Chapter Summaries

Xiao Hua and his avatars concluded that an unseen Upper Realm power might be connected to Namo Maitreya Buddha’s fall and identified the Dragon God as a possible adversary. Xiao Hua then traveled with the Ink Jade Kirin toward Tongtian Peak, where they arrived before a vast, strange mountain.

• Xiao Hua and his avatars debated the hidden threat, with Dragon Vein Xiao Hua arguing that the Dragon God had opposed Namo Maitreya Buddha and Xiao Hua privately sharing a possible way to survive.
• Xiao Hua urged his avatars to work together, then left his body and set out for Tongtian Peak with the Ink Jade Kirin.
• Xiao Hua and the Ink Jade Kirin fought several formidable Primordial Chaos Beasts along the way, and their opponents began treating them as threats to avoid.
• The Ink Jade Kirin grew more hopeful about obtaining the divine artifact, while Xiao Hua remained wary of the suspiciously manageable journey.
• Xiao Hua and the Ink Jade Kirin reached Tongtian Peak and saw a dark purplish-red mountain covered in flowing patterns that emanated strange fluctuations.

Xiao Hua examined Tongtian Peak as Primordial Chaos Beasts raced to climb it, while he remained focused on discovering the peak’s true nature. When a ring of nine-colored lightning swept down the mountain, the Primordial Chaos Five Juniors survived behind a five-colored halo, but many other beasts were killed.

• Xiao Hua and Ink Jade Kirin marveled at Tongtian Peak’s immense size and strange, artifact-like presence as its power spread across the Primordial Continent.
• A gigantic black ape beast emerged from the void and climbed toward Tongtian Peak, prompting hundreds of Primordial Chaos Beasts to follow.
• Golden Toad, Xuantian White Tiger, Five-Colored Phoenix, Black and White Xuanwu, and Ink Jade Kirin joined Xiao Hua, then climbed the peak after he let Ink Jade Kirin choose whether to go.
• Xiao Hua circled Tongtian Peak and observed its strange restrictions and aura while the Primordial Chaos Five Juniors climbed slowly with other beasts.
• Nine-colored ring-shaped lightning swept down Tongtian Peak; the Five Juniors formed a five-colored halo and survived, while more than a hundred nearby Primordial Chaos Beasts were killed.

Xiao Hua watched Primordial Chaos Beasts and spirit plants climb Tongtian Peak toward the divine artifact, then devised a way to conserve his strength after its restrictions and lightning drained him. He landed to inspect the mountain’s seamless junction with the earth and suspected a powerful existence had created it.

• Xiao Hua watched dozens of Primordial Chaos Beasts fly toward Tongtian Peak, followed by Thunder-Eroding Bamboo and other spirit plants.
• Lightning struck the climbers, destroying many beasts while leaving the grasses and trees largely unharmed, and a Primordial Chaos Beast cut through the leading bamboo before evading its counterattack.

• Xiao Hua decided to descend instead of continuing upward, then saw a huge bee-shaped Primordial Chaos Beast appear and fly toward the peak.
• Xiao Hua landed and examined Tongtian Peak’s seamless connection to the earth, concluding that some powerful existence had arranged it.

Xiao Hua used Soaring Sky Vine to climb Tongtian Peak, where a lightning platform formed and drove Primordial Chaos Beasts into a frenzy of slaughter. He stopped below the platform as a bee strange beast turned back and descended toward him.

• Xiao Hua cast wood spells on Soaring Sky Vines and rode one rapidly up Tongtian Peak, where it survived a powerful lightning strike.
• Nine massive lightning bolts formed a platform above the Primordial Chaos Beasts, and a wisp of lightning entered the black ape strange beast.
• The black ape strange beast attacked and killed the Flying Deer strange beast, then charged at another beast and sparked a growing melee around the platform.
• Xiao Hua halted his ascent and waited below the lightning platform as Primordial Chaos Beasts, including the Primordial Chaos Five Juniors, joined the fighting.
• A bee strange beast turned back from above Xiao Hua and buzzed down toward him, while nearby wood-type strange species remained blocked by the lightning radiance.

