Chapter Summaries

Li Ze descended into the depths of Demon Spirit Mountain, escaped the deadly winds by climbing down the Abyss wall, and discovered a rock that quieted the Demon Sound and aided Dao Enlightenment. Six vivid battle projections revealed the Myriad Mountain Alliance Master's sword techniques, and Li Ze began studying them.

• The Black-Robed Emperor Level Cultivator left the Abyss after concluding that Li Ze would die there and that he had avenged his teacher and fellow disciples.
• Li Ze found that the winds prevented him from climbing upward, so he descended thousands of light-years along the mountain wall as the gale and Demon Sound weakened.
• Li Ze landed on an enormous rock that calmed his mind and silenced the Demon Sound, but he could neither move it nor cut it with the Heaven Seizing Sword.
• Six battle projections appeared, showing the Myriad Mountain Alliance Master's sword shadow defeating powerful opponents and clashing with a Golden Staff.
• Li Ze recognized the projections as a rare chance to study the Alliance Master's Sword Dao and sat on the Enlightenment Stone to begin comprehending them.

In the Demon Spirit Mountain, Li Ze spent nearly nine hundred thousand epochs studying the six images and greatly strengthened his Open Heaven sword technique. After the images vanished and revealed Wanshan’s message urging him to forge his own path, Li Ze left the Giant Pit and prepared to hunt the Black-Robed Emperor Level Cultivator.

• In the End Ruins Land, Yuan asked the Myriad Mountain Alliance Master to secretly guard Li Ze in the Blazing Abyss Source World and let him leave after Li Ze finished comprehending.

• The Myriad Mountain Alliance Master observed Li Ze’s progress and realized Li Ze was repairing and strengthening the foundation of his sword technique.
• After nearly nine hundred thousand epochs, Li Ze completed the integration and judged that his secret technique’s foundation rivaled those of God Emperor Level powerhouses.
• The six images dissipated and revealed Wanshan’s message, which urged Li Ze to create his own path to reach the Origin Level.
• Li Ze left the Giant Pit and resolved to find the Black-Robed Emperor Level Cultivator who had plotted against him.

After emerging from Demon Spirit Mountain, Li Ze learned that Blood Origin Heaven and Earth’s natives had driven most Source Beings away and went to Ageless Mountain to confront Shadow Sword Emperor Lord. Li Ze destroyed the Emperor Lord’s formations with a Soul Attack and gained the upper hand in their ensuing duel.

• An Yu met Li Ze outside Demon Spirit Mountain, explained how she had refined a Source Blood Bead to reach King Level Perfected, and gave him the two remaining beads she had found.

• Li Ze and An Yu traveled to Ageless Mountain, where Li Ze sensed Shadow Sword Emperor Lord and the forces gathered around him.
• Shadow Sword Emperor Lord alerted his forces to Li Ze’s arrival, and Li Ze’s Soul Attack shattered the formation giants and killed their members.
• Li Ze fought Shadow Sword Emperor Lord, broke his nine-sword formation, and repeatedly struck him while keeping him on the defensive.

Li Ze killed the Shadow Sword Emperor Lord, seized his treasures, and looted Ageless Mountain before leaving Blood Origin Heaven and Earth with An Yu. Back outside, Kodo Bo approached Li Ze and asked him to cooperate in the coming Sunset Abyss expedition.

• Li Ze reflected on how his soul attacks had enabled him to kill the Shadow Sword Emperor Lord and collected the dead Emperor's nearly thousand Source Blood Beads and other treasures.
• Li Ze and An Yu reached Ageless Mountain, where Li Ze broke the palace formations and collected the Shadow Sword Emperor Lord's secret technique manuals and Combined Attack Formations.

• Li Ze and An Yu used their Tokens to leave Blood Origin Heaven and Earth after nearly ninety Chaos Epochs and returned to the plaza outside.
• Kodo Bo introduced himself to Li Ze as a member of the Kodo Clan and asked whether Li Ze would cooperate with him in the upcoming Sunset Abyss.

