Chapter Summaries

Fourteen years after Xiluo became the high lord of Abyssal Hell’s fifteenth layer, the Eternal Empire’s expansion plunged Domirank Star into crisis. Xiluo gathered Niro City’s powerful dragons and prepared to respond to the empire’s defiance.

• Xiluo took control of the fifteenth layer, collected tribute from its demon lords and devil sovereigns, and earned 30 achievement points.
• The Eternal Empire conquered the Radiant Empire’s capital, while Baili’er’s three dragon offspring hatched and grew rapidly under Xiluo’s catalysis.
• The Eternal Empire resumed its expansion, destroyed the Anti-Eternal Alliance, and stirred unrest across the continent and World Tree Space.
• Xiluo summoned Gordon, Allen, Baphomet, Connis, Baili’er, and other dragons to discuss confronting the Eternal Empire.
• Gordon, Allen, and Baphomet urged an attack, while Connis volunteered to command the march and Baili’er supported him.

Xiluo revealed that he could bless dragon kin with some of his own power, then strengthened Niro City's dragons for a planned confrontation with the Eternal Empire. The chapter ended with Konis claiming he was now the strongest dragon and should lead them.

• Abel, Alicia, Konis, and other dragons argued over who should command the dragons, while Karl warned that Niro City might still be weaker than the Eternal Empire.
• Xiluo explained that he could grant power to dragon kin whose shadows appeared in the Mystery Sea, and he blessed Allen first.
• Allen's strength rose from level 24 Heaven's Mandate− to Heaven's Mandate, and he excitedly challenged Gordon to test his new power.
• Xiluo blessed the other dragons, raising many of their levels while his own strength fell from level 27 Overlord to level 25 Overlord−.
• Konis received the greatest boost and roared that he was now stronger than any other dragon and should lead them.

Xiluo sent Gordon and Allen with four hundred dragons to confront the Eternal Empire, whose leaders proposed a fifteen-match contest to avoid a full battle. Gordon accepted and added a wager of a hundred million gold coins, leaving both sides preparing for the contest.

• Xiluo reprimanded Konis and ordered him to cooperate with Allen and Gordon, then the dragons returned to Niro City.
• Gordon and Allen led four hundred dragons toward the Eternal Empire, whose spies reported their movement to Aite Finis.
• Aite Finis gathered the Eternal Empire’s forces at the border, and both armies tested their strength by clashing auras.
• Gordon rejected Aite Finis’s justifications for the Empire’s conquests, while Allen heard out the proposal for a contest between fifteen fighters from each side.
• Gordon accepted the contest and added a wager of a hundred million gold coins, and Aite Finis agreed after the Empire’s officials arranged their share of the stake.

Gordon and Aite Finis finalized a wager between the dragons and the Eternal Empire, whose leaders expected their hidden strength and strategy to guarantee victory. The dragons’ enhanced fighters defeated Aite Finis and Xieli Saimen, leaving the Empire convinced they had been deceived about the dragons’ true power.

• The dragons argued over the wager’s rewards until Gordon proposed that only match winners would share the prize equally, and the Crimson Queen helped secure agreement.
• Gordon and Aite Finis signed the contract with gods as guarantors, then each side submitted a list of fifteen contestants.
• The Eternal Empire’s fighters planned to exploit the dragons’ apparent strength rankings, while Gordon dismissed their opponents and insisted the dragons would win through force.
• The Eternal Empire forfeited Gordon’s and the Crimson Queen’s rounds, then Aite Finis fought the Mind Queen for nearly five hours and lost.
• The Eternal Empire accused the dragons of hiding their strength after the Mind Queen’s victory, and Allen defeated Xieli Saimen in the fourth battle.

The dragons and the Eternal Empire continued their wagered tournament, trading victories as both sides’ fighters weakened. Konis and Little Pake secured the dragons’ lead, and the dragons ultimately won ten matches to five and divided the hundred million gold coins.

• Baphomet lost to an Eternal Empire fighter, but Alicia and Sif Aiya also lost; Koraman lost before Kahn won a match for the dragons.
• Abel and Karl lost their matches, bringing the score to 6-5, before Konis defeated Malute and Little Pake won the next match to put the dragons ahead 8-5.
• Pawa and Xilian won the final two matches against the Empire’s remaining fighters, giving the dragons a 10-5 victory.
• The dragons collected the hundred million gold coins, distributed fifty thousand to each of more than four hundred dragons, and divided most of the remainder among the ten winning dragons.

