Chapter Summaries

Lu Sheng’s hunger drove him to devour the demons in the sealed cave as his body evolved, but the Modifier’s deduction demanded more energy than God-Entrusting Power could supply. He reached the next layer and faced Ancient Devil Serpent Leopard Monu, who confronted him for hunting its people.

Lu Sheng battled Snake Leopard in the Devil Abyss, escalating into a clash between giant forms that shook the seals and sent poisonous flames into the Shadow King's Altar. Meanwhile, Zhao Zhi hosted a gathering of sect leaders at the West Extremity Institute, where Liu Shanzi faced questions about Lu Sheng.

• Snake Leopard tried to recruit Lu Sheng, but Lu Sheng attacked, and they fought fiercely with their strength, techniques, and regeneration.
• Snake Leopard's Poison Shadow Thorn pierced Lu Sheng's Blood Web, prompting Lu Sheng to enlarge into his Yang Extremity State and unleash violet-black flames.

Zhao Zhi trapped the sect leaders and most of the West Extremity Institute inside the Blood Floating Pagoda formation as Devil Essence revealed a Devil King’s presence, while the demonic assault devastated Thousand Sails City. Huang Fu led the survivors toward Red Boiling Palace, and Lu Sheng suddenly changed form and swallowed Snake Leopard.

• Zhao Zhi used fireworks depicting the sects’ emergency distress talismans to lure the sect leaders together, then vanished as the Blood Floating Pagoda formation sealed the hall.

Shangyang Jinshi and two other Vice Wielders fought two demonic monsters in the sky, which fused into a Devil King Avatar and swallowed them in devil essence. In the Yuan Devil Sect underground, Lu Sheng devoured Snake Leopard, advanced his secret art, and discovered an unsettling crystal inside the ancient devil.

• Shangyang Jinshi and the Huang and Lei Families' Vice Wielders attacked two demonic monsters, which fused into a Devil King Avatar and dragged the three fighters into a cloud of devil essence.
• Lu Sheng transformed into his Destroyer form and swallowed Snake Leopard, gradually digesting the ancient devil despite his desperate struggles.
• Lu Sheng absorbed Snake Leopard's Devil Essence and advanced the Eight-Headed Devil Extreme Path to its fifth realm, gaining Infinite Proliferation.
• Lu Sheng vomited a pitch-black diamond-shaped crystal that had resisted digestion, and hundreds of pale-white eyes opened across its surface and stared at him.

Lu Sheng absorbed a Devil Essence crystal and realized he needed a decisive killing move, so he used the Modifier to transform the Seven Days Heaven-Swapping Saber into a devastating technique. The chapter ended with him surveying the cavern destroyed by Star Annihilation as the Devil Essence of its countless slain creatures gathered in his palm.

• Lu Sheng discovered that the crystal steadily released pure Devil Essence and identified it as the essence of the Ancient Devil Serpent Leopard.
• Lu Sheng resolved to create a killing move that could unleash the full power of his devil body.
• Lu Sheng chose the Seven Days Heaven-Swapping Saber and used a galactic explosion as the visualization for the Modifier's deduction.

• Lu Sheng gathered the Devil Essence left by the many devil creatures his slash had killed.

Shangyang Jinshi regrouped surviving Shangyang Family members outside Thousand Sails City and ordered a retreat after finding the Devil Light Tower nearly complete, while Shangyang Jiuli led an effort to rescue trapped clan members. Elsewhere, Lu Sheng grew into an eighteen-meter giant by killing and consuming Preachers, then confronted a giant crab-like devil.

• A giant crab-like devil attacked Lu Sheng and rescued the Preachers, but Lu Sheng tore off one of its pincers as it struck back.

Shangyang Jiuli and Lotus Fragrance Zi’s group found their escape routes sealed, leaving them surrounded by the ancient Devil King’s mist.

• Lotus Fragrance Zi ordered the group to retreat, but they found the hidden passages blocked by deep blue mist.
• Shangyang Jiuli recognized the mist as Su Li Clouds, and an elite Shangyang Family member asked why they could not simply charge through it.

Shangyang Jiuli’s group discovered that Bei Ni’s Su Li Clouds dissolved anyone who entered them, while Lu Sheng fought Kafei and was briefly distracted by Bei Ni’s rampage. Lu Sheng reached the Secret Arts Hall and tore Bei Ni apart, but the unleashed blue cloud qi spread across the area.

• Shangyang Qirong tested the Su Li Clouds with Emerald Green Bugs, entered the mist, and dissolved into a puddle despite Shangyang Jiuli’s efforts to save him.
• Shangyang Jiuli ordered the Shangyang Family and Lotus Fragrance Zi’s group to search for an escape route as Bei Ni destroyed the Yuan Devil Sect plaza.

Lu Sheng attacked the West Extremity Institute Master after Li Shunxi revealed his role in the plot against the Nineteen Sect Leaders, then battled Devil General Luo Ximu with devastating Divine Might. When Shangyang Jun warned that striking the barrier could open the Flesh and Blood Gate, Lu Sheng transformed into a colossal Yang Extremity State, leaving the allied witnesses stunned.

• Li Shunxi shouted that the West Extremity Institute Master had plotted to kill the Nineteen Sect Leaders, and Lu Sheng turned his attention toward him.

Lu Sheng considered the Yuan Devil Sect’s future, tested whether his Eight-Headed Devil Extreme Path could be passed on, and received several requests for special training. He rejected Zhan Hongsheng’s plea for his personal guidance, then agreed to train Li Shunxi’s group and Du Ye through mental dreamscapes.

• Lu Sheng advised Liu Shanzi that relocating would be safest during the Devil Disaster, but Liu Shanzi chose to stay for now and planned to pass him the sect master position.
