Chapter Summaries

Jiang Liu escaped the trembling Mystic Beast Realm with the Sea Turtle, Unicorn Divine Ox, and Fire-Winged Monkey, then discovered their inheritances had greatly increased their strength. He agreed to send the Unicorn Divine Ox back to the God Realm to cultivate, while the Fire-Winged Monkey’s altered appearance caught his attention.

• Jiang Liu left the Sky-Devouring Beast trapped in Space Chains and hurried to rescue his other beasts as the Mystic Beast Realm trembled.
• The Fire-Winged Monkey, Unicorn Divine Ox, and Sea Turtle flew to Jiang Liu, who stored them in the System Space and traversed back to the desert.
• Jiang Liu found the desert unchanged, brought the three beasts out, and sensed that each had grown a level stronger.
• Jiang Liu saw that the Unicorn Divine Ox had reached the Supreme God Realm and had begun manifesting an unknown Power of Rule.
• The Unicorn Divine Ox asked to return to the God Realm to cultivate, and Jiang Liu agreed.
• Jiang Liu turned to the Fire-Winged Monkey and noticed that its appearance had changed greatly.

Jiang Liu learned that the Fire-Winged Monkey had inherited the Ape-Monkey Class’s Saintly Legend, which elevated it to the First-Order Divine Realm and could lead it to the God Lord Realm without further bottlenecks. The Ape-Monkey Divine Hall vanished after the inheritance, and Jiang Liu turned his attention to the Sea Turtle.

• The Fire-Winged Monkey appeared entirely golden after its inheritance and reached the First-Order Divine Realm, with its aura nearing the Second-Order Divine Realm.
• Jiang Liu questioned the Fire-Winged Monkey about its breakthrough and learned that the Saintly Legend was the Ape-Monkey Class’s bloodline inheritance, one of the legacies preserved by the ten great beast races.
• The Fire-Winged Monkey explained that the inheritance should let it reach the God Lord Realm without further bottlenecks, barring unforeseen accidents.
• The Fire-Winged Monkey told Jiang Liu that it had learned nothing about the Sky-Devouring Beast, and the Ape-Monkey Divine Hall vanished after the inheritance was completed.
• Jiang Liu finished learning about the Fire-Winged Monkey’s inheritance and turned toward the Sea Turtle.

Jiang Liu arranged for Sea Turtle and Fire-Winged Monkey to guard the Human Realm while sending Unicorn Divine Ox back to the God Realm to cultivate. After arriving at Xingyun Island, he found the area peaceful but noticed sea beasts gathering near Tranquil Sea Island, and a mysterious face appeared after he left.

• Sea Turtle's strength rose to the Fourth Tier of the Saint Realm after it received the Dragon Turtle inheritance.
• Jiang Liu sent Sea Turtle and Fire-Winged Monkey to the Mo Province mountain range to cultivate and guard the Human Realm.
• Jiang Liu returned Unicorn Divine Ox to Xingyun Island, where it joyfully plunged into the sea and then headed for the Divine Sea to cultivate.
• Jiang Liu sensed that Yu Chenghai and the others were cultivating on Tranquil Sea Island and noticed sea beasts gathering nearby, apparently targeting the Shockwave Sea Alliance.
• After Jiang Liu left, a gigantic face appeared in the sky and stared into the deep sea.

Jiang Liu returned to the Mystic Beast Realm and found it unchanged despite the collapse he had sensed. After discovering that an unseen consciousness could destroy his attacks and sever his connection to the Sky-Devouring Beast, he suspected the realm’s creator had imprisoned the beast and began considering how old the Mystic Realm was.

• Jiang Liu returned to the Mystic Beast Realm and found that it had not collapsed, despite the rumbling he and the other spirit beasts had sensed.
• Jiang Liu went to the passage leading to the Sky-Devouring Beast and realized he could no longer contact it, while an unfamiliar consciousness seemed to watch him.
• Jiang Liu sent Ice Blades into the passage, but they and the consciousness he had attached to them were annihilated, causing pain in his Divine Sea.
• Jiang Liu concluded that the consciousness likely belonged to the Exotic Beast that had built the Mystic Realm and considered whether it had trapped the Sky-Devouring Beast to use it as an energy source.
• Jiang Liu wondered whether the Mystic Realm had been built before the Human Race split into the Gods, Devils, and Humans, when the Human Realm Space was much larger.

Jiang Liu searched for a way to destroy the Mystic Realm and discovered that the passage to the Exotic Beast Temple had been sealed behind a flawless, unusually durable wall. As he attacked the wall with the Godslayer Blade, the imprisoned Sky-Devouring Beast defiantly rejected Poison Toad’s demand to submit.

