Li Yun awoke in the Endless Dark Abyss after Great Black Heaven's attack and found his Saint Power sealed. He met Saint Chu Emperor, who explained that no one could rescue those trapped beyond the reach of the Hengwu Domain's laws.

• Li Yun woke in a lightless cave and discovered dark Sealing Restrictions had sealed his Saint Power in all seven hundred and twenty Apertures.
• Li Yun found the Gate of Myriad Wonders intact but decided not to use it before learning more about the abyss.
• Li Yun called out for the Azure Nightmare Imperial Army, but Saint Chu Emperor answered and said Great Black Heaven had cast them into the Endless Dark Abyss.
• Saint Chu Emperor identified himself as a former Saint Emperor of West Mountain and told Li Yun that even a Supreme Sage could not reach the abyss without becoming darkness itself.

Li Yun learned from Saint Chu Emperor that the Endless Dark Abyss was a dark realm beyond the reach of heaven-and-earth rules, where outsiders faced death or transformation into darkness followers. After Saint Chu Emperor stopped answering, Li Yun activated the Gate of Myriad Wonders and discovered his Myriad Wonders Points had reached a trillion.

• Li Yun connected the Endless Dark Abyss to the Dark Abyss and Beast-Grazing Land he had survived, then resolved not to give up.
• Li Yun activated the Gate of Myriad Wonders and saw that his Myriad Wonders Points had reached a trillion.

Li Yun discovered that the Darkness Devouring Dao Seal had imprisoned his cultivation, and escaping the Endless Dark Abyss would cost too many Myriad Wonders Points. After the Gate of Myriad Wonders analyzed the seal, Li Yun learned its nature and realized it had a flaw.

• Li Yun saw that he had gained over thirty thousand trillion Myriad Wonders Points but found that dark runes had sealed his Apertures and Saint Power.
• Li Yun considered teleporting to the Chaos Heaven Cave Secret Realm, but the Gate of Myriad Wonders demanded fifteen thousand trillion points, so he decided to examine the seal first.
• The Gate of Myriad Wonders analyzed the seal while Li Yun waited in the Endless Dark Abyss and eventually slept through the silent days.
• Li Yun received the analysis and identified the seal as the Darkness Devouring Dao Seal, which used the Power of Darkness to seal everything and devour the Dao.
• Li Yun learned that the Darkness Devouring Dao Seal was not perfect and that the Gate of Myriad Wonders had found a flaw.

Li Yun reversed the Darkness Devouring Dao Seal long enough to restore his Saint Power, then secretly cultivated at five-hundred-thousandfold speed inside the Endless Dark Abyss. He reached the Peak Saint Venerable realm, and his Emperor Nature shadow rose to nine zhang.

• Li Yun studied the Darkness Devouring Dao Seal and used flaws revealed by the Gate of Myriad Wonders to create a secret art that reversed it.
• Li Yun restored the Saint Power sealed in his seven hundred and twenty Apertures but kept his recovery hidden from the Saint Chu Emperor.

• After twenty days of accelerated cultivation, Li Yun advanced the Heavenly Venerable Descends Scripture to its fortieth level and reached the Peak Saint Venerable realm.
• Li Yun sensed his Emperor Nature shadow rise to nine zhang tall.

Li Yun discovered that the Saint Chu Emperor was close to being assimilated by the darkness and used his restored power and a secret art to save him. The Saint Chu Emperor regained much of his cultivation but remained partly corrupted, and Li Yun demanded payment for the technique.

• Li Yun broke through the darkness around the Saint Chu Emperor and passed him the secret art for reversing the Dark Erosion Dao Seal.
• The Saint Chu Emperor used the art with Li Yun's help, restoring his cultivation and suppressing much of the darkness within him.
• Li Yun demanded something in return for the secret art, and the Saint Chu Emperor laughed and asked what he wanted.

Li Yun received Saint Venerable and Half-Emperor cultivation techniques from Saint Chu Emperor, but two Great Black Heaven Saint Emperors arrived before they could keep reversing the Darkness-Eroding Dao Restriction. The visitors tortured Li Yun and revealed that the Azure Nightmare Imperial Army had been captured and brought to the Endless Dark Abyss, leaving him desperate to find them.

• Saint Chu Emperor gave Li Yun dozens of ancient Jade Slips containing Saint Venerable and Half-Emperor cultivation techniques.
• Li Yun and Saint Chu Emperor sensed two approaching Saint Emperors and stopped reversing the Darkness-Eroding Dao Restriction to hide their ability to recover their cultivation.
• Two Great Black Heaven Saint Emperors arrived, checked Saint Chu Emperor, and found nothing suspicious.
• One Great Black Heaven Saint Emperor suspended Li Yun and whipped him while taunting him about his fate in the Endless Dark Abyss.
• The Great Black Heaven Saint Emperors told Li Yun that the Azure Nightmare Imperial Army had also been brought to the abyss, then left without saying where they were.

Li Yun and Saint Chu Emperor recovered by reversing the Darkness Devouring Dao Seal and resolved to escape the Endless Dark Abyss.

Li Yun cultivated his Emperor Nature to the ninety-nine-zhang limit but still failed to trigger the Gate of Myriad Wonders to derive an Emperor Scripture. Worried that either his foundation or the Gate was at fault, he plunged his consciousness into the Gate to investigate and was overwhelmed by torrents of Great Dao Information.

