Chapter Summaries

Dihuan Realm’s plans expanded as Blessed Cultivator Legacies helped stabilize its forces, while its armies attacked Devil Realm Worlds and it integrated affiliated realms. Emperor Xieyuan realized Dihuan Realm was accelerating its rise toward a Great Thousand Realm and asked whether it had made any other strange moves.

• The Li Family Patriarch decided to seek a Blessed Cultivator Legacy to save his struggling family, despite having to sell its remaining treasures to pay for one.
• Dihuan Realm’s forces exchanged for Blessed Cultivator Legacies, opened Blessed Lands, sealed some wormhole passages, and established Azure Devil Realm intelligence strongholds.
• Dihuan Realm migrated people from its affiliated realms and sent cultivators into eighteen Devil Realm Worlds, where reports of rapid breakthroughs drew more recruits into the Demon Hunting Allied Armies.
• Emperor Xieyuan gathered Mahayana Azure Devil experts and learned of Dihuan Realm’s attacks on eighteen affiliated Devil Realms and its migration and Spirit Vein excavation in affiliated worlds.
• Emperor Xieyuan concluded that Dihuan Realm intended to integrate its affiliated realms and accelerate its ascension, then asked his intelligence gatherers about any other strange moves.

Emperor Xieyuan ordered the Azure Devil Realm to imitate Dihuan Realm’s expansion plans and launch a massive invasion to slow its growth. Azure Devil armies spread slaughter across Dihuan Realm, and Bing Qingyuan and other Human Race experts discovered the attack and reported it to their sects and the Dihuan Realm Alliance.

• An Azure Devil Race intelligence scout told Emperor Xieyuan that Dihuan Realm was promoting a Blessed Cultivator Legacy, and he ordered his experts to investigate it and oppose Dihuan Realm’s plans.
• After suspecting Dihuan Realm intended to absorb the eighteen Devil Realm Worlds under attack, Emperor Xieyuan decided to merge Azure Devil Realm’s affiliated worlds and mobilize seventy percent of its Golden Core Realm to Void Glimpse Realm cultivators.
• Emperor Xieyuan divided the conscripted cultivators into three armies tasked with invading Dihuan Realm, targeting its affiliated worlds, and stopping the Human Race’s campaigns in the eighteen Devil Realm Worlds.
• Azure Devil armies entered Dihuan Realm and its affiliated realms, massacring settlements and destroying Spirit Lands as Human Race regions struggled to repel the sudden invasion.
• Bing Qingyuan killed an invading Azure Devil force near a city in Qingzhou, Eastern Domain, then hurried toward another force attacking a Human Race city and reported the invasion to Xuantian Sect.
• Other Human Race experts tracking Azure Devil Wormhole Passages encountered the invading armies, attacked them, and alerted their sects or the Dihuan Realm Alliance.

The Azure Devil Race launched a coordinated, large-scale invasion across Dihuan Realm, prompting Ye Qingxuan and the realm’s major forces to mobilize against them. As Alliance forces began destroying the invasion’s wormhole passages, Ye Qingxuan sent guards to vulnerable cities and set out to protect his branch cities.

• Ye Qingxuan's clones discovered Azure Devil Race armies massacring humans near Nanxuan City, Xixuan City, and Beixuan City, and killed the invading forces they encountered.
• Cen Zhe ordered Xuantian Sect’s high-level elders, including Yu Xueqing, to leave the sect and fight the invading Azure Devil Race.
• Ye Qingxuan considered the danger to his branch cities and ordered Xueyu, Luo Tian, and Bai Shuqing to guard Nanxuan City, Xixuan City, and Beixuan City.
• Ye Qingxuan’s External Incarnation left Xingluo Dongxuan City to patrol East Extremity Domain and destroy Azure Devil Realm wormhole passages near his branch cities.
• Xianxuan Zi and the other rotating Mahayana Realm Experts ordered Dihuan Realm’s forces to sweep the domains and advance the plan to destroy the wormhole passages.
• Major forces across Dihuan Realm dispatched cultivators to attack the invaders and destroy wormhole passages, and the Outer Four Domains began carrying out the Alliance’s orders.

