Chapter Summaries

Jia Duobao fled from three Great Emperor law incarnations during his lightning tribulation, then hid inside a powerful Tortoise Shell to withstand the strikes. When Sun Moon Sacred Emperor charged him, Jia Duobao’s overlooked incarnation self-detonated and destroyed him, revealing that Jia Duobao had been setting a trap.

• Jia Duobao ran from Sun Moon Sacred Emperor, Yaoguang Great Emperor, and Celestial Star Great Emperor, hoping to survive until his lightning tribulation ended.
• Sun Moon Sacred Emperor urged the other two Great Emperors to self-detonate, while they and Hua Yunfei exchanged taunts about their past fight.
• Hua Yunfei sensed a powerful cultivator approaching, warned the three Great Emperors to go easy on Jia Duobao, and then left.

• Sun Moon Sacred Emperor charged at the shell, but Jia Duobao’s overlooked incarnation self-detonated and blew him apart.
• Yaoguang Great Emperor and Celestial Star Great Emperor realized Jia Duobao had been acting like prey while setting a trap.

Jia Duobao used his tricks and Tortoise Shell to survive the attacks of the three Great Emperors as his lightning tribulation intensified. Meanwhile, Hua Yunfei ambushed two members of the Heaven-Stealing Organization, harvested their bodies for his disciples, and discussed food with the Martial Virtue Brick.

• Jia Duobao tricked the Sun Moon Sacred Emperor and defended himself from the three Great Emperors inside his Tortoise Shell, while his incarnations detonated and provoked a stronger lightning tribulation.

• Hua Yunfei ambushed and killed a second Heaven-Stealing Organization member, then divided both corpses into useful parts.
• Hua Yunfei explained that he would use the Quasi-Emperor Blood to strengthen his disciples and make soup from the Quasi-Emperor Bones, prompting the Martial Virtue Brick to consider becoming human so it could eat.

Hua Yunfei and the Martial Virtue Brick watched as three Heaven-Stealing Organization experts gathered to hunt them, led by the formidable Space-Time Human King. The attackers sealed the surrounding starry sky, while Hua Yunfei recognized that the Human King might be more powerful—and less firmly controlled by the organization—than they believed.

• Hua Yunfei and the Martial Virtue Brick sensed new enemies arriving and decided to strike hard rather than let them escape.
• A middle-aged man in Violet-Gold Battle Armor met the Space-Time Human King, who cut his neck to punish his mocking tone.
• An old man in plain cloth joined them, and the three agreed to search for their targets and destroy their faction if the targets had fled.
• The Space-Time Human King sensed recent movement through space and led the group toward the targets, while Hua Yunfei watched from afar.
• The middle-aged man and the old man sealed the surrounding starry sky, and the old man released a Space-Devouring Worm to detect breaches.
• The Space-Time Human King took control of the surrounding space, as Hua Yunfei and the Martial Virtue Brick discussed her Supreme Bone, limited luck, and possible resistance to the Heaven-Stealing Organization.

Hua Yunfei ambushed the Space-Time Human King, stole her Supreme Bone and Dao Fruit, and exposed her plans to become an Emperor. He left her alive because he wanted her to do something for him.

• The Space-Time Human King, a plainly dressed old man, and a middle-aged man triggered an Emperor Formation while trying to divine what had happened, and Hua Yunfei’s Martial Virtue Brick killed the old man’s Space-Devouring Worm.
• The Space-Time Human King revealed that she was only an avatar, leaving the plainly dressed old man and the middle-aged man trapped in the formation’s deadly lightning.

• Hua Yunfei explained that the Space-Time Human King had used the Heaven-Stealing Organization as a cover while pursuing her own path to Emperorhood, then admitted that he wanted her to do something for him.

Hua Yunfei forced the Space-Time Human King to become his informant, returned her Dao Fruit with a hidden technique inside, and kept her Supreme Bone. After Martial Virtue Brick killed two Heaven-Stealing Organization members, the organization ordered the Space-Time Human King to fight Hua Yunfei again, though she knew she could not defeat him.

