Chapter Summaries

Li Yun warned the Ancient Immortal Church Leader, the Primordial Immortal Lord, the Lord of Eternal Immortality, and Lord Haotian that the Three Great Planes were preparing a trap at the Eternal Immortal Domain’s borders. They discovered the secret Altars and attacked, triggering an unprecedented war between planes.

• Li Yun confronted the four leaders for conspiring against him and threatened them with the Plane Ancient Dao’s backlash.
• Li Yun told the four to inspect the Eternal Immortal Domain’s borders, then withdrew his presence.
• The Ancient Immortal Church Leader and the other three traveled to the borders and discovered Altars built through schemes by the Abyss, Ancient Gods, and Sacred Heaven.
• The four leaders mobilized their forces and attacked the border worlds converted into Altars.
• Great Dao Divine Lords from the three planes invaded, and a war between planes erupted along the Eternal Immortal Domain’s borders.

Li Yun advanced his Limitless Creation and Destruction Divine Image to the fifth rank and demonstrated his power by killing a Fifth-Rank Divine Image wielder from the Abyssal Plane. After a million years of war weakened the Eternal Immortal Domain and its four Plane Authority wielders, they pleaded with Li Yun to intervene.

• Li Yun realized the Altar worlds would unleash Baleful Intent upon the Plane Ancient Dao if their inhabitants perished, and concluded the Three Great Planes were targeting the four Ancient Immortal Church Masters who wielded Plane Authority.
• Li Yun ignored the war and cultivated until his Epoch Divine Power reached 100 epochs, completing his transformation into a Fifth-Rank Divine Image wielder.
• Li Yun sensed that his Divine Image was merging with his body and gaining a force beyond Epoch Divine Power that let him bring about creation-and-destruction cycles.
• Li Yun ambushed a Fifth-Rank Divine Image wielder from the Abyssal Plane, forced him into a Life-and-Death Tribulation, and consumed him after the tribulation ground him into Primordial Unity Qi.
• After a million years of fighting the Three Great Planes, the Ancient Immortal Church Master, the Primordial Immortal Lord, the Lord of Eternal Immortality, and Lord Haotian were badly weakened and begged Li Yun to help defend the Eternal Immortal Domain.

Li Yun answered the Ancient Immortal Church Masters’ plea by invoking his Plane Authority and making the Eternal Immortal Domain’s Plane Ancient Dao appear. Its power strengthened the domain’s Great Dao Divine Lords and wounded the invading forces, leaving the Eternal Immortal Domain poised to counterattack for three months.

• The four Ancient Immortal Church Masters begged Li Yun for help, and he mocked their past betrayal before dismissing the Plane Lord throne as a shackle.
• Li Yun entered the Void between planes and resonated with the Eternal Immortal Domain’s Plane Ancient Dao, causing it to appear across the domain.
• The Lord of the Abyss, the Lord of Sacred Heaven, and the Lord of the Ancient Gods ordered their forces to retreat, but black thunder struck and grievously wounded the invaders.
• Gold thunder empowered the Eternal Immortal Domain’s Great Dao Divine Lords, raising many Divine Images by one rank, while Li Yun warned the blessing would last only three months.
• The four Ancient Immortal Church Masters led the domain’s forces in a counterattack, and experts from the Three Great Planes fell in large numbers.

After their invasion of the Eternal Immortal Domain failed, the three Plane Lords discussed how to kill the unknown holder of its Plane Authority. The Lord of the Abyss proposed recruiting the Ancient Immortal Church Master and the other three figures who held portions of the authority, and the three Lords considered joining forces with them.

• The Three Great Planes suffered devastating losses, and their surviving forces returned home after the Eternal Immortal Domain’s Plane Authority turned the battle against them.
• The Lord of Sacred Heaven asked the Lord of the Abyss and the Lord of the Ancient Gods what they should do after their failed siege.
• The Lord of the Ancient Gods argued that the newly revealed holder of the Eternal Immortal Domain’s Plane Authority confirmed the threat behind the million phenomena.
• The Lord of the Abyss agreed that they needed to kill the authority’s holder, while the Lord of Sacred Heaven doubted they could reach someone sheltered inside the Eternal Immortal Domain.
• The Lord of the Abyss proposed approaching the Ancient Immortal Church Master, the Primordial Immortal Lord, the Lord of Eternal Immortality, and Lord Haotian, claiming they might also want the authority’s holder dead.

