Chapter Summaries

Zhou Ming used the Luofu Realm's fortune to weaken the world’s rejection of his Laws, though he still needed much more to regain his peak strength. Meanwhile, Nether Blood recruited Spirit Void to summon other Saints and discuss a way to overcome their cultivation stagnation without confronting Zhou Ming directly.

• Zhou Ming found that fortune helped the Luofu Realm accept his Great Dao of Strength, but the available fortune was insufficient to restore his full power soon.
• Nether Blood realized that losing most of his fortune had made the Luofu Realm reject him and halt his cultivation progress.
• Nether Blood decided to seek allies because he believed Zhou Ming was too powerful to challenge alone.
• Nether Blood visited Spirit Void and persuaded him that their cultivation might remain stagnant unless they found a solution.
• Spirit Void sent transmission talismans to summon Phoenix Maiden, Iron Mountain, and others, while warning Nether Blood he would not join a plan that sent them to their deaths.

Nether Blood gathered Spirit Void, Phoenix Maiden, Iron Mountain, Flying Feather, and Mystic Light to discuss their stolen Fortune and proposed bringing in outside help to defeat Zhou Ming. The group remained skeptical, and Nether Blood began to answer their concerns about attracting a powerful outsider.

• Spirit Void summoned Phoenix Maiden, Iron Mountain, Flying Feather, and Mystic Light to meet Nether Blood in his cave abode.
• The four reacted warily to Nether Blood's presence, but Spirit Void explained that he had a plan to address their stolen Fortune.
• Nether Blood asked whether they would accept losing seventy percent of their Fortune and having their cultivation paths cut off.
• Phoenix Maiden, Mystic Light, and Iron Mountain said they could not risk confronting Zhou Ming, while Nether Blood clarified that he did not intend to attack him himself.
• Nether Blood proposed recruiting another Hunyuan Grand Unity Realm powerhouse, but Phoenix Maiden and Iron Mountain questioned whether such a powerful outsider would help them without taking their Fortune.
• Nether Blood looked at Phoenix Maiden and began to respond to their doubts.

Qin Jue reported to Liu Yuan that an unknown Hunyuan Grand Unity expert had appeared in the Luofu Realm and seized the Saints’ fortune. Liu Yuan considered attacking to steal the expert’s origin essence but hesitated because the man’s true cultivation was unknown.

• Qin Jue told Liu Yuan that Nether Blood had reported an unfamiliar expert killing a peak Saint in the Luofu Realm and suppressing the remaining Saints.
• Qin Jue relayed Nether Blood’s belief that the expert was no stronger than the Hunyuan Grand Unity early stage.
• Liu Yuan considered the chance to take the expert’s origin essence and advance his own cultivation.
• Liu Yuan warned Qin Jue not to act rashly, noting that the expert might be at the middle stage or even peak Hunyuan Grand Unity.

Liu Yuan and Qin Jue traveled to the Luofu Realm to investigate Zhou Ming, while Zhou Ming realized he needed far more fortune to restore his strength. When he sensed the pair approaching Nether Blood’s territory, he deduced Nether Blood had summoned them and chose to wait for their arrival.

• Liu Yuan decided to investigate Zhou Ming’s abilities before acting and departed for the Luofu Realm with Qin Jue.
• Zhou Ming concluded that the Luofu Realm’s fortune was insufficient to restore his Great Luo True Realm strength and considered seeking fortune in nearby worlds or the Flowing Light Domain’s central region.
• Zhou Ming sensed a late-stage Hunyuan Grand Unity expert and a peak Saint entering the Luofu Realm and heading toward Nether Blood’s territory.
• Zhou Ming deduced that Nether Blood had enlisted the outsiders to kill him and chose to remain in the Stone Chamber, waiting for them to come to him.

Liu Yuan arrived at Bloodfiend Hall with Qin Jue and ordered Nether Blood to provoke the Zhou fellow at Azure Moon Pavilion so he could test his strength. Nether Blood gathered five other Saints, and Liu Yuan forced them to go along; they set out under threat of death.

