Chapter Summaries

Shiheng’s grief over Kailin’s death and the Human Race’s long history of persecution drove him to abandon restraint and resolve to annihilate the other races of the Lingmeng Continent. As the continent’s inhabitants remained unaware, he stopped the auction and declared his intent to slaughter every nonhuman race.

• Shiheng recalled Kailin’s death and the Human Race’s history of enslavement and slaughter, and his remaining goodwill and reason gave way to murderous resolve.
• Across the Lingmeng Continent, ordinary beings carried on with their lives while a human tribe’s elders discussed worsening attacks and feared their famed Asura powerhouse had fallen.
• The Demon Race’s chief had secretly directed fiends to target humans after believing Shiheng would die in the Life Secret Realm, leading to the destruction of a great human tribe and the abduction of its princess sisters.
• Shiheng rose at the auction, froze the venue, and announced that he would slaughter every race of Lingmeng to avenge the Human Race.

Shiheng killed Young Master Luo when he tried to molest the shackled human princess, then confronted the auction president, who accused him of violating Life God City's ban on fighting. Shiheng defended his actions and dared the president to try to cripple and imprison him.

• Young Master Luo collected the human princess from the auction and tried to touch her in public.
• Shiheng warned Young Master Luo to stop, then erased him with the Destruction Laws when he reached for the princess.

• Shiheng argued that he had protected an innocent person and told the president to try to punish him.

Shiheng used the Human Emperor Banner to annihilate the Six-Star Fiend auction chairman after the chairman attacked him. He freed the Human Race’s eldest princess and waited for the Seven-Star Fiend city lord to arrive, intending to confront everyone who had oppressed the Human Race.

Shiheng freed Ailiya and Lina Nordson from their enslavement in Life God City and rejected their plan to sacrifice themselves so he could escape. As the city’s ruler and army surrounded them and a commander mocked the massacre of humans, Shiheng prepared to make the city pay for humanity’s suffering.

• Shiheng erased the slave seals on Ailiya and Lina, restoring their cultivation and revealing their history of humanity’s oppression.

• Shiheng decided to go to the teleportation array and confront the attackers, confident that his strength had surpassed Paragon.

Shiheng uncovered the myriad races’ plot to exterminate the Human Race, consumed Losas, and let Ailiya and Lina avenge their people in the ruins of Life God City. After absorbing the city’s immense power, he spread his Divine Soul and Blade Domain across Lingmeng Continent and unleashed his sealed Slaughter Dao Heart and Destruction Laws.

• Shiheng’s Soul Search revealed that the ten prefectures had allied to ambush him and destroy the Human Race, while Losas’s Divine Soul was left shattered by the exposure of his secrets.
• Shiheng sent Losas into the Human Emperor Banner, which devoured and refined the peak Seven-Star Fiend’s Divine Soul, Laws, and accumulated power.

• Shiheng’s suppressed Slaughter Dao Heart and Destruction Laws broke free, leaving him resolved to slaughter the myriad races and secure peace for the Human Race.

• Shiheng used his Four Blades and Divine Soul to seal the continent, then announced that all nonhuman Midgods and stronger would be exterminated, sparing only the Elves Race.

• Shiheng’s proclamation awakened the Ancient Divine Turtle beneath the Eternal Forbidden Land, which erupted from its ancient slumber in anger.
• The Blood-Slaughter Dragon awoke in the Netherworld Cold Pool and unleashed deadly cold across the far north, while the Wandering Old Saint at the Ancient Pavilion of Time examined Shiheng’s unfamiliar power.
• Shiheng faced the emergence of the three hidden powers without hesitation and vowed to kill anyone who stood in the way of the Human Race’s revival.

Shiheng detected Sailos and Oakes trapped by the Different Races and prepared to intervene. After Sailos’s desperate attack failed to break the encirclement, Shiheng appeared as the World Destruction array locked onto the enemies across the Lingmeng Continent.

