Chapter Summaries

He restored her ability to cultivate temporarily and offered to create spirit furnaces for the demon gods in exchange for the demons’ help finding someone whose name he did not know.

• Agares found Xu Yuan’s spirit furnace and realized he might offer a way for the demon race to survive after the Demon God Pillars were destroyed.
• Xu Yuan asked Agares about the Holy Demon Continent and bargained for the demon race to help him find someone.
• Agares agreed to help but demanded that Xu Yuan teach her how to transform into a spirit furnace.

• Xu Yuan explained that he could create seventy-two spirit furnaces to replace the Demon God Pillars, though only the demon elites alive now would retain the ability to cultivate.
• Agares asked who Xu Yuan wanted her to find, and he admitted that he did not know the person’s name.

Xu Yuan reconstructed a human body, awakened every attribute at innate level ninety-nine spiritual energy, and began exploring the Holy Demon Continent’s path to godhood. He agreed to watch over the Demon Clan for three to six months in exchange for its treasures, while Agares worked to spread news that could lead Xu Zhi to him.

• Agares questioned Xu Yuan about Xu Zhi and suggested publicizing Xu Yuan’s arrival so Xu Zhi would seek him out.

• Xu Yuan promised to fight Long Haochen at least once, but said he might leave the Demon Clan after one month if Long Haochen confronted him soon.

Xu Yuan arrived in Odin Town to cultivate and challenged Long Xingyu to test the strength of a Ninth Rank Divine Seal Knight. Their duel escalated when Xu Yuan unleashed three Martial Soul domains, provoking a terrifying bolt of lightning from the sky.

• Xu Yuan told Agares to send him the skills of the six major professions in Odin Town, where he planned to cultivate.
• Long Xingyu sensed Xu Yuan's arrival and suspected he was a demon god who had shed his demonic aura and was cultivating again.
• Xu Yuan recognized Long Xingyu as a Ninth Rank Divine Seal Knight and insisted they fight, revealing that he came from another Realm.
• Long Xingyu moved the battle away from Odin Town, and his twin swords clashed with Xu Yuan's spear, sending Xu Yuan plummeting downward.
• Xu Yuan transformed his three Martial Souls into domains and merged them, but a terrifying bolt of lightning descended and struck them.

Xu Yuan triggered Holy Demon Continent’s Thunder Tribulation while sparring with Long Xingyu, then used Jue to devour the lightning and advance through successive Heavenly Tribulations. As the calamity intensified, another Xu Yuan arrived, and the two versions of Xu Yuan recognized each other.

• Xu Yuan was struck by Holy Demon Continent’s Thunder Tribulation after unleashing his three domains, while Long Xingyu retreated and watched in confusion.
• Xu Yuan let Jue devour the second Thunder Tribulation, revealing the Matchless Divine Spear to Long Xingyu and beginning Jue’s breakthrough.
• Jue absorbed repeated Thunder Tribulations and stacked Heavenly Tribulations, advancing through six hundred thousand years as Long Xingyu feared the growing calamity.
• Xu Yuan pushed Jue toward the nine-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation, which merged with the Thunder Tribulation and slammed him into the ground.
• Long Xingyu welcomed the arriving ‘Xu Yuan,’ and the newcomer recognized Xu Yuan and Jue before saying, “My son is here.”

• Xu Zhi revealed his Wisdom and Spirit Divine Throne and used its resonance with his Spirit Furnace to disperse the thunder clouds after Xu Yuan withdrew his three domains.
• Long Xingyu realized Xu Zhi was the real Xu Yuan and left the two men alone; Xu Yuan and Xu Zhi reunited and discussed the First Generation Phoenix God and Devil Island.
• Xu Yuan told Xu Zhi that he wanted to upgrade Jue, and Xu Zhi explained that becoming a Super Divine Artifact could involve plundering a universe's essential power or becoming equal to the universe.
• Xu Zhi explained that Jue had absorbed power from its combined thunder tribulation and Heavenly Tribulation, opening its ninety-thousand-year shackle, but still needed an opportunity to advance.
• Xu Zhi described Spirit Furnaces as heaven-born sources of laws that could be cultivated toward becoming Super Divine Artifacts and said he was developing one as his bound artifact.

Xu Yuan discussed spirit furnace fusion with Xu Zhi and learned that he could merge his will with spirit furnaces, using Essence, Qi, and Spirit as vessels to help Jue break through. After considering the recommended furnaces, Xu Yuan proposed creating a new spirit furnace whose abilities centered on evolution, and the chapter ended with him planning how to cultivate one.

