Key plot points and events

• As the black coffin approaches the vortex, four colossal pedestals appear and the vortex freezes. Their statues awaken as demon-god guardians of the Black Pyramid, each carrying the aura of the World-Annihilating King.
• The guardians—an eighteen-armed torturer, a snake-haired demoness, a headless warrior, and a skeletal monk—are revealed as powerful, nearly immortal God Venerable imprints. They seal the area and attack together.
• Ye Tian sends Huang Ruoxi, Xiao Yan, Eli, and the others to safety under the protection of the Qi of All Things’ Mother Cauldron, then faces the four guardians alone.

He breaks the statues’ weapons, tears off the warrior’s arms, damages the headless god, nullifies the Gorgon’s petrifying rays, and smashes the monk’s suppression formation.
• The statues unleash desperate, origin-burning attacks: a poisonous sea, a storm of demonic weapons, an empowered giant axe, and a soul-sacrificing spell. Ye Tian counters with Chaos True Flame, his golden body, Four Sacred Beast manifestations, and further double-pupil powers.
• He defeats the statues one by one, then destroys the last surviving warrior with a massive chaos sword. All four imprints are annihilated, and Ye Tian calmly declares the fight a warm-up.

Rather than retreating, he meets its speed with the Kunpeng Art and decisively counters each new technique. He also shows greater ruthlessness than before, rejecting the Cicada’s plea for mercy.

Chapter Summary
