Chapter Summaries

The [Nether Blood Mirror] briefly detected a spatial disturbance as the concealed [Nine Heavens Star Cloud Boat] passed nearby, prompting its passengers to change course toward the Thunder Abyss Forbidden Area.

• Prison Twelve concluded that the Thunder Abyss was the fugitives’ destination and vowed to meet them at the Path of Ascension.
• Aboard the Nine Heavens Star Cloud Boat, the old monsters discussed their approaching escape while Cheng Buzheng concealed his growing fear and admitted that his supposed transmission secret art was a lie.

• The Purgatory Progenitor appeared before the recovering cultivators and taunted them, leaving them facing his overwhelming presence.

The Spirit Transformation cultivators entered the Myriad Manifestations Pure Source River to escape the Purgatory Clan Progenitor, only to have their law origins and magic power drained away. As the Progenitor’s blood seal descended to crush the river, a vast white pillar of light enveloped it and stopped the attack.

• The Purgatory Clan Progenitor declared the void sealed, and the Spirit Transformation cultivators resolved to fight to the death.

• Demon Venerable Nether Sea led the Golden Flood Dragon Clan toward the outskirts of Purgatory Continent to await the Progenitor, while the remaining cultivators rushed into the river.
• The river extracted the cultivators’ law origins; Cheng Buzheng severed his dharma body from his true body, but its magic power was rapidly drained.
• The Purgatory Clan Progenitor summoned a gigantic blood seal to crush the river, but a vast white pillar of light formed a screen around it and received the blow.

Island-Moving Venerable activated the Myriad Manifestations Pure Source River and an ancient golden array that trapped the Purgatory Clan Progenitor while draining the Spirit Transformation cultivators inside.

• Island-Moving Venerable noticed Venerable Peach Blossom’s absence, found his bones and belongings, and assumed his lifespan had run out.
• Island-Moving Venerable decided the sacrifices were sufficient and watched the golden cage contract around the battered Purgatory Clan Progenitor.

Cheng Buzheng tried to return to the Forbidden Sea but found its routes blocked by a powerful ancient array, so he chose to seek a spatial wormhole in the True Dragon Sea instead. He departed from Profound Abyss Immortal City, intent on reaching the wormhole and pursuing the opportunity foretold by his divination.

• Cheng Buzheng summoned a restored dharma body and tried to use the Heart Spirit Teleportation Gate to reach the Forbidden Sea, but a golden barrier hurled it back.
• Cheng Buzheng adjusted the gate’s coordinates to a beacon hidden inside a Desolate Beast, but the golden barrier blocked the passage again and Dao Wen dissolved his attack.

• Cheng Buzheng’s dharma body arrived in a desolate valley ten thousand miles from Profound Abyss Immortal City and flew toward the True Dragon Sea.

Island-Moving Venerable trapped the Progenitor of the Purgatory Clan in a golden thunder cage, then the summoned Purgatory forces arrived and learned the Progenitor was imprisoned. The Progenitor urged them to attack the formation’s core, and they formed the Purgatory Blood Soul God-Slaying Array, threatening the other races as a crimson sun rose against the golden domain.

• The High Priest launched the chained runes toward the golden prison as the blood-colored sun collapsed, and Island-Moving Venerable watched with greedy anticipation.

Island-Moving Venerable and the High Priest transformed the golden cage into a devouring array to strip the Purgatory Progenitor of his origin. As Golden Flood Dragon Clan's Demon Venerables realized the danger and chose to wait, the trapped Progenitor understood the traitors’ goal and roared as he tried to break free.

• Island-Moving Venerable matched the blood-red runes to the golden cage, transforming its surface into an intertwined gold-and-crimson array.
• Golden Flood Dragon Clan's Demon Venerables saw the blood sun vanish, and Demon Venerable Nether Sea warned them not to approach the golden light, which they believed came from the Upper Realm senior refining their enemies.
• Island-Moving Venerable and the High Priest activated the transformed cage, replacing its power of suppression with plundering, devouring, and refining.

• The Purgatory Progenitor roared and commanded the cage to break.

