Chapter Summaries

Yang Jian fought the Tide-Devouring Insect King while the formation ship approached the Savage Star Domain. After Nezha helped bring down the beast, the crew harvested its scales and reached a desolate star domain centered on a city with its gates open.

• Gu Changqing ordered Yang Jian to face the Insect King, and Yang Jian damaged it with his seventh-level Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force.
• Yang Jian endured the Insect King’s scale-blade attack, and Gu Changqing realized the wounded beast was trying to flee.
• Nezha pinned the Insect King with his Fire-Tipped Spear, then he and Yang Jian harvested its scales while Zhao Gongming stored some bones and sinews.
• The formation ship continued through the Boundary Sea and emerged into the Savage Star Domain, where the crew saw a vast, desolate expanse and a city with its gates open.
• Xiaotian Dog tucked its tail between its legs as it faced the city.

Nezha, Yang Jian, and Zhao Gongming stripped the insect king's scales and salvaged its remains for armor and repairs. After Kong Xuan detected a living aura linked to the Dark Tide and Kelān warned that scavengers might follow the corpse's signal, the formation ship prepared to leave the Boundary Sea.

• Gu Changqing ordered the insect king's scales salvaged, and Nezha, Yang Jian, and Zhao Gongming used fire, force, and the Sea of Bitterness to strip them.
• Kong Xuan detected traces of a living creature in a breach to the Chaos Origin and said the aura was neither an Abyssal Beast nor a Tide-Devouring Insect.
• Kelān identified the contamination as the Dark Tide and warned that the insect king's corpse could attract Scavengers.
• Nezha and Yang Jian stripped all 3,200 of the insect king's highest-quality scales, while Zhao Gongming collected its skeleton and sinews.
• The crew discarded the remaining carcass, Tongtian cleansed Nezha and healed Yang Jian, and Zhao Gongming opened a Sea of Bitterness shipping lane ahead of the formation ship.

Gu Changqing’s fleet was pursued through the Sea of Bitterness passage by Scavengers that devoured divine souls and split when attacked. The ship escaped their encirclement, but 170 Heavenly Soldiers lost their divine souls, and Gu Changqing reflected that the Boundary Sea was harder to traverse than he had expected.

• Yang Jian detected approaching Scavengers, and Kelān explained that they were pursuing the Insect King's Scales and Skeleton.
• Tongtian ordered the army to prepare for battle as the Scavengers passed through the passage walls and attacked the rear formations.
• The Scavengers split under bombardment and pierced the soldiers' barriers, devouring divine souls as Tongtian ordered the army to form defensive rings around the ship.
• Kong Xuan swept away the Scavengers with Five-Colored Divine Light while Zhao Gongming accelerated the passage; Yang Jian later used Heavenly Eye Light to erase them as the fleet broke through the encirclement.
• Tongtian reported 170 soldiers whose divine souls had been devoured, and Gu Changqing told Xiaotian Dog that the Boundary Sea was harder to traverse than he had thought.

Gu Changqing’s fleet breached the Universe Embryonic Membrane with the black sphere and entered the Savage Star Domain, where they found the Origin Temple’s forces surrounding a city gate. After four Aurora War Generals warned the fleet to retreat, Gu Changqing ordered Kong Xuan to tear apart the remaining formation barrier.

• Tongtian’s Immortal-Slaying main formation failed to pierce the Universe Embryonic Membrane, but Gu Changqing’s black sphere merged with it and opened a passage.
• The Sea of Bitterness passage followed the sphere into the Savage Star Domain and discovered a city surrounded by an enormous force.
• Yang Jian detected countless varied biological signals around the city, including four powerful Aurora War Generals who Kelān identified as Sacrificial Dao experts.
• The Aurora War Generals warned Gu Changqing’s fleet to return to the Boundary Sea and threatened to destroy them if they advanced.
• Gu Changqing ordered Kong Xuan to tear apart the remaining formation barrier outside the city gate.

