Chapter Summaries

Xia Ping recognized the danger of the True Demon God’s temple and killed the Minotaur examiner before it could announce a test. The temple accepted this as a victory and granted him the qualification to inherit the True Demon God’s legacy, but he still had to pass three further conditions.

• The Minotaur considered ways to defeat Xia Ping, wary of his strength and planning an examination that favored itself.
• Xia Ping asked the Minotaur to die, then struck it with Indra Finger infused with Hell Golden Crow Flame.
• The flame burned the Minotaur’s body and soul to ash before it could begin the examination.
• Xia Ping explained to the system that the trial had started when he entered the temple and that defeating the examiner by any means counted as passing.
• A mechanical voice announced that Xia Ping had defeated Examiner No. 10022222...333 and qualified to inherit the True Demon God’s legacy.
• The system noted that Xia Ping still had to pass three conditions to survive and inherit the True Demon God’s power.

After the minotaur examiner died, the divine palace’s restrictions vanished and dozens of Invincible Realm demons entered its trial hall. Xia Ping discovered that the minotaur had made them rival inheritors, but as chief examiner he could issue trials and still claim the Demon God’s inheritance by defeating them.

• The examiner’s death caused the palace’s restriction formations to collapse, revealing its many palaces to the demons outside.
• Dozens of Invincible Realm demons entered the palace and were teleported to a trial hall, where they spotted Doom Demon Fengdu and discussed whether to attack him.
• Xia Ping realized the minotaur had lifted the restrictions in retaliation, making the newly arrived demons fellow inheritors whom he had to defeat.
• Xia Ping inherited the chief examiner’s authority and stepped forward, intending to issue trial missions to the demons.

Xia Ping tricked the Invincible Realm demons into violating the True Demon God Hall’s taboo against lying, triggering a petrifying domain that turned many of them into stone. The orange demon escaped with the survivors aboard the Boat of the Other Shore, though the True Demon God's power began eroding the vessel as it fled.

• Xia Ping asked the orange demon and the other demons whether they had come to seal him, and their denial triggered the True Demon God Hall’s punishment for lying.
• The Demon God domain petrified the demons at the front, and the golden demon recognized the hall and warned that its taboo would kill anyone who lied.
• More Invincible Realm demons tried to flee but were caught and turned to stone as the gray domain spread.
• The golden demon urged the survivors to escape the domain, and the orange demon summoned the Boat of the Other Shore.
• The orange demon and the surviving demons boarded the skiff, then fled into chaos as the domain began to erode the boat.

The surviving invincible demons escaped the Demon God Ruins and blamed Fengdu for the deaths of their companions, resolving to kill him when he emerged. Before they could act, Green Lotus Hell shook as the Void Monsters began an all-out assault.

• The Other Shore Boat carried the demons out of the Demon God Ruins before the imitation vessel collapsed, leaving only a dozen or twenty survivors.
• The orange demon cursed Fengdu for causing the deaths of several dozen invincible demons, while the green demon regretted underestimating Doom Demons.
• The crimson demon urged the survivors to guard the ruins' entrance and kill or seal Fengdu when he came out.
• The demons agreed to stop plotting against one another and wait for Fengdu, determined to kill him immediately.
• Green Lotus Hell shook violently, and a crimson demon realized the Void Monsters had begun their all-out assault.

The demons learned that the Void Monsters had launched an unexpectedly early all-out invasion of Green Lotus Hell, just after the True Demon God’s power had devastated them. They rallied to resist the attackers while Xia Ping remained unaware of the crisis inside the divine temple.

• The golden, orange, scarlet, and white demons blamed the Doom Demon’s power for the Void Monsters’ premature assault and argued over their failed plan to kill it.
• The scarlet and golden demons urged the survivors to gather the invincible demons and ancient demons to defend themselves, since they could not return to the Demon God Ruins.
• Countless Void Monsters swarmed toward Green Lotus Hell, their evil auras darkening the entire high-level hell.
• The World-Ending Bell sounded at its highest alert, and the demons concluded they had to fight the invading Void Monsters.
• Xia Ping remained inside the divine temple, unaware that Green Lotus Hell was under attack.

Xia Ping planned to use a clone to inherit the True Demon God's power, avoiding the strict requirements and protecting his main body's future. He decided to create a Kunpeng Clone using the Eternal Clock before entering the inheritance ground.

