Li Ze revealed the history of the North Prison Lord identity to the Human Race powerhouses and offered Water Stab to Chaos City Lord. While traveling through Wave Moon Forest, he discovered a mysterious tower that recognized him as eligible for an inheritance and teleported his Human Main Body away after he accepted.

• Li Ze explained that Mountain Lord created the North Prison Lord identity, Emperor Yan used it next, and Li Ze inherited it after killing Emperor Yan.

Li Ze passed the Glazed Giant Tower’s Will trial, broke through to Universe Strongest Will, and learned that the tower held an Illusory Void Sect inheritance. He met the inheritance’s guardian on Illusory Peak, who offered him a Dao Inheritor Disciple path that would mean death if he failed, and awaited his choice.

• The young man explained the Myriad Mountain Alliance’s decline and warned Li Ze that attempting the Illusory Void Sect’s Dao Inheritance would leave him no retreat and bring death if he failed.

Li Ze accepted the Illusory Void Sect inheritance after Ling Yun explained the Myriad Mountain Alliance’s history and the war that destroyed it. Ling Yun began the first of three trials, sending Li Ze into a dark trial ground.

• Ling Yun opened the trial ground and sent Li Ze down the stairs to begin the first of three inheritance trials.

After the opponent strengthened himself with a Divine Power Burning Secret Art, Li Ze used his World Tree Clone and Destruction Origin Point to destroy him, then was teleported to the peak.

• Ling Yun of Illusory Void watched Li Ze enter the first trial and doubted that he could defeat its golden-armored opponent.
• Li Ze countered the opponent’s golden domain and matched his initial attacks, surprising both the opponent and Ling Yun with his strength and Life Secret Technique.

While Li Ze worked toward solving the puzzles, True Lord Huochong arrived at Illusory Peak to search for him and claim the Water Stab.

• Ling Yun of Illusory Void offered Li Ze the chance to become a Personal Disciple, but Li Ze chose to continue the trial despite the risk of death.

• Second True Lord, Seventh True Lord, and Fourth Demon Lord entered the tower, while Second Demon Lord stayed outside.

• Li Ze agreed to begin the final trial, and the Spirit of Cheng Dao Hall revealed that it tested the Path of the Soul and that failure meant death for all his avatars.

Li Ze received the Illusory Void Sect’s basic Path of the Soul inheritance and studied five lotus flowers left by the Sixth Generation Sect Master. He created a Top Tier Fifth Order Soul Annihilation technique called Saint’s Radiance, but the trial required a Top Tier Sixth Order technique, leaving him to continue the challenge.

• Li Ze entered the Light Gate and spent 131 days receiving 16,314 soul secret codices and techniques, then studied them for more than fifty years.

• The trial’s mechanical voice ordered Li Ze to observe five lotus flowers and create a new Top Tier Sixth Order Soul Secret Technique within ten thousand years or die.
• Li Ze studied the lotus flowers and basic inheritance, deepening his understanding of the soul as millions of years passed in Chaos City Lord’s Small Universe.
• Li Ze formed a point of Soul Power and released a Soul Annihilation attack; the trial judged it Top Tier Fifth Order and rejected it.
• Li Ze named his new technique Saint’s Radiance and resolved to continue despite falling short of the trial’s requirement.

After creating Universe of Demise, Li Ze learned that the inheritance trial still judged his soul technique as fifth-order peak, not the required sixth order. Realizing he needed guidance to break through, he asked Giant Axe Creator to bring him to Original Ancestor, who appeared in the Virtual Universe and invited him to explain his difficulty.

• After three thousand years of study, Li Ze created Universe of Demise, a soul technique that combined illusions, Soul Annihilation, and a powerful Will Impact.

• Original Ancestor appeared beside Li Ze and Giant Axe Creator in the Virtual Universe, and Chaos City Lord and Luo Feng joined them.
• Original Ancestor told Li Ze he had heard his request and asked what difficulty he had encountered and how he needed help.

Li Ze sought Original Ancestor’s help with creating a Top Tier Sixth Order Soul Secret Technique for the inheritance trial, and learned that Original Ancestor had once walked the Path of the Soul. After Original Ancestor corrected Li Ze’s approach and identified flaws in his technique, Li Ze returned to cultivation while the others considered the inheritance’s potential benefits and Original Ancestor’s advice.

• Li Ze told Original Ancestor that the inheritance’s Final Trial required him to create a Top Tier Sixth Order Soul Secret Technique within ten thousand years.
• Original Ancestor revealed that he had followed the Path of the Soul after finding a damaged inheritance in Qing Feng Realm, and explained how it helped him become the Universe Strongest before he was suppressed.
• Li Ze demonstrated Saint's Radiance and Universe of Demise, and Original Ancestor judged both to be fifth-order peak techniques, warning that Universe of Demise was too broad and that Li Ze should focus on pure soul attack.
• Original Ancestor identified more than ten flaws in Saint's Radiance and advised Li Ze on how to improve it, after which Li Ze returned to creating his technique with renewed confidence.
• Original Ancestor told Chaos City Lord and the others that the Path of the Soul could transform their Withered Wood Souls into Saint's Radiance Souls, but admitted that the inheritance was unlikely to free him from the Primordial Universe Origin Source’s seal.
• Before vanishing, Original Ancestor warned Giant Axe Creator that his devotion to the axe could hinder his future progress, leaving Giant Axe deep in thought.

Li Ze created a Top Tier Sixth Order Soul Annihilation secret technique and completed the final Dao Inheritance Trial, becoming the Illusory Void Sect’s sole Dao Inheritor Disciple. Ling Yun of Illusory Void led him through the sect’s core inheritance and succession ceremony, leaving Li Ze as the new Illusory Void Sect Master, ready to learn its most essential inheritance.