• Xu Zhi explained that spirit furnace fusion could be achieved by merging one's will with spirit furnaces, and suggested Xu Yuan use Essence, Qi, and Spirit as separate vessels.
• Xu Zhi recommended the Holy Guidance Spirit Furnace and Yuan Vortex Spirit Furnace for their evolutionary potential and usefulness to Jue.
• Xu Yuan considered a third spirit furnace that could strengthen Jue in combat and help him endure the million-year Heavenly Tribulation.
• After Xu Zhi listed other candidates, Xu Yuan proposed condensing a new spirit furnace with an evolutionary ability.
• Xu Yuan said he could create a Small World to nurture the spirit furnace, though he remained uncertain whether it would gain the enhancement and evolution abilities he wanted.

Xu Yuan cultivated three spirit apertures and began experimenting with nurturing spirit furnaces using the Demon Clan’s Demon God Pillars. He sealed and strengthened the Snake Spear Demon God Pillar’s remaining Origin, but warned Eligo that it was too weak to form a spirit furnace yet.

• Xu Zhi told Xu Yuan to cultivate three spirit apertures using the Essence, Qi, and Spirit method before seeking a place to create a small world.
• Long Xingyu questioned Xu Zhi’s intentions, and Xu Zhi assured him that he and Xu Yuan would leave the Holy Demon Continent once they were strong enough.
• Xu Yuan condensed three spirit apertures, reached the peak of the seventh rank, and concluded that they would be enough to form a Spirit Pill without further apertures.
• After a month of cultivation, Xu Yuan left to retrieve the Holy Guidance Spirit Furnace and Yuan Vortex Spirit Furnace and practice creating Demon God Pillar Spirit Furnaces.
• Eligo, the Snake Spear Demon God, released the remaining power of his Demon God Pillar, and Xu Yuan used the Heaven Origin Brush to seal and strengthen its Origin.
• Xu Yuan warned Eligo that the Snake Spear Demon God Pillar’s remaining Origin was too weak to form a Serpent Spear Spirit Furnace.

Xu Yuan transformed the Demon Gods’ remaining Demon God Pillar power into spirit furnace embryos, then discovered how to use the law of evolution to restore their strength. After leaving a hidden Heaven Defying Demon Dragon Spirit Furnace beneath the earth, he prepared to evolve Jue’s Star Attribute.

• Xu Yuan sealed the Serpent Spear Spirit Furnace embryo inside Eligo, who surrendered his cultivation and left to rebuild his strength; Agares explained that the Demon Clan had become cultivators who could lose their spirit furnaces to others.
• Xu Yuan transformed the Demon Gods’ Pillar Sources into spirit furnace embryos, while the scheming Star Demon God secretly withheld some of his power and departed with a weakened furnace.
• After seventy condensations, Xu Yuan used the Great Source Art to identify the law of evolution and activated it while creating Agares’s Moon Demon Spirit Furnace, which briefly recovered nearly all of its Pillar power.
• Xu Yuan sensed Feng Xiu’s dormant will in the Heaven Defying Demon Dragon Pillar and buried an incomplete spirit furnace phantom beneath the earth to be naturally nurtured over a thousand years.
• Xu Yuan met Jue in a Space Rift and prepared to use the law of evolution to evolve its Star Attribute.

Xu Yuan opened a Small World within the Star Spirit Furnace and cultivated a Ninth-Rank Spirit Pill, then fused and evolved three Spirit Furnaces to complete Jue’s advancement. The process left Jue with a physical body and Xu Yuan as only a faint phantom, setting their separation in motion.

• Xu Yuan explained to Xu Zhi that he intended to transfer the power of his three Martial Souls to Jue and rebuild himself after returning, pursuing the paths of the ultimate Weapon Soul and the ultimate self.
• Xu Yuan carved nine cracks through space and used Jue’s Star Power and the Holy Demon Continent’s laws to create a spear-shaped Small World enclosed in a Spirit Furnace.
• Xu Yuan condensed a Spirit Pill from his three Spirit Apertures, reached the Ninth Rank in spiritual power, and continued cultivating for two months as the Star Spirit Furnace developed.
• Xu Zhi brought Xu Yuan to Electrolux’s former inheritance site, where Xu Yuan fused the Holy Guidance Spirit Furnace, Yuan Vortex Spirit Furnace, and Star Spirit Furnace, then evolved them to their fourth forms.
• Xu Yuan began fusing the three evolved Spirit Furnaces with the Three Lives Spirit Furnace, transferring his Essence, Qi, and Spirit into it; Jue gained a physical body while Xu Yuan became a faint phantom.

