Chapter Summaries

Ling Tian brought Kun Peng and the others to the Netherworld Blood Sea to establish the Nine Netherworld, explaining that it was the best place for the souls of heaven and earth to rest. When Ancestor Minghe attacked after Ling Tian demanded to use the sea, Ling Tian dispersed the waves with the Law of Blood, and the confrontation began.

• Ling Tian took Kun Peng, Xi He, Houtu, Zhenyuanzi, and Hong Yun to the Netherworld Blood Sea instead of the chaos, then explained why he planned to create the Nine Netherworld there.
• Kun Peng and Houtu worried that Ancestor Minghe, the Blood Sea's powerful master, would interfere with their plans.
• Ling Tian called for Ancestor Minghe and demanded to borrow the Netherworld Blood Sea, threatening to beat him if he refused.
• Ancestor Minghe erupted in anger and sent towering waves of baleful blood water toward Ling Tian and the others.
• Ling Tian stopped Kun Peng from intervening and used the Law of Blood to make the waves vanish, prompting Kun Peng to recognize his master's power.

Ling Tian attacked Minghe with a sword combining the Law of Blood, Sword Dao Law, and Killing Law, overwhelming him and breaking the Twelve-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus. Minghe begged for peace, and Ling Tian stopped fighting, leaving Minghe silently aggrieved.

• Minghe learned that Ling Tian had comprehended the Law of Blood and realized Ling Tian's mastery rivaled his own.
• Ling Tian formed a blood-red flying sword infused with the Law of Blood, Sword Dao Law, and Killing Law, then struck at Minghe.

• Ling Tian ended the attack after deciding he had achieved his goal, while Minghe suppressed his grievance and Xi He and Chang Xi laughed.

Ling Tian and the others created the Nine Netherworld, building its world membrane, stabilizing its chaos, and establishing the Reincarnation Hall and boundary river. Houtu began merging with the world to grant it its World Origin.

• Ling Tian persuaded Minghe to support the Nine Netherworld’s creation by offering him a chance to earn the Earthly Dao’s favor and become an Earthly Dao Saint.

• Houtu entered the new world and began merging her soul and Reincarnation Law with it to grant it its World Origin.

After Houtu merged with the Nine Netherworld, the realm transformed into a thriving world, completing a major part of Ling Tian’s plan for the Earthly Dao. Ling Tian assigned roles to his allies to prepare for reincarnation, but Kun Peng asked why he had been left without a title.

• Houtu’s soul and the Reincarnation Law merged with the Nine Netherworld, transforming its land, energy, and living things until Houtu’s compassionate eye appeared in the void.
• Ling Tian celebrated Houtu’s successful fusion, then entered the completed Nine Netherworld with Kun Peng, Xi He, Chang Xi, Ming River, and Zhenyuanzi.

• Ling Tian appointed Kun Peng as External Affairs Hall Master and revealed that Immortal Court would serve as the External Affairs Hall.
• Kun Peng established a Reincarnation Hall branch on the Central Continent and secretly gathered remnant souls, which Hong Yun’s Reincarnation Hall then housed in the Nine Netherworld.
• Ling Tian’s plan was to accumulate remnant souls until Houtu could establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation and advance the Earthly Dao before Hongjun or the Heavenly Dao noticed.
• Zunti and Jieyin arrived at the Demon Court and sought to use Di Jun and Tai Yi against Immortal Court.

Zhunti and Jieyin offered Di Jun a way to achieve a Heavenly Marriage without Xi He or Chang Xi in exchange for the Demon Court destroying the Immortal Court. After Tribulation Qi influenced Di Jun to accept, Zhunti revealed a woman born with the Taiyin Fate as a potential bride.

• Zhunti told Di Jun that the Demon Court would have to lead the attack on the Immortal Court, then offered him a Heavenly Marriage method in exchange for destroying it.
• Tribulation Qi entered Di Jun and stirred memories of humiliation, pushing him to accept Zhunti's terms despite Fuxi's warning.

• Zhunti explained that a Heavenly Marriage required a link to the Taiyin Star, not necessarily Xi He or Chang Xi.
• Zhunti produced a woman born with the Taiyin Fate, and Di Jun approved her as a potential bride.

Dijun spent fifty thousand years preparing a Taiyin Fate immortal to connect with the Taiyin Star, and Si Yue finally succeeded, allowing him to hold the Heavenly Marriage with her. The chapter ended as auspicious signs appeared and a cloud of merit formed above the Demon Court.

• Dijun brought Si Yue to the Taiyin Star and sent her into its core to connect with it, promising she could become the Demon Court Empress if she survived.
• The first Si Yue and three other Taiyin Fate immortals died attempting the connection, so the Demon Court raised a new Si Yue with greater potential.
• After thirty thousand years of cultivation, the new Si Yue entered the Taiyin Star's core and successfully connected with it a century later.
• Xi He and Chang Xi sensed Si Yue's success but paid little attention while helping Hong Yun with his Remnant Soul, and Ling Tian remained in seclusion.
• A thousand years later, Fuxi presided over the marriage of Dijun and Si Yue in the Thirty-three Heavens, and the assembled demons offered congratulations.
• Thunder, auspicious signs, and a cloud of merit appeared above the Demon Court in response to the Heavenly Marriage.

• Dijun absorbed the merit for a hundred years, then manifested his three corpses and reached the peak of Quasi-Sainthood.

After reaching Quasi-Saint Perfection, Di Jun announced that the Demon Court would soon invade Purple Mansion Continent and destroy the Immortal Court. The Ancestral Witches worried about the Demon Court’s growing strength, while Di Jiang expected Houtu to return from visiting the Old Ancestor.

• Di Jun was about to command the attack when something unexpected happened.

• Di Jun dispelled Kun Peng’s gales and commanded the Demon Clan to attack the Immortal Court.
• Di Jun, Tai Yi, Fuxi, Bai Ze, Jiu Ying, Ji Meng, and Gui Che unleashed their powers against the Immortal Court’s protective grand formation.

• Tai Yi was gravely injured and could barely hold on, while Di Jun regretted attacking the Immortal Court but could not accept watching his brother and army die.

• The Primordial Beings witnessed the Yin-Yang fish kill Zhunti with one strike, and Jieyin fled toward Zixiao Palace.
• Jieyin begged Ling Tian to spare him and invoked Hongjun and the Saints’ immortality, but Ling Tian refused and killed him too.

• The resurrected Zhunti and Jieyin decided to go complain to Hongjun, while Laozi and Yuanshi reacted with shock and suspicion.
• Laozi reflected on Daoist Zha Tian’s past rise, his long absence from prominence, and his sudden appearance to defeat the Saints as Kun Peng fought off the Demon Clan.

After Ling Tian killed Zunti and Jieyin and absorbed their Saint's Essence Blood, the Demon Clan tried to flee Purple Mansion Continent but found itself trapped by Zhenyuanzi’s Earth Realm. Kun Peng held Di Jun and Tai Yi captive and asked Ling Tian what to do with the prisoners.

• Ling Tian warned that if they refused, he could kill them and make Kun Peng the Demon Emperor.

• Di Jun and Tai Yi agreed to serve Ling Tian and handed over wisps of their True Spirits in exchange for his oath to return them after the calamity.
