Chapter Summaries

Gu Ce and Lord Baizhu each plotted to exploit the Golden Scale Beasts, while Lord Youhou and Lord Qilan encountered separate trials in the divine palace. Lord Qilan began forcing gathered Venerables to feed their divine power into a passage, whose strange suction hinted at a greater danger ahead.

• Gu Ce considered using the Golden Scale Beasts to injure Lord Baizhu before attacking him, while Lord Baizhu hoped to learn the limits of Gu Ce’s strength.
• Lord Youhou found a golden hall, killed a Universe Overlord-level Golden Scale Beast, and wondered whether killing more would open the next stage.
• Lord Qilan found a white jade hall where the passage required divine power equivalent to ten high-level Universe Venerables.
• Lord Qilan threatened the gathered Venerables, drained a Monster Race Venerable’s divine power through the passage, and caused a section of white jade stairs to appear.
• A second Venerable narrowly saved himself by severing part of his divine body, and Lord Qilan suspected the passage might lead to the Top-tier Supreme Treasure, the Heavenly Stream Sail.

Gu Ce trapped Lord Baizhu and killed the Golden Scale Beasts after their combined attack revealed their third-tier Universe Master-level power. Lord Baizhu remained sealed in his bamboo hut, while Lord Youhou worried that the beasts’ next combined attack might reach the fourth tier.

• Sixty-four Golden Scale Beasts struck Lord Baizhu with a combined attack that destroyed 12% of his godly body, forcing him to hide inside a bamboo hut.
• Gu Ce blocked the passage with Sacred Flame Hall, then used Boundless Void, Stellar Domain, and Heavenly Prison to restrain Lord Baizhu and the beasts.
• Gu Ce killed all sixty-four Golden Scale Beasts with five Evolution Sword Qi strikes, leaving Lord Baizhu trapped in his bamboo hut.
• Lord Youhou killed his sixty-fourth Golden Scale Beast and worried that the beasts’ next combined attack could reach the fourth tier.

• Gu Ce used Chaos Evolution and burned most of his divine power to unleash Five Evolution Sword Qi, destroying more than forty percent of Lord Baizhu’s divine body.
• Lord Baizhu sent a final warning to his race that Human Star Sea had third-tier combat power, then Gu Ce’s next sword strike killed him.

Gu Ce discovered that the Golden Scale Beasts were energy-powered puppets and waited for their next appearance, while Lord Youhou cleared the same trial and obtained a recovery-enhancing Origin Supreme Treasure. Lord Youhou attacked Lord Qilan in the main hall, and Gu Ce arrived as they faced off, prompting Lord Qilan to ask where Lord Baizhu was.

• Gu Ce realized the Golden Scale Beasts were puppets powered by the divine palace and decided to wait for another wave so he could trace and destroy their energy source.

• Lord Qilan, who had no avatar, feared being killed and asked Lord Youhou and Lord Void Realm to let him go in exchange for a High-tier Supreme Treasure.

• Gu Ce showed Lord Artificer God a piece of Heavenly Stream Gold, which could help forge a Top-tier Supreme Treasure.
• Gu Ce asked whether the Heavenly Stream Gold could be fused with his armor Supreme Treasure.

Gu Ce agreed to let Lord Artificer God fuse Heavenly Stream Gold into his Shi Zhou Hunyuan Armor, risking its quality for a chance to become a Peak Supreme Treasure. While the armor was being refined, Gu Ce pursued Supreme Treasures on the Original Star and began using the Virtual Universe to transform Boundless Void into a portable miniature universe.

• Lord Artificer God warned Gu Ce that fusing Heavenly Stream Gold into the Shi Zhou Hunyuan Armor could improve it, degrade it, or possibly turn it into a Peak Supreme Treasure, and Gu Ce chose to proceed.