Xu Yuan watched Jue become an independent Super Divine Artifact and overcome a million-year Heavenly Tribulation, then used Jue’s power to rebuild his body and strengthen himself. He arrived at Demon Suppression Pass to challenge Long Haochen, whose reaction suggested Xu Yuan’s strength was not what he had expected.

• Jue inherited Xu Yuan’s Essence, Qi, Spirit, spirit apertures, and spirit pill, then evolved through the four spirit furnaces into a Super Divine Artifact.
• Jue defeated the million-year Heavenly Tribulation, destroyed its Thunder Clouds, and returned to Xu Yuan’s hand as an independent life form.
• Xu Yuan told Xu Zhi he would challenge Long Haochen before returning, then used Jue’s power to rebuild his body and condense ninety spirit apertures.
• Xu Yuan traveled to Demon Suppression Pass and waited for Long Haochen, who arrived with a young woman and questioned whether Xu Yuan was the real one.
• Xu Yuan asked Long Haochen whether he was sure he wanted to fight at full strength, and Long Haochen frowned at Xu Yuan’s comment about a gap in his power.

Xu Yuan challenged Long Haochen and revealed how his Spirit Apertures formed a domain that overwhelmed Long Haochen’s God of Light Domain. Long Haochen brought out the Eternal and Creation Divine Throne, while Xu Yuan transformed his Spirit Furnaces and Hun Yuan Spear for the true battle to begin.

• Long Haochen challenged Xu Yuan without using the Eternal and Creation Divine Throne, and the two clashed with the King’s Sword and Hun Yuan Spear.
• Xu Yuan’s rapid, forceful spear attacks drove Long Haochen back and forced him to release his God of Light Domain.

• Xu Yuan revealed that he was a Spirit Furnace and merged his Star, Holy Guidance, and Yuan Vortex Spirit Furnaces with his armor and Hun Yuan Spear, then called Long Haochen to fight.

Xu Yuan used his Three Lives Spirit Furnace form to overwhelm Long Haochen with the Hun Yuan Spear and its devouring power, though Long Haochen's strength was greater. The battle ended when Xu Yuan's temporary body reached its limit and began collapsing, leaving Long Haochen stunned.

• Xu Yuan and Long Haochen began their duel, with Xu Yuan using spatial rifts and Starlight Vortices to absorb and counter Long Haochen's attacks.
• Long Haochen discovered that the vortices had limits, but they could release absorbed power to block further attacks, forcing him into close combat.
• Xu Yuan's Holy Guidance Spirit Furnace disrupted Long Haochen's sword techniques, though Long Haochen adapted enough to land a faster second strike before Xu Yuan interrupted him again.
• Xu Zhi explained to Cai'er that Xu Yuan integrated devouring power into every aspect of his fighting and applied it at crucial moments.
• Xu Yuan pierced Long Haochen with a final spear thrust, then withdrew his domain and explained that his temporary body could no longer withstand the battle.
• Xu Yuan's body and Spirit Apertures began to collapse, shocking Long Haochen.

Xu Yuan returned to Douluo Star and separated Jue from himself, transferring his Martial Souls, Inner World, and Soul Spirits into Jue so it could become a Super Divine Artifact with a true body. He then forged a new spiritual-power cultivation system and reached Half-step God King, while Yun Ming recognized the breakthrough as a practical application of the harvest stage.

• After Xu Yuan's body failed on the Holy Demon Continent, he merged into Jue and told Long Haochen he hoped they could work together before departing with Jue.
• Back on Douluo Star, Xu Yuan let Jue devour and fuse his Essence, Qi, Spirit, Martial Souls, Inner World, and Soul Spirits, while Yun Ming watched and the Soul Spirits helped form the Five Directions Heaven Origin Grand Formation.
• Jue became a Super Divine Artifact with the Inner World as its main body, while Xu Yuan reclaimed pure Essence, Qi, and Spirit and awakened a new spiritual-power system.
• Xu Yuan established four realms for his spiritual-power system and advanced directly to Return to One conditions, reaching Half-step God King without yet condensing an Origin.
• Xu Yuan reclaimed the Hun Yuan Spear and displayed twenty-seven Soul Rings, then explained his transformation to Yun Ming, who recognized it as the harvest stage in practice.

Xu Yuan returned to Douluo, learned that Tang Wulin was draining the Dragon Plane’s Origin to advance, and confronted him there. After protecting Xiao Jia and refusing to let Tang Wulin take the Origin, Xu Yuan identified the Divine Sense within him as Tang San’s.

• Xu Yuan urged Yun Ming to break through before the God Realm’s creation, and Yun Ming entered seclusion to consider how to advance.