Li Ze learned from Kodo Bo that Sunset Abyss contained a collapsing universe filled with dangerous treasures, including Emperor Source Heavenly Crystals, and opened only once every six hundred and thirty trillion Chaos Epochs. He agreed to join Kodo Bo in seeking treasures there and returned to the Nine-Eyed An Tribe to make arrangements.

• Li Ze asked Kodo Bo about cooperating, and Kodo Bo sent An Yu away before explaining Sunset Abyss.
• Kodo Bo showed Li Ze records describing Sunset Abyss as a deadly forbidden land where Emperor Level Source Beings competed for treasures in a collapsing universe.
• Li Ze learned that Sunset Abyss opened once every six hundred and thirty trillion Chaos Epochs, and that its dangers had claimed thousands of King Level Perfected experts and over forty Emperor Level Source Beings.
• Kodo Bo asked Li Ze to partner with him in the coming treasure hunt, and Li Ze accepted.
• Li Ze told Kodo Bo he would return to the Nine-Eyed An Tribe, then flew to An Yu and used the Token to leave.

Li Ze cultivated while awaiting the Sunset Abyss, where Nine-Eyed Hui invited him to explore a Source Treasure left by Lord Basir. Li Ze agreed to join the expedition and planned to travel to the Sunset Abyss with Kodo Bo, though Kodo Bo would not enter the Source Treasure.

• After sixty Chaos Epochs, Nine-Eyed Hui visited Li Ze and invited him to explore a Source Treasure in the Sunset Abyss.
• Nine-Eyed Hui explained that three teams had found Lord Basir’s Source Treasure, where two Emperor Level experts had died and ten tokens were needed to enter the inner region.
• Li Ze questioned the danger and potential rewards, and Nine-Eyed Hui estimated a forty percent chance that the inner region was an Inheritance Ground and a sixty percent chance that it was a dangerous land.
• Li Ze agreed to join Nine-Eyed Hui’s team, which included the Zhao Ming Clan Leader and the Yu Hua Clan Leader.
• Li Ze told Nine-Eyed Hui that he had already agreed to enter the Sunset Abyss with Kodo Bo, and Nine-Eyed Hui said Kodo Bo could not accompany them into the Source Treasure.
• After Nine-Eyed Hui left, Li Ze pondered the Source Treasure and resumed cultivating.

Li Ze and Kodo Bo traveled through the Blazing Abyss Desert to reach Sunset Abyss before the setting sun opened its entrance. As the sun descended into the Heaven Devouring Vortex, Li Ze discovered that Sunset Abyss was connected to the Blazing Abyss Source World’s Origin Land, though he still needed to locate it and find a way to reach it unnoticed.

• Li Ze and Kodo Bo departed for Sunset Abyss with An Yu stored in Li Ze’s supreme treasure space.
• After nearly ten thousand years of teleporting, Li Ze and Kodo Bo reached the Heaven Devouring Vortex as the sun began to set.
• The Black Demon Race Clan Leader and the Dongxi Race Clan Leader arrived, and the Dongxi Race Clan Leader warned that Li Ze was a Mid Emperor Level expert who had killed other Emperor Level experts.
• Li Ze sensed that the sun’s Origin Power was increasing as it neared Sunset Abyss and deduced that the Origin Land lay within it.
• The descending sun touched the Heaven Devouring Vortex as Li Ze considered how to find the Origin Land without alerting the other Emperor Level Source Beings.

Li Ze entered the collapsing universe beneath Sunset Abyss and discovered Great Dao Source Liquid that could strengthen his Inner Universe. When he reached the treasure site, Heng Ling and Ke Xing demanded that he leave, but Li Ze refused and faced their nine-person group in battle.

