Ch. 1081All Beings Join Forces

Summary: “All Beings Join Forces”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • The entire world senses the arrival of Azure Cloud Li Family ancestor Li Yaowen and the overwhelming power of his sixteen invincible clones. Their confrontation with Heavenly Dao Li Xiang illuminates the skies over Eastern Yi and shakes the world.
  • In the Immortal Tomb, the surviving members of the old Immortal Court—including Immortal Emperor Zhang Baijie—observe the conflict. Their group has been demoralized since its defeat ten thousand years earlier, having failed to escape the world or resist the Heavenly Dao and the Thirteen Ancient Sages.
  • Zhang Baijie finally urges the immortals to fight. His question—“Can you still fight?”—rekindles their courage, hatred, and desire for freedom.
  • Zhang explains that the battle between the Heavenly Dao and the Ancient Sages is the culmination of their long struggle for control of the Immortal Realm. The Heavenly Dao prepared the human world as a weapon against the sages, while the sages cultivated Li Yaowen’s clones as weapons against the Heavenly Dao.
  • Before the immortals can act, more than a thousand survivors from various races arrive at the Immortal Tomb, led by figures such as Zishu Feng, Ximing, and the Witch Ancestor. They seek an alliance because escaping the world is now their only chance of survival.
  • Although the old immortals initially look down on these newer powers, Zhang Baijie suppresses their arrogance and accepts the necessity of cooperation. Old racial divisions and ancient grudges have largely disappeared under the threat of the apocalypse.
  • Zishu Lingtian raises concern about the Azure Cloud Li Family, whose members have spent ten thousand years absorbing resources and increasing their strength. The survivors fear that the family may now be even more dangerous than before.
  • As the alliance forms, Heavenly Dao Li Xiang and Li Yaowen’s clones finally begin their full-scale battle. Their clash spreads across the world, annihilating everything touched by their power.
  • A mysterious passage appears within the spatial disturbances around Eastern Yi. It creates a strange spiritual connection, and several immortals realize that they may have originated there or awakened from it, hinting at the deeper source of immortals and the world’s origins.

Character Developments

  • Zhang Baijie regains his determination and leadership. After ten thousand years of defeat and despair, he recognizes that the immortals need someone to direct their anger and becomes the commander of a renewed resistance.
  • The ancient immortals move from resignation and fear to collective battle intent. Their suffering under the Heavenly Dao transforms into a desire for justice and liberation.
  • Zishu Feng, Zishu Lingtian, Ximing, and the Witch Ancestor demonstrate that the newer races and survivors have matured beyond their former prejudices. They willingly seek cooperation with their former enemies.
  • Chen Mo expresses deep hatred toward the forces controlling the world and a desire to fight, though his confidence weakens when the possible threat of the Azure Cloud Li Family is discussed.
  • The Azure Cloud Li Family is portrayed as an increasingly ominous force. Their long period of cultivation and assimilation of stolen power suggests that they may now rival or surpass the other major factions.

Significant Themes

  • Unity in the face of catastrophe: Ancient enemies abandon racial and personal conflicts because survival requires cooperation.
  • Resistance against oppression: The immortals’ rage reflects their long history of being manipulated, suppressed, and exploited by the Heavenly Dao and the Ancient Sages.
  • The cyclical struggle for power: The Heavenly Dao and the Ancient Sages have spent ages using one another—and the mortal world—as weapons in their contest for control.
  • Hope after defeat: Zhang Baijie’s call to battle marks a shift from despair to renewed purpose.
  • The mystery of origins: The passage in Eastern Yi and the immortals’ memories suggest that the true origin of immortals may be connected to a hidden realm or source beyond the current world.

Character Interactions

  • Zhang Baijie’s exchange with Wanrong reveals the immortals’ uncertainty and suppressed despair; his challenge to fight reignites their spirit.
  • Chen Mo and Hua Ji openly voice their motivations—vengeance and the desire to return home—while the other immortals join in their anger.
  • Zhang Baijie explains the larger political conflict between the Heavenly Dao and the Ancient Sages, giving the immortals a clear reason to act.
  • The old immortals and the newer survivors confront one another suspiciously, but Zhang prevents contempt from destroying the possibility of cooperation.
  • Zishu Lingtian’s warning about the Azure Cloud Li Family introduces tension within the alliance, while Chen Mo tries unsuccessfully to reassure the group.
  • The beginning of the battle between Li Xiang and Li Yaowen interrupts the alliance’s preparations and reveals the mysterious passage that may connect all immortals to a common origin.

Ch. 1082The Gate to the World Core

Chapter Summary: The Gate to the World Core

Key Plot Points and Events

  • The battle in Eastern Yi intensifies between the sixteen clones of Li Yaowen and Li Xiang, who has been reduced to a puppet controlled by Heavenly Dao Prophet.
  • The clones realize the horrifying truth of the Heavenly Dao: both Heavenly Dao Prophet and Li Xiang are now bound to the Immortal Realm itself. As long as the world survives, neither can be completely destroyed.
  • Li Xiang uses his powerful time technique, “One Thought,” to freeze the battlefield and kill one of the clones. The sacrificed clone’s power is distributed among the survivors, making them progressively stronger and harder to defeat.
  • Li Xiang’s attacks devastate the mortal world. Space collapses into black holes, mountains and rocks float into the sky, spiritual energy becomes oppressive, and countless ordinary beings and cultivators die from the battle’s aftershocks.
  • The struggle continues for three years. By the time other powerful cultivators arrive, Li Xiang and the remaining nine clones have disappeared, leaving Eastern Yi and much of the world in ruins.
  • A massive opening appears in the Dao Gate Mountains, revealing a passage that may lead to the place where immortals were born and destroyed—the World Core.
  • The surviving cultivators infer that the World Core contains the rules of the world and may allow its possessor to control or alter them.
  • Six surviving Ancient Sages, including Lady Rong and Rotten Axe Elder, reveal that they had been waiting for the world to collapse so the World Core would become exposed.
  • The Ancient Sages’ true goal is exposed: they intend to seize the World Core and become the new Heavenly Dao, gaining eternal existence.
  • As conflict threatens to erupt between the surviving cultivators and the Ancient Sages, a mysterious presence emerges from the cave. A sword scrapes against the ground, and an unseen figure warns that the area is the Li Family Forbidden Grounds and that intruders will be killed.

