Chapter Summaries

After being appointed honorary sect master of the Thousand Sun Sect, Lu Sheng hurried to Autumn Moon County to reunite with his family and Chen Yunxi. On the way, Shangyang Fei ambushed him on Vera Anser Sivescardi’s orders and attacked with a tremendous forest spell.

• Yuanzheng Shangren investigated Lu Sheng, then announced that Lu Sheng would become the Thousand Sun Sect’s guest elder and honorary sect master.
• Duanmu Wan settled the Lu Family and Yuan Devil Sect in Autumn Moon County, and Lu Hongying told Chen Yunxi that Lu Sheng would arrive in three days.

• Shangyang Fei revealed that Vera Anser Sivescardi had sent her to capture Lu Sheng because he had broken the Devil Abyss’s seal.
• Shangyang Fei invoked Vera Anser Sivescardi and summoned two enormous green hands that slammed together around Lu Sheng.

Shangyang Fei attacked Lu Sheng with the power of Devil Emperor Vera’s incarnation, but Lu Sheng evaded her trap and wounded the possessed body and its token. Vera and Shangyang Fei then fought back with overwhelming power, leaving Lu Sheng locked in a fierce midair battle with them.

• Shangyang Fei crushed Lu Sheng with giant hands and a barrage of green threads, believing she had killed him.
• Lu Sheng appeared behind Shangyang Fei, revealed he had dodged the attack, and heard Vera offer him a place among the devils.

• Vera used Shangyang Fei’s body to attack Lu Sheng with green lightning and black claws, while Lu Sheng fought back with the Xiu Ming Blade.
• Shangyang Fei unleashed Mystic Sound Nine Claws, but her body cracked under the power, and Lu Sheng charged at her with Azure Sky.

Lu Sheng survived Shangyang Fei’s explosive attack, then discovered that the Xiu Ming Blade had betrayed him and that a mysterious girl was haunting him. After consuming the girl and advancing the Eight-Headed Devil Extreme Path, he destroyed the blade with his teeth.

• Lu Sheng pierced Shangyang Fei, but she detonated a black sphere and badly wounded him; the Xiu Ming Blade held him in place and absorbed something during the blast.

• Lu Sheng used Deep Blue to advance the Eight-Headed Devil Extreme Path, drawing in Devil Emperor Devil Essence and God-Entrusting Power.
• Lu Sheng bit through the Xiu Ming Blade’s spine, deciding that a weapon that could betray him was worthless.

Lu Sheng destroyed and consumed most of the Xiu Ming Blade, gaining nearly five thousand units of God-Entrusting Power, then flew toward Autumn Moon County after deciding he might join the war against the Devil World.

After surviving Shangyang Fei’s self-destruction, Lu Sheng returned to the Thousand Sun Sect Dao Palace to recover and found himself with thousands of units of God-Entrusting Power. As he began cultivating, he realized Deep Blue’s true potential lay in using his knowledge and imagination to create a supreme art with nearly limitless possibilities.

• Lu Sheng recognized that Deep Blue could use conception, accumulated martial knowledge, and God-Entrusting Power to deduce a supreme art, and began imagining powers drawn from cosmic catastrophes.

Lu Sheng consolidated his cultivation into the Infinite Method and used Deep Blue to deduce its fifth rank, establishing a path beyond Holy Lord that required consuming Divine Weapon Devil Blades. The new Yang Essence merged his different energies, leaving him with a clear goal: gather weapons and knowledge for future advancement.

• Lu Sheng rejected an unrealistic deduction target and chose yin and yang as the Infinite Method’s broad foundation, incorporating his existing cultivation arts and breakthroughs.
• Lu Sheng used Deep Blue to deduce the Infinite Method’s fifth rank, spending thousands of units of God-Entrusting Power as the calculation proceeded.
• Deep Blue revealed the fifth rank, Gathering Essence, whose first level required Lu Sheng to devour Divine Weapon Devil Blades and whose mastery called for a water-attributed Gold Leaf-grade weapon.
• Lu Sheng merged his inner qi-liquid, true qi, and Devil Essence into Yang Essence, which could imitate and drive all three energy systems.
• Lu Sheng resolved to collect Divine Weapon Devil Blades and books to support his next deductions.

