Chapter Summaries

Luo Qing defeated Grand Immortal Yang Mei and took the Hollow Willow and its treasures, but he suspected Yang Mei might not be entirely dead. Far away, Yang Mei’s Good Corpse escaped with a hidden Willow Sapling that held Yang Mei’s voice.

• Luo Qing pierced Yang Mei with the Mysterious Dragon Demon-Slaying Sword and trapped him inside a Hunyuan fireball.
• The flames destroyed Yang Mei’s body and primordial spirit, leaving a charred Hollow Willow that Luo Qing collected along with its hidden treasures.
• Luo Qing searched the Chaos Void for Yang Mei’s Space Dao and Good Corpse but found no trace, leaving him unsure whether Yang Mei had fully died.
• Luo Qing turned toward a distant Chaos Divine Mountain as Yang Mei’s Good Corpse fled elsewhere with a Willow Sapling.
• Yang Mei’s Good Corpse complained that Yang Mei had ignored his warning about Ancestor Hongjun, and Yang Mei’s voice from the sapling told him to shut up.

Luo Qing discovered a Chaos Purple Luo Vine in Grand Immortal Yang Mei’s cave and brought it back to the Hua Tian World. After restoring the world’s vitality and entrusting its affairs to Huang Ting, he resumed merging with his Inner Self World to pursue Peak Quasi-Sage cultivation and become the first Sage after Hongjun Dao Ancestor.

• Grand Immortal Yang Mei blamed Hongjun for killing his Main Body and set off with his Good Corpse into the Chaos Void to seek allies among the Chaos Demon Gods.
• Luo Qing entered Yangmei’s cave in the Chaos Mountain, found the Chaos Purple Luo Vine, and took the vine, Yangmei’s remains, and the mountain away.
• Luo Qing returned to the Hua Tian Great Thousand World, placed Long Ling’s sacred Dragon Egg in the Origin Ocean, and transplanted the Chaos Purple Luo Vine beside the Three Lights Divine Lake.

As the Witch Clan prepared to attack Kunlun Mountain and the Demon Court, Luo Qing finished a long period of cultivation and confronted the Five Colors Human Race’s stagnation. He ordered them to spread across the Transformation Heaven World and reproduce, while deciding to eventually merge them into the Postnatal Human Race.

• Ancestral Witch Di Jiang said the Witch Clan would attack Kunlun Mountain once Zhurong reached the Quasi-Sage realm, then challenge the Demon Court for the Mandate of Heaven.
• Luo Qing cultivated for nearly a hundred thousand years, fusing with half of his inner selves as the Transformation Heaven Great Thousand World recovered and flourished.
• Long Ling told Luo Qing that the Five Colors Human Race had grown to more than one hundred million but had lost its fighting spirit and reproduced too slowly.
• Luo Qing surveyed the world and ordered Long Ling to have the Five Colors Human Race disperse across it and produce as many descendants as possible.
• Luo Qing concluded that the Five Colors Human Race lacked the potential to develop further and decided to integrate them into the future Postnatal Human Race.

Zhurong broke through to Quasi-Sainthood by claiming the Chi Huo Shangdi Position, prompting Luo Qing to recognize that the Witch Clan would soon target him and that the Great Dao of Fire could no longer raise him or Ancestor Huang. Luo Qing prepared to act against the Ancestor Witches and summoned Long Ling to collect Quintessential Blood from every member of the Five Colors Human Race.

• Zhurong attained Quasi-Sainthood, and the twelve Ancestor Witches revealed that all of them had reached the Quasi-Sage realm.
• Luo Qing sensed Zhurong’s new Chi Huo Shangdi Dharma Form and realized it had occupied the Great Dao of Fire’s sole source, blocking further Divine Dao advancement for him and Ancestor Huang.
• Luo Qing anticipated the Witch Clan’s attack and decided to teach the Ancestor Witches a lasting lesson.
• Luo Qing inspected the Five Colors Human Race and found that its population had grown to nearly three billion, while its numbers of powerful cultivators had risen far more slowly.
• Luo Qing summoned Long Ling and ordered her to collect one drop of Quintessential Blood from every member of the Five Colors Human Race.

Luo Qing gathered quintessential blood from the Five Colors Human Race to investigate how it could restrain Ancestral Witch Bodies and help him forge a Witch-Slaying Spiritual Treasure. His experiments with Huang Ting’s Ancestral Witch Blood revealed that Huang Ting’s inherited human bloodline might explain why the blood had no obvious effect on him.