Xiao Hua fought a powerful bee beast near Tongtian Peak, underestimating its deadly feelers before escaping their grasp and battling back. As he prepared to use stronger methods, a bamboo stalk suddenly shot from behind the beast toward its abdomen.

• Xiao Hua countered the bee beast’s mental attack with his soul art and used vines and flowers to block its stinger and venom.
• The bee beast revealed the strength of its feelers, pierced Xiao Hua, and sealed the space so he could not teleport away.
• Xiao Hua escaped when sprouts grew over his wounds and bound the feelers, then transformed and fought the beast with the As-You-Wish Staff.
• Tuntian rushed to help, but the bee beast’s roar and feelers knocked him away, and Xiao Hua caught him and set him on a Soaring Sky Vine.
• Xiao Hua struck the bee beast with the power of stars and moon, but a bamboo stalk suddenly shot toward its abdomen, prompting the beast to counter with its stinger.

Xiao Hua defeated a bee beast and secured its connected antennae while the wood-element variants treated him as one of their own. As Tongtian Peak’s restrictions vanished, he spotted the divine artifact and raced toward it, but the other Primordial Chaos experts’ clashing domains blocked the way.

• Xiao Hua and the Thunder-Eroding Bamboo killed the bee beast, and Xiao Hua took its connected antennae as a potential spirit treasure.
• Swallow Heaven asked why the wood-element variants had not attacked Xiao Hua, and Xiao Hua joked that his good character had spared him.
• As the slaughter on Tongtian Peak neared its end, Xiao Hua rode the Soaring Sky Vine toward the shattered lightning platform, followed by Swallow Heaven and the wood-element variants.
• Xiao Hua discovered that the restrictions had disappeared and his divine sense worked again, allowing him and the other Primordial Chaos Beasts to rush upward.
• Swallow Heaven spotted an axe-like object, and Xiao Hua confirmed it was the divine artifact after his Eye of Delusion Breaking revealed its dazzling nine-colored light.
• Xiao Hua teleported toward the heights, but the Primordial Chaos experts’ colliding domains formed a barrier that stopped the beasts’ advance.

Xiao Hua and the Primordial Chaos Beasts broke through the rippling blockade and raced toward the divine axe atop Tongtian Peak. As the beasts converged on the artifact, Xiao Hua sent his clones to hold them off and arranged for Phoenix Body Xiao Hua to seize it.

• Xiao Hua and several Primordial Chaos Beasts broke through the chaotic ripples, while the Thunder-Eroding Bamboo and other wood-element species struggled to follow.
• Xiao Hua reached the summit and saw an extraordinary axe whose blade seemed to have split apart everything around it.
• Xiao Hua reached for the axe, but the black ape beast emerged from the void and attacked him, while the four-winged bird raced toward the artifact.
• Xiao Hua summoned Confucian cultivator Xiao Hua, Bone Tempering Xiao Hua, Dragon Vein Xiao Hua, green-robed Xiao Hua, Buddha Bodhi, and Demon Spirit Xiao Hua to block the approaching beasts.
• Xiao Hua fought the black ape beast while Demon Spirit Xiao Hua stopped the four-winged bird, clearing a path for Phoenix Body Xiao Hua to fly toward the axe.

Xiao Hua and his incarnations fought the Primordial Chaos Beasts for the Pangu Axe, but a vast, ancient aura drove them back and revealed the immense Tun Tian Beast. A second powerful being arrived to confront it, and Buddha Bodhi identified the strange, Buddhist-lit beast as connected to the Buddhist Sect.

• Thunder-Eroding Bamboo tried to seize the Pangu Axe, but the axe shattered every bamboo joint that touched it.
• Phoenix Body Xiao Hua reached for the axe, but a savage aura struck him and blasted him unconscious while scattering the Primordial Chaos Beasts and damaging the wood-element aberrations.

• Buddha Bodhi told Xiao Hua that the second beast was connected to the Buddhist Sect and bore the Buddha-nature of Namo Maitreya Buddha and the fruition of a Protector Heavenly King.

