• The Five-Colored Dao Platform sent out divine light that dragged Xuanyuan Wuji back just as half his body had crossed the exit.
• Chen Zheng said Xuanyuan Wuji was a special humanoid key and that the Five-Colored Dao Platform was a key too, so Xuanyuan Wuji summoned a divine sword and stabbed toward his own brow.

Chen Zheng resurrected Xuanyuan Wuji by revealing that the Five-Colored Dao Platform kept him alive, then explained the platform's power and questioned the Emotion Emperor about the Hongtian Divine Realm cataclysm.

• The assembled lineages found a powerful figure claiming to be the Immortal Domain Supreme, but the Heaven-Gazing Beast suspected the figure was a woman.
• Chen Zheng called the figure a demoness, and she entered the Boundless Abyss after he warned her not to covet his treasure.

The black-robed man revealed that Tai Mo had brought a cataclysm to the Boundless Abyss to blast open the ancient ruins of the Xianhong Holy Dynasty. Chen Zheng's casually erected barrier withstood the crimson torrent, leaving the black-robed man stunned.

Chen Zheng and the others reached the Xianhong Holy Dynasty ruins, where the Calamity Torrent revealed the gate to the Divine Lord's Secret Realm but failed to open it. The Heaven-Gazing Beast urged everyone to let Chen Zheng try.

• The Calamity Torrent shattered the divine-light barrier, while Chen Zheng's barrier remained untouched, and Tai Mo's disciple led Jiu Yi and Yin Tulong into the Boundless Abyss.
• Chen Zheng and the others found the Xianhong Holy Dynasty ruins, where the Fake Immortal Domain Supreme appeared with the sleeping Xianhong Holy Spirit, Tianhong Goddess, and a prince.

• The Calamity Torrent struck the nothingness three times and revealed the gate to the Divine Lord's Secret Realm, but neither its attacks nor the three inheritance divine steles opened it.
• After the Calamity Torrent weakened and failed to open the gate, the Heaven-Gazing Beast called for everyone to let Chen Zheng try.

Chen Zheng opened the Divine Gate with the Five-Colored Dao Platform, despite God Emperor Hongjue's claim that only a Half-Step Transcendence being or his clan's blood descendant could do so. As others rushed inside, Chen Zheng asked the remaining orthodoxies whether they had prepared their magical treasures.

Chen Zheng and his companions entered the divine gate and found the Great Samsara Dao Alliance cultivators fighting over treasures that were actually traps. God Emperor Hongjue revealed that the gate held his clan progenitor’s tomb and sought to awaken him, but Tai Mo and the Master of Calamity appeared before Chen Zheng responded.

• Chen Zheng revived the Xianhong Holy Spirit, the Tianhong Goddess, and the Xianhong Holy Dynasty’s half-human, half-dragon prince, who greeted him as Ancestor Chen.
• Chen Zheng led his companions through the divine gate, where the Great Samsara Dao Alliance cultivators fought over treasures while the Fake Immortal Domain Supreme watched.

• Tai Mo and the Master of Calamity arrived, and Shao Ye and the crimson dragon bowed to their respective masters.

God Emperor Hongjue resurrected his clan’s progenitor, a powerful man wielding an axe that resembled the legendary Heaven-Opening Axe. Chen Zheng faced the progenitor, Tai Mo, and the Master of Calamity with confidence, and the Master of Calamity finally turned his attention to him.

• Tai Mo and the Master of Calamity appeared, while Shao Ye taunted God Emperor Hongjue and his allies.
• Tai Mo demanded that God Emperor Hongjue awaken his progenitor, and the Master of Calamity focused on the stone pot.

After they fled into chaotic spacetime, Chen Zheng empowered the Great Dao Lord Dao Platform with his true blood and destroyed them with its beam.

• Hong Nu revealed that Tai Mo was a slave like him, and Tai Mo did not deny it when Shao Ye begged him to explain.
• Chen Zheng said Tai Mo, the Calamity Daoist, and Hong Nu had impure cultivation and could not truly remain at the Half-Step Transcendence level.

After God Emperor Hongjue died when his Dao heart shattered, Chen Zheng summoned the Ninth Tribulation Lord, the Azure Tribulation Lord, and prepared to use the treasures everyone had offered.

