Chapter Summaries

During a mass breakthrough attempt, Sky Daoist became an infinite mechanism and escaped the Seven Supremes with help from Li Qing’s No-Limits True God incarnation. The two formed a plan to gather survivors in the Cosmic Graveyard, while the Supreme Heavenly Lord revealed that he expected the Hazy Domain’s power to destroy the Ultimate Universe unless it grew fast enough.

• More than a hundred cultivators attempted breakthroughs at Primordial Chaos’s edge as the Supreme Mechanism Network and other forces attacked them.
• When only twenty cultivators remained, the Seven Supremes struck; Sky Daoist alone evaded the pursuing attack by reversing his Great Dao and completed his transformation into the Nine Netherworld Life-Death Cosmos Earth.
• Li Qing’s No-Limits True God incarnation helped Sky Daoist escape to the Cosmic Graveyard, where they agreed to gather surviving tribulation-crossers and become a third side in the war.
• Sky Daoist hid his true body in the Cosmic Graveyard while Li Qing watched, intending to draw him in as an ally under his control.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord judged that the Hazy Domain’s power would destroy the Ultimate Universe if it failed to reach half the volume of Forward Primordial Chaos, and considered the slow pace of new breakthroughs.

After a million years of stalemate, the Ultimate Universe had grown and Li Qing’s forces had gained new allies and incarnations. Li Qing began the plan to lure and surround-kill an incarnation of the Supreme Heavenly Lord, leaving his forces ready to act.

• Li Qing reported that the Ultimate Universe was expanding and outlined a plan to build enough power to confront the Supreme Heavenly Lord.
• Over the next million years, the Ultimate Universe reached two percent of Primordial Chaos, five Infinite Mechanism traitors became Li Qing’s Past Body’s incarnations, and fifty new great powers emerged.
• Li Qing’s civilization incarnation perfected his Great Dao and traveled to the Void Black Hole to serve as bait and a coordinate for the coming plan.
• Li Qing announced that the plan to lure and surround-kill the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s incarnation could begin, and the Seven Supremes, Five Immortal Kings, and other great powers prepared to act.

Li Qing outlined a four-step plan to lure the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s incarnation into the Void Black Hole and trap it with a coordinated ambush. The powerhouses approved the plan, which also included a fallback escape through Dead Zones if the trap failed.

• Li Qing identified the Void Black Hole as the target because its ancient, isolated nature could keep them beyond the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s reach.
• Li Qing proposed simultaneous breakthroughs and staged betrayals to divide the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s forces and draw his incarnation toward Li Qing’s hidden breakthrough.
• Li Qing explained how he would use the Void Black Hole to delay the pursuing incarnation while the powerhouses formed a sealing Network at his planned exit point.
• The powerhouses approved Li Qing’s plan, and he added that they should prepare to flee through the Dead Zones while expecting the Supreme Heavenly Lord to have stationed incarnations along the routes.

Li Qing outlined a plan to lure the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s avatars into an ambush and suppress them with Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, while the Five Immortal Kings offered a powerful formation to improve the odds. As the alliance prepared to act in three days, Li Qing worried that his hidden identity might be exposed and noted that the Flesh Egg was nearing birth.

• Li Qing explained that he would use Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to bait the Supreme Heavenly Lord into pursuing him, then have the assembled powerhouses concentrate their strength to destroy or suppress the avatars.
• The Five Immortal Kings and Seven Supremes approved Li Qing’s plan, and the Gray Mist Immortal King revealed the Supreme Vacuum Ultimate Formation as an additional means of trapping the avatars.
• Li Qing assessed the formation and agreed it could help trap the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s incarnation, while the powerhouses supplied the required materials.
• The Black Mist Immortal King said the formation would be completed within a day, and Li Qing set the operation for three days later, when the universe branch would connect to the Void Black Hole.
• Li Qing’s Past Body calculated that the others could not be underestimated and feared they might uncover his identity and expose the Flesh Egg.
• Li Qing reflected that the Flesh Egg was resisting his power, pulsing faster, and likely only days from giving birth, while his Future Body finished preparing the enhanced Yin-Yang Treasure Vase.

Anti-Li Qing secretly entered the Forward Primordial Chaos to hunt newly enlightened powerhouses and gather resources, while the Seven Supremes, Five Immortal Kings, and unaffiliated Mighty Ones prepared for hidden moves in Li Qing’s four-step plan. The Supreme Heavenly Lord sensed the Tribulation intensifying and grew more vigilant.

