Chapter Summaries

Dao Qiongchang deduced that Yue Gongli had descended to the First Heaven to seek his help, then wagered with Xu Xiaoshou that his theory was right. Xu Xiaoshou secretly searched for Yue Gongli and instead spotted Mo Mo and the Sealing-Heaven Saint Emperor near the Reincarnation Heaven-Ascending Pillar.

• Dao Qiongchang argued that the weakened Sui Yin Evil God had gained leverage over Yue Gongli and that Yue had come to form an alliance with him.

• Mo Mo reluctantly tossed the God-Sealing Coffin to Yue Gongli, who declared that Hua Yuan now belonged to him.
• Xu Xiaoshou stomped the coffin into the ground and mocked Feng Yujin for acting cowardly toward a Half-Saint.

Xu Xiaoshou answered Feng Yujin’s taunts by summoning Saint Slave allies and the Eighth Sword Immortal, whose apparent arrival turned out to be Dao Qiongchang in disguise. Dao Qiongchang then openly called Xu Xiaoshou “my Xu” and promised to offer him counsel, leaving Yue Gongli furious and bewildered.

• Yue Gongli realized Dao Qiongchang had aligned himself with Xu Xiaoshou and shouted, “Dao Nitian, you unfilial brat, what are you trying to do?!”

Xu Xiaoshou persuaded Dao Qiongchang to join his side, then provoked Yue Gongli until he attacked with the Demon-Splitting Axe. Xu escaped by swapping places with Dao Qiongchang, leaving him to face Yue Gongli, whose rampage appeared to be heading toward the Reincarnation Heaven-Ascending Pillar.

• Xu Xiaoshou explained why Dao Qiongchang had left the Holy Spirit Hall and pledged his support, winning over the watching crowd.

• Xu Xiaoshou used the Grand Swap Art to escape and leave Dao Qiongchang in Yue Gongli’s path, and Yue repeatedly struck Dao with the axe.
• Xu Xiaoshou noticed Yue Gongli’s attack was carrying him toward the Reincarnation Heaven-Ascending Pillar.

Xu Xiaoshou and Dao Qiongchang discovered that Yue Gongli was being controlled by Sui Yin Evil God, and Dao Qiongchang used the Great Stripping Technique to free him from the Evil God's Eye and an Ancestor Tree branch. Sui Yin Evil God attacked the First Heaven, but Xu Xiaoshou fought back and ended the chapter by declaring himself Dao Qiongchang.

• Dao Qiongchang struck the Reincarnation Heaven-Ascending Pillar but withdrew his Holy power, leaving it unresponsive, while Xu Xiaoshou watched and suspected a hidden scheme.

• Dao Qiongchang stripped Sui Yin's Eye and an Ancestor Tree branch from Yue Gongli, triggering Sui Yin Evil God's shriek that killed over a thousand spirit cultivators and targeted Yu Mo.

• Xu Xiaoshou taunted Sui Yin Evil God while calling himself Dao Qiongchang, leaving Dao Qiongchang furious as the Evil God's face broke apart.

Xu Xiaoshou nearly killed Yue Gongli but spared him after Dao Qiongchang intervened and severed the Evil God's hold over him. Yue Gongli warned that the Evil God was coming, and the chapter ended as a strange pregnancy curse spread through the survivors, even transforming Dao Qiongchang.

• Xu Xiaoshou confronted the battered Yue Gongli, who offered cooperation and claimed the Evil God could resurrect him through his soul blood.
• After Elder Sang urged him to kill Yue Gongli, Xu Xiaoshou stabbed him repeatedly, but Dao Qiongchang stopped the final blow and repaired Yue Gongli while severing his connection to the soul blood.
• Yue Gongli warned Xu Xiaoshou that the Evil God was coming, and Dao Qiongchang realized the threat might not be descending from the heavens.
• The flattened Six-Marrow Corpse King swelled back up, and the survivors' bellies began expanding as they acted as if they were pregnant.
• Xu Xiaoshou saw that Dao Qiongchang was covered in swollen lumps of flesh and realized the pregnancy phenomenon affected his entire body.

Xu Xiaoshou and the others traced the bizarre pregnancies to Saint-Infant Bearing Plant hidden in the God-Sealing Coffin, where Hua Yuan's soul hung among her victims. The plant escaped and sacrificed the First Heaven to open the Heavenly Realm and summon Sui Yin.

• Elder Sang and the others failed to find Saint-Infant Bearing Plant, while Dao Qiongchang created a Life Forbidden Zone that cured the affected spirit cultivators.

• Saint-Infant Bearing Plant chanted to open the Heavenly Realm and summon Sui Yin.

