Chapter Summaries

Han Yi and his allies fought Calamity Burial, Sin Demon, and Ghost Mother inside the Strange Dao Chaos World, but the world’s own consciousness began to awaken amid the destruction. Ancestor God led Han Yi and Dao God out through a breach, and from outside they saw that the entire Chaos World had transformed.

• Han Yi used the Azure Profound Divine Cauldron and Netherfire Divine Spear to wound Sin Demon, while his avatar fought Ghost Mother and Dao God and Ancestor God battled Calamity Burial.
• Han Yi’s spear pinned Sin Demon, and Ghost Mother was stopped from fleeing by an invisible force; Ancestor God discovered that the Strange Dao Chaos World itself had begun to awaken.
• Ancestor God fought through Calamity Burial’s Seven Calamities Gourd and Strange Radiance, then struck Calamity Burial with his hammer and grievously wounded him.
• Ancestor God realized the Strange Dao Chaos World had a vast, strange will and warned Han Yi and Dao God to withdraw.
• Han Yi, Dao God, and Ancestor God regrouped and broke a passage through the Chaos World into Source-less Space.
• The four emerged outside the Strange Dao Chaos World and sensed that the entire world had undergone a bizarre transformation.

The Strange Dao Chaos World awakened a predatory will, destroyed its inhabitants, and trapped the Calamity Burial Mirror inside its Eternal Pillar before restarting. Han Yi and the others identified the realm as a trap, while Calamity Burial planned to return and seize its will; meanwhile, Great Emperor Litian’s emergence threatened the Dao Spirit Chaos World.

• Han Yi, the Ancestor God, and the Dao God escaped the Strange Dao Chaos World as it awakened a unified will and began collapsing its Heavenly Realms.
• Calamity Burial Realm Venerable failed to retrieve the Calamity Burial Mirror from the Eternal Pillar, and he and the Sin Demon fled as the Chaos World attacked them.
• Han Yi proposed that someone who possessed the realm’s will could become its master and potentially elevate it into a Land of Holy Origin, while the Ancestor God warned that the process could assimilate them.
• The Strange Dao Chaos World destroyed its inhabitants, suppressed or digested the Calamity Burial Mirror, released the Ghost Mother, and restarted; the Dao God concluded it had been luring cultivators in as prey.
• Calamity Burial resolved to return secretly to devour the realm’s will, while he and the Sin Demon discussed Great Emperor Litian’s threat to the Dao Spirit Chaos World and Calamity Burial’s revival through it.

After the Strange Dao battle, Han Yi learned that Great Emperor Li Tian, an Emperor-Sealing Eternal and Dao Spirit’s old enemy, had left the Demon Star Sea. With Li Tian’s destination unknown and Dao Spirit at risk, Han Yi turned to the Heavenly River Profound Pillar as his best chance to gain strength quickly.

• Calamity Burial and Sin Demon fled after the four Ancestor Gods trapped the Calamity Burial Mirror in the Strange Dao, and the Strange Dao Chaos World began moving toward the Six Desires Starfall Zone once they had left.
• Dao God and Ancestor God discussed the danger posed by Calamity Burial and Li Tian, and hoped Han Yi would grow strong enough to protect Dao Spirit.
• Han Yi returned to the Heavenly River Chaos World, assessed his strength, and resumed cultivation, but Dao God brought him news half a Chaos Era later.
• Dao God revealed that Li Tian had fought Dao Spirit over a treasure, that his return had driven the efforts behind the Dao Tomb and other plans, and that Li Tian had recently left the Demon Star Sea.
• Dao God warned Han Yi to hide his true body and prepare for evacuation if Li Tian appeared, while arranging to move Dao Spirit’s cultivators to safety.
• Han Yi concluded that ordinary cultivation would be too slow and took up the Heavenly River Profound Pillar, seeking a faster way to gain combat power.

Han Yi forced the Heavenly River Profound Pillar to reveal and complete its outer runes, then learned the first section of the Heavenly River Supreme Scripture. He realized the scripture offered a path from Eternity to Saint Lord, while Emperor Li Tian entered a mysterious Sword Mound to refine his sword.

