Chapter Summaries

After Yuan sent the other Source Experts away, Li Ze continued devouring Hengmo Source World's Origin Power for several thousand years. His Golden Crow Main Body finally consumed the Source World’s origin, triggering its total destruction while Lord Silver Fish and the others watched from outside.

• Yuan gave Tian Langke and Lord Silver Fish Lord-level Source Secret Treasures, then sent them and the other Source Experts out of Hengmo Source World.

• Hengmo Source World’s destruction continued for several days, forming a vast, violent Source Qi Flow vortex that even High Source Beings could not enter.

After Hengmo Source World was destroyed, Li Ze created and cultivated the Eternal Universe Body, transforming his body into a defense comparable to a powerful Source Secret Treasure. He then reunited with Silver Fish and chose to lead Wanshan and the others to Yushan Source World rather than join Silver Fish’s next attack.

Li Ze conquered Yushan Source World and continued invading abandoned territories while devouring Source World origins, but his Inner Universe still did not transform. Meanwhile, the Cultivator Faction Origin Lords opened the Dark Ruin Realm, devastating the Land of Returning Ruins and drawing the attention of powers across the Infinite Source Space; the chapter ended with the Innate Source Being Progenitors unable to see inside the newly emerged world.

• Li Ze and the Cultivator Faction Source Experts defeated the Innate Source Being Faction forces in Yushan Source World, and Li Ze let his allies divide the spoils.
• Li Ze devoured Yushan Source World's Origin Source, then led the group to conquer more abandoned Source Worlds over the next hundred thousand years.
• Yuan ordered the Cultivator Faction Origin Lords to open the Dark Ruin Realm, and Mu Tuo activated a blood-based Secret Pattern Diagram that reversed and collapsed the Land of Returning Ruins' central vortex.
• The resulting energy tide destroyed most of the Land of Returning Ruins and killed many explorers before an enormous world appeared at its core; Wing Lord, You, and other Lords arrived but soon left.
• The Innate Source Being Progenitors gathered to discuss the Dark Ruin Realm, and Dragon Lizard Progenitor's investigation showed the world but could not reveal what lay within.

The emergence of the Dark Ruin Realm prompted factions across the Infinite Source Space to prepare their World-level Source Experts for a dangerous contest over a rumored chance to reach the Lord level. As forces and individuals set out, the news reached Li Ze while he was devouring a Source World Origin.

• The Innate Source Being Faction’s Progenitors agreed to suspend fighting, send World-level Source Experts into the Dark Ruin Realm, and have Dragon Lizard Progenitor verify whether Origin Lords could enter.

• News of the Dark Ruin Realm spread across the Infinite Source Space and reached Li Ze as he devoured a Source World Origin.

Li Ze joined Tian Langke, Silver Fish, Ling Tianjun, and other Cultivator Faction experts to compete for the Dark Ruin Realm’s opportunity to become an Origin Lord. When they arrived, more than nine hundred World-class Source Experts from several Strange Lifeform factions had formed a blockade, and Tian Langke led the group into a charge against it.

• Tian Langke and Silver Fish invited Li Ze to join their team for the Dark Ruin Realm opportunity, and Li Ze agreed.
• Li Ze arranged for the Myriad Mountain Alliance Master to oversee the army before traveling with the other experts toward the Land of Void Source.
• Yuan warned the group that several Strange Lifeform factions had joined forces to keep the Cultivator Faction out of the Dark Ruin Realm.
• Li Ze and the others found more than nine hundred World-class Source Experts surrounding the realm in a formation, with the Innate Source Being Faction and solitary experts trapped outside.
• Dushan asked Tian Langke’s group to bring him through the blockade, but Tian Langke declined and then charged toward the formation with Li Ze and the others following.

Li Ze and the Cultivator Faction's experts attacked the Strange Lifeform Faction's formation outside Dark Ruin Realm. Li Ze revealed overwhelming strength, killed two World-level Source Experts, and ignored Lu Fang's demand to stop.

• Dushan and many other World-level Source Experts joined Li Ze, Tian Langke, Silver Fish, and the Cultivator Faction's group in attacking the formation.
• Li Ze's Karma Fire Domain overpowered the formation's suppression, and his Sword Light shattered the attackers' joint assault and badly injured several of them.
• Li Ze expanded to ten billion light-years tall and killed one ordinary World-level Source Expert with a sword strike.
• Li Ze pursued and killed a second ordinary World-level Source Expert as Lu Fang rushed over and ordered him to stop.
• The remaining Strange Lifeform Faction experts fled, and Lu Fang threatened that more than nine hundred Source Experts would besiege the Cultivator Faction if Li Ze continued slaughtering them.