Kong Xuan destroyed the final barrier outside the city gate, opening the way into the Great Thousand Origin Realm. The Four Great Aurora Generals raised another Aurora Sky Net, and Yang Jian, Nezha, and Tongtian began fighting them while Gu Changqing watched from the command platform.

• Kong Xuan broke through the Aurora Sky Net and melted the formation barrier with his Origin essence, then returned to the Sea of Bitterness passage to rest.
• The Four Great Aurora Generals confronted Gu Changqing and formed a second Aurora Sky Net around the city gate.
• Gu Changqing sent Yang Jian, Nezha, and Tongtian to fight the four generals.
• Nezha pierced the crimson general's shield with his Fire-Tipped Spear, while Yang Jian clashed with the azure general and tore a fissure through the void.
• Tongtian deployed the reforged Immortal Slaying Formation, whose sword phantoms battered the Aurora Sky Net as the battle intensified.
• Gu Changqing told Zhao Gongming to guard the Sea of Bitterness passage while he watched the three fighters contend with the generals.

Gu Changqing’s forces confronted the four Aurora Generals guarding the Origin Temple, and Kong Xuan tore through the city’s inner barrier while Tongtian’s attack distracted the crimson general. The barrier remained partly intact as the four generals moved to stop them.

• The four Aurora Generals threatened Gu Changqing’s forces and gave them three breaths to retreat, while Xiaotian Dog cowered at the sight of the city.
• Gu Changqing learned from Tongtian that the generals were powerful and ordered Kong Xuan to tear open the inner barrier as Yang Jian located its core runes.
• Kong Xuan gathered Five-Colored Divine Light into two blades while Gu Changqing ordered Tongtian to attack the crimson general.
• Tongtian’s attack forced the crimson general to defend himself, giving Kong Xuan time to slash the barrier’s three core nodes and spread cracks across it.
• Kong Xuan returned to the Formation Ship after tearing the barrier, and the four Aurora Generals moved as the damaged barrier struggled to repair itself.

Kong Xuan’s attack weakened the barrier, and Gu Changqing’s forces exploited the four Aurora War Generals’ repairs to destroy it with a second Immortal-Slaying formation shot. The entrance to the city was exposed, and Gu Changqing urged his group to enter before the Origin Temple’s defenses turned the Savage Star Domain into a killing ground.

• The four Aurora War Generals worked together to repair the breach Kong Xuan had carved, while Kong Xuan rested after exhausting himself.
• Gu Changqing ordered Yang Jian and Nezha to distract the war generals, then had Tongtian fire the formation at the barrier’s weakened section.
• Nezha attacked the crimson pillar and Yang Jian cracked the azure pillar, disrupting two generals as the golden and silver pillars continued their repairs.
• Tongtian’s second shot struck the breach, causing the damaged nodes to explode and the barrier to collapse into drifting motes of light.
• The exposed city entrance released an oppressive aura, and the crimson war general warned that the Origin Temple’s defenses would turn the Savage Star Domain into a killing ground.
• Gu Changqing acknowledged the danger and urged his group to enter through the city gate rather than wait outside.

Gu Changqing led the Formation Ship and fifty million Heavenly Soldiers through the Origin Gate despite the four Aurora War Generals trying to stop them. Inside, they followed the Origin Core to a spatial node that revealed the Origin Temple and a seated figure, whose appearance made Xiaotian Dog howl.

• Tongtian ordered the Formation Ship and the Heavenly Soldiers to charge through the gate while Nezha, Yang Jian, and Tongtian held back the four Aurora War Generals.
• Kong Xuan delayed the generals with his Five-Colored Divine Light, allowing the Formation Ship, fifty million Heavenly Soldiers, and the rest of the army to enter the gate.
• Inside the gate, Tongtian and Zhao Gongming reported that the strange space was suppressing the ship and consuming the Sea of Bitterness passage, while Yang Jian located a spatial node ahead.
• The scarlet-pillar Aurora War General demanded that Gu Changqing surrender the Origin Core, but Gu Changqing refused and ordered the Formation Ship to crash into the node.
• The node erupted in golden light and revealed the Origin Temple; when the seated person raised their head, Xiaotian Dog stood rigid and howled.

