Chapter Summaries

Wang Sheng and Lou Yuheng’s group reached Medicine Valley during the Mysterious Bird Great Calamity, where a Mountain Searching Soldier and an Earth Element Abnormal Ghost trapped them. As Wang Sheng tried to devour the ghost, a second sun appeared, a mysterious power dispersed the calamity and giant ghosts, and a voice announced that the Night Dragon Realm was collapsing and its people would be led away.

• Wang Sheng rejected Lou Yuheng’s pleas to flee the approaching calamity and rushed into Medicine Valley to find herbs for Foundation Establishment.
• A Mountain Searching Soldier emerged, and an Earth Element Abnormal Ghost began filling the Round-faced Woman and another disciple with black mud.
• Wang Sheng offered to hold the ghost back, recalled his master’s sacrifice and his promise to preserve their sect, then began attempting to devour the ghost.
• A white pillar rose from Tianbao City and dispersed the Mysterious Bird Great Calamity as a second sun appeared in the sky.
• Giant Otherworldly Ghosts gathered around the second sun, but a silver streak shattered them, and a voice announced the realm’s collapse and ordered mortals, rogue cultivators, and the Holy Temple to be guided away in that order.

Luo Hong explained to the Night Dragon Realm’s surviving Nascent Soul cultivators that he had rescued them to recruit them as Supreme Yang Spell Cultivators for a coming war, not to send them directly to the Spirit World. He revealed that they would cultivate in the far richer Guanghan Realm, leaving them with an unexpected opportunity as their dying realm faced imminent collapse.

• Luo Hong examined the Night Dragon Realm’s failing barrier and explained that invading Time Laws had driven its Heavenly Dao into an irreversible death spiral.
• Jia Jiu brought the surviving Night Dragon Realm Nascent Soul cultivators to the Supreme Yang Hall, where Yang Mu reassured them while they waited three days for Luo Hong.
• Luo Hong introduced himself as Heavenly Venerate Luo and explained that he was gathering lower-realm cultivators to build a force against the Spirit World’s powerful races.
• Luo Hong said the Night Dragon cultivators’ ability to perceive the Supreme Yang True Spirit showed their talent for comprehending laws, and he revealed that they would help operate the Supreme Yang Star Fortress.
• Luo Hong told the cultivators that the Spirit World would face an invasion in about three hundred years and that they would instead cultivate in the Guanghan Realm, whose Spiritual Qi was denser than the Spirit World’s.

Luo Hong ordered the Night Dragon Realm’s leaders to test its mortals for aptitude and evacuate its Human Race population so he could recruit enough Supreme Yang Spell Cultivators. He showed them the Supreme Yang Star Fortress, then sent them to begin evacuating four hundred million people within three months.

• Luo Hong warned Yang Mu and the others to keep the Guanghan Realm secret and accept his restriction before entering it, and they agreed.
• Luo Hong gave the leaders formation plates and talismans to test every mortal under thirty during the evacuation, explaining that mortals could develop Acquired Spiritual Roots.
• Luo Hong showed Yang Mu and the others the immense Supreme Yang Star Fortress and explained that he needed millions of Supreme Yang Spell Cultivators to operate it.
• Luo Hong ordered the evacuation of all four hundred million members of the Human Race in the Night Dragon Realm within three months, and the leaders accepted the order.
• Luo Hong explained to Silver Fairy that he would screen the recruits again in the Guanghan Realm, limiting their number to twenty million to avoid resource shortages.

As the Night Dragon Realm entered its final collapse, Luo Hong evacuated its survivors and accepted Yang Mu, Wang Sheng, and the four Xuanyuan Sect cultivators as registered disciples. He refined the realm’s Supreme Yang power into the Supreme Yang Star Fortress, then summoned his Demonic Path Incarnation and predicted that the realm’s destruction would offer it a chance to grow stronger.

• Yang Mu evacuated Tianbao City and reached the Supreme Yang Star Fortress, where Luo Hong told him the Night Dragon Realm could not be saved and accepted him as a registered disciple.
• Luo Hong introduced Yang Mu to Wang Sheng and the four Xuanyuan Sect survivors, who set aside their past conflicts and joined their senior brother to observe the realm’s destruction.
• As the Night Dragon Realm’s realm wall split apart, Luo Hong brought the fortress near its sun and used a grand array to draw the realm’s Supreme Yang power into it.
• The fortress’s golden radiance healed the mortals inside, and they praised Luo Hong; after forty-nine days, he sealed the captured power and moved the fortress away from the collapsing realm.
• Luo Hong summoned his Demonic Path Incarnation and predicted that the collision of laws during the realm’s destruction would give it an opportunity to strengthen its cultivation.