Li Ze used a powerful Soul Attack to help kill ten of the World-class Source Experts besieging him, then forced Lu Fang to open a passage into the Dark Ruin Realm. News of Li Ze’s strength spread across the Infinite Source Space, and the Innate Source Being faction resolved to send Luan Yun and others to kill him inside the realm.

• Li Ze’s Soul Attack froze twelve fleeing World-class Source Experts, and his sword strikes killed ten of them while four peak experts escaped injured.
• Lu Fang confronted Li Ze and Tian Langke, but yielded and opened the formation’s passage after Li Ze refused to return the slain experts’ treasures.
• Li Ze and the Cultivator Faction entered the Dark Ruin Realm, while Lu Fang sealed the passage against the other World-class Source Experts.
• Dushan and the other blocked experts withdrew to wait as reports of Li Ze’s strength spread through the Infinite Source Space.
• Infinite Great Serpent and the other Source Progenitors ordered Luan Yun and others to surround and kill Li Ze inside the Dark Ruin Realm.

Li Ze and the Cultivator Faction’s pioneers entered the Dark Ruin Realm, where they found a lifeless void and began searching its worlds for treasures. After Li Ze gathered a vast haul, a message drew him toward a damaged Lord-level Source Secret Treasure and the realm’s first terrifying lifeforms; he arrived as experts debated joining forces.

• Li Ze, Tian Langke, Silver Fish, and other Cultivator Faction experts entered the Dark Ruin Realm, felt its oppressive force, and agreed to explore separately as pioneers.
• Li Ze searched worlds contained within faintly glowing stars and found nothing at first, then discovered and collected abundant treasures from one star world.
• Li Ze and other Cultivator Faction experts grew wary that they were finding treasures without encountering danger, while more than three thousand World-level Source Experts entered the realm.
• Li Ze received a message about a damaged Lord-level Source Secret Treasure and powerful Dark Ruin Realm lifeforms, then flew toward the reported location.
• Li Ze found experts gathered around a half-submerged Black Mountain Peak bearing a ruined palace, while three enormous tentacled beasts guarded the Star River; one expert proposed they join forces.

Li Ze charged into the Star River, overcame the Three Terror Beasts, and seized the damaged Lord-level Source Secret Treasure palace. He left after intimidating Yan Qi and the other World-level Source Experts, then reflected on how much the Eternal Armor had helped him.

• Yan Qi failed to persuade the other World-level Source Experts to join forces against the Three Terror Beasts, so they waited for an opportunity or for Perfect World-class experts to arrive.
• Li Ze flew into the Star River and ignored the Three Terror Beasts as he climbed toward the palace atop Black Mountain Peak.
• The Three Terror Beasts attacked Li Ze with flames and tentacles, but his Eternal Armor protected him while he fought them off and took the damaged palace.
• Yan Qi challenged Li Ze over taking the treasure, but the Eight-Clawed Strange Beast quickly apologized on his behalf, and Li Ze left without attacking them.
• Li Ze flew deeper into the void and reflected that the Dark Ruin Realm lifeforms were stronger than he had expected and that the Eternal Armor had made his victory possible.

Li Ze spent more than a century roaming the Dark Ruin Realm before learning that Shadow Walker had defeated Tian Yu and risen to the ranks of the strongest experts. As Yuan warned the Cultivator Faction to avoid Shadow Walker, Li Ze became eager to fight him, while Shadow Walker and his companion continued searching for the great opportunity.

• Li Ze continued gathering treasures in the Dark Ruin Realm while other experts avoided him, and he waited for a worthy battle.
• Cang Shui reported that Shadow Walker had defeated Tian Yu in a fight over a Lord-level Source Secret Treasure and showed the battle projection to the Cultivator Faction.
• Yuan judged Shadow Walker strong enough to rank among the top three on the Lord seed list and warned experts without Perfect World-class Source Expert combat power to retreat from him.
• Li Ze studied Shadow Walker's movement and attacks, then eagerly wondered whether he could defeat him.
• Shadow Walker told his star-robed companion that they could not have killed Tian Yu and urged them to conserve their strength while seeking the opportunity to become Origin Lords.

Li Ze answered Cang He’s plea for aid and raced toward God Extinguishing Island, where Liu Luo’s group had trapped four Cultivator Faction experts over a special Token. As Li Ze approached, Ye Zhang identified a way to accelerate the island’s formation, while Liu Luo hesitated to spend his strength on it.

• Li Ze found an Akiluo Crystal, then received Cang He’s request for aid and set out for his location.
• Liu Luo threatened Cang He, Lan Xi, and their two companions unless they surrendered the Token, while the formation on God Extinguishing Island kept his group out.
• Cang He told his companions that Golden Crow was coming and promised him half the Token’s value if he saved them.
• Ye Zhang deduced that the Suspended Islands belonged to a vast formation and said coordinated attacks could speed up its operation and weaken God Extinguishing Island’s protection.
• Liu Luo agreed to have his group attack the formation together so Ye Zhang could search for its flaws.

