Chapter Summaries

Zheng Yi studied captured Ghost Masters and devised the Dao Heart Demon Implantation Ghost Refining Great Method, a new way to create Ghost Warriors under his control. As the Gathering Place and Black God Corporation fought across Luo City, he ordered Ying Yixue to begin preparing for the new method.

• Jin Wuqian organized the Gathering Place’s response to Black God Corporation, and Blood Warriors captured several Ghost Controllers for Zheng Yi.
• Zheng Yi used a Soul Capturing Array to extract and refine a Ghost Master’s soul, confirming his theories about Ghost Controllers’ mutated souls.
• Zheng Yi entered seclusion while Jin Wuqian and the other Gathering Place leaders took charge of the war against Black God Corporation.
• Ghost Masters and Blood Warriors fought across Luo City as the Lut Military base and Redeemer Sect withdrew and watched.
• Zheng Yi combined Blood Lotus Seeds, the Demon Implantation of the Dao Heart Art, ghost-refining methods, and Yin Soldiers to create the Dao Heart Demon Implantation Ghost Refining Great Method.
• Zheng Yi ordered the Gathering Place to prepare for the new Ghost Warrior system, which would give him direct control over its warriors.

Zheng Yi supervised the first large-scale Ghost Control Seed experiment to create Netherworld Soldier Warriors, but the process killed or mutated most participants. Ten days later, the results showed fewer than twenty successes among 123 volunteers, leaving Zheng Yi concerned that the system was too dangerous to expand.

• Zheng Yi selected 123 volunteers with powerful spiritual strength and began implanting Ghost Control Seeds under isolation barriers.
• The seeds fused with participants’ bodies and souls, killing many and turning some into rampaging monsters; Zheng Yi destroyed one mutation.
• One participant successfully bonded with a Yin Soldier Vengeful Spirit, became a Ghost Master, and demonstrated the phantom’s power.
• Zheng Yi ended the experiment, ordered the failed participants buried, and instructed researchers to test the survivors and prepare data.
• Ten days later, Zheng Yi received the report that fewer than twenty volunteers had successfully transformed, a success rate of only ten to fifteen percent.

Zheng Yi perfected the Netherworld Soldier Warrior system, whose public debut restored morale and helped the Gathering Place turn the tide against Black God Corporation. He discovered that faith in the Mount Tai God greatly increased transformation success, then returned to the Da Yi Immortal Domain to cultivate after the Gathering Place began its counteroffensive.

• The Supreme Management Committee showcased seventeen Netherworld Soldier Warriors, who demonstrated Psychic Telekinesis and control over powerful Netherworld Soldier Vengeful Spirits.
• The ceremony rallied the Gathering Place, drew more volunteers, and led the first Netherworld Soldier Warriors to support Blood Warriors against Black God Corporation’s Ghost Masters.
• The Mount Tai God Temple and the Supreme Management Committee declared that the Mount Tai God had bestowed the Vengeful Spirits, while Zheng Yi sensed that the growing faith strengthened his Incense Fire Power.
• Zheng Yi found that believers in the Mount Tai God were more compatible with implanted Demonic Seeds, raising success rates to sixty percent for ordinary believers and over ninety percent for Ability Users with strong faith.
• Zheng Yi refined the Ghost Warrior system and added it to the Gathering Place’s exchange list as new warriors helped drive Black God Corporation into retreat.
• After his body refinement reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, Zheng Yi returned to the Da Yi Immortal Domain and entered secluded cultivation.

Zheng Yi broke through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage and entered the Black God Tower after the Black God Corporation turned it into a Super Ghost Domain. Protected by the Golden Seed, he and the Five Ghost Infants devoured the ghosts inside as he climbed to the tower’s top floor.

• After more than half a year of cultivation, Zheng Yi reached the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage and returned to the Apocalyptic World.
• Yan Zhuo reported that the Black God Corporation had been defeated except for the Black God Tower, where detonated marks on Ghost Masters had created a Super Ghost Domain.
• Zheng Yi entered the Black God Tower alone and summoned the Five Ghost Infants to consume the ghostly creatures within.
• The Golden Seed’s light shielded Zheng Yi from the tower’s evil Qi while the Five Ghost Infants devoured ghosts and grew stronger.
• Zheng Yi encountered powerful Malevolent Ghosts formed from Black God Corporation Ghost Masters, but the Five Ghost Infants consumed them.
• Zheng Yi ascended without obstruction to the Black God Tower’s top floor, a restricted area used by the corporation’s highest-ranking directors.

