that roots had caught him beneath the Mud Pit and his consciousness had encountered a pair of enormous red eyes.
• Fang Chen explained that he had repaired the Barrier and believed it would continue to contain the Evil Lifeforms and whatever the red eyes belonged to.

After the mysterious energy in the Mud Pit disabled everyone’s Spirit Sword Talismans, Fang Chen removed the energy from his companions and repaired and upgraded their talismans. He then used the Heaven Refining Furnace to devour the gray mist within the Heavenly Buddha Mirror’s range.

• Ye Kong withdrew into the Spirit Crane Space, leaving Fang Chen to descend alone to the bottom of the Mud Pit, where Fang Chen encountered enormous red eyes.
• Fang Chen discovered that mysterious energy had damaged the Formation Runes in everyone’s Spirit Sword Talismans and drew the energy out of his companions into the Floating Immortal Sword.

The group arrived, but none of them could find the inheritance on the stone walls.

• Fang Chen sealed the sticky gray mass, returned it to his body, and let the Three Burials Buddha Emperor recall the depleted Heavenly Buddha Mirror.

• Fang Chen explained the War Buddha's history, but he and the others found nothing on the stone walls.

While touring a forbidden ground, he and Ye Qingci uncovered the Heavenly Buddha Flower’s tracking art, and Fang Chen was drawn into a strange space filled with golden flowers.

• Fang Chen found the cave unchanged but its writings and War Buddha’s inheritance gone, then agreed to teach what he had learned.

• Fang Chen studied the Stone Flower with his Reincarnation Eye Secret Technique and entered a space where golden flowers covered the ground.

Fang Chen followed the falling golden petals to a temple, where he met the Heavenly Buddha, who claimed to be his senior brother and the War Buddha’s first disciple. The Heavenly Buddha welcomed him into a pavilion and explained that, as a Remnant Soul without a body, he could not eat the food laid out for Fang Chen.

• Fang Chen realized the golden petals formed an avenue in the order they fell and followed it toward the sound of a Wooden Fish.
• Fang Chen recited the Myriad Buddhas War Scripture, absorbed golden light, and flew along the avenue without the pressure slowing him.

The Heavenly Buddha Emperor told Fang Chen that the Demon Suppressing Abyss lay beneath Tianzhu City and warned him to guard its Seal against the Great Sun Buddha Emperor. He also learned that the Devil Race had grown stronger than the Human Race, though the Heavenly Buddha Emperor believed Fang Chen’s complete inheritance from the War Buddha would let him surpass the Qingtian Demon Emperor.