After the Eternal Immortal Domain defeated the Abyss, the Ancient Gods, and Sacred Heaven, Li Yun focused on cultivating in the Fifth-Rank Divine Image Realm and sought new sources of Primordial Unity Qi. Using his strengthened Plane Authority, he found several approaching Innate Secret Realms and quietly set out for the first to appear.

• The Eternal Immortal Domain celebrated its victory and hailed Li Yun as its future Plane Lord.
• The Ancient Immortal Church Master, the Primordial Immortal Lord, the Lord of Eternal Immortality, and Lord Haotian withdrew from public affairs after realizing they could not threaten Li Yun.
• Great Dao Divine Lords along the borders began raiding neighboring planes, while Li Yun ignored their actions.
• Li Yun found that the Myriad Gods Realm could support his cultivation only to the Fourth-Rank Divine Image Realm, so he sought other sources of Primordial Unity Qi.
• Li Yun used his strengthened Plane Authority to locate several Innate Secret Realms that were about to appear.
• Li Yun quietly set out for the first Innate Secret Realm due to appear.

Li Yun searched the Riverbank Star Domain for the mysterious Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin but could not locate it, even after drawing heavily on Plane Authority. His search drew four powerful rulers to him, who discovered his fifth-rank Divine Image and apparent Body-Image Unity, while Li Yun remained baffled by the missing coffin.

• Li Yun arrived in the Riverbank Star Domain and learned that an Innate Secret Realm would emerge in three days, drawing hundreds of Great Dao Divine Lords.
• Li Yun used Plane Authority to investigate the rumored Bronze Coffin pulled by nine ancient divine dragons, but could not find it.
• Li Yun increased his use of Plane Authority and searched outward through the Plane Ancient Dao, causing it to tremble.
• The Ancient Immortal Church Master, the Primordial Immortal Lord, the Lord of Eternal Immortality, and Lord Haotian followed the disturbance to Li Yun.
• The four rulers saw Li Yun’s fifth-rank Divine Image and suspected he had achieved Body-Image Unity.
• Li Yun opened his eyes and wondered aloud why he still could not find the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin.

Li Yun failed to find any trace of Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin and questioned the Ancient Immortal Church Master about it. The Church Master revealed the vast hierarchy of planes and the existence of Undying Ancient Gods, leaving Li Yun and the other lords stunned by the scale of power beyond their domain.

• Li Yun searched the Eternal Immortal Domain with his Plane Authority but found no trace of Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin.
• The Ancient Immortal Church Master and the other three lords arrived and paid their respects to Li Yun, who asked them about Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin.
• The Ancient Immortal Church Master recognized the name and explained that the Eternal Immortal Domain lay within the Dreadbound Sea of Realms, one of nine Seas of Realms ruled by the Ancient Cang Divine Court.
• The Ancient Immortal Church Master said the Eternal Immortal Domain ranked ninety-seventh among more than ten thousand planes, while the Ancient Era Plane ranked third and had beings beyond the First Grade Divine Image.
• The Ancient Immortal Church Master described Undying Ancient Gods as beings who could endure the Ominous Power, cross between planes, and shatter a Plane Ancient Dao.

The Ancient Immortal Church Master told Li Yun that Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin first appeared in the Ancient Era Plane, where even an Immortal Ancient God failed to stop it. He shared three leading rumors about its origins, beginning with the Dragon God Plane, the Origin Plane, and the Ancient Cang Divine Court.

• The Ancient Immortal Church Master explained that Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin first appeared in the Ancient Era Plane and later sparked a brief conflict with the Dragon God Plane.
• He said that powerful experts, including an Immortal Ancient God, had failed to intercept the coffin wherever it appeared.
• Li Yun asked whether anyone had uncovered clues, and the Ancient Immortal Church Master offered three widely circulated rumors.
• The Ancient Immortal Church Master said the first rumor linked the nine dragons and their coffin to the Dragon God Plane and its Ancestral Dragon, though the Dragon God Plane had denied it.
• The Ancient Immortal Church Master said the second rumor linked the coffin to the mysterious Origin Plane, which it had never visited.
• The Ancient Immortal Church Master began the third rumor, which claimed the coffin came from the Ancient Cang Divine Court and was part of an expert's patrol.