Character Developments

  • Lin Meng and the clones: Their affection and reverence for Li Xiang become complicated by the revelation that he has become Heavenly Dao’s puppet and the world’s “mortal vessel.” Lin Meng grows more determined to replace or suppress him, believing the clones have surpassed the ancient sages.
  • Li Xiang: Though stripped of his memories and individuality, he retains his extraordinary combat instincts and decisive fighting style. His mastery of time, space, and the Great Dao makes him an almost unstoppable weapon for Heavenly Dao Prophet.
  • Heavenly Dao Prophet: Its control over Li Xiang demonstrates the extent of its power. It uses the world itself as a source of inexhaustible energy and treats Li Xiang as an instrument for eliminating the clones.
  • The surviving clones: Each death strengthens the remaining clones as their power and spiritual energy are transferred among them. Their resistance becomes increasingly formidable, despite their fear of Li Xiang.
  • Zhang Baijie and the other surviving cultivators: They arrive after the battle and begin shifting their focus from the destruction in Eastern Yi to the newly revealed World Core.
  • Rotten Axe Elder and the Ancient Sages: They are revealed to have manipulated events by waiting for the right moment to enter the World Core. Their objective is not escape, but replacing Heavenly Dao and becoming eternal rulers of the world.
  • The mysterious cave guardian: A new, unidentified figure appears at the end of the chapter, claiming the cave as Li Family territory and threatening all trespassers.

Significant Themes

  • The inseparability of world and ruler: Heavenly Dao is not merely an external god but is physically and spiritually bound to the Immortal Realm. Destroying it requires destroying the world itself.
  • Identity and loss of autonomy: Li Xiang’s transformation into a puppet shows the extreme consequence of losing one’s memories and will while retaining one’s power.
  • Power born from sacrifice: The clones become stronger as one of their number dies, turning death into both a tragedy and a means of survival.
  • The cost of cosmic conflict: The battle between higher beings destroys ordinary life, emphasizing how insignificant mortal existence appears to forces operating at the level of worlds and laws.
  • Ambition for immortality and control: The Ancient Sages seek the World Core not to save the world but to become its new Heavenly Dao, revealing that their desire for survival is also a desire for absolute power.
  • The hidden foundation of reality: The World Core represents the deepest source of the world’s laws and raises the possibility that the existing order can be rewritten.
  • Unresolved inheritance and authority: The final warning invokes the Li family, suggesting that the World Core may belong to an older power or lineage and that the current contenders may have entered territory they do not understand.

Character Interactions

  • Lin Meng confronts the controlled Li Xiang, claiming that she and the clones can eventually replace him.
  • Li Xiang dismisses Lin Meng’s confidence and attacks the clones with overwhelming precision.
  • The surviving cultivators gather at the ruined Dao Gate Mountains and debate the nature and importance of the underground passage.
  • Rotten Axe Elder openly explains the Ancient Sages’ plan, confirming their rivalry with both Heavenly Dao Prophet and the living beings of the world.
  • A Dragon Clan descendant begs Yinglong for protection, but Yinglong ignores the plea, demonstrating the Ancient Sages’ detachment from their descendants.
  • Zhang Baijie recognizes that the Ancient Sages’ true goal is to become the new Heavenly Dao.
  • The chapter ends with an unknown guardian confronting both sides, immediately challenging their assumption that the World Core is theirs to claim.

Ch. 1083The Last Seven Li Family Members in the Immortal Domain

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Li Yaozu emerges from the World Core cave, issuing the command “Kill without mercy!” His overwhelming, tangible killing intent terrifies everyone present, including the six Ancient Sages.
  • The other six surviving members of the Azure Cloud Li Family follow him out. These are the final seven survivors of the tens of thousands who fought the Heavenly Dao Prophet ten thousand years earlier.
  • Each survivor displays an extraordinary and unsettling presence:
    • Li Yaozu carries a sword and radiates immense murderous intent.
    • A whisk-wielding man appears almost nonexistent, accompanied by a cat.
    • A short woman wielding an iron staff releases immense strength.
    • A cold-eyed archer carries a longbow and possesses terrifying precision.
    • A short, wealthy-looking man carries a money bag.
    • An elderly sage bears a Nine-Story Iron Pagoda.
    • A carefree man carries an enormous spear.
  • Their realms cannot be calculated even by the Thirteen Ancient Sages. Their presence suggests that they have grown even more powerful during their ten-thousand-year disappearance.
  • When Zishu Feng demands to know what lies inside the cave, the archer answers with a single arrow. The attack freezes time and pierces through Zishu Lingtian’s hand despite his Law of [Eternity], then kills five other cultivators and immortals.
  • Li Yaozu warns everyone: “Those who trespass will die!” The assembled forces are too frightened to challenge the seven directly.
  • Rotten Axe Elder retrieves the arrow. It is made from an unknown creature’s bone and carries an aura that belongs to neither immortal, Dao, nor shamanic arts.
  • Cong Yuandu uses the Law of [Death] to reveal the creature’s final memories. It came from a dark universe inhabited by advanced civilizations and had traveled toward the Immortal Realm after sensing its immense spiritual energy.
  • The vision reveals that the Immortal Realm is an enormous floating world in the universe. The battles between Li Xiang and the Heavenly Dao Prophet disturbed the wider cosmos and drew countless beings toward it.
  • Instead of finding safety—or the Heavenly Dao Prophet—the arriving creatures encountered the seven surviving Li Family members standing at the Immortal Realm’s gates.

