Chapter Summaries

Xuan Weizi admitted that he had once coveted the Emperor Star but chose to help rather than force fate, and Chen Lin accepted his departure while warning that the dynasty welcomed challenges and true friends.

• Ling Tian asked about settling the newly annexed lands, allocating resources, and arranging defenses, and Weapon Master reported that the people and forces were prepared for war.

At midnight, a Great Heavenly Change transformed the Great World of Heavenly Fortune as its Spiritual Energy, laws, and landscape surged and new Great Domains began descending. The world then started expanding across all eight regions of the Great Yan Imperial Dynasty.

• Ling Tian announced that the change would begin at midnight, and the court prepared for the crisis.

As the Great World of Heavenly Fortune expanded from Eight Regions to Ten, the world barrier cracked and Void Turbulence threatened to erase everything. Ling Tian rallied the Eight Regions to raise a protective array, but after the world entered the open Boundless Void, he sensed beyond its barrier with grave concern.

• Ling Tian sensed the Great World of Heavenly Fortune moving into the open reaches of the Boundless Void as the array held back the turbulence.
• After an hour, the turbulence receded and the world began repairing itself, while Ling Tian extended his Spiritual Sense beyond the barrier into the Boundless Void.

Chen Lin blocked an investigation by the Qian Yuan Supreme Ranking as forces gathered outside the newly emerged Great World of Heavenly Fortune. The chapter ended with cultivators across the Boundless Void awaiting the ranking’s judgment.

• Scouts and forces from realms and factions across the Boundless Void gathered outside the world, then looked toward the Supreme Ranking.

Representatives from the myriad realms dismissed the Great Yan Imperial Dynasty’s defenses and attacked its array, prompting Ling Tian’s Imperial Projection to rise and defend the Ten Domains. The projection endured their first assault, but a Giant Demon General and a Purple Dipper cultivator launched stronger attacks against it.

• Observers from several realms judged the unchanged Supreme Ranking as proof that Great Yan was weak, while Jun Tianxia urged Yue Hengjiang and Si Chen to let the other factions make the first move.
• A Giant Demon General and a Purple Dipper cultivator called on more than ten factions to attack the defenses formed by the Mountain River State Cauldron Great Array.
• Fortune from across the Ten Domains gathered above the Imperial Capital, forming an Imperial Projection of Ling Tian that warned the attackers to stop.
• The representatives mocked the projection as an early-stage Heaven and Earth Great Venerable phantom and launched a combined assault.
• The projection withstood their attacks, so the Giant Demon General summoned a Demon God phantom to strike with its Heavenly Demon Fiend Claw while the Purple Dipper cultivator merged his Realm-Piercing Awls into purple lightning.

Ling Tian’s Imperial Projection was nearly overwhelmed by the combined attacks of more than a dozen Heaven and Earth Great Venerables. Chen Lin secretly strengthened it with fifteen strands of Law Origin Power, allowing it to withstand the assault and prepare a counterattack against the Giant Demon General.

Ling Tian’s Imperial Projection defeated ten early-stage Heaven and Earth Great Venerables before three notorious mid-stage Great Venerables arrived and attacked it together. As the projection began to falter, Chen Lin’s power emerged through it and invoked a Yin-Yang reversal.

• Ling Tian’s Imperial Projection declared the Great Yan Imperial Dynasty’s borders and defeated ten early-stage Heaven and Earth Great Venerables.

• The Imperial Projection raised its hands and invoked the Yin-Yang reversal, its words resonating through the World Origin.

Chen Lin used the Imperial Projection to unleash a restrained Yin Yang inversion that severely weakened Star River Ancestor and disrupted Void Master and Nine Bone Saber Emperor’s attacks. The Projection then shattered after Ling Tian claimed the Imperial Dynasty’s fortune was exhausted, leaving the three Venerables wary of attacking the apparently weakened barrier.