Island-Moving Venerable and the High Priest’s thousand-year conspiracy to seize the Purgatory Progenitor’s Law Origin reached its climax as Prison Twelve fought back and escaped the cage’s destruction. The conspirators contained the remaining origin and erased Prison Twelve, while the Purgatory World-Extinguishing Millstone vanished into the currents of space-time.

• The dark mist corroded the final law particle, extinguishing its soul-light and completely erasing Prison Twelve from the world.

Island-Moving Venerable and the High Priest destroyed the Purgatory Clan Progenitor and used his remaining law origins to create two light spheres for comprehending the Blood Law. As they began their cultivation, Cheng Buzheng’s Dharma body arrived in the Forbidden Sea and secretly headed toward the battle at Thunder Abyss.

• The High Priest and Island-Moving Venerable reversed the Great Array’s darkness, purified the Progenitor’s remnants, and combined Dao Wen with crimson runes to form two light spheres.

Cheng Buzheng’s Dharma body secretly observed Island-Moving Venerable and the Purgatory Clan’s High Priest absorbing the Purgatory Progenitor’s law origins. He deduced that they had sacrificed the cultivators of both clans to activate the Great Array and destroy the Progenitor, then chose to wait for their alliance to collapse rather than risk confronting them.

• Cheng Buzheng’s Dharma body concealed itself in the spatial interlayer and watched Island-Moving Venerable and the High Priest absorb streams of blood-red origin particles.

• Cheng Buzheng stayed hidden and waited for greed over the Progenitor’s remaining origin to turn the pair against each other.

• The High Priest sensed the disturbance and erupted with power while meditating in the Forbidden Sea.

• The High Priest braced behind a barrier of Laws, wary that Island-Moving Venerable’s apparent formation might conceal a trump card requiring no preparation.

Island-Moving Venerable revealed that he had secretly preserved the blood-fiend power from his earlier apparent sacrifice and used it to trap the High Priest. The High Priest answered by manifesting the Blood God True Body, a transformation that Prison Twelve recognized as a Void Refinement Realm power.

• Cheng Buzheng saw Island-Moving Venerable summon four imitation Wild Cauldrons and suspected he was hiding another scheme.
• Island-Moving Venerable activated the Four Poles Great Array, then detonated the cauldrons and unleashed a blood-red net against the High Priest.

• The High Priest transformed into a colossal Blood God True Body, astonishing Cheng Buzheng and delighting Prison Twelve, who recognized the secret inheritance and its Void Refinement Realm power.

Cheng Buzheng watched as the High Priest’s Blood God True Body fought Island-Moving Venerable’s Four Extremes Great Array, while both opponents concealed advantages that shifted the balance of the battle.

• The High Priest struck the blood-colored heavenly net with a full-force punch, making it ripple and show its first signs of wavering.

Island-Moving Venerable detonated the four Wild Cauldrons to strike the High Priest, who survived with greatly diminished power and counterattacked. The two entered a stalemate as Island-Moving Venerable defended himself with the Myriad Manifestations Pure Source River, while the High Priest concealed a scheme.

• Island-Moving Venerable activated the Wild Cauldrons’ self-destruction, unleashing a devastating blast against the High Priest.

• Island-Moving Venerable blocked the attack with the Myriad Manifestations Pure Source River and decided to conserve his law origin by stalling.
• The High Priest repeatedly battered the river curtain, while a faint glimmer in his eyes suggested his attacks were part of a hidden scheme.

• Island-Moving Venerable reassembled and fled again, but the High Priest appeared before him and blocked his path, leaving Island-Moving Venerable with no apparent way out.

Island-Moving Venerable sacrificed himself in a devastating attack on the High Priest, leaving the High Priest weakened and the ownerless [Myriad Manifestations Pure Source River] behind. Cheng Buzheng prepared to ambush the survivor, reasoning that he had to sever the High Priest’s connection to the Great Array before it could be used against him.

• Island-Moving Venerable abandoned escape and ignited his body, soul, and origin laws in a final attack on the High Priest.