Li Ze arrived at God Extinguishing Island just as Liu Luo and his allies were close to breaking its formation. He suppressed the attackers with his Karma Fire Domain and targeted Tian Yin with a devastating Soul Attack, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Liu Luo and seven World-class Source Experts attacked God Extinguishing Island’s formation while Ye Zhang deduced its weak points, causing the barrier to near collapse.
• Li Ze arrived, rejected Liu Luo’s demand, and faced Tian Yin, Alien Demon, Hawk Eagle, and Mu Lian as Liu Luo continued trying to break the formation.
• Li Ze unleashed his Karma Fire Domain, destroyed Tian Yin’s water domain, and suppressed all eight attackers across the surrounding void.
• Liu Luo ordered his group to regroup and retreat, but Li Ze used the Ink Li Sword and his domain to prevent the four weaker attackers from reaching him.
• Li Ze burned his Soul Power to strike Tian Yin with a Soul Attack, causing Tian Yin’s strength to drop by more than ninety percent.

Li Ze overwhelmed Tian Yin with his Karma Fire Domain, Soul Attacks, and sword strikes, forcing Tian Yin to self-destruct before Liu Luo unleashed his powerful innate secret art to confront him. Li Ze killed Hawk Eagle with a devastating long-range Soul Attack, and Liu Luo escaped with Alien Demon and Mu Lian while Li Ze was left mentally exhausted.

• Li Ze repeatedly weakened Tian Yin with Soul Attacks and sword strikes until Tian Yin lost the ability to resist.
• Li Ze tried to seal Tian Yin in the Karma Fire Red Source Tower, but Tian Yin self-destructed rather than be captured.
• Alien Demon, Hawk Eagle, and Mu Lian tried to flee, while Liu Luo and Ye Zhang rushed toward the battlefield; Liu Luo unleashed his costly innate secret art and broke through Li Ze's Karma Fire Domain.
• Liu Luo and Li Ze clashed, but Li Ze's Eternal Armor kept his life aura intact, and Liu Luo withdrew toward Hawk Eagle and the others.
• Li Ze launched an even stronger Soul Attack from afar and killed Hawk Eagle, shocking Liu Luo, Alien Demon, and Mu Lian.
• Liu Luo took Alien Demon and Mu Lian into his Spatial Secret Treasure and escaped; Li Ze did not pursue because the attack had consumed nearly all his Soul Power.

Li Ze rescued Cang He, Lan Xi, Yong Ye, and Ming Hua, then learned their Dark Purple Jade Token revealed the Land of Source, a legendary opportunity to become an Origin Lord. He traded them eight World-class Source Secret Treasures for the Token and left to pursue the opportunity.

• Li Ze sent the watching World-class Source Experts away and greeted Cang He, Lan Xi, Yong Ye, and Ming Hua after the battle.
• Li Ze explained that he could not confidently defeat Liu Luo and that his powerful Soul Attack had limits.
• Cang He revealed that the group had found a Dark Purple Jade Token on God Extinguishing Island, which identified the Land of Source as the Dark Ruin Realm’s greatest opportunity.
• Li Ze sensed that the Token could help his Inner Universe transform into a Source World and asked to obtain it.
• Cang He and the others gave Li Ze the Token, and he compensated them with eight World-class Source Secret Treasures and a promise of Lord-level treasures if he became an Origin Lord.
• Li Ze put away the Token, offered the four support, and departed.

After defeating Liu Luo’s group, Li Ze became the focus of growing attention across the Dark Ruin Realm. As the Lord Seed List shifted amid several centuries of battles, Li Ze waited for the Land of Source and the greatest opportunity to emerge.

• Cang He, Lan Xi, Yong Ye, and Ming Hua accepted Golden Crow’s eight World-class Source Secret Treasures and continued exploring the Dark Ruin Realm.
• Liu Luo released Ye Zhang and the surviving experts after escaping Li Ze, lamented their losses, and resolved to keep searching for the greatest opportunity.
• Witnesses spread news of Li Ze’s victory over eight opponents and his powerful Soul Attacks, prompting factions to reassess his strength and the Innate Source Being Faction to intensify its desire to kill him.
• Ji Hu and Lord of Dongke fought to a draw over a mineral vein, while Shadow Walker lost to Shi Jia Wu over a damaged Lord-level Source Secret Treasure.
• World-level Source Experts revised the Lord Seed List, placing Shi Jia Wu first and Shadow Walker ninth, while Mo Yuanhuang fell off the list.
• Li Ze reviewed the new rankings, predicted that the Land of Source would trigger fiercer battles, and continued exploring the stellar world.

