Chapter Summaries

Zhang Xuanqing failed to persuade Cangzhou cultivators to pool their Vital Energy Essence and instead watched them choose to seek protection from Taizhou and Jingzhou. At Qingqiu Demon Kingdom’s base, Crimson Pupil learned from Chen Daoxuan that they would launch a final assault on Shituo Demon Kingdom and Great Yuan Demon Kingdom.

• Zhang Xuanqing warned Chen Fusheng that Crimson Pupil had become a half-step Demon King after devouring Realm Demons, and the two discussed the danger to Human cultivators.

Jiang Chenyuan and Ji Yanxiang decided to withdraw the Taizhou and Jingzhou cultivators to the Human Realm, demanding half the Cangzhou cultivators’ Vital Energy Essence for protection. Meanwhile, Chen Daoxuan led Qingqiu’s army toward the Two Realms Gateway to ambush the remaining Realm Demons and charge others a toll, leaving the coming battle poised to begin.

• Chen Daoxuan instructed Crimson Pupil to let Jiye demons and Human cultivators pass if they paid a toll, and to confront those who refused.

Qingqiu Demon Kingdom’s forces blocked the Space Gate, forcing the human cultivators and rival Demon Kingdoms to unite against them. Chen Daoxuan backed Crimson Pupil as the combined forces approached, leaving the confrontation about to begin.

• Xue Qi Great Demon and Moga Great Demon agreed to unite the Shituo and Great Yuan Demon Kingdoms against Qingqiu.

• Chen Daoxuan assured Crimson Pupil that he would cover the battle, giving it confidence to face the approaching coalition.
• Chen Daoxuan spotted the Shituo and Great Yuan coalition, the human cultivators, and the Jiye Demon Kingdom forces converging on the Space Gate.

Crimson Pupil Great Demon defeated Xue Qi Great Demon with Chen Daoxuan’s Soul Stabilizing Divine Light, forcing the demon alliance and the Human cultivators to concede. He demanded that every faction hand over its Vital Energy Essence, and after the Jiye Demon Kingdom departed with its forces, Xue Qi agreed while Jiang Chenyuan faced the same demand.

• Crimson Pupil Great Demon and Xue Qi Great Demon fought one-on-one after Crimson Pupil ordered his forces to hold back.

Jiang Chenyuan and the Human cultivators handed over their Vital Energy Essence and passed through the Space Gate, while Chen Daoxuan used Crimson Pupil Great Demon and the Small Tower to ambush the Shituo Demon Kingdom and Great Yuan Demon Kingdom. After Qingqiu Demon Kingdom slaughtered their forces and gained hundreds of Purple Mansion Great Demons, Chen Daoxuan ordered Crimson Pupil to lead the survivors into the Human Realm.

• Jiang Chenyuan handed over the Human cultivators’ Vital Energy Essence, including the hidden stores Ji Yanxiang revealed, and led more than five thousand cultivators through the Space Gate; Chen Fusheng followed after advancing to the Purple Mansion stage.

• Chen Daoxuan observed that Qingqiu Demon Kingdom had gained more than four hundred Purple Mansion Great Demons and ordered Crimson Pupil Great Demon to lead the force through the Two Realms Gateway into the Human Realm.

Crimson Pupil led the Qingqiu demons into the Human Realm, where Chen Daoxuan sensed Chaos Qi forming in a vast canyon that appeared to have been cleaved through the world. At the Human cultivator camp, Chi Yao learned how few Earth Realm cultivators had advanced to Purple Mansion, while Blood Prison learned that Crimson Pupil’s Small Tower had killed his brother and began plotting to use that knowledge.

• Crimson Pupil led the Qingqiu demons along the edge of the Great Canyon, and Chen Daoxuan sensed that its depths were slowly undergoing Guixu and producing Chaos Qi.

• Blood Prison questioned the survivor about Xue Qi’s final warning and learned that Crimson Pupil’s Small Tower had pinned Xue Qi down, prompting Blood Prison to devise a plan.

Chen Daoxuan absorbed thousands of World Origin Beads, causing the Golden Scripture to produce so much Comprehension Star Dust that he compressed it into a growing Dark Red Planet. Meanwhile, Crimson Pupil joined forces with Chi Ling at the Realm Demon Camp, creating a powerful Qingqiu force that alarmed the Blood Prison Demon King.

