Maha You unleashed Maha Immeasurable Tribulation against the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, while Maha Tian and Zhao Chen argued over the Ancient Heavenly Emperor’s participation and the Maha Ancient Clan’s control of the Eternal Undying Body. The tornado bore down on the Ancient Heavenly Emperor as Zhao Chen insisted that a person, not a divine ability, determined true strength.

• Maha You sent Maha Immeasurable Tribulation crashing toward the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, and Asura Spear Ye Qing and Sword Saint Tuoba Cang hoped the clash would leave them a chance to claim the Eternal Undying Body.

Inside the Eternal Pagoda, the Ancient Heavenly Emperor defeated Maha You and revealed his Saint Grade strength, while outside Zhao Chen provoked Maha Tian into a confrontation. As Maha Tian prepared to strike, the dark-red mountain split open and the Eternal Undying Body appeared.

• Maha Tian formed a black-and-white blade and prepared to attack Zhao Chen as the dark-red mountain split apart and the Eternal Undying Body appeared.

Maha Tian held back from attacking Zhao Chen while waiting for Maha You to gain the Eternal Undying Body’s recognition. As a dark-golden figure emerged from the Eternal Pagoda, Zhao Chen warned that it was not the true Eternal Undying Body and said someone was about to be unlucky.

Maha You, Asura Spear Ye Qing, and Sword Saint Tuoba Cang mistook a Dark Golden Shadow Body for the Eternal Undying Body and were struck down when it attacked them. The Ancient Heavenly Emperor realized the body was a mutant formed from corrupted Imperishable Source and prepared to deal with it.

• Maha You rushed to seize the Dark Golden Shadow Body, but it awakened and struck him down with one palm.

• The Ancient Heavenly Emperor recognized that the Dark Golden Shadow Body was not the Eternal Undying Body but a mutant formed from accumulated Imperishable Source.
• The Ancient Heavenly Emperor concluded that only a Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign could suppress the mutant and said he would help clean up the mess.

Maha Tian’s attempt to claim the Eternal Undying Body failed when the Dark Golden Shadow Body attacked Maha You and the other contenders. Zhao Chen offered to save Maha You in exchange for borrowing the Maha Ancient Clan’s Maha Yin-Yang Bottle, leaving Maha Tian to decide whether to accept.

• Maha Tian boasted to Zhao Chen that Maha You would claim the Eternal Undying Body, but the Dark Golden Shadow Body struck Maha You away.

• Zhao Chen explained that the Maha Ancient Clan’s cultivation was poorly suited to immortality and asked Maha Tian to let him inspect the Maha Yin-Yang Bottle.
• Maha Tian refused, insisting that the clan’s sacred object could only appear at the brink of life and death.

• The Ancient Heavenly Emperor told the Pagoda’s consciousness that the Life and Death Reincarnation Immortal Pill might give the Immortal Great Emperor a second life.

Zhao Chen learned why Northern Wilderness Hill would be dangerous during the final Great Thousand Covenant, while the Demon Domain’s leaders discovered that the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor had fallen.

Zhao Chen told Qing Yanjing that Floating Pagoda Old Ancestor could be resurrected with the Life and Death Reincarnation Immortal Pill, prompting her to consider how his return would affect the Floating Pagoda Ancient Clan. He explained that resurrecting the Immortal Great Emperor was far less likely because the emperor had reached the Half-Step Dominator Realm, though restoring the Great Thousand World and Demon Domain might make it possible.