As the First Heaven collapsed and the Sui Yin Evil God’s passage opened, Feng Yujin used Mo Mo to steal a Half-Saint Godhood and began helping her attain sainthood. The Saint-Infant Bearing Plant then gave birth to a Dao Infant resembling Shen Yi, which the Sui Yin Evil God empowered before asking who Dao Qiongchang was.

• The Saint-Infant Bearing Plant’s sacrificial array shattered the First Heaven’s rules and began joining the Heavenly Realms, while Xu Xiaoshou blamed Yue Gongli for bringing Hua Yuan into the realm.
• Feng Yujin took control of Mo Mo, sent her to the Saint-Infant Bearing Plant, and had her steal a Half-Saint Godhood before Xu Xiaoshou pulled her back to safety.
• Feng Yujin began Mo Mo’s ascension to sainthood and promised to shield her from the Saint Tribulation as Xu Xiaoshou, Dao Qiongchang, and Yue Gongli prepared to hold off the Sui Yin Evil God.
• The Saint-Infant Bearing Plant gave birth to a Dao Infant bearing thirty-two Half-Saint Godhoods and the appearance of Shen Yi, who rapidly matured into a man.
• The Sui Yin Evil God’s purple light possessed Dao Infant Shen Yi, giving him an Ancestor Tree wing and Sui Yin’s Eye before he asked who Dao Qiongchang was.

• Elder Sang attacked Evil God Shen Yi but was killed, and Water Ghost then tried to possess Evil God before five ancestral powers burst him apart.
• Xu Xiaoshou stopped Cen Qiaofu from charging in, but he too was targeted; he escaped Evil God’s finger flick with Vanishing Art as Dao Qiongchang tried to protect him.
• Evil God Shen Yi locked onto Xu Xiaoshou near the Reincarnation Heaven-Ascending Pillar, formed a seal with two fingers, and invoked several techniques and forbidden arts.

Evil God Yi trapped Xu Xiaoshou in a reversed reality, but Xu Xiaoshou escaped its killing strike with Time Reversal and disappeared from everyone’s memory. Dao Qiongchang deduced that Evil God Yi was limited, only to find himself marked as its next target by a Recording Pearl planted by Xu Xiaoshou.

• Evil God Yi used Rootless Phase Eye and Reality-Illusion Transmutation to isolate Xu Xiaoshou from the world, then restrained him with Divine Restraint and drained his power with Clearpath Sorrowful Wind Technique.
• Dao Qiongchang deduced that Evil God Yi’s displayed strength concealed serious limits, while Xiao Qi warned him that he was about to be possessed; Dao Qiongchang accepted the possession and ordered the newcomer to stall.

• Dao Qiongchang crushed the Recording Pearl, then asked Evil God Yi whether it would believe him if he claimed not to be Dao Qiongchang.

After the Evil God apparently destroyed Dao Qiongchang with one finger, Feng Yujin possessed Dao Qiongchang’s Heavenly Mechanism Puppet and revealed himself in the Sealing-Heaven Saint Emperor’s body. Using the puppet’s systems to raise his power toward Saint Emperor level, Feng Yujin prepared to test himself against the Evil God.

Feng Yujin used Dao Qiongchang’s Heavenly Secrets Divine Envoy to fight Evil God Yi, surviving the god’s attacks by activating its Liberated State. Evil God Yi then claimed the Overlord staff and opened the Asura Path, preparing to test its War Ancestor’s Power against Feng Yujin’s Holy Ancestor’s Power.

• Feng Yujin took control of the Heavenly Secrets Divine Envoy and attacked Evil God Yi, but his enhancements overloaded under the god’s counterattack.

• Evil God Yi summoned the Nine Supreme Divine Artifact Overlord, overpowered its resistance, and transformed into a three-headed, six-armed form by opening the Asura Path.

Xu Xiaoshou watched Evil God Shen Yi slaughter the Life Forbidden Zone and realized the world’s powerful were still slaves if they could not resist those above them. As Shen Yi turned on Yue Gongli, the fox-faced man invoked his Moon Clan heritage and invited the Holy Ancestor to descend.

• Xu Xiaoshou concluded that Shen Yi was deteriorating and could be stalled, but Feng Yujin could not withstand his assault with Overlord.
• Shen Yi destroyed Feng Yujin’s body, forcing his soul to flee toward the Eighteenth Heaven, then chose to massacre the people in the Life Forbidden Zone instead of pursuing him.
• Shen Yi killed Changyi, Bai Yu, and many others while Xu Xiaoshou watched from World-Apart Independence and held Mo Mo’s headless body.
• Xu Xiaoshou understood the struggle for freedom behind Ba Zunan’s words and saw how even Half-Saints could become powerless slaves.
• As Shen Yi attacked Yue Gongli, Cen Qiaofu, and Bai Zhou, Yue Gongli revealed his Moon Clan power and invited the Holy Ancestor to descend.

