Chapter Summaries

Fang Xiao discovered that absorbing True Spirit Essence Blood had transformed his Taiyin Sun Dao Soldiers into peak Deity Transformation incarnations that could no longer be dispersed, and he began exploring their potential. He ended Zhong Wu Huo’s month of misfortune, then explained why he had given his lucky disciple the difficult Sea Calming Divine Art.

• Fang Xiao realized the Taiyin Sun Dao Soldiers had become incarnations with greater potential but could no longer be dispersed or easily restored.
• Fang Xiao considered using the two Taiyin Sun Incarnations to cultivate the Yin-Yang Profound Clarity Path Derivation True Scripture.
• After a month of misfortune caused by the Chengxu Pendant, Zhong Wu Huo begged Fang Xiao to withdraw its power and promised to cultivate diligently.
• Fang Xiao removed the pendant’s isolating power, restoring Zhong Wu Huo’s Lucky Star fortune, and explained that the ordeal had taught him to prepare for a day when luck failed.
• Fang Xiao told Zhong Wu Huo that he had bestowed the difficult Sea Calming Divine Art to give his water-attributed Heavenly Spiritual Root the strongest possible foundation.

Fang Xiao explained the Sea Calming Divine Art’s immense power, punishing cultivation demands, and unusual path to Spirit Transformation to Zhong Wu Huo. Zhong Wu Huo chose to cultivate it, determined to climb to the peak alongside his Master.

• Fang Xiao’s explanation revealed that the Sea Calming Divine Art condensed a cultivator’s power into up to seventy-two Sea Calming Beads, but required repeated cultivation across every realm.
• Fang Xiao explained that the art’s resource demands and lengthy cultivation made it nearly impossible for ordinary cultivators, while Zhong Wu Huo’s Lucky Star destiny and Star Plucking Secret Art could help him overcome those challenges.
• Fang Xiao described how the Spirit Transformation method used the Sea Calming Beads to create twenty-four grotto-heavens whose Dao Track Projections could remove the bottleneck between peak Deity Transformation and Void Refining.
• Fang Xiao told Zhong Wu Huo that he could refuse the art and receive another cultivation method instead.
• Zhong Wu Huo chose the Sea Calming Divine Art and said he would cultivate no other.

After nearly twenty years, Fang Xiao prepared to take the Nine Heavens Demon Purge Sect out of the Taichang Realm, but Yuan Chen arrived seeking help with a dangerous journey from the Barren Gu Continent. The chapter ended as Yuan Chen explained that he and Yan Tiandong could not safely cross the Sea of Mist and needed Fang Xiao’s aid.

• Nearly twenty years passed, and the Nine Heavens Demon Purge Sect’s disciples advanced rapidly, with the five Lu Family brothers reaching Nascent Soul and Yu Linglong advancing to the Fifth Order.
• Fang Xiao accepted Yu Linglong as a personal disciple and gave her the Void Refinement black bone to refine.
• Fang Xiao realized he needed to leave the Taichang Realm before completing his Primordial Chaos Sword Dao Track, and planned to take the Nine Heavens Demon Purge Sect with him.
• Yuan Chen visited Fang Xiao and said his Two Forms Immortal Demon Body had allowed him to cultivate smoothly.
• Yuan Chen explained that Yan Tiandong had located the Barren Gu Continent’s spatial coordinates, but the distance across the Sea of Mist made the journey too dangerous for them to attempt without Fang Xiao.

Fang Xiao agreed to take Yan Tiandong and Yuan Chen through the void to the Barren Gu Continent after relocating the Nine Heavens Demon Purge Sect into his Small World. As Fang Xiao set out with them, Xuan Zhongtian arrived at the Xuan Mo Realm and began searching for him.

• Fang Xiao agreed to help Yan Tiandong and Yuan Chen reach the Barren Gu Continent through the void, but first needed to move the Nine Heavens Demon Purge Sect and its earth and spirit veins.
• Ten days later, the Nine Heavens Demon Purge Sect vanished from the Taichang Realm, prompting lower-level cultivators to panic and major powers to hasten their evacuation preparations.
• Fang Xiao left the Taichang Realm with the Dao Track in his body nearing completion, unaware that it would be his final visit there.
• Xuan Zhongtian arrived at the Xuan Mo Realm in his true body and sent a stream of light inside to investigate the destruction of Origin Fiery Demon Peak and the final image from his lost divine sense.
• Fang Xiao calculated that reaching the Barren Gu Continent would take half a year or longer, while Yan Tiandong thanked him and showed that his Spirit God Realm cultivation had reached the middle stage.