Luo Hong studied the Ancestral Demonic Qi left by the destruction of the Night Dragon Realm and helped his Demonic Path Incarnation refine it. After returning to the Spirit World, he learned that Mo Jianli and Ao Xiao had come to demand that he step down as Spirit Emperor because an unprecedented demonic tribulation threatened the Human and Monster Races.

• Luo Hong trapped the Ancestral Demonic Qi and sent a strand to the Demonic Path Incarnation, who risked his life refining it and broke through to Mid-stage Void Refinement.
• Luo Hong gave the Demonic Path Incarnation half the captured Ancestral Demonic Qi to study before returning to the Spirit World.
• Mo Jianli and Ao Xiao visited Yu Ruoxi and said Luo Hong must relinquish the Spirit Emperor position, while Zhou Mei asked to take important cultivators from the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
• Ao Xiao pressured pregnant Yu Ruoxi with his aura, but Luo Hong returned and escorted her away before confronting the visitors.
• Mo Jianli explained that his injury came from investigating the Demon Realm and warned Luo Hong that the coming demonic tribulation could drive the Human and Monster Races to extinction.

Luo Hong refused to relinquish the Spirit Emperor position after Mo Jianli warned that Tianling City would be the demons’ main target in the coming tribulation. He revealed that he had secured Jiang’s help and insisted the city could be defended, prompting Ao Xiao to reconsider their war plans.

• Mo Jianli warned Luo Hong that ancient duty required the Spirit Emperor to defend Tianling City, where the demons’ first passage into the Spirit World was expected to appear.
• Mo Jianli asked Luo Hong to transfer the Spirit Emperor position to Zhou Mei, but she declared that she was willing to defend Tianling City to the death.
• Luo Hong refused to give up the position and said Tianling City could still be defended.
• Luo Hong told Mo Jianli and Ao Xiao that Jiang had agreed to help in the demonic tribulation in exchange for Luo Hong refining a treasure.
• Zhou Mei thanked Luo Hong for his efforts to protect the Human and Monster Races, and Ao Xiao began revising their plans to reinforce Tianling City.

Three hundred years after Luo Hong entered seclusion to prepare for the demonic tribulation, the Human Race had transformed its territories and military defenses while the Supreme Yang Realm flourished. When Yang Mu returned with news that Demonic Spots had appeared across the Human and Monster Races, Luo Hong declared that he would leave seclusion and travel to the Demon Realm to pursue a breakthrough to Grand Ascension.

• Luo Hong accepted responsibility for defending Tianling City but left the early preparations to Zhou Mei while he focused on refining treasures and cultivating.
• Over the next three hundred years, the Human Race built fortified cities, trained mortal Body Refiners, and welcomed many people into the expanding Supreme Yang Realm.
• Luzhu taught newly formed Supreme Yang Spell Cultivators while Yang Mu returned from an errand and gave her a Spirit Summoning Cat.
• Yang Mu brought Luo Hong records showing gray Demonic Spots spreading across the skies of the Human and Monster Races.
• Luo Hong identified the spots as signs that the two realms were about to connect and announced that he would leave seclusion to travel to the Demon Realm for a Grand Ascension breakthrough.

Luo Hong prepared his forces and traveled to Tianling City, where he ordered the largest demonic spot to be stabilized so its Two Realms Passage would form ahead of the others. His decision alarmed Zhou Mei and the city’s officials, and the chapter ended with Luo Hong demanding that the formation be completed within three months.

• Luo Hong ordered Yang Mu to bring the Tianxing Legion into the Supreme Yang Star Fortress for training, then sent Luzhu to the Guanghan Realm with a Storage Bracelet for Ice Phoenix.
• Luo Hong told Silver Fairy that he needed the Demon Realm’s Spirit Washing Pool to obtain enough Immortal Spiritual Qi for his Grand Ascension breakthrough, and they set out for Tianling City.
• Luo Hong arrived at Tianling City, where Zhou Mei and Elder Chen reported that the city faced more than a hundred demonic spots, far more than the other Imperial Cities.
• Luo Hong inspected the largest demonic spot and ordered the disruption formation there stopped and a stabilization formation installed to hasten the opening of a Two Realms Passage.
• Zhou Mei and Elder Chen realized Luo Hong’s order would bring the Human-Demon War forward, but Luo Hong insisted they obey and demanded that the new formation be completed within three months.

