Chapter Summaries

Shiheng left the depths of the Demonic Grotto after three years of cultivation and gave Ryder and Linor Other Shore Divine Fruits, which helped them break through to become Lowgods. As the siblings began transforming, the Seven-Star Fiend Oakes Redding appeared and focused on Shiheng’s death blade.

• Shiheng emerged from the grotto’s core after raising his death law to forty-nine point nine layers and witnessing the rebirth of his divine blade.
• Shiheng found Ryder and Linor still at the Saint Pinnacle and explained the power and one-fruit limit of the Other Shore Divine Fruits.
• Shiheng gave one fruit each to Ryder and Linor, keeping the remaining four for his future cultivation.
• Ryder and Linor consumed the fruits and, ten days later, broke through to become Lowgods of death law.
• Oakes Redding arrived with the pressure of a Seven-Star Fiend, spotted Shiheng’s death blade, and addressed him.

After twenty years of secluded cultivation, Shiheng completely fused the laws of fate, destruction, and death, transforming his combat strength and gaining the means to protect his companions and escape Purgatory. He emerged ready to face the dangers ahead, though the promised chance to leave still lay decades in the future.

• Oakes told Shiheng that he had reached the middle Seven-Star Fiend stage and warned him to become a Seven-Star Fiend before the Other Shore Flower Escort Mission in a few decades.
• Shiheng and his four bodies entered deep seclusion to refine and fuse their variant laws, aided by the Other Shore Flower's remnant soul and the Human Race's faith flame.
• After twenty years, Shiheng completely fused the laws of fate, destruction, and death, but received no willpower might because he had not reached the Highgod realm.
• Shiheng's combat strength rose to the peak Seven-Star Fiend level, while his supreme divine ability could raise it to the Seven-Star Fiend limit.
• Shiheng's four battle blades gained the power to trap and kill a peak Seven-Star Fiend, and the Death Battle Blade became a supreme divine soul defensive treasure.

After completing his fused laws and reaching peak Seven-Star Fiend strength, Shiheng learned that Oakes Redding was an Azure Dragon Clan survivor imprisoned in the Demonic Grotto. Oakes prepared him for a dangerous escape during the Other Shore Flower Escort Mission, but Shiheng realized that Oakes was likely doomed and that the mission might be a trap.

• Shiheng finished refining his combat abilities after fusing the laws of Fate, Destruction, and Death, bringing his ordinary strength to the peak of the Seven-Star Fiend level.
• Oakes Redding visited Shiheng and revealed that he was a direct-line member of the Azure Dragon Clan, whose Water Element branch had been captured and imprisoned in the Demonic Grotto.
• Oakes explained that the Other Shore Flower Escort Mission would be their only chance to escape, and that they planned to kill the two Seven-Star Fiends guarding it before fleeing to Indigo Prefecture.
• Oakes gave Shiheng a drop of Sovereign's Might and a letter for his father, Gaiseresen Redding, asking him to deliver it if Oakes died.
• Shiheng recognized Gaiseresen Redding's name and realized that Oakes had no chance of surviving and that the escape mission was likely a certain-death trap.

Shiheng warned Oakes that Fate Laws had revealed a Peak Asura ambush on their planned escape route, concealing the truth that Oakes’s outside allies were already dead. Oakes revised their breakout plan and chose the Life Plane as their destination, while Shiheng faced the next day’s battle knowing their hopes rested on a single desperate attempt.

• Shiheng hid his knowledge of the Azure Dragon Clan’s ruin and used a supposed vision from the Fate Laws to warn Oakes of a Peak Asura ambush near Blood Peak Continent.
• Oakes overcame his panic and ordered a revised breakout plan: he would engage the two Seven-Star Fiends while Shiheng attacked, and his remaining Five-Star Fiends would protect Ryder and Linor and reach the Cross-boundary Teleportation Array.
• Oakes abandoned Blood Peak Continent and chose the Life Plane, hoping his Peak Asura uncle by marriage would shelter them there.
• Shiheng knew Oakes’s uncle by marriage had died ten thousand years earlier and realized that the group’s allies and fallback plans had already vanished.
• Shiheng resolved to fight in the next day’s breakout for his own survival, his family, and Ryder and Linor, knowing they would either escape or die in Purgatory.