Xiao Hua was trapped on Tongtian Peak as Di Ting and the Tun Tian Beast fought across the Primordial Continent. After they both raced for the Pangu Axe, a Xiaohei-like beast emerged from a spatial crack and swallowed Di Ting’s dragon-shaped body.

• Di Ting imprisoned Xiao Hua and vowed to send him to the Western Paradise after killing the Tun Tian Beast, while the Tun Tian Beast also declared it would kill Xiao Hua.
• Di Ting and the Tun Tian Beast fought for more than ten days, devastating the land while Xiao Hua remained sealed and suspected the beasts were related to Xiaohuang and Xiaohei.
• The Tun Tian Beast feinted during another exchange, then rushed toward the Pangu Axe, and Di Ting realized the axe was real.
• As the Tun Tian Beast reached for the axe, a Xiaohei-like beast emerged from a spatial crack and bit down on Di Ting’s dragon-shaped body, swallowing it.

Di Ting used the Pangu Axe to cripple Tun Tian Beast and topple Tongtian Peak, but the two beasts realized neither knew who had built it. As Di Ting turned on Xiao Hua, the sky cracked open above them, revealing falling water and a spreading blue expanse.

• Di Ting bit off part of Tun Tian Beast's body with the Pangu Axe, then struck Tun Tian Beast and split its body in two.
• Di Ting tried to cut down Tongtian Peak with the Pangu Axe, but the axe vanished into the ground and Di Ting was thrown backward.
• Di Ting smashed Tongtian Peak with his horn, collapsing the mountain and breaking his horn in the impact.
• Di Ting and Tun Tian Beast argued over who had ordered the Stone Giants to build Tongtian Peak, while Xiao Hua secretly sent Green-robed Xiao Hua toward the fallen Pangu Axe.
• Di Ting prepared to attack Xiao Hua, but cracks spread across the sky around a blue opening, and water began falling through it.

After Tongtian Peak collapsed, Innate Heavy Water poured through the broken sky and threatened to destroy the Primordial Continent. Xiao Hua and his avatars stopped the falling water for the moment, but the cause of the disaster remained unresolved.

• Xiao Hua realized the falling torrents were Innate Heavy Water and warned Truth Listener that the collapse of Tongtian Peak had endangered the entire Primordial Continent.
• Buddha Bodhi used his Pure Water Vase to collect the falling water while Xiao Hua, the Tun Tian Beast, and Truth Listener tried to contain it.
• Xiao Hua flew to the breach where Tongtian Peak had pierced the sky, but the Small Pouch did nothing and the alien beasts could not stop the flood at its source.
• Xiao Hua and his Confucian avatar formed restraints and a wall of shell inscriptions across the breach, but the Innate Heavy Water broke through them.
• Xiao Hua released his avatars, and they worked together to plug the holes until the torrent stopped falling.

Xiao Hua struggled to contain the innate heavy water pouring through the collapsing sky, but the destruction spread beyond what he and his clones could stop. Di Ting and Tun Tian Beast realized Tongtian Peak and the Pangu Axe may have been arranged to draw them into a battle that would release the water.

• Xiao Hua urged Di Ting and Tun Tian Beast to help contain the calamity, but they said they were too injured and knew of no one else who would intervene.
• After Di Ting and Tun Tian Beast refused to answer his questions about the Dragon God Venerable, Namo Maitreya Buddha, and the divine artifact, Xiao Hua rebuked them for endangering countless lives and left to seal the collapsing sky.
• Di Ting warned Tun Tian Beast that Xiao Hua could become a threat through his dragon-bodied clone and his Buddhist cultivation, while Tun Tian Beast noted Xiao Hua had many clones and disciples.
• The innate heavy water broke through Xiao Hua’s seals and flooded a vast area, leaving Xiao Hua and his clones unable to protect the Primordial Continent.
• Xiao Hua led his clones away, and Di Ting and Tun Tian Beast questioned who had built Tongtian Peak and placed the Pangu Axe there.
• Tun Tian Beast concluded that Tongtian Peak had been built to accumulate innate heavy water and that the Pangu Axe had been placed there to lure the two beasts into fighting and bringing the peak down.

