Their fight revealed Li Ze's superior combat skill, and the chapter ended with both using their strongest attacks and Li Ze charging back at the High Priest after knocking him farther away.

• Li Ze overheard the Hugu Tribe's Holy Lord and Este discussing their effort to gather 5,000 slaves for the High Priest, then was discovered inside the palace.
• The High Priest arrived, accused Li Ze of lying about coming from the Central World, and agreed to fight him away from the Hugu Tribe's city.
• Li Ze and the High Priest exchanged attacks above the Ice Crystal Mountain Range, and the High Priest was surprised that a Domain Lord could match him.

• Li Ze summoned the Origin Sword from 10,081 crimson light swords and clashed it with the sphere, sending both fighters flying back.
• Li Ze recovered first and rushed toward the High Priest before he could stabilize himself.

Li Ze defeated the Hugu Tribe High Priest, captured him, and asked Venerable Yuchi for a secret method to enslave the Special Life. After the Hugu Tribe submitted, Bao Qi told Li Ze about two more treasures, and Li Ze set out to inspect the underground Fruit Tree.

• Li Ze used Extreme Speed to defeat the High Priest, then separated his Origin Core from his body and placed the unconscious Special Life in his World Ring.
• Li Ze contacted Venerable Yuchi, who identified the Nine Revolutions Secret Realm as newly born and agreed to obtain the Soul Lock Enslavement Secret Method for him.

• Bao Qi described the Myriad Flame Blood Gold Stele, an underground Fruit Tree, and a lake on the continent's surface that contained dense Law Power.
• Li Ze ordered Bao Qi to take him to the Fruit Tree, and they flew toward the depths of the underground world.

Li Ze discovered a Wood Origin Fruit Tree and harvested its nine fruits before taking the tree into his World Ring. He also found a lake of valuable Duo Lan Heavy Water, collected it, and then received a message from Venerable Yuchi to meet in the Virtual Universe.

• Li Ze followed Bao Qi to a hidden area and recognized a Wood Origin Fruit Tree bearing nine Origin Fruits.

• Bao Qi led Li Ze to a black lake, where Walli identified the liquid as valuable Duo Lan Heavy Water used in artifact refining.
• Li Ze learned the lake held over 700 million Hun Yuan units' worth of water, collected it in a World Ring, and received Venerable Yuchi's message to come to the Virtual Universe.

Li Ze received the Soul Lock secret technique from Venerable Yuchi and began cultivating it with all three of his bodies so he could enslave the Hugu Tribe High Priest. Two years later, Hugu Tribe searchers ventured far across the ice-covered continent, where Hu Ge saw something that left him frozen in place.

• Venerable Yuchi gave Li Ze the Soul Lock manual and confirmed that his Mental Amplitude of 57 was enough to attempt its first two layers.
• Li Ze studied the four layers of Soul Lock and decided to focus on mastering the first two so he could enslave the High Priest.
• Li Ze and his Golden Crow Physique and Feng Ze Clone cultivated Soul Lock simultaneously while the Hugu Tribe searched for treasures for him.
• Bao Qi and his younger brother lamented the tribe's losses and ordered their members to avoid provoking Li Ze and limit casualties.
• Hu Ge led Aruze and other Hugu Tribe members far beyond their territory to find the treasures Li Ze demanded, and Hu Ge froze when he saw something beyond a mountain peak.

After two years, Li Ze mastered the first two layers of Soul Lock and successfully enslaved the High Priest, but the process tarnished his soul and slowed his law comprehension. He discovered that Chaos energy could gradually remove the damage, then fell asleep while the High Priest waited beside him.

• The Hugu Tribe exploration team spotted a vast silver light curtain where ice fragments rose into the sky and merged with the Ice Crystal Layer.
• Li Ze completed the second layer of Soul Lock, traveled far from other lifeforms, and prepared to enslave the unconscious High Priest.
• Li Ze sent a Soul Sub-Lock into the High Priest’s Soul Sphere, endured the High Priest’s resistance, and used Chaos energy to halt the World Power’s attacks.
• The Soul Sub-Lock took hold, and the High Priest awakened and greeted Li Ze as his master.
• Li Ze found that enslaving the High Priest had slightly reduced his law comprehension, learned that Chaos energy could slowly undo the effect, and fell asleep.

After waking, Li Ze renamed the High Priest Rong Huo and explained that he came from outside the Nine Revolutions Secret Realm. Rong Huo recounted his origins, travels, cultivation, and discovery of energy-bearing crystals, leaving Li Ze with a broad account of the secret realm’s worlds and cultivation system.

• Li Ze woke, ordered the High Priest to shrink, and named him Rong Huo.
• Li Ze explained his origins outside the secret realm and gave Rong Huo a Spatial Ring containing an Auxiliary Light Brain.
• Rong Huo told Li Ze he had been born in an Abyss on the Ice Crystal Continent and learned cultivation knowledge by touching a light ball.
• Rong Huo described traveling across eight worlds through teleportation halls and meeting other Universe Realm lifeforms.
• After reaching the second level of the Universe Realm, Rong Huo found crystals that strengthened his origin core world and recruited mining slaves, beginning with the Hugu Tribe before Li Ze defeated and enslaved him.

