Chapter Summaries

Lei Shuangxing’s God-Devil Pupils showed him an image bearing Senior Wuxiu’s aura, and he activated the Life-Ending Mark, convinced Xi’er was in danger. Meanwhile, Yu Zhiwen’s attempt to take control of the Cloud Realm World failed, and Rao Yaoyao told her a Heavenly Secrets practitioner had seized it.

• Lei Shuangxing suffered a sudden pain in his eyes and briefly saw a blurry figure whose aura matched Senior Wuxiu’s.

• Xu Xiaoshou gave Mu Zixi a drop of Sacred Blood and pleaded with her to wake up.

Xu Xiaoshou confronted Ancestor Wuji for prioritizing his personal grudge against Yi over protecting Mu Zixi, while Mu Zixi remained unconscious in Xu Xiaoshou’s arms. As Xu Xiaoshou advanced with Yousi Sword and his fiendish aura grew, Ancestor Wuji finally realized Mu Zixi was the most important person on the battlefield.

• Xu Xiaoshou focused on Mu Zixi and angrily attacked Ancestor Wuji when he continued calling her a chess piece.
• Ancestor Wuji explained that he had prioritized killing Yi because Yi had once taken his body, and Yi secretly tried to contact Night Owl but found his communicator blocked.
• Xu Xiaoshou condemned Ancestor Wuji for disregarding Mu Zixi’s safety over a personal grudge and rose with Yousi Sword as its fiendish aura threatened to overwhelm him.
• Ancestor Wuji sensed the danger in Xu Xiaoshou’s approach and finally recognized Mu Zixi as the most important of the four present.

Xu Xiaoshou fought the Yousi Sword’s influence as Mu Zixi’s body released divine and demonic power, transforming the Flower Sea and changing her appearance. A woman named Lei Xier emerged through Mu Zixi’s God-Devil Pupils and left Xu Xiaoshou stunned by revealing her identity.

• The Yousi Sword pushed Xu Xiaoshou toward attacking Ancestor Wuji, but Mu Zixi’s faint response briefly restored his clarity.
• Mu Zixi released immense vitality and a trace of divine power, causing a white Flower Sea to bloom and startling Yi and Ancestor Wuji.
• Xu Xiaoshou realized Mu Zixi’s injuries had healed and noticed black demonic aura escaping from her right eye.

• Xu Xiaoshou tried to absorb the demonic aura, but the woman kissed him and asked whether he had calmed down.
• The woman told Xu Xiaoshou she had returned the kiss on Mu Zixi’s behalf, then identified herself as Lei Xier.

Lei Xier emerged while Mu Zixi remained asleep, and Xu Xiaoshou struggled to accept their shared identity. After Aberrant attacked them and Lei Xier took the blow meant for Xu Xiaoshou, Xu Xiaoshou lost control and transformed into the Two-Winged Black Demon Berserk Giant, facing Aberrant and Ancestor Wuji.

• Aberrant realized Lei Xier’s emergence had brought the God-Devil Pupils into play, decided the Lei family remnant could not survive the night, and split his body in two.

• Lei Xier took the attack meant for Xu Xiaoshou, and the shock finally destroyed the last of Xu Xiaoshou’s reason.
• Xu Xiaoshou helped Lei Xier and passed life force into her before unleashing the Berserk Giant and taking up the Yousi Sword and Yanmang.
• Xu Xiaoshou’s giant form turned black, gained ice-blue and blazing-white wings, and became the Two-Winged Black Demon Berserk Giant.

Xu Xiaoshou fought Aberrant in his Berserk Giant form while Lei Xi'er learned that Aberrant's Mimicry could copy abilities from blood, including Xu Xiaoshou's appearance. Aberrant imitated Xu Xiaoshou but could not copy his powers, and Xu Xiaoshou gained the upper hand with Soul Reading before aiming Illusion Annihilation Finger at Aberrant's scattered remains.

• Xu Xiaoshou's Berserk Giant form overwhelmed Aberrant with its speed and strength, forcing Aberrant to evade Yousi Sword and its demonic aura.
• Ancestor Wuji explained to Lei Xi'er that Mimicry could imitate a target's appearance and innate abilities at seventy-seven percent strength after obtaining their blood.
• Ancestor Wuji apologized to Lei Xi'er, then said he needed a moment to stop someone outside from seizing control of the Cloud Realm World.
• Aberrant tasted blood from Xu Xiaoshou and used Mimicry to transform into Xu Xiaoshou, but failed to imitate the Berserk Giant's powers.
• Xu Xiaoshou struck Aberrant with Yousi Sword, used Soul Reading to stop his escape, and smashed his body into pieces.
• Xu Xiaoshou gathered Aberrant's remains with the Breathing Method and aimed Illusion Annihilation Finger at them.

Xu Xiaoshou’s Illusion Annihilation Finger nearly destroyed Aberrant’s soul, but the Soul-Protecting Bell saved his true spirit. As Aberrant began recovering and displayed a trove of soul artifacts, Xu Xiaoshou faced the problem of how to strike a soul he could not reach with ordinary weapons.

• Xu Xiaoshou’s charged Illusion Annihilation Finger struck Aberrant’s soul, making its aura vanish until the Soul-Protecting Bell appeared and preserved his true spirit.
• Ancestor Wuji identified the bell as a lost divine artifact, while Xu Xiaoshou perceived Aberrant’s badly damaged soul body and learned that the bell had disappeared after activating.
• Ancestor Wuji warned that Aberrant was using a Soul-Restoring Spirit Flower to repair himself, and Xu Xiaoshou’s Yousi Sword passed through the soul without harming it.
• Ancestor Wuji briefly used Heavenly Secrets Dao patterns to reveal Aberrant’s soul body as it rapidly recovered with the flower.
• Aberrant taunted Xu Xiaoshou for not daring to use his Holy Avatar and conjured numerous divine objects, including soul artifacts, challenging him to take a dagger-shaped one.

