Chapter Summaries

Houtu expanded the Netherworld beneath Buzhou Mountain and began dissolving herself to create the Six Paths of Reincarnation, drawing the Witch-Demon War toward a crisis. As the Demon Clan tried to stop her and the Witch Clan defended her, Huang Ting intervened to keep Di Jun from entering the battle, warning that the outcome still had variables.

• Houtu gathered the power of the earth and expanded the Netherworld, drawing in the dead, wandering spirits, and foul energies from across the Primordial World.
• Guided by the Heavenly Dao, Houtu broke through the Peak Quasi-Saint realm and began dissolving into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

• Di Jiang, the other Ancestral Witches, and Boyue strengthened the Pangu Phantom and braced it against the Eastern Emperor Bell.
• Di Jun prepared to take the Witch-Slaying Sword into battle, but Huang Ting appeared beside him and told him to wait because variables remained.

As Houtu attained the Dao and became the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Luo Xuan brought the Netherworld Ghost Willow, Netherworld Pearl, and Countless Ghost Deities into the forming Netherworld World. He confronted Houtu and began a struggle to claim the Netherworld, leaving them poised to clash.

• Luo Xuan sent the Netherworld Grotto-Heaven, the Countless Ghost Deities, and the Netherworld Ghost Willow away as the Netherworld Pearl was blasted free beneath Hua Tian Peak.

• Houtu recognized Luo Xuan as the Netherworld Great Emperor and realized he had come to take control of the Netherworld.
• Luo Xuan stood atop the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk and unleashed his Netherworld Great Dao, while Houtu used the disk to strike back and began the struggle for the Dao.

Luo Xuan and Houtu fought for control of the Netherworld as Houtu wielded the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk. Luo Xuan summoned the power of the Netherworld Ghost Willow and countless Ghost Deities, allowing him to suppress the disk and claim the upper hand.

• Di Jiang urged the Ancestral Witches to hold off the Demon Clan while Houtu fought below Buzhou Mountain.

• Luo Xuan summoned the countless Ghost Deities gathered around the Netherworld Ghost Willow, whose Spirit Array empowered him.
• Strengthened by the Ghost Deities, Luo Xuan sent the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk tumbling and pinned it beneath his paws.

Luo Xuan suppressed the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk and used the Netherworld Ghost Willow to drain its power, intending to weaken Houtu enough to refine it and claim control of the Netherworld. Houtu attempted to destroy the disk with herself and Luo Xuan, but he revealed his final trump card: 110,000 Inner Self Worlds appearing within the Netherworld.

• Luo Xuan overcame Houtu's resistance and pressed the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk beneath the Netherworld Earth Continent.
• Luo Xuan and the Netherworld Ghost Willow, aided by countless Ghost Deities, immobilized the disk and began devouring its power.
• The disk's damaged origin injured Houtu's primordial spirit and caused omens across the Netherworld and Primordial Wilderness.
• Luo Xuan told Houtu he would refine the disk once her consciousness weakened, while Houtu threatened to self-detonate it.
• When Houtu tried to self-detonate the disk, Luo Xuan summoned 110,000 Inner Self Worlds into the Netherworld.

Luo Xuan’s Inner Self Worlds became one hundred and ten thousand World Fruits on the Netherworld Ghost Willow, allowing it to overwhelm Houtu and ruin the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk. After winning the Netherworld Dao Struggle for Hua Tian Peak, Luo Xuan realized the disk might be destroyed completely, disrupting his original plan to refine it.

• Luo Xuan frowned when he saw the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk nearing complete destruction, beyond the damage he had intended.

Luo Xuan ended the Netherworld Dao Struggle by having the Netherworld Ghost Willow suppress Houtu and the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, then expanded the Netherworld until the Earth Dao emerged and the Primordial Netherworld Yin Realm was born. On Buzhou Mountain, the Witch Clan mistook Houtu’s vanished aura for her death and launched a desperate counterattack against the Demon Race.

• Luo Xuan stopped the Netherworld Ghost Willow from fully destroying the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, but it suppressed the disk beneath the Netherworld Earth Continent and ended the Dao Struggle.

• Di Jiang and the other Ancestral Witches sensed Houtu’s aura vanish, while the Demon Race assumed she had died and celebrated.
• Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin rallied the Witch Clan, which renewed its attack and drove the Demon Race back despite Di Jun’s confidence that the Witch Clan would soon tire.
• The Netherworld expanded to its limit, the Netherworld Earth Continent merged with it, and the Earth Dao emerged as the Primordial Netherworld Yin Realm was born.

