Chapter Summaries

Blood Rain King, Bright Stele King, and Jiang Yue escaped the Myriad Saints Ancient Star using Ning Chuan’s black tokens and delivered the remaining tokens to Zhao Qinglian in the Chaos Blood Domain. As Zhao Qinglian prepared to test them, Ning Chuan watched events unfold and continued planning how to take World Annihilation from Yin Xuan.

• Blood Rain King, Bright Stele King, and Jiang Yue used the black tokens to pass through the Myriad Saints Ancient Star’s array and escape without detection.
• Jiang Yue warned the other devils that the white and gray tokens’ power was weakening and that they should bring them to Azure King as Ning Chuan had instructed.
• Zhao Qinglian met the three devils in the Chaos Blood Domain, where Blood Rain King described the tokens and their escape.
• Zhao Qinglian proposed testing the tokens against search parties from the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom, and the devils agreed to discuss how to verify their effects.
• Ning Chuan sensed that the devils had met Zhao Qinglian and expected the test results to give him leverage in securing their cooperation.
• Ning Chuan continued gathering intelligence on the investigation into Tu Gu’s death and prepared for a True God to arrive at the All Saints Manor.

Ning Chuan concealed his identity as True God Si Mingce searched Myriad Saints Ancient Star for devils and investigated Tu Gu’s murder. Si Mingce traced the killer’s abilities but failed to follow his fate, suspecting that a rival fate-path True God was protecting the black-robed assassin.

• Ning Chuan narrowed his probing range as Si Mingce arrived at the All Saints Manor and searched the ancient star, but Si Mingce concluded that the three devils had fled.
• Si Mingce went to Tu Gu’s estate and used a compass to reconstruct the killing, discovering that the assassin was a Demigod skilled in assassination and a spatial Law.
• Ning Chuan questioned Mei Xiaoyao about Zhao Qinglian’s grudge against Si Mingce, and Mei Xiaoyao guarded her thoughts.
• Si Mingce tried to trace the black-robed killer’s fate but failed, concluding that a fate-path True God of nearly his own level was likely involved.

Ning Chuan watched Si Mingce investigate the killings and concluded that a hidden True God of fate was behind them. Si Mingce refused to remain at All Saints Manor, leaving Ning Chuan room to continue his plan to seize World Annihilation.

• Si Mingce retraced the death of a Universe Realm commander and determined that the killer might also have assassinated Tu Gu, with a True God proficient in fate likely directing events.
• Yin Xuan asked Si Mingce to guard All Saints Manor, but Si Mingce refused, warning that doing so might serve the enemy’s larger scheme.
• Si Mingce ordered the manor’s leaders to request more imperial reserves and seek his help if they faced danger they could not handle.
• Si Mingce investigated several more locations and left All Saints Manor that same day.
• Ning Chuan decided he could still proceed with his plan and expected the fiends to have tested the token’s effects.

The fiends tested the tokens Ning Chuan provided and confirmed they could mislead even the Cloud Fate Palace’s fate-proficient True God. They chose representatives to negotiate with him, and Ning Chuan appeared as the black-robed man, already aware of their tests.

• Jiang Yue and Zhao Qinglian reported that a token concealed their Universe Realm subordinate after the fiends killed a Demigod descendant of the Cloud Fate Palace, whose palace master personally searched for the killer.
• Zhao Qinglian said tokens that muddled heavenly secrets sent pursuing Kings and Marquises north and west, convincing the fiends the tokens worked as promised.
• The fiends agreed to cooperate with Ning Chuan and selected Zhao Qinglian, the Shadow King, and the Blood Rain King to negotiate terms.
• Mei Xiaoyao told the representatives Ning Chuan already knew they had contacted her, and Ning Chuan appeared in projection and confirmed they had tested the tokens.

Ning Chuan negotiated with Zhao Qinglian, the Shadow King, and the Blood Rain King over tokens for a mission involving World Annihilation, using his knowledge of their fates to insist they would accept his terms. He ended the communication after revealing that the next meeting would take place near their current location in three days, leaving the fiends shaken by the implied reach of the True God behind him.

