Chapter Summaries

Hu Yanbo accepted King Feijing’s challenge, expecting to defeat him and claim his treasures. He also planned to look for a justified reason to confront Venerable Ziyu after advancing to Universe Venerable.

• Hu Yanbo immediately agreed to King Feijing’s challenge and asked for the time and place.
• Hu Yanbo considered challenging Venerable Ziyu but decided to first ask King Lishuo or Seven Sword King whether Ziyu had bullied Hongmeng Alliance members.

• Hu Yanbo vanished, leaving the many inheritors watching the broadcast stunned by how quickly the fight had ended.

Hu Yanbo defeated King Feijing without revealing how, while Jiu Feng Venerable inferred that he had used a Soul Attack and possibly enslaved him. When Pei Feng Venerable ambushed Hu Yanbo for the Supreme Treasure, Jiu Feng and four allies sprang a prepared trap, leaving Hu Yanbo to call Pei Feng an idiot.

• Jiu Feng Venerable watched the aftermath and reasoned that Hu Yanbo had overcome King Feijing with a powerful Soul Attack, likely enslaving him rather than killing him.

• Four more Universe Overlord-level experts emerged from Jiu Feng Venerable’s shattered World Ring, surrounding Pei Feng Venerable and blocking his escape.
• Pei Feng Venerable realized the ambush had been anticipated, and Hu Yanbo silently mouthed, “Idiot.”

Hu Yanbo used a powerful soul attack to disrupt Pei Feng Venerable during the five-overlord assault, allowing the attackers to annihilate him. The surviving overlords stared at Hu Yanbo in disbelief, questioning whether he could truly still be an Immortal.

• Qingfeng Venerable asked Jiu Feng Venerable whether Hu Yanbo was really still an Immortal after witnessing his decisive intervention.

Hu Yanbo returned to Glory World's Open-Air Plaza after enslaving King Feijing and helping five Human Race Overlords annihilate Pei Feng Venerable's Divine Body. The inheritors recoiled in awe and fear as Hu Yanbo reunited with the Hongmeng Alliance and announced that the victory banquet would proceed.

The Demon Race, led by Lord of Sky Wolf and Lord Youmo, decided Hu Yanbo posed a growing threat to the human race and planned to stop him before he became a Universe Venerable. They secured the Machine Race and Zerg’s agreement to join a coordinated ambush, while countless factions watched Hu Yanbo on Purple Thorn Island.

Hu Yanbo sought a way to expand his Nine Nether Sea faster and found that the system would advance its volume if he obtained an origin Supreme Treasure or became a Guardian Venerable. He asked the Two-Faced Ancestral God for the title and left him with a joking but pointed explanation for wanting equal standing with the Ancestral God School’s venerables.

• Hu Yanbo watched his Nine Nether Sea grow too slowly and concluded that an origin Supreme Treasure could greatly accelerate its expansion.

• Hu Yanbo contacted the Two-Faced Ancestral God and asked to become a Guardian Venerable.
• Hu Yanbo revealed that the Primal Universe had granted him the Void Evolution Divine General inheritance, and the Two-Faced Ancestral God approved his request.
• Hu Yanbo explained that Guardian Venerable status would let him deal with the Ancestral God School’s venerables as an equal, joking that it would make any future killings easier to handle as an internal dispute.

Hu Yanbo became a Guardian Venerable of the Ancestral God School and used the system’s advance to expand his Nine Nether Sea with divine power drawn from the Universe Origin. The sea continued growing in his Divine Kingdom as he anticipated reaching a diameter of at least ten billion kilometers.