• Jiang Liu searched the Mystic Realm for its crucial point, but found only crude passages and statues.
• Jiang Liu examined the seamless wall where the passage to the Exotic Beast Temple had been and realized an Exotic Beast had hidden it with extraordinary skill.
• Jiang Liu struck the wall with pale-blue light, but the attack shattered without damaging it.
• Jiang Liu drew the Godslayer Blade and continued attacking the wall as rumbling and Exotic Beast cries sounded through the Mystic Realm.
• Poison Toad demanded that the imprisoned Sky-Devouring Beast submit, but the Sky-Devouring Beast refused.

Golden Toad reflected on its imprisonment, its history with Poison Toad, and its suspicions about what had happened to the beast race. Poison Toad then looked toward the place where the Exotic Beast Temple had been, while a slash from the Godslayer Blade cracked a sturdy wall.

• Poison Toad appeared before Golden Toad and questioned whether it could survive or escape despite its weakened strength.
• Golden Toad revealed that it had undone Jiang Liu’s Beast Taming Art restriction but kept his spiritual imprint as a possible means to deal with Poison Toad.
• Golden Toad recalled how Poison Toad had lured and imprisoned it, and wondered whether Poison Toad had been trapped or was plotting against the Human Race.
• Poison Toad turned its attention toward the place where the Exotic Beast Temple had been stored, while Golden Toad ignored it.
• The Godslayer Blade flashed, and its pale blue blade ray cracked the sturdy wall.

Jiang Liu discovered that the Mystic Beast Realm had sealed itself into a spatial prison after he struck its wall, disabling the transfer point and the Data Panel. He calmed himself and began examining the realm for a flaw, hoping to escape before pursuing the Sky-Devouring Beast or destroying the realm.

• Jiang Liu cut a deep crack into the wall with the Godslayer Blade, but it instantly closed and became even harder.
• Jiang Liu nearly gave in to the wall’s influence, then suppressed his chaotic thoughts and realized the realm had affected his state of mind.
• Jiang Liu saw that the transfer point had gone dim and sensed that the Mystic Beast Realm had sealed itself shut, leaving him unable to use the Data Panel.
• Jiang Liu reconsidered the realm’s unusual design and resolved to prioritize his escape over subduing the Sky-Devouring Beast or destroying the realm.
• Jiang Liu circulated the Heavenly Evolution Codex and studied the Heaven and Earth Essence to determine whether a formation or an artifact had turned the realm into a prison.

Jiang Liu entered the passage leading to the Golden-Winged Peng inheritance, while the imprisoned Sky-Devouring Beast hoped he would trigger a flaw in the Cage Space and create a chance to escape. The passage’s powerful aura made Jiang Liu wary as he approached the inheritance.

• Jiang Liu cut through a wall near the Saintly Legend inheritance, and the Sky-Devouring Beast watched for a chance to lure out the Poison Toad’s consciousness.
• The Poison Toad phantom vanished into a segment of the Space Chains, and the Sky-Devouring Beast sensed that its consciousness had shifted.
• Jiang Liu searched for differences in the Mystic Beast Realm’s elemental energy and chose the passage with the weakest source.
• The Sky-Devouring Beast realized Jiang Liu had entered the Golden-Winged Peng inheritance passage and hoped he would release its aura to suppress the Poison Toad.
• Jiang Liu felt intense pressure inside the passage and grew vigilant as he approached the inheritance.

Jiang Liu entered a passage containing the Golden-Winged Peng's inheritance and began facing its trials, hoping to find a flaw in the Cage Space. He discovered that the pressure eased as he gathered blade radiance around the Godslayer Blade, and suspected the Golden-Winged Peng cultivated spatial laws.

• Jiang Liu destroyed the phantom birds that attacked him, weakening the pressure of the first trial.
• The Sky-Devouring Beast sensed Jiang Liu's progress and hoped he could release the Golden-Winged Peng's inheritance so it could escape the Cage Space.
• Jiang Liu flew farther into the passage, struck an invisible wall, and realized the passage's obstacles were inheritance trials.
• Jiang Liu recognized the golden bird images on the walls as signs that the inheritance belonged to the Golden-Winged Peng.
• Jiang Liu gathered pale-blue blade radiance around the Godslayer Blade and felt the pressure lessen, leading him to suspect the Golden-Winged Peng wielded spatial laws.

Jiang Liu subdued the Golden-Winged Peng phantom in his Divine Sea and began piecing together the history of the independent Cage Space. He concluded that a Toad Beast had created the prison to weaken and devour the Sky-Devouring Beast, but he remained unsure where its creator had gone and what kind of space the cage was.

