Li Qing and his allies prepared a large-scale assault on the Reverse Supreme Mechanism, mobilizing forces across the Ultimate Universe while Li Qing made his own preparations to break through. As the attack neared, Li Qing watched for a response from the mysterious Dead Abyss entity, and the Supreme Heavenly Lord noticed the Ultimate Universe’s movements.

• Li Qing reviewed the separate models in the Civilization Information Essence and the mysterious purple aura in the pearl, then decided it was time to reclaim their power.

The Supreme Heavenly Lord prepared for a possible battle as the Ultimate Universe’s power gathered inward, while the mysterious man suspected Li Qing was about to act. At Celestial Origin Mountain, the Gray Mist Immortal King's clone began the Supreme Cataclysm, and Li Qing observed the first calamity while assessing his chances of transcending it.

• The Supreme Heavenly Lord fused his eight great incarnations to watch the Ultimate Universe and alerted the three hundred and sixty-five Heavenly Sovereigns to prepare for battle.

• Calamity Wind swept over the Gray Mist Immortal King's incarnation and Dao Fruit.

The Gray Mist Immortal King's Heavenly Sovereign avatar faced the converging calamities of wind, fire, and thunder as it attempted to break through to the Reverse Supreme Mechanism. The Supreme Heavenly Lord prepared to interfere, while Li Qing and the other experts moved to block his incarnation inside the Chaotic Dojo.

• The Gray Mist Immortal King supplied his avatar with Anti-Primordial Chaos power as Li Qing's Present Body recorded the tribulation and his Past Body calculated its workings.

• Li Qing's Past Body alerted the experts, who combined their remaining Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power into a Network to block the Supreme Heavenly Lord's incarnation.
• The incarnation attacked the Network with the Reverse Ultimate Mechanism, while the sealed Flesh Egg Daoist used the Superposition State to build an information system within the Chaotic Dojo.

Flesh Egg Daoist tried to escape the Chaotic Dojo while the Supreme Heavenly Lord's avatar broke through toward the Ultimate Universe, but the pursuit forced Flesh Egg Daoist to retreat. Li Qing began the plan's second phase, prompting mass tribulation crossings that forced the Supreme Heavenly Lord to choose his targets; he sent 180 Heavenly Sovereigns to attack the tribulation crossers and moved to destroy the Gray Mist Immortal King's Heavenly Sovereign avatar.

• Flesh Egg Daoist seized the distraction of the ongoing conflict to rush toward the Chaotic Dojo's boundary, but Li Qing alerted the others and they reinforced the Network to block him.

• At the Council Heavenly Palace, Li Qing warned that the Supreme Heavenly Lord's avatar could overpower the second interception network and ordered everyone to prepare near Heaven Origin Mountain.
• Li Qing announced the second phase, and more than 230 True Gods and Preachers began tribulation crossings across the Ultimate Universe and Primordial Chaos.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord sent 180 Heavenly Sovereigns to attack those crossing tribulations and chose to target the Gray Mist Immortal King's Heavenly Sovereign avatar himself.

The Supreme Heavenly Lord's incarnation fought through Great Vow Daoist's networks and raced toward Heaven Origin Mountain while Li Qing used the distraction to conceal a tribulation at the Cosmic Graveyard. The Seven Supremes noticed the strange clash and began investigating, but Li Qing gained time for his Civilization Incarnation to break through.

• The Supreme Heavenly Lord's incarnation evaded Great Vow Daoist's blockades with the Reverse Ultimate Mechanism and steadily approached Heaven Origin Mountain.
• Li Qing's Present Body watched the battle and judged that the moment had come.

• The Seven Supremes noticed the six experts' clash and suspected that Li Qing was concealing a tribulation crossing.
• Nirvana Buddha Lord sent projections to investigate tribulations in Primordial Chaos, while Li Qing recognized their search and waited for his incarnation's breakthrough.