• Chen Daoxuan told Crimson Pupil to stir up the Human Realm rather than seek cooperation directly with human cultivators.
• Chen Daoxuan absorbed the Chaos Qi from 7,846 World Origin Beads, and the Golden Scripture released an overwhelming amount of Comprehension Star Dust.
• Chen Daoxuan forced thirty-one specks of Comprehension Star Dust together, forming an invisible sphere that attracted the remaining dust and became a Dark Red Planet.
• Crimson Pupil met Chi Ling at the Realm Demon Camp, and the two leaders merged their fox demon forces.
• Blood Prison Demon King watched the combined Qingqiu forces arrive and judged that neither the Shituo Demon Kingdom nor the Great Yuan Demon Kingdom could face them alone.

Crimson Pupil met Chi Ling at a banquet, agreed to let her lead the Qingqiu Demon Kingdom, and pledged to help offer the Great Dao laws to the Old Ancestor. After Chen Daoxuan explained his strategy, he revealed that his Primordial Enlightenment Scripture seemed to have broken through to the third layer.

• Chi Ling told Crimson Pupil that Chi Yao had suppressed the Blood Prison Demon King and Demon King Qinghe, convincing him not to underestimate the Human cultivators.
• Chi Ling asked to remain leader of the Qingqiu Demon Kingdom to preserve cooperation among the Three Great Demon Kingdoms, and Crimson Pupil readily agreed.
• Chen Daoxuan instructed Crimson Pupil to agree to Chi Ling's plan to offer the Great Dao laws to the Old Ancestor, and Crimson Pupil pledged to do so.
• Chi Ling arranged for Crimson Pupil to stay in a cave mansion overlooking the Human cultivator camp and promised to notify him when the attack was planned.
• Chen Daoxuan explained that Crimson Pupil needed to retain his followers and strength as bargaining chips, then said his Primordial Enlightenment Scripture seemed to have reached the third layer.

Chen Daoxuan discovered Dao Derivation, the third function of the third layer of the Primordial Enlightenment Scripture, and used it to see the history of the Great Canyon. Meanwhile, Blood Prison Demon King secretly killed the Shituo survivor who knew Crimson Pupil’s small tower secret, while Chen Daoxuan emerged from the tower at the Qingqiu camp and began investigating the canyon’s origins.

• Chen Daoxuan recited the Primordial Enlightenment Scripture, causing the Comprehension Planet to rotate and revealing its new Dao Derivation function.
• Blood Prison Demon King, Demon King Qinghe, and Chi Ling debated attacking the Human cultivators, and Qinghe and Chi Ling persuaded the others to wait until the Heaven Realm opened.
• After leaving the meeting, Blood Prison Demon King questioned the escaped Green Lion Essence about Crimson Pupil’s small tower, then killed and devoured it to keep the secret contained.
• Demon King Qinghe and Chi Ling sensed Blood Prison Demon King’s actions through their Origin Realm Projections, while Chen Daoxuan remained unaware at the Qingqiu camp.
• Chen Daoxuan emerged from the Small Tower in Crimson Pupil’s cave mansion and watched the rotating Comprehension Planet reveal how the Great Canyon had formed.

Chen Daoxuan studied the image of an ancient giant cleaving the heavens, comprehended its spatial laws, and advanced his Space Sword Intent. As Chen Daoxuan assessed his newfound strength, Chen Fusheng arrived at the Human cultivator camp and sought help finding him.

• Zhang Xuanling offered to take Chen Fusheng to meet Fairy Chi Yao so he could seek help locating Chen Daoxuan.

• Zhang Xuanling and Chen Fusheng asked Fairy Chi Yao to help find Chen Daoxuan, but Jiang Chenye confirmed he was absent from the camps and feared he had died.

• Chen Daoxuan decided to use Dao Derivation to work backward from his Sword Intents and derive a Sword Art, rotating the Dark Red Planet in the opposite direction from before.

Chen Daoxuan refined a Sword Art while the Human cultivators and Three Great Demon Kingdoms prepared for the Heavenly Realm portal to open. As both sides flew toward the portal without attacking, Chen Daoxuan wondered what the Blood Prison Demon King was planning.