• Shiheng sensed the battle near the Teleportation Array and recognized Oakes and his companions amid the fighting.
• Thirteen Asuras and nearly a hundred Seven-Star Fiends surrounded Sailos, Oakes, and the eight Azure Dragon elders, intending to use them as bait for Shiheng.
• Sailos told Oakes to escape while he unleashed his strongest innate divine ability, but his attack only grievously wounded three Asuras and left him powerless.
• Oakes and the elders tried to reach the Teleportation Array, but the Four Peerless War Blades had sealed the region and blocked their escape.
• As the Asuras prepared to kill Sailos and capture Oakes’s group, Shiheng appeared, and the World Destruction array locked onto the Different Races across the continent.

Shiheng unleashed a world-destroying formation across the Lingmeng Continent, annihilating its inhabitants and overwhelming the Asura and allied armies that had set a trap for him. As the continent’s defenders faced extinction, the Three Great Forbidden Lands broke their ancient seals.

• Shiheng activated the world-destroying formation, combining the Four Laws, the Human Emperor Banner, and the four peerless war blades to scour the Lingmeng Continent and void.
• The formation killed the Overgod Army, bandits, and countless members of the Different Races, destroying their cities, temples, and strongholds.
• Thirteen Asura great powers and nearly a hundred Seven-Star Fiends failed to stop the formation, and many were left gravely wounded or near death.
• Sailos, Oakes, and the eight Azure Dragon elders watched the devastation and realized Shiheng could bury every race that threatened the Human Race.
• As the surviving forces across the continent struggled in vain against the slaughter, the Three Great Forbidden Lands broke their seals simultaneously.

Three ancient Half-step Paragon powers emerged to defend Lingmeng Continent from Shiheng’s World Destruction Grand Array, but its source-draining cycle continued to strengthen him as countless beings died. The three defenders identified the Human Emperor Banner as the array’s core, yet Shiheng doubled the array’s speed and drove their reserves toward exhaustion.

• The Primordial Earth-vein Divine Tortoise, the Blood Slaughter Azure Flood Dragon, and the Wandering Old Saint unsealed themselves and established defensive lines in the south, north, and east.
• The Human Emperor Banner drew the souls, blood essence, and source power of the fallen into Shiheng, strengthening his cultivation while resistance collapsed across the continent.
• The Primordial Earth-vein Divine Tortoise warned that defense alone would exhaust Lingmeng’s reserves, and the Wandering Old Saint identified the Human Emperor Banner as the array’s central core.
• Shiheng declared that he would repay the races’ ancient blood debts by using their souls and blood essence to forge his Great Way.
• Shiheng doubled the World Destruction Grand Array’s operating speed, rapidly breaking down the three defenders’ barriers and draining their reserves as they continued to hold their positions.

Shiheng’s world-destroying array stripped the Lingmeng Continent’s origins and pushed its three primordial guardians toward collapse. They joined forces to briefly restrain the array, but Shiheng’s Four Supreme Laws advanced to the Asura level while their complete fusion remained just out of reach.

• The Earth-vein Divine Tortoise’s origin and foundations were drained as the array shattered its defenses and sent its spirit springs to Shiheng.
• The Blood Slaughter Azure Flood Dragon burned its reserves to resist the blade torrent, but the array overwhelmed it and drained its blood and Dao foundation.
• The Wandering Old Saint burned his Heavenly Secrets Dao Fruit to restore the Heavenly Secrets Dao Net and try to sever the Human Emperor Banner’s origin channel.
• The three primordial powerhouses combined their remaining strength to form a Three-Colored Heaven-Suppressing Grand Array, briefly stabilizing the world and slowing the flow of origins to Shiheng.
• Shiheng dismissed their resistance and drove his Four Supreme Laws close to a complete fusion, raising his Death and Destruction Laws to the Asura level.

Shiheng’s power reached God-level Peak, and he broke the three ancient guardians’ array, leaving all three gravely weakened. He slaughtered Lingmeng for ten days, then faced nearly a hundred Asura powerhouses and almost two thousand Seven-Star Fiends as he prepared to complete his blood-soaked reckoning.