• Han Yi repeatedly used world power to crack the Heavenly River Profound Pillar, enduring its violent Dao might as the runes on it became complete.
• Emperor Ten Thousand Shadows, Emperor Zi Lin, and Emperor Li Tian waited for the Sword Mound to appear, and Li Tian entered it with the Li Tian Sword.
• Han Yi comprehended the completed runes, which formed the Heavenly River Supreme Scripture, and began studying it.
• Ancestor God, Dao God, and other powers secretly began moving their followers to the Cangyun Divine Sea while Dao God's true body stayed nearby in the source-less void.
• One hundred thousand years later, Han Yi concluded that the scripture's first section revealed a path to Saint Lord that required neither a Chaos World nor the Eternal Pillar.

Han Yi cultivated the first volume of the Heavenly River Supreme Scripture and traveled to the Sword Mound after learning it had appeared in the Six Desires Starfall Zone. Inside, he claimed several powerful swords and confronted Mu Qiong, whose cracked saber and retreat left their fight unresolved.

• Han Yi converted his cultivation to the Heavenly River Supreme Scripture over three hundred thousand years and learned that the Sword Mound had emerged.
• Han Yi traveled to the Six Desires Starfall Zone, where he found hundreds of cultivators waiting for the Sword Mound to open, including Mu Qiong and five Sovereign-sealing Eternals.
• When the Sword Mound's crack opened, Mu Qiong attacked Han Yi but failed to delay him, and Han Yi entered before the crack closed.
• Han Yi obtained the Heavy Edge Divine Sword from a Sword Mound and continued searching for stronger weapons.
• Han Yi entered a Sword Mound where Mu Qiong was fighting a peak King-sealing Eternal divine sword, then attacked Mu Qiong with the Netherfire Divine Spear.
• Han Yi used the Heavenly River Battle Saint Method to shatter Mu Qiong's bone saber and send him fleeing.

Han Yi killed Mu Qiong, subdued the Tixi Divine Sword, and escaped the Sword Mound after discovering an evil sword that controlled cultivators and transformed the entire realm into a sinister formation. Back in the Heavenly River Chaos World, he learned that the Sword Mound was expanding and that even the Forgotten River Sovereign could not stop it.

• Han Yi defeated and killed Mu Qiong after seven years of fighting, then took his damaged Eternal Bone Saber.
• Han Yi convinced the Tixi Divine Sword to submit and left the Sword Mound with it.

• Han Yi learned that Great Emperor Litian had returned to the Demon Star Sea and showed no sign of pursuing Dao Spirit.

After seventeen Chaos Eras of cultivation, Han Yi reached Emperor rank and learned that five mutated lands had formed a dangerous calamity around three great zones of the Source-less Space. He strengthened the Heavenly River Chaos World by lecturing its Half-step Transcendents, then revealed his breakthrough to the Dao God and Ancestor God and prepared to demonstrate his strength beyond Dao Spirit.

• As Han Yi cultivated, five regions across the Source-less Space transformed into dangerous lands of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the master of the Forgotten River Ruins found that they surrounded three great zones and could not be destroyed.
• After seventeen Chaos Eras, Han Yi recognized that he had reached Emperor-ranked strength, inspected the Heavenly River Chaos World, and decided to postpone seeking answers from Bai until he could protect himself better.
• Han Yi lectured the Heavenly River’s Half-step Transcendents on the Dao, helping some advance and inspiring the founding of the Heavenly River Dao Palace, which he affirmed as an orthodox lineage.
• Han Yi went to Dao Spirit and established a King-rank Dao body in the Great Wilderness Dao Palace to guard against Great Emperor Litian.
• The Dao God and Ancestor God met Han Yi, learned that he had reached Emperor rank, and celebrated his arrival as a powerful protector of Dao Spirit.
• The Ancestor God asked to test Han Yi’s Great Emperor strength, so Han Yi led him beyond Dao Spirit to avoid damaging the Chaos World.

