Chapter Summaries

Li Changsheng watched Half-Step Supreme Saints battle over Quasi-Emperor Potan’s corpse in the Giant Forest, suspecting the corpse had been arranged to lure them there. The forest sealed shut, and Potan emerged alive in the form of a Bronze Giant, leaving the trapped fighters bewildered.

• Li Changsheng arrived at the Giant Forest and observed Half-Step Supreme Saints fighting over the Quasi-Emperor Corpse.

• Quasi-Emperor Potan emerged from beneath the ground as a powerful Bronze Giant, and the trapped Half-Step Supreme Saints questioned how he had survived.

Li Changsheng and the Half-step Supreme Saints fought Quasi-Emperor Potan, who had fused a wisp of his Spirit Soul Origin with a Bronze Giant and used a grand array to harvest fortune. After Li Changsheng’s Time Freeze Technique helped them wear Potan down, Potan died, leaving the other survivors to turn their attention toward Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng sought a way to accelerate his cultivation and learned about the Shadow Rift, a forbidden land where time flowed chaotically. He discovered that his Spirit Soul could enter to cultivate Ultimate Skills of will and planned to prepare before venturing inside.

• Mo Xuan told Jiang Ying that Li Changsheng was her husband, and Jiang Ying resolved to cultivate harder to keep up with him.
• Li Changsheng advanced his cultivation and techniques, but found that improving the Time Freeze Technique without a time-related Dao Fruit was difficult.

• The Mystic Flame Holy Lord described the dangers of the Shadow Rift and explained that a Spirit Soul could enter to cultivate Ultimate Skills of will, though prolonged exposure was dangerous.
• Li Changsheng decided to exchange for more Ultimate Skills of will before entering the Shadow Rift.

The Nine Yang Holy Master explained the Deep Dimension World and how a second Will Sublimation could let Li Changsheng absorb its origin energy, improving his chance of reaching the Quasi-Emperor Realm. Li Changsheng chose the will skill Daylight and continued cultivating, while Eastern Emperor Mountain’s seven great giants were summoned before Xiewu Quasi-Emperor.

• Liuli Holy Master sent Demon Race corpses to the Great Sun Emperor Sect, where the Nine Yang Holy Master and the elders recognized their High-Dimensional Bloodlines and identified Xiewu Quasi-Emperor as Eastern Emperor Mountain’s defector.

Li Changsheng returned to Yangzhou as Eastern Emperor Mountain’s High-Dimensional Bloodline threat grew, while the major factions hesitated to attack. He killed the newly transformed Holy Master Xuanming, then fled with his corpse.

• The Nine Yang Holy Master publicized Eastern Emperor Mountain’s transformation, and the Taixu Great Emperor ordered Supreme Saints to attack its Demon Race and sent Kongshan to watch for the Xiewu Quasi-Emperor.
• Li Changsheng returned to the Sun Sect, learned about Eastern Emperor Mountain from the injured Liuli Holy Master, and waited for reinforcements rather than confront the Xiewu Quasi-Emperor.

• Taixu Great Emperor’s will incarnation dissipated, while Sham fell somewhere within the Sun Empire.

Li Changsheng secretly claimed a dying Quasi-Emperor-level High-Dimensional Being’s corpse and used its flesh to greatly strengthen his Vajra Dao Fruit. Afterward, he learned from the Nine Yang Holy Master that the crystals found in the corpse’s storage artifact were valuable High-Dimensional Treasure Crystals.

• The Taixu Great Emperor reflected that six High-Dimensional Beings had been killed, a heavy loss that would likely deter the Shadow Dimension Pavilion from invading the Martial Realm for a time.
