Ch. 354The Buddha Realm's Astonishing Hidden Strength

Wang Che and Zhao Wuji led 365 Golden Immortal Heaven-Patrolling Envoys to confront a Buddha Realm secretly fortified by the Thousand Buddhas Great World. After Buddhist forces revealed thousands of converted cultivators and resisted the Envoys’ attacks, Zhao Wuji activated the Zhou Tian Star-Dipper Grand Formation, forcing the realm’s Heavenly Dao power back inside its boundary wall.

  • Wang Che used the Heaven-Patrolling Compass to summon 364 Star Shuttles, joining his own as 365 Heaven-Patrolling Envoys surrounded the Buddha Realm.

  • More than ten thousand Buddhist Cultivators from the Spirit World's myriad races appeared, including over three thousand who had partly or fully transformed into true immortal bodies.
  • The Buddha Realm's believers and monks combined incense and fire prayer power with its Heavenly Dao to create a golden defensive curtain that withstood another attack.
  • Zhao Wuji directed the 365 Envoys to form the Zhou Tian Star-Dipper Grand Formation, whose stellar chains dimmed the curtain and drove the realm's Heavenly Dao power inside the boundary wall.
  • A True Immortal-level Buddhist Cultivator denounced the Envoys for disrupting the Buddhist Order's grand plan.

Ch. 355The Buddha Realm Followed in the Mysterious Yellow Realm's Footsteps

Ch. 357A Narrow Escape from the Heaven-Patrolling Envoy's Inspection

Zhao Hao concealed Haotian World and the surrounding planets from a Golden Immortal Heaven-Patrolling Envoy searching the Dead Star Domain. The envoy left without discovering the formation, but Zhao Hao resolved to expand its defenses after the inspections passed.

  • Three hundred and sixty-five Star Shuttles towed the battered Buddha Realm away as the Immortal Court continued its sweeping investigation of the star domains.
  • A Golden Immortal Heaven-Patrolling Envoy entered the Dead Star Domain and approached the planets protected by Zhao Hao's Primordial Chaos Myriad Spirits Formation.

  • Zhao Hai Clone sent Zhao Hao an unusual report from Hundred-Creation Immortal City.

Ch. 358The Clone's Crisis, a Chase to the Limit

Zhao Hai’s clone detected that the Immortal Court had tracked him and fled Southwind Immortal City, using [Chaos Law] and the enhancement system to sever the pursuit. He transformed into a Heavenly Demon and escaped toward the Savage Wilderness, while the pursuing Golden Immortal found his trail erased.

  • Zhao Hai sensed a causality lock connecting him and his tokens to the Immortal Court, so he abandoned the teleportation line and vanished from Southwind Immortal City.
  • In a secluded valley, Zhao Hai sacrificed the Immortal Court Identity Token and Loose Immortal Token in a failed enhancement, destroying both and weakening the tracking lock.
  • Zhao Hai used [Chaos Law] to enhance [Camouflage], erased his presence, and unleashed the Heavenly Demon Essence Blood stored in his Dimensional Space.

  • A Mid-stage Golden Immortal Heaven-Patrolling Envoy arrived in a Star Shuttle and discovered that the Heaven-Patrolling Compass had lost Zhao Hai’s trail.

Ch. 359The Loose Immortal Alliance and the Iron-Armored Dragon Beast

After the Immortal Court's investigation left the lower realm quiet, Zhao Hao shifted his attention to his Heavenly Demon Clone in the Immortal Realm. There, Zhao Hai watched two wolf-headed Loose Immortal Alliance cultivators wear down an Iron-Armored Dragon Beast, unnoticed by the fighters.

  • The Golden Immortal Heaven-Patrolling Envoy lost the trail of Zhao Hai and left the wilderness, cursing that ferocious beasts would kill him.