• Anti-Li Qing used the Sacred Domain Pearl’s accumulated power to enter the Forward Primordial Chaos and hunt newly enlightened Anti-Infinite Mechanism powerhouses for resources.
• Great Vow Daoist and the Seven Supremes suspected Li Qing’s plan concealed another objective and prepared to monitor every breakthrough candidate and intercept any unexpected Tribulation aura.
• Gray Mist Immortal King warned the Five Immortal Kings to reserve strength, coordinate with the other factions, and involve the Supreme Heavenly Lord if necessary.
• Tianyuan Daoist proposed that the unaffiliated Mighty Ones follow the Seven Supremes and Five Immortal Kings’ lead while they discussed their roster.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord sensed that the Tribulation’s ferocity had more than doubled and became increasingly vigilant.

Li Qing coordinated more than 170 True Gods preparing to undergo Tribulation Crossing near the Ultimate Universe and gave Inverted True God a token granting temporary control over nearby Heavenly Dao Reincarnation. He also assigned 150 selected experts in the Ultimate Universe to carry out a coordinated plan beginning at dawn.

• The Supreme Heavenly Lord suspected the Ultimate Universe branches were about to connect to the Dead Zone and strengthened his defenses with twelve complete incarnations inside the Ultimate Universe.
• More than 170 True Gods secretly traveled toward the Ultimate Universe while using avatars and false intelligence to evade the Supreme Heavenly Lord's surveillance.
• Li Qing's projection explained to Inverted True God how to transform the Forward Dao into the Anti-Infinite Mechanism and warned that the process carried greater risks than Tribulation Crossing in the Anti-Primordial Chaos.
• Li Qing gave Inverted True God a token granting him control over nearby Heavenly Dao Reincarnation for half a shichen, and Inverted True God agreed to help overthrow the Supreme Heavenly Lord if he succeeded.
• Li Qing told Inverted True God and the other True Gods to begin their assault at dawn, while assigning 150 selected Ultimate Universe experts to trigger chaos through staged Tribulation Crossings and then make their own breakthroughs.

Li Qing and his allies prepared a covert formation and baited the Supreme Heavenly Lord by arranging simultaneous Tribulation Crossings. As dawn broke, Anti-Li Qing and his forces prepared to hunt Dao Fruits while 170 experts began their attempts.

• Li Qing announced that 150 defectors would attempt Tribulation Crossing in two groups and promised to protect their Dao-level avatars if they failed.
• The defectors left the Ultimate Universe under the cover of clearing artificial universes, while Li Qing told the assembled powers that his own targets were ready to attempt breakthroughs.
• The Gray Mist Immortal King distributed Formation Banners, and the powerful figures assembled a concealed formation beside the Void Black Hole.
• Li Qing ordered the powers to channel Redundant Heavenly Dao Reincarnation into the formation, intending to lure the Supreme Heavenly Lord into a trap.
• Anti-Li Qing sent the Reversal True God and a figure formed by the Void Divine Shuttle to infiltrate the Ultimate Universe as he prepared to hunt Dao Fruits.
• At dawn, 170 figures along the Ultimate Universe's boundary surged with Dao Radiance and the power of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.

Li Qing’s plan drew the Supreme Heavenly Lord into attacking the true gods crossing their tribulations while Li Qing’s Civilization Incarnation faced Calamity Qi at the Void Black Hole. The gathered experts recognized his perfected Dao and considered using the tribulation to locate or capture his will.

• The Supreme Heavenly Lord destroyed the Divine Kingdoms of 170 true gods but could not reach them across Primordial Chaos, then ordered seventy perfected Dao-preaching experts to attack them.
• Li Qing told his allies to use Redundant Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, kill the twenty genuine traitors, and have the fifty planted spies merely pretend to attack.
• More than a hundred perfected Dao-preaching experts raised their Daos across Primordial Chaos, spreading karmic ties and drawing others toward the true gods undergoing Tribulation Crossing.
• Li Qing’s Civilization Incarnation confronted Calamity Qi with his perfected Way of Civilization, whose flaws were rapidly reforged under the assault.
• Great Vow Daoist, Earth Source Immortal Venerable, Gray Mist Immortal King, Nirvana Buddha Lord, and Daoist Unceasing recognized Li Qing’s Dao and discussed whether the tribulation could reveal his will or true body.

As more than a hundred experts across Primordial Chaos began breaking through, the Supreme Heavenly Lord struck at them while the Great Vow Daoist and others prepared hidden defenses around Li Qing. Li Qing recognized their plans as useful to his own scheme, and the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s assault left Black Moon True God unharmed but killed Suspended Void True God.

