Chapter Summaries

After leaving the Primordial Wilderness through the Well of Ten Thousand Worlds, Lu Chen and Lu Pan fought their way through the deadly Chaos Tunnel toward the Boundless Realm. Just as they neared its coordinates, a Void Taotie tore open the tunnel and fixed its hungry gaze on them.

• Pan Tian watched the wellhead vanish and prayed for the Pan Clan bloodline and its heir.
• Lu Chen and Lu Pan entered the Chaos Tunnel, where Lu Chen relied on his body and the Chaos Dao Canon to withstand its spatial turbulence.

• Lu Chen recognized the Void Taotie as a fearsome Chaos beast as it locked its gaze on him and Lu Pan.

Lu Chen and Lu Pan fought the Void Taotie as it attacked them inside the collapsing tunnel. Lu Pan wounded the beast with the Sky-Opening Axe Fragment, but the Taotie broke into the tunnel, injured Lu Chen, and continued its relentless assault.

• The Void Taotie unleashed its devouring power and dragged Lu Chen and Lu Pan toward its maw, but Lu Chen used the Chaos Dao Canon's Suppress power to hold them in place.
• Lu Pan struck the Taotie's black-hole teeth with the Sky-Opening Axe Fragment, cracking them and drawing silver-gray blood.

• The wounded Taotie continued attacking from shifting angles with its claw, tail, and corrosive void breath.

Lu Chen and Lu Pan fought the Void Taotie in a collapsing tunnel, but its Void Burial attack overwhelmed their defenses. Lu Pan hurled Lu Chen at the beast, and Lu Chen combined the power of Tribulation, the Primordial Dao Source Marrow, and the four Chaos Supreme Treasures to form the Eternal Gui Xu Seal.

• Lu Chen used his runes and Eye of Gui Xu while Lu Pan attacked Taotie's spatial techniques, and all three suffered severe wounds.

• Lu Chen awakened the Tribulation rune and drew on the Primordial Dao Source Marrow to fuse conflicting powers.
• Lu Chen formed the Eternal Gui Xu Seal as he charged into Taotie's black-hole mouth.

Lu Chen killed the Void Taotie with the Eternal Gui Xu Seal but was left gravely injured, while Lu Pan suffered backlash holding the space in place. Before they could recover, an immense claw reached through the shattered tunnel as an overwhelming cosmic presence froze everything.

• As Lu Chen relaxed after the apparent victory, an immense force froze the tunnel, its debris, and everyone within it.
• Space above the tunnel shattered, and a colossal claw reached through the crack.

Lu Chen and Lu Pan faced the Dao Master's Sword Servant after killing a young Void Taotie, and the servant attacked them to avenge its master's mount's youngling. Lu Pan shielded Lu Chen with the Sky-Opening Axe Fragment, but the clash left him gravely wounded as the Chaos Tunnel began to collapse.

Lu Chen and Lu Pan faced annihilation from a Saint’s attack, while Lu Xiao sacrificed the Nine Heavens Soil to summon Nuwa for help. Just as the Saint’s next strike was about to destroy the brothers, the chaos void opened beside them.

• Lu Pan used a fragment of the Sky-Opening Axe to block the Saint’s first attack and shield Lu Chen, suffering devastating injuries.

• As the Saint’s attack neared Lu Chen and Lu Pan, the chaos void beside them unfurled like a scroll.

Empress Nuwa arrived in Chaos and confronted the Dao Master's Sword Servant to protect Lu Chen and Lu Pan. She halted its sword assault with Heavenly Dao merit, but it transformed the attack into nine world-destroying Sword Pillars aimed at her.

• Nuwa appeared through the Mountain and River Diagram and used its power of creation to oppose the Sword Servant's destructive Saintly Might.
• The collision of their powers sent Lu Chen and the unconscious Lu Pan flying, leaving Lu Chen further injured and his Seed of the Everlasting Tribulation Seal destroyed.
• The Sword Servant attacked Nuwa with a vast ocean of destructive sword intent, and she stopped it with her Word is Law and the merit power of the Heavenly Dao.
• The Sword Servant reshaped the sword ocean into nine powerful Sword Pillars and sent them toward Nuwa from multiple angles.

Nuwa and the Dao Master's Sword Servant fought a destructive battle in Chaos, while Lu Chen and Lu Xiao watched from the edge of the Mountain and River Diagram.
