Chapter Summaries

Li Xian waited ten eras beside the Book of Destiny and searched the Immortal Realm for the Great Dao of Fate, but found no answer. After intervening to protect the Blood Sword Immortal King, he suddenly realized something about fate as he was leaving.

• Li Xian went to the Heaven's Mandate Cult and examined the Book of Destiny, then spread his Divine Sense across the Immortal Realm and probed its Origin Sea for the Great Dao of Fate.
• Unable to find fate in the Origin Sea, Li Xian observed members of the Great Dao Golden Immortal Ranking and narrowed his attention to three whose lives were marked by struggle and danger.
• After nearly ten eras, Li Xian saw that the Blood Sword Immortal King had died at the hands of a stronger Golden Immortal, so he left a strand of Sword Intent in a cave abode to help him survive the encounter.
• Li Xian abandoned his search and prepared to leave the Heaven's Mandate Cult, but suddenly recalled the events of the past ten eras and exclaimed that he had realized something about fate.

Li Xian understood fate as the resolve to struggle and shape his own future, then set out to confront the Space-Time Divine Hall. With Lingxu restored as a Chaos Supreme Treasure and his strength greatly increased, he arrived near the Hall and demanded that it prepare for battle.

• Li Xian realized that fate meant striving against the impossible and declared that he would command his own fate.
• Li Xian ordered Qiansi to obtain the Space-Time Divine Hall’s coordinates and told Ren Zai to open a Space-Time Channel, warning that the Hall would be destroyed if it lacked sufficient power.
• Lingxu appeared after restoring herself as a Chaos Supreme Treasure and asked to fight alongside Li Xian, who agreed.
• Qiansi delivered the coordinates, and Li Xian’s group traveled by Flying Boat toward the Space-Time Divine Hall while Ren Zai piloted the craft.
• Li Xian ordered Ren Zai to tell the Space-Time Divine Hall that he had arrived and to make its fullest preparations for the coming battle.

Li Xian confronted the Space-Time Divine Hall, where Eradication challenged him alone and unleashed increasingly powerful sword strikes. Li Xian survived both attacks and taunted the assembled envoys, who finally prepared to attack together as Qiansi warned that they might be using the fight to locate his space-time coordinates.

• Sui Chen and the Space-Time Envoys planned to use Eradication to hold Wuxian in place while the Space-Time Divine Mirror traced his coordinates.

• Li Xian blocked Eradication's first sword strike with Universe in the Palm, endured a deep wound, and quickly recovered.
• Eradication raised his Ultimate Force to 50% and cut Li Xian's body in two, but Li Xian pieced himself back together and recovered again.
• Qiansi warned Li Xian that the Space-Time Divine Hall might be using karma to locate his coordinates, while Ren Zai remained behind him, hoping to be useful if the hall fell.
• The Space-Time Envoys decided Eradication could not defeat Li Xian alone and charged together.

Li Xian’s Wuxian Great Dao began multiplying its Chaos Realm layers under space-time acceleration, allowing him to withstand the Space-Time Envoys’ united attacks and advance toward the Space-Time Divine Hall. The envoys summoned reinforcements as Li Xian’s glazed radiance continued growing, threatening to destroy their stronghold.

• Li Xian unleashed the Heaven-Opening Art, whose impact terrified some Space-Time Envoys, and killed one as the others’ attacks struck him.
• Li Xian expanded his four Chaos Realm layers to eight and used karma and reincarnation to dispel the envoys’ attacks, while Shuomie and Eradication organized a concentrated counterattack.
• Li Xian focused on his Wuxian Great Dao and rapidly multiplied his Chaos Realms to sixteen, then thirty-two, as space-time acceleration hastened their recovery and division.
• The Space-Time Envoys realized Li Xian was moving toward the Space-Time Divine Hall and warned that losing it would prevent them from replenishing their ultimate power.
• Li Xian’s Chaos Realms reached sixty-four layers as the Divine Hall sent out more envoys, whose attacks also failed to stop his advance.
• Li Xian’s glazed radiance began growing toward one hundred twenty-eight layers as he threatened to smash the Space-Time Divine Hall and end the Space-Time Ultimate Overlords in the Chaos Void.

