Chapter Summaries

The Emperor Realm Remnant Beast panicked after divination showed its death and hurried to secure Lin Yi’s help with the Curse. Lin Yi received the Thousand Illusions Dragon Pattern Boat, which recognized him as its master, while the beast left to gather the treatment materials.

• The Emperor Realm Remnant Beast’s divination showed that Dark Mist City could kill it, and the Crystal Ball advised it to offer an Emperor Artifact to win the Fuzhu White Deer’s cooperation.
• The Emperor Realm Remnant Beast chose the Thousand Illusions Dragon Pattern Boat from its master’s four treasures and rushed to the Wind Thunder Locking Heaven Formation.

• Lin Yi requested Spirit Herbs and Emperor-grade materials from the floating island, and the Emperor Realm Remnant Beast hurried off to collect them.
• The Thousand Illusions Dragon Pattern Boat recognized Lin Yi as its master, and its Little Dragon Artifact Spirit greeted him and complained about the Emperor Realm Remnant Beast.

Lin Yi learned about Yuan Chenzi’s four Emperor Artifacts and used a pill-refining ruse to drug the Emperor Realm Remnant Beast. The beast fell unconscious during Lin Yi’s attempted curse treatment, leaving him free to act.

• The Little Dragon Artifact Spirit told Lin Yi that its former master, Yuan Chenzi, had fallen in the Outer Domain Chaos war and described the Mountain Splitting Sword, Old Fang, the Heaven Suppressing Earth Locking Pagoda, and the Divination Crystal Ball.
• Lin Yi learned that the other Emperor Artifacts were hidden in the Mustard Seed Space, which the Emperor Realm Remnant Beast guarded, and that the beast planned to keep him from leaving after its Curse was cured.
• After the Emperor Realm Remnant Beast returned with the requested materials, Lin Yi pretended he needed to refine a pill before treating the Curse and followed it to the pill-refining area.
• Lin Yi secretly mixed Dragon Dust of Intoxication into the furnace while refining the pills, then gave one to the Emperor Realm Remnant Beast after it inspected and swallowed it.
• Lin Yi used his Purification Divinity to cover the drug’s effects, and the Emperor Realm Remnant Beast soon collapsed into a deep coma.

Lin Yi drugged the Emperor Realm Remnant Beast, stole its treasures, and looted the Wind Thunder Floating Island while it slept. He then reached the Mustard Seed Space, where a Divination Crystal Ball offered to help him claim Yuan Chenzi’s inheritance in exchange for being taken out of the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm.

• Lin Yi confirmed the Emperor Realm Remnant Beast was deeply asleep, then erased the Soul Mark on its Storage Ring and found the Chaos Source Crystal hidden inside its body.
• Lin Yi took the beast’s Emperor Fruits and other valuables, trapped it with the Nameless Emperor Trapping Killing Formation, and looted the island’s fields, workshops, materials, and Wind Thunder Runes.
• Lin Yi followed Xiao Long to the Mustard Seed Space, where a Divination Crystal Ball emerged and warned that the sleeping beast would wake within an hour.
• The Divination Crystal Ball revealed that Yuan Chenzi’s inheritance was hidden in his corpse and required recognition from three Emperor Artifacts.
• The Divination Crystal Ball offered to help Lin Yi obtain the artifacts’ recognition if he took it out of the secret realm.

Lin Yi entered the Mustard Seed Space to claim Master Yuan Chenzi’s inheritance and three Emperor Artifacts. The artifacts recognized that his Fuzhu White Deer body concealed a human divine soul, but they refused to accept him because of their old master’s hatred of the Source Realm.

• Lin Yi entered the Mustard Seed Space and saw Master Yuan Chenzi’s remains beside a sword, cauldron, and pagoda.

• The Mountain Splitting Sword examined Lin Yi’s Fuzhu Incarnation and sensed a human divine soul within its exotic-beast shell.
• The Mountain Splitting Sword, Old Fang Cauldron, and Heaven Suppressing Earth Locking Pagoda refused to accept Lin Yi because they distrusted anyone connected to the Source Realm.

Lin Yi’s Fuzhu Incarnation gained the allegiance of three Emperor Artifacts after promising to uncover the truth behind Yuan Chenzi’s death and seek revenge. The artifacts opened Yuan Chenzi’s inheritance, giving Lin Yi the Artifact Fusion Method, Sword Heart Flow, and other artifact-centered techniques to study.

