After cultivating for over four million years in the Heavenly River Diagram's Origin Space, Fang Chen fused the Five Elements Origin and gained Immortal King combat strength while remaining in the Great Emperor Realm. He began helping the Heavenly River Diagram Artifact Spirit remove its three spikes, but the first spike's power struck back as the Floating Immortal Sword absorbed its energy.

• Fang Chen spent a million years cultivating the Wood Attribute Origin and drew closer to the spikes, but still had not reached the Immortal King threshold.
• After three million more years, Fang Chen fused the fifth Origin and broke through to Immortal King strength, while the Thirteenth Void Lotus appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.
• Fang Chen decided to help the Heavenly River Diagram Artifact Spirit pull out the three spikes and approached them without being hindered by their pressure.
• Fang Chen touched a spike, which sent a pulse through his body and wounded him, so he summoned the Floating Immortal Sword and drove it against the spike.
• The Floating Immortal Sword absorbed energy from the spike and sent torrents of power into Fang Chen.

Fang Chen pulled all three spikes from the Heavenly River Diagram’s origin, freeing the Artifact Spirit from suppressing them and restoring the diagram’s power. The space stabilized and filled with denser cultivation energy, and Fang Chen asked the Artifact Spirit how she felt.

• Fang Chen adapted to the first spike’s fluctuations, then used the Floating Immortal Transformation, Floating Immortal Battle Array, and Chaos Giant Manifestation to pull it from the diagram’s origin.
• The Heavenly River Diagram shook as the Artifact Spirit endured pain, and Fang Chen saw rootlets on the spike draining the diagram’s Source Power.
• Fang Chen pulled out the remaining two spikes without resting, and the Artifact Spirit transported all three outside.
• The Artifact Spirit thanked Fang Chen and said she felt stronger now that she no longer had to suppress the spikes.
• The diagram’s space settled, and the Artifact Spirit replenished its energy, filling the sky with dense Immortal Spiritual Energy and strengthening the conditions for Human Cultivators to train.
• Fang Chen asked the Artifact Spirit how she felt after the restoration.

After removing the Heavenly River Diagram’s three spikes, Fang Chen learned he could cultivate in the Outer Heavens Source Space and discovered the spikes belonged to the Porcupine True Demon Emperor. He tested whether Little Crane could store them, but her attempt failed.

• The Heavenly River Diagram Artifact Spirit told Fang Chen he could cultivate in the Outer Heavens Source Space, where time flowed ten thousand times faster, and said his aura had reached the Third-Turn Immortal King Realm.
• Fang Chen examined the three spikes and learned they belonged to the Porcupine True Demon Emperor, a powerful ally of the World Will who had once defeated the Artifact Spirit’s master.
• Fang Chen vowed to kill the Porcupine True Demon Emperor and avenge Senior Tianhe if it was still alive.
• Fang Chen summoned Little Crane, and the Heavenly River Diagram Artifact Spirit was unable to determine whether she was a Magic Treasure or a living being.
• At Fang Chen’s request, Little Crane tried to store the three spikes in the Spirit Crane Space, but she could not draw them in.

Fang Chen removed the three spikes from the Heavenly River Diagram's Origin, restoring it, and told his companions he had reached the Immortal King Realm. He left them wondering what his exact Cultivation realm was.

• Fang Chen used the Floating Immortal Ring to absorb the three spikes after the Swallowing Heaven Tower and Heaven Refining Furnace failed, and the ring's power strengthened him.
• The Heavenly River Diagram Artifact Spirit thanked Fang Chen as he took the spikes and left to visit his friends.
• Fang Chen met Chaos Great Immortal, Great Immortal Liuli, Xuanhuang Great Immortal, Great Emperor Huo Li, Ye Qingci, Ye Kong, Myna bird, and Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm in a Palace.
• Fang Chen explained that he had cultivated for more than four million years in the Heavenly River Diagram Source Space, reached the Immortal King Realm, and removed the spikes, fully restoring the Diagram's Origin.
• Fang Chen revealed that the Artifact Spirit's struggle to suppress the spikes had allowed the Five Great Families to grow powerful, and Great Immortal Liuli asked what Cultivation realm he had reached.

• Fang Chen revealed that he was still in the Great Emperor Realm and explained that the Outer Heavens Origin Space accelerated time ten thousand times, giving him a chance to pursue the realm beyond Immortal King.
• Fang Chen warned that the World Will’s side had many Immortal Emperor-grade Experts while their own side had none, and he and the others discussed why the World Will had not yet attacked.