Han Yi defeated Ancestor God in a spar, agreed to protect Dao Spirit, and confirmed that the Five-Elements lands formed a grand formation. He then began investigating the lands, fleeing the Frostfire Domain’s Sovereign-level fire dragon before testing the deadly Chaotic Waters.

• Han Yi fought Ancestor God and defeated him after increasing his strength, while Dao God watched.
• Han Yi left a Dao body to guard Dao Spirit and learned that the Great Emperor Litian had returned to the Demon Star Sea.

• Han Yi sent a Dao body to investigate the Frostfire Domain, where fire dragons were drawn to his aura and a Sovereign-level fire dragon approached, forcing him to flee.
• Han Yi reached the Chaotic Waters and sent a manifestation toward its rivers, where a powerful suction immediately dragged it in.

Han Yi explored the altered Five Elements regions in the Thousand Illusions Fallen Evil Zone, collected rare materials, and withdrew from dangerous territories before returning to the Heavenly River Chaos World. Thirty-five Chaos Eras later, he learned that lost cultivators from the Outer Domain were returning as destructive puppets, including an Overlord who had been slain by two other Overlords.

• Han Yi collected Frostchill Dao Water and Blackflame Profound Liquid from the Chaotic Waters, then fled when the rivers seemed to target him with overwhelming suction and an Overlord-level gaze.
• Han Yi examined the Tree Demon's Nest, the Spirit-Devouring Territory, and the Mad Evil Sword Mound, but avoided venturing far into their dangerous depths.
• Han Yi considered visiting Bai's Continent to learn why the ancient Five Elements regions had reappeared, but returned to the Heavenly River Chaos World instead.
• In the Lost Outer Domain, an Emperor-level cultivator was overcome by a mysterious intent, became a puppet, and began moving toward the three great zones as the phenomenon spread.
• Thirty-five Chaos Eras later, Han Yi learned that returning Outer Domain cultivators attacked everything, and that the Formless Overlord and Wangchuan Void Overlord had jointly slain a returning Overlord.

Han Yi learned from Bai that the Lost Cultivators’ return was part of a cycle of calamities that would destroy and restart the Source-less Space, and he began investigating the Lost Will himself. He confirmed its danger near the Outer Realm and recognized that he had only a limited time to grow stronger and protect those he cared about.

• Han Yi read reports of Lost Cultivators attacking Chaos Worlds and discovered that the Five-Elements Land had expanded, then traveled to Bai’s Continent for answers.
• Bai explained that the Lost Great Calamity was followed by the Five Elements Destruction Array, which erased survivors and restarted the Source-less Space every 129,600 Chaos Eras.
• Bai revealed that he had survived the previous cycle and warned that the current destruction could begin after the Lost Great Calamity, leaving Han Yi roughly seventy to ninety Chaos Eras to prepare.
• Han Yi resolved to keep Bai’s warning secret, pursue the Overlord realm, and investigate the Lost Cultivators and Lost Will near the Outer Realm.
• Han Yi killed more than a dozen Eternal Lost Cultivators and found that the Lost Will weakened his strength to about half as it tried to control him.

After abandoning the path of opening a Land of Holy Origin, Han Yi cultivated the Heavenly River Supreme Scripture until he reached the threshold of Sovereign. He went to Covering Wind Realm to settle old grudges with Calamity Burial Realm Venerable and defeated him with a single flick of his finger.

• Han Yi explored the Lost Lands, tested his understanding of the Five Elements, and decided to cultivate only the Heavenly River Supreme Scripture.
• After two Chaos Eras, Han Yi reached the threshold of Sovereign and chose a remote site in the Myriad Dao Ascension Zone for his breakthrough.
• Han Yi learned from Dao Spirit that Calamity Burial Realm Venerable and three other Eternals had gathered at Covering Wind Realm, then set out with Ancestor God, Dao God, and Blood Nether Realm Venerable.
• Calamity Burial Realm Venerable revealed that he had secretly become a Great Emperor and attacked Han Yi with the Nine Emperors Stele.
• Han Yi flicked a finger, shattered the Nine Emperors Stele, and killed Calamity Burial Realm Venerable.