After Shiheng revealed a hidden ambush that would have destroyed the escape party, Oakes prepared everyone to rest before the Other Shore Flower Escort Mission. Shiheng reached his peak condition, knowing the escape route held deadly traps and that he alone understood the full danger as the battle began.

• Oakes thanked Shiheng for uncovering the ambush and acknowledged him as the party’s best chance of survival.
• Shiheng told Oakes that everyone should rest and prepare to fight together the next day.
• Oakes ordered the two remaining Azure Dragon clansmen to rest and protect Ryder and Linor during the battle, evacuating them if necessary.
• Shiheng stayed motionless through the night, leaving his Other Shore Flower Fruits and Sovereign’s Might untouched while restoring his strength.
• The others rested as the thousand-year escort mission approached, unaware of the concealed Peak Asura ambush and the lost reception on the Life Plane.
• At dawn, Shiheng prepared to break through the traps and face the two Seven-Star Fiends and the hidden Asura as the battle began.

Shiheng and Oakes prepared to ambush the escort carrying the other shore flowers, despite facing four Seven-Star Fiends and having their retreat sealed. They blended into the escort and approached a void rift that could briefly blind the monitoring restrictions, where the ambush was about to begin.

• Oakes warned Shiheng that four Seven-Star Fiends guarded the escort and that the Demon Race had sealed the backup passage.

• Oakes planned to pin down the two veteran native fiends while Shiheng occupied the two Overgod descendants.
• Shiheng and Oakes concealed their strength and joined the Demon Race crowd accompanying the other shore flower prison wagon.
• Oakes identified a natural void rift as their sole chance to strike, and the escort entered its sensory-obscuring gales.

Oakes revealed his Azure Dragon transformation, two Seven-Star Divine Clones, and Sovereign’s Might as he fought the Demonic Grotto’s veteran guards, while Shiheng unleashed his four-element fusion power to hold off two Overgod descendants. The allies remained surrounded but fought to reach the Cross-boundary Teleportation Array and escape Hell before reinforcements arrived.

• Oakes erupted into his full Azure Dragon transformation and revealed that his Death and Water Element Divine Clones had both reached Seven-Star Fiend strength.
• Oakes activated two drops of Sovereign’s Might and charged the two local Seven-Star Fiend guest elders, while Shiheng unleashed his four-element fusion power against two direct Overgod descendants.

• Oakes’s empowered attacks overwhelmed the two local guards, leaving one badly injured and their defeat seemingly inevitable.
• Shiheng and Oakes continued fighting despite being surrounded, aiming to reach the teleportation array and escape Hell before reinforcements arrived.

Shiheng and Oakes fought the Demonic Grotto’s Seven-Star Fiends while trying to reach the Cross-boundary Teleportation Array, but an Early Asura-level Demon Race powerhouse awakened and headed for the battlefield. Oakes weakened one veteran guest elder, allowing Shiheng to unleash his full strength and kill him, as the threat of the arriving Asura loomed.

• Shiheng held off two peak Seven-Star Fiends of the Demon Race’s direct lineage while Oakes struggled to break through the defenses of two veteran guest elders.
• The Demon Race’s eldest direct-lineage grandson sensed the battle, recognized its Early Asura-level power, and rushed toward the battlefield.
• Shiheng and Oakes realized that the arriving Asura would leave them little chance to escape, and Shiheng abandoned his restrained tactics.
• Oakes struck one veteran guest elder with a killing blow that left him gravely wounded and unable to fight.
• Shiheng summoned his hundred-thousand-foot true body, endured the two direct-lineage fiends’ attacks, and killed the wounded guest elder with his blade technique, Curtain.

Shiheng and Oakes defeated the two veteran Seven-Star Fiends blocking their escape, then fled toward the Cross-boundary Teleportation Array as an Early Asura Stage powerhouse closed in. The Demon Race descendants pursued them under orders to stop the prisoners from escaping Hell's Demonic Grotto.