• Jiang Liu used the Godslayer Blade to cut through the hidden barrier, then shattered the Golden-Winged Peng phantoms that attacked him.
• A Golden-Winged Peng phantom entered Jiang Liu’s Divine Sea, where Jiang Liu suppressed it and demanded an explanation.
• Jiang Liu realized the Golden-Winged Peng had been testing him and bore him no ill will, though it held contempt for the Human Race.
• Jiang Liu reasoned that a Toad Beast had built the Cage Space to imprison and eventually devour the Sky-Devouring Beast, while legacy-seeking exotic beasts had become trapped inside.
• Jiang Liu concluded that the Toad Beast’s concealment had weakened over time, allowing the Cage Space to appear and the Toad Beast to discover it.
• Jiang Liu wondered where the Toad Beast that created the Cage Space had gone and whether the cage was an artifact or an independent space like the Chaos Space.

Jiang Liu learned that the Golden-Winged Peng had been trapped in the Cage Space by the Poison Toad clan and wanted his help escaping. He refused to agree to its proposed cooperation and challenged its assumption that he would follow its orders.

• Jiang Liu inferred that the Golden-Winged Peng wanted to be rescued and heard how the Poison Toad leader had trapped it while it was preserving its inheritance.
• The Golden-Winged Peng explained that its strength had fallen from the God Lord Realm to the Supreme God Realm and warned that it would eventually lose consciousness.
• The Golden-Winged Peng asked Jiang Liu to join forces to break the spatial cage, while Jiang Liu decided he still needed to seek answers from the Sky-Devouring Beast.
• The Golden-Winged Peng urged Jiang Liu to follow its instructions, but Jiang Liu coldly questioned why he should obey it.

Jiang Liu subdued Golden-Winged Peng in his consciousness sea, but noticed it resisted his Spirit Control Art far more easily than Sky-Devouring Beast had. He suspected Sky-Devouring Beast was using his consciousness to scheme against Poison Toad, and ended by asking Golden-Winged Peng to teach him a better Beast Taming Art.

• Golden-Winged Peng attacked Jiang Liu, but he bound it with Divine Sea water and suppressed it.
• Golden-Winged Peng broke free and evaded Jiang Liu's Spirit Control Art, making him suspect Sky-Devouring Beast had deliberately allowed itself to be captured by the art as part of a plot against Poison Toad.
• Jiang Liu unleashed a storm of spiritual power that struck Golden-Winged Peng and sent it crashing onto the Divine Sea.
• Golden-Winged Peng rejected Jiang Liu's crude Beast Taming Art, and Jiang Liu asked it to provide him with a better one.

Jiang Liu pressured the Golden-Winged Peng for a higher-grade Beast Taming Art and learned that it only knew a divine-grade technique. When the Data Panel detected the Divine Beast Control Art, it restarted, leaving Jiang Liu surprised by its return.

• Jiang Liu threatened the Golden-Winged Peng with his Spirit Sea Space, nearly erasing its remaining consciousness.
• The Golden-Winged Peng explained that it did not know the God Lord-grade Beast Taming Art, and Jiang Liu realized his existing Spirit Control Art was only Saint Grade.
• Jiang Liu asked the Golden-Winged Peng for a divine-grade Beast Taming Art, and it sent him information about the Divine Beast Control Art.
• The Data Panel detected the divine-grade technique and asked Jiang Liu whether to record it.
• Jiang Liu agreed to record the Divine Beast Control Art and wondered why its appearance had restarted the Data Panel.

Jiang Liu learned and fused the Divine Beast Control Art, then used it to tame the Golden-Winged Peng. After discovering that a hidden beast had manipulated the Cage Space, he escaped to the Chaos Space as the Sky-Devouring Beast and the Poison Toad began fighting.

• Jiang Liu fused the Divine Beast Control Art with the Spirit Control Art and used the resulting technique to control the Golden-Winged Peng.
• The Golden-Winged Peng welcomed becoming Jiang Liu's tamed beast and hoped to regain its former strength with his help.
• Jiang Liu realized an exotic beast had manipulated the Cage Space and that the Poison Toad might already have left the Human Realm's airspace.
• The Sky-Devouring Beast and the Poison Toad's auras overwhelmed Jiang Liu, so he used his travel coordinates to escape to the Chaos Space.
• The Sky-Devouring Beast and the Poison Toad faced off, and the Poison Toad accused the Golden Toad of ambushing it.

Golden Toad ambushed Poison Toad with all its remaining Source Power, gravely injuring it but risking a permanent loss of cultivation. Poison Toad stabilized its injuries and turned its power against Golden Toad, leaving Golden Toad trying to escape its spatial prison.

• Poison Toad discovered that Golden Toad had used all its Source Power to ambush it and leave it gravely wounded.
• Poison Toad sent a phantom consciousness into its body to stabilize its injuries and decided to devour Golden Toad.
• Golden Toad accepted the risk of its cultivation falling to the Divine Realm because it hoped to kill Poison Toad.
• Golden Toad unleashed its aura and Law Power to make the spatial prison collapse and break its Space Chains, but Poison Toad contained the space and reinforced it.
• Poison Toad lost patience, released an azure streak of light, and swept it toward Golden Toad.