• The Mountain Splitting Sword, Old Fang Cauldron, and Heaven Suppressing Earth Locking Pagoda agreed to acknowledge Lin Yi as master, provided he pursued justice for Yuan Chenzi and avoided the Heavenly Palace traitors.
• The three Emperor Artifacts completed their master-recognition ritual with Lin Yi’s Fuzhu Incarnation, stabilizing his connection to them and the Thousand Illusions Dragon Pattern Boat.
• The Mountain Splitting Sword explained Yuan Chenzi’s Artifact Fusion Method, which joined a cultivator with an Emperor Artifact but required exceptional strength and perfect mutual understanding.
• The three artifacts opened the inheritance hidden in Yuan Chenzi’s corpse and guided its stream of knowledge into Lin Yi’s sea of consciousness.
• Lin Yi examined Yuan Chenzi’s Artifact Dao and Sword Dao inheritances, including the Artifact Nurturing Method, Ancient Material Artifact Forging Method, Artifact Seeding Body Method, and Sword Heart Flow.

Lin Yi left the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm entrance to join an operation against the Restore Heaven organization, but the Glazed Empress exempted him from the mission after he revealed that the item Lord Flame Emperor sought was inside the secret realm. She then told him that several peak Emperor Realm figures from the Source Realm, not the Heavenly Palace, were likely using Restore Heaven as a pawn.

• Lin Yi received a summons to help capture Heavenly Palace remnants hiding among the Tidal Spirit Sea fleet, and he and Zhu Hao led their forces away from the secret realm entrance.
• At the spirit boat, Zhu Hao introduced Lin Yi to Red Luan, Xuanyuan, and Ning Chengkong before the Glazed Empress assigned teams to capture members of Restore Heaven.
• Lin Yi privately told the Glazed Empress that the item Lord Flame Emperor needed was in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, and she agreed to cover for his unusual actions.
• The Glazed Empress excused Lin Yi from the operation and took him into her cabin, where she revealed that several peak Emperor Realm experts backed Restore Heaven.
• The Glazed Empress said the hidden figures were powerful Source Realm leaders who had pushed Restore Heaven forward as a pawn.

Lin Yi escaped Wind Thunder Floating Island after taking its inheritance and Emperor Artifact, then watched the awakened Thunder Roar Beast wreak havoc and suffer the secret realm’s punishment. Back with the Glazed Empress, he learned that the Restore Heaven operation had captured its members, while keeping the Flame Emperor’s objective secret from her.

• Lin Yi learned from the Crystal Ball’s Remnant Soul that the island’s remaining Great Dao inheritance could only be sought through the Thunder Roar Beast’s divine ability seed, then left before the beast awakened.
• The Thunder Roar Beast awoke to find its nest and its master’s remains looted, then pursued Lin Yi’s Fuzhu Incarnation and killed two trial teams before the secret realm struck it with Thunder Punishment.
• Lin Yi watched the Thunder Roar Beast’s rampage from a concealed valley and learned that the secret realm’s punishment could injure it but probably could not kill it.
• The Glazed Empress told Lin Yi that Zhu Hao and the others had captured Restore Heaven members, and that their schemes might involve breaking through to the Great Dao Realm.
• The Glazed Empress reported four Southern Guardian Army casualties, then demanded to know why the Flame Emperor’s desired item was in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm; Lin Yi refused to reveal its details and asked her to help when needed.

The Glazed Empress destroyed the Emperor Realm Void Beasts attacking the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, but discovered that their assault and her slaughter had been part of a sacrificial formation. Meanwhile, the Jupiter Tower Master admitted betraying the Star Brilliance Tower for a promised chance at the Great Dao Realm and escaped with the imprisoned Restore Heaven members.

• The Glazed Empress and Lin Yi found the Sealing Emperor Formation shattered and dozens of Emperor Realm Void Beasts attacking the secret realm entrance, so she took Lin Yi's Divine Hammer and charged into battle.
• The Glazed Empress slaughtered the Void Beasts while Lin Yi stayed back, and Cang Xuance reported that the Jupiter Tower Master's avatar had vanished.

• The Glazed Empress noticed the slain beasts' blood forming strange patterns around the secret realm and realized that her battle had completed a sacrificial formation.

Lin Yi and the Glazed Empress responded to the Blood Sacrifice Formation threatening the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm Passage, while the Star Brilliance Tower mobilized to defend the entrance and find a way to dismantle it safely. The chapter ended with Li Chanfeng’s formation team beginning a Same Source Repulsion Formation under the protection of Lin Yi’s White Tiger Captains and the Venus Tower Master.