• Qin Jue introduced Liu Yuan, Realm Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Realm, to Nether Blood, who reported that Zhou had killed Azure Cloud with one punch and taken eighty percent of their fortune.

• Nether Blood persuaded Liu Yuan to let him summon five other Saints to join the challenge.
• Spirit Void, Phoenix Maiden, Iron Mountain, Flying Feather, and Mystic Light arrived at Bloodfiend Hall, where Nether Blood announced that they would confront Zhou.
• Liu Yuan injured the five with a burst of pressure and ordered them to go or die, and Spirit Void reluctantly agreed.

Zhou Ming effortlessly blocked Liu Yuan’s attack, revealed power beyond the Hunyuan Grand Unity realm, and captured him after he tried to flee. He killed Nether Blood and the other Saints, gave their bodies to Purple Moon and Qing Yang, and sent the siblings into seclusion to grow stronger.

• Liu Yuan unleashed his full power against Zhou Ming, but Zhou Ming’s dark gold Laws dissolved the attack without harming him.
• Liu Yuan realized Zhou Ming was likely a Hunyuan Infinite expert and fled into the chaotic currents, but Zhou Ming seized him and dragged him back to Azure Moon Pavilion.

Zhou Ming questioned Liu Yuan about the Flowing Light Domain and learned that its Ten Great Dao Realms were ruled by peak Hunyuan Infinite experts. When Zhou Ming considered conquering the entire domain, Liu Yuan warned that doing so would provoke the powerful Divine Luo Domain, which backed its rulers.

• Zhou Ming released Liu Yuan’s restrictions and asked him to explain the Flowing Light Domain.
• Liu Yuan described the domain’s hierarchy of countless minor realms, three thousand major realms, and ten Dao Realms, then named the ten realm lords.

• Liu Yuan urged Zhou Ming not to conquer the Ten Great Dao Realms and asked whether he came from another major domain.
• Liu Yuan explained that the Divine Luo Domain supported the Flowing Light Domain and would respond if Zhou Ming threatened its foundations.

Zhou Ming learned from Liu Yuan that great Luo true realm experts generally avoided wars between domains, but might intervene if their interests or a domain's survival were threatened. He reconsidered his plan to unite the Flowing Light Domain and decided to pursue fortune more discreetly while he strengthened himself.

• Zhou Ming asked Liu Yuan whether the Divine Luo Domain's great Luo true realm experts would intervene if he feared none of its Hunyuan Infinite experts.
• Liu Yuan explained that great Luo true realm experts usually stayed out of conflicts below their realm, citing a past war between the Divine Luo Domain and the Azure Thunder Domain.
• Zhou Ming realized he could act freely against anyone below great Luo as long as he avoided attracting the attention of great Luo true realm experts.
• Liu Yuan warned that conquering all Ten Great Dao Realms and taking the Flowing Light Domain's fortune could cross the Divine Luo Domain's limits and provoke its great Luo experts.
• Zhou Ming decided to avoid making a spectacle of uniting the Flowing Light Domain and seek fortune through a gentler approach.

Liu Yuan led Purple Moon, Qing Yang, Qin Jue, and a growing force of Saints across the Chaos Void, subjugating small worlds to gather Fortune for Zhou Ming. At the Azure Spirit Realm, Liu Yuan defeated its ruler Cang Yu and forced him to surrender, while the realm’s Saints were overwhelmed.

• Zhou Ming led Liu Yuan, Cang Yu, Purple Moon, and the others out of the Luofu Realm toward the Azure Spirit Realm.

Zhou Ming established the Azure Spirit Realm as his base and ordered its Saints to gather fortune, promising them rewards once his strength recovered. When he learned the realm had no interworld formation, Cang Yu explained that the costly formation foundation was beyond the Azure Spirit Realm’s means, and Zhou Ming allowed Liu Yuan and Cang Yu to rise after warning Liu Yuan to report matters fully.

