Chapter Summaries

Fang Chen turned the Floating Immortal Sword against the Demon Emperor's Clone, draining his power and leaving him vulnerable to the Heaven Mending Goddess and Fang Chen's attacks. After capturing the clone's severed hands and weakening him further, Fang Chen faced the clone's full-power Extinction attack and prepared to bind him with the Qiankun Seal.

• The Demon Emperor's Clone grabbed the Floating Immortal Sword, but Fang Chen infused it with Fusion Source Power and let go, causing the sword to devour the clone's power.
• Fang Chen summoned the Heaven Mending Goddess Manifestation, which struck the distracted clone with the Black Stone, and Fang Chen followed with a palm strike that infused him with Crimson Lotus Power and the Universe Curse Seal.
• Unable to escape while the sword drained him, the Demon Emperor's Clone severed his arms and fled, but the Heaven Mending Goddess hit him again and Fang Chen caught the sword with the clone's hands still attached.
• Fang Chen stored the hands in the Floating Immortal Ring, where its Laws suppressed and broke them down; the clone regrew his hands but emerged weakened.
• The Demon Emperor's Clone roared out "Extinction!" and prepared to attack, while Fang Chen invoked the Qiankun Seal to bind him.

Fang Chen used a newly glimpsed sword technique, Return to the Ruins, to erase the Demon Emperor's Clone after the Universe Curse Seal disrupted its power. The Floating Immortal Sword restored Fang Chen's strength but remained rusted, and he resolved to help it recover.

• The Universe Curse Seal activated inside the Demon Emperor's Clone and disrupted its connection to its Natal Demon Bead.
• Fang Chen resonated with the Floating Immortal Sword and comprehended Return to the Ruins, a sword move that made its target fall from existence into nothingness.
• Fang Chen thrust the Floating Immortal Sword at the Demon Emperor's Clone, erasing it despite its attempt to flee and return its core will to its true body.

• The Floating Immortal Sword poured energy into Fang Chen, while witnesses in the Swallowing Heaven Tower watched in shock.
• Fang Chen examined the rusted sword and promised to help it regain its former strength.

After defeating the Extinction Demon Emperor’s clone, Fang Chen escaped the Abyss of Annihilation and reunited with the rescued prisoners. With Little Crane asleep, the group could not determine how to navigate back to the Land of Ending, until White Fox said she might know the way.

• Fang Chen’s cultivation stabilized at the peak of the Nine-Revolution Immortal King’s Perfection Realm, and he escaped the Abyss of Annihilation through its final barrier.
• Fang Chen hid the Swallowing Heaven Tower inside a lifeless star and reunited with Ye Qingci, his companions, and the 136 rescued prisoners.
• Immortal Emperor Yin-Yang and the other prisoners thanked Fang Chen for saving them.
• Fang Chen explained that Little Crane was asleep and asked how they could return to the Land of Ending without her guidance.
• Gu Daozi and the others said they lacked reliable Starry Sky Coordinates and Star Charts, leaving the group unsure how to cross the void.
• White Fox rose and said she might know the route back.

White Fox revealed that he could use his Soul Origin to sense an Eternal Star Marker and guide everyone through the Endless Star Domain, though the technique would kill him. Fang Chen accepted White Fox’s sacrifice, and the Swallowing Heaven Tower headed for the remains of an Ancient continent as the rescued prisoners recalled the sacrifices that filled the battlefield ruins.

• White Fox explained that he would burn his Soul Origin in the Fallen Star Graveyard to sense an Eternal Star Marker and find a route toward the Land of Ending.
• Ye Qingci warned that the technique would kill White Fox, but White Fox insisted it was their only hope and Fang Chen solemnly accepted his decision.
• Fang Chen piloted the Swallowing Heaven Tower through the Void while White Fox directed it toward the remains of an Ancient continent.
• Those inside the tower watched the battlefield remnants, and White Fox explained that the area held the ashes of countless civilizations.
• The rescued prisoners recognized the ruins and recounted how their ancestors had sacrificed themselves to stop the Devil Race, leaving the others in solemn awe.

