Chapter Summaries

Chi Wuxia and Di Yi captured a Time Beast from the Red King's forbidden grounds, triggering a major mobilization by the Red King's Lineage. They discovered the captive was the Red King in a transforming body and tried to make him send a message calling off the search, while he began to suspect their seemingly trivial thefts concealed something more.

• Chi Wuxia and Di Yi fled into the Great Medicine-Nurturing Mountains after trapping the Time Beast in a sack and hiding it in the little furnace.
• The Red King's Lineage discovered the disturbance, summoned the Red King Furnace, and mobilized its immortals to investigate the missing figure.
• Chi Wuxia questioned the captive and learned that the Time Beast was the Red King, whose transforming body had been taken from his seclusion.
• Di Yi and Chi Wuxia decided the Red King should write an Edict claiming he was safe and away for a stroll, so the lineage would lower its guard.
• The Red King wrote the Edict and learned that Chi Wuxia had stolen medicine while Di Yi borrowed fire; he began to suspect those explanations hid a deeper purpose.

Di Yi and Chi Wuxia hid in a volcano while the Red King's Lineage searched for the people responsible for the upheaval. As Di Yi waited for the Howling Celestial Hound to advance, Chi Wuxia began telling him about Red King, while Red King remained trapped in the sack and pondered a new way to use his control over time.

• Chi Wuxia sent a reply through the Space Passage and discarded the Little Furnace as Undying from the various races gathered at the Time Beast Ancestral Land.
• Di Yi and Chi Wuxia decided to hide in the mountain range, and Chi Wuxia suggested taking him to her king's territory instead of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
• Chi Wuxia tried to recruit Di Yi to spread the Thieving Dao, and Di Yi described it as stealing leisure and hope amid life's constant changes.
• Red King reflected on Di Yi's words and considered storing attacks in the River of Time to unleash them later.
• Di Yi suppressed the crater while the Howling Celestial Hound advanced, and Chi Wuxia agreed to tell him about Red King.

Di Yi finished testing whether he could use the black blood’s remaining influence, establishing his Divine Dao foundation and preparing to leave the Red King’s ancestral land with Chi Wuxia and Golden Hou. The Red King’s fellow Undying Kings began converging on the ancestral land after he had been missing for more than half a month.

• Di Yi used the black blood as fuel to ignite his divine fire, and Chi Wuxia realized he was cultivating and reshaping two daos.
• Di Yi told Chi Wuxia that they shared the same origin, then decided to leave with Golden Hou and release the Red King.
• The Red King emerged from the bag, and Golden Hou insulted him before Di Yi opened a Five-Colored Passage to leave.
• The Red King ordered Chi Wuxia to return with him, while several Undying Kings appeared and rushed toward the ancestral land.

After Di Yi returned the Red King to his residence, the Red King told his servants that Chi Wuxia was responsible for his disappearance and ordered them to keep it secret. Di Yi then traveled with Chi Wuxia and the Golden Hou through the Foreign Realm, where Chi Wuxia explained its territories and resource allocation as they headed for an Immortal City.

• Di Yi returned the Red King to his residence in Small Earth City, where the Red King ordered his servants to recall everyone and revealed that Chi Wuxia had caused his disappearance.
• The Red King told his two old servants to keep the truth secret, then vanished from the Ancestral Land.
• Di Yi and Chi Wuxia discussed his unusual passage through the Foreign Realm as they chose to visit the territory of Chi Wuxia's king's lineage.
• Di Yi brought Chi Wuxia and the Golden Hou out of the Five-Colored Passage into a sparsely populated universe allocated to an Immortal.
• Chi Wuxia explained how the Foreign Realm divided its universes among Immortals, kings, and ordinary beings, and described the limits on access to important resources.
• Chi Wuxia urged Di Yi and the Golden Hou to continue toward the Immortal City so they could witness how conflicts in the Foreign Realm differed from what they knew.

