Xu Yue emerged from seclusion and reunited with Ye Fan as representatives argued over how to divide the opportunities on the Immortal Ascension Path. When Fred of the Reincarnation Hall was mocked for his weakness, he revealed that their immortal formation could summon beings from the Immortal Domain.

• After an ancient clan Great Sage helped him recover, Fred announced that the Reincarnation Hall could summon beings from the Immortal Domain through its immortal formation, silencing the mockery.

Fred used Reincarnation Hall’s authority to offer human territory to powerful outsiders in exchange for their support, prompting Ye Fan and the Ji Family’s elder Great Saint to reject his claim to represent humanity.

Xu Yue proposed that Ye Fan and Fred settle their dispute in the battlefield beyond the domain, and both accepted the chance to fight.

• Experts gathered to observe and marveled at Fred’s immortal formation and Ye Fan’s power as a newly advanced Great Saint.

Fred used a Guardian Military Formation to empower an Ancient Emperor Weapon and overwhelm Ye Fan, while Saint Emperor Qilin waited for the right moment to intervene. After Yu Hua Tian disrupted that intervention, Ye Fan reassembled himself and fully absorbed the Sacred Medicine’s effects.

• Fred poured the Guardian Military Formation’s power into an Ancient Emperor Weapon and suppressed Ye Fan as onlookers kept the Ji Family’s old Great Sage and Gu Tianshu from intervening.
• Ye Fan endured the weapon’s pressure as the Sacred Medicine inside him began strengthening his body, and Saint Emperor Qilin realized the battle’s circumstances had been arranged by My King.
• When Fred’s charged strike shattered Ye Fan, Saint Emperor Qilin sent the Dragon Pattern Gold Cauldron to block the Ancient Emperor Weapon.
• Yu Hua Tian struck the cauldron with the Thirty-Three-Tier Emperor Tower, sending it away and leaving Ye Fan exposed to Fred’s follow-up attack.
• Ye Fan used the Zhe Zi Secret to reassemble himself, and the destruction and reconstruction allowed him to absorb the Sacred Medicine’s effects completely.

• Ye Fan tried to expel the Quasi-Emperor's Dao from his wound, while Fred worried that the gathering’s growing number of Quasi-Emperors had changed the balance of power.

The Forbidden Zone Supremes sensed that the Immortal Ascension Path offered their best chance to become immortal and considered the gathered powers a source of life essence if they failed. At the tense Myriad Races Grand Gathering, Azure Mist Saint Son confronted Yu Hua Tian and stunned him by releasing Emperor Lord’s daughter to serve tea.

• The Forbidden Zone Supremes recognized the Immortal Ascension Path’s summons and decided that the chance and the abundance of living beings outweighed the risks of emerging.

• Yu Hua Tian swallowed a healing spirit pill and brought the Eternal Blue Gold Tower down on Ye Fan.

Ye Fan endured Yu Hua Tian’s assault by consuming vast amounts of medicine, but Yu Hua Tian rallied powerful allies to attack him with Ancient Emperor Weapons.

• A golden-furred figure from the Archaic Forbidden Land punched the Eternal Blue Gold Tower apart and sent the Emperor Lord flying.
• Ye Fan felt his Sacred Blood respond to the figure and recognized him as a Great Accomplishment Sacred Body.

The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body drove off the attackers and exposed the overwhelming power of the Ancient Supremes, ending the siege and silencing the gathering. As the cultivators waited for the Immortal Ascension Path to open, Ye Fan began a terrifying quasi-emperor tribulation while Xu Yue prepared for a change in the ways of Shrouding the Heavens.

• The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body blasted the Emperor Lord and shattered the Eternal Blue Gold Tower, and Xu Yue identified him as a Great Accomplishment Sacred Body.

The Immortal Ascension Path opened with force that devastated the surrounding stars, while its immortal qi granted extraordinary benefits to the few who survived near it. Xu Yue revealed that he had widened the path but sealed its gate, leaving the Ruthless Emperor questioning what chance anyone had of entering.

• MacArthur delegated control of the Descent Military Formation to Fred, and Churchill offered to activate it if the benefits justified the cost.
• The Immortal Ascension Path burst open near the Archaic Forbidden Land, and its shockwave destroyed stars across the Star Domain while the Big Dipper Ancient Star endured.
• Saints and other survivors near the entrance gained lifespans and cultivation benefits from the immortal qi, though most who approached were killed by the opening's aftershock.
• The Ruthless Emperor watched the path open and asked Xu Yue why its scale differed from what she had deduced.
• Xu Yue said he was giving everyone a chance, and the Ruthless Emperor pointed out that he had widened the path but welded shut its gate.

