Chapter Summaries

Shen Ye helped Dantai Mingyue reunite with Xu Xingke and agreed to help her form an organization for Gate Ability users. Before he could introduce her to Song Yinchen, the Heaven-Shaking Art’s aftershocks pursued him across worlds, and he survived only with the help of Renshen Rooster and the Carrot.

• Shen Ye fled through a Gate, used the Formless Heavenly Demon and his abilities to escape the art’s relentless aftershocks, and reached Hell.
• Renshen Rooster and the Carrot helped Shen Ye evade the final aftershock, ending the Heaven-Shaking Art’s attack.

Shen Ye traced the Heaven-Shaking Art to a sealed being in the Dharma Realm Sea and used Fate's Thorn to create an opening to investigate. After learning the being was the Terminus Lord of All Eras, he received word that his Gate Ability was about to advance.

• Shen Ye evolved Scandalous Protagonist into a mythical trait by devouring Silent Baron, then tricked the Heaven-Shaking Art into targeting a stone brick protected by Fate's Thorn.
• With Creator Chaluchitorik guiding him, Shen Ye sent the Formless Heavenly Demon into the Dharma Realm Sea and discovered an era-level seal beneath its depths.
• Shen Ye used the Gate ability to slip the Formless Heavenly Demon inside the seal, where it found a blood-soaked man trapped in a dark hall with a being on a throne.
• Fate's Thorn caused the Heaven-Shaking Art to strike the seal, and the blood-soaked man used the resulting opening to attack himself and disappear.
• Chaluchitorik told Shen Ye to abandon the Supreme Emotionless Ascension Scripture so the Formless Heavenly Demon could vanish, and identified the being as the Terminus Lord of All Eras.

Shen Ye sheltered on Dusk Star, cultivated the Supreme Emotionless Ascension Scripture, gained a new negative trait, and used a jade pendant to pursue the Heaven-Shaking Art in the past. After taking the identity of Ren Qingxiao, he was sent to Haoyang Heavenly Palace and exposed Zhang Beichen’s excuse for avoiding the mission.

• Shen Ye paid to shelter inside Dusk Star as it crossed Terminus Star’s Abyss Zone, then advanced his gate ability and cultivated his spiritual power into Nine Heavens Mystic Light.
• At midnight, Shen Ye chose to produce a negative trait and received Chain-Dropping Person, which could make a target commit a thoughtless mistake.

• Shen Ye returned to Penglai Mountain, where the Penglai Mountain Master gave him a gem that made him Ren Qingxiao and ordered him to lead disciples to Haoyang Heavenly Palace.
• Shen Ye selected Zhang Beichen for the mission and used Chain-Dropping Person on him; after Zhang Beichen claimed an injury but took a pill that healed it, Shen Ye pointed out that he was fit to travel.

Aboard the ancient Flying Ship, Shen Ye deduced a powerful new blade art and traded advice for a wondrous ring, then grew wary of Zhang Beichen and his hidden tentacle. Back in the future, Shen Ye gave the ring to Renshen, learned it could grant the rooster an intimidating costume change, and decided to investigate Zhang Beichen’s old cave abode in the 99th-Layer Universe.

• Shen Ye used the Spring Rain saber’s mythical trait to combine ancient blade arts with his own and created the Dark Gold blade art Avīci.

• Shen Ye decided to travel to the 99th-Layer Universe and search Zhang Beichen’s old cave abode for clues.

• Chaluchitorik told Shen Ye that Penglai Mountain’s Era Seal contained the Terminus Lord and that using the Three Arts together inside it would free the monster.
• Shen Ye asked Chaluchitorik to help him forget the Dao Scripture, which would make the Formless Heavenly Demon cease to exist.

Xiao Mengyu and Song Yinchen prepared to travel through the universe in an Insect Body to find Shen Ye, while Shen Ye discovered that the Heaven-Piercing Art rewarded him for pushing himself to surpass his previous efforts. After returning to Penglai Mountain in the past, he learned that its ancient records about the seal had been tampered with, and the Heaven-Piercing Art’s will urged him to race the monster for its inheritance.

• Shen Ye granted Big Skeleton sevenfold increased power with his Heaven-Piercing Art Spirit Light, then condensed a Primordial Formless Heavenly Demon Saint King by striving to surpass his previous work.
• Shen Ye ignored a message asking his location, then shattered the Demonized Gemstone to return to Penglai Mountain and warn the Penglai Mountain Master about the leaking seal.
• The Penglai Mountain Master explained that ancient records described the Three Arts as keys to the seal, but Shen Ye learned the records had been altered and received the Heaven-Piercing Art’s command to race the monster for the true inheritance.

Shen Ye learned that the Three Arts and the Immortal Kingdom’s chess-like time-traveling relics were part of a last resort against an ancient monster, then traveled to the past to seek the Heaven-Shaking Art. The enemy’s counter-moves left him trapped in a three-year-old body with lost memories, but he and Fei Lun prepared for danger and ambushed a pair of raiders.

• Shen Ye arrived in the past as Xu Qingfeng and won his first competition by peeing longer, farther, and louder than a dog, breaking the seal on his ability to summon a companion.
• Xu Qingfeng summoned Fei Lun, and the two hid in a cellar as raiders searched the village; when one raider mistook Fei Lun for a turtle, Fei Lun impaled him with bone spikes.