• Long Ling recruited Shu Dao Ren, Kong Xuan, and the Five Colors Human Race’s ancestors to collect one drop of quintessential blood from each of its three billion members.
• Long Ling delivered the gathered blood to Luo Qing, who rewarded her with three Innate Spiritual Treasures, which she kept for herself.
• Luo Qing examined the blood, seeking a substance that could restrain Quasi-Sage Ancestor Witches and help him forge a Witch-Slaying Spiritual Treasure.
• Luo Qing summoned Huang Ting and compared a drop of his Ancestral Witch Blood with the Five Colors Human Race’s blood, but found no obvious restraining effect.
• Luo Qing realized Huang Ting’s mixed Witch and human bloodline distinguished him from the Twelve Ancestor Witches and connected to the later intermarriage between the Witch Clan and the Human Race.

Luo Qing discovered and mass-produced Witch Calamity Light, then forged a Crimson Gold Witch-Slaying Sword as the Witch-Apocalypse Calamity approached. He decided to intercept the Ancestral Witches himself, while Xihua guarded his home.

• Luo Qing identified the Human Race blood components that suppressed Witch blood and named their combination Witch Calamity Light.
• Luo Qing considered why the Primordial World might instinctively resist Pangu’s bloodline, then set aside those questions as beyond his current cultivation.
• Luo Qing forged a Crimson Gold Witch-Slaying Sword from Fusang Divine Wood, Hollow Willow branches, and Witch Calamity Light, and tested its power.
• Luo Qing learned that Luo Xuan would need one Kalpa Cycle to reach the Quasi-Sage realm, so he asked Xihua to guard his home.
• Luo Qing decided to intercept the Ancestral Witches and teach the Witch Clan a painful lesson.

Luo Qing detected the Witch Clan’s secret attack and moved to intercept ten Ancestral Witches before they reached Kunlun Mountain. After alerting Heavenly Court to the Witch Clan’s strength, he confronted the hidden attackers and struck first.

• Luo Qing sensed killing intent from Buzhou Mountain, retrieved the Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd, and set out toward the approaching Ancestral Witches.
• Fairy Xihua sent Luo Qing the Kunlun Mirror, which he took with him as he traveled away from Kunlun Mountain.
• Luo Qing warned Heavenly Court that all twelve Ancestral Witches had reached the Quasi-Sage realm and that ten were heading to kill him.
• Demon Emperor Di Jun summoned Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Kunpeng, and the eight Demon Saints, resolving to attack Witch God Mountain if a battle erupted near Kunlun Mountain.
• Luo Qing used the Eye of the Great Dao to find Di Jiang and the other nine Ancestral Witches concealed in space, then unleashed a sword strike and challenged them.

Luo Qing exposed the Ancestral Witches’ plan to ambush him and lured them into the Starry Sky for battle. After the ten Ancestral Witches surrounded and attacked him, Luo Qing struck Zhurong with the Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd, burning away both of his arms.

• Luo Qing charged Zhurong and fired the Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd, shattering Zhurong’s protective treasure and turning both his arms to ash.

Luo Qing fought the Ten Ancestral Witches in the void Star Sea, severely wounding Zhu Rong with the Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd but becoming locked in a prolonged stalemate. After the battle devastated the surrounding stars and the Primordial Great Land, Demon Emperor Di Jun learned of it and ordered the Heavenly Court to mobilize against the witches.

• Luo Qing shattered Zhu Rong's Ancestral Witch Body with the Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd and escaped the Ancestral Witches' encirclement.
• Di Jiang and the other Ancestral Witches pursued Luo Qing, while Luo Qing used his treasures and speed to withstand their attacks.
• Luo Qing and the Ten Ancestral Witches fought across the void Star Sea, destroying stars and causing countless meteors to devastate the Primordial Great Land.
• After nearly a month of fighting, the Demon clan's Heavenly Court learned that the Ten Ancestral Witches were battling Luo Qing.
• Demon Emperor Di Jun ordered the myriad demons and Heavenly Soldiers to assemble and follow him to exterminate the witches.

After more than a month of battle, Di Jiang and the Ancestral Witches formed the Twelve Dutian Divine Fiend Great Array to confront Luo Qing. Luo Qing unleashed the Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd, and the chapter ended as the Pangu Phantom swung its giant ax at him.

• Di Jiang ordered the Ancestral Witches to form their array, and Zhurong proposed threatening Luo Qing’s disciples and Dao Field at Kunlun Mountain if he fled.
• Luo Qing detected the Ancestral Witches’ plan and chose to let them form the array so he could test its power.
• Di Jiang used incarnations of Houtu and Xuan Ming to complete the twelve-member formation, which summoned a Pangu Phantom and crushed the surrounding Star Sea.
• Luo Qing expanded the Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd into a colossal mountain and spread a vast web of Black Thunder across the battlefield.
• The Ancestral Witches united their wills and blood qi, then brought the Pangu Phantom’s giant ax down toward Luo Qing and the Thunder Gourd.