• The temple announced that Xia Ping had qualified to inherit the True Demon God's legacy, and a gate opened to the inheritance ground.
• Green Ox warned Xia Ping that the final trial was dangerous and that his nature seemed incompatible with the inheritance's conditions.
• Xia Ping explained that a newly created clone could meet the requirements of never having lied or broken a promise, while keeping the inheritance from binding his main body to the Demon God's path.
• Xia Ping rejected his existing clones and chose to create a fourth clone based on the blood of the mythical Kunpeng.
• Xia Ping said he would use the Eternal Clock to make one second outside equal one year inside the Classic of Mountains and Seas, giving him time to condense the Kunpeng Clone.

Xia Ping used the Eternal Clock to create enough time to refine his fourth clone from Kunpeng blood. After more than a year inside the Classic of Mountains and Seas World, he succeeded and discovered the clone’s overwhelming command of space and time and its nearly absolute defenses.

• Green Ox realized the Eternal Clock could give Xia Ping enough time to refine his fourth clone, and Xia Ping returned to the Classic of Mountains and Seas World to begin.
• Xia Ping activated the Eternal Clock, freezing time across hundreds of millions of miles, and used the Great Origin Clone Technique to study Kunpeng’s divine blood.
• After more than a year, Xia Ping refined his fourth clone, a mythical Kunpeng whose immense physical power rivaled Gaia’s.
• Xia Ping discovered that the Kunpeng clone could move freely through space and time, pass through world barriers, and repel attacks with its runes.
• Xia Ping recognized the clone’s ability as Impervious to All Arts and integrated the true Kunpeng’s powers into his martial arts.

Xia Ping ended his accelerated seclusion after his Kunpeng clone reached the Ancient Realm, then sent the clone to the True Demon God's temple to claim the inheritance. The clone found the True Demon God's divine spark and grasped it as the inheritance began.

• Xia Ping discovered that his Kunpeng clone could devour and refine matter in its belly, but the newborn clone needed greater cultivation to withstand the True Demon God's inherited power.
• After another year of seclusion, the Kunpeng clone devoured a Creation Fruit and reached the Ancient Realm before hitting a bottleneck.
• Xia Ping left the Eternal Clock's Spacetime Domain, released the human-shaped Kunpeng clone, and told Green Ox that he had succeeded.
• Xia Ping sent the clone to the True Demon God's temple while his original body stayed behind in the Classic of Mountains and Seas World.
• The Kunpeng clone passed through the temple's light gate and found a blood-red crystal on an altar in an empty palace; the system identified it as the True Demon God's divine spark and ultimate inheritance.
• A mechanical voice instructed Xia Ping to touch the crystal, and he was drawn to seize it.

Xia Ping passed the True Demon God's test and inherited its blood-red divine spark, which began transforming his Kunpeng Clone and deepened his understanding of the laws. After several days of refining its power, he discovered he had also become the master of the True Temple.

• The True Demon God's voice tested Xia Ping's honesty and promise-keeping, and the blood-red crystal confirmed that he had passed the inheritance requirements.
• The crystal merged into Xia Ping's sea of consciousness, releasing energy that his Kunpeng Clone absorbed while its own strength suppressed the divine spark's power.
• Xia Ping sensed the True Demon God's Dao within the crystal and compared its gradual transformation of his clone to the Hell Golden Crow Bloodline he had obtained earlier.
• The System clarified that Xia Ping had received purified Hell Golden Crow bloodline power, not a divine spark, and that it carried none of the Hell Golden Crow's Dao or obligations.
• After several days of refining the True Demon God's power, Xia Ping gained control of the True Temple and learned that its formations drew energy from the divine spark and hell's origin.

Xia Ping discovered that the True Temple could not be moved and uncovered the True Demon God’s accumulated power and abilities. He learned about three abilities—Making Falsehood Real, the World of Lies, and the Demon God’s Promise—and wondered what force had caused the True Demon God to fall.

• Xia Ping found that the True Temple was fixed in place and that his Kunpeng Clone was only the True Demon God’s successor, not the temple’s full controller.
• Xia Ping discovered a chaotic sphere in the temple’s core containing power accumulated from Hell’s source over countless eras.
• Xia Ping learned that Making Falsehood Real could alter reality, memories, and karma through the True Demon God’s words.
• Xia Ping learned that the World of Lies could make widely believed stories real and bind their creations to the True Demon God.
• Xia Ping learned that the Demon God’s Promise enforced contracts with lethal retribution for lies and broken promises, then wondered what had caused the True Demon God’s fall.