Ch. 360Capture successful, clone conversion

Zhao Hai waited until the two Wolf Clan True Immortals and the Iron-Armored Dragon Beast were exhausted, then used [Fleeting Life, Illusory Dream] to capture their minds. He planted demon seeds in all three, whose weakened origins still struggled against the invasion.

  • Zhao Hai spent ten days observing the battle and checking that no other powerful beings were nearby.
  • Zhao Hai enveloped the two Wolf Clan True Immortals and the Iron-Armored Dragon Beast in [Fleeting Life, Illusory Dream], leaving them motionless while the illusion continued to simulate their fight.
  • Zhao Hai entered the formation and used [Plant Demon in the Dao Heart] to send a demon seed into each captive.
  • The wolves' True Immortal wills and the beast's bloodline instincts resisted the seeds as Zhao Hai watched, confident that their weakened state and his [Chaos Law] would overcome them.

Ch. 361Transformation Complete, a Golden Immortal Opportunity

Zhao Hai transformed Lang Kui, Lang Li, and the Iron-Armored Dragon Beast into Demon Seed clones, then staged their escape so no observers would suspect what had happened. Their memories gave him access to the Loose Immortal Alliance and Ferocious Beast Alliance, and revealed that a treasure capable of helping a True Immortal reach the Golden Immortal Realm would soon appear in the Savage Wilderness Domain.

Ch. 362Heavenly Demon Transforms into a Dragon Beast, Ambushed En Route

Zhao Hai used the Iron-Armored Dragon Beast’s essence blood and the [Bloodline Reversion] divine ability to disguise himself as a late-stage True Immortal ferocious beast so he could enter the Primordial Beginning Baleful Mine. En route, four Loose Immortal Alliance cultivators trapped him in a gorge and demanded that he submit to their control.

  • Zhao Hai continued toward the Primordial Beginning Baleful Mine and sensed its killing intent, hundreds of True Immortal auras, and three Golden Immortal experts.

Ch. 364All Slots Filled, an Open Challenge

Zhao Hai reached the Primordial Beginning Baleful Mine after the Ferocious Beast Alliance had filled all one hundred entry slots, but he challenged the camp rather than accept being turned away. The Alliance’s Golden Immortal declined to intervene, and three True Immortal Late Stage beasts attacked Zhao Hai together.

  • A Pangolin Demon Beast, a Two-Headed Demon Wolf, and a Berserk Giant Ape attacked Zhao Hai together as the other Golden Immortals watched.

Ch. 365Fighting for Spots? This Was Clearly a One-Sided Slaughter!

Zhao Hai unleashed a Geng Metal tornado on three True Immortal Late Stage beasts, overwhelming their defenses and shredding them as he swept through the Ferocious Beast Alliance's camp. The watching Loose Immortal Alliance, Immortal Court, and remaining beasts were left stunned and fearful as the blood-filled storm continued into the wasteland.

  • Zhao Hai charged straight at the Berserk Giant Ape, pangolin, and Two-Headed Demon Wolf instead of retreating.

Zhao Hai used a metal tornado to cripple three True Immortal Late Stage ferocious beasts, drawing the attention of the Golden Immortals overseeing the battlefield. After the mine’s barrier began to destabilize and his Chaos Law reacted, he focused on the coming opening of the Primordial Beginning Baleful Mine.

  • Zhao Hai’s metal storm battered the Berserk Giant Ape, pangolin, and Two-Headed Demon Wolf until the Ferocious Beast Alliance’s Golden Immortal intervened and shattered it with a claw.
  • The three injured beasts fell with their regeneration suppressed, while the Golden Immortal discovered that Zhao Hai’s storm had scratched his supposedly indestructible palm.
  • The Immortal Court and Loose Immortal Alliance Golden Immortals noticed the fluctuation in the Ferocious Beast Alliance Golden Immortal’s aura and examined Zhao Hai more carefully.
  • Zhao Hai took the front position in the Ferocious Beast Alliance camp, and the Earth-Rending Berserk Rhino and ninety-odd other ferocious beasts lowered their heads and retreated behind him.
  • The Primordial Beginning Baleful Mine’s barrier twisted as a surge of killing intent burst through, and Zhao Hai’s Chaos Law pulsed before a system notification appeared and vanished.

