Chapter Summaries

Han Yi gained a breakthrough in sword comprehension after the Sword Witch Heavenly Venerable imparted the Dao, then learned that Demon Witch Mountain would move to the Dao God Sect to face the coming Dao Tomb Calamity. He returned to his grotto-heaven resolved to advance quickly toward the Heavenly Venerable Realm.

• The Sword Witch Heavenly Venerable manifested a colossal sword above Demon Witch Mountain, and Han Yi used the vision to comprehend the sixth form of his Mira Profound Truth Sword Canon, Primordial Unity.

• Han Yi returned to his grotto-heaven, saw that his Mira Profound Truth Dao Scripture had advanced to 47/100, and resolved to reach the Heavenly Venerable Realm as quickly as he could.

Han Yi traveled with Demon Witch Mountain through the dangerous Chaos Antiquity Dao Domain and recognized a colossal Grave-Crossing Dao Boat built by Sacrificial Daoists. Sword Witch Celestial Venerable identified it as the supreme treasure of Radiant Flame Sacred Land, whose master sought to use the Dao Tomb to reach transcendence.

• Han Yi ordered his Wanming Incarnations to cultivate his Mira Profound Truth Dao Scripture and considered seeking stronger incarnations to increase his proficiency.
• Demon Witch Mountain reopened and began traveling toward the Dao God Sect, passing through the Ancestor God and Origin Demon Dao Domains before entering the chaotic Chaos Antiquity Dao Domain.
• As Demon Witch Mountain crossed the Chaos Antiquity Dao Domain, Han Yi witnessed disorderly Dao Realm battles and the mountain activated its protective barrier against possible threats.
• Three years after entering the domain, Sword Witch Celestial Venerable slowed Demon Witch Mountain to inspect a colossal object approaching their path.
• Han Yi recognized the object as a Grave-Crossing Dao Boat and explained that Sacrificial Daoists had built one in his world before leaving with it.
• Sword Witch Celestial Venerable revealed that the Dao boat belonged to Radiant Flame Sacred Land and had been assembled from countless smaller boats to help its master use the Dao Tomb to pursue transcendence.

Han Yi arrived at the Dao God Sect with the Sword Demon Witch and joined thousands of powerful cultivators in comprehending the World Core Deduction. After his brief vision of its mysteries ended, he noticed the proficiency panel flashing concealed crimson characters but refrained from opening it.

• The nine Demon Witch Mountains gathered at the Dao God Continent, and Han Yi was selected to accompany Sword Witch Heavenly Venerable to the Dao God Sect.
• Han Yi and the other Sword Demon Witch cultivators arrived at Dao God Mountain, where Demon Witch Mountain's master summoned them before a gathering of twelve half-step Transcendents and thousands of Heavenly Venerables.
• Han Yi recognized Sui Zhu Heavenly Venerable among the gathered figures and entered a special space to comprehend strands of light from the nine-colored World Core.
• A destructive force bearing the aura of a Dao Tomb Ripple shattered Han Yi's vision, ending his chance to comprehend the World Core.
• Han Yi noticed the proficiency panel flashing faint crimson characters every nine breaths but stayed calm and did not open it.
• The Heavenly Venerables emerged from their comprehension after the time it took for an incense stick to burn.

Han Yi learned that the World Core was being used to seek a safe route through the Dao Tomb, then devised a way to accelerate his cultivation by turning isolated Dao Realm cultivators into Wanming Incarnations. After recruiting 390 cultivators to practice his Dao Scripture, he returned to Demon Witch Mountain with Dao Fruit within reach.

• Sword Witch Heavenly Venerable explained that the Dao God Sect was using the World Core to deduce a safe route through the Dao Tomb and that other powers would take turns participating.
• Han Yi inspected his proficiency panel, found repeated notices about Life Seeds and World Force, and realized that cultivating alone would make his Dao Scripture progress far too slowly.
• Han Yi traveled to Dao God Continent and subdued Wan Shi Dao Ancestor, ordering him to cultivate the first volume of the Mira Profound Truth Dao Scripture in seclusion.
• Han Yi recruited 390 first-step Dao Realm cultivators as Wanming Incarnations and returned to Demon Witch Mountain after ten years.
• Han Yi found his Dao Scripture progress had reached 51/100 and calculated that the incarnations could help him complete it in a little over a hundred years, allowing his Dao Fruit to take form.

