Chapter Summaries

Hermoz warned Sibada Haoli that Lin Heng could match a Great Perfection of the Creation Realm cultivator and offered him a powerful treasure to ensure he would fight. Lin Heng signed in on Primordial Qi Island, obtained the Endless Flow armor, and prepared to make Hermoz pay for pursuing him.

• Hermoz told Sibada Haoli that Lin Heng had easily defeated three Middle Creation Realm cultivators and might be as strong as someone at the Great Perfection of the Creation Realm.
• Sibada Haoli declared he would fight Lin Heng, and Hermoz gave him a second-class acquired Heavenly Punishment Universe Treasure, promising an even greater reward for Mu Chen's inheritance.
• Lin Heng watched Hermoz give Sibada Haoli the curved blade and considered the weapon no match for his Demon Sin Spear.
• Lin Heng signed in on Primordial Qi Island in the Southern Spirit Sacred Sea and received Endless Flow, a first-class innate Heavenly Punishment Universe Treasure armor.
• Lin Heng assessed that the Demon Sin Spear, Endless Flow, and his five-layered universe world made him powerful enough to sweep through the Creation Realm, then resolved to make Hermoz pay.

• Hermoz privately threatened Lin Heng and offered to spare him in exchange for Mu Chen’s inheritance and promised him a First-Class Acquired Heavenly Punishment Universe Treasure.

• Xu Ziqi forfeited against Lin Heng, who won the first match without a fight.
• Sibada Haoli mocked Lan Tianhe and women before their match, prompting Lin Yue Yao to remind Hermoz that she had defeated him in the past.

• Hongjun declared Sibada Haoli the winner of the second battle, repaired the battlefield, and began the final match between Lin Heng and Sibada Haoli.
• Sibada Haoli taunted Lin Heng and raised his power to the threshold between the Great Perfection of the Creation Realm and the Early Stage of the Realm-Void Realm; Lin Heng recognized that Sibada Haoli was nearly at the next realm.

Lin Heng faced Sibada Haoli in battle, wielding a copied Demon Sin Spear that stunned the Lords of the Four Seas. After the opening exchanges badly injured Sibada Haoli’s hand, he wrongly assumed Lin Heng’s weapon was a First-Class Acquired Heavenly Punishment Universe Treasure.

• Sibada Haoli brought out his Second-Class Acquired Heavenly Punishment Universe Treasure, the Black Night Scimitar, to challenge Lin Heng.
• Lin Heng revealed a Demon Sin Spear identical to Dasiwoba’s personal weapon, and the other sea lords realized Lin Heng could copy treasures.

• Dasiwoba worried Lin Heng might accept another lord’s offer and considered sweetening his own deal.

Lin Heng received the promised rewards and inspected his new domain, learning that he would have to prove himself capable of holding it.

• Dasiwoba privately offered Lin Heng double Lin Yue Yao's terms and declared that Lin Heng would remain in the Western Celebratory Demon Sea.
• Lin Heng realized Hongjun and Lin Yue Yao had exaggerated their offers to pressure Dasiwoba into granting him better terms, while Hermoz chose not to bid.
• After the Heavenly Sea Contest ended, Dasiwoba gave Lin Heng his rewards and warned that claiming the promised two hundred million li of sea would depend on his strength.
• Chu Duanhun led Lin Heng to his territory and explained that beings from the Four Seas' own universes lived beneath the water and that cultivators had to defend their domains.

• Ao Lianxin declined to accompany Lin Heng, claiming fear, but Lin Heng recognized that Ao Lianxin wanted to judge his strength without risking himself.
• Lin Heng reflected on the harshness of cultivation and felt eager to experience the struggles of the underwater world again.

Lin Heng learned that the Demon Cultivators of the Chaotic Demon Sea fought to attract Dasiwoba's attention and escape the underwater world, while Dasiwoba recognized Lin Heng's covert approach as part of their contest.

• Lin Heng replied that his fate was in his own hands alone.

Fate told Lin Heng that he had escaped the destiny recorded for him and changed the lives of those around him, but said Lin Heng had not yet reached the same level of understanding. After Fate vanished, Dijiang revealed that a mysterious opportunity would appear during a coming war in the Four Seas, one unknown even to Primordial Chaos.
