Chapter Summaries

Lu Feng and Yun Zhuohua entered the Underworld God Prison, where they found prisoners enduring horrific punishments and discovered Yun Zhuohua’s father had been turned into a one-armed Du'e Monk Soldier. A middle-aged Ancient Underworld Race man claimed Yun Zhuohua’s father was guilty and offered to lessen his torment if she took his place, then prepared to reveal her father’s supposed sins.

• Lu Feng recognized the Underworld God statues’ resemblance to an image on the Four Aspects Sinful Karma Cage and warned Yun Zhuohua not to damage them before they descended into the prison.
• Lu Feng and Yun Zhuohua crossed the Karma Corridor and found a dead Elder Jin Zhiwen and a deranged prisoner in cells marked with different Dharma Images.

• Lu Feng stopped Yun Zhuohua as a middle-aged man appeared with four Du'e Monk Soldiers, including a one-armed puppet she recognized as her father.
• The middle-aged man claimed Yun Zhuohua’s father had been tortured for three or four years and demanded that she serve his sentence, then pushed him forward to reveal his alleged sinful karma.

The middle-aged man exposed Yun Tiangang’s crimes to Yun Zhuohua and forced her to choose between taking his punishment or killing his remnant soul. Yun Zhuohua chose to remain in the prison, where she was about to undergo Nethergod’s Sin Scrutiny, while Lu Feng suspected the method was linked to the Four Aspects Sinful Karma Cage.

• The middle-aged man expelled Yun Tiangang’s remnant soul from the Du'e Monk Soldier, and Yun Tiangang warned Yun Zhuohua to run.
• The middle-aged man accused Yun Tiangang of four crimes committed during the expedition to the Fire Abyss secret realm, including sacrificing fellow disciples and concealing the truth.
• Yun Zhuohua challenged the Ancient Underworld Race’s authority to punish her father, and the middle-aged man invoked the Eternal Night Ruins’ principle of using darkness to curb darkness.
• The middle-aged man offered Yun Zhuohua the choice of taking her father’s punishment or erasing his remnant soul, and she chose to take the punishment.
• Yun Zhuohua entered the prison cell for Nethergod’s Sin Scrutiny as Lu Feng wondered whether the method was connected to the Four Aspects Sinful Karma Cage.

Lu Feng watched Lang Sui Yuan use the prison’s formation to scrutinize Yun Zhuohua’s memories, then learned that her father’s crimes had been committed to obtain the Blazing Phoenix Flame and save her. Yun Tiangang’s remnant soul appeared before his daughter as she broke down in guilt.

• Lang Sui Yuan activated the prison formation, and the six-armed Nethergod phantom restrained Yun Zhuohua and drew out her memories.
• Lang Sui Yuan confronted Lu Feng and threatened to keep him in the prison, but reconsidered after Lu Feng showed Chi Liyan’s identity token and explained why he had come.
• Lang Sui Yuan reviewed Yun Zhuohua’s memories and confirmed that she had committed no sin, then explained that Yun Tiangang’s crimes had been meant to secure the Blazing Phoenix Flame for her.
• Yun Zhuohua blamed herself for her father’s suffering, and Lang Sui Yuan released Yun Tiangang’s remnant soul, which comforted her.

Lu Feng and Yun Zhuohua left the Underworld God Prison with Yun Tiangang's remnant soul, only to be confronted by Fu Shuheng, Jin Ge, and their allies. Lu Feng lured Jin Ge's group into the prison's protective array, then defeated the others' attempted ambush and escaped with Yun Zhuohua.

• Lang Sui Yuan spared Yun Zhuohua, returned Yun Tiangang's remnant soul, and explained that the Nine Hells Mark could no longer protect it for long.
• Lang Sui Yuan revealed that Jin Zhiwen had tortured and eaten young girls, and Yun Zhuohua left the prison with Lu Feng.

• Lu Feng directed Jin Ge toward the well, where the Underworld God array attacked and killed several members of the Illusory Sea Pavilion.
• Fu Shuheng urged the survivors to attack Lu Feng, but Lu Feng swiftly struck Jin Ge and Zhang Biao's group, broke their formation, and escaped with Yun Zhuohua.

Lu Feng reached the Eternal Night Ruins’ forbidden ground and secretly watched the gathered sects fight Ancient Underworld Race challengers. The chapter ended with Master Ku Jie discovering that his opponent knew No Form Temple’s long-lost No Form Zen Wheel.

• Jin Ge, Zhang Biao, and Fu Shuheng blamed Lu Feng for disrupting their plans and agreed to target Blazing Phoenix Hall after leaving the ruins.
• Lu Feng parted ways with Yun Zhuohua, who asked to see his true face, then followed Lang Sui Yuan’s directions to the nine dragon-coiled Black Pillars.
• Lu Feng watched six factions gather outside the forbidden ground, where teams had killed Ancient Underworld Race members emerging from its array.
• A scholar-like Ancient Underworld Race member fought Liu Bufan using Xuanji Academy’s Xuanji Three Talents Palm, while a bald challenger fought Master Ku Jie.
• The bald challenger crushed Master Ku Jie with a superior version of No Form Temple’s techniques, and Master Ku Jie recognized the long-lost No Form Zen Wheel.