• The Infinite Mechanism Network and Dao Transmission and Evolution experts attacked more than a hundred breakthrough sites across Primordial Chaos.
• Rahu Divine Venerable suspected Li Qing planned to use the Void Black Hole to escape pursuit or conceal his true body’s breakthrough, so the Great Vow Daoist organized interception lines and hidden mechanism networks.
• Li Qing’s Past Body noticed the preparations and welcomed them, believing they would improve his plan.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord’s incarnation entered Heavenly Dao Reincarnation’s weakened reach and attacked Black Moon True God, but the Great Vow Daoist shifted Black Moon away and Heavenly Dao Reincarnation’s power forced the incarnation to retreat.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord’s incarnation struck again, suppressing Heavenly Dao Reincarnation around Suspended Void True God and killing him before the Great Vow Daoist could save him.

Li Qing’s forces used random movement to evade the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s incarnation, but the hunt continued as more of his avatars joined the attack. As the True Gods and Tribulation Crossers dwindled, the Supreme Heavenly Lord searched the Dead Zones for Li Qing and intensified his effort to identify him before he advanced.

• Li Qing ordered the True Gods to move randomly, but the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s incarnation predicted their arrivals and killed Rebel Buddha True God.
• Li Qing used his Present Body and Past Body’s information to calculate safer teleportation points while the True Gods raced to finish their Tribulation Crossing.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord suspected Li Qing was hiding among the Tribulation Crossers and sent ten incarnations to screen them before they cleared the second stage.
• After identifying four Dead Zones linked to Heavenly Dao Reincarnation as suspicious, the Supreme Heavenly Lord sent five avatars to search them and six to attack the True Gods.
• The six avatars killed several True Gods, so Heavenly Dao Reincarnation moved the survivors more frequently, while Great Vow Daoist’s contracts preserved their avatars if their true bodies died.

Li Qing’s Civilization Incarnation neared the end of its transformation, drawing the Supreme Heavenly Lord and the waiting powers into action. Li Qing escaped the first strike into the Void Black Hole, where his tribulation ceased, but the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s avatar pursued him.

• The Supreme Heavenly Lord’s incarnation briefly searched outside the Chaotic Dojo before leaving, while Li Qing’s Civilization Incarnation continued transforming at the Void Black Hole.
• Nirvana Buddha Lord inferred that Li Qing had reforged his Civilization Dao to sever its connection to a secret treasure, and Gray Mist Immortal King warned the others to prepare to strike.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord found Li Qing’s breakthrough and sent one avatar to the Ultimate Universe branch while three others rushed toward the Void Black Hole.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord’s attack narrowly missed Li Qing as his Civilization Incarnation retreated into the Void Black Hole, then the avatar pursued him inside.
• Li Qing realized the Void Black Hole had halted his tribulation as the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s avatar rapidly closed in behind him.

Li Qing’s incarnations seized two True Gods’ Anti-Infinite Mechanisms while the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s incarnation pursued him toward a trap outside the Primordial Chaos. After recognizing Li Qing’s plan to fuse multiple Forward and Anti-Infinite Mechanisms with his superposition-state power, the Supreme Heavenly Lord resolved to stop him from obtaining more Dao Fruits.

• The Supreme Heavenly Lord’s forces and hidden incarnations surrounded the Void Black Hole while his incarnation closed in on Li Qing’s civilization incarnation.
• Li Qing’s Void Divine Shuttle and Reversal True God incarnations attacked two True Gods who were breaking through, erased their consciousnesses, and began forming two Anti-Infinite Mechanism Dao Fruits.
• A Supreme Heavenly Lord incarnation recognized the Reversal True God and Void Divine Shuttle powers and traced their origins to Li Qing’s gains from the Chaotic Dojo.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord deduced that Li Qing was hunting Anti-Infinite Mechanisms to fuse with Forward Mechanisms and his superposition-state power into a Supreme Mechanism.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord resolved to prevent Li Qing from obtaining any more Anti-Infinite Mechanism Dao Fruits.

Li Qing’s plan succeeded as the betrayed True Gods used Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to evade the Supreme Heavenly Lord and become Heavenly Lords. The Supreme Heavenly Lord exposed Li Qing’s larger ambition, while the powerful beings debated whether his attempt to fuse with the Supreme Mechanism could succeed; the chapter ended by revealing that five Infinite Mechanism mighty beings had selected Dao transmitters in Primordial Chaos.

