Chapter Summaries

Heavenly River True Lord led a team into the Ancient Shattered Zone, where Shi Gu accidentally revealed a hidden spatial vortex. After thousands of years of deduction, Heavenly River True Lord discovered a natural Chaos undercurrent that passed through a blind spot in the Ten Directions Jiemie Grand Formation and reached the Nether Spring Ancient Abyss, giving the team a way to infiltrate it.

• Heavenly River True Lord brought Chaotic Ancient True Lord, the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas, Shi Gu, and other elites into the dangerous Ancient Shattered Zone to search for a way into the Nether Spring Ancient Abyss.
• Shi Gu dodged a burst of Space Wind Blades, fell into a gray vortex, and lost his scouting Array Disk inside it.
• The Array Disk remained intact and transmitted a faint signal from within the vortex, prompting Heavenly River True Lord to examine it.
• After thousands of years of deduction, Heavenly River True Lord identified a natural Chaos undercurrent running from the vortex to the Nether Spring Ancient Abyss through a blind spot in the Ten Directions Jiemie Grand Formation.
• Chaotic Ancient True Lord and the others celebrated the discovery as a route into the Nether Spring Ancient Abyss, while Heavenly River True Lord clenched his fists with renewed hope.

Heavenly River True Lord discovered that the Rebel-Suppression Alliance could use a hidden undercurrent to send weapons into the Nether Spring Ancient Abyss without entering themselves. The delayed Dead Stars and Nine Netherworlds Yin Thunder devastated the experts cultivating inside, while the guards outside could not find how the attack had bypassed their defenses.

• Heavenly River True Lord made everyone who learned of the undercurrent swear a Dao Oath and secretly gathered the Rebel-Suppression Alliance at the passage.
• Heavenly River True Lord warned that living cultivators entering the undercurrent would alert the sentries, then proposed sending weapons through it instead.
• The Rebel-Suppression Alliance sent thousands of delayed Dead Stars and jars of Nine Netherworlds Yin Thunder through the undercurrent and past the Ten Directions Jiemie Grand Formation.
• The weapons exploded throughout the Nether Spring Ancient Abyss, interrupting the Unity Realm experts’ cultivation and injuring seven or eight of them.
• Blood Butcher, True Lord Tianxing, and True Lord Guji heard the explosions from inside the abyss, but found their formation intact and no enemy outside.

Mysterious dead-star explosions repeatedly struck the Unity Realm experts inside the Nether Spring Ancient Abyss, while their searches found no culprit or explanation. The attacks continued for millions of years, leaving the experts too frightened to enter deep seclusion.

• Ancestor Xuanhuang confronted Blood Butcher and the guards, who swore no enemy had crossed the intact formation, leaving the first explosions unexplained.
• Ancestor Xuanhuang ordered a thorough search, but the experts found no trace of an intruder and blamed a rare eruption of energy beneath the rift.
• Jiemie strengthened security by assigning patrols inside the Nether Spring Ancient Abyss as well as outside it.
• A hundred thousand years later, dead stars erupted beneath True Lord Cang Lan's cave abode, interrupting his meditation and injuring him.
• Ancestor Xuanhuang and the other experts found no culprit after the second attack, then endured sporadic explosions for millions of years until they stopped daring to enter deep seclusion.

After another underground attack, the Unity Realm experts at the Nether Spring Ancient Abyss agreed they had to leave, but realized they had nowhere safe to go while holding the True Saint Insights. Their alliance fractured as members blamed Jiemie and the Abyssal Sea Divine Hub, leaving Blood Butcher to shield Jiemie from the angry crowd.

• True Lord Cang Lan urged the experts to abandon the Nether Spring Ancient Abyss after another explosion, and the others agreed.
• Jiemie asked where they could go, and a veteran Unity Realm expert warned that Heavenly River's cultivators would find them wherever they hid.
• The experts despaired over being unable to fight or escape their tormentors, and some regretted how they had handled Heavenly River in the Southern Wasteland Star Domain.
• Native Unity Realm experts blamed Jiemie for promising peaceful seclusion and demanded an explanation.
• Blood Butcher stepped in to defend Jiemie, but the alliance remained on the verge of breaking apart.

True Lord Mingxuan proposed buying peace from Heavenly River’s group with ten sets of True Saint Insights, arguing that progress toward the True Saint Realm mattered more than pride. He then shifted the cost onto Jiemie and the Abyssal Sea Divine Hub, leaving the native Unity Realm cultivators eager to sacrifice them.

