Lu Chen and Zixia followed the Ancient Emperor’s aura through an underground cave, using a broken Ancient Bell to withstand its pressure and defeat the tomb’s guardians. They reached a towering jade terrace and found numerous powerful factions arriving behind them as a coffin floated above it.
At the jade platform, Gao Changhao and other Great Powers confronted Lu Chen and Ye Fan, while the mysterious coffin above them remained beyond reach. Gao Changhao recognized Lu Chen as the killer of the Gao Family’s new Twin Kings and advanced to take revenge.
Lu Chen confronted Gao Changhao on the thirty-thousand-meter Jade Platform, where the Ancient Emperor's aura suppressed Dharma Power and gave Lu Chen's powerful flesh an advantage. After reaching the summit with Zixia, Lu Chen faced Gao Changhao again as the fight over the Ancient Coffin and the supreme Immortal Treasure loomed.
Lu Chen used the Ancient Bell to destroy Gao Changhao's allies' protective artifacts and force them off the jade platform. The powerful figures then gathered around the Enlightenment Coffin, whose sapling Lu Chen hoped to cultivate, but they remained wary and discovered that the supreme aura did not come from the coffin.
Experts discovered that the Enlightenment Coffin held Taihuang’s remains and that the nearby Five-Colored Human Skin belonged to the Undying Heavenly Emperor. As the Great Xia Dynasty and other powers disputed the relics, Lu Chen seized the coffin lid and used the Saint Bell to hold off those who demanded it.
Lu Chen seized the Enlightenment Coffin Lid as the great powers revealed Saint Weapons and Emperor Weapons to fight over Taihuang’s treasures. The coffin was dismantled, but a clash over Taihuang’s Great Dao Imprint threatened to escalate until Ye Fan’s heavenly tribulation sent everyone fleeing.
Lu Chen survived his Heavenly Tribulation, advanced to the fifth level of Dragon Transformation, and shared treasures with Fairy Zixia. Before they parted, he passed her the Western Emperor Scripture, strengthening her resolve to become a Great Emperor.
Lu Chen nurtured the Enlightenment Tea Tree shoot and learned of upheavals across the cultivation world, then openly defied the Gao Family after it issued a Death Warrant against him. After Lu Chen killed more than a dozen of its disciples, a mighty cultivator found him in the mountains and attacked.
Lu Chen used a damaged Primordial Saint Weapon to kill Gao Family pursuers, then slaughtered its experts until the family withdrew its kill order. He infiltrated the Qin Sect in the Qinling Mountains to seek the “Bing” secret, one of the Nine Secrets.
Lu Chen infiltrated the Qin Sect to find Nine Secret: Bing while resisting the Ruthless Great Emperor’s Deity-Deliverance Art. After paying his way into the inner sect, he discovered the secret’s stone wall and began comprehending it under the starlight.
Lu Chen mastered Nine Secret: Bing, advanced his cultivation in the Qinling Mountains, and encountered Li Xiaoman, whose body contained the Crocodile Ancestor’s Divine Embryo. After she attacked him, she unleashed the embryo’s power, setting the stage for a more dangerous fight.
Lu Chen fought Li Xiaoman, whose body hosted the Crocodile Ancestor Divine Embryo, and used his Immortal Gold Pagoda to imprison her. Before he could refine them, Li Xiaoman escaped with a Forbidden Artifact that wounded Lu Chen, leaving the battle unresolved.
Lu Chen used the Immortal-Slaying Gourd to suppress Li Xiaoman and destroy the Crocodile Ancestor’s divine embryo, then obtained the Swallowing Heaven Demon Art and Quasi-Emperor Forbidden Artifact. Two years later, at the peak of the ninth heaven of Dragon Transformation, he learned that cultivators were gathering in the Qinling Mountains for the coming appearance of the Immortal Transformation Pool and Eternal Ancestral Dragon Lair.
Lu Chen and other cultivators gathered in Qin City as the Immortal Transformation Pool and Eternal Ancestral Dragon Lair appeared in the Qinling Mountains. Lu Chen led Zixia, the Yaochi Saintess, and others into the misty approach to the pool, where other experts were also beginning to explore.
Lu Chen and his companions reached the Immortal Transformation Pool and Eternal Dragon Lair, where he studied their yin-yang Dao and later searched the pool as ancient dangers erupted. The chapter ended when a cultivator found a piece of Dao Tribulation Gold and Lu Chen rushed toward it.
Lu Chen fought through the Immortal Transformation Pool’s melee and used his Saint Bell to seize the Dao Tribulation Gold. The Imperial Lord of Jiuli then arrived with the Jiuli Diagram and targeted the treasure, leaving Lu Chen facing a Supreme Dao Emperor Weapon.
Lu Chen revealed the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, an Emperor Weapon that forced the Jiuli Imperial Lord and Duan De’s faction to reconsider taking his dao tribulation gold. While the Emperor Weapons faced off, Ye Fan seized the green copper and escaped down the mountain, and dreamlike divine marrow emerged from the Eternal Dragon Lair.
Lu Chen left the Immortal Transformation Pool after acquiring a large piece of dao tribulation gold, while others fought over the dreamlike divine marrow and Ye Fan was trapped in a formation outside. The Gao Family ambushed Lu Chen with an Incomplete Emperor Formation, intending to kill him and seize his Treasure Pagoda, unaware that he possessed a complete Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon.
Lu Chen destroyed the Gao Family forces that had ambushed him, then witnessed six Emperor Weapons clash over the Immortal Transformation Pool and the green copper fragment. The confrontation ended after Ye Fan escaped with the fragment, leaving the Qinling Mountains scarred by the weapons’ power.
Lu Chen arrived at the Gao Family Divine City to make the family pay for its repeated attacks, choosing to break through to the Immortal Platform Secret Realm under its walls. He survived the terrible heavenly tribulation by repeatedly healing with the Phoenix Tribulation Rebirth Art and tempering himself and his treasures in the lightning, leaving the Gao Family’s watching experts alarmed.
Lu Chen endured a legendary humanoid lightning tribulation, broke through three minor realms, and tempered the Nine-Layer Immortal Gold Pagoda into a Holy Lord-level weapon. With the Gao Family’s territory reduced to a wasteland, he confronted the clan and declared that he would destroy its Divine City.
Lu Chen confronted the Gao Family at their Divine City, where the Ancient Hua Dynasty brought the Ancient Hua Whip to counter his Immortal-Slaying Gourd. He left the chapter advancing on the city and overpowering nine Half-Step Great Powers without using an Emperor Weapon.
Lu Chen slaughtered the Gao Family’s nine Half-Step Great Powers and then defeated and killed Gao Yunxiao in a duel, demonstrating Holy Lord-level combat strength. As several Gao Family elders attacked together, Lu Chen summoned the cracked Ghost Stone Statue, whose apparition halted them.
Lu Chen used the cracked Ghost Stone Statue to summon more than a hundred king-level ghostly divinities and unleash a massacre on the Gao Family Divine City. By the time he brought out an Inherited Saint Bell to break the city's Saint-level defenses, its southern side had been reduced to ruins.
Lu Chen confronted the Gao Family after devastating part of its Divine City, forcing its leaders to choose between risking the clan's destruction and negotiating. The Gao Family paid him reparations, and he left with his Kings as news of the battle spread across the Five Regions.
