Chapter Summaries

Dream Ancestor and Crimson Emperor faced a crowd of Immortal-grade experts seeking the Dreamscape Heavenly Scripture, while Niu Li and Ghost Old Five repeatedly turned on each other. An Yuan stopped Niu Li with Buddhist power, but Dream Ancestor’s magic redirected his attack toward Ghost Old Five again.

• Niu Li demanded the Dreamscape Heavenly Scripture from Dream Ancestor, then fought Ghost Old Five after being insulted.
• The other experts restrained Niu Li and Ghost Old Five, persuading them to pause their fight and target Dream Ancestor together.
• Niu Li suddenly attacked Ghost Old Five, but An Yuan intervened and used Buddhist power to free Ghost Old Five and pull Niu Li from Dream Ancestor’s dream.
• Dream Ancestor slapped Niu Li after he blamed her for the dream, and he charged at her again.
• Dream Ancestor sent a rune into Niu Li, redirecting his Wolf Fang Club toward the wounded Ghost Old Five.

Dream Ancestor and Crimson Emperor trapped and killed An Yuan’s coalition of Immortal Grade powerhouses, then fled as more enemies arrived. Wang Xian altered a Sarira’s recorded image, which later implicated the Buddha Clan in the slaughter and turned the gathered races against them.

• Ghost Old Five reformed after Niu Li struck him, while Dream Ancestor explained that she had only caused Niu Li a brief cognitive error and promised to teach Crimson Emperor the technique.
• An Yuan rallied more than a dozen Immortal Grade powerhouses to capture Dream Ancestor, but she fled with Crimson Emperor and used the terrain and a formation to set an ambush.
• Crimson Emperor’s flames trapped and burned the pursuing powerhouses, while Dream Ancestor spared An Yuan long enough to seal him with the Dreamscape Heavenly Scripture; Crimson Emperor then killed the others.
• Dream Ancestor and Crimson Emperor fled as more powerhouses approached, and Wang Xian erased the consciousness in a Sarira and planted a false image before returning it to the void.
• The Sarira revealed a fabricated scene of An Yuan killing the other races’ powerhouses and a giant hand killing An Yuan, prompting the gathered races to accuse the Buddha Clan.

An Ming led the Buddha Clan powerhouses in pursuing An Yuan’s killer, but the trail led into the Buddha Domain and threatened to expose the clan’s secrets. After the Buddha Lord killed the witnesses, an Imprint Stone revealed the massacre, and the allied races surrounded the Buddha Domain as Dream Ancestor and Wang Xian kept the truth concealed.

• An Ming agreed to compensate the other races with Buddha Heart Fruit, and they negotiated a payment of three fruits for each dead powerhouse.
• An Ming used a golden lamp and An Yuan’s Sarira to track the killer, but the golden light led into the Buddha Domain, causing the other races to suspect a trap.
• An Ming and the other Buddha Clan powerhouses tried to detain the witnesses, but the Buddha Lord’s giant golden hand crushed the Immortal-level powerhouses from the other races.
• A hidden figure recorded the massacre on an Imprint Stone, and reports accused the Buddha Clan of killing Dream Ancestor and covering up its crimes.
• Dream Ancestor realized Wang Xian had spread the accusation, canceled her welcoming feast, and sealed the Dao Domain while the Buddha Clan scrambled to contain the fallout.
• The races whose powerhouses had been killed formed an alliance and surrounded the Buddha Domain with their armies.

The Buddha Lord faced an alliance of races demanding the Heavenly Scripture, but their mistrust dissolved the siege before they entered the Buddha Domain. The Emperor Path then opened, and Wang Xian learned it was a trial that could let its victor become a true Emperor Realm expert.

• The Starry Sky Visitors’ pills raised the Immortal Grade populations across the Immortal Great Universe, while several races suspected the visitors had a hidden scheme.
• The Fire Gold Race patriarch and other leaders confronted the Buddha Lord, demanding the Heavenly Scripture and threatening to destroy the Buddha Clan.
• The Buddha Lord agreed to let the races search the Buddha Domain, but none dared enter first, and the alliance collapsed as the races departed.
• The Emperor Path opened, prompting the Buddha Lord to send his Quasi-Emperor Realm clansmen toward it.
• Wang Xian returned to the Dao Clan, where the Yin Yang Dao Ancestor and Five Elements Dao Ancestor explained that the Emperor Path was a trial that could lead to the Emperor Realm.