Fang Xiao cultivated within the Small World and advanced to peak Deity Transformation, gaining strength comparable to Void Refining as his Primordial Chaos Sword Dao became complete. His breakthrough left Yan Tiandong and Yuan Chen astonished, while Fang Xiao still faced a shortage of high-tier spiritual energy.

• Fang Xiao settled Yan Tiandong and Yuan Chen in the Small World, then resumed cultivation after deciding he no longer needed to fear the Chains of Rules.
• Fang Xiao considered compressing the Small World's Spirit Veins to form a sixth-tier vein, which he needed to advance into Void Refining.
• Nearly three years later, Yan Tiandong and Yuan Chen awoke to a massive surge of spiritual energy and realized Fang Xiao had likely broken through.
• Fang Xiao advanced to peak Deity Transformation and consumed vast amounts of spiritual energy, Spirit Milk Wine, and Fifth-Order Spirit Milk to replenish his magical power.
• Fang Xiao's Primordial Chaos Sword Dao returned to the Primordial Chaos Sword Venerate and became complete, giving him strength comparable to or greater than that of a newly advanced Void Refining cultivator.

Fang Xiao completed his breakthrough to the peak of Deity Transformation and prepared to leave the Small World to deal with the Giant Bee near the Taichang Realm’s World Barrier. He emerged into the void and found the Space Force abnormally thin, while Space Severance had still not reached its destination.

• Fang Xiao observed the Great White Sword Pellet drawing closer to another Primordial Chaos Sword Dao Track as his Small World grew, then continued refining spiritual qi and Spirit Milk Wine.
• Yu Linglong sent the Nine Heavens Demon Purge Sect’s disciples to cultivate their Star Fate Marks and reflected on the gulf between her strength and Fang Xiao’s.
• Fang Xiao replenished his mana and reached the peak of Deity Transformation, which he considered the limit of the lower realm.
• Fang Xiao decided to investigate why Space Severance had not reported back after nearly ten months and left the Small World.
• Fang Xiao emerged into the void, halted the Void Cutter Sword, and sensed that the surrounding Space Force was unusually thin.

Fang Xiao learned that the thinning Space Force likely pointed to the Giant Bee he had come to find, then brought Yan Tiandong and Yuan Chen toward the void. In the Tian Luo Realm, Xue Lian warned the Devil Race leaders that the Xuan Mo Realm possessed a Half-step Dao Artifact as their army prepared to invade the Taichang Realm.

• Space Severance told Fang Xiao that the Space Force had grown thin and suspected a void lay ahead, so Fang Xiao recalled it and released Yan Tiandong and Yuan Chen.
• Fang Xiao explained the likely connection between the void and the Giant Bee, and told Yan Tiandong and Yuan Chen that he intended to face the sixth-rank Gu insect if necessary.
• Yan Tiandong and Yuan Chen reacted to Fang Xiao’s peak Deity Transformation cultivation, and Fang Xiao carried them toward the void.
• In the Tian Luo Realm, the Devil Race army prepared to march on the Taichang Realm as Xue Lian and Six Desires stood among its peak Deity Transformation True Demons.
• A female demon questioned Xue Lian about the Xuan Mo Realm’s Half-step Dao Artifact, and Xue Lian affirmed that it had suppressed his will to resist and likely helped the Xuan Mo Realm seize the Taichang Realm.

Six Desires learned that Fang Xiao was alive and had destroyed the Xuan Mo Realm’s True Demons, so he decided to send him intelligence about the Tian Luo Realm’s plans. Meanwhile, the Tian Luo devils used Chilou’s power to transport their army toward the Taichang Realm, intending to claim it by branding it with their realm’s wedge.

