An early Asura expert of the Demon Race took control of Demon City after the prefect of Heaven-Breaking Prefecture compensated him for his brother’s death. He ended the frontier’s ten-year conflict by forcing the four regional leaders to submit, while the Human Race tribes remained unaware of the danger approaching them.

The Sakura Tribe’s five hundred thousand Dwarf troops reached Blackstone, threatening to annihilate the newly united Human Race. As the Dwarfs prepared to attack, Shiheng stepped forward and vowed to defend Blackstone, leaving the battle about to begin.

• The Sakura Tribe leader learned that an Asura expert had unified the frontier and ordered his army recalled, then set out for the Blackstone Tribe himself.
• The Human Race completed its union at Blackstone, counting only five hundred thirty thousand survivors and twenty Highgods among its remaining strength.

Shiheng unleashed his full power and slaughtered the Sakura Tribe’s five-hundred-thousand-strong Dwarf army, protecting the Human Race of the frontier. After absorbing the battlefield’s energy, his Laws of Destruction broke through to the Midgod level.

• Shiheng absorbed the battlefield’s scattered energy, and his Laws of Destruction broke through to the Midgod level.

After Shiheng annihilated the Sakura Tribe’s 500,000-strong army, the Sakura Tribe chief arrived and unleashed a devastating attack while Shiheng was weakened by his breakthrough. The chief overwhelmed the human defenders and powered up to near Seven-Star strength, leaving the Blackstone Territory facing annihilation.

Shiheng’s four Life-Bound Battle Blades trapped the Sakura chief while Shiheng ordered the Human Race to flee Demon City’s territory. After the humans evacuated, Shiheng remained alone to face the imprisoned chief, and their battle was still unresolved.

• Shiheng’s four Life-Bound Battle Blades broke free and sealed the Sakura chief in a Four-Sided Blade Domain.

• All 530,000 humans fled the wasteland safely while Shiheng and the Sakura Tribe chief remained behind.
• Shiheng's weakened cultivation caused the Four-Star Blade Formation to collapse, freeing the chief and badly damaging Shiheng's four Life-Bound Battle Blades.
• Shiheng fought the chief for six hours, enduring his superior strength as his body, Heavenly Manifestation, and blades steadily failed.

• The Sakura Tribe chief died, and Shiheng collapsed into a deep crater, unconscious and gravely injured, while his damaged blades returned to his body.

The Asura City Lord searched the Demon City of Reception frontier for evidence concerning his younger brother’s death and found its human settlements deserted. At the Blackstone Tribe’s wasteland, he captured the unconscious Shiheng and declared that he had exterminated the frontier Human Race, turning a fabricated victory into an official record.

• The Asura City Lord and his maid searched the frontier and found the human tribes abandoned, with their people gone.
• At the Blackstone Tribe’s wasteland, the maid found no survivors, while the City Lord detected a buried Highgod Divine Core and Shiheng’s faint life force.
• The City Lord ordered the maid to seal Shiheng and take him alive as evidence for his claim that he had destroyed the frontier Human Race.
• The maid bound the unconscious Shiheng and placed him in a void demonic casket, while the City Lord collected the Highgod Divine Core.
• The City Lord proclaimed that he had avenged his family and exterminated humanity, then left with the maid and Shiheng as the false account was entered into official records.

The Asura City Lord declared the frontier case settled and left for Heaven-Breaking Prefecture with Shiheng imprisoned in a Void Demon Box. He reached the Supreme Overgod Hall, carrying his captive and the Highgod Divine Core as evidence of his supposed victory.

• The Asura City Lord concluded that the Human Race had been exterminated and kept the dying Shiheng sealed inside a Void Demon Box held by his maid.
• The Asura City Lord took the Highgod Divine Core and rejected returning to the Demon City of Reception, intending to report the case to his family.

