Chapter Summaries

Xiao Tian Ce confronted Black Dragon's and Black Phoenix's elders, then met the Great Thousand World's leading experts and entered the city with them. As he fed Xiao Bai Ying, the Undying Lord asked whether he could refine a late-stage saint-grade heavenly sovereign Heavenly Demon Puppet.

• At the City Lord's Mansion, the Undying Lord asked Xiao Tian Ce whether he could refine a late-stage saint-grade heavenly sovereign Heavenly Demon Puppet.

Xiao Tian Ce discussed refining a Heavenly Demon Puppet from Xuan Tian Gang’s body with the Buddha Gu Clan, answering their questions but refusing to make more puppets for them. He then agreed to refine one for the Tai Ling Gu Clan as well, leaving its potential strength dependent on the body they could provide.

• The Undying Lord asked Xiao Tian Ce whether he could refine a late-stage saint-grade Heavenly Demon Puppet, and Xiao Tian Ce explained that suitable materials did not exist.
• Qin Tian introduced Qing Tian, Xuan Guang, and Mo Tong of the Buddha Gu Clan, who asked Xiao Tian Ce about refining a puppet from Xuan Tian Gang’s corpse.
• Xiao Tian Ce said Xuan Tian Gang’s body could produce at least a middle-stage saint-grade puppet, promised to leave it free of hidden controls, and refused to refine any additional puppets for the clan.
• Xuan Guang asked whether extracting Xuan Tian Gang’s eight divine veins would weaken the puppet, and Xiao Tian Ce said it would have no effect.
• Ye Qingqing approached Xiao Tian Ce on behalf of the Tai Ling Gu Clan, and he agreed to refine one puppet for them using a suitable saint-grade corpse or a Heavenly Demon Emperor-level body.

Xiao Tian Ce defeated Huang Xuan in a spar, then attended the funeral on the Divine Treasury Continent, where the fallen would be entrusted to him to become Heavenly Demon Puppets. After agreeing to refine thirty-two puppets outside the continent, he let Heavenly Net take Xiao Bai Ying to visit her mother while he worked.

• Xiao Tian Ce’s Heavenly Demon Puppet outmaneuvered Huang Xuan, and the Desolate Ancient Clan’s ancestor stopped the fight and praised Xiao Tian Ce for holding back.
• Qin Tian led the gathered experts through a spatial gate to the Divine Treasury Continent, where they honored the dead at a funeral and memorial monument.

• After Xiao Bai Ying said she missed her mother, Xiao Tian Ce agreed and warned Heavenly Net to keep her safe on the journey to the Heavenly Snake Continent.

Heavenly Net brought Xiao Bai Ying to the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python clan’s Ancestral Land to visit Medusa, but the clan said she was in seclusion and could not be seen. After completing thirty-two Heavenly Demon Puppets for the Great Thousand Palace and the Gu clans, Xiao Tian Ce heard Xuan Guang renew a marriage alliance proposal and suggest Qing Yan Jing as his concubine.

• Xiao Tian Ce sent Xiao Bai Ying and Heavenly Net to the Heavenly Snake Continent, asking Heavenly Net to keep her safe as she went to see Medusa.
• Heavenly Net and Xiao Bai Ying reached the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python clan’s Ancestral Land, where clan members surrounded them with snakes before Heavenly Net announced their visit.

• Xiao Tian Ce finished refining thirty-two Heavenly Demon Puppets and gave control pendants to Lu Tong, Ye Qingqing, and Xuan Guang.
• Xuan Guang privately asked Xiao Tian Ce whether he would consider a marriage alliance with the Buddha Gu Clan, proposing the twenty-year-old Sixth-Grade Sovereign Qing Yan Jing as a concubine.

Xiao Tian Ce declined the Buddha Gu Clan’s proposal to take Qing Yan Jing as a concubine, then rescued his disciple Huai En from qi deviation caused by absorbing too much demonic bloodline power. After accepting two valuable spiritual array diagrams from Ye Qingqing, he left the meeting with the clans on friendly terms and exchanged them for pills that could help heavenly sovereigns advance.

• Xiao Tian Ce refused Xuan Guang’s proposal that he take Qing Yan Jing as a concubine, and Xuan Guang left after their conversation was interrupted.

• Xiao Tian Ce accepted the diagrams and gave Ye Qingqing Ascension Spirit Moon God Pills, explaining their potential to help late-stage immortal-grade heavenly sovereigns reach the saint grade.

Xiao Tian Ce left the Great Thousand Palace after arranging for two pills to be delivered, then learned that Medusa was undergoing a bloodline fusion that might awaken the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python Clan’s lost taboo art. He traveled to Xiao Yan’s newly established Endless Fire Domain and found Mohe Tian and the Western Heaven War Emperor plotting to challenge it, leaving a confrontation looming.

