Chapter Summaries

Li Qing mastered the principles of the Eternal Death Infinite Pain True Dao Art and reached the island, where he discovered its final breakthrough method. He realized it might let the Chaos Universe Pearl develop three complementary True Daos, and his further speculation about creating a mythical cosmos caused the Sea of Void to tremble.

• Li Qing transformed the sea of death and pain into a world of torment and used Gu Yuntong to guide it through the mist.
• Li Qing countered the mist’s attacks by using different principles of pain against each other, allowing Gu Yuntong to reach the island.
• Li Qing found the art’s final volume, which described turning one’s True Radiance and will into a world that eternally punished the dead according to their sins.
• Li Qing connected the art to the Eighteen Levels of Hell and considered forming separate True Daos for hell and a blessed heavenly realm within the Chaos Universe Pearl.
• Li Qing speculated about creating three thousand complementary True Daos and Void Dao Principles, and the Sea of Void began shaking as something distant trembled.

Li Qing used Gu Yuntong’s Death Pain World to absorb and reconstruct the shattered principles on the island, then analyzed them to expand his True Script and study the death pain principle. He began considering how to gather True Daos and Void Daos into his Chaos Universe Pearl, while an unknown torrent stirred in a distant region of the Sea of Void.

• An unknown torrent appeared in a distant part of the Sea of Void and surged toward the region illuminated by the True Realm Sourceflow.
• Li Qing watched Gu Yuntong transform into the Death Pain World and realized the island was made from shattered principles left by a dead True Spirit Extremity Realm expert.
• Li Qing made Gu Yuntong’s Death Pain World absorb the island’s principle fragments, even as Gu Yuntong’s will began merging into the principles.
• Li Qing used the Control Core and the Fifth Source Stream to control the reconstructed principles and analyze them, rapidly increasing his True Script characters.
• Li Qing considered collecting True Daos and Void Daos in the Chaos Universe Pearl and building civilizations that could advance them beyond the True Realm.

Li Qing understood how the Four Sourceflows used competing power systems to control the growth of True Spirits and the True Realm, and resolved to disrupt their monopoly. He established the Death Pain World as a base, cultivated death pain within his Chaos Universe Pearl, and began calculating how to survive its next tribulation crossing.

• Li Qing realized the Four Sourceflows had created the True Dao Second Realm to connect their principles to the sourceflows and advance the True Realm, while factional conflict kept the number of True Spirits low.
• Li Qing restored the death pain principle, transformed the Death Pain Secret Realm into the Death Pain World, and prepared to use it and the Spirit-Severing Town Domain as bases for a new faction.
• Li Qing formed eighteen death pain worlds within the Chaos Universe Pearl's Netherworld, where souls burdened by karma and tribulations endured punishment that fed the death pain Dao.
• Li Qing sent ten thousand puppets to plunder souls from Lands of Void, and the resulting death pain gathered enough to threaten a principle great tribulation.
• Li Qing calculated the stages of the Chaos Universe Pearl's second tribulation crossing and concluded that delaying the Four Sourceflows and the Lord of Void during its first two stages would be crucial.

Li Qing planned to keep the Chaos Universe Pearl’s tribulation crossing hidden, remove the Fifth Source Stream to prevent a historical turning point, and prepare decoys and weapons against the Four Sourceflows and the Lord of Void. He created ten powerful avatars and ten Void Origin Divine Weapons, then left another avatar to control the Chaos Universe Pearl in case it triggered a turning point after he departed.

• Li Qing decided to take the Fifth Source Stream out of the Chaos Universe Pearl, cross the tribulation far from the battlefield, and use the book Void Origin Civilization History as bait to distract his enemies.
• Li Qing concluded that bearing a Sourceflow required entering the True Realm and that he needed to gather three thousand Truth and Void Extreme Realm principles before he could challenge the Sourceflows.
• Li Qing combined a True Light puppet and a Void Origin Puppet with the Fifth Source Stream’s radiance to create an avatar nearly indistinguishable from his main body.
• Li Qing created ten special avatars and sent them toward the True Realm Sourceflow region and the nearby Eternal Silence Region to lure his enemies into opening the Unknown Dimension.
• Li Qing forged ten Void Origin Divine Weapons at the cost of weakening the Aberrant Principle in Void Origin Civilization History by thirty percent.
• Li Qing split off an avatar to control the Chaos Universe Pearl, the ten divine weapons, and ten thousand Void Origin Puppets in case the Pearl triggered a historical turning point after he left.