Li Qing used the power of eight Dao Fruits and most of his authority over Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to force his fused incarnation into the Boundless Void Region. A mysterious violet hand nearly seized him, but a strand of superposed-state Radiance pulled him inside, while the Supreme Heavenly Lord's avatar resumed its advance toward Heaven Origin Mountain.

• Li Qing's Future Body poured his will into the fused incarnation and sent it toward the Boundless Void Region with the power of eight Dao Fruits.
• Li Qing drew away most of his Heavenly Dao Reincarnation authority, weakening the interception network and letting the Supreme Heavenly Lord's avatar surge toward Heaven Origin Mountain.
• The fused incarnation struck through the Supreme Heavenly Lord's avatar's blockade, but a mysterious violet hand appeared and shattered his superposed-state power.
• A strand of superposed-state Radiance from the Boundless Void Region pulled the fused incarnation out of the violet hand's grasp and into the region.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord's avatar evaded renewed suppression and advanced toward Heaven Origin Mountain, where the Great Vow Daoist intercepted him as his true body increased the pressure on the Ultimate Universe.

Li Qing revealed that a mysterious Immortal who destroyed Primordial Chaos was pursuing him, but urged the Council to continue its plan and stop the Supreme Heavenly Lord's incarnation. The incarnation reached Heaven Origin Mountain's summit and battered its final barrier, but could not break through to the Gray Mist Immortal King Heavenly Sovereign clone.

• Nirvana Buddha Lord and Great Vow Daoist confronted Li Qing over his interference and asked what power had saved his incarnation.
• Li Qing explained that he had learned about the Immortals from a Flesh Egg fragment and believed one was pursuing him after he exposed its existence.
• Daoist Unceasing feared the Immortal could destroy their future universe, but Li Qing urged the Council to focus on the battlefield and help the Gray Mist Immortal King Heavenly Sovereign clone break through.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord's incarnation tore through the defenses and reached the summit of Heaven Origin Mountain.
• The incarnation struck the hundred-zhang barrier more than a thousand times, opening many gaps but failing to break through.

The Supreme Heavenly Lord used the Reverse Ultimate Mechanism to empower his incarnation from afar, destroying the Gray Mist Immortal King’s Heavenly Sovereign clone before withdrawing. As Li Qing redirected the council’s attention toward the surviving tribulation-takers, the powerhouses mobilized to help them, while suspicion turned toward Li Qing.

• The Supreme Heavenly Lord amplified his incarnation tenfold with the Reverse Ultimate Mechanism, allowing it to break through the barrier and strike at the Gray Mist Immortal King’s Heavenly Sovereign clone.
• The Gray Mist Immortal King tried to move his clone through Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, but the incarnation froze the mechanisms and destroyed the clone and its Dao Fruit.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord’s incarnation returned to the Chaotic Dojo, where it split into eight, bringing the number of his incarnations there to ten.
• Li Qing told the council that the Supreme Heavenly Lord could transmit power across Positive and Negative Primordial Chaos, and the Gray Mist Immortal King said he had never seen him do so before.
• Rahu Divine Venerable reminded the council that tribulation-takers were under attack, and Li Qing called for forces to help them while Great Vow Daoist urged everyone to identify the challengers.
• As the eighth breath ended, the powerhouses sent their thoughts and power through the Seven Supremes’ networks toward the more than one hundred and twenty remaining challengers.

Li Qing used his control over Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to force the Ultimate Universe’s powers to protect the Hazy Domain and let Civilization Incarnation Li Qing face the final moment of his tribulation. Meanwhile, four hidden incarnations seized four Dao Fruits and escaped into primordial chaos, leaving the Great Vow Daoist and the other powers to realize they had been outmaneuvered.