Han Yi met Heavenly Venerable Sui Zhu and agreed to return with him to Primordial Antiquity, gathering most of his Dao Realm incarnations while waiting on the Dao God Continent. Three years later, a prodigy from True Saint Palace tracked him down and attacked, leaving Han Yi facing a dangerous new opponent.

• Han Yi told Heavenly Venerable Sui Zhu about the Immortal Court and his own exploits, then agreed to return to Primordial Antiquity with him in ten years.
• Han Yi gathered 375 of his Dao Realm incarnations into his Divine Aperture World after fifteen failed to arrive.
• A young Dao Realm cultivator from True Saint Palace descended on Han Yi's city and struck at him with a silver sword, devastating a valley and injuring the city's Dao Fruit Realm cultivator.
• Han Yi evaded the sword with the Trace-less Dao Art and recognized the attacker as a prodigy whose strength seemed comparable to an Outer Dao Realm expert.
• The True Saint Palace cultivator said he had found Han Yi, while Han Yi questioned how the man and Ten-Thousand Dynasties Dao Ancestor had tracked him down.

Han Yi fought Li Ye of True Saint Palace, grievously wounded him with the Yueguang Divine Spear, and tried to pursue him before the Second Palace Master intervened. After Han Yi used the spear to repel the Celestial Venerable’s attack, another Celestial Venerable appeared above him.

• Li Ye attacked Han Yi with his silver sword, and Han Yi answered with the Void Sword Realm, leaving one of his Dao swords cracked after their first clash.
• Li Ye merged his Dao Fruit and Dao soul into an Outer Dao Dharma manifestation, but Han Yi shattered it with the Yueguang Divine Spear and sent Li Ye fleeing in a weakened state.
• Han Yi pursued Li Ye, but the Second Palace Master of True Saint Palace appeared and struck at him with spiritual radiance.
• Han Yi burned his remaining Life Seeds and channeled his powers into Yueguang, which destroyed the Celestial Venerable’s attack and returned to his side.
• A colossal arm reached toward Han Yi and Yueguang, but a white-browed Celestial Venerable appeared above him.

Sui Zhu Heavenly Venerable rescued Han Yi from the True Saint Palace’s attack and drove back Yu Chang’s Dharma-body strike with the Sui Zhu Ancient Seal. He withdrew with Han Yi, who began recovering and considered whether he could grow strong enough to settle the grudge himself before the True Saint Palace returned.

• Sui Zhu Heavenly Venerable shattered Yu Chang’s descending Dharma-body arm with the Sui Zhu Ancient Seal, then retreated with Han Yi rather than face the True Saint Palace’s three Palace Masters.
• Yu Chang learned that Han Yi had killed four Dao Realm cultivators under her command and vowed to seek revenge, while Yuehua ordered the Palace Masters to prioritize the Dao God Sect’s task.
• Sui Zhu told Han Yi that the True Saint Palace would not return to the Fuheng Dao Domain for fifty thousand years and suggested Han Yi could become strong enough to settle the feud himself.
• Han Yi worried that the three Palace Masters would pursue them, but Sui Zhu assured him that they had escaped and brought him to a temporary palace at the edge of the Dao God Sect.
• Han Yi entered a side hall, examined his injuries, and found they were not serious.

After recovering from Axe Radiance’s eruption, Han Yi traveled with Sui Zhu and several Heavenly Venerables toward the Immortal Court. Their Dao vessel was ambushed in the Chaos Antiquity Dao Domain, where Hongjun Grand Heavenly Venerable stayed behind to face the awakening Immortal Tomb Lord as Han Yi fled from pursuing Dao-Extinguishers.

• Han Yi spent seven years recovering his Immortal Dao and Divine Dao power before joining Sui Zhu and the other Heavenly Venerables.
• Hongjun Grand Heavenly Venerable transported the group aboard his Dao vessel, which was expected to cross three Dao Domains in three years.
• Half a year into the journey, falling fire appeared inside the vessel, and Sui Zhu gave Han Yi a purple Dao talisman and told him to escape if danger came.
• Hongjun revealed that the Immortal Tomb Lord was awakening and urged everyone to flee while he held off the enemy.
• Hongjun suppressed the Dao-Extinguisher Heavenly Venerables and opened a gap, allowing the other Heavenly Venerables and Dao Realm cultivators to escape.
• Han Yi fled into the chaotic void and discovered several Dao-Extinguishers pursuing him.

