Chapter Summaries

Li Wuyang guided the Nirvana Flame and Creation Starfire into forming a stable Chaos Vortex that began nurturing Xuan's Life Embryo. When the Taotie Demon Lord and Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix damaged and tilted the Eternal Furnace, Li Wuyang realized the embryo and his consciousness were in immediate danger and grasped at a desperate idea.

• Li Wuyang guided the colliding flames with the Light of Chaos until it stabilized and joined them.
• The Light of Chaos formed a balanced Chaos Vortex from Xuan's Source of Annihilation and the Origin Starfire, beginning to nurture a Life Embryo.
• The Taotie Demon Lord and Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix turned their attacks on the Eternal Furnace and shattered its defensive light screen.
• The damaged furnace tilted, destabilizing the vortex and threatening to expose Xuan's Embryo and Li Wuyang's consciousness to a deadly region.
• Li Wuyang recognized that he had to steady the furnace or escape, then conceived a desperate plan after noticing the newborn embryo.

Li Wuyang risked merging his consciousness and newly formed Chaos Origin with the Eternal Furnace to stop it from collapsing under the attacks of two quasi-saints. With the furnace’s artifact spirit supporting him, he began guiding it toward a calmer gap in the sea of flames while Xuan’s embryo remained inside.

• Li Wuyang decided to merge with the damaged Eternal Furnace, using his Chaos Origin as a bridge despite the danger to his consciousness and Xuan’s embryo.
• Li Wuyang reached the furnace wall with his Chaos Origin, awakening the Eternal Furnace’s wary artifact spirit.
• Li Wuyang shared his intentions and insights into the Dao, and the artifact spirit allowed him to connect with the furnace’s core laws.

• Li Wuyang and the artifact spirit slowly guided the battered furnace toward a calmer gap, while the two quasi-saints attacked it with devouring power and chains of flame.

After escaping the Taotie Demon Lord and the Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix through a spatial rift, Li Wuyang awoke in an empty void with the Eternal Furnace badly damaged and Xuan’s Life Embryo barely alive. He rekindled the artifact spirit and began guiding the furnace toward a faint spatial fluctuation, hoping to find a way out.

• Li Wuyang and the artifact spirit drove the Eternal Furnace through a spatial rift, but the crossing shattered parts of the furnace and nearly dispersed Li Wuyang’s consciousness.
• Li Wuyang awoke in the void and found the furnace ruined, the artifact spirit silent, and Xuan’s Life Embryo still alive at the core.
• Li Wuyang used the Chaos Origin to draw in the void’s faint primordial energy and sent thoughts to the artifact spirit to revive it.
• Li Wuyang sensed a distant spatial fluctuation and joined the faintly awakened artifact spirit in steering the furnace toward it.

After escaping the Domain of Ash and Flowing Fire, Bao Bao crossed the chaotic void and reached the Lost Realm, where it told the Great Elder and Ai Xi that Li Wuyang had vanished with the Eternal Furnace. The Great Elder decided to seek help at the Anchor of All Realms, and she and Bao Bao departed together to find a way to locate him.

• Bao Bao escaped the Domain of Ash and Flowing Fire and journeyed alone toward the Lost Realm, surviving dangers while its Void Spirit Bloodline awakened and its strength grew to the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm.
• Bao Bao reached the Lost Realm and told the Great Elder and Ai Xi that Li Wuyang had merged with the Eternal Furnace, vanished into a spatial rift, and been besieged by the Taotie Demon Lord and the Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix.
• The Great Elder healed Bao Bao and learned that it could sense Li Wuyang and the furnace as a tiny, distant point in the void.
• The Great Elder decided to seek information and aid at the Anchor of All Realms, since the Lost Realm could not face the Quasi-Saint-level threat alone.
• Ai Xi stayed behind to guard the Lost Realm as the Great Elder and Bao Bao entered an ancient teleportation array and departed for the Anchor of All Realms.