• The Saint Chu Emperor watched in shock as Li Yun's Emperor Nature Phantom grew to ninety-eight zhang while Li Yun continued cultivating.
• Li Yun mastered his remaining Saint Venerable Cultivation Techniques, raising his Emperor Nature Phantom to ninety-eight zhang and seven chi, but no Emperor Scripture appeared.
• Li Yun mastered his final Half-Emperor Cultivation Technique, and his Emperor Nature Phantom reached ninety-nine zhang, yet he remained unable to advance to Saint Emperor.
• Li Yun suspected his foundation was insufficient rather than the Gate of Myriad Wonders being faulty, and decided to study the Gate directly.
• Li Yun sent his consciousness into the Gate of Myriad Wonders and was struck by an immense torrent of Great Dao Information.

Li Yun endured the Gate of Myriad Wonders’ torrent of accumulated experiences and completed an incomplete forty-one-level Myriad Wonders Emperor Scripture, ascending to the Saint Emperor Realm. His Emperor Nature reached one hundred and eight zhang and forced back the darkness, giving the Saint Chu Emperor new hope of escaping the Endless Dark Abyss, while Li Yun turned to him for advice about a serious problem.

• Li Yun realized the Gate of Myriad Wonders had recorded his Martial Dao experiences, and his impatience had triggered its stored information before it was ready to erupt fully.

• Li Yun discovered that his incomplete Emperor Scripture contained forty-one levels as his Saint Power multiplied sixteenfold and his Emperor Nature grew to one hundred and eight zhang.
• The Saint Chu Emperor sensed Li Yun’s ascent to the Saint Emperor Realm and watched Li Yun’s Emperor Nature drive back the darkness in the Endless Dark Abyss.
• Li Yun said he needed to perfect and complete his Emperor Scripture, then asked the Saint Chu Emperor for advice about a serious problem.

Li Yun told the Saint Chu Emperor that he had become a Saint Emperor using his own incomplete Emperor Scripture and asked how to perfect it. Unable to contemplate the Great Dao or safely use another Emperor Scripture in the Endless Dark Abyss, Li Yun struggled with slow progress and dwindling Myriad Wonders Points before considering hunting Great Black Heaven Saint Emperors.

• Li Yun revealed that he had created the Emperor Scripture that let him advance to Saint Emperor, shocking the Saint Chu Emperor.
• The Saint Chu Emperor warned that the Endless Dark Abyss had no Great Dao to contemplate and that mixing another Emperor Scripture could contaminate or destroy Li Yun's Emperor Nature.
• Li Yun decided to keep cultivating the Myriad Wonders Emperor Scripture rather than give up or spend his Myriad Wonders Points to escape.
• After more than ten days of accelerated cultivation, Li Yun had advanced the forty-first level by only one percentage point and calculated that reaching perfection would cost far more points than he had left.
• Li Yun realized that he might hunt Great Black Heaven Saint Emperors in the Endless Dark Abyss.

Li Yun left the Darkness Cavern to explore the Endless Dark Abyss and scout the Great Black Heaven, leaving the Saint Chu Emperor behind to keep watch. After finding a patrol squad tormenting a bound Saint Emperor, Li Yun appeared above them, preparing to test how the Great Black Heaven would react.

• Li Yun told the Saint Chu Emperor he planned to explore alone and asked him to stay behind and warn him if the Great Black Heaven's people approached.

• Huang Yan asked Li Yun how he had kept his cultivation from being sealed in the Endless Dark Abyss.
• Li Yun explained that his Secret Art reversed the Darkness Devouring Dao Seal and offered to exchange it for an Emperor Scripture.

Li Yun traded a Secret Art that reversed the Darkness Devouring Dao Seal for an Emperor Scripture, then hunted Great Black Heaven’s Patrol Squads until their disappearance triggered a massive search. While lying low and cultivating, he discovered that the Gate of Myriad Wonders was absorbing the Power of Darkness and merging its profound mysteries.

• Li Yun taught Saint Emperor Huang Yan how to reverse the Darkness Devouring Dao Seal in exchange for an Emperor Scripture, restoring Huang Yan’s cultivation.
• Li Yun hunted down more than a dozen Patrol Squads, killed over a hundred Great Black Heaven Martial Artists, gained more than three hundred trillion Myriad Wonders Points, and traded with another trapped Saint Emperor for a second Emperor Scripture.

• Li Yun kept a low profile and cultivated the Myriad Wonders Emperor Scripture, discovering that the Gate of Myriad Wonders was absorbing the Power of Darkness and merging its mysteries.

Li Yun discovered that the Gate of Myriad Wonders could absorb the Power of Darkness without harming him, then investigated Great Black Heaven’s guarded patrols in the Endless Dark Abyss. He found a vast city and watched a Holy Son and Holy Maiden arrive, leaving him wondering who they were.

• Li Yun realized the Darkness Profundity had strengthened the Gate of Myriad Wonders and decided to seek more Myriad Wonders Points.
• Li Yun spotted stronger Great Black Heaven patrols and detected Saint Emperors secretly watching them, so he held back from attacking.
• Li Yun continued scouting and discovered an enormous city on a plain beyond a mountain forest.
• Great Black Heaven Saint Emperors gathered at the city gates to welcome a carriage accompanied by Great Black Heaven and Blood God Cult Saint Emperors.
• A young man identified as the Holy Son helped a beautiful young woman out of the carriage, and the Saint Emperors welcomed her as the Holy Maiden before they entered the city.