• Hua Yunfei learned that the Space-Time Human King could use her Dao Fruit to evade the Heaven-Stealing Organization’s soul curse and ordered her to report the organization’s major moves.
• Hua Yunfei planted a special technique in the Dao Fruit and returned it to the Space-Time Human King, but refused to return her Supreme Bone.
• Martial Virtue Brick killed two Heaven-Stealing Organization members in the Immortal Slaughtering Sky Array and waited for more enemies to arrive.
• Hua Yunfei returned to Martial Virtue Brick and doubted that the Heaven-Stealing Organization would abandon its plans after losing a few pawns.
• The Space-Time Human King met her black-robed guide, who told her the organization had ordered her to fight Hua Yunfei again and kill him.
• The Space-Time Human King refused, saying she was no match for Hua Yunfei and would die if she went.

The Space-Time Human King and Tang Zizai recruited Great Emperor Xu Fa to confront Hua Yunfei, who prepared a trap while arranging backup. The two sides met near Dark Night Star, where Xu Fa’s divine general demanded that the Space-Time Human King kneel.

• The Space-Time Human King told Tang Zizai that Hua Yunfei had an imperial formation and had threatened to fight rather than retreat or reveal information.
• The Space-Time Human King said she had intercepted a strand of Hua Yunfei’s heavenly secrets, and Tang Zizai revealed that Great Emperor Xu Fa would accompany them.
• Hua Yunfei learned of Xu Fa’s arrival, confirmed Martial Virtue Brick’s confidence, and deliberately left a faint trail to make the Heaven-Stealing Organization believe he was still nearby.
• Hua Yunfei sent a communication talisman toward the Big Dipper Star Region, and a white-robed middle-aged man received it and went to watch over him.
• Tang Zizai and the Space-Time Human King met Great Emperor Xu Fa outside Dark Night Star with his four divine generals; Tang Zizai knelt, while the Space-Time Human King only bowed.
• The First Divine General rebuked the Space-Time Human King for refusing to kneel before Great Emperor Xu Fa.

Space-Time Human King led Great Emperor Xu Fa and the four divine generals to Hua Yunfei, believing a Great Emperor would easily kill him. Xu Fa found Hua Yunfei and crushed the starry sky around him in his palm, apparently killing him.

• Space-Time Human King refused to kneel to Great Emperor Xu Fa, who killed Tang Zizai after noticing his lecherous thoughts toward her.

• Space-Time Human King and the divine generals believed Hua Yunfei was dead and congratulated Xu Fa.

Hua Yunfei revealed that he had survived by sending Martial Virtue Brick into Great Emperor Xu Fa’s body, where it began destroying him from within. Hua Yunfei then trapped Xu Fa and the Divine Generals in the Immortal Slaughtering Sky Array and attacked, leaving the battle raging after he killed the Third Divine General.

• Great Emperor Xu Fa killed Hua Yunfei’s apparent form, but Martial Virtue Brick emerged from a curse-like mark and attacked his body and Dao Platform.
• Xu Fa unleashed his Imperial power, but Martial Virtue Brick warned that doing so risked awakening the Heavenly Dao and bringing divine punishment.
• The real Hua Yunfei returned with seven Emperor Armaments and numerous Supreme Weapons, then raised the Immortal Slaughtering Sky Array around Xu Fa and the others.
• Xu Fa revealed that an Immortal Weapon had entered his body and was suppressing him, while Hua Yunfei unleashed the array’s blood-colored thunder.
• The Third and Fourth Divine Generals moved to protect Xu Fa as the First and Second tried to hold off Hua Yunfei, but Hua Yunfei left weapons to face the First and Second and struck down the Third Divine General.
• Hua Yunfei charged the Fourth Divine General, who resisted despite his fear.

Hua Yunfei and the Emperor Armaments fought Great Emperor Xu Fa and the Space-Time Human King while the Divine Generals were overwhelmed. When Hua Yunfei called for help, the sixty-ninth-generation ancestor of Daoyuan Peak appeared, but Great Emperor Xu Fa recognized him as an avatar and challenged him.

