Chapter Summaries

Ye Wudao reunited with his second master, Hu Lianfeng, who revealed that a rift had taken him to the Heavenly Demon Nation, where he became its spokesperson and rose to Heavenly Immortal-level power. Hu Lianfeng warned that the Mortal Realm would fall to the Heavenly Demons, while Ye Wudao doubted the High Priest’s claims and grew wary of the Nation’s unusual strength.

• Hu Lianfeng revealed his face to Ye Wudao and explained that a rift had pulled him from the Beast Taming Sect’s Trial Grounds into the Heavenly Demon Nation.
• Hu Lianfeng said the Heavenly Demon Statue had chosen him as its Mortal Realm spokesperson because he was compatible with Heavenly Demon Qi, and he warned Ye Wudao to leave the Mortal Realm.

• Ye Wudao suspected Hu Lianfeng had been brainwashed but recognized that the Nation’s powerful inhabitants and Hu Lianfeng’s rapid advancement posed an unusual threat.

Ye Wudao warned Hu Lianfeng that the Heavenly Demon High Priest might be deceiving him, but Hu Lianfeng remained loyal and left, warning that they could become enemies. Ye Wudao deduced that the High Priest planned to devour the Mortal Realm within half a year, then returned to Myriad Worlds Academy after securing Blue Star and visiting the Heaven Gate Sect.

• Ye Wudao warned Hu Lianfeng that the High Priest might have ulterior motives, but Hu Lianfeng defended the High Priest and told Ye Wudao to leave the Mortal Realm.
• Hu Lianfeng departed, warning Ye Wudao that they might meet as enemies and that he would not show mercy next time.
• Ye Wudao reasoned that the High Priest was likely a Primordial World-era Heaven-Forsaken One who had gathered Heavenly Demons to avoid the Heavenly Demon Progenitor and prepare to devour the Mortal Realm.
• Ye Wudao concluded that the High Priest would begin devouring the Mortal Realm within half a year and decided to find the Heavenly Dao.
• Ye Wudao told Wang Jian to guard Blue Star, returned to the Spirit Realm and the Heaven Gate Sect, then went back to Myriad Worlds Academy.

Ye Wudao bombarded the Reincarnation Realm in the River of Time to draw the Heavenly Dao’s attention, nearly dying from the backlash before Myriad Worlds Academy protected him. After the Heavenly Dao rescued him, Ye Wudao warned that a Heavenly Demon planned to overthrow the Mortal Realm in half a year.

• Ye Wudao struck the Reincarnation Realm with a signal formed from his comprehension of the Time Great Dao, and the barrier sent a devastating backlash at him.
• Ye Wudao called on Myriad Worlds Academy, whose golden light absorbed the backlash and protected him.
• The Heavenly Dao emerged from a crack in the Reincarnation Realm, calmed the River of Time, and expelled the backlash from Ye Wudao.
• The Heavenly Dao told Ye Wudao to send a message next time, and Ye Wudao explained that he had forgotten to ask for a way to contact him.
• Ye Wudao warned the Heavenly Dao that a Heavenly Demon intended to overthrow the Mortal Realm half a year later.

Ye Wudao and Heavenly Dao searched the Mortal Realm for the Heavenly Demons but found almost no trace of them. They suspected the High Priest had concealed the Heavenly Demon Nation in an independent space beyond the Primordial World, leaving them to search for its entrance.

• Ye Wudao told Heavenly Dao that he did not know where the Heavenly Demon Nation was, so Heavenly Dao scanned the Mortal Realm with a golden image.
• Ye Wudao searched the galaxies and found neither the Heavenly Demons nor significant traces of Heavenly Demon Qi.
• Heavenly Dao said someone might have blocked his perception and identified an Immortal Emperor-level being skilled in concealing himself through the world's rules as a possibility.
• Ye Wudao told Heavenly Dao about the High Priest, and Heavenly Dao concluded that he might be hiding from perception while mastering Heavenly Demon Qi.
• Heavenly Dao reasoned that the Heavenly Demon Nation might occupy an independent space outside the Primordial World, and Ye Wudao realized they would have to find its entrance.