• True Lord Mingxuan argued that the Unity Realm cultivators should give Heavenly River’s group ten sets of True Saint Insights to end the conflict.
• Blood Butcher, True Lord Tianxing, and other Unity Realm cultivators objected to compromising with Fusion Dao Realm cultivators, but True Lord Mingxuan challenged them to value the Great Dao over dignity.
• True Lord Mingxuan proposed that Jiemie and the Abyssal Sea Divine Hub gather ten sets of insights from their Fusion Dao Realm subordinates because they had caused the trouble and possessed the insights Heavenly River wanted.
• The native Unity Realm cultivators accepted the idea and turned hostile gazes on Jiemie, Kongxuan, Wuwang, Xu Yuan, and Blood Butcher.
• Blood Butcher tried to confront True Lord Mingxuan but saw that his former allies had already turned against him.

Unity Realm cultivators rejected True Lord Mingxuan’s proposal to surrender True Saint Insights and agreed to True Lord Kongxuan’s plan to lure Heavenly River’s forces into an ambush at the Godfall Sea. The alliance prepared to make one final gamble, while Jiemie was warned he would have to give up the ten portions of insights if the trap failed.

• Blood Butcher angrily challenged True Lord Mingxuan for proposing that Jiemie’s group resolve the crisis by themselves, but True Lord Kongxuan restrained him.
• True Lord Tianxing rejected any payment to Heavenly River’s forces, warning that concessions would only encourage further demands, and Ancestor Xuanhuang backed him.

• Ancestor Xuanhuang approved the ambush plan and ordered the fifty-two Unity Realm powerhouses to prepare for the move.
• Ancestor Xuanhuang told Jiemie that he would have to surrender ten portions of True Saint Insights if the ambush failed, and Jiemie reluctantly agreed.

Heavenly River True Lord’s attacks on the Nether Spring Ancient Abyss stopped drawing a response, and scouts discovered that Jiemie, Ancestor Xuanhuang, and the other Unity Realm powerhouses had abandoned it. Believing they had fled in fear toward the Godfall Sea, Heavenly River ordered the Rebel-Suppression Alliance to pursue, unaware that he had fallen for a deadly trap.

• Heavenly River True Lord ordered another batch of Dead Stars and Yin Thunder sent into the Chaos Undertow when the Nether Spring Ancient Abyss gave no response.

• Heavenly River True Lord dismissed the possibility of a trap and ordered the Alliance to march on the Godfall Sea after three days.

In Godfall Sea, Ancestor Xuanhuang and forty-two Unity D Realm experts completed a hidden formation designed to trap Tianxing and his forces. After centuries of waiting, scouts began probing the island, but the ambush remained undiscovered as the hunters waited for their main target.

• Ancestor Xuanhuang and forty-two Unity D Realm experts concealed themselves around the island and completed the Hunyuan Heaven-Locking Absolute Formation.
• Blood Butcher waited at the formation’s center, consumed by anger and eager to kill the approaching enemies.
• When some experts doubted that Tianxing would come, Ancestor Xuanhuang ordered them to remain patient, reasoning that Tianxing’s suspicion and conceit would bring him to investigate.
• After a thousand years, an advance scout entered the edge of Godfall Sea and silently alerted the hidden Unity Realm experts.
• Over the following centuries, scouts repeatedly searched the island and found nothing suspicious, while the experts continued waiting for Tianxing’s main force.

The Rebel-Suppression Alliance searched the Godfall Sea for a Chaos undercurrent but found none for hundreds of thousands of years. Withered and Flourishing True Lord finally discovered a flaw in the Ten Directions Jiemie Grand Formation, and Heavenly River True Lord confirmed it was genuine, giving the alliance a possible opening to attack.

• Heavenly River True Lord sent three hundred cultivators into the Godfall Sea to search for a Chaos undercurrent and ordered Withered and Flourishing True Lord to analyze the enemy formation.

• Withered and Flourishing True Lord announced that his analysis had revealed a flaw in the Ten Directions Jiemie Grand Formation.
• Withered and Flourishing True Lord identified sluggish Law circulation where Blood Butcher’s Law joined Xuanshui Law, attributing it to the Unity Realm defenders’ exhaustion.
• Heavenly River True Lord examined the flaw and confirmed it was genuine, then recognized an opportunity to strike.

Withered and Flourishing True Lord proposed using the Inverse Chaos Star Vortex Grand Formation to disrupt the Ten Directions Jiemie Grand Formation, but the plan required all fourteen hundred members of the Rebel-Suppression Alliance to attack together. Heavenly River True Lord overruled Chaotic Ancient True Lord’s doubts and set the assault for three days later.