Li Yun left the discussion about Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin to investigate a newly appeared Innate Secret Realm. After the four Immortal Lords guarded its entrance and turned back hundreds of Great Dao Divine Lords, Li Yun invited everyone inside to explore its mysteries.

• The Ancient Immortal Church Master recounted the Ancient Cang Divine Court Guardian's cryptic words about Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, prompting the Immortal Lords to speculate about its meaning.
• Li Yun dismissed the speculation and left the Meteorite after sensing an Innate Secret Realm appear in the Riverbank Star Domain.
• Hundreds of Great Dao Divine Lords rushed toward the secret realm's vortex, but an invisible Light Curtain blocked them after Li Yun entered.
• The Ancient Immortal Church Master, the Primordial Immortal Lord, the Lord of Eternal Immortality, and Lord Haotian arrived and warned the crowd not to challenge Li Yun.
• Li Yun told the four Immortal Lords not to stop the others and invited everyone to enter the Innate Secret Realm.

The Ancient Immortal Church Master and hundreds of Great Dao Divine Lords entered an Ancient Battlefield inside the Innate Secret Realm, where ominous power trapped them and the Lord of Sacred Heaven revealed his ambush. With the exit gone and black mist spreading, the Ancient Immortal Church Master ordered everyone to search for another way back to the Eternal Immortal Domain.

• The Ancient Immortal Church Master found an Ancient Battlefield instead of the expected Primordial Unity Qi, and Li Yun said he could wield little Plane Authority there.
• The Ancient Immortal Church Master explained that Ancient Battlefields could drift across the Boundary Sea and carry the ominous power, alarming the Primordial Immortal Lord and the others.
• Eerie sounds and black mist spread across the battlefield, and the entrance to the Eternal Immortal Domain vanished, trapping the hundreds of Great Dao Divine Lords.
• The Lord of Sacred Heaven revealed that he had sent the ominous Ancient Battlefield into the Eternal Immortal Domain and lured them into his trap, then his incarnation disappeared.
• The Ancient Immortal Church Master urged everyone to search for another anchor point back to the Eternal Immortal Domain before the ominous power engulfed them.

Li Yun discovered that his past exposure to the Ominous Miasma let his Divine Consciousness drive it away, revealing Primordial Unity Qi hidden across the Ancient Battlefield. While he began harvesting it, the trapped Great Dao Divine Lords slowly rotted in the Black Mist, and one Nine-Rank Divine Image wielder died without anyone noticing.

• The Black Mist engulfed the Ancient Battlefield, sealing the trapped Great Dao Divine Lords’ senses and Divine Consciousness.
• Li Yun recognized the Ominous Miasma and found that it could not approach him within three feet.
• Li Yun spread his Divine Consciousness to three thousand meters, clearing the Miasma and dissolving nearby corpses, bones, and weapons into Primordial Unity Qi.
• Li Yun began harvesting the Primordial Unity Qi, unaware that the other Great Dao Divine Lords were being corroded in the darkness.
• After a month, one Nine-Rank Divine Image wielder awoke as his Divine Image rotted away, screamed, and dissolved into pus.

After benefiting from the Ancient Battlefield’s abundant Primordial Unity Qi, Li Yun realized the trapped Great Dao Divine Lords were missing and began searching for them. He found them dying from the Ominous Miasma, sent their True Spirits to reincarnate in the Myriad Gods Realm, and blamed the Lord of Sacred Heaven for their fate.

• Li Yun completed two cycles of Life and Death in three months, gaining two epochs’ worth of Divine Power from the Ancient Battlefield.
• Li Yun searched for the trapped Great Dao Divine Lords and found an Eighth-Rank Divine Image wielder whose body and half of his Divine Image had rotted away under the Ominous Miasma.
• Li Yun dispersed the miasma with his Divine Consciousness, then sent the dying man’s True Spirit to reincarnate in the Myriad Gods Realm after the man agreed.
• Li Yun found several more Great Dao Divine Lords in similarly ruined condition and sent their True Spirits to the Myriad Gods Realm for reincarnation.
• Li Yun realized the Ninth-Rank Divine Image wielders had not even preserved their Divine Images and vowed to make the Lord of Sacred Heaven pay.