Di Yi, Chi Wuxia, and Golden Hou traveled through Immortal City and entered the Heaven Domain Formation after Chi Wuxia revealed an Emperor Clan Token. Their passage encountered a terrifying time anomaly, and Di Yi decided to investigate it rather than flee.

• Chi Wuxia presented an Emperor Clan Token at Immortal City, and the soldiers allowed her, Di Yi, and Golden Hou to use the Heaven Domain Formation.
• Chi Wuxia explained that Emperor Clans took their name from the kings’ hope that an Undying Emperor might exist beyond the realm of kings.
• The travelers encountered a vast Swamp of Time in their passage, and Chi Wuxia warned that its temporal power could trap or erase them.
• Di Yi kept the time anomaly’s power from reaching them, surprising Chi Wuxia and alarming Golden Hou.
• Di Yi announced that he wanted to enter the anomaly and see what was inside.

Di Yi, Chi Wuxia, and the Golden Hou were swept through a strange passage of time and emerged in an unknown world. After crossing a sacred White Bone Sea that transformed into a frozen, silent landscape, they discovered a bone stele radiating peerless killing intent, and Chi Wuxia decided to approach it.

• Di Yi pulled Chi Wuxia and the Golden Hou through the passage’s time erosion and restored them with the Three Talents Reincarnation Formation.
• Chi Wuxia told Di Yi she had seen another version of herself, a bad future, and an unclear person riding a Golden-Haired Hou; Di Yi warned her not to interfere recklessly.
• The vortex passage collapsed and revealed a vast White Bone Sea, whose bones and sacred radiance receded to uncover mountains, rivers, and land.
• Di Yi, Chi Wuxia, and the Golden Hou found themselves in a silent forest beneath a frost-covered mountain and noticed an immense bone stele.
• Chi Wuxia sensed warm, sacred sword intent and peerless killing intent from the stele, then agreed to go closer despite her discomfort.

Di Yi and his companions reached a bone stele protected by a seven-colored barrier, where he used True Understanding to uncover images of an Emperor trying to mend a vast hole beyond the world. The stele cracked before Di Yi could learn more, leaving him troubled by the hole’s possible connection to himself.

• Di Yi led Chi Wuxia and the Golden Hou through a forest strewn with bones and into mountains of bones surrounding a towering stele.
• Di Yi tested the seven-colored barrier with a bone and explained that it screened those who approached; Chi Wuxia could not throw a bone far enough, while the Golden Hou could move freely because it did not qualify for screening.
• Di Yi suppressed the barrier and used True Understanding to reveal a past battle in which an unidentified Emperor wielded three artifacts to try to mend an enormous hole.
• Di Yi combined True Understanding with the Sea of Potential to investigate the images, but tangled rules and order prevented him from learning the Emperor’s identity or what lay beyond the hole.
• The three artifacts merged and sent a beam toward Di Yi, but a terrifying presence from the hole severed it, collapsing the images and cracking the bone stele.
• Di Yi returned to Chi Wuxia without revealing what he had seen, and she worried that he had encountered an ultimate terror.

Di Yi, Chi Wuxia, and Golden Hou explored a strange world where a dormant being’s failing attempt to fuse with a Dao Fruit unleashed deadly phenomena. As the mountain’s collapse threatened them, a beast-headed, snake-bodied creature appeared and targeted Golden Hou for its thunder aura.

• Chi Wuxia told Di Yi that an Ancient Burial Ground’s revelations described reincarnation and unknown places beyond it, while Golden Hou’s blunt remarks helped her regain confidence in the present.
• Di Yi set out to search for more bone steles, but the mountain shook and revealed visions of enormous creatures dying amid an ancient force.
• Chi Wuxia recognized the place as mountains and rivers containing heaven and earth profound meaning, which could grant a powerful Dao Fruit, and warned that a dying being was dormant there.
• The dormant being’s power collapsed, sending destructive energy toward them, and Di Yi shielded Chi Wuxia and Golden Hou with purple qi and chaos.
• Di Yi noticed signs that an external force had interfered with the being’s fusion, as its memories appeared in shattered halos and its power spiraled out of control.
• A beast-headed, snake-bodied creature struck at Chi Wuxia, then sized up the group and said it hated Golden Hou’s thunder aura.