Li Qing smelted the True Reality Spear into the Chaos Universe Pearl, adding the destruction principle, then split his preparations between his main body and an avatar to reduce the tribulation’s intensity. The principle great tribulation began as the death pain principle started condensing, with Li Qing working to protect it from corruption.

• Li Qing ground down the True Reality Spear inside the Chaos Universe Pearl and integrated its destruction principle into Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.
• Li Qing prepared a Void Vessel with Void Origin Puppets and selected weapons and records, then traveled to a position far from the Chaos Universe Pearl as decoy arrangements were deployed.
• Li Qing’s avatar reached the Chaos Universe Pearl’s predetermined coordinates and confirmed its tribulation was weaker after the fifth source stream left.
• Li Qing’s avatar released the aura of the death pain dao, triggering the principle great tribulation as the dao began condensing into a principle.
• Li Qing’s main body used civilization information essence to analyze and repair distortions in the death pain principle while the Chaos Universe Pearl’s other principles helped shield it.

Li Qing easily subdued the first Three-Ring Void Beast drawn to the Chaos Universe Pearl’s Principle Great Tribulation, but discovered that suppressing it amplified the tribulations. When another Void Beast and a True Spirit powerhouse arrived, he chose to hold them off rather than defeat them, slowing the tribulation’s growth.

• Li Qing concealed the Chaos Universe Pearl with Void Radiance as its Principle Great Tribulation began and a Three-Ring Void Beast appeared.
• Li Qing struck the First True Spirit Realm Void Beast with Destruction Principle, bound it, and suppressed it inside the Chaos Universe Pearl.
• Li Qing discovered that the suppressed beast and the Chaos Universe Pearl’s formation had amplified the surrounding tribulations.
• A Void Spirit controlling a Three-Ring Void Beast and a pursuing True Spirit powerhouse sensed the breakthrough and attacked Li Qing’s avatar.
• Li Qing split his Destruction True Dao’s power to defend against both attackers, then stalled instead of suppressing them and observed that the tribulations grew more slowly.

Li Qing used his Chaos Universe Pearl to deepen his tribulation in the Eternal Silence Region while Wudao True Person grew suspicious and sent an avatar to report him. Li Qing then deployed his bait avatars to strike across the True Realm and the Eternal Silence Region, leaving the Four Sourceflows and Infinite Aberrant Source trying to determine his real plan.

• Wudao True Person suspected that Li Qing was refining a weapon and sent a Principle-built avatar toward the True Realm Sourceflow region.
• Li Qing moved the Chaos Universe Pearl deeper into the Eternal Silence Region and found that the tribulation fluctuations remained manageable.
• Li Qing activated three bait avatars in the True Realm Sourceflow region, and they attacked three Intelligent Spirits before the Four Sourceflows sent True Spirit-level avatars after them.
• The three bait avatars ascended dimensions to evade the Four Sourceflows' attacks, leaving their pursuers confused.
• Li Qing sent seven more bait avatars to kill weaker Intelligent Spirits and Void Beasts, plunder parts of their remains, and retreat beyond the Eternal Silence Region.

Li Qing used repeated dimensional ascensions to strike the Four Sourceflows’ forces while evading retaliation, as the Lord of Time’s fusion triggered a spreading chaos of principles. After Wudao True Person reported the upheaval, the Four Sourceflows concluded Li Qing was forging a weapon capable of rivaling the True Realm and charged out to destroy it.

• Li Qing’s incarnations repeatedly attacked and withdrew, killing Intelligent Spirits and a Void Beast while the Four Sourceflows struggled to counter him.
• The Lord of Time completed his fusion with Mysterious Immortal Tian Chongguang and the God of Myriad Gods, unleashing a growing chaos of principles that threatened the Chaos Universe Pearl.
• Wudao True Person reached the Sourceflow boundary and transmitted images of the Destruction Principle fluctuations to the Four Sourceflows.
• The Calamity Sourceflow suspected Li Qing was making a Universe-Level True Dao Weapon capable of condensing multiple True Daos, and the other Sourceflows agreed it could become a threat like the True Realm.
• The Four Sourceflows left incarnations to guard the True Realm and sent their true bodies out to destroy Li Qing’s weapon, while the Infinite Aberrant Source noticed their departure.