Li Ze ordered Rong Huo to arrange the excavation of cultivation crystals and continued planning how to explore the Nine Revolutions Secret Realm. After the Hugu Tribe’s Holy Lord reported a dangerous site filled with Origin of Law, Li Ze descended into its Abyss and discovered an enormous altar.

• Li Ze told Rong Huo to recruit Hugu Tribe members to excavate crystals and instructed the tribe to keep searching for treasures containing Law Power.
• Li Ze considered using Rong Huo to explore other worlds, investigate underground treasures, and subdue more subordinates.
• The Hugu Tribe’s Holy Lord reported that an exploration team had found a place with a dense aura of Origin of Law, where most of its members had disappeared.
• Li Ze ordered Rong Huo and the Hugu Tribe’s Holy Lord to take him to the silver light curtain and entered the Abyss beyond it.
• Li Ze descended nearly thirty million kilometers through the ice-filled Abyss and found an enormous altar at its bottom.

Li Ze was drawn into an inheritance that showed him the life of Huang, an ancient Human Race leader who rose from a primitive world to become a powerful expert. As Huang’s civilization faced destruction, he left behind a contingency for the Human Race, and Li Ze awoke after witnessing its history.

• Li Ze approached the blood-red altar, which accepted his Human soul and transported him into an inheritance while it put Rong Huo to sleep and destroyed Bao Qi.
• Li Ze watched Huang’s birth and childhood as the old patriarch named him and began teaching him cultivation.
• Huang rapidly reached the Ghostly Whirl Realm, visited the Holy Master, entered the Tuo Ling Secret Realm, and grew strong enough to lead the Human Race as its patriarch.
• Huang’s Human Race later faced a threat from the Black God Race, and Huang lamented that he could not break through to the Lord of Laws or True God level in time to save them.
• As the Primordial Universe neared destruction, Huang declared that he had left a contingency so the Human Race would return, and Li Ze’s consciousness fell asleep before waking to a gentle voice.

Li Ze met Huang’s Memory Body and learned about the Spirit Merging Method, a powerful inheritance that had doomed its past inheritors’ attempts to become True Gods. Because Li Ze believed his two bodies and Divine Kingdoms could bypass that flaw, he accepted the inheritance.

• Li Ze awoke on an island in a vast, law-filled space and saw Huang’s Memory Body appear before him.
• Huang asked about the Human Race and the Primordial Universe, and Li Ze described the race’s current prosperity.
• Huang explained that he had preserved his inheritance after refusing a True God’s offer to save only a few humans before his universe’s destruction.
• Huang described the Spirit Merging Method’s great increase in strength and its fatal drawback: its users could not transform their Internal Divine Kingdoms into Small Universes.
• Li Ze reasoned that his two bodies and Divine Kingdoms could let him avoid the drawback, then accepted Huang’s inheritance.

Li Ze accepted Huang’s inheritance and began the Spirit Merging Method’s primary-stage test, comprehending the mural in the sealed hall. After the mural sent him an inheritance, he formed a crimson nebula and moved his Origin Core, then opened his Spirit Merging Space.

• Li Ze agreed to inherit the Spirit Merging Method, and Huang took him to the sealed hall containing the primary inheritance mural.
• Huang told Li Ze he had ten years to comprehend the method’s introductory stage or be sent away.
• Li Ze and his Golden Crow and Feng Ze Clones began comprehending the mural as pale blue energy entered Li Ze and changed his posture and gaze.
• The mural depicted a world forming inside the figure’s abdomen, and a gray ray from it merged into Li Ze’s forehead.
• Li Ze gathered Original Force into a crimson nebula below his navel and drew his Origin Core down from his tanzhong acupoint.
• Li Ze shouted, “Spirit Merging Space, open!”

Li Ze completed the Spirit Merging Space in less than a year, creating a vast inner world that could greatly amplify his strength but required Cosmic Crystals to replenish its energy. Huang warned him that the Spirit Merging Method might lead him away from transcendence, but Li Ze resolved to pursue it despite the dangers ahead.

• Li Ze formed the Spirit Merging Space around his Origin Core, and it expanded to a diameter of nearly three million kilometers.
• Li Ze realized the Spirit Merging Space could carry and merge his Inner World and Divine Kingdom, but could not absorb cosmic energy on its own.
• Huang appeared and revealed that Li Ze had created the space in less than a year, while previous Human Race inheritors had taken at least nearly a century.
• Huang explained that he had hoped Li Ze would abandon the method because he believed it was not a Path to Transcendence and could harm him.
• Li Ze thought of the threats facing the Human Race and vowed to follow the Spirit Merging Method to the end.

Huang brought Li Ze to the Azure Profound Hall, where he began the combat trials to earn treasures. Li Ze cleared the first level with ease and chose to continue into the second.

