Chapter Summary

Key plot points and events

• Ye Tian and his companions enter the War God Academy, an ancient, self-contained realm crowned by the Nine Heavens River. A projection of the God Sovereign Sword dominates the sky, explaining why even powerful clans dare not challenge the academy.
• The academy is divided into four courts—Heaven, Earth, Dark, and Yellow—whose students generally correspond to different ranks of clans. The Heaven Court is reserved for the strongest prodigies and offers the greatest resources.
• Ye Tian’s group heads directly for the Heaven Court, confident that they need not concern themselves with weaker students.
• Su Chen and Prince Yama arrive afterward. Prince Yama has gained the Yama Imperial Clan’s recognition, received extensive support from the Flame Demon Imperial Clan, and advanced further toward the Divine Dao Domain.
• Learning that Su Changge is present and that the Blood Moon Princess is with Ye Tian, Su Chen and Prince Yama consider joining forces with other Calamity Immortal Prodigies against Ye Tian. They proceed toward the Heaven Court.

• The narration explains that the Flower Lady does intend to choose a disciple. War God Academy once rescued her from near death, when she had been grievously wounded by the Great Dao. In return for the Academy’s kindness, she agreed to select and teach the most promising student, then remain free to leave.
• She considers the candidates she has seen limited in potential and prepares to depart. Just then, Ye Tian arrives with Su Changge and other exceptional prodigies from the Eternal Immortal Domain.

Chapter Summary

• After Ye Tian kills the heirs of the Dark Golden Crow Clan and the Blood Chaos God Race, their companions leave to alert their clans. Ye Tian lets them go without concern.

• Instead, the King orders all three of the clan’s sleeping “Dark Freaks” awakened to challenge Ye Tian through the younger generation. He also hopes to enlist the Reincarnation Sea Blood Child, a Dark Sequence prodigy from the Reincarnation Forbidden Zone.
• The Blood Chaos God Race, whose future ruler Ye Tian also killed, likewise decides against a direct strike. Its leader issues an order to awaken two Dark Freaks so they can seek vengeance in the Great Era Contest.
• At the War God Academy, Ye Tian arrives at the Other Shore Flower Lady’s sleeping palace. She asks him to stay there until he becomes War God or until she regains her memories and sense of self. He agrees.
• As Ye Tian and the Lady survey the lavish palace, an enormous golden ranking board appears in the sky: the War God Ranking.

Character developments and interactions

• Su Chen is enraged and asks the Divine Tome whether bargaining with an ancient evil god could let him challenge Su Changge.

• Life Forbidden Zone prodigies resent Ye Tian’s dominance; one bloodied warrior vows to test him in a deadly confrontation.

Plot points

• Prince Yama and Su Chen decide they must awaken a third Calamity Immortal Prodigy to counter Ye Tian and Su Changge, whose growing alliance frustrates Su Chen’s expectation that they would clash.
• They identify the next prodigy as a Sacred Spirit: a naturally powerful being who emerged with Saint Realm cultivation and exceptional talent for the Dao. He is sealed inside a massive stone, and the pair set out to awaken him.
• In the Other Shore Flower Lady’s palace, she shares her understanding of the Great Dao with Ye Tian. Her insight appears as a Dao-infused other shore flower, which enters his brow and inspires a vision of the Yellow Springs Nether River and the Bridge of Helplessness.
• Ye Tian gains a new innate phenomenon: he can transform his surroundings into the Yellow Springs Nether River. It is powerful enough to threaten True Gods, but using it noticeably drains him, so he recognizes that it must be used sparingly.
• Ye Tian reflects on the Other Shore Flower Lady’s mysterious past and her memories that began resurfacing after meeting him. He sets aside the questions for now, focusing instead on defeating the Calamity Immortal Prodigies and ultimately destroying the World-Annihilating King rather than merely sealing him.

• Beyond containment: Ye Tian believes lasting peace requires eliminating the World-Annihilating King, not simply sealing him away.

Plot points and events

• Ye Tian instantly comprehends the Yellow Springs Nether River phenomenon, astonishing the Other Shore Flower Lady. Its usual requirements—deep mastery of reincarnation and a body strong enough to withstand its power—make his effortless success nearly unprecedented.
• The Flower Lady explains the War God Ranking: defeating ranked prodigies earns points, and beating someone with a higher rating can take their place. Yet nobody has challenged Ye Tian, Su Changge, or the Slaughter Divine Son.
• She suggests Ye Tian try the Hongmeng Tower, an ancient ten-floor trial that tests physical strength, Dao cultivation, divine abilities, and resolve. Each floor is more than ten times harder than the last. Reaching the sixth or seventh floor is exceptional; the eighth is extremely rare, the ninth has been reached by only a few legendary prodigies, and the tenth is said to be accessible only to forbidden figures.
• Legends claim someone who reaches the tenth floor can summon the Heavenly Ascension Ladder, a source of immense opportunities. Ye Tian agrees to try the tower—but first asks whether reaching the top comes with a reward.