• Lin Yi and the Glazed Empress determined that the Blood Sacrifice Formation had taken root in the damaged Sealing Emperor Formation and that breaking it by force could close the secret realm passage prematurely.
• Lin Yi briefed his Great Elder senior brother, who suspected the Restore Heaven organization planned something inside the secret realm and said he would contact their master.
• The Glazed Empress assembled the Four Directions Guardians, Tower Masters, and more than a thousand Emperor Realm experts, then ordered them to protect the passage and investigate the Blood Sacrifice Formation.
• Lin Yi assigned his White Tiger Captains to defend the entrance and warned Hu Xiongsha and the others not to pursue vacant posts while the crisis remained unresolved.
• Li Chanfeng proposed using a Same Source Repulsion Formation to suppress the Blood Sacrifice Formation without damaging the passage, and Lin Yi ordered Lei Kun to guard the formation team as they began setting it up.

Lin Yi and the Starfall City forces worked to complete a counter-formation while a Bone Boat carrying three late Emperor Realm enemies launched an assault. As the battle spread across the Tidal Spirit Sea, the Rotten Flesh Emperor slipped toward Lin Yi’s defensive line, and the Chaos Profound Bell warned him of the approaching threat.

• The Venus Tower Master reinforced the defenses around the counter-formation and told Lin Yi to guard the inner perimeter as Li Chanfeng’s group advanced their work.
• The Blood Spider Emperor, Rotten Flesh Emperor, and a black-robed evil cultivator arrived on a Bone Boat, prompting the Venus Tower Master to intercept them and fight the Blood Spider Emperor.
• The Rotten Flesh Emperor opened a spatial rift that released an army of evil creatures, forcing Xuanyuan and Hongluan’s battle formations into a desperate defense.
• Xuanyuan and Hongluan identified the Bone Boat as the rift’s core and led an assault against it while the Rotten Flesh Emperor secretly headed for the counter-formation.
• The Chaos Profound Bell warned Lin Yi that an enemy was approaching, and he sent Lei Kun to protect Li Chanfeng’s formation team instead of letting him fight with the artifact.

Lin Yi used the Chaos Profound Bell and other Emperor Artifacts to hold off the late Emperor Realm Rotten Flesh Emperor and his ten thousand clones while the defenders repaired the Blood Sacrifice Counter-Formation. As Lin Yi remained under siege, Di Xian watched from Taiyi City's flagship, learned about a possible Great Dao inheritance, and considered Lin Yi's promise and connections.

• The Rotten Flesh Emperor ambushed Lin Yi, but Lin Yi summoned the Chaos Profound Bell and used his Divine Demon Phantom to meet the attack head-on.
• The Rotten Flesh Emperor unleashed more than ten thousand clones, forcing Lin Yi to defend himself with the Chaos Profound Bell and Primordial Shield while the White Tiger Captains briefly tried to help.
• Lin Yi sent the White Tiger Captains back to the final defensive line, where his efforts to draw most of the enemy's attacks helped the defenders hold while Li Chanfeng and the Array Masters repaired the Blood Sacrifice Counter-Formation.
• Di Xian arrived aboard the Myriad Emperor Alliance Ship and questioned his elders about the attack, learning that the Heavenly Palace remnants might be tied to a hidden organization seeking a Great Dao inheritance.
• Di Xian noticed Lin Yi's stand against the Rotten Flesh Emperor and learned his name and connections, but decided to wait and see how Lin Yi performed before inviting him to the Myriad Emperor Alliance.

The Glazed Empress and Star Brilliance Tower’s reinforcements turned the battle in the Tidal Spirit Sea against the evil creatures, while Lin Yi recovered from his exhausting fight. A highest-level alert announced that Starfall City was under attack, and as doubt grew over the Flame Emperor’s absence, Mo Yan revealed his true strength and overwhelmed the Four Great Guardians.

• The Glazed Empress and Four Great Guardians arrived, severely wounded the Blood Spider Emperor, and drove the Rotten Flesh Emperor into retreat.
• The Western Guardian struck the Rotten Flesh Emperor as it fled, while Lin Yi returned to the defensive line and recovered by swallowing Hu Xiongsha’s Emperor Pills.
• The Venus Tower Master identified the Rotten Ball Emperor’s true body and wounded it, but a highest-level alert signaled that Starfall City was under attack.
• The Mysterious Emperor Evil Cultivator questioned whether the Flame Emperor was still alive, prompting the Blood Spider Emperor and Rotten Ball Emperor to flee and the Guardians to doubt the Glazed Empress.
• Mo Yan wielded a powerful black Bone Club, broke through the Four Great Guardians’ siege, and began suppressing them with his true strength.

Lin Yi refused to abandon the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm Entrance to reinforce Starfall City, judging the attack might be a diversion. As the Meteorite Array strengthened against the Mecha Spirit Boat fleet, the Mercury Tower Master recognized the fleet’s technology and suspected it was connected to warships stolen after an ancient war.

