Chapter Summaries

Hun Tiandi confronted Amon with his theory that Amon sought to devour the Firmament Ranking and that Heavenly Evil God had once accepted his seal to merge with the Great Thousand World's origin. Their exchange ended with Hun Tiandi probing whether Amon even had a single true Main Body.

• Hun Tiandi left Mu Chen's baptism under a Spirit Shadow's supervision and returned to White Jade Square, where he met Amon.
• Hun Tiandi theorized that Amon wanted to devour the Firmament Ranking and, like Heavenly Evil God, came from a powerful plane outside the Great Thousand World.
• Hun Tiandi argued that Heavenly Evil God had willingly accepted the seal to gain the world's recognition, and that his interaction with the Great Thousand World's origin had made Demonic Qi part of its nature.
• Hun Tiandi cited the Outer Evil Clan's long delay in rescuing Heavenly Evil God as evidence that the sealing had been voluntary and unplanned.
• Amon suggested Hun Tiandi understood Heavenly Evil God because he thought like him, and Hun Tiandi countered that Amon's clansmen might not count as separate clansmen at all.
• Hun Tiandi wondered whether Amon's freely transferable or identical wills meant that more than one Amon could be the Main Body.

Hun Tiandi deduced that Amon was a distributed race of Spirit Worms and that his plan relied on Xiao Yan, Mu Chen, or Hun Tiandi reaching the Dominator Realm first. Hun Tiandi resolved to seize that moment to strike, though he feared Amon might ascend first and threaten the Great Thousand World.

• Hun Tiandi recalled how he had tried to lead Hun Yufeng toward the idea that Amon’s Sovereign Celestial Body was his complete Main Body.

• Hun Tiandi speculated that Amon was a vast racial life-form whose many avatars could be nearly impossible to eradicate.
• Hun Tiandi proposed that Amon planned to use Xiao Yan, Mu Chen, or himself to gain access to the Firmament Ranking, and Amon admitted he had once considered controlling the Martial Ancestor.
• Hun Tiandi decided that his best chance was to reach the Dominator Realm first and use the world’s power to destroy Amon’s primary avatars before Amon could ascend.
• Hun Tiandi doubted that the Martial Ancestor or the Heavenly Evil God would save them, since either could be prepared for or become another threat.

Amon warned Hun Tiandi that the Outer Evil Clan might target him, while Hun Tiandi questioned Amon’s motives and struggled to make sense of his erratic plans. In Heart Devil City, the Heart Heavenly Devil Emperor began fusing with the weakened Nine-Corpse Heavenly Devil Emperor as part of a scheme to create another Amon.
