Chapter Summaries

Nie Yun confronted the Sky-Splitting Beast King after his disguise failed and used the possibility of the Burning Heaven Beast King becoming an Emperor Beast to bargain for an alliance. The Sky-Splitting Beast King agreed to sign a Heavenly Dao contract, unaware that Nie Yun was leading it into a scheme.

• The Sky-Splitting Beast King exposed Nie Yun’s disguise, and Nie Yun admitted he was human and proposed a deal.
• Nie Yun warned that killing him could leave the Sky-Splitting Beast King vulnerable if the Burning Heaven Beast King became an Emperor Beast.
• Nie Yun demanded an equal alliance and the Sky-Splitting Beast King’s help finding a human; the Beast King agreed.
• When Nie Yun called for a Soul Contract, the Sky-Splitting Beast King proposed a Heavenly Dao contract instead, and Nie Yun accepted.
• Nie Yun summoned the Heavenly Dao of the God Realm, and the Sky-Splitting Beast King sensed that something was wrong.

Nie Yun tricked the Sky-Splitting Beast King into believing that Prince Duobo and the other humans had destroyed the Burning Heaven Zone by refining its World Heart and were now after the Sky-Splitting Zone’s World Heart. After explaining the Heavenly Dao Realm’s province-based classifications, he persuaded the Beast King to help search for the humans and seize their Emperor-grade Divine Weapon.

• Nie Yun and the Sky-Splitting Beast King formed a contract, and the Beast King agreed not to harm him.
• The Sky-Splitting Beast King explained that Heavenly Dao Realm strength was measured by the size of one’s inner domain in provinces, placing itself at Two Provinces and the Burning Heaven Beast King at One Province.
• Nie Yun claimed the humans had destroyed the Burning Heaven Zone by refining its World Heart and were now seeking the Sky-Splitting Zone’s World Heart.
• Nie Yun said one of the humans carried an Emperor-grade Divine Weapon, leading the Sky-Splitting Beast King to suspect the Burning Heaven Beast King wanted it for itself.
• Nie Yun persuaded the Sky-Splitting Beast King that finding the World Heart would lead them to the humans, and the Beast King set out to capture them.

Nie Yun and the Sky-Splitting Beast King reached the burial ground of past Sky-Splitting Beast Kings, where Nie Yun sensed the World Heart. They found evidence that the Burning Heaven Beast King and Prince Duobo’s group had come there, leaving their whereabouts and intentions uncertain.

• The Sky-Splitting Beast King explained that each Beast King died within a million years because its battles harmed the Sky-Splitting Zone’s Heavenly Dao, and said it sought the Emperor Realm to escape that fate.
• Nie Yun sensed the World Heart within the misty burial-ground mountains and planned to locate and devour it to reach the Perfect Domain.
• The Sky-Splitting Beast King recognized battle damage in a valley and realized the Burning Heaven Beast King had used an avatar to distract it while its true body secretly came to the burial ground.
• Nie Yun and the Sky-Splitting Beast King found that the battle marks were at least six days old, matching the time Prince Duobo and his companions disappeared.
• Nie Yun pulled a human Perfected Emperor Realm spear from underground, and the Sky-Splitting Beast King accepted that Prince Duobo’s group had also reached the burial ground.

Nie Yun and the Sky-Splitting Beast King entered the Beast King Burial Ground, where the resentment grew weaker despite the increasing number of graves. They encountered the Burning Heaven Beast King, and Nie Yun tried to turn the Sky-Splitting Beast King against it before the two could expose his lies.

• Nie Yun followed the traces of Prince Duobo's battle with the Burning Heaven Beast King toward the Sky-Splitting Beast King Burial Ground.
• Nie Yun and the Sky-Splitting Beast King entered the burial ground and noticed that the resentment diminished as they went deeper.
• The Burning Heaven Beast King appeared and said it had come to kill Nie Yun.
• Nie Yun warned the Sky-Splitting Beast King that the Burning Heaven Beast King had trespassed and might have taken the humans' treasure.
• The Sky-Splitting Beast King demanded that the Burning Heaven Beast King hand over the treasure or face its attack.

