Chapter Summaries

Bone Tempering Xiao Hua entered the Heavenly Human White Bone, which absorbed his power and grew strong enough to fight the Demon Formation Demon Spirit. Their clash drew the human and Devil Race armies into battle, leaving the war at a stalemate while the two giants continued fighting.

Xiao Hua realized the Demon Formation Demon Spirit had feigned weakness to breach Xu’s World Protecting Great Formation, but he could not stop the collapse as the battle intensified. The chapter ended with Demon Emperor Hong discovering that the Blood Spirits inside the formation had vanished and accusing Demon Emperor Qiong of devouring them all.

• Xiao Hua concluded that the Demon Formation Demon Spirit and Bone Tempering Xiao Hua were both struggling to control their occupied bodies, then urged Bone Tempering Xiao Hua to hold on.

• The Demon Formation Demon Spirit struck Heavenly Human while Xiao Hua, weakened by depleted vital essence, failed to teleport to the damaged formation.
• Demon Emperor Hong appeared among the Demonic Pillars and asked where the Blood Spirits had gone, then accused Demon Emperor Qiong of devouring them.

Xiao Hua’s side seized Demon Emperor Hong’s demon spear while the Devil Race’s Wood-Water Primordial Magnetism unleashed a strange force against Xu’s World Protecting Great Formation. Xiao Hua realized the Devil Race might also have tampered with the Fire-Earth Primordial Magnetism at Yongan Mountain, and the chapter ended as he saw what was happening at the cliff.

• Demon Emperor Hong accused Demon Emperor Qiong of taking the Blood Spirits, but Qiong denied knowing about them and blamed the vanished spirits on other possibilities.
• Bone Tempering Xiao Hua warned that Heavenly Human could not hold out much longer, while the Demon Formation Demon Spirit struck the formation overhead with black lightning and brought down the Wood-Water Primordial Magnetism.
• Demon Emperor Hong attacked Xiao Hua, but the Soaring Flood Dragon Scissors severed his arm and Xiao Hua’s side made the demon spear disappear.
• Demon Emperor Hong withdrew toward the descending primordial magnetism and used his demon horn’s power to drive the Demonic Pillar against Xu’s formation.
• Extreme Magnetic Yuan Light erupted inside the World Protecting Great Formation and spread through it, leading Xiao Hua to suspect the Devil Race had tampered with the Fire-Earth Primordial Magnetism at Yongan Mountain as well.
• Xiao Hua descended beneath the formation toward the cliff and lost his composure when he saw what was happening there.

Xiao Hua realized that the Demon Emperors were using mutually overcoming primordial magnetisms to tear apart the Void, and devised a way to counter them with the Five Elements principle of mutual generation. He brought out his Water-Fire Primordial Magnetism, slowing the destruction as Demon Emperor Hong continued searching the earth for something.

• Four kinds of Extreme Magnetic Yuan Light tore apart the Void’s southwest frontier, and Xiao Hua failed to stop them with his divine sense, Spirit Severing Primordial Light, or thunderbolts.
• The World Protecting Great Formation collapsed, and Void cultivators fought back against the invading Devil Race.
• Xiao Hua noticed Demon Emperor Hong edging toward the primordial magnetisms and reasoned that he was searching the southwest frontier for something the Demon Emperors coveted.
• Xiao Hua realized that combining primordial magnetisms through Five Elements mutual generation could counter the mutually overcoming forces destroying the Void.
• As Demon Emperor Hong spread blood light across the torn earth to search for something, Xiao Hua summoned his Water-Fire Primordial Magnetism, weakening the destructive force and slowing the collapse.

Xiao Hua gathered the three primordial magnetisms to calm the Void’s collapse while Demon Emperor Hong unearthed the Wood Origin. As the magnetisms converged with two innate objects, a heavenly phenomenon revealed the forming Five Elements As-You-Wish Heaven-Piercing Staff, and Xiao Hua ordered his clones to guard it.