Character developments and interactions

• Ye Tian demonstrates extraordinary learning ability and confidence, treating instant comprehension as ordinary. He is intrigued by the tower and approaches its ultimate challenge playfully, already thinking about the prize.
• The Other Shore Flower Lady is visibly stunned by Ye Tian’s talent, praises him, and encourages him to aim for the tenth floor. She also explains the tower’s history and the academy’s ranking system.

• Trials as measures of potential: The Hongmeng Tower tests not just strength but also Dao understanding and mental resolve.
• Ambition and legendary achievement: The tower’s upper floors symbolize increasingly rare levels of power, while the tenth floor and Heavenly Ascension Ladder represent mythic opportunity.

Plot and events

• The Other Shore Flower Lady offers Ye Tian one request if he reaches the Hongmeng Tower’s unprecedented tenth floor, so long as it is not unreasonable.
• Ye Tian leaves her palace and heads for the tower, where a large crowd of War God Academy students has gathered.
• The students discuss Ye Tian’s celebrated victories, exceptional physical strength, five-star assessment, and first place on the War God Ranking. Many expect him to reach at least the eighth or ninth floor; hostile observers keep their distance.
• Ye Tian enters the tower. Its first-floor pressure barely affects him, and he immediately steps onto the second floor, astonishing the spectators.

Character developments and interactions

• Ye Tian remains relaxed and confident, regarding the tower’s initial challenge as little more than a tickle. He privately estimates that he can clear the ninth floor.
• The Other Shore Flower Lady teases Ye Tian with the promise of a reward, while the students admire him and speculate about how far he will go. His enemies watch cautiously rather than confront him.

Significant themes

• Reputation and expectation: Ye Tian’s past victories have made students anticipate extraordinary feats before he even begins.
• Overwhelming strength: His ease on the first floor reinforces the gap between him and ordinary prodigies.
• Ambition and the unknown: The never-conquered tenth floor represents the tower’s ultimate test—and a possible reward beyond anyone’s experience.

Plot points and events

• Ye Tian bypasses the Hongmeng Tower’s first floor and advances rapidly, drawing astonishment from prodigies of the Myriad Heavens North Sea. Visitors from the Eternal Immortal Domain insist that his climb is only beginning and predict he can reach at least the eighth floor, perhaps the ninth.
• On the second floor, Ye Tian dismisses the spatial pressure effortlessly. On the third, he absorbs the trials of wind, fire, thunder, and lightning into his chaos physique without being harmed. On the fourth, he shakes off the crushing pressure and continues upward.
• The fifth floor presents a more notable trial: destructive black lightning. Though Imperial House prodigies there are badly injured by it, Ye Tian recognizes the lightning as familiar and considers refining it for himself.

Character developments

• Ye Tian’s strength, resilience, and confidence are emphasized. The Tower’s escalating challenges barely slow him, while his unusual physique lets him turn the third-floor trial into nourishment.
• The Blood Moon Princess tells her brother, the Dark Abyss Demon Prince, that she cannot oppose Ye Tian because he helped her awaken and control her powers. Privately, she reveals a deeper reason: she considers herself Ye Tian’s subordinate and feels no hostility toward him.
• The Dark Abyss Demon Prince notices his sister’s unusual interest in Ye Tian and recognizes the potential conflict between that gratitude and the ancient enmity separating the Ye Family from the Calamity Immortal Prodigies.

Character interactions

• Eternal Immortal Domain prodigies reassure the North Sea observers and praise Ye Tian as the “Eternal Myth,” while the latter react with disbelief and intimidation.
• The Dark Abyss Demon Prince questions his sister about her interest in Ye Tian. She offers gratitude as her explanation, though her private feelings are more submissive and devoted.
• Ye Tian’s effortless progress contrasts sharply with the struggling Royal Clan and Imperial House prodigies, who watch him advance far beyond their limits.

Significant themes

• Overwhelming talent and disparity: Ye Tian’s casual feats make even elite prodigies question whether they can compete with him.
• Power through adaptation: His physique absorbs hostile forces, turning trials into potential sources of strength.
• Gratitude, loyalty, and inherited enmity: The Blood Moon Princess’s personal debt to Ye Tian complicates the blood feud that should make them enemies.
• Reputation and expectation: Ye Tian’s established fame shapes how others interpret each new feat—and raises speculation about how far he can go.

