Li Qing and the mechanism powerhouses learned that an approaching battle between a Void Beast and an Intelligent Spirit of the Gods and Devils Sourceflow might be a Historical Turning Point linked to the Fifth Source Stream. With the Destiny Universe at risk of exposure, Li Qing proposed a plan to lure one combatant inside and deal with both in turn.

As Li Qing turned his attention to an approaching external threat, the Dark Brahma King seized the opening and reached the Chaos Universe Pearl’s boundary, igniting his power to escape.

The chapter ended as the beast hurtled toward the Destiny Universe and Li Qing began the first step of his plan to devour it.

• Dark Brahma King repeatedly struck the Chaos Universe Pearl’s barrier, only to discover that its apparent cracks were bait; Li Qing sealed him in and froze him to death.

Li Qing lured the Void Beast into the Destiny Universe, struck it, and sent most of its body into the Brahma Realm, where it fought the Brahma King. With the plan to divert disaster eastward temporarily successful, Li Qing prepared to ambush the approaching Gods and Devils Sourceflow Intelligent Spirit.

• The Brahma King drained the power of Brahma Dao cultivators and gathered the universe's strength into himself before striking the Void Beast.
• The Brahma King and the Void Beast collided, sending tremors across the universe and nearly shaking loose Li Qing's disguise around the Brahma Realm.
• Li Qing doubled the True Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power to suppress the tremors and called on the Mysterious Immortal, Supreme Heavenly Lord, Phoenix Emperor, Divine Power Daoist, and Evil Spirit God King to help.

The five great experts sent portions of their strength into the Brahma Realm to suppress the shockwaves from Brahma King and the Void Beast, while Li Qing prepared a trap for the approaching Formless Demon God. Formless Demon God’s probe clone was swallowed and destroyed, but the Destiny Universe recovered its memories through time reversal, leaving the demon outside in shock.

• Mysterious Immortal and the other four great experts agreed to send portions of their strength into the Brahma Realm, hoping to help Brahma King and potentially obtain the Void Beast’s essence.
• The five experts’ power cut apart the battle’s shockwaves and stabilized the Brahma Realm’s barrier, allowing Li Qing to focus on hiding the Destiny Universe from Formless Demon God.
• Sensing danger as he neared the Destiny Universe, Formless Demon God sent a clone with one-tenth of his power to investigate.
• The Destiny Universe swallowed the clone, sealed it, and ground it to dust before it could reveal information.

Li Qing used the Formless Demon God's captured avatar to lure him toward the Destiny Universe with a false message about an Elder True Spirit's abode. In the Brahma Realm, Light Brahma King realized the shock waves could disrupt events outside and charged the Mysterious Immortal, who struck the pursuing Void Beast with a powerful sword attack.

The wounded Formless Demon God was blasted into the Destiny Universe, where Li Qing’s sword light pursued him, though it began to crack after clashing with the demon god’s burning Three Flowers Dao Bodies.

• The Brahma King failed to provoke another disturbance as the Mysterious Immortal and the others intercepted it and kept the Brahma Realm’s fighters contained.

• The Formless Demon God burned all three of his Three Flowers Dao Bodies to resist the strike, but the sword light overwhelmed him and drove him into the Destiny Universe.

Li Qing and the others intercepted most of the Formless Demon God's attempt to transmit information, while pursuing him through the Destiny Universe. With their power divided between containing him and addressing the Void Beast in the Brahma Realm, they debated how to end the crisis, and Mysterious Immortal identified a possible opportunity.

• The Formless Demon God's Three Flowers Dao Body shattered under the group's attack, cutting his strength in half before he fled through the Destiny Universe.
• Li Qing and the others used the Myriad Phenomena Heaven-Shrouding Grand Formation and a True Script suppression system to intercept nearly all of the Formless Demon God's outgoing information.
• Li Qing announced that the interception had succeeded and explained that their limited True Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power had to cover both the Brahma Realm and the pursuit.
• Li Qing warned that the Void Beast was growing stronger in the Brahma Realm while the Formless Demon God tried to evade capture and wear down his pursuers.
• Mysterious Immortal said the Formless Demon God would soon discover that the Void Beast was not in the Destiny Universe, creating an opportunity.