• Six Desires concluded that Fang Xiao was still alive, learned of his strength in the Taichang Realm, and resolved to relay the Tian Luo Realm’s plans to him.
• Six Desires decided that if he could not locate Fang Xiao, he would seek out Ling Taichu at the Tianlan Sect.
• The succubus asked Chilou to transport the Devil Race army and promised him blood food in return.
• Chilou revealed his monstrous form and used his innate spatial power to swallow the entire Devil Race army.
• The narration explained that the Tian Luo devils intended to claim the Taichang Realm by branding it with a wedge condensed from their realm’s Heavenly Will.

Fang Xiao opened a void vortex so Yan Tiandong and Yuan Chen could enter the Taichang Realm, then confronted the sixth-rank Giant Bee hidden in the Void Land. The Giant Bee attacked without responding to his attempt to communicate, and Fang Xiao prepared to strike it with the Primordial Chaos Sword Venerate.

• Six Desires secretly recorded the Tian Luo Realm devils’ plans to replace the Spirit Realm’s wedge and spread the Devil Race across the Taichang Realm.
• Fang Xiao found a route into the Taichang Realm but warned Yan Tiandong and Yuan Chen that he could not enter because the lower realm suppressed him.
• Fang Xiao opened a void vortex and gave Yan Tiandong and Yuan Chen a strike of his to protect them before they entered.
• Fang Xiao tracked down the Giant Bee in the Void Land and tried to speak to it in the language of the Gu.
• The Giant Bee attacked Fang Xiao, who summoned the Primordial Chaos Sword Venerate and commanded it to slash.

Fang Xiao discovered that the Giant Bee had escaped the Taichang Realm’s World Barrier by splitting into countless tiny insects, each containing Dao Track power. He captured the swarm in his Small World and returned to cultivation while waiting for Yan Tiandong and Yuan Chen to arrange the factions’ withdrawal.

• Fang Xiao’s sword severed the Giant Bee’s legs and split its body, but the creature transformed into tiny insects and flowed out through the World Barrier breach.
• Fang Xiao realized the Giant Bee had been trapped by its own Space Force-devouring ability and had escaped by using a calamity-substitution ability triggered by his attack.
• The swarm surged toward Fang Xiao, who stored every insect in his Small World after noticing that each one contained Dao Track power.
• The insects re-formed into the Giant Bee in the Small World, then fell dormant after Fang Xiao was no longer a target.
• Fang Xiao returned to the void vortex, left the Void Cutter Sword there, and entered his Small World to continue cultivating.

Fang Xiao returned Yan Tiandong and Yuan Chen to the Taichang Realm after helping them search the Barren Gu Land. With the Tian Luo Realm’s invasion approaching and Fang Xiao unable to return, Ling Taichu directed the Spirit Transformation cultivators to evacuate the Taichang Realm.

• The Small World’s time flow reached four times that of the greater world, and Fang Xiao cultivated there for a year while three months passed outside.
• Yan Tiandong and Yuan Chen returned after searching the mist for survivors in the Barren Gu Land, then thanked Fang Xiao for helping them resolve their concern about their descendants.
• Fang Xiao brought Yan Tiandong and Yuan Chen into the Small World and set out to return, unaware of the crisis unfolding in the Taichang Realm.
• The Six Desires Split-Soul told Ling Taichu that the Tian Luo Realm might be invading, and Ling Taichu gathered the Spirit Transformation cultivators to discuss the threat.
• Ling Taichu explained that Fang Xiao could no longer remain in the Taichang Realm and ordered each sacred land to evacuate its people, taking resources where possible and leaving no human behind.
• The Spirit Transformation cultivators agreed to manage the evacuation and spoke confidently about conquering the Tian Luo Realm and the Devil Race’s four lower realms.

After the Taichang Realm’s human population was evacuated, Fang Xiao learned that Six Desires had leaked the Tian Luo Realm’s movements and prepared to trap its army. He ordered the Void Cutter Sword to reinforce space around the Five Domains and Four Seas, then sent a Dao Soldier carrying the Xuanhuang Gourd into the Taichang Realm.

• The major holy land factions evacuated every human from the Taichang Realm aboard Void Ships and departed while avoiding the Tian Luo Realm army.
• Fang Xiao returned to the void near the Five Domains and Four Seas and learned from Ling Taichu’s information that Six Desires had relayed intelligence about the Tian Luo Realm.
• Fang Xiao ordered the Void Cutter Sword to draw in Space Force and seal spatial ruptures around the Five Domains and Four Seas so the Tian Luo Realm army could not escape into the void.
• Fang Xiao sent a Dao Soldier carrying the Xuanhuang Gourd through the Taichang Realm’s barrier and down into the Nine Heavens.