Nie Yun escaped the two Beast Kings by teleporting and sowing suspicion about the Emperor-grade Divine Weapon. The kings stopped pursuing him and fought over whether the weapon was in the other's possession, then realized Nie Yun had devoured the Burning Heaven Zone's World Heart.

• The Sky-Splitting Beast King refused to protect Nie Yun, so Nie Yun hinted that the treasure was tied to his deal with it and teleported away.
• The Burning Heaven Beast King tried to chase Nie Yun, but the Sky-Splitting Beast King attacked it and demanded an explanation about the Emperor-grade Divine Weapon.
• The Burning Heaven Beast King and Sky-Splitting Beast King fought, each accusing the other of holding the weapon while the valley and Beast King tombs were wrecked.
• The Sky-Splitting Beast King said Nie Yun had blamed its captured humans for devouring the Burning Heaven Zone's World Heart, but the Burning Heaven Beast King revealed that Nie Yun had done it.
• The Sky-Splitting Beast King recalled its dealings with Nie Yun and realized something was wrong.

Nie Yun raced to find the World Heart before the Sky-Splitting Beast King and Burning Heaven Beast King realized his scheme and caught him. Following traces left by Prince Duobo’s group, he reached a cave where he suspected they were hiding.

• The Sky-Splitting Beast King and Burning Heaven Beast King realized Nie Yun had tricked them into leading him to the World Heart and agreed to hunt him together.
• Nie Yun hurried deeper into the valley, but the World Heart concealed its aura, leaving him unable to sense its location.
• Nie Yun found human tracks and suspected Prince Duobo and his group had entered the mountain range for a hidden purpose.
• Nie Yun followed their sparse tracks and used the Heavenly Secrets Great Dao to uncover clues, while concealing his own trail from the Beast Kings.
• After nearly a day of pursuit, Nie Yun reached a cave and concluded that Prince Duobo and the others were likely inside.

Nie Yun discovered Mo Yan breaking an ancient seal to reach a Heavenly Dao Flower grown from a dead Sky-Splitting Beast King. As Mo Yan prepared to use it to break through to the Heavenly Dao Realm, Nie Yun watched in secret to see whether a human could absorb its power.

• Nie Yun entered the cave and saw Mo Yan, now at the Stealing Heaven Borrowing Life Realm, attacking an ancient seal with his Heart Demon power.
• Nie Yun used the Storage World's spatial power to see a dead Sky-Splitting Beast King inside the sealed room, with a scarlet flower growing atop its head that nearly ensnared him.
• The seal shattered, and Mo Yan rushed in, plucked the flower, and declared that eating the Heavenly Dao Flower would make him a Heavenly Dao expert.
• Nie Yun wondered whether the flower created each Sky-Splitting Beast King and whether a human could safely use its power.
• Mo Yan lifted the flower, produced a Sky-Splitting Beast corpse, and prepared to proceed while Nie Yun watched.

Mo Yan killed his human body and transferred his soul into a Sky-Splitting Beast corpse so he could safely consume the Heavenly Dao Flower and reach the Heavenly Dao Realm. Nie Yun stole the flower before Mo Yan could swallow it, then hurried deeper into the cave to stop Prince Duobo and the others from attempting the same transformation.

• Mo Yan stabbed himself through the heart, destroying his physical body while leaving his soul intact.
• Mo Yan's soul entered the Sky-Splitting Beast corpse, and Nie Yun realized he had changed bodies to make himself compatible with the Heavenly Dao Flower.
• As Mo Yan prepared to swallow the flower, Nie Yun seized it and teleported away with it in his Storage World.
• Mo Yan raged in the cave, trapped in the Sky-Splitting Beast body after losing his chance at the flower.
• Nie Yun continued deeper into the cave to find Prince Duobo and stop him from claiming another Heavenly Dao Flower.

Nie Yun discovered that Prince Duobo had used a Heavenly Dao Flower to become a Heavenly Dao expert by turning into a Sky-Splitting Beast, and learned that Prince Liu Mu had advanced as well. He offered the flower he possessed to Prince Ru Xia and the others, and Ye Tao volunteered to use it.