Shen Ye escaped the burning village, awakened his Emperor Species bloodline, and killed the bandits who had slaughtered its people. His enemy then altered his fate, leaving him ten years later as Xu Qingfeng in the Haoyang Heavenly Palace’s Benevolent Hall, where he began resisting the people who had exploited and bullied him.

• Shen Ye used the Ghost Cat to distract the bandits while he escaped the village, then jumped into the river to outrun a pursuing bandit.

• Shen Ye beat the youths who threatened him and slapped Zhao Wan'er after she insisted he had helped her willingly.

• Shen Ye practiced the Benevolent Hall's basic fist techniques and archery while Zhao Wan'er, reborn with knowledge of the future, gave him the Myth-grade dagger Soul Seizer and confessed her feelings.
• The Heaven-Piercing Art revealed that Zhao Wan'er was a covert Reset Pawn and warned Shen Ye that the other capable youths had also been reborn; Shen Ye fought them all off.
• Shen Ye learned that future cultivators from Haoyang Heavenly Palace would come to kill him, so he left the Benevolent Hall and broke his identity token, undoing that projected future.

• The Haoyang Stone recognized Shen Ye's aspiration to risk his life for the sect, and he requested a text livestream; the Heavenly Palace announced that his livestream had begun.

Shen Ye escaped the Supreme Sacred King’s chess art, returned to the Immortal Kingdom’s golden age, and used a second journey through time to avoid the Terminus Lord’s pursuit. After entering Haoyang Heavenly Palace and setting out to master the Demon-Subduing Mountain God Art, he awakened a new Dharma Form: the Taiyi Destiny-Deriving Salvation Dream Deity Palace.

• Nan Xingman destroyed Penglai Mountain’s foundations, killed the traitors with the chess pieces, and died after the Terminus Lord tried to stop her.

• Shen Ye awoke and learned that his Blood Moon and Soul Palace had fused into the Taiyi Destiny-Deriving Salvation Dream Deity Palace, which revealed impending dangers and regrets through dreams.

Tens of thousands of years later, Xiao Mengyu and Song Yinchen were expelled from the Supreme Dao Palace and decided to seek Xu Xingke’s help identifying the Saint Venerable’s gemstone. In the earlier era, Shen Ye used the Demonic Beast Dungeon to advance his cultivation and complete Haoyang Heavenly Palace’s trial, then accepted the offer to become a True Inheritor Disciple with enough treasures already collected.

• The Saint Venerable detected the Emperor Species aura on Xiao Mengyu and Song Yinchen, expelled them from the Supreme Dao Palace, and sent them to a barren planet; they decided to return to the Unfixed Layer and find Xu Xingke.

• Shen Ye accepted the offer and revealed that he had already collected more than the required 108 treasures, leaving the elders and disciples stunned.

After surviving an encounter with a nearly unstoppable monster in a cavern of heads, he returned with the Supreme Immortal Kingdom Dharma Form fully assembled and resolved to speak with Chaluchitorik.

• Fu Wangchen made Shen Ye promise to collect fifty-four more treasures and cultivate the divine curse before returning, then the elders teleported him away.

Chaluchitorik revealed that the universe would end with the Fifth Era and that the Three Arts might be its only hope, as the Terminus Lord began its invasion; Shen Ye decided to return to Haoyang Heavenly Palace.

• Chaluchitorik explained that Shen Ye had crossed the cosmic barrier and was being summoned to a selection where candidates sought passage to other ultimate creations.
• At the plaza, Shen Ye learned that five contestants planned to abandon the Multilayered Universe, while their ritual demanded that they defeat one another; his own wish to resurrect his heavenly demon was granted without a price.
• The contestants killed one another, and Shen Ye killed the last survivor rather than let him complete the selection; he signed the name Baxter and returned to the Immortal Kingdom Era.
• Chaluchitorik warned Shen Ye that the Terminus Lord had sensed the barrier breach and was coming to invade, and she explained that it sought the Three Arts to break its seal.
• Chaluchitorik revealed that the Multilayered Universe would end after the Fifth Era and that someone who fused the Three Arts had to seek other universes; as the Immortal Kingdom began to fall, Shen Ye chose to return to Haoyang Heavenly Palace.

Their combined power sealed the enemy and helped awaken Fifth Era power, but the Era Seal’s fate remained uncertain as the chapter ended.

• Shen Ye’s dream showed the Terminus Lord destroying Haoyang Heavenly Palace, Penglai Immortal Mountain, and the Three Arts masters, while his Bloodsucking Grandpa trait evolved to Primordial grade.
• Shen Ye realized the Three Arts masters had to cooperate, and Fu Wangchen believed his warning after recognizing the Haoyang Stone in Shen Ye’s jade pendant.

After learning the enemy was using humans and that its power traced back to the Terminus Lord of All Eras, Shen Ye abandoned his Seal Gate and gained a new, mysterious Gate Ability.

• A recruiter from the White Horse Society offered Shen Ye eternal life and a way out of the Primordial Ruins, but Shen Ye reported his barrier-jumping ability and learned the Multilayered Universe would patch the loophole.
• Shen Ye identified the Despair Manifestor’s Pupil Technique, Helplessness, hid from its gaze, and tested whether the Demon-Slaying Mage could see his Haoyang Sect livestream messages.

Back in the Primordial Ruins, he set his sights on earning Truth Soul Shards and prepared to confront the returning Despair Manifestor with Fei Lun.
