Chapter Summaries

Zhun Ti negotiated an alliance with the Karma Demon God against Hong Yun in exchange for learning the Way of Karma. The Karma Demon God kept Maitreya with him as a hostage and potential link to his true form, leaving Zhun Ti unable to free his disciple.

• Jieyin worried that cooperating with a Chaos Demon God might draw the Dao Ancestor’s attention, but Zhun Ti said he planned to use and later eliminate the Karma Demon God.
• Zhun Ti demanded payment for helping fight Hong Yun, and the Karma Demon God agreed to share the Great Dao of Karma.

• The Karma Demon God warned Zhun Ti not to force the issue, keeping Maitreya’s soul in his control.

Zhun Ti refused to join the Karma Demon God in ambushing Hong Yun in Chaos, wary of Hong Yun’s support from the Netherworld. Instead, he proposed exploiting the Lich Cataclysm to keep Hong Yun’s allies occupied, leaving the Karma Demon God to face him alone.

• The Karma Demon God agreed to work with Zhun Ti but refused to let Maitreya go, so Zhun Ti shielded Maitreya’s soul with the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree.

• Zhun Ti proposed using the Lich Cataclysm to draw Hong Yun’s allies away and explained Hong Yun’s involvement in it.

Zhun Ti and Karma Demon God agreed to target Hong Yun once the Witch-Demon War distracted Pingxin and Nu Wa, and Karma Demon God taught Zhun Ti how to trace the tenth Golden Crow Prince. Zhun Ti left for the Eastern Boundary while Jieyin watched over Maitreya and the demon god, but Karma Demon God’s true body saw through Zhun Ti’s scheme.

• Zhun Ti warned Jieyin to kill Karma Demon God if he acted suspiciously, even if Maitreya was injured, then left Mount Sumeru for the Eastern Boundary.
• Karma Demon God’s true body opened his eyes in the chaos and realized that Zhun Ti was trying to manipulate him.

Hong Yun pursued the Karma Demon God deeper into Chaos with Zhen Yuan Zi and Tong Tian, while Zhun Ti discovered the Golden Crow Princes hidden at Tang Gu. Zhun Ti planned to bring them into the Primordial World and provoke the Witch Clan into shooting them down.

• Zhun Ti planned to draw the princes into the Primordial World as ten suns, then quietly headed toward Tang Gu.

Zhun Ti secretly infiltrated Tang Gu, where Xi He’s unborn child was protected by formations, while Xi He sensed danger and went to the Moon Star to seek comfort from Wang Shu. Xi He learned that Hong Yun was away among the human race, leaving the danger at Tang Gu undiscovered.

• Zhun Ti used the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to slip through Tang Gu’s formations and conceal the disturbance.

• Xi He asked whether Hong Yun was meditating among the human race and teased Wang Shu for not being by his side.

After learning of the danger and Yuan Shi’s request for a branch of Moon Laurel, Hong Yun and Zhen Yuan Zi discussed the growing schemes around them while Hong Yun’s true body remained in the chaos.

• Xi He guessed Hong Yun was absent from the human territory, revealed that she had hidden the little Golden Crows near Tang Gu, and hurried there with Wang Shu.

• Hong Yun told Zhen Yuan Zi that Yuan Shi had sent a disciple to request a branch of Moon Laurel, and Zhen Yuan Zi suspected Yuan Shi was beginning to act behind the scenes.

Xi He visited the ten little Golden Crows in Tanggu, then left for the Primordial Starry Sky to check on Di Jun. Meanwhile, Hou Yi’s skill with his newly acquired bow drew Xuanming’s attention, and she asked him its name.

• Xi He found the ten little Golden Crows safe in Tanggu and told them to stay there until the Demon Clan’s affairs were settled.
• Xi He returned secretly to the Moon Palace with Wang Shu, then set out for the Primordial Starry Sky to see how Di Jun was doing.
• After Xi He left Tanggu, the Golden Crows revealed they had hidden the old man’s visit from her and planned to wait before sneaking out.
• Hou Yi practiced with the precious bow and arrows he had found, using wooden copies for everyday practice.
• Xuanming summoned Hou Yi, examined his bow, and asked what it was called, but Hou Yi had not named it.

Xuanming used her authority over Hong Yun's Fire Cloud Cave World to enchant Hou Yi's bow and arrows so they could return after being shot. Hou Yi showed off the new weapon to Kua Fu and Xing Tian, who went to ask Xuanming to improve their own weapons, but Xing Tian was promptly blasted out of her hall.

• Xuanming engraved runes on Hou Yi's bow and arrows, letting fired arrows pass through space into the Fire Cloud Cave World and return to him.
• Xuanming demonstrated the returning arrow and warned Hou Yi that each shot consumed the lunar energy stored inside it.
• Hou Yi left Xuanming's hall pleased with his weapon, then shot an arrow before Kua Fu and showed it reappearing in his hand.
• Xing Tian took his great axe and entered Xuanming's hall, hoping she would enchant it like Hou Yi's bow and arrows.
• A deafening boom sent Xing Tian flying out of the hall.