Zheng Yi defeated Black God Corporation’s chairman and four directors, but the White Bone Soul Devouring Banner began an evolution that prevented him from recalling it. Suspecting the tower’s true secret lay underground, he descended through its hidden levels and reached the Eighth Underground Floor.

• The chairman revealed Black God Corporation’s plan to sacrifice the tower and destroy Luo City, then summoned four directors and their ghosts to ambush Zheng Yi.
• Zheng Yi released the White Bone Soul Devouring Banner and its Yin Soldiers, then used his Five Ghost Sword Embryos to kill the chairman and four directors.
• Zheng Yi’s banner absorbed the defeated ghosts and began gestating three additional main souls, but its transformation prevented him from recalling it.
• Zheng Yi searched the Chairman’s Office for the tower’s hidden secret, then discovered an elevator shaft leading to eight underground floors.
• Zheng Yi descended through the underground levels, where yin energy grew heavier and ghosts became scarce, until he reached the Eighth Underground Floor.

Zheng Yi discovered that Claude, founder of Black God Corporation, had used the living Human Brain Tai Sui to create and control Ghost Controllers while feeding it thousands of people. After Claude offered him immortality and Zheng Yi attacked, a Mental Storm threw him into an apparent Netherworld trial, where Zheng Yi began resisting the illusion.

• Zheng Yi found the Human Brain Tai Sui in Black God Tower and met Claude, whose head survived in a nutrient chamber connected to the enormous brain.
• Claude explained that he had used the Tai Sui to develop Ghost Controllers, imprint them with his mental control, and feed the creature human souls to sustain himself.
• Claude offered to share immortality with Zheng Yi and proposed that they join forces to take over Luo City.
• Zheng Yi rejected Claude's offer, summoned the Five Ghost Sword Embryo, and stabbed Claude's head, triggering a Mental Storm.
• Zheng Yi woke in a grim hall before King Yama, Ox-Head, Horse-Face, and ghost jailers, then told them to stop their act as his eyes turned silver-white.

Zheng Yi broke free of Claude’s Judgment Illusion Realm but became trapped in successive dream layers created by the Human Brain Tai Sui. He summoned his newly evolved White Bone Soul Devouring Banner, whose Ghost Kings and Netherworld soldiers tore through the Dream Stealing Space, leaving the Illusion Realm on the verge of collapse.

• Zheng Yi exposed Claude behind the King Yama illusion and broke out of the Judgment Illusion Realm.
• Claude trapped Zheng Yi in further dream layers, including Mountain of Knives Hell and Oil Fry Hell, while Zheng Yi realized that simply recognizing the illusions would not free him.
• Zheng Yi sensed that the White Bone Soul Devouring Banner had completed its evolution and summoned it from Black God Tower.
• The White Bone Soul Devouring Banner advanced into a Top-Grade Magic Tool and smashed through the tower floors to pierce Zheng Yi’s Illusion Realm.
• Three Ghost Kings and hundreds of Netherworld Soldier Vengeful Spirits emerged from the banner, attacked the illusion’s inhabitants, and began devouring the realm until it fractured and neared collapse.

Zheng Yi survived Claude’s laser defenses, used the Five Ghost Infants to capture Claude in the computer network, and refined his soul from the Blue Light Pellet. He took the valuable pellet, left the Human Brain Tai Sui for later study, and emerged to order the Gathering Place to secure Black God Tower before discovering that a sealed storage bag had finally opened.

• Zheng Yi survived the Laser Weapon barrage and summoned the Five Ghost Infants to track Claude through the computer network.
• The Five Ghost Infants broke through the Central Computer’s defenses and dragged Claude’s blue light form before Zheng Yi, who refined Claude’s spirit while preserving the Blue Light Pellet.
• Zheng Yi identified the pellet as a powerful Artifact Spirit Embryo and stored it, then left the Human Brain Tai Sui inside Black God Tower for future study.
• Zheng Yi emerged from Black God Tower after a day and ordered Jin Wuqian and the others to take over the dangerous, research-worthy site.
• Zheng Yi sensed that the Gathering Evil Array had worn through the Purple Mansion seal on the storage bag taken from the Flame Yin City Auction House robbers.

