Chapter Summaries

Xu Changxing traveled through the Immortal Realm, observed how its apparent prosperity strained the weakened Small Worlds, and gained a deeper understanding of the Way of Life and Death. As he prepared to explore the Abyss, he found Li Changge battling three top-tier Golden Immortals over a mortal woman and declaring that he would take her away.

Li Changge fought a group of Golden Immortals to take his disciple Jiang Yao away, but withdrew when their combined strength overwhelmed him. Xu Changxing discovered that Jiang Yao wore a pendant resembling the cast-off shell of an Innate Spirit Treasure, then whisked her away as Li Changge vanished.

The Golden Immortals debated how to handle Li Changge and Jiang Yao, then discovered Jiang Yao had vanished from her intact prison formation. Their leader revealed that her pendant was likely the Star River Pendant, tied to Wuyou Immortal Venerable and the Eye of the Great Dao, and decided to seek the Myriad Immortals Alliance's intervention.

• The Golden Immortals argued over whether to surrender Jiang Yao to the Myriad Immortals Alliance or keep pursuing the secrets of her pendant, while their leader insisted they could still deal with Li Changge together.
• A middle-aged Heavenly Immortal reported to his master that Jiang Yao had disappeared, and the Golden Immortals found her gone from the intact Immortal Formation.

• The leader identified Jiang Yao's pendant as likely the Star River Pendant, lost by Wuyou Immortal Venerable after entering the Eye of the Great Dao.
• The leader explained that the Myriad Immortals Alliance would care about the pendant because it had been inside the Eye of the Great Dao, which might hold a way to survive the Final Tribulation.

Xu Changxing rescued Jiang Yao from the restrictions trapping her and reunited her with Li Changge, then gave her Heavenly Spirit Jade as a first-meeting gift. The jade awakened her Star River Pendant and drove her cultivation to late Spirit Transformation, leaving Li Changge and Xu Changxing suspecting she was the reincarnation of an Innate Spirit Treasure.

• Immortal Monarch Jingting appeared with the Golden Immortals who had besieged Li Changge and ordered him to hand over Jiang Yao or face his strength.

Xu Changxing appeared as Immortal Monarch Jingting moved to capture Li Changge and Jiang Yao, then effortlessly sealed Jingting and another Golden Immortal inside a jade talisman. He sent the talisman to the Myriad Immortals Alliance with orders for Jingting to spend ten thousand years facing the wall, and the remaining Golden Immortals fled.

• Xu Changxing gave the talisman to a Golden Immortal and ordered him to deliver it to Green Lotus Immortal Monarch, saying Jingting would face the wall for ten thousand years.
• The Golden Immortal agreed to deliver the talisman, and the remaining Golden Immortals scattered.

Green Lotus Immortal Monarch learned that Xu Changxing had sealed Immortal Monarch Jingting inside a jade talisman after Jingting investigated Jiang Yao’s disappearance. He decided that the Myriad Immortals Alliance had to free Jingting before addressing the larger conflict.

• Green Lotus Immortal Monarch confirmed from Chengping’s projected memories that Xu Changxing had sealed Jingting, then dismissed Chengping without blame.
• Green Lotus Immortal Monarch told his Dao Attendant that the Alliance would first release Jingting from the jade pendant.

• The Green Lotus Immortal Monarch and Immortal Monarch Jingting traced Great Dao patterns against each other, but the jade talisman remained intact.
• The Green Lotus Immortal Monarch sent his Dao Attendant to warn the other Immortal Monarchs to watch the Tianyan Sect, then suspected Xu Changxing had sealed Jingting with a supreme treasure.

• Xu Changxing opened a spatial passage and took Li Changge and Jiang Yao to the entrance of the Abyss.
• Li Changge entered the Abyss with Jiang Yao and Xu Changxing, then used his flying sword to slay demonic beasts.