Wang Xian learned that the Emperor Path was on Blue Star and that Night Ancestor had warned him not to enter its Final Trial. After returning to Blue Star, Wang Xian investigated the growing Abyss and realized the sleeping creature was far beyond his ability to control.

• Yin Yang Dao Ancestor told Wang Xian that Night Ancestor had recovered lost memories, once half-stepped into the Forbidden Grade, and warned him against entering the Emperor Path’s Final Trial.
• Wang Xian learned that the Emperor Path was located on Blue Star, promised not to pursue its Final Trial or become an Emperor, and returned to Blue Star with Di Yao and Crimson Emperor.
• Crimson Emperor sensed that something was strange about Blue Star, and Wang Xian went to inspect the Eye of the Abyss.
• Wang Xian found that Abyss had grown more than tenfold and was now larger than Blue Star, leaving him convinced he could not deal with it.

Wang Xian prepared Di Yao to claim the Emperor’s throne as the Emperor Path opened on Blue Star, while the Crimson Emperor revealed her fear of the Demon Emperor. The chapter ended as powerful visitors, including the Demon Emperor and a host of undead from the Nether Great Universe, descended through spatial passages.

• Wang Xian abandoned his attempt to explore the depths of the Innate Stone mine and asked Di Yao whether she wanted to become an Emperor; she agreed, and he promised to help her claim the throne.
• The Immortal Great Universe’s races and the Starry Sky Visitors clashed over pills that had helped the races’ strongest experts advance beyond the Emperor Path’s entry limit, then negotiated compensation.
• More than ten thousand peak Mortal Immortal Grade experts from the Chaos Sea attacked a major race, but hundreds of thousands of experts from the Immortal Great Universe surrounded them and killed all but fewer than a thousand.
• When the Emperor Path opened on Blue Star, over a million Immortal Grade experts entered with their younger fighters, while the Starry Sky Visitors waited outside before approaching.
• The Crimson Emperor recognized the Demon Emperor among those arriving through newly formed spatial passages and explained the Demon Emperor Sacrifice that had made her fear being chosen as an offering.
• Wang Xian saw countless undead emerge from one passage and realized it connected to the Nether Great Universe.

Spatial passages opened across the Immortal Great Universe, and Wang Xian killed the Demon Emperor with a Space Arrow after he attacked Crimson Emperor. As visitors searched Blue Star for the Emperor Path, their representatives asked Wang Xian about it, but his answer was interrupted when Blue Star shook and a pillar of light appeared.

• Wang Xian destroyed the Demon Emperor’s attack on Crimson Emperor and shot an arrow that blew apart the Demon Emperor’s head, though he said the Demon Emperor was not dead.
• Wang Xian let visitors from other universes enter Blue Star, but dozens of his Chaos Demon God Avatars died as soon as they entered the spatial passages.
• After several million experts searched Blue Star for three days without finding the Emperor Path, five representatives climbed Mount Tai to ask Wang Xian about it.
• Jiang Mengmeng brought the representatives to Wang Xian, who told them the Emperor Path was not on Mount Tai.
• Blue Star began shaking violently, and a pillar of light appeared as Wang Xian was about to say he did not know where the Emperor Path was.

Wang Xian brought his companions to the Myriad Ancient Auction House before the Emperor Path opened to obtain a mysterious ice crystal. He won it with a vast bid of Azure Jade Gold, while the other bidder withdrew.

• Wang Xian and his companions traveled to the Emperor Path, where they entered the Myriad Ancient Auction House after its elder Lin Wu recognized him.
• Lin Wu showed Wang Xian's group the auction house's Immortal Grade private room and explained the upcoming auction.
• The auction began, and an Other Universe Visitor from the Spirit Sword Clan won the Immortal Grade longsword Cold Moon with a Spirit Sword Heart.
• The auctioneer presented an ice crystal that had frozen Void Turbulence, and Wang Xian began bidding for it.
• Wang Xian outbid a black-robed Other Universe Visitor with one hundred thousand jin of Azure Jade Gold and won the ice crystal.