Li Xian pushed the Space-Time Divine Hall to the brink of defeat while contemplating the Great Being behind it and the path to the Ultimate Realm. As Li Xian began to break through, the Great Being’s power revealed his space-time coordinates, and Gui Ling entered a gate to erase him in the past.

• Twenty-six Space-Time Envoys attacked Li Xian, but their assaults barely slowed him, and their ultimate power began to run out.
• Xuan Ji warned Sui Chen and Gui Ling that Wuxian was far stronger than the envoys could handle, while Li Xian’s presence struck and engulfed the Space-Time Divine Hall.
• Li Xian traced the hall’s power to the Great Being behind it, expanded his Chaos Realms toward five hundred twelvefold, and resolved to find a way beyond absolute invincibility.
• Li Xian’s Glazed Treasure Light overwhelmed the Space-Time Divine Hall as he approached a breakthrough, while the Great Beings’ attention briefly shifted toward him.
• The Great Being behind the Space-Time Divine Hall’s power exposed Li Xian’s coordinates, and Sui Chen sent Gui Ling through the Space-Time Shuttle Gate to erase him in his earliest era.

Space-Time Envoy Gui Ling traveled to the past and manipulated Yan Shui Rou’s relationships to ruin Li Xian, the Wuxian Overlord’s original self. He arranged for Li Xian to marry Liu Yanran, then watched as she had him kicked into a river, where he drowned, before Gui Ling returned to his own time.

• Gui Ling entered Pinewind Academy in Jiang Xiaoyu’s body, identified Li Xian as the Wuxian Overlord’s original self, and spent days tracing his relationships.
• Gui Ling secretly enhanced Yan Shui Rou’s Spiritual Root and manipulated her karmic ties, leading her to win recognition as an Immortal Seedling and seek marriage with Yan Shikai.

• Li Xian followed Liu Yanran through the rain as she went to meet Yan Kaigui, and a martial artist kicked him into the river at her order.
• Li Xian drowned, and Gui Ling erased the traces of his visit before returning through the Space-Time Shuttle Gate.

Li Xian awakened his Ultimate Will, expanded until he swallowed the Space-Time Divine Hall, and resisted the Great Being behind it as an equal. The Great Being then gathered attacks from countless versions of himself across time into one torrent, leaving Li Xian facing an overwhelming assault.

• Li Xian realized that his erased identity made him both fate and void, then turned his will of eternal existence tangible and used the Wuxian Great Dao as its vessel.

• After completing a circuit of the Space-Time Ring, Li Xian aligned with a self absent from its space-time and leaped beyond it.
• Li Xian awoke as a gunman declared that “Li Xian, invincible under heaven, is dead.”

After returning to Blue Star, Li Xian killed the gunman who had murdered him and began testing how far he could strengthen his mortal body without supernatural energy. While eating at a buffet, he recognized a Heavenly Martial Dojo disciple, and the dojo arrived with armed police to confront him.

• Li Xian began tempering his flesh-and-blood body, calculated that he could eventually sustain himself with sunlight, and went to a buffet to replenish his energy.
• Li Xian recognized a Heavenly Martial Dojo disciple who had witnessed his earlier challenge and guessed that the man resented him.
• The Heavenly Martial Dojo arrived at the restaurant with armed police, prompting Li Xian to lower his chopsticks and prepare to face them.

After killing Wu Gang and the Heavenly Martial Dojo fighters, Li Xian completed his transformation into a xiantian body and traveled to Star State to find Fang Lingxiao. When Qin Ming and his armed men tried to stop them leaving, Li Xian declared that he was invincible under heaven.

When a battalion and two attack helicopters arrived at Rolling Cloud Mountain, Li Xian destroyed their forces with Sword Qi, leaving the confrontation unresolved.