Li Qing and the Mysterious Immortal set a trap to drive the Formless Demon God into the Brahma Realm and exploit the conflict between its inhabitants. As the Formless Demon God searched the River of Fate for the sealed Void Beast, Li Qing planted false clues and prepared an ambush along the passage to the Brahma Realm.

• The Mysterious Immortal proposed using the Destiny Universe to weaken the Brahma Realm while keeping the Void Beast alive to provoke conflict with the Brahma King and Formless Demon God.
• Li Qing sent a world-erasing sword light after the Formless Demon God and forced him to flee without letting him replenish his power.
• The Formless Demon God realized the Void Beast was missing and began searching the River of Fate for clues to its location.
• Li Qing told the other powerhouses he would feed the Formless Demon God false information and split his forces to trap him at the passage to the Brahma Realm.
• Li Qing raised a Mist in the River of Fate to obstruct the search, and the Formless Demon God broke through layers of it before the Mist suppressed his power again.

The Formless Demon God realized Li Qing had anticipated his escape and trapped him with True Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, but he broke through at the cost of his left arm and Three Flowers Dao Body. He escaped into the Light Brahma Realm, where the Brahma King withdrew the Central Continent’s Heavenly Dao Reincarnation as Li Qing’s forces began their assault.

• The Formless Demon God inferred that the Destiny Universe had manipulated events around the Void Beast and rushed toward the passage connecting the Brahma Realm and the Destiny Universe.
• Li Qing unleashed half of True Heavenly Dao Reincarnation’s power to freeze the passage, and his pursuing sword light struck the Formless Demon God as he realized he had fallen into another scheme.
• The Formless Demon God burned his Three Flowers Dao Body, tore through the frozen space-time, and punched the sword light, losing his left arm as the passage between the worlds buckled.
• The Formless Demon God escaped into the Light Brahma Realm as Li Qing’s forces surrounded it and launched a devastating attack on the Central Continent.
• The Brahma King withdrew the Central Continent’s Heavenly Dao Reincarnation into the universe’s origin while continuing to fight the Void Beast.
• The Formless Demon God appeared near the Brahma King, absorbed power to recover, and concluded that the controller of the Fifth Source Stream had foreseen his moves.

The Formless God-Demon warned the Brahma King that the Brahma Realm was being manipulated and devoured, then proposed an alliance to kill the Void Beast and resist the outsiders. The Brahma King agreed, received a Sourceflow cultivation method and true source substance, and transformed one of his Supreme Mechanisms into a True Supreme Mechanism.

• The Formless God-Demon shared his memories with the Brahma King and explained how the Void Beast and the outsiders were weakening the Brahma Realm.
• The Brahma King trusted the Formless God-Demon’s account and agreed that they had to cooperate to survive.
• The Formless God-Demon proposed taking thirty percent of the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Authority to unite the Brahma Realm’s positive and negative universes and strike the Void Beast.
• The Brahma King agreed to the plan in exchange for the Innate Sacred Spirit Divine Demon Source Stream cultivation method.
• The Formless God-Demon gave the Brahma King the Great Gods and Devils Scripture and true source substance, which transformed the Brahma King’s Supreme Mechanism into a True Supreme Mechanism.

Brahma King gave the Formless Demon God his authority and the Light Brahma Realm’s remaining power, enabling him to unleash a devastating strike against the Void Beast. Li Qing’s forces intervened, so the pair abandoned the attack and tried to break through the Brahma Realm’s barrier, where Li Qing’s sword light appeared to stop them.

• Brahma King transferred thirty percent of the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Authority to the Formless Demon God and burned the Light Brahma Realm’s Central Continent to empower himself.
• The Formless Demon God joined his Sourceflow power with Brahma King’s and unleashed Gods and Devils Art—Great Annihilation against the Void Beast.
• Li Qing detected their attack and sent the Destiny Universe’s sword light to sever the strike, allowing the Void Beast to absorb the remaining Sourceflow power and recover.
• The Formless Demon God and Brahma King abandoned the Void Beast and attacked a cosmic barrier to open a passage and send information outside the Brahma Realm.
• Li Qing detected the barrier’s disturbance and sent his sword light toward the two, while Brahma King stood guard beside the collapsing barrier.