Heavenly Dao gave Ye Wudao the power to observe the entire Mortal Realm through the River of Time and tasked him with watching over it while he hunted Immortal Emperor-level Heavenly Demons. Ye Wudao returned to Blue Star to guard it, warning Zhao Yiyuan and Qi Yunting to stay alert for infiltrators.

• Heavenly Dao gave Ye Wudao a strand of power that let him observe star systems throughout the Mortal Realm, while warning that using it too often or staying in the River of Time too long could endanger him.
• Heavenly Dao left to search for hidden Immortal Emperor-level Heavenly Demons and warned Ye Wudao that the Heavenly Demon High Priest might infiltrate again.

• Ye Wudao warned Zhao Yiyuan and Qi Yunting to be cautious in the Spirit Realm and told them to shelter inside Myriad Worlds Academy if trouble arose.
• Ye Wudao returned to Blue Star through the Beast Taming Sect's Trial Grounds.

After returning to Blue Star, Ye Wudao secured the planet’s formation and cultivated in seclusion on Azure Dragon Mountain. He reached the Great Vehicle Realm and formed a Primordial Spirit, then faced a heavenly tribulation above the villa.

• Ye Wudao reset the 360 Formation Disks around Blue Star and returned to Azure Dragon Mountain.
• Ye Wudao settled back among his family and allies, then entered seclusion to prepare for the Heavenly Demon’s revival.
• Ye Wudao pushed the Mysterious Yellow Returning Origin Art through its forty-fourth enhancement after five months of cultivation.
• Ye Wudao’s spiritual power broke through, forming a Primordial Spirit that let him perceive the entire planet.
• Ye Wudao rose to the Great Vehicle Realm, and a black Tribulation Cloud formed above him.

Ye Wudao passed the Great Vehicle Realm tribulation with ease, revealing strength beyond the realm and discussing his breakthrough with his followers and family. He ended the night visiting his ailing grandfather, Ye Kailin, who reflected on having lived long enough to witness Ye Wudao's rise.

• Ye Wudao blocked and shattered the tribulation bolts with his techniques, then refined the Tribulation Cloud before the ninth bolt could fall.
• Ye Wudao saw several Integration Realm cultivators approach and waved them away, then returned to Azure Dragon Mountain as the tribulation remnants faded without any Light of Ascension.
• Li Huai and Wang Zijian congratulated Ye Wudao, and he told Wang Zijian that his strength had surpassed the Great Vehicle Realm and advised him to cultivate Great Dao Power.
• Ye Wudao reassured Wu Juan after she worried about his sudden tribulation and gave her two bottles of pills.
• Ye Wudao visited Ye Kailin, confirmed that he had passed the heavenly tribulation, and quietly left after hearing his grandfather express his regret and gratitude.

Ye Wudao discovered that the Heavenly Demons were rapidly assimilating galaxies in the Mortal Realm, but the Heavenly Dao did not answer his summons. He traveled to a corrupted planet and began burning away the contamination, targeting the formation spreading it through the star system.

• Ye Wudao spotted several galaxies being consumed by Heavenly Demon Qi after leaving the Mortal Realm unmonitored for three days.
• Ye Wudao tried twice to contact the Heavenly Dao, but received no reply, so he opened a Rift and traveled to a corrupted planet.
• Ye Wudao found the planet's inhabitants transformed into mindless, mutated creatures and discovered a formation spreading Heavenly Demon Qi across the planet.
• Ye Wudao realized the planet was a key node linking the Mortal Realm and Spirit Realm, then used the Golden Flame of the Way of Refining to cleanse the surface and advance toward the formation.

Ye Wudao discovered that Heavenly Demon Qi was spreading across the Mortal Realm while the Heavenly Dao fell silent, and his attempts to reach it failed. As spatial cracks and demonic corruption engulfed the world, the Heavenly Dao warned him it was dying, leaving Ye Wudao to face the collapse of the world's order.

