Chapter Summaries

Luo Feng faced the Cage-Breaking Twelve Warriors outside Hunyuan City after refusing to interrupt Yuanqi Dao Lord’s seclusion, and he defeated four of them in succession. Meanwhile, Li Qi completed improvements to his avatars and identified a new direction for the Infinite Great Dao before ending his seclusion to test his strength.

• Luo Feng learned that the Cage-Breaking Twelve Warriors had come seeking Yuanqi Dao Lord and decided to meet them himself so they would not disturb his teacher.
• Luo Feng refused to contact Yuanqi Dao Lord and challenged the Twelve Warriors to defeat him one-on-one before he would relay their request.
• Luo Feng fought the Twelve Warriors outside Hunyuan City and defeated four of them, drawing the attention of cultivators including Dragon Nine Dao Lord.

• Li Qi concluded that his internal world’s connection to the mental will system offered a new direction for the Infinite Great Dao, then ended his seclusion and contacted Luo Feng to prepare for a hunt.

After emerging from seclusion, Li Qi revealed that he had become an invincible existence and invited Luo Feng to watch him fight the Cage-Breaking Twelve Warriors and other peak experts. The battle began with Li Qi manifesting an enormous body that overwhelmed their formation, leaving Luo Feng stunned by his teacher’s power.

• After a hundred epochs of repeated duels with the Cage-Breaking Twelve Warriors, Luo Feng learned that Li Qi had emerged from seclusion and went to meet him.
• Li Qi explained that studying high-grade Hunyuan lifeforms had helped him control his enormous divine body, then invited Luo Feng to join him on a hunt.

Li Qi overwhelmed nearly thirty peak experts in the Dark Sacred World, proving himself an invincible existence through the power of his enormous avatar. Yuan recognized Li Qi’s extreme Fusion Dao and ordered Qiu Ge and Yifeiya to monitor his progress; after returning from a hunt with Luo Feng, Li Qi prepared to hold a Dao discussion gathering.

• Li Qi suppressed nearly thirty peak experts with his enormous avatar, then stopped draining their energy and promised to hold a Dao discussion gathering after returning from hunting.
• Qiu Ge and Yifeiya reported Li Qi’s arrival at the invincible level to Yuan, who identified Li Qi’s extreme Fusion Dao and instructed them to watch for his progress toward the Half-Hunyuan level.
• The peak experts spread news of Li Qi’s strength through Hunyuan City, while Dragon Nine Dao Lord, God Emperor Ji Ke, Dao Lord Jifeng, Zhenyan Hall Master, and Floating Light Dao Lord considered meeting him or seeking his guidance.
• Several hundred days later, Li Qi and Luo Feng returned from hunting and exchanged their gains for battle merits, Hunyuan Crystals, and cultivation resources.
• Li Qi purchased more than ten portions of high-level Hunyuan Lifeform bloodlines and decided it was time to hold the Dao discussion gathering.

Li Qi held a Dao discussion assembly and explained the three ways cultivators could break free from the Cage, leaving the gathered cultivators with new paths to pursue. After the assembly, he met Flame Wind God Emperor and Thunder God Emperor and told them that he and Luo Feng would preserve the two ancient kingdoms as rivals to the Origin Weight Sect.

• Li Qi arrived at the assembly and demonstrated the dangerous power of his divine body before answering God Emperor Ji Ke's question about awakening Hunyuan bloodline potential.
• Li Qi outlined the three methods of breaking free from the Cage: ultimate bloodline awakening, refining a Source World's origin, and breaking the law with force.

• Li Qi told Flame Wind God Emperor and Thunder God Emperor that the two ancient kingdoms would remain as enemies of the Origin Weight Sect and that they should invest more in nurturing them.

Li Qi remained in seclusion, unable to advance his Infinite Great Dao, while Luo Feng developed his mind-will system and grew strong enough to hunt a Hunyuan prisoner. After learning that Luo Feng had comprehended the Half-Hunyuan Life-Destruction Dao and been guided away by Senior Yuan, Li Qi felt proud of his disciple.