Character Developments

  • Li Yaozu has transformed into an almost unrecognizable killing machine. His previously restrained nature has been replaced by overwhelming, openly expressed bloodlust, suggesting years of unimaginable combat or exposure to something beyond the known world.
  • The six other Li Family survivors are portrayed as beings beyond ordinary cultivation classifications. Their powers and auras are so strange that even Ancient Sages cannot calculate their destinies.
  • The archer establishes herself as especially dangerous through her effortless destruction of multiple powerful opponents. Her attack demonstrates that her true strength lies not in spectacle but in absolute control over time, space, and death.
  • Zhang Baijie recognizes the severity of the situation and understands that the seven have become even stronger than they were before their disappearance.
  • Zishu Feng becomes the first direct challenger and is immediately overwhelmed, while Zishu Lingtian—despite possessing [Eternity]—is unable to neutralize the archer’s arrow.
  • Rotten Axe Elder and Cong Yuandu temporarily cooperate because they share the goal of entering the World Core cave, showing that the threat posed by the Li Family overrides existing divisions.

Significant Themes

  • The unknown beyond the Immortal Realm: The chapter expands the setting from a conflict among immortals into a cosmic struggle involving alien worlds, civilizations, and beings outside established systems of cultivation.
  • Power beyond comprehension: The seven survivors cannot be measured by ordinary laws, realms, or fate calculations, emphasizing that they have crossed the limits of known existence.
  • The cost of survival and war: Their immense killing intent implies that surviving the battle against the Heavenly Dao Prophet came at the cost of countless lives and profound transformation.
  • Territory and forbidden knowledge: The World Core cave becomes a forbidden zone guarded by the seven. Their warning establishes that the truth within is worth killing to protect.
  • The Immortal Realm as a cosmic beacon: The realm’s spiritual energy and the phenomenon of “all beings ascending” attract life from across the universe, suggesting that the current conflict has universal consequences.
  • The limits of established laws: Even concepts such as [Eternity], [Death], and [Fate] prove insufficient against the powers and mysteries represented by the seven survivors.

Character Interactions

  • Zhang Baijie and Zishu Feng openly recognize that Li Yaozu is no longer the person they once knew.
  • The Ancient Sages attempt to calculate the seven survivors but fail, reinforcing the gap between them and the Li Family.
  • Zishu Feng directly challenges the group by asking Li Yaozu what lies within the cave; the archer responds violently instead of speaking.
  • Zishu Lingtian attempts to stop the arrow using [Eternity], but the attack pierces his hand and resists his regenerative power.
  • Li Yaozu delivers the final warning, silencing the entire assembly.
  • Rotten Axe Elder risks approaching the frozen aftermath of the arrow, while Cong Yuandu joins him to investigate its origin.
  • Through Cong Yuandu’s vision, the characters—and the reader—learn that the seven Li Family survivors may not merely be guarding the Immortal Realm from its inhabitants, but from the countless beings now approaching it from across the universe.

Ch. 1084Guarding the Beyond for Ten Thousand Years!

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • The Heavenly Dao, identical to Li Xiang, observes events from above through avatars and focuses on the concept of evolution. It realizes that evolution is not limited to the Immortal Realm: the wider universe and its countless worlds have also developed and produced increasingly powerful beings.
  • Cong Yuandu presents Zhang Baijie with a bone from an external creature. Its Body Integration Realm strength, spatial power, and savage aura reveal that beings beyond the world have evolved along a different but equally formidable cultivation path.
  • Lady Rong and Rotten Axe Elder explain that many worlds once consumed or threatened by the Immortal Realm’s power escaped, evolved independently, and eventually produced powerful beings. Because the Immortal Realm has been weakened by repeated conflicts and internal plundering, the universe’s forces now sense an opportunity to invade it.
  • The external forces are described as launching a “punitive expedition” against the weakened Immortal Realm. Nascent Soul-level beings can travel through space, allowing them to locate and approach this world.
  • The immediate obstacle, however, is not the invading universe but the seven members of the Azure Cloud Li Family. For ten thousand years, they have guarded the passage to the World Core while fighting endless battles against beings from beyond the universe.
  • The Ancient Sages and other powerful factions decide that the cavern leading to the World Core is essential. They want to control it, prevent the Li Family from leaving, and keep the Immortal Realm’s secrets from reaching the outside universe.
  • The seven Li Family members, despite being visibly exhausted, refuse to yield. Their dialogue shows that they remain confident enough to defeat or kill the approaching forces.
  • Li Yaozu ultimately attacks first. He kills a Heavenly Immortal and simultaneously disables the Immortal Realms and Dao Fields of roughly twenty nearby cultivators, announcing the return of the Sword Ancestor after ten thousand years of slaughter.