After escaping the Immortal Mausoleum’s pursuit, Han Yi survived by disguising himself and using Wanming Incarnations to scout, then hunted Chaos Evil Gods to rebuild his forces and cultivate. He completed the Mira Profound Truth Dao Scripture and began the final step of condensing his Dao Fruit.

• Han Yi fought off pursuing Dao Annihilators with Taosi, then transformed into one and released his Wanming Incarnations to help him evade stronger enemies.
• Han Yi fled the Immortal Mausoleum’s territory and hid among the Dao-less Ones, losing nearly three hundred Wanming Incarnations during the escape.
• Han Yi spent thirty years capturing Chaos Evil Gods and turned many of them into Wanming Incarnations before settling down to cultivate.
• Han Yi cultivated alongside more than seven hundred Wanming Incarnations and completed the Mira Profound Truth Dao Scripture after fifty years.
• Han Yi manifested the Milo Profound Truth Dao Pagoda and poured his accumulated insights into it, beginning to condense his Dao Fruit.

Han Yi broke through to the Dao Fruit realm in the Chaos Antiquity Dao Domain, then disguised himself as a Dao Destroyer to investigate Heavenly Venerable Sui Zhu’s fate. At a mysterious sea of fire left by the ancient battle, he confirmed Sui Zhu had likely survived, but an indistinct intent called to him from the flames.

• Han Yi completed his Milo Profound Truth Dao Fruit breakthrough as chaotic evil gods and an Outer Dao-level strange Dao practitioner converged on him, then escaped without leaving his aura behind.
• Han Yi traveled to the Chaos Antiquity Immortal Tomb disguised as a Dao Destroyer and secretly captured a three-eyed alien Dao Destroyer to hide within its Dao World.
• Han Yi learned that four Dao Destroyer Heavenly Venerables had fallen in the battle a hundred years earlier, while only one of the passing Heavenly Venerables had died there.
• Han Yi followed the alien to the place where a Heavenly Venerable had fallen and found a vast sea of crimson-gold fire that could burn through his divine power and body.
• Han Yi judged that the sea of fire was not Heavenly Venerable Sui Zhu, but as he prepared to leave, an indistinct intent summoned him from its depths.

Han Yi rescued a golden egg carrying Donghuang Bu'er's aura from a sea of fire, then fought a Black Sickle Clan Outer Dao cultivator and escaped. After reuniting with his last incarnation and traveling through the Chaos Antiquity Dao Domain, he reached the border between two Dao Domains.

• Han Yi recognized Donghuang Bu'er's aura on a golden egg and guessed she had undergone nirvana after Primordial Unity's death.
• Han Yi pulled the imprisoned egg from the sea of fire just as a Black Sickle Clan Outer Dao cultivator arrived, and stored the egg in a Divine Aperture World.
• Han Yi fought the Black Sickle Clan cultivator, then used the force of their clashes to flee while his pursuer chased him for ten years.
• Han Yi shook off the Black Sickle Clan pursuer with a manifested chaos relic and spent another ten years waiting for his Dao Realm incarnations to catch up.
• Han Yi retrieved his final incarnation, crossed Inverse Origin Mountain and the Radiant Flame Sacred Land, and avoided the Grave-Crossing Dao Boat.
• Han Yi traveled for another thirty years and reached the border between the two Dao Domains.

After crossing into the Origin Demon Dao Domain, Han Yi encountered two Immortal Venerables fighting over a treasure from the Ashen Ruins and stopped Ao Zhuang from killing Suxin. He learned that a vast Ashen Ruins had appeared near the Emperor Mystic Continent and asked whether false Ashen Ruins existed as well.

• Han Yi crossed the dark boundary with his Dao Fruit Realm Wanming Incarnations and emerged in the Origin Demon Dao Domain.
• Han Yi recalled his incarnations and headed through the ordered Dao Domain toward the Ancestor God Dao Domain.
• Han Yi encountered Ao Zhuang pursuing Suxin and heard that she had obtained a treasure from the Ashen Ruins.
• Han Yi caught Ao Zhuang's spear, then asked him about the Ashen Ruins.
• Ao Zhuang told Han Yi that a vast Ashen Ruins had appeared southeast of the Emperor Mystic Continent, and Han Yi asked whether false ruins existed.