• Hua Yunfei killed the Fourth Divine General with one punch as the Eastern Sacred Sword and the Sky Piercing Battle Armor suppressed the First and Second Divine Generals.
• The Third and Fourth Divine Generals sacrificed their divine souls to help Great Emperor Xu Fa, but the Supreme Cauldron of the Pill Emperor destroyed them with the Desolate God Halberd's help.
• The Desolate God Halberd and the Supreme Cauldron of the Pill Emperor attacked the Space-Time Human King, who led them toward the First and Second Divine Generals.
• Hua Yunfei struck Great Emperor Xu Fa with the Zhu Emperor Hammer, but Xu Fa caught it and proved too strong for Hua Yunfei to risk fighting alone.
• Hua Yunfei summoned the sixty-ninth-generation ancestor of Daoyuan Peak, who arrived and praised him before confronting Great Emperor Xu Fa.
• Great Emperor Xu Fa recognized that the white-robed ancestor was an avatar and sneered that an avatar dared to oppose him.

Hua Yunfei’s ancestor defeated Great Emperor Xu Fa with a single blow and erased his presence after Xu Fa fled. Jiang Ruoyao and the Chaos Godchild later investigated the cleaned battlefield, while Jiang suspected a young man might have been responsible.

• The white-robed middle-aged man advised the Martial Virtue Brick, then struck Great Emperor Xu Fa and destroyed his Emperor Body.
• Great Emperor Xu Fa escaped the Emperor Formation with the Space-Time Human King and two divine generals, but the white-robed man pursued him and erased his Emperor’s Might.
• The white-robed man told Hua Yunfei to summon him again if trouble arose, then vanished.
• Hua Yunfei and the Martial Virtue Brick cleaned the battlefield and left, while Jia Duobao was already safely in Hua Yunfei’s sleeve after completing his tribulation.
• Jiang Ruoyao and the Chaos Godchild arrived later and concluded that Great Emperor Xu Fa had likely been defeated by a hidden power.
• Jiang Ruoyao suspected a young man had cleaned the battlefield, but the Chaos Godchild dismissed the idea.

Hua Yunfei returned to the Backer Sect with Jia Duobao, then spent the following year cultivating as the universe prepared for the Emperor’s Road. Two years later, spiritual energy surged across the universe, and the Golden Age drew near as cultivators found it easier to break through.

• The Primordial Divine Territory’s Supreme demanded an investigation into the traitor who had let Great Emperor Xu Fa enter, and the Chaos Godchild vowed to punish his uncle if he was guilty.
• At the Backer Sect gate, Jia Duobao and Elder Shi swapped copies of the risqué Dao art Spring and Autumn while Hua Yunfei watched with disapproval.
• Hua Yunfei brought Jia Duobao to Daoyuan Peak, checked on the sleeping Ya Ya, and took Jia Duobao into the Time-Space Divine Realm to cultivate.
• Over the next year, Hua Yunfei planted the Enlightenment Stone beneath the sect and gave the Slaughtering Immortal Array’s platform to the Boundless Supreme and Blood Lotus Supreme.
• As the Emperor’s Road approached, ancient clans and sects across the universe emerged from seclusion, while Backer Sect and Inviting Moon Palace disciples increasingly became Dao Companions.
• Two years later, spiritual energy revived throughout the universe, and cultivators began reaching the Sage, Saint King, and Great Saint realms more easily.

As the Golden Age and Spiritual Energy Tide arrived, old immortals repeatedly failed their Emperor Tribulations. A mysterious Glazed Pagoda then faced a universe-spanning tribulation, revealed its extraordinary power, and demanded that the heavens send their strongest attack.

• A year after Quasi-Emperors began emerging in greater numbers, the Golden Age arrived and the Heavenly Dao awakened, unleashing the Spiritual Energy Tide.
• An old immortal failed his Emperor Tribulation and died, and other dying immortals continued to gamble their lives on Emperor Tribulations.
• In the second year of the Golden Age, a terrifying Emperor Tribulation appeared alongside a radiant Glazed Pagoda, but no one could find a person undergoing it.
• Cultivators speculated that the Glazed Pagoda itself was undergoing the tribulation, and an ancient-race prodigy was relieved that no one seemed to be becoming an emperor.
• The Glazed Pagoda withstood the first lightning strike as a Nine-Colored Heavenly Tribulation gathered, then spoke arrogantly and demanded the strongest attack.

