Chapter Summaries

Di Jun and Taiyi began their decisive battle against the Twelve Ancestral Witches and Jiufeng, while concealing a plan to use the Primordial River-Luo Grand Formation to kill Qiangliang and Xi Ci. The fight split into six battlefields, with the Witch Clan holding the advantage as both sides kept their trump cards in reserve.

• Di Jun explained his strategy to Taiyi, then hid more than four hundred Great Firmament Golden Immortals inside the River Chart and Luo Book.
• Di Jun and Taiyi released their Three Corpse Dao Bodies and headed to the Nine Heavens Astral Wind Void Layer, where the Twelve Ancestral Witches and Jiufeng confronted them.
• Taiyi and Di Jun attacked, and the combatants divided into six battlefields amid torrents of clashing Great Daos.
• Dijiang, Zhu Jiuyin, and five other Ancestral Witches held their own against Taiyi, while Qiangliang and Xi Ci fell into a disadvantage against Di Jun but remained difficult to injure.
• Di Jun and Taiyi's Good Corpse and Evil Corpse Dao Bodies were overwhelmed by the Ancestral Witches they faced, leaving the Witch Clan with the overall advantage.
• Di Jun planned to lure Qiangliang and Xi Ci into the Primordial River-Luo Grand Formation and kill them before the Twelve Ancestral Witches could form the Twelve Heavenly Fiendish Gods Formation.

Fuxi admired the River Chart and Luo Book and realized he was unlikely to obtain them during the Witch-Demon battle. Yuan Yan predicted that the Witch Clan would win, though Fuxi questioned how Di Jun and Taiyi could survive against the Twelve Heavenly Fiendish Gods Formation.

• After watching the battle for centuries, Fuxi recognized the power of the River Chart, Luo Book, and Primordial River-Luo Grand Formation and longed to possess the treasures.
• Fuxi concluded that Di Jun would not trade away the foundation of his formation, so he abandoned the idea of seizing the treasures or joining the Demon Clan to obtain them.
• Yuan Yan told Fuxi that an opportunity to obtain the treasures might arise in the future because Di Jun and Taiyi would struggle to survive the Calamity Cycle.
• Fuxi asked who would win the battle, and Yuan Yan confidently predicted that the Witch Clan would prevail.
• Yuan Yan explained that the Twelve Ancestral Witches could still form the Twelve Heavenly Fiendish Gods Formation even if Qiangliang and Xi Ci were trapped, leaving Fuxi wondering how Di Jun and Taiyi would survive.

Di Jun and Taiyi used the Chaos Bell’s time-space suppression to trap Qiangliang and Xi Ci inside the Primordial River-Luo Grand Formation, whose power surpassed Primordial Golden Immortal Fullness. The remaining Ancestral Witches broke free and believed they could still overcome the formation by forming the Twelve Heavenly Fiendish Gods Formation.

• Yuan Yan predicted that the Primordial River-Luo Grand Formation could not reach Hunyuan Great Firmament Golden Immortal level and considered how Di Jun and Taiyi might survive.
• Nuwa lamented that Di Jun and Taiyi would likely survive, since she and Yuan Yan wanted their treasures.
• Di Jun and Taiyi burned their origins, and Taiyi used the Chaos Bell to freeze the Ancestral Witches in time and space.
• Di Jun teleported hundreds of millions of Demon Clan members and more than four hundred Great Firmament Golden Immortals to the formation’s nodes and activated the Primordial River-Luo Grand Formation.
• Di Jun drew Qiangliang and Xi Ci into the miniature Primordial World, allowing the other Ancestral Witches to break free of the Chaos Bell’s suppression.
• Taiyi declared the Witch Clan doomed, while Dijiang and the others believed they could defeat the formation by forming the Twelve Heavenly Fiendish Gods Formation.

Jiufeng realized the Twelve Ancestral Witches could still communicate through their bloodline and urged them to form the Twelve Heavenly Fiendish Gods Formation. As the formation drew on Pangu’s power and began to take shape, Di Jun and Taiyi sensed an overwhelming threat.