The demons launched the Sacred Sacrifice invasion through the Demonic Spot near Tanggu Great Camp, while Bloodlight Holy Ancestor and Poison Dragon Holy Ancestor agreed to let Yuan Cha send an incarnation into the Spirit World after their forces captured Tianling City. Yuan Cha claimed she wanted revenge on a newly ascended junior, but the two Holy Ancestors suspected she had another purpose.

• Two years after Tianling City’s decision to begin the war early, Fu Lie met Meng Man and learned that the Tanggu Demonic Spot would open in just over a month.
• Fu Lie and Meng Man wagered that their clans would kill more Human Race Cultivators during the first seven days of the invasion, with the loser surrendering thirty percent of their gains.
• A month later, Bloodlight Holy Ancestor activated the altar at Tanggu Great Camp, empowered the demons with blood qi, and sent the vanguard through the Demonic Spot as the Human-Demon War began.
• Yuan Cha asked Bloodlight and Poison Dragon Holy Ancestor for permission to send an incarnation into the Spirit World, offering them a Blood Dragon Stone in return.
• Yuan Cha said she wanted to settle accounts with a junior who had destroyed her Mortal World incarnation, and Bloodlight and Poison Dragon agreed to let her incarnation pass after their army took Tianling City.

Luo Hong arrived at the Demon Spot front as the Demon Race army overwhelmed the Human Race defenses, then ordered the defenders to withdraw. When Fu Lie pursued them with his Blood Bat demonic corpses, Luo Hong’s hidden attack appeared ahead and caught the pursuers by surprise.

• Yuan Cha agreed to wait another month before acting, but she and the other Holy Ancestors sensed a strange aura and prepared to attack.
• The Demon Race unleashed a massive beast army against the wall, and the defenders discovered that the beasts healed rapidly while their corpses fused into Blood-Talisman Demonic Corpses.
• Luo Hong and Zhou Mei arrived, and Luo Hong ordered the defenders to withdraw after learning where the Demon Race Venerables and demon humans were gathered.
• The Human Race forces escaped toward Tianling City behind a barrier, and Fu Lie led hundreds of thousands of Bat-winged Demonic Corpses in pursuit.
• A Silver Light Sphere appeared before Fu Lie’s pursuing army and burst into blinding Crimson Gold Spirit Light, prompting him to order a retreat too late.

Luo Hong unleashed the Rising Sun Star Annihilation Great Formation, annihilating the Demon Race army and Tanggu Great Camp before leading the Human Race into the Demon Realm. He then went to confront the injured Holy Ancestors Xue Guang, Poison Dragon, and Yuan Cha, recognizing Yuan Cha from Kunwu Mountain and suspecting she knew Meng Yi’s whereabouts.

• Luo Hong activated the Rising Sun Star Annihilation Great Formation, and its platinum Light Pillar wiped out the invading demonic beasts and destroyed Tanggu Great Camp.
• Zhou Mei led the Human Race fleet through the Two Realms Passage into the Demon Realm after Luo Hong ordered them to purge the survivors.
• Yang Mu reported that fifteen percent of the Supreme Yang Star Fortress’s formations had burned out and could be repaired within seven days.
• Luo Hong left Yang Mu to organize repairs and flew toward three Demon Race Holy Ancestors gathered on a rocky island in a sea of lava.
• Luo Hong recognized Yuan Cha from Kunwu Mountain and confronted her alongside Xue Guang and Poison Dragon, hoping to learn Meng Yi’s whereabouts.

Luo Hong confronted the injured Demon Race Holy Ancestors at Tanggu Great Camp and forced Xue Guang to fight. Xue Guang revealed two Profound Heaven Remnant Treasures, and Luo Hong prepared to take them from him.

• Luo Hong recognized Poison Dragon, Yuan Cha, and Xue Guang, then taunted them about their injuries and Yuan Cha's attempt to abduct his disciple.
• Yuan Cha and Poison Dragon shifted the blame for the defeat at Tanggu Great Camp onto Xue Guang, who was forced to answer Luo Hong's attack.
• Luo Hong sent his Seventy-two Divine Edge Shadowless Swords at Xue Guang, who used the Small Purple Cauldron to try to absorb them.
• The swords escaped the cauldron's pull and cut Xue Guang into pieces, but his demonic body quickly re-formed while the swords burned away the blood staining them.
• Xue Guang brought out the Colorful Light Pagoda, and Luo Hong recognized it as another Profound Heaven Remnant Treasure he intended to seize.