As the Human Race Demon Hunting Allied Army advanced through the Desolate Devil Realm, dwindling Azure Devil Race survivors made it harder for rear-area cultivators like Li Dequan to earn the 3,000 Merit points needed to search for treasures. At the front line, commander Liu Yuanjun sensed danger and ordered a level-one battle alert.

• Li Dequan's squad used Tier Five Nuclear Explosion Pills to kill an encircled Azure Devil Race group before Sun Lao Er's squad could claim the kills.
• Li Dequan planted a Tier 5 Spirit Purifying Tree in a valley, distributed the squad's 1,500 Merit points, and worried that he remained more than 900 points short of the required total.
• Li Dequan and his squad debated moving closer to the front line to find more Azure Devil Race members, though they feared encountering a Spirit Transformation Realm enemy.
• Liu Yuanjun asked Bai Yu how long the conquest would take and learned the army expected to need another half year.
• Liu Yuanjun sensed something wrong deep in the battle line and ordered everyone to prepare for a level-one battle alert.

Liu Yuanjun’s forces encountered more than a hundred thousand reinforcements from the Azure Devil Realm and withdrew when their stretched formation line neared collapse. The Human Allied Army regrouped with the other commanders and launched a massive battle that spread across half the Desolate Devil Realm, leaving both sides locked in relentless combat.

• Liu Yuanjun warned the other commanders and ordered the Human Allied Army to prepare for the approaching Azure Devil Realm reinforcements.
• Liu Yuanjun attacked first, but a Peak Spirit Transmutation Realm Azure Devil blocked his strike as both armies exchanged attacks and the Human formation line began to fail.
• Liu Yuanjun ordered the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to retreat, led the Spirit Transmutation Realm experts in a fighting withdrawal, and destroyed the failing formation line.
• Liu Yuanjun and his forces joined the other Human Army experts at the rear base camp, where nearly two hundred thousand Human Nascent Soul Realm and Spirit Transmutation Realm experts assembled.
• The seven Human Allied Army leaders charged the Azure Devil Race reinforcements, and the battle spread across half the Desolate Devil Realm as cultivators on both sides fought amid the realm’s destruction.

The Azure Devil Race’s reinforcements turned the Dihuan Realm’s campaign to seize the Desolate Devil Realm and other Devil Realm Worlds into a grinding war, while invasions spread across the Dihuan Realm. Heavenly Star Sect pressed on despite mounting losses, but Xuantian Sect refused to send help, leaving the conflict unresolved.

• The Heavenly Star Sect Grand Elder suggested a truce after Human Race cultivators suffered heavy losses in the Desolate Devil Realm, but the Heavenly Star Sect Master refused to abandon the campaign for its Rule Crystals and Law Crystals.
• As news of the battlefield spread, cultivators withdrew from the Demon Hunting Allied Army, and the Heavenly Star Sect Master sought reinforcements from Wuya Sect and Nanming Palace while planning to request aid from Xuantian Sect, Tianyuan Sect, and the Huangfu Immortal Clan.
• Yao Qiudao asked Cen Zhe whether Xuantian Sect would answer the allied armies’ request for help, and Cen Zhe refused because the sect needed its forces to defend the Dihuan Realm and its affiliated Lesser Thousand Realms.
• Cen Zhe learned that Xuantian Sect had received no information from the Endless Sea Domain and hoped its Human Race experts would repel the Azure Devil Race there.
• The Dihuan Realm Alliance warned cultivators to return from the Azure Devil Realm and organized sweeps against the invaders, reducing their destruction while many Human Race mortals and spirit lands still suffered.
• Azure Devil Race reinforcements stalled the Human Race campaigns across all eighteen targeted Devil Realm Worlds, while battles also spread through affiliated Lesser Thousand Realms and the Endless Sea Domain.

Azure Blue Sect’s Sect Master sacrificed himself to freeze an invading Azure Devil Race force, and decades later Lan Bing’er led reinforcements from Heaven Origin Continent to free the surviving sect members. As the Dihuan Realm Alliance considered aiding the struggling armies in the Devil Realm Worlds, the decision remained unresolved.