Luo Xuan and the Netherworld Ghost Willow completed their transformations when the Netherworld Yin Realm and Earth Dao were born, and Luo Xuan overcame his tribulation to become the Ninth Saint. After establishing reincarnation in the new realm, he sensed his Main Body summoning him and prepared to leave before the Netherworld had fully stabilized.

• Luo Xuan sensed his Main Body summoning him and decided to leave before the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Netherworld Yin Realm had fully stabilized.

As Luo Qing and the other Saints struggled against three Chaos God-Demons, Luo Xuan attained the Dao and answered his Main Body’s summons. His emergence from the Primordial World distracted the Witch Clan, Boyue died, and the Twelve Dutian Divine Fiend Great Array broke, leaving Di Jun poised to attack the eleven Ancestral Witches.

• Luo Xuan’s Saint procession distracted the Witch Clan during its battle with the Demon Clan, and the weakened Twelve Dutian Divine Fiend Great Array exposed Boyue to the Great Formation of the Stars.
• Boyue was killed and the Twelve Dutian Divine Fiend Great Array broke, prompting Di Jun to appear before the eleven Ancestral Witches with the Witch-Slaying Sword.

Demon Emperor Di Jun used the Witch-Slaying Sword and the Great Formation of the Stars to devastate the Ancestral Witches, pushing the Witch Clan to the brink of extinction. As Xi Zi prepared to self-detonate, Long Ling ordered Fairy Zi Guang and the Innate Star Gods to seize the source positions of the Primordial Stars.

• Di Jun killed Tian Wu with the Witch-Slaying Sword and gravely wounded several other Ancestral Witches, while Zhurong and Gonggong blamed Luo Qing for the weapon.

The chapter left Gonggong as the last Ancestral Witch, charging into Buzhou Mountain to destroy the Primordial Wilderness.

• Fairy Zi Guang called on the Primordial Star Gods, disrupting the Great Formation of the Stars, and Xi Zi self-detonated to shatter it.

• Gonggong charged into Buzhou Mountain, intending to destroy the Primordial Wilderness and take its living beings down with the Witch Clan.

Huang Ting returned as Buzhou Mountain’s god and prevented Gonggong’s self-detonation from destroying the mountain, while secretly preserving Fuxi’s soul to gain Nuwa’s favor. As the Witch Clan faced extinction, Jiu Feng unleashed a devastating curse that shattered the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court fortune.

• Huang Ting merged with Buzhou Mountain, restored his authority, and began repairing his incomplete soul.
• Huang Ting saved Fuxi’s soul before it could shatter and entrusted it to the Chaos Ghost Willow Tree for Nuwa’s sake.
• Huang Ting used Buzhou Mountain’s power to block Gonggong’s self-detonation and protect the mountain’s core.

• Jiu Feng used the fallen clans’ blood and souls to curse the Demon Clan, turning the Twenty-Four Heavens into a blood-soaked ruin and shattering the Heavenly Court’s fortune.

• Luo Xuan merged into Luo Qing, combining their Sage Great Daos and foundations as Luo Xuan vanished.
• Luo Qing’s aura surged to the Mid-Sage realm, and Ancestor Hongjun and the other Sages realized Luo Xuan had been his clone.

After absorbing Luo Xuan’s Dao Fruit, Luo Qing hunted the fleeing Chaos God-Demons and trapped the Nine-Eyed God-Demon in a powerful array. The Nine-Eyed God-Demon tried to self-detonate, and Luo Qing prepared to suppress him instead of destroying his Dao.

• The three Chaos God-Demons tried to flee after recognizing Luo Qing’s greatly increased strength, while Ancestor Yangmei escaped toward the Primordial World.
• Luo Qing blocked the Nine-Eyed God-Demon and ordered Ancestor Hongjun, Nuwa, and the other Sages to pursue Void and Myriad Hearts.

• The Nine-Eyed God-Demon became badly wounded, warned that he would return with the heroes of Chaos, and attempted to self-detonate.
• Luo Qing realized that suppressing the Nine-Eyed God-Demon would be easier than annihilating his Dao.

Luo Qing suppressed and imprisoned the Nine-Eyed God-Demon, then reunited with Ancestor Hongjun, Nuwa, and the other Sages after Void and Myriad Hearts escaped. As the Sages returned to the Primordial World, the Celestial River transformed the Netherworld Yin Realm into a vast sea and strengthened it enough for its Netherworld Laws to emerge.

