Lin Fan explained the Foreign Realm’s origins and rallied the Heavenly Deity Academy’s disciples before they fought its young elites. Shi Hao and the others charged into the battlefield, eager to face the enemy’s King Clan members.
Lin Fan and the Heavenly Deity Academy elders ignored the snow-white skeleton’s insults while the students fought in the manifested world. After the Foreign Realm’s Void King Beast and Three-Headed King were killed, Lin Fan defied the enemy’s threats as both sides’ supreme treasures clashed, and the academy prepared to move on.
Lin Fan ascended the Immortal Battlefield’s ancient heavenly terrace and was swept through the River of Time into a ruined land. There he found Shi Hao in a metal hall and immediately ruined their heartfelt reunion with a teasing remark.
Lin Fan and Shi Hao drank wine containing the Dao methods of Immortal Ancient, and Lin Fan used it to advance his own cultivation. When Shi Hao moved the wine pot, a heaven-shaking upheaval erupted and a chilling sneer interrupted Lin Fan’s enlightenment.
An Immortal King called the Red King crossed the River of Time to kill Shi Hao and Lin Fan, but Lin Fan unexpectedly fell into a mysterious spirit-possession state as a powerful imprint awakened within him. The Red King watched as the imprint transformed Lin Fan’s Three Dao Flowers, and its purpose remained unknown.
Lin Fan fused the Reincarnation Marks into an imprint that transformed him and empowered him to battle the Red King across the River of Time. He revealed the legendary Eternal Thought technique, froze the river and laws, and erased the Red King’s attacks, leaving Shi Hao and the woman stunned.
Lin Fan’s battle with the Red King intensified as Lin Fan trapped him inside a true universe and unleashed attacks powerful enough to shatter his armor. The Red King used the blood he had spilled to restore his strength, but Lin Fan’s world-destroying fist broke the Red King’s tail.
Lin Fan overwhelmed the Red King's Dharma body in a battle along the River of Time, but the Red King's true body then appeared from the ancient past, ready to fight despite the cost. The chapter ended with Shi Hao and the woman facing a far greater threat.
Lin Fan fought the Red King and a vast black shadow across the River of Time, freezing the river with Eternal Thought before vanishing after their battle. The woman used Lin Fan’s Void War Halberd to divine that he had disappeared from the present age and was no longer in that ancient history.
Shi Hao returned from the River of History without Lin Fan and reported his disappearance to the Heavenly Deity Academy. First Elder Meng Tianzhang heard Shi Hao’s account and urged him to believe Lin Fan would return.
Lin Fan found himself in an unfamiliar era and learned that the world was entering a Dharma-Ending Age, whose backlash killed cultivators and sharply shortened lifespans. He survived the first wave through his body-as-a-seed cultivation path and resumed training, while the catastrophe worsened before stabilizing decades later.
During the Dharma-Ending Age, Lin Fan endured Heaven's Will and spent decades seeking a way to become a supreme, while surviving supremes massacred living beings to replenish their life force. After witnessing the slaughter, Lin Fan retreated into chaos and began fusing his methods to open his own path toward divine transformation.
Lin Fan created a new cultivation technique in seclusion, reaching divine transformation and developing the divine elephant realm. He returned to the human world to test his technique and continue pursuing the supreme path.
Decades into the dharma-ending age, Lin Fan hunted the supremes responsible for dark turmoil and attacked the Heavenly Wolf, who had slaughtered an Ancient Kingdom to prolong his life. Their battle devastated a Star Domain, and Lin Fan gained the upper hand as the Heavenly Wolf reeled from his power.
After killing several rampaging Supremes and surviving a three-Supreme ambush, Lin Fan healed in the Starry Sky and perfected his Indestructible Golden Body, reaching the pinnacle of the Supreme realm. He returned openly to hunt the remaining Supremes, and the world celebrated as he began sweeping through their ancient lands.
Lin Fan killed the five remaining Supremes who had brought disaster upon the world, then rejected the vow power offered by the people he had saved. Learning that immortals had perished in a mysterious war and that he was in the Emperorfall Era, he accepted his isolation and resolved to keep cultivating until he could return.
After surviving a decade-long heavenly tribulation for creating his own cultivation method, Lin Fan merged the Dao fruits of his four lives and discovered his true identity as the Sage Emperor. He reached the pinnacle of the human Dao and vowed to become immortal in the mortal world, then continued cultivating on a planet.
After centuries of seclusion, Lin Fan broke through the universe's barrier and entered another realm trapped in the Dharma-Ending Age. He spent over a thousand years defeating powerful races and protecting living beings, then founded the Heavenly Court with followers gathering from across the universe.
In the Dharma-Ending Age, Lin Fan outlived generations of friends and foes while studying how to begin another life. As Yue Chan and Qingyi searched for him in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Lin Fan was reborn into his fifth life after enduring more than fifty thousand years.
Lin Fan began his fifth life, studied longevity, and later used the Undying Immortal Medicine to begin his sixth. He built a formation linking eighteen Fortune Grounds and used it to enter his seventh life, with ample time to continue his research.
As the Great Universe revived, Lin Fan remained hidden in the Heavenly Court and killed Gu Lu with one strike, proving he was still alive after more than two hundred thousand years. Near the end of his eighth life, Lin Fan advanced toward becoming a Mortal World Immortal and sensed an unexpected karmic connection to the Emperorfall Era.
Lin Fan returned to the universe he had first arrived in, discovered it was transforming toward the creation of a heavenly heart imprint, and found Willow Mom as an innate spirit root. He took the Willow Deity with him while planning to pursue the imprint, as Shi Hao continued concealing Lin Fan’s absence from Yue Chan and Qingyi.
Lin Fan forcibly refined the heavenly heart imprint, enduring a devastating tribulation as the universe recognized him as the Heavenly Emperor. After a month, he cast the imprint back into the universe for the Supremes to contest and left the world.
Lin Fan left the Heavenly Court after the Willow Deity attained the Dao and became its powerful Second-in-Command. In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, a wounded warship brought news that the Border Pass had fallen open and mighty Foreign Realm enemies had appeared, prompting the assembled forces to march to war.
Lin Fan reforged his Three-Legged Golden Cauldron with immortal gold and prepared to face the Great Dao's suppression. After surviving a devastating Immortal Ascension Tribulation in the Dharma-Ending Age, he became a Mortal World Immortal, inspiring the universe.