• The Blood Rain King demanded unlimited supplies of all three token types, but Ning Chuan rejected the request and laid out fixed quantities and conditions for each kind.
• Ning Chuan insisted his offer was final and predicted that more than ninety percent of the fiends would accept it; the Blood Rain King returned from a vote without disputing his prediction.
• Zhao Qinglian asked what the mission entailed, and Ning Chuan said someone else would explain the details and arrange a meeting with their masters in three days.
• Ning Chuan named the shattered planet belt on the southern side of the Chaos Blood Domain as the meeting place, alarming the fiends because they were already nearby.
• Ning Chuan ended the communication, having traced the Blood Rain King through a token he had made.

Ning Chuan used his Desolate Body to recruit Zhao Qinglian and the other fiends into a plan to distract the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom from All Saints Manor and the seizure of World Annihilation. He promised to join their attacks and claimed that, by the time Si Mingce discovered their true intentions, All Saints Manor would already be nearing its end.

• Ning Chuan left All Saints Manor in his Desolate Body and traveled to meet Zhao Qinglian and the other fiends.
• Ning Chuan ordered the fiends to recruit trusted Kings and Marquises, then gave them tokens and directed them to attack the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom.
• The Shadow King reminded Ning Chuan that their agreement with No. 3 was to raid the Prison-Suppressing Manor's treasury and seize World Annihilation from Yin Xuan.
• When a fiend questioned the purpose of the costly tokens, Ning Chuan described the operation as part of a larger storm and said Si Mingce already knew it was coming.
• Ning Chuan demonstrated the Desolate Heavenly Art, promised the True Gods would not find the fiends, and said he would act alongside them until All Saints Manor was nearing its end.

Ning Chuan and the devils secretly eliminated the Demigods guarding the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom’s military bases while he used his true body to mislead Si Mingce about his plans. As the winter hunt approached, Ning Chuan believed Si Mingce had taken the bait and was focused on defending the imperial palace, clearing the way for his attempt to seize World Annihilation.

• Ning Chuan sealed the Northern War Zone commander’s hall with the Desolate Heavenly Art, allowing Zhao Qinglian and the devils to kill the commander unseen.
• Ning Chuan’s group killed all thirteen Demigods at the Northern War Zone command center, and similar attacks wiped out Demigods in the western and southern war zones.
• Si Mingce deduced that a fate-skilled True God was behind the killings and suspected the attacks were meant to bring down the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom.
• Ning Chuan coordinated his true body and Desolate Body to mislead Si Mingce while preparing to seize World Annihilation during the winter hunt.
• Ning Chuan’s devils suffered losses in an ambush, but his plan remained concealed, and he judged that Si Mingce had made the imperial palace his highest priority.

Ning Chuan prepared to turn the All Saints Manor’s Winter Hunt into an attack on its organizers, while advancing his cultivation and arranging a covert operation. With the hunt about to begin, he left the assault to his forty-nine fiends and vanished in the Feather Ridge Domain after planting misleading Law fluctuations to delay any True God reinforcements.

• Ning Chuan learned that his Chaos Law had advanced to the Universe Realm, while his body cultivation reached the King-Bestowing tier, giving him the power to challenge top Kings and Marquises.
• While setting up security for the Winter Hunt, Ning Chuan recalled that the event would use descendants of Martial Star humans as prey and anticipated taking revenge on the All Saints Manor.
• After more than a month, Ning Chuan judged that his strength had grown enough to give him a seventy-percent chance of killing Yin Xuan and decided the operation was ready to begin.
• Ning Chuan’s Desolate Body appointed Number Three to lead the forty-nine fiends’ assault on the All Saints Manor and departed without explaining his own role.
• In the Feather Ridge Domain, Ning Chuan’s Desolate Body vanished after leaving faint Law fluctuations designed to make approaching True Gods suspect an ambush and delay their arrival.