• Azure Blue Sect’s Sect Master sacrificed his Spiritual Power Void Realm and Primordial Spirit to activate the Azure Blue Profound Ice, freezing the Azure Devil Race force and the Human Race cultivators with them.
• Lan Bing’er led the surviving Azure Blue Sect disciples away and split them into three squads to seek aid from Heaven Origin Continent and two Medium Continents.
• After decades of war, the squads reunited on Heaven Origin Continent, where Lan Bing’er secured Heavenly Fire Venerate’s help for Azure Blue Continent.
• Heavenly Fire Venerate unsealed the surviving Azure Blue Sect cultivators, destroyed the frozen Azure Devil Race members, collected their corpses, and departed.
• The Dihuan Realm Alliance convened to consider sending reinforcements to the Eighteen Demon Hunting Allied Armies, whose forces were depleted after fifty years of fighting.

The Dihuan Realm Alliance debated how to respond to the costly stalemate in the Devil Realm Worlds and approved Cen Zhe’s plan to seize five worlds while abandoning four distant battlefronts. The Alliance also agreed to establish branches in the Endless Sea Domain, and Cen Zhe proposed restoring inter-prefecture teleportation and holding a unified recruitment ceremony.

• Xianxuan Zi urged the Alliance to withdraw from the Eighteen Devil Realm Worlds because continued fighting was draining Human Race forces and risking their future.
• Cen Zhe proposed combining the Inner Five Domains’ forces to capture five Devil Realm Worlds, while the Outer Four Domains held its four battlefronts in exchange for Alliance rewards.
• The Lingxiao Temple Master and the Mahayana experts approved Cen Zhe’s plan and agreed to coordinate the campaign with the allied armies.
• The Lingxiao Temple Master proposed sending twelve Tribulation Crossing Realm teams to establish Alliance branches and communication arrays in the Endless Sea Domain, and the experts approved.
• Cen Zhe proposed upgrading the Dihuan Realm’s inter-prefecture teleportation arrays and holding a unified recruitment ceremony for Human Race juniors.

The Dihuan Realm Alliance approved plans to upgrade teleportation arrays in the Inner Five Domains and establish branches in the Endless Sea Domain, then sought cooperation from the Outer Four Domains. At the East Extremity Domain Branch, leaders disputed the crystal shares offered for delaying the Azure Devil Race, and Ye Qingxuan recommended taking 5% of Origin Crystals and Rule Crystals.

• The Lingxiao Temple Master approved Cen Zhe's proposal and assigned major Hegemon-level Forces to upgrade arrays and establish branches, with the Grand Alliance covering costs.
• The Inner Five Domains' fourteen Demon Hunting Allied Armies agreed to cooperate, while disputes broke out among the Outer Four Domains' branches.
• Ling Yunhai explained that the East Extremity Domain Branch was expected to hold back the Azure Devil Race in the Youquan Realm and offered a choice between a 3% share of all three crystal types or 5% of Origin and Rule Crystals.
• Gan Wuji and other experts objected to the shares, but Ling Yunhai warned that rejecting the mission would leave them with no crystals.
• Ye Qingxuan said the 3% share was not small given the branch's limited role and recommended choosing 5% of Origin Crystals and Rule Crystals.

Ling Yunhai forced the East Extremity Domain’s Void Comprehension Realm Experts to accept a five-percent share of Origin Crystals and Rule Crystals for the Grand Alliance Mission. Ye Qingxuan returned to Xingluo Dongxuan City, entrusted Jun Moyan, Li Gexiao, and Shi Huang with the upcoming Purple Mansion Realm Competition, and reflected on how Xingluo State had nurtured a new generation of cultivators despite the Azure Devil invasion.

• The Void Comprehension Realm Experts debated their mission rewards, and Ling Yunhai gave them the choice of abandoning the mission or accepting one of two fixed resource shares.
• Gan Wuji chose a five-percent share of Origin Crystals and Rule Crystals, and Ling Yunhai warned the experts that their rewards depended on holding back the Azure Devil Race Army.
• Ye Qingxuan left the great hall, recognizing that Dongxuan City had contributed few fighters to the Demon Hunting Allied Army and would receive little of the resource shares.
• Back at Wan Ling Mountain, Ye Qingxuan assigned Jun Moyan, Li Gexiao, and Shi Huang to oversee Xingluo State’s upcoming Purple Mansion Realm Competition.
• Ye Qingxuan recalled that many competitors from earlier generations had reached the Peak Spirit Transmutation Realm, while about one-third of the first competition’s finalists had died in the invasion.

