Chapter Summaries

Ye Han discovered that the ghost creatures in the passage were former Buddhist cultivators whose sacred aura concealed their evil nature, and that his ancient human race inheritance could counter it. After he shattered a fake Myriad-Image Vajra Pestle and pressed the Buddhist ghost creature with his cudgel, a golden pagoda appeared above him as danger gathered.

• Ye Han's Demon-Extinguishing Divine Thunder struck a Buddhist cultivator, revealing him as a demonic ghost creature that could repel the lightning.

• Ye Han reached out with a hand of Golden Light Runes and ancient human inheritance power to seize the escaping rune.

Ye Han captured a chubby infant-like Buddhist shadow, but its strike on a wooden fish transformed the passage into a ruined, ancient place and left Ye Han unable to contact his companions. As he sent Mechanism Puppets ahead, he realized something about the passage’s strange transformation.

• Ye Han seized the Buddhist shadow with a Golden Light Giant Hand and discovered it looked like a chubby infant wearing Buddhist Beads.
• The infant cursed Ye Han, produced a wooden fish and mallet, and struck the fish, unleashing visions of Buddhas and collapsing Buddhist worlds.

• Ye Han ruled out time reversal and an ordinary illusion, failed to contact Fairy Water Dew, Fairy Fire Spirit, and Hei Lin, and sent Mechanism Puppets ahead.
• Ye Han followed the puppets and realized that the passage’s transformation had revealed something he had overlooked.

• The chubby infant escaped through space despite Ye Han releasing the Ghost Skull Mirror, and Ye Han vowed to find him.

• Ye Han attacked the chubby infant with a golden fist blast, forcing it to flee through spatial ripples.

• Ye Han walked hundreds of li through the passage, finding only statues and damaged Buddha Murals as he wondered whether the Five-Finger Mountain hand concealed a Reincarnation Mystic Treasure.
• A succession of drumbeats sounded in the distance, drawing Ye Han's attention.

Ye Han encountered a strange procession of undead Buddha cultivators and fought them with demon-breaking divine thunder and the Myriad-Image Vajra Pestle. As his golden giant hand attacked the drummers, the female Buddha cultivator revealed a terrifying power.

• The female Buddha cultivator roared, summoned a gray giant hand and Buddhist Beads bearing a white lotus phantom, and presented Ye Han with a horrifying sight.

• Ye Han protected himself with divine-soul power and cleaved through the beam, sending a sword-ray toward the Eight-Clawed Spider Skull's head.

Ye Han defeated an eight-legged skeletal spider and found a Buddhist Bead infused with evil qi, then continued deeper into the passage. Elsewhere, Fairy Fire Spirit fought her way forward as the chubby infant considered releasing another creature.

• Ye Han severed the skeletal spider’s joints and pierced its spine, destroying it and leaving behind a black-aura Buddhist Bead.

• Ye Han walked through a corridor of Buddha Statues and murals, wondered if he had circled back, then recognized someone ahead.

Ye Han sensed Fairy Ningyu and Fairy Jade Orchid nearby through their life soul tokens and fought through the Buddha statues to reach a sealed metal gate.

• Ye Han felt the life soul auras of Fairy Ningyu and Fairy Jade Orchid stirring and hurried toward them, leaving the other life soul tokens unchanged.
• Ye Han smashed through the golden Buddha statues and two enormous Vajra Buddhas that attacked him along the passage.
• Ye Han reached a massive metal gate and sensed that Fairy Ningyu and Fairy Jade Orchid were behind it.
• Ye Han tested the gate with his fists, but its restrictions absorbed his attacks without damage.
• Ye Han spotted eighteen recesses in the hand of a Buddha statue on the gate and sent eighteen Buddhist beads toward them.

Ye Han opened the massive Metal Gate and fought off waves of Buddha figures whose Buddhist aura was fused with demonic evil qi. He sensed Fairy Ningyu and Fairy Jade Orchid nearby, then discovered that some Buddha Statues in the Great Hall were still forming with the faces of cultivators.