• Li Qing used Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to save the Reversal True God and Void Divine Shuttle avatar from the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s attack.
• Forty-seven True Gods ascended into Heavenly Lords and vanished from the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s perception, leaving him unable to stop them.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord broadcast Li Qing’s plan to become a fused Supreme Mechanism and leap beyond all Tribulations.
• Great Vow Daoist, Daoist Boundless, Gray Mist Immortal King, Daoist Unceasing, and Rahu Divine Venerable discussed Li Qing’s scheme and the uncertain prospects of his fusion.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord monitored the Ultimate Universe and suspected Li Qing would seek the superposition-state power sealed in the Boundless Void Region.
• Five Infinite Mechanism mighty beings, including the No-Limits True God refined by Li Qing’s Past Body, appeared in Primordial Chaos and chose Dao transmitters to attempt Tribulation transcendence.

No-Limits True God and four allies seized five newly transformed Infinite Mechanism Dao Fruits while Li Qing’s forces prepared a trap for the Supreme Heavenly Lord. As Li Qing’s incarnation fled through the Void Black Hole, the Supreme Heavenly Lord pursued him toward the planned confrontation.

• No-Limits True God and four other incarnations erased five Tribulation-crossers, took their completed Infinite Mechanism Dao Fruits, and escaped as the Seven Supremes focused on hunting the remaining traitors.
• Li Qing told the gathered powerhouses to prepare a concentrated strike against the Supreme Heavenly Lord, warning them to reverse their power immediately afterward and keep the plan hidden.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord watched power gather around the Void Black Hole, unaware that it could activate the Supreme Vacuum Grand Formation.
• Civilization Incarnation Li Qing borrowed power from six Infinite Mechanisms and struck at the pursuing incarnation of the Supreme Heavenly Lord, briefly slowing him.
• Li Qing’s incarnation raced toward the agreed exit while the Supreme Heavenly Lord pursued, suspecting that Li Qing intended to escape and fuse with the Supreme Mechanism.

Li Qing’s civilization incarnation escaped the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s pursuit and entered the Supreme Vacuum Grand Formation, where his tribulation resumed with three breaths remaining before he could attain the Dao. The Supreme Heavenly Lord discovered that the apparent exit was a trap, but an instant’s delay in warning his incarnation inside the Void Black Hole left the confrontation unresolved.

• The Supreme Heavenly Lord used the Reverse Ultimate Mechanism to close in on Li Qing, who attacked repeatedly and rushed toward the Void Black Hole’s boundary.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord deduced that Li Qing had lured him into a trap and believed his three incarnations waiting outside could seize Li Qing as he emerged.
• Li Qing passed through the boundary into the Supreme Vacuum Grand Formation, where his tribulation resumed and his six Mechanism Dao Fruits returned to his Future Body.
• The three Supreme Heavenly Lord incarnations outside failed to detect Li Qing’s emergence and realized the Supreme Mechanism Network was a smokescreen for another encirclement.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord tried to warn his incarnation inside the Void Black Hole, but the Dead Zone delayed the message as six other incarnations descended toward the Void Black Hole.

The Supreme Heavenly Lord realized Li Qing had lured his incarnation into the Supreme Vacuum Grand Formation, then sent nine more incarnations to attack it from outside. As the formation began to crack, Li Qing prepared the fourth step of his plan: a brief, coordinated strike to destroy the trapped incarnation and seize its exposed Reverse Ultimate Mechanism.

• The Supreme Heavenly Lord recognized that the apparent events at the Primordial Chaos boundary and the Ultimate Universe had been staged to draw him into a trap.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord summoned nine incarnations, which joined the trapped incarnation in striking one point of the Supreme Vacuum Grand Formation with Reverse Ultimate Mechanism power.
• Li Qing told the powerhouses to prepare a precisely timed attack on the trapped incarnation and to retrieve the Reverse Ultimate Mechanism before the Supreme Heavenly Lord could intensify the invasion.
• Great Vow Daoist pledged to control the power and follow Li Qing's plan without hesitation.
• Li Qing's Past Body used Civilization Information Essence and the power of the Fate Wheel to monitor and model the battlefield.
• The Supreme Vacuum Grand Formation developed a fine crack under the incarnations' attack.

Li Qing's Civilization Incarnation escaped the shattered formation by leaping through Heavenly Dao Reincarnation toward the Ultimate Universe, with the Supreme Heavenly Lord's ten incarnations pursuing him. As the final breath began, Li Qing's allies prepared to strike the Reverse Ultimate Mechanism and watch for his next move, while a brilliant golden light surged into the branch.

