Chapter Summaries

Lei Xier used her Supreme Life Demon Body to drain Yu Lingdi’s life force and pass the bronze cauldron to Xu Xiaoshou, who fought Number Two through a series of attacks. Number Two entered battle mode, shattered Xu Xiaoshou’s Berserk Giant with a kick, and declared that the fight would end there.

• Lei Xier used Demonic Extremity to suppress Yu Lingdi, then unleashed her Supreme Life Demon Body and drained his life force until he withered inside the bronze cauldron.
• Mu Zixi, awakened after Lei Xier’s power subsided, hurled the bronze cauldron toward Xu Xiaoshou as Number Two’s finger tried to seize it.
• Xu Xiaoshou blocked Number Two’s attacks, swallowed the Silent Extinction Black Beam with Great Feast, and blasted its converted energy back at him.
• Number Two activated combat mode and shrank into a tiny form to charge Xu Xiaoshou, who used Heart Sword Technique and Absolute Imperial Rule to pin him down briefly.
• Number Two suddenly appeared in his thousand-zhang form, kicked Xu Xiaoshou’s Berserk Giant apart, and said Xu Xiaoshou’s fight was over.

Xu Xiaoshou outwitted Number Two and traded Yu Lingdi for the bronze cauldron and the return of his junior sister, but Number Two moved to eliminate Feng Xiaose. Feng Xiaose revealed his true strength and unleashed the Myriad Sword Technique’s Second Realm, Wrath of the Great Red God.

• Xu Xiaoshou revealed that Number Two had destroyed a portrait clone while his true body rescued Mu Zixi and Feng Xiaose with the Berserk Giant.
• Xu Xiaoshou sent Mu Zixi and Zhu Yike into the Origin Mansion World but left Feng Xiaose outside after deciding he had contributed little to the battle.
• Xu Xiaoshou agreed to let Number Two take the bronze cauldron and Yu Lingdi in exchange for his junior sister and a dead enemy.
• Number Two revived Yu Lingdi using the bronze cauldron and targeted Feng Xiaose as Xu Xiaoshou’s possible contingency plan.
• Feng Xiaose revealed overwhelming sword intent and a blood-red wing that suppressed Xu Xiaoshou and Number Two.
• Feng Xiaose summoned a profound array and unleashed the Myriad Sword Technique’s Second Realm, Wrath of the Great Red God.

Feng Xiaose unleashed the second realm of the Myriad Sword Technique to withstand Number Two, but Xu Xiaoshou realized the move exhausted him and could not serve as an effective attack. After Feng Xiaose negotiated his way out by invoking the political balance between Grey Palace of the Xu Moon and the Holy Spirit Hall, Number Two let him leave Void Island.

• Feng Xiaose summoned the Wrath of the Great Red God, suppressing Number Two and everyone nearby, while Xu Xiaoshou recognized that Feng Xiaose was trembling and bleeding from the strain.
• Number Two entered defense mode and resisted the sword technique’s overwhelming presence, then identified Feng Xiaose as a Ghost Beast Host and asked whether he could still attack.
• Feng Xiaose admitted he had come only to seek an opportunity and argued that killing him could upset the balance between Grey Palace of the Xu Moon and the Holy Spirit Hall.
• Xu Xiaoshou reasoned that Number Two understood the political consequences and had anticipated Feng Xiaose’s plea, while Feng Xiaose’s departure would also frustrate Xu Xiaoshou’s plan to draw him into the conflict.
• Number Two ordered Feng Xiaose to leave the First Hall of Sin and Void Island, and Feng Xiaose escaped through a spatial passage after bidding Master Shou farewell.

Xu Xiaoshou tried to stall Number Two after Feng Xiaose escaped, but the Heavenly Secrets Divine Envoy focused on Mei Suren’s choice to support him and questioned him about Ba Zunan’s plans. Xu Xiaoshou guessed that Saint Slave aimed to unleash Void Island’s Inner Island combat power, and Number Two pressed him to consider whether that was Ba Zunan’s full objective.

• Xu Xiaoshou tried to slip into the spatial passage, but Number Two destroyed his portrait clone and blocked his escape.
• Number Two revealed that he was waiting to see whether Mei Suren would come to save Xu Xiaoshou, and asked when the Seven Sword Immortal had chosen to oppose the Holy Spirit Hall.
• Xu Xiaoshou claimed he was only a chess piece under Ba Zunan’s control and admitted that Ba Zunan had not told him the plan.
• Number Two forced Xu Xiaoshou to discuss Ba Zunan’s objective, warning that he would attack if Xu Xiaoshou showed signs of lying.
• Xu Xiaoshou guessed that Ba Zunan wanted to liberate Void Island’s Inner Island combat power to prepare for a decisive battle with the Holy Spirit Hall.
• Number Two accepted that the reasoning was plausible and asked whether Xu Xiaoshou thought it described Ba Zunan’s entire objective.