After growing stronger in Abyssal Hell, Xiluo Utrasis challenged Lance Tiamat again and overwhelmingly defeated the Ancient Red Dragon. Gulan Tiamat and Lance watched the fight in shock as Lance’s projection crumbled to ash.

• The Eternal Empire retreated from Niro City after losing the wager, and news of the dragons’ strength spread across Domirank Star and Blue Star.
• Over twenty years in Abyssal Hell, Xiluo advanced his giant mountain dragon and meteor dragon bloodlines and reached level 27.
• Xiluo entered Dragon Soul Space to challenge Lance Tiamat again, while Gulan Tiamat and Lance watched through a projection.
• Xiluo seized Lance and smashed him into the arena floor, then used his divided body and powerful attacks to overwhelm the Ancient Red Dragon.
• After two hours, Lance Tiamat’s projection was defeated and crumbled into ash.

After defeating Lance Tiamat, Xiluo Utrasis learned from Gulan Tiamat that becoming an Ancient Dragon required blessings from all Four Dragon Gods, 1.6 billion gold coins, and God's Blood. Gulan explained that a Dragon God could help him obtain divine blood for one billion gold coins, leaving Xiluo calm and ready to earn more and grow.

• Xiluo reflected on defeating Lance Tiamat, and Gulan Tiamat arrived to fulfill their agreement by explaining the requirements for Ancient Dragon advancement.
• Gulan said Xiluo needed blessings from all Four Dragon Gods and enough gold to provide 80,000 additional years of lifespan, costing 1.6 billion gold coins.
• Gulan taught Xiluo a spell for assessing lifespan and explained that gold's Dragon Spirit could extend dragons' lives and strengthen their bloodlines.
• Gulan revealed that Xiluo also needed God's Blood, which could not be bought directly from the Dragon Gods because their divine power was needed for conflicts.
• Gulan proposed that good or neutral gods could help attack an evil god's Divine Kingdom, where he could obtain divine blood, and said arranging a Dragon God's intervention would cost one billion gold coins.
• Xiluo accepted the cost calmly and resolved to earn more gold and grow stronger.

Xiluo began merging ten mutated bloodlines, and the process left him unconscious while his uncontrolled power unleashed a vast Chaos Current across the Fifteenth Layer of Abyssal Hell. As the disaster engulfed Lawrence’s Devil Castle, Anmion Toras and Rodrigo approached its center to find Xiluo and kill him.

• Xiluo chose Heavenly Extreme Thunder Overlord Dragon as the primary bloodline and fell unconscious after starting the fusion.
• Xiluo’s transformation emitted chaotic elemental energies that spread across the Fifteenth Layer, destroying the surrounding land and killing demons and devils.
• Lawrence tried to investigate the disaster, then retreated to his Devil Castle and activated its defensive barrier as the Chaos Current swallowed his followers and threatened the fortress.
• Anmion Toras and Rodrigo flew toward the center of the Chaos Current, with Anmion insisting that Rodrigo help her kill Xiluo.
• Anmion blamed Xiluo for deceiving her and taking her former territory, while Rodrigo remained intrigued by the strange disaster.

Rodrigo and the Demon Eye Great Matriarch discovered a Chaos Egg beneath the Magma Thunder Pool and tried to seize it, but their attacks could not harm it. The egg hatched into a powerful-looking dragon who admired his new form, leaving the two Demigods stunned.

• Rodrigo and the Demon Eye Great Matriarch descended into the cavern beneath the Magma Thunder Pool and found a Chaos Egg radiating dangerous energy.
• The Demon Eye Great Matriarch offered Rodrigo the egg in exchange for canceling their agreement, and Rodrigo tried to pull its contents out.
• Rodrigo and the Demon Eye Great Matriarch failed to move the egg, so Rodrigo attacked it repeatedly while the Demon Eye Great Matriarch watched.
• The Chaos Egg stopped releasing Chaos Currents, split open, and revealed a strange, multicolored dragon.
• The newly hatched dragon admired himself in a Water Mirror and declared his merged Ten Great Bloodlines made him perfect.

After uniting ten bloodlines, Xiluo Utrasis revealed his overwhelming power as a Dragon of Calamity and defeated the Demon Eye Great Matriarch and Rodrigo’s attacks. He left both enemies helpless before discovering that his transformation and vastly extended lifespan brought him closer to becoming an Ancient Dragon.