• The Two-Faced Ancestral God mistook Hu Yanbo’s offer to uphold the Ancestral God School’s dignity as proof of loyalty and appointed him a Guardian Venerable.
• The Two-Faced Ancestral God granted Hu Yanbo permission to choose an unclaimed island as his residence, where even a Universe Master could not enter without his consent.
• Hu Yanbo accepted the system’s advance to bring the Nine Nether Sea to its current-stage limit, with becoming a Guardian Venerable as repayment.
• The system summoned a golden ocean phantom and poured divine power into Hu Yanbo’s Nine Nether Sea, which he expanded further by repeatedly forming and merging clones.
• Hu Yanbo watched the sea grow beyond one hundred million kilometers in diameter as the golden torrent continued flowing.

Hu Yanbo used the system to advance his understanding of the complete Space Law and broke through to Universe Venerable, converting his original body and part of his Endless Nether Sea into Venerable Divine Power. The chapter left him confident that his transformed Divine Kingdom could make even a Universe Master pay dearly for invading it.

• Hu Yanbo inspected his sixty-billion-kilometer Endless Nether Sea and considered its power within his Divine Kingdom comparable to a High-grade Domain Supreme Treasure.
• Hu Yanbo chose to advance the complete mysteries of the Space Law through the system, accepting one of its listed repayment conditions.

• Hu Yanbo assessed his new strength and vowed that the Demon Race, Zerg, and Machine Race would regret forcing him to retreat into his Divine Kingdom.

Hu Yanbo sought an Advanced Universe Venerable to satisfy his system’s repayment task, but Lord Huang Jian warned him that at least ten enemy Universe Overlords were waiting to ambush him. After ruling out the Ancestral God Secret Realm, Hu Yanbo found a target through his enslaved servant King Lei Yu and set out to meet Venerable Lei Sha.

• Hu Yanbo considered hunting an Advanced Universe Venerable because completing a Universe Venerable-level Ultimate Technique would take too long.
• Lord Huang Jian warned Hu Yanbo that the Three Great Peak Races had organized a trap involving at least ten Universe Overlords and urged him to stay in protected territory.

• Hu Yanbo summoned King Lei Yu and learned that his teacher, Venerable Lei Sha, was an Advanced Universe Venerable whom Lei Yu could approach freely.
• Hu Yanbo ordered King Lei Yu to take him to Venerable Lei Sha, who was teaching Thunder Scale Race Immortals in a lightning-filled stronghold.

Hu Yanbo used King Lei Yu to lure Venerable Lei Sha into an ambush, killing him with his Nine Nether Clone’s self-destruction and completing the system’s repayment task. The system then offered Hu Yanbo an advance to Universe Master, but its difficult repayment conditions left him weighing how to strengthen his foundation first.

• King Lei Yu returned to Venerable Lei Sha’s palace with a World Ring, and Lei Sha reached to inspect it.
• Hu Yanbo’s Nine Nether Clone emerged from the ring and self-destructed, annihilating Lei Sha, Lei Yu, and the palace’s surrounding region.
• More than ten Nine Domains Alliance Venerables arrived and called for an investigation, unaware that reversing time and space would not reveal the attack’s origin.
• Hu Yanbo received confirmation that killing an Advanced Universe Venerable had fulfilled his repayment condition, and he arranged for Lord Huang Jian to resurrect Lei Yu.
• Hu Yanbo checked the system’s Universe Master advance and found that repayment required either killing a Universe Master or fully comprehending the Time Law or Beast God path.
• Hu Yanbo rejected the idea of immediately taking the advance and concluded that he first needed to build a stronger foundation as a Universe Venerable.

Hu Yanbo assessed how to improve his strength without rushing to become a Universe Master and devised a plan to gain powerful secret techniques and perfect genes. He decided to seek a chance to observe a Universe Master's strongest secret technique before requesting that advance from the system.

• Hu Yanbo prioritized improving his genes, secret techniques, and willpower, while treating supreme treasures as a lower priority.
• Hu Yanbo examined the system's repayment conditions for advancing to perfect genes and realized he might obtain a strongest innate secret technique first, then gain another when he eventually reached perfect genes.
• Hu Yanbo requested the system's conditions for advancing to a strongest innate secret technique and considered becoming a Guardian Lord as a way to repay it.