• Li Qi let Flame Wind God Emperor and Thunder God Emperor leave, explaining to Luo Feng that the two ancient kingdoms needed to remain enemies, then thanked Dao Lord Jifeng for collecting battle merits.
• After three thousand epochs of cultivation, Li Qi still could not open the Half-Hunyuan Infinite Great Dao, so he studied five profound scales on Wandering Dragon.
• Luo Feng established his mind-will system, reached invincible strength, and exchanged battle merits for the Sky-Breaking Blade.
• Yifeiya and Qiu Ge arranged for news of a Hunyuan prisoner to reach Luo Feng, hoping the opponent would help him break through.
• Luo Feng hunted the Hunyuan prisoner with Dao Lord Jifeng and later reported that he had killed it alone and comprehended the Half-Hunyuan Life-Destruction Dao.
• Two thousand epochs later, Li Qi read Luo Feng's messages and learned that Senior Yuan had guided him away, leaving Li Qi delighted by his disciple's achievement.

Li Qi emerged from seclusion to hunt for cultivation resources and toured the Dark Sacred World's large Hunyuan Hall, hoping to find inspiration for pioneering the Half-Hunyuan Infinite Dao. After learning about the faction war and viewing Hunyuan treasures, prisoners, and corpses, he sensed that the largest World-level corpse might suit him.

• Li Qi hunted for ten thousand days, exchanged his prey for nearly ninety trillion Hunyuan Crystals, and returned to the large Hunyuan Hall seeking a breakthrough opportunity.
• Li Qi paid to view all the hall's treasures, toured the secret treasure vault, and selected three high-grade Hunyuan secret treasures for possible exchange.
• Li Qi viewed a high-grade Hunyuan prisoner while the silver-haired guide explained the faction war, the invasion of the Origin Weight Sacred Realm, and Luo Feng's advancement.
• Li Qi toured the hall's Hunyuan lifeform corpses, saw seven enormous World-level corpses, and sensed something wondrous in the largest one.
• The silver-haired woman told Li Qi that the largest corpse seemed compatible with him.

Li Qi comprehended the Half-Hunyuan Infinite Dao, completed his mind-will system, and gained control of his primary combat avatar. Yuan then took him to the Initial Land, a hidden stronghold of the Cultivator Faction, where cultivators and powerful Chaotic Origin lifeforms gathered.

• Li Qi realized that his internal world had to support his Infinite Great Dao, completed his mind-will system, and broke free of the Cage.
• Qiu Ge and Yifeiya congratulated Li Qi on comprehending the Half-Hunyuan Infinite Dao and invited him to their residence.

Yuan explained the Cultivator Faction’s desperate war against the Natural Hunyuan Lifeforms and laid out Li Qi’s possible paths to becoming a World-Class Hunyuan or Lord. After giving Li Qi a mountain home and a bracelet filled with resources and contacts, Yuan left him to choose his path, and Li Qi reached out to Chong.

• Yuan told Li Qi the Cultivator Faction faced the possible loss of most or all of its territory, and warned that Li Qi’s hometown would be targeted if its World Cluster fell.
• Yuan raised a mountain on Hunyuan Island for Li Qi and explained that he could pursue a World-Class Hunyuan Bloodline or try to break through directly by comprehending a Hunyuan Dao.
• Yuan described Nai Gu’s bloodline path, the Source World refinement path followed by five Lords, and Xing Mang’s unprecedented breakthrough by force.
• Yuan advised Li Qi to study a World-Class Hunyuan Bloodline extensively before refining it, then left him a silver bracelet containing resources and reward points.
• Li Qi checked the bracelet’s communication contacts and used it to contact the World-Class Hunyuan expert Chong.

Li Qi met Sect Master Chong, learned that Chong had once delayed his escape from the Cage in hopes he would comprehend the Half-Hunyuan Fusion Path, and received an Ancestor-level spear as compensation. After discussing their cultivation plans and the threat facing the Cultivator Faction with Luo Feng, Li Qi returned to secluded cultivation to study Hunyuan bloodlines.