• Li Ze and Kodo Bo entered the Spacetime Channel to the collapsing universe, while the Eight-Eyed Giant Beast pursued the cultivator who had killed Yue Leng and the Myriad Mountain Alliance Master set out to protect Li Ze.
• Li Ze emerged from a Space-Time Vortex alone, sensed the collapsing universe's chaotic origin, and used a token to locate Kodo Bo.
• After flying through the universe for nearly a month, Li Ze detected Great Dao Source Liquid on a nearby Void Continent and headed toward it.
• Li Ze encountered Heng Ling, Ke Xing, and seven King Level Perfected powerhouses guarding the continent, and refused Heng Ling's demand that he leave.
• Heng Ling ordered the group to kill Li Ze, and all nine attacked as Li Ze drew the Heaven Seizing Sword.

Li Ze repelled Heng Ling and Ke Xing’s coordinated assault, then killed their seven King Level Perfected allies with his Spirit Annihilation Sword. When the two Emperor Level experts tried to withdraw after half a month of stalemate, Li Ze focused on Ke Xing and badly wounded him, leaving Ke Xing fleeing while Heng Ling struggled to intervene.

• Ke Xing’s Soul Attack failed against Li Ze’s Illusory Dream River, and Li Ze blocked Heng Ling’s spear strike before shattering the seven other attackers’ ranged attacks.
• Li Ze launched his Spirit Annihilation Sword, killing the seven King Level Perfected Source Beings and weakening Heng Ling and Ke Xing with soul pain.
• Li Ze fought Heng Ling and Ke Xing for nearly half a month, but their attacks could not penetrate his defenses, so they decided to retreat.
• Li Ze refused to let them leave and concentrated his attacks on Ke Xing, knocking aside his saber and carving a massive wound through his body.
• Ke Xing fled toward the distant void as Heng Ling, hindered by Li Ze’s Soul Attack, could only urge him to escape.

Li Ze defeated Heng Ling and Ke Xing's group in the collapsing universe beneath Sunset Abyss, killing Ke Xing and seven others before Heng Ling escaped. Heng Ling persuaded Emperor Lord Yan Xin to agree to kill Li Ze when the Ultimate Emperor Source Heavenly Crystal appeared, while Yan Xin privately questioned whether Li Ze belonged to the Source Being faction.

• Li Ze overwhelmed Ke Xing's escape attempts, fought Heng Ling and Ke Xing together, and killed Ke Xing with the Heaven Seizing Sword.

• Heng Ling met Emperor Lord Yan Xin and showed him a recording of Li Ze's battle, claiming Li Ze might possess an Origin Level defensive Secret Treasure.
• Heng Ling offered his race's Progenitor Token in exchange for revenge, and Emperor Lord Yan Xin agreed to kill Li Ze when the Ultimate Emperor Source Heavenly Crystal appeared.
• After Heng Ling left, Emperor Lord Yan Xin wondered whether Li Ze belonged to the Source Being faction.

Li Ze collected Great Dao Source Liquid, fought off treasure hunters, and traveled to Yanfeng Island to cultivate. As he approached, the Origin Land within his Inner Universe trembled, suggesting the collapsing universe’s Origin Land might be on the island.

• Li Ze entered a valley, endured strange purple flames, and devoured the small pool of Great Dao Source Liquid.
• Heng Ling spread word that Li Ze had killed Ke Xing and possessed an Origin Level Secret Treasure, causing news of Nine-Eyed Ze to spread among Emperor Level Source Beings.
• Li Ze killed four King Level Perfected Source Beings who mistook him for one of their own, then collected their relics and an Emperor Level ore.
• Li Ze arrived near Yanfeng Island, where Kodo Bo was, and planned to cultivate and absorb his Great Dao Source Liquid.
• As Li Ze approached Yanfeng Island, the Origin Land within his Inner Universe trembled, and he hurried toward the island to investigate.

Li Ze reached Yanfeng Island and discovered that its unusual Source Fluctuation stirred a powerful yearning in the Origin Land within his Inner Universe. After sending An Yu to explore other treasure lands, he joined Kodo Bo on Yanfeng Island, where Emperor Lord Qiangjing and the other Emperor Level experts took notice of his arrival.