The Great Elder and Bao Bao arrived at the Anchor of All Realms to seek help finding the Eternal Furnace and Li Wuyang, but discovered that the Stomach of the Glutton had already placed a huge bounty for clues to the furnace and its Origin Starfire. They posted a discreet mission at the Heavenly Secrets Stone House, where its mysterious old proprietor recognized the Great Elder’s aura and hinted that a larger scheme was stirring.

• The Great Elder brought Bao Bao into the Anchor of All Realms and headed to Myriad Manifestations Thoroughfare to post a search mission.
• The Stomach of the Glutton's agents posted a lavish bounty for clues about the Eternal Furnace and its Origin Starfire, drawing greedy crowds.
• The Great Elder warned Bao Bao that the bounty would make finding Li Wuyang more dangerous and said they should seek people willing to brave the Land of Nothingness.
• The Great Elder gave a concealed mission and a deposit to the old man at the Heavenly Secrets Stone House, asking for someone who did not fear Taotie.
• After the Great Elder and Bao Bao left, the old man recognized the aura of annihilation and a Ruin Spirit bloodline, then said the long-silent chessboard was about to see new pieces placed.

As Li Wuyang’s consciousness faded, he fused his final will into the Chaos Origin, awakening a resonance that helped the furnace spirit detect a spatial coordinate. Li Wuyang then sank into darkness as the furnace drifted toward the coordinate, while Bao Bao sensed a clearer direction at the Anchor of All Realms.

• Li Wuyang poured his memories and determination into the Chaos Origin as his consciousness neared extinction.
• The awakened Chaos Origin resonated with Xuan’s embryo and the furnace spirit, stirring them and strengthening a distant spatial fluctuation.

• The furnace began drifting toward the fixed coordinate, guided by the furnace spirit’s final strength.
• Bao Bao sensed the neighbor’s direction more clearly and told the Great Elder, who said they could seek suitable helpers.

The Great Elder used Bao Bao’s bloodline to locate the Eternal Furnace and began gathering allies to rescue Li Wuyang in the Land of Nothingness. As the furnace raced toward its destination, ships bearing the Stomach of the Glutton’s emblem secretly pursued it.

• The Heavenly Secrets Stone House’s old man saw the Eternal Furnace appear in the star chart and noted that the time was drawing near.
• The Taotie Demon Lord ordered the Stomach of the Glutton to accelerate its search for the Eternal Furnace and its starfire.

• Shadow Fiend confirmed that the Eternal Furnace was their target and ordered his ships to follow it, report its location, and weave a Void Immortal Trapping Net.
• The artifact spirit sensed danger and sent a faint warning, but it could not awaken Li Wuyang.
• Bao Bao sensed concealed pursuers closing in on the furnace and warned the Great Elder, Aidera, and Jiyun.
• Aidera identified the likely pursuers as the Shadow Shuttle Division, while Jiyun recognized that they were preparing a Void Immortal Trapping Net.
• The Great Elder ordered the group to leave immediately, offered her spirit crystals and treasured artifacts, and set out with Aidera and Jiyun aboard the Star Chaser guided by Bao Bao.

Shadow Fiend’s forces trapped the Eternal Furnace in an Immortal Trapping Net and battered it as Li Wuyang struggled to protect Xuan’s embryo. Li Wuyang sent a distress ripple that Bao Bao sensed, and the Star Chaser raced toward the furnace as it neared collapse.

• Shadow Fiend ordered the Immortal Trapping Net closed around the Eternal Furnace and had the three Void Ships attack it while waiting for the Demon Venerable’s reinforcements.
• The net’s assault worsened the furnace’s cracks and dimmed the Chaos Origin, jolting Li Wuyang’s fading consciousness awake to the danger to Xuan’s embryo.
• Li Wuyang’s will strengthened the Chaos Origin, which weakened the net long enough for the artifact spirit to unleash a burst of Power of Creation and chaotic aura.
• Li Wuyang used the Chaos Origin to send a distress ripple into the void as Shadow Fiend ordered a full assault on the nearly collapsing furnace.
• Bao Bao sensed Li Wuyang’s call aboard the Star Chaser, and the Great Elder, Aidera, and Jiyun hurried the ship toward him at full speed.