• Demon Emperor Qiong blasted the Water-Fire Primordial Magnetism away, but Bone Tempering Xiao Hua wounded Demon Emperor Hong while Xiao Hua struggled to draw the magnetism closer to the other two.
• Xiao Hua told his clones to protect him as he merged the three primordial magnetisms, weakening the destructive upheaval across the Void.
• Demon Emperor Hong opened an abyss and exposed the Wood Origin’s power, while Bone Tempering Xiao Hua lured Demon Emperor Qiong’s Demon Formation Demon Spirit toward a distant valley.
• Xiao Hua joined the three primordial magnetisms and sent the Innate Fire Mother and Innate Jellyfish toward their meeting point, triggering collapsing space and chaos in the Five Elements.
• A five-colored heavenly phenomenon pierced the demon formation, revealing that the Five Elements As-You-Wish Heaven-Piercing Staff was forming, and Xiao Hua ordered his clones to kill anyone who approached.

Xiao Hua and his clones struggled to refine the three magnetic essences into the Five Elements As-You-Wish Heaven-Piercing Staff while Demon Emperor Hong pursued a mysterious object in the abyss. Yun Che identified the object as the Wood Origin, which escaped Demon Emperor Hong’s grasp as his blood lotus burst apart.

• Demon Emperor Hong considered fleeing the battle, then chose to seek the Demon Spirit Xiao Hua and Demon Blade Shi so he could devour the spirit and claim the blade.
• Xiao Hua used the Dragon Language Heavenly Art to refine the three magnetic essences, battling the demonic qi inside them as his clones guarded him.
• Xiao Hua called on his clones to unleash their Dharma Bodies and magical powers together, drawing the Five Elements True Forms toward the magnetic essences.
• Huo Fei proposed abandoning the fight against Demon Emperor Hong, but Shangguan Ce insisted they could not let the Demon Emperor obtain his prize.
• Yun Che recognized the mysterious object as the Wood Origin, and it flew away from Demon Emperor Hong’s reaching arm, scattering his blood lotus into droplets.

Demon Emperor Hong tried to use the Wood Origin to advance into a Demon Venerable, but Yun Che seized it with a Taibai Sect treasure before Liu Wuxie ambushed him. Yun Che died after revealing he had suspected Liu Wuxie, and Mo Lianxi’s song made the copper coin in her hand emit a strange fluctuation.

• Demon Emperor Hong began absorbing the Wood Origin’s power and revealed his intent to advance into a Demon Venerable.
• Yun Che used a copper coin to capture the Wood Origin, but Liu Wuxie struck his Nascent Soul Dharma Body with a secret art and took the treasure.
• Mo Lianxi accused Liu Wuxie of betraying the Ruins and explained that Yun Che had long suspected her of aiding the Devil Race.
• Yun Che admitted he had trusted Liu Wuxie despite his suspicions, then died after asking Mo Lianxi to judge what happened.
• Mo Lianxi sang the song Yun Che had once hummed, and the copper coin in Liu Wuxie’s hand gave off a sharp fluctuation.

Mo Lianxi detonated Yun Che’s copper coin under the cover of green-robed Xiao Hua’s illusion formation, unleashing earth-yellow lightning against Liu Wuxie and Demon Emperor Hong. Liu Wuxie was annihilated, and Demon Emperor Hong’s demonic core was split by the Soaring Flood Dragon Scissors.

• Green-robed Xiao Hua revealed that the illusion formation concealed the battlefield and urged Mo Lianxi to activate the copper coin against Demon Emperor Hong.
• Mo Lianxi resumed his ballad, triggering the copper coin’s explosive lightning and tearing apart the illusion formation.
• Liu Wuxie tried to escape with a tiny white flower, but the lightning overwhelmed her and consumed her body and Primordial Spirit.
• The earth-yellow lightning battered Demon Emperor Hong, destroying his hammer and armor and killing tens of thousands of nearby devils.
• When the lightning paused, Demon Emperor Hong fled, but Xiao Hua’s Five Qi True Thunder and Soaring Flood Dragon Scissors struck, cleaving his demonic core in two.

Green-robed Xiao Hua killed Demon Emperor Hong, then used the Kunlun Mirror’s illusion formation to lure the remaining Demon Emperors into a trap. Demon Emperor Qiong was badly wounded and Demon Emperor Hong escaped into a spatial rift, leaving Xiao Hua pursuing them.