Xia Ping learned from Green Lotus Hell’s origin will that billions of Void Monsters had overrun the realm and were devouring its origin. With the monsters threatening him as well, he prepared to act, and Green Lotus Hell’s will assured him that the temple could provide enough power to defeat them.

• Green Lotus Hell’s origin will broke through the temple’s restrictions and asked Xia Ping to save the realm.
• The origin will showed Xia Ping visions of the Void Monsters breaching the defenses, killing countless demons, and consuming Green Lotus Hell’s origin.
• Xia Ping realized that the deaths had intensified the Doom Power surrounding him and that the Void Monsters would eventually target him.
• Xia Ping concluded that he had to stop the monsters, since his true body was trapped within Green Lotus Hell and escape was impossible.
• Green Lotus Hell’s will told Xia Ping that the temple’s power could be stirred to unleash abilities strong enough to deal with the Void Monsters.

Xia Ping unleashed the True Demon God's domain across Green Lotus Hell to stop the Void Monsters from consuming its origin. When they refused to answer the Demon God's questions, the domain's law of karma turned them into stone statues.

• The Void Monsters overran Green Lotus Hell, devouring its origin and dismissing the threat posed by the remaining demons and Demon God Ruins.
• Xia Ping used the Demon God Hall's power inside the True Temple to spread the True Demon God's domain across Green Lotus Hell and trap the Void Monsters.
• A mechanical voice demanded that the Void Monsters identify themselves and reveal where they came from.
• A Void Monster leader warned the others that their soul restrictions would kill them if they revealed their origins, so they stayed silent.
• The domain punished their refusal to answer, petrifying the Void Monsters and leaving hundreds of millions of stone statues throughout Green Lotus Hell.

Xia Ping used the True Demon God’s power to petrify the hundreds of billions of Void Monsters in Green Lotus Hell, but an unseen master behind them appeared and vowed revenge. Xia Ping thwarted its death curse with the Curse Black Coffin, and the mysterious existence withdrew.

• The True Demon God’s domain forced the Void Monsters to answer, but karma destroyed those who tried to reveal their secrets.
• The True Demon God’s power petrified the remaining hundreds of billions of Void Monsters, leaving Green Lotus Hell silent and lifeless.
• The deaths summoned a dark vortex filled with black skulls, and the unseen master threatened Xia Ping with revenge.
• The unknown existence sent a death curse toward Xia Ping, but his Gaia Clone swallowed the curse runes and transferred them to the Curse Black Coffin.
• The black skull acknowledged Xia Ping’s ability and disappeared with the vortex.

After defeating the threat that nearly destroyed Green Lotus Hell, Xia Ping was recognized by its source will and invited to become the Lord of the high-grade Hell plane. He accepted and received Green Lotus Hell’s source power.

• Xia Ping recovered from the mysterious being’s curse and learned that his Hate Crystal total had risen to 9,500.
• Green Lotus Hell’s source will thanked Xia Ping for saving it and granted him a fifty-percent increase in combat strength within the plane.
• Green Lotus Hell’s source will explained that a high-grade Hell plane required its recognition before anyone could become its Lord.
• Xia Ping agreed to become the Lord of Green Lotus Hell.
• Green Lotus Hell’s source will poured its source power into Xia Ping and pledged to share life and death with him.

Xia Ping refined Green Lotus Hell’s Creation Tablet and discovered the higher hell was on the verge of collapse. He burned hundreds of billions of petrified Void Monsters to restore its origin energy, and Green Lotus Hell began to evolve.

• Xia Ping absorbed Green Lotus Hell’s origin energy, awakened more Hell Golden Crow Cells, and refined the Creation Tablet with the origin will’s recognition.
• Xia Ping sensed that Green Lotus Hell was badly damaged, riddled with destruction aura, and close to collapse.
• Xia Ping realized he could refine the petrified Void Monsters’ origin energy with his Hell Golden Crow Flame and use it to repair Green Lotus Hell.
• Xia Ping left the Demon God Ruins and ignited the hundreds of billions of petrified Void Monsters with his flame.
• Over several days, the Void Monsters’ bodies burned away, releasing their stolen origin energy back into Green Lotus Hell, which began to evolve.