Xu Xiaoshou tried to extract information from Number Two while the Heavenly Secrets Divine Envoy questioned him about Ba Zunan, Kong Yuhen, and Water Ghost. After Number Two revived Yu Lingdi and prepared to kill Xu Xiaoshou, Xu offered to join the Holy Spirit Hall, but Number Two ended their game and attacked.

• Xu Xiaoshou realized the Holy Spirit Hall expected Ba Zunan to have a deeper plan, then learned Number Two had two companions.
• Number Two deduced that Xu Xiaoshou had met Ba Zunan at Ancient Past Forget-Worry Pavilion and questioned him about Kong Yuhen.
• Xu Xiaoshou named Water Ghost's flaws, while Number Two gave him the names Yan Wuse and Dao Qiongchang as his companions.
• Number Two fed Saint Blood to Yu Lingdi, allowing him to recover enough to emerge from the bronze cauldron.
• As the Saint Tribulation drew closer, Xu Xiaoshou offered to join the Holy Spirit Hall, but Number Two declared the game over and appeared before him to attack.

Mei Suren realized Xu Xiaoshou’s severed arm meant his student was in danger inside the obscured True Radiance Hall, while Xiao Kongtong also hurried there. Xu Xiaoshou avoided Number Two’s attacks and resisted a trap in the spatial debris flow, but Five Declines of Heaven and Man suddenly appeared and subdued Yu Lingdi.

• Mei Suren mourned over Xu Xiaoshou’s charred arm, then sensed that Xu Xiaoshou might be in danger at the True Radiance Hall and flew there despite his Exile Countdown.
• Xiao Kongtong suspected Xu Xiaoshou had entered a fatal predicament, gathered his immunity items, and headed for the True Radiance Hall while adopting the identity of Ba Zunan.
• Xu Xiaoshou used the Vanishing Art to evade Number Two’s attack and searched the spatial debris flow for Situ Yongen, but Mental Awakening warned him that Number Two had planted a trap.
• Number Two and Yu Lingdi prepared to force Xu Xiaoshou out of hiding, but Number Two noticed an orange figure appear near Yu Lingdi.
• Five Declines of Heaven and Man appeared before Yu Lingdi, froze him with the Five Declines of Heaven and Man, and told him not to resist.

Five Declines of Heaven and Man emerged to control Yu Lingdi and battle Number Two, using his decay powers to threaten the Heavenly Secrets Divine Envoy. After Number Two struck him and exposed his inability to dodge quickly, Five Declines called on Xu Xiaoshou to save him.

• Xu Xiaoshou called for help, and Five Declines of Heaven and Man rushed out to control Yu Lingdi with the Three Aversions Eye.
• Number Two used a Heavenly Secrets inscription to strike, but Yu Lingdi protected Five Declines by drawing him into his body and endured the attack himself.
• Yu Lingdi pleaded with Number Two to kill him while Five Declines taunted Number Two, who eventually kicked Yu Lingdi's head apart.
• Five Declines summoned decaying mist and used the Nodding Rite to attack Number Two's fortune, but Number Two's blows still struck him.
• Number Two predicted Five Declines' retreat and kicked him out of his mist form, destroying his arms, so Five Declines shouted for Xu Xiaoshou to save him.

Xu Xiaoshou and Five Declines of Heaven and Man struggled to coordinate against Number Two, then combined their attacks to stun and blast him away. Five Declines of Heaven and Man used the opening to unleash the Bowing Ritual, which decayed Number Two’s body into falling pieces.

• Number Two overwhelmed Five Declines of Heaven and Man and struck Xu Xiaoshou whenever he tried to approach Yu Lingdi’s headless body.
• Xu Xiaoshou endured Number Two’s attacks while arguing with Five Declines of Heaven and Man, and they realized each had mistaken the other for their hidden trump card.
• Xu Xiaoshou and Five Declines of Heaven and Man synchronized their attacks, and Xu Xiaoshou used the Bloodworld Pearl’s brief distraction to smash Number Two into spatial turbulence with an explosive combination.
• Five Declines of Heaven and Man performed the Bowing Ritual, causing the laws and surroundings to decay and Number Two’s body to crumble into pieces.