• Xiao Hua annihilated Demon Emperor Hong, and green-robed Xiao Hua took Yun Che’s Sumeru Ring before returning it, mostly empty, to Mo Lianxi.
• Green-robed Xiao Hua brought Mo Lianxi into the Kunlun Mirror’s illusion, where the Demon Emperors appeared to defeat Xiao Hua’s incarnations and lead their forces back into the Demon Formation.
• The Demon Formation Demon Spirit realized the battlefield was an illusion, but Demon Blade Shi split his pillar and Demon Spirit Xiao Hua dragged him into the Kunlun Mirror.
• Green-robed Xiao Hua’s Kunlun Mirror exposed the illusion and trapped Demon Emperor Qiong, while Demon Emperor Hong escaped through a spatial rift.
• Green-robed Xiao Hua struck Demon Emperor Qiong with the Kunlun Mirror, annihilating much of his demonic body, then sent its beam into the rift as a scream echoed from the void.

Xiao Hua and his incarnations defeated Demon Emperor Qiong and the Heavenly Demon, refined the elemental magnets with Wood Origin, and destroyed the demon formation. As they prepared to aid the Ruins in battle, a strange wave swept across the sky.

• Green-robed Xiao Hua trapped Demon Emperor Qiong with the Kunlun Mirror, while Mo Lianxi witnessed the Dream Mirage Butterfly’s illusions before Xiao Hua drew it into the mirror.
• The Heavenly Demon possessed Demon Emperor Qiong’s remaining body and attacked Xiao Hua as he refined the elemental magnets, but Wood Origin’s flames annihilated both demons and helped him complete the refinement.
• Xiao Hua and his incarnations absorbed Wood Origin to temper their bodies, while Mo Lianxi surveyed the ongoing war across the Ruins.
• Demon Spirit Xiao Hua consumed the demon formation and its pillar, exposing the Devil Race and restoring the light of the three suns over the land.
• After several dozen days, Xiao Hua found the Ruins’ forces gaining the upper hand and proposed that the incarnations attack the Devil Lords, but eerie fluctuations swept through the sky.

After the Primordial Starburst destroyed the devil formation, Xiao Hua used a Teleportation Array to leave Xu for Great Snow Mountain. Di Shitian followed through the array, with Yue Mingxin, Yang Haoya, and Huan Wuxin pursuing her, while a nameless being in the starry region headed toward the vanished passage.

• Soul Cultivator Xiao Hua sensed Great Snow Mountain's divine sense marker again, and Xiao Hua prepared to use the Nan Yuan Bei Zhe technique and a Teleportation Array.
• Xiao Hua warned Mo Lianxi about the Primordial Starburst, sent a message to Wu Tian, and entered the transmission passage after looking back toward Xu.
• Di Shitian reached the Teleportation Array, failed to reopen Xiao Hua's passage with her devil horn, and concealed a volatile treasure nearby before pretending to be helpless.
• Yue Mingxin, Yang Haoya, and Huan Wuxin attacked Di Shitian, but her hidden treasure exploded and severely injured them while breaking the restriction over the Teleportation Array.
• Di Shitian entered the Teleportation Array, and Yue Mingxin, Yang Haoya, and Huan Wuxin followed her through the passage.
• A nameless being stirred by the Heavenly Human White Bone tore open the void and headed toward the place where Xiao Hua's passage had vanished.

Xiao Hua's teleportation passage carried him into a temporal turbulent current, where he discovered a vast Time Light Knot and glimpsed the Three Great Continents within it. As his particle-like body neared a continental phantom, the Teleportation Array turned unstable and a diagram of light-shadows began to appear.

• Xiao Hua used the Great Universe Shifting Token and Nan Yuan Bei Zhe technique to travel toward Great Snow Mountain, but the divine sense marker stayed distant through hours of teleportation.
• The teleportation passage shook and stretched as Xiao Hua entered a temporal turbulent current, losing control of his body, magical power, and senses.
• Xiao Hua saw a strange knot of light and realized his body had broken into particles, recalling his earlier transformation and wondering whether it revealed the way to Light Escape.
• Xiao Hua found that the Time Light Knot contained enormous temporal currents and suspected the Three Great Continents lay within it, though he feared he might arrive at the wrong point in time.
• As Xiao Hua approached a phantom of the Three Great Continents, his 132 million particles trembled, the Teleportation Array became unstable, and a diagram of light-shadows faintly appeared.