• Jiufeng warned the other Ancestral Witches that the Primordial River-Luo Grand Formation was likely stronger when fully formed and urged them to summon the Pangu True Body.
• Qiangliang and Xi Ci remained trapped as Di Jun unleashed the formation’s attacks, injuring their powerful physical bodies.
• Dijiang, Zhu Jiuyin, and the other Ancestral Witches activated their Pangu Bloodlines and gathered Innate Fiendish Qi, raising their strength to Peak Late-Stage Primordial Golden Immortal.
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches, including Qiangliang and Xi Ci, merged into the Twelve Heavenly Fiendish Gods Formation and drew forth Pangu’s power.
• A towering phantom began to solidify, and Di Jun and Taiyi felt a life-and-death threat and an instinctive urge to worship it.

Di Jun and Taiyi drove the Primordial River-Luo Grand Formation to its limit, but the Witch Clan completed Pangu True Body and appeared poised to defeat them. Watching from Kunlun Mountain, Tongtian anticipated the Demon Clan leaders’ deaths and the chance to claim the Chaos Bell, though Yuan Yan’s group of six stood in his way.

• Di Jun ordered Taiyi into the Primordial River-Luo Grand Formation, and Taiyi entered with their Three Corpse Dao Bodies while burning their origins.
• Di Jun and the Demon Clan burned their origins to push the Primordial River-Luo Grand Formation’s power to its limit, but it remained below the Hunyuan Great Firmament Golden Immortal level.
• The Twelve Heavenly Fiendish Gods Formation fully condensed Pangu True Body, shocking the Demon Clan and the watching powers.
• On Jade Void Peak, Tongtian and Yuanshi recognized Pangu True Body and discussed the Three Pure Ones’ ability to form the Three Talents Primordial Formation and condense the Pangu Primordial Spirit.
• Tongtian expected Di Jun and Taiyi to die and considered seeking his brothers’ help to seize the Chaos Bell, while recognizing Yuan Yan’s group of six as the main obstacle.

Yuan Yan reassured Nuwa that Yingzhou Immortal Island could withstand the Pangu True Body as its strength grew. On the battlefield, the Pangu True Body shattered the Demon Clan’s Primordial River-Luo Grand Formation, leaving Di Jun, Taiyi, and the surviving demons badly wounded and facing another attack.

• Yuan Yan told Nuwa that his future cultivation, the Twenty-Fourth-Rank Creation Azure Lotus, and the strengthening Heaven-Earth Origin-Returning Formation would let their lineage contend with the Pangu True Body.
• The Pangu True Body summoned the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe, causing the Chaos Bell, Taiji Diagram, and Pangu Banner to stir toward it.
• Taiyi sacrificed Origin Essence Blood and drew on the Demon Clan’s Fortune to transform the Chaos Bell into the Eastern Emperor Bell, suppressing its response to the Pangu True Body.
• Unable to summon the real axe, the Pangu True Body condensed a phantom Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe and cleaved at the Primordial River-Luo Grand Formation.
• Di Jun and Taiyi drove the formation to its limit, but the axe strike shattered it, killed or injured hundreds of millions of demons, and damaged the River Chart and Luo Book.
• The remaining axe power injured Di Jun and Taiyi further, and the two refused to accept their fate as the surviving demons fell into despair.

Di Jun and Taiyi used the Eastern Emperor Bell to withstand the Pangu True Body’s second axe strike, but the attack left them near death. The Twelve Ancestral Witches discovered Dongwang Gong’s hidden formation and chose to dismiss the Pangu True Body rather than risk a final strike and expose themselves to attack.

• Di Jun stored the surviving Demon Clan members in the River Chart and Luo Book, then joined Taiyi in burning their Primordial Origins to empower the Eastern Emperor Bell.
• The Pangu True Body struck with Earth-Cleaving, and Di Jun and Taiyi answered with Eastern Emperor Suppresses the World, unleashing a collision that shook the Primordial Continent and Starry Sky.
• Yuan Yan, the great powers, Purple Light, Xi He, and Changxi protected the surrounding realms from the collision’s aftermath.
• The Pangu Axe light shattered the Eastern Emperor Bell’s Mystic Yellow Treasure Light and severely wounded Di Jun and Taiyi, but the Demon Clan’s Fortune preserved their lives.
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches sensed Dongwang Gong’s hidden Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and realized a final strike would leave them vulnerable to him.
• After Houtu asked how to proceed, Dijiang decided that the Twelve Ancestral Witches would dismiss the Pangu True Body without using its final strike.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches dispersed the Pangu True Body to preserve their strength and deter Dongwang Gong and the other powers from seizing the Chaos Bell and River Chart and Luo Book. As they surrounded the dying Di Jun and Taiyi, Di Jun realized Heavenly Dao Merit might let them recover enough to escape.

