Chapter Summaries

After Hua Yunfei cleared the Emperor Tower, the rankings revealed a coordinated group of Great Emperors dominating the top hundred. A disguised young man who left the tower was ambushed by eight Immortal Kings seeking the Heavenly Emperor inheritance, but he called for his Ancestor, and dozens of figures appeared to surround them.

• Hua Yunfei entered the light gate, and the rankings showed ninety-eight unfamiliar names beneath him and Xi Yue, pushing Yu Ning down to one hundred and tenth place.
• A blue-robed young man left the Emperor Tower, and several powerful figures secretly followed him.
• The blue-robed young man discovered that an Immortal King's illusion had trapped his flying boat, and the Lavish-Robed Man accused him of being Gou.
• The Lavish-Robed Man sealed the young man, and seven other Immortal Kings arrived to seize the Heavenly Emperor inheritance and kill him.
• The young man stopped pretending to panic, shouted for his Ancestor, and dozens of figures appeared to surround the eight Immortal Kings.

Hua Yunfei’s allies trapped the Immortal Kings who had tried to seize him, revealing that their hostage was only an avatar. Hua Yunfei reunited with Ye Bufan and Chu Qing'er, then entered the Emperor Tower under a new identity while the Double-Pupiled One called Di Tian over.

• The purple-robed middle-aged man summoned a force of Immortal Kings and sealed the space around the Lavish-Robed Man and the other seven.

• Hua Yunfei chose to enter the Emperor Tower under a new identity and wrote a name on the light screen.
• The Double-Pupiled One told Di Tian to come with him, but Di Tian turned and fled.

The Immortal Kings who conspired against "Gou" panicked when the Li Huo Immortal King died, and the Reincarnation Immortal King restrained herself to keep Hua Yunfei's identity hidden. A second fall seemed to trigger a vast blood-rain omen, but an overwhelming voice silenced it, leaving Long Aotian and the other witnesses stunned.

• Long Aotian and the witnesses marveled at the voice's immense power.

The Backer Sect ancestors subdued the surviving attackers, recruited Huang Zizai, and set out to punish the lineages behind the plot under false identities. Meanwhile, the Double-Pupiled One confronted Di Tian, who was overwhelmed in battle and then struck over the head by a man in white wielding a wooden club.

• The Double-Pupiled One struck Di Tian back with a punch and unleashed his double-pupiled power, leaving Di Tian badly outmatched.
• A man in white appeared behind Di Tian and hit him on the head with a wooden club, sending him crashing into the void.

Hua Linfeng exposed Di Tian as the mastermind behind the catastrophe thirty million years earlier and forced him to admit that he had killed Immortal King Lan Yan for the Great Nirvana Fruit Tree. Di Tian defended his actions as a necessary path to becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, while the Double-Pupiled One reeled at the truth.

• Hua Linfeng told the Double-Pupiled One that Di Tian had secretly controlled the Lost Clan’s attack on the Immortal World thirty million years earlier.
• Hua Linfeng accused Di Tian of killing Immortal King Lan Yan and revealed that Di Tian had split into three bodies through Three Corpses Refine Dao.

• The Double-Pupiled One expressed disbelief, but Di Tian insisted that Lan Yan had deserved to die and that his rise could have saved the Immortal World.

Hua Linfeng beheaded Di Tian after Di Tian admitted he had manipulated the Lost Clan to pursue the Great Nirvana Fruit Tree and Quasi-Immortal Emperorhood.

Hua Yunfei asked the Backer Sect ancestors about the Sea God Divine Spark and learned about the God Realm and its inheritance system. After they advised him against cultivating its methods or fusing with the weak Sea God’s spark, he returned to Heavenly Emperor Plain, where Xi Yue had tied the Double-Pupiled One’s record by reaching the ninety-ninth level.

• Hua Yunfei showed the Sea God Divine Spark to the Backer Sect ancestors and asked about the Sea God divine position.
• Hua Lingtian explained that the spark came from the God Realm and could grant its inheritor the Sea God Divine Body and the right to inherit the divine position.

• Hua Yunfei returned to Heavenly Emperor Plain and saw that Xi Yue had reached the ninety-ninth level, tying the Double-Pupiled One’s record.

Reincarnation Immortal King learned that Hua Yunfei needed the Forbidden Object and discovered that he was secretly Gou, then agreed to accompany him to Dao Xuan Mountain. After Hua Yunfei rejoined the others, Sun Moon Sacred Emperor rallied the little ancestors to challenge him, and several groups joined in.

• Martial Virtue Hall Master told Reincarnation Immortal King that Hua Yunfei needed the Forbidden Object, and she offered to seize it for him.

• Sun Moon Sacred Emperor proposed robbing Hua Yunfei, then urged the little ancestors to join him in trying to kick Hua Yunfei's backside.
• More than a dozen little ancestors from Celestial Secrets Peak joined Sun Moon Sacred Emperor, followed by five from Gouyuan Peak and four from Limitless Peak.

Hua Yunfei defeated the twenty-two Little Ancestors and punished Sun Moon Sacred Emperor, Yaoguang Great Emperor, and Celestial Star Great Emperor for challenging him. After the beating, he asked the watching Little Ancestors if anyone else wanted to fight him.

• Sun Moon Sacred Emperor recruited Yaoguang Great Emperor and Celestial Star Great Emperor, bringing his group to twenty-five before challenging Hua Yunfei for his treasures.

Jiang Ruoyao entered the Emperor Tower under the name “Dao,” aiming to become the strongest extraordinary woman, while Hua Yunfei explained that her strength came from her Eternal Immortal Body and mastery of time and space. Thirty minutes later, “Dao” matched Xi Yue’s record pace to the fiftieth floor and displaced her from second place on the historical speed rankings.

• After Xi Yue reached the hundredth floor, the crowd praised her but still ranked the mysterious “Gou” above all other prodigies.

The crowd and powerful figures speculated that the mysterious ranked names “Gou” and “Dao” belonged to a hidden Gou Dao faction, while the Supreme Dao Lord refused to reveal what he knew. The Martial Virtue Hall Master began suspecting Hua Yunfei was connected to the faction and that “Gou” might be his alias.

• The crowd linked the names “Gou” and “Dao,” wondered whether a golden age and a new Heavenly Emperor were coming, and feared the two prodigies cultivated Gou Dao.
• The great figures concluded that “Gou” and “Dao” were likely promoting Gou Dao, but the Supreme Dao Lord refused to divine their identities because someone had warned him against it.

• The Martial Virtue Hall Master suspected Hua Yunfei was “Gou” after seeing him celebrate despite reaching only the eighty-first floor, and remembered that Hua Yunfei had surpassed his own tower record.

The Martial Virtue Hall Master figured out that Hua Yunfei was Gou and complained that he had kept it secret, while the Reincarnation Immortal King defended Hua Yunfei. At the same time, three major powers ambushed the Black Hand Organization outside the Heavenly Emperor Plain, and its leader challenged them to call for more people.

As the battle continued, they slaughtered the remaining enemies with such ease that onlookers realized their strength surpassed ordinary true immortals.