Xiao Hua lost the Great Snow Mountain divine sense marker while crossing the chaotic current of time and forced his way into a continent, where his teleportation passage collapsed and hurled him into the mountains. He realized he had not arrived at the Great Snow Mountain and wondered whether he had returned to the Pure Land in a different era.

• Xiao Hua glimpsed a familiar figure holding a sword embryo beside a little black dog and a yellow mink before the image vanished into the torrent of time.
• Soul Cultivator Xiao Hua discovered that the divine sense marker had disappeared, so Xiao Hua tried to enter the Three Great Continents with the Nan Yuan Bei Zhe technique.
• Xiao Hua used his Eye of Delusion Breaking to break through a barrier and plunge into a continent's phantom, while Di Shitian, Yue Mingxin, Yang Haoya, and Huan Wuxin also entered a continent phantom.
• Xiao Hua's teleportation passage collapsed despite his efforts to stabilize it, and the force of its destruction hurled him from the sky into a mountain peak.
• Xiao Hua emerged from the rocks expecting to find the Great Snow Mountain, but the ancient, desolate landscape left him wondering whether he had arrived in a different time.

Xiao Hua realized he had returned not to the Pure Land but to a primordial Upper Realm, where a familiar starry sky awakened his memories and understanding of the Heavenly Dao. Faced with a powerful warning sign and no ordinary way back to the Three Great Continents, he suspected this realm was connected to the place where he had first cultivated.

• Xiao Hua discovered the landscape and dense Primordial Qi around him belonged to an ancient primordial realm, not the Pure Land he had sought.
• Xiao Hua mourned that he had traveled too far into the past to find Xin Xin or Fairy Hongxia, then gazed into the stars and experienced a flood of realizations that strengthened his cultivation.
• Xiao Hua sensed a terrifying distortion in the starry sky, returned to his body, and asked green-robed Xiao Hua whether anyone else could use their Void Teleportation Array.
• Green-robed Xiao Hua and Demon Spirit Xiao Hua reasoned that no one could have followed Xiao Hua through the array, but Xiao Hua feared an overwhelming heavenly danger and doubted he had time to wait for Demon Spirit Xiao Hua to grow stronger.
• Xiao Hua concluded that the familiar starry sky and his divine sense marker likely came from an Upper Realm where he had once cultivated, and that neither it nor Void could be reached from the Pure Land through an ordinary Teleportation Array.

Xiao Hua realized he could not yet return to the Pure Land, so he sent his avatars to build a more stable Teleportation Array while he investigated the mountain. He encountered a strange Stone Giant, rescued it from a fall, and watched it begin to weep fiery tears.

• Xiao Hua and his avatars discussed their inability to cross between realms, and green-robed Xiao Hua and Soul Cultivator Xiao Hua went to rebuild the Teleportation Array using dragon crystals.
• Xiao Hua spotted a huge, stone-skinned humanoid with one vertical eye climbing toward the hole where he had crashed.
• The Stone Giant widened the hole and tried to enter, and Xiao Hua asked whether it was looking for him.
• The Stone Giant panicked at Xiao Hua’s voice and attacked him with a fire dragon from its eye before slipping and falling down the mountainside.
• Xiao Hua caught the Stone Giant and set it on a ledge, where it recovered and began bawling fiery, lava-like tears.

Xiao Hua befriended a frightened little Stone Giant and met its protective parent, whose family spoke only the words “So, so.” As they traveled through the mountains, a monstrous bird attacked the Stone Giants with corrosive black droplets.

• Xiao Hua realized the injured Stone Giant was a child, returned its severed finger, and gave it Fire Qi Stones.
• The little Stone Giant called out, and a much larger Stone Giant arrived, comforted it, and thanked Xiao Hua after learning he had helped.
• The parent Stone Giant refused Xiao Hua’s offer of more Fire Qi Stones, carried its sleeping child, and led Xiao Hua down the mountain.
• The Stone Giant ran through the valley and grew wary near a ruined foothill.
• A monstrous bird swooped down, tore apart the Stone Giant’s fire attack, and showered both Stone Giants with corrosive black droplets.