• Fang Chen heard that the Human Race had expanded into the Land of Ending, strengthened the Ghost Realm, and gained three Nine-Revolutions Great Immortals and more than fifty Eight-Revolutions Great Immortals.
• Fang Chen went with Ye Qingci to a mountain summit and asked how strong she had become after cultivating for more than two million years in a Time Acceleration Secret Realm.

After telling Fang Chen that she had reached the Half-Step Immortal King Realm, Ye Qingci joined him as he prepared to make Longevity Pills for cultivation in the Outer Heavens Source Space. Once Chaos Great Immortal, Ye Qingci, and the Heavenly River Diagram Artifact Spirit gathered to watch, Fang Chen realized he had never seen the pill formula.

• Ye Qingci told Fang Chen she had reached the Half-Step Immortal King Realm more than two thousand years earlier and expected to break through soon.
• Fang Chen told Ye Qingci he planned to make Longevity Pills before entering the Outer Heavens Source Space, and asked Chaos Great Immortal to gather enough ingredients for one million pills.

• Fang Chen brought Ye Qingci and Chaos Great Immortal to a Hanging Island in the Heavenly River Diagram Space, where the Artifact Spirit joined them to watch.
• Fang Chen expanded the Heaven Refining Furnace and put all the ingredients inside, then admitted he had never seen the Longevity Pill formula.

Fang Chen agreed to receive every book in the Heavenly Mechanism Tower directly into his soul, expecting the transfer to take a hundred years. With the Pagoda Spirit’s help and the Floating Immortal Ring strengthening his soul, he absorbed the entire collection in just thirty years.

• Fang Chen asked the Heavenly River Diagram Artifact Spirit to transfer the Heavenly Mechanism Tower’s books to him so he could study pill formulas and create useful treasures.

• The Pagoda Spirit pressed the shrunken tower to Fang Chen’s brow and poured the tower’s books into his Sea of Consciousness.
• The Floating Immortal Ring eased the strain on Fang Chen’s soul and strengthened it as he absorbed the information.
• After thirty years, the Pagoda Spirit finished the transfer and explained that Fang Chen’s growing capacity had made it far faster than expected.

Fang Chen fused the Longevity Pill formulas he learned from the Heavenly Mechanism Tower and began refining a pill with the Heaven Refining Furnace. After the furnace underwent Tribulation Transcendence, it produced red Longevity Dao Fruits, leaving the onlookers astonished by the legendary medicine.

• Fang Chen spent a month fusing the Longevity Pill formulas into a more perfect medicinal formula, then left the Heavenly Mechanism Tower with its Pagoda Spirit and the Heavenly River Diagram Artifact Spirit.
• Fang Chen summoned Ye Qingci and the Chaos Great Immortal, introduced the Pagoda Spirit, and began refining with the Heaven Refining Furnace while eating hot pot with his Manifestations.
• A year later, Fang Chen's Manifestations attacked the furnace, and the Silhouette in the Eight Trigrams Array Diagram spent three years condensing Dao Patterns.
• The Heavenly River Diagram Artifact Spirit sent the furnace beyond the Outer Heavens to undergo Tribulation Transcendence, and it returned stronger three months later.
• Azure vines grew from the furnace and bore red fruits that the Chaos Great Immortal recognized as legendary Longevity Dao Fruits.

Fang Chen discovered that the red fruits growing on the Heaven Refining Furnace were Longevity Dao Fruits, and found that eating them restored his damaged Life Wheel and granted him eternal life. Ye Qingci gained eternal life as well, and Chaos Great Immortal began examining their Life Wheels.

• Fang Chen identified the red fruits on the Heaven Refining Furnace as legendary Longevity Dao Fruits and picked more than a dozen.
• Fang Chen ate one Longevity Dao Fruit and saw it rapidly repair the Cracks in his Life Wheel.

• Fang Chen asked Chaos Great Immortal to examine his and Ye Qingci's Life Wheels, and Chaos Great Immortal agreed.

Fang Chen distributed the Longevity Dao Fruits he had refined after discovering that they were already breaking down and could not be preserved. Great Emperor Huo Li and Myna Bird ate the fruits, and the chapter ended with Fang Chen asking Myna Bird how he felt.

• Chaos Great Immortal confirmed that the Longevity Dao Fruits gave Life Wheels golden color and stopped their Life Essence from leaking, and Fang Chen decided to share the fruits as rewards.
• The Heavenly Mechanism Tower's Artifact Spirit noticed the picked fruits were breaking down, so Fang Chen and Chaos Great Immortal agreed to distribute them quickly.
• Fang Chen gave most of the fruits to Chaos Great Immortal and kept two hundred to share with Great Emperor Huo Li, Ye Kong, Myna Bird, Li Qingyao, Yue Canglan, and the others.

