Chapter Summaries

Lin Qingyu and King Wu used explosions from the damaged Wu King Palace to slow Shi Ling and Tian Can while concealing a trap inside the sealing Formation. As the God Kings closed in on the exposed Future Hall, Lin Qingyu began the next step of their plan.

• King Wu and Lin Qingyu watched the Wu King Palace's exploding components hinder Shi Ling and Tian Can as hidden Path of Life and other Secret Patterns evolved throughout the battlefield.
• Shi Ling and Tian Can pursued the Wu King Palace into their sealing Formation, while King Wu detonated more of its structure to propel it forward.
• The Wu King Palace failed to break through the Formation, but it used further explosions to evade Shi Ling and Tian Can as they shrank the Formation around it.
• The Wu King Palace dwindled to broken walls and ruins, revealing the Future Hall and spurring Shi Ling and Tian Can to accelerate their pursuit.
• Lin Qingyu announced that the trap was ready, and King Wu sent a Secret Method into Lin Qingyu's Avatar, which dispersed as ripples throughout the Formation.

Lin Qingyu and Zuo Shank met on the Origin Continent and chose the Vast Illusory Sea as the place to temper Lin Qingyu’s will.

Lin Qingyu and Zuo Shank entered Vast Illusory Sea City, where Lin Qingyu studied its layered Illusory Spaces and the transformation of illusions into reality. After testing how energy was spent passing between layers and gathering information from residents, Lin Qingyu deduced the principle behind the city’s materialized treasures as they reached the millionth layer.

He failed to create a Universe God-level space but stabilized a Chaos Master-level one, discovered how illusory treasures could become real, and headed deeper into the Vast Illusory Sea.
