Chapter Summaries

Han Hao and his allies escaped Miller’s attack by retreating into the underground Palace, while Han Hao’s Bone Spike disrupted Miller’s Tornado and returned to him. At the Palace, Han Hao ordered Osoe and his people removed, suspecting Osoe had deliberately led pursuers to the Han Family’s refuge.

• Miller trapped Han Hao, Bolands, Blood Spirit, and Gilbert in his wind power, but Han Hao’s Bone Spikes tore through his attacks and freed the others.
• Han Hao led Bolands, Blood Spirit, and Gilbert underground as the fissure closed, and his Bone Spike later returned to his hand.
• Han Hao told Bolands that more than fifty people had died, mostly from his own forces, while Bolands’s people were unharmed.
• At the underground Palace, Han Hao learned that Osoe and his people had been placed in guest rooms there and demanded that they be moved outside.
• Han Hao accused Osoe of having ulterior motives for bringing pursuers to the Han Family, and Zoqi left to carry out Han Hao’s order despite Phoebe’s objections.

Han Hao prepared the Han Family for a possible attack, while Phoebe and the other women revealed that Han Shuo had been postponing having children until the dangers were over. When Demon-Hidden Valley’s alarm sounded, the family rushed toward the central hub as Han Hao confronted Regis and led Zoqi in retreat.

• Han Hao ordered the Han Family’s core members and the Five Elements Armored Corpses to prepare for an attack and move everyone toward Demon-Hidden Valley’s central hub if necessary.
• Phoebe, Emily, and the others told Stassom and Almerick that Han Shuo had prevented them from becoming pregnant because he wanted to wait until all danger had passed.
• A warning whistle sounded, and Phoebe, Stassom, Almerick, and the others hurried toward the secret chamber containing the central hub.
• Han Hao confronted Regis in a narrow cave and ordered Zoqi to fall back.
• Han Hao blocked the passage with a collapsed wall, raised a White Bone Shield against Regis’s lightning, and retreated with Zoqi.

Han Hao and the Han Family escaped the Godhunters through the underground palace with Han Tu’s help, while Andrina used a powerful treasure to drive Saiyalu back. They regrouped in the formation-control chamber and began sealing it as the Heaven-Extinction Formation’s energy flowed toward them.

• Han Hao stayed behind to hold off Regis while Zoqi escaped, then vanished after disrupting Regis’s pursuit.
• Han Tu opened hidden passages and collapsed others to guide the Han Family toward the central hub, while Osoe or Saiyalu approached his location.
• Saiyalu broke into Han Tu’s secret chamber, but Andrina blasted his earthen defense and gave the group time to escape.
• Han Tu led Han Jin, Han Mu, Han Shui, Han Huo, and Andrina through the barrier to the central chamber, where Han Hao confirmed everyone from Qio Continent had arrived.
• Han Hao ordered the Five Elements Armored Corpses to seal the entrance, and the Heaven-Extinction Formation began channeling energy toward the chamber as Daka felt its pressure lessen.

Han Hao and the Han Family members sheltered inside Han Shuo’s fortified secret chamber while Regis, Saiyalu, and Miller arrived to seize Demon-Hidden Valley. Their attacks failed to break through, and Osoe warned that continued assaults could free Daka and ruin their plans as they waited for Han Shuo to return.

• Han Hao warned the Han Family that seven Main Gods could eventually join forces against the secret chamber, then sat down to think about what to do.
• Regis and Saiyalu searched the underground palace, and Miller joined them; the three agreed to capture Demon-Hidden Valley’s secrets and leave Daka, Dagmar, and Aselst trapped.
• Regis and Miller tested the secret chamber’s walls with lightning and wind attacks, but the defenses absorbed their blows.
• Miller, Saiyalu, and Regis attacked the chamber together more than thirty times, yet failed to break through its layers of defenses.
• Osoe stopped the attackers, warning that their assaults weakened the force imprisoning Daka, then said they should prepare to confront Han Shuo when he returned.

Han Shuo returned to Demon-Hidden Valley and learned that Osoe had led Saiyalu, Miller, and Regis into the Han Family’s underground Palace while Daka, Dagmar, and Aselst remained trapped. He concealed Vasias and Saras, then entered the valley and turned Osoe’s ambush into a trap by placing him inside the Magic Array with Aselst.