Wang Xian learned why the Myriad Ancient Auction House needed his backing, then recognized Su Jin’s aura in a young Foxfolk woman and followed her through a teleportation formation. He discovered a special rune inside the star core she had bought, while her connection to Su Jin remained unknown.

• Lin Wu told Wang Xian that the auction house’s managers were trapped in Time-Space Turbulence and that the elders’ True Spirits and souls were tied to the lost small world.
• Wang Xian offered to resolve the elders’ restraints, but Lin Wu hesitated as Wang Xian turned his attention to an unusual star core at auction.
• A young Foxfolk woman bid two star cores for the star core on offer, and Wang Xian recognized Su Jin’s aura in her bloodline.
• Wang Xian and Di Yao decided to follow the young woman rather than capture her, hoping to find Su Jin and learn what had happened.
• Wang Xian transformed into a Void Beast and attacked the young woman’s guards, then let them destroy his body so the young woman would store his head and carry him through the teleportation formation.
• Inside her storage artifact, Wang Xian entered the star core and found a special rune recorded in the Heavenly Scripture of “Stars.”

Wang Xian inscribed the rune from the Star Core into his body, then hid as the Ancient Clan’s Ancient Ancestor tested its Purification power against the bloodline evolving toward Su Jin’s. He followed the Ancient Ancestor to Su Jin and learned the clan believed the rune could free them from her bloodline suppression.

• Wang Xian inscribed the Star Core’s rune, gaining stronger amplification and a Purification ability, then transformed into the rune when the girl retrieved the Star Core.
• The girl asked the Ancient Ancestor to let her punish Su Jin, but the Ancient Ancestor insisted on testing whether the rune could resolve the clan’s bloodline problem first.
• Wang Xian used Purification to remove most of the Ancient Ancestor’s evolving bloodline, but repeated use only reduced the remaining bloodline rather than eliminating it.
• The Ancient Ancestor went to see Su Jin, who taunted her until she grabbed and threw Su Jin against an Immortal Gold wall.
• Su Jin triggered bloodline backlash among the clan members carrying her bloodline, and the Ancient Ancestor revealed the Star Core and claimed its rune could solve the problem, leaving Su Jin stunned by the aura she sensed from it.

Wang Xian escaped from the star core and found Su Jin, who had endured abuse from the Gu Family's Ancient Ancestor. After reuniting, he comforted Su Jin and asked what had happened to her and where Nangong Wu, Cheng Yao, Xuan Ming, and the others had gone.

• The Ancient Ancestor threatened and injured Su Jin, then tried to purify the Gu Clan's bloodlines with the star core's rune, which worked only one person at a time.
• The Ancient Ancestor left Rong'er in charge of the star core while she went to speak with Su Jin, and the Gu Clan's descendants suffered bloodline backlash.
• Wang Xian secretly left the star core after confirming there were no powerful experts nearby, but Rong'er later discovered the rune had vanished.
• The Ancient Ancestor blamed Tong Ying for replacing the original rune and left the Gu Clan to confront her.
• Wang Xian found Su Jin, who clung to him and wept before falling asleep in his arms.
• After Su Jin woke, Wang Xian comforted her and asked about her capture and the whereabouts of Nangong Wu, Cheng Yao, Xuan Ming, and the others.

Wang Xian found Su Jin and learned that their companions had been taken by powerful beings after entering Beyond the Mortal World. He prepared to flee the Gu Family but instead stripped its medicinal garden and rigged it to appear destroyed, leaving the returning Gu Family experts demanding answers.

• Su Jin told Wang Xian that Nangong Wu, Cheng Yao, Xuan Ming, Xuan Yue, and others had been seized, while the Main God had taken Long Aotian, Qin Zheng, Feng Luoli, and the rest.
• Wang Xian decided he could not yet rescue the others or safely attack the Gu Family, so he searched its estate for a treasure vault.
• Wang Xian found the medicinal garden, brought out Di Yao, the Crimson Emperor, Su Jin, and members of the Heavenly Demon Dynasty and Yaochi, and had them take all the herbs and soil.
• Su Jin identified the lone central herb as one of the treasures brought from Beyond the Mortal World, which had previously been stolen from them.
• Wang Xian filled the emptied garden with filthy seabed mud, concealed it with arrays, and set off a planted bomb before escaping.
• Gu Family experts discovered the ruined garden, summoned their ancestor, and questioned the two guards, who claimed they knew nothing.