Xu Changxing and Li Changge parted ways in the Abyss after discussing its Destruction Law and the old deer’s role in Li Changge meeting Jiang Yao. Xu Changxing traveled down to the Ninety-Ninth Abyss Layer, where he sensed a hidden danger that might be disrupting the Tianyan Pearl’s simulations, and began searching for clues.

• Xu Changxing explained that his Primordial Spirit followed Spatial Law while his physical body followed the Way of Destruction, and told Li Changge the local Abyss overlord had fled after Xu Changxing injured it.
• Li Changge decided to explore the layer and adapt to its Great Dao Laws before seeking a fight with an Abyss Overlord, while Xu Changxing set off for deeper layers.
• Xu Changxing asked about the old deer, and Li Changge explained that it had led him toward the opportunity where he met Jiang Yao before hiding nearby.
• Xu Changxing crossed the intervening Abyss layers and reached the Ninety-Ninth Abyss Layer, whose vastness and subtle Great Dao fluctuations matched his simulations except for a faint aura of danger.
• Xu Changxing concealed his aura and searched the Ninety-Ninth Abyss Layer for clues about a possible powerful Demonic Beast interfering with the Tianyan Pearl’s simulations.

Xu Changxing investigated three anomalous locations in the Ninety-Ninth Abyss Layer and questioned its overlord, Kalen, about the hidden dangers. Kalen warned him about a valley where three former overlords vanished and revealed that the blood-soaked killing ground had once been the lair of an ancient Great Overlord.

• Xu Changxing found a valley with chaotic Great Dao rules, a hill likely occupied by the layer's Abyss Overlord, and a killing field where blood appeared to be forming rules.
• Xu Changxing visited the hill and confronted Kalen, whose immense body and strength surpassed those of earlier Abyss Overlords.
• Kalen calmly allowed Xu Changxing to explore, and Xu Changxing asked about the valley's chaotic rules.
• Kalen said three former Abyss Overlords had disappeared after entering the valley and warned Xu Changxing to stay away.
• Xu Changxing asked about the killing field, and Kalen explained that it had once been the lair of an ancient Abyss Overlord whose power made him one of the few Great Overlords in the Endless Abyss.

Xu Changxing questioned Kalen about the Blood-Colored Land and a dangerous valley, then secretly watched Kalen prepare a blood-based means of resurrection. Xu Changxing suspected Kalen had a connection to the unknown object in the valley and doubted how much of Kalen’s warning was true.

• Kalen explained that a mad Great Overlord’s blood turned the Blood-Colored Land into a place where demons and even aspiring overlords lost their sanity and died.
• Kalen warned Xu Changxing about a strange object in a valley whose aura resembled his, though Kalen had never entered the valley.
• After Xu Changxing vanished, Kalen cut himself and scattered his blood across the land, apparently preparing for resurrection.
• Xu Changxing watched from an interstice of space and sensed that Kalen’s blood resonated with something in the valley.
• Xu Changxing concluded that Kalen was connected to whatever lay in the valley and questioned the truth of Kalen’s warning.

Xu Changxing explored a mist-shrouded valley in the Abyss and found the remains of powerful Demonic Beasts leading to a five-element formation. There, he met Zhongji Daoist, who had hidden from the Immortal Realm’s Final Tribulation, and the chapter ended with Xu Changxing questioning his claim that no escape was possible.

• Xu Changxing entered the valley and used the Time Great Dao to confirm that Demonic Beasts had died there in waves.
• He found the skeletons of two Abyss lords, both of whom had fallen before reaching the valley’s depths.
• Xu Changxing reached a platform with five elemental flags that altered the surrounding Great Dao Laws.
• An aged voice revealed that its speaker was Zhongji Daoist, who had set up the formation to hide from the Final Tribulation.
• When Xu Changxing said he sought a way to survive the Final Tribulation, Zhongji Daoist erupted in anger and ordered him to leave.
• Xu Changxing asked Zhongji Daoist why he believed there was no way to escape the Final Tribulation there.