Di Yi and his companions fought a beast-headed, snake-bodied creature whose rusty short saber unleashed terrifying power, but Di Yi shattered the weapon. Its destruction summoned two Netherworld Judges, who emerged from a strange mist and flew toward a dormant being in the mountains.

• Di Yi sent Golden Hou to fight the beast-headed, snake-bodied creature, which trapped Golden Hou with sound waves before unleashing a short saber that transformed its power and threatened to overwhelm Golden Hou.
• Di Yi silently shattered the short saber, and the beast-headed, snake-bodied creature warned that its destruction could draw other forces to them.
• Magma and ash erupted from a distant collapsed mountain as the beast-headed, snake-bodied creature tried to flee, but Di Yi stopped it by collapsing the space in its path.
• A strange mist spread from the shattered saber, and two sinister lifeforms emerged, calling themselves Netherworld Judges and asking where the one who triggered the probing saber was.
• Chi Wuxia recognized the creatures from legends, while the Netherworld Judges ignored the group and flew toward a dormant being in the mountains and rivers.

Di Yi and Chi Wuxia discussed the Netherworld’s control of reincarnation as the Netherworld Judges attacked a creature they believed had been reborn with its memories. The apparent battle ended with the dreamlike landscape vanishing, revealing a snowy mountain and an unseen attacker who had deceived the Judges.

• Chi Wuxia told Di Yi that the Netherworld Judges might be protected by forces tied to reincarnation and ancient Kings.
• Di Yi considered why the Netherworld hunted those who reincarnated with their memories and what force might oppose its authority.
• The Netherworld Judges unleashed the Mount Tai grand configuration against the dying creature, which fought back in the form of a Kun.
• One Netherworld Judge discovered that the supposed Yin Blade had not come from the Netherworld and suspected someone had imitated it.
• The dreamlike scenery vanished, leaving a snow mountain where the furious Netherworld Judges realized the dying figure had been part of a dream.

Di Yi, Chi Wuxia, and Golden Hou uncovered a vision of ancient history within the mountain, where a colossal black mountain and a world-shaking battle appeared. The vision ended with a mysterious voice, leaving them uncertain about what they had witnessed.

• Di Yi explained that the mountain replayed ancient history and led Chi Wuxia and Golden Hou onto an enormous tree stump as the landscape changed.
• A staircase of ice and snow carried the group to the mountain summit, where they entered a primeval forest and approached an ancient palace.
• A grim aura transformed the surroundings into an empty void dominated by a colossal black mountain covered in bones and strange plants.
• The Skeleton Mountain Range descended upon the black mountain, and a figure from the distant past pierced it with one finger, revealing a vast cosmic battle.
• A white radiance erased the vision and restored the summit, while a mysterious voice spoke words that Chi Wuxia and Golden Hou could not understand.

Di Yi, Chi Wuxia, and the Golden Hou encountered a mysterious King who revealed that their world might be caught in repeating eras and that she had waited to call back the most distant ancestor of the Myriad Heavens. As darkness intensified around them, Di Yi questioned whether that ancestor was truly the one she meant.

• Di Yi explained that the disembodied voice spoke a language conveying the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, and he warned the Golden Hou against forcing knowledge beyond its abilities.
• A beautiful woman appeared before the palace, confirmed she was a King, and said she had led them there because they had entered a round of Reincarnation.
• The woman activated a vast mountain-and-river grand configuration, destabilizing the landscape as blood rain, black clouds, and blood-seeping lightning engulfed the other shore.
• A heartbeat revealed magnificent mountains and a heaven-high peak, from which a pillar of light rose as three objects emerged and showed visions spanning the ages.
• The woman described an ancient calamity involving black palaces and spreading darkness, then suggested that eras repeated and that she hoped to call back the most distant ancestor of the Myriad Heavens.
• An Ignorance Barrier concealed the ancestor's name from Chi Wuxia as darkened luminous rain appeared, and Di Yi asked the woman whether she was certain about the ancestor's identity.