Luo Qing used the Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd to confront the Twelve Dutian Divine Fiend Great Array, but the Pangu Phantom’s axe overpowered it and forced him to retreat. The array weakened when Houtu and Xuan Ming’s incarnations collapsed, and Luo Qing learned that Di Jun had attacked Witch God Mountain.

• Luo Qing’s Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd unleashed a torrent of thunder, but the Pangu Phantom’s axe split through it and threatened Thunder Gourd Mountain.
• Luo Qing escaped billions of kilometers away with the Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd as the axe blade continued through the Star Sea before dissipating.
• Di Jiang ordered the Ancestral Witches to prepare another strike while Luo Qing worried that they might turn toward Kunlun Mountain and endanger Hua Tian Peak.
• Houtu and Xuan Ming’s weakening incarnations destabilized the array, allowing Luo Qing to destroy its weakened second axe blade with three bolts of thunder.
• Di Jiang demanded to know what had happened, and Houtu’s incarnation disappeared before Xuan Ming revealed that Di Jun had led the demon clan’s Heavenly Court to attack Witch God Mountain.

The Demon Clan attacked Witch God Mountain while Di Jiang and the other Ancestral Witches were confronting Luo Qing, forcing them to abandon their pursuit and rush back to defend their clan.

• Luo Qing decided to pursue the retreating Ancestral Witches and armed himself with the Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd and Witch-Slaying Sword.
• Zhu Jiuyin sensed Luo Qing behind them, and Luo Qing unleashed black thunder and the Witch-Slaying Sword against their weakened formation.

Luo Qing used the Witch-Slaying Sword and Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd to break the Ancestral Witches’ formation and severely wound Zhurong and Ju Mang. Di Jiang ordered the Ancestral Witches to retreat toward the Primordial Great Land, while Luo Qing continued pursuing them.

• The Witch-Slaying Sword cut down the Pangu Phantom, breaking the Dutian Divine Fiend Great Array and making the Ancestral Witches suffer its backlash.
• Luo Qing’s thunder blinded the Ancestral Witches, allowing the Witch-Slaying Sword to sever Zhurong and Ju Mang at the waist and damage their divine souls and spirits.
• Zhu Jiuyin identified the Witch-Slaying Sword as the cause of the array’s destruction and the two Ancestral Witches’ injuries.
• Ju Mang accused Luo Qing of trying to stop the Ancestral Witches from returning to Witch God Mountain, and Zhurong proposed fighting him to the death.
• Di Jiang rebuked Zhurong and ordered the Ancestral Witches to retreat together under the protection of their Defensive Spirit Treasures.
• Luo Qing watched the Ancestral Witches retreat, then followed them with the Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd and Witch-Slaying Sword.

Luo Qing crippled most of the Ten Ancestral Witches during a months-long pursuit, then stopped when they reached Buzhou Mountain, hoping the weakened Witch Clan would lose the First Witch-Demon War. At Witch God Mountain, the Demon Race pressed its siege, and Xuan Ming charged Eastern Emperor Taiyi in a desperate bid to avenge her people.

• Luo Qing killed Shebishi, Tian Wu, Gonggong, and Qiang Liang while chasing the Ten Ancestral Witches toward Buzhou Mountain.
• Luo Qing stopped pursuing the Ancestral Witches at Buzhou Mountain and headed toward Witch God Mountain to witness the war.
• Di Jun, Tai Yi, Kunpeng, and the Demon Race army besieged Witch God Mountain, leaving the Witch Clan close to defeat after months of fighting.
• Xuan Ming led the surviving Witch Clan Great Luo Cultivators out of the formation and charged Eastern Emperor Taiyi, vowing to take him down with her.
• Kunpeng and the other Demon Saints attacked Xuan Ming from a distance, while Eastern Emperor Taiyi continued to rely on the Eastern Emperor Bell to wound the Ancestral Witches.

The Ancestral Witches returned to Witch God Mountain and fought the Demon Race, while Xuan Ming revealed that Houtu had fallen into an unconscious slumber. Luo Qing watched the devastating battle and judged that outside Quasi-Sages would prevent either side from winning outright.