• Dijiang persuaded the other Ancestral Witches to disperse the Pangu True Body rather than spend their remaining strength on a final strike.
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches revealed the hidden powers, including Dongwang Gong, then dispersed the Pangu True Body while keeping the ability to form it again.
• The gathered powers recognized the Ancestral Witches and Dongwang Gong remained formidable threats, though some continued watching for a chance to seize the treasures.
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches and Jiufeng surrounded Di Jun and Taiyi, wary of the Chaos Bell and their desperate counterattack.
• Di Jun realized he and Taiyi could consume their remaining Heavenly Dao Merit, recover part of their strength, and use the Chaos Bell to try to escape.

Di Jun and Taiyi used Merit to recover enough from their Dao Injuries to escape the Twelve Ancestral Witches and Jiufeng. The pursuers realized the brothers had recovered far more than expected and concluded Merit was the cause.

• Di Jun and Taiyi secretly restored their Dao Injuries with Merit and agreed to break out together rather than abandon one another.
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches and Jiufeng attacked from a distance while Dijiang, Zhu Jiuyin, and the Five Elements Ancestral Witches restrained the brothers’ treasures and battered the Chaos Bell.
• Di Jun and Taiyi burned their origins, used the Eastern Emperor Bell to freeze the Ancestral Witches briefly, detonated their High-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, and fled through space and time.
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches and Jiufeng realized Di Jun and Taiyi had recovered forty to fifty percent of their strength and wondered what treasure had healed them.
• Houtu suggested Merit as the source of the recovery, and Jiufeng agreed.

Di Jun and Taiyi escaped the Ancestral Witches by using the Chaos Bell and merit to recover their injuries, though the Demon Clan faced a severe decline in fortune and strength. Furious at Dongwang Gong for helping them escape, the Ancestral Witches returned to Mount Buzhou to recuperate while keeping their resentment concealed.

• The Ancestral Witches realized Di Jun and Taiyi had used merit to heal their Dao Injuries and resolved not to let Dongwang Gong escape their vengeance.
• Di Jun and Taiyi activated the Chaos Bell, tore through space-time, and escaped the encirclement, shocking the watching great powers.
• The great powers judged that the Demon Clan would weaken as the Ancestral Witches seized its territories, leaving its members without a place to recover or cultivate.
• The chapter explained that the Demon Clan's accumulated murderous karmic force could cause its fortune to collapse and bring backlash upon Di Jun and Taiyi.
• Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin led the Twelve Ancestral Witches and Jiufeng out of the Nine Heavens Astral Wind Void Layer and back to Mount Buzhou and Pangu Temple to recover.

Dongwang Gong returned to Penglai Immortal Island furious that Di Jun and Taiyi had escaped, ruining his chance to seize their treasures. Fearing the Thirteen Ancestral Witches would target him, he rejected a preemptive attack and could find no way out of his predicament.

• Dongwang Gong returned to his cultivation hall and destroyed its decorations while cursing Di Jun and Taiyi for fleeing the Thirteen Ancestral Witches.
• Dongwang Gong lamented that their deaths might have let him seize the Chaos Bell, River Chart, and Luo Book with the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.
• Dongwang Gong realized the Thirteen Ancestral Witches blamed him for their failure to kill Di Jun and Taiyi and might attack him once they recovered.
• Dongwang Gong considered attacking first but judged that the Pangu True Body could devastate his formation and leave him vulnerable to the Witch Clan.
• Dongwang Gong pondered how to escape the danger but could not find a solution.

Kunpeng and Minghe realized that powerful formations could threaten even the strongest cultivators, prompting them to strengthen their own defenses. Kunpeng began studying formations, while Minghe set aside cultivation to merge more deeply with the Blood Sea.