Gu Changqing used the Origin Core and the Immortal-Slaying main formation to shatter the Origin Temple’s gate, unleashing chaos in the Origin Realm’s laws. The white-eyed old man remained powerful despite being weakened, and he confronted Gu Changqing as the battle continued.

• Gu Changqing ordered Tongtian to fire at the temple gate and revealed that he would use the Origin Core as a projectile to unleash its energy.
• The white-eyed old man tried to slow the Origin Core, but Tongtian’s third shot from the Immortal-Slaying main formation stopped his hand long enough for the sphere to strike the gate.
• The old man briefly held the gate’s cracks together, but it shattered, and Gu Changqing caught the returning Origin Core.
• The shock waves destroyed the Sea of Bitterness passage and threw the Formation Ship’s defenses into disarray as the Space and Time Laws fell into chaos.
• Tongtian determined that the law chaos had weakened the old man, though he remained at least peak sacrificial dao.
• The old man called Gu Changqing and his allies barbarians of the lower realm, while the Aurora War General called for the Core Guard and Xiaotian Dog steadied himself on the deck.

Gu Changqing ordered Tongtian to unleash the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords against the four weakened Aurora War Generals, despite the cost of destroying the Formation Ship’s formation functions. Tongtian killed the scarlet and cyan generals, while the golden and silver generals remained wounded as the white-eyed Temple Master watched.

• The Temple Master suppressed the Savage Star Domain with Origin Law, weakening the crew’s powers and draining the Aurora War Generals after their temple’s law source was severed.
• Gu Changqing ordered Tongtian to use the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords, accepting that the Formation Ship’s formation functions would be ruined.
• Tongtian unleashed the four swords, breaking the scarlet and cyan pillars and badly wounding all four Aurora War Generals.
• Tongtian sent the Immortal Slaying Sword and Immortal-Killing Sword to decapitate the scarlet and cyan generals.
• The Temple Master’s white light intensified and burned through the step beneath his feet.

Tongtian and Nezha defeated the two Aurora War Generals, then faced the Origin Temple’s vast Origin Guard Army. Yin Jiao used the Human Emperor War Banner to counter the Origin Law’s suppression and led the Heavenly Soldiers through the enemy ranks, but the white-eyed elder began preparing to get serious.

• The wounded golden and silver Aurora War Generals retreated into the Origin Temple, while Tongtian let them go so they could report the attack.
• The white-eyed elder summoned the Origin Guard Army, and Kelān explained that its five hundred million soldiers were empowered by the Origin Law.
• Gu Changqing ordered Yin Jiao to unfurl the Human Emperor War Banner, whose power strengthened the fifty million Heavenly Soldiers and resisted the Origin Law’s suppression.
• Yin Jiao led the Heavenly Soldiers through the Origin Guard Army, shattering its armor and forcing the white military formation to retreat.
• As Gu Changqing watched the enemy’s rout, the white-eyed elder’s gaze slowed, Tongtian sensed a change, and the Origin Core in Gu Changqing’s sleeve began vibrating.

Gu Changqing ordered Yin Jiao to lead the heavenly soldiers against the Origin Guard Army’s successive echelons, and the Human Emperor War Banner shattered their armor and formations. After the third echelon scattered and the border garrison collapsed, Xiaotian Dog caught a scent on the battlefield’s left flank.

• Nezha and Yang Jian broke the second echelon’s joint defense formation, allowing Yin Jiao and the heavenly soldiers to defeat it.
• Tongtian and the others realized the Temple Master was directing the Origin Guard Army, and a third, larger echelon emerged from the great hall.
• Gu Changqing ordered Yin Jiao to charge, and the Human Emperor War Banner shattered the third echelon’s armor and formations.
• The third echelon’s soldiers lost their will to fight and fled, leaving the border garrison cleared.
• Xiaotian Dog smelled something on the battlefield’s left flank and growled excitedly.