Jiang Liu questioned the Divine Soul of the Rule Statue about the God Lord Realm and learned that the space they occupied was only a resting place within the much larger Chaos Space. The Divine Soul offered to tell him everything it knew about the Chaos God, though it warned that its knowledge came only from legend and its master's occasional remarks.

• The Divine Soul of the Rule Statue asked Jiang Liu whether he had blocked it from leaving the Divine Hall, and Jiang Liu explained that he had restricted access while investigating other space fragments.
• Jiang Liu asked the Divine Soul to explain the difference between the Divine Realm and the God Lord Realm, and it described transforming Power of Rule into Law Power and the nine great Laws.
• The Divine Soul said the Chaos God and the Rule God Lord were exceptions to the usual path of becoming a God Lord.
• The Divine Soul told Jiang Liu that their space was only one corner of the entire Chaos Space, an independent resting place made by the Chaos God.
• The Divine Soul said it knew only legends and details its master had occasionally mentioned, then offered to share everything it knew.

The Divine Soul of the Rule Statue told Jiang Liu about the God Lords, the origins of Chaos Space, and the ancient war between the Human Race and the Void Creatures. The account ended with the legend that the Chaos God Lord vanished while fighting the Void Overlord.

• The Divine Soul of the Rule Statue explained that the Chaos God Lord controlled Chaos Space, the Chaos Divine Axe, and the Chaos Divine Hall, while the Rule God Lord was powerful enough to contend with him.
• The Divine Soul of the Rule Statue told Jiang Liu that the Rule God Lord established rules in Chaos Space, after which the six Great God Lords arose and the Human Race grew stronger.
• Human Race cultivators entered the void, hunted Void Race creatures, and provoked a war that eventually reached Chaos Space.
• The Void Creatures attacked Chaos Space and shattered it into four independent spaces: Human Realm, Nether Realm, God Realm, and the fragment Jiang Liu controlled.
• The Divine Soul of the Rule Statue recounted the legend that the Chaos God Lord had gone alone to hold off the Void Overlord, though no one could verify the story.

Jiang Liu learned that the Void Overlord had likely killed the Chaos God in the ancient war, leaving Chaos Space shattered and the three races divided. He recognized that restoring Chaos Space would be far harder than he had expected and was left troubled by the Void Overlord’s immense power.

• Jiang Liu concluded that the black shadow that swallowed the Devil God was likely the still-living Void Overlord, and that it had fought and killed the Chaos God.
• Jiang Liu realized the ancient war had broken Chaos Space into three realms and left the Human Race, God Race, and Devil Race divided, making their reunion and a lasting peace difficult.
• Jiang Liu learned that the Chaos Divine Hall had protected Human Race cultivators in the void and that its rule required Divine Realm members of all three races to unite against the Void Creatures.
• Jiang Liu considered the three Transcendent Divine Artifacts and the Chaos Divine Hall’s protection, then wondered how powerful the Void Overlord must be to defeat the Chaos God.

The Golden Toad and Poison Toad fought to the death as their battle pushed the unstable Cage Space to collapse. A black shadow watched from the void as the space vanished, taking both toads and everything inside with it.

• The Golden Toad, weakened by being trapped and drained of Law Power, burned through its bloodline power to raise its strength and attack the Poison Toad.
• The wounded Poison Toad and Golden Toad fought evenly, while the Cage Space grew increasingly unstable after the Saintly Legend inheritance disappeared.
• Their attacks triggered the collapse of the Cage Space, and alien beast light-shadows and space fragments were sucked into Void Rifts.
• A black shadow watched as a gigantic black hole swallowed the Golden Toad, the Poison Toad, and the rest of the Cage Space before disappearing.
• Martial artists later found a huge pit beneath the yellow sand and sent news of it out.

Jiang Liu considered how Power of Rule could be transformed into Law Power and what that meant for reaching the God Lord Realm. He weighed the possible advantage of turning his Time-Space Rule into Chaos Law against the risks, and the chapter ended with him considering the three stages of the God Lord Realm.

• Jiang Liu learned that Law Power could be formed by combining Power of Rule with cultivation techniques and secret manuals, though it remained within the Nine Great Laws.
• Jiang Liu reasoned that Chaos Law contained all other laws, explaining the Chaos God's superiority and the exceptional strength of the Rule God Lord.
• Jiang Liu considered transforming his Time-Space Rule into Chaos Law because he controlled Chaos Space, but doubted that creating Law Power from nothing was a reliable breakthrough method.
• Jiang Liu worried that the missing Chaos God might return and take back Chaos Space, leaving him in danger even if he reached the God Lord Realm.
• Jiang Liu recalled that the God Lord Realm was divided into three stages according to one's understanding of Law Power.
