Chapter Summaries

As a Peerless Immortal Land appeared in the Nine Provinces, powerful outsiders gathered at its borders and faced resistance from the King of Reincarnation, Zhou Tai, and the Martial Sect elder. At the South Sea, Uncle Wei revealed that he could use King Chen’s Ancient Sacrificial Method to project him back, silencing the assembled enemies.

• The King of Reincarnation blocked an Old Antique at the East Sea and faced a growing host of experts seeking entry to the Peach Garden.
• Zhou Tai confronted outsiders at the Northern Ridge, while the Martial Sect elder killed a youthful-looking Old Antique in three moves on the Western Region Plain.
• At the South Sea, the Nine Provinces’ remaining top fighters faced contempt from the gathered experts as Uncle Wei prepared an Ancient Sacrificial Grand Formation.
• Uncle Wei invoked his close bond with King Chen and revealed that King Chen had left him a method to project him back in a life-or-death situation.
• The South Sea experts fell silent and stared at King Wei Wu, uncertain whether his claim was true.

As powerhouses gathered on the East Sea coast to enter the Immortal Spirit Blessed Land, the Sacred Soul Sect leader attacked the King of Reincarnation with a ghost hand carrying seventh-tier might. The King of Reincarnation destroyed it with one strike of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Swords, leaving the gathered forces stunned.

• Powerhouses questioned whether King Chen could return and hesitated to lead an assault, while an Old Antique warned that the King of Reincarnation and the Last Mountain God were the greater dangers.
• The East Sea coast filled with powerful outsiders, including three whose auras rivaled the King of Reincarnation's, as challengers argued that the Nine Provinces could not claim the treasures for themselves.
• The Sacred Soul Sect arrived, and its leader immediately attacked the King of Reincarnation with a ghostly hand whose power reached the seventh tier.
• The King of Reincarnation opened the Nine Dragons Heavenly Swords Casket and sent eight swords against the hand, but they only delayed its descent.
• The King of Reincarnation wielded the final sword and used Heaven-Opening to sever and destroy the ghost hand, shocking the gathered powerhouses.

The Nine Provinces’ defenders deterred invading powerhouses at four locations by demonstrating their strength and laying down rules, though several were forced into desperate battles. The South Sea confrontation ended with a bluff that hid the defenders’ lack of further sacrificial offerings, leaving the Nine Provinces’ forces relieved but vulnerable.

• The King of Reincarnation killed the Sacred Soul Sect’s assassin with the eight Heavenly Swords, then endured the Sect Master’s counterattack while persuading the other powerhouses to follow his rules.
• The Last Mountain God killed an Asura Gate Grand Elder and wounded another Old Antique before allowing the Northern Ridge powerhouses to pass.
• The old man surnamed Jiang killed three hostile experts on the Western Plateau, then prepared to fight a black-clad youth with a buzz cut.
• Uncle Wei defeated a third-tier supreme powerhouse with the Stone Sculpture, while Er Leng distracted a sixth-tier supreme powerhouse long enough for the defenders to activate a Divine Sacrifice that killed him.
• Uncle Wei claimed King Chen had left enough sacrificial offerings to kill more sixth-tier supreme powerhouses, causing the South Sea invaders to remain silent and accept his rules.
• After the powerhouses left, the Nine Provinces’ defenders admitted they had emptied their own reserves to activate the Divine Sacrifice and had no further offerings.

Powerhouses entered the Fierce Land seeking treasures, but the deadly dangers killed many, including several Supreme Powerhouses. When the survivors found a treasure ground blocked by bloodthirsty vines, Wangqing Daoist proposed using a trail of blood to get past them.

• Powerhouses entered the Fierce Land and found rare spiritual treasures, while deadly hazards killed experts across several levels of strength.
• The King of Equality and the other Kings of the Nine Provinces waited outside the Peach Garden and discussed the conflicts keeping their leaders away.

