Chapter Summaries

• Ye Han’s cudgel cracked the Buddha’s face, and a voice threatened him by asking whether he wanted Red Dragon Girl and Azure Phoenix Fairy to live.

• The plump nascent soul acknowledged Ye Han's strength and offered to explain what he knew, but asked to make a deal first.

Ye Han traded the Four-Handed Guanyin to the Nascent Soul for Buddhist Dao techniques and secret methods. The Nascent Soul, who revealed that he was Buddha-Seal Daoist, took control of the body and said their preparations would be needed to deal with the Buddha Ancestor's Body; Ye Han asked about their plan to escape.

After learning how the battlefield's reincarnations strengthened its creatures, the group discussed ways to withstand its suppressive forces and improve their chances of survival.

When Fairy Jade Orchid began triggering a heavenly tribulation, he moved her and the others’ Black Flying Boat into the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron Space, then Buddha-Seal Daoist arrived and said they could begin their operation.

• Ye Han advanced his nascent soul to the true Buddha realm and considered whether the Reincarnation Mystic Treasure was real or part of the battlefield’s trap.

• Buddha-Seal Daoist appeared beside Ye Han, praised his rapid advancement, and said they could begin their operation.

Ye Han and his companions used the Demon-Subduing Buddhist Method to pass the Buddha Statues without alerting them and approached the Buddha-Heart Trial. As they prepared for Ye Han to attempt the trial, the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron trembled at something ahead.

• Ye Han, Buddha-Seal Daoist, Hei Lin, Fairy Water Dew, and Fairy Fire Spirit raced through the Buddha Statue passage concealed by Buddhist Dao spirit light.

• Ye Han recognized that passing the trial had brought him benefits, but its greatest benefit was not an improvement to his true Buddha nascent soul.

After passing the Buddha-Heart Trial, Ye Han used the wooden fish to purify the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron’s bloodthirsty aura and decided it was safe to consume the ripe Reincarnation Fruit. The fruit triggered a powerful transformation in his true Buddha nascent soul, while the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron began surging uncontrollably.

• The wooden fish’s Buddhist Dao power slowly purified the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron’s bloodthirsty aura and reduced its backlash.
• Ye Han noticed that the Reincarnation Sapling had formed a second fruit and decided to eat the ripe one to strengthen his true Buddha nascent soul before facing the Buddha Ancestor’s Body.
• Ye Han made the ripe Reincarnation Fruit drop into his palm and swallowed it.
• The fruit’s reincarnation power covered Ye Han’s true Buddha nascent soul in swastika runes and made Buddha light and his everlasting immortal flower surge forth.
• The Heaven-Devouring Cauldron began surging uncontrollably, and Ye Han wondered whether its backlash was returning.

Ye Han tried to save the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron from a strange Buddhist Dao aura that was consuming it, but the cauldron and his True Buddha nascent soul began fighting inside his body. As both powers wore each other down and grievously injured him, Ye Han faced the possibility of having to choose between them before an even more astonishing change occurred.

• Ye Han realized that the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron was struggling against Buddhist Dao runes that were corroding it, rather than attacking him with a deliberate backlash.
• Fearing that the cauldron’s destruction would also harm him and endanger his plans in the Reincarnation Battlefield, Ye Han decided to help it resist the Buddhist Dao aura.
• Ye Han released the restriction formed by the Ancient Human Race Inheritance, allowing the cauldron to unleash a purple pupil that attacked and shattered the swastika halos.
• The cauldron’s purple power and Ye Han’s golden Buddhist Dao power consumed each other, causing violent explosions throughout his body.
• Ye Han spat blood and suffered grievous injuries as he wondered whether he would have to choose between the cauldron and his life-bound nascent soul, then an even more astonishing change occurred.

Ye Han’s true Buddha nascent soul nearly collapsed when the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron and the Mysterious Woman attacked it, but the Reincarnation Fruit and Wooden Fish restored his strength. As Buddhist power took control of him, the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron struck the Water Spirit Coffin, releasing a strange Buddha phantom and powerful conversion laws.

• The Mysterious Woman in the Water Spirit Coffin attacked Ye Han’s true Buddha nascent soul alongside the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron, driving it toward collapse.

• The Mysterious Woman warned Ye Han that the Buddhist Dao was controlling him, but he did not notice.
• The Heaven-Devouring Cauldron struck the Water Spirit Coffin, and a two-faced Buddha phantom emerged, filling the cauldron with powerful conversion laws.