• Chen Zheng’s divine blood devoured Tai Mo, Calamity Daoist, and Hong Nu, and the stone egg swallowed the blood-colored pillar and gained hundreds of Overlord Divine Runes.

• God Emperor Hongjue accused Chen Zheng of sharing Hong Nu’s bloodline, but Chen Zheng explained that Hong Nu had carried the blood of his first life, and Hongjue died when his Dao heart broke.
• The Fake Immortal Domain Supreme, whom Chen Zheng called Temptress Chu, teased him and refused to reveal her face.
• Chen Zheng asked everyone to bring out their treasures, then summoned A Jiu, whom the Fake Immortal Domain Supreme identified as the Ninth Tribulation Lord and the Azure Tribulation Lord.

Chen Zheng used A Jiu’s hair to upgrade the treasures of Taisu Sacred Mountain’s lineages, but the Great Dao Lord Dao Platform cracked after exhausting its power. He explained that his body had grown far stronger than his magical power, leaving him unable to restore his strength with Origin True Blood, while the fake Immortal Domain Supreme warned that the Primordial Chaos Tribulation Lord had trapped him within the Primordial Chaos Universe.

• Chen Zheng used A Jiu’s hair to raise the grades of the gathered treasures, turning many immortal artifacts into Dao Artifacts and Dao Artifacts into supreme treasures.
• The Great Dao Lord Dao Platform cracked, and Chen Zheng said it had exhausted its power but would repair itself over time.
• Yu Huashen asked whether Origin True Blood could restore Chen Zheng’s magical power, and Chen Zheng said his unusual condition made it unsuitable.
• Chen Zheng explained that his physical body had expanded to the size of two Primordial Chaos Universes and continued growing, making his magical power insufficient to match it.
• The fake Immortal Domain Supreme said the Primordial Chaos Tribulation Lord had schemed against Chen Zheng and imprisoned him in the Primordial Chaos Universe, limiting his path to restoration and transcendence.

The fake Immortal Domain Supreme revealed herself as Chu Yaoyao and urged Chen Zheng to ally with the Reincarnation Lineage against the Primordial Chaos Tribulation Lord. Chen Zheng declined, left for the Immortal Luo Tian Realm, and the others returned to Taisu Sacred Mountain or remained in the Ancient God Realm awaiting the coming battle.

• Chu Yaoyao offered to help Chen Zheng borrow power from beyond the universe through the Reincarnation Lineage, but Chen Zheng said he was not interested.
• Chu Yaoyao removed her disguise, revealed her enchanting true appearance, and pressed Chen Zheng to cooperate with her master, the imprisoned Reincarnation Fate Lord.
• Chen Zheng told Chu Yaoyao that Jiu Yi's bloodline might help rescue her master, but she doubted him.

• Emotion Emperor stayed in the Ancient God Realm to await the battle between Chen Zheng and the Immortal Domain Supreme.

Chen Zheng explained that his body was undergoing dangerous, uncontrollable fission after he broke its Dao Ancestor shackles, alarming the Future Lord of Tribulation and the Trans-Spacetime Wheel's Artifact Spirit. At the Immortal Luo Tian Realm’s border, Xu Luoye’s men tried to claim Chen Zheng as a slave, but one attacker exploded into blood when he grabbed him.

• The Future Lord of Tribulation sensed Chen Zheng’s changing body and pulled Dugu Qian and the Heaven-Gazing Beast into his primordial spirit to cultivate.
• Chen Zheng explained that his body’s fission amplified attacks against him and could eventually trigger cosmic Big Bangs; the Future Lord of Tribulation urged him to find a way to fix it and severed their connection.
• Immortal guards at the city gate stopped Chen Zheng, calling him a mortal from the Ancient God Realm who lacked an identity token.

• Chen Zheng warned the old man not to attack him, but the man grabbed at him and exploded into a mist of blood.

Chen Zheng joined the An Family after revealing that attacks against him mysteriously destroyed their attackers, and he identified the An Family’s bloodline and a little girl’s stolen Heavenly Emperor Destiny. As An Xiaoyue explained the Immortal Luo Tian Realm’s hierarchy, she began describing the An Family’s lost status and powerful ancestors.