• Chen Daoxuan used the Primordial Enlightenment Scripture to deduce a Sword Art that combined Space Sword Intent and Silk Rain Sword Intent, eventually surpassing Space Sword Intent's attack-power increase.
• Wei arrived at the Human cultivator camp with news that the Heavenly Realm portal had loosened, and Fairy Chi Yao told the cultivators to seize the Great Dao laws and escape with them.

• Crimson Pupil told Chen Daoxuan that the Heavenly Realm portal had opened and that the Blood Prison Demon King had urged the demons to seize the Great Dao laws before eliminating the Human cultivators.
• Chen Daoxuan questioned the Blood Prison Demon King's intentions as Crimson Pupil joined the Qingqiu ranks and the Human cultivators and Realm Demons flew toward the portal without launching an attack.

Humans and Realm Demons rushed to seize Blood Marrow after the Heavenly Realm portal opened, while Fire Spirit Daoist and Chen Fusheng escaped with a rich haul. When five Great Dao laws emerged, Fairy Chi Yao pursued the thickest one, but Blood Prison Demon King suddenly stole Crimson Pupil’s Small Tower Artifact, revealing a betrayal.

• The Heavenly Realm portal burst open and scattered Blood Marrow, triggering a scramble between Human cultivators and Realm Demons.
• Fire Spirit Daoist and Chen Fusheng seized a large mass of Blood Marrow and escaped from five pursuing Realm Demons, then agreed to split the prize thirty-seventy.
• Five golden threads carrying Great Dao laws emerged from the portal, and Fairy Chi Yao, the two Great Demon Kings, and other experts pursued them.
• Fairy Chi Yao caught up to the thickest thread, but Demon King Qinghe attacked her with his Origin Realm Projection, which her Time Domain repelled.
• Demon King Qinghe called for Blood Prison Demon King’s help, only to see Blood Prison steal the Small Tower Artifact from Crimson Pupil and boast about the treasure.

Chen Daoxuan ambushed Blood Prison Demon King and joined forces with Fairy Chi Yao to defeat the Realm Demons in the True Immortal Origin Realm. He subdued Chi Ling and Crimson Pupil as spirit pets for an undercover mission and received the Space-law Dao Engraving Stone to deliver to Fairy Chi Yao’s martial uncle.

• Blood Prison Demon King tried to refine the Small Tower Artifact, but Chen Daoxuan emerged from it and shattered his head with a combined sword attack.

• Chen Daoxuan saw the Chaos Qi gathering at the portal and rejoiced at the chance to replenish his Comprehension Star Dust.

As the True Immortal Origin Realm descended into Guixu, Chen Daoxuan stayed behind to absorb its Chaos Qi while Fairy Chi Yao watched over him. The Golden Scripture began producing golden Comprehension Star Dust, rapidly expanding the Dark Red Planet in Chen Daoxuan's Sea of Consciousness.

• Chen Daoxuan told Fairy Chi Yao he intended to remain in the True Immortal Origin Realm, then instructed Chen Fusheng to leave with her and the others.
• Chen Fusheng offered Chen Daoxuan his Vital Energy Essence, but Chen Daoxuan returned it and warned him against using more because his Dao realm needed to keep pace with his cultivation.
• As the realm collapsed into Guixu, Fairy Chi Yao used the Small Teleportation Token to send everyone out, but stayed behind with Chen Daoxuan to ensure he did not risk his life.
• Chen Daoxuan asked Fairy Chi Yao to keep his secret, then flew toward the vanished Heavenly Realm portal as the collapsing realm released Chaos Qi.
• The Golden Scripture frantically absorbed the Chaos Qi around Chen Daoxuan and produced golden Comprehension Star Dust, causing the Dark Red Planet in his Sea of Consciousness to grow beyond its previous peak.

Chen Daoxuan failed to contain all the Chaos Qi from the collapsing True Immortal Origin Realm, but learned that major sects held large stocks of World Origin Beads. After returning to the Spirit Boat, he gave Qin Zhan the Space Law tablet and entrusted him with auctioning his other two Great Dao laws, avoiding a direct choice among the competing Nascent Soul True Lords.

• Chen Daoxuan’s Sea of Consciousness filled as he absorbed Chaos Qi, so Fairy Chi Yao dispersed the mist and helped him leave the collapsing realm.
• Fairy Chi Yao told Chen Daoxuan that sects from the Two Realms Abyss War had accumulated many World Origin Beads, but he declined her offer to obtain some for him.