The Star Chaser arrived as Ying Sha’s forces nearly destroyed the Eternal Furnace, and the Great Elder, Aidera, Bao Bao, and Jiyun broke the siege and drove them away. The furnace was stabilized, but Li Wuyang remained barely conscious inside, leaving the rescue unfinished.

• Aidera brought the Star Chaser into battle, and its cannons crippled one of Ying Sha’s Void Ships.
• The Great Elder stabilized the Eternal Furnace while Bao Bao soothed the turbulent space around it.
• Aidera’s starship came under fire from Ying Sha’s remaining ships, and Jiyun used the Ancient Zither to weaken the attacks and destroy the Void Immortal Trapping Net.
• The Great Elder repaired the furnace as Aidera counterattacked, forcing Ying Sha and the remaining Void Ships to retreat.
• The Great Elder found only silence inside the furnace, where the faint Chaos Origin showed Li Wuyang was still barely conscious.

The Great Elder, Aidera, and Jiyun used life energy, starlight, and music to strengthen Xuan’s Embryo and draw Li Wuyang out of his near-death state. Li Wuyang regained basic clarity and began repairing his consciousness, but the Eternal Furnace remained damaged and the Taotie Demon Lord’s reinforcements could still arrive.

• The Great Elder probed the damaged Eternal Furnace and found Li Wuyang barely conscious, while Bao Bao sensed Xuan’s Embryo deep inside.
• Jiyun suggested that Xuan’s Embryo could serve as a catalyst, and the Great Elder asked Aidera and Jiyun to stabilize the furnace and soothe its chaotic laws.

• Xuan’s likeness emerged from the Chaos vortex, and its aura stirred Li Wuyang’s will and caused the Chaos Origin to flare brightly.
• Li Wuyang awakened enough to thank his rescuers, then began repairing his consciousness while Xuan’s Embryo returned to sleep and grow.

The Taotie Demon Lord arrived in person and attacked the Eternal Furnace and the Star Chaser, forcing Li Wuyang to burn his own origin and the furnace with a chaos fire to resist. The battle remained unresolved as Li Wuyang and his allies struggled to hold off the quasi-Saint.

• Jiyun attacked Taotie's demonic creatures with musical sword energy while Aidera fired the Star Chaser's main cannon and the Great Elder maintained the defense.
• Li Wuyang and his allies held off Taotie's assault as Xuan's embryo grew stronger within the furnace.

Li Wuyang sacrificed his consciousness and poured his power into Xuan's embryo, awakening her Finger of Annihilation and forcing the Taotie Demon Lord to retreat. The survivors found Li Wuyang's consciousness gone, but Jiyun suggested that new life might be beginning within the furnace.

• The Taotie Demon Lord unleashed Devour Heaven and Earth, overwhelming the Eternal Furnace and the rescue party.
• Li Wuyang poured his flames, will, and Origin into Xuan's embryo, and his consciousness vanished as the Chaos fire went out.

• The Taotie Demon Lord retreated after sensing the power within the furnace, leaving the battered survivors behind.
• The Great Elder found Li Wuyang's consciousness gone, while Jiyun suggested that new life might be emerging in the furnace core.

After Li Wuyang sacrificed himself to revive Xuan, the Great Elder, Aidera, Jiyun, and Bao Bao discovered that his will had fused with Xuan’s Source of Annihilation and the Starfire’s power. Li Wuyang was reborn as a baby with a nascent Chaos Dao Body, and they began protecting him as he started a new life.

• The Great Elder, Aidera, and Jiyun nourished and protected the newborn while Bao Bao reacted with confusion and delight.

Li Wuyang awakened in the Eternal Furnace with a newly formed Chaos Dao Body, discovering that he had fused with Xuan’s origin and that a sliver of Xuan’s consciousness had revived. He told the Great Elder, Aidera, Jiyun, and Bao Bao that he planned to cultivate, nurture Xuan, and grow strong enough to confront the Stomach of the Glutton.