Fang Chen shared Heaven and Earth Origin with the rescued cultivators and guided the Swallowing Heaven Tower toward a fragment of the Ancient God Realm. As the group entered an eerie, seemingly calm stretch of space, countless strange creatures surged out of hiding.

• Fang Chen gave Immortal Emperor Yin-Yang and the other rescued cultivators Heaven and Earth Origin so they could recover and prepare to fight the Heavenly Dao.
• Immortal Emperor Yin-Yang identified the approaching landmass as a fragment of the Ancient God Realm and warned Fang Chen to avoid its chaotic laws and hazards.
• Fang Chen steered the Swallowing Heaven Tower around dangerous Spatial Folds and a cursed Black Stone while reflecting on the need to strengthen his Soul Perception.
• After roughly three hours of travel, Fang Chen and the others noticed an unnaturally calm stretch of space and suspected the stars concealed an ancient formation.
• Countless twisted creatures burst from behind Meteorites and Spatial Folds and charged toward the Swallowing Heaven Tower.

Fang Chen charged into the Heavenly Slave horde and slaughtered them with the Floating Immortal Sword, which devoured their power and strengthened him. After killing three powerful leaders, he faced the remaining disordered horde and continued the battle.

• Gu Daozi recognized the area as a trap concealing a vast horde of Heavenly Slaves, including dozens with Immortal King-level auras.
• Fang Chen left the Swallowing Heaven Tower and charged into the horde, using Sword Shatters Xinghe to devour and destroy its strongest attackers.
• Fang Chen fought through the Heavenly Slaves as the Floating Immortal Sword absorbed their energy and his cultivation edged toward the Immortal Emperor barrier.
• Fang Chen used Slaughter Heaven and Earth and Destroy All Beings to kill the metal-shelled Heavenly Slave leader, then destroyed the splitting leader and drained the shadow leader.
• The Heavenly Slaves lost their formation after their leaders fell, and Fang Chen charged back into the remaining horde to continue slaughtering them.

After Fang Chen wiped out the Heavenly Slaves, he led the group to the Chaotic Starry Sky so White Fox could reveal the way back to the Heaven-Reaching Ancient Road. White Fox sacrificed herself to pass Fang Chen the route’s coordinates and remaining traces, leaving him to guide everyone home.

• Fang Chen defeated the last Heavenly Slaves, strengthened his cultivation and Floating Immortal Sword, and checked the battlefield for hidden threats.
• Fang Chen reunited with Ye Qingci and the others, then urged them to leave before the battle attracted other enemies.
• Three days later, Fang Chen brought the group to the Chaotic Starry Sky, where White Fox prepared to burn her Soul Origin to find the Ancient Road’s coordinates.
• White Fox transformed into a giant Nine-Tailed White Fox and sacrificed herself to send Fang Chen a vision of a dark-gold star northeast in the xun position, along with traces of the Heaven-Reaching Ancient Road.
• White Fox entrusted Fang Chen with the waymarker and asked him to take everyone home before her body turned to ash.

After White Fox sacrificed himself to give Fang Chen the route home, Fang Chen led his companions through the Chaotic Starry Sky. An Accumulation Layer trapped the Swallowing Heaven Tower, and three monsters ambushed Fang Chen as he tried to escape.

• Fang Chen received White Fox's Star-mark Coordinates and led everyone into the Swallowing Heaven Tower to follow them home.
• Ten days into the journey, an Accumulation Layer slowed the Swallowing Heaven Tower and began closing around it.
• An elderly man explained that accumulated negative energies and spatial debris formed the dangerous trap, and Void Heaven warned that it would imprison them.
• Three Bronze War Spears attacked the tower from outside the Accumulation Layer, revealing that someone had laid an ambush.
• Fang Chen deflected the spears with the Floating Immortal Sword as a skull-faced elder, a six-armed creature, and a figure shrouded in black mist appeared.
• The black-robed elder demanded Fang Chen's tower and valuables, but Fang Chen called the three attackers trash and prepared to fight.