• Anmion Toras urged Rodrigo to retreat, but he refused because he coveted Xiluo Utrasis’s powerful bloodline.
• Xiluo identified Anmion Toras and explained that he had been elected Grand Lord rather than stealing her former position; Anmion recognized him and attacked.
• Anmion’s attacks failed against Xiluo’s elemental defenses, and Rodrigo’s flames were weakened by Xiluo’s control over fire.
• Rodrigo tried to flee, but Xiluo’s red dragon scale pulled him back while Xiluo teleported to Anmion and struck her with Chaos Power.
• Xiluo caught Anmion again when she attempted to escape and declared himself a Dragon of Calamity, leaving her and Rodrigo terrified.
• Xiluo’s status showed that his ten united bloodlines had raised him to level 28 and unlocked Calamity Incarnation; his lifespan had increased to one hundred thousand years.

Xiluo forced Rodrigo and the Demon Eye Great Matriarch to pay him a total of 180 million gold coins before letting them go. He earned three achievements, spent 100 points to acquire Dragon Emperor Aura, and planned to use it to strengthen the dragons under his command.

• Xiluo demanded 500 million gold coins from Rodrigo and the Demon Eye Great Matriarch, then used his soul-reading ability and threats to make them reveal their true limits.
• Rodrigo paid 80 million gold coins and the Demon Eye Great Matriarch paid 100 million; both demigods fled, and the Matriarch abandoned her claim to the Fifteenth Layer of Abyssal Hell.
• Xiluo decided to invest in the dragons who followed him, since their strength could also help increase his own power.
• Xiluo received three achievements worth 20, 30, and 40 points, bringing his total to 121 achievement points.
• After refreshing his talents, Xiluo found Dragon Emperor Aura and spent 100 points to improve the potential, reproduction rate, and egg-hatching chances of dragons under his command.

Xiluo returned to Abyssal Hell in a new form and used the Dragon Emperor Aura and generous rewards to strengthen Niro City. Over the following decades, Niro City became Domirank Star’s dominant power, while Xiluo’s companions advanced and Gordon rose to become an Abyss Grand Lord.

• Xiluo returned to Abyssal Hell in a changed form, summoned Allen, and issued a decree awarding gold coins to dragons according to their ranking in Niro City.
• The Crimson Queen and the Mind Queen pledged allegiance to Xiluo, and their dragon shadows strengthened alongside the other dragons’ as the Dragon Emperor Aura’s effects became clear.
• Niro City’s dragon population and strength grew over the next several years, prompting Sophia and Ularuo to join the Watchers' Alliance; the two Kingdoms were later assimilated into Niro City.
• Over the following decades, Allen, the Crimson Queen, and the Mind Queen advanced to Demigod, while the Mind Queen’s two eggs hatched into powerful Dragonbeasts and Xiluo extended Alice’s life with the Longevity Art.
• Gordon defeated a Grand Lord on the twenty-second layer of Abyssal Hell, gained power from the Abyss Will, and later challenged Xiluo, who defeated him with ease.

Niro City defeated the Anti-Niro Alliance, conquered Domirank Star, and grew into a major power with fourteen demigods. In Abyssal Hell, Xiluo hit a level 29 bottleneck and asked Gulan Tiamat how to rise beyond the demigod tier, leaving Gulan startled by Xiluo’s strength.

• The Anti-Niro Alliance attacked Niro City, but its dragons and allied forces overwhelmed them and drove them into retreat.
• Niro City conquered the Eternal Empire and other alliance members, establishing the Holy Xiluo Empire and bringing Domirank Star close to unification.
• Konis, two dragonbeast offspring, the last three dragons from Green Forest, and Pake reached demigod, bringing Niro City’s total to fourteen demigods.
• Xiluo discovered that his level had been stuck at 29, 99% for several years and contacted Gulan Tiamat through the Dragon Soul Orb.
• Xiluo asked Gulan how he had surpassed the demigod tier, and Gulan marveled that Xiluo had reached the pinnacle so quickly before warning him not to underestimate other powerful beings.

Gulan Tiamat explained the power ranks of Demigods and Gods to Xiluo, who chose to keep developing rather than challenge the Gods prematurely. Over the following centuries, Xiluo expanded his empire across other planets, defeated a rival Abyssal Grand Lord, and built alliances, until the fifteenth layer of Abyssal Hell had been transformed by year 1000 of the Holy Xiluo Calendar.

• Gulan Tiamat told Xiluo that Level 29 was the threshold for five ranks of power, explained how divine power worked, and warned that Gods could escape attempts to seize their Divine Cores.

• Xiluo gained renown, cooperated with five Abyssal Grand Lords, and expanded abroad while developing the planets he took over.
• By year 1000, the fifteenth layer of Abyssal Hell had become a bright, green landscape filled with tall buildings.