• Li Wuyang opened his eyes in the Eternal Furnace and realized he had become both himself and part of Xuan’s origin in a Chaos Dao Body.

• Li Wuyang decided to find a safe place to cultivate, stabilize his Dao Body, help Xuan awaken, and eventually settle the score with the Stomach of the Glutton.

Li Wuyang chose to travel to the Myriad Worlds Star Sea with his companions, hoping to find a place to settle and strengthen himself. After the Eternal Furnace merged with his Chaos Imprint, the group departed aboard the Star Chaser, leaving Li Wuyang determined to reunite with Xuan and find his missing friends.

• Li Wuyang looked forward to reuniting with Xuan and finding Bao Bao, Little Fire, Yingying, Huaihuai, and Jinbao.

After reaching the Myriad Worlds Star Sea, Li Wuyang and his companions settled on Dust Star as a temporary base. They rented a cheap, supposedly haunted courtyard in Dust Market, where they discovered a genuinely chilling presence inside.

• The Star Chaser arrived at the Shattered Star Belt, and Aidera recommended Dust Star as a place to settle and gather information.
• Aidera brought the group to Dust Market, where Li Wuyang chose an inexpensive third-class residence because they had little money.
• The rat demon manager offered them a remote courtyard for ten low-grade Spirit Crystals a month, warning that its previous residents had fled after hearing strange noises.
• Li Wuyang and his companions found the courtyard dilapidated and sensed a chilling aura and faint sobbing from its stone house.
• Li Wuyang pushed open the gate and entered the courtyard, intrigued by whatever haunted it.

Li Wuyang and his companions uncovered an ancient underground palace beneath the haunted house, where he subdued a remnant soul and claimed a broken sword tip imbued with Annihilation Sword Intent. Removing it revealed a spatial passage leading to an unknown destination.

• Li Wuyang used Chaos Qi to dispel the haunted courtyard’s resentment, and the Great Elder found an ancient restriction concealing a chamber beneath the house.
• Jiyun used the Dao of Music to dissolve the restriction, and the group descended into a vast underground palace.
• Li Wuyang discovered a broken sword tip embedded in a statue and was attacked by the will of an ancient general.
• Li Wuyang absorbed the attack with his Chaos Dao Body and cleansed the general’s remnant soul, allowing it to dissipate peacefully.
• Li Wuyang removed the sword tip, triggering a passage to open behind the statue with spatial fluctuations and distant starlight.

Li Wuyang and his companions crossed an ancient passage from Dust Star into the Myriad Worlds Star Sea, where he rescued a Star Brilliance Merchant Alliance convoy from pirates. He discovered and received a Star Core fragment from Su Ya, but the fleeing pirates reported his strength to their lair.

• Li Wuyang led the Great Elder, Jiyun, and Bao Bao through the ancient passage, leaving Aidera behind on Dust Market.

• Su Ya gave Li Wuyang the fragment in gratitude for saving the convoy, and he offered her a promise of help if she faced trouble.
• The pirates escaped and reported that a powerful child had defeated them, setting the stage for a new threat.

Li Wuyang refined a Star Core fragment, strengthening his Chaos Dao Body and helping Xuan’s consciousness recover. After the energy was exhausted, his Chaos Imprint and Annihilation sword tip both pointed toward a distant place in the star sea, prompting him to continue onward.

• Li Wuyang entered seclusion with the Great Elder, Jiyun, and Bao Bao to refine the Star Core fragment.
• Li Wuyang absorbed the Star Creation Power, tempering his body and guiding some of the stellar origin to Xuan’s embryo.
• Xuan’s light mote grew denser, her phantom became clearer, and she briefly communicated with Li Wuyang.
• After several days, Li Wuyang finished refining the fragment, leaving his Dao Body stronger and Xuan’s phantom stable.
• The Chaos Imprint and Annihilation sword tip resonated toward the depths of the star sea, and Li Wuyang told the others they had to investigate.