• Ye Han watched the eighteen Buddhist Beads activate the Metal Gate, unleashing Buddha light and a terrifying demonic aura as it rose.
• Ye Han used his gang qi, Buddha light, and Absolute Yin Treasure Shield to withstand the storm of golden beams from the charging Buddha shadows.

• Ye Han sensed the golden swastika rune in his Heaven-Devouring Cauldron trembling and searched for Fairy Ningyu and Fairy Jade Orchid through their Life Soul Tokens.
• Ye Han looked toward the upper Great Hall and saw Buddha Statues still taking shape with the faces of cultivators.

Ye Han destroyed the Buddha Statues and silhouettes attacking him in the Great Hall, only to awaken an enormous Buddha face that summoned a powerful Buddha War General. The General’s attack stopped just before reaching Ye Han, and the General began to twist and break apart.

• Ye Han realized the Buddha Statues overhead held trapped Cultivators and wondered whether Fairy Ningyu and Fairy Jade Orchid were among them.
• The ground statues and overhead Buddha silhouettes attacked Ye Han, who fought back with twelve Vajra Arms and shattered them in fewer than fifteen breaths.
• The radiance from the destroyed statues streamed into the Buddhas overhead, which shifted to reveal an enormous face with one black eye and one white eye.
• The Buddha face summoned a black-and-white-flamed Buddha War General, who condemned Ye Han and attacked him with a spear that sealed the space.
• The Buddha War General’s charge and spear thrust abruptly stopped, and he cried out in terror as his body began twisting and breaking apart.

Ye Han reunited with Fairy Ningyu and Fairy Jade Orchid after their formation brought down the Buddha War General and the enormous Buddha face. The reunion was cut short when Fairy Jade Orchid’s lifespan heavenly tribulation began gathering overhead.

• The Buddha War General and the enormous Buddha face cracked apart and collapsed before Ye Han could attack.
• Ye Han spotted unconscious cultivators among the falling rubble and recognized Fairy Ningyu and Fairy Jade Orchid, who had survived inside a formation of Buddhist Beads.

• Fairy Jade Orchid sensed her lifespan heavenly tribulation beginning as blood-red lightning clouds gathered above the shattered hall.

Ye Han rescued Fairy Jade Orchid and Fairy Ningyu from a formation that was converting cultivators into Buddhist puppets, and the three reunited and shared news of their companions. The women recovered in seclusion while Ye Han considered the Reincarnation Battlefield’s hidden purpose.

• Fairy Jade Orchid and Fairy Ningyu told Ye Han that they, Azure Phoenix Fairy, and Red Dragon Girl had been captured by Skyflying Race cultivators, while White Snow had saved Han Yuwan.
• Ye Han left the two fairies to meditate and recover after their reunion and dual cultivation.
• Ye Han found that the unconscious cultivators had been converted into Buddhist puppets and stored their bodies in the heaven-devouring cauldron space.
• Fairy Jade Orchid and Fairy Ningyu explained that her formation expertise had helped them resist conversion until Ye Han’s arrival let them break free.
• Ye Han concluded that the Buddhist Conversion Method was connected to the secret behind the Reincarnation Battlefield’s reincarnation.

Ye Han concluded that the Reincarnation Battlefield was a conspiracy that fed on cultivators, and he considered how the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron could help him survive and escape while he searched for Azure Phoenix Fairy and Red Dragon Girl. He found that the Reincarnation Fruit was nearing maturity, while the Water Spirit Coffin’s aura remained abundant and more powerful than he had expected.

• Ye Han inferred that outsiders were being converted into Buddhist power to strengthen the Reincarnation Battlefield and realized its creators might target him if he escaped.
• Ye Han focused on surviving and finding Azure Phoenix Fairy and Red Dragon Girl, knowing that continued conversion would turn them into Buddha Statues and eventually Buddha spirits.
• Ye Han grew more confident as he understood the battlefield’s dangers and recognized the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron’s role in replenishing his power and gaining rare treasures.
• Ye Han checked the Reincarnation Fruit and saw that it was nearing maturity after absorbing power from the Water Spirit Coffin.
• Ye Han was surprised that the Water Spirit Coffin’s aura had barely diminished and was far more powerful than he had imagined.