Xiao Hua found the Pangu Axe hidden beneath Tongtian Peak and used Dragon Vein Xiao Hua and the Small Pouch to take it. Truth Listener and Tun Tian Beast confronted him, but the chapter ended with them discovering Xiao Hua’s Formless Nascent Soul nearby.

• Truth Listener and Tun Tian Beast realized Xiao Hua had gone to search for the Pangu Axe.
• Xiao Hua reached green-robed Xiao Hua, who had found the Pangu Axe beneath strange restrictions and visible water-elemental Primordial Qi.
• Xiao Hua failed to touch the Pangu Axe, but Dragon Vein Xiao Hua lifted it and used the Small Pouch to take it into his body.
• Tun Tian Beast and Truth Listener appeared and demanded that Xiao Hua hand over the Pangu Axe, and Tun Tian Beast attacked him.
• Truth Listener noticed Xiao Hua’s Formless Nascent Soul behind Tun Tian Beast, startling the wounded beast.

Xiao Hua explained his plan to help the Stone Giants survive the coming Innate True Water, while Di Ting and the Tun Tian Beast decided to accompany him. After sensing that destruction was already beginning, Xiao Hua sent Creation Sect disciples across the Primordial Continent to rescue its inhabitants and gather supplies.

• Di Ting questioned Xiao Hua about his arrival and concluded that he had not taken the Pangu Axe.
• Xiao Hua proposed that the Stone Giants dig underground shelters and store elemental stones to survive the Innate True Water.
• Di Ting and the Tun Tian Beast transported Xiao Hua back to the mountain and brought Tun Tian along, prompting the Tun Tian Beast to protest the name.
• Xiao Hua sensed changes in the water-elemental Primordial Qi and summoned Creation Sect disciples with the Kunlun Mirror.
• Xiao Hua ordered the disciples to gather inhabitants and supplies, direct those they could not rescue to underground caves, and return when the sky collapsed.

As the Innate Heavy Water began falling over the Primordial Continent, Xiao Hua and his incarnations worked to rescue Primordial Chaos Beasts by sending them into the space. The chapter leaves Xiao Hua continuing the rescue as Truth Listener accused him of seeking merit, while the Tun Tian Beast challenged Truth Listener’s judgment.

• Xiao Hua gave his incarnations Kunlun Mirrors and instructed them to gather Primordial Chaos Beasts and send them into his space.
• Xiao Hua rescued low-level beasts himself and used Creation Sect disciples’ Cosmic Bags and Sumeru Rings to collect more.
• After months of gathering beasts, Xiao Hua heard the collapsing sky and saw the Innate Heavy Water approaching.
• Green-robed Xiao Hua emerged from the space and reported that he had rescued enlightened beasts near Tongtian Peak, then joined Xiao Hua and the Creation Sect disciples in searching for more.
• Truth Listener and the Tun Tian Beast watched the devastation as the Innate Heavy Water corroded fleeing beasts, and Truth Listener claimed Xiao Hua was rescuing them to gain merit.

As the innate heavy water flooded the Primordial Continent, Xiao Hua tried to save its inhabitants and began suspecting that the disaster was meant to harvest their souls. After Dragon Vein Xiao Hua returned injured, he pointed Xiao Hua toward a suspicious sight in the sky.

• Ting Beast and Tun Tian Beast debated the world-destroying calamity and wondered whether Xiao Hua was the hidden hand behind it.
• The collapsing sky overtook Xiao Hua and the Creation Sect disciples, flooding the continent despite their efforts to rescue its inhabitants.
• Xiao Hua noticed that a Primordial Chaos Beast died without leaving a soul, then searched other flooded regions with Buddha Bodhi and found no wandering souls.
• Xiao Hua set out to find Dragon Vein Xiao Hua, and after they reunited, the injured Dragon Vein Xiao Hua pointed out something suspicious above the falling water.

Xiao Hua realized the flood came from a Dragon God array that had released accumulated Innate Heavy Water, and he devised a plan with Dragon Vein Xiao Hua to persuade the Tun Tian Beast to help. He convinced the two beasts that a Devil Venerable had taken over the Dragon God's bones and was harvesting souls, leaving the Tun Tian Beast enraged but Di Ting unconvinced.