Li Qing tried to draw the Four Sourceflows away from the Chaos Universe Pearl, but an unprecedented radiance erupted as the Pearl faced a new tribulation. His incarnation recognized a mysterious, self-contained structure forming around someone undergoing Tribulation Crossing and realized it was the Mysterious Immortal.

• The Four Sourceflows sent their incarnations to attack the True Realm while heading toward its boundary, and Li Qing decided to use his true body as bait.
• Li Qing piloted the Void Vessel into the True Realm Radiation Sourceflow and waited near a battle between a Three-Ring Void Beast and a First True Spirit Realm powerhouse.
• Li Qing's ten decoy incarnations attacked across the Land of Void, but the Four Sourceflows ignored them and guarded the regions with Sourceflow Incarnations.
• A vast radiance of countless principles spread across the Sea of Void, drawing the Four Sourceflows and Infinite Aberrant Origin toward the Chaos Universe Pearl.
• The Chaos Universe Pearl plunged into a mass of Principle Phenomenon Chaos as Wudao True Person, the Three-Ring Void Beast, and Li Qing's incarnation were caught in the upheaval.
• Li Qing's incarnation performed Dimensional Ascension and saw a palm-sized, self-contained structure forming around a speck of will, recognizing that the Mysterious Immortal was undergoing Tribulation Crossing.

Li Qing’s true body ambushed High Person Haotian and a Three-Ring Void Beast with the Void Origin Divine Weapon, cutting and sealing both with one strike. The Infinite Aberrant Source and the Four Sourceflows converged on him, and after Li Qing evaded an attack by entering the Unknown Dimension, the Infinite Aberrant Source sent an incarnation after him.

• Li Qing realized the Tribulations were attracting each other and struck High Person Haotian before the Lord of Void could arrive.
• Li Qing’s sword cleaved through High Person Haotian and the Three-Ring Void Beast, dividing and sealing them.
• The Three-Ring Void Beast’s connection alerted the Infinite Aberrant Source to Li Qing’s true body, so he split his power and sent his stronger half toward Li Qing.
• The Four Sourceflows formed a True Spirit Incarnation and attacked Li Qing, who blocked it with the Void Origin Divine Weapon.
• The Infinite Aberrant Source attacked Li Qing with Infinite Strike, but Li Qing entered the Unknown Dimension to evade him.
• The Infinite Aberrant Source opened a rift into the Unknown Dimension and sent an incarnation through it after Li Qing.

Li Qing’s true body fought Infinite Aberrant Source’s incarnation in the Unknown Dimension while the Four Sourceflows and their incarnations converged on his position. Infinite Aberrant Source suspected Li Qing was buying time for his treasure to condense another True Dao, and the chapter ended with him sensing that the mysterious radiance might come from a third power pathway.

• Infinite Aberrant Source sent a clone with ten percent of his power into the Unknown Dimension to hunt Li Qing, while his true body and the Four Sourceflows moved toward Li Qing’s true body.
• Li Qing met Infinite Aberrant Source’s clone with the Void Origin Divine Weapon, then used Aberrant Principle-Negation and Disorder to resist the clone’s Aberrant Principle-Nothingness.
• Li Qing calculated that Infinite Aberrant Source had limited opportunities to enter the Unknown Dimension and decided to stall until the Chaos Universe Pearl’s Third True Dao condensed.
• Infinite Aberrant Source held back his true body, reasoning that Li Qing could escape and that the Four Sourceflows’ true bodies should arrive before they attacked together.
• The Lord of Void told the Four Sourceflows’ True Spirit Incarnations that Li Qing had mastered his own Aberrant Principle and was likely using himself as bait to buy time for his treasure.
• Infinite Aberrant Source sensed the mysterious radiance across the Sea of Void and suspected that a third power pathway had appeared.

Li Qing's incarnation fled the principle chaos tribulation in the Chaos Universe Pearl as the Four Sourceflows and the Infinite Aberrant Source pursued him. They discovered that the Lord of Time had triggered the tribulation, but their incarnations focused on trapping Li Qing in both the real world and the Unknown Dimension.

