Chapter Summaries

Yun Jingheng tested a wisp of Destruction from the black fragment and endured it as it invaded his meridians before his Life Origin contained it around his dantian. He agreed to go directly to Devil's Valley, though Old Demon Ruin said they still had to follow the proper procedure.

• Yun Jingheng approached the black fragment and let its purplish-black energy enter his body.
• The energy painfully spread through Yun Jingheng's meridians and spine before reaching his dantian.
• Yun Jingheng's Life Origin formed a barrier around the Destruction, and the two forces began corroding and dissolving each other.
• Yun Jingheng withdrew his hand and saw a dark-purple thread across his palm.
• Old Demon Ruin asked if Yun Jingheng was ready, and Yun Jingheng chose to go straight to Devil's Valley.
• Old Demon Ruin agreed that further acclimation would not help much but insisted they follow the proper procedure.

Ruin Old Demon brought Yun Jingheng and his companions to Devil's Valley, where Yun Jingheng began a month-long trial inside a Destruction Fragment’s deadly aura. He had to survive three powerful attackers while balancing Destruction and Life Origin, and the chapter left him under heavy pressure as the shadows began to overwhelm him.

• Ruin Old Demon showed Yun Jingheng the Destruction Fragment and explained that he had to remain inside its boundary for thirty days while cultivating and fighting three destructive shadows.
• Ruin Old Demon explained that Yun Jingheng needed to fuse the valley’s life energy with Destruction power to create a stable balance in his meridians.
• Yun Jingheng crossed into the valley, endured the fragment’s destructive aura, and stood upright despite severe pain and damage to his meridians.
• The three shadows attacked Yun Jingheng, who tried to defend himself while keeping Life Origin and Destruction in balance.
• Ruin Old Demon told the companions that each shadow was roughly twice as strong as Yun Jingheng, leaving him to face six times his strength at once.

Yun Jingheng fought three coordinated shadows that attacked him from the front, rear, and through a remote pull on his dantian. After rebuilding his inner reinforcement and striking back, he faced the shadows’ newly gathered orb of power and prepared to continue the fight.

• Yun Jingheng dodged the first shadow’s surprise strike and evaded its follow-up while the other two shadows took positions around him.
• The shadows attacked together, wounding Yun Jingheng’s arm and back as the third shadow pulled at the reinforcement around his dantian.
• Yun Jingheng deflected the first shadow’s next attack and drew life energy from the ground to rebuild the torn reinforcement, cutting off the third shadow’s pull.
• Yun Jingheng used the third shadow’s momentary slackening to punch its chest and force it half a step back.
• The three shadows regrouped into a linked formation and gathered their energy into a growing dark-red orb as Yun Jingheng braced for another attack.

Ye Xinglan found Yun Jingheng badly injured after the dark mist receded and gently cleaned his wounds. When he asked why she had come, she said she was calling him to dinner, then carried him back on her back.

• Ye Xinglan asked whether Yun Jingheng agreed to be carried back, and he nodded.
• Ye Xinglan lifted Yun Jingheng onto her back and carried him away as he leaned against her shoulder.

Yun Jingheng endured the final stretch of the Ruin Trial while Ye Xinglan cared for him and the others supported him. After saying he would not leave when his trial ended, he explained that he planned to bring back normal seafood for everyone before they faced the trial themselves.

• Ye Xinglan brought Yun Jingheng meals, carried him back from the trial each evening, and massaged his injuries as he grew better able to suppress the destruction within him.
• Yuanen Yehui served Yun Jingheng a sauce-covered trial ingredient, and he explained how its bitter, astringent flavor clashed with the sauce.
• Tang Wulin said the next day would be the final confirmation of Yun Jingheng's trial, and Xie Xie suggested they share a proper meal afterward.
• Yun Jingheng told the group he would not leave after completing the trial because he wanted to get normal food for them.
• Yun Jingheng explained that he would bring back uncontaminated seafood, but warned the others they still needed to eat the trial ingredients to build up life energy.

Yun Jingheng completed the Ruin Trial and reunited with the others, then visited Nightmare Old Demon the next morning as Xie Xie suffered through the nightmare trial. After learning what Xie Xie had been made to dream, Yun Jingheng proposed a bizarre way to make the nightmare even more terrifying.

• Yun Jingheng found Xie Xie kneeling beneath the dead tree, pale and trembling after his nightmare trial.
• Nightmare Old Demon revealed that Xie Xie had repeatedly dreamed of the girl he liked dying in front of him.
• Yun Jingheng proposed making the girl return from the dead and chase Xie Xie with a shit-smeared toilet plunger while asking why he had abandoned her.

Yun Jingheng left Devil Island on a crude log raft, and his Soul Power returned as soon as he escaped the island’s oppressive waters. He soared above the sea, celebrating his freedom.

• Nightmare Old Demon praised Yun Jingheng’s idea for a nightmare and asked whether to arrange it that night, while Yun Jingheng encouraged him to start before noon.
• Yun Jingheng left Nightmare Old Demon and Xie Xie, then cut down a tree and built a crude log raft.
• Yun Jingheng pushed the raft into the sea and paddled away from Devil Island.
• Yun Jingheng’s Soul Power awakened once he left the island’s oppressive waters, and he rose into the air.
• Yun Jingheng flew above the clear sea and shouted that he was free.

