• Before Du Meng can enter the secret realm, Chu Heng Sovereign blocks him with overwhelming force. Chu Heng declares that Huang Tian’s path is closed to Du Meng, forcing the Prison Clan Sovereign to withdraw.

Chapter Summary

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• Huang Tian and humanity’s leaders decide to launch a counterattack against the four great alien races and their affiliated races. Humanity begins mobilizing armies, populations, and resources throughout its territories.
• The seized supreme treasures are placed in humanity’s treasure vault, where they will equip and motivate Sovereigns and other powerful fighters.

Chapter Summary

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• The origins of the universe’s ten great laws suddenly descend across billions of light-years, creating an enormous disturbance centered on Huang Tian’s secluded location.
• Human rulers, Supremes, Transcendents, and solitary cultivators—including Black Sea Transcendent—gather to witness the phenomenon. They speculate that Huang Tian may have successfully fused all ten laws, despite having cultivated for only ten years.
• After half a month, the law disturbance ends and Huang Tian emerges. He confirms that fusing the ten great laws allows one to reach the Tenth Stage, also called the Transcendence Realm. Those who attain it can surpass the universe and enter the boundless chaos beyond.
• Huang Tian explains the basic principles of law fusion for nearly a month, teaching that one must first fuse Spacetime and become a ruler before attempting to fuse the remaining laws.
• Before leaving the universe, Huang Tian decides to leave behind a gift for humanity: the Heavenly Pillar.
• He removes the enormous pillar from the Divine Pillar Secret Realm, refines it, and inscribes it with secrets related not only to Spacetime fusion but also to the fusion of the other great laws.
• Huang Tian sends the enhanced Heavenly Pillar to the center of human territory, where it becomes a permanent aid for human cultivators’ comprehension.
• After saying farewell to Origin Awakening Transcendent and Chu Heng, Huang Tian vanishes from the universe.
• In the Void Realm’s Primordial World, Huang Tian’s divided soul returns to his main body, bringing with it a Great Luo-level True Nature. This transforms more than half of his Yuanji Dao Fruit from “illusion” into “truth.”
• Huang Tian realizes that he has achieved a higher-than-Great-Luo state within the Void Realm, but that this achievement remains incomplete because the Void Realm represents illusion. He must obtain more True Nature to perfect his Dao Fruit and uncover the origin of his mysterious power.
• The chapter ends when a powerful purple-gold voice from the True Realm calls out his name: “Huang Tian!!”

• Legacy and guidance: Huang Tian’s teachings and the Heavenly Pillar represent his attempt to advance future generations rather than keeping his discoveries to himself.
• Illusion versus truth: The contrast between the Void Realm and the True Realm becomes central. Huang Tian’s power is incomplete while rooted in illusion, and True Nature is necessary to perfect his Dao.
• Farewell and impermanence: Huang Tian’s brief fifteen-year presence transforms humanity and the universe, but his rapid departure emphasizes how fleeting his connection to them is.
• The limits of the universe: Even Huang Tian cannot fully record the mysteries of ten-law fusion because the universe and the Heavenly Pillar cannot contain them; ultimate understanding must still be achieved personally.