Character Developments

  • Li Xiang/the Heavenly Dao becomes more detached and philosophical, recognizing that the true threat is not merely internal conflict but the evolution of the entire universe beyond its control.
  • Lady Rong demonstrates heightened awareness through her [Years] ability. She understands that the Immortal Realm has underestimated the wider universe and urges caution, especially concerning the consequences of leaving their world.
  • Zishu Feng realizes that her father’s dream of conquering the universe was based on a truth far larger than she had understood. She also becomes increasingly wary of Zishu Lingtian’s potentially tyrannical attitude.
  • Zishu Lingtian has overcome the time-freezing ice crystal through [Eternity] and retains his [Karma] saber. He shows compassion toward the seven Li Family members but declares that he will show no mercy to everyone else.
  • The seven Li Family guardians are revealed as hardened veterans rather than ordinary cultivators. Ten thousand years of fighting have made them powerful, pragmatic, and accustomed to constant violence.
    • Li Chuxiu is exhausted but still lighthearted.
    • Li Yuanshang approaches the crisis like a negotiation, analyzing the factions’ motives.
    • Li Changyao is eager to fight and confident in his arrows.
    • Li Yunlin warns against underestimating the Ancient Sages.
    • Li Kuanghua is still adjusting to her immense power.
    • Li Jianning seeks to test himself against an Ancient Sage and honor his deceased master.
    • Li Yaozu embodies the grim transformation caused by ten thousand years of warfare, abandoning hesitation and acting decisively.

Significant Themes

  • Evolution and adaptation: The chapter expands the concept of evolution beyond the Immortal Realm, showing that distant worlds and their inhabitants have also grown stronger through conflict and survival.
  • The danger of isolation and arrogance: The Immortal Realm’s inhabitants assumed themselves superior because they had consumed weaker worlds, but this dominance allowed other civilizations to evolve beyond their expectations.
  • Cycles of Devouring and slaughter: The universe is portrayed as governed by predation rather than morality. The Li Family has survived by becoming as ruthless as the environment they guarded against.
  • Power and control: The Ancient Sages want access to the World Core and intend to monopolize the Immortal Realm’s secrets, while the Li Family stands between them and escape.
  • Duty versus morality: Li Yaozu’s memories show that the Li Family knowingly accepted the role of bloodstained weapons. Their long struggle raises questions about whether protecting the world justifies endless killing.
  • Generational burden: The seven guardians inherit their ancestor’s mission and eventually come to understand the immense burden he carried since the beginning of the world.
  • Conflict between unity and factionalism: Even with an external cosmic threat approaching, the inhabitants remain divided by ambition, fear, and distrust.

Character Interactions

  • Zhang Baijie, Zishu Feng, Lady Rong, and Rotten Axe Elder jointly interpret the external bone and gradually understand the scale of the universe’s evolution.
  • Zishu Feng and Lady Rong contrast Zishu Lingtian’s aggressive attitude with the need for restraint; Feng privately judges him as dangerously tyrannical.
  • Lady Rong secretly coordinates with the Ancient Sages, encouraging them to prevent the Li Family and other immortals from reaching the outside world.
  • Wanrong openly challenges the Li Family by preparing the Nirvana Armor and World-Destroying Spear, framing the cavern as the only viable path beyond the world.
  • Zishu Lingtian expresses reluctance to fight his “seven brothers and sisters,” revealing an emotional bond despite the deep conflict between their factions.
  • Within the Li Family, the members exchange teasing, tactical observations, and challenges, showing both their familial closeness and their battle-hardened confidence.
  • Li Yaozu’s final attack ends the discussion and demonstrates the vast gap between the exhausted guardians and the forces attempting to pass them.

Ch. 1085The Immortal Way

Chapter Summary: Immortal Way

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Li Yaozu launches a sudden, devastating attack with [Zero Point], piercing both a Heavenly Immortal and the Immortal Realm itself. His strike shocks everyone because it comes without warning and demonstrates extraordinary precision and resolve.

    • Li Changyao fires an arrow at Rotten Axe Elder that freezes time and space.
    • Li Chuxiu uses his enormous Spirit Gun to destroy the dao field of a Body Integration cultivator.

    • Li Kuanghua unleashes her Three Buddhist Aspects, overwhelming the battlefield with a vast Buddha-Demon manifestation and illusion-like tentacles.
    • Li Jianning uses the Spirit Bestowal Technique, creating afterimages and preparing a powerful attack against the saints.
  • The battle’s shockwaves devastate the mortal world. Spatial cracks, thunderbolts, floods, blizzards, and other heavenly disasters spread across the land, creating a worldwide calamity.

  • Li Xinnian and Nangong Qingya arrive. Li Xinnian calmly visits Su Chen, criticizing his cowardice and revealing that he is not worried about the Li Family’s battle.
  • The cultivation simulator explains the source of the family’s overwhelming strength: they have spent tens of thousands of years fighting cosmic beings beyond the Immortal Realm, absorbing vast power and developing perfect battlefield coordination.
  • The seven family members gained the trait World Guardian, granting them increased combat power and reduced damage within the Immortal Realm’s range.
  • Li Yaozu also developed Infinite Swordsman and mastered the Great Dao of Zero Point, allowing him to understand and counter any type of energy.
  • Their greatest breakthrough is the Immortal Way, a power beyond ordinary laws and tribulations. It combines the techniques, powers, and insights of countless species and cultivation systems without being restricted by the Heavenly Dao.
  • During the continuing battle, Rotten Axe Elder attempts to control Li Jianning with his power of Fate, but the attack passes through a false body. Li Jianning’s Spirit Bestowal Technique destroys Elder’s techniques, and Li Jianning identifies the mysterious power as the Immortal Way.