After several simultaneous Land of Source Tokens appeared in the Dark Ruin Realm, Li Ze and experts from across the factions rushed toward the site. The chapter ended as Ji Hu secretly asked Meng She to help him eliminate Li Ze.

• More than five thousand years after the Dark Ruin Realm opened, reports spread that Meng She had defeated Gui Zun and seized a Land of Source Token.
• Li Ze sensed several Token fluctuations and headed toward them, while powerful experts across the region raced to claim the Tokens.
• Shi Jia Wu and other Cultivator Faction experts urged Li Ze, Lord of Dongke, and Mo Yuanhuang to secure as many Tokens as possible.
• Li Ze arrived at a vast formation blocking the spacetime where the Tokens had emerged and joined several hundred gathered experts.
• Ji Hu spotted Li Ze and sent Meng She a message, planning to eliminate him before competing for the Tokens.

Li Ze waited for the five Dao Source Land Tokens to emerge, then raced into the formation when it opened and fought through its twisting spacetime. His powerful sword strikes cleared a path, but a metal-like World-level Source Expert trapped him with a binding treasure as the contest continued.

• Li Ze failed to penetrate the formation and waited with the Cultivator Faction’s experts while more than thirteen hundred World-class Source Experts gathered.
• Li Ze, Mo Yuanhuang, and Lord of Dongke agreed to pursue separate Tokens and support whoever obtained one, while watching the Soul Ancestor as the greatest threat.
• The formation’s dangerous light vanished, and Li Ze led the Cultivator Faction into the spacetime beyond it as five Dao Source Land Tokens appeared.
• Li Ze used the Chaos Bell’s power and his sword to shatter twisted spacetime, heavily injuring a World-level Source Expert caught by his attack.
• A metal-like World-level Source Expert threw black liquid at Li Ze, and it bound him and sharply slowed his advance.
• Li Ze deduced that the black liquid’s binding power would end once its energy ran out and repeatedly slashed at it.

Li Ze broke free from Jin Xing’s secret treasure and entered the spacetime where the Dao Source Land Tokens were being contested. He warned his faction about a mysterious Bug Beast-like figure and saw Yao Luo block Lord of Dongke from reaching another Token.

• Kuang He reached the Token area first and raced toward a Dao Source Land Token as more than a hundred experts pursued him.
• Li Ze freed himself from Jin Xing’s black torrents, chose the Token contested by Kuang He as his target, and decided to wait for an opening.
• Li Ze spotted a dangerous short Bug Beast-like figure approaching Kuang He and warned the Cultivator Faction’s experts to watch him.
• After entering the Token area, Li Ze saw Yao Luo attack Lord of Dongke and prevent him from advancing toward a Dao Source Land Token.
• Yao Luo declared that the Innate Source Being Faction would claim the Dark Ruin Realm’s opportunity and continued fighting Lord of Dongke.

Kuang He seized the Dao Source Land Token, but Illusion Cloud Emperor Monarch attacked him and forced him to sacrifice himself, throwing the Token toward the pursuing experts. Great Kunxu swallowed it and fled, while Li Ze appeared in his path to stop him.

• Kuang He broke the Token’s protective Mystic Patterns, claimed it, and learned that forty-nine Dao Source Land Tokens could grant entry to the Land of Source.
• As rival factions attacked Kuang He, Illusion Cloud Emperor Monarch used illusion arts to disrupt them and pursued Kuang He himself.
• Li Ze recognized Illusion Cloud Emperor Monarch as an ancient expert and rushed toward the fight to prevent him from taking the Token.
• Illusion Cloud Emperor Monarch overwhelmed Kuang He, who detonated himself and hurled the Token toward the crowd of World-level Source Experts.
• Great Kunxu swallowed the Token and fled through the barrage of attacks, but Li Ze appeared ahead of him and demanded that he leave it behind.

Li Ze arrived and joined forces with Illusion Cloud Emperor Monarch to overwhelm Great Kunxu and demand the Dao Source Land Token. Facing defeat, Great Kunxu threw the Token toward the other treasure-seekers to spark a melee, and the chapter ended as he attacked Illusion Cloud Emperor Monarch to keep him from claiming it.

• Li Ze confronted Great Kunxu, defeated his opening attacks, and demanded the Dao Source Land Token.
• Illusion Cloud Emperor Monarch arrived, and he and Li Ze agreed to join forces against Great Kunxu.
• Great Kunxu fought back with his trident and Nether Thorn Cold Poison, but Li Ze blocked the poison while their combined attacks severely injured him.
• More than two hundred World-class Source Experts gathered nearby as Great Kunxu threw the Dao Source Land Token toward them to create chaos.
• Illusion Cloud Emperor Monarch raced for the Token, but Great Kunxu attacked him with blue radiance to prevent him from taking it.