After Wang Xian’s plan devastated the Gu Family, he and Su Jin escaped through the chaos and captured a young Star Beast. They reached the guarded teleportation formation to the Immortal Great Universe and waited for a chance to slip through.

• The Gu Family Ancient Ancestor discovered that the medicinal garden’s destruction had been deliberately arranged, but an underground blast then destroyed it and spread filthy matter throughout the Gu Family.
• Su Jin used her bloodline secret art to prevent affected Gu Family members from cleansing the contamination, causing many to weaken and mutate grotesquely.
• Wang Xian and Su Jin left the Gu Family through the Space Layer and spotted Mortal Immortal Grade pursuers chasing a fluffy white Star Beast.
• Wang Xian pulled the Star Beast into the Space Layer, where it took an immediate liking to him and Su Jin.
• Wang Xian and Su Jin reached the teleportation formation for the Immortal Great Universe, and Wang Xian hid nearby to wait for its activation.

Wang Xian returned from the Primal Starry Sky and learned that the Emperor Path had opened, then entered it with Di Yao, Su Jin, and the Crimson Emperor. Xiao Jiu led them to the first checkpoint, where Wa Palace awaited, while she revealed that the Primordial World’s great powers were battling Darkness in an ancient city.

• Wang Xian secretly attached himself to a Tong Family cultivator traveling to the Immortal Great Universe and discovered an original rune within a young woman.
• Wang Xian reunited with Di Yao, Su Jin, and the Crimson Emperor, then learned that the Emperor Path had opened three days earlier.
• Wang Xian brought the three women into the Primordial World dungeon, where Xiao Jiu arrived to guide them toward Wa Palace.
• Xiao Jiu explained that the Primordial World’s great powers had gathered in an ancient city to resist Darkness and that the Emperor Path led there.
• Wang Xian followed Xiao Jiu for nearly a day and night until they reached the first checkpoint of the Emperor Path, where she said they would see Wa Palace.

Wang Xian entered Emperor Pass, killed a black-winged youth and his attackers, and brought Xiao Jiu to Wa Palace, where she chose Di Yao as her prospective master. Nüwa was away fighting the darkness, so Wang Xian waited in the pass; after half a month, he told Di Yao that he had found opponents who made him feel pressured.

• Xiao Jiu explained Emperor Pass's flight restrictions, and Wang Xian tested his Di Long Wings before landing under the pass's pressure.
• Wang Xian seized and killed a black-winged youth who threatened to devour Humans, then crushed the youth's attacking kin with a giant palm.
• Xiao Jiu asked Wang Xian to take her as a mount or disciple, and he helped her choose Di Yao as her prospective master, pending Nüwa's approval.
• Wang Xian and the others reached Wa Palace, but Xiao Jiu discovered that Nüwa had left to hold back the darkness.
• Wang Xian waited half a month as players gathered in Emperor Pass, then told Di Yao he had encountered opponents who made him feel pressured.

Wang Xian and the others discovered that players corrupted by 'Darkness' were hiding in Emperor Pass, but one killed his Chaos Demon God Avatar when it approached. Wang Mo arrived and proposed that they wait until the corrupted players grew more numerous before acting, and Wang Xian agreed.

• Wang Xian, Di Yao, and Su Jin received the Pursuit quest and realized its targets might be players corrupted by 'Darkness.'
• Little Phoenix explained that 'Darkness'-corrupted beings became bloodthirsty and lost their sanity after three or four days without flesh and blood.
• Wang Xian organized a search with his allies, and Su Jin, Feng Gan, Jiang Yue, and Crimson Emperor discovered corrupted players swallowing their victims and crouching motionlessly in dark corners.
• Wang Xian sent a Chaos Demon God Avatar toward one of the crouching players, but the avatar died as soon as it entered the shadows, so he ordered everyone to retreat to Wa Palace.
• Wang Mo approached Wang Xian and proposed waiting until more beings corrupted by 'Darkness' appeared before attacking them, and Wang Xian agreed to cooperate.

