Chapter Summaries

Chen Fei killed Lu Zijing inside the Karma Stage, claimed his treasures, and used the spoils to raise the Void Return Realm to fourteenth order high-grade. After reaching peak late Immortal Realm, Chen Fei awakened the potential of Instantaneous Omen and saw five possible new characteristics.

• Chen Fei annihilated Lu Zijing’s desperate attack, then killed him again after Lu Zijing revived with Immortal Profound Crystals and failed to escape the illusion.
• Chen Fei emerged from the Karma Stage with Lu Zijing’s Immortal Profound Crystal Pillar and absorbed the fortune left behind by his death.
• Chen Fei sensed guidance toward another fourteenth order high-grade status spiritual material and used the Nirvana Dust Assimilation Method and Void Shadow to suppress the aura’s reach.

• Chen Fei refined Immortal Profound Crystals under the Time Hut and reached peak late Immortal Realm.
• Chen Fei activated Instantaneous Omen and saw five possible directions for its new characteristic.

Chen Fei chose and mastered the Time Echo characteristic, allowing him to summon a one-breath Future Self that could fight alongside him or take a fatal blow. He then entered the Void Origin to examine Chaos Furnace characteristics and discovered one that could slowly produce Immortal Profound Crystals, before finding a second characteristic that could heal fatal injuries.

• Chen Fei compared five Time Echo characteristics and chose Time Echo over options that revealed weaknesses, trapped enemies, reversed karma, or inflicted the Five Decays.
• Chen Fei simplified and mastered Time Echo, then summoned a Future Self with the same aura, cultivation, and soul fluctuation as his own.
• Chen Fei tested the Future Self by having the Night Demon War Soldier attack him; the two exchanged places, and the Future Self took the blow before vanishing at its one-breath limit.
• Chen Fei used the Chaos Furnace to enter the Void Origin and examined its Extended Characteristics.
• Chen Fei found Yin-Yang Erosion - Immortal Profound Crystal, which could slowly condense Immortal Profound Crystals by absorbing and refining World Vital Energy and demonic qi.
• Chen Fei found Flint Fire Nirvana, which could turn stored power into healing flint fire when he suffered a potentially fatal injury.

Chen Fei chose Ember Tracing Cause over the Chaos Furnace’s other Extended Characteristics, hoping to uncover the cultivation secrets of powerful enemies and improve his own inheritance. After simplifying and limit-breaking it, he entered the Void Origin to examine an Extended Characteristic of Void Mirror Heart.

• Chen Fei compared five Chaos Furnace characteristics and chose Ember Tracing Cause for its potential to reveal the core memories and cultivation truths of slain enemies.

• Chen Fei learned that Myriad Mirrors Return to Truth could nearly perfectly copy an opponent’s powers but consumed vast amounts of Immortal Power.
• Chen Fei examined Time Silhouette, Mirror Heart Resonance, Mirroring All Beings: Thousand Faces Aspect, and Mirror Heart Untainted: Myriad Laws Return to Dust.

• Chen Fei simplified Mirroring All Beings with the Void Mirror Heart and used the Time Hut to master it.
• Chen Fei broke through the ability’s limit, greatly reducing the cost of maintaining a disguise and enabling him to store and switch between a thousand target profiles.

Chen Fei chose Law Rift for the Void Dao Sword, mastered it, and advanced his physique until his vital energy, physique, and soul all reached Peak Late Immortal Realm. He discovered that the nearly ten thousand portions of Immortal Profound Crystals in his sealed pillar could likely only be accessed in the tower space, so he headed back toward the fire spirit tower.

• Chen Fei simplified and cultivated Law Rift to the limit-breaking realm, gaining the ability to perceive rule nodes and sever the connections sustaining laws.

• Chen Fei left the Void Return Realm, tore through space, and reached the vicinity of the fire spirit tower.