Fang Xiao prepared Taichang Realm for Tian Luo Realm’s invasion, hiding the Six Energies Dao Soldier and arranging an escape route for his allies. When the invading devils entered the realm, Fang Xiao revealed that he had trapped them inside and killed the first peak Deity Transformation cultivator who tried to escape.

• Fang Xiao used the Small World’s accelerated time to finish nurturing the Gold Bean, then sent the Six Energies Dao Soldier to retrieve the Void Suppressing Sword and Five Divine Peaks when needed.
• After sensing Tian Luo Realm’s army nearing, Fang Xiao told the Void Cutter Sword to hide in Taichang Realm and prepare a route for retreat.
• Six Desires realized Fang Xiao intended to trap Tian Luo Realm’s main force, and Fang Xiao warned him not to enter Taichang Realm.
• Fang Xiao recalled the Six Energies Dao Soldier and the Half-step Dao Artifacts before Tian Luo Realm’s devils entered the realm.
• Half an hour after the devils entered, Fang Xiao’s Primordial Chaos Sword Venerate killed the first peak Deity Transformation cultivator who tried to escape.

Fang Xiao ambushed the Tian Luo Realm devils at the Taichang Realm and trapped them with the Void Cutter Sword, while Xue Lian discovered that Fang Xiao was still alive. Chilou realized the devils could escape only by splitting up and leaving the sword’s spatial range.

• Fang Xiao casually killed a peak Deity Transformation devil, alarming Six Desires and the other Tian Luo Realm cultivators.
• The devils recognized the ambush, and Xue Lian learned that the supposedly dead Fang Xiao had survived and reached the Void Refining Stage.
• A devil failed to shatter space, and Chilou discovered the Void Cutter Sword was preventing the group from escaping.
• Chilou explained that the devils would have to flee separately to get beyond the Void Cutter Sword’s range.

The True Demons of Tian Luo Realm were trapped by the Void Cutter Sword and the advancing Ruins of the Underworld, so they decided to use the Forbidden Dao Spirit Pearl against Fang Xiao. After Xue Lian revealed Fang Xiao’s identity and astonishing rise, the devils headed together toward the realm barrier to confront him.

• Moon Demon accepted that the Void Cutter Sword had targeted him and pursued the other True Demons, preventing them from escaping its range.
• As the Ruins of the Underworld swallowed the Central Lands and spread across the other regions, the devils gathered over the Four Seas and realized they had little time left.
• The True Demons agreed to use the Forbidden Dao Spirit Pearl, a single-use item that could temporarily seal the power of Dao trajectories.
• The devils demanded information about Fang Xiao, and Xue Lian recounted his origins and remarkable feats, including his rapid rise to Void Refining.
• The devils resolved to attack Fang Xiao together after activating the Forbidden Dao Spirit Pearl, then moved toward the realm barrier.

As the Ruins of the Underworld consumed the Taichang Realm, Fang Xiao blocked the demons of the Tian Luo Realm from escaping. They used a Forbidden Dao Spirit Pearl to suppress his Dao Track and attack, but Fang Xiao summoned more than twenty powerful Dao Soldiers, forcing them to flee; he sent his forces after them and vowed to cast them back into the collapsing realm.

• Fang Xiao sensed the Ruins of the Underworld swallowing the Sword Abyss, the Five Regions, and the Four Seas, then used the Primordial Chaos Sword Venerate to block the Taichang Realm’s World Barrier.
• The True Demons of the Tian Luo Realm used a Forbidden Dao Spirit Pearl to break through Fang Xiao’s defenses and temporarily freeze his Primordial Chaos Sword Dao Track.
• Fang Xiao summoned the Void Cutter Sword, his Spirit Treasures as Dao Soldiers, and numerous other powerful figures, including Lunar and Solar.
• The Tian Luo Realm demons abandoned their attack and scattered to flee after seeing Fang Xiao’s forces outnumber them.
• Fang Xiao ordered his Dao Soldiers to pursue the demons and declared that he would send them, or their corpses, back into the collapsing Taichang Realm.

