Chapter Summaries

The Divine Lord allowed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to stay in his Medicine Garden with Xiao Bai, then learned that the Ancient Heavenly Palace Ruins were leaking Demonic Energy and decided to investigate in person. On the Tianluo Continent, Yue Guan cautiously sought a place in the Great Luo Heavenly Domain, while the Sky Screen left his next move unresolved.

• The Divine Lord recognized the Three-Eyed Golden Lion as an Auspicious Beast, allowed her to stay in the Medicine Garden, and assigned her to keep Xiao Bai company.
• Yu Xiaogang dismissed Xiao Bai as a useless pet, but Tang San privately recognized the beast’s extraordinary abilities and ignored his teacher.
• A purple-robed elder reported that scouts had located the Ancient Heavenly Palace Ruins and found cracks in its sealing formation, with Demonic Energy leaking through and signs of the suppressed monster’s revival.
• The Divine Lord announced that he would personally investigate the ruins, and the Sky Screen carried the scene to the Tianluo Continent.
• Yue Guan arrived on the Tianluo Continent, learned that the Great Luo Heavenly Domain was recruiting, and headed for its recruitment grounds hoping to join as an Outer Sect disciple.

Yue Guan encountered a mysterious Little Girl in the Black Dress in the mountains and brought her along to the Great Luo Heavenly Domain’s recruitment site. As Spirit Hall’s leaders confidently expected him to pass the assessment, Yue Guan saw how powerful the candidates were and watched the first applicant fail.

• Yue Guan sensed the Little Girl in the Black Dress’s extraordinary plant-and-tree aura and offered to take her as his disciple.
• The Little Girl in the Black Dress refused to become Yue Guan’s disciple but agreed to accompany him to the Great Luo Heavenly Domain.
• Bibi Dong and the Spirit Hall elders watched the Sky Screen and confidently predicted that Yue Guan would pass the entrance test.
• Yue Guan and the Little Girl in the Black Dress reached the recruitment plaza, where Yue Guan was shaken by the cultivators’ powerful Spiritual Energy.
• A burly man failed to light the third pattern on the Spirit Testing Stone, and the deacon ordered him away.

Yue Guan barely passed the Great Luo Heavenly Domain's test and was assigned to grow chrysanthemums, while the little girl he had brought along cracked the Spirit Testing Stone and chose to stay with him. A few days later, Yue Guan asked Steward Ma about the domain's powerful figures and learned that its territories were ruled by the Nine Kings.

• Yue Guan used his rank-ninety-five Soul Power to light three markings on the Spirit Testing Stone, barely passing and receiving a job growing chrysanthemums in the Outer Sect's Spirit Medicine Garden.
• The little girl touched the stone and lit every marking before cracking it, stunning the crowd and prompting the attendant to offer her Inner Sect status.
• The little girl declined the offer and insisted on going with Yue Guan to the back mountain, leaving him terrified by the attention she attracted.
• A few days later, Yue Guan worked in the Spirit Medicine Garden while the little girl ate a stolen Spiritual Fruit nearby.
• Yue Guan asked Steward Ma which figures he should avoid offending, and Steward Ma explained that the Great Luo Heavenly Domain's territories were ruled by the Nine Kings.

Yue Guan learned that the Great Luo Heavenly Domain was ruled in practice by the Three Emperors while its Domain Lord was missing, but the black-dressed girl casually claimed the Domain Lord had simply come out to sleep. That night, Outer Sect disciples attacked the Medicine Garden to steal a Seven-Star Begonia, and Yue Guan was badly wounded defending it as the girl emerged.

• Steward Ma told Yue Guan that the Nine Kings served the Three Emperors and warned him that the missing Domain Lord was a taboo subject amid rumors and political turmoil.
• The black-dressed girl suggested the Domain Lord had left seclusion to find somewhere to sleep, frightening Yue Guan and Steward Ma.