Han Yi entered the newly emerged Ashen Ruins and discovered a mysterious Heavy Profound Dao Stele at their outskirts. After finding that it was astonishingly durable and impossibly heavy, he pulled it free, drawing the attention of nearby cultivators.

• Han Yi learned from Ao Zhuang that the Ashen Ruins were highly likely to be a genuine Ashen Mountain ruin, then examined Suxin's ancient Dao hairpin and returned it to her.
• Han Yi obtained star maps from Ao Zhuang and Suxin, dismissed them, and decided to investigate the Ashen Ruins rather than head straight toward the Ancestor God Dao Domain.
• Three days later, Han Yi entered the gray ruins wearing the Boundless Divine Armor and found a landscape of shattered palaces and mountains where his senses were heavily suppressed.
• Han Yi examined a Heavy Profound Dao Stele, discovered it could withstand his attacks, and realized its worn inscription had been damaged by powerful strikes.
• Han Yi used his full strength to pull the stele from the ground and found that it weighed as much as several worlds, prompting nearby cultivators to rush toward him.

Han Yi pulled the Heavy Profound Dao Stele from the ruins and fought off cultivators who tried to claim it. After matching Zhuang Ruyi of the Emperor Xuan Sect in a fierce battle, Han Yi left the ruins carrying the stele while Zhuang Ruyi withdrew.

• Han Yi discovered that the Heavy Profound Dao Stele could not be stored in his Divine Aperture World, so he carried it on his shoulder.
• Liu Zong of the Ancient Lotus Dao Sect tried to stop Han Yi with a silver net, but Han Yi smashed the Dao artifact and drove him away.
• Zhuang Ruyi, Seventh Elder of the Emperor Xuan Sect, demanded the stele, and Han Yi challenged him to take it by force.
• Han Yi fought Zhuang Ruyi with the Taosi Divine Axe, breaking through his black-brush attacks and matching the azure lights of his Outer Dao Dharma Idol.
• Zhuang Ruyi withdrew into the ruins, and Han Yi carried the Heavy Profound Dao Stele out while nearby cultivators chose not to pursue him.

Han Yi investigated the Heavy Profound Dao Stele on Emperor Mystic Continent and discovered that its tiny particles contained separate Cave Heaven Worlds. After activating enough particles to gain limited authority over the stele, he stored it in his Divine Aperture World, separated his Dao Realm avatars to lessen the pressure on himself, and returned to the Ashen Ruins to explore further.

• Han Yi carried the Heavy Profound Dao Stele to Emperor Mystic Continent and spent years probing it with his Dao sense, divine power, and Dao power.
• Han Yi activated nine tiny particles within the stele and found that each held a Cave Heaven World, then gained limited authority to store the stele in his Central Mansion Divine Aperture World.
• Han Yi activated a tenth, more advanced Cave Heaven World, but stopped investigating further because he could not determine the stele’s true nature.
• Han Yi realized that the stele and his eighty-six Dao Realm avatars were weighing down his movements, so he released the avatars and arranged for them to gather within six of his first Dao Realm avatars.
• Han Yi concealed his appearance, left Emperor Mystic Continent, and returned to the Ashen Ruins through a different entrance.
• Han Yi crossed into the ruins and found himself at the foot of a divine mountain.

Han Yi followed the Ashen Tower fragment’s signal into the misty maze formation, where he found himself trapped among cultivators in a deadly cycle of trials. A Dao Fruit cultivator explained that everyone who enters the Cycle World eventually returns to the same place, including the Celestial Venerables.

• Han Yi explored the divine mountain, learned that several Celestial Venerables had vanished in the ruins, and heard rumors of an Ashen Cauldron fragment and a maze formation at the core.
• Han Yi found that the Ashen Tower fragment trembled near the maze, and he entered the mist after an Outer Dao cultivator went inside.
• Han Yi appeared in the sky among hundreds of cultivators and saw a spiritual light kill an Immortal Venerable who charged upward in delusion.
• A Dao Fruit cultivator asked Han Yi whether the Emperor Xuan Sect’s Supreme Elders would break the Cycle World, then explained that entrants were repeatedly sent through fragments of Ashen Mountain’s past battles and always returned to the same place.