The Immortal Ascension Path appeared, prompting the Forbidden Zone Supremes to emerge and restore their power for a final assault on the Immortal Domain. As the chapter ended, Supremes from several forbidden zones had awakened, heralding an unprecedented gathering of emperors.

• The Immortal Ascension Path connected the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands to the Immortal Domain, and the laws of heaven and earth revealed its arrival to powerful beings.
• The remains of past emperors fell from the path as the Forbidden Zone Supremes declared that the long-awaited opportunity had come.
• The Supremes began restoring their Dao fruits and peak combat strength, accepting that failure would likely leave them unable to survive or seal themselves again.
• The Longevity Heavenly Venerate emerged from the Immortal Mausoleum and used the Zhe Zi Secret to replenish his vital essence.
• The Stone Emperor rushed out of Undying Mountain, while the Lord of Reincarnation and the Carefree Heavenly Venerate emerged from Reincarnation Sea.

As the Forbidden Zone Supremes entered the Immortal Ascension Path, Fred prepared his group to seize any spoils left behind, while other cultivators weighed the dangers of following. The path remained guarded by deadly immortal-law spirits, but eager challengers gathered to force their way in.

• Fred realized the Supremes were far stronger than Quasi-Emperors and arranged for MacArthur and De Gaulle to guard their group’s gains while he and Churchill advanced.
• Churchill agreed to try for Emperor Weapon fragments and Great Emperor remains, but refused to use the Descent Military Formation without certainty.

• Cultivators who tried to follow were killed by the spirits that reformed behind the Supremes, including a Great Saint wielding a Quasi-Emperor Weapon.
• Fred recognized that entering the path would be far more dangerous than he had expected, while other cultivators rallied to attempt the crossing together.

Ye Fan learned that the Golden Sacred Body stayed behind to guard the Archaic Forbidden Land while the Supremes fought toward the Immortal Ascension Gate. The surviving Supremes reached the gate, but their combined attack could not move it, leaving immortal ascension seemingly impossible.

• Ye Fan asked the Golden Sacred Body whether immortality was possible, and he said the unprecedented Immortal Ascension Path might be breached.
• The Golden Sacred Body refused to enter because he had to remain as a barrier against the being inside the Archaic Forbidden Land, and warned Ye Fan to prepare for disaster if the path failed.

• Stone Emperor mocked those who had fought for future generations and joined the remaining Supremes in attacking the gate.
• The combined attack of more than a dozen Supremes vanished without affecting the Immortal Ascension Gate, plunging them into despair.

The Immortal Ascension Gate remained unyielding even to the Supremes’ strongest attack, leaving more than twenty Forbidden Zone Supremes unable to enter the Immortal Domain. They turned toward the living to replenish themselves, while the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body and awakened weapons stood against them as the Supremes scattered to attack across the universe.

• The Supremes unleashed their strongest collective strike on the Immortal Ascension Gate, but it did not move, crushing their hopes of entering the Immortal Domain.
• The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body warned the Great Sages and Quasi-Emperors that the Supremes would devour them, and they fled into the starry sky.

• The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body wielded two Imperial Weapons against one Supreme as the other Ancient Emperor Weapons united to attack another.
• More than twenty Supremes charged out of the Immortal Ascension Path and began slaughtering their way across the universe.

As the Supremes harvested life across the universe, the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body and Imperial Weapons fought Longevity Heavenly Venerate on the Immortal Ascension Path. Light-Dark Supreme captured Yu Hua Tian, who revealed that Yaoguang Holy Land was hiding in the Big Dipper, and Light-Dark Supreme headed there.

• The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body and two Imperial Weapons suppressed Longevity Heavenly Venerate while other Supremes hunted for life essence.
• The Sun Sacred Emperor protected Ziwei Ancient Star, and the Emperor Corpses' Quasi-Emperors defended Earth long enough to drive away attacking Supremes.
• Three Great Accomplishment Overlord Bodies confronted three Supremes, then accepted a life-devouring secret technique from the Lord of Reincarnation and joined the march of darkness.
• Light-Dark Supreme searched the Big Dipper ruins for concentrated life and seized Yu Hua Tian, the Divine Court's second-in-command.
• Yu Hua Tian revealed that Yaoguang Holy Land was hidden in the Big Dipper, and Light-Dark Supreme sensed its concealed Imperial Formation and went there.