Xu Xiaoshou learned Ancestor Wuji’s Six Mysteries Spirit-Shifting Formation so he could plunder Aberrant’s soul space, but his clash with Ancestor Wuji escalated when he invoked Ba Zunan’s Eight-Character Order. The chapter ended with Xu Xiaoshou commanding Ancestor Wuji to kneel, and the Ancestor obeying.

• Xu Xiaoshou realized Aberrant’s spatial ring and treasures were stored in his soul space, and Ancestor Wuji explained that he could plunder them with a Heavenly Secrets Formation.
• Xu Xiaoshou asked Ancestor Wuji to teach him the Six Mysteries Spirit-Shifting Formation, then comprehended it almost instantly.
• Xu Xiaoshou stopped Aberrant from restoring his physical body with Yousi Sword and began forming the Heavenly Secrets Formation.
• Ancestor Wuji argued with Xu Xiaoshou over his dismissive treatment, and Xu Xiaoshou threw down Ba Zunan’s Eight-Character Order.
• Xu Xiaoshou shouted “Kneel,” and Ancestor Wuji’s knees buckled as he crashed to the ground.

Lei Xier consumed the Holy Blood, mastered the White Cavern World, and broke through to Throne, then used her God-Devil Pupils to immobilize Aberrant. Xu Xiaoshou sealed Aberrant’s soul with the Six Mysteries Spirit-Shifting Formation and found a strange faceless figurine he identified as Mimicry.

• Lei Xier fully claimed the White Cavern World Source Point and rose from Master Tianxiang to Throne, forming the Domain: White Cavern World.

• Xu Xiaoshou used the Six Mysteries Spirit-Shifting Formation to breach Aberrant’s soul space and searched his hidden treasures.
• Xu Xiaoshou found a faceless, clay-like figurine, identified it as Mimicry, and demanded that Aberrant hand it over.

Xu Xiaoshou seized Mimicry and looted Aberrant’s soul space, but Aberrant split his soul and tried to possess Lei Xier. As Aberrant’s attacks overcame Xu Xiaoshou and threatened Lei Xier, Xu Xiaoshou feigned unconsciousness and struck back with the Illusion Annihilation Finger.

• Xu Xiaoshou pulled Mimicry and the treasures from Aberrant’s soul space while Lei Xier restrained part of Aberrant’s soul with her God-Devil Seals.

• Aberrant lunged to possess Lei Xier, unaware that Xu Xiaoshou was pretending to be unconscious, and Xu Xiaoshou struck him with the Illusion Annihilation Finger.

Xu Xiaoshou and Lei Xier pushed Aberrant to the brink, and Ancestor Wuji trapped the Sovereign’s scattered soul fragments inside his Sovereign World. As Aberrant appeared to prepare a self-detonation, Xu Xiaoshou used Soul Reading to seize his memories before he could die.

Xu Xiaoshou used Soul Reading to uncover Aberrant’s escape plans, but Ancestor Wuji’s layered Heavenly Secrets Art blocked each route. Xu Xiaoshou, Lei Xier, and Ancestor Wuji followed Aberrant into a strange space, where an unknown figure revealed they had been waiting for them.

• Xu Xiaoshou selectively read Aberrant’s fragmented memories and learned that Aberrant intended to escape rather than self-destruct.
• Xu Xiaoshou warned Ancestor Wuji that Aberrant planned to flee, but Aberrant detonated the Soul-Protecting Bell stored in his soul blood.

• Xu Xiaoshou pursued the Escape God Coin into a black hole, where he discovered the supposed spatial turbulence was a different space.
• Lei Xier and Ancestor Wuji arrived as a figure approached through the darkness and said they had been waiting for quite some time.

• Lei Shuangxing sensed Mu Zixi in danger inside Aberrant’s domain but trusted Xu Xiaoshou to fight Aberrant and waited rather than expose his own presence.

• Aberrant tried to possess Lei Shuangxing with the Escape God Coin, but the attempt failed because they were in different worlds.
• Lei Shuangxing raised the Soul-Drawing Staff before Xu Xiaoshou, Lei Xier, and Ancestor Wuji, ready to attack Aberrant.

• Xu Xiaoshou told Lei Xier to return to her former appearance by making her body smaller, gesturing toward her chest and thighs.

Xu Xiaoshou used Mimicry to take Mu Zixi’s form after Lei Xier could not change back, then struggled to persuade her to provide clothes for his disguise. Their awkward argument ended with Lei Xier dragging him toward the Origin Mansion to talk.

• Lei Xier punched Xu Xiaoshou, and their familiar reactions convinced him that she and Mu Zixi were still the same person despite her changed appearance.
• Xu Xiaoshou collected Lei Xier’s Trial Jade Pendant and asked for garments to wear underneath the dress, provoking her into grabbing him and ordering him to talk inside the Origin Mansion.

Xu Xiaoshou laid out two plans to protect Lei Xier and First Pavilion Under Heaven after Aberrant’s death: Lei Shuangxing would take responsibility for the killing, while Storyteller’s activity on Void Island would divert the Holy Spirit Hall’s investigation.