Han Yi completed a demon-slaying mission in a reincarnation world but returned to the mist, where a Dao Fruit realm cultivator explained that outsiders’ identities might invalidate their trials. Han Yi suspected the Heavy Profound Dao Stele could let him claim Ashen Mountain identity and make his battle merits count, and considered testing the idea.

• A Dao Fruit realm cultivator told Han Yi that the mist was a death realm of endless reincarnation and that no one had passed its trials.
• Han Yi entered a demon valley, investigated its history, and slaughtered its 108,000 demons to complete the mission.
• Han Yi returned to the clouds after receiving one battle merit, and the Dao Fruit realm cultivator explained that completed missions still counted as failures because the entrants lacked Ashen Mountain identities.
• Han Yi asked about hiding instead of completing missions and learned that dormant cultivators were eventually expelled and returned to the clouds.
• Han Yi examined the Heavy Profound Dao Stele and suspected that carving his name onto it could grant him an Ashen Mountain identity, allowing his battle merits to count.

Han Yi used repeated reincarnation missions to cultivate Wanming Incarnations, earn battle merits, and break through to the middle stage of the Boundless realm. After carving his name into the Heavy Profound Dao Stele and earning another merit, he was sent to a mist-shrouded tower, where the stele recorded his name, Dao Fruit status, and battle record.

• Han Yi tried carving his name into the Heavy Profound Dao Stele but found his divine power too weak to mark it.
• Han Yi turned mission targets into Wanming Incarnations to gain proficiency, then extinguished them before the reincarnation world expelled him and awarded him battle merit.
• Han Yi repeated the strategy across several missions, and the accumulated proficiency advanced his Divine Canon from 49/100 to 50/100, breaking him through to the middle stage of the Boundless realm.
• Han Yi used his strengthened divine power to carve “Han Yi” into the Dao Stele, then earned another battle merit by killing a spare mother insect and extinguishing his incarnations.
• The Dao Stele trembled as Han Yi was expelled from the reincarnation world to a mist-shrouded tower, where new writing appeared after his name: “Dao Fruit, battle merits, 5 victories, 0 defeats.”

Han Yi used the Heavy Profound Dao Stele to enter Ashen Mountain’s inheritance grounds as a Dao Son and learned that its inheritance was the artifact-refining method Ashen Nine Refinements. After battling through assessment worlds until he reached the limit of his current strength, he returned to the tower and was offered the inheritance.

• Han Yi discovered that the Heavy Profound Dao Stele had registered him as an Ashen Mountain cultivator and approached the tower hidden in the mist.
• The spirit of Ashen Mountain explained that Han Yi could claim the inheritance by completing assessments and revealed that Ashen Nine Refinements could forge Ashen Sets and restore Ashen fragments.
• Han Yi entered the Fire Realm assessment as a Dao Son, destroyed its thirty thousand Fire Demons, and continued into further mission worlds.
• As Han Yi’s battle record rose, his assessments grew harder, forcing him to face increasing numbers of Dao Fruit opponents and, eventually, Outer Dao cultivators.
• Han Yi fought until he reached a battle record of 121 wins and 181 losses, then stopped after deciding he had reached his current limit.
• The spirit told Han Yi that he could receive the inheritance, and Han Yi said he was ready.

Han Yi left the Ashen Ruins with the Ashen Nine Refinements and traveled to the Violet Rainbow Continent, where he arranged to smuggle himself and his incarnations through a temporary Dao Domain passage. As the group approached the passage, two other smugglers revealed Outer Dao realm strength and raced ahead alongside him.

• Han Yi received and comprehended part of the Ashen Nine Refinements, then left the Ashen Ruins and headed toward the Ancestor God Dao Domain.
• Han Yi reached the Violet Rainbow Continent and learned that its official passage rules would expose his Disorder incarnations, so he chose a temporary smuggling route.
• Han Yi sent Li San to buy nine passage slots and cultivated the Ashen Nine Refinements while waiting in a rented cave abode.
• Li San returned with the passage slots, and Han Yi traveled with his group to a Star Chaos Belt to join the smugglers.
• A Dao Fruit cultivator led the gathered teams toward the temporary passage, then fled after warning them that they had to continue on their own.
• Han Yi revealed his Outer Dao-level speed and raced for the passage, only to discover that two other smugglers also possessed Outer Dao realm strength.