• Kunpeng recognized that the Twelve Heavenly Fiendish Gods Formation, Primordial River-Luo Grand Formation, and Ten Thousand Immortals Formation could kill him, and he began deducing a formation of his own.
• Kunpeng considered how other great formations relied on special resources and decided to develop his formation gradually while cultivating subordinate forces.
• Minghe worried that his 480 million Blood God Sons could be destroyed by power exceeding Primordial Golden Immortal Fullness, leaving him vulnerable because he had not fully merged with the Blood Sea.
• Minghe realized the Blood Sea’s value could attract hostile forces, especially after he began purifying its waters for exchange through the Yingzhou Commerce Association.
• Minghe stopped his cultivation and began deeply merging with the Blood Sea.

After sensing that Dongwang Gong might target her with the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, Queen Mother of the West weighed her options for protection. She decided to seek help from Yingzhou Immortal Island first and reconsidered joining its lineage, though she remained unsure what position she could accept.

• Queen Mother of the West reflected on the rival factions’ formations and sensed through the Kunlun Mirror that danger might be approaching.
• She concluded that Dongwang Gong might coerce her into joining the Immortal Court after she had rejected him twice.
• Queen Mother of the West ruled out seeking help from the Demon Clan or the Three Pure Ones and weighed appealing to the Witch Clan or Yingzhou Immortal Island.
• She decided to seek aid from Yingzhou Immortal Island first and turn to the Witch Clan if Yuan Yan and the others refused.
• Queen Mother of the West recalled that she had considered joining Yingzhou Immortal Island several hundred yuanhui earlier but hesitated over what status she would hold there.

Queen Mother of the West decided to seek a place in the Yingzhou Immortal Island Lineage and set out for Yingzhou Immortal Island. Elsewhere, Zhen Yuanzi, Hong Yun, and the Three Pure Ones remained unconcerned about the peerless formations of the witches, demons, and immortals because of their own protections and strength.

• Queen Mother of the West decided to join the Yingzhou Immortal Island Lineage, hoping its Merit and Fortune would help her attain enlightenment, while leaving any romantic ties with Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, or Yuan Ling to develop naturally.
• Queen Mother of the West emerged from seclusion, arranged affairs at Kunlun Ruins, and traveled to Yingzhou Immortal Island.
• Zhen Yuanzi continued his seclusion, trusting the Earth Book Grand Formation to deter anyone from attacking him.
• Hong Yun remained in seclusion with Zhen Yuanzi, accepting his protection despite wanting to travel alone because Hongmeng Purple Qi made him a target.
• The Three Pure Ones remained untroubled by the witches', demons', and immortals' formations, relying on their Innate Supreme Treasures, Pangu Legacy, and Three Talents Primordial Formation.

Queen Mother of the West revealed that she wished to pledge allegiance to the Yingzhou Immortal Island Lineage, and Yuan Yan and the others recognized that the alliance would benefit both sides. They agreed to welcome her together, leaving her offer ready to be accepted.

• As Yuan Yan and the others prepared to part after the War of Witches and Demons, they sensed Queen Mother of the West approaching and planned for Fuxi to receive her.
• Queen Mother of the West deliberately made her intention clear: she wished to pledge herself to the group and join the Yingzhou Immortal Island Lineage.
• Yuan Yan and the others considered the benefits of her resources, Fortune, and strength, as well as the protection and cultivation support she would gain.
• Yuan Yan proposed accepting Queen Mother of the West and receiving her together, while Fuxi questioned whether her offer concealed a problem.
• Nuwa vouched for Queen Mother of the West's peaceful nature and said she had previously sensed her interest in joining; Yuan Jie suggested she had finally made up her mind.

Yuan Yan and the other five agreed to accept the Queen Mother of the West into the Yingzhou Immortal Island Lineage as Deputy Sect Leader. After she formally asked to join, she explained that she had refused Dongwang Gong’s proposal to establish the Immortal Court and become Dao companions.

• Yuan Yan proposed creating the position of Deputy Sect Leader for the Queen Mother of the West, and Yuan Jie and the other four agreed.
• The Queen Mother of the West arrived at Yingzhou Immortal Island and felt reassured when all six Sect Leaders came out to welcome her.
• After a feast, the Queen Mother of the West bowed and asked Yuan Yan and the others to take her in.
• Yuan Yan welcomed her and asked why she wanted to submit herself to them.
• The Queen Mother of the West revealed that Dongwang Gong had twice invited her to establish the Immortal Court and become Dao companions, but she had refused because she distrusted his ambition and feared he would perish in a future tribulation.

