Chapter Summaries

After the rise of five Sages, Di Jun sought Nuwa’s support while Hong Yun tried to flee to Wuzhuang Temple with his Hong Meng Purple Qi. Kunpeng and other cultivators attacked him, and Hong Yun destroyed himself to keep them from claiming it, leaving the Qi’s whereabouts unknown.

• Di Jun and Taiyi visited Nuwa, who acknowledged her ties to the Yao Tribe but declined to help them directly.

After Hong Yun's death, Li Yi constructed a virtual Heavenly Dao in his inner world with help from the Main Body's rule imprints and his Reincarnation Intent. The construction succeeded, but it triggered a vast lightning tribulation above the Underworld, leaving Li Yi shocked and uncertain what would happen next.

• After hearing of Hong Yun's death, Zhen Yuanzi slew dozens of the surviving attackers and fought Eastern Emperor Tai Yi for three days and nights without a victor.

• A massive tribulation cloud gathered above the Blood Sea, alarming the Underworld and cultivators across the Primordial World, while Di Jun and Taiyi hoped it would strike the Underworld.
• Li Yi saw the tribulation cloud and feared that constructing the virtual Heavenly Dao had caused it.

Li Yi faced a terrifying Lightning Tribulation after constructing a virtual Heavenly Dao and moved far from the Blood Sea to fight it. When the tribulation unleashed the Thunder of Destruction and a Vengeful Soul Tide, Li Yi manifested his Real World to resist, leaving their clash unresolved.

• Li Yi moved tens of millions of miles away from the Blood Sea, and the thunderclouds followed him as beings across the Primordial World watched.
• Li Yi summoned a mountain of radiant swords and sent it crashing into the thunderclouds, which formed savage beasts from lightning to attack him.
• Li Yi used World Reincarnation to grind away the thunder beasts, but a fissure opened in the clouds and unleashed the Thunder of Destruction.
• Li Yi summoned his Real World and merged with it, forming a colossal face as black lightning and resentment filled the sky.
• The resentment formed a Vengeful Soul Tide that charged the colossal face, which blew out Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water to meet it.
• The Vengeful Soul Tide and Li Yi's attack shattered space as destructive lightning spread, and the battle continued.

Li Yi swallowed the Destructive Lightning Sea, gained the Origin Rune of Destructive Lightning, and advanced to Half-step Primordial Chaos. He restored the land, left behind a Lightning Divine Ability for cultivators to study, and vanished, while Lao Zi wondered whether Li Yi was hiding a plan.

As the Witch-Yao war approached, the Yao discovered that human souls could heal their damaged soul origins, and Di Jun decided to target the Human Race despite the risks. Nuwa and Lao Zi did not answer Di Jun and Taiyi, while Li Yi chose not to intervene in the crisis's early stages.

• Nuwa concealed Wa Huang Tian, and neither she nor Lao Zi answered Di Jun's appeal for understanding.
• Li Yi sensed the danger to the Human Race and decided to leave its early tribulation unchecked.

The demons launched a devastating assault on the Human Race settlements, nearly wiping out the newborn race while Li Yi watched from the Underworld and struggled to hold back. When about half the humans had fallen, Li Yi sent the Ancient Sword to the East Sea, turning the battle and forcing Di Jun to plead with Nuwa for help.

• Demon armies attacked Human Race settlements, and a Demon King crushed and scattered hundreds of thousands of human cultivators.

• The Ancient Sword crushed the demons, formed a wheel that gathered the fallen humans' souls, and swept sword qi toward the survivors.
• Di Jun and Taiyi kept their distance from the wheel, and Di Jun pleaded with Nuwa to save the Demon Race.

As the ten-year truce between the Witch and Yao Tribes neared its end, Hou Yi attacked the ten Golden Crow princes after their reckless flight scorched the Primordial World. He shot down nine of them, and the last Golden Crow cried out as a powerful presence descended.

