Lu Chen unleashed his full power against the Undying Heavenly Empress and shattered the Phoenix Nest, but Ning Fei intervened before he could finish her. The First Divine General appeared to defend the Empress, setting up a duel with Lu Chen.
Lu Chen fought Ning Fei, the aged foremost divine general who stood between him and the Undying Heavenly Empress. Their battle shook the universe, and Ning Fei was injured as the Empress rushed to him.
Lu Chen confronted the Undying Heavenly Empress and Ning Fei, but Chuan Ying arrived and urged Ning Fei to pursue a final battle against the forbidden zones. Lu Chen agreed to spare the Empress, allowing the two divine generals to depart for battle.
Chuan Ying and Ning Fei challenged Ancient Supremes in the Life Forbidden Zones while Lu Chen watched, then joined the war against the Phoenix Nest and the Underworld. The battle ended with the Phoenix Nest destroyed and the Underworld’s army nearly wiped out, but Lu Chen left the battlefield to pursue something he still sought.
After Ning Fei vanished, the Undying Heavenly Empress tried to summon the Undying Heavenly Emperor’s Faith Dao Body for revenge, but Lu Chen stopped her and revealed that it had been destroyed. She died after surrendering her essence blood, and Lu Chen searched the Emperor’s Dao platform, gaining the Xing and Lin Secrets.
After defeating the Undying Heavenly Empress, Lu Chen gained the Presence Secret and buried her remains before joining Chuan Ying outside the ruined Underworld. He gave Chuan Ying two Ancient Medicine Kings to heal his wounds and help him keep the Nether Emperor in check, then returned to the Purple Mansion Divine Land.
Lu Chen faced the ninefold immortal tribulation to reach the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven and advanced halfway into the Great Emperor realm. The Forbidden Zone Supremes attacked him while he was exhausted, but he escaped into the depleted Cosmic Frontier, with the Supreme from the Reincarnation Sea still pursuing him.
Lu Chen survived the Forbidden Zone Supremes’ Human Tribulation, but Carefree Heavenly Venerate emerged in person and tried to possess him. Lu Chen broke through the Heavenly Venerate’s attacks, and Carefree Heavenly Venerate revealed that he had previously seized another Dao attainer’s body.
Lu Chen recovered from his wounds with a pill refined from the Undying Heavenly Emperor’s essence blood and fought Carefree Heavenly Venerate, who ultimately used Nine-Turn Immortal Liquid to return to his peak. Carefree Heavenly Venerate revealed himself as the creator of the Travel secret and tore Lu Chen apart, but Lu Chen regenerated as the battle continued.
Carefree Heavenly Venerate used the Nine Secrets: Xing and its power over time to overwhelm Lu Chen, who fought back with his Nine-Layer Immortal Gold Pagoda and supreme secret techniques. The chapter ended with Carefree Heavenly Venerate unleashing a temporal attack that aged the pagoda’s manifested immortal spirits to death, leaving Lu Chen facing his most dangerous threat.
Lu Chen used the Wushi Secret Art to resist Carefree Heavenly Venerate’s control over time, then merged the origins of Taiyin and Taiyang to cultivate the chaos great dao. Carefree Heavenly Venerate’s final attack shattered Lu Chen’s body, but Lu Chen regenerated as the two primordial spirits fought inside his immortal platform.
Lu Chen killed Carefree Heavenly Venerate and became a supreme Great Emperor-level powerhouse, then traveled to the Underworld to confront the Prison-Suppressing Emperor and aid Chuan Ying. He revealed that the enemy Chuan Ying meant to fight was not the true Nether Emperor, but only an inheritor of the title.
Lu Chen and Chuan Ying attacked the Underworld after learning that its ruler was the Prison-Suppressing Emperor, not the Nether Emperor. They killed the last remaining Underworld Supreme, seized two ancient weapons, and sealed the weakened Underworld.
Lu Chen destroyed the Reincarnation Sea, announced the Underworld’s end, and entered the Undying Mountain, where he took its ripe Enlightenment Tea Leaves. He left without confronting the Stone Emperor or the other Ancient Supreme lurking there.
After proving his Dao, Lu Chen visited the Life Forbidden Zones and demanded compensation from the Supremes who had attacked him during his tribulation. As he left Heavenly Island, a new Great Emperor Tribulation began in a distant star domain, and Lu Chen turned to investigate.
Old Golden Crow seized the moment while Lu Chen kept the forbidden-zone Supremes at bay to undergo his Great Emperor Tribulation. As he battled the universe-spanning lightning, he neared becoming a Demon Race Great Emperor, closing the path to the Dao for the era’s other prodigies.
The Golden Crow ancestor became a Great Emperor and forged a golden Extreme Dao bell, while Lu Chen remained a rival source of power in the universe. Lu Chen visited the dying First Divine General, Chuan Ying, and promised to take him somewhere that might extend his life and let him glimpse immortality.
Lu Chen brought Chuan Ying to Mars and revealed the One World Mausoleum, hoping to find a way to extend the First Divine General’s life. Inside, they discovered the Undying Heavenly Emperor was dormant, and Chuan Ying resolved to kill him despite the danger.
Lu Chen and Chuan Ying found the Undying Heavenly Emperor trapped in a nirvana state, but Chuan Ying’s attack failed to harm him. Lu Chen explained that Great Emperor Wushi had entered a longevity-filled Strange World from the mausoleum, and proposed sending both Chuan Ying and the Undying Heavenly Emperor there.
Lu Chen and Chuan Ying used the Wushi Bell to force the Undying Heavenly Emperor’s nirvana flesh sphere into a passage to the Strange World, and Chuan Ying followed it through. After revisiting Earth and Big Dipper, Lu Chen arrived at Jade Lake, where his presence drew crowds of cultivators and old friends to hear him expound the Dao.
Lu Chen preached the Great Dao at Jade Lake, drawing experts from across the universe, including the wary Great Saint Hun Tuo. After seven days, he reunited with old friends before returning to the Purple Mansion Divine Realm.
After the Golden Crow Great Emperor’s rise left Lu Chen’s path to the throne seemingly blocked, Lu Chen declared that he would defy the Great Dao’s restriction and become an emperor. A century later, he reached the pinnacle beneath the Great Emperor Domain through alternative Dao attainment, but the reigning emperor’s Dao still held him back.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor went to the Purple Mansion Divine Realm to challenge Lu Chen and reclaim the glory he felt belonged to the reigning emperor. Their battle on the Mythic Battlefield escalated to full strength, leaving victory and survival undecided.
Lu Chen fought the Golden Crow Great Emperor in the Mythic Battlefield, turning their clash into a battle to the death. Lu Chen killed the reigning Great Emperor, and heaven and earth mourned his fall.
Lu Chen killed the Golden Crow Great Emperor on the Mythic Battlefield, shocking the universe and the Forbidden Zone Supremes. After driving off Supremes who tried to seize the emperor’s remains, he warned the forbidden zones and learned that they expected to face him on the Road to Immortality.