Character Developments

  • The Azure Cloud Li Family is shown to have transformed from powerful cultivators into seasoned cosmic warriors. Their individual abilities now function together with near-perfect coordination.
  • Li Chuxiu, once regarded as insignificant by Li Chuyuan, proves capable of threatening high-level cultivators. This humiliates Li Chuyuan, who realizes he has fallen far behind someone he once despised.
  • Li Jianning demonstrates that his apparently youthful age and gentle appearance conceal immense power. His Spirit Bestowal Technique operates beyond the understanding of contemporary cultivators.
  • Li Xinnian appears confident and composed, implying that he understands the Li Family’s true strength and believes they can survive the confrontation with the Ancient Sages.
  • Su Chen remains fearful and hesitant. He recognizes the Li Family’s power but lacks the courage to participate in the larger conflict.
  • Nangong Qingya remains loyal to Li Xinnian while understanding his resentment toward Su Chen and the possibility that he might kill their former elder brother.

Significant Themes

  • Power forged through endurance: The Li Family’s strength comes not simply from talent, but from tens of thousands of years of continuous combat, adaptation, and suffering.
  • Breaking beyond established limits: The Immortal Way represents a higher stage of existence that surpasses conventional laws, tribulations, and Heavenly Dao restrictions.
  • Family unity and coordination: The seven Li descendants fight as a seamless group, suggesting that collective understanding can elevate individual abilities into something far greater.
  • Cowardice versus resolve: Li Yaozu’s calm attack contrasts sharply with Su Chen’s fear and inaction. The chapter presents courage and decisive action as essential qualities in the face of cosmic catastrophe.
  • The mortal world as collateral damage: The battle among supreme beings causes disasters across the entire world, emphasizing the destructive consequences of power detached from ordinary life.
  • Evolution through the unknown: By fighting beings from different power systems and the wider universe, the Li Family gains insights impossible to obtain within the limits of the Immortal Realm.

Character Interactions

  • Su Chen describes the distant battle to Li Chuyuan, deepening Li Chuyuan’s shame over his inferiority to Li Chuxiu.

Ch. 1086They're All Here

Chapter Summary: “They’re All Here”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Li Jianning reflects on the Azure Cloud Li Family’s ten thousand years of warfare beyond the Immortal Realm. Their battles included invasions by advanced civilizations, planet-controlling “gods,” vast fleets, and the powerful Psionic Cultivator Starfield Alliance.
  • These wars transformed the seven Li Family members and Old Cat, allowing them to develop powers beyond the Immortal Realm’s established laws and Great Daos:
    • Li Kuanghua gained the power of thousands of stars after killing and devouring a Mahayana-level emperor.
    • Li Yuanshang combined Balance and Protection with black-hole principles, using money to resist nearly any energy.
    • Li Chuxiu developed “Collapse,” compressing enormous mana into bullets.

    • Old Cat used Litian Hall to absorb the origins of destroyed worlds and aid Li Yunlin’s studies.
  • The gathered Ancient Sages, immortals, and cultivators are initially terrified by the Li Family’s unfamiliar powers and their effortless slaughter of enemies. However, fear quickly turns into greed as they realize the family may possess knowledge or power from beyond the Immortal Realm.
  • Li Yaozu recognizes that the Li Family cannot easily defeat all the Ancient Sages and Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals. Their earlier victories relied partly on surprise, and their opponents remain extraordinarily powerful.
  • Zhang Baijie and Wanrong attack the cave entrance, determined to reach the world core. Other immortals and living beings follow, abandoning caution and throwing themselves into the battle.
  • Lady Rong attacks the massed forces with the River of Time, while Zishu Feng blocks her and Yinglong. Zishu Lingtian and Ximing lead more cultivators toward the cave.
  • The battlefield descends into total chaos. Laws, tribulations, Immortal Realms, and countless powers overlap, making it impossible to distinguish friend from foe. Even the Li Family becomes overwhelmed by the sheer number of attackers.
  • Li Yunlin traps an Ancient Sage within his giant form, but the Sage remains confident that seven people cannot stop the invasion.

Character Developments

  • The seven Li Family members have evolved from powerful cultivators into beings capable of challenging cosmic civilizations, though they discover that the Immortal Realm’s strongest experts still pose a serious threat.
  • Li Yaozu remains the family’s strategist and central defender. His abilities allow him to perceive weaknesses and manage combat, but even his Zero Point technique becomes inadequate amid the chaotic mass battle.
  • Li Kuanghua demonstrates overwhelming destructive power, though the family realizes that even her star-level attacks cannot easily defeat Ancient Sages.
  • Li Yuanshang is forced into retreat despite his defensive abilities, emphasizing the danger of being surrounded by overwhelming numbers.

  • Nangong Qingya returns alongside Li Xinnian, reinforcing the arrival of additional allies.
  • Zhang Baijie, Wanrong, Zishu Lingtian, and the other cultivators abandon restraint, driven by greed and desperation to reach the world core.

Significant Themes

  • Fear of the unknown: The Immortal Realm’s strongest figures realize that their understanding of reality is limited and that powers beyond the Great Daos exist.
  • Greed overcoming fear: Terror at the Li Family’s abilities quickly becomes desire. The promise of discovering a greater secret drives everyone into reckless action.
  • The limits of power: Despite ten thousand years of cosmic warfare and immense new abilities, the Li Family cannot effortlessly dominate the Ancient Sages.
  • Chaos and loss of control: The battle becomes so vast that even the strongest combatants cannot distinguish allies from enemies or control the battlefield.
  • Beyond the established order: The Li Family’s “Immortal Way” represents new paths that transcend the Immortal Realm’s traditional laws, challenging the assumption that the Great Daos are the universe’s ultimate powers.
  • Reinforcements and reversal: Li Xinnian’s arrival marks a sudden shift in momentum, suggesting that the battle is entering a new phase.

