After Lu Chen killed the Golden Crow Great Emperor, the universe reeled, the Golden Crow Clan declined, and the Purple Mansion Immortal Court grew into a powerful center under Lu Chen’s influence. Lu Chen then traveled to Flying Immortal Star to investigate its future Road to Immortality and search for the Immortal Fire.
Lu Chen explored Flying Immortal Star and learned about its sealed Road to Immortality, the Kunlun Remnant Clan, and the Qi Cultivators from Earth. He left after surveying the ancient races and found that both groups were waiting for the Immortal Path to open.
Lu Chen refined the Immortal Tear Green Gold Bottle and Dao Tribulation Gold Divine Bell into his Nine-Layer Immortal Gold Pagoda, then spent thirty years cultivating. When Ye Fan began his Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven tribulation, Ancient Supremes and Great Accomplished Tyrant Bodies attacked him, and Lu Chen prepared to confront the Undying Mountain’s interference.
Lu Chen attacked the Undying Mountain, intending to destroy the forbidden zone while its strength was diminished. The aged Supreme refused to fight and tried to leave with its young descendants, but Lu Chen stopped him and demanded that he choose between the Black Tortoise Immortal Medicine and the Saint Spirit nurtured within a hill.
Lu Chen killed Stone Emperor, destroyed the Undying Mountain Forbidden Zone, and watched Ye Fan defeat two Great Accomplished Tyrant Bodies. Sixty years later, Lu Chen began challenging the Great Dao suppression to become a Great Emperor through his acquired chaos Dao.
Lu Chen endured an unprecedented Great Emperor Tribulation as he tried to break the rule preventing him from attaining the Dao after the Golden Crow. Though heavenly punishment repeatedly destroyed him, he rebuilt his body and Immortal Pagoda and continued fighting to ascend to the chaos emperor position.
Lu Chen broke through the heavenly laws and became a Chaos Great Emperor without relying on the Heavenly Heart Imprint. He then attacked the Divine Ruins, where three Ancient Supremes emerged to face him.
Lu Chen fought the three Ancient Supremes of the Divine Ruins and overwhelmed them with his Chaos Great Emperor power. As the wounded Supremes called for help, a voice from Burial Heaven Island answered, signaling that another Forbidden Zone might join the battle.
Nine Ancient Emperors emerged from the Forbidden Zones and joined the fight against Lu Chen, who revealed his overwhelming power and began defeating them one by one. The other Supremes rallied to attack him together, and the battle remained unresolved.
Lu Chen and Ye Fan fought the nine Forbidden Zone Supremes after Ye Fan joined the Mythic Battlefield, forcing the Supremes to undergo ultimate sublimation and call on their forbidden zones' imperial formations. Lu Chen and Ye Fan broke through the formations and killed several Ancient Emperors as more Supremes prepared to enter the battle.
Lu Chen and Ye Fan defeated the Forbidden Zone Supremes, with Lu Chen killing seven and absorbing their Daos while Ye Fan slew three. After the battle, Lu Chen entered the emptied Divine Ruins and claimed its Flat Peach Immortal Medicine, Divine Spring, and treasures before heading to the Immortal Mausoleum, where Ye Fan was investigating.
Lu Chen and Ye Fan explored the Immortal Mausoleum, and Ye Fan absorbed its remaining treasures before taking the entire Forbidden Zone away. After the battle that killed ten Ancient Supremes, Lu Chen watched the remaining Forbidden Zones hide and returned to the Purple Mansion Immortal Court as a new golden age began.
Over the centuries, Lu Chen’s Purple Mansion Immortal Court became a supreme power, and his Ninefold Emperor Tower began evolving toward an Immortal Artifact. When Yaoguang Holy Son emerged as an imperfect Chaos Body and challenged Lu Chen, the universe awaited their clash.
The Yaoguang Holy Son challenged Lu Chen to perfect his acquired chaos body and escape the Ruthless Great Emperor’s Dao, but Lu Chen defeated him and sealed his fading primordial spirit. Later, the Primordial Human Demon-Dongfang Taiyi attempted to prove the Dao despite Lu Chen already being emperor, and his tribulation reached its decisive moment.
The Second Road to Immortality began opening on Flying Immortal Star, drawing Lu Chen, Ye Fan, and the Ancient Supremes toward its sealed land. As the ancient terrain revealed a passage, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor arrived in the form of the Phoenix-Winged Gilt Halberd, and the Supremes recognized his unusual method of prolonging his life.
Lu Chen watched the Road to Immortality open on Flying Immortal Star as three ancient beings broke free of their seals and fought the Forbidden Zone Supremes. He freed Annihilation Heavenly Venerable and challenged Emperor Zun’s remaining power, but Emperor Zun’s phantom began to take shape, drawing in the essence of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
Emperor Zun’s phantom emerged at the Road to Immortality and drained power from ancient beings to rebuild itself. Lu Chen fought the empowered avatar, and their clash shattered Flying Immortal Star as they forced their way into the Road to Immortality.
Lu Chen fought Emperor Zun’s Phantom and the ancient imprints guarding the Immortal Pass, then breached the pass and found the Reincarnation Gate. Ye Fan, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor, the Supreme from Burial Heaven Island, and the Annihilation Heavenly Venerable arrived as the true Road to Immortality appeared within reach.
Lu Chen, Emperor Zun, Ye Fan, and the other experts reached the Immortal Gate, where they discovered that imperial blood was needed to open it. Lu Chen sacrificed the Supreme from the Heaven Forbidden Zone, opening the gate and revealing the Immortal Domain.
The Immortal Gate opened, and Lu Chen stopped Emperor Zun's phantom body from entering while freeing the Immortal Ascension Cauldron's spirit to become a living being. Ye Fan refused to enter the Immortal Domain without his loved ones, and Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor and Annihilation Heavenly Venerable asked whether Lu Chen would enter.
Lu Chen refused to enter the Immortal Domain but let Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor and Annihilation Heavenly Venerable pass through the Heavenly Gate, then brought the Primordial Human Demon to join them. As the gate began to close, Lu Chen and Ye Fan held it open to absorb immortal essence and improve their bodies and weapons.
Lu Chen absorbed the blessings of the Heavenly Gate and Road to Immortality, then continued evolving his Chaos Great Dao while the world learned that someone had become an immortal. Eight hundred years later, he remained in meditation at the Purple Mansion Immortal Court’s Undying Mountain, while his Immortal Court dominated the Human World alongside Ye Fan’s Heavenly Court.
Two thousand years after Lu Chen became the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, Ye Fan also attained the Great Emperor realm, but the Golden Age began to decline as its prodigies and Lu Chen’s old companions died. Lu Chen watched the Purple Mansion Immortal Court age, agreed to seal Jin Qiong, and traveled across the stars, determined to discover the Immortality Method.
After the golden age ended, Lu Chen and Ye Fan were the only survivors of their era, and they reunited beneath the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree. Ye Fan confronted Lu Chen about his impossible origins, and Lu Chen left him with an explanation based on parallel worlds.
After learning that Lu Chen came from another world, Ye Fan joined him in searching for the remaining Life Forbidden Zones. They found and destroyed Burial Heaven Island, leaving the hidden Primordial Ancient Mine as the last source of calamity.