• Hu Yanbo held off on requesting the advance until he found a Universe Master who possessed a strongest secret technique and was willing to teach him.

Hu Yanbo asked Lord Huang Jian to let him study a Universe Master's Strongest Secret Technique, then demonstrated that his soul attack had reached the level of a Top Universe Overlord. Recognizing him as the Human Race's fourth Top Universe Overlord, Lord Huang Jian agreed to find him a Soul Attack technique and went to consult the Lord of Darkness.

• Hu Yanbo returned to the Glory Secret Realm after Lord Huang Jian revived King Lei Yu, leaving no loose ends from Hu Yanbo's killing of Venerable Lei Sha.

• Hu Yanbo asked for a Soul Attack technique, but Lord Huang Jian admitted he had no such Strongest Secret Technique of his own.
• Lord Huang Jian left to seek the Chaos City Lord's help and consult the Lord of Darkness, the Human Race's greatest master of souls.

Hu Yanbo entered the Giant Axe Founder's Miniature Universe, where the Lord of Darkness engraved his Universe Master Strongest Secret Technique for him to study. After Hu Yanbo activated his system to analyze the technique, the Giant Axe Founder noticed him reproducing its basic structures and called the others to witness his progress.

• Lord Huang Jian brought Hu Yanbo to the Giant Axe Founder's Miniature Universe, where the Giant Axe Founder confirmed Hu Yanbo was not enslaved.
• The Lord of Darkness agreed to leave behind a secret pattern carving and engraved his Strongest Secret Technique for Hu Yanbo.
• Hu Yanbo found the technique incomprehensible through ordinary study, then activated his system to analyze its structures and match them to his own abilities.
• After several decades, the Giant Axe Founder noticed Hu Yanbo unconsciously tracing basic structures from the technique and was astonished by his progress.
• The Giant Axe Founder chose not to investigate Hu Yanbo's opportunity and summoned the Chaos City Lord, the Lord of Darkness, and Lord Huang Jian to see what Hu Yanbo had learned.

Hu Yanbo completed his analysis of the Lord of Darkness’s Strongest Secret Technique, Eternal Nightfall, and gained a major understanding of time law. The Lord of Darkness challenged him to demonstrate what he had learned and, after facing Hu Yanbo’s attack, praised him enthusiastically.

• The Chaos City Lord, the Lord of Darkness, and Lord Huang Jian watched Hu Yanbo reconstruct Eternal Nightfall from its underlying laws, astonishing the technique’s creator.

• The Lord of Darkness demanded that Hu Yanbo use the technique against him so he could judge how much Hu Yanbo had comprehended.
• Hu Yanbo attacked while the Lord of Darkness took the blow with his will alone, then praised Hu Yanbo: “Good! Very good! Excellent!”

• Hu Yanbo asked the system to advance another universe master ultimate secret technique and received two possible repayment conditions.

Hu Yanbo mastered numerous Universe Master secret techniques in the forest of steles and assessed how close his strength had come to that of a Universe Master. He decided to conceal his power and seek an ally to help him obtain the five Top-tier Supreme Treasures required for his advance.

• Hu Yanbo spent over twenty-one thousand years mastering powerful material attacks and other Universe Master secret techniques from the forest of steles.
• Hu Yanbo realized that after breaking through to Universe Master, his perfect-gene divine body, a suitable Peak Supreme Treasure, and strongest-level secret techniques could bring him close to Fourth-Order strength.
• Hu Yanbo recognized that his will and consciousness had reached the Universe Master level, while his current overall combat strength was near that of a standard Second-Order Universe Master.
• Hu Yanbo decided to hide his true strength because exposure could provoke the Demon Race, the Zerg, and the Machine Race and make his advance tasks harder to complete.
• Hu Yanbo planned to find someone to cooperate with him, since he needed five Top-tier Supreme Treasures to repay the perfect-gene advance.