• Shiheng’s fused power surged to God-level Peak, breached the Three-Colored Heaven-Suppressing Grand Array, and transformed the World Destruction Grand Array.
• Shiheng shattered the foundations of the Wandering Old Saint, the Blood Slaughter Azure Flood Dragon, and the Earth-vein Divine Tortoise, reducing them to near-ordinary Highgod, weakened, and severely damaged states.
• Shiheng’s array slaughtered Lingmeng’s inhabitants for ten days and nights, annihilating lower-tier experts and killing or injuring more than half the Seven-Star Fiends.
• Shiheng’s blade patterns killed the first Asura powerhouse and forced the hidden survivors to emerge, including nearly a hundred Asuras and almost two thousand Seven-Star Fiends.
• Shiheng declared that he would settle the blood debt and unleashed the World Destruction Grand Array against everyone remaining in Lingmeng.

Shiheng annihilated every cultivator of Midgod level or above on the Lingmeng Continent, using their essence to perfect the fusion of his four supreme variant laws and earn ten portions of Paragon willpower might. He remained unable to become an Overgod without a Sovereign Spark, but declared that he would roam the heavens unchecked.

• Shiheng's world-destroying formation killed the Asura powerhouses and the two thousand Seven-Star Fiends, along with every other cultivator of Midgod level or above on the Lingmeng Continent.
• The slaughter's essence helped Shiheng completely fuse the laws of death, destruction, life, and fate into a perfect cycle.
• Heaven and earth rewarded Shiheng with five new portions of Paragon willpower might, bringing his total to ten and raising his power beyond that of ordinary Paragons.
• Shiheng recognized that he still needed a Sovereign Spark to become an Overgod, though he could not kill an Overgod to obtain one.
• Shiheng withdrew the formation, declared Lingmeng's debt settled, and vowed to roam the heavens unchecked.

Shiheng used the Four Blades Absolute-Kill Formation to annihilate the Asura forces attacking the Lingmeng Continent, then spared the weakened Ancient Three Sages after his Four-Series Supreme Laws fused and his soul power rose sevenfold. With the continent’s remaining survivors identified and its resources under his control, Shiheng stood as its sole supreme ruler, though reaching Overgod level still required a Sovereign Spark and Overgod-level Willpower Might.

• Shiheng’s Four Blades Absolute-Kill Formation and Human Emperor Banner trapped and slaughtered the Asura Clan Chiefs and their elite forces without him appearing on the battlefield.
• The last Asura chief guessed that Shiheng had obtained a Sovereign Spark before the formation destroyed him.
• Shiheng sensed the wounded Ancient Three Sages and began to restrain them, but his Death, Destruction, Life, and Fate laws fused completely, raising his soul power and divine sense sevenfold.
• Shiheng realized that his strength had reached the God-level limit and that only a Sovereign Spark and Overgod-level Willpower Might could take him further, so he halted the killing formation and spared the three sages.
• After the catastrophe and the Asura battle, only the Human Race’s direct bloodlines, the surviving Elves, Saint and Lowgod cultivators, and the Ancient Three Sages remained on the Lingmeng Continent.
• Oakes Redding and the other Divine Beast powerhouses recognized Shiheng as the shattered continent’s sole supreme being.

After annihilating the Asura army, Shiheng found release from centuries of grief and restraint and told the Divine Beast clans that he would lead the Human Race and the Elven lineage from the Life God Realm into Hell’s Demon Abyss Plane. The chapter ended with Shiheng choosing the abyss as the people’s new home and foundation for their future.

• Shiheng’s victory over the Asura army ended the final battle on the Lingmeng Continent, and his divine soul reached a clearer, fulfilled state of mind.
• Shiheng met Oakes Redding and the Divine Beast experts, who thanked him for saving them from their destined deaths and changing their fates.
• Shiheng told Oakes and the other Divine Beast clansmen to return to the Skyrite Mountains in Indigo Prefecture and reunite with their people.
• Shiheng refused to enter the Skyrite Mountains and announced that he would go to Hell’s Demon Abyss Plane.
• Shiheng declared that the Human Race’s direct lineages and the Elven lineage in the Life God Realm would migrate to the Demon Abyss because the Lingmeng Continent was ruined and the Lingmeng Overgod might arrive.