• Xiao Qing warned Lu Sheng against attacking the demon clans, and Lu Sheng ordered Old Shi to seize and punish her after she threatened him.
• Old Shi tore off Xiao Qing's scalp and later took her left eye before releasing her, while the Yin Yang Office suppressed her attempt to retaliate.

• At Golden Brilliance Mountain, Zheng Xian reported that most of the crops had ripened and that Lu Sheng had returned.
• A figure concealed in black mist told Zheng Xian that Devil World forces would seek an opportunity to surround and kill Lu Sheng.

Zheng Xian ordered the Black Deer Clan to hunt Wang Yuhui for an item that had led to the destruction of his family. As Wang Yuhui and Zhu Wenqiang fled, Lu Sheng’s Thousand Sun Sect attacked Deer King Valley to seize the clan’s Divine Weapon Xuan Wu, and the chapter ended as both sides charged into battle.

• Zheng Xian learned that the Wang Family’s item was missing and ordered his men to seal Autumn Moon County and capture Wang Yuhui.

Lu Sheng and his allies surrounded the pool to claim the ownerless Gold Leaf-grade Divine Weapon Xuan Wu, and Lu Sheng confronted the sleeping Green Dragon beneath the water. Xuan Wu rejected his offer and attacked, leaving Lu Sheng battling it with Crimson Gold True Qi and golden swords.

• Lu Sheng, Old Shi, and the King of Shadows surrounded the pool while Lu Sheng entered its freezing water.
• Lu Sheng found Xuan Wu, a one-eyed Green Dragon sleeping on the pool bottom, and recognized the Divine Weapon’s aura.
• Xuan Wu demanded sacrifices worth one thousand living beings each year, but Lu Sheng refused and offered it the choice of surrendering or contracting with him without sacrifices.
• Xuan Wu roared and lunged at Lu Sheng, who blocked its charge with a Crimson Gold True Qi formation diagram.
• Lu Sheng transformed the diagram into a golden sword and used the Sun Chasing Swordplay to fight Xuan Wu, then summoned a second sword when the first failed to subdue it.

Lu Sheng tested the Thousand Sun Sect’s offensive techniques against Xuan Wu but failed to overcome the Divine Weapon with them. He unleashed his Yang Extremity State and towered over Xuan Wu, leaving the battle poised for his next move.

• Xuan Wu revealed its sword body and spread Dark Mist, while Lu Sheng attacked with the Seven-Layer Qi Yang Array and the Three Stars Talisman Array.

• Back in Autumn Moon County, Lu Sheng pursued secluded study while the Lu Family enjoyed its elevated status, and Lu Tianyang was approached at the Peaceful Gambling House.

Lu Sheng discovered that his father, Lu Quan'an, had been poisoned in a plot involving Lu Tianyang and Xu Ye, and he cured him while realizing the Devil World had targeted his family. The Wei River Sword warned that someone within the Lu Family might have been manipulated into acting as the culprit, leaving Lu Sheng unsure whom he could trust.

• Xu Ye pressured Lu Tianyang into helping arrange a match between Xu Ye’s daughter and the Lu Family, using Lu Tianyang’s compromising secret as leverage.

• Lu Sheng returned to the Thousand Sun Sect’s Dao Palace and prepared to cultivate, but Chen Jingzhi stopped him with an urgent aid request from Liyang County.

Chen Jingzhi warned Lu Sheng that a Devil Disaster threatened Autumn Moon County, but Xiao Zizhu had sealed the Secret Realm and trapped him without reinforcements. Lu Sheng consumed the Cold Camel Divine Weapon to advance the Infinite Method, then his Yin Fire unexpectedly connected him to the Eight-Headed Eagle Lion Beast’s true will.

Lu Sheng emerged from seclusion after gaining a dangerous Eight-Headed Golden Flame and learned that devil forces were attacking across the region. He flew toward Red River Valley to join the battle, while Qiong Shang fought devil creatures among the shattered remnants of the Yangming Army.