• Ye Wudao destroyed a demonized planet and nearby planets, then found that more than a dozen star systems had been contaminated by Heavenly Demon Qi.
• Ye Wudao heard the weakened Heavenly Dao tell him to run and find his senior brother, but repeated messages received no reply.
• Ye Wudao returned to Myriad Worlds Academy and struck the barrier around the Reincarnation Realm five times, opening a crack without receiving an answer.
• Spatial structures across the Mortal Realm collapsed as Black Mist and Heavenly Demon Qi poured through spreading cracks and contaminated planets.
• The Heavenly Dao told Ye Wudao that it was going to die, then its surveillance images vanished and its power faded.
• Ye Wudao moved Myriad Worlds Academy back to Blue Star and watched black cracks spread across the sky as the world's order began to collapse.

Ye Wudao saw Lady Houtu appear and seal Blue Star’s rifts with Breathing Soil, then learned she could help summon Pangu through Myriad Worlds Academy. The chapter ended with Ye Wudao questioning whether he could activate the academy’s emergency method and whether any remnant of the dead Heavenly Dao remained.

• Ye Wudao sent Cang Liexiong to gather the Demon Slayer guards and prepare to evacuate the Mortal Realm to the Spirit Realm.
• Lady Houtu emerged beneath Myriad Worlds Academy and used Breathing Soil to seal Blue Star’s rifts and block the Heavenly Demon Qi.
• Lady Houtu told Ye Wudao that her avatar could hold on for about a year and urged him to find Myriad Worlds Academy’s people to repair the world.
• Ye Wudao asked whether Lady Houtu could contact Hua Gan, but she said her true body was in seclusion and could not send a message from her avatar.
• Lady Houtu proposed using Myriad Worlds Academy to send Pangu a remnant fragment of the Heavenly Dao containing his aura.
• Ye Wudao said he was only in the Primordial Spirit Realm and could not activate the academy’s emergency method, then asked whether the dead Heavenly Dao had left a remnant consciousness.

Houtu lent Ye Wudao Reincarnation Realm energy to temporarily raise him to the Origin Realm and help him contact Myriad Worlds Academy headquarters. After sending the Heavenly Dao's remnant consciousness through the branch's transmission channel, Ye Wudao waited in the channel for headquarters to reply.

• Houtu explained that Heavenly Demons were threatening to destroy the Primordial World and that its laws and energy cycles needed repair.
• Houtu gave Ye Wudao the Heavenly Dao's remnant consciousness and infused him with Reincarnation Realm soul energy, letting him experience his soul and temporarily approach the Origin Realm.
• Ye Wudao used the Dao Seal and the jade platform to send the Heavenly Dao's remnant consciousness through the Myriad Worlds Academy channel toward the Supreme Realm.
• Ye Wudao received confirmation that headquarters had received the remnant consciousness, then collapsed as his borrowed energy nearly ran out.
• Houtu told Ye Wudao to wait for headquarters' reply, and he re-entered the channel while slowly losing the remaining energy.

The three Academy Heads considered a plea from the Primordial World and learned that Pangu’s Primordial Spirit had become its world consciousness. Pangu went to the Primordial World to help Ye Wudao, who ended the failing communication passage and collapsed from exhaustion.

• The Academy Heads received a fragment of the Primordial World’s consciousness and discussed sending help to Ye Wudao.
• Pangu arrived at the headquarters and explained that the world consciousness had formed from a strand of his Primordial Spirit, whose appearance meant the Primordial World was collapsing.
• The Academy Heads allowed Pangu to enter and told him Ye Wudao was holding open a passage from the Primordial World.
• Pangu told Ye Wudao to sever the passage and leave the rest to him as he hurried to the Primordial World.
• Ye Wudao withdrew his hands from the jade platform, causing the communication passage to collapse and the hall to go dark.