After the Divine Beast clans returned to their ancestral land, Shiheng began planning the Human Race’s migration but learned that his birth parents had died of old age in the Yulan Plane. In the mourning-clad imperial capital, Shi Hao, Kelin Xiaoman, and Grand Duke Kelin grieved their loss.

• Oakes Redding and the Divine Beast clansmen bowed to Shiheng, then entered the Teleportation Passage bound for the Skyrite Mountains in Hell.
• Shiheng planned to gather the scattered Human Race tribes and move the Human Race and Elven lineage to Hell’s Demon Abyss.
• Shiheng felt his parents’ deaths across the planes and realized that, despite his power, he could not save them from mortal aging and death.

• Grand Duke Kelin told Shi Hao and Kelin Xiaoman that the elders’ peaceful, long lives had been a great blessing.

After grieving his failure to see his parents before their deaths, Shiheng abandoned his plans for the human race and resolved to resurrect them through the Undead Great Way. He secured the aid of three primordial sages by offering them a million-year contract and the chance to become Paragons.

• Shiheng wept over his regret at failing to protect his parents and be with them in their final years.
• Shiheng decided to use his knowledge of their souls and the Undead Great Way to restore his parents to life and give them peaceful years together.
• Shiheng confronted the Primordial Earth-vein Divine Tortoise, the Primordial Blood-colored Flood Dragon Venerable, and the old man of remnant fate laws, offering them a million-year contract in exchange for guarding the human race and campaigning across the heavens.
• The three sages rejected being forced into submission and declared they would rather die than surrender their pride.
• Shiheng offered them an equal agreement, promising to repair their bodies and Great Ways and help them reach Paragon before releasing them after a million years.
• The three sages accepted the Heavens Contract and became Shiheng's contracted Divine Beasts.

After binding three ancient Saints by contract, Shiheng ordered them to relocate the Human Race to the Demon Abyss and sent Sailiya ahead to secure its stronghold. With the race’s future entrusted to them, he entered the Netherworld alone to recover his parents’ remnant souls.

• Shiheng completed a million-year Divine Soul contract with the Primordial Earth-vein Divine Tortoise, the Primordial Blood-colored Flood Dragon Venerable, and the Elder of the Remnant Fate Laws.
• Shiheng ordered the three Saints to move humans from the Lingmeng Sky to the Demon Abyss and search the other Higher Planes for scattered human bloodlines.
• The three Saints used their powers to protect and conceal the migration as humans passed through Teleportation Arrays to the Demon Abyss.
• Shiheng sent Sailiya ahead to seize control of the Demon Abyss’s teleportation hubs and defend the Human Race’s new Ancestral Land.
• After entrusting the migration and the Ancestral Land to the Saints and Sailiya, Shiheng entered the Netherworld alone to retrieve his parents’ remnant souls.

Shiheng entered the Netherworld to find his parents’ remnant souls and defy the laws of reincarnation to bring them home. Guided by the soul marks he had placed on them long ago, he set out toward the dangerous heartland of the Netherworld.

• Shiheng crossed into the Netherworld, where its laws suppressed ordinary cultivators, but his Divine Soul and mastery of Death let him perceive the realm without restriction.
• Shiheng considered that he still needed a compatible Sovereign Spark to become a true Overgod, then set aside his ambitions to focus on finding his family.
• Shiheng sensed the soul marks he had placed on his parents pointing toward the Netherworld’s sealed heartland.
• Shiheng resolved to break through the divide between life and death without entering reincarnation and began walking toward the heartland.

Shiheng crossed the Netherworld in seven days and reached the Undead Realm, where he confirmed that his parents’ souls were intact. He found their location and prepared to defy reincarnation to take them back.

• Shiheng crossed forty-eight prefectures and reached the Undead Realm in seven days without using Teleportation Arrays.
• Shiheng’s aura killed four Wolf Race Highgods who were attacking a group of nine human deities.
• Shiheng sensed that the soul imprints he had placed on his parents were still clear and unbroken.
• Shiheng used his divine soul to locate his parents’ remnant souls in a secluded nether valley.
• Shiheng resolved to seize his parents’ souls from the Nether Soil and overturn the laws of reincarnation.