Master Ku Jie was overwhelmed by an Ancient Underworld Race fighter who wielded lost No Form techniques, while Liu Bufan killed his own opponent and exposed a dispute over the techniques’ origins. The Ancient Underworld Race then revived the fallen fighters as powerful Nine Hells Corpse Puppets, leaving the six factions struggling to survive.

• The Ancient Underworld Race fighter used the No Form Zen Wheel and Flawless Zen Body to overpower Master Ku Jie, while Liu Bufan killed a scholar with the complete Xuanji Three Talents Palm.
• Master Ku Jie and the Ancient Underworld Race fighter argued over whether No Form Temple or the Ancient Underworld Race had originally owned the lost techniques, prompting Lu Feng to question what he knew about the No Form Buddhist Sect’s history.
• Liu Bufan and Yu Yimo called on the groups to attack, but the Ancient Underworld Race fighter declared that his clan intended to leave everyone in the forbidden ground of the Eternal Night Ruins.
• Nether flames transformed the fallen fighters into Nine Hells Corpse Puppets, which attacked the six factions with greater strength and speed than they had possessed in life.
• Lu Feng recognized the puppets’ familiar aura and reasoned that their enhanced power came from burning through the Source Aura they had held in life.

The six factions fought the Nine Hells Corpse Puppets until Chi Liying arrived and overwhelmed Yu Yimo, but the Wisteria Sword Immortal intervened before she could kill him. Chi Liying took Lu Feng into the forbidden ground, while the Wisteria Sword Immortal recognized Lu Feng’s true identity.

• Yu Yimo directed the factions to restrain the corpse puppets, and the Subduing Dragon Court and Binding Dragon Valley used formations and iron chains to pin them down.

• The White Bone Puppets exploded, preventing Liu Bufan and the others from pursuing, while the Wisteria Sword Immortal sensed Lu Feng’s true identity.

Lu Feng entered the Ancient Underworld Race’s forbidden land and was forced to prove his formation skills to its leaders, who planned to kill him regardless of the result. As he examined their formation disk, he recognized its pattern from a formation he had encountered before.

• The Wisteria Sword Immortal identified the forbidden land’s barrier as the Ancient Underworld Race’s legendary Eternal Night Wheel and declined to commit to breaking it.
• Chi Liying led Lu Feng to Lang Sui Yu, while an Ancient Underworld Race member reported that Tian Min Shu’s lineage had taken control of a formation eye near the Dark Abyss Hall.
• Lang Sui Yu and Chi Liying demanded that Lu Feng prove his worth by repairing a formation disk within one hour, threatening to kill him if he failed.
• Chi Liying and Lang Sui Yu privately revealed that they intended to kill Lu Feng either way, but might use the Heart Locking Tribulation to lure him into delaying Tian Min Shu and repairing the grand formation.
• Lu Feng began studying the disk and recognized its pattern as one he had personally encountered before.

Jun Ziya emerged from training, admitted arranging Jun Zi Shuo’s death, and set a bounty on Lu Feng while preparing to enter seclusion. Meanwhile, Lu Feng identified flaws in the Eternal Night Wheel array disk and demanded access to the complete array before agreeing to help the Ancient Underworld Race.

• Jun Ziya admitted to Third Grandma that she had arranged Jun Zi Shuo’s death, and Third Grandma resigned herself to supporting Jun Ziya’s leadership of the Jun Family.
• Jun Ziya asked Jun Ben to spread word that she would remove Lu Feng from the Heaven List and place a personal bounty of six hundred on him, intending to rally the Righteous Path Forces against him.
• Lu Feng finished studying the Burning Heaven Wheel scroll and recognized its relationship to the Eternal Night Wheel array disk.
• Lu Feng identified a deliberately missing pattern and a separate damaged section in the array disk, impressing Chi Liying and Lang Sui Yu with his understanding.
• Lu Feng refused to enter the forbidden ground without first seeing the complete Eternal Night Wheel array diagram, and Chi Liying privately asked Lang Sui Yu whether the Heart Trial truly prevented him from leaving.

Lu Feng studied the Eternal Night Wheel Grand Array and pressed Lang Sui Yu and Chi Liying to reveal the Ancient Underworld Race’s puppet art and history. He learned the Four Aspects Sinful Karma Cage was the clan’s stolen sacred relic and heard their account of the war with the Saint Spirit Race, while remaining focused on completing his deal and escaping.