  • Li Yunlin traps an Ancient Sage, who mocks the Li Family’s inability to stop the invasion before suddenly becoming distracted by the appearance of the sun.

Ch. 1087Final Villain

Chapter Summary: “Final Villain”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • After ten thousand years in a secret realm, Li Xinri has transformed into a Mahayana-level Great Sun Golden Crow. He protected more than three million beings, gained their faith, and cultivated the laws of Sun, World Purification, and Protection.
  • Although Xinri had withdrawn from the Azure Cloud Li Family and regarded himself as a guardian deity, Li Xinnian’s challenge forces him to confront the war involving his family. By invoking Xinri’s responsibilities as both a father and a son, Xinnian persuades him to join the battle.
  • Xinri unleashes purifying flames over the battlefield and declares that he will walk the path alongside Li Xinnian.
  • Zishu Feng attacks Li Xinnian with formations and five golden dragons, but Xinnian effortlessly absorbs and corrupts them, turning them into demonic black dragons under his control.
  • Zishu Feng realizes that Xinnian has devoured powerful former enemies, including Ban Shu Qingping, gaining her laws of World and Oblivion, as well as other abilities through consuming ancient geniuses.
  • The narration reveals Xinnian’s terrifying history: he devoured many exceptional cultivators during the ancient conflict, cultivated the dangerous Nine Tribulations path, and eventually completed the Mahayana ritual.
  • Xinnian obtains the trait Final Villain, which causes him to appear as the ultimate mastermind and final enemy to anyone opposing him, regardless of his actual intentions.
  • Rotten Axe Elder accuses Xinnian of plotting for ten thousand years and preparing to destroy everyone in one stroke. Xinnian offers no defense and instead summons his hidden allies.
  • The Heavenly Secrets Three Thieves appear, along with the grotesque Li Tianyi, the array master Li Tianqi, and other members of the Li Family. Their arrival provokes immediate attacks from the immortals, who remember their past crimes.
  • The family members reveal the extraordinary powers they developed over ten thousand years:
    • Li Tianyi became the Heavenly Net Corpse Ancestor by stitching together powerful immortal corpses.
    • Li Tianming created the polluted Filth Legion, which strengthens him and forms a new race under his command.
    • Li Tianqi developed the End-Dharma Compendium, mastering the world’s great arrays and deploying more than a thousand array disks.
  • The chapter ends with Yinglong accusing Li Xinnian of attempting to trap everyone in a single net, confirming the battlefield’s growing suspicion that Xinnian has orchestrated the entire confrontation.

Character Developments

  • Li Xinri evolves from a conflicted, isolated guardian into an active participant in the Li Family’s struggle. His love for his daughter, respect for his father, and fear of disappointing them overcome his reluctance to act.
  • Li Xinnian is established as an overwhelmingly powerful and morally ambiguous figure. His ability to devour others has made him terrifying, but his silence suggests that he either accepts the villainous image or sees explanations as pointless.
  • Zishu Feng shifts from confidence to shock after discovering the scale of Xinnian’s abilities.
  • Li Tianqi demonstrates both humor and maturity. Despite feeling unfairly blamed for his family’s crimes, he confidently uses his perfected array arts against the ancient immortals.
  • Li Tianyi and Li Tianming have transformed into monstrous leaders of powerful forces, reflecting the Li Family’s increasingly extreme methods.
  • The Li Family as a whole has become far more formidable—and far more hated—during the ten-thousand-year interval.

Significant Themes

  • Duty versus withdrawal: Xinri’s peaceful isolation cannot survive when family obligations and moral responsibility call him back to war.
  • Reputation versus reality: Xinnian is treated as the ultimate villain because of his history and aura, even though his motives are not fully explained. His trait makes others interpret him as the mastermind behind every disaster.
  • Power through consumption: Xinnian and several other Li Family members gain strength by devouring, fusing with, or corrupting others, raising questions about whether immense power inevitably destroys morality.
  • Family loyalty and inherited responsibility: Characters act because of their relationships to parents, children, teachers, and clan members, even when they disagree with the family’s actions.
  • The consequences of history: The Li Family’s past crimes continue to shape present alliances, provoking hatred from ancient immortals and all races.
  • Transformation and monstrosity: The family’s long cultivation has turned many members into literal or metaphorical monsters, blurring the boundary between salvation and destruction.

Important Character Interactions

  • Li Xinnian and Li Xinri: Xinnian manipulates Xinri through emotional appeals to his daughter and father, successfully convincing him to abandon neutrality and join the war.
  • Li Xinnian and Zishu Feng: Her formation attack is absorbed and repurposed by Xinnian, demonstrating the huge gap between their powers and reinforcing her fear of him.
  • Li Xinnian and Rotten Axe Elder: Rotten Axe openly accuses him of plotting the entire conflict. Xinnian refuses to explain himself, allowing the accusation to stand.
  • Li Xinnian and the Heavenly Secrets Three Thieves: Xinnian summons them as hidden reinforcements, revealing that his strength is supported by a much larger and more dangerous network.
  • The Li Family and the ancient immortals: Their past attacks and thefts have made them common enemies. The immortals immediately target them, while the Li Family responds with arrays, corpse techniques, demonic powers, and polluted forces.
  • Li Tianqi and the attacking immortals: Tianqi blocks Gong Emperor’s divine thunder with his turtle shell and layered arrays, proving that he is no longer the weak formation specialist he once was.