Xiao Hua helped the Stone Giant and little Stone Giant escape a flock of corrosive strange birds, then encountered a golden-armored child as a mysterious seven-colored glow stirred powerful Primordial Chaos might across the continent. With the Stone Giants and child pinned down by the pressure, Xiao Hua summoned Dragon Vein Xiao Hua and Phoenix Body Xiao Hua to handle matters while he attended to something else.

• A flock of strange birds attacked the Stone Giant and little Stone Giant, and the Stone Giant fought back with boulders and a pillar of fire.
• When the birds cornered the Stone Giants at a cliff, Xiao Hua raised a curtain of flame that drove the flock away.
• The Stone Giant beckoned Xiao Hua to follow, but a golden-armored child approached, and the Stone Giant trembled at the sight of him.
• A seven-colored glow appeared on the distant horizon, and surging Primordial Chaos might forced the golden-armored child and Stone Giants to the ground.
• Xiao Hua resisted the pressure, then summoned Dragon Vein Xiao Hua and Phoenix Body Xiao Hua to deal with the situation while he left to attend to other matters.

Xiao Hua escorted a Stone Giant and its child home, then discovered their home lay in a vast underground lava cavern. He learned that Fire Qi Stones were food for the Stone Giants and was welcomed into their community.

• Xiao Hua waited until the golden-armored fellow fled, then followed the Stone Giant and its child toward the vermilion mountains.
• The Stone Giant led Xiao Hua to its lava home and offered him mid-grade Fire Qi Stones in gratitude for saving the child.
• After Xiao Hua showed the Stone Giant his top-grade Qi Stones, a larger Stone Giant inspected them and invited him into the lava cavern.
• The Stone Giants carried Xiao Hua through the lava to a cavern hundreds of li wide and set him on a flaming rock.
• A weakened Stone Giant emerged from the lava, and another Stone Giant fed it Qi Stones, leading Xiao Hua to realize that the stones were their food.

Xiao Hua discovered that the Stone Giants’ repeated words were attempts to recite “Namo Maitreya Buddha,” and he gave them a vast offering of Fire Qi Stones. He followed their elder into the magma’s depths and found a Buddha statue that he recognized as Jiang Liuer.

• Xiao Hua offered the little Stone Giant a Qi Stone, then realized the Stone Giants treasured the scarce stones as food.
• An elder Stone Giant emerged from the magma reciting “Namo Maitreya Buddha,” and Xiao Hua understood the other Stone Giants’ repeated syllables.
• Xiao Hua created tens of thousands of Fire Qi Stones and gave them to the Stone Giants, who gathered the stones from the magma.
• The elder led Xiao Hua through the magma to a deep cavity and prostrated itself before a small Buddha niche.
• Xiao Hua saw the statue in the niche and recognized it as Jiang Liuer.

Xiao Hua discovered that Jiang Liuer was the true reincarnation of Namo Maitreya Buddha and realized he and Buddha Bodhi had taken the destiny meant for him. Buddha Bodhi chose to leave that fruition to Jiang Liuer and instead vowed to guide the demon lords, while the old Stone Giant showed him unexpected devotion.

• Xiao Hua recognized the Buddha statue in the stone niche as Jiang Liuer and summoned Buddha Bodhi, who confirmed that Jiang Liuer was the true reincarnation of Namo Maitreya Buddha.
• Xiao Hua and Buddha Bodhi concluded that Xiao Hua had taken the Baye Linglong Pagoda and Buddhist destiny meant for Jiang Liuer, and they discussed how the old monk at Great Snow Mountain had mistaken Xiao Hua for the person he awaited.
• Buddha Bodhi agreed that they should not take Jiang Liuer's Buddha fruition and said he could abandon his own attainment for their familial bond.
• The old Stone Giant saw Buddha Bodhi, chanted Namo Maitreya Buddha, and knelt before him, giving him a trace of the power of faith.
• Buddha Bodhi declined to spread Buddhism among the humans of Shenhua Continent and vowed instead to guide Xiao Hua's demon lords, which led Xiao Hua to address him as Master.