• Demons and stationed forces bowed and moved aside as the Asura City Lord traveled through Hell's core.
• The Asura City Lord and his maid entered Heaven-Breaking Prefecture and proceeded directly to the Supreme Overgod Hall.

The Asura City Lord deceived his grandfather, the Overgod, by claiming he had exterminated the Human Race and avenged his brother, presenting the unconscious Shiheng and a Highgod Divine Core as proof. The Overgod accepted his account and released him from frontier duty, while Shiheng remained imprisoned and the truth was buried.

• The Asura City Lord reported to the Overgod that the Human Race had killed his tenth younger brother and that he had destroyed the human tribes and ended the frontier unrest.
• The Asura City Lord presented the unconscious Shiheng and a Highgod Divine Core as evidence, hiding the humans’ migration and the truth of the battle.
• The Overgod approved the Asura City Lord’s service and ordered him to return to the family in Heaven-Breaking Prefecture.
• The Asura City Lord accepted the decree, securing his release from frontier duty as his false account became the official history.
• Shiheng remained imprisoned in the supreme divine temple, his sacrifice for the Human Race concealed.

The Asura city lord planned to execute Shiheng, but the Overgod’s son ordered him sent to the Death Demon Cavern to harvest Death Otherworld Flowers, condemning him to a slow death. The chapter ended with Shiheng still sealed inside a Void Demon Box floating at the cavern’s outskirts.

• After three years, the Asura city lord prepared an execution order to kill Shiheng and erase the last witness to the frontier events.
• The Overgod’s son ordered Shiheng sent to the Death Demon Cavern as a penal laborer harvesting Death Otherworld Flowers.
• The Asura city lord accepted the decree, seeing the cavern as a way to keep Shiheng from exposing the truth while he slowly perished.
• At the cavern’s death-filled outskirts, Shiheng’s Void Demon Box floated silently in the darkness.

After three years in the Void Demon Box, Shiheng awoke with his divine soul and body greatly strengthened by the prison’s suppression. The divine race sent him to the Death Demon Cavern to serve a sentence, but he recognized its deathly energy as an opportunity to cultivate the death law and advance his Dao.

• During three years of confinement, Shiheng’s cultivation art healed his injuries and tempered his divine soul and body to the Highgod soul and peak Midgod physical level.
• Shiheng awakened and remembered his battles on the Blackstone Wasteland, the destruction of the Dwarf Race expeditionary army, and the escape of his kin.
• The restraints on the Void Demon Box loosened, and deathly energy poured inside as two Demon Race prison guards bound Shiheng with demonic patterns.
• The prison guards ordered Shiheng to labor eternally harvesting Death Otherworld Flowers in the Death Demon Cavern and threatened to annihilate his divine soul if he disobeyed.
• Shiheng recognized the cavern’s deathly energy as a chance to comprehend the death law and strengthen his cultivation.

Shiheng entered the Death Demon Cavern and was assigned to a hostile group of Midgod laborers who resented the increased risks his arrival brought. He calmly accepted the harsh work, treating the cavern as a place to strengthen himself and complete his Death Law before escaping and challenging the Demon Domain.

• Shiheng entered the Death Demon Cavern, where gods of many races were forced to harvest Other Shore Flowers under the watch of Highgod overseers.
• The prison guards assigned Shiheng to the Tenth Labor Group, whose nine Midgod members feared his arrival would push their work into more dangerous areas.
• The laborers mocked and isolated Shiheng, deliberately leaving him the most hazardous harvesting grounds.
• Shiheng ignored their hostility and calmly gathered Other Shore Flowers in the thick death energy.
• Shiheng resolved to use the cavern to temper his Dao Heart, complete his Death Law, break free, and confront the Demon Domain.

Shiheng used his extraordinary divine soul and body to refine the Demonic Grotto’s death energy and safely draw purified essence from the Other Shore Flowers, strengthening his laws and approaching a breakthrough in the Death Law. Make and the nine Midgods remained unaware of the source of his ability, while Shiheng resolved to turn his imprisonment into cultivation.