• Luo Qing used the Chikong Mirror formation and the Creation Green Lotus to seal the Nine-Eyed God-Demon and imprison him inside the lotus.

• The Celestial River, shattered Twenty-Four Heavens, and world fragments strengthened the Netherworld Yin Realm, and its Netherworld Laws finally came into being.

New laws of heaven and earth imposed lifespans and tribulations on immortals, causing mass deaths across the Primordial World and overwhelming the Netherworld. As Huang Ting restored Buzhou Mountain, a radiance of the Heavenly Dao enveloped him and a supreme aura spread from him.

• The new laws emerged, limiting the lifespans of immortals below the Golden Immortal realm and subjecting them to tribulations, while Golden Immortals faced the Five Declines of Celestials.
• Countless immortals and gods died or began to decay, and the Chaos Ghost Willow received the dead and sent suitable souls through reincarnation.
• Resentment and fiendish aura gathered over Hua Tian Peak, where the Vile Grey Lotus absorbed it through a portal into the Hua Tian Yin Realm.
• The Netherworld settled into order, and Huang Ting returned to Buzhou Mountain and restored its ruined surface, though its depleted earth veins remained weak.
• A radiance of the Heavenly Dao descended on Huang Ting, and an aura of supreme sanctity began to spread from him.

Huang Ting, empowered by the Heavenly Dao, judged the Witch and Demon Clans for the devastation caused by their war and imposed severe restrictions on the Demon Clan. After the Demon Clan’s transformation and cultivation paths were shackled, Old Ancestor Kunpeng sought a powerful ally, while surviving members of the Witch Clan feared their own judgment was next.

• Huang Ting invoked his authority as Buzhou Mountain God and announced that he would execute punishment on behalf of Heaven for the Witch and Demon Clans’ destruction.
• Huang Ting issued an edict requiring demons to pass three transformation trials and reach the Refining Spirit into Void realm before assuming Dao forms, while requiring Moonlight White Dew to cross the Immortal Pass.
• The edict immediately forced weak demons back into their original forms and sealed the Immortal Pass for demon cultivators, and Old Ancestor Kunpeng began considering a visit to Phoenix Perch Mountain to find the clan a backer.
• Witch Clan cultivators celebrated the Demon Clan’s punishment, but Chi You and other survivors of Buzhou Mountain feared the Witch Clan would face an even harsher judgment.

Huang Ting judged the Witch Clan and condemned its members to the Netherworld for a hundred kalpa cycles, stripping the Twelve Ancestral Witches of their sacred positions. When Xing Tian and Jiu Feng resisted, Huang Ting punished them, turning Xing Tian into an eternal guardian of Buzhou Mountain and transforming Jiu Feng into a Nine-Headed Evil Bird.

• Xing Tian attacked Huang Ting, who decapitated him, erased his consciousness, and made him a Buzhou Mountain Guardian Dao Soldier Divine General.
• Jiu Feng denounced Huang Ting and the Heavenly Dao, and Huang Ting transformed her into a Nine-Headed Evil Bird.

Huang Ting ended his judgment of the Witch and Demon Clans by exiling the remaining Witch Clan members to the Netherworld Yin Realm and reclaiming the Witch-Slaying Sword. After the Sages returned, they agreed to keep their battles outside the Primordial Wilderness, while Luo Qing and Hua Tian Peak faced envy for emerging as the greatest winners of the calamity.

• Zhunti criticized Luo Qing for Hua Tian Peak's gains, but the Sages accepted them after recognizing Luo Qing's strength and the group's service.

Luo Qing defended Hua Tian Peak’s gains in the Witch-Apocalypse Calamity, arguing that Buzhou Mountain belonged there because Huang Ting was its Innate Mountain God. The Sages accepted the division of spoils and agreed that Luo Qing would seek no further benefits, while he returned to Hua Tian Peak to investigate the Resentful Sha pollution.

• Luo Qing explained that the Netherworld Yin Realm was flooded and burdened with Resentful Sha, while the Primordial Era Starry Sky rightfully belonged to Fairy Zi Guang’s Star God Lineage.
• Ancestor Hongjun objected to Hua Tian Peak taking Buzhou Mountain, and Luo Qing revealed Huang Ting’s Ancestral Witch bloodline, Qilin Ancestor body, and status as Buzhou Mountain’s Innate Mountain God.
• Luo Qing recounted how he had found and revived Huang Ting, concealing that he had purified and infused Pangu’s Ancestral Witch bloodline into him.

• Luo Qing returned to Hua Tian Peak to investigate the dense black clouds of Resentful Sha hanging over it.