Zheng Yi opened the sealed storage bag and discovered a vast trove of Artifact Refining materials and an Artifact True Form Diagram for the Cosmos Yin Yang Two Qi Gourd. He learned that the rare treasure could greatly improve breakthrough chances and began considering how to refine it for his future advancement.

• Zheng Yi returned to the Nuclear Power Plant and found that a year of erosion had finally removed the Purple Mansion restriction from the storage bag.
• Zheng Yi opened the bag and discovered an immense collection of precious Artifact Refining materials, including rare metals he could not identify.
• Zheng Yi examined a golden scroll, entered its spiritual space, and found an Azure Gourd containing separate black and white liquids.
• The Golden Scroll transferred its information into Zheng Yi, revealing itself as an Artifact True Form Diagram for the Cosmos Yin Yang Two Qi Gourd.
• Zheng Yi learned that the gourd was a combined Artifact set that could raise his chances of opening the Purple Mansion by thirty percent, and he decided he would not surrender the diagram.

Zheng Yi used a harvest of Flesh Gourds to refine the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd and Ghost Raising Gourd, prototypes of the two artifacts needed for his Cosmos Yin Yang Two Qi Gourd. After using the Blue Light Pellet to give them spiritual intelligence, he turned to making more White Bone Banners to expand the Ghost Raising Gourd’s Ghost Domain.

• Zheng Yi decided to refine the Cosmos Yin Yang Two Qi Gourd and planned to use Flesh Gourds as the foundations for its sword and ghost subsidiary artifacts.
• Zheng Yi let the Five Ghost Infants’ Five Elements Gourd Temple devour about a third of the Flesh Gourds, strengthening the temple and drawing a surge of worshippers to the Mount Tai God Temple.
• Zheng Yi used the remaining Flesh Gourds to cultivate two blood-jade gourds, then refined the Five Poison Soul Severing Sword Embryos into one to create the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd.
• Zheng Yi merged the Hundred Ghost Banner into the other gourd, establishing the first layer of the Ghost Raising Gourd’s Ghost Domain.
• Zheng Yi split the Blue Light Pellet between the two gourds, causing yin and yang energies to converge, then prepared to refine more White Bone Banners for the Ghost Domain.

Zheng Yi refined White Bone Banners and strengthened his gourds before returning to the Da Yi Immortal Domain to unite the Qi Family, Soul Devouring Sect, and Black Cliff Mountain Rogue Cultivator Alliance as the Great Luo Alliance. The alliance faced resistance on Black Cliff Mountain, while Zheng Yi prepared to consolidate his power and watched for the absent Yi Qingzi.

• Zheng Yi refined one hundred and three White Bone Banners from zombie bones and skin, then placed them in the Ghost Raising Gourd to be nurtured.
• Zheng Yi fed precious metal ores to the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd for half a month before returning to the Da Yi Immortal Domain.
• Zheng Yi decided to unite the Qi Family, Soul Devouring Sect, and Black Cliff Mountain Rogue Cultivator Alliance into the Great Luo Alliance while Star Devouring Demon City and the Savage Beast Sect were distracted by their war.
• Qi Lin and the Qi Family supported the alliance, and Zheng Yi had Yi Xunyou remove opposition within the Soul Devouring Sect.
• Black Cliff Mountain Rogue Cultivators resisted the alliance, but Zheng Yi ordered its establishment and hoped Yi Qingzi would reveal himself.
• The Soul Devouring Sect reopened its mountain gate after rebuilding over one or two years.

Zheng Yi presided over the Great Luo Alliance’s founding assembly as outside factions assumed he was merely a nominal leader. When Black Cliff Mountain cultivators challenged his authority, he answered with overwhelming force, leaving the hall under his control.

• Zheng Yi prepared the Soul Devouring Sect as the alliance headquarters and stationed Qi Family Blood Cultivators there as guards.
• Cultivators gathered for the founding assembly, where spies speculated that Zheng Yi was a figurehead manipulated by Mirage Lord, Yellow Crane Daoist, and Yin Jade Matriarch.
• Qi Lin and the Black Cliff Mountain leaders arrived, and the factions took their seats in the Soul Devouring Sect Council Hall with Zheng Yi on the Alliance Leader’s throne.
• Zheng Yi announced the alliance’s formation, but Zhang Wutong and other Black Cliff Mountain cultivators rejected his leadership and demanded a new election.
• Zheng Yi unleashed his Divine Soul pressure, incapacitating the dissenters and frightening Zhang Wutong with the Yin Yang Energy rising behind him.