Fang Chen broke through the three attackers’ coordinated assault, then unleashed a sword strike that erased the black-robed elder’s weapons and ghostfire. The gray line reached the Myriad Souls Bone Staff, leaving the elder facing the attack’s full force.

• The Six-Armed Monster, the black-mist figure, and the black-robed elder attacked Fang Chen together with weapons, a tentacle, curses, and ghostfire.
• Fang Chen broke through the Six-Armed Monster’s defenses, cut him apart, and trapped him in the Darkness Devouring God Domain for the Chaos Devouring God Bee to consume.
• Fang Chen dodged the black-mist figure’s tentacle and severed it with the Floating Immortal Sword.
• The black-robed elder launched Bronze War Spears and ghostfire dragons at Fang Chen.
• Fang Chen used One Sword Returns to Ruin to erase the spears and ghostfire before its gray line touched the Myriad Souls Bone Staff.

Fang Chen defeated the three dark hunters in the Accumulation Layer and continued through the Chaotic Starry Sky. After seven days of travel, he found the first Star Coordinates and approached the normal starry sky leading toward the Land of Ending.

• Fang Chen used the Floating Immortal Sword to destroy the black-robed elder and slay Black Mists, while the Six-Armed Monster remained trapped in his Darkness Devouring God Domain.
• Fang Chen discovered that the rusted Floating Immortal Sword had grown more powerful at devouring energy and used it to drain the Six-Armed Monster.
• Fang Chen returned to the Swallowing Heaven Tower and led everyone away from the Accumulation Layer after its danger subsided.
• Fang Chen traveled for seven days through the Chaotic Starry Sky, battling only scattered Void creatures and Restrictions while he and the others recovered and cultivated.
• Fang Chen spotted the ancient starlight of the Star Coordinates and sensed the Chaotic Starry Sky giving way to normal Starry Sky Law.

Fang Chen and the others escaped the Chaotic Starry Sky and returned to a Land of Ending, where Immortal Emperor Yin-Yang revealed that the Savage World had three sealed regions and three Lands of Ending. The chapter ended with the Myna bird asking which region they had reached.

• Fang Chen guided the Swallowing Heaven Tower to the Star Coordinates, and Gu Daozi estimated that the Guiding Starfield was five days away.
• Fang Chen and the others traveled for five days and reached a Land of Ending, but Fang Chen and the Nether Prison Immortal King's Clone sensed that its Space Laws were unfamiliar.
• Immortal Emperor Yin-Yang explained that the Savage World had three Lands of Ending, created after successive Heaven-Extermination Wars to summon powerful Cultivators.
• Immortal Emperor Yin-Yang described the Primordial Region, Ancient Region, and Fringe Region, and said the Path to Heaven was the only way out of the sealed regions.
• The Myna bird asked Immortal Emperor Yin-Yang which region they were in.

In the Ancient Region, Fang Chen learned that the Primordial Region remained isolated and that returning home would be difficult. He reached a Five Elements Sect outpost, reunited with allies from the Path to Heaven, and prepared to continue to the Heavenly Ruins to find Time's Tear for Little Crane.

• Gu Daozi explained the Ancient Region, the isolated Primordial Region, and the mysterious Counterattack Horn, while Fang Chen confirmed that the Heavenly Ruins were in the Ancient Region.
• Gu Daozi led Fang Chen and the others to a ruined Five Elements Sect outpost and used its concealed Communication Array to contact a sect veteran.
• Immortal Emperor Yun Yi arrived with several powerful cultivators, welcomed Gu Daozi and Fang Chen, and recognized the returned Immortal Emperor Yin-Yang.
• Immortal Emperor Yun Yi sent Immortal Emperor Yin-Yang and the other weakened survivors to a secure Secret Realm to recover.
• Fang Chen offered Immortal Emperor Yun Yi some Heaven and Earth Origin so the Ancient Region's experts could use it before the World Will awakened.