• Luo Feng told Li Qi that Sky Wolf Guest had skipped a gathering of High-level Hunyuans, and Li Qi suspected Sky Wolf Guest wanted to avoid appearing weaker than Luo Feng.
• After Luo Feng left, Li Qi began secluded cultivation to analyze Hunyuan bloodlines and prepare for the possibility of fusing with one.

Li Qi studied Hunyuan bloodlines in seclusion, mastering low-grade examples and beginning his work on high-grade ones. Elsewhere, the seven Lords discussed their worsening war against the Natural Hunyuan Lifeform Faction and doubted whether the new Half-Hunyuan cultivators could become Lords.

• Li Qi examined the bloodline records, concluded that only becoming a Lord could change the war’s overall course, and began studying low-grade Hunyuan bloodlines with the Delusion-Breaking Eye.
• Li Qi met visiting high-grade Hunyuans from the Dark World Cluster, then returned to his cave abode and resumed cultivation.

• Xing Mang warned the Lords that killing another Ancestor would be difficult and that new Ancestors might emerge as the Natural Hunyuan Lifeform Faction devoured more world origin.
• The Lords discussed whether Luo Feng and Li Qi could become Lords, but Yuan and the others judged their chances low and believed bloodline fusion would not offer a path to becoming masters of Source Worlds.

Luo Feng discovered that the path to becoming a Lord lay in understanding how the Origin Great Daos formed the supreme rules, while Li Qi continued progressing through World-level Chaotic Origin bloodlines. Xing Mang observed Luo Feng’s future timelines converge on breaking the law with force and told the other Lords that a new Lord was on the way.

• Xing Mang observed millions of future possibilities and found that Luo Feng became a Lord most often by breaking the law with force, while Li Qi’s chances were lower.
• Luo Feng reflected on the Cultivator Faction’s worsening war and returned to cultivation, while Li Qi remained in seclusion studying bloodlines.
• After a hundred eras, Li Qi comprehended over seventy percent of his first World-level Chaotic Origin bloodline and continued working toward understanding all eighty-one compatible bloodlines.
• Luo Feng visited the Origin Continent and a new Primordial Universe, where he understood how the Origin Great Daos formed the supreme rules and found a possible path to becoming a Lord.
• Xing Mang saw Luo Feng’s future timelines converge on breaking the law with force and gathered the seven other Lords to share the news.
• The Lords celebrated Luo Feng’s coming breakthrough and agreed to keep it secret so they could use his future strength against the Natural Hunyuan Lifeform Faction.

• Xing Mang visited Luo Feng, warned him to undergo his final breakthrough only in the concealed Initial Land, and began explaining Li Qi’s potential.

Luo Feng and Xing Mang explored whether altering small details in the past could strengthen Luo Feng’s connection to Li Qi and improve Li Qi’s chances of breaking through by force. Meanwhile, Li Qi reincarnated and re-cultivated in the Canglan Source World, returned to the Initial Land, and resumed cultivating while Luo Feng remained unreachable.

• Xing Mang told Luo Feng that Li Qi had 172 observed possibilities of breaking through by force, and that those possibilities increased only after Luo Feng became a Lord.
• Luo Feng asked Xing Mang to test whether changing minor details in the past could deepen his connection with Li Qi, and Xing Mang agreed to try.
• Li Qi received Senior Yuan’s message about reincarnation, while Yuan removed Li Qi’s miniature universe and the Human Race discovered it had vanished; Luo Feng reassured them that Li Qi was safe.
• After several eras of re-cultivation in the Canglan Source World, Li Qi returned to the Dark Sacred World, where Qiu Ge and Yifeiya welcomed him and Yuan took him away.
• Li Qi returned to his cave dwelling on Hunyuan Island, found that he still could not contact Luo Feng, and continued secluded cultivation as Xing Mang’s avatars explored future timelines.