• Han Shuo sensed powerful fluctuations in Demon-Hidden Valley’s formations and stopped to investigate rather than rushing in.
• Saras arrived, and Han Shuo revealed to him and Vasias that they were secretly on the same side.
• Saras told Han Shuo that Osoe had led Saiyalu, Miller, and Regis into the underground Palace, leaving seven Main Gods inside the valley.
• Han Shuo and his allies agreed that he would enter alone while Vasias and Saras stayed concealed.
• Osoe injured himself and staged a desperate escape so Saiyalu and his companions would appear to pursue him.
• Han Shuo shifted a Magic Array around Osoe, where the imprisoned Aselst mistook him for an enemy and attacked.

Han Shuo confronted Saiyalu, Regis, and Miller in Demon-Hidden Valley while Han Hao prepared to leave the secret chamber with Andrina. Han Shuo’s attack forced the three commanders to break their encirclement, but he then pretended to agree to reveal the valley’s secrets.

• Osoe remained trapped with Aselst, while Saiyalu, Regis, and Miller returned to the secret chamber to wait for Han Shuo.
• Han Hao sensed Han Shuo’s arrival and asked the Five Elements Armored Corpses to prepare to send him and Andrina out of the chamber.
• Han Shuo met Saiyalu, Regis, and Miller, who demanded that he reveal Demon-Hidden Valley’s secrets in exchange for letting his family leave.
• Saiyalu, Regis, and Miller spread out to surround Han Shuo, but Han Shuo summoned a gigantic palm that split into three and pursued them.
• The three commanders combined their attacks to disperse the palms, and Han Shuo offered to tell them everything he knew.

Han Shuo pretended to submit to Saiyalu, Regis, and Miller, but they used a tampered Soul Orb to extract his memories and trapped him in barriers. Vasias arrived and confronted them, while Saras joined the fight against Vasias and offered to side with the Godhunter Alliance.

• Han Shuo agreed to reveal Demon-Hidden Valley's secrets, but refused to let Saiyalu use the Soul Orb until Regis and Miller threatened his family.
• Han Shuo finally connected his soul to the Soul Orb, and Saiyalu, Regis, and Miller trapped him with lightning and restrictive barriers.
• Saiyalu revealed that the Soul Orb had been tampered with to kill Han Shuo while stealing his memories of the valley and his cultivation.
• Vasias emerged from the mist and demanded to know what the three had done to Brian, but Saiyalu ordered him to leave the valley.
• Saras appeared and attacked Vasias, blaming him and the others for taking his power in the Chaos Lands.
• Saras drove Vasias toward Saiyalu, Regis, and Miller and offered to join them against Daka.

Han Shuo and Little Skeleton trapped Saiyalu, Regis, and Miller through a staged attack with help from Vasias and Saras, while Han Shuo recovered the memories absorbed by the Soul Orb. With the three leaders contained and the Heaven-Extinction Formation reinforced, Han Shuo turned his attention to Osoe.

• Saiyalu signaled Miller and Regis to help Saras attack Vasias, and Vasias appeared to be overwhelmed by their combined lightning assault.
• Vasias and Saras revealed their deception, freezing and badly injuring Regis with a coordinated surprise attack.
• Vasias and Saras turned on Miller as Little Skeleton’s compass and bone spike weakened his defenses, while Han Shuo struck Saiyalu with a blood-red palm.
• Han Shuo’s blood-red claws seized Saiyalu, Regis, and Miller and stuffed them into a sealed chamber; he then shattered the Soul Orb and restored the absorbed memories to his External Incarnation.
• Han Shuo praised Vasias and Saras, then declared that Osoe deserved to die as Osoe continued fighting Aselst.

Han Shuo arrived in the stone-pillar formation where Osoe and Aselst were fighting, then turned on Osoe after revealing he knew about Osoe’s betrayal. The chapter ended with Vasias and Saras appearing as Han Shuo’s allies, leaving Aselst and Osoe shocked and outnumbered.

• Osoe and Aselst fought inside the formation while its stone pillars repeatedly disrupted their attacks.
• Han Shuo appeared, and the pillars’ light tore through Aselst’s Endless Darkness as Osoe urged Han Shuo to join him against Aselst.
• Han Shuo vanished and struck Osoe instead, revealing that he knew Osoe had brought Saiyalu, Regis, and Miller to Demon-Hidden Valley.
• Han Shuo told Osoe to end his own life, but Osoe insisted Han Shuo did not control the situation.
• Vasias and Saras emerged as Han Shuo’s allies, and Saras admitted he had helped bring down Aselst’s forces before they entered Demon-Hidden Valley.