The ten Golden Crow Princes escaped Tang Gu’s formation and flew toward the human lands, while Hong Yun continued following the Karma Demon God toward the Primordial World. The Golden Crows’ birth had also caused an icy age that had not yet fully ended.

• Hou Yi and Kua Fu left Xing Tian behind after Xuanming ordered them to train properly.
• The eldest Golden Crow Prince dispelled Tang Gu’s formation, and the ten princes flew over the Eastern Sea.

• Hong Yun learned of the disturbance from Candle Dragon but continued tracking the Karma Demon God toward the Primordial World.

The Little Golden Crows brought warmth to the Human Race but kept scorching the land until drought and destruction followed. Kua Fu chased them despite Hou Yi and Xing Tian pursuing too, and the chapter ended with the princes burning Kua Fu with True Sun Fire.

• The Little Golden Crows warmed the Human Race with their solar energy, then continued flying day and night until the cold turned into drought and scorching heat.
• Huluwa prepared to suck the Little Golden Crows into his treasured gourd, but a whisper stopped him, and his gourd instead poured sweet rain over the people.
• Kua Fu attacked the Little Golden Crows with a boulder, then grew enormous and pursued them as they mocked him and fled.
• Hou Yi and Xing Tian chased after Kua Fu, while the eldest Golden Crow Prince ordered the others to attack with True Sun Fire.
• Kua Fu endured the fire with his Great Shaman body, but it burned away his eyebrows and beard.

Kua Fu died after the little Golden Crows’ True Sun Fire burned him, and Pingxin sent his sealed blood essence into reincarnation. Hou Yi then shot down the Golden Crow princes in revenge, leaving one survivor fleeing to the Heavenly Court as nine arrows appeared before Hong Yun and Zhen Yuan Zi.

• Kua Fu drank the lakes, rivers, and East Sea while the True Sun Fire scorched him, then collapsed and died.
• Pingxin extracted Kua Fu’s blood essence with his memories and karma sealed inside and cast it into reincarnation as his body merged with the Primordial Wilderness and became a peach grove.
• Hou Yi and Xing Tian found Kua Fu’s remains, and Xing Tian charged at the returning little Golden Crows while Hou Yi fired his bow.
• Hou Yi’s arrows pursued the Golden Crows, killing the eldest Golden Crow Prince and sending the others’ bodies falling as one survivor fled toward the Heavenly Court.
• Hou Yi hurried to Xuanming’s temple to report what he had done, while nine arrows carrying transparent orbs appeared before Hong Yun and Zhen Yuan Zi in the Fire Cloud Cave World.

Hong Yun placed the souls of the nine dead Golden Crow Princes in the Fire Cloud Cave World’s Sun Star, where they began to restore its vitality, and promised Zhen Yuan Zi that one would later go to the Earth Immortal Realm. As the Witch-Demon War loomed, Tong Tian worried about his elder brothers, while Xi He saw the fallen Golden Crows and rushed out of the Myriad Stars Great Formation.

• Hong Yun sent the nine Golden Crow souls into the Fire Cloud Cave World’s Sun Star to recover, causing it to pulse with renewed solar energy.
• Zhen Yuan Zi realized a Little Golden Crow could help his Earth Immortal Realm and persuaded Hong Yun to send one there after the souls recovered.
• Tong Tian arrived after sensing the Sun Star’s eruption, recognized the Golden Crow Princes’ souls, and worried that their deaths would trigger a decisive Witch-Demon battle.
• Hong Yun cut off Tong Tian’s concerns about his elder brothers and told him to focus on hunting the Karma Demon God.
• Di Jun, Xi He, and Taiyi sensed the Golden Crows’ deaths, and Xi He saw nine fall while the smallest fled toward the Heavenly Court before she rushed out of the Myriad Stars Great Formation.

After the Little Golden Crows died, Di Jun declared war on the Witch Clan while Xi He took the surviving Little Golden Crow back to the Sun Star. Xuanming saved Hou Yi from Di Jun’s attack and prepared him and Xing Tian to take Kua Fu’s place in the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Formation as the clans headed toward battle.

• Di Jun rescued Xi He and the last Little Golden Crow, and Xi He left for the Sun Star after asking him to avenge their children.

The Demon Clan emerged from the Heavenly Court and clashed with the Ancestral Shamans, as Taiyi attacked Hou Yi and was intercepted by Zhurong and Gong Gong. With both sides sustaining injuries, Di Jun held back and planned to save his strength for the final formation battle, while Fuxi volunteered to join the fight.

• Taiyi charged at Hou Yi with the Chaos Bell, but Zhurong and Gong Gong intercepted him to protect the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Formation.
• Taiyi’s Chaos Bell injured Zhurong and Gong Gong, who continued fighting as Zhurong wielded fire and Gong Gong summoned water.
• Taiyi transformed into a Three-legged Golden Crow and brought the Chaos Bell down on Zhurong, mangling his arms, while Gong Gong struck Taiyi’s wing with a water-wreathed fist.
• Di Jun restrained himself from joining the battle so he could preserve his strength for the clash between the Myriad Stars Great Formation and the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Formation.
• The Ten Great Demon Gods asked to fight, but Fuxi volunteered instead, while Kun Peng stayed silent and avoided stepping forward.