• Nie Yun found Prince Duobo in the cave after he had consumed a Heavenly Dao Flower and reached the Heavenly Dao Realm.
• Duobo swallowed his corpse and transformed into his former appearance, revealing that his true body had become a Sky-Splitting Beast.
• Prince Liu Mu arrived and confirmed Nie Yun faced two Heavenly Dao Realm enemies, so Nie Yun considered finding flowers for allies instead of using one himself.
• Nie Yun told Prince Ru Xia and the others what the Heavenly Dao Flower required and asked whether any would accept becoming a Sky-Splitting Beast.
• Ye Tao volunteered to use the Heavenly Dao Flower, believing his aptitude would never otherwise let him reach the Heavenly Dao Realm.

Ye Tao accepted the Heavenly Dao Flower and a Sky-Splitting Beast corpse to attempt a breakthrough, while Nie Yun was cornered by two princes and two Beast Kings. He deceived the Beast Kings by claiming his companions had become Heavenly Dao experts, then slipped past the standoff and rushed deeper into the cave to find the World Heart.

• Nie Yun gave Ye Tao a Heavenly Dao Flower and a Sky-Splitting Beast corpse after Ye Tao agreed to risk becoming a Sky-Splitting Beast.
• Prince Liu Mu and Prince Duobo learned that Nie Yun might have taken Mo Yan’s Heavenly Dao Flower and began searching for him.
• Nie Yun teleported away when the princes discovered him, but they quickly closed in as he fled through the cave.
• The Burning Heaven Beast King and the Sky-Splitting Beast King blocked Nie Yun’s path while the two princes pursued him from behind.
• Nie Yun claimed his companions had used Heavenly Dao Flowers and Sky-Splitting Beast corpses to reach the Heavenly Dao Realm, enraging the Sky-Splitting Beast King.
• As Prince Duobo and Prince Liu Mu faced the Beast Kings, Nie Yun teleported past them and charged deeper into the cave to find the World Heart.

Nie Yun fled the four Heavenly Dao experts, broke seals with the Ice Blade to collect more than a dozen Heavenly Dao Flowers, and discovered a black hole that might lead to the Sky-Splitting Zone’s World Heart. The Sky-Splitting Beast King, the Burning Heaven Beast King, Prince Duobo, and Prince Liu Mu caught up as he prepared to investigate it.

• Prince Duobo and Prince Liu Mu chased Nie Yun, but the two Beast Kings attacked them and started a fight.
• Nie Yun used the Ice Blade and Fusion Dao to break seals and collect more than a dozen Heavenly Dao Flowers.
• Nie Yun reasoned that the flowers came from Sky-Splitting Beasts that had reached the Heavenly Dao Realm on their own, and realized he had taken the clan’s entire supply.
• Nie Yun followed a growing vortex of resentment to a deep black hole that he identified as a possible entrance to the World Heart.
• The Sky-Splitting Beast King, the Burning Heaven Beast King, Prince Duobo, and Prince Liu Mu joined forces and caught up with Nie Yun.

Nie Yun was cornered by Prince Duobo, Prince Liu Mu, and the Burning Heaven Beast King while trying to reach the black hole and find the World Heart. After Ye Tao helped him repel an attack, Nie Yun withdrew Ye Tao and protected himself inside the Yan Huang Hall.

• Nie Yun taunted the princes and Beast Kings, making the Sky-Splitting Beast King doubt that he had stolen the Heavenly Dao Flowers.
• Prince Duobo attacked Nie Yun as he tried to Teleport into the black hole, but the Sky-Splitting Beast King and Prince Liu Mu solidified space and stopped him.
• Nie Yun used the Ice Blade to shatter the solidified space and flee toward the black hole.
• Prince Duobo's attack pursued Nie Yun, so he summoned Ye Tao, who blocked it with a punch.
• Prince Liu Mu and the Burning Heaven Beast joined Prince Duobo in attacking Ye Tao, and Nie Yun returned Ye Tao to the Storage World.
• Nie Yun summoned the Yan Huang Hall and sheltered himself inside it.