Xu Changxing exposed the false Zhongji Daoist as the Abyss Great Overlord Kalen, who had absorbed Zhongji Daoist’s memories after killing him. Xu Changxing resisted the overlord’s temptations and attacks, and the chapter ended with the imprisoned beast urging him to enter the formation if he wanted to fight.

• Xu Changxing challenged the voice claiming to be Zhongji Daoist and identified it as the Great Overlord Kalen.
• Xu Changxing dispersed the storm and revealed the enormous demon imprisoned beneath the Five Elements Formation Flags.
• The Great Overlord said Zhongji Daoist had invaded its territory, and it had killed and swallowed him, absorbing his memories and soul.
• Xu Changxing rejected the overlord’s offer to draw on its power after recognizing the offer as a trap.
• The Great Overlord attacked with Law Spears, but Xu Changxing stopped the formation and dispersed the attack.
• The Great Overlord admitted it could not break free of the formation and told Xu Changxing to enter if he wanted to fight.

Xu Changxing avoided the Abyss Great Overlord’s trap and set up a Domain Formation across the Ninety-Ninth Abyss Layer to reveal its hidden laws and spatial rifts. The Great Overlord eventually broke free of its restraints, transformed into a Daoist, and revealed a connection to Zhongji Daoist.

• Xu Changxing left the mist-shrouded valley rather than risk entering the Abyss Great Overlord’s trap.
• Xu Changxing placed forty-nine formation cores across the Ninety-Ninth Abyss Layer and completed the Domain Formation, whose changing laws Kalen sensed while he pretended to sleep.
• Xu Changxing activated the formation, spreading Immortal Light that calmed low-level Demonic Beasts and exposed the layer’s underlying Great Dao and hidden Spatial Rifts.
• The Abyss Great Overlord broke free of the Five Elements Formation Flags, absorbed the mist, and transformed into a gray-bearded Daoist.
• Xu Changxing stopped the formation and asked whether he should address the Daoist as Zhongji Daoist or Great Overlord.

Zhongji Daoist revealed that he had fused with the Abyss Great Overlord to evade the Final Tribulation and tried to make Xu Changxing merge with him. After Zhongji destroyed Xu Changxing’s Domain Formation and unleashed an army of blood dragons, Xu Changxing resisted his Weirdness Laws and shattered the space around them.

• Zhongji Daoist explained that he had refined the Abyss Great Overlord and spent a million years suppressing its tainted Slaughter Laws.
• Zhongji Daoist demanded that Xu Changxing merge with him, but Xu Changxing activated his Domain Formation and said Zhongji had lost his home-ground advantage.
• Zhongji Daoist used the Five Elements Formation Flags to alter the Abyss’s Great Dao Laws and collapse Xu Changxing’s Domain Formation.
• Zhongji Daoist summoned nearly a thousand blood dragons, and Xu Changxing held them back with a spatial rift.
• Zhongji Daoist inscribed a bloody rune on his forehead and attacked Xu Changxing with Weirdness Laws, but Xu Changxing suppressed them and shattered the surrounding space.

Xu Changxing used the Space-Time Great Dao against Zhongji Daoist, who had fused with the Abyss and could survive being torn apart. Zhongji Daoist failed to overcome Xu Changxing’s control of space and time, and the chapter ended with Xu Changxing’s spatial formation cutting down the blood dragons.

• Xu Changxing repeatedly fractured space, cutting Zhongji Daoist into hundreds of pieces, but Zhongji Daoist said the Abyss made him undying.
• Zhongji Daoist sent a thousand blood dragons through the spatial formation, and their blood patched a path through it as many were destroyed.
• Xu Changxing reversed time for the surviving blood dragons, sending them back to their starting point without restoring their fallen companions.
• Zhongji Daoist recognized Xu Changxing’s Space-Time Great Dao and insisted that mastering the Abyss would let him defeat Xu Changxing.
• Zhongji Daoist’s attempt to use the Way of Destiny failed to affect Xu Changxing, who sent the spatial formation against the blood dragons.
• As Xu Changxing’s formation reaped the blood dragons, Zhongji Daoist’s scattered flesh could no longer fully form his face.