Yun Jingheng used his Spirit Domain Realm abilities to catch and clean hundreds of fish outside Devil Island’s Soul Power suppression boundary. He stored the fish and returned safely to the island on his raft, bringing food for Tang Wulin.

• Yun Jingheng spotted a dense school of fish beneath the sea and trapped it inside a Soul Power barrier.

• Yun Jingheng cleaned hundreds of fish at once with his spiritual power and stored them in his Storage Soul Tool.
• He propelled his raft toward Devil Island and landed safely on its rocky beach.

Yun Jingheng finally opened the wooden box Yun Ming had given him, revealing a strange pink crystal that seemed to respond to him. Greed Old Demon explained that the crystal had been found on Devil Island a century ago and hinted that it might be connected to creation.

• While waiting for his companions on Devil Island, Yun Jingheng repeatedly tried and failed to open the wooden box, and Nightmare Old Demon told him it would open when the time came.
• As Yun Jingheng sat by the sea, the box warmed in his hand and opened with a click, revealing an irregular pink crystal.
• The Seven Old Devils sensed the crystal, and Greed Old Demon came to sit beside Yun Jingheng and examine it.
• Greed Old Demon said the crystal had been found embedded in a cave wall on Devil Island a hundred years earlier and sent to Shrek for study.
• Greed Old Demon explained that the crystal contained two opposing but mutually nourishing powers resembling Devil Island's energy, and said it seemed to have chosen Yun Jingheng.
• Yun Jingheng wondered whether the crystal was connected to the power of creation.

Yun Jingheng learned from the Lunar Primordial Sovereign that his six lunar phases were incomplete and that he had to develop three transitional phases of his own to complete the Wheel of the Moon. He stored the pink crystal and prepared to follow her advice to absorb the essences of Destruction and life.

• The Lunar Primordial Sovereign identified the pink crystal as a remnant containing the law of creation and explained that absorbing it would benefit Yun Jingheng.
• She told Yun Jingheng that his six lunar phases were gifts and trials from others, while the three missing phases had to arise from his own path.
• The Lunar Primordial Sovereign explained that the three transitional phases connected the moon's birth and decline, and that he could not reach the supreme realm without comprehending them himself.
• Yun Jingheng stored the crystal in his Storage Soul Tool and asked the Lunar Primordial Sovereign what he should do.
• The Lunar Primordial Sovereign advised Yun Jingheng to find a quiet place and absorb the wandering essences of Destruction and life, with the Creator God's Core Fragment aiding him.

Yun Jingheng explored the island and discovered a hollow where scorched soil, thriving reeds, and a still pond embodied destruction and life. Recognizing it as the tranquil place Lunar Primordial Sovereign had described, he decided it was where he would begin absorbing their intents.

• Yun Jingheng explored the island and found a fresh cliff face with a deep crack, but chose not to enter it.
• Yun Jingheng discovered a small pond surrounded by lush reeds and cracked, unusually warm gray-black soil.
• Yun Jingheng felt the contrasting heat of the soil and coolness of the reeds converge through his meridians.
• Yun Jingheng recalled Lunar Primordial Sovereign's instruction and sensed the Creator God's Core Fragment tremble.
• Yun Jingheng identified the hollow as the place he had been seeking and stood at its edge.

Yun Jingheng drew destruction from the scorched earth and life from the reeds, then made the opposing forces rotate until they fused into pink energy. As he probed the fusion’s center, the Creator God's Core Fragment rose before his forehead and began merging with him, leaving Gu Yue stunned.

• Yun Jingheng sat between the scorched ground and the pond, opened the box, and began sensing the two sides with his Soul Power.
• He drew destruction into his dantian from the scorched earth and life from the reeds, where the forces settled on opposite sides of his Soul Power core.
• Yun Jingheng repeatedly rotated the forces around his dantian until destruction and life collided, spun together, and turned pink.
• He withdrew his sensory tendrils and pierced the center of the rotating energy with a fine probe, causing his body to go rigid.
• Gu Yue saw the Creator God's Core Fragment float before Yun Jingheng's forehead and release the power of creation to merge with him.

Yun Jingheng completed his understanding of the lunar phases in his Sea of Spirit, forming Positive Four and Negative Four and discovering Reverse Moon as the force that turned power against its natural direction. As Reverse Moon awakened, nine enormous moons appeared outside Douluo Planet and fell toward him.

• Yun Jingheng reinterpreted New Moon, Crescent Moon, and Full Moon as possibility, choice, and arrival, then formed Gazing Moon as the phase beyond arrival.
• Yun Jingheng defined Dark Moon, Calamity Moon, and Blood Moon as concealment, wear, and remnants, then uncovered Missing Moon as the phase that dissolved and dispersed energy.
• Yun Jingheng recognized that the eight positive and negative phases formed a complete ring but lacked a ninth path to connect their opposing directions.
• Yun Jingheng realized that reversal governed his absorption of Destruction and life, and awakened Reverse Moon as the force that could twist everything.
• Yun Jingheng's Sea of Spirit shook as the world went dark and nine enormous moons appeared beyond Douluo Planet, then shrank and fell toward him.