Ye Han resisted the Two-Faced Buddha’s attempt to erase his Dao heart, recovering his will after seeing his father, Ye Tianyu, appear within the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron. As the Cauldron fought back, the Buddha challenged Ye Han’s resolve, leaving him to question whether immortality mattered if he lost himself.

• Ye Han’s devotion to the Buddhist Dao intensified as Buddha light and reincarnation runes poured into him, restoring his injured body while his Dao heart began to erode.

• Ye Han regained awareness, rejected becoming a Buddha, and unleashed his will and ten-thousand-year Dao heart.
• The Heaven-Devouring Cauldron erupted with purple-gold power and struck the Two-Faced Buddha, which countered with a black swastika vortex as Ye Han’s true Buddha nascent soul began to collapse.
• The Two-Faced Buddha warned Ye Han that he could never become an immortal or Buddha without its power, and Ye Han wondered whether he could continue cultivating without his nascent soul.
• Ye Han declared that becoming an immortal or Buddha had no meaning if the one who attained it was not truly himself.

Ye Han resisted the Reincarnation Battlefield’s attempt to erase his identity and turn him into a Buddha, strengthening his true Buddha nascent soul with his undying Dao Heart. He suppressed the Water Spirit Coffin and began absorbing the surrounding power, while the upheaval alarmed those waiting outside the Buddha-Heart Trial Grounds.

• Ye Han realized the Water Spirit Coffin and true Buddha nascent soul were traps meant to make him submit to the Buddhist Dao and lose his sense of self.
• Ye Han’s Dao Heart erupted through his soul, body, and nascent soul, driving the Buddhist conviction out of his consciousness and strengthening his nascent soul.
• The Heaven-Devouring Cauldron shattered the black Buddha figure, pinned down the Water Spirit Coffin, and suppressed its reincarnation aura.
• Ye Han used his undying Dao Heart to withstand the surrounding demonic reincarnation aura and absorb Buddha light and law power to restore his cultivation and replenish the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron.
• Buddha-Seal Daoist, Hei Lin, Fairy Fire Spirit, and Fairy Water Dew felt the passage shake and feared something had happened to Ye Han as the nearby Buddha Statues began to stir.

After resisting the Reincarnation Battlefield’s Buddhist conversion, Ye Han gained an initial understanding of the undying Dao heart and a True Immortal’s power. He realized he and the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron were caught in a conflict between Yang Celestial Venerable and the being behind the battlefield, while the cauldron survived its losses with its power purified.

• Ye Han emerged from more than five hundred years of recovery and cultivation with an undying Dao heart, an immortal divine soul, and an imperishable physical body.
• Ye Han considered how the Reincarnation Battlefield’s Buddhist laws had nearly converted him into a Buddha Statue and suspected its creator had designed the battlefield to target the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron.
• Ye Han realized Yang Celestial Venerable had used him and the cauldron in a hidden contest with a powerful True Buddha.
• Ye Han recognized that his undying Dao heart had freed him from the true Buddha Nascent Soul, preventing him from reaching its dangerous Great Perfection.
• The Heaven-Devouring Cauldron emerged docile and covered in purple light after losing more than half its accumulated power, which the Buddhist assault had also purified.

Ye Han watched the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron purify itself and transform the Reincarnation Sapling and its fruit, leaving the cauldron weakened but safer and able to rapidly regain strength. After deciding to leave the Buddha-Heart Trial Grounds, Ye Han opened the Metal Gate and was surprised by what he saw outside.

• The Heaven-Devouring Cauldron purged the Buddhist Dao's corrupting power, losing much of its strength and becoming exceptionally pure, with almost no backlash against Ye Han.
• The Reincarnation Sapling turned white as jade, and its fruit replaced the Buddhist power within it with an aura like Ye Han's undying dao heart.
• The Heaven-Devouring Cauldron began safely absorbing the Water Spirit Coffin's reincarnation aura, allowing Ye Han to estimate it could recover beyond its former peak in about a thousand years.
• Ye Han judged that his transformed body, divine soul, nascent soul, and dao heart made his next actions in the Reincarnation Battlefield safer, and decided it was time to leave.
• The Metal Gate opened, and Ye Han was surprised by the situation outside the Buddha-Heart Trial Grounds.