Wang Xian attacked a player corrupted by “Darkness” at dawn, but the player’s black bones triggered a spreading demonic madness among a group of blue-scaled women. The women fled the Emperor Pass, and Wang Xian identified them as creatures corrupted by “Darkness.”

• Wang Xian sent his Chaos Demon God Avatars after three corrupted players and took Di Yao, Su Jin, Crimson Emperor, and Jiang Mengmeng to attack another at dawn.
• Wang Xian stabbed and decapitated the corrupted player, but its head survived and fled until a blue-scaled young man froze it with a beam from the scale on his brow.
• Wang Xian smashed the frozen head, splattering its fragments over the young man, and then withdrew with his companions after sensing danger.
• After Su Jin released the young man from her starlight restraint, he went mad and attacked a blue-scaled woman, while another woman who had cut her finger on a black bone also became crazed and spread the condition by biting.
• The blue-scaled women fought their maddened companions and fled the Emperor Pass with the young man, and Wang Xian declared them creatures corrupted by “Darkness.”

Wang Xian exposed a mad Quasi-Emperor Realm youth as possibly corrupted by Darkness, triggering a rush to capture him and a slaughter of his Moon God Lake protectors. The factions agreed to decide who could kill the youth through Battle Stage fights, and Di Yao entered to win the treasures while Wang Mo confronted Wang Xian again.

• Wang Xian announced that the youth being escorted out of Emperor Pass was corrupted by Darkness, drawing thousands of players to surround them.
• After learning the women came from Moon God Lake, the players hesitated, but several hundred peak Mortal Immortal Grade protectors attacked and killed the women before restraining the youth.
• The gathered factions argued over who should kill the youth, then agreed that their prodigies would fight on the Battle Stage for the right and the contributed treasures.
• Wang Xian coveted the treasures, and Di Yao registered for the Battle Stage battles under the name of Yaochi Holy Land.
• Wang Mo confronted Wang Xian and accused him of being untrustworthy, while Su Jin urged Wang Xian to join forces against him.

Wang Xian warned players about the creatures corrupted by Darkness and watched one of them kill a young man at night. After the attacker revealed itself as an unusual skeleton, Wang Xian captured it and brought it to Wa Palace for examination, where it reacted to his touch with an unexpected protest.

• Wang Xian revealed that the Darkness Crystal activated the mission reward and asked his companions to warn players about the remaining corrupted creatures.
• Many players gathered near the creatures, but some withdrew after sensing danger; a black-robed attacker hurled a young man toward a creature, and the young man vanished.
• The black-robed attacker revealed itself as a powerful skeleton and killed four of the young man's protectors before the remaining two escaped.
• Wang Xian and his companions noticed the skeleton carried an unusual aura of light and holiness and decided to capture it for study.
• As the skeleton tried to escape through a Space Rift, Wang Xian snatched it with a sack and brought it to Wa Palace.
• Wang Xian began examining the skeleton, which crossed its arms and protested that men and women should not touch.

Wang Xian interrogated a strange little skeleton who claimed to be the seventh Great Emperor and had escaped the Death Realm, where Inspectors were hunting her. After the skeleton injured him by biting through his defense, her flesh began regenerating, leaving everyone wondering whether his blood had triggered it.

• Wang Xian teased and questioned the little skeleton, who claimed she was the seventh Great Emperor and warned that the Death Realm's Inspectors were hunting her.
• The little skeleton bit Wang Xian hard enough to draw blood and cracked Wa Palace's wall when he flung her away, convincing him she might truly be the former Empress.
• Wang Xian and the others discovered that the little skeleton had grown a pink tongue and that flesh was spreading from her mouth across her body.
• Crimson Emperor suggested that Wang Xian's blood had caused the little skeleton's flesh to regenerate.
• When Wang Xian suspected the little skeleton wanted to drink his blood again, she burst into tears and accused him of bullying a child.