A mysterious girl in a black dress defeated Blood Eagle Hall’s disciples with overwhelming force after they came to punish her and Yue Guan. The chapter ended with the Law Enforcement Team crushed in the Medicine Garden, while Steward Chen and his men lay unable to move.

• The girl used a trace of her aura to force Senior Brother Zhang and his companions to their knees, then let them flee the Medicine Garden.
• Senior Brother Zhang lied to Steward Chen that the girl had injured them with a protective artifact and insulted the Blood Eagle King, prompting Chen to lead the Law Enforcement Team to the garden.
• Steward Chen and Senior Brother Zhang arrived on blood eagles and ordered their disciples to seize the girl and Yue Guan or kill them if they resisted.
• The girl casually pressed her hand downward, crushing the blood eagles and flattening Steward Chen and the Law Enforcement Team into the ground.
• Yue Guan and the viewers on the Douluo Continent were stunned by the girl’s power, while Tang San could not explain how she had defeated the attackers.

The little girl revealed herself as the Great Luo Heavenly Domain’s Domain Lord, effortlessly defeating Blood Eagle King and reducing Yue Guan to terrified submission. The Sky Screen then showed Tang Chen arriving at the Ancient Heavenly Palace Ruins, where the scale of the ruins unsettled him.

• Steward Chen crushed a blood-red jade token, summoning Blood Eagle King to the Medicine Garden.
• Blood Eagle King attacked the little girl and Yue Guan, but the girl destroyed his strike with a slap and sent him crashing into a cliff.

• Yue Guan realized the girl was the Domain Lord and begged her to spare his life, while she reprimanded the Three Emperors for their subordinates’ conduct.
• The Sky Screen shifted to the Ancient Heavenly Palace Ruins, where Tang Chen arrived and explored the shattered plaza and its enormous remnants.

Tang Chen discovered that medicinal residue in the Ancient Heavenly Palace suppressed the Nine-Headed Bat King’s resentment, while the Clear Sky Sect and Tang San learned of his identity and hoped his discoveries would restore their power. Tang Chen continued exploring the ruins as his descendants prepared to challenge Spirit Hall.

• Tang Chen absorbed the medicinal residue’s remaining energy and continued deeper into the vast Ancient Heavenly Palace ruins.

Tang Chen discovered the Heavenly Emperor Sword sealing the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor and, overcome by greed, approached it without realizing the apparent Heavenly Emperor was actually the demon in disguise. Gu Yuena and the God Realm Committee recognized the danger as Tang Chen neared the altar, leaving the seal's fate uncertain.

• Tang Chen read the stele's account of the Ancient Heavenly Palace's war against the Outer Realm Evil Clan and the Heavenly Emperor's sacrifice to seal the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor.
• Tang Chen found two bodies on an altar, with a crystal sword pinning the apparent Devil Emperor, and decided to take the sword for its power.
• The chapter revealed that the golden figure was the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor in disguise, the demonic body beneath him was the true Heavenly Emperor, and the sword was the seal's core.

• The God Realm Committee learned that Tang Chen was the Asura God's chosen successor, and the Asura God warned that removing the sword could break the seal and expose their realm to the demon.

Tang Chen was rejected by the Heavenly Emperor Sword, then possessed by the Demonic Energy and transformed into a monster that attacked the Devil Emperor’s corpse. As Spirit Hall prepared for the threat and Tang Hao grieved, Tang San questioned how the black mist had fused the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King with Tang Chen.

• On Cold Mountain Peak, Clear Sky Sect leaders celebrated the Heavenly Emperor Sword and urged Tang Chen to claim it.
• The Heavenly Emperor Sword burned and threw Tang Chen away, allowing the Demonic Energy to enter him and overwhelm his mind.
• Tang Chen mutated into a demon, failed to break the sword with his hammer, and attacked the Devil Emperor’s body instead.
• Qian Daoliu concluded that Tang Chen had become a puppet and ordered Spirit Hall to prepare for the possibility that he would return.
• At Shrek Academy, Tang Hao collapsed in grief while Tang San asked why the black mist had fused the bat with Tang Chen; Tang Hao said he did not know.