As the All Saints Manor began its Winter Hunt targeting Martial Star humans, Ning Chuan and forty-nine fiends launched a coordinated attack to capture the contestants and distract the Manor’s defenders. The attack began as the contest livestream abruptly went black, revealing that the fiends had struck.

• Crowds gathered for the Winter Hunt and discussed its rewards, Ning Chuan, and the danger of provoking him.
• Ning Chuan ordered twenty-four fiends to capture elite contestants alive while Zhao Qinglian led the other twenty-four to distract the All Saints Manor by attacking its treasury.
• The fiends used Ning Chuan’s black tokens to conceal themselves as they silently dispersed through the venue.
• The Winter Hunt began, and the All Saints Manor’s livestream drew viewers from across the universe amid criticism of its treatment of Martial Star humans.
• The contest livestream and a prominent prodigy’s personal stream suddenly went black.

Ning Chuan and the fiends launched coordinated attacks on the Winter Hunt arena and All Saints Manor’s treasury, drawing Yin Xuan into battle. As the fiends gathered and endured World Annihilation’s devastating strike, Ning Chuan began comprehending the Great Dao of Destruction at a greatly accelerated pace.

• Ning Chuan ambushed and gravely wounded a Marquis-Bestowing prodigy, while the fiends struck competing prodigies across the arena.
• The fiends led by Zhao Qinglian attacked the treasury, killing several Kings and Marquises as Yin Xuan sent twelve defenders to the core area.
• Ning Chuan sensed the defenders’ movements and ordered the fiends in the arena to rally to him instead of continuing to capture targets.
• Si Mingce, Yin Zhu, and Yin Feng discussed the invasion and chose to leave the palace’s defenses unchanged while they assessed the situation.
• Yin Xuan unleashed World Annihilation on the gathered fiends, and Ning Chuan received a notification that he had begun comprehending the Great Dao of Destruction at 5,000 times his usual cultivation speed.

Ning Chuan and the devils used captured prodigies to restrain Yin Xuan from unleashing World Annihilation at full force while demanding access to the All Saints Manor’s treasury. As the battle stalemated and the Myriad Saints Ancient Star was devastated, survivors fled and news of the Demigod invasion spread.

• Yin Xuan attacked the devils with World Annihilation, but they used captured prodigies as shields, and several prodigies died in the black fog.
• The Blood Rain King blamed the All Saints Manor for killing prodigies from the Evergreen Divine Kingdom and the Astral Heaven Pavilion, while Ning Chuan demanded that the Manor’s defenders open its treasury.
• Jiang Yue demanded that Yin Xuan leave their detection range or surrender World Annihilation, and Yin Xuan held back his attacks to avoid killing more prodigies.
• Ning Chuan used Yin Star’s Star Core fragment to activate its sealing power and confirmed that his fifty-thousandfold time acceleration remained active.
• Yin Zhu targeted Ning Chuan with World Annihilation, but the other devils protected him, and the fighting inside and outside the attack’s range reached a stalemate.
• The battles devastated the Myriad Saints Ancient Star, forcing the uncaptured geniuses and other residents to evacuate as news of the invasion spread.

Ning Chuan’s attack on the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom drew reinforcements to the All Saints Manor, where Zhao Qinglian and the fiends were pushed into a desperate fight. Trapped inside World Annihilation, Ning Chuan finally advanced his Great Dao of Destruction to the Nebula Realm.

• Si Mingce deduced that the attack on the All Saints Manor might be a scheme to lure True Gods away from the palace, then agreed to lead a clone and reinforcements to the manor.
• Si Mingce’s clone arrived with Kings and Marquises and helped push Zhao Qinglian’s fiends onto the defensive.
• Inside World Annihilation, the trapped fiends urged Ning Chuan to hurry as their injuries worsened and Zhao Qinglian neared defeat.
• Ning Chuan reached a breakthrough in his comprehension and advanced the Great Dao of Destruction to the Nebula Realm.