• Huang explained that the Azure Profound Hall held thirty-three combat trial levels and warned Li Ze about the danger.
• Li Ze entered the hall wearing the Slo Armor and wielding the Annihilation God Weapon.
• Giant Python Puppets attacked Li Ze throughout the first-level passage, but he cut down more than ten thousand of them.
• Li Ze reached the end of the passage and passed the first-level trial.
• Li Ze chose to continue and appeared at the entrance to the larger second-level passage.

Li Ze cleared the second layer of Azure Profound Hall using his Void Sword and earned two valuable rewards. He continued to the third layer, where the test began with the appearance of three Rock Giants.

• Li Ze used his simplified Sword World to fight the increasingly powerful Exotic Beast Puppets in the Second Layer Passage.
• Li Ze unleashed Void Sword, annihilating hundreds of Peak Domain Lord-level Exotic Beast Puppets and reaching the end of the passage in 21 minutes and 09 seconds.
• Li Ze received a Bailun Leaf and a Grolos Fruit as rewards for clearing the second layer and ranking among the top 500 Origin Core Realm challengers.
• Li Ze chose to continue and was teleported to the third layer, a vast desert beneath a starry sky.
• The mechanical voice instructed Li Ze to kill all Guardians, and a crystal sphere revealed three enormous Rock Giants.

Li Ze faced three intelligent Rock Giants at the World Lord peak in Azure Profound Hall and found that his attacks could barely hurt them. He unleashed his full strength against one Rock Giant and repeatedly battered it, leaving the battle ongoing.

• Li Ze discovered that the three Rock Giants were intelligent World Lord peak opponents and watched them charge at him from three directions.
• Li Ze activated Yanbao and struck one Rock Giant, sending it flying but failing to damage its exceptionally durable body.
• When two Rock Giants moved to attack together, Li Ze activated Extreme Speed and evaded them to pursue the Rock Giant he had struck first.
• Li Ze grew to his 19-meter battle form, empowered the Annihilation God Weapon with Fire Origin and Space laws, and brought down a massive crimson greatsword.
• The Rock Giant activated its World Projection to defend itself, but Li Ze's blow smashed its arms down and damaged its Inner World.
• Li Ze unleashed five rapid sword strikes, severely wounding the Rock Giant and rapidly draining its World Power.

Li Ze mastered the Annihilation God Weapon’s eighth secret technique and defeated all three Rock Giants, passing the third level of the Azure Profound Hall. After collecting his rewards, he chose to continue and arrived at the fourth level, where a star began radiating a terrifying aura and flames.

• Li Ze unleashed Annihilation, shattered one Rock Giant’s Inner World, and killed it in under three minutes.
• Li Ze used Annihilation to defeat the other two Rock Giants, ending the battle four minutes later.
• The Azure Profound Hall awarded Li Ze a Magic Cattail Grass seed and, for his 7-minute-13-second clear, a World Ring containing 30 cubic kilometers of Ancient Source Divine Water.
• Li Ze examined the Ancient Source Divine Water, felt it nourish his life genes, and decided to test it with the Golden Crow Body Refining Art after leaving the Inheritance Ground.
• Li Ze chose to continue and was teleported to the fourth level, a starry sky where a distant star erupted with a terrifying aura and flames.

Li Ze reached the fourth level of Azure Profound Hall and faced its Flame Immortal God Guardian, whose complete Law of Fire threatened to overwhelm him. Li Ze countered with his Spirit Merging Space projection and launched a full-power attack, but their weapons collided and the Immortal’s force hurled him backward.

• The mechanical voice announced that the fourth-level trial required Li Ze to kill the Guardian, and the Flame Immortal God recognized him as a rare Origin Core Realm challenger.
• The Flame Immortal God unleashed a vast fire law domain, and Li Ze manifested his Spirit Merging Space projection to barely hold it back.
• Li Ze realized his stored Original Force would not sustain the projection for long, so he activated Yanbao and Extreme Speed and charged at the Guardian.
• Li Ze struck with Annihilation, but the Flame Immortal God met him with a spear thrust powered by the Laws of Fire and Space.
• Li Ze's crimson sword collided with the flaming spear, and the resulting force sent him flying backward through shattered space.

Li Ze used Space Freeze to kill the Spirit God Realm Guardian and pass the Azure Profound Hall's fourth floor. Huang appeared, astonished by Li Ze's victory, and prepared to discuss his rewards.

• Li Ze and the flame Immortal God fought evenly as their armor broke and both were wounded.
• Li Ze realized his Original Force was running low and decided to use Space Freeze as a final attack.
• Li Ze froze the space around the Immortal God, then used Extreme Speed and Yanbao to strike and kill him.
• The frozen space returned to normal, and Li Ze reflected that Space Freeze consumed too much Original Force to use except as a trump card.
• Huang appeared, expressed astonishment at Li Ze's victory, and congratulated him on passing the fourth floor before offering to discuss his rewards.