• Lin Yi received urgent messages reporting an unidentified fleet outside Starfall City but decided to remain at the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm Entrance with his forces.
• The Mercury Tower Master strengthened the Meteorite Array as hundreds of Mecha Spirit Boats aimed their cannons at Starfall City.
• The Mercury Tower Master told the Mars Tower Master that Mecha People had once invaded the Source Realm in an exceptionally costly war.
• The Mercury Tower Master revealed that captured Mecha Spirit Boats had vanished under guard after the war and suspected the current fleet was built by the force that stole them.
• The Mercury Tower Master warned that the fleet’s combination of Mecha technology and Source Realm formations suggested its hidden masters had great ambitions.

The Mecha Spirit Boats bombarded Starfall City’s Meteorite Array while the Mercury Tower Master suspected the attack was a diversion aimed at the Ancient Meteorite. The Mars Tower Master returned to the Star Brilliance Tower and found Jupiter with a mysterious expert, who subdued her and began stripping away her Tower Master authority.

• Thousands of Mecha Spirit Boats fired successive volleys at the Meteorite Array, but its starlight barrier withstood the bombardment.
• The Mercury Tower Master ordered the Mars Tower Master to gather the city’s defenders around the Myriad Heavens Spirit Gathering Plate and warned her to guard the Star Brilliance Tower against Jupiter.
• The Mars Tower Master teleported to the Star Brilliance Tower after the Mercury Tower Master voiced his suspicions about Jupiter.
• The cannonfire stopped after the fleet analyzed the formation and identified its energy core as the Starfall Origin, then transmitted a message and awaited instructions.
• The Mars Tower Master found Jupiter beside a mysterious black-robed expert, who pinned her down and silenced her while Jupiter asked him to spare her.
• The Mars Tower Master tried to send a warning but found her token unresponsive and felt her Tower Master authority being stripped away, leading her to suspect the expert was one of the nine Star Brilliance Envoys.

Mars Tower Master's authority was stripped away, disrupting the Meteorite Array and allowing the Mecha Spirit Boats to breach Starfall City. As the defenders struggled against the invading Mecha People, the black-robed man confronted Flame Emperor's backup avatar beneath Starfall Tower, and Glazed Empress turned back toward the city after Mercury Tower Master pleaded for help.

• Mercury Tower Master sensed Mars Tower Master's aura vanish, and the resulting Ancient Meteorite disturbance weakened the Meteorite Array long enough for a concentrated barrage from a thousand Mecha Spirit Boats to break through the Outer City corner.
• Mercury Tower Master ordered the defenders to hold the breach, where Li Xuanba, Gu Hanshuang, Zhu Hao, Cang Xuance, and the Star Brilliance forces fought waves of intelligent, durable Mecha People.
• The black-robed man found Flame Emperor's Emperor Fire Avatar before the Ancient Meteorite, and the avatar attacked him with peak Emperor Realm power.
• The black-robed man's clash with the Emperor Fire Avatar destabilized the Ancient Meteorite's energy, further weakening the Meteorite Array as Mecha People continued entering the city.
• Mercury Tower Master asked Liuli for help, and Glazed Empress told Venus Tower Master she was returning to Starfall City while leaving the remaining Mysterious Emperor Evil Cultivator to be captured if possible or allowed to escape.

The Myriad Emperor Alliance arrived to protect the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm after the Mysterious Emperor Evil Cultivator fled and the Venus Tower Master abandoned his pursuit of the Rotten Ball Emperor. Lin Yi stood up to the Alliance’s Elder Xu and warned Di Xian, who revealed that he had ordered the test and proposed that they cooperate.

• Di Xian ordered the Myriad Emperor Alliance fleet to support Star Brilliance Tower and protect the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm entrance.
• The Mysterious Emperor Evil Cultivator fled when the Myriad Alliance Ship approached, while the Venus Tower Master stopped chasing the Rotten Ball Emperor and returned to the entrance.
• Lin Yi warned the arriving Alliance ship to keep its distance from the fragile secret realm formations, but Elder Xu rebuked him and pressured him with a secret art.
• The White Tiger Captain soldiers rallied behind Lin Yi as the Four Directions Guardians watched the confrontation.
• Di Xian ordered Elder Xu to apologize to Lin Yi and agreed to halt the ship, while Lin Yi warned the Alliance to respect Starfall City's defense zone.
• Di Xian admitted that he had secretly ordered Elder Xu to test Lin Yi and said the Alliance had come to help protect the secret realm.