Ye Han sent his Devil-Attribute Clone and Metal Puppets to search for his missing companions while he cultivated aboard the Black Flying Boat. When the Reincarnation Fruit ripened, he swallowed it and realized the Water Spirit Coffins might be central to the Reincarnation Battlefield’s effort to revive their occupants, just as the fruit’s power began erupting inside him.

• Ye Han sent his Devil-Attribute Clone and Metal Puppets to search for Azure Phoenix Fairy, Red Dragon Girl, Fairy Fire Spirit, Fairy Water Dew, and Hei Lin.

• The Reincarnation Fruit ripened, and Ye Han saw that the Water Spirit Coffin’s energy was still feeding the flourishing sapling.
• Ye Han swallowed the Reincarnation Fruit and sensed powerful reincarnation energy and law spreading through him.
• Ye Han realized the Reincarnation Battlefield might be gathering reincarnation power in the Water Spirit Coffins to revive the beings inside them.

• Ye Han absorbed the Reincarnation Fruit’s power into his nascent soul, where a swastika mark and Buddhist halo appeared.
• Ye Han realized his strengthened nascent soul let him absorb energy in the Reincarnation Battlefield and that Buddhist cultivation could help him reach perfection as a true immortal.
• A chubby infant summoned Buddhist treasures and performed a rite that opened the gate beneath an enormous Buddha face.
• The chubby infant vanished as the gate opened, and Ye Han saw light ripple across two Life Soul Tokens in his hand.

Ye Han sensed Red Dragon Girl's and Azure Phoenix Fairy's life soul auras and set out to find them, while protecting Fairy Ningyu and Fairy Jade Orchid inside the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron Space. As he fought through Buddha Statues, his badly injured devil race clone returned, leaving Ye Han wondering what powerful creature had attacked it.

• Ye Han discovered that Red Dragon Girl's and Azure Phoenix Fairy's Life Soul Tokens had revealed their auras, but neither woman responded when he tried to contact them.
• Ye Han placed Fairy Ningyu, Fairy Jade Orchid, and the Black Flying Boat inside the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron Space before heading out alone.
• Ye Han fought Buddha Statues in the corridor, exploiting the Nascent Souls in their abdomens and collecting Buddhist Beads and other treasures.
• Ye Han recalled his devil race clone after sensing it was in extreme danger, then extinguished the black-and-blue flames burning its arm.
• Ye Han saw how gravely injured his clone was and wondered what powerful creature had attacked it.

Ye Han learned that his Devil Race clone had been gravely wounded and his Metal Puppets destroyed near the location of Red Dragon Girl and Azure Phoenix Fairy, whose Life Soul Tokens were now sending urgent signals. He rushed to confront the enemy wearing his newly developed Reincarnation Armor, but terrifying Buddha Statues charged at him along the way.

• Ye Han sensed through his Devil Race clone that an unknown opponent had gravely wounded it and destroyed all the Metal Puppets.
• Red Dragon Girl and Azure Phoenix Fairy's Life Soul Tokens vibrated urgently, leading Ye Han to realize the opponent had taken control of them and was luring him toward their location.
• Ye Han decided the confrontation was unavoidable and dashed toward the women, suspecting the opponent was connected to the escaped nascent soul of the cultivator.
• Ye Han manifested his golden Reincarnation Armor, combining Buddhist Dao law, reincarnation power, the Stars Demonic Armor, and the Vajra Fire God Art.
• As Ye Han raced forward, terrifying Buddha Statues charged at him with storms of divine abilities, and he noticed they were different from before.

Ye Han fought through increasingly powerful Buddha Statues and entered a vast hall, where he faced a jade-white female Buddha Statue entwined with an enormous white serpent. The serpent unleashed blue-black flames at him, and the confrontation continued.

• Ye Han advanced through Buddha Statues protected by sealing-law runes, destroying them with Golden Light Fist Barrier Qi as they grew larger and stronger.
• Ye Han shattered a thousand-zhang Buddha Statue and the golden Buddha-face gate behind it, entering a vast space.