• Supreme Powerhouses emerged with wounds and learned that at least three of their number had died inside the Fierce Land.
• Lü Qiu and the other Supreme Powerhouses discussed the blood vines guarding a treasure ground after the vines killed a Fourth Dao Step expert and resisted every attack.
• Wangqing Daoist proposed paving a path with blood to distract the vines, and a scarred middle-aged man agreed.

The Nine Provinces' kings restrained their anger as foreign Supreme Powerhouses sought a way through the Fierce Land, and a confrontation over capturing people was halted by the revelation of the Scarred Black-Clothed Man's master. The chapter ended with the Old Antiques recognizing Zhao Gujin, the Martial artist who once fought the young Martial Lord to a draw.

• A Supreme Powerhouse seized two trucks carrying pigs and threw the unconscious drivers toward King of Equality, who caught them and ordered the other kings to endure.
• The Supreme Powerhouses found that pig blood failed to open the blood-covered path in the Fierce Land, and they debated whether to capture people from the Nine Provinces.
• The Scarred Black-Clothed Man insisted they capture people, threatened Jing Shou, and warned Shenji against interfering.
• The man revealed that he served Zhao Gujin, prompting the Old Antiques to recognize the survivor from the Dao Prosperity Era who had once fought the young Martial Lord to a draw.

A scarred man in black and Wangqing Daoist captured the Nine Provinces’ kings and Supreme Powerhouses to use their blood to pave a path to the Immortal Hand Vine. As they reached the low mountain, pounding and threats from inside the Formless City Restricted Zone interrupted them.

• The scarred man in black threatened Lü Qiu through his grandson Lü Qing and sent Lü Qiu to capture people from the Nine Provinces.
• The King of Equality restrained the Nine Provinces’ kings from attacking while they waited for King Wei Wu and the King of Reincarnation.

• The scarred man in black wounded King Wei Wu and Er Leng, while Wangqing Daoist sealed Tang Yi’s escape and captured her and the Nine Provinces’ kings.
• The scarred man in black and Wangqing Daoist headed for the low mountain with their captives, and Lü Qiu followed them.
• Someone inside the Formless City Restricted Zone pounded on the doors and threatened to kill everyone outside once they got out.

• The scarred man in black countered with four punches, summoning heavenly fire, a mystic river, destructive wind, and a divine mountain.

Jiang Xiao Chen defeated the scarred man in black and pursued the other attackers after they fled. Wangqing Daoist unleashed the Beauty Painting’s power, but Tie Zhu stole the scroll, leaving Jiang Chen with it.

• The scarred man in black struck Jiang Xiao Chen with his ultimate martial arts attack, but Jiang Xiao Chen recovered and killed him with the Restricted Zone gate.

• Wangqing Daoist unfurled the Beauty Painting and gained overwhelming immortal power, then attacked Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen defeated Wangqing Daoist, forced visitors to pay for access to the Fierce Land, and returned to the Underground City. There he learned that Elder Jiang and the Yama King had been crippled by an unknown enemy and left beyond ordinary treatment.

• Jiang Chen had Jiang Xiao Chen kill Wangqing Daoist, then ordered the bodies of her allies hung beyond the East Sea as a warning.
• Jiang Chen charged visiting powers ten High-Grade Sacrificial Offerings to enter the Nine Provinces and the Fierce Land, and made poorer Kings sign interest-bearing IOUs for what they owed.
• Jiang Chen chose not to enter the Peach Garden after learning that the Fierce Land could hold ancient beings as powerful as the Yin God.

• The King of Reincarnation reported that the attacker had left a warning declaring the fate of those defeated at their hands.

The Yama King broke through by reshaping himself, then departed with Uncle Wei for the Fengdu Forbidden Domain to grow stronger and pursue Zhao Gujin. As the second turmoil approached, a suspicious Yin God confronted Jiang Chen about the transformed hammer he carried.