Fang Chen prepared to enter the Heavenly Ruins in search of Tears of Time to save Little Crane, while Lin Xiao severed his cultivation so he could accompany him. The pair departed for the deadly ruins with a Star Chart and supplies, leaving Immortal Emperor Yun Yi and Gu Daozi hoping they would find a way to succeed.

• Fang Chen shared Heaven and Earth Origin with allies before most of the group returned to the Five Elements Sect.
• Immortal Emperor Yun Yi warned Fang Chen about the dangers ahead and cautioned Lin Xiao that severing his cultivation could end his Dao Path.
• Lin Xiao shattered his Dao Foundation and reduced his cultivation from the Immortal King Realm to the Great Emperor Peak Realm, nearly dying in the process.
• Gu Daozi and Immortal Emperor Yun Yi stabilized Lin Xiao, and Fang Chen learned that Heaven and Earth Origin could not safely heal him.
• Immortal Emperor Yun Yi gave Fang Chen a Star Chart, and Gu Daozi gave Lin Xiao life-saving supplies before Fang Chen led the group toward the Heavenly Ruins.
• Gu Daozi asked whether Fang Chen and Lin Xiao would succeed, and Immortal Emperor Yun Yi said he hoped Fang Chen could create another miracle.

Fang Chen and Lin Xiao entered the Chaos Mist Sea surrounding the Heavenly Ruins to seek the Dragon-Suppressing Stone, a possible landmark. The mist eroded their protections and scrambled their senses, leaving Fang Chen unsure whether they had made any progress.

• Fang Chen and Lin Xiao surveyed the Chaos Mist Sea, and Lin Xiao explained that he had once survived it by chance and reached ruined palaces.
• Fang Chen consulted Immortal Emperor Yun Yi’s Jade Slip and identified the Dragon-Suppressing Stone as their first reference point.
• Fang Chen raised a protective barrier and led Lin Xiao, the Myna bird, the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm, and the Chaos Demon Star Vine into the mist.
• Fang Chen used the Floating Immortal Sword to absorb Chaos Mist and replenish the energy maintaining their barrier.
• After traveling for half an hour through the disorienting mist, Fang Chen stopped and worried that they might have been going in circles while Little Crane waited.

Fang Chen found the wreckage of the Dragon-Suppressing Stone and, after the Jade Box that had held the Tear of Time began glowing, chose to follow its signal into the more dangerous depths of the Chaos Mist Sea. He led Lin Xiao, Huahua, and Chi You onward through increasingly violent Law Turbulence.

• Fang Chen followed White Fox's sense of direction to the enormous, shattered Dragon-Suppressing Stone, where he and his companions paused to recover.
• Fang Chen sensed broken memories of the Ancient Heavenly Court's destruction in the wreckage but found no clear route ahead.
• The Jade Box in Lin Xiao's robes began glowing and pointed deeper into the Chaos Mist Sea, away from the safer route recorded in the Jade Slip.
• Lin Xiao said he could endure the chaotic erosion, and Fang Chen decided to follow the Jade Box's signal and Chi You's senses in search of the Tear of Time.
• Fang Chen raised the barrier and led Lin Xiao, Huahua, and Chi You into thicker mist, cutting through increasingly violent Fire, Ice, and Spatial Law fragments with the Floating Immortal Sword.

Fang Chen, Lin Xiao, and the Myna bird followed traces of the Time Law through the Chaos Void to the palace ruins where Lin Xiao had found a Tear of Time. They encountered an awakened Time Dragon Skeleton guarding several Tears of Time and raced toward the ruins after Fang Chen cut a path through its temporal attack.

• Lin Xiao, Fang Chen, and the Myna bird endured the Chaos Void until pale golden Time Law Fragments revealed a path to a region of ancient ruins.
• Lin Xiao identified the palace ruins where he had previously found a Tear of Time.
• A Time Dragon Skeleton emerged from the palace ruins, carrying several Tears of Time and unleashing chaotic Time Turbulence.
• Lin Xiao warned Fang Chen and the others that the skeleton's Flowing Time Breath could disrupt or erase them.
• Fang Chen used Sword Shatters Xinghe to cut through the breath's Law Structure, then swept Lin Xiao and the Myna bird through the opening toward the palace ruins.