Xiaotian Dog sensed four abandoned pureblood Origin Qilin on the battlefield and used its ancestral bloodline to win their submission. After freeing them from their broken chains, it brought them to Gu Changqing’s Formation Ship, where the storage Magic Formation holding Hongjun suddenly trembled.

• Xiaotian Dog rushed toward the battlefield’s left flank after sensing four powerful creatures, and Yang Jian identified them as pureblood Origin Qilin.
• Xiaotian Dog confronted the four abandoned Qilin, whose bloodlines yielded to the Dog Ancestor’s suppression.
• Xiaotian Dog removed the broken chains from all four Qilin and rode one back to the Formation Ship.
• Gu Changqing praised Xiaotian Dog for recruiting the Qilin as the four divine beasts arrived beside the ship.
• Tongtian noticed the storage Magic Formation tremble, and Gu Changqing realized Hongjun was making a disturbance inside.

Hongjun grew bitter after learning that Xiaotian Dog had acquired four pureblood Origin Qilin, while Gu Changqing’s forces seized all thirty-six Origin Giant Cities on the Savage Star Domain’s border. With the border under Ruined Temple’s control, Gu Changqing turned his attention to the white-eyed elder, who finally showed interest.

• Hongjun lamented that Xiaotian Dog had four pureblood Origin Qilin while he was confined in the storage Magic Formation, and Nezha and Tongtian teased him.
• Gu Changqing ordered Yin Jiao to lead the heavenly soldiers through the Savage Star Domain and capture all thirty-six Origin Giant Cities.
• Yin Jiao used the Human Emperor War Banner to overcome the cities’ defenses and planted Ruined Temple War Banners across the border.
• Yin Jiao reported that all thirty-six cities had fallen, placing the Savage Star Domain’s border under Ruined Temple’s control.
• Gu Changqing watched the white-eyed elder, who remained before the grand hall and said, “Interesting.”

Gu Changqing’s forces captured all thirty-six border cities and planted Ruined Temple war banners, drawing the Seven Origin Heavenly Venerables out of seclusion. He ordered the Formation Ship to charge the main hall, where the seven elders appeared to meet them.

• Yin Jiao reported that all thirty-six border cities had fallen and that the heavenly soldiers were stationed along the walls beneath the Ruined Temple war banners.
• Kelān warned Gu Changqing that the Seven Origin Heavenly Venerables, powerful beings beyond the Sacrificial Dao Realm, would awaken after the border cities’ capture.
• Tongtian detected seven immense energy fluctuations awakening in the Origin Realm’s core region, and Gu Changqing said his forces would fight them regardless.
• Gu Changqing learned that the Origin Core could be used only once more and that using the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords would disable the Formation Ship’s systems after the battle.
• Gu Changqing ordered all forces to charge the main hall, and the Formation Ship advanced with the four Pureblood Origin Qilin.
• The white-eyed elder opened a circle that summoned seven robed elders, and Kelān identified them as the Seven Origin Heavenly Venerables emerging from seclusion.

The seven Origin Heavenly Venerables emerged and attacked the Formation Ship, overwhelming its defenses with their combined power. As the ship faced destruction, four Pureblood Origin Qilin charged the seven-colored light and were swallowed, leaving Xiaotian Dog howling in grief.

• The seven Origin Heavenly Venerables demanded that Gu Changqing surrender the Origin Core, and Gu Changqing refused.
• The Venerables combined their power into a seven-colored torrent that shattered the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, Zhao Gongming's Sea of Bitterness wall, and Nezha's Samadhi True Fire.
• Tongtian, Zhao Gongming, Nezha, and Yang Jian failed to stop the torrent as it neared the Formation Ship and began cracking its hull.
• The four Pureblood Origin Qilin charged the torrent and held it back for two breaths before it swallowed them and shattered their scales.
• The Venerables recognized the Qilin as their former allies' mounts and ordered them killed, while Xiaotian Dog howled in grief.