• Zhou Ming entered the Azure Spirit Realm and took the World Lord’s seat in its Dao Field.
• Zhou Ming made the Azure Spirit Realm his base and ordered its Saints to gather fortune for him, promising help with their cultivation.

Zhou Ming ordered Liu Yuan to retrieve the Heavenly Mystery Realm’s interrealm array foundation while remaining in the Azure Spirit Realm. To speed up the gathering of fortune, he gave Cang Yu a talisman powerful enough to suppress anyone below Hunyuan Infinite, and Cang Yu set out to seize fortune from nearby major worlds.

After returning to Azure Spirit Realm with a vast haul, he found Liu Yuan back and Zhou Ming examining the dismantled cross-realm formation core.

• Cang Yu and his followers found Liu Yuan in Zhou Ming’s hall, where Zhou Ming examined the formation core Liu Yuan had brought back from Heavenly Mystery Realm.

Zhou Ming fashioned a portable teleportation token from a spatial divine material, and Liu Yuan proved it could carry him across worlds with consecutive jumps. After Liu Yuan wondered whether Zhou Ming was a Great Luo True Realm expert, Zhou Ming ordered Cang Yu to hand over the collected Fortune and everyone to surrender their spatial crafting materials so he could make tokens in bulk.

• Zhou Ming explained the Law imprint inside the formation core and said that making one was not difficult.

• Zhou Ming ordered Cang Yu to hand over the collected Fortune and told everyone to provide their spatial divine crafting materials so he could refine tokens in bulk.

Zhou Ming forged fifteen spatial teleportation tokens for Liu Yuan’s group, absorbed their collected fortune, and bound Mystic Light and the other newcomers with restrictions that enforced their loyalty. He then confronted the group about the resources they had taken from the worlds they visited, leaving Cang Yu and Liu Yuan anxiously offering to hand everything over.

• Zhou Ming assured his followers he only wanted their Fortune, then ordered them to cultivate before collecting more.
• Zhou Ming assigned Liu Yuan to coordinate personnel, teams, and routes while he entered long-term seclusion.

• Zhou Ming gave Liu Yuan four talismans containing his power, and Liu Yuan ordered the groups to set out.

Liu Yuan divided his forces to sweep through worlds on the edge of the Flowing Light Domain, using Zhou Ming’s tokens to reach the Heavenly Radiance Realm. He demanded that its ruler, Yao Jiuyuan, surrender most of the realm’s fortune and swear allegiance, but Yao Jiuyuan’s subordinate openly challenged him.

• Liu Yuan assigned Cang Yu, Mystic Light, and other Hunyuan Grand Unity cultivators and Saints to sweep separate regions, warning them to avoid major worlds ranked in the top five hundred.

Liu Yuan used Zhou Ming’s talisman to subdue Yao Jiuyuan, take the Heavenly Radiance Realm’s fortune, and loot its treasury before heading for the Nine Nether Realm. Elsewhere, Cang Yu used a talisman to defeat Zisha, as four teams swept through the Flowing Light Domain’s outskirts and gathered resources unnoticed by the central powers.

• Qin Jue killed a peak Saint in one strike, and Yao Jiuyuan refused Liu Yuan’s demand to surrender eighty percent of his fortune.

• Liu Yuan ordered his team to empty the Hunyuan Realm, then gathered its providence and the scattered origin power.
• Liu Yuan and his team activated their tokens and returned toward the Azure Spirit Realm so he could inform Zhou Ming.

After Liu Yuan reported that their operations in the Hunyuan Realm had been exposed, Zhou Ming dismissed his concerns and gave him a late-stage Hunyuan Grand Unity cultivator’s origin essence to advance his cultivation. Centuries later, Cang Yu, Mystic Light, and the others returned with vast fortune and resources, and Zhou Ming reforged their talismans with power capable of slaying anyone below the Hunyuan Infinite peak.