The Glazed Pagoda endured the nine-colored lightning tribulation and fought the Chaos Bell, an Emperor Armament Law manifestation summoned by the Heavenly Dao. After defeating and dispersing the Chaos Bell, the Glazed Pagoda left the universe wondering how powerful its master must be.

• The Glazed Pagoda mocked the nine-colored lightning tribulation and treated its furious thunder strikes as a massage.
• The tribulation summoned a Chaos Bell manifestation, and the Glazed Pagoda taunted it by calling it “Little Bell.”
• The Glazed Pagoda and the Chaos Bell exchanged attacks, and the Chaos Bell was trapped and damaged by the Glazed Pagoda’s glazed immortal light.
• The Chaos Bell broke free with cracks across its body, but the Glazed Pagoda remained confident and refused to use his full strength.
• The tribulation unleashed a stronger lightning strike, and the Glazed Pagoda emerged from the thunder and crushed the Chaos Bell until it vanished.
• Living beings across the universe marveled at the Glazed Pagoda’s victory and speculated that its master could be unstoppable in this era.

The Glazed Pagoda completed his Emperor Armament tribulation, then encountered a hidden Great Emperor who tried to recruit him into the Heaven-Stealing Organization. When the mysterious existence demanded to meet the Glazed Pagoda’s master, Ye and the De brick ambushed and captured him.

• The Heavenly Dao frightened the Glazed Pagoda with manifestations of more than a hundred Emperor Armaments before ending the tribulation, and the Glazed Pagoda became an Emperor Armament.
• The Glazed Pagoda flew toward the Big Dipper Star Region and noticed a hidden follower leaking the aura of the Heaven-Stealing Immortal Records.
• The mysterious existence identified himself as a Great Emperor from the Heaven-Stealing Organization and tried to recruit the Glazed Pagoda, but the Glazed Pagoda tricked him into looking for his master behind him.
• When the mysterious existence demanded to meet the Glazed Pagoda’s master, Ye and the De brick attacked, tore apart his Emperor Body, and sealed him.
• The Glazed Pagoda told the captured Great Emperor that his master really had been behind him.

Hua Yunfei defeated and killed a mysterious Great Emperor from the Heaven-Stealing Organization, then learned that the group promised its recruits a path toward immortality. After Hua Yunfei ordered the battlefield cleaned, the awakened Heavenly Dao erased the remaining trace of karma.

• Hua Yunfei and the Martial Virtue Brick overwhelmed the mysterious flood-dragon Great Emperor, and the Martial Virtue Brick celebrated his revenge for De Ye.
• Hua Yunfei searched the mysterious being's soul and discovered that even Emperor-level members of the Heaven-Stealing Organization were bound by powerful restrictions.
• The mysterious being tried to recruit Hua Yunfei, claiming the organization could help him become immortal and warning that those who refused would never reach the Immortal World.
• Hua Yunfei rejected the offer, extinguished the being's final Emperor soul, and kept its body and remains for Ye Bufan, Huang Xuan, and the others.
• Hua Yunfei ordered the Martial Virtue Brick and the Glazed Pagoda to erase the battlefield's traces, but the Heavenly Dao descended and shattered the lingering thread of karma.

After the Glazed Pagoda’s Emperor Armament tribulation shook the universe, Jiang Ruoyao suspected Hua Yunfei was behind it and urged the Primordial Divine Territory to use underhanded tactics against incoming forces from three universes. Backer Sect’s rapid development had also seen several elders die, including its over-two-thousand-year-old Scripture Pavilion Master.

• Hua Yunfei reassured Martial Virtue Brick that the Heavenly Dao could not watch them forever, then returned to Backer Sect with the Glazed Pagoda and Martial Virtue Brick.
• Primordial Legacies compared the Glazed Pagoda’s unprecedented tribulation to the Chaos Bell’s and wondered whether a prodigy matching the Chaos Great Emperor had appeared.
• Jiang Ruoyao suspected Hua Yunfei had caused the tribulation, and the Primordial Divine Lord asked whether she was certain.
• A messenger reported that forces from three universes were opening passages into the Primordial Universe, so Jiang Ruoyao advised her father to lure them in and attack with hidden arrays and other schemes.
• At Backer Sect, the Scripture Pavilion Master died peacefully after five years of the sect’s development.

