Chapter Summaries

Luo Zheng passed the Talent Monument’s three tests, then agreed to face an unprecedented Ultimate Test offered by the Tower of Sin’s Artifact Spirit. The test began by summoning the Undead Mark of a Divine Sea Realm expert, whom Luo Zheng was told to defeat.

• Luo Zheng realized the Talent Monument had tested his comprehension of laws, physical talent, and soul, but the door remained closed.
• The Tower of Sin’s Artifact Spirit appeared, introduced itself as a million-year-old member of the Heaven Soul Race, and said Luo Zheng had surpassed the limits of the three tests.
• The Artifact Spirit offered Luo Zheng a never-before-activated test with greater benefits, and Luo Zheng agreed.
• Luo Zheng asked about the tower’s Master and learned that the Master belonged to the powerful Heavenly Rank Race.
• The Ultimate Test began as Luo Zheng was surrounded by wondrous patterns and confronted by an Undead Mark of a being who had been roughly as strong as a Divine Sea Realm expert.

Luo Zheng faced a Divine Sea Realm Daoist in the Talent Monument’s Ultimate Test and broke through his rigid swordplay to create No Form, defeating the first opponent. Outside the monument, the test continued past its usual length, worrying Xia Shuang while Lord Jing noticed more Devil Race members gathering on the Tenth Layer.

• The Artifact Spirit explained that the Divine Sea Realm Undead Marks would suppress their cultivation to Luo Zheng’s level, and Luo Zheng began fighting the Daoist with his sword.
• The Daoist effortlessly blocked Luo Zheng’s Basic Swordplay, leading Luo Zheng to realize that his simplified sword techniques had become too rigid.

• Another image descended as the trial continued, while people outside worried over Luo Zheng’s unusually long test and Lord Jing observed more Devil Race members arriving on the Tenth Layer.

The Devil Race decided to kill Luo Zheng despite the Tower of Sin’s safe-zone rules, fearing his talent would threaten them. Zhao Fenqin and Zhou Zhuhe challenged Meng Chong’s plan, and the chapter ended as a powerful Demon Night Clan figure arrived and drew Meng Chong’s wary attention.

• Meng Chong arrived on the Tenth Layer and declared that the Devil Race would kill Luo Zheng after he left the Talent Monument.

• Meng Chong claimed the Devil Race could abolish safe-zone rules, but he grew wary when a tall figure arrived and suggested the Demon Night Clan might intervene.

Bai Huan refused to let the Demon Night Clan protect the human race but insisted the Devil Race pay a price for breaking the Tower of Sin’s rules, and the dispute ended with Yue Shou challenging Luo Zheng in the Martial Arts Arena. Unaware of the agreement, Luo Zheng reached the final Ultimate Test and began fighting the Tower of Sin’s Heavenly Rank Race master, hoping to improve his strength.

• Bai Huan declined to interfere on the human race’s behalf, then demanded compensation from Meng Chong for the Devil Race’s planned violation of the Tower of Sin’s rules.

• The final Undead Mark appeared as a perfect-looking man from the Heavenly Rank Race, and Luo Zheng learned that the man had been the Tower of Sin’s master.
• Luo Zheng and the man fought with their physical bodies; Luo Zheng’s Dragon Scale Power gradually gave him the advantage, while the man’s blood proved golden.
• The man formed a Gang Essence vortex, and Luo Zheng activated the Star Battle Body to test its power against him.

Luo Zheng used the Star Battle Body’s first technique to defeat the Tower of Sin’s master’s Undead Mark and pass the Ultimate Test. The Artifact Spirit granted him limited authority over the tower, including the ability to move through it freely and expel its inhabitants.

• Luo Zheng gathered star power through the Star Battle Body, and the Undead Mark recognized it as the supreme divine martial art of the Star Celestial Lord.
• The Undead Mark attacked with Heavenly Rank Devour, and Luo Zheng countered with Starfall Earthshake.

• The Artifact Spirit explained that Luo Zheng could move freely through the tower and expel any living being from it.

Luo Zheng passed the Talent Monument’s Ultimate Test and gained authority over the Tower of Sin. When he emerged, his name appeared in enormous golden letters at the top of the rankings as “Heavenly Rank,” leaving the gathered races stunned.

• Luo Zheng came out of the Talent Monument, walked to Xia Shuang, and stared in surprise at his oversized name on the wall.

• Luo Zheng repeatedly blocked Yue Shou’s attacks, frustrating and humiliating him before the watching Battle Generals.
• Yue Shou poured his vital blood energy into Blood Devour, making his aura more than ten times stronger.

Luo Zheng decisively blocked Yue Shou’s strongest slash and defeated him, demonstrating his overwhelming strength to the Tenth Layer. Meng Chong then challenged Luo Zheng himself, despite the Tower of Sin’s rule against upper-layer fighters entering a lower layer’s arena.