After ten years in the Ancient Battlefield, Li Yun dispersed its Black Mist and ominous force, reached the Fourth-Rank Divine Image, and returned to the Eternal Immortal Domain. As the Three Great Planes prepared to invade, their rulers agreed to wait ten more years, unaware that Li Yun had returned.

• Li Yun found only forty-seven survivors in the Ancient Battlefield, and they agreed to have their True Spirits reincarnated in the Myriad Gods Realm.
• Li Yun spent ten years dispersing the Black Mist and ominous force, using the Ancient Battlefield's Primordial Unity Qi to complete Life and Death cycles and reach the Fourth-Rank Divine Image.
• The Ancient Battlefield crumbled after Li Yun exhausted its Primordial Unity Qi, returning him to the Eternal Immortal Domain far from the Riverbank Star Domain.
• Li Yun sensed that the Abyss, the Ancient Gods, and Sacred Heaven had gathered Great Dao Divine Lords at the border, while the Eternal Immortal Domain's defenders feared their leaders had died.
• The Lord of Sacred Heaven, the Lord of the Abyss, and the Lord of the Ancient Gods agreed to wait ten more years before invading and dividing the Eternal Immortal Domain.

Li Yun summoned six powerful Great Dao Divine Lords and planned to give them shallow shares of the Eternal Immortal Domain's Plane Authority. He intended to use their help to lure the Lords of the Abyss, the Ancient Gods, and Sacred Heaven into the domain and kill them.

• Li Yun decided he could only kill the three Plane Lords if they entered the Eternal Immortal Domain, and resolved to forge new wielders of Plane Authority.
• Li Yun summoned Lord Kongdao, Lord Qinglian, Lord Wuyou, Lord Haohuo, Lord Tiding, and Lord Qianjie from the border.
• The six Lords met Li Yun and were shaken by his Fourth-Rank Divine Image and its connection to the Plane Ancient Dao.
• Li Yun told the six that the Ancient Immortal Church Master, the Primordial Immortal Lord, the Lord of Eternal Immortality, and Lord Haotian had been tainted by Ominous Power and sent their True Spirits into reincarnation.
• Li Yun instructed the six to assault the Plane Ancient Dao with their Epoch Divine Power while he helped them seize shallow shares of Plane Authority, aiming to make them new wielders within three months.

Li Yun helped Lord Kongdao, Lord Qinglian, and four other Great Dao Divine Lords steal Plane Authority, then sent them back to the border to lure the three Plane Lords into the Eternal Immortal Domain. The Lord of Sacred Heaven suspected the six’s apparent fear was a trap and urged the others to wait.

• Li Yun offered to help Lord Kongdao, Lord Qinglian, and four others gain Plane Authority, and they swore their loyalty to him.
• Over three months, Li Yun helped all six steal Plane Authority and suppressed any signs that might alert the three Plane Lords.
• Li Yun ordered the six to conceal their new Authority and make sure none of the three Plane Lords escaped once they entered the Eternal Immortal Domain.
• Lord Kongdao and the others returned to the border acting frightened and cautiously withdrew their forces, leading the Lord of the Abyss and the Lord of the Ancient Gods to believe their allies had died in the Ancient Battlefield.
• The Lord of the Ancient Gods prepared to attack, but the Lord of Sacred Heaven warned that the six’s behavior might be bait and urged them to wait.

The Lord of Sacred Heaven and the other Plane Lords invaded the Eternal Immortal Domain, only to discover that Lord Kongdao and five others had baited them into a trap. Li Yun emerged with the Plane Ancient Dao’s power, weakened the invaders, and ordered the six defenders to kill them.

• The Lord of Sacred Heaven waited until the ten-year deadline approached, then sent the Great Dao Divine Lords of the Three Great Planes into the Eternal Immortal Domain.
• Lord Kongdao, Lord Qinglian, and four others resisted the invasion while Li Yun secretly used the Supreme Immortal Gate to absorb shattered worlds and strengthen the Myriad Gods Realm.
• After three years of devastating losses for the Eternal Immortal Domain, the Lord of the Abyss, the Lord of the Ancient Gods, and the Lord of Sacred Heaven crossed into the domain.
• Lord Kongdao, Lord Qinglian, and the other four revealed their Plane Authority and trapped the three Plane Lords in a vast Luo Tian net.
• Li Yun appeared by manifesting the Plane Ancient Dao, whose golden thunder strengthened the Eternal Immortal Domain’s forces while black thunder weakened the invaders.
• Li Yun ordered Lord Kongdao, Lord Qinglian, and the other four to attack, and they surrounded the three Plane Lords.