Xu Xiaoshou and Five Declines of Heaven and Man tried to escape with Yu Lingdi after Five Declines destroyed Number Two’s physical form. Number Two’s hidden holy blood struck Xu Xiaoshou, then rebuilt the Heavenly Secrets Divine Envoy in a liberated form.

• Five Declines of Heaven and Man warned Xu Xiaoshou to keep away while he struggled to control the Bloodworld Pearl and his decaying power.
• Five Declines of Heaven and Man told Xu Xiaoshou that Number Two might have contingencies, then demanded the Subdimensional Door while Xu Xiaoshou took Yu Lingdi’s body.
• Xu Xiaoshou realized that Number Two had left a drop of holy blood inside Yu Lingdi, and its Silent Extinction Black Beam pierced his chest before Five Declines of Heaven and Man could intervene.
• Number Two’s holy blood halted time and space, then formed an illusory Heavenly Secrets Divine Envoy that absorbed surrounding energy and rebuilt itself in holy armor.
• Number Two requested the removal of its restrictions, and its halo transformed as the liberated Heavenly Secrets Divine Envoy descended.

Number Two transformed into the Heavenly Secrets Divine Envoy and used his superior power and predictions to overpower Xu Xiaoshou and Five Declines of Heaven and Man. Five Declines bought Xu Xiaoshou a chance to escape, but Number Two anticipated their moves and left both pinned by Swords of Holy Judgment.

• Number Two entered Liberation State, released the Heavenly Secrets Lockdown, and wounded Five Declines of Heaven and Man with the purifying Sword of Holy Judgment.
• Xu Xiaoshou evaded Number Two, but Number Two sealed and exiled the space around him, shrinking it until Xu Xiaoshou was trapped within three zhang.
• Five Declines of Heaven and Man returned to shield Xu Xiaoshou, endured Number Two's sword strike, and used Devour to absorb the exile rule so Xu Xiaoshou could escape.
• Xu Xiaoshou broke through the spatial blockade as a Berserk Giant, but Number Two's predicted sword throw pinned him in the void.
• Number Two drew another Sword of Holy Judgment and pierced Five Declines of Heaven and Man, declaring that neither of them had ever had a chance.

Mei Suren arrived in time to save Xu Xiaoshou from Number Two, but Five Declines of Heaven and Man remained trapped by the Sword of Holy Judgment and close to death. As Mei Suren confronted Number Two and prepared to take Xu Xiaoshou away, Xu Xiaoshou chose to stay and asked his teacher to teach him swordsmanship.

• Mei Suren used the Illusion Sword Technique to rescue Xu Xiaoshou from Number Two’s attack and cut apart his Saint Tribulation.
• Xu Xiaoshou learned that Five Declines of Heaven and Man’s injuries were real and that Mei Suren could not safely rescue him while Number Two held him as a hostage.
• Five Declines of Heaven and Man used his Three Aversions Eye to warn Xu Xiaoshou to run, but Mei Suren’s Mental Awakening interrupted him.
• Mei Suren challenged Number Two, shattered the rules imprisoning First Hall of Sin, and demanded permission to take someone away.
• As Mei Suren tried to leave with him, Xu Xiaoshou hesitated over Five Declines of Heaven and Man, then asked Mei Suren to teach him swordsmanship.

Xu Xiaoshou chose to stay with Mei Suren and learn the sword, and Mei Suren demonstrated the combined technique Red Plum Three Flow: Falling Petals Realm against the hidden threats around them. Xu Xiaoshou entered the strange consciousness realm himself, but his appearance triggered a disastrous reaction in Mei Suren and the consciousness bodies nearby.

• Xu Xiaoshou decided that Mei Suren should fight Number Two rather than flee, and asked him to demonstrate any sword technique.
• Mei Suren used Red Plum Three Flow: Falling Petals Realm, reversing reality and consciousness and revealing Jiang Buyi's and Frost Lord's hidden consciousness bodies.
• Mei Suren explained how the technique controlled and isolated bodies and consciousness, then began to demonstrate the Have-and-Have-Not Sword Flow again.
• Xu Xiaoshou entered the Falling Petals Realm in the form of Gods and Buddhas Under Eyes and excitedly told Mei Suren he had succeeded.
• Mei Suren looked back at Xu Xiaoshou and suffered qi deviation as a thought-devil erupted, while Jiang Buyi's and Frost Lord's consciousness fragments convulsed and became tainted by demonic qi.