Nie Yun used Yan Huang Hall to break free of the Sky-Splitting Beast King, the Burning Heaven Beast King, and Prince Liu Mu, then tried to enter the Sky-Splitting Zone’s World Heart. Prince Duobo stopped him with a Heavenly Dao-grade great saber, whose attacks could not pierce the hall but threatened to overwhelm Nie Yun with their force.

• The Sky-Splitting Beast King broke the non-aggression pact and demanded that Nie Yun hand over Yan Huang Hall, while the Burning Heaven Beast King and Prince Liu Mu joined the attack.
• The Burning Heaven Beast King engaged Ye Tao as Prince Duobo recognized Yan Huang Hall as Great Emperor Yan Huang’s Emperor-grade Divine Weapon.
• Nie Yun broke through the three Heavenly Dao Realm experts’ restraint and sent Yan Huang Hall toward the Sky-Splitting Zone’s World Heart.
• Prince Duobo warned the others that Nie Yun might devour the World Heart, and the Burning Heaven Beast King caught Yan Huang Hall before it could descend.
• Nie Yun increased Yan Huang Hall’s force and injured the Burning Heaven Beast King, but Prince Duobo drew a Heavenly Dao-grade great saber and struck the hall.
• The saber could not damage Yan Huang Hall, but its impacts shook the interior and threatened to overwhelm Nie Yun and destroy the medicinal garden.

Nie Yun struggled to reach the World Heart while four Heavenly Dao powerhouses kept Yan Huang Hall pinned down. He sent Prince Ru Xia and Yun Rou to help, then sent an avatar armed with powerful treasures to draw the enemies away while his true body hid as a speck of dust on it.

• Nie Yun accelerated time so Prince Ru Xia and Yun Rou could use Heavenly Dao Flowers and Sky-Splitting Beast corpses to break through to the Heavenly Dao.
• Nie Yun sent Prince Ru Xia to challenge the Sky-Splitting Beast King and Yun Rou to aid Ye Tao, but both were intercepted while Ye Tao was forced onto the defensive.
• Nie Yun realized he could secretly send his true body toward the World Heart while an avatar distracted the four enemies, though doing so meant abandoning Yan Huang Hall.
• Nie Yun equipped his avatar with the Exquisite Pearl Pagoda, Ice Blade, and five strands of Fusion Qi, then hid his true body as a speck of dust on the avatar.
• Nie Yun’s avatar charged out of Yan Huang Hall and challenged Duo Bo, Liu Mu, Burning Heaven, and Sky-Splitting.

Nie Yun used his clone to hold off Prince Duobo while he reached the World Heart and risked having his consciousness assimilated to refine it. After the Storage World devoured the World Heart and advanced to level ten, Nie Yun achieved the Perfect Domain and rose to the Imperial Realm.

• Nie Yun's clone used the Ice Blade and Exquisite Pearl Pagoda to block Prince Duobo while Nie Yun's original body slipped into the black hole.
• Nie Yun found that the World Heart was consuming the resentment of dead Sky-Splitting Beast Kings, treating them as nourishment to grow the Sky-Splitting World.
• Nie Yun confronted the World Heart by opening his consciousness, allowing himself to be assimilated so he could refine it from within.
• Nie Yun recovered his memories and summoned the Storage World, which devoured the World Heart's will.
• The Storage World advanced from level eight to level ten, and its Three Thousand Great Daos fused perfectly.
• Nie Yun formed a Perfect Domain and broke through from the Perfected King Realm to the Imperial Realm.

Nie Yun reached the Emperor Realm and discovered that advancing required vastly more energy than he had expected. After testing his treasures and Heavenly Dao Flowers, he left to check on Ye Tao and the others as the Myriad Realms Cave Heaven neared its opening.

• Nie Yun reached the Emperor Realm and found that his fused inner world had become a Level Ten world the size of one God Realm province.
• Nie Yun used his accumulated treasures, but they expanded his inner world by less than one ten-thousandth of the amount needed to advance to the middle Emperor Realm.
• Nie Yun consumed one Heavenly Dao Flower, which expanded his inner world by one-tenth, and chose to save the remaining ten for his companions.
• Nie Yun realized that nearly twenty days had passed while he devoured the World Heart and worried about Ye Tao and the others.
• Nie Yun activated the Wind God Art and flew upward to check the situation as the Myriad Realms Cave Heaven neared its opening.