Luo Hong overwhelmed Xue Guang with his control of Space Law, thunder, and sword techniques, then exploited Xue Guang’s primordial-spirit weakness to kill him. Poison Dragon’s attempt to intervene failed, and Luo Hong ended the chapter facing him while collecting Xue Guang’s treasures.

• Xue Guang attacked Luo Hong with the Blood Sea and Colorful Light Pagoda, but Luo Hong blocked the blood and seized the pagoda with his Silver Giant Claw.
• Luo Hong suppressed the pagoda’s Space Law with Golden Runes, took the treasure, and countered Xue Guang’s attacks with Purple Heaven Divine Thunder and Heavenly Wolf Divine Fire.
• Luo Hong trapped Xue Guang, struck his primordial spirit, destroyed his demonic python, and battered him with death-qi-infused punches until Xue Guang called for help.
• Poison Dragon tried to rescue Xue Guang with his Universe Plate, but Luo Hong redirected its Universe Power and shattered the plate.
• Luo Hong killed Xue Guang before Poison Dragon could reach him, took Xue Guang’s storage treasure and Purple Spoken Cauldron, and turned to face Poison Dragon.

Luo Hong faced Yuan Cha and Poison Dragon together, broke free of Yuan Cha’s binding treasure, and unleashed greatly enhanced Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder after drinking Spirit Wine. He then struck back at both Holy Ancestors and ended the chapter with a powerful slash at Poison Dragon’s neck.

• Yuan Cha bound Luo Hong with white silk while Poison Dragon attacked him with dragon claws, stone hands, and poison flame, but Luo Hong’s Mitian Bell protected him.
• Luo Hong burned away the white silk, drank a jar of Spirit Wine, and released Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder that shattered the stone hands and injured Poison Dragon.
• Luo Hong charged Yuan Cha, broke her crystalline light screen and Black Ancient Mirror with the Sky Breaking Spear, and caused her to suffer backlash.
• Poison Dragon blasted Luo Hong with a Dark Green Light Pillar, but Luo Hong endured it, tore it apart, and rushed toward the dragon.
• Luo Hong slashed Poison Dragon’s neck with a thousand-zhang silver blade light from the Sky Breaking Spear, and Poison Dragon recognized the weapon as a Profound Heaven Spiritual Treasure.

Luo Hong defeated Yuan Cha after she summoned Stone Demon Elders and used her demonic wolf to resist his attacks. He captured her Nascent Soul and secured it in a sealed gourd, while Six Extremes was left unable to intervene.

• Poison Dragon died, and Yuan Cha recognized Luo Hong’s Sky Breaking Spear as his trump card.
• Two Stone Demon Elders shielded Yuan Cha from Luo Hong’s spear, but he destroyed them with the Snow White Giant Bell.
• Yuan Cha summoned a black demonic wolf and tried to escape, but Luo Hong used his Golden Divine Eye and Red Luo Immortal Wine to keep pursuing her.
• Yuan Cha summoned Six Extremes through a Golden Orb, but Luo Hong disrupted the Golden Halo with Space Law and stopped Six Extremes from reaching her.
• Luo Hong bound Yuan Cha with the White Dragon Fiend Spirit and shattered her body with the Snow White Giant Bell.
• Luo Hong trapped Yuan Cha’s Nascent Soul in an illusion, drew it into a gourd, and sealed the gourd with talismans and Crimson Gold Spirit Flame.

Luo Hong ended the campaign by killing Poison Dragon, capturing his Primordial Spirit, and returning to Tianling City with the army. As the city celebrated his victory, he sensed Senior Baohua had arrived.

• Luo Hong ordered the Tianling army to withdraw and sent Poison Dragon's Primordial Spirit to the Demon Feeding Tower for interrogation.
• Luo Hong delivered Poison Dragon's severed head to the gathered fleet and announced that he had slain a Demon Race Holy Ancestor.
• The Tianling army returned victorious while Six Extremes learned of the loss and ordered preparations to mobilize against Luo Hong.
• Tianling City celebrated its victory, and cultivators toasted Luo Hong as a future Heavenly Venerable.
• Luo Hong heard the celebrations, then addressed Senior Baohua, whom he sensed in the hall.

Luo Hong proved his strength to Baohua and secured her agreement to pursue an alliance between the Demon Race and the Human and Monster Races. After Mo Jianli and Ao Xiao arrived, Luo Hong explained that he wanted the races to unite against their true enemies, the Wood Race and its allies.