Plot points and events

• On the Hongmeng Tower’s fifth floor, Ye Tian sits calmly amid destructive thunderbolts, absorbing and refining them into energy to strengthen his body and destruction origin.
• The other prodigies are stunned: they struggle merely to endure the thunderbolts and Great Dao pressure, while Ye Tian absorbs every bolt. With the thunderbolts gone, some Imperial House heirs break through and reach the sixth floor, but most are crushed by its pressure.
• Ye Tian steps onto the sixth floor without difficulty and immediately continues to the seventh, treating the tower’s escalating pressure as insignificant.
• Jade Dragon Princess, Long Nu’er, and Little Sun arrive from the Scripture Pavilion to watch. Their visit to the Pavilion had been rewarding, and Little Sun has reached the Great Emperor level.
• Spectators recall Ye Tian’s earlier ability to refine tribulation lightning and wonder how far he can climb. The Dark Abyss Demon Prince, in particular, reflects on Ye Tian’s rapid rise and believes he may reach the ninth or even tenth floor.

Character developments

• Ye Tian demonstrates that his control over destructive Great Dao power and physical strength far surpass the tower’s challenges. He remains composed and dismissive of the pressure, comparing it unfavorably to the Heavenly Dragon Tower.
• Little Sun has made extraordinary progress, advancing from the Supreme Realm to the pinnacle of the Humanity Domain and becoming a Great Emperor.

• The spectators, including the Dark Abyss Demon Prince and Blood Moon Princess, closely follow Ye Tian’s ascent and discuss his reputation and possible limits.

• Reputation and rising expectations: His past achievements shape the crowd’s belief that he may reach the tower’s highest floors.

Key plot points and events

• Ye Tian reaches the Hongmeng Tower’s seventh layer with extraordinary ease. Unlike the first six layers, this level has no Great Dao pressure: challengers must enter their Divine Soul Space and defeat a Netherworld Evil Demon of the same cultivation realm to advance.
• The demons are far more experienced and skilled than their opponents. Losing can injure a challenger’s divine soul, making this trial much more dangerous; a Heavenly Dipper Demon Race prodigy is badly wounded and forced to stop.
• Ye Tian’s opponent appears unusually large and powerful. Its scythe-wielding form resembles the Soul-Reaping Heavenly Demons, hinting at a connection between the Myriad Heavens North Sea and the Life Forbidden Zone.
• While observers worry that fighting too long will damage Ye Tian’s divine soul, he dismisses the challenge and destroys the demon with a single Chaos Great Hand Seal, shattering both its body and scythe.

Character developments and interactions

• Ye Tian remains calm and impatient with the trial, showing confidence in his overwhelming power. Rather than engage in a prolonged battle, he ends it with one decisive strike.
• The watching prodigies are divided between curiosity, concern, and astonishment. Even powerful Imperial Clan heirs and Dark Freaks have struggled, while Ye Tian appears poised to overcome the layer effortlessly.
• The wounded Heavenly Dipper Demon Race prodigy demonstrates the severe personal cost of failing the seventh-layer trial.

Significant themes

• A dramatic rise in difficulty: Reaching the seventh layer marks a threshold where success depends on divine-soul strength and skill, not merely physical or cultivation power.
• Risk and self-damage: A prolonged fight can weaken a challenger’s own soul, making restraint and decisive force crucial.
• Ye Tian’s exceptional strength: His effortless ascent and one-strike victory set him apart from the tower’s other elite challengers.
• Mystery and foreshadowing: The demon’s resemblance to the Soul-Reaping Heavenly Demons suggests a deeper link between the tower’s dark power and the Life Forbidden Zone.

Key plot points and events

• Ye Tian defeats the Seventh Layer’s unusually powerful Netherworld Evil Demon with a single Chaos Great Hand Seal, shocking the watching prodigies.
• His effortless victory confirms that the Hongmeng Tower’s challenges grow stronger with each prodigy’s strength; Ye Tian’s opponent was far more powerful than those faced by others.
• A Holy Son boasting of his Sixfold Profound Sacred Body attempts to follow Ye Tian toward the higher layers. He is overwhelmed by the tower’s pressure on the sixth layer and expelled, proving the tower is formidable—the gap between him and Ye Tian is simply enormous.
• Other prodigies conclude Ye Tian may have been holding back when he previously defeated two Imperial Clan heirs. The Blood Moon Princess openly admires him.
• Ye Tian steps onto the Eighth Layer, while the Dark Abyss Demon Prince watches and begins weighing a political strategy for his people.

Character developments and interactions

• Ambition and survival: The Demon Prince hopes to use the coming upheaval to protect and advance his people—and possibly raise them above their current status.

Plot points and events

• Ye Tian reaches the Hongmeng Tower’s eighth floor, a trial so rare that even many celebrated prodigies never reach it. The eighth floor is regarded as a step toward earning the tower’s recognition and exceptional rewards; reaching the ninth is a legendary achievement.
• The trial places Ye Tian in a star-filled space and summons hundreds of Chaos Gods and Devils, each at his own Supreme Realm level. He must defeat them all to enter the ninth floor.
• Spectators gather around the tower’s display, amazed by Ye Tian’s progress and by the trial’s seemingly impossible scale. Many doubt anyone could survive the overwhelming attack.