The woman used the mountain’s formations and clay bones to call back the distant ancestor of the Myriad Heavens, but her attempt failed and the place began to collapse. Di Yi restored the passage and saw the ancestor’s past, including the origin of the Great Luo Emperor Sword and an astonishing figure who looked like himself.

• The woman explained that the ancestor had once sealed darkness in the palaces and that she needed his return to face a coming catastrophe, but the ancient place was nearing collapse.
• The woman performed a ritual that opened a passage to a Burial Zone, where she glimpsed a man facing endless darkness before the vision shattered and the ritual failed.
• Di Yi restored the passage, revealing the ancestor walking across a Dam and leaving the faint footprints that Chi Wuxia recognized.
• The ancestor cast away the unfinished Sword Embryo, which became the Great Luo Emperor Sword and revealed a humanoid figure amid an eerie Burial Zone.
• Di Yi saw a person seated on a bronze coffin in a blood-colored river and was horrified to recognize that the figure might be himself.

Di Yi and Chi Wuxia witnessed a vision revealing that the man who left the faint footprints had crossed the sea, fought in the dark land, and apparently died. Di Yi then claimed the Ultimate Land and the Myriad Heavens as his kingdom, leaving Chi Wuxia and the woman stunned by his possible connection to the Emperor Realm.

• Di Yi traced the sword embryo’s past and saw the footprint-owner enter the Ultimate Land beyond the Dam.
• Di Yi explained that the sea contained drifting worlds and dangerous rules, while Chi Wuxia saw that another Dam stood within the Ultimate Land.
• A battle in the dark land shattered the vision, revealing the wounded footprint-owner as humanoid flames facing three dark beings before a ball of fire escaped.
• Chi Wuxia feared that the footprint-owner had died and asked whether Di Yi’s sword embryo was connected to his fate, but Di Yi denied that it concerned him.
• Di Yi told Chi Wuxia and the woman that the Ultimate Land was his kingdom and the Myriad Heavens were his royal lands, then gave an ambiguous answer when she asked if he was an Emperor.

Di Yi explained that he was an Emperor in a state of revival and told the woman that the man she sought might return because a flame of him had escaped into the Myriad Heavens. After the woman described the darkness and the man’s journey to the far shore, the world behind the inexplicable thing erupted into a battle across time, leaving Chi Wuxia to wonder if it was an Emperor Battle.

• Di Yi said his body and spiritual body were incomplete, and he could not yet save the man who had fallen into extinction.
• Di Yi gave the woman hope by revealing that a flame of the man had escaped into the Myriad Heavens, and she vowed to keep searching for him.
• The woman told Di Yi that darkness had been taking beings from the Myriad Heavens and that the man had traced it through the Dam to the far shore.
• The world behind the inexplicable thing collapsed into chaos, and Di Yi hurled the three artifacts into the surging currents of great Dao rules.
• A weapon wrapped in chaos charged at the three artifacts, which fought back on their own as Chi Wuxia feared an Emperor Battle.

Di Yi witnessed a battle across the River of Time involving the three artifacts, the Sacred Pool, and a sinister battle spear, then discovered that its wielder’s incantation stirred the primordial black blood within him. The chapter left Di Yi suppressing the awakening blood while the spear wielder wondered whether he was an Ancestor Seed.

• Chi Wuxia and Di Yi watched the three artifacts clash with the Sacred Pool across the River of Time, shaking ancient history.
• Di Yi diverted the combatants’ paths, but the figure and the Sacred Pool continued their pursuit while the battle spear summoned an ominous presence.
• The battle spear attacked, and two dazzling rays of light joined the Sacred Pool’s owner to sever its connection to other eras.
• The spear wielder noticed the primordial black blood in Di Yi and recited an ancient incantation, prompting the three artifacts to intervene.
• Di Yi recognized the incantation, but the black blood began corroding outward, so he used the Rotten Wooden Box to suppress it.
• The battle spear wielder recognized the blood as genuine and wondered whether Di Yi was an Ancestor Seed.