• Xu Yuan ordered Tang Wulin to stop and said he would not allow him to take the Dragon Plane’s Origin.
• Xu Yuan accused the Divine Sense within Tang Wulin of being Tang San’s, shocking Tang Wulin.

Xu Yuan bound Tang Wulin and confronted Old Tang over Tang San’s past schemes, then defeated Old Tang’s Divine Sense projection. Tang Wulin’s final intervention seal awakened a new Sea God phantom, who threatened Xu Yuan as the chapter ended.

• Old Tang mistook Xu Yuan’s arrival for an attempt to kill Tang Wulin and ordered him to attack while sealing the Dragon Plane’s passage.

• A new Sea God phantom emerged from Tang Wulin’s golden trident mark, judged Xu Yuan, and vowed to settle the score personally.

Xu Yuan defeated Tang San’s phantom and kept Tang Wulin bound as the seventeenth seal began to break. After Tang Wulin gave up struggling, Xu Yuan restrained the Sea God Trident and began stripping the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, leaving Little Phoenix to help in exchange for access to the Tree of Life.

• Xu Yuan fought Tang San’s Sea God Phantom, countered its Blue Silver Emperor attacks, and overwhelmed it with lightning and Destruction Power.
• Tang San dispersed his phantom, threw the Sea God Trident to Tang Wulin, and urged him to break through the seventeenth seal and use Unfixed Storm to restrain the eighteenth.
• Tang Wulin broke through the seventeenth seal and absorbed the trident’s remaining power, but Xu Yuan reinforced his chains and suppressed him.
• Tang Wulin lost hope, stopped struggling, and let the Golden Dragon King’s mad intent consume him as the mark of Tang San’s divine sense shattered.
• Xu Yuan kept the Sea God Trident from being drawn away, then persuaded Little Phoenix to help strip the Golden Dragon King Bloodline in exchange for cultivation at the Tree of Life.
• Xu Yuan gave some of the extracted Bloodline Power to Xiao Jia while he and Little Phoenix continued removing the Golden Dragon King Origin.

After killing Tang Wulin, Xu Yuan took the Golden Dragon King Bloodline Origin to Blood God Star and gave Na Er the Golden Dragon Spear. The Blood God Lord then asked Xu Yuan to help claim a Blood God Egg, and they entered a hidden Small World that Little Phoenix suspected was part of the Dragon God's resurrection plan.

• Xu Yuan explained why he had stripped the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, buried Tang Wulin, and left the Dragon Plane with the bloodline origin.
• Xu Yuan visited Na Er on Blood God Star, told her he planned to give the bloodline to Wu Yue, and handed her the Golden Dragon Spear to fuse with her Silver Dragon Spear.

• Xu Yuan and the Blood God Lord teleported to a Space Rift and entered a Small World filled with the stench of blood and a mysterious heartbeat.

Xu Yuan learned that the Blood Demon God King had created nine Blood God Eggs to fuse bloodlines and sought to use one to help the Blood God Lord. The larger egg revealed the Blood Demon God King’s plan involving the Dragon God, and Xu Yuan left with a task to find nine Divine Beast bloodlines.

• Xu Yuan learned that the Blood Demon God King had left nine Blood God Eggs, each formed from one of his purified bloodlines, and suspected the Dragon God might have taken the seven that were missing.
• Xu Yuan told the Blood God Lord that the Five Elements Heaven Art qualified him to claim the smaller Blood God Egg, then urged him to use the method to approach it.
• The Blood God Lord used the Five Elements Heaven Art to fuse his five bloodlines more completely, claimed the egg, and began breaking through before Xu Yuan sent him outside.
• Xu Yuan approached the larger Blood God Egg and heard the Blood Demon God King explain that the Dragon God could still revive and become a threat despite Xu Yuan’s earlier actions.
• The Blood Demon God King asked Xu Yuan to take the larger egg out and find nine Divine Beast bloodlines, but Xu Yuan warned that those bloodlines had nearly disappeared from the former Divine Dragon Realm.

Xu Yuan negotiated with the Blood Demon God King, who offered help with his cultivation in exchange for nine Divine Beast bloodlines from Shén Lán Qí Yù. Xu Yuan deferred that mission to settle Douluo Star’s affairs, where Xu Shengqun and several other Soul Masters broke through to God Level, transforming the balance of power.

• The Blood Demon God King explained that nine Divine Beast bloodlines could restore him to Peak God King strength and revealed that his preparations lay in Shén Lán Qí Yù, a Realm connected to the Fire Host Clan.