Ch. 1088The Heavenly Dao Prophet's Final Trump Card

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • The Heavenly Secrets Three Thieves and the Iron Gate Seven join Li Xinnian in the battle, forming the powerful Eternal Black Dragon. Alongside Li Tianqi’s End-Dharma Compendium, Li Tianyi’s rotten form, and Li Tianming’s Pollution, they overwhelm the battlefield and demonstrate strength far beyond their former selves.
  • The returning Azure Cloud Li Family members and their descendants begin fighting together again. The long-standing estrangement between the older and younger generations softens as they recognize their shared struggle and losses.
  • Li Yaozu guards the cave entrance while observing the World Core. Inside are decaying cocoons associated with the Ancient Immortal Sect and newly forming cocoons containing the souls and potential reincarnations of Azure Cloud Li Family members who died ten thousand years earlier.
  • Deep within the World Core, their ancestor remains trapped and weakened. Li Yaozu realizes that the ancestor likely lost his struggle against the Heavenly Dao, though his soul continues to endure.
  • Beyond the world, the Old Tree—called the World Tree of the Immortal Realm—continues battling countless cosmic beings summoned by the Heavenly Dao. The tree is nearing its limit.
  • Li Yuanshang explains to Li Xinnian that the Heavenly Dao’s long-term plan was to lure cosmic beings into the Immortal Realm, using their deaths and spiritual energy to restore its strength. The Heavenly Dao benefits regardless of who wins the battle.
  • The Li Family’s souls and their ancestor have become hostages within the World Core. This prevents the Ancient Sages and other forces from attacking recklessly, since entering the core could endanger them.
  • As the situation grows desperate, Li Zhiheng appears and vows to defend the cave entrance. His mysterious, ominous heartbeat unsettles even the Ancient Sages, who instinctively sense that his arrival prevents a greater calamity.

Character Developments

  • Li Yaozu has transformed from an embittered survivor into a steadfast guardian. Despite the old family divisions, his priority is now protecting the souls of the dead and preserving the family’s chance of revival.

Significant Themes

  • Family, lineage, and reconciliation: Formerly divided generations are reunited by common suffering and the responsibility to protect their ancestors and descendants.
  • The cost and meaning of resurrection: The preserved souls and bodies in the World Core raise questions about whether revival truly restores a person or merely reconstructs them. Reincarnation, memory, identity, and bloodline are treated as deeply connected.
  • The Heavenly Dao’s manipulation: The Heavenly Dao has engineered a situation in which every conflict restores its power, turning both allies and enemies into tools for its recovery.
  • Sacrifice and unresolved grief: The characters continue to bear the trauma of the family’s destruction ten thousand years earlier, including sacrifices that once appeared meaningless.
  • Guardianship and responsibility: Li Yaozu, Li Xinnian, and Li Zhiheng each take on the role of protector, defending both the living battlefield and the vulnerable souls within the World Core.

Character Interactions

  • Li Xinnian reunites with Li Yuanshang and recognizes his growth, though he immediately notices the danger surrounding him.
  • Li Yuanshang explains the Heavenly Dao’s strategy to his grandfather and emphasizes that the family’s preserved souls and ancestor must be protected.
  • Li Yaozu silently reconnects with the returning family members, while his guarded stance at the cave reflects both vigilance and emotional burden.
  • Li Zhiheng kneels before Li Xinnian, receives his approval, and then joins Li Yaozu as the cave’s defender.
  • The Ancient Sages, including the Rotten Axe Elder, Lady Rong, and Yinglong, react with unease to Li Zhiheng’s arrival, sensing that his presence changes the balance of power.

Ch. 1089What Exactly Have You Refined?

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • The Heavenly Dao, controlling Li Xiang’s body, continues its devastating battle against Li Yaowen’s three avatars. Their clash creates black holes and shockwaves powerful enough to endanger Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.
  • Li Yaowen’s avatars have grown extraordinarily powerful by devouring six Ancient Sages and several powerful immortals. One avatar now possesses dozens of laws, many Great Daos, and multiple Great Dao Fruits, allowing it to suppress Li Xiang despite his mastery of over a thousand Great Daos, space, and time.
  • Li Yaowen and the Heavenly Dao recognize that the Ancient Sages manipulated events. They used Li Yaowen’s emergence to force the Heavenly Dao and Li Xiang to reveal their abilities, hoping to enter the World Core and profit after both sides were weakened.
  • The Heavenly Dao reveals that Li Xiang’s soul has been defeated and is being held within the World Core. The Core contains the foundations of the Azure Cloud Li Family’s immortality, as well as the world’s laws, cultivation methods, and spiritual energy. The Li Family must remain inside to guard it.
  • Lady Rong reveals that Li Zhiheng’s Divine Heart of Heavenly Arts has become immortal. After absorbing the fruits of the Peach Blossom Immortal World, his Creation law has developed into an entire world capable of creating or reconstructing the Ancient Sages.
  • Before the Sages can enter the World Core, Li Yaotie arrives aboard a colossal technological warship made from the remnants of the Li Family’s ancient Lineage Armor. Armed with more than a thousand Godslayer Cannons, it launches a devastating, indiscriminate attack.
  • The Heavenly Secrets Three Thieves and the Iron Gate Seven realize that Li Yaotie’s weapon was built from treasures they spent ten thousand years recovering—including powerful immortal artifacts such as the Human Emperor Jade Seal and imperial carriage.
  • The cannon barrage devastates the battlefield, leveling the surrounding land and injuring countless cultivators, though Li Tianqi’s formation remains intact.
  • Hua Ji and Wanrong confront Li Yaotie to stop him. They discover that he has transformed into something beyond an ordinary cultivator: his body is fused with the warship and has become virtually indestructible.
  • Hua Ji’s immense strength cannot move him, while Wanrong’s World-Destroying Saber cuts into Li Yaotie’s neck but cannot sever or burn him. Li Yaotie declares that he has refined himself into an immortal artifact and retaliates against Hua Ji.