Zheng Yi established the Great Luo Alliance in the Da Yi Immortal Domain and reorganized the Gathering Place into the Soul Hall in the Apocalyptic World, setting it on a path to dominate Luo City. After the Soul Hall fought back against attacks from the Lut Military and the Redeemer Alliance, Zheng Yi confronted the increasingly powerful Progenitor Demonic Bat Cain.

• Zheng Yi suppressed Zhang Wutong with his Divine Soul Power and sword qi, killed him with a storm of Flying Swords, and secured the crowd’s submission as Great Luo Alliance Master.
• The Great Luo Alliance’s founding alarmed neighboring factions, which began forming alliances, though conflict over the Spirit Marrow mine kept stronger sects occupied.
• Zheng Yi and Ying Yixue oversaw the renaming of the Gathering Place to the Soul Hall, which absorbed the Black God Corporation’s territory, facilities, research, and personnel.
• The Lut Military and Redeemer Alliance joined forces against the Soul Hall, attacked its facilities, and provoked fierce retaliation from its Blood Warriors and Ghost Warriors.
• Zheng Yi visited the Soul Hall’s underground secret chamber to oversee Cain’s expected breakthrough and found the Progenitor Demonic Bat had grown enormous, reached upper Foundation Establishment strength, and shown signs of defiance.

Zheng Yi subdued Progenitor Demonic Bat Cain by implanting an Ancestor Blood Lotus Seed in its body and sealing its consciousness, turning it into a living puppet to protect the Blood Warrior system. After spending half a year cultivating his gourds, he returned to the Apocalyptic World to begin refining the Cosmos Yin Yang Two Qi Gourd.

• Zheng Yi forced Cain to submit, then fed it Blood Lotus Seeds, including an Ancestor Blood Lotus Seed that rooted through its body.
• When Cain turned feral, Zheng Yi suppressed it with the Demon Implantation of the Dao Heart Art and controlled its body as a living puppet.
• Zheng Yi left Cain nourished by Yin qi and blood aura in the hall, preserving it and the Blood Warrior system while limiting its threat.
• Over half a year, Zheng Yi gathered ghosts to strengthen the Ghost Raising Gourd and had the Great Luo Alliance supply materials to enhance the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd.
• After judging the Magic Treasure Embryo ready, Zheng Yi avoided refining it in the Da Yi Immortal Domain and returned to the Apocalyptic World to refine the Cosmos Yin Yang Two Qi Gourd.

Zheng Yi completed the first stage of refining the Cosmos Yin Yang Two Qi Gourd and created lotus-root bodies for the Five Spirit Children to strengthen Soul Hall’s divine forces. As Soul Hall’s war against the Lut Military and Redeemer Alliance continued, the chapter revealed that the Redeemer Alliance’s Corpse God was a vast, living mass of flesh beneath its territory.

• Zheng Yi used the Artifact True Form Diagram to refine the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd and Ghost Raising Gourd, forming Yin Yang Energy within his dantian.
• Soul Hall gained ground in its war against the Lut Military and Redeemer Alliance as its Blood Warriors and Ghost Warriors grew stronger through battle.
• Zheng Yi fashioned five Blood Lotus Root bodies for the Five Spirit Children and placed them in the deity statues at the Five Directions Gourd Temples, where Incense Fire Power began to nourish them.
• The Pope of the Redeemer Alliance offered a girl and an infant to the Corpse God during a ceremony, and black mist carried them underground.
• The Corpse God was revealed to be a gigantic mass of flesh beneath the Redeemer Alliance’s territory, with a bald, obese upper body that devoured an infant’s leg.

The Redeemer Church sacrificed believers to the Corpse God, which sent seven Corpse Body Giants to destroy Soul Hall. As the giants advanced on Soul Hall’s defensive line, its soldiers spotted one towering over the ruined city and moving toward them.

• The Redeemer Church’s Pope led a sacrifice and prayer to summon the Corpse God’s Divine Guards.
• A Corpse Body Giant emerged and devoured believers, while the Pope claimed the deaths proved their faith was weak.
• Seven Corpse Body Giants rose from the abyss, and the Redeemer Church’s leaders celebrated their power and sent them toward Soul Hall.
• Soul Hall’s Blood Warriors and Ghost Warriors defended their southern line as soldiers discussed the Redeemer Church’s apparent weakness.
• A scout team’s warning cut off, and the captain ordered two soldiers to investigate.
• The captain and his soldiers spotted a giant over a hundred meters tall approaching through the ruined city.