• Make repeatedly probed Shiheng but could not uncover his foundations, while the nine Midgods watched in disbelief as Shiheng endured the dense death energy.
• Shiheng used his Four-System Mutated Divine Soul to filter the Other Shore Flowers’ essence and slowly nourish his Death Law without absorbing the flowers directly.
• Make chose not to report Shiheng’s unexplained abilities and ordered the prisoners to work faster before flying away.
• The nine Midgods abandoned their schemes against Shiheng and worked silently in the safer area, fearing his strength.
• Shiheng continued cultivating in the dangerous terrain as his four laws grew stronger, his injuries healed, and a breakthrough in the Death Law drew near.
• Shiheng looked toward the depths of the Demonic Grotto and resolved to make the punishment imposed by Heaven-Breaking Prefecture, Asura City Lord, and the God Race into an opportunity to grow stronger.

After ten years in the Death Demon Cavern, Shiheng used its deathly energy to perfect his laws and conceal his growth while the other prisoners deteriorated. He finally broke through the death law to level thirty, reaching the middle-to-late Midgod realm as a vast pressure swept across the Chaotic Stone Perilous Lands.

• Two veteran Midgods in the Tenth Labor Group perished as the cavern's deathly energy shattered their Divine Souls and Dao Foundations.
• The seven surviving prisoners continued their labor in despair, unaware of the transformation brewing in the Chaotic Stone Perilous Lands.
• Shiheng spent ten years cultivating his four origin variant laws and fusing death, destruction, and fate while hiding his strength.
• After his accumulated Dao resonance became impossible to suppress, Shiheng broke through the Lowgod bottleneck and advanced his death law to level twenty.
• Shiheng's death law surged through multiple levels and settled at level thirty, while his overwhelming pressure spread across the Chaotic Stone Perilous Lands.

After ten years of hidden cultivation in Purgatory, Shiheng advanced his Death Law to Midgod level but remained far weaker than the God Domain’s great powers. He concealed his breakthrough and committed to another ninety years of cultivation before pursuing revenge.

• Shiheng’s Death Law reached the thirtieth layer and firmly entered Midgod level, while his other laws and their fusion remained incomplete.
• Make sensed Shiheng’s breakthrough but dismissed it as a minor improvement by a prisoner.
• Shiheng sealed away every sign of his advancement and blended back in with the laborers.
• Shiheng decided to spend the remaining ninety years of his planned century in Purgatory honing and fusing his four laws before confronting his enemies.

After reaching the thirtieth layer of the Midgod realm, Shiheng concealed his breakthrough and continued laboring unnoticed in the Death Demon Cavern. Two human Midgods arrived and were isolated by the veteran prisoners, leaving them unable to meet their quota and facing soul scourging as Shiheng watched and pondered.

• Shiheng hid the power of his breakthrough while continuing to pick other shore flowers as before.
• Two human Midgods fell into the labor valley, and Shiheng recognized them as members of his race.
• The seven veteran Midgods claimed the safer work areas and forced the newcomers into the dangerous rocky terrain.
• The two newcomers struggled through the deathly energy and gathered far fewer flowers than the required quota.
• Shiheng watched the newcomers face the coming punishment of soul scourging and pondered what to do.

Shiheng secretly gave two newly arrived human Midgods enough Other Shore Flowers to meet their quotas and avoid soul-whipping. He returned to watching over the Demonic Grotto in silence, concealing his strength as he patiently awaited a chance to escape.

• Shiheng used his decade of secret stockpiling to send mature Other Shore Flowers through the black mist to the two desperate human Midgods.
• Shiheng quietly told the newcomers to hand in the flowers and meet their quotas to avoid punishment.
• The two human Midgods gathered the flowers and submitted them, while the nearby veteran prisoners noticed nothing.
• Shiheng withdrew his gaze and continued to hide his power as night fell over the Demonic Grotto.