Chen Fei broke into the Sacred Tower, stole the sealed Immortal Profound Crystal Pillar, and injured Ancestor Yan Lie before escaping. Yan Lie pursued him into the Space Fragments, where Chen Fei stopped and dismissed the need to kill him; Yan Lie responded with a far stronger attack.

• Chen Fei returned to the Sacred Tower, froze its Immortal Realm guards with Frozen Hell, and used Law Rift to enter the tower’s core.
• Ancestor Yan Lie revealed himself and attacked Chen Fei, but Chen Fei weakened the strike, wounded Yan Lie with his Future Self, broke the pillar’s seal, and escaped with it.
• Ancestor Yan Lie pursued Chen Fei through the Space Fragments, while the other fire spirits lost track of Chen Fei.
• Chen Fei stopped and told Yan Lie that killing him would bring the Secret Realm Heavenly Dao’s hostile mark and would not be worth the cost.
• Enraged by Chen Fei’s dismissal, Yan Lie unleashed Heaven Burning · Ash Extinction at him.

Chen Fei hunted powerful opponents in the Fire Spirit Secret Realm to earn the Heavenly Dao’s guidance to Fourteenth Order Top-grade Status Spiritual Material. After killing one Mid Immortal Realm Celestial Demon, he encountered a battle between Du Mingzhu and two Peak Immortal Realm Celestial Demons, then drew Teng Qianqiu into pursuit and revealed his true strength as Teng attacked.

• Chen Fei stopped and revealed his Late Immortal Realm strength, shocking Teng Qianqiu, who then unleashed a powerful palm strike.

Chen Fei overwhelmed Teng Qianqiu with the Demon Fall Abyss, his Past Self, and his Future Self, defeating his attacks and surviving his desperate self-destruction. After Du Mingzhu and Ren Yangxu arrived, Teng Qianqiu tried to escape, but Chen Fei and his Past Self struck down his true body.

• Chen Fei matched Teng Qianqiu's opening attack with Immortal King Descends Upon Nine Heavens, then used the Demon Fall Abyss and precise strikes to dismantle Teng Qianqiu's peak sword attack.
• Teng Qianqiu fled, but Chen Fei suppressed him with Law Rift and Instant Eternal Prison, allowing his Past Self and Future Self to grievously wound him before Chen Fei struck his head.
• Teng Qianqiu survived the three fatal blows by burning Immortal Profound Crystals, then sacrificed his Void Secret Treasures to unleash Calamity Sea Martyrdom.
• Chen Fei and his two selves pierced the unstable core of Teng Qianqiu's decay tide, leaving him gravely weakened as the Future Self disappeared when its One Breath Limit ended.
• Du Mingzhu and Ren Yangxu arrived and saw Teng Qianqiu near death; Teng Qianqiu scattered into black rays to escape, but Chen Fei and his Past Self struck his true body and annihilated him.

After killing Teng Qianqiu, Chen Fei cornered Ren Yangxu with his original body, Past Self, and Future Self, while Du Mingzhu refused to join the fight and escaped. Just as Chen Fei prepared to finish Ren Yangxu, a hidden attacker struck from behind with a pillar of dark red fire.

• Chen Fei stopped Ren Yangxu from escaping through a space rift and struck him with three sword attacks, forcing him to burn nearly four thousand Immortal Profound Crystals to recover.
• Ren Yangxu called on Du Mingzhu to help fight Chen Fei, but Du Mingzhu pretended to offer aid before fleeing when Chen Fei looked at him.
• Ren Yangxu used a solid Name Tombstone and an escape art to distract Chen Fei, but Chen Fei froze space-time, found Ren Yangxu's true body, and nearly killed him again.
• Ren Yangxu burned his remaining Immortal Profound Crystals to survive, leaving him weakened and trapped before Chen Fei's three bodies.
• A pillar of dark red fire erupted from behind Chen Fei and blasted toward the heart of his original body.