With the Golden Age and the Time-Space Divine Realm strengthening the Backer Sect, Lin Yang invited Yun Tian Zhenren for tea and sent him to the Ancestral Land. Yun Tian Zhenren passed on his role as Sect Leader to Lin Yang, while the sect's elders began worrying that Lin Yang might follow his master's ways.

• Lin Yang told Yun Tian Zhenren that it was time for him to rest in the Ancestral Land, then knelt and invited him to die.
• Yun Tian Zhenren accepted Lin Yang's actions, named him the next Sect Leader, and instructed him and his senior brothers on how to manage the sect.

• The funeral bell rang, and Backer Sect's disciples learned that Lin Yang had sent Yun Tian Zhenren off with tea.
• The elders discussed their fear that Lin Yang might become like Yun Tian Zhenren and resolved to warn him not to imitate his master.

Ya Ya awoke after sleeping for nine years, and Daoyuan Peak celebrated her return. As the Emperor’s Road approached, Hua Yunfei decided she could not go with the others, and the chapter ended with Qin Yi arriving as a possible caretaker.

• Hua Yunfei learned that Lin Yang had sent Yun Tian Zhenren off and gathered Ye Bufan and the others to offer incense.
• Ya Ya awoke after nine years of sleep, reunited with her companions, and asked Chu Qing'er to prepare a feast.
• Ye Bufan worried that Ya Ya had barely grown, while Hua Yunfei concluded that her unusual physique might explain it.
• Hua Yunfei said Ya Ya could not enter the Emperor’s Road because her identity could expose her and the Backer Sect to danger.
• Huang Xuan proposed a caretaker for Ya Ya, and Qin Yi arrived at Daoyuan Peak as Ya Ya and Jin Jin greeted her.

Hua Yunfei and the others shared a feast at Daoyuan Peak while Qin Yi agreed to look after Ya Ya during their planned journey to the Emperor's Road. Qin Yi urged them to prioritize their safety and promised to arrange support, while Lin Yang continued settling into his role as Sect Leader.

• Chu Qing'er served the group a lavish meal and prepared Emperor-level dragon meat, which Hua Yunfei had refined to remove its killing intent.
• Jia Duobao considered pursuing Qin Yi, but Hua Yunfei warned him that he was no match for her and should not try to force anything.
• Hua Yunfei asked Qin Yi to care for Ya Ya while he and the others ventured onto the Emperor's Road in a year, and Qin Yi readily agreed.
• Qin Yi warned Hua Yunfei about the Emperor's Road's dangers and told him to use his Identity Jade Pendant to summon help if needed.
• Qin Yi said she would speak with Sect Leader Lin about having ancestors guard outside the Emperor's Road, while Hua Yunfei and the others promised to prioritize survival.
• The narration noted that Lin Yang had succeeded Yun Tian Zhenren as Sect Leader a year earlier and had grown more capable at managing the sect.

Lin Yang summoned Gou Yuan Zhenren and Wuji Zhenren to discuss establishing a Funeral Hall, then revealed his real reason for inviting Gou Yuan Zhenren: he asked him to meet death. The next morning, the hall opened with fresh mourning-clothes exchange rules and detailed funeral procedures posted outside.

• Gou Yuan Zhenren feared Lin Yang's invitation to drink tea meant he would be sent off, and Wuji Zhenren tried to flee before Gou Yuan Zhenren dragged him to Backer Peak.
• Lin Yang showed the elders a book titled "The 10086 Ways a Cultivator Can Die" and explained that the sect would establish a Funeral Hall to replace worn mourning clothes and organize funerals.
• Gou Yuan Zhenren and Wuji Zhenren reluctantly accepted Lin Yang's proposal, then tried to leave before he could reveal his second matter.
• Lin Yang asked Gou Yuan Zhenren to meet death, while Wuji Zhenren had already slipped away.
• The next morning, disciples gathered at the newly built Funeral Hall and read its mourning-clothes exchange rules and detailed funeral procedures.