• Di Jiang and the other Ancestral Witches returned in time to stop Xuan Ming from self-detonating and attacked Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the Demon Saints.
• Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi persuaded the Demon Saints to fight, and nearly twenty Quasi-Sages clashed above Buzhou Mountain as the armies joined battle below.
• Zhu Rong rescued Xuan Ming and learned that Houtu's primordial spirit and body had been gravely damaged, leaving her unconscious.
• Luo Qing observed the slaughter and discovered hidden Quasi-Sages and Peak Grand Unity Immortals around Buzhou Mountain.
• Luo Qing concluded that the hidden observers would prevent the Witch Clan's extermination and that the injured Ancestral Witches were nearing defeat without their great array.

The injured Witch Clan lost the First Witch-Demon War at Witch God Mountain, and Di Jiang ordered a retreat to preserve the clan. After the Demon Clan broke through the mountain’s protective array, the surviving Ancestor Witches fled with Witch God Palace beyond Buzhou Mountain.

• Zhu Jiuyin saw the Witch Clan’s losses mounting and urged Di Jiang to retreat.
• Old Ancestor Kunpeng grievously wounded Tian Wu, and the Demon Saints forced Gonggong, Qiang Liang, and other Ancestor Witches back.

• The Demon Clan broke through Witch God Mountain’s protective array, and Di Jiang, Zhu Jiuyin, Gonggong, and the other surviving Ancestor Witches fled with Witch God Palace beyond Buzhou Mountain.

The Demon Race pursued the weakened Witch Clan from Buzhou Mountain, while Kunpeng and the Demon Saints secretly agreed to resist Di Jun and Tai Yi’s control after the battle. Luo Qing chose to follow the Witch Clan rather than raid Heavenly Court, and the pursuit reached the Northern Primordial Territory.

• Di Jun persuaded Kunpeng and the Demon Saints to pursue the Witch Clan, despite Tai Yi’s insults and their reluctance.
• Shang Yang, Nine Infants, and the other Demon Saints agreed with Kunpeng to pursue the Witch Clan while withholding their full effort and later opposing Di Jun and Tai Yi.
• Luo Qing saw that some immortals and gods were moving toward Buzhou Mountain and guessed they planned to probe Heavenly Court, but he chose to pursue the Witch Clan instead.
• Di Jiang led the badly wounded Witch Clan north as the Demon Race repeatedly attacked the Witch God Palace during the chase.
• The pursuit carried the Witch God Palace from Buzhou Mountain to the vicinity of the Northern Primordial Territory.

Luo Qing blocked the Witch Clan’s escape into Northern Domain and demanded their Ancestral Witch method of proving the Dao as compensation for their attempt to kill him. When Gonggong rejected the demand, Luo Qing killed him with the Witch-Slaying Sword, leaving the wounded Ancestral Witches facing him in the sealed pass.

• Luo Qing sealed the battlefield pass with the Kunlun Mirror and Yin-Yang Heaven-Transforming Mirror to stop the fleeing Witch Clan from entering Northern Domain.
• Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin tried to break the spatial seal, but Luo Qing appeared and blocked them.
• Di Jiang threatened that the Ancestral Witches would self-destruct, while Luo Qing answered by displaying his Witch-Slaying Sword and splitting the earth with a strike.
• Zhu Jiuyin asked what Luo Qing wanted in exchange for letting the Witch Clan pass, and Luo Qing demanded their method of proving the Dao from Grand Luo Golden Immortal to Primordial Chaos Saint.
• Gonggong refused Luo Qing’s demand, and Luo Qing struck him; Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin were held back by the sealed space as the sword severed Gonggong’s head.

Luo Qing forced the Ancestral Witches to surrender their method of proving the Dao and let them flee into the Northern Domain. As the Demon Race halted its pursuit, Di Jun received news that the Heavenly Court had been besieged by unknown Quasi-Sages.

• Luo Qing threatened Di Jiang and the injured Ancestral Witches with the Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd until Di Jiang handed over the Ancestral Witch Method of Proving the Dao.
• Luo Qing opened the sealed passage and let Di Jiang and the Ancestral Witches escape into the Northern Domain.
• Di Jiang reassured the others that Luo Qing could not cultivate the method, and the Witch Clan resolved to recover in the Northern Domain before returning to Buzhou Mountain.
• Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Kunpeng debated whether the Demon Race should pursue the Witch Clan into the dangerous Northern Domain, and Kunpeng urged them to withdraw.
• A message arrived from Buzhou Mountain, and Di Jun learned that unknown Quasi-Sages had besieged the Heavenly Court.

The first Witch-Demon War ended with the Witch Clan retreating to the Northern Primordial Territory and the Demon Race holding its position, while Luo Qing left the battlefield for Kunlun Mountain. Reports of his victory over the Ten Ancestral Witches spread across the Primordial World, earning him the title of First Quasi-Sage and drawing many immortals to Kunlun.