The Formless Demon God and Brahma King escaped Li Qing’s sword, but the Brahma Realm continued to be drained by the Destiny Universe and the Void Beast. The Formless Demon God proposed sacrificing the realm to break the blockade, while Li Qing’s allies began searching his memories for the plan.

• Brahma King used Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to carry himself and the Formless Demon God away from Li Qing’s pursuing sword, and the Formless Demon God blocked its next strike.
• The Destiny Universe and the Void Beast continued siphoning the Brahma Realm, leaving Brahma King and the Formless Demon God facing the loss of their protection and certain death.
• The Formless Demon God proposed using the True Script formation Sacrifice All Things to sacrifice the Brahma Realm, break through the blockade, and drive the Void Beast toward the opposing realm.
• The Formless Demon God swore to protect Brahma King, and Brahma King handed him all authority over the Brahma Realm’s Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.
• The Formless Demon God began spreading Sacrifice All Things throughout the Brahma Realm, while Li Qing and the Destiny Universe’s mechanism experts decided to search his memories for his next move.

The Destiny Universe discovered that the Formless Demon God planned to sacrifice the Brahma Realm, so Li Qing struck the Void Beast and drove it into hiding. The Formless Demon God then lured the wounded beast toward a cosmic barrier while preparing to sacrifice the realm, and Li Qing told the Council Hall that the plan was inevitable.

• The Mysterious Immortal identified the Sacrifice All Things formation in the Formless Demon God's memories and warned that he could trade the Brahma Realm for enough power to break through the outer barrier.
• Li Qing attacked the weakened Void Beast, severed another third of its body, and gathered its fragments, but the beast escaped with only forty percent of its peak strength remaining.

• The Formless Demon God sent the Brahma King into a protected space inside his body, then found the wounded Void Beast and lured it toward a cosmic barrier.
• Li Qing told the powerful beings in the Council Hall that the Formless Demon God and the Brahma King had agreed to sacrifice the Brahma Realm.

Li Qing concentrated the Destiny Universe’s power around the Brahma Realm while the Formless Demon God lured the Void Beast into a desperate battle. The barrier shattered under their combined attack, and as the Formless Demon God burned his remaining power, a purple sword light struck toward them.

• Li Qing and the others redirected most of the True Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power and other defenses to the Brahma Realm’s surface, preparing to attack the Formless Demon God first.
• The Formless Demon God activated the Sacrifice All Things Formation, burning eighty percent of the Brahma Realm and absorbing its power through the Chaos Universe Pearl.
• The Void Beast charged the Formless Demon God, who dodged behind it and struck it into the weakened Brahma Realm barrier.
• The Void Beast and Formless Demon God broke through the barrier, but Li Qing gathered nearly ninety percent of the Destiny Universe’s power to block their escape.
• The Formless Demon God burned the miniature Land of Void, his true body, and Brahma King’s power as a purple sword light appeared and he transformed into God Extinction Demonfall Flowing Light.

Li Qing and the Destiny Universe’s experts destroyed the Brahma Realm and captured the Void Beast, though the Formless Demon God escaped with a small fraction of his power. With the Brahma Realm’s remnants divided among them and the Void Beast recovering by feeding on the remaining energy, Li Qing began moving the Destiny Universe away while the experts prepared to fight it.

• The Void Beast escaped the Formless Demon God’s pincer attack, while the Formless Demon God broke through the Immortal Spirit Sourceflow crystal barrier and fled into the Sea of Void with less than a tenth of his power.
• Li Qing’s forces shattered the Brahma Realm, and the Chaos Universe Pearl followed the Void Beast as it tried to escape the collapsing realm.
• At the Council Heavenly Palace, Li Qing ordered the experts to absorb the Brahma Realm’s remnants, capture the Void Beast, and leave before another Historical Turning Point event brought powerful pursuers.
• The Destiny Universe swallowed the Brahma Realm and the Void Beast as the experts and the Void Beast competed to devour the remaining power.
• Li Qing began driving the Destiny Universe away and ordered the experts to use their full strength to kill or hold back the Void Beast.