Chen Fei killed Ren Yangxu while his Night Demon War Soldier blocked Shi Jingchen and Du Mingzhu, then feigned escape and ambushed Du Mingzhu. The battle continued with Du Mingzhu badly injured, the War Soldier overwhelmed by Shi Jingchen and his summoned phantom, and Chen Fei poised to strike Du Mingzhu again.

After killing four Peak Immortal Realm experts, Chen Fei discovered a way to plunder Heavenly Status Fragments and used their inheritances to improve his techniques. He followed the Secret Realm Heavenly Dao’s guidance to the central Heavenly Pillar, where a Fourteenth Order Top-grade Status Spiritual Material lay near a fierce battle over a Heavenly Dao Fragment.

• Chen Fei collected the four fallen experts’ origins, fortune, and broken weapons, then traced their memories and discovered the incomplete Myriad Tribulation Devouring Status True Scripture.
• Chen Fei realized the Space Grid could preserve plundered Status Fragments, and merged the eight incomplete techniques into his Heavenly Karma Universe Record and Dao Crystal Heavenly Seal Forging Divine Art.
• Chen Fei simplified and cultivated both improved techniques to Great Perfection, then followed the guidance toward the Fourteenth Order Top-grade Status Spiritual Material.
• Chen Fei reached the central Heavenly Pillar and secretly infiltrated it, evading the powerful fire spirits and other dangers along the way.
• Chen Fei entered a space where dozens of Peak Immortal Realm experts fought over a Heavenly Dao Fragment containing a trace of Fifteenth Order Low-grade Status Spiritual Material, while his intended prize lay nearby.

Chen Fei disguised his rapid rise to the Late Immortal Realm as the result of sacrificing nearly all his lifespan, then enlisted Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan to help him obtain a Fourteenth Order Top-grade Status Spiritual Material. As Qian Shulan proposed stirring up the battle over the Heavenly Dao Fragment to create an opening, Chen Fei revealed that he had another plan to try.

• Chen Fei decided he had to obtain both the Fourteenth Order Top-grade Status Spiritual Material and the Heavenly Dao Fragment, but recognized that the crowded battlefield made a direct approach too dangerous.
• Chen Fei stripped away and sealed most of his lifespan, making himself appear to have less than a hundred years left and giving others an explanation for his sudden rise in cultivation.
• Chen Fei approached Huo Yuheng, and Liu Chengrui and Huo Yuheng were shocked by his Late Immortal Realm aura and apparent imminent death.
• Chen Fei told Huo Yuheng that he had gained his realm through a dangerous secret realm and claimed he could sense a Fourteenth Order Top-grade Status Spiritual Material nearby.
• Huo Yuheng summoned Qian Shulan, and the two agreed to help Chen Fei obtain the material; Qian Shulan proposed waiting until the fight over the Heavenly Dao Fragment drew everyone's attention.
• Chen Fei considered the risks of the plan and told Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan that he had another method worth trying.

Chen Fei used the Nine Prisons Heaven Slaying Vein to disrupt the Heavenly Dao Fragment’s connection to the Secret Realm Origin, triggering chaos among the pursuing experts. He then found a sealed Fourteenth Order Top-grade Status Spiritual Material, but discovered that the fragment was needed to unseal it.

• Chen Fei explained his plan to sever the Heavenly Dao Fragment’s connection to the Secret Realm Origin, and Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan agreed to guard him.
• Chen Fei’s Past Self used the Nine Prisons Heaven Slaying Vein from outside the space, causing the fragment’s support to collapse and sending it into the energy torrent.
• Dozens of Peak Immortal Realm experts pursued the falling fragment, and Chen Fei, Huo Yuheng, and Qian Shulan slipped away to the location Chen Fei had identified.
• Chen Fei’s Past Self retrieved a hidden grayish-white seal containing a Fourteenth Order Top-grade Status Spiritual Material.
• Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan warned that breaking the seal by force could destroy its contents, while Chen Fei discovered that the Heavenly Dao Fragment could unseal it.