• Hou Yi shot down nine Golden Crows, and the last prince wept over his brothers as an immense pressure descended from the heavens.

Di Jun attacked Houyi to avenge his nine sons, but Houyi survived long enough for Dijiang, Gonggong, and Houtu to intervene. With the ten-thousand-year truce ended, the Witch and Yao Tribes prepared for their final battle, while Hongjun resolved to seal away a threat to himself.

The ten-thousand-year deadline arrived, and the Witch and Yao Tribes launched their final war, slaughtering one another across a devastated battlefield. As the fighting continued, Tongtian, Yuanshi, and Lao Zi watched from the clouds, and Yuanshi began to imagine building a sect that would endure through the ages.

With both sides exhausted, the Twelve Ancestral Witches chose to self-destruct against the Yao Tribe while leaving elite forces behind, and the explosions shattered Buzhou Mountain and split the sky open.

• The Pangu Phantom formed a giant axe from the Primordial World’s baleful energy and battled the Star Gods’ Starlight Great Dao and universe, devastating the battlefield.

• Witch warriors joined the self-destruction, blasting apart the Buzhou Mountain Range and opening a vast fissure in the sky through which Nine Heavens Drowning Water poured.

After the Witch and Yao Tribes destroyed each other, Hongjun used the chaos around the broken heavens to drain the Primordial World's origin power into four Sealing Talismans. As Li Yi protected the Human Race from the floods, he sensed a mortal threat and suspected Hongjun and another hidden enemy were targeting him or his Main Body.

• The Witch Clan self-destructed and wiped out nearly the entire Yao Clan, while Nuwa saved only a wisp of her elder brother's soul; the Chaos Bell was missing from the battlefield.
• The Nine Heavens Drowning Water poured through the widening rift, and the Three Pure Ones and the other Sages began repairing the heavens.
• Hongjun summoned the Four Great Sacred Beasts and transformed them into four Purple Talismans that absorbed the Primordial World's origin power, causing its Spiritual Qi to rapidly decline.
• While protecting the Human Race in the Netherworld Underworld, Li Yi sensed mortal danger and concluded that Hongjun and another hidden enemy might be plotting against him or his Main Body.

• Li Yi revealed three pairs of enormous wings and the real world within his sea of consciousness.

Li Yi fought Hongjun’s attacks and tried to escape the Primordial World, but he was forced to detonate Real World to break through the Windfire Layer. Main Body rescued him and sent him to the Witch God Plane, then unleashed an overwhelming aura that terrified the Primordial World’s inhabitants.

• Hongjun formed a sword of rules and struck at Li Yi, who used Real World to block it and was wounded when Hongjun’s giant sword overwhelmed the world.

• Main Body released a terrifying aura that suppressed the chaos energy and forced beings throughout the Primordial World, including the Three Pure Ones, to struggle under its pressure.

Hongjun and Yang Mei confronted the Main Body in the Chaos, launching a coordinated attack that he easily repelled. They transformed into their Chaos Demon God True Bodies, leaving the Primordial World’s Sages to realize the vast gulf between themselves and the three combatants.

• Hongjun and Yang Mei returned to human form, gravely wounded, and Hongjun asked whether they had succeeded while Yang Mei remained uneasy.

The Main Body broke free of Hongjun and Yang Mei’s restraints and prepared to unleash a devastating attack. Hongjun extracted a kalpa’s worth of fortune from the Primordial World to empower a new sealing talisman, and the confrontation resumed with both sides unleashing their full strength.

• The Main Body manifested the Great Dao Law Chains, shattered the purple chains, and broke through Yang Mei’s Green Vine Cage, injuring Yang Mei and striking Hongjun.
• As the Main Body prepared his attack, Hongjun used the Jade Butterfly of Creation to extract a kalpa’s worth of fortune from the Primordial World, unleashing disasters and drawing the Heavenly Dao’s attention.
