Lu Chen and Ye Fan discovered the Divine Soul Pool in the gray mist formed from the Undying Heavenly Emperor’s discarded body, where they reunited with the sealed Southern Demon and Qi Huoshui. After taking some pool water and discussing whether immortals existed, they returned to their respective courts, still burdened by the loneliness of their age.
At twenty-two thousand years old, Lu Chen met the still-living Azure Emperor, and the two discussed their paths toward immortality. Lu Chen returned to the Purple Mansion Immortal Court, where he continued to age in solitude as his old companions were gone.
At the end of his first lifetime, Lu Chen transformed his ordinary body into a Flawless Chaos Body and began a second lifetime, establishing his path toward becoming a Red Dust Immortal. His change also transformed his son Lu Yu, while Ye Fan later began a second lifetime with the Qilin Immortal Elixir.
Lu Chen sensed an Ancient Supreme probing him and traced the aura to the Primordial Ancient Mine, intending to destroy the last Life Forbidden Zone. Though his vitality was fading, he exposed the mine and faced its defenders, with more Supremes emerging to challenge him.
The Primordial Ancient Mine’s Eight Supreme Beings trapped the aging Lu Chen in Heavenly Venerable Lingbao’s killing formation, hoping to harvest his blood and bones. Lu Chen resisted their attacks and began destabilizing the formation, but the battle remained underway.
Lu Chen broke open the Number One Killing Formation of All Time, but the eight Ancient Supremes restored it and trapped him again. Their combined attacks failed to harm him, and they continued pouring power into the formation.
The Undying Heavenly Emperor used the Flying Immortal Waterfall to seize the Heavenly Court while Lu Chen was trapped by the Eight Supreme Beings. Ye Fan completed his third life as the Heavenly Court was dragged into the Strange World, and Lu Chen captured the waterfall with the Ninefold Emperor Tower.
Lu Chen defeated and killed the eight Supremes behind the Dark Turmoil, ending the Life Forbidden Zones and restoring peace to the Human World. He left the Heavenly Court and Ye Fan in the Strange World and chose to remain in the Human World, where his limited lifespan could drive him toward immortality.
Lu Chen studied the Flying Immortal Waterfall and Immortal Divine Medicine, then used his understanding of their immortal essence to live a third lifetime. Reborn at the peak of his power, he returned to the Purple Mansion Immortal Court and strengthened its soldiers and weapons with auspicious rays.
After ruling the Human World for a hundred thousand years, Lu Chen found and secretly accelerated the Immortal Tears Green Gold Saint Spirit’s growth. As Lu Chen neared the end of his life, he suppressed the perfected Saint Spirit to devour it and begin another lifetime.
Lu Chen encountered the Three-Life Bronze Coffin again after 120,000 years and discovered a miniature Immortal Domain inside it. By comprehending its ancient runes, he lived his fifth lifetime and transformed his Immortal Artifact into a universe-bearing tower before leaving the coffin world.
Lu Chen reunited with the peerless geniuses of earlier ages and explained that he had confined his Great Dao so future emperors could attain the Dao. After entering his sixth lifetime through further cultivation, he began developing the Battle Immortal Path.
Lu Chen began his attempt to become a mortal-world Battle Immortal by absorbing the power of a universe-spanning dharma image. After the dangerous merger, he radiated nine-colored immortal light as the Great Universe shook, leaving his transformation's outcome uncertain.
After becoming the first Red Dust Battle Immortal, Lu Chen created thirty-three vast heavens in the Cosmic Frontier and inscribed them with the Three-Life Bronze Coffin's runes. A hundred years later, he succeeded in making them an Immortal Domain where immortal aura and laws could sustain long life.
Lu Chen created the Thirty-Three Heavens as an immortal realm in the mortal world and moved the Purple Mansion Immortal Court there, drawing cultivators from across the universe. The Azure Emperor and Di Que joined the court, while Lu Chen began considering a future campaign against the Strange World.
Lu Chen watched the Godslayer Emperor rise, challenge Di Que, and later enter the Purple Mansion Immortal Court. In the year 210,000 of the Heavenly Emperor Calendar, Lu Chen sent his son Lu Yu to train in the Human World alongside the newly emerged innate chaos body Wang Bo.
Lu Yu repeatedly fought Wang Bo, a reborn chaos-body powerhouse from the Mythological Era, and grew stronger through each defeat until they became evenly matched. Eight hundred years later, both underwent ultimate sublimation and proved the Dao as Chaos Great Emperors, while the Azure Emperor and other powerful figures watched.
Wang Bo, Lu Yu, and Yaoguang each pursued the limits of their power, while Lu Chen guided their paths and watched them leave the imperial age behind. After creating a small immortal domain, Lu Chen opened a passage to a strange world resembling the legendary Immortal Domain.
Lu Chen opened a passage from the Human World to the Strange World and entered it despite the Undying Heavenly Emperor’s attempt to stop him. After learning the Strange World’s history, he found its rival powers locked in a long standoff and prepared to intervene.
Lu Chen entered the Strange World and fought off its Emperor-level experts and native Red Dust Immortal, revealing strength greater than theirs. He joined Great Emperor Wushi, Ye Fan, and their followers as the Undying Heavenly Emperor and the native immortal prepared to fight him alongside their forces.
Lu Chen joined Great Emperor Wushi and the Heavenly Court in the Strange World, tipping the balance toward a decisive battle against the Undying Heavenly Emperor’s faction. The chapter ended with Lu Chen dueling the Undying Heavenly Emperor, Wushi fighting the native Red Dust Immortal, and the enemy Emperors attacking Ye Fan and the others.
Lu Chen defeated the Undying Heavenly Emperor in a battle that shook the Strange World, overwhelming the True Phoenix with his Dao and arts. The Undying Heavenly Emperor was slain, leaving the watching experts stunned by his fall.
After Lu Chen and Great Emperor Wushi killed the Undying Heavenly Emperor and the Strange World's native Red Dust Immortal, Lu Chen revealed that Emperor Zun was the true hidden threat and went into the chaos sea to confront him. The chapter ended with Lu Chen finding Emperor Zun, who was still alive and more powerful than before.
Lu Chen confronted Emperor Zun to stop him from refining the Human World and the Strange World into an Immortal Cauldron, and the two Red Dust Immortals began a battle that threatened both universes. Emperor Zun unleashed an ultimate enhancement of his secret technique and shattered Lu Chen’s immortal body.
Lu Chen and Emperor Zun fought a life-and-death battle in the chaos sea, with Lu Chen gaining the upper hand when Emperor Zun’s time-limited Enhancement Secret expired. Emperor Zun summoned the Immortal Cauldron, and Lu Chen answered by drawing power from his past and future selves as the battle continued.
