Chapter Summaries

The Corpse Immortal Emperor’s attempt to create another prodigy was disrupted, and his scattered spiritual light reached the Chaotic Ancient Era. There, Chen Yao emerged as Wu Gensheng, wielding the Eight Extraordinary Skills and resolving to strengthen them.

• The Corpse Immortal Emperor sent a spiritual light carrying Earth memories, immortal-path creation essence, and the Eight Extraordinary Skills’ inheritances out of his seal, but a battle involving Huang blasted it from the River of Time.
• The spiritual light reached a peculiar courtyard, where it stopped dissipating before scattering across different times and spaces.
• In the Void God Realm, Chen Yao used Feng Hou's Mystic Gate to set a record with 4,320 precious technique tricks under the alias Wu Gensheng.
• Chen Yao explained that he had lost his own name and had chosen the Wu Gensheng alias, while retaining blurred Earth memories and the Eight Extraordinary Skills.
• Chen Yao judged the Eight Extraordinary Skills weak compared with the techniques of first-generation prodigies, then set himself the goal of improving them into Immortal Emperor Arts.

Chen Yao strengthened his body with secret medicine enhanced by Immortal Qi and reached the peak of the Blood Moving Realm. He prepared to break through its Extreme Realm by using Twin Hands to master the Three Corpses and forge a new path.

• Chen Yao reasoned that Twin Hands cultivated both soul and flesh, enabling its user to control the Three Corpses.
• Chen Yao planned to merge the Three Corpses with his blood and qi and Divine Radiance to nourish demon gods and create a new path in the Blood Moving Realm.

Chen Yao developed the Extreme Realm Method as a framework for breaking cultivation limits and forging new paths, then used Twin Hands to transcend the Blood Moving Realm’s extreme by creating and refining his three corpse gods.

• Chen Yao struck an old tree with his blood and qi, causing its body to grow and decay erratically, and recognized that his attacks could infect targets and disrupt their souls and bodies.

Chen Yao incapacitated a Martial King Manor elder to learn the manor’s layout and prepared to approach Aman, a hidden genius he hoped to recruit as a companion. He planned to break through into Cave Heaven before infiltrating the manor and making contact.

• Aman demanded that any work for Chen Yao stay within his conscience, and Chen Yao praised his talent while offering him a role as a fighter.

• Chen Yao left Aman a bottle of diluted sacred medicine-grade spirit liquid, vanished, and revealed that he could be called Wu Gensheng.
• After Chen Yao departed, Aman hid the bottle and told Fourth Grandfather that he had accidentally triggered the Jade Pendant’s alarm.

Aman accepted Chen Yao’s offer of support after learning about breaking through and transcending the extreme realms, while Chen Yao hoped to use him to meet Shi Hao and the Willow Deity. Their conversation ended when a white-haired old man appeared and offered to sell them his family’s cultivation inheritance for sacred medicine.

• Aman decided to meet Wu Gensheng again and found Chen Yao beside his Record Stele in the Void God Realm.

Chen Yao encountered Lord Bird and Lord Crystal Wall, whose brief awakening revealed that they recognized his Reincarnation Seal and wanted him to strengthen the Void God Realm’s rewards. After they fell back into amnesia, Chen Yao escaped with Aman, while Shi Yi arrived and became wary of the two old men.

• Lord Crystal Wall and Lord Bird tried to sell Chen Yao fake cultivation manuals, but their auras briefly awakened and destabilized the Void God Realm.
• Lord Bird recognized Chen Yao as possibly connected to Six Paths of Reincarnation, and Second Under Heaven told him to break Void God Realm records and use the rewards to nourish an immortal qi strand.
• The Immortal Gold Daoist told Chen Yao that breaking records might awaken them again, before both old men reverted to their forgetful personas.
• Chen Yao gave the old men several drops of demi-divine liquid, then used Eight Gates Transport and Grand Luo Insight to flee with Aman as cultivators converged on the fragrance.

Six months after giving Aman a communication bracelet, Chen Yao learned that Aman had surpassed the limits of the Blood Moving Realm. Shi Yi tracked Chen Yao down in the Void God Realm and attacked, and their first clash ended with Chen Yao landing a heavy blow.

• Shi Yi pursued Chen Yao, while other cultivators mistook their encounter for a duel over the Blood Moving Realm’s top spot; Chen Yao used Feng Hou’s Mystic Gate and struck Shi Yi’s helmet with a time-stopping punch.

Chen Yao used Time-Stopping Golden Shutter and the Five Thunder Talisman to attack Shi Yi, then secretly weakened his double pupils with Water Viscera Thunder and origin qi. Shi Yi broke the Qimen Formation and escaped, but Chen Yao vanished while Shi Yi recovered and vowed to kill Wu Gensheng.

• Chen Yao used Time-Stopping Golden Shutter to freeze Shi Yi and struck his divine armor with an Immortal-Sealing Talisman and a Five Thunder Talisman.
• Shi Yi endured the attack, used Two-Polarity Divine Light to collapse the Qimen Formation, and ended Chen Yao's repeated time-stopping attacks.
• Shi Yi taunted Chen Yao, who secretly used the Five Thunder Talisman's Water Viscera Thunder to damage his liver and blur his double pupils.
• Shi Yi's weakened double pupils sharply reduced his combat strength, so he retreated and spent dozens of breaths removing the hidden power.
• Shi Yi recovered enough to realize Chen Yao had escaped and vowed to kill Wu Gensheng.

After reflecting on his fight with Shi Yi, Chen Yao renamed his weakening divine ability Heavenly Demon Tribulation and resolved to rebuild his shaky cultivation foundations. As Aman set out for the Second Ancestral Land to visit Shi Hao, Chen Yao secretly followed, while Fifth Grandfather dispatched warriors to intercept Aman.

• Chen Yao assessed the limits of his Eight Extraordinary Skills against Shi Yi, named his weakening divine ability Heavenly Demon Tribulation, and decided to reopen cave heavens with shaky foundations.

• Aman left with Fourth Grandfather's dormant spirit body concealed in a magical artifact, and Chen Yao learned of his departure and secretly followed him.
• Fifth Grandfather ordered death warriors to pursue Aman and intercept him, suspecting that the real child might be at the Second Ancestral Land.

Aman and Chen Yao ambushed the death warriors sent by Fifth Grandfather, and Aman’s extreme-realm strength let him defeat their Cave Heaven fighters. After the last warrior destroyed Fourth Grandfather’s spirit body, Chen Yao weakened him and Aman killed him, absorbing the enemies’ blood and healing his own wound.

• Chen Yao warned Aman that Fifth Grandfather had sent one Spirit Transformation and five Cave Heaven death warriors to ambush him, and Aman chose to kill them.

He then planned a three-dantian cave heaven path and refined his rune inheritances, preparing to transcend the Cave Heaven Realm’s extreme.

• Willow Deity told Chen Yao that reincarnation had once brought the dead back to life, and said the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King had found it and glimpsed the future.

• Willow Deity advised Shi Hao to let his Supreme Bone revive naturally through cultivation rather than forcing it with medicine.

Chen Yao attempted to transcend the extreme realm by opening three linked cave heavens in his dantians, enduring a violent transformation that nearly destroyed his body and soul. He survived by using Qi-State Origin-Flow, Twin Hands, and his ten external cave heavens, emerging with his essence, qi, and spirit united in a stable whole.