Ning Chuan ended his secluded cultivation when the Great Dao of Destruction entered the Upper Three Realms and attacked Yin Xuan by disrupting his control of World Annihilation. He badly wounded Yin Xuan and pursued him through the weapon’s defenses, leaving the battle’s outcome unresolved.

• Ning Chuan assessed his progress, including advancing the Great Dao of Destruction into the Nebula Realm and opening three more Divine Treasures.
• Ning Chuan ordered the fiends to attack Yin Xuan while he secretly interfered with Yin Xuan’s control of World Annihilation.
• Yin Xuan struggled to wield only part of World Annihilation’s power as he defended against the fiends’ attacks.
• Ning Chuan launched the Heaven-Slaying Art as a pitch-black sword, pierced Yin Xuan’s defenses, and blasted a hole through his chest.
• Yin Xuan abandoned the captured prodigies and fiends to protect himself and recover, but Ning Chuan opened a gap in World Annihilation’s defenses and charged after him.

Ning Chuan revealed his identity at All Saints Manor and fought Yin Xuan to seize World Annihilation before help could arrive. His appearance shook the universe as he drove Yin Xuan deep into Myriad Saints Ancient Star and continued his assault.

• Ning Chuan sent the injured fiends to support Zhao Qinglian and ordered them to help her open a passage to the Chaos Blood Domain.
• Ning Chuan revealed his true appearance and attacked Yin Xuan, whose World Annihilation defenses had been weakened.
• Zhao Qinglian, Si Mingce, and others doubted whether the apparent Ning Chuan was genuine, while Yin Feng set out to investigate and potentially kill him.
• News of Ning Chuan's appearance spread across the universe, prompting powerful factions to send True Gods to investigate.
• Ning Chuan overwhelmed Yin Xuan with successive attacks and pursued him into Myriad Saints Ancient Star's core, causing the planet to crack and erupt with magma.

Ning Chuan killed Yin Xuan and took control of World Annihilation, then used it to slaughter the Kings and Marquises at All Saints Manor. He gathered the Heavenly Fate Origin Qi, organized the fiends, and seized Mei Xiaoyao from a nearby planet before leaving.

• Yin Feng sensed Ning Chuan's disguised laws in Feather Ridge Domain and warned Yin Zhu and Si Mingce, who hesitated to send reinforcements.
• Ning Chuan defeated and killed Yin Xuan, preventing him from detonating World Annihilation, then claimed the weapon and extracted Yin Xuan's damaged soul.
• Ning Chuan unleashed World Annihilation across All Saints Manor's core area, killing Si Mingce's clone and the manor's Kings and Marquises.
• Ning Chuan took the Heavenly Fate Origin Qi, ordered the fiends to collect treasures and protect Zhao Qinglian, and flew away from Myriad Saints Ancient Star.
• Ning Chuan broke through the defenses of a nearby planet and seized Mei Xiaoyao without harming its inhabitants.

Ning Chuan entered the Chaos Blood Domain with Mei Xiaoyao and investigated the strange resonance between its red mist and his Divine Treasures. After reassuring the devils that he would honor their agreement and distributing Fate Tokens, he suggested they might work together again.

• Ning Chuan returned to the Myriad Saints Ancient Star, brought Mei Xiaoyao through Zhao Qinglian's passage, and entered the Chaos Blood Domain with her.
• Ning Chuan explored Yin Xuan's soul memories, learning where the Yin Star's Great Dao Origins and Star Core fragments were kept, then crushed the soul and focused on the red mist's resonance with his Divine Treasures.
• Zhao Qinglian and the other devils arrived, and Mei Xiaoyao asked whether Ning Chuan's appearance was real or a disguise.
• After Blood Rain King reminded the devils that World Annihilation could defeat them, Ning Chuan jokingly threatened them, then said he would honor their agreement and distributed Fate Tokens by merit.
• When the devils asked to buy more tokens, Ning Chuan refused but said they could work together again if an opportunity arose.

