Chapter Summaries

Old Yao and Luo Tianhe arrived at Blood God City and saw the Blood God Clan’s massacre of tens of millions of its own people. Xue Yi and Xue Shou sensed the two Lower Earthly Sovereigns outside their defenses, but chose to remain protected inside the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Array and wait for their blood demons to evolve.

• Old Yao and Luo Tianhe emerged from the void and found Blood God City surrounded by a Blood Sea filled with the remains and vengeful souls of the slaughtered.

• Xue Yi agreed to stay inside the array, confident that its eighty-four thousand undying Blood Demon Beasts would protect them until they were ready to attack.

Luo Tianhe failed to damage the Blood God Clan’s Ten Thousand Blood Demon Array, and Old Yao stepped forward to face it. Old Yao summoned three ominous mid-grade Sacred Artifacts, leaving Luo Tianhe stunned by the contrast with his righteous appearance.

• Luo Tianhe unleashed his Luo River Divine Turtle Dharma Image against the Blood God Clan’s barrier, but the array absorbed his attack without a crack.

• Luo Tianhe gaped at the sinister artifacts, and Old Yao asked whether he thought they were too evil.

Old Yao used the Emperor Slaying Ghost Blood Array Disk to break the Blood God Clan’s formation, prompting Xue Yi to attack with his Blood Kasaya Dharma Image and Yellow Springs Blood Sea. Old Yao opened the Eight Divisions Heavenly Demon Coffin, and its eight Earthly Sovereign corpse puppets shattered Xue Yi’s attack, leaving him stunned.

• Old Yao told Luo Tianhe that power could be used for good or evil, then sent the Emperor Slaying Ghost Blood Array Disk’s blood sea against the Blood God Clan’s formation.

Old Yao rejected Xue Yi’s accusation that he served the Corpse Demon Clan and used the Emperor Slaying Ghost Blood Array Disk to devour Xue Yi’s Yellow Springs Blood Sea. Xue Yi then unleashed the Blood Demon Great Kasaya, trapping Old Yao and his Corpse Puppets as he vowed to claim Old Yao’s Sacred Artifact and conquer the Lesser Western Heaven Realm.

• Xue Shou recognized Old Yao’s eight Corpse Puppets and suspected he belonged to the Floating Pagoda Ancient Clan, while Old Yao reflected on forging his own path beyond the ancient sages.
• Old Yao activated the Emperor Slaying Ghost Blood Array Disk and forcibly devoured more than half of Xue Yi’s Yellow Springs Blood Sea, wounding him through their life connection.
• Xue Yi refused Xue Shou’s advice to defend the array’s core and decided he had to seize Old Yao’s mid-grade Sacred Artifact to survive.

• Blood Demon Hun Tiandi and the Corpse Puppets tore through the Blood Demon Beasts, whose attacks could not harm their hardened bodies.

• Great Emperor Gu You and the Vengeful Souls devoured the Blood Demon Beasts’ scattered souls, while the Corpse Puppets grew stronger by consuming their blood and essence.
• The Blood Sea and Ten Thousand Blood Demon Array weakened, and Luo Tianhe watched in shock as Old Yao crushed the Blood God Clan’s defenses.

• Xue Shou attacked Old Yao, but Blood Demon Hun Tiandi broke his saber and defeated him with one punch.
• The Blood God Clan’s leaders begged for mercy, and Old Yao sent the Vengeful Souls after them to avenge the slaughtered innocents.

Xue Yi sacrificed himself to create an uncontrollable Blood God Beast, but Old Yao revealed his Medicine Master Glazed Buddha Dharma Image and began delivering the resentful souls. The chapter then shifted to Great Spirit Mountain on Xihe Continent, beside the Bitter Sea.

• Xue Yi burned his body, soul, and cultivation to ignite the Blood Sacrifice Great Array and summon the Blood God Beast.
• The remaining Blood Demon Beasts fused into a ten-thousand-zhang creature that reached the limit of the Upper Earthly Sovereign level.
• Luo Tianhe urged Old Yao to retreat and seek Buddhist masters, but Old Yao calmly said he could deliver the beast himself.
• Old Yao manifested the Medicine Master Glazed Buddha Dharma Image and recited scripture, calming the Blood Sea and transforming his sinister artifacts into Buddhist forms.
• The narration introduced Great Spirit Mountain on Xihe Continent, a Buddhist sacred land beside the demon-filled Bitter Sea.

