Chu Qing and his companions pursued titles and answers before Bi Luo recruited him to seize an Otherworlder ship. He fought through the ship’s deadly trial, defeated Marquis Black Gold, and left with First Illumination Person’s offer to revive Beauty’s Head.
Chu Qing refused First Illumination Person’s offer, set out to walk the ancient Mythological Path, and suppressed countless sects while pursuing a new killing move. After surviving the Underworld and killing two Outsiders, he returned to Liuli, where his Hand of God advanced and she resolved to preserve her legacy.
Chu Qing completed his Ancient Mythological Path, reached Emperor Seat, and fought the Divine Court’s Gods and Demons to defend human martial arts. After forcing the Four Heavenly Kings to kneel before millions, he turned to sealing the surviving fiends.
Chu Qing overcame the final Great Terrors, gained immense power, and began using his knowledge to challenge the Innate Gods and Demons. He also pursued the histories of Qiu Wudi and Liuli, then gathered his companions for a practical lesson against a God and Demon.
Chu Qing explored Liuli’s secret realm, claimed its Imperial Capital and resources, and fought overlords who tried to control or challenge him. He left with the city’s treasures after declaring himself Emperor Liuli, while Nangong and Cui Moyang resolved to follow the Ancient Mythological Path.
Chu Qing completed the Mountain River Dao, named the Reflection Realm, and killed the Uncrowned Overlord and Star-Picking Overlord. His new realm spread among Mountain Water Path cultivators, prompting the great powers to ban the path and hunt its practitioners as they summoned the Reflection Old Ancestor.
Chu Qing entered the forbidden zone to confront its retaliation, built a Fire Pit defense with New Realm experts, and fought the Forbidden Zone Master. A force of 720 Overlords arrived to assassinate Chu Qing but mistook the Master for their target, and the arc ended with more than a hundred aged Overlords charging Chu Qing to self-detonate.
Chu Qing carried the White Gold Fire Pit to the front lines, then entered the Prison Continent and released its prisoners, bringing the continent down and setting Heaven’s factions against one another. He continued sabotaging a prodigy-training continent, where the Heavenly God’s group arrived just as Chu Qing announced he would destroy it.
Chu Qing confronted Luo Feifan and Li Feiyang, then entered the Forbidden Zone and forced its higher powers to agree to stop the Black Tide from attacking his continent. He returned to Stone Ridge Mountain, empowered his allies, and ordered the commanders to bring his people home when the tide ended.
After ending the Black Tide, Chu Qing cultivated many paths while investigating the Liuli River’s barrier and helping allies confront hidden threats. He rescued Second Generation Yin Tianzi from terrifying creatures, brought him back to Stone Ridge Mountain, and began experimenting with the Crystal Skull.
Chu Qing forged his Exotic Treasure Realm, ravaged Heavenly Court territory, and fought the Emissaries of Heaven alongside Nangong and Cui Moyang. After returning to Stone Ridge Mountain, he named its intelligent beasts the Demon Race, and their mass homage heralded the race’s birth across the world.
Chu Qing crossed the continents, fighting Heaven’s obstacles and its champions as he pursued the Free Overlord title. He reached the Hundredth Continent, defeated its First Marquises, and earned the title One-Party Dominance.
Chu Qing forged Liuli Phenomenon and devastated the Heavenly Court’s armies, War Platform, and leadership while its cannon fodder rebelled and its treasury was seized. As Chu Qing began preparing to destroy the Headquarters Continent, the Allied Army halted its slaughter and moved to preserve the weakened Heavenly Court.
Chu Qing destroyed the Heavenly Court Headquarters Continent, gained a Forbidden Title, and learned that the Twelve Thousand Path Creators’ curse could erase him from memory. Years later, he escorted Tian Buyu through a forbidden-zone trial and was sent a hundred eras into the past, where they faced Dongfang Weiwo and ancient warriors.
Chu Qing returned from the past and discovered that Tian Buyu had vanished from history while Liu Ruyan held the title of Third Limit Martial Ancestor. As he searched for the truth and developed a New Realm, the Millennial Calamity spread, and he began forcing the empires to prepare for it.
Chu Qing forged twelve treasures to end the Millennial Calamity, then defeated Heaven’s attack and gained the Abyss title. After years of preparation, he joined the Heavenly God and the High Priest to rescue an Ancient God and Demon from the Sea of Death.
Chu Qing freed ancient prisoners and gathered cultivation knowledge before rescuing Second Generation Bi Luo from her pursuers. He helped her claim an Eternal title and begin conquering the Extreme Evil Continent, while Phoenix Emperor’s researchers traced Bi Luo’s history to a site on the present-day Extreme Joy Continent.
Chu Qing uncovered an ancient sealed screen, then confronted the Forbidden Zones as the Black Tide and its Fallen Emissary of Heaven legions advanced on Qingzhou. He led Qingzhou’s defense and entered the Myriad Kill Formation to face Number Eighteen, where the formation’s fatal strikes began to disappear.
Chu Qing devastated the Forbidden Zone through a century of slaughter while the Alliance attacked Bi Luo Mountain and awakened the guardians of Bi Luo’s Underground Palace. The arc left Phoenix Emperor facing the Alliance with Bi Luo’s chariot as Chu Qing became the Great Terror called The Forbidden’s Contempt.
Chu Qing killed the Twilight Overlord with Liuli’s help, then pursued the Path Openers while uncovering Tian Buyu’s altered history and aiding the Square Inch Gathering. He challenged Black Gold Daoist on Black Gold Mountain, and their battle drew vast forces to Qinghua Continent as Chu Qing’s identity brought deadly consequences.
