Chapter Summaries

Xuantian led the Immortal Kings through the Soul River into Heaven, then traveled for millions of years toward the Eerie Clan’s legendary Plateau. After reaching the Calamity Land, he sensed the Plateau ahead and felt its immense pressure.

• Xuantian guided the kings across the Soul River and through Heaven’s barrier, where they marveled at the world’s powerful Great Dao.
• Xuantian settled the kings and other cultivators at Meng Tianzheng’s settlement, then set out alone to witness other worlds.
• Over the next several million years, Heaven flourished while Xuantian’s Five Elements incarnation crossed the Sacrificial Sea toward the Plateau.
• At the Land of the Great Sacrifice, Xuantian destroyed a shadow formed from the evil thoughts of dead Immortal Emperors and witnessed records of the Eerie Clan’s ancient sacrifices.
• Xuantian reached the Calamity Land, ignored the retreating eerie army, and headed toward the Plateau, whose outline filled him with unease.

Xuantian reached the battlefield where the Pollen Path Empress had fallen and revived her by purifying the contamination and summoning her soul. After she awakened, she explained that the Plateau was the strange race’s Ancestral Land, whose power repelled outsiders more fiercely as their cultivation increased.

• Xuantian followed the Pollen Path’s scattered spirit particles across the Calamity Land and found the battlefield where its evolvers had died.
• Xuantian saw the Pollen Path Empress lying beneath three ancient coffins and used lightning to cleanse the battlefield’s source of contamination.
• Xuantian used a soul-summoning art to restore the Pollen Path Empress, overcoming the Sacrificial Dao-level backlash.
• The Pollen Path Empress awakened, thanked Xuantian, and appeared with an ancient tree that withered until only its trunk and a seed remained.
• Xuantian asked why the spirit particles warned that the Plateau could not be defeated, and the Pollen Path Empress explained that its repulsive power made entry difficult even for Sacrificial Dao-level beings.

The Plateau Consciousness revealed the source of the Progenitors’ resurrection and raised ten ancient corpses to join the battle, doubling the enemy force. The Willow Deity and Luo escaped with the Heaven-Burying Coffin while Xuantian, Shi Hao, and Chang Feng faced the twenty Progenitors, who then merged into two terrifying beings.

• The Pollen Emperor joined Xuantian, Shi Hao, Chang Feng, and the others, bringing their number of Sacrificial Dao fighters to five as they fought the ten Progenitors.
• The Plateau Consciousness disclosed that the Progenitors’ resurrection came from the ashes of a dead being and used its reserves to awaken ten ancient corpses as powerful as Progenitors.
• Xuantian and the others were surrounded by twenty Progenitors, so they sent the Willow Deity and Luo away with the Heaven-Burying Coffin to protect the seeds and beings in Heaven.
• Xuantian, Shi Hao, and Chang Feng used their techniques and incarnations to hold back the attackers while the Willow Deity and Luo escaped.
• The ten original Progenitors merged into one creature, leaving two immensely powerful enemies to confront the three fighters who remained.

Shi Hao, Chang Feng, and Xuantian burned their Sacrificial Dao origins to destroy most of the Progenitors, then vanished after buying the others a period of peace.

• After ten million years of fighting and repeated raids on eerie strongholds, the grand sacrifice arrived again, and eerie matter swept through the Great Thousand World.

During the Green Era, Ye Fan and several others reached Sacrificial Dao, bringing the Heavens to ten such fighters before Beyondland launched a counterattack against the Eerie Clan. The Eerie progenitors answered with twenty Sacrificial Dao beings and the Plateau Consciousness, leaving the Heavens vastly outnumbered as the final battle began.
