Chapter Summaries

The Little Beast Emperor, Ghost Chariot, Houtu, and Daoist Tongtian volunteered to confront the Four Zhuxian Swords, and Lin Tian equipped them with Chaos Supreme Treasures and a plan to strike the formation’s weaknesses. As they launched their attacks, Nuwa regretted hesitating and blamed Fuxi for holding back her progress.

• The Little Beast Emperor, Ghost Chariot, Houtu, and Daoist Tongtian stepped forward to face the Four Zhuxian Swords on All-Heaven Divine Peak.
• Lin Tian instructed the four to attack with the laws of time, fate, dimension, and space, promising to block the swords’ killing strikes and lead them to safety.
• The other Spirit Vine School powerhouses realized they had hesitated, while Nuwa regretted missing the chance and resented her elder brother Fuxi.
• Lin Tian gave Ghost Chariot the Heaven-Measuring Ruler, the Little Beast Emperor the Chaos Pearl, Houtu the Netherworld Underworld, and Daoist Tongtian Biyou Palace.
• The four charged the sword formation, and their attacks made time, history, space, dimensions, karma, and the laws of the Three Thousand Great Daos convulse.

Luo Hou’s Four Zhuxian Swords erased the Spirit Vine Lineage across past, present, and future but could not penetrate the dimension protecting Lin Tian. Luo Hou discovered that the Little Beast Emperor had completed the World-Destroying Millstone with the Chaos Pearl, blocking the formation’s first strike.

• The Four Zhuxian Swords swept through countless planes and erased the Spirit Vine Lineage, yet their killing power stalled before Lin Tian’s unfathomable dimension.
• The Power Demon God questioned whether Lin Tian had attained the other shore, and Luo Hou warned him that his wavering emotions could become a flaw in the formation.

• The Chaos Pearl filled the missing part of the World-Destroying Millstone above the Little Beast Emperor and formed a stable world-destroying radiance.
• The completed millstone and Chaos Pearl stopped the Executioner Immortal Sword’s torrent outright.

Ghost Chariot and Little Beast Emperor were overwhelmed by the Four Zhuxian Swords, and Houtu summoned the Netherworld Underworld to block the Immortal-Piercing Sword. The sword destroyed the Netherworld Underworld, while Lin Tian protected Jiubao and Zhen Yuanzi inside his three hundred and sixty myriad heavens worlds.

• Ghost Chariot used the Heaven-Measuring Ruler to resist the Immortal-Piercing Sword, but six of his nine heads lost vitality.
• Houtu summoned the Netherworld Underworld and merged with it to shield Ghost Chariot and Little Beast Emperor.

• Lin Tian brought Jiubao and Zhen Yuanzi into his three hundred and sixty myriad heavens worlds.
• Zhen Yuanzi used spiritual treasures and life energy to nourish the Ginseng Fruit Spiritual Root that housed his true body.

Jiubao rebuked Zhen Yuanzi for his despair, then fought him after he attacked her in Lin Tian’s Myriad Heavens World. Meanwhile, Lin Tian searched for an escape from the Executioner Immortal Sword Formation as he realized the danger to himself and his four Quasi-Saint allies.

• Zhen Yuanzi despaired over the collapsing All-Heaven Divine Peak and lamented that Lin Tian had not joined forces with Red Cloud and Abbess Seven Absolutes.
• Jiubao condemned Zhen Yuanzi’s hesitation and said he fell short of Tongtian.
• Angered by Jiubao’s words, Zhen Yuanzi sent Nine Wilds Astral Wind and Innate Mystic Fire at her.
• Jiubao blocked the attack with a white lotus and countered with sword light that struck at Zhen Yuanzi’s body, True Spirit, and Sea of Consciousness.
• Zhen Yuanzi dodged and blocked Jiubao’s sword attacks while Lin Tian’s divine sense clones searched for an escape from the Four Zhuxian Swords’ formation.
• Lin Tian recognized the danger of being trapped in the formation as his four Quasi-Saint allies faced its overwhelming sword light.

The Four Zhuxian Swords pierced Houtu and killed Daoist Tongtian as Lin Tian tried to shield All-Heaven Divine Peak. Devouring the sword light triggered the system and offered Lin Tian a way to enter other Primordial World Planes as Devil Ancestor Luo Hou, forcing him to choose between escape and certain destruction.

• The Four Zhuxian Swords pierced Houtu's Netherworld Underworld and wounded her True Spirit, making her spit golden Saint's Blood.
• Daoist Tongtian watched the merged sword light approach without drawing his sword, believing its swordsmanship too crude to merit a response.
• The sword light struck Tongtian and dissolved him into droplets of golden Saint's Blood, and he understood the sword intent only as he died.
• Lin Tian sent countless vines from his Celebratory Cloud to wrap around the sword light threatening All-Heaven Divine Peak.
• The system announced that Lin Tian had devoured the sword light, gained billions of Evolution Points, and could use a Teleportation Gate to travel to Primordial World Planes dominated by Devil Ancestor Luo Hou's Species Form.
• Lin Tian realized he had to accept the system's offer or be destroyed along with everything he had built.

Lin Tian entered a Primordial World where Devil Ancestor Luo Hou lay unconscious after being gravely wounded by the leaders of the Primordial Three Clans. He arrived as six of Luo Hou’s divine sense clones disputed which one would take over Luo Hou’s body.

Lin Tian awakened in Devil Ancestor Luo Hou’s body after fusing with Luo Hou’s fading true spirit, but Mount Sumeru’s rules left him able to wield only Golden Immortal-level power.

• Lin Tian recalled that Little Beast Emperor, Ghost Chariot, Houtu, and Daoist Tongtian had been killed by the four sword lights of the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

Luo Hou’s true spirit awakened on Mount Sumeru less than ten thousand years after the Primordial Three Clans ambushed him, alarming First Qilin and Ancestral Dragon. The chapter left the clans fearing that Luo Hou would reunite the Devil Army and intervene in the brewing calamity.

Hongjun’s knowledge of the world’s future failed to calm him when he learned Luo Hou had awakened, destabilizing his Dao heart and threatening his rise to sainthood. He contacted Ancestral Dragon during the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, while Ancestral Dragon reflected on the surprise attack he had planned against First Qilin and Shi Feng.

• Lin Tian realized the Primordial Three Clans had breached Mount Sumeru’s defenses and wounded Luo Hou’s True Spirit because a turncoat within the Devil Race had guided them.

Lin Tian used Alaya Consciousness to observe Devil Moon after Jidu and his allies detained her in the sealed Demon Marshal Hall. Devil Moon declared that Luo Hou had truly awakened and accused the gathered leaders of betraying him, leaving them awaiting his judgment.

• Luo Hou restrained his anger after learning that Jidu, Heaven-Crusher Daoist, and the Four Heavenly Kings had taken Devil Moon, since he did not know which devils were traitors.