Han Shuo trapped Osoe and joined Vasias and Saras against Aselst, while Han Hao defeated Dagmar in the illusion formation. Dagmar chose death over serving his former subordinate, and Han Hao discovered new powers in Dagmar’s White Bone Throne.

• Osoe failed to escape Han Shuo’s Demon-Hidden Valley with a Space Scroll, and Han Shuo attacked him as Vasias and Saras closed in on Aselst.
• Dagmar broke through the illusion realm, but Han Hao appeared and used the Godhead Fragment’s death power to overwhelm him.
• Han Hao demanded Dagmar’s allegiance, but Dagmar refused and destroyed his own body and divine soul rather than submit.
• Han Hao burned Dagmar’s corpse to ashes and picked up the Bone Ring that remained.
• Han Hao summoned the White Bone Throne and discovered that his death power awakened its abilities and formed a strange bond with him.

Gandalf and Kemor arrived at Demon-Hidden Valley, freeing Daka and threatening to release Han Shuo’s other prisoners as the Godhunter Alliance converged on the valley. With his plans unraveling and Dagmar dead, Han Shuo prepared for battle, but Vasias unexpectedly said Gandalf’s offer was acceptable.

• Gandalf used the Cross to weaken the Heaven-Extinction Formation, allowing Daka to escape.
• Han Shuo sensed the formation’s collapse as Kemor and Aselst joined forces, while Osoe moved toward them.
• Gandalf told Han Shuo that Rogg had escaped, Tyr had disappeared, and Balintan and Kaoze were freeing Regis and two other prisoners.
• Han Hao arrived on his White Bone Throne and announced that Dagmar was dead.
• Han Shuo declared that he might still survive by killing one or two Godhunter Commanders before they joined the others.
• Gandalf offered to spare Han Shuo and his family if he surrendered Demon-Hidden Valley and his Power Profound Truth, and Vasias unexpectedly accepted the proposal.

Han Shuo refused Gandalf and Daka’s offer to spare the Han Family and fought back with the Myriad Demon Cauldron and Godslaying Slash. Gandalf revealed the Golden Sacred Battle Armor and, captivated by the cauldron, charged toward it while Daka claimed Han Shuo’s other possessions.

• Vasias offered to sacrifice himself, while Saras refused to beg for mercy.
• Han Shuo rejected Gandalf and Daka’s terms and declared that he would resist despite the odds.
• Gandalf and Daka attacked Han Shuo as Kemor and Aselst engaged Vasias and Saras, restarting the battle.
• Han Shuo summoned the Myriad Demon Cauldron and launched the Godslaying Slash at Daka, forcing Daka to defend himself.
• The Myriad Demon Cauldron suppressed Gandalf’s Cross and struck him, prompting Gandalf to summon the Golden Sacred Battle Armor.
• Gandalf claimed he wanted the Myriad Demon Cauldron and charged at it, while Daka said he would take Han Shuo’s possessions.

Han Shuo’s battle against Gandalf and Daka intensified when his two external incarnations fused death and destruction into a new divine domain. Its clash with Han Hao’s godhead fragment exposed Han Hao’s secret and forced the fighters to reckon with the Death Main God Nester’s possible return.

• Han Shuo used the Myriad Demon Cauldron against Gandalf while his sword formation kept Daka occupied, and Han Hao fought Osoe with the White Bone Throne.
• Han Shuo summoned his two external incarnations, whose fused death and destruction powers created a divine domain that weakened Gandalf’s armor and disrupted Daka’s control of destruction.
• Han Hao’s godhead fragment manifested the Wraith Stele, and its power collided with Han Shuo’s divine domain, causing the domain to crumble and death energy to surge toward Han Hao.
• Gandalf recognized Han Hao’s godhead fragment, and the assembled fighters realized that Nester might return after sensing it.
• Daka urged the group to end the battle before Nester arrived, and Gandalf said that Regis, Saiyalu, Miller, and others had appeared.