• The Supreme Heavenly Lord's ten incarnations shattered the Supreme Vacuum Grand Formation, allowing Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to absorb its surplus power and sweep toward them.
• Li Qing's Civilization Incarnation used Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to evade the ten incarnations' combined attack and leap toward the Ultimate Universe, but the Supreme Heavenly Lord pursued him through the universe branch.
• Li Qing's Present Body connected a passage inside his Civilization Incarnation to the passage his Future Body had built from the Chaotic Dojo through Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.
• Li Qing told his allies that the Ultimate Universe branch had reached its limit and ordered them to await his command to unleash the power suppressing the Hazy Domain.
• Great Vow Daoist instructed the Five Immortal Kings, the Seven Supremes, and other experts to attack the Reverse Ultimate Mechanism and watch Li Qing for any sign of his plan.
• A projected trajectory raced along the universe branch toward the Ultimate Universe as a vast golden light surged in from outside.

Li Qing used the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation passage in his Civilization Incarnation to redirect a torrent of power from the Ultimate Universe against the eleven Supreme Heavenly Lord incarnations. The passage collapsed under the strain, but the torrent destroyed two incarnations and forced eight others to escape through the boundary of the universal branch.

• Golden light shattered the Sea of Universes' exit to the Ultimate Universe, and an ambushing Supreme Heavenly Lord incarnation forced Li Qing's Civilization Incarnation out of the Sea of Origin.
• Li Qing signaled the powerful experts, and Great Vow Daoist poured one-fifth of the Hazy Domain's power into the prepared passage.
• The Ultimate Universe's torrent shattered the ambusher's Unsurpassed Mechanism and swept the eleven Supreme Heavenly Lord incarnations into Li Qing's passage.
• Li Qing transformed his Civilization Great Dao into the Infinite Mechanism and drew the torrent and the eleven incarnations' power into his passage.
• A Supreme Heavenly Lord incarnation charged into the passage, but it collapsed under the combined power and left him exposed to the torrent.
• The eleven incarnations unleashed Reverse Ultimate Mechanism power; eight escaped through the branch boundary, while the two nearest Li Qing were destroyed and suppressed.

Li Qing's Future Body used the borrowed strike of eleven Supreme Heavenly Lord incarnations to hit the Flesh Egg as it hatched in the Chaotic Dojo, destroying half of it and capturing its fragments. The newly born Daoist restored his body and attacked Li Qing, while the incarnations and other powerful beings rushed toward the dojo after witnessing Li Qing's plan.

• The eight Supreme Heavenly Lord incarnations escaped the Ultimate Universe branch and charged toward the Chaotic Dojo as the borrowed strike surged through Li Qing's passage.
• The immense strike reached the Chaotic Dojo and forced the being inside the Flesh Egg to hatch early.
• The strike blasted half the Flesh Egg into fragments, and Li Qing's Future Body swept those fragments into the Yin-Yang Treasure Vase.
• The half-human, half-flesh Daoist restored his body and unleashed a torrent of overlapping-state power at Li Qing's Future Body.
• The eight incarnations and other powerful beings headed for the Chaotic Dojo after seeing the Flesh Egg, the overlapping-state power, and Li Qing's Future Body.

Daoist Hongyuan and the other powerhouses realized Li Qing had used them to reach the Flesh Egg in the Chaotic Dojo, so they redirected their power to surround the Dojo and reinforce the Hazy Domain. The Supreme Heavenly Lord’s attempt to break through the weakened seal failed, leaving Li Qing’s escape and the final confrontation with his eight incarnations unresolved.

• Daoist Hongyuan explained that Li Qing had used his Great Dao as bait and borrowed everyone’s strength to reach the Flesh Egg in the Chaotic Dojo.
• Great Vow Daoist withdrew Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power from the Void Black Hole branch and sent the available power toward the Chaotic Dojo to trap Li Qing and the Flesh Egg.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord drove Anti-Primordial Chaos power against the weakened Hazy Domain seal, nearly breaking through it.
• The redirected Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power reinforced the seal, and the Five Immortal Kings, the Seven Supremes, and the Infinite Mechanism Network helped suppress the resulting destruction.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord recognized Li Qing’s calculations and focused on using his eight incarnations to overturn Li Qing’s final achievement.
• Great Vow Daoist announced that the returned power had suppressed the Hazy Domain breakthrough crisis.