Di Yi suppressed the mutated Black Blood with the strange lotus, then studied the living curse power and began rebuilding his body's prison. As the collapsing Outer Heaven and Earth left Chi Wuxia and the woman searching for a way out, the bank of the River of Time reappeared with a gleam of sword light.

• The being wielding the war spear stimulated the Black Blood, causing it to mutate and unleash a curse that drew Di Yi toward an illusion.
• Di Yi entered the Rotten Wooden Box and used the Three Talents Reincarnation Formation and the strange lotus to destroy the mutated Black Blood and its curse.
• Di Yi discovered that the curse power could converge, learn, and evolve, then began studying it and reconstructing the prison within his body.
• The woman told Chi Wuxia that Outer Heaven and Earth was collapsing and that the passage to the real world might no longer be safe to use.
• The bank of the River of Time reappeared before Chi Wuxia and the woman, accompanied by a gleam of sword light.

A mysterious sword light crossed the ages and attacked the battle-spear wielder, whose Calamity Land power was targeted by its force. After the sword light erased him and he returned, the master of the Sacred Pool struck, seeking to make him slumber.

• A sword light cleaved a fissure through past and present, astonishing Chi Wuxia, the King Realm woman, the battle-spear wielder, and the master of the Sacred Pool.
• The battle-spear wielder challenged the sword light, but a faint voice strengthened it and caused Chi Wuxia’s and the woman’s memories to fade.
• The battle-spear wielder resisted the force that erased his existence by declaring himself one with all worlds.
• The sword light burned and erased the battle-spear wielder and his spear after he realized it targeted the ominous rules of his clan.
• The battle-spear wielder reappeared, and the master of the Sacred Pool attacked, intending to force him into a long slumber.

The master of the Sacred Pool and the sword light battered the spear-wielding being, who declared himself the Chief Priest and began a Golden Great Sacrifice. As the battle drew the three Emperor Artifacts’ spirits into the fight, an ancient Place Beyond the World appeared, and a new sword strike descended to stop the sacrifice.

• The master of the Sacred Pool and the sword light repeatedly attacked the spear-wielding being, while the woman shielded Chi Wuxia and the Golden Hou from the battle’s destructive effects.
• The spear-wielding being announced that he was the Chief Priest and began a Golden Great Sacrifice, unleashing uncanny golden power that devastated the Outer Heaven and Earth.
• The three Emperor Artifacts revealed their Artifact Spirits, who joined the master of the Sacred Pool and sword light in attacking the spear-wielding being.
• The spear-wielding being said the Great Sacrifice could begin anywhere as Order Divine Chains appeared and an ancient Place Beyond the World approached.
• A figure manifested with a sigh, and boundless sword light struck at both the spear-wielding being and the ancient Place Beyond the World.

The master of the Sacred Pool struck down the Chief Priest with a sword, but an eerie power appeared and made the battle fade into ancient history, altering the memories of those who witnessed it. As Chi Wuxia and the woman questioned what Emperors and reality meant, Di Yi emerged from the Rotten Wooden Box and declared that time, space, and history were meaningless perceptions shaped by living beings.

• The master of the Sacred Pool killed the Chief Priest with a sword strike that cleaved through eternity.
• An ancient, clay-like presence appeared, clashed with the sword’s power, and vanished while erasing anomalies and changing memories.
• The woman and Chi Wuxia saw the battle’s ruins in the sky as ancient history and questioned whether Emperors existed beyond the present world.
• Chi Wuxia reconsidered what it meant to break the King Realm and become Emperor, while the woman wondered whether End of the Path beings could rewrite reality.
• Di Yi emerged from the Rotten Wooden Box and said that time, space, and history were meaningless perceptions shaped by living beings.