Gu Changqing spent the Origin Core to cripple the Seven Origin Heavenly Venerables and save the four Qilin, but the Formation Ship lost its power and defenses. As the seven venerables launched a final attack, the white-eyed old man watched from the hall steps.

• The seven robed old men suppressed the four Qilin with their colored palms and dropped them into the stardust belt, where they remained alive but gravely injured.
• Tongtian used the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords to shield the Qilin, while Zhao Gongming, Nezha, and Yang Jian reinforced the failing barrier.
• Gu Changqing withdrew the sword formation and launched the Origin Core at the intersection of the seven pillars, severely injuring the Seven Origin Heavenly Venerables and destroying the Core.
• Xiaotian Dog ran to the injured Qilin as the seven venerables joined their power into a single enormous palm aimed at the Formation Ship.
• Tongtian told Gu Changqing that the swords and the Formation Ship’s energy were spent, while the white-eyed old man declared that the lower-realm barbarians would die.

The Seven Origin Heavenly Venerables demanded that Gu Changqing kneel to their decree or face destruction, but he refused and the talisman detonated. Gu Changqing and his allies survived the blast despite the Formation Ship’s severe damage, leaving the seven venerables preparing to attack themselves.

• The seven elders issued a decree demanding that Gu Changqing kneel or be destroyed by a talisman bearing Origin laws.
• Gu Changqing questioned the elders’ claims, and Yang Jian judged that the talisman could destroy the void within a hundred thousand li but not the entire Savage Star Domain.
• Gu Changqing refused to kneel, and the talisman detonated, shattering nearby space and badly damaging the Formation Ship.
• Tongtian reported that the Formation Ship had lost its combat capability, while Yang Jian warned that the seven elders were waiting for the blast’s energy to disperse.
• The elders discovered that Gu Changqing and his allies had survived and that the Formation Ship remained intact, so the purple-robed elder said they would attack themselves.

Yang Jian used the Pangu Divine Axe to cleave the First Heavenly Venerable in half, leaving the red-robed elder struggling to heal. The other six elders moved to save him as Yang Jian returned to the Formation Ship, drained but ready to keep fighting.

• The seven elders combined their Origin Laws into a gigantic palm while Tongtian warned that the Formation Ship could no longer defend itself.
• Yang Jian opened a rift and drew out the Pangu Divine Axe, then empowered it with his Heavenly Eye.
• Yang Jian leaped from the Formation Ship and split the red pillar of light, annihilating half of the First Heavenly Venerable's body.
• The other six elders rushed to help the red-robed elder, whose Origin Law struggled to reconstruct his body against the axe's power.
• Yang Jian returned to the Formation Ship and told Nezha and Zhao Gongming that using the axe had drained seventy percent of his Heavenly Eye's power.
• The red-robed elder accused Yang Jian of daring to attack him, and Yang Jian defiantly asked what he would do about it.

The First Heavenly Venerable attacked Yang Jian before his body had fully reformed, forcing Yang Jian and his allies to exhaust their remaining strength defending against his fist. When Gu Changqing ordered Nezha to use the Transforming Freedom Technique, Nezha created a thousand clones and trapped the First Heavenly Venerable in a blazing formation.

• The First Heavenly Venerable ignored warnings and sent a gigantic crimson fist crashing toward Yang Jian, who had too little Heavenly Eye power left to strike effectively.
• Nezha and Zhao Gongming tried to block the fist with Samadhi True Fire and the Sea of Bitterness, but the First Heavenly Venerable boosted its strength with the Origin Law.
• Yang Jian's weakened axe strike failed to stop the fist, and four qilin sacrificed themselves to delay it for one breath.
• Gu Changqing ordered Nezha to use the Transforming Freedom Technique, and Nezha created one thousand twenty-four clones.
• The Nezhas formed the Demonic Fire Refining Heaven Formation around the First Heavenly Venerable and began burning him with Samadhi True Fire.