The Redeemer Alliance Church unleashed Corpse Body Giants that overwhelmed Soul Hall’s defenses, forcing Ying Yixue to summon Zheng Yi. Zheng Yi awakened the Five Direction Ghost Children, who destroyed the giants and turned the battle in Soul Hall’s favor.

• The Redeemer Alliance Church sent Corpse Body Giants against Soul Hall’s defenses, and the monsters caused heavy losses while devouring enemies and allies alike.
• Ying Yixue interrupted Zheng Yi’s cultivation and reported the giants’ attack and the Supreme Management Committee’s request for help.
• Zheng Yi told Ying Yixue to have Jin Wuqian, Mu Jiangliu, and the others hold on, then awakened the Five Direction Ghost Children in their Lotus Root Bodies.
• The Five Direction Ghost Children arrived at the battlefield, and the Red Ghost Spirit Child used Samadhi True Fire to destroy a Corpse Body Giant beyond recovery.
• The Five Direction Ghost Children destroyed all seven giants, allowing Soul Hall’s forces to defeat the Redeemer Alliance Church’s remaining troops.

The Five Direction Ghost Emperor Children destroyed the Redeemer Alliance Church’s Corpse Body Giants and killed its Pope, ending the battle in the Soul Hall’s favor. Zheng Yi then went to the church’s headquarters to investigate its Corpse God, where he found an altar surrounded by trapped Vengeful Spirits and tangible resentment.

• The Five Direction Ghost Emperor Children slaughtered the seven Corpse Body Giants, shattered the Redeemer Alliance’s morale, and drove its believers to flee or surrender.
• The Northern Black Ghost Child killed the Redeemer Alliance Church’s Pope with a single sword strike, and the Five Ghost Emperor Children returned to their shrines as the Soul Hall members praised them and the Mount Tai God.
• Zheng Yi sensed that the manifestation had consumed more than thirty percent of the Mount Tai God Temple’s Faith Power, but he was satisfied with the result and resolved to learn more about the Redeemer Alliance’s Corpse God.
• Zheng Yi left his cultivation chamber and flew to the Redeemer Alliance Church’s headquarters, intending to investigate its power and the changes spreading through the Apocalyptic World.
• Zheng Yi arrived at the church’s bloodied altar, dismissed the Corpse God as a fat rat, and saw Vengeful Spirits and ghostly hands bound by cold, dense karmic resentment.

Zheng Yi cleansed the altar’s Vengeful Spirits, absorbed the Netherworld Corpse God into his Ghost Raising Gourd, and learned that the Lut Military had launched a surprise attack on the Soul Hall. He returned to Mount Tai God Temple and told Ying Yixue to inform the Supreme Management Committee that he would handle the crisis.

• Zheng Yi used the Yin Yang Eye’s golden light to release the less resentful Vengeful Spirits and destroyed the demonic ones with a shout.
• Zheng Yi descended into the canyon and found that the Netherworld Corpse God was a grotesque mass of flesh and spores that tried to consume him.
• Zheng Yi restrained the Corpse God with the Hundred Ghosts Soul Devouring Grand Array and absorbed the monster into the Three Yin One Qi Ghost Nurturing Gourd.
• Zheng Yi buried the collapsed canyon and received word that the Lut Military had attacked the Soul Hall’s central region while its forces were weakened.
• Zheng Yi met Ying Yixue at Mount Tai God Temple and ordered her to tell the Supreme Management Committee that he would handle the Lut Military attack.

Zheng Yi manifested the Mount Tai God above the Soul Hall and Lut Military, terrifying believers and revealing the Lut Military’s underground human experimentation laboratory. He destroyed the military headquarters with a single sword strike and descended into the ruins.

• The Mount Tai God appeared above the Soul Hall’s central district, and believers across the city fell to their knees in awe and guilt.
• Zheng Yi sensed the Lut Military’s underground laboratory beneath its headquarters and saw the resentful souls of its victims.
• The Mount Tai God’s phantom appeared over the Lut Military base, and its soldiers recognized the deity worshipped by the Soul Hall.
• The Lut Military’s leader and other modified fighters charged at Zheng Yi, but his sword strike wiped them out and collapsed the headquarters.
• Zheng Yi landed in the ruins, where the strike had exposed the underground core of the military base.