Lin Yi and the Venus Tower Master agreed to let the Myriad Emperor Alliance help guard the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm while the Four Directions Guardians discovered Starfall City was under attack and the Glazed Empress was injured inside the Star Brilliance Tower. There, a mysterious peak Emperor Realm man confronted the Flame Emperor, who had appeared to protect his disciple.

• Di Xian and the Venus Tower Master arranged for the Star Brilliance Tower and the Myriad Emperor Alliance to share defenses around the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm Entrance.
• The Glazed Empress told Lin Yi to follow Taiyi City's arrangements, then cut off contact after warning him not to meddle in upper-rank affairs.
• The Four Directions Guardians used the Emperor Mirror to see Mecha Persons overrunning Starfall City's Outer City and could not find the Mars Tower Master.
• The Emperor Mirror revealed the bloodied Glazed Empress inside the Star Brilliance Tower before she blocked the image, prompting the Guardians to argue over whether to return to the city.
• In the ruined main hall, the wounded Glazed Empress faced a mysterious black-robed man and the Jupiter Tower Master as the Flame Emperor appeared in a full Emperor Fire form.
• The black-robed man addressed the Flame Emperor and remarked that the Glazed Empress mattered greatly to him.

The Flame Emperor negotiated with the black-robed man while keeping his identity secret from the Glazed Empress, then sent his incarnation to destroy the Mecha People attacking Starfall City. The Glazed Empress learned that Lin Yi had found the Chaos Source Crystal, while the Flame Emperor’s actions left the city’s defenders stunned by the gap in their power.

• The black-robed man urged the Flame Emperor to join the Restore Heaven organization, and the Flame Emperor sent the Glazed Empress and Jupiter away before discussing the terms.
• The Glazed Empress confronted Jupiter, who revealed that Restore Heaven, the Mecha People, and Dark Mist City had joined forces to probe Starfall City and that Mars was unharmed.
• The Flame Emperor explained that his body was only a temporary incarnation, gave the Divine Hammer to the Glazed Empress for Lin Yi, and revealed that Lin Yi had found the Chaos Source Crystal.
• The Flame Emperor left to reinforce Starfall City and used Emperor Fire and the Profound Heaven Artifact Stele to destroy the invading Mecha People and their fleet.
• The Eastern Guardian and the others watched the battle through the Emperor Mirror and marveled at the Flame Emperor’s strength.

After the Flame Emperor defeated the Mecha People, the Glazed Empress asked Lin Yi to help uncover which Star Brilliance Envoy had betrayed Starfall City. Lin Yi agreed in exchange for Chaos Particles, and she gave him a recording of the traitor’s fighting methods to investigate.

• The Four Directions Guardians returned to Starfall City to help repair the Meteorite Array, while the Venus Tower Master and White Tiger Captains guarded the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm Entrance.
• The Glazed Empress privately told Lin Yi that one of the Ten Star Brilliance Envoys had colluded with the Futian Organization and Dark Mist City, despite the Flame Emperor’s warning not to investigate.
• The Glazed Empress asked Lin Yi to contact his master, the Time Master, for clues about the traitor, and Lin Yi agreed to help.
• Lin Yi negotiated for Chaos Particles from Star Brilliance Tower’s treasury in exchange for investigating the traitor, and the Glazed Empress accepted on the condition that he report any clues.
• The Glazed Empress showed Lin Yi a recording of the black-robed man overpowering her with a black hole barrier and explained the vast strength of peak Emperor Realm cultivators.
• Lin Yi asked for a copy of the recording so he could investigate the black-robed man’s identity.

Lin Yi learned that Emperor Ling Gan was a possible suspect in the attack on the Source Realm and shared the clue with the Glazed Empress. He received the promised Chaos Particles and left with a debt to repay, while a damaged Machine Realm device detected his presence and sent a signal.

• Lin Yi's Great Elder senior brother identified Emperor Ling Gan as a possible black-robed attacker based on his history with the Flame Emperor and his similar fighting style, but warned that the evidence was uncertain.
• Lin Yi learned that Emperor Ling Gan had once guided the Seventh Branch's Vein Master, though his senior brother cautioned him not to involve himself in the conflict between peak Emperor Realm experts.
• Lin Yi visited the Outer City ruins, confirmed that his disciple Li Qing had not taken part in the battle, and headed for the Star Brilliance Tower.
• A damaged Machine Realm core device detected Lin Yi's aura and transmitted information despite being unable to trace his coordinates.
• The Glazed Empress brought Lin Yi into her inner world, where he reported the suspicion against Emperor Ling Gan and received one hundred Chaos Particles, worth two hundred million Void Crystal Coins, which he promised to repay in resources.