Ning Chuan and Zhao Qinglian led their group through unfamiliar depths of the Chaos Blood Domain after the Blood Stone failed to guide them. The journey ended with a fiend’s sudden death triggering a mountain to rise and unleash a wave of dark red mist upon them.

• Ning Chuan asked Zhao Qinglian how they could leave the unfamiliar wilderness, and she used her Blood Stone to seek guidance.
• Zhao Qinglian explained that the Blood Stone could not point out a direction, leaving the group to choose a route at random.
• Ning Chuan led the fiends forward, and they traveled on foot after a silent hurricane killed four of their companions.
• A fiend exploded into bloody mist immediately after saying that moving slowly was better than dying early.
• The wilderness shook, a barren mountain rose from the ground, and dense red mist surged toward Ning Chuan and the others.

Ning Chuan discovered nearly a hundred drops of God King essence blood in the Chaos Blood Domain, making World Annihilation seem less important. On Martial Star, the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom’s True Gods tested his Desolate Body, and Yin Feng concluded that Ning Chuan’s true body had left the planet.

• Ning Chuan warned the fiends not to use Force or Laws as an invisible power caused several to burst into bloody mist.
• Ning Chuan and the body-cultivating Kings and Marquises saw a mountain topped with nearly a hundred drops of God King essence blood.
• Ning Chuan’s Desolate Body fought off probes from visiting geniuses, while factions focused their suspicions on him.
• Yin Zhu, Si Mingce, and Yin Feng confronted Ning Chuan’s Desolate Body and accused him of masterminding the attack on All Saints Manor.
• Yin Feng attacked a city to test Ning Chuan, and Ning Chuan’s Desolate Body shielded its people from the shockwaves.
• Yin Feng judged that Ning Chuan’s clone had Demigod-level strength and concluded that Ning Chuan’s true body had left Martial Star.

Yin Feng, Yin Zhu, and Si Mingce planned to hunt Ning Chuan and bar his return to Martial Star, while Ning Chuan remained confident that his rapid cultivation would soon make their pursuit futile. In the Chaos Blood Domain, the fiends discovered the mountain’s vast store of God King essence blood but held back, wary of the deaths around it.

• Yin Feng questioned Ning Chuan about leaving Martial Star for World Annihilation, but Ning Chuan refused to reveal his reasons.
• Yin Feng, Yin Zhu, and Si Mingce decided to ask the Underworld for help searching the Chaos Blood Domain, while Yin Zhu’s incarnation would block Ning Chuan’s return to Martial Star.
• Ning Chuan reasoned that he could overcome a True God pursuit and expected to reach the True God realm in about five years, with the God King essence blood in the Chaos Blood Domain promising further gains.
• The fiends in the Chaos Blood Domain saw the mountain’s immense store of God King essence blood, but remembered the strange deaths and chose to leave before investigating.

Ning Chuan resonated with the God King essence blood on the mountaintop and drew three drops into his body, though doing so did not weaken the crimson mist or the force threatening the group. Each drop entered a different Divine Treasure and dramatically accelerated its cultivation, while everyone remained trapped.

• Zhao Qinglian suggested that the God King essence blood might be powering the crimson mist and the force that had killed Crying Cloud King and the others.
• Ning Chuan and several body-cultivating Kings and Marquises attempted to resonate with the essence blood, but only Ning Chuan succeeded.
• Three drops of God King essence blood flew from the mountaintop and entered Ning Chuan, each settling into Desolate Antiquity, Martial Dao Heavenly Eye, or Extreme Cold.
• The group found that neither the crimson mist nor the invisible force had weakened after the three drops were taken.
• Desolate Antiquity, Martial Dao Heavenly Eye, and Extreme Cold absorbed the essence blood, increasing their cultivation speeds by 30,000-fold, 29,000-fold, and 32,000-fold, respectively.