The Nether Prison Immortal King and Black Phoenix Immortal King invited him to enter the Land of Ending and steal the Heaven and Earth Origin, then explained the history of the Savage World's calamities.

• Fang Chen showed his Emperor Seal and explained that he had fused the Five Elements Origin while remaining in the Great Emperor Realm.
• The Nether Prison Immortal King and Black Phoenix Immortal King said Fang Chen's strength made him effectively invincible in the Land of Ending because its World Will remained asleep.
• The Black Phoenix Immortal King proposed taking Fang Chen into the Land of Ending to steal its treasures, and the Nether Prison Immortal King invited him to help steal the Heaven and Earth Origin.
• The Nether Prison Immortal King explained that the World Will could not fully control the Heaven and Earth Origin and described the First Great Calamity, in which both it and the Savage World's cultivators suffered immense losses.
• The Nether Prison Immortal King recounted how the Ancient Heavenly Court launched the Second Great Calamity, only for the Devil Race to betray them before they could secure victory.

The Nether Prison Immortal King and Black Phoenix Immortal King urged Fang Chen to enter the Land of Ending and obtain Heaven and Earth Origin, which could strengthen Cultivators and accelerate cultivation. After confirming the risks and benefits with the Heavenly River Diagram Artifact Spirit, Fang Chen decided to build up his strength before attempting the journey.

• The Nether Prison Immortal King and Black Phoenix Immortal King explained that Heaven and Earth Origin could help them grow stronger and might let them reach the Immortal Emperor Realm.
• Fang Chen left the Outer Heavens Source Space and asked the Heavenly River Diagram Artifact Spirit about Stealing the Heavens.
• The Heavenly River Diagram Artifact Spirit confirmed that Fang Chen’s Great Emperor Realm cultivation and Immortal King strength would let him resist much of the Land of Ending’s suppression.

• Fang Chen summoned his Foundation Establishment Dao Platform, which expanded to more than ten thousand zhang in diameter.

Fang Chen spent thirty million years trying and failing to fuse the Light Origin with the Five Elements Origin. The Nether Prison Immortal King and the Black Phoenix Immortal King explained that the Heavenly Dao Origin underlay all nine great Origins, leaving Fang Chen with a new understanding of what his fusion required.

• Fang Chen revealed a Foundation Establishment Dao Platform bearing many Innate Dao Diagrams, then cultivated and absorbed Source Power while deducing the Fusion Dao.
• Fang Chen chose the Light Origin as his Sixth Origin, but after thirty million years of attempts, it still could not fuse with the Five Elements Origin.
• The Nether Prison Immortal King asked Fang Chen why the first five Origins had fused more easily than the Sixth Origin.
• Fang Chen reasoned that the Five Elements were material Laws while Light belonged to a higher level of existence.
• The Nether Prison Immortal King and the Black Phoenix Immortal King identified the Heavenly Dao Origin as the source of all nine great Origins and explained that its power could reconcile them.
• Fang Chen realized his failed attempts came from lacking the higher-level energy needed to fuse Light with the Five Elements.

• Black Phoenix Immortal King and Nether Prison Immortal King revealed the Yin-Yang Jade, the Heaven-Hiding Talisman, and a Void Divine Stone as the Three Treasures of Stealing the Heavens.
• Fang Chen recognized the Void Divine Stone as one of the stones he and Little Crane had found before, and Little Crane emerged and tried to swallow it.
• Fang Chen explained that Little Crane had grown stronger after eating two such stones, shocking Black Prison Immortal King and Black Phoenix Immortal King.

After leaving the Outer Heavens Source Space, he consulted the Heavenly River Diagram Artifact Spirit, who confirmed that Void Divine Stones could be found on the Heaven-Stealing Path and revealed that her memories had returned.

• The Nether Prison Immortal King and the Black Phoenix Immortal King recognized Little Crane as a likely spatial Divine Beast and said she raised their chances of success to at least ninety percent.
• The Black Phoenix Immortal King and the Nether Prison Immortal King told Little Crane that the Heaven-Stealing Path held plenty of Void Divine Stones, which could strengthen her Spatial Talent.

• Fang Chen brought Little Crane to the Heavenly River Diagram Space and asked the Artifact Spirit about Void Divine Stones; she confirmed they were on the Heaven-Stealing Path and said removing three spikes from her Origin had restored much of her memory.