• Li Ze flew toward Yanfeng Island, sensed its growing influence on his Inner Universe, and concluded that the Collapsing Universe might hold secrets connected to his cultivation.
• Li Ze released An Yu and instructed her to survey other treasure lands while he investigated the Ten Treasure Land Islands.
• The King Level Perfected experts around Yanfeng Island recognized Li Ze as Nine-Eyed Ze, and news of his arrival spread to the Emperor Level experts.
• Yong Qi informed Emperor Lord Qiangjing that Li Ze had arrived, and Qiangjing decided to wait for a chance to confront him when Emperor Source Heavenly Crystals appeared.
• Li Ze met Kodo Bo, learned that five Emperor Level experts were on Yanfeng Island, and said he would explore while Kodo Bo stood guard.

Li Ze rejected the Ancient Forest Clan Leader’s offer to join forces and continued searching Yanfeng Island for the Origin Land. He discovered that the collapsing universe was structured like an enormous Inner Universe, with Yanfeng Island containing the world’s wind-related Origin Sources, and set out to find and enter them.

• The Ancient Forest Clan Leader approached Li Ze and proposed they join forces against Emperor Lord Qiangjing to seize Emperor Source Heavenly Crystals on Yanfeng Island.
• Li Ze declined the alliance, and the Ancient Forest Clan Leader secretly grew hostile after Li Ze departed.
• Li Ze reasoned that the Ancient Forest Clan Leader might betray him over treasures and continued searching for the Origin Land instead.
• After nearly a hundred years of exploration, Li Ze realized the collapsing universe resembled a vast Inner Universe, with its ten Treasure Land Islands serving as cores that maintained its Operating Rules.
• Li Ze identified Yanfeng Island as containing the universe’s wind-related Origin Sources and flew off to find a way to reach them.

After sensing an Emperor Source Heavenly Crystal emerge on Yanfeng Island, Li Ze abandoned his search long enough to rush toward the gathering battle. He arrived as rival factions fought for position and discovered that the crystal contained the complete Way of Storm.

• Li Ze detected the powerful emergence fluctuation and decided to investigate, test his strength, and look for clues to the Origin Source.
• Emperor Lord Qiangjing and the Yongqi Clan Leader sent Wu Long and more than ten King Level Perfected Source Beings toward the Demon Li Mountains.
• Experts from across the Collapsing Universe converged on Yanfeng Island, and Li Ze reached the battlefield after five days of travel.
• Li Ze observed five Emperor Level Source Beings and several teams of King Level Perfected Source Beings fighting over the still-emerging crystal.
• Li Ze sensed that the Emperor Source Heavenly Crystal had formed from Collapsing Universe Origin Power and contained the complete Way of Storm.

Li Ze discovered that the Emperor Source Heavenly Crystal could greatly strengthen his Inner Universe and grant it its first complete Dao, so he rushed to seize it. His arrival at the battlefield disrupted the fighting among the Emperor Level Source Beings and created a three-way standoff.

• Li Ze sensed the Emperor Source Heavenly Crystal’s immense Origin Power and complete Way of Storm, realizing his Inner Universe could devour it without waste.
• Li Ze noticed that a Violet Light Cluster was drawing Origin Power through a passage apparently connected to the Yanfeng Island Origin Land, but he could not uncover its mystery.
• Li Ze decided to seize the crystal, hoping its power would strengthen him and help him find the Origin Land, then flew toward the battlefield.
• The watching King Level Perfected Source Beings recognized Li Ze as Nine-Eyed Ze, the Mid Emperor Level powerhouse famous for killing an Emperor Level Source Being.
• The five Emperor Level Source Beings and three King Level Perfected teams noticed Li Ze and slowed their attacks, wary that his arrival had turned their fight into a three-way standoff.

Li Ze arrived at the standoff over the Emperor Source Heavenly Crystal and refused offers to ally with either the Ancient Forest Clan Leader or Emperor Lord Qiangjing. Emperor Lord Li He then arrived with the Stone Ape Clan Leader, raising the stakes as the powerful factions waited for the treasure to fully emerge.