After Heavenly Dao collapsed, Primordial Gods and Devils escaped their seal and appeared above Blue Star. Lady Houtu explained that Blue Star was the Origin Land, a node connecting the Land of Mountains and Seas with the Reincarnation Realm, and warned that the Mortal Realm faced destruction unless Pangu returned soon.

• Houtu steadied Ye Wudao’s damaged Primordial Spirit, and he told her Pangu had promised to arrive soon.
• Primordial Gods and Devils appeared above Blue Star after Heavenly Dao’s collapse, alarming Ye Wudao.
• Ye Wudao questioned why the Heaven-Forsaken Ones had emerged on Blue Star, and Houtu explained that Blue Star’s records came from its connection to the Primordial era.
• Houtu revealed that Blue Star was the Origin Land, a node connecting the sealed Land of Mountains and Seas and the Reincarnation Realm.
• Houtu warned that powerful escaped Gods and Devils could overwhelm the Mortal Realm, though her avatar could protect Blue Star.

Thirteen ancient Gods and Devils emerged from Rifts across Blue Star after the Heavenly Dao fell, each announcing their return and threatening the world. More creatures continued pouring through the shattered sky, leaving Blue Star overwhelmed by their presence.

• Taotie emerged from the largest Rift and declared that the Heavenly Dao was dead.
• Qiongqi, Xing Tian, Nine Infants, Nine Phoenix, Fei, and Taowu emerged from successive Rifts and proclaimed their returns.
• Chaos and Gonggong appeared, with Chaos declaring a new age and Gonggong warning that the land’s seals had scattered.
• Shebi Shi, Zhu Yan, Xiangliu, and Fuyou emerged from the remaining Rifts and announced their arrival.
• More ferocious beasts and Gods and Devils poured through the cracks, blotting out the sky and leaving Blue Star’s cities, oceans, and wind subdued beneath their pressure.

Houtu faced thirteen Primordial Gods and Devils alone to keep them from entering Blue Star and destroying the Origin Land. She raised a barrier powered by the Reincarnation Realm, which resisted their attacks, though Chaos observed that its energy was being consumed.

• Houtu warned the thirteen Gods and Devils that they could not set foot in Blue Star and explained that their plan to unleash the Land of Mountains and Seas' primordial energy would destroy the Mortal Realm.
• Taowu, Nine Phoenix, Fei, and Taotie attacked Houtu's barrier, but it endured and healed the cracks they caused.
• Xing Tian struck the barrier with his axe, while Gonggong, Nine Infants, Shebi Shi, and Fuyou each tried to break or erode it without success.
• Chaos watched the barrier and concluded that the Reincarnation Realm's energy was being consumed and Houtu could not hold on much longer.

Houtu struggled to maintain the barrier protecting Blue Star as the Primordial Gods and Devils intensified their assault. With the Reincarnation Realm’s energy running low and Pangu not yet arrived, she urged Ye Wudao to flee to the Immortal Realm, but he asked whether his golden tattoo could draw on the Mortal Realm’s power.

• Taotie and Qiongqi taunted Houtu as her strength faded, but she mocked the thirteen attackers for failing to break her Thick Earth Shield.
• The Primordial Gods and Devils launched increasingly powerful attacks, and Houtu bled as the barrier cracked and her energy dwindled.
• Houtu explained to Ye Wudao that the Heavenly Dao had sealed the Primordial Gods and Devils because their Pangu bloodlines were fused with the world’s Great Dao.
• Houtu restored the barrier with the last energy she could safely draw from the Reincarnation Realm and admitted she might not hold out until Pangu arrived.
• Houtu told Ye Wudao to escape to the Immortal Realm, but he asked whether the golden tattoo on his arm could mobilize the Mortal Realm’s power.

Houtu used the Tree of Life, Kunlun Mountain, and the Breathing Soil to draw on the power of flora across the world and restore Blue Star’s barrier. The thirteen attackers’ strikes were blunted, leaving the barrier whole again.