Fang Xiao absorbed the Forbidden Dao spiritual light from the devils’ pearl, gaining a new way to suppress Dao Track power, and annihilated the Tian Luo Realm invaders. He then waited as the Ruins of the Underworld pressed against the Taichang Realm’s World Barrier, which began to warp under the strain.

• Fang Xiao used the Primordial Reflection Mirror to absorb the Forbidden Dao spiritual light from the Forbidden Dao Spirit Pearl and evolved a new Dharma Manifestation divine ability.
• Fang Xiao and the Taiyin Sun Incarnations regained their Dao Track power, and Fang Xiao’s Dao soldiers killed every True Demon from the Tian Luo Realm.
• Fang Xiao extracted the Chaos Essence Blood from Chilou and sent the devils’ corpses into the Taichang Realm as food for the Ruins of the Underworld.
• Fang Xiao spared Six Desires because he had warned him about the invasion and still had uses for him.
• Several days later, the Ruins of the Underworld reached the Taichang Realm’s World Barrier, and the barrier began to warp as it held back the spreading darkness.

Fang Xiao discovered that Space Force restrained the Ruins of the Underworld and began supplying it in hopes of forming a Seed of the World. Fifteen years later, Ling Taichu and the others reached the Tian Luo Realm, where they had to decide whether to wait for Fang Xiao or begin their assault.

• After the Taichang Realm vanished, Fang Xiao tested how Space Force affected the Ruins of the Underworld and found that removing it made the Ruins expand again.
• Fang Xiao ordered Space Severance to pour Space Force into the Ruins, which slowed its expansion and made it begin contracting.
• Fang Xiao concluded that the Ruins might condense into a Seed of the World and stayed to supply it with Space Force.
• Fifteen years after leaving the Taichang Realm, Ling Taichu and the others arrived outside the Tian Luo Realm aboard more than a dozen Void Ships.
• A vague figure told Ling Taichu that Fang Xiao had not yet left the Ruins of the Underworld and asked whether they would wait or attack the Tian Luo Realm.

Ling Taichu organized the Taichang Realm’s cultivators to invade the Tian Luo Realm before its remaining defenders could receive reinforcements. After dividing up the campaign and agreeing how to govern the conquered regions, the cultivators began their assault on the Tian Luo Realm’s World Barrier.

• Six Desires Split-Soul urged Ling Taichu to rely on Fang Xiao, but Ling Taichu chose to attack the Tian Luo Realm without depending on him.
• Ling Taichu warned the Spirit Transformation cultivators that they had to conquer the Tian Luo Realm quickly before its defenders gained reinforcements or Fang Xiao left for the Spirit Realm.
• Ling Taichu presented a map and proposed that the holy land forces claim states, take responsibility for conquering and cleansing them, and jointly govern any unclaimed regions.
• The cultivators agreed to Ling Taichu’s plan and mobilized their forces aboard their Void Ships.
• Three days later, Ling Taichu led the Void Ships through the Tian Luo Realm’s World Barrier.

The Taichang Realm forces invaded the Tian Luo Realm and began conquering its prefectures while Fang Xiao watched the Ruins of the Underworld shrink toward a possible Seed of the World. Xuan Zhongtian tracked Fang Xiao to the Tian Luo Realm and sent an incarnation there, where it confronted the Shanhai Sect after the sect seized Tianhe Prefecture.

• Ling Taichu and the other Spirit Transformation cultivators led the Taichang Realm forces through the Void Ship to seize Tianya Prefecture as their foothold in the Tian Luo Realm.
• Fang Xiao observed that the Ruins of the Underworld had shrunk considerably and believed it might eventually condense into a Seed of the World.
• After finding no information about Fang Xiao in the Xuan Mo Realm, Xuan Zhongtian learned from the Xuan Clan that Origin Fiery Demon Peak had been taken to the Tian Luo Realm and followed the trail there.
• The Shanhai Sect's three Spirit Transformation cultivators killed the True Demon guarding Tianhe Prefecture and planned to make the prefecture their new foundation.
• Xuan Zhongtian's incarnation approached Tianhe Prefecture with peak Deity Transformation strength and True Demonic Qi, prompting the injured Shanhai Sect cultivators to flee separately.