Kun Peng agreed to fight for the Demon Clan after Di Jun promised him the River Diagram and Luo Book. Nu Wa tried to reach Fuxi but Taiqing blocked her, so she secretly used a gourd to vanish and seek Hong Yun, leaving Taiqing unable to locate her.

• Di Jun promised Kun Peng the River Diagram and Luo Book, and Kun Peng headed to the battlefield.
• Ju Mang, Qiang Liang, and Xi Zi stepped forward as the Demon Clan sent another fighter.

• Nu Wa used a gourd to vanish and connect to the Fire Cloud Cave World so she could find Hong Yun.
• Taiqing realized Nu Wa was gone, searched the Primordial Wilderness, and lingered near Fuxi.

After Nu Wa explained that Taiqing had blocked her from leaving Empress Wa's Palace and that Fuxi was fighting the Ancestral Shamans, Hong Yun comforted her and warned that Fuxi might die.

• Taiqing stayed outside Empress Wa's Palace, unaware that Nu Wa had gone to the Fire Cloud Cave World.

• Tong Tian apologized for Taiqing, while Hong Yun explained that he and Tong Tian were already in Chaos and that Tong Tian had not been involved.
• Nu Wa told Hong Yun that Fuxi was fighting the Ancestral Shamans, and Zhen Yuan Zi pulled Tong Tian aside so she could speak privately with Hong Yun.
• Hong Yun comforted Nu Wa as she vented her worries and anger at Taiqing, then told her that Fuxi might die in the battle.

Hong Yun persuaded Nu Wa to let Fuxi abandon his Demon Race body and join the Human Dao, promising to help him attain the Dao as the Human Race’s Heavenly Emperor. Meanwhile, Fuxi continued fighting Ju Mang and Qiang Liang on the Witch-Demon Battlefield, unaware of the plans being made for him.

• Hong Yun proposed that Fuxi join the Human Dao, severing his ties and karma with the Demon Race by giving up his current body.
• Nu Wa worried that the process would mean Fuxi’s death, but Hong Yun convinced her that rebirth as a human would clear his karma and keep him from being torn between the two races.
• Hong Yun reassured Nu Wa that he would help Fuxi attain the Dao and promised to help her get even with Taiqing, making her laugh.
• Hong Yun called Zhen Yuan Zi and Tong Tian over, while Nu Wa snubbed Tong Tian because Taiqing had offended her.
• On the Witch-Demon Battlefield, Fuxi fought Ju Mang and Qiang Liang, finding their battle surprisingly easy as Qiang Liang praised his judgment.

Fuxi refused Qiang Liang and Ju Mang’s attempts to recruit him, while the Witch-Demon armies began a full-scale battle. Xuanming ordered Huluwa and the others to defend the human territory, and they raised a formation just as a squad of Demon Clan soldiers approached.

• Huluwa and Wu Tian prepared to join the battle, but Xuanming ordered them to guard the human territory instead.
• Suiren Shi persuaded Huluwa that protecting people could help him cultivate the Human Dao, and Huluwa organized the others to build a defensive formation.
• Huluwa and his junior sisters used their precious gourds as the formation’s core, raising a crimson barrier around the Eastern Sea shore as Demon Clan soldiers arrived nearby.

Di Jun activated restrictions implanted in demons he had given cultivation techniques to, turning them into starlight that strengthened a formation across the Primordial Wilderness. Zhun Ti observed Di Jun’s preparations and investigated the Golden Crows’ remains, then left to keep watching the Witch-Demon War.

• Huluwa used his treasure gourd to capture a squad of demon soldiers attacking the human race, then hurried toward another attack.
• Di Jun activated a restriction in the yellow goat demon king, turning his body to stone and merging his primordial spirit with an earth vein.
• Di Jun summoned the power of stars, mountains, and rivers, lighting 365 formation points across the Primordial Wilderness.
• Di Jun sacrificed millions of demons under his control, sending their bodies and primordial spirits to formation nodes and linking the points into a vast starlight net.
• Zhun Ti watched Di Jun’s formation take shape and feared the strength Di Jun might gain if he became a Saint.
• Zhun Ti examined the hot springs where the nine Golden Crows had fallen, found no traces of their souls, and vanished to continue watching the war.

Di Jun activated the Myriad Stars Great Formation, temporarily gaining Saint-level combat strength, and clashed with Dijiang and the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Formation. Their collision devastated the battlefield and shook Bu Zhou Mountain, where a green light suddenly appeared from Pangu Hall.

• Di Jun activated the Myriad Stars Great Formation as the Ancestral Shamans regrouped in the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Formation.
• Di Jun drew power from the stars and mountains, reached temporary Saint-level strength, and challenged Dijiang.