Tang San realized the battlefield had been staged to disguise the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor as a savior and the Heavenly Emperor as a demon, but Tang Chen destroyed the seal and freed the Devil Emperor. As the Devil Emperor returned, Spirit Hall prepared to defend the Douluo Continent, while the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan feared the Great Thousand World was doomed.

• Tang San deduced that the corpse beneath the divine sword was the real Heavenly Emperor and that the golden-robed figure was the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor.
• Tang Chen shattered the Heavenly Emperor's remains, breaking the seal and allowing the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor to escape.

• Yu Yuanzhen ordered the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to retreat to the Thunderclap Mountain Range, seal its gates, and prepare the Thunder Dragon Formation in case Tang Chen returned with demons.
• The Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor prepared to destroy the Heavenly Emperor’s final remnant soul, but a golden lotus appeared and halted his demonic fire.

• The Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor ordered Tang Chen to attack Su Wangchen, but Su Wangchen froze him, shattered his hammer, and crushed him into the plaza.
• Su Wangchen turned to the Devil Emperor and challenged him to show the power of his remaining two lives.

Su Wangchen defeated the Devil Emperor with the Great Wilderness Swallowing Heaven Art and his Dharma Form of Heaven and Earth, then met Xiao Yan and Lin Dong as they arrived at the Ancient Heavenly Palace ruins. On Douluo Continent, Qian Daoliu and the other worships were left shaken by the overwhelming power they witnessed on the Sky Screen.

The God Kings and Tang San watched the Great Thousand World’s experts with awe, and Tang San vowed to seek them out as a disciple. In the Ancient Heavenly Palace ruins, Su Changqing, Xiao Yan, and Lin Dong joined forces to restore the Heavenly Emperor’s remnant soul, bringing him back as a phantom.

• The God Kings admitted that the Great Thousand World’s experts surpassed them and wondered why Su Changqing, Xiao Yan, and Lin Dong had gathered.

• Su Changqing, Xiao Yan, and Lin Dong combined their spiritual energy, Emperor Flame, and Ancestor Stone power to restore the Heavenly Emperor’s remnant soul into a phantom.

After Xiao Yan and Lin Dong refused the Heavenly Emperor’s One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, Su Changqing accepted the legacy and went into seclusion in the Heavenly Emperor Mausoleum to study it. As three streams of clear qi formed lotus buds above him, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong waited outside, growing bored after several days.

• The Heavenly Emperor offered One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones to Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and Su Changqing.
• Xiao Yan and Lin Dong declined the legacy, choosing to remain true to their own cultivation paths.
• Su Changqing accepted the art, received its knowledge from the Heavenly Emperor, and went to the mausoleum to contemplate it.
• Three streams of clear qi rose above Su Changqing and began forming lotus flowers as the art’s embryonic form.
• Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong were astonished by the prospect that Su Changqing’s clones could match his strength, while Tang San resolved to seek Su Changqing as his master.
• After several days of guarding the ruins, Xiao Yan tossed Lin Dong a jar of spirit-fruit wine.

While Su Changqing continued his long meditation in the Heavenly Emperor Mausoleum, Xiao Yan challenged Lin Dong to a spar in the Ancient Heavenly Palace. As the Douluo God Realm, Sea God Island, and the Far North debated who would win, the Snow Empress wondered whether Su Changqing was the most unfathomable figure of all.

• Xiao Yan asked Lin Dong about his conflict with the Western Heaven War Emperor, and Lin Dong said he had damaged the Western Heaven Battle Hall and secured an apology and compensation.
• Xiao Yan challenged Lin Dong to spar while Su Changqing continued meditating, and Lin Dong summoned all eight Ancestral Symbols to accept.