• The Infinite Aberrant Source recognized the radiance as a principle chaos tribulation and ordered the incarnations to investigate its source.
• Li Qing's incarnation steered the Chaos Universe Pearl away from the tribulation's core while the Lord of Time unified his Three Dharma Bodies and began forming a mysterious principle.
• The Four Sourceflows' incarnations identified the Lord of Time at the tribulation's center, while the Infinite Aberrant Source's incarnation attacked Li Qing's pearl.
• Li Qing's incarnation escaped into the Unknown Dimension, and the five mighty beings opened a rift and sent incarnations to pursue and ambush him.
• The five mighty beings attacked the Chaos Universe Pearl from both dimensions; Li Qing's incarnation ascended dimensions to evade the real-world assault, only to face a five-direction ambush in the Unknown Dimension.

Li Qing used the principle chaos tribulation to evade the five mighty beings while preserving enough time and Void Origin Divine Weapons to continue crossing dimensions. As the Lord of Time revealed a new power structure, the five mighty beings split off new avatars to attack him, and Li Qing watched their move with cold resolve.

• Li Qing detonated a Void Origin Divine Weapon and burned a billion Void Stone Steles to propel the Chaos Universe Pearl beyond the five attacks and reach his chosen coordinates.
• Li Qing reduced the Chaos Universe Pearl into reality to restart its principle great tribulation, using the chaotic principles to slow the five mighty beings' pursuit.
• The Lord of Time began transforming into a waterlike structure that repelled principle chaos tribulations and rendered power and principles ineffective within its domain.
• After the five mighty beings' attack missed during the Chaos Universe Pearl's dimensional ascension, Li Qing detonated two more Void Origin Divine Weapons and reduced into reality at new coordinates.
• The Immortal Spirit Sourceflow proposed that the five mighty beings send new avatars to destroy the Lord of Time, and the Infinite Aberrant Source agreed.
• The five mighty beings sent new avatars toward the Lord of Time while their original avatars pursued the Chaos Universe Pearl, and Li Qing watched coldly.

The Lord of Time escaped into the Unknown Dimension, while Li Qing’s true body evaded the five mighty beings’ pursuit with a Randomness Leap. As the pursuers attacked both the Lord of Time and the Chaos Universe Pearl, Li Qing used their greed to set his next move in motion.

• The Lord of Time compressed his transformed power and escaped into the Unknown Dimension as the five mighty beings’ avatars attacked.
• Li Qing’s avatar used Radiance Fusion to send the Chaos Universe Pearl into the Unknown Dimension and dodge the avatars’ strike.
• Li Qing’s true body fled the five mighty beings, used a Void Origin Puppet’s explosion as cover, and escaped through a Randomness Leap.
• Li Qing emerged near a battlefield between the True Realm and the Void Origin Civilization and unleashed aberrant principle, revealing his location to the five mighty beings.
• The five mighty beings attacked Li Qing again as he tried to buy time for the Chaos Universe Pearl.
• The five mighty beings’ avatars attacked both the Lord of Time and the Chaos Universe Pearl, and Li Qing sent a Void Origin Divine Weapon against their torrent.

Li Qing escaped the five great powerhouses’ ambush in the Unknown Dimension while the Lord of Time deduced how to enter it and survived their attack. As Li Qing’s tribulation reached its final breath, the Lord of Time completed his Dao, attained Principle Law, and unleashed power that shook the Sea of Void.

• Li Qing’s Chaos Universe Pearl broke free after the five great powerhouses split their forces, preserving four Void Origin Divine Weapons for his next entries into the Void Dimension.
• The Lord of Time deduced that Li Qing could enter the Unknown Dimension using the Light of Truth, Void Civilization, and the Fifth Source Stream, then evaded the five great powerhouses’ attack and returned to the Reality Layer.
• The Lord of Time and Li Qing faced renewed attacks as the five great powerhouses’ avatars charged through the Principle Chaos Tribulation, whose interference delayed them.
• As Li Qing’s tribulation entered its final breath, the Lord of Time’s power transformed, and he endured the combined strike of the five great powerhouses’ avatars.
• The Lord of Time declared his Dao complete and unleashed power that devoured the Principle Chaos Tribulations; his presence reached one-third the strength of the Infinite Aberrant Source and the Four Sourceflows, and all beings received the information of Principle Law.

The Lord of Time revealed Principle Law, a power that could affect other Principles, and pursued Li Qing’s Chaos Universe Pearl through the Unknown Dimension. Li Qing burned more Stone Steles to escape and descend dimensions, leaving the Lord of Time to weigh the risks of pursuit as the other powerhouses recognized his unprecedented path.

