Chapter Summaries

As the Heavenly Dao’s blockade weakened, Ye Lin prepared to awaken the world’s will and use Central Continent’s early entry into the Immortal Realm to bring the deep-sea races under control. He learned that Central Continent’s experts would have a one- or two-day head start, giving him a brief window to force the other races to submit.

• When the lightning turned toward the formation diagram, Ye Lin charged after it to stop it from destroying the formation and endangering the Loose Immortals.

Ye Lin fought the Xuanhuang Great World’s Heavenly Dao, using his sword and fists to break its lightning as he tried to lift the formation diagram.

• Great clans from transcendent factions used their fortune-suppressing treasures to resist the Heavenly Dao.

The four received support from the living beings of Central Continent, easing the pressure as their formation diagram rose and drew the Heavenly Dao’s fury.

Ye Lin’s actions drove Heavenly Dao to drain the Xuanhuang Great World’s spiritual energy and attack Central Continent, forcing cultivators and sea beasts to unite against it. As powerful figures gathered and activated their formations, the battle for the world’s survival began.

• Cultivators who considered retreating were urged to fight, since victory could bring immortality and defeat meant death wherever they hid.
• Human Race cultivators and deep-sea beasts joined forces as powerful figures poured spiritual energy into formation diagrams and activated grand formations.

Ye Lin led the Xuanhuang Great World's powerful figures in turning against the intelligent Heavenly Dao, which prepared a deadly lightning strike. Before it could fall, two forces clashed above the Ninth Heaven, and the Heavenly Dao's power was shattered, leaving the cultivators below confused.

• The races of the Xuanhuang Great World declared that the Heavenly Dao had to die because it had developed intelligence and could treat them as its possessions.

• Two immense forces clashed above the Ninth Heaven just as the lightning was about to descend.
• Ye Lin watched as one force weakened and was smashed apart, while the cultivators below saw the Heavenly Dao vanish without knowing what had happened.

After the Heavenly Dao was erased, Ye Lin and the living beings of the Xuanhuang Great World received immense merit, and the shackles preventing them from becoming immortals began to disappear. Ye Lin decided to use his share to improve his five Spirit Roots rather than rush his cultivation, while major powers gathered resources to help their ancestors ascend.

• Golden merit descended across the world, with half going to Ye Lin, a quarter to Hong Batian, and the rest to the living beings below.
• Living beings celebrated their merit, seeing new hope of improving their cultivation and reaching the immortal realm.
• Ye Lin realized his merit could raise him to the late Earth Immortal stage, but chose to use it to bring all five of his Spirit Roots to the highest level.
• The shackles preventing the living beings from becoming immortals rapidly broke apart, giving top-tier powerhouses hope of ascending.
• Major powers opened their treasure vaults and sent resources to their ancestors, while one living being wondered why even he felt able to become an immortal.

With the restriction on becoming immortal gone, Mahayana cultivators and Loose Immortals began gathering resources to pursue ascension, threatening to drain the Xuanhuang Great World. Ye Lin recalled his avatars and wondered how the world's will would respond to the weakening Devourer before the world was ruined.

• Ye Lin drew his two avatars back into his body so they could refine the merit they had gained.
• Ye Lin considered how the Devourer's weakening suppression and the world's battered state had prevented the Xuanhuang Great World from producing immortals.

The Xuanhuang Great World’s strongest cultivators began ascending together, risking the world’s remaining foundation in the Immortal Ascension Tribulations. Ye Lin watched from underground and waited to see how the world will would respond, concerned that the newly ascended experts would abandon his plans against the Heavenly Demon Great World.

• The Immortal Ascension Tribulations began as powerful cultivators across the Xuanhuang Great World attempted to enter the immortal realm.
• The Outer Realm Heavenly Demons hid from the ascenders, afraid to challenge their overwhelming power.
• Ye Lin watched the ascension from underground while cracking sunflower seeds and considered his preparations only half complete.
• Ye Lin worried that the ascended experts would leave and leave him to deal with the Heavenly Demon Great World.
• Ye Lin decided to wait and see what the Xuanhuang Great World’s will would do about the Devourer and the unreliable Heavenly Dao.

Ye Lin watched cultivators face the Immortal Ascension Tribulation and considered how rare it was to become an immortal. As many died, one old man successfully entered the Immortal Realm.

• Ye Lin guarded his small patch of ground while lightning killed cultivators and others fought to withstand their tribulations.
• Hundreds of peak Mahayana cultivators perished within minutes, and Ye Lin reflected on how few people reached the Immortal Realm.
• A Nine-Tribulation Loose Immortal died, leaving his faction's representatives grieving over the loss of their ancestor and protector.
• An old man in white robes entered the Immortal Realm and celebrated as Immortal Qi renewed his body.

After becoming a Nine-Tribulation Loose Immortal, the old man discussed his early Earth Immortal realm with Ye Lin and explained that his cultivation would rise as his comprehension improved.

• Ye Lin praised the old man's righteousness, and the old man credited Ye Lin with making their tribulation transcendence possible.

After a white-robed elder entered the Immortal Realm, he prepared to lead the sect against the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons. Qin Wudao then challenged Ye Lin to prove he was the one and only Unrivaled Sacred Body, and Ye Lin agreed to fight him in the void.

• The white-robed elder thanked Ye Lin, welcomed the cultivators who came to congratulate him, and ordered them to prepare for war against the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons.
• Ye Lin remarked that the Xuanhuang Great World would have a future if its elders were all as sensible as the white-robed elder.

• Ye Lin agreed to Qin Wudao's challenge and prepared to show him the gap between them.

Qin Wudao challenged Ye Lin, convinced that defeating him would leave him without rivals in the Xuanhuang Great World. Ye Lin overwhelmed Qin Wudao with a single palm, leaving him kneeling in disbelief.

• Qin Wudao and Ye Lin entered the void to fight while the old man watched them go.
• Qin Wudao declared that he would defeat Ye Lin and offered to attack first.
• Qin Wudao launched a full-strength spear strike infused with immortal energy and killing intent.
• Ye Lin suppressed Qin Wudao and his Golden Spear with one palm, leaving Qin Wudao kneeling with his robes torn.

Ye Lin defeated Qin Wudao with a single palm and warned him against overconfidence, then sensed powerful experts gathering at the border between the Heavenly Demon Great World and the Xuanhuang Great World. With ten people having successfully become Immortals, Ye Lin judged that the Heavenly Demons had waited too long to act.

• Qin Wudao questioned how Ye Lin had defeated him, and Ye Lin said Qin was still far from being his equal.
• Ye Lin explained that Qin was powerful among Immortal Realm experts but would be outmatched by the prodigies of the Star River.

After three days of tribulations, the Xuanhuang Great World had 108 new Immortal Realm experts, while countless factions lost their strongest cultivators.

• Ye Lin questioned ten black-robed men at the passage, but they surrounded him, so he killed them and absorbed their essence blood and memories.
