• A dark True Dragon appeared behind the armor’s golden light and continued ramming the void prison in an attempt to escape.

Meanwhile, Li Zhi resisted the Lord of the Life and Death Forbidden Zone’s time-based attacks and nearly overcame him, but the Dark True Dragon and the unstable Golden Dragon Armor forced Li Zhi to divide his attention.

• After Tuoba Yaoyang recovered, the Miniature Golden Divine Dragon urged him to try again in the Human Immortal Hall, where he could make ten attempts without dying.

Tuoba Yaoyang learned that his failed Nirvana transformation stemmed from his flawed Divine Flame and a mindset still bound to the perspective of ordinary life-forms. After a vision at the Stone Hall clarified his purpose, he entered its trials and defeated the first Golden Bull.

• The Miniature Golden Divine Dragon deduced that Tuoba Yaoyang’s perfect physical origin could not fuse with a Divine Flame formed from the laws of flawed Heaven and Earth, and Tuoba Yaoyang went to cultivate in the Human Immortal Hall.
• At the Stone Hall, Tuoba Yaoyang witnessed the Human Immortal fighting in the Chaos Battlefield and felt his Human King bloodline urge him to carry on his ancestors’ mission.

• Tuoba Yaoyang calmed his Divine Flame until its runes formed a Mysterious Rune, creating the true Divine Core and taking his first step beyond the Current Era Method.

• Li Zhi tested his theory by raising an incarnation through the Divine Path, then shattered the Heavenly God it became and absorbed its vital essence.
• The Miniature Divine Dragon told Tuoba Yaoyang that he could increase his tribulation count by undergoing the Heavenly Tribulations summoned by other cultivators.

Tuoba Yaoyang used other cultivators’ Heavenly Tribulations to compensate for the breakthrough tribulation he had missed, but most of the Ancient Monsters he forced to undergo tribulation were too weak to produce the thunder he needed. After stopping his pursuit, he looked for more formidable targets while Li Zhi remained determined not to interfere in his competition with the young Heavenly Prides.

As the Golden Dao Palace opened, Li Zhi considered whether the flawed Immortal Ancient Method could be transformed before the Age of Dharma Decline.

• Shi Hao endured the Great Dao Executioner Blade, cultivated a third strand of Immortal Qi, and broke through to the True God Realm amid a powerful Heavenly Tribulation.