• Chen Lin used the Imperial Projection’s Yin Yang inversion to age Star River Ancestor, drain hundreds of millions of years from his lifespan, and force him to retreat.
• The Imperial Projection’s chaotic aura dissolved Void Master’s tentacles and bent aside Nine Bone Saber Emperor’s strikes, disrupting both Venerables’ powers.
• Onlookers, including Jun Tianxia and Black Fiend Heavenly Venerate, were stunned by the Projection’s power and wondered what force backed the Imperial Dynasty.
• Ling Tian pretended to be exhausted and announced that the Imperial Dynasty’s fortune could no longer sustain the Projection.
• The Imperial Projection shattered into golden specks that merged into the barrier, while Star River Ancestor, Void Master, and Nine Bone Saber Emperor hesitated to attack.

• Jun Tianxia ordered the Great Feng Sacred Dynasty to withdraw and seal the world’s spatial nodes, while other forces began forming an encirclement.
• The Star River Ancestor urged the gathered forces to exploit the apparent weakness of the Imperial Projection and wear down their target.
• Ling Tian watched the encirclement tighten, while Chen Lin calculated how to preserve his appearance of weakness and considered his trump cards.
• A chaotic figure emerged from the depths of the void and announced, “This world... I'll protect it.”
• The figure pressed a hand toward the void and unleashed a force of rejection and exile, telling the surrounding forces to leave.

The Lord of the Abyss intervened to protect the Great World of Heavenly Fortune, driving back the forces gathered to invade it. Jun Tianxia ordered the Great Feng Sacred Dynasty to withdraw, leaving the Lord of the Abyss guarding the barrier.

• Jun Tianxia watched the retreating forces and ordered the Great Feng Sacred Dynasty to withdraw.

After the Great Feng Sacred Dynasty’s forces withdrew, Xuan Weizi and the Lord of the Abyss secretly entered the Great Yan Imperial Dynasty, while ancient Divine Senses awoke to the upheaval. The Lord of the Abyss confronted Ling Tian and revealed that he had sensed several hidden powers within the dynasty, including the true powerhouse behind Chen Lin’s strike.

• The Great Feng Sacred Dynasty’s battle formation retreated, and Xuan Weizi wondered whether the Void Tribulation Crossing Realm’s powerhouses were distracted by the Myriad Mother Qi Root.

• Xuan Weizi revealed that the Immortal Realm opened once every hundred thousand years, offering great opportunities but harboring the Void God Race, and said it might be connected to the Supreme Ranking.
• Chen Lin descended into the Imperial Palace, and the Lord of the Abyss’s attempt to probe him found only unfathomable emptiness.
• Chen Lin asked why the Lord of the Abyss had protected the Great Yan Imperial Dynasty, and the Lord explained that Forbidden Zone sovereigns were law-born beings dependent on their zones.

The Lord of the Abyss offered to ally with the Great Yan Imperial Dynasty, hoping Chen Lin might eventually use Invert Yin Yang to make him a true living being. Xuan Weizi explained the Origin Dao Seed and warned that hidden supreme powers could threaten the revived Great World of Heavenly Fortune over the Emperor Star.

Chen Lin agreed to ally the Great Yan Imperial Dynasty with the Disorder Abyss and promised to help the Lord of the Abyss achieve a True Spirit Body in the future.

• The Lord of the Abyss told Ling Tian that the Immortal Realm would open again in a year, and both he and Xuan Weizi departed.

Chen Lin discovered that the Ancestral Soul Refining Heavenly Technique could create seeds from his Law Bodies and connect them to the weakened World Origin, potentially letting him control the Great World of Heavenly Fortune. He decided to test the technique in the Void Tribulation Crossing Realm using a clone and summoned the Black Fiend Heavenly Venerate as his guide.

• Chen Lin circulated the Ancestral Soul Refining Heavenly Technique, causing his Myriad Heavens Furnace and fifteen Law Bodies to resonate and produce strange seeds.