Ch. 367Oh No, I Think I Swallowed the Wrong Thing!

Zhao Hai mistook the gray-black Sha Qi pouring from the Primordial Beginning Baleful Mine for the Primordial Beginning Killing Intent that had resonated with his origin and rushed to swallow it. After discovering he had gulped down mostly ordinary turbid Qi, he became the target of ridicule from the gathered immortals and beasts.

  • The three Golden Immortals combined their tokens to open a circular vent in the mine's azure barrier as the earth-vein tide surged.

Ch. 368Going Along with the Mistake, the Primordial Beginning Killing Intent Entrance

Zhao Hai pretended to inhale waste baleful energy while secretly using [Chaos Law] and [Heavenly Hound Devours the Moon] to draw pure primordial beginning killing intent from deep within the mine. After he swallowed dozens of streams before the mine fully opened, the watching cultivators and Golden Immortals reacted with shock and greed, and the two rival Golden Immortals confronted each other over him.

  • Zhao Hai realized the grayish-black energy was waste baleful energy and decided to keep pretending to inhale it as cover.
  • Zhao Hai poured his first-tier [Chaos Law] into [Heavenly Hound Devours the Moon] and secretly reached into the mine's deepest level.

Ch. 370If Not Now, When?

Zhao Hai provoked a standoff among the three factions after swallowing most of the Primordial Beginning Baleful Mine’s Sha Qi, while the Ferocious Beast Alliance’s Golden Immortal defended him. As the Golden Immortals clashed, Zhao Hai fled toward the Gobi Desert, leaving his protector furious and unable to follow.

  • The Immortal Court’s Golden Immortal demanded that the Ferocious Beast Alliance account for Zhao Hai taking most of the mine’s Sha Qi, and the Loose Immortal Alliance’s Golden Immortal tacitly supported him.
  • The Ferocious Beast Alliance’s Golden Immortal rejected the demand, argued Zhao Hai had broken no rules, and threatened anyone who tried to harm him.
  • The Immortal Court’s Golden Immortal called Zhao Hai an animal and moved to incite the other True Immortals against him, prompting the Ferocious Beast Alliance’s Golden Immortal to threaten him and the two to prepare for battle.

  • The Ferocious Beast Alliance’s Golden Immortal grew angry because he could not abandon the other ferocious beasts to chase Zhao Hai.

Ch. 371An easy counterkill, two hundred True Immortal clones?

  • The Immortal Court and Loose Immortal Alliance True Immortals chased Zhao Hai, leaving the ferocious beasts free to seize the Primordial Beginning Killing Intent emerging from the mine.

Ch. 372Something Wasn't Right

Blackscale suspected Zhao Hai had deliberately lured the two hundred pursuing True Immortals away, while the Immortal Court's Golden Immortal waited for the army to return. After two hours with no word, the Golden Immortal searched the Gobi and found the traces of all two hundred had vanished.

  • Blackscale recalled Zhao Hai surviving the combined assault and wondered if he had chosen to draw the pursuers away, then led the Ferocious Beast Alliance from the mine.
  • The Immortal Court's Golden Immortal waited for the pursuing army while the Loose Immortal Alliance's Golden Immortal questioned why no one had sent a message.

Ch. 373If I Report Myself, Will the Immortal Court Pay the Reward?

After discovering that the Iron-Armored Dragon Beast had slaughtered the pursuing True Immortals and taken the mine’s Sha Qi, the Immortal Court Golden Immortal issued a massive bounty for the beast. The chapter ended with the blue-robed young man recognizing himself in the wanted portrait and wondering whether he could claim the reward by reporting himself.