Fang Chen entered the Undead Forbidden Domain with Lin Xiao and the myna bird, then used the Floating Immortal Sword and his Darkness Devouring God Domain to fight the undead. After slaying two powerful officials and comprehending a new finishing move, he charged into the thickest ranks of his foes.

• Fang Chen swept Lin Xiao and the myna bird into the ruined Palace, where they encountered a host of dangerous undead.
• Fang Chen transformed, expanded his Darkness Devouring God Domain, and destroyed the golden-armored skeleton as the domain drained the undead.
• Fang Chen absorbed the attacks of two undead officials near the Immortal Emperor threshold and killed them with one sword strike.
• Fang Chen gained a new insight by merging the Devouring God Imprint with his Sword Qi, making the undead hesitate.
• Fang Chen charged into the thickest ranks of the undead with the Floating Immortal Sword.

Fang Chen slaughtered the undead in the Palace Ruins and reached a sealed hall where time had nearly stopped. Using the Time Bell to enter, he discovered a sundial surrounded by treasures frozen in time and a recess shaped like a Tear of Time.

• Fang Chen unleashed Sword Shatters Xinghe: Swallowing Heaven and devoured the undead throughout the Palace Ruins, strengthening himself and his Darkness Devouring God Sword Domain.
• After the last undead fell, Fang Chen led Lin Xiao, Myna bird, and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm toward the Palace interior, where they sensed powerful time-slowing ripples.
• Fang Chen used the Time Bell to create a hundredfold Acceleration Domain and guided his companions through the frozen-time barrier.
• Fang Chen and his companions entered an enormous hall preserved in Flowing Time and saw a cracked sundial surrounded by crystal balls containing frozen treasures.
• Fang Chen's group found a Stone Platform with a recess shaped like a Tear of Time.

Fang Chen chose to enter the sealed depths despite Lin Xiao’s warning that time spent in the Secret Hall could cost them years in the outside world, because the Tears of Flowing Time might be the only way to save Little Crane. After descending a Spiral Staircase, the group reached a Crystal Cave and discovered a motionless pool containing a vast River of Time.

• Lin Xiao realized that time spent in the nearly stopped Secret Hall could cause many years to pass outside, and warned Fang Chen they might miss the Heaven-Extermination War and lose the people they knew.
• Fang Chen decided to continue through the side door, accepting the possible cost because Little Crane needed more Tears of Flowing Time.
• Fang Chen opened the side door and led the group down a Spiral Staircase lined with pulsing patterns of Flowing Time.
• After more than a month of their subjective time, Fang Chen and the others reached a Crystal Cave where drops of Flowing Time fell into a vast, perfectly still pool.
• Fang Chen sensed that the pool contained a River of Time whose different Time Flow Rates had been bound and balanced by a supreme Law.

Fang Chen and Lin Xiao discovered three powerful Flowing Time's Tears beside an ancient jade-like skeleton and its guarded treasures. As the skeleton struggled to keep an Outer Demon Seed from entering the Pool of Years, Fang Chen sent his companions into the Swallowing Heaven Tower and rushed toward the Tears.

• Lin Xiao recognized the Pool of Years, and Fang Chen spotted three Flowing Time's Tears, a jade-like skeleton, and three objects beside it.
• Fang Chen reached for the Tears, but a tentacle of condensed time shot from the pool and seized the Dark Red Crystal.
• The skeleton's lingering will awakened and used a Golden Chain to bind the tentacle and the crystal, warning that the Outer Demon Seed must not enter the Time Source Pool.
• Fang Chen took advantage of the stalemate, drew Lin Xiao, Myna bird, and the others into the Swallowing Heaven Tower, and charged toward the Pool of Years.