Xia Ping helped Green Lotus Hell absorb the Void Monsters’ source energy, repairing its wounds and expanding its power and territory. He then created a dark-golden sun for the transformed hell plane, leaving it connected to Green Lotus Hell’s source and able to grow over time.

• Green Lotus Hell absorbed the Void Monsters’ source energy, healed its spatial-temporal and Dao scars, and became more loyal to Xia Ping.
• Over the following month, Green Lotus Hell absorbed energy from tens of billions of Void Monsters and expanded to more than a million times its former size.
• Green Lotus Hell’s source energy and land density increased dramatically, making it far more powerful and resistant to destruction.
• Xia Ping realized Green Lotus Hell needed a sun and used his Hell Golden Crow Bloodline to create a colossal dark-golden sun.
• The new sun connected with Green Lotus Hell’s source will and rose into the sky, spreading heat and light across the plane.

Xia Ping created a sun in Green Lotus Hell, giving the plane the cycles needed to begin evolving toward a Demon God plane. Its source energy flooded into him, awakening one trillion Hell Golden Crow Cells and transforming his body into an immense source of power.

• Xia Ping realized that the sun had given Green Lotus Hell the changes of night and day and the seasons, allowing it to begin evolving beyond a high-level hell plane.
• Green Lotus Hell's source will deepened its connection with Xia Ping to one hundred percent and sent vast amounts of hell source energy into his body.
• Xia Ping awakened one trillion Hell Golden Crow Cells, each transforming into a tiny dark-golden sun and radiating tremendous heat.
• The cells produced one trillion hell runes that fused with Xia Ping's bones, turning them into immortal dark-golden divine bones.
• Xia Ping sensed a new Hell Golden Crow divine ability beginning to gestate within him.

Xia Ping awakened the Eye of Judgment, a third divine eye that could bind enemies with karmic chains and imprison them in an unbreakable judgment space. As his three eyes’ powers resonated, seven hundred and twenty layers of Bing Wind Tribulation Lightning gathered over Green Lotus Hell.

• Xia Ping awakened the Eye of Judgment, which could immobilize enemies within a vast domain and bind them with karmic chains.
• He discovered that the eye contained an empty judgment space capable of imprisoning powerful foes and absorbing their power.
• Xia Ping found that his Golden Crow Eye, Hell Eye, and Eye of Judgment circulated their origin powers together and might evolve further.
• Tribulation clouds covered Green Lotus Hell, and Xia Ping realized he was about to face seven hundred and twenty layers of Bing Wind Tribulation Lightning.

Xia Ping endured seven days and seven nights of the seven hundred and twenty layers of Bingfeng Tribulation Lightning, turning the surrounding region of Green Lotus Hell into a vast sea of lightning. After surviving, he absorbed the tribulation’s creation power, healed, and awakened a trillion more Hell Golden Crow Cells, bringing his total to two trillion.

• The origin will of Green Lotus Hell offered Xia Ping help, but he refused and chose to use the tribulation lightning to temper himself.
• Xia Ping fought the Bingfeng Tribulation Lightning head-on, punching through the clouds as the heavenly tribulation intensified.
• After seven days and seven nights, Xia Ping survived all seven hundred and twenty layers of lightning, leaving a million-light-year region devastated.
• The tribulation clouds exhausted their energy and dispersed, and Xia Ping absorbed the creation power that followed, healing his wounds.
• Xia Ping awakened one trillion Hell Golden Crow Cells, raising his total to two trillion and strengthening his bloodline and abilities.

Demons outside Green Lotus Hell wondered why the plane had grown stronger and why no Void Monsters had emerged. A Primordial Demon suggested the monsters may have been wiped out in the Demon God Ruins, but the demons hesitated to return and investigate.

• Demons near Green Lotus Hell noticed its origin energy had grown vastly stronger, despite rumors that it had fallen to the Void Monsters.
• The demons discussed why no Void Monsters had left Green Lotus Hell and considered whether they had all been killed.
• A Primordial Demon proposed that the Void Monsters might have entered the Demon God Ruins and triggered its deadly formations.
• The Primordial Demon argued that the monsters may have sought the ruins’ treasures despite the danger, and the others agreed the theory was plausible.
• The Primordial Demon proposed returning to Green Lotus Hell to investigate, but the demons fell silent, afraid the Void Monsters might still be there.