• Emperor Lord Qiangjing, the Ancient Forest Clan Leader, and the other fighters stopped battling when Li Ze arrived, and Kodo Bo joined Li Ze after explaining his earlier alliance had been temporary.
• Li Ze concluded that the factions should wait for more Emperor Level Source Beings to arrive before attempting to seize the Emperor Source Heavenly Crystal, since the others might join forces against him.
• The Ancient Forest Clan Leader offered Li Ze five Emperor Level Secret Treasures and promised help in exchange for the crystal, while Emperor Lord Qiangjing urged Li Ze to ally with him instead.
• Li Ze rejected both offers and said he would rely on himself and Kodo Bo to compete for the treasure.
• Emperor Lord Li He and the Stone Ape Clan Leader arrived with their forces, and Emperor Lord Li He challenged Emperor Lord Qiangjing and the Ancient Forest Clan Leader while acknowledging Li Ze as a rival.
• Emperor Lord Li He and his group withdrew to another part of the void, and Li Ze waited for the Emperor Source Heavenly Crystal to emerge and trigger a wider battle.

As the Emperor Source Heavenly Crystal emerged, Emperor Lord Fei Hun arrived and shifted the balance among the gathered factions. When the battle erupted, Li Ze used his exceptional speed and defense to charge through the chaos toward the treasure, shocking the other powerhouses.

• Fifteen Emperor Level Source Beings and hundreds of King Level Perfected Source Beings gathered around the Black Wind Cluster as the Emperor Source Heavenly Crystal neared emergence.
• Emperor Lord Fei Hun arrived with a powerful team, explaining that he wanted the crystal for a talented clansman who needed it to break through to the Emperor Level.
• The Emperor Source Heavenly Crystal emerged, and the factions launched combined attacks against one another instead of immediately collecting it.
• As the strongest factions focused their attacks on Emperor Lord Fei Hun and other major rivals, Li Ze decided to seize the crystal and sent Kodo Bo a voice transmission.
• Li Ze activated his Inner Universe, used his Extreme Speed Dao and Heaven-Defying Armor to cross the shattered battlefield, and shocked the gathered powerhouses with his charge toward the treasure.

Li Ze charged toward the Emperor Source Heavenly Crystal, relying on his speed, Heaven-Defying Armor, and powerful defenses to endure the factions’ combined attacks. After he survived a nearly Emperor Level Perfected strike with his life aura barely diminished, the opposing experts were left shocked as he continued toward the treasure.

• Li Ze abandoned his plan to wait for the battlefield to descend into chaos and rushed straight toward the Emperor Source Heavenly Crystal.
• Emperor Lord Fei Hun, Emperor Lord Qiangjing, Emperor Lord Li He, and the other factions agreed to join forces against Li Ze, while Kodo Bo and his team stayed out of the attack.
• The factions divided their forces into three groups and launched coordinated attacks that converged on Li Ze.
• Li Ze dodged the first attack, used the Heaven Seizing Sword to weaken the second, and took Emperor Lord Fei Hun’s final attack head-on.
• The combined attack barely affected Li Ze, and the other Emperor Level experts and spectators stared in disbelief as he pressed on toward the Emperor Source Heavenly Crystal.

Li Ze endured the Source Beings’ combined attacks and reached the Emperor Source Heavenly Crystal inside the Black Wind Cluster. After locating Yanfeng Island’s Origin Land and severing the crystal’s tether, he collected it and vanished under a final barrage using Void Realm Teleportation.

• Li Ze withstood the Source Beings’ coordinated attacks and raced toward the Black Wind Cluster while the Emperor Level Source Beings reorganized their assault.
• Li Ze entered the Black Wind Cluster, used Source Blood Beads to counter its corrosive and binding power, and reached the Emperor Source Heavenly Crystal first.
• Li Ze expanded his Void Realm along the crystal’s Azure Ribbon and discovered the location of Yanfeng Island’s Origin Land.
• Li Ze severed the Azure Ribbon with the Heaven Seizing Sword and collected the Emperor Source Heavenly Crystal, causing the Black Wind Cluster to disperse.
• The Emperor Level Source Beings attacked Li Ze to stop his escape, but Li Ze used Void Realm Teleportation and disappeared amid the resulting energy storm.
