The Mother Ancestor Cult sent its Protectors’ Original Bodies and unleashed hidden trump cards, turning the battle against the Venerables into a massacre. Zhou Zheng survived their combined assault with barely a lasting injury and left to rescue the remaining Venerables.

• Fire Cheng Venerable joined the battle, and the three Holy Protectors decided to use their trump cards before the Mother Ancestor Cult was worn down.

• Zhou Zheng went to rescue the surviving Venerables as Phoenix Venerable, North Profound Palace Master, and others also rushed to help.

The Venerables used the Blood Blade Divine Emperor’s formations and repeated Clone assaults to reduce the Mother Ancestor Cult’s forces to just over forty Protectors. As the Cult searched the mountain range, a powerful, icy aura emerged, and Zhou Zheng recognized the long-awaited, gravely wounded being the Cult had sought.

Gu Ganluo, the awakened owner of the Chaos Flying Boat, offered to help whichever side could endure ten breaths in his red light. Zhou Zheng entered first, then used Space-Time Annihilation to wipe out the Mother Ancestor Cult Guardians, leaving the battle poised for his confrontation with Gu Ganluo.

• Gu Ganluo revealed himself as the Seventh Holy Son under the Bone Ancestor and offered aid to either side in exchange for help recovering from his injuries.

As the Mother Ancestor Cult’s war against the God Realm continued for nearly ten thousand years, Zhou Zheng’s cultivation advanced through extensive battles and time in the Initial Land. His Space-Time Dao unexpectedly broke through to the Dominator Level, leaving him newly advanced while his other Daos still had room to grow.

• The Mother Ancestor Cult attacked the lairs of the God Realm’s Dominators, and the Primordial Master urged them to endure the raids while the Blood Blade Divine Emperor searched for the enemy’s lair.

• During cultivation, Zhou Zheng unexpectedly advanced his Space-Time Dao to the Dominator Level.

Zhou Zheng mastered the Dominator Level Space-Time Dao but chose not to break through physically so he could still enter the Spiritual Cultivation Universe. Meanwhile, the Mother Ancestor Cult set a plan in motion, and Bloody Dominator Niro claimed his subordinate had found their lair, prompting the Dominators to investigate.

• Zhou Zheng decided to delay his physical breakthrough and used his new understanding to comprehend the Chaos Flying Boat’s formations far more quickly.

• Bloody Dominator secretly informed the Mother Ancestor Cult Cult Masters that the Dominators had set out, while the Dominators decided to attack the suspected lair.

• Mi Feng survived using a life-preserving treasure but suffered severe injuries and called for help as Zhou Zheng’s three clones closed in.

Zhou Zheng’s Space-Time Dao breakthrough let him and the Island Master of Time and Space kill a Mother Ancestor Cult Leader’s Clone, though the Dominators suffered heavy losses and retreated. The Dominators identified the Black Fortress as the cult’s lair, but the cult’s attacks on the universe intensified, and Zhou Zheng resolved to finish mastering the Chaos Flying Boat’s formations so he could destroy them.

• Zhou Zheng and the Island Master of Time and Space joined forces to destroy a Mother Ancestor Cult Leader’s Clone after Zhou Zheng revealed his Space-Time Dao breakthrough.