• The Snow Empress and Ice Empress discussed Lin Dong's ice rune and favored different fighters before the Snow Empress singled out Su Changqing as especially impossible to fathom.

Su Changqing effortlessly stopped Xiao Yan and Lin Dong from destroying the Ancient Heavenly Palace, and the Heavenly Emperor finally passed on after entrusting the Great Thousand World to them. Xiao Yan then proposed that the three head to the Outer Realm border to fight the Evil Clan and compete over their kills.

• The Snow Empress judged Su Changqing more unfathomable than Xiao Yan and Lin Dong as their sparring match began in the Ancient Heavenly Palace ruins.
• Xiao Yan and Lin Dong unleashed their ultimate techniques, but Su Changqing erased both attacks with a gesture and urged them not to wreck the Heavenly Emperor’s resting place.
• Tang San resolved to travel to the Great Thousand World and take Su Changqing as his master, while the Five Great God Kings struggled to comprehend his power.

• Xiao Yan proposed that the three go to the Outer Realm border, kill Otherworldly Demons, and compete to see who killed the most and the highest-ranking Devil Emperor.

Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and Su Changqing accepted a wager to hunt demons and traveled to the Great Thousand World’s border, where their arrival saved a crumbling defense from an Outer Realm Evil Clan assault. When five Heavenly Demon Emperor patriarchs appeared, Su Changqing used One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones to bring the battle to an even five against five.

• Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and Su Changqing agreed to compete in hunting demons and set off for the Great Thousand World’s border.

• Su Changqing used One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones to create two additional Heavenly Sovereign-level fighters, making the sides five against five.

Su Changqing, Xiao Yan, and Lin Dong defeated five Heavenly Demon Emperors who sacrificed their origins to trap them, killing three and capturing one as the Shadow Devil Emperor escaped. After the invading demon army fled, Su Changqing questioned the captive about the force behind the assault and what remained hidden in the rear.

• Su Changqing, Xiao Yan, and Lin Dong overwhelmed the five Heavenly Demon Emperors, who ignited their origins to form the Forbidden Demon Array.
• Su Changqing and his companions combined their powers to shatter the array and leave the five Devil Emperors weakened by its backlash.

• Su Changqing questioned the Two-Horned Demon King about who had empowered the attack and what was hidden in the rear.

• The Two-Horned Demon King refused to reveal anything, and Su Changqing said the enemy leaders had arrived to retrieve him.
• Eight Devil Emperors and a vast demonic army emerged from a spatial rift, and the Four-Eyed Devil Emperor demanded the captive’s return.

• The Snow Empress and Ice Empress admired the unity and strength of the Great Thousand World, and the Snow Empress said she wanted to follow Su Changqing.
• The Four-Eyed Devil Emperor repeated his demand for Twin Horns and threatened to flatten the Border Great Wall even at the cost of several clan chiefs.

As the Four-Eyed Devil Emperor’s side began sacrificing their own troops and gathering Devil Emperor essence blood, the Great Thousand World’s defenders realized they were trying to summon something.

• Su Changqing, Xiao Yan, and Lin Dong charged into the million-strong Otherworldly Demon army, with Xiao Yan burning through its ranks and Lin Dong crushing demons beneath his eight-origin millstone.
• Su Changqing rode his transformed Saint Dragon into the Devil Emperors’ formation, where he caught an axe, ripped off a Four-Eyed Devil Emperor’s arm, and battered the enemy leaders.

• Tang San watched Su Changqing fight and resolved to become his disciple, even if he had to abandon everything and serve him.
• Su Changqing and his allies drove the Devil Emperors into retreat, but the Four-Eyed Devil Emperor ordered the survivors to absorb their own army and combined the blood with essence from slain Devil Emperors.
• The azure-robed Heavenly Sovereign recognized the gathering blood as a sacrifice meant to summon a mysterious entity.