• The Lord of Time appeared with Principle Law, breaking free of the five powerhouses’ blockade as Li Qing continued his Dimensional Ascension.
• The Lord of Time entered the Unknown Dimension and raced through Aberrant Principle to reach for the Chaos Universe Pearl, but Li Qing burned ten billion Stone Steles to propel it beyond his grasp.
• Li Qing recognized that Principle Law could suppress Aberrant Principle and burned another ten billion Stone Steles to create a conceptual distance of one hundred million light-years.
• Li Qing descended dimensions with the Chaos Universe Pearl, while the Lord of Time hesitated between pursuing him and conserving power against the other pursuers.
• The Immortal Spirit Sourceflow told the others that Principle Law was a new path beyond the Way of Truth and the Way of Void.

The Infinite Aberrant Source and the Four Sourceflows planned a three-sided assault to capture Li Qing, whose new path might hold the Root of Dao. As Li Qing’s Chaos Universe Pearl underwent Dimensional Reduction, attacks closed in from both the Unknown Dimension and the Reality Layer, leaving the pearl and its pursuers caught in a violent clash.

• The Infinite Aberrant Source agreed to help capture Li Qing and ordered the five mighty beings to use avatars from the Reality Layer and the Unknown Dimension to surround him.
• The five avatars attacked the Lord of Time as he rushed toward the Chaos Universe Pearl, and he raised a waterlike Principle Law to block them.
• The Lord of Time reached toward the Chaos Universe Pearl, but the force of the attacks shook his waterlike hand as the pearl underwent Dimensional Reduction.
• Two waves of avatars attacked the Chaos Universe Pearl from five directions in the Real World layer, while the Unknown Dimension pursuers also underwent Dimensional Reduction.
• The five mighty beings’ powers collided and opened a rift in the Unknown Dimension.

Li Qing's true body escaped the Five Great Powers by spending the power of his Void Origin Puppets and disappearing at a Randomness Point. Meanwhile, his avatar and the Chaos Universe Pearl remained under siege, and the Lord of Time's attack followed as Li Qing made one last attempt to buy time.

• The Five Great Powers attacked Li Qing's true body, but he used the book Void Origin Civilization History to withstand their clones while ascending to the Unknown Dimension.
• Li Qing expended the power of more than ten thousand Void Origin Puppets to evade the Five Great Powers' pursuit, then descended beside a Void Origin Puppet and vanished at a Randomness Point.
• The Infinite Aberrant Source opened a Vortex Void toward the Chaos Universe Pearl's location and saw that its siege had resumed half a breath earlier.
• Li Qing's avatar detonated the second-to-last Void Origin Divine Weapon to block the attacks surrounding the Chaos Universe Pearl.
• Li Qing burned ten billion stone steles to propel the Chaos Universe Pearl through the Sea of Void as the principle great tribulation continued to attack the death pain principle of the Eighteen Levels of Hell.

Li Qing completed the Chaos Universe Pearl’s transformation and escaped the five mighty beings’ ambush in the Unknown Dimension with the Lord of Time. After they broke through the encirclement, Li Qing used a reserve of power to pull ahead, leaving the Lord of Time chasing a hundred li behind.

• The Eighteen-Layer Death and Torment Hell Dao completed its transformation, and its Principle Imprint merged into the Chaos Universe Pearl as the great Principle tribulation ended.
• Li Qing made the Chaos Universe Pearl ascend dimensions just as the Lord of Time and the five mighty beings closed in, and they all pursued it into the Unknown Dimension.

• Li Qing and the Lord of Time coordinated an attack that blasted open a path upward and briefly blocked the surrounding attacks.
• Li Qing spent his remaining reserved power to speed up the Chaos Universe Pearl and widen the gap, preventing the Lord of Time from catching him.

Li Qing escaped the Lord of Time after the Chaos Universe Pearl condensed its third True Dao, but the Lord of Time revealed that he could use the Infinite Aberrant Source’s distinctive abilities. The Four Sourceflows returned to the True Realm to prepare, while the Infinite Aberrant Source gathered Aberrant Principle cultivators to attack it.

• Li Qing piloted the Chaos Universe Pearl beyond a Void Origin Puppet’s explosion and used a random leap to escape the Lord of Time’s pursuing Principle Law, completing the Pearl’s third True Dao.