• Houtu told Ye Wudao that the Tree of Life could summon the power of all flora, and that her control of the Breathing Soil let her activate that ability.
• Houtu infused the Tree of Life with the Breathing Soil, causing it and Kunlun Mountain to grow to immense size.
• The Tree of Life sent green specks throughout the Mortal Realm, the Immortal Realm’s fragments, and the Spirit Realm, calling all living flora to send their life force toward Blue Star.
• The gathered energy flowed through Kunlun Mountain and the Breathing Soil into Houtu, restoring her strength and transforming Blue Star’s gray barrier into a solid yellow shield.
• Taotie’s attack barely rippled the barrier, Nine Phoenix’s flames were extinguished, and Xing Tian’s axe became trapped in its surface.

Houtu used the Tree of Life to draw vegetation power from across the world and shield the Origin Land from the Primordial Gods and Devils. Taotie ordered a united assault, leaving the barrier under a massive bombardment as it repeatedly cracked and healed.

• Taotie demanded that Ye Wudao put away the Tree of Life, warning that its borrowed vegetation power would soon run out.
• Houtu told Nine Phoenix that she had once received the Tree of Life’s blessings, and Nine Phoenix explained she had stayed because her beloved was in this world.
• Houtu argued that the attackers wanted to destroy the world’s foundations and remake it for themselves, while she wanted the world to remain alive.
• Taotie declared that there was nothing left to discuss and ordered all the Gods and Devils of the Primordial World to attack together.
• Taotie, Nine Phoenix, Xing Tian, the other great beings, and hundreds of lesser creatures struck the yellow barrier, which cracked under the assault before the Tree of Life’s light healed it.

Houtu maintained Blue Star’s barrier by converting the Tree of Life’s power, while the Primordial gods and devils realized she was stalling for someone to arrive. Tens of thousands of Heavenly Demon Rifts suddenly opened across the Solar System, and the gods and devils fought to stop the invading tide.

• Taotie and the other gods and devils recognized that Houtu’s barrier was growing stronger as the Tree of Life fed it energy, and they concluded she was waiting for help.
• Heavenly Demon Rifts spread throughout the Solar System, releasing a vast tide of corrupted creatures that surged directly toward Blue Star.
• Houtu said the invasion could not have broken through her Mortal Realm blockade, while Ye Wudao noted that the Heavenly Demons appeared to be targeting Blue Star.
• Taotie, Nine Phoenix, Fei, and Gonggong reacted to the approaching tide, and Gonggong raised a wall of water to block its path.
• Xing Tian charged into the Heavenly Demons and cut them down with his stone axe, while Nine Phoenix and Taotie attacked with fire and a blast of energy.
• Qiongqi tore into the swarm and devoured its Heavenly Demon Qi, while Nine Infants spread poisonous mist that corroded the invaders.

Ye Wudao watched Houtu’s Primordial Gods and Devils overwhelm the Heavenly Demons, then saw a gray-robed figure arrive with Hu Lianfeng and turn the battle with a single gesture. The figure’s immense power left all the Primordial Gods and Devils pinned down as the battlefield fell silent.

• Houtu explained that the Primordial Gods and Devils wanted to reclaim the world without destroying it, then watched them attack the Heavenly Demons.
• Zhu Yan, Xiangliu, Shebi Shi, Fuyou, Taowu, Chaos, and hundreds of other Primordial Gods and Devils slaughtered the Heavenly Demons, rapidly thinning their tide.
• Ye Wudao questioned why the Heavenly Demons had targeted Blue Star, and Houtu wondered if they had come for her before Ye Wudao suggested they had been told something they wanted was there.
• The Heavenly Demon tide stopped and parted to reveal a gray-robed figure accompanied by the stronger Hu Lianfeng, whose gaze settled on the great tree atop Kunlun Mountain.
• After Taotie demanded to know who he was, the gray-robed figure raised a hand and suppressed all thirteen top-tier Primordial Gods and Devils, along with the lesser ones.
