Chapter Summaries

Li Yuan and Liu Bing escaped a shifting Spatial Sphere Realm by using his improved Eye of Heavenly Nether to find and open a spatial node. They reunited with Dongfang Ji, learned he had been lured there by a treasure map to Dominator Hall, and set out to escape before a deadly threat reached them.

• Li Yuan and Liu Bing discovered that the Spatial Vortices trapped them in a Spatial Sphere Realm, so Liu Bing piloted Cloud Light Boundary City while Li Yuan cultivated inside it.
• After nearly two months, Li Yuan cultivated the Eye of Heavenly Nether to the peak of the sixth rank, spotted a spatial node, and forced open a passage through an ultra-large Spatial Vortex.

• Li Yuan urged Dongfang Ji and Liu Bing to leave quickly, sensing that a deadly threat was closing in.

Li Yuan gave Dongfang Ji several gold-attributed Heavenly Artifacts, though Dongfang Ji refused the precious Golden Demon God Armor. As Li Yuan guided his companions through Spatial Sphere Realms toward safety, they encountered Xia Hao, who had become a Celestial God and attacked them for their treasures.

• Li Yuan offered Dongfang Ji the Golden Demon God Armor, but Dongfang Ji refused it to protect Li Yuan's cultivation resources.
• Dongfang Ji accepted several low-grade gold-attributed Heavenly Artifacts from Li Yuan.

• Xia Hao attacked Cloud Light Boundary City with a sword strike, but the city blocked most of its force.
• Xia Hao enlarged his hand to ten thousand li and brought it down on Cloud Light Boundary City.

Li Yuan and his companions escaped Celestial God Xia Hao, only to be cornered by thirty-six Indigenous Celestial Gods led by Celestial God Xuanyang. With Cloud Light Boundary City being overwhelmed, Li Yuan activated the Dao-Protecting Treasure and summoned Fire Phoenix, the God Emperor Island Guard Army’s serial number sixteen.

Li Yuan’s Fire Phoenix puppet shattered Celestial God Xuanyang’s battle formation, but a Cosmic Realm Holy Spirit intervened and brought Li Yuan to Dominator Hall. There, the Holy Spirit revealed that the Ancient Domain was a miniature cosmic realm created by the Heart Dream God Emperor, and explained the trials awaiting Li Yuan.

• Fire Phoenix broke free of Celestial God Xuanyang’s chains, defeated the Celestial God battle formation, and trapped its thirty-six members in her Fire Prison Realm.

Li Yuan learned that passing the Ancient Cosmic Realm trials would make him its commander and give him Celestial God subordinates, then saw relics from the previous cosmic realm and learned even Supreme God Emperors could perish with their realm. The Purple Giant Beast brought him to the first trial, where Li Yuan met the formidable puppet Lu Li, and advised him to reach the True God realm before fighting.

The Purple Giant Beast gave him rare cultivation materials and the soul-defense artifact Taiying, then summoned the Ancient Cosmic Realm’s Celestial Gods to meet their new successor.