• Dragon Vein Xiao Hua told Xiao Hua he had found a vast array above the Primordial Continent that was triggered by Tongtian Peak's collapse and released Innate Heavy Water.
• Xiao Hua and Dragon Vein Xiao Hua reasoned that the Dragon God had created the array, then planned to deceive the Tun Tian Beast into helping them oppose it.
• Xiao Hua flew to Di Ting and the Tun Tian Beast and apologized for suspecting them of causing the catastrophe.
• Xiao Hua claimed that slain Primordial Chaos Beasts' souls remained trapped in their bodies, suggesting a Devil Venerable was gathering souls through the flood.
• Xiao Hua accused a Devil Venerable of occupying the Dragon God's bones to create Tongtian Peak and the array, enraging the Tun Tian Beast while Di Ting remained skeptical.

Xiao Hua, Diting, and Tun Tian Beast investigated the collapsing formation above Tongtian Peak, where they suspected the Devil Race had seized Dragon God Venerable’s remains. When the beasts’ attack opened the formation, Dragon God Venerable’s lightning struck them and Xiao Hua, leaving him embedded in the remnant peak as the formation closed again.

• Xiao Hua persuaded Diting and Tun Tian Beast to take him to Tongtian Peak to investigate the vanished souls and the suspected Devil Venerable.
• Xiao Hua identified the formation eye above the collapsed peak, and the three discovered a vast void collapse pouring down Innate Heavy Water.
• Tun Tian Beast and Diting agreed to set aside their grievances and attacked the formation, exposing golden sunlight beyond it.
• A dragon-shaped lightning bolt descended, forcing Diting and Tun Tian Beast to flee while Xiao Hua was struck and fell into the remnant peak.
• The formation closed and its enormous eye vanished, while a green glimmer briefly flashed from Xiao Hua’s Eye of Delusion Breaking.

After surviving Dragon God's Wrath, Xiao Hua recovered while Soul Cultivator Xiao Hua secretly controlled his body and discovered that a gigantic eye watched from the sky array. Xiao Hua concluded the array had to be broken and met Di Ting and the Tun Tian Beast to discuss how to proceed, though they still could not explain why the Dragon God seemed connected to the crisis.

• Di Ting and the Tun Tian Beast approached Xiao Hua's hiding place, and Soul Cultivator Xiao Hua deceived them into believing he controlled the injured body.
• Soul Cultivator Xiao Hua healed Xiao Hua for ten days and told him about the gigantic eye in the sky array and the danger Liu Yi had sensed.
• Xiao Hua and Soul Cultivator Xiao Hua resolved to break the array and seek help from Di Ting and the Tun Tian Beast.
• Di Ting and the Tun Tian Beast arrived after Xiao Hua contacted them, and the Tun Tian Beast said the array's Dragon God's Wrath showed no Devil Race aura.
• Di Ting admitted that he had detected no Devil Race aura either, but still felt something about the array was wrong.

Xiao Hua persuaded Di Ting and the Tun Tian Beast that a Demon Venerable had taken over the Dragon God Venerable’s body, then searched for a way to break the grand formation. Recalling a strange story about Heaven, Earth, and Human Peaks, he concluded that the summit of Tongtian Peak lay beneath its base, but Di Ting challenged his claim.

• Xiao Hua convinced Di Ting and the Tun Tian Beast that the figure in the formation was a Demon Venerable occupying the Dragon God Venerable’s body.
• The Tun Tian Beast explained that the Dragon God Venerable could create formations spanning a starfield, leaving Xiao Hua doubtful that they could break the formation directly.
• As Xiao Hua recalled how hundreds of millions of Stone Giants had built Tongtian Peak, he had a fleeting insight into the formation’s weakness.
• Xiao Hua connected Han Zhu’s account of climbing Heaven, Earth, and Human Peaks to the possibility that Tongtian Peak’s apparent summit was actually beneath its base.
• Xiao Hua announced that the formation could be broken beneath Tongtian Peak, but Di Ting objected that the peak had already been toppled and its summit had never appeared.