Ye Qingxuan perfected the Brand New Blessed Cultivation Path by creating Cave Heaven and Blessed Land origin seeds, hoping it would help his Subordinates advance. He sent three clones toward the coming campaign against the Five Great Demon Realm Worlds and joined the Demon Hunting Allied Army preparing to attack the Azure Devil Realm.

• Ye Qingxuan worried that Liu Feifeng, Li Mu, Jiang Wen, and Jiang Yinyin might fail their Void Glimpse Realm breakthroughs, and hoped his new cultivation path would give them a way to keep advancing.
• Ye Qingxuan condensed a Source Seed from Qingxuan Blessed Land’s origin, then made another in Qingxuan Cave Heaven and named them a Blessed Land origin seed and a Cave Heaven origin seed.
• Ye Qingxuan found that his Subordinates still showed no sign of breakthrough after decades, then sent three Spirit Transformation Realm clones through Realm Gates toward three Devil Realm Worlds to seek crystals.
• Ye Qingxuan’s clone arrived in Central State City and traveled to the Azure Devil Realm campaign’s staging area, where he joined the Demon Hunting Allied Army and received a Demon Hunter Edict.
• The Allied Army official told Ye Qingxuan that the general offensive would begin in three days and that he needed three thousand Merit to qualify for protection while collecting crystals.

Ye Qingxuan agreed to surrender half the crystals he obtained and waited with the gathered forces for the Dihuan Realm Alliance’s assault on the Azure Devil Realm. The army overwhelmed the Azure Devil Race in less than a day, and the commanders ordered their forces to prepare formations while pursuing the survivors.

• Ye Qingxuan accepted the requirement to hand over half of his Origin Crystals, Rule Crystals, and Law Crystals, then waited three days for the assault.
• A richly dressed Little Fatty invited Ye Qingxuan to join the Wang Family’s planned Spirit Transformation Legion, but Ye Qingxuan declined and dismissed his warning about competition for Demon Hunting Merit.
• After nearly a hundred thousand Spirit Transformation Realm experts gathered, a Void Glimpse Realm Human ordered them into the Azure Devil Realm, and Ye Qingxuan hurried toward its central battlefield.
• Ye Qingxuan killed a Spirit Transmutation Middle Stage Azure Devil Race member, gained five thousand Demon Hunting Merit, and continued attacking Azure Devil Race fighters.
• The Human Race army killed nearly ninety-seven percent of the Azure Devil Race in less than a day, while fewer than a hundred Peak Spirit Transmutation Realm survivors escaped.
• The Allied Army commanders ordered early and middle-stage experts to establish the Traction Great Formation and Detonation Great Formation, while late-stage and peak experts pursued the survivors.

After the Human Allied Army destroyed the Azure Devil Realm’s Magic Veins, the realm lost its Lesser Thousand Realm Status and crystals rained from the sky. As Ye Qingxuan collected crystals, the deployed Traction Great Formation activated, and a Mahayana Realm Expert in the Dihuan Realm confirmed that it had worked.

• Ye Qingxuan waited while Allied Army forces deployed Traction Great Formation Bases and Detonation Great Formations, and the remaining Azure Devil Race members either fell or escaped through the Cross-border Channel.
• Several thousand Azure Devil Race elites descended into the Azure Devil Realm, but more than ten thousand Human Race Experts quickly surrounded them.
• The Allied Army Commanders ordered every Magic Vein to be detonated, and the resulting destruction caused the Azure Devil Realm to lose its Lesser Thousand Realm Status and shed crystals.
• Ye Qingxuan flew to gather crystals and drove off a Peak Spirit Transmutation Realm Expert and three Spirit Transmutation Late Stage Experts who contested them.
• The Allied Army’s Traction Great Formation Bases activated across the Azure Devil Realm, awakening a Traction Great Formation Mother Formation in the Dihuan Realm.
• A Mahayana Realm Expert guarding the Mother Formation saw it activate and said that the plan had worked.

