Chapter Summaries

Hu Qi destroyed Star Country and Nile, then used Zhang Yi’s will to trace Evolution Heavenly Venerable’s memories and analyze his True Spirit essence. As Hu Qi’s attack drew a response from Evolution Heavenly Venerable, an unknown figure in Purple Cloud Palace obscured the heavenly secrets, attracting the attention of a woman on Mandara Mountain.

• A figure in Purple Cloud Palace sensed the disturbance and obscured the heavenly secrets, while a woman on Mandara Mountain noticed the concealment.

Hu Qi learned that the Mountain Sea Realm’s Heavenly Dao could support only five True Spirits, making advancement seemingly impossible unless one of them was replaced. After Evolution Heavenly Venerable gave him a protective mark, Hu Qi erased the apocalypse from the altered spacetime and returned to Xianyun City with new knowledge about the True Spirit level.

Hu Qi realized the Mountain Sea Realm’s True Spirit path was blocked and considered, then rejected, entrusting his True Spirit Mark to the Void Sea. He left Xianyun City to gather Modification Points by slaughtering and devouring creatures across the Core Land, until a Green Robe Daoist confronted him near a sealed basin.

• A Green Robe Daoist spotted Hu Qi approaching the barrier around his basin-shaped artifact-refining domain and called for him to stop.

Hu Qi stopped his decades-long hunt after slaughter karma began accumulating, then used the 7,080 Modification Points he had gathered to have Crimson deduce a path toward the True Spirit realm. The successful deduction convinced him that he could pursue advancement by entrusting his True Spirit Mark to the Scarlet Panel, and he ordered Crimson to elevate his cultivation art.

• Hu Qi, in his Golden-Winged Great Peng form, defeated and devoured the true dragon who had challenged him, then swallowed the barrier's supernatural beings while leaving the ordinary humans unharmed.

Hu Qi began advancing to the True Spirit level when Netherworld Heavenly Venerable used the Black Spirit Banner to trap him and drag him into a false life as his modern self.

• Netherworld Heavenly Venerable invoked reincarnation to seize Hu Qi’s identity, trapping his consciousness in a false life where an impostor posed as his sister Hu Ya.

• Netherworld Heavenly Venerable suppressed the protective measure, but Hu Qi resisted her assimilation and escaped the reincarnation cycle.
• Hu Qi vowed to destroy the Witch Clan and began burning Modification Points to correct his condition, leaving him less than two hours to resist Netherworld Heavenly Venerable.

Hu Qi completed his breakthrough to the True Spirit level while the Netherworld Heavenly Venerable tried to kill and then seal him, and he was swallowed by a vast face in the Void Sea. In the aftermath, Heavenly Venerable Hongyuan sentenced the Netherworld Heavenly Venerable to guard reincarnation forever, while a lightning strike at Black Mountain revealed a white boulder in a new abyss.