Li Yun slaughtered the invading Great Dao Divine Lords trapped in the Eternal Immortal Domain, absorbing their Primordial Unity Qi as his body and divine image grew increasingly unified. After thirty years, he unexpectedly achieved perfect Body-Image Unity and became an Undying Ancient God, realizing that this fusion—not raising his divine image to First Grade—was the true requirement for the breakthrough.

• Li Yun killed the Lord of the Abyss, the Lord of the Ancient Gods, and the Lord of Sacred Heaven, then sealed the Eternal Immortal Domain to prevent their forces from escaping.
• Li Yun hunted the Three Great Planes' trapped Great Dao Divine Lords and devoured them after grinding them into Primordial Unity Qi.
• Over thirty years, Li Yun's creation-and-destruction cycles steadily perfected the unity of his physical body and Great Dao Divine Image.
• After fewer than one hundred and fifty thousand enemies remained, Li Yun's body and divine image fused completely, and he suddenly became an Undying Ancient God.
• Li Yun reflected on his breakthrough and understood that perfect Body-Image Unity and the transformation of Epoch Divine Power into Undying Ancient God Power were the true requirements.

Li Yun realized that his new Undying Ancient God state made death—and further advancement—difficult, so he decided to leave the Eternal Immortal Domain in search of other Undying Ancient Gods. Before departing, he shared cultivation guidance with Lord Kongdao and the others, relinquished his Plane Authority, and left for the Boundary Sea Void.

• Li Yun spent a hundred years contemplating his Undying Ancient God state and concluded that he needed to experience Life and Death to advance, though his undying nature made that nearly impossible.
• Li Yun decided to leave the Eternal Immortal Domain and summoned Lord Kongdao, Lord Qinglian, Lord Wuyou, Lord Haohuo, Lord Tiding, and Lord Qianjie to Yun Shan Village.
• Li Yun told the six Lords that he had become an Undying Ancient God and advised them to pursue Body-Image Unity and develop their Divine Images beyond the limits they had assumed.
• Li Yun relinquished his Plane Authority over the Eternal Immortal Domain and departed through the Boundary Sea Void.

Li Yun entered a small plane and discovered that its Plane Ancient Dao was decaying as the plane neared the end of its epoch, allowing Ominous Miasma to seep inside. He stayed to observe the plane’s death and rebirth, and the miasma began spreading strange symptoms throughout it.

• After wandering the Boundary Sea for three million years without meeting another Undying Ancient God, Li Yun entered a plane he encountered along the way.
• Li Yun discovered that Ominous Power had breached the plane’s barrier and that its Plane Ancient Dao was gradually decaying.
• Li Yun realized the plane was nearing the end of its Plane Epoch and decided to stay to witness its destruction and rebirth.
• Li Yun settled in a small world and wondered whether Ominous Miasma was a sickness that afflicted aging planes.
• As the Plane Ancient Dao declined, Ominous Miasma spread faster and strange symptoms began appearing throughout the plane.

Li Yun watched Ominous Miasma consume a plane and realized the Boundary Sea might face its own catastrophic cycle of death. After a million years, he discovered Plane Source Energy in the remains of the plane, but a Burly Figure seized it and fled, leaving Li Yun furious as a beam of white light approached.

• Li Yun observed Ominous Miasma corrode the plane and reasoned that the Boundary Sea might have a greater sickness capable of killing even Undying Ancient Gods.
• Li Yun considered seeking that sickness so he could undergo another cycle of Life and Death and gain immunity to it.
• A million years later, Li Yun watched the plane collapse and found a cloud of purple qi containing Plane Source Energy and the promise of a new plane.
• Li Yun realized the purple qi represented life and saw a path to strengthening both life and death.
• A Burly Figure appeared, absorbed the Plane Source Energy, mocked Li Yun, and fled into the Boundary Sea.
• Li Yun cursed the Burly Figure for stealing his opportunity as a beam of white light shot toward him.