Xu Xiaoshou regained control of All Eyes Are Demons and learned how the Heart Sword Technique could restore Frost Lord’s consciousness. When Number Two entered the Falling Petals Realm to rescue Jiang Buyi, Mei Suren unleashed a fused sword technique against him.

• Xu Xiaoshou took Mei Suren’s advice, recalled his visualization, and restored control over All Eyes Are Demons.
• Xu Xiaoshou failed to gather Frost Lord’s scattered consciousness, so Mei Suren demonstrated how the Heart Sword Technique’s second realm could restore it; Xu Xiaoshou sent Frost Lord away to recover.
• Xu Xiaoshou struck Jiang Buyi’s consciousness body with Sword Awakening, but Mei Suren stopped him from finishing Jiang Buyi.
• Jiang Buyi called for Number Two’s help, and Number Two entered the Falling Petals Realm in consciousness-rule mode.
• Mei Suren combined Spacetime Leap, Gods and Buddhas Under Eyes, and Azure River Sword Realm, then attacked Number Two with Red Plum’s Three Currents: Azure Time Sword.

Mei Suren taught Xu Xiaoshou how to use the Mo Sword Technique against Number Two inside the Falling Petals Realm, then sealed Number Two and overwhelmed him with a combination of sword arts. The chapter ended with Mei Suren striking Number Two with Red Plum Three-Style: God-Taming Whip, tearing apart his back and destroying countless ancient characters.

• Mei Suren cut through Number Two with the Azure Time Sword, while Number Two absorbed Jiang Buyi’s consciousness body and tried to heal himself.
• Mei Suren explained that Xu Xiaoshou needed the Mo Sword Technique to inflict mental damage in the Falling Petals Realm, and Xu Xiaoshou quickly comprehended its applications.
• Mei Suren used Infinite Enumeration to trap Number Two inside a sword fortress, then filled the formation with the Red Dust Sword’s visions and forced Number Two to bow.
• Mei Suren combined Gods and Buddhas Under Eyes, Infinite Enumeration, Red Dust Sword, Absolute Imperial Rule, and Soul-Controlling Arcane Art against Number Two.
• Mei Suren unleashed Red Plum Three-Style: God-Taming Whip, smashing Number Two’s back and erasing countless ancient characters.

Mei Suren defeated Number Two’s consciousness with Red Plum Three Flow and gave Xu Xiaoshou the Three-Calamity Eyes, but a hidden Half-Saint Profound Decree nearly dissolved Xu Xiaoshou before Mei Suren countered it. Number Two’s remaining ancient characters then called out across Void Island for Yan Wuse to save him.

• Mei Suren whipped Situ Yongen, Jiang Buyi, and Number Two’s consciousness out of Number Two, then broke Number Two’s consciousness-rule form apart with Red Plum Three Flow.
• Xu Xiaoshou recognized Mei Suren’s battle as a lesson in ancient sword arts, and Mei Suren gave him the Three-Calamity Eyes to decide where they should go.
• Mei Suren prepared to extract Jiang Buyi’s remaining Three-Calamity Eyes as the ancient characters “Void,” “Casket,” and “Profound” broke free from Number Two’s scattered consciousness.
• The character “Profound” formed a Half-Saint Profound Decree whose “Dissolve” character overcame Xu Xiaoshou’s Vanishing Art and began dissolving him.
• Mei Suren reversed time with Illusion Sword Technique, Spacetime Leap, restored the decree, and shattered the character “Mystic.”
• Number Two’s remaining character “Void” sent his plea across Void Island: “Yan Wuse, save me!”

Yan Wuse deduced that Ba Zunan’s scheme involved using the tribulation power gathered in the Fallen Abyss to disrupt the Siwu Formation, then took steps to restore the formation and destroy the stored energy. When Number Two called for help against Mei Suren, Yan Wuse sent an angel to cover the formation gaps and unleashed a Sun Wheel in the Fallen Abyss, ending with a threat to everyone on Void Island.

• Yan Wuse investigated the Fallen Abyss, concluded that Ba Zunan’s people had been gathering tribulation power there, and suspected they intended to undo the Siwu Formation.
• Yan Wuse used a formation disk to identify missing cores and Void-Sealing Steles, then sent the goose-crying stele back to its place near the Giant Kingdom.
• Yan Wuse reasoned that Ba Zunan’s plan to undo the formation might be a diversion and considered how Ba Zunan could draw the Holy Spirit Hall into a fight.
• Number Two called Yan Wuse for help while facing Mei Suren, whom Yan Wuse recognized as a Sword Saint.
• Yan Wuse sent an intelligent angel of light with treasures to fill gaps left by the missing cores, then unleashed a Sun Wheel into the Fallen Abyss to consume its accumulated energy.
• Yan Wuse walked through the resulting blaze and warned everyone on Void Island that he would grant their wish to die.