The Human Race captured the Azure Devil Realm’s five affiliated worlds and used their formations to pull them toward Dihuan Realm. Emperor Xieyuan abandoned an attempt to destroy the worlds and ordered the Azure Devil Race to absorb its remaining affiliated worlds before launching a major invasion of the Human Race’s affiliated realms.

• Human allied armies captured Star Abyss Realm, Taihui Realm, Demon Sage Realm, and Blood Azure Realm, and activated the formations that began pulling the five worlds toward Dihuan Realm.
• Great Venerable Moxie learned that the cross-border channels to all five realms had stopped working and alerted Emperor Xieyuan and the Azure Devil Realm’s Mahayana experts.
• Emperor Xieyuan entered the void with the Azure Devil Race’s experts, but Lingxiao Temple Master and the Human Race’s Mahayana experts blocked them from attacking the five worlds, so he retreated.
• Azure Devil Race experts urged Emperor Xieyuan to retaliate, and Moxing proposed attacking Dihuan Realm’s affiliated worlds in return.
• Emperor Xieyuan ordered the Azure Devil Realm to forcibly absorb all its affiliated worlds, then prepare a massive invasion while continuing to send elite cultivators to disrupt Human Race realms.

The Azure Devil Realm’s five affiliated worlds entered the Dihuan Realm, where its Heaven and Earth Rules absorbed their energy and began assimilating them. The rules also dispelled the Human Race’s backlash curses and granted cultivators Living Being Destiny, while the five worlds descended toward the Endless Sea Domain.

• Emperor Xieyuan persuaded the Azure Devil Race Mahayana experts to merge their affiliated worlds into the Azure Devil Realm and prepare to strike the Human Race.
• Three months later, the Lingxiao Temple Master and other Mahayana experts escorted five affiliated worlds through the void and into the Dihuan Realm, where its rules absorbed their Devil Qi and World Origin and compressed them into ordinary worlds.
• Ye Qingxuan noticed that the Azure Devil Realm’s backlash curses had vanished, and he and other Human Race cultivators discovered they had received Living Being Destiny from the Dihuan Realm’s Heaven and Earth Rules.
• Ye Qingxuan connected Living Being Destiny to fortune and reasoned that contributions to the Dihuan Realm, including protecting people and cultivating forces, could earn it.
• The five worlds broke free from their original formations and fell toward the Endless Sea Domain, where Human Race experts followed them.
• Three days later, the five worlds landed in the eastern reaches of the Endless Sea Domain.

The Human Race Cultivators returned from the Five Devil Realm Lesser Thousand Realms to their respective regions, where Rogue Cultivators had to surrender part of their crystal spoils. After Ye Qingxuan refused Taiyu Sect’s attempt to buy his Rule Crystals and Law Crystals, a Taiyu Sect expert blocked his way and pressured him to sell, leaving the confrontation unresolved.

• Five Tribulation Crossing Realm Experts gathered the Human Race Cultivators from the five newly formed continents and transported them back to their regions aboard Flying Ships.
• The Taiyu Sect Master brought his group to Central State City and required Rogue Cultivators and other unaffiliated cultivators to surrender fifty percent of their crystals before leaving the Flying Ship.
• Ye Qingxuan handed over the required crystals, and a Taiyu Sect cultivator verified the amount before letting him leave.
• A Taiyu Sect Void Glimpse Realm Expert intercepted Ye Qingxuan outside the central plaza and offered to buy his Rule Crystals and Law Crystals, but Ye Qingxuan refused.
• The Taiyu Sect expert blocked Ye Qingxuan again, warned him that his crystals made him a target, and used his killing intent and aura to pressure him into selling.

Ye Qingxuan exposed Gu Wuyan of Taiyu Sect for pressuring him into a forced purchase, prompting Central State City's authorities to imprison Gu Wuyan and draw Taiyu Sect's anger. He returned through the Realm Gate to Qingxuan Cave Heaven, while Taiyu Sect began investigating him and Gan Xundao warned him to stay in the city.