• Withered and Flourishing True Lord revealed the Inverse Chaos Star Vortex, a formation designed to exploit a delay in the enemy formation’s linked laws.
• Withered and Flourishing True Lord explained that all fourteen hundred Alliance members had to strike designated nodes at once to paralyze the enemy formation for three breaths.

• Heavenly River True Lord dismissed Chaotic Ancient True Lord’s concerns and persuaded the Alliance to stake everything on the attack.
• Heavenly River True Lord ordered everyone to memorize their positions and timing within three days, setting the assault for a moonless, windswept night.

Heavenly River True Lord led more than fourteen hundred Rebel-Suppression Alliance cultivators in an assault on the island’s protective formation, believing they had cracked it. The Unity Realm Protectors revealed the attack was a trap and sealed the alliance inside Hunyuan Locking Heaven.

• Ancestor Xuanhuang activated Hunyuan Locking Heaven with the fifty-two Unity Realm experts, freezing the Rebel-Suppression Alliance in place.

Trapped inside a sealed formation with no means of escape, they faced Blood Butcher and the others as the formation began to contract.

• Blood Butcher began contracting the Hunyuan Heaven-Locking Absolute Formation and told the trapped cultivators to enjoy their final moments.

As the Hunyuan Heaven-Locking Absolute Formation crushed the Rebel-Suppression Alliance, Heavenly River True Lord proposed that waves of cultivators detonate their Law Origins to break a path through it. He volunteered to lead the first team, and the trapped cultivators formed fourteen teams to attempt their escape.

• The contracting formation made movement nearly impossible, and the trapped cultivators blamed Heavenly River True Lord and Chaotic Ancient True Lord as panic threatened to become infighting.
• Heavenly River True Lord silenced the crowd and proposed detonating their Laws to blast a way through the formation.
• The Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas explained that at least a hundred cultivators had to detonate their Law Origins together at the same point, in repeated waves, to open even a narrow passage.
• Heavenly River True Lord volunteered to lead the first team and asked Chaotic Ancient True Lord and the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas to arrange the remaining teams by lot.
• The cultivators accepted the plan and divided into fourteen teams of a hundred, with Heavenly River True Lord taking the front of the first team.

The Rebel-Suppression Alliance sacrificed wave after wave of Fusion Dao Realm cultivators to attack one node of the Hunyuan Heaven-Locking Absolute Formation. After eight hundred cultivators detonated their Laws, they blasted open the formation’s southeastern corner, leaving the Unity Realm experts shocked and the remaining Alliance cultivators with an opening.

• Blood Butcher and the other Unity Realm experts mocked the Rebel-Suppression Alliance as its cultivators organized into units.
• Heavenly River True Lord led the first hundred cultivators to the junction between True Lord Mingxuan and True Lord Cang Lan’s Laws, where they detonated their Law Origins and shook the formation.
• Chaotic Ancient True Lord led a second hundred-man unit into the same node, and the repeated blasts caused it to begin cracking.
• The Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas, Withered and Flourishing True Lord, True Lord Shi Gu, and other Alliance leaders led further units in successive self-detonations as the Unity Realm experts struggled to stabilize the node.
• A taciturn Rogue Cultivator led the eighth hundred-man unit in a final detonation, and the accumulated force blasted open the formation’s southeastern corner.

Heavenly River True Lord and most of the trapped cultivators escaped the Hunyuan Heaven-Locking Absolute Formation, but True Lord Shi Gu and more than a hundred others were sealed inside. Heavenly River True Lord abandoned them and fled into the Godfall Sea with his companions.

• Ancestor Xuanhuang and the other Unity Realm powerhouses closed the breach and shrank the formation into a cage around those left behind.
• Heavenly River True Lord ignored True Lord Shi Gu's pleas, then retreated through a spatial rift with Chaotic Ancient True Lord, the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas, and the others.

After Heavenly River True Lord escaped, Jiemie and Ancestor Xuanhuang convinced True Lord Cang Lan not to pursue him and to focus on their prisoners instead. Fifty-two Unity Realm experts began grinding away the Great Dao Origins of the more than a hundred and thirty captives, including True Lord Shi Gu.

After the Rebel-Suppression Alliance was devastated in the Godfall Sea, Chaotic Ancient True Lord and the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas urged Heavenly River True Lord to disband. Instead, Heavenly River decided to expose Jiemie, Ancestor Xuanhuang, and the other Unity Realm cultivators’ possession of True Saint Insights and summon the universe’s powerful cultivators to the Godfall Sea.