• Shiheng killed one local guest elder, allowing Oakes to focus both Divine Clones on the remaining Seven-Star Fiend while Shiheng held off two Demon Race descendants.
• After a prolonged fight, Oakes's Water Clone exploited an opening and killed the second local guest elder.
• Oakes and Shiheng tried to kill a Demon Race descendant but realized Sovereign's Might kept healing their enemies, so Oakes ordered them to flee for the Teleportation Array.
• The approaching Early Asura Stage powerhouse ordered the two descendants to hold the prisoners back, and they renewed their pursuit with their remaining Sovereign's Might.
• Shiheng and Oakes raced toward the Teleportation Array, with Oakes's Divine Clones guarding their rear as the pursuers closed in.

Shiheng and Oakes killed the two Demon Race descendants after exhausting their strength, then raced toward the Cross-boundary Teleportation Array. The Demon Race Overgod's eldest grandson, an Early Asura Stage powerhouse, arrived and blocked their escape.

• Shiheng and Oakes fought the two Demon Race descendants after their Sovereign's Might ran out, while the Asura powerhouse rapidly approached.
• Shiheng unleashed his full power and killed one pursuer, but the enemy's dying counterattack shattered his Heavenly Manifestation true body and left him gravely wounded.
• Oakes used his Azure Dragon transformation and two Seven-Star clones to kill the other descendant at the cost of severe injuries.
• Shiheng and Oakes looted the fallen enemies and burned their remaining divine power to race toward the Cross-boundary Teleportation Array.
• The Demon Race Overgod's eldest grandson arrived as an Early Asura Stage powerhouse and sealed off every route to the array, leaving Shiheng and Oakes trapped.

Oakes and Shiheng found the Cross-boundary Teleportation Array blocked by a Demon Race Asura, who recognized Shiheng as the killer of his younger brother. Oakes sacrificed his chance to escape and fought alongside Shiheng, but the Asura effortlessly stopped their attacks and left Shiheng dying.

• The Asura struck Oakes and Shiheng with lethal attacks; Sovereign's Might helped Oakes endure, while Shiheng was hurled away, gravely wounded and barely alive.
• The Asura declared that the game was over as he approached the two dying fighters.

Shiheng reached the Cross-boundary Teleportation Array while the Demon Race Asura pursued him, and Oakes sacrificed his Water Element Divine Clone to hold the enemy back. Oakes’s clone was destroyed and he fell unconscious, leaving Shiheng with the urgent task of protecting Oakes’s true body and escaping.

• Shiheng was hurled toward the Cross-boundary Teleportation Array after the Asura shattered his Heavenly Manifestation true form.

• Oakes’s Water Element Divine Clone was annihilated except for its head and divine spark, and his soul fell into a deep coma.
• Oakes’s fading thought urged Shiheng to take the Death Clone, protect his true body, and return to the clan.

Shiheng used his last Sovereign's Might to recover and carry Oakes's Death Clone and Water Element head into the Cross-boundary Teleportation Array. After surviving an attack from the Demon Race Asura with Oakes's Dragon Roar, they escaped Hell and arrived in the Life God Realm, while their pursuer vowed to hunt them down.

• Shiheng unleashed his remaining Sovereign's Might, healed his injuries, and carried Oakes's Death Clone and Water Element head into the Teleportation Array.
• The Demon Race Asura attacked the array with a Sovereign Artifact as it began to activate.
• Oakes's Saint Domain True Body triggered the Azure Dragon innate ability, Dragon Roar, briefly freezing the void and helping Shiheng survive the strike.

• The Demon Race Asura vowed to pursue them, while Shiheng arrived with Oakes in the Life God Realm.

Oakes and Shiheng arrived in the Life God Realm with four companions after ten thousand years of flight and battles in Hell. Their overwhelming power silenced the plaza guards, leaving the group undisturbed as they entered the new Plane.

• Oakes, Shiheng, and four others emerged from the cross-world passage onto the teleportation plaza outside Azure Nether City.
• The Life God Realm's abundant Life Divine Power washed over the arrivals and eased their accumulated exhaustion and injuries.
• The prefectural commander stepped forward to check the group's passage contracts and record their origins.
• Oakes's Seven-Star Fiend Death Law Divine Clone and Shiheng's damaged Heavenly Manifestation released terrifying auras across the plaza.
• The ordinary Highgod guards withdrew their Divine Power, bowed, and silently retreated to the plaza's sides.