• Ye Qingxuan resisted Gu Wuyan's pressure and loudly accused him of violating Central State City's rules to force a purchase of his crystals.
• Ye Qingxuan's accusation drew attention from nearby cultivators, and Taiyu Sect's Sect Master watched as the crowd condemned the sect.
• Central State City's City Lord sentenced Gu Wuyan to three hundred years in the Blazing Prison Tower; after Gu Wuyan resisted enforcement, the sentence increased by two hundred years.
• Taiyu Sect's Sect Master ordered his cultivators to investigate Ye Qingxuan, and Gan Xundao warned Ye Qingxuan that leaving the city could put his life at risk.
• Ye Qingxuan returned to his shop, entered the Realm Gate, and went back to Qingxuan Cave Heaven in the Eastern Domain.

Ye Qingxuan allocated the crystals gathered by his clones and considered how to test the Brand New Blessed Cultivation Path. When Ye Zhaoheng’s breakthrough into the Void Glimpse Realm failed and his Spiritual Power Void Realm Embryo collapsed, Ye Qingxuan saved him and proposed that he switch cultivation paths.

• The Taiyu Sect Master learned that Ye Qingxuan had entered the Mysterious Shop and ordered his disciples to watch Ye Qingxuan until he left Central State City.
• Ye Qingxuan divided the Origin Crystals, Rule Crystals, and Law Crystals among rewards, Dongxuan City’s treasury, and the growth of Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
• Ye Qingxuan considered candidates for testing the Brand New Blessed Cultivation Path, then sent Ye Qingshuang a message asking her to return.
• Ye Qingxuan planned to refine Mid-grade Spirit Treasures and Tier 8 Array Diagrams, but noticed Ye Zhaoheng beginning his Void Glimpse Realm breakthrough.
• Ye Zhaoheng’s breakthrough failed, and Ye Qingxuan used Boundary Suppressing to seal his collapsing Spiritual Power Void Realm Embryo.
• Ye Qingxuan reassured Ye Zhaoheng and told him to switch to the Brand New Blessed Cultivation Path.

Ye Qingxuan explained his new Blessed Cultivation Path to Ye Zhaoheng and revealed that its Self Path could solve Ye Zhaoheng’s current crisis. After Ye Zhaoheng began nurturing two Source Seeds, Ye Qingxuan reflected on how the new paths could advance his own World Map and Spiritual Power Void Realm.

• Ye Qingxuan transmitted the new Blessed Cultivator Legacy to Ye Zhaoheng and explained the Artifact Path, Heaven and Earth Path, and Self Path.
• Ye Qingxuan told Ye Zhaoheng that only Blessed Cultivation - Self Path could resolve his current problem, and Ye Zhaoheng agreed to switch.
• Ye Qingxuan gave Ye Zhaoheng a Cave Heaven source seed and a Blessed Land source seed, then stood guard as Ye Zhaoheng began nurturing them with his Essence Qi Spirit Origin.
• Ye Qingxuan considered how his World Map and Spiritual Power Void Realm were slowly transforming toward real worlds and how the new cultivation paths could accelerate their growth.

Ye Qingxuan helped Ye Zhaoheng begin nourishing his Cave Heaven and Blessed Land Origin Seeds with Spirit Stone energy, then assessed the growth of his own Mustard Seed Origin Realms and began condensing more origin seeds. The chapter ended with Ye Qingxuan considering how origin-seed grades and the three Blessed Cultivation paths affected world growth and comprehension of rules.

• Ye Zhaoheng brought his Cave Heaven Origin Seed and Blessed Land Origin Seed under control, and Ye Qingxuan supplied thirty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones for him to nourish them without using his unstable Spiritual Power.
• Ye Qingxuan saw that Ye Zhaoheng's origin seeds were growing safely but slowly, estimating they would need three months to become Mustard Seed Origin Realms.
• Ye Qingxuan inspected his four Mustard Seed Origin Realms, supplied them with Spiritual Power, and estimated they needed about three more years to transform enough for his planned cultivation paths.
• Ye Qingxuan chose to condense more origin seeds while waiting for Ye Zhaoheng's progress, using the Heaven and Earth Root Source of Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
• Ye Qingxuan explained how origin-seed grades affected growth and compared the world-building and rule-comprehension advantages of the Heaven and Earth, Artifact, and Self paths.