• The Yama King broke through and freed himself from the annihilation formation, then swore to slay Zhao Gujin and asked Uncle Wei to help him enter the Fengdu Forbidden Domain.
• Uncle Wei agreed to accompany the Yama King, asked the King of Reincarnation about his missing master, and learned that his master had gone to the Fengdu Forbidden Domain.
• Mountain God Zhou Tai predicted a Fierce Land would appear near Northern Ridge, and the King of Reincarnation assigned the others to seek opportunities while he guarded the Nine Provinces.
• At a meeting, the King of Reincarnation warned that ninth-tier Weird Objects might emerge during the second turmoil, while Jiang Chen kept his experiences in the Pseudo-Restricted Zone to himself.
• That night, a Yin God arrived after the Restricted Zone's exit sealed, and Tunxiang questioned Jiang Chen about the Earthly Fiend Yin God Hammer and who had granted him its power.

Jiang Chen exploited Tunxiang’s fear of his supposed powerful backing to destroy Formless City’s Buddha statues and seize the Yin God’s worshippers, then left the Restricted Zone with an Eight-Star Red Emperor Zhurong card. He reflected on his gains, including Tie Zhu’s crooked-path transformation into a True Dragon, while deciding to keep his new power hidden.

• Jiang Chen smashed Buddha statues throughout Formless City, and Tunxiang endured the destruction until it discovered the statues could no longer be restored.
• Tunxiang summoned its worshipper manifestations, but Jiang Chen shattered and imprisoned them with the Yin God Hammer, prompting Tunxiang to release him rather than risk his killing himself.
• Jiang Chen resumed breaking statues and taunted Tunxiang until the Restricted Zone’s passage opened, after which Tunxiang helped him leave.
• Jiang Chen recalled that his stay had earned enough Ghost Qi to draw his first Eight-Star Card, Red Emperor Zhurong, whose power he believed could challenge a Yin God.
• Jiang Chen resolved to conceal the card’s power from hidden beings and the six Restricted Zones, and assessed Tie Zhu’s True Dragon body as exceptionally durable and fast despite its reduced strength.

Jiang Chen learned that Jiang Xiao Chen’s many copied Daos gave him extraordinary potential, while worrying that his Evil Self might turn wicked. He also inspected the transformed Yin God Hammer and discovered its army of Yin Sha had grown far stronger, leaving him with a powerful weapon whose full might he could not yet wield.

• Jiang Chen realized Tie Zhu could slowly grow by consuming offerings and Spirit Treasures, and that Jiang Xiao Chen had reached the Supreme Powerhouse level with dozens of Daos.
• Jiang Xiao Chen went into seclusion to master his strength, while Jiang Chen worried that his Evil Self might become a killing machine; each misread the other’s intentions as the brothers exchanged warnings.
• Tie Zhu mistook their conversation for a dispute over the Jiang family inheritance and told Jiang Xiao Chen that Jiang Chen would show no mercy if matters came to a head.
• Jiang Chen examined the Yin God Hammer and found that it had transformed its Yin God Puppets into stronger Yin Sha that could grow by absorbing remnants, Yin Qi, curses, and other forces.
• Jiang Chen discovered that the hammer could house Yin Gods and use the Yin Sha to enter its devastating Earthly Sha State, but activating it quickly exhausted him and its weight exceeded Jiang Xiao Chen’s strength.

After rare treasures helped powerhouses break through, the Unusual Person World was thrown into panic as the God-Servant, Yin God, and Ba hunted experts. The Nine Provinces remained untouched by the monsters, but a surge of Spiritual Qi at night heralded the emergence of another Fierce Land.

• Powerful figures discovered the legendary Qingqiu Ancient Kingdom, and one visitor nearly entered through its Life Gate before being warned about Jiang Chen's second brother.
• Jiang Chen set up an admission sign charging ten High-Grade Sacrificial Offerings, then raised the fee to one hundred for anyone who challenged his claim over the attraction.

As his sons began building the trial ground, Jiang Chen turned to a message the King of Reincarnation had left him.

• The King of Equality suspected Jiang Chen had maneuvered events to take the King of Reincarnation’s place, while Jiang Xiao Chen quietly watched him.
• Jiang Chen agreed to lead for up to ten days, named Zhou Tai as temporary successor if the King of Reincarnation did not return, and presented detailed training plans for the Netherworld Messengers and Yama Kings.
