Chapter Summaries

Chu Mo and the Three Sects launched a coordinated assault on Canghan’s forces, while Chu Mo secretly used the Netherworld Court to flood the Outer Sea with Yellow Springs. As Ming Lei rushed to stop the flooding, the newly appointed Dragon Kings and Dragon Lords blocked his way with identical smiles.

• Heaven's Will Sect, Great Evolution, and the Union completed their encirclement of Canghan’s forces, and Chu Mo’s allies attacked across the battlefield.
• Yuanting charged at Chu Mo, who summoned the Netherworld Court and took Yuanting and three dragons inside, where they revealed their alliance with him.
• Chu Mo sent the Yellow Springs through Dragonkind’s Water Eyes, turning part of the Outer Sea murky yellow.
• Ming Lei spotted the Yellow Springs entering the Outer Sea and hurried to seal the Water Eyes.
• Wanlan and the other newly appointed Dragon Kings, joined by the Dragon Lords, blocked Ming Lei and urged him to stay.

Ming Lei was captured and suppressed by the eerily unified dragons, while Chu Mo watched the Yellow Springs flood the Outer Sea. As the Dragon Kings rushed back to defend it, Azure Depths used the Water Eyes to erode Hung Abyss, and a Dragon King fell as a vast region vanished into Emptiness.

• Ming Lei fought Wanlan and the other dragons, but they overwhelmed him and sealed him inside the Crystal Palace.
• Wanlan emerged with a strange pearl containing Ming Lei, then led the dragons toward the Water Eyes to defend the Outer Sea while their lords were away.
• Chu Mo watched the Yellow Springs pour through the Water Eyes into the Outer Sea as Canghan battled the Three Sects.
• Canghan sensed the Outer Sea was under attack, broke through the Three Sects' blockade with eight other Dragon Kings, and rushed back.
• Azure Depths drove the Eastern Sea through the reinforced Water Eyes, eroding Hung Abyss in reverse.
• A Dragon King surrounded by the Three Sects lost his cultivation and dissolved into dust, leaving nearly a million li of the Outer Sea as Emptiness.

Chu Mo and Azure Depths joined forces to extend their Great Daos into the Outer Sea, but the Dragon Emperor's Divine Avatar killed them before Tai Zhen Miaoyuan rewrote the worldline to spare Azure Depths. Chu Mo awoke at level 76 in the Tribulation Deliverance Sect, uncertain what had happened.

• Azure Depths seized a Dragon King's rank and used the chaos to strip away the Outer Sea's waters while Chu Mo drove the Yellow Springs into the abyss.
• Chu Mo connected the Netherworld Great Dao to the Outer Sea, reaching level 76 and strengthening the Netherworld.
• The Dragon Emperor's Divine Avatar transported Chu Mo and Azure Depths into the Outer Sea and killed them with a strike of profound thunder.
• Chu Mo awakened in an Other-Self Aspect and realized the Dragon Emperor's thunder might strike again if he returned anew.
• The world froze and reversed until Tai Zhen Miaoyuan changed the worldline, declaring that Azure Depths Si Xuan could not die yet.
• Chu Mo sat in the Luo Feng True Realm above the Great Void at the Tribulation Deliverance Sect, still at level 76 and bewildered.

• Chu Mo found himself back in the Tribulation Deliverance Sect with two conflicting sets of memories, while everyone else remembered that he had seized three Profound Thunder ranks for the sect.
• Chu Mo suspected the Harmony Truth Ancestral Vein had rewritten the past and decided to act as though the favorable version of events was true.

• Chu Mo summoned Yichu and offered to fulfill his promise to send him into Reincarnation, and Yichu accepted the risks of pursuing another life.

Chu Mo reincarnated Yichu and ordered dragon souls returned to life in the Outer Sea, then discovered Zhi Su had created an imitation Netherworld Court. Zhi Su tried to appoint Chu Mo as its Lord of the Netherworld.

• Chu Mo stripped away Yichu's cultivation, sent him into reincarnation with his memories intact, and added a trace of origin essence to his true spirit.

• Chu Mo sensed a connected presence and used the All Beings Aspect to seize an Other-Self Aspect inside Zhi Su's imitation Netherworld Court.
• Zhi Su judged his imitation reincarnation inadequate and asked Chu Mo, mistaken for a gathered soul, to become its Lord of the Netherworld.

Zhi Su appointed a false lord of the Netherworld, while Chu Mo used Chen Yuan’s successful cultivation to understand how teaching the Dao could repay his karmic debt to Heaven’s Will. He decided to spread more Netherworld laws through the Scripture Repository, confident that those who learned or resembled him would ultimately become part of him.

• Zhi Su transformed Chu Mo’s ghostly double into the lord of the false Netherworld and instructed him to receive cultivators entering the Netherworld Court.
• Chu Mo realized Zhi Su’s imitation could draw the All Beings Aspect’s attention, and considered using his senior brother as a decoy while reviewing his cultivation and followers.

• Chu Mo concluded that teaching others could transfer that debt and decided to place the Six Heavens of Luofeng breakdown in the Scripture Repository as the Tai Sha Liang Shi Law took shape.

Canghan learned that dragon births remained normal after Du You established the Netherworld, but ordered every newborn examined and executed if it showed any abnormality.

He headed for the Azure Mist Temple to investigate its founder, just as the temple’s leaders ordered his death if he failed to advance within a month and an immense pressure descended.

• Chu Mo searched his memories and learned the Gravekeepers’ five cultivation realms and the danger posed by the Ferocious Ghost inside him.

• A frightened round-faced youth warned Ning Chu that Tribulation Deliverance might be a demonic sect, so Ning Chu moved away and went to register.
• As Ning Chu approached Xiao Lingchen to register, a black-robed young man suddenly appeared beside the deacon disciple.

Ning Chu joined Tribulation Deliverance Sect and began a new life under Chu Mo’s guidance, while Chu Mo’s control over Eternal Peace City faced its first unexpected test.

• Blue Bird told Li Daoyuan that it had seen He Qian, Liu Yun, and Xiao Jing at Ghost-Suppressing Pass, though Li Daoyuan had killed them three thousand years earlier.
• Li Daoyuan saw the three appear before him in the Spirit Realm and questioned how they could have returned from the dead.
• Li Daoyuan realized the figures were using his perception to make falsehood seem real, but they trapped him and Netherland's Heavenly Dao inside an Illusory Realm Grand Array.
• Li Daoyuan suspected the three were Fuli Cultivators and wondered how Fuli Heaven had found his location.

Li Daoyuan fought Fairy He and the other two, but they reclaimed their treasures and overwhelmed him with help from the blue bird, which betrayed him. Chu Mo then revealed himself as a sixth-realm Dao Venerable, leaving Li Daoyuan stunned.