Nie Yun returned to Yan Huang Hall after breaking through to the Emperor Realm, while four Heavenly Dao Realm experts failed to breach its defenses. Mo Yan arrived as a fifth attacker and proposed sacrificing Yan Huang Hall to the God Realm’s Heavenly Dao before the Myriad Realms Cave Heaven reopened.

• Nie Yun used the power of his Perfect Domain to reach Yan Huang Hall, where the Four Great Kings were attacking its protective Formation.
• Duo Bo and Liu Mu complained that they could not break Yan Huang Hall or kill Nie Yun before the Myriad Realms Cave Heaven reopened.
• Mo Yan appeared and revealed that he had found another Heavenly Dao Flower and reached the Heavenly Dao Realm.
• Mo Yan offered to join the others in killing Nie Yun, but Liu Mu and Duobo warned that Yan Huang Hall and Nie Yun’s Divine Weapons made the task difficult.
• Mo Yan proposed sacrificing Yan Huang Hall to the Heavenly Dao of the God Realm, and the Sky-Splitting Beast King and Burning Heaven Beast King considered his plan.

The five Heavenly Dao experts sealed Yan Huang Hall and began offering it to the Heavenly Dao, threatening to destroy it and trap everyone inside. Nie Yun revealed his true body and used his Heavenly Dao-level combat power to break their seals and make Yan Huang Hall disappear.

• Prince Duobo, Prince Liu Mu, Mo Yan, the Burning Heaven Beast King, and the Sky-Splitting Beast King sealed Yan Huang Hall and offered it as a sacrifice to the Heavenly Dao.
• Prince Ru Xia explained that the Heavenly Dao could accept Yan Huang Hall as spoils of war, and Nie Yun's weakened clone admitted he could not move it.
• Nie Yun appeared inside the hall and revealed that the person who had fought alongside them was his clone.
• Nie Yun used his strength to increase his control over Yan Huang Hall and tear apart the five experts' seals.
• Nie Yun shrank Yan Huang Hall and made it vanish before Prince Duobo and the others.

Nie Yun revealed that he had reached the Heavenly Dao Realm without refining the Heavenly Dao Flower, then used his Storage World to subdue the Sky-Splitting Beast King. The Beast King agreed to become Nie Yun’s Demon Pet, while Mo Yan, Prince Duobo, and the others remained trapped in the confrontation.

• Nie Yun emerged with Ru Xia and the others, denied refining the Heavenly Dao Flower, and withdrew Yan Huang Hall so the Heavenly Dao Will left and the sacrifice failed.
• Mo Yan argued that his group outnumbered Nie Yun’s and could force him to bring out Yan Huang Hall for the sacrifice.
• Nie Yun reminded the Sky-Splitting Beast King of their non-aggression contract and revealed that the earlier sacrifice had been made to his own Domain.
• The Sky-Splitting Beast King tried to break free of Nie Yun’s Domain, but its soul was crushed and it fell to its knees.
• Nie Yun demanded that the Sky-Splitting Beast King submit as his Demon Pet or die, and the Beast King agreed.

Nie Yun used Yan Huang Hall and the Ice Blade to trap and defeat Prince Duobo and his allies after the Sky-Splitting Beast King surrendered to him. He killed Duobo, Mo Yan, and Liu Mu, then forced the Burning Heaven Beast King to choose between submission and death.

• The Sky-Splitting Beast King became Nie Yun’s Demon Pet, frightening the Burning Heaven Beast King and angering Mo Yan and the others.
• Prince Duobo and his allies tried to flee, but Nie Yun sealed the area with Yan Huang Hall.
• Prince Duobo attacked Nie Yun with his Heavenly Dao Divine Weapon saber, but the Ice Blade split it in two and killed him.
• Nie Yun stored Prince Duobo’s corpse in his Storage World, detonated it, and discovered that absorbing a Heavenly Dao expert could expand the Storage World and strengthen him.
• Nie Yun killed Mo Yan and Liu Mu after rejecting Mo Yan’s threat of retaliation from the Heart Demon Great Emperor.