Kuji Buddha sensed the Medicine Master Glazed Buddha Dharma Image in the Western Heaven Territory and announced that the Future Buddha had appeared. He refused to send a force to retrieve the Future Buddha, instead entrusting Shiluo with the chance to find him and earn his recognition.

• Kuji Buddha stopped sweeping when Old Yao's Medicine Master Glazed Buddha Dharma Image manifested near Blood God City, and his Buddhist aura spread across the Xihe Continent.
• Baoguang Bodhisattva, Longshu Bodhisattva, and other Buddhist leaders gathered before Kuji Buddha to ask what had happened.
• Kuji Buddha declared that the Future Buddha had appeared, prompting the monks to rejoice and praise the Buddhas.
• Baoguang Bodhisattva and the other monks asked to travel to the Western Heaven Territory to welcome the Future Buddha, but Kuji Buddha told them not to disturb his cultivation.

Old Yao purified the Blood God City’s vengeful souls, subdued the Blood God Beast, and ended the Blood God Clan’s uprising. As he prepared to leave, a monk from Great Spirit Mountain arrived and hailed him as the Future Buddha, leaving Old Yao bewildered.

• Old Yao used his Medicine Buddha Dharma Image to free the wronged souls, purify the Blood God Beast, and destroy the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Array.

• Luo Tianhe was shocked by Shiluo’s reverence and explained that Great Spirit Mountain was a powerful Buddhist holy land.
• Old Yao questioned Shiluo’s claim, noting that he had only recently arrived in the Great Thousand World and had no ties to the Buddhist sect.

Shiluo recognized Old Yao as the prophesied Future Buddha and pledged himself to him, while Xiao Yan and Lin Dong wondered how the prophecy related to the Immortal Emperor and Mu Chen. Old Yao accepted Shiluo’s devotion and began teaching him, ending by rejecting Shiluo’s idea of Buddha as a supreme being above all others.

• Shiluo recounted Great Spirit Mountain’s prophecy and declared that Old Yao was the Future Buddha Patriarch destined to deliver the Great Thousand World.
• Luo Tianhe realized his Grand Martial Uncle had been recognized as a figure of immense stature and felt overwhelmed by the clan’s good fortune.
• Xiao Yan and Lin Dong watched from concealment and questioned whether the Great Sun Undying Buddha was the Immortal Emperor and why the prophecy pointed to Old Yao instead of Mu Chen.
• Old Yao sensed Xiao Yan and Lin Dong watching, accepted Shiluo’s devotion without disputing his form of address, and asked him what Buddha was.
• Shiluo described Buddha as a compassionate, powerful being who protected living creatures and subdued evil demons, but Old Yao told him he was wrong and said Buddha was not a god above all living beings.

Old Yao taught Shiluo that Buddha and living beings were one, and that true compassion meant helping people directly, overturning Shiluo’s understanding of Buddhism. Shiluo emerged from a crisis of faith with his Great Sun Undying Body transformed by both demonic qi and Buddhist light.

• Old Yao explained that Buddhism meant aiding suffering beings and opposing evil, rather than withdrawing from the world or clinging to rules.
• Shiluo entered enlightenment, but his Great Sun Undying Body turned black as demonic qi erupted from it, alarming Luo Tianhe.
• Lin Dong prepared to intervene, but Xiao Yan stopped him, saying Shiluo had to break through his old beliefs himself.

The Western Heaven War Emperor traveled to the Exotic Fire Continent to seek an alliance with Xiao Yan and Lin Dong against the Evil Clan from Outside the Realm, which was reportedly preparing to open a Western Front. At the border, he met Luo Tianhe and Shiluo, whose connection to Great Spirit Mountain led him to suspect that the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor had powerful Buddhist allies.