Han Yi killed the Sky Burial Tower’s attackers, took the Nine Emperors Stele, and advanced to Ruler in a secluded Source-less Space. As Lost cultivators devastated the Source-less Space and the holy lands formed alliances, Han Yi agreed to move the Heavenly River Chaos World under the protection of the faction allied with Cangyun Divine Sea.

• Han Yi destroyed the fleeing Sin Demon, Ancestor Demon, and Prison Demon, seized the Nine Emperors Stele, and left Ancestor God, Dao God, and Blood Nether Realm Venerable to handle the remaining Sky Burial Tower cultivators.
• Han Yi traveled to a Source-less Space near Cangyun Divine Sea and spent several hundred years advancing from Emperor to Ruler, then returned to cultivate in the Heavenly River Chaos World.
• As Lost cultivators returned, they destroyed Chaos Worlds and holy lands; the Phoenix Mausoleum Ruler died defending the Absolute Yin Phoenix Mausoleum, and the Nie Long Pool was later destroyed.
• The holy lands formed six super factions and began coordinating against the Lost cultivators, while Ancestor God and Dao God urged Han Yi to join the faction allied with Cangyun Divine Sea.
• Han Yi agreed to move the Heavenly River Chaos World, while Ancestor God and Dao God used his Dao body to move the Dao Spirit Chaos Era toward the faction formed by Cangyun Divine Sea, Mount Mengtuo, and Falling Glow Sky Valley.

Han Yi gathered materials from the Five-Elements lands and forged the Five Elements Map, a weapon powerful enough to destroy two Lost Sovereigns. As the Lost Great Calamity devastated the Source-less Space, two Saint Lords learned from Bai that a greater Destruction Great Calamity was coming and confirmed the Five-Elements lands’ escalating power firsthand.

• Han Yi joined the super holy land faction of Cangyun Divine Sea, Mount Mengtuo, and Falling Glow Sky Valley, promising to help defend against Sovereign-level Lost cultivators.
• Han Yi raided the Five-Elements lands and collected a fire dragon’s tail, Yin Saint Nether Fluid, a tree demon’s trunk, a miraculous mountain range, and an evil sword’s tomb to forge a Saint Lord weapon.
• After tens of thousands of years of experiments, Han Yi forged the Five Elements Map and used it to crush two Lost Sovereigns, earning the respect of the surrounding holy lands.
• Han Yi continued refining the Five Elements Map as the Lost destroyed Chaos Worlds and battered Lands of Holy Origin; an ancient Saint Lord and Violet Radiance Saint Lord separately appeared to defeat Lost attackers.
• The two Saint Lords visited Bai, learned about the Destruction Great Calamity, and attacked the Five-Elements lands; Violet Radiance Saint Lord discovered that each slain fire dragon was replaced by a stronger one, culminating in a Saint Lord-level dragon.

Han Yi watched Bai's Continent burn as Bai sought a path through destruction and prepared to prove the Dao. The chapter ended with Bai drawing a colossal flaming holy artifact from the ruins and striking upward, while Han Yi and the gathered Dominators witnessed the event.

• The Violet Radiance Saint Lord and Saint Lord Star-Skeleton investigated the five-element lands after learning of the Destruction Great Calamity, while Star-Skeleton later entered seclusion.
• Han Yi remained in the Heavenly River Chaos World, refined the Five Elements Map by gathering five-elements experience across nearby Chaos Worlds, and destroyed lost Dominators who threatened his faction.
• Thirty Chaos Eras later, Han Yi sensed a disturbance and traveled to Bai's Continent, where flames were consuming the land.
• The Violet Radiance Saint Lord and Saint Lord Star-Skeleton arrived as Dominators gathered, while Bai's increasingly erratic words revealed his struggle to find a path through destruction.
• After three hundred years, Bai transformed amid the flames, declared that he would prove the Dao, drew a colossal flaming blade from his ruined continent, and slashed upward.