• Lu Feng quickly memorized the Ancient Scroll, then used the array’s dangers as grounds to ask Lang Sui Yu and Chi Liying for the Nine Hells Corpse Puppet Technique.
• Chi Liying and Lang Sui Yu explained that Tian Min Shu sought the Nine Prisons Token’s soul-based methods, including Sin Illumination, and Lang Sui Yu revealed that the Four Aspects Sinful Karma Cage was the clan’s sacred relic.
• Lang Sui Yu told Lu Feng that the Saint Spirit Race’s Saintess had stolen the Cage under cover of a marriage alliance, while an informant died preventing her from taking the Nine Prisons Token.
• Chi Liying and Lang Sui Yu blamed the Saint Spirit Race for the war, the No Form Buddhist Sect’s exile, and the Ancient Underworld Race’s imprisonment within the Domain Realm.
• Lu Feng privately suspected the collision of the Eternal Night Wheel and Burning Heaven Wheel had created the Domain Realm, then told Lang Sui Yu he cared only about completing their transaction and leaving.

Lu Feng negotiated with Lang Sui Yu and Chi Liying, offering a method to help the Ancient Underworld Race escape the Domain Realm in exchange for his freedom and access to their cultivation arts. Song Heng successfully tested the Conflict Array, giving the clan hope that Lu Feng's plan could work.

• Lu Feng secretly memorized the Nine Prisons Token's records and told Lang Sui Yu and Chi Liying that he had found a way to help their clan leave without repairing the Eternal Night Wheel Grand Array.
• When Lang Sui Yu and Chi Liying moved to seize him, Lu Feng used his special aura and the threat of seeking help from the Tian Min Lineage to bargain for three conditions.
• Lu Feng offered to take thirty clan elites outside using a Conflict Array, then teach them how to help others escape when the Saint Fire Underworld Abyss opened again.
• Lang Sui Yu and Chi Liying accepted Lu Feng's terms, and Song Heng volunteered to test the method; Lu Feng explained that the first batch should be men because the array had to be applied to their bodies.
• Song Heng emerged with the bloodline shackles isolated by the Conflict Array, convincing Lang Sui Yu and Chi Liying that Lu Feng's method worked.

Lu Feng accepted the Heart Locking Tribulation and spent three days strengthening himself and arranging formations for the Ancient Underworld Race. As the Saint Sect and Jun Family issued a Kill Order against him, allies prepared to help, while Ning Xiang learned he was in danger and rushed to save him.

• Lang Sui Yu warned Lu Feng that the Heart Locking Tribulation would suppress his emotions and likely cap his cultivation at Heaven Soul Realm Seven Breaths, but Lu Feng accepted it.
• Lu Feng used several hours of rest to digest his gains, then studied cultivation manuals from other forces and completed twenty-eight formations for the Ancient Underworld Race.

• Ning Xiang learned that Lu Feng was the Kill Order's target and said she had to save him, but a goateed middle-aged man arrived and stopped her.

Ning Xiang unleashed her Maha Poison Body and fled Medicine Valley to gain strength, while Shao Yue and Man Zhongli prepared to seek out Lu Feng despite their sects refusing to intervene officially. After holding off attackers in the Saint Fire Underworld Abyss, Lu Feng sensed it was nearly time to leave and remembered Ghost Doctor Song Ci’s instruction to go to Jiahe City.

• Sword Elder told Man Zhongli that Weapon Sect would not intervene, but promised to accompany him and protect him as he went to aid Lu Feng.
• Lu Feng and Lang Sui Yu's group repelled repeated attacks on Ancient Underworld Race territory with the Eternal Night Wheel Grand Array until the outside forces began withdrawing.
• Lu Feng sensed the Saint Fire Underworld Abyss was about to close and recalled Ghost Doctor Song Ci’s instruction to return to Jiahe City.

• Song Heng warned Lu Feng to honor his promise, but Lu Feng gave him an array diagram to free the Ancient Underworld Race from their restrictions and admitted he had withheld it to secure his escape.

• Lu Feng escaped several li and paused to recover, but the Withering Glory move had broken several ribs, eroded his vitality, and left him looking more than ten years older.

Lu Feng killed Ji Zhao by exploiting a flaw in his saber technique, then used his killing intent and confident words to deter the pursuing experts.

• Lu Feng recognized Ji Zhao of the Heavenly Wolf Sect and chose to fight him as a warning to the other pursuers.
• Lu Feng anticipated Ji Zhao’s saber moves and struck the brief flaw in Wolves Tearing Throats, piercing Ji Zhao’s heart and then killing him with a slash through his head.
• Su Qingxia, the Wisteria Sword Immortal, and the others were shaken by Ji Zhao’s death and Lu Feng’s killing intent as he warned them to stop pursuing him.
• Lu Feng announced that he was heading to Jiahe City, then departed while the pursuers debated what his victory meant.
• The Wisteria Sword Immortal found Turbid Qi congested in Ji Zhao’s chest and concluded that Lu Feng had exploited a flaw, so he and the others decided to follow him.

At the gorge exit, Lu Feng's allies gathered and were barred from joining the encirclement, leaving Jun Ben questioning whether Lu Feng was truly the evil demonic cultivator he had heard about.

• Mo Qianqiu used the Twelve Void Clarity Appraisal Technique to inspect Lu Feng's ten arrays and discovered that the innermost auxiliary arrays might help Lu Feng break through.
