Chapter Summaries

Jiang Che revealed overwhelming power by defeating the Quasi-Black Demon General and wiping out a hundred thousand White-Haired Ones after Immortal Mountain abandoned the valley residents. He healed Zhao Xisheng, then broke the Immortal Mountain Array with one punch and entered the mountain to confront its masters.

• When the Quasi-Black Demon General and countless White-Haired Ones broke into the valley, Zhao Xisheng failed to open the locked Immortal Mountain Array and stepped forward to protect the residents.
• Jiang Che held back the Quasi-Black Demon General’s strike, killed it with the power of his God Cell, and burned the hundred thousand White-Haired Ones to ash with the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss.

• After the mountain’s masters refused to open the array, Jiang Che warned them, punched the formation apart, and entered Immortal Mountain with Zhao Xisheng.

Jiang Che destroyed Immortal Mountain’s protective array, exposed its leaders’ weakness, and forced them to submit after punishing Xuanxiaozi and Chiyanzi. He made Zhao Xisheng the new leader and entered a secret chamber with Tianxingzi to ask about their cultivation system.

• Tianxingzi’s elders refused to open the array for Zhao Xisheng, suspecting the Quasi-Black Demon General had tricked him into asking for entry.

• Tianxingzi agreed, released the suppression with Jiang Che, and led him to a warded secret chamber to hear his questions.

Jiang Che learned that the Immortal Mountain’s Divine Envoy ancestor served the Titan God Clan, and that the Black Demon Calamity could only be stopped by gathering Primordial Power before the Lord of the Black Abyss’s reincarnation. He secured the location of a hidden base in the Far North Lands and the ancestor’s weapon, installed Zhao Xisheng as Immortal Mountain’s leader, and left to pursue the calamity.

• Tianxingzi explained that the Martial Saint Realm required Titan Cells and that the original cultivation technique was believed to lie in the sealed core of the Divine Envoy’s base in the Far North Lands.

• Jiang Che said goodbye to Zhao Xisheng and departed to seek a way to eradicate the Black Demon Calamity.

Jiang Che went to the Wutian Sword Sect seeking Primordial Power, after a jade talisman he had given Yan Juque destroyed a Great Grandmaster-level Quasi-Black Demon General. He obtained Primordial Power from the sect’s Founder’s broken sword, causing his God Cells to multiply, and left to pursue the next source.

• Jiang Che rode toward the Haotian Sword Sect, reasoning that Great Chu’s other great sects might possess Primordial Power.
• A Quasi-Black Demon General attacked the Wutian Sword Sect and overwhelmed Nangong Jianxin, Su Wuming, Pei Jingshan, Bai Han, and the other defenders.

• Jiang Che arrived and revealed his overwhelming aura before telling Nangong Jianxin that he sought Primordial Power to stop the Lord of the Black Abyss’s plan.
• Nangong Jianxin led Jiang Che to the Sword Stele, which Jiang Che shattered to uncover the Founder’s broken sword and its Primordial Power.
• Jiang Che absorbed the Primordial Power, multiplying his God Cells from four to eight, then gave Yan Juque another jade talisman and departed on the Cloud-Hidden Sky Wolf.

Jiang Che tested the Divine Grade Spear of World-Breaking, then traveled to the Prajna Zen Sect and absorbed its Primordial Power, doubling his God Cells to sixteen. As Moke sent Shiyuan east to confront the wielder of the spear, Jiang Che left for the Great Yan Kingdom to seek more Primordial Power and investigate the Heavenly Gate.

• Jiang Che used the Spear of World-Breaking and unleashed a beam powerful enough to pierce the atmosphere, but the attack drained all eight of his God Cells.
• Moke learned of the spear's strike, suspected Jiang Che had wielded it, and gave Shiyuan Origin Demon Blood to raise him to the peak of the Heavenly Human Realm before sending him east to kill the attacker.

Jiang Che discovered a Titan Warship Activation Key in Helian Zong’s corpse, and its power multiplied his God Cells from sixteen to sixty-four. At the Great Yan Imperial Palace, he found traces of the Key of Origin and Primordial Power, but Shiyuan attacked and evolved into a true Black Demon General during their fight.