Ryder and Linor broke through to Life Lowgod in the Life God Realm, while Shiheng advanced to Midgod in all four origin elements and gained a Highgod-level physical foundation. The six arrived safely and stood ready to begin their new lives in the realm, as Oakes remained unaware that the Azure Dragon Clan’s prospects for revenge were bleak.

• Ryder broke through the Saint Limit and became a Life Lowgod with External Godhood.
• Linor followed, becoming a Life Lowgod as the siblings’ ascensions filled the plaza with life divine power.
• Shiheng used the gathered power to advance his Life Laws to Midgod, balancing all four origin powers at Midgod and elevating his body and Life-Bound Battle Blades.
• Oakes mistook the Azure Dragon clansmen’s congratulations for recognition of a Life Laws avatar, then vowed to avenge his ten-thousand-year imprisonment despite the Azure Dragon Clan’s decline.
• The six arrived safely in the Life God Realm, and Ryder and Linor stabilized their new cultivation as the group stood in the teleportation plaza.

Ryder and Linor completed their breakthroughs as life Lowgods, while Shiheng stabilized his four-law Midgod foundation. After learning Azure Nether City's laws, the group set off for Biyou Main City to recover from their injuries and depleted divine power.

• Oakes used his remaining Death Law Clone and life metal to carry the group toward Biyou Main City.

Oakes transported Shiheng and his companions toward Azure Nether City while they recovered, unaware that an enraged Demon Race Asura was pursuing Kailin, Kaiser, and their companions in the western Life God Realm. Kaiser and Kailin fled after the Asura slaughtered the Elves who had helped them, and their fate remained uncertain.

• Oakes summoned a golden Metal Lifeform and ordered Shiheng, Ryder, Laini, and the Azure Dragon Clan members to board and recuperate.
• The Metal Lifeform carried the exhausted group toward Azure Nether City as they rested inside its cabin.
• Kailin had gained Seven-Star strength after obtaining the Life Essence Fruit in an Ancient Secret Realm, where she and the other Elves killed the Demon Race Asura's favored concubine and her forces.
• The Demon Race Asura pursued the Elves after they left the Secret Realm, seeking revenge and the lost treasure.
• The Asura slaughtered numerous young Elves, while wounded Kaiser protected Kailin as they fled through the sky.

A veteran Elven elder sacrificed himself to help Kaiser and Kailin escape the Demon Race Asura, who abandoned the pursuit after receiving an urgent message about Shiheng and the stolen Other Shore Flowers. Kaiser and Kailin survived but mourned their kin, unaware that Shiheng and his group had become the Asura’s next targets.

• The Elven elder detonated his Divine Soul and cultivation, forcing the Demon Race Asura back and opening an escape route for Kaiser and Kailin.
• Kaiser urged Kailin to flee, and she resolved to endure so the elder’s sacrifice would not be wasted.

• The Demon Race Asura chose to pursue Shiheng instead of Kaiser and Kailin, threatening to settle accounts with the Elves later.
• Kaiser and Kailin escaped and mourned their fallen kin, unaware that Shiheng and his group were traveling toward Azure Nether City and now faced the Asura’s pursuit.

Kailin and Kaiser survived an attack by a Demon Race Asura, and Kailin reflected on why she had chosen the Life God Realm over Hell after leaving Yulan. The chapter left her recalling that the mystery of her bloodline’s call began to turn in her tenth year there.

• The Asura-level pressure and demonic aura vanished, allowing Kailin and Kaiser to stop fleeing.
• Kailin recovered from the terror of nearly dying while Kaiser stood beside her, gravely wounded.
• Kailin remembered that she alone among the Yulan experts had chosen the Life God Realm instead of following the others to Hell.
• Kailin recalled her early confusion about her aversion to Hell and her strong affinity for the Life God Realm.
• Kailin remembered that the mystery of her bloodline’s call reached a turning point in her tenth year in the Life God Realm.

Kailin learned from an ancient Elves elder that she carried the vanished Supreme Elves Bloodline of the First-Generation Elves Asura. The story left her past revealed as the child who survived his death on the Yulan Continent and eventually became its High Priest.

• An ancient Elves elder recognized Kailin’s pure Supreme Elves Bloodline and questioned her about her origins.
• Kailin told the elder that she came from the Yulan Continent and had been the High Priest of the Yulan Empire.