A thousand years after Alice and Fennis died, Xiluo’s aged son Pawa urged him to carry out his long-planned attack on a god. Xiluo agreed to consider it and sought Gulan Tiamat’s advice, learning that the Goddess of Agony, Loviatar, was a possible target but had a formidable Divine Kingdom.

• Xiluo and his descendants honored Alice and Fennis at their graves, where Pawa told Xiluo he wanted to see him defeat a god before he died.
• Xiluo reviewed his greatly increased power and the strength of the Holy Xiluo Empire, then told Pawa he would consider the proposal and summon them with an answer.
• Pake questioned Pawa about his desire to fight, and Pawa said he wanted his death to leave a meaningful legacy rather than pass unnoticed.
• Xiluo summoned Gulan Tiamat with the Dragon Soul Orb and asked which gods would make suitable targets and how strong they were.
• Gulan Tiamat named the Goddess of Agony, Loviatar, as a possible target and described her offensive powers, Sun Rank strength, and Divine Kingdom of at least fifty million members, including twenty-five demigods and two Star Rank beings.

Xiluo entered Gulan Tiamat’s Crimson Flame Domain to assess demigod strength and spar with the dragons there. After the dragons learned of Xiluo’s age and past victory over Lance Tiamat’s projection, Gulan chose Aofeina Kulouba as his first opponent, and Xiluo asked whether Aofeina’s strength counted as Star Rank.

• Gulan Tiamat described the forces of Mara and Ushiga, and Xiluo asked how Star Rank, Moon Rank, and Sun Rank compared.
• Gulan invited Xiluo into the Crimson Flame Domain, where he said his current strength was at the upper end of Sun Rank.
• Dozens of dragons gathered, and Lance Tiamat recognized Xiluo as the dragon who had defeated his projection in the Dragon Soul Arena.
• Gulan told the dragons that Xiluo had come to spar and revealed that Xiluo was only about 1,150 years old, astonishing them.
• Gulan selected Aofeina Kulouba, a level 29 Heaven’s Mandate+ dragon, to fight Xiluo first, and Xiluo asked whether his rank counted as Star Rank.

Xiluo defeated two Star- and Moon-Rank dragons in succession during the sparring matches, revealing strength and abilities that astonished Gulan Tiamat and the others. After Oakley emerged wounded from a pocket dimension five hours later, Gulan confirmed that Xiluo had won again.

• Xiluo overwhelmed Red Flame Calamity Aofeina Kulouba with elemental attacks and knocked him unconscious after about twenty minutes.
• The watching dragons learned that Xiluo was only a little over a thousand years old and estimated his strength to be at least upper-middle Moon Rank.
• Oakley challenged Xiluo and trapped the battlefield in a Time Domain, then struck what appeared to be Xiluo with his Time Hundredfold Strike.
• Xiluo attacked Oakley through space, saw through his Time Distortion, and pulled him into a pocket dimension with Chaos Currents.
• After about five hours, Oakley emerged from a spatial gate covered in wounds, and Gulan Tiamat said Xiluo had won again.

Xiluo Utrasis defeated Lance Tiamat after an eight-hour battle, then challenged Gulan Tiamat. Gulan began the fight confident but was quickly suppressed by Xiluo’s mastery of elemental and spatial power.

• Gulan accepted Xiluo’s challenge, but Xiluo unleashed a vast elemental domain and began suppressing him as the watching dragons looked on in disbelief.

Xiluo fought Gulan Tiamat in his ancient dragon form and proved he could contend with the strongest dragons, though he ultimately surrendered. After deciding to attack Mara the Hunting God's Divine Kingdom for divine blood, Xiluo gained Bahamut's support and began gathering the Holy Xiluo Empire's forces for an assault planned for the following year.

• Gulan Tiamat revealed his ancient dragon form, and Xiluo fought him across the Flame Domain before surrendering after several hours.
• Gulan Tiamat and Lance Tiamat questioned how Xiluo had grown so powerful, and Xiluo said his many bloodlines had miraculously fused.

• Xiluo persuaded Bahamut to support the attack and set the assault for the same day the following year so he could mobilize his forces.
• Xiluo began assembling the Holy Xiluo Empire's followers and dragons, who gathered in Abyssal Hell eager for the coming campaign.

Xiluo gathered the Holy Xiluo Empire’s dragons and soldiers to invade Mara the Hunting God’s Divine Kingdom with Bahamut’s help. The Divine Kingdoms became locked together as the dragons poured through an opening, and Mara empowered his believers to fight back.