• Li Qing’s Present Body used nine-tenths of his authority to pressure the Chaotic Dojo, forcing the Ultimate Universe’s powers to withdraw most of their strength and suppress the Hazy Domain again.
• As the tenth breath began, the mysterious immortal fixed its violet gaze on Li Qing, while the powers watched Civilization Incarnation Li Qing approach completion of his Dao Fruit.
• The No-Limits True God and three other incarnations seized the Dao Fruits of four True Gods who were breaking through to become Heavenly Sovereigns.
• The four incarnations escaped into primordial chaos and hid there, concealed by Li Qing’s use of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.
• The Great Vow Daoist warned that Li Qing’s incarnations were transcending his Great Dao and had plundered four more Dao Fruits, but the powers still did not know the No-Limits True God and the others were Li Qing’s incarnations.

Li Qing’s Civilization Incarnation used hidden Infinite Mechanism incarnations to evade attacks by the Supreme Heavenly Lord and a mysterious immortal, but the immortal’s violet sword tracked him through the Infinite Mechanism Network. Li Qing self-destructed to keep his aura and mechanisms from being captured, while Great Vow Daoist and Gray Mist Immortal King uncovered the extent of his resources and his remaining chances to fuse with the Supreme Mechanism.

• The Supreme Heavenly Lord incarnation attacked Li Qing, but Li Qing switched places with a hidden Infinite Mechanism incarnation that self-destructed and trapped the attacker in the blast.
• When Li Qing condensed the Civilization Dao Fruit, a violet sword struck another hidden incarnation, but its light followed the Infinite Mechanism Network and pierced Li Qing.
• Li Qing immediately self-destructed, disintegrating his aura and mechanisms as Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power crushed the area and the violet sword erupted.
• Tribulation-crossers across the universe and Primordial Origin gradually passed their Disaster Tribulations.
• Great Vow Daoist and Gray Mist Immortal King realized Li Qing had secretly captured and refined powerful figures, and Gray Mist Immortal King counted his Dao Fruits, Infinite Mechanism items, and other resources.

Li Qing persuaded the Council Heavenly Palace to recruit the sixty-two experts who had completed Tribulation Crossing, strengthening the Ultimate Universe and its Heavenly Dao Reincarnation. As the Supreme Heavenly Lord recognized how Li Qing’s strategy was undermining his plans, he sent three hidden avatars into Forward Primordial Chaos to wait near the Ultimate Universe.

• Rahu Divine Venerable accused Li Qing of using his schemes to reclaim power and strike at the Way of Civilization, but Li Qing defended his actions and argued that everyone had gambled according to their abilities.
• Gray Mist Immortal King supported recruiting the newly ascended experts, and the council agreed to grant them authority in the Ultimate Universe.
• Li Qing invited all sixty-two Tribulation Crossing experts to join, and they accepted, bringing their Infinite Mechanisms into the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord saw the Ultimate Universe’s growing strength and concluded that Li Qing was slowing his plans from multiple directions.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord created three Infinite Mechanism Daoists from Forward Infinite Mechanism Dao Fruits and secretly sent them into Forward Primordial Chaos to wait near the Ultimate Universe.

The Supreme Heavenly Lord and the gathered powers deduced that the mysterious being attacked Li Qing because of the Jade Tablet’s hidden value, and they reconsidered their plans around him. The Seven Supremes debated whether the being might strike again, but Rahu Divine Venerable believed he was still recovering and would wait.

• The Supreme Heavenly Lord inferred that the mysterious being coveted Li Qing’s treasure and shifted his incarnations to watch Li Qing, search for the Flesh Egg Daoist, and lie in wait in the Ultimate Universe.
• Li Qing analyzed the attacks and concluded that the Jade Tablet’s azure Radiance had drawn the mysterious being’s attention, making him more valuable than the Flesh Egg Daoist.
• Great Vow Daoist convened the Five Immortal Kings, Seven Supremes, and other powers to discuss why the mysterious being had attacked Li Qing twice.
• Gray Mist Immortal King concluded that Li Qing’s treasure was so valuable that the mysterious being had risked exposing himself to seize it.
• Rahu Divine Venerable warned the gathered powers that Li Qing might use multiple smokescreens during the coming challenges to the Reverse Supreme Mechanism.
• Great Vow Daoist warned the Seven Supremes that the being might emerge early to reclaim the Root Jade Disc, but Rahu Divine Venerable argued that he was likely still recovering and would not act yet.