• Xiao Tian Ce gave Ye Qingqing two pills that could help late-stage immortal-grade Heavenly Sovereigns advance, and she agreed to deliver one to the Buddha Gu Clan’s Great Elder.
• The Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python Clan Chief revealed that Medusa resembled a vanished ancestor and might awaken the clan’s taboo secret art, Devour Heaven and Earth, justifying the resources spent on her bloodline fusion.
• After receiving a message about Medusa, Xiao Tian Ce decided to wait three more months before visiting her, then set out to see Xiao Yan’s Endless Fire Domain.

At the Endless Fire Domain's founding ceremony, the Western Heaven War Emperor and Mohe Tian tried to provoke Xiao Yan into demonstrating his strength. Xiao Xuan intervened on the White Jade Capital's behalf, and the two antagonists challenged whether he could represent it.

• The Western Heaven War Emperor and Mohe Tian agreed to cause trouble at the Endless Fire Domain's founding ceremony, while Xiao Tian Ce chose not to warn Xiao Yan or interfere.
• Xiao Yan began the ceremony without Xiao Tian Ce, and Gu Yuan welcomed the many guests gathered to witness the Endless Fire Domain's founding.

• Xiao Yan taunted Mohe Tian and continued fighting him with flames, appearing to hold the advantage before the watching crowd.
• Xiao Tian Ce watched the battle with the Western Heaven War Emperor and said that within a hundred years the War Emperor might not be qualified to stand before Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan outmaneuvered Mohe Tian in a three-move contest but was stopped by Xiao Tian Ce before their fight could continue. After the Maha Gu Clan’s Second Elder settled the dispute, Xiao Tian Ce encouraged Xiao Yan, announced plans to connect the Great Thousand World with the Dou Qi Continent, and gave him a peerless divine ability.

The chapter ended with Xiao Qing offering Xiao Tian Ce the Emperor’s Origin he had once given her, which he told her to keep until she finished converting her dou qi into spiritual power.

• The Endless Fire Domain and Supreme Martial Realm rose as superpowers, strengthening the Great Thousand World’s Northern Front against the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan.

Fifty years after Xiao Tian Ce helped establish White Jade Capital as a major power, Qin Tian summoned him to join a dangerous mission to rescue the unnamed senior who had aided him inside Extraterrestrial Demon Clan territory. The leaders suspected the plea for help was a trap, but Xiao Tian Ce agreed to enter the Abyssal Continent if the senior could be saved.

• Xiao Qing told Xiao Tian Ce that the Xiao Clan had become the Dou Qi Continent's unquestioned overlord, and she agreed to keep managing its affairs until she found a successor.
• Over the next fifty years, White Jade Capital grew into a superpower, while its Heavenly Demon Puppets and the Immortal-Slaying City battlefield helped inflict heavy losses on the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan.

• Qin Tian and leaders of the Five Primordial Gu Clans met Xiao Tian Ce and explained that their mission was to rescue the senior who had secretly aided the Great Thousand World for millions of years.
• The leaders warned that the plea for help might be bait for an ambush on the Abyssal Continent, but Xiao Tian Ce said he would go if they could truly rescue the senior.

Xiao Tian Ce and Qin Tian argued that the Great Thousand World should rescue the senior held by the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan, while other experts warned that a mission to the Abyssal Continent could leave their defenses dangerously weakened. Xiao Tian Ce proposed a diversionary strike on the God-Demon Continent before attacking the Abyssal Continent, but the elders feared his plan could trigger an all-out war.

• Xiao Tian Ce said he would risk entering the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan's territory to save the senior who had once helped him, and Qin Tian and Lu Tong supported the rescue.

• The Desolate Ancient Clan ancestor and the Maha Gu Clan's ancestor objected that Xiao Tian Ce's plan was reckless and could provoke an all-out war.

Xiao Tian Ce abandoned his plan to destroy Extraterrestrial Demon Clan branches after the elders warned it could trigger a full-scale war, but he and Qin Tian continued planning a rescue on the Abyssal Continent. Fu Tu Xuan and the Tai Ling Ancestor lent Xiao Tian Ce powerful clan artifacts, and he set three days to prepare before the dangerous mission.

• Hei Tian, Hei Di, Qin Tian, Lu Tong, and other elders opposed Xiao Tian Ce’s plan to wipe out Extraterrestrial Demon Clan branches, warning that it could provoke a full-scale war.

• Xiao Tian Ce said he needed three days to prepare in White Jade Capital before he and Qin Tian set out for the Abyssal Continent.

