• Xia Jiuyou feels discouraged after recognizing how far Ji Hao surpasses her. Her master, Gai Jiuyou, urges her to follow her own path and reminds her that Ji Hao has not yet attained the Dao. Xia renews her resolve to catch up.

• The Black Emperor accompanies Taihao, taunting primordial creatures with absurd, insulting greetings. Protected by Taihao’s presence, he provokes them without consequence.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

Significant Themes

Those present greet him as either the Sui Heavenly King or the Fallen Heavenly King; the repeated passage gives conflicting names.

Chapter Summary: “Eternity Becomes Void!”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Taihao Incarnation effortlessly repels a terrifying great sun launched by an Ancestor King, shocking everyone with physical strength that appears to surpass even an Ancient Emperor bloodline.
• The nine Ancestor Kings decide to attack him together, abandoning any pretense of fair combat. Human cultivators condemn their tactics, while the Ancient Clan dismisses Taihao as an immature prodigy.
• Taihao boldly declares that he will “slaughter Saints,” despite the enormous gap normally separating Saints from lower-level cultivators.
• The nine Saints unleash a combined assault that devastates the surrounding space, using Saint laws, divine chains, and overwhelming palm force.
• Taihao counters with his self-created secret technique, “Eternity Becomes Void.” Its temporal aspect reverses the effects of the Saints’ attacks, returning them to the state before they were launched.
• He then uses the technique’s spatial aspect to distort the battlefield, creating multiple layers of attacks from unexpected angles and preventing the Ancestor Kings from defending one another.
• Combining the Lunar and Solar powers, Taihao forms a Chaos divine spear. Guided by Nine Secrets: Qian and glimpses of the future, he accurately predicts the Saints’ movements and kills them one by one.
• After entering the Divine Forbidden Domain, Taihao reactivates Nine Secrets: Jie, multiplying his combat strength tenfold. He uses a Void-based technique to immobilize another Saint before piercing him with the Chaos spear.
• The spectators are stunned that Taihao has genuinely slain Saints while still only at the King level.
• The remaining five Ancestor Kings burn their origins in a desperate attempt to kill him. Taihao dismisses their struggle as “death throes” and prepares another devastating sword attack.

• He demonstrates increasing mastery over Eternity Becomes Void, revealing that the technique can manipulate both time and space and still has room for further development.
• His confidence and theatrical arrogance become even more pronounced. He adopts grand declarations reminiscent of a supreme emperor, though his internal thoughts reveal that he is partly joking and distracted by the possibility of provoking stronger figures.
• Little Phoenix gains a clearer role as a discerning observer and potential rival. Unlike the other spectators, he remains calm and immediately understands that ordinary Saints cannot defeat Taihao.
• Ye Fan is visibly shaken and conflicted, realizing that his earlier suspicions about Taihao’s extraordinary nature greatly underestimated him.
• Yaochi Saintess becomes openly impressed, comparing Taihao’s overwhelming performance to Great Emperor Wu Shi’s invincibility.

• The emergence of a supreme figure: His battle suggests that this era may produce an unparalleled Great Emperor.
• Technique and innovation: Taihao’s power does not rely solely on bloodline or brute force; his original technique combines temporal reversal, spatial distortion, prophecy-like perception, and Chaos power.
• Pride versus reality: The Ancient Clan boasts about Saint invincibility, but Taihao’s actions expose their confidence as empty arrogance.
• Destiny and the future: Nine Secrets: Qian allows Taihao to glimpse future possibilities, enabling him to “sentence” his enemies before their deaths.
• Legacy: Taihao’s connection to Great Emperor Wu Shi shapes how others perceive him, while his own achievements suggest he may eventually surpass the legacy he inherited.
• Comic relief amid epic conflict: Taihao’s grandiose speeches and thoughts about provoking Shi Hao contrast humorously with the otherwise apocalyptic battle.

Character Interactions

• Taihao directly confronts the Saints’ arrogance, answering their boasts with extravagant declarations before defeating them in battle.
• The remaining Saints’ desperation culminates in their decision to burn their origins, while Taihao treats their final resistance with contempt and prepares to finish them.