• Shiyuan tracked Jiang Che’s trail to the Prajna Zen Sect, found no Primordial Power there, and continued pursuing him.
• Jiang Che reached the fallen Great Yan Kingdom, killed Helian Zong after he had become a giant White-Haired One, and found a Titan Warship Activation Key inside his chest.
• The key’s power caused Jiang Che’s God Cells to multiply from sixteen to sixty-four, greatly increasing his strength.
• Jiang Che searched the Great Yan Imperial Palace and sensed the Key of Origin and abundant Primordial Power underground, but Shiyuan arrived and challenged him.
• Jiang Che overwhelmed Shiyuan in combat, so Shiyuan crushed a dark crimson sphere and transformed into a true Black Demon General.

Jiang Che killed Shiyuan with the Spear of World-Breaking, then entered the Heavenly Gate and exposed the trap hidden behind its illusion. Destroying the heart that sustained the gate lifted the world's cultivation limit and advanced Jiang Che to the Undying Realm, but he feared the Lord of the Black Abyss would soon descend.

• Shiyuan sacrificed its Origin Demon Core to break through to the Immortal Realm, but Jiang Che vaporized it with the Spear of World-Breaking.
• The Heavenly Gate opened, and Jiang Che entered it, where beings in White Jade Capital tried to lure him into a golden hall with enchanted wine.

• Jiang Che read a parchment explaining that Great Yan’s ancestors based their Giant Spirit Demonic Martial Arts on the Key of Origin fragment and a Metal Cube, then resolved to visit the Divine Envoy Base in the Far North Lands.
• Nangong Jianxin and Holy Monk Fanji broke through to the Great Grandmaster Realm as the world’s cultivation shackles vanished, allowing many peak experts to advance while others died attempting it.
• Moke sensed Jiang Che’s dark-golden pillar of light, realized Shiyuan had been killed, and ordered a Quasi-Black Demon General to keep searching for Primordial Power as he awaited his true body’s descent.

• Chloe gave Jiang Che the complete advancement manual, which he absorbed into his mind.

After learning that stopping the Lord of the Black Abyss’s descent would not save his world, he entered the Reality Realm through a passage aboard the wrecked warship to seek a route to the Tower of Origin.

• Jiang Che admitted to Chloe that he was not Marcus, and she explained that he had already been registered as a newly appointed Divine Envoy.
• Chloe told Jiang Che that he needed to reach the Tower of Origin for advancement, and that he could use the Reality Realm as a shortcut if he secured passage from the True Spirits.

• Valentine pushed his gigantic head through the rift, introduced himself as Lord of the Black Abyss, and declared that the realm belonged to him.

Jiang Che entered the ruined Tower of Origin, learned how Valentine became the Lord of the Black Abyss and why he planned to harvest Jiang Che’s world, then accepted the succession as Chief.

• Chloe led Jiang Che to the Pool of Origin, where the remaining High-Order Divine Fluid transformed his cells into God Cells and raised him to the Martial Saint (True God State).

After discovering that the Lord of the Black Abyss had descended upon the Human World, Jiang Che returned from the Tower of Origin and learned that the True Spirit King, Augustus, regarded him as the only hope against Valentine. Augustus gave Jiang Che a Dimensional Seal Anchor to prevent Valentine from escaping, and Jiang Che set out through a Realm Passage to return to the Human World.

• Jiang Che used the Star Disk of Myriad Worlds and saw the Lord of the Black Abyss's true body above the Human World, so he left the Tower of Origin at once.
• The True Spirit military discovered that Jiang Che had entered the Tower, and Augustus told Mundo that Valentine was the corrupted former Chief and threatened both the Human World and the Reality Realm.

• Augustus explained that Jiang Che could face Valentine in the Human World, then gave him the Dimensional Seal Anchor so Valentine could not flee if the fight went badly.
• Jiang Che warned Augustus that he would hold the True Spirit Clan accountable for its crimes against humans, then entered the Royal Court's Realm Passage to return to the Human World.