White Jade Capital’s leaders worried as Xiao Tian Ce and Qin Tian infiltrated the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan’s territory on their way to rescue someone from the Abyssal Continent. After witnessing the demons’ cruelty toward humans, Xiao Tian Ce intervened when Yan Jiu killed a young woman, and his disguise as a Saint Demon Clan member left Yan Jiu begging for mercy.

• Medusa told White Jade Capital’s leaders to remain at their posts while Xiao Tian Ce pursued the rescue mission, and Xiao Xuan agreed to stay and watch over Ying Ying.

• Yan Jiu recognized Xiao Tian Ce’s apparent Saint Demon Clan identity and begged to be spared.

Xiao Tian Ce and Qin Tian infiltrated the Abyssal Continent in disguises, evading the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan’s scrutiny as they searched for a captive senior. In the Holy City, they overheard two human collaborators discussing the captive and realized they might have found their target.

• Xiao Tian Ce killed Yan Jiu’s grandfather after learning through a soul search that the Flame Demon Clan expert had attacked them only to avenge Yan Jiu.
• Xiao Tian Ce and Qin Tian passed multiple divine-sense scans and entered the Abyssal Continent undetected with their Bionic Spiritual Array Jade Pendants.
• The pair traveled to the Holy City and saw the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan’s devotion to the Heavenly Evil God.
• At a restaurant, Qin Tian explained that Sheng Yuan and Sheng Yin were humans whose ancestors had surrendered to the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan and now helped secure its conquered territories.
• Xiao Tian Ce and Qin Tian overheard Sheng Yuan and Sheng Yin discussing the senior they were holding, then decided to follow them.

Xiao Tian Ce and Qin Tian discovered that the senior they sought was imprisoned in a heavily guarded dungeon in Holy City, making a quiet rescue nearly impossible. After learning the extent of the guards, Xiao Tian Ce proposed two alternatives: exchange captured human allies for the senior or pressure the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor by attacking surrendered human sects.

• Xiao Tian Ce and Qin Tian overheard Sheng Yuan and Sheng Yin reveal that the senior was imprisoned in the Saint Demon Clan's dungeon, then followed them to locate it.
• Xiao Tian Ce and Qin Tian found the dungeon protected by a powerful spiritual array and hidden Heavenly Demon Emperors, and debated whether the apparent rescue opportunity was a trap.
• Xiao Tian Ce captured a dungeon guard and searched his soul, learning that three Heavenly Demon Emperors and more than a dozen immortal-grade Heavenly Sovereigns guarded the prison.
• Xiao Tian Ce told Qin Tian that a quiet rescue was impossible and proposed capturing surrendered Heavenly Sovereigns for a prisoner exchange.
• Xiao Tian Ce proposed a second plan: destroy human sects that had surrendered to the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan until the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor released the senior.

Xiao Tian Ce and Qin Tian began a campaign to destroy sects serving the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan, hoping to destabilize its rear territories and create pressure to rescue an ancient senior. After sixteen sects were annihilated, Qin Tian was injured by a strange sword technique, and Xiao Tian Ce stayed with him while he recovered.

• Xiao Tian Ce persuaded Qin Tian to pursue their risky plan, and the two agreed to retaliate against the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan by destroying its allied sects.
• Xiao Tian Ce and Qin Tian annihilated the Tyrant Sect and Divine Martial Hall, while a spiritual array concealed their attacks and prevented the sect masters from escaping.
• The Extraterrestrial Demon Clan's Heavenly Demon Emperors arrived too late to find the attackers and ordered the continent's Teleportation Arrays sealed.
• Over the next two months, Xiao Tian Ce and Qin Tian destroyed fourteen more sects, leaving the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan's rear territories in disarray.
• A middle-stage saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign from the Heavenly Sword Sect injured Qin Tian with a strange sword technique, and Xiao Tian Ce gave him a pill and urged him to recover.

While Qin Tian recovered in hiding, Xiao Tian Ce’s attacks on sixteen human super sects led the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan’s strongest leaders to identify him as the culprit and debate how to respond. They agreed on a plan to protect their dependent human sects while turning his rescue attempt into an opportunity to deal with him.

• Xiao Tian Ce decided to wait three days while Qin Tian healed, and supplied him with Sovereign Spirit Liquid from an imitation Heaven-Transforming Bowl.
• The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor and other leaders gathered in Holy City to discuss the destruction of sixteen human super sects and the chaos across their territory.
• The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor concluded that Xiao Tian Ce was responsible, and the Nine Heavens Corpse Demon Emperor and Dark Heavenly Demon Emperor recalled their past clashes with him.
• Yin Ri suggested Xiao Tian Ce had come to rescue the old captive in the dungeon and was attacking the human sects to pressure the demons into releasing him.
• The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor proposed that they not simply release the captive, and Yin Ri outlined a plan that the gathered leaders approved.