Queen Mother of the West explained that Dongwang Gong might force her into the Immortal Court to strengthen himself against the Witch Clan, so she joined Yuan Yan’s Yingzhou Immortal Island Lineage for protection. Appointed Deputy Sect Leader, she merged her Fortune with the lineage’s and gained an enlightenment that brought her close to a breakthrough.

• Queen Mother of the West described Dongwang Gong’s threat and explained why he might try to force her into the Immortal Court.

• Queen Mother of the West merged her Fortune and Kunlun Ruins’ Fortune into the lineage’s Fortune, which increased in response and bestowed an even greater torrent upon her.
• Queen Mother of the West entered enlightenment, advanced her cultivation and Three Corpse Dao Bodies, and came close to breaking through.

After Queen Mother of the West joined the Yingzhou Immortal Island Lineage, Dongwang Gong abandoned his plan to coerce her and struggled to find another way to survive the Witch Clan’s threat. Yuan Yan returned to the Three Lights Divine Water Pool with Nuwa to resume seclusion.

• Yuan Yan and the other five settled Queen Mother of the West’s duties and compensation, then had Fuxi guide her and her female immortals into the Yingzhou Immortal Island Lineage.
• Dongwang Gong planned to conceal the Heavenly Secrets, force Queen Mother of the West to join him, and ally with Di Jun and Taiyi, but her allegiance to Yingzhou made the plan untenable.
• Dongwang Gong considered establishing the Immortal Court, recruiting powerful figures, and holding a banquet to intimidate the Witch Clan, though none of the ideas seemed enough to break the deadlock.
• Yuan Yan returned with Nuwa to the Three Lights Divine Water Pool to continue their seclusion, while the Yin-Yang Great Dao Furnace and Treasure-Dropping Money had already fused into a Half-Step Innate Merit Supreme Treasure.

After the Origin Dao Furnace was completed and placed at Changbai Mountain, Yuan Yan reviewed the group’s cultivation after five hundred Epochs and considered how to help them advance. He remembered Nine Yin-Yang Evolutions, whose nine transformations had brought the innate foundations of himself and his three brothers close to those of Chaos Gods and Demons.

• The Yin-Yang Great Dao Furnace and Treasure-Dropping Money fused into the Origin Dao Furnace, which Yuan Ling placed at Changbai Mountain to refine Origin Dao Pills and convert Grievance Fiendish Qi Origin.
• Yuan Yan reviewed the six cultivators’ progress and found that none of their true bodies had broken through their current cultivation bottlenecks, though their Three Corpse Dao Bodies were closer to advancing.
• Yuan Yan considered whether the true bodies should keep cultivating separately or focus on helping their Three Corpse Dao Bodies advance before merging them back.
• Yuan Yan recalled that he had created Nine Yin-Yang Evolutions and that his brothers and their Dao Bodies could cultivate it through their shared Great Dao insights.
• Yuan Yan reflected that nine Yinyang Evolutions had brought his and his brothers’ innate foundations to the limit of Top-Tier Innate Divines, approaching the foundations of Chaos Gods and Demons.

Yuan Yan decided that he and his companions should develop physiques and Primordial Spirits tailored to their own Great Daos, while their Dao Bodies prioritized advancing their cultivation. Yuan Ling proposed that the Three Corpse Dao Bodies also link their minds to help one another break through, leaving the group with a shared cultivation plan to consider.

• Yuan Yan explained that having everyone practice the Nine Yin-Yang Evolutions would make it easier to fuse their Dao Bodies and perfect their Primordial Dao Fruits.
• Yuan Yan recognized that the Nine Yin-Yang Evolutions had not sufficiently strengthened their physical bodies and Primordial Spirits, and recalled inspiration from the Pangu True Body and a past-life cultivation system.
• Yuan Yan decided that he would create a physique and Primordial Spirit structure based on his Great Dao, while his Three-Selves Dao Bodies focused on rapidly advancing their cultivation.
• Yuan Yan extended his plan to Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling, saying they should also develop structures suited to their own Great Daos.
• Yuan Ling suggested that the Three Corpse Dao Bodies link their minds and souls to help each Dao Body break through in turn, using earlier breakthroughs to ease later ones.