Character Developments

  • Li Yaowen: Her avatars have become vastly stronger through devouring powerful beings. She also demonstrates a clear understanding of the Heavenly Dao’s schemes and the Ancient Sages’ manipulation.
  • The Heavenly Dao/Li Xiang: The Heavenly Dao remains calm and calculating but admits that the situation has developed beyond even its predictions. Li Xiang’s defeat and imprisonment make him a hostage central to the World Core stalemate.
  • Li Zhiheng: His Divine Heart of Heavenly Arts has reached immortality, and his Creation law has evolved into a world-forming power capable of threatening even the Ancient Sages.
  • Lady Rong: She becomes an important interpreter of Fate, recognizing the true danger posed by Li Zhiheng and urging the Sages to act quickly.
  • Li Yaotie: He completes a dramatic transformation from a formerly hunted figure into a living immortal weapon. His body, warship, and artillery are now unified, making him strong enough to withstand two peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.
  • Hua Ji and Wanrong: Both are forced to confront an opponent whose physical strength and durability exceed their expectations. Their confidence is shaken when their signature abilities fail against Li Yaotie.
  • The Heavenly Secrets Three Thieves and Iron Gate Seven: Their long history of looting and collecting lost treasures finally benefits the Li Family, as the artifacts they gathered become the foundation of Li Yaotie’s warship.

Significant Themes

  • Manipulation and strategic stalemate: Every faction is using the others as pieces in a larger scheme, creating a deadlock in which no side can act freely.
  • Transformation through refinement: Li Yaotie’s evolution illustrates the chapter’s central idea that power can come not only from cultivation but from refining the self into a weapon or artifact.
  • Immortality and the World Core: The Core represents both the source of the world’s existence and the secret of the Li Family’s continued survival, making it the decisive location of the conflict.
  • The limits of established power: Techniques and artifacts once considered unbeatable—such as Wanrong’s World-Destroying Saber—are shown to have limits against newer, more extreme forms of power.
  • Destruction and renewal: Amid the devastation, Li Yaowen notices green shoots emerging from the ruined earth, suggesting that life and regeneration persist despite the cosmic-scale destruction.
  • Family sacrifice and legacy: The Lineage Armor and the many treasures gathered from the ancient war are repurposed into Li Yaotie’s weapon, turning the Li Family’s past losses into a source of renewed strength.

Character Interactions

  • Li Yaowen’s avatars and the Heavenly Dao openly discuss the Ancient Sages’ scheme and the hostage status of Li Xiang, revealing mutual awareness despite being enemies.
  • Lady Rong and the Ancient Sages react to the threat of Li Zhiheng’s immortal Divine Heart, with her warning them that his Creation power could recreate or empower them.
  • Li Yaotie, Bai Rourou, and the treasure gatherers cooperate in launching the warship’s attack: Bai Rourou activates the cannon barrage while the others’ accumulated treasures provide its materials.
  • Hua Ji and Wanrong jointly attack Li Yaotie, but their combined strength fails to overcome his artifact-like body.
  • Li Yaotie and Hua Ji share a reversal of their former relationship: once pursued by Hua Ji, Li Yaotie now captures and threatens her, declaring that he will repay the humiliation he suffered.

  • The battlefield is stunned as two of the Immortal Court’s strongest Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals—Hua Ji and Wanrong—are decisively overwhelmed by members of the Azure Cloud Li Family.
  • New life begins spreading across the ruined battlefield. Tender grass and saplings restore the exhausted and injured members of the Li Family, the Iron Gate Seven, and the Heavenly Secrets Three Thieves.
  • The source of this life force is revealed: the Lost Wayfarer, wearing Green Lady’s Daoist robe, returns after ten thousand years. As she approaches, she grows from a frail child into a young woman, apparently inheriting or embodying Green Lady’s power.
  • The three siblings—Li Yaozu, Li Yaotie, and the returning Lost Wayfarer—are symbolically reunited amid the collapsing world, recalling their childhood in Qingyun Prefecture.

  • Family reunion across time and death: The chapter brings together separated members of the Li Family after ten thousand years, emphasizing the enduring bonds between siblings, parents, and ancestors.
  • Life amid destruction: New grass and trees grow across a battlefield devastated by war, symbolizing renewal and the persistence of life even during apocalypse.
  • Identity and reconciliation: Li Dalong’s struggle reflects the tension between cosmic power and human attachment. His decision to rejoin his family represents reconciliation between his divine role and personal identity.
  • The limits of established power: Immortal Court experts who once dominated the world are rendered helpless, suggesting that the Li Family has entered a new level of existence beyond conventional immortality.
  • Inheritance and continuity: Green Lady’s power, the clan’s armor, and the Li Family’s shared memories all demonstrate that legacies survive even when individuals appear to have fallen.

  • Shifting disasters: The Heavenly Dao Prophet appears to have redirected danger toward the Azure Cloud Li Family, suggesting that major factions manipulate one another rather than confronting threats directly.

Character Interactions