Xing Mang explained that Luo Feng’s altered memories in Li Qi’s past had created a deep temporal link, raising Li Qi’s chance of becoming a Lord to one in a thousand. As Li Qi began studying Hunyuan Ancestor remains, the Lords waited for him and Luo Feng to gain combat power while the war continued to cost them world clusters.

• Xing Mang told the Lords that Li Qi had a one-in-a-thousand chance of becoming a Lord and explained that Luo Feng’s memories, disguised as the book “Swallowed Star,” had linked their timelines.
• The Lords agreed that Xing Mang should keep observing Li Qi and anticipated that his ascension, alongside Luo Feng’s progress, could shift the war against the Natural Hunyuan Lifeform Faction.
• Sky Wolf Guest resented the Lords’ attention to Li Qi and Luo Feng, suspecting they intended to favor them with the Dark World Cluster.
• Li Qi completed his study of more than seventy percent of eighty-one compatible World-Class Hunyuan bloodlines and began examining the secret patterns on Rockheart Ancestor’s remains.
• The Lords discussed the world clusters lost during their delay, and considered how Luo Feng and a future Lord Li Qi might help them withstand the Hunyuan Ancestors.

After studying the remains of four Hunyuan Ancestors, Li Qi visited Xing Mang’s homeland and observed how a Source World’s laws formed secret patterns like those on the Ancestors. He understood how refining the World Origin Dao allowed a cultivator to transcend the Cage, and Xing Mang saw Li Qi’s futures converge on breaking through by force; the Lords then celebrated the coming of their ninth Lord.

• Li Qi reached a bottleneck after comprehending the remains of four Hunyuan Ancestors and asked Yuan for help understanding how they wielded the highest power.
• Xing Mang took Li Qi to his homeland’s Source World and showed him its nine Origin Great Daos interweaving into supreme governing laws.
• After drinking Xing Mang’s wine, Li Qi realized that a Source World was like a Hunyuan Ancestor’s body without a soul, and that refining the World Origin Dao meant becoming its soul to transcend the Cage.
• Xing Mang saw Li Qi’s future possibilities collapse toward breaking through by force, with most paths pointing in one direction, and brought him back to the Initial Land.
• Li Qi thanked Xing Mang and prepared to study more Hunyuan Ancestor remains, while Xing Mang told the Lords that Li Qi was on course to become their ninth Lord.
• The Lords discussed how Li Qi and Luo Feng could strengthen the Cultivator Faction, and Xing Mang said Luo Feng’s combat power had already taken shape.

Luo Feng met the seven Lords and shared how his inexhaustible energy could strengthen their side in the war, while they planned to keep his existence secret until Li Qi became a Lord. Meanwhile, Li Qi began forging the Hunyuan Infinite Dao, but his first two versions produced flawed avatars, so he continued refining the secret-pattern diagram.

• Luo Feng met Yuan and the other six Lords, who welcomed him and discussed his ability to replenish their energy.
• The Lords decided Luo Feng should remain hidden until Li Qi became a Lord, so both could reveal themselves in a decisive battle against the Natural Hunyuan Lifeform Faction.
• Li Qi finished studying Hunyuan Ancestor remains and perfected the five systems of his Infinite Dao before beginning to create the Hunyuan Infinite Dao.
• After twenty epochs, Li Qi completed his first secret-pattern diagram, but its avatar was enormous, difficult to control, and burdened with a fragile internal world.
• Li Qi completed a second version after eighteen epochs and formed a more stable, powerful avatar, but its conspicuous internal world made it unsuitable.
• Li Qi dispersed the second avatar and began creating a third version of the secret-pattern diagram.

After watching a newly born Source World, Li Qi realized his Hunyuan Infinite Dao had to follow the principles behind the construction of Origin Great Daos. He tested nine refined avatars against simulated attacks and discovered that the strongest survival path combined the internal world with the origins to absorb and repurpose energy.

