• The army celebrates enthusiastically, its morale and unity reaching a peak after surviving the battle and receiving the Plane Lord’s blessing.
• However, Ye Xishui and Zhongli Wu remain dissatisfied because they receive only the same diluted healing energy as ordinary soldiers.

Chapter Summary: The Fury of Defeat, the Sacred Lord Turns Hostile

Key Plot Points and Events

• While Lei Chen considers how to strengthen the Holy Spirit Cult and help it create resources for reforging the Angel Godhood, the Abyssal Saint Lord retreats into the half-fused Abyssal Territory after suffering a disastrous defeat.
• The Abyssal invasion fails catastrophically:
  • The Abyssal army suffers enormous casualties.
  • The Scythe Emperor and many Abyssal Kings are killed.
  • The Golden Ancient Tree purifies and absorbs the origin energy released by the dead Abyssal forces.
  • The Abyss Plane loses approximately five percent of its total energy, while the Douluo Plane gains the same amount, creating a ten-percent shift in their relative strength.
• The Saint Lord recognizes that the first battle has effectively decided the plane war. Lei Chen is at least his equal, the Guardian of Living Beings’ Divine Armor counters his Heaven-Sage Rift Abyss Halberd, and the strengthened Douluo Plane now gives Lei Chen an even greater advantage.
• Electrolux remains a major threat by holding off two opponents alone, while the Soul Engineer corps has proven capable of resisting or killing Demigods.
• The Saint Lord considers fleeing but realizes that the Abyss Plane and Douluo Plane have already entered a Plane Adherence state. Their foundations are intertwined, so separating them would severely damage or potentially destroy the Abyss Plane.
• Trapped between certain defeat and impossible retreat, the Saint Lord gives in to rage and searches for someone to blame.

Character Developments

• Abyssal Saint Lord: His confidence collapses into fear, humiliation, desperation, and fury. He understands that his strategic decision to attempt direct Plane Adherence was a disastrous miscalculation. Unable to confront his own failure, he redirects his anger toward Tang Hao and Ah Yin.
• Tang Hao: Already angered by the defeat, he reacts fiercely to the Saint Lord’s accusations. He releases his divine power and manifests the Clear Sky Hammer, openly challenging the Abyssal ruler.
• Ah Yin: Remains loyal to Tang Hao and firmly rejects the accusation that they are spies or collaborators with Lei Chen. She restrains and supports her husband while confronting the Saint Lord with cold indignation.
• Lei Chen: Though absent from the immediate confrontation, he is portrayed as the decisive military and strategic advantage of the Douluo side. His power and Divine Armor have directly undermined the Saint Lord’s confidence.
• Electrolux and the Soul Engineer corps: Their performance in battle establishes them as crucial contributors to the Douluo victory.

Significant Themes

• The decisive nature of first battles: In a Plane Adherence war, an initial victory strengthens one plane while weakening the other, making reversal extremely difficult.
• The consequences of overconfidence: The Saint Lord relied too heavily on Tang Hao and Ah Yin’s supposed strength and hatred of Lei Chen, leading him to choose an unnecessarily risky invasion strategy.

• He sarcastically suggests that they may have been spies deliberately luring him into a trap.

• Ah Yin reinforces Tang Hao’s defense, insisting that their hatred of Lei Chen is genuine and irreconcilable.
• The Saint Lord mocks their claim, accusing them of being incompetent “defeated dogs” whose failure allowed Electrolux, Lei Chen, and the Douluo forces to turn the battle against the Abyss.
• The chapter ends with the confrontation escalating, as the Saint Lord openly blames the couple for the deaths, losses, and collapse of his invasion plan.

• The Abyssal Saint Lord: Initially cooperative, he reveals his true colors, prioritizing his own interests and the Abyss Plane's power over his alliance with Tang Hao and Ah Yin. He remains calculating and desperate even after absorbing their power.

• The Sacred Lord considers seeking help from the Crimson Domain but dismisses it as impractical due to the vast distance and time required.

Chapter Summary: “Resolute Self-Destruction, Energy Torrent”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Sacred Lord insists that the Abyss remains his domain and threatens to kill Lei Chen, Electrolux, and their allies.
• Lei Chen counters that the Abyss is already weakening because its plane origin is draining, making it more like a fragile cage than an invincible domain.
• Electrolux begins dismantling the 108th Abyssal Layer directly with the Law of Annihilation. Rather than attacking its physical terrain, he erodes the layer’s fundamental laws and energy structure.
• As the layer starts collapsing, Lei Chen intercepts Sacred Lord, preventing him from stopping Electrolux. The two Lords of Planes engage in a fierce battle.

• Desperation and self-destruction: Sacred Lord’s decision to detonate his own allies reflects the destructive extremity of his commitment to preserving the Abyss.

• Electrolux: Remains composed, detached, and efficient. He plays a crucial strategic role by destroying the Abyss’s 108th layer and transporting its energy back to nourish the Douluo Plane.

• Lei Chen recognizes that the Sacred Lord is near defeat and asks Electrolux to join him in ending the battle quickly.

• His bond with the Douluo Plane grows stronger as the plane’s origin energy is restored and redirected to him. This turns him into an increasingly powerful force while the Sacred Lord declines.
• Electrolux shifts from independently destroying the abyss to cooperating directly with Lei Chen. His calm, precise control of the Eternal Tower proves essential to trapping the Sacred Lord.
• The Abyssal Saint Lord changes from a powerful aggressor into a desperate survivor. His exhaustion, loss of origin power, and inability to escape the Eternal Tower’s suppression leave him unable to fight on equal terms.

Significant Themes

• Cooperation against overwhelming evil: Lei Chen and Electrolux combine their complementary abilities—Electrolux provides restraint and control, while Lei Chen delivers destructive attacks.

• Hidden strength and preparation: Lei Chen’s concealed Divine Artifact reveals that victory depends not only on current power but also on carefully preserved trump cards.

  • The Golden Ancient Tree’s Life Core
  • Kong Deming’s Linked Soul-Conduit Array
  • The Super Divine Artifact,

Divine Armor of the Guardian of Living Beings