Han Shuo faced the Godhunter Alliance’s commanders as they surrounded him, Vasias, Saras, and Han Hao, but he refused Gandalf’s offer to trade the valley’s secrets for his family’s safety. After learning that the rest of his family had escaped, Han Shuo unleashed a final move that shook Demon-Hidden Valley and split the ground open.

• Regis, Saiyalu, Miller, Balintan, and Kaoze joined the other commanders and sealed Han Shuo, Vasias, Saras, and Han Hao inside a barrier that disrupted Space Law.
• Han Hao suggested using the Blood Escape Technique, but Han Shuo hesitated because he feared for the rest of his family.
• Gandalf offered to spare the Han Family if Han Shuo revealed the valley’s secrets and his Power Profound Truth, but Daka and Saiyalu demanded that the family be destroyed.
• Han Mu told Han Shuo that Andrina and the Five Elements Armored Corpses had helped the family escape, and Han Shuo decided he had another way out.
• Han Shuo refused to surrender, and Vasias and Saras pledged to fight beside him rather than accept a deal that would save only Han Shuo.
• Han Shuo’s howl triggered violent explosions across Demon-Hidden Valley, shattered the prison chamber, and opened huge fissures as the commanders rushed to guard them.

Han Shuo unleashed Demon-Hidden Valley’s hidden powers against the Godhunter Commanders, creating an escape route for Vasias and Saras before his forces collided with theirs in a devastating blast. He later regained consciousness badly wounded, with his Heavenly Demon Indestructible Body unable to heal his injuries.

• Han Shuo activated Demon-Hidden Valley’s hidden formations, and its Heaven and Earth Origin Energy and baleful clouds began breaking through the Godhunter Commanders’ barriers.
• Saiyalu, Regis, and Miller offered to spare Han Shuo’s family if he revealed everything, while Vasias, Saras, and Han Hao rallied beside him.
• Han Shuo opened a fissure and urged Vasias and Saras to escape; they went through after Vasias trusted him and Saras pledged to acknowledge him as leader.
• The Godhunter Commanders attacked with their elemental powers as Han Shuo fused his souls and incarnations into a Divine Domain, while Han Hao summoned the Wraith Stele.
• Demon-Hidden Valley’s forces and Han Shuo’s Demonic Essence poured into the Divine Domain, which transformed and engulfed everyone in a blinding explosion.
• Han Shuo regained consciousness after an unknown time, covered in blood and suffering deep wounds that his Heavenly Demon Indestructible Body did not immediately heal.

Han Shuo discovered that the destruction of Demon-Hidden Valley had transformed the Demon Heads into thirteen powerful External Incarnations, while the Godhunter commanders had permanently lost some of their Divine Power. He combined six incarnations into a new form, killed Osoe with a single attack, and sent the remaining commanders fleeing.

• Gandalf said he had pressured Han Shuo to help him improve, and Han Shuo recognized him as the God of Light borrowing Gandalf’s body.

Han Shuo fought the Death Main God Nester to protect Han Hao from having his Godhead Fragment destroyed. As the battle was interrupted by a startling transformation, a new Godhead formed within Han Hao, leaving everyone stunned.

• The Goddess of Fate revealed that the Godhunter Alliance had to exist, then agreed with Gandalf and Nester to tell Han Shuo about Sky City.
• Nester moved to destroy Han Hao's Godhead Fragment, and Han Shuo vowed to stop him.

• Han Hao summoned the Wraith Stele and tried to join the fight, but it transformed into a spinning crystal at his chest.
• The Goddess of Fate stopped Nester, and she, Gandalf, and Nester recognized that a new Godhead had formed within Han Hao.

Little Skeleton Han Hao formed a new Godhead, astonishing the Main Gods, while Han Shuo and his son survived the destruction of Demon-Hidden Valley. After the gods departed, Han Shuo resolved to rebuild the valley and strengthen his power for the coming conflict before Sky City opens.

After the battle at Demon-Hidden Valley, Han Shuo sent Han Hao to gather intelligence while he reunited with Saras and Vasias and prepared to deal with the threats near Deep Valley. At Deep Valley, Akelie tried to persuade the remaining Poison Potion Masters to join the Han Family, claiming the Godhunter Alliance had been defeated and the Han Family would rule the Chaos Lands.

• Han Shuo sent Han Hao to mobilize the Godhunters, investigate the Chaos Lands, and track Tyr and Rogg.