• Xu Xiaoshou used Passive Fist on Evil God Yi, and the force of the punch also engulfed Dao Qiongchang.

• Yue Gongli revealed that the Ancestor Tree Saint-Infant had withheld Xu Xiaoshou’s identity from Sui Yin Evil God, suggesting she might be willing to turn against him.
• Yue Gongli agreed to handle the Ancestor Tree Saint-Infant, while Dao Qiongchang admitted he could not defeat Sui Yin Evil God’s true body and proposed rescuing Shen Yi from the Thirty-Third Heaven.
• Xu Xiaoshou considered Dao Qiongchang’s proposal and asked Yue Gongli whether he had ever seen a silver wall.

Cao Erzhu remained imprisoned in the Thirty-Third Heaven while Uncle explained their soul symbiosis, and he refused the Saint-Infant Bearing Plant’s demand that Shen Yi submit to Sui Yin. Sui Yin ordered the Tree Mother to prepare a Dao Infant for another descent, and she sacrificed her last reserve as the Evil God recognized it as Ran Ming.

• Cao Erzhu resisted the living branches by shouting, while Uncle revealed that he was borrowing Cao Erzhu’s body through Hell Path soul symbiosis after using Self-Sacrifice against Sui Yin.
• The Saint-Infant Bearing Plant offered Shen Yi freedom and power if he submitted to Sui Yin, but Cao Erzhu repeated his defiant slogan on Uncle’s behalf.
• The Tree Mother reported Shen Yi’s refusal and suggested releasing one of the groups they had captured, but Sui Yin blasted her and demanded a Dao Infant to descend to the lower realm.
• The Tree Mother admitted she could no longer obtain Shen Yi’s Dao Infant and revealed that she still had one reserve, then carved it from her own spirit body.
• Sui Yin focused on the Dao Infant as the Thirty-Third Heaven shook, and it whispered, “Long time no see, Ran Ming...”

Saint Emperor Wangze remained trapped in the Ancient Past Forget-Worry Pavilion while Kong Yuhen slowly carved wooden statues and Huangquan sat in silence. When Wangze saw that Huangquan’s unmasked face resembled Kong Yuhen exactly, he discovered he could pass through both men and the pavilion door, and ended the chapter screaming to escape.

• Saint Emperor Wangze demanded to leave the pavilion after enduring Kong Yuhen’s carving for seven or eight days, but Kong Yuhen told him to sit and continued carving.
• Wangze destroyed the tea table, statue display, and stairs in an attempt to escape, but the pavilion’s clock restored everything.
• Wangze recalled ancient records describing Kong Yuhen as a mysterious traveler through time and decided not to make an enemy of him.
• Kong Yuhen finished enough of Huangquan’s statue to reveal an unmasked face identical to his own, shocking Wangze.
• Wangze tried to strike Huangquan and Kong Yuhen, but his hands passed through them, and he then frantically pounded on a door he could not touch.

Xu Xiaoshou’s group reached the ruined Eighteenth Heaven and struggled to stay united as Sui Yin Evil God’s guidance sowed distrust among them. Xu Xiaoshou took command, and Dao Qiongchang found no anomaly in Yue Gongli’s axes, leaving the group to suspect that someone among them had been compromised.

• Xu Xiaoshou and the others crossed the passage back to the Eighteenth Heaven after five hours, where Dao Qiongchang worried about the Evil God and questioned Yue Gongli about his axes.
• Elder Sang and Water Ghost spread their powers to scout, while Cen Qiaofu and Yue Gongli nearly clashed and Dao Qiongchang despaired over the group’s disunity.

• Xu Xiaoshou handed the Godslayer Axe and Demon-Splitting Axe to Dao Qiongchang, who inspected them and found no anomaly despite suspecting that their lack of a problem was itself suspicious.
• Bai Zhou pointed at Yue Gongli and questioned whether he had been holding the group back, prompting everyone to wonder whether someone among them had been compromised.

Dao Qiongchang tested Bai Zhou for Evil God's influence, apologized after Xu Xiaoshou intervened, and the group followed the Six-Marrow Corpse King's discovery to the Life Command Divine Hall. When Dao Qiongchang sent Xiao Qi inside to scout, a woman in black emerged and dragged him into the plaque.

• Dao Qiongchang secretly planted Heavenly Mechanism particles in Bai Zhou to test for Evil God's Power, found no trace, and apologized after Xu Xiaoshou made him bow.

• Dao Qiongchang summoned Heavenly Secret Sprite Xiao Qi and kicked it into the plaque to scout, triggering a glow and a scream from within.
• A graceful woman in black emerged from the plaque, trapped Dao Qiongchang against her chest, and dragged him into the Life Command Divine Hall.