After Bai vanished in a world-shaking saber strike, Han Yi expanded and perfected the Five Elements Map, then used it to trap and refine a Lost Saint Lord. The refinement brought Han Yi to the peak of the Dominator realm, and he began breaking through to Saint Lord as cultivators gathered to witness.

• Bai's Continent vanished after Bai unleashed a self-consuming saber strike, leaving Han Yi and the other cultivators unable to tell whether Bai had escaped or perished.
• Han Yi returned to the Heavenly River Chaos World and spread the Five Elements Map across the three great Lands of Holy Origin, then obtained the Saint Lord section of the Heavenly River Supreme Scripture seven Chaos Eras later.
• Han Yi learned that Lost Cultivators, including a Saint Lord, were attacking the Super Sacred Land and rushed there to aid the embattled Dominators.
• Han Yi deployed the Five Elements Map to annihilate most of the invading Lost Cultivators and trap the Lost Saint Lord, while the other Dominators finished off the remaining attackers.
• After refining the Lost Saint Lord and his sword over a hundred thousand years, Han Yi reached ultimate perfection as a Dominator and began his breakthrough to Saint Lord.

After advancing to Saint Lord, Han Yi hunted powerful Lost Cultivators and forged the Five Elements Map into the Five Elements Heavenly River Pillar, using it to protect the Cangyun Divine Sea and draw the surviving powers around him. Twelve Chaos Eras later, he sensed the Destruction Great Calamity beginning and saw a shocking sight beyond the Frostfire Domain.

• Han Yi completed his breakthrough to Saint Lord, left a Dao body to guard his faction, and set out to hunt ruler-level and Saint Lord-level Lost Cultivators.
• Han Yi explored the Lost, then returned to the Source-less Space and spent ten Chaos Eras hunting Lost Cultivators and strengthening the Five Elements Map.
• Han Yi fused the Five Elements Map with the Heavenly River Profound Pillar, creating the Five Elements Heavenly River Pillar as the Lost Great Calamity reached its peak.
• After Lost forces destroyed two super sacred lands, Han Yi used two strikes to annihilate three Lost Saint Lords and their forces attacking the Cangyun Divine Sea.
• The remaining super sacred lands gathered near Han Yi, and his Five Elements Heavenly River Pillar repeatedly suppressed later Lost invasions.
• Twelve Chaos Eras later, Han Yi sensed the Destruction Great Calamity approaching and looked beyond the Frostfire Domain into the Lost.

Han Yi defended the last surviving sacred lands against the gathering Shadows of Loss, then used the Five Elements Map to resist the Five Elements Destruction Great Calamity as it erupted. After enduring a Chaos Era of attacks, he heard a sigh from the unseen depths.

• Han Yi saw Lost Cultivators merge into Shadows of Loss and recognized that the Five Elements Destruction Array was forming as the Five-Elements Lands joined together.
• Han Yi told the Violet Radiance Saint Lord, Star-Skeleton Saint Lord, and Jie Yuan that he had no sure way to stop either calamity, then destroyed three attacking Shadows of Loss with the Five Elements Heavenly River Pillar.
• Han Yi continued protecting the gathered Lands of Holy Origin with the Five Elements Map and prepared to use it to carry the Heavenly River and Dao Spirit Chaos Worlds through the calamities.
• Three Chaos Eras later, the Five Elements Destruction Array erupted, unleashing destructive entities across the Source-less Space, and Han Yi narrowed the map's coverage while drawing survivors inward.
• Han Yi resisted the Shadows of Loss and the destruction for a full Chaos Era before hearing a sigh from the unseen depths.

After learning from Lü that Heat Silence would destroy the Source Cave unless he reached Hunyuan, Han Yi spent three hundred Chaos Eras cultivating and forging the Five Elements Map into a Source Cave Supreme Treasure. He left the restarting Source Cave and entered the Space of Silent Cycles, setting out to find Heavenly River Palace.