Chen Fei unsealed the Fourteenth Order Top-grade Status Spiritual Material by using Heavenly Dao Malice drawn from intercepted Immortal Substance, then began refining it to break through in the Void Return Realm's Void. Huo Yuheng, Qian Shulan, and Chen Fei's Past Self fled from three Peak Immortal Realm Heavenly Demons while the breakthrough proceeded.

• Chen Fei led Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan away from the central Heavenly Pillar to find an Early Immortal Realm fire spirit.
• Chen Fei wounded and trapped the fire spirit, severed its connection to the Secret Realm Origin, and intercepted nearly six thousand portions of Immortal Substance, drawing the Secret Realm Heavenly Dao's malice.
• Chen Fei used the resulting Heavenly Dao Malice to unseal the Status Spiritual Material, then suppressed its power and gave the Immortal Profound Crystals to Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan as three Peak Immortal Realm Heavenly Demons approached.

• Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan protected Chen Fei's Past Self and fled from the three Heavenly Demons pursuing them.

Chen Fei refined the Fourteenth Order Status Spiritual Material in the Time Hut and broke through to the Peak Immortal Realm. He arrived to save Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan from three heavenly demons, effortlessly neutralized their combined attack, and faced Jiao Hanyang as he revealed a strange black jade marrow.

• Chen Fei refined the Fourteenth Order Status Spiritual Material, shattered the barrier to the Peak Immortal Realm, and stabilized his breakthrough.
• Jiao Hanyang, Wu Ruiang, and Chang Xinyan intercepted Chen Fei's Past Self, Huo Yuheng, and Qian Shulan, then realized Chen Fei's true body was elsewhere completing his breakthrough.

• Chen Fei appeared behind Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan and casually dissolved the demons' attack with a palm strike.
• Jiao Hanyang raised his aura and revealed a strange piece of black jade marrow that radiated a terrifying pressure.

• Jiao Hanyang bluffed with the Jade Evolution, then fled with Wu Ruiang and Chang Xinyan, but Chen Fei intercepted them with his Past Self.
• Chen Fei summoned his Future Self and used paired sword strikes to grievously wound Jiao Hanyang, forcing him to spend thousands of Immortal Profound Crystals to recover.
• Jiao Hanyang activated the Jade Evolution, but Chen Fei resisted its Sovereign will and struck him again, leaving him nearly out of Immortal Profound Crystals.
• Wu Ruiang and Chang Xinyan fled separately, but Chen Fei’s Past Self held them in place while Chen Fei pursued and killed Jiao Hanyang.
• Chen Fei’s true body gravely wounded Wu Ruiang with a precise sword strike, while his Past Self gravely wounded Chang Xinyan.

Chen Fei killed Wu Ruiang and Chang Xinyan, then prepared to search the central heavenly pillar for the Heavenly Dao Fragment while Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan withdrew. As he refined the demons’ spoils and strengthened his cultivation, he used Time Tribulation Fold to send his divine soul into the void origin.

• Chen Fei and his Past Self killed Wu Ruiang and Chang Xinyan, then collected their Divine Weapon fragments and plundered their Heavenly Demon Origins and fortune.
• Chen Fei told Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan that he would seek the Heavenly Dao Fragment; they declined to join him, and he let them keep three thousand of the six thousand Immortal Profound Crystals he had given them.
• After Huo Yuheng and Qian Shulan departed, Chen Fei hid his true body in the Void Return Realm and sent his Past Self into the central heavenly pillar to search for the fragment.
• Chen Fei extracted heavenly-status fragments from the demons’ origins, refined their memories and techniques, and used the demons’ weapon materials to strengthen the Void Return Realm.
• Chen Fei refined Immortal Profound Crystals, advanced his cultivation to the extreme Immortal Realm, and brought the Heavenly Karma Universe Record and Dao Crystal Heavenly Seal Forging Divine Art to Great Perfection.
• Chen Fei activated Time Tribulation Fold, freeing his divine soul from his body and sending it into the void origin.

• Chen Fei limit-broke Borrowing Future Strength, raising its borrowed future power to twenty percent of his base combat strength.