Li Qing revealed a plan to use symbols born from superposition-state power and the Reverse Ultimate Mechanism to draw on the Dead Zones and restrain the Supreme Heavenly Lord and the Mysterious Immortal. He began explaining how his Void Force-Borrowing Grand Network would work, but the chapter ended before he finished.

• The Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Emperor and the others chose to focus their efforts on capturing the Flesh Egg Daoist, while the Mysterious Immortal resolved to stop Li Qing from achieving the Infinite Mechanism.
• Li Qing's Past Body weighed the threats posed by the Supreme Heavenly Lord and the Mysterious Immortal, and considered finding a way to leave the Forward and Anti-Primordial Chaos as a hidden retreat.
• Li Qing's Present Body told the powerful figures that their experiment showed the Supreme Heavenly Lord could ignore projected power and that the Mysterious Immortal's appearance had forced a change of plans.
• Li Qing proposed using the power of the Dead Zones to suppress the Supreme Heavenly Lord and the Mysterious Immortal.
• Li Qing unveiled the Void Force-Borrowing Grand Network, explaining that it would use recorded symbols to draw out Dead Zone power and restrict the Ultimate Mechanism.

Li Qing explained a two-layer formation that would borrow the ten Dead Zones’ force fields and project their ability to interfere with the Ultimate Mechanism. As the formation began operating, the Supreme Heavenly Lord and the mysterious man realized the Ultimate Universe’s forces had developed a power they could not understand.

• Li Qing proposed hiding the formation’s true purpose while openly using its first effect to draw the Mysterious Immortal’s and Supreme Heavenly Lord’s attention.
• Hongyuan Daoist built the formation network through the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Network, linking Heaven Origin Mountain to the ten Dead Zones.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord’s incarnation sensed the spreading power and withdrew deeper into the Boundless Void Region, leaving his seal unstable and able only to sense disturbances.
• Great Vow Daoist directed the Dead Zones’ force fields onto the Hazy Domain, suppressing Anti-Primordial Chaos and raising Redundant Heavenly Dao Reincarnation’s power to thirty percent.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord recognized that the formation borrowed the Dead Zones’ force fields but could not see its hidden foundation.
• The mysterious man inferred that the formation might use true script formed through the superposition state and Reverse Ultimate Mechanism, and feared it would threaten him.

Li Qing and the other powers confirmed that the True Script Grand Array had boosted the Ultimate Universe’s expansion and could trap projected power from their enemies. They planned to prepare for war while investigating five ancient deadlands for a way to counter the mysterious immortal.

• The mysterious immortal sensed that the True Script Grand Array had changed the Supreme Cataclysm and resolved to throw the Primordial Chaos into chaos.
• Li Qing told the Council Heavenly Palace that the array had succeeded, raising their surplus power to thirty percent and putting them on course to occupy half of the Primordial Chaos within ten million years.
• Great Vow Daoist explained that the Dead Zone could sever an avatar projected by the Supreme Heavenly Lord, while Li Qing outlined plans to cultivate fighters for the Reverse Supreme Mechanism and potentially trigger a reverse Immeasurable Final Calamity.
• Gray Mist Immortal King urged the powers to hide their strength, and Li Qing warned them to conceal the array’s second transformation, avoid making deals with the mysterious immortal, and restrain the Ultimate Universe’s transformation until both enemies could be suppressed.
• Li Qing proposed investigating the five ancient deadlands, and the Nirvana Buddha Lord named the Boundless Void Region, the Cosmic Graveyard, the Void Black Hole, the Eternal Deadlands, and the Hollow Dead Sea.

The powerful beings secretly investigated four deadlands through the Void Force-Borrowing Grand Network while the Ultimate Universe fortified itself against the Supreme Heavenly Lord. When they sent avatars into the Cosmic Graveyard to search for Li Qing, his Past Body prepared the Civilization Universe’s defenses.

