Chapter Summaries

Chen Zheng arrived at True Demon Valley after sensing that someone had crushed the Tongtian Decree, and saved the Wenren Clan from a sword cultivator searching for Wenren Zhenzhu. He killed the attacker with his own sword, while the Wenren Clan gave him an ancient token left by Wenren Zhenzhu.

• Chen Zheng told Yannü that his magical power had recovered to the Mid Heavenly Emperor Realm after he devoured the source of the Land of Divine Origin, then sensed the Tongtian Jade being crushed and departed for True Demon Valley.
• A sword cultivator slaughtered Wenren Clan members and threatened to kill the rest unless Wenren Zhenzhu appeared, while the old man said she was not there.
• Chen Zheng arrived and confirmed Wenren Zhenzhu was absent; the old man explained that she had left the Tongtian Decree and an ancient token for him.
• The sword cultivator tried to seize the token, but it flew to Chen Zheng, who advised him not to attack.
• The sword cultivator sent his bloodstained divine sword at Chen Zheng, but it turned back and pierced the attacker, shattering his primordial spirit.

• Sword Son of Heaven's blood spirit transformation threatened the Wenren Clan, and Chen Zheng explained his Slaughter Sword Physique and took the Ancient Token of Ending.
• Chen Zheng gave the Wenren Clan a Demon-Sealing Token and told them to seek the Supreme True Demon in the Great Void, so the old patriarch led the clan away.

Chen Zheng crushed Aotian with one hand and disappeared, leaving the outer realm wondering whether he would attend the Ancestral Dragon Holy Assembly.

• Outer-realm cultivators concluded that Aotian was acting with the Ancestral Dragon Emperor’s tacit approval to draw out Chen Zheng and threatened the Ten Clans of Gods and Demons if Chen Zheng did not appear.

After Chen Zheng killed Aotian, a beam of eternal power descended, suggesting the Invincible Myth might respond, but Chen Zheng remained unconcerned. He took Yin Jia and the Forsaken God-Devil Clan into the God-Devil Burial Pit, where Zhengyue swallowed its Calamity Eye; in the ancient hall below, they discovered strange torture implements and blood from a sacred dynasty ruler in the Great Void.

• A beam of eternal power struck down near the Ancestral Dragon Holy Court, and observers speculated that the Invincible Myth might challenge Chen Zheng.

• Chen Zheng and the others explored the deepest part of the burial pit, where the God-Demon Sacred Venerable found altered rooms, torture-like implements, and true blood from a sacred dynasty in the Great Void.

Breat revealed that Yin Jia’s matching magical power came from an imperfect Great Replication Technique created by his master, who had tried to replicate someone exceptionally special. After Breat showed the group his master’s image, a woman emerged from Chen Zheng’s brow, looking identical to the image and making everyone want to bow before her.

The god clans gathered at Hongtian Sacred Mountain, but none could cross its divine bridge. Chen Zheng arrived and watched as the Four Aspects God Clan’s patriarch and half-step Epoch Hegemon both failed, leaving the mountain’s entrance beyond their reach.

• Mo Tu challenged Ji Fanxi to a wager over whether the Four Aspects God Clan could ascend Hongtian Sacred Mountain, but Chen Zheng arrived before Ji Fanxi could answer.
• Tu Mo asked Chen Zheng to stay out of the god clans’ contest, and Chen Zheng questioned whether any of them could ascend the mountain at all.

• The Four Aspects God Clan’s half-step Epoch Hegemon reached the final thirty feet, then failed to set down his foot and was blasted away.
• The Dao-Devouring Beast remarked that crossing the divine bridge was harder than climbing to the blue heavens.

• Chen Zheng walked into the palace master's hall without answering the Second Palace Master's question about why she was lucky, and she followed him inside.

Chen Zheng entered Eternal Life Asgard Palace and effortlessly repaired Eternal Life Immortal Mother’s cultivation flaw. When she led him to the divine tree he sought, it tried to flee, then returned and offered him a divine fruit.