True Spirit Hao Long rescued the Formless Demon God and searched for the Destiny Universe, while Li Qing concealed it and prepared to kill the Void Beast. As Li Qing predicted the Void Beast’s next jump, his allies planned to seize its spoils and possibly attack his independent universe.

• True Spirit Hao Long found the Formless Demon God, learned how the Fifth Source Stream wielder had defeated him, and rushed to the Brahma Realm coordinates.
• Hao Long failed to detect the fleeing Destiny Universe, while Li Qing concealed its formation from Hao Long’s search technique.
• Li Qing told the powerhouses to conserve the Destiny Universe’s defenses so he could use their remaining strength to kill the recovering Void Beast in one strike.
• The Mysterious Immortal and the Supreme Heavenly Lord prepared to withdraw their forces and intercept Li Qing’s independent universe when the Void Beast was slain.
• Hao Long took the Formless Demon God away to report to the Sourceflow, as Li Qing used the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Network and his deduction abilities to predict the Void Beast’s next jump.

Li Qing killed the Void Beast with a precisely timed sword beam, and the Chaos Universe Pearl seized its core before escaping the experts’ counterattack. The Mysterious Immortal warned that Li Qing’s growth threatened their plans, then proposed building a vessel from the Void Beast’s remains and destroying the Destiny Universe before Li Qing could become stronger.

• Li Qing calculated where the Void Beast would emerge and struck it with a sword beam that destroyed its body.
• The Chaos Universe Pearl swallowed the Void Beast Core and escaped the experts’ attacks by entering the Destiny Universe’s lowest dimension.
• The Chaos Universe Pearl shattered the Mysterious Immortal’s pursuing Immortal Spirit Sourceflow, revealing that Li Qing’s power now surpassed his.
• The Mysterious Immortal told the experts that Li Qing’s True Embryonic Universe was approaching the mass needed to exist independently in the Sea of Void.
• The Mysterious Immortal proposed using the Void Beast’s fragments to build a vessel, then destroying the Destiny Universe and dividing it among themselves.
• The experts considered the plan, while those wielding Positive-Negative Infinite Mechanisms worried that their weaker power could leave them vulnerable.

The Positive-Negative Infinite Mechanisms powerhouses rejected the plan to pursue the Fifth Source Stream and threatened to side with Li Qing if the others pressed ahead. Li Qing studied a Void Beast Core and discovered it might be the basis for a vessel that could carry him through the Sea of Void.

• Tianyuan Daoist asked the Positive-Negative Infinite Mechanisms powerhouses whether they should support the plan.
• Earth Source Immortal Venerable argued that they should keep the Destiny Universe and abandon the increasingly unlikely pursuit of the Fifth Source Stream.
• Tianyuan Daoist and the Positive-Negative Infinite Mechanisms powerhouses agreed to oppose the plan and join forces with Li Qing if the Mysterious Immortal's faction insisted on it.
• Li Qing tested the Void Beast Core in the Chaos Universe Pearl and found its Void Radiance could consume even the True Embryonic Universe's basic dimensional structure.
• Li Qing probed the core and found an enormous inner space that might serve as a mobile vessel for travel through the Sea of Void.

Li Qing investigated how to master Void Radiance and realized that Void Radiance could emerge through adaptive evolution in the Sea of Void. He planned to pursue both the path of reality and the path of void, but wondered why no one had discovered the latter before.

• Li Qing concluded that reality-based powers could not control Void Radiance and redirected his experiments toward the Reverse Ultimate Mechanism.
• Li Qing used the Anti-Universe Puppet Art to control and expand the Reverse Ultimate Mechanism, then formed it into an incarnation.
• Li Qing exposed the incarnation’s Reverse Ultimate Mechanism to the Sea of Void and observed it adapt as it devoured the seawater.
• Li Qing inferred that positive-negative ultimate mechanisms could adapt to the Sea of Void and transform into void beings without undergoing a Real Calamity.
• Li Qing devised a plan to pursue Void Radiance with one Superposition Supreme Mechanism and True Light with another, then considered uniting both paths through the Fifth Source Stream.
• Li Qing questioned why no one had discovered the path of void across the ages.