• Mu Qingyang and Luo Zheng used Space Law to evade and attack each other at high speed, then exchanged several sword strikes.
• Luo Zheng gained an opening in their sword clash, putting Mu Qingyang at a disadvantage against his No Form.

Luo Zheng fought Mu Qingyang, who used her Three Yuan Shadows and deadly claws to nearly injure him before his Sword Spirit Demon Night intervened. Demon Night was revealed as the Demon Night Clan’s king, and after she spoke, Luo Zheng was left stunned and asked who she was.

• Mu Qingyang used Three Yuan Shadows to evade Luo Zheng’s attacks and attack him from different corners of the arena.

• Lord Mei, Bai Huan, and other Demon Night Clan members knelt before Demon Night, whom they addressed as their king.
• Demon Night spoke and confirmed her identity, leaving Luo Zheng shocked by his Sword Spirit’s apparent independent will.

Luo Zheng learned that his sword spirit was Xun, the Demon Night Race’s Wang, and she ordered Lord Mei and Bai Huan to take her to Heaven Feather Saint Land. When Meng Chong tried to stop them from taking Luo Zheng, the two Seat Controllers attacked and wounded him, leaving the Devil Race and Demon Night Race on the verge of conflict.

• Luo Zheng questioned his sword spirit, who revealed that her name was Xun and asked him to take her to the Demon Night Race’s saint land.

The Devil Race revealed two Battle Saints who could enter the Tower of Sin, shifting the balance of power, and Luo Zheng ended their triumphant laughter with a defiant shout.

• Luo Zheng injured Meng Tian with a starlit punch, and Bai Huan, Lord Mei, Xun, Zhao Fenqin, and Zhou Zhuhe gathered to defend him as Meng Chong arrived with more than sixty Devil Race Battle Venerables.
• Ling Yan arrived with Demon Night Clan reinforcements, knelt before Xun, and warned Meng Tian that her clan would not yield; Meng Tian offered five seats in exchange for Luo Zheng’s death.

• Sky Dome and Tian Hui appeared as Battle Saints, stunning Ling Yan and the others and revealing the Devil Race’s hidden advantage in the Tower of Sin.
• Luo Zheng called the Devil Race members pig-shaped bastards and dismissed their Battle Saint status, silencing their laughter.

• Sky Dome and Tian Hui dismissed Luo Zheng’s threats, while Ling Yan warned them that the Heaven Feather Saint Land would retaliate if they harmed him.
• Sky Dome Old Ancestor and Sky Brilliance Old Ancestor prepared to attack, but Luo Zheng declared that they would die and ordered them out of the Tower of Sin.
• The Tower of Sin split open a wall and used invisible hands to seize the two Devil Race Battle Saints, overpowering their Gang Yuan and dragging them outside.
• The invisible hands hauled Sky Dome Old Ancestor and Sky Brilliance Old Ancestor through the earth to the surface, where the curse began to mark their bodies.
• Sky Dome and Tian Hui charged toward the tower entrance in a desperate attempt to escape the curse.

• Sky Hui and Sky Dome smashed through the Tower of Sin’s gate and entered its first layer, alarming the Battle Warriors there.

Along the way, Xun explained that the Yun Luo Luo Zheng had met in different worlds were incarnations of one person, and the group arrived before Flowing Feathers, the Saint Land’s leader.

Xun arrived at the Heaven Feather Saint Land, where the Demon Night Race welcomed her as their queen and drained most of the Saint Tree’s Life Force to restore her. She entered the palace to view the three King Statues, then ordered everyone but Luo Zheng to leave, preparing to speak with him privately.

• Liu Yu and more than a hundred thousand Demon Night Race members knelt as Xun arrived, and the Saint Tree channeled its Life Force into her.
• Mu Qingyang explained that the Saint Tree was giving up ninety percent of its Life Force to help Xun recover from her injuries and weak soul.

• Liu Yu led Xun, Luo Zheng, and the others into the palace, where Mu Qingyang identified the statues of the queens who commanded life, punishment, and slaughter.
• Xun stopped before her dim red statue and ordered everyone to leave the palace except Luo Zheng.

Xun confronted the King of Punishment through the Azure Statue and revealed her bitter rivalry with her. After destroying the statue, Xun asked Luo Zheng to help her, saying that although he was too weak now, he would eventually return to his rightful position as the key piece in their struggle.

• Xun activated the Azure Statue and traded insults with the King of Punishment, who revealed that she had destroyed Xun’s Slaughter True Body.
• The King of Punishment recognized Luo Zheng as someone bearing the fate of the Great Era Contending Fate and attacked him with her Meteor Hammer.

• Xun told Luo Zheng that he would eventually return to his rightful position as the most important chess piece.