Huangquan attained sainthood and trapped Rao Yaoyao in a looping Time Nation after defeating her with his time-and-space powers. He then rewound events across Void Island and entered the True Radiance Hall battle as a demi-saint, just as Number Two called for Yan Wuse.

• Rao Yaoyao left Huangquan’s tribulation to support Number Two, but Huangquan revealed his Half-Saint Godhood and completed his ascension to sainthood.
• Huangquan overpowered Rao Yaoyao, but she used the Red Dust Sword’s Sword of Desire’s End to strike him before discovering his featureless face and countless spatial reflections.
• Huangquan trapped Rao Yaoyao in Time Nation, where time repeatedly rewound and drove her into a breakdown.
• Huangquan reversed time across Void Island, then used a version of himself from the True Radiance Hall period to replace his past self in the Blood Realm.
• Huangquan regained holy power in True Radiance Hall and entered the battle as a demi-saint just as Number Two called for Yan Wuse to save him.

Xu Xiaoshou and Mei Suren confronted the arrival of Yan Wuse, but Huangquan appeared instead after the light carrying Yan Wuse abruptly retreated. Huangquan secured the survivors and demanded the Subdimensional Door from Yu Lingdi.

• Mei Suren told Xu Xiaoshou that Yan Wuse was an ancient, powerful Half-Saint and explained that Number Two's Profound Void Boxes could shield their holder from Void Island's rules.
• As Yan Wuse's light approached, Mei Suren refused Number Two's offer to leave and warned that another sword strike could kill him.
• A strange crack made Yan Wuse's light retreat, and Huangquan appeared above the ruins instead.
• Huangquan checked on Five Declines of Heaven and Man, confirmed that the Three-Calamity Eyes and Subdimensional Door were present, and told Frost Lord to remind Ba Zunan to repay a favor.
• Huangquan ordered Yu Lingdi to reveal the Subdimensional Door, blew up his head as punishment, and made Yu Lingdi agree to hand it over.

Yu Lingdi and Jiang Buyi tried to bargain with Huangquan by offering the Subdimensional Door, the Three-Calamity Eyes, and information, but Huangquan revealed that he controlled the battlefield and was using their attempts to extract intelligence. After sending Yan Wuse back with his power over time, Huangquan left Jiang Buyi and Yu Lingdi despairing as they realized their lives were in his hands.

• Jiang Buyi objected to Yu Lingdi handing over the Subdimensional Door, and Yu Lingdi accused him of trying to protect himself from losing the Three-Calamity Eyes.
• Jiang Buyi offered Huangquan the Lei Clan Eye and the secrets of the All-Heaven Eye Arts, then blamed Water Ghost for manipulating both him and Yama.
• Huangquan told Jiang Buyi that Water Ghost was Saint Slave Water Ghost, then asked Yu Lingdi whether he had any valuable intelligence to trade for time.
• Huangquan used Myriad Dao Recede to alter the time around the battlefield and send Yan Wuse's incoming light back, while Mei Suren explained how the technique worked.
• Yu Lingdi realized Huangquan was collecting intelligence before eliminating the other sides, and Jiang Buyi broke into mad laughter at Huangquan's ruthless scheme.

Yu Lingdi surrendered the Subdimensional Door to Huangquan, then tried to exploit a vision of a chaotic battle to escape. Huangquan revealed that the apparent events had been contained in his Time Nation, restored the original moment, and began punishing Yu Lingdi for real.

• Huangquan agreed to let Yu Lingdi live if he handed over the Subdimensional Door, and Yu Lingdi revealed it as a golden droplet.
• The Bloodworld Pearl affected everyone, allowing Yu Lingdi to use the Subdimensional Door phantom to erase Mei Suren's Falling Petals Realm and free the trapped consciousnesses.
• Number Two regained his Liberated Form, rescued Situ Yongen and Yu Lingdi, and prompted the others to flee as Jiang Buyi and Frost Lord also tried to escape.
• Mei Suren calmed Xu Xiaoshou, who realized Huangquan was observing the apparent chaos from outside the realm through his Time Nation.
• Huangquan crushed the Time Nation and restored the scene to the moment before Yu Lingdi's attack, then stopped Elder Yan's light from reaching him.
• Huangquan frightened Yu Lingdi, briefly let him believe he was spared, then knocked his head away and declared that it was time to settle the score.