• Li Qi rejected his third secret pattern diagram and created four more versions, but the seventh still failed to reach the power he sought.
• Li Qi asked Xing Mang to take him to witness the birth of a Source World, where he observed supreme operation rules form from fused Origin Great Daos.
• Li Qi concluded that his life-leaning Hunyuan Infinite Dao needed to follow the fundamental principles of Great Dao construction, then began creating an eighth secret pattern diagram.
• Li Qi tested nine avatars against increasingly powerful simulated attacks and found that avatars relying mainly on their internal worlds were vulnerable.
• Three avatars remained into the world-class attack stages, but the body-focused avatars eventually collapsed while the black-robed avatar's internal world and origins kept absorbing energy to resist.
• Li Qi recognized that combining the internal world with the origins could replenish the body and absorb attack energy, revealing the path he wanted to pursue.

Li Qi completed the Hunyuan Infinite Dao, becoming a Lord whose Dao let him survive wherever it existed, then formed a body with enormous energy reserves. The other Lords welcomed his breakthrough while assessing how his survival-focused path might affect the war against the Natural Hunyuan Lifeform Faction.

• Li Qi built the Hunyuan Infinite Dao around the energy system, integrating the origin, world, mind-will, and physical body systems until the complete Dao emerged as a highest-level power.
• Li Qi realized that his life could continue through his Dao and learned from Xing Mang that the Cultivator Faction had lost more than one-fifth of its territory while seven Lords fought seventy-three Hunyuan Ancestors.
• Li Qi absorbed the Initial Land’s energy to create a pale cyan miniature world, eight hundred and ten million origins, and a body modeled partly on a Hunyuan Ancestor.
• The Lords observed that Li Qi’s energy reserves surpassed Wu Lan’s and that his body remained smaller than Luo Feng’s, while Xing Mang explained that Li Qi’s path was the rarest and most domineering of his possible breakthroughs.
• Yuan announced that Li Qi had completed his breakthrough and suggested inviting him to join the Lords for a gathering.

Li Qi became the Cultivator Faction’s ninth Lord and studied the Lords and their enemies while developing combat techniques suited to his energy-focused Hunyuan Infinite Dao. His Infinite Domain could weaken enemy attacks and replenish his companions’ energy, and the chapter ended with the Lords preparing to use his new abilities in their ongoing war against more than seventy Ancestors.

• Li Qi surveyed the Initial Land, found his family living in the relocated miniature universe, and accepted Yuan’s invitation to meet the other Lords.
• Li Qi explained that his life-oriented Dao let him absorb and convert energy and replenish his companions, while Yuan warned that the Lords were losing ground against more than seventy enemy Lords.
• Li Qi studied the Lords’ Daos and the Ancestors’ abilities, recognizing Xing Mang as the faction’s strongest defender and considering how to expand his own Dao.
• Li Qi created combat techniques for every Ancestor and an Infinite Domain that absorbed energy, weakened enemy attacks, and replenished his companions’ energy.
• The Lords welcomed Li Qi’s support, and he shared his spear techniques as Yuan began discussing the details of the war.

Yuan and the Lords planned how to exploit Luo Feng and Li Qi’s new strength against the Hunyuan Ancestors. Li Qi proposed detonating his main battle avatar inside their encirclement, and the Lords agreed to pursue the strategy while keeping Luo Feng hidden.

• Yuan shared simulated battle scenarios and urged the Lords to strike before the Hunyuan Ancestors learned that Luo Feng and Li Qi had broken through.
• Li Qi asked Xing Mang whether he could send an avatar to take him into the Ancestors’ encirclement so he could self-destruct and injure many enemies.
• Li Qi revealed that his energy reserves were only half full because his Infinite Chaotic Origin Dao was one-third complete, startling the Lords and Luo Feng.
• The Lords agreed that Li Qi’s self-destruction could create an opening for their strongest fighters, while Luo Feng stayed hidden until he could replenish their energy.
• Wu Lan asked how Li Qi could be drawn into the encirclement, and Xing Mang said the solution was simple.