• The powerful beings projected avatars into four deadlands, and the Gray Mist Immortal King used mysterious symbol Radiance to detect the Eternal Deadlands’ hidden contaminating power.
• The Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Emperor ordered everyone to conceal their research, and the Ultimate Universe continued its expansion, seals, and defensive preparations.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord judged that destroying the Ultimate Universe would be difficult and projected more consciousness into his three Forward Infinite Mechanism avatars.
• Great Vow Daoist proposed searching the Cosmic Ruins for Li Qing, and the powerful beings sent symbol-shrouded avatars into the Cosmic Graveyard.
• Li Qing watched the searchers enter the Cosmic Graveyard, while his Past Body activated the Civilization Universe’s formations and linked their powers together.

Li Qing’s two superposition-state incarnations fused the four orthodox and four reverse Dao Fruits into a new superposition-state Dao Fruit, then used its power to expose the Supreme Mechanism Network. The Seven Supremes noticed the change but could not find its cause.

• Li Qing concealed the shrunken Civilization Universe inside the wreckage of a shattered universe in the Cosmic Graveyard.
• Li Qing’s Number Two incarnation met the four No-Limits True Gods, and their four Positive Dao Fruits joined the four captured Anti-Dao Fruits.
• Li Qing’s incarnations transmitted Dao Fruit information to his Past Body, whose Civilization Information Essence deduced Principles linking all eight mechanisms.
• The Number One and Number Two incarnations formed a superposition-state Dao Fruit that absorbed the four positive and four anti-Infinite Mechanisms.
• Li Qing’s Number Two incarnation transformed Primordial Chaos with superposition-state power, forcing the Supreme Mechanism Network to reappear and potentially delaying the Supreme Mechanism’s descent.
• The Seven Supremes detected the exposed Network but saw no sign of Li Qing.

Li Qing discovered that his fused superposition-state incarnation could not trigger the Supreme Tribulation because its essence included the Supreme Mechanism. After finding an ancient example of tribulations being transferred, he planned to borrow the nine Heavenly Sovereigns’ upcoming tribulations to force a breakthrough.

• The Seven Supremes traced the disturbance in their Supreme Mechanism Network to Li Qing’s superposition-state incarnation and decided to wait for him to reveal himself.
• Li Qing assessed his incarnations’ strength in the Boundless Void Region and resolved to reserve the Cosmic Pearl and Sacred Domain Pearl for emergencies.
• Li Qing’s Number Two incarnation found that its Dao Fruit could not resonate with the tribulations needed to trigger the Supreme Tribulation.
• Li Qing studied an ancient case of transferred tribulations and realized he could redirect other people’s tribulations onto himself.
• Li Qing planned to offer the nine Heavenly Sovereigns a method that would reduce their tribulations by at least thirty percent while letting him borrow their calamities.

Li Qing's Past Body devised a five-step plan to prepare for the Supreme Cataclysm and found a hidden trump card in the incomplete Fusion Supreme Mechanism being. Meanwhile, Li Qing's Future Body continued strengthening the Chaos Pearl by refining the Flesh Egg fragments, and the Flesh Egg Daoist sensed another loss.

• Li Qing's Past Body planned to refine the Flesh Egg and Chaos Pearl, share the burden of the Supreme Mechanism tribulation, enlist the nine Heavenly Sovereigns, and lure the Supreme Heavenly Lord into a trap.
• Li Qing's Past Body worried that the Mysterious Immortal might not take the bait and concluded he needed two supreme-level combatants and another way to trap him.
• Li Qing's Past Body decided to capture the incomplete Fusion Supreme Mechanism being in the Chaotic Vortex and repair its Dao with the Superposition State.
• Li Qing's Past Body planned to free the First Superposition Fusion Incarnation from the Boundless Void Region without attracting the Mysterious Immortal or Supreme Heavenly Lord.
• Li Qing's Future Body refined another Flesh Egg fragment, strengthening the Chaos Pearl, while the Flesh Egg Daoist sensed that only seventy-nine percent of his other half remained.