Xu Changxing used the Tianyan Pearl to devour the Abyss layer’s Great Dao and counter Zhongji Daoist’s curses, driving Zhongji Daoist to unleash his blood dragons. After Zhongji Daoist anchored time to prevent Xu Changxing from reversing it, Xu Changxing charged directly at the dragons.

• Xu Changxing revealed the Tianyan Pearl and used it to freeze the Weirdness Laws and draw the Abyss layer’s Great Dao into a growing vortex.
• Xu Changxing repeatedly cut apart Zhongji Daoist and used the pearl to disperse the curses Zhongji Daoist sent against him.

• Zhongji Daoist anchored the laws of time with his cultivation to prevent Xu Changxing from reversing time.
• Xu Changxing met the hundreds of blood-colored dragons head-on.

Xu Changxing overwhelmed Zhongji Daoist’s blood-colored dragons with the Way of Destruction, then used the Tianyan Pearl to extract the Great Daos sustaining this layer of the Abyss. As the layer began to collapse, Xu Changxing found an unusual Spatial Rift that seemed to lead deeper into the Abyss.

• Zhongji Daoist sent hundreds of blood-colored dragons to surround Xu Changxing, but Xu Changxing crushed them with the Way of Destruction.
• Zhongji Daoist strengthened the surviving dragons with Abyssal laws, slowing Xu Changxing’s attacks, but Xu Changxing used his superior Spatial Law to evade their seals and keep slaughtering them.
• Xu Changxing set up a spatial killing formation around the remaining dragons, while the Tianyan Pearl dispersed Zhongji Daoist’s curses.
• Xu Changxing used the Tianyan Pearl to extract the Great Daos sustaining the Abyssal layer, causing its foundation to shake and revealing hidden Spatial Rifts.
• Xu Changxing searched the revealed rifts and found an unusually deep Spatial Rift with a faint aura from farther down the Abyss.

Xu Changxing extracted the Ninety-Ninth Abyss Layer’s Great Dao Laws and erased Zhongji Daoist’s imprints, leaving the realm near collapse. He questioned Kalen about the Bottom of the Abyss and the mysterious spatial fissure, but Kalen could not explain who had created it.

• Xu Changxing marked the spatial fissure and used the Tianyan Pearl to extract the layer’s Great Dao Laws, then used the Annihilation Dao Art to erase Zhongji Daoist’s traces from them.
• After several days of extraction, the Ninety-Ninth Abyss Layer’s Great Dao had withered, and Xu Changxing suppressed the insights he gained from destroying the realm.
• Xu Changxing approached the frightened Kalen and asked what he knew about the Bottom of the Abyss.
• Kalen explained that Abyss Great Overlords entered the Bottom of the Abyss near the ends of their lives, where the Great Dao of Slaughter drove them toward madness and death.
• Xu Changxing asked who might have left the spatial fissure and whether other Great Overlords had existed in the layer, but Kalen did not know.

Xu Changxing questioned Kalen about a Spatial Rift that might lead to the Bottom of the Abyss and made him prepare to enter it first. After Kalen explained his preparations and agreed to guide Xu Changxing, Xu Changxing widened and stabilized the rift, leaving them ready to enter.

• Xu Changxing asked Kalen whether the Spatial Rift led to the Bottom of the Abyss, and Kalen said his Bloodline Memory suggested it did.
• Xu Changxing told Kalen to test the rift first, then promised to grant him a reasonable request if he served as a guide.
• Kalen agreed and prepared by shrinking his body and inscribing layers of runes to resist spatial damage and disguise his aura.
• Kalen explained that destroying the layer's rules had awakened suppressed, disordered Bloodline Memories about the Bottom of the Abyss.
• After Kalen declared himself ready, Xu Changxing used golden light to widen the Spatial Rift and stabilize it.