• Baohua agreed to cooperate with Luo Hong after witnessing his power, and Luo Hong offered her the promised Ancestral Demonic Qi.
• Baohua questioned where Luo Hong obtained the Ancestral Demonic Qi, and he said he found it beyond the realm.
• Luo Hong and Baohua tested their spiritual senses, and his Illusory World Star Pupil drew her into a memory of her childhood with Yuan Cha and another girl.
• Mo Jianli and Ao Xiao arrived, recognized Baohua as a Demon Race First Ancestor, and were shocked when Luo Hong said she was not their enemy.
• Luo Hong explained that he planned to ally the Human and Monster Races with the Demon Race against the Wood Race and other enemies.

Luo Hong persuaded Mo Jianli and Ao Xiao to consider an alliance with Baohua and the Demon Race against the Mother of Parasitic Insects, then explained how the Supreme Yang Star Fortress would control the Demon Race army’s passage through their territory. After Baohua departed, the alliance seemed likely to proceed, and Luo Hong examined his gifts and battle spoils, discovering a Seven Stars Spirit Jade that could help him create a Silver Moon Demonic Wolf illusion body.

• Luo Hong proposed that the Human and Monster Races ally with the Demon Race, and Mo Jianli and Ao Xiao listened as Baohua addressed their concerns about the plan.
• Luo Hong showed Mo Jianli and Ao Xiao how the Demon Race army would gather within the Supreme Yang Star Fortress’s range and use a Teleportation Array to pass beyond their territories.
• Ao Xiao and Mo Jianli asked for a month to consider the alliance, and Baohua left the hall with the Demon Crocodile.
• Luo Hong explained why the Mother of Parasitic Insects made an alliance beneficial, and Mo Jianli and Ao Xiao agreed the matter should proceed confidentially.
• Ao Xiao gave Luo Hong a Seven Stars Spirit Jade, which Luo Hong used to summon a Silver Moon Demonic Wolf illusion and recognized as a possible way to infiltrate the Demon Realm.
• Luo Hong examined his spoils, deciding to keep the Purple Spoken Cauldron for possible repair and to refine the Colorful Light Pagoda into the Netherworld Grotto-heaven.

Luo Hong explored the Demon Suppressing Lock, negotiated with the sealed demons Cheqi Gong and Feng Xie, and secretly marked them while agreeing to share its Chaos Two Qi. After preparing to advance in the Demon Realm, he traveled to the Netherworld Grotto-heaven and confronted Yuan Cha about Black Demon Peak.

• Luo Hong identified the Demon Suppressing Lock and used a Spiritual Sense Incarnation to reach Cheqi Gong and Feng Xie inside its restrictions.
• Luo Hong told the two demons he had seized the treasure from Xue Guang, learned how to extract the Chaos Two Qi, and secretly placed golden runes on their palms during their oath.
• Cheqi Gong and Feng Xie planned to defeat Luo Hong and escape, unaware that he had marked them and intended to make them serve him.
• Luo Hong explained his plan to Silver Fairy, sorted the spoils from Xue Guang, Yuan Cha, and Poison Dragon, and stored Poison Dragon's remains for later use.
• Luo Hong entered the Netherworld Grotto-heaven, released Yuan Cha's demonic nascent soul into a formation, and asked her about Black Demon Peak.

Luo Hong captured Yuan Cha, learned that Six Extremes had acted against his disciple, and turned Yuan Cha’s attempt to escape into a way to refine the True Spirit snake bones. More than twenty days later, Six Extremes questioned Fairy Yu about her survival and demanded the Teleportation Token she had used to flee.

• Luo Hong bound Yuan Cha and learned that Six Extremes had helped capture his disciple, then imprisoned Yuan Cha in the Netherworld Grotto-heaven.
• Yuan Cha tried to break the formation with her Law True Essence, but the True Spirit snake bones drained her magic power and forced her to refine them with Top-grade Spirit Stones supplied by Luo Hong.
• Luo Hong left for the Yellow Springs Earth Fire Pool with Silver Fairy after realizing Yuan Cha had become an unwilling helper.
• More than twenty days later, demons rebuilt a camp at the former Tanggu Great Camp while Black Wind and Wu Xin discussed rumors about the fallen sun.
• Six Extremes questioned Fairy Yu about how she survived the destruction of the camp, learned she had escaped with a Teleportation Token from Ming Luo, and demanded that she hand it over.