• Chen Zheng accepted An Xiaoyue’s invitation to become an An Family guest elder, while the Xu Family’s young master vowed to take revenge and seize the An Family’s heavenly destiny.
• At the An Family estate, the patriarch’s people tried to remove Chen Zheng, but their Dao Lord-level Six-Eyed Beast exploded before it could touch him.
• Chen Zheng remarked on the An Family’s inherited bloodline and recognized that a little girl had once possessed a Heavenly Emperor Destiny that someone had forcibly taken.
• Chen Zheng asked An Xiaoyue to explain the Immortal Luo Tian Realm, and she described its thirteen heavens, the Heavenly Destiny Assessment, and the An Family’s former home in the tenth heaven.

Chen Zheng joined the An Family at Xuanji Immortal City’s Heavenly Destiny Assessment, where their status as a Heavenly Destiny Clan was at stake. After the Lu and Xu Families easily passed, the An Family prepared to take its turn under pressure from the Xu Family.

• Chen Zheng learned that the Immortal Domain Supreme had been in seclusion and said he would accompany the An Family to the assessment, imparting a secret art to them.

• Chen Zheng encouraged An Xin to try the assessment and warned Xu Luoye not to attack him, leaving the An Family about to take its turn.

The Xu Family forced the An Family to become its vassal after An Xiaoyue and An Xin were expelled from the Heavenly Destiny Assessment. When Chen Zheng tried to leave with the An Family, the city lord and Xu Family blocked their exit and revealed they had obtained an Immortal Soul Needle to break his defensive treasure.

• An Xiaoyue and An Xin stepped onto the immortal formation, but it transported them out without giving them immortal markings.
• Xu Luoye and the Xu Family patriarch declared that the An Family had failed the assessment and would become the Xu Family's vassal.
• The city lord confirmed the An Family's new status, while the Xu Family threatened to make An Xiaoyue its maid and Chen Zheng its servant.
• Chen Zheng told the An Family to leave, but the city lord raised a barrier and refused to let them go.
• The Xu Family patriarch revealed an Immortal Soul Needle and said the Xu Family wanted Chen Zheng to help someone with the same surname as him.

Chen Zheng survived the Xu Family patriarch’s attack, then destroyed the patriarch and the city lord when they attacked him. After Xu Luoye realized Chen Zheng’s power was triggered by attacks against him, Chen Zheng stepped onto the immortal formation, whose assault provoked an overwhelming force that erased the hall and everyone inside except the protected An Family members.

• The Xu Family patriarch attacked Chen Zheng with the Immortal Soul Needle, which shattered against his brow, and the patriarch exploded into a mist of blood.
• Chen Zheng challenged Xu Luoye and the city lord, then protected An Xiaoyue and the other An Family members with immortal light.
• The city lord attacked Chen Zheng with an immortal art and was killed by a surge of the Great Dao of Destruction.
• Xu Luoye deduced that Chen Zheng’s power struck back when others attacked him and urged everyone to retreat.
• Chen Zheng stepped onto the immortal formation, whose power triggered a greater force that erased the Heavenly Destiny Immortal Hall and everything inside except the protected An Family members.
• Living beings throughout Xuanji Immortal City stared toward the vanished hall, city lord, Xu Family, and Lu Family.

Chen Zheng stood unharmed in the ruins of the Heavenly Destiny Immortal Hall, then shattered Dao Ancestor Wan Heyi when he challenged him. Chen Zheng took a crystal from Wan Heyi and learned that the Cosmic Cantilever identified it as the Ultimate Dao-Devouring Stone, while its effect on his body suggested his body surpassed the level the artifact spirit had estimated.

• The An family and Xuanji Immortal City’s residents saw Chen Zheng standing unharmed where the Heavenly Destiny Immortal Hall had been destroyed.
• Dao Ancestor Wan Heyi appeared and demanded that the An family patriarch explain what had happened.
• Wan Heyi’s heavenly might could not pass through the barrier around the An family, and his body shattered when he turned his pressure toward Chen Zheng.
• Chen Zheng reached into Wan Heyi’s cracked primordial spirit and took a crystal that slowed the fission inside his body.
• The Cosmic Cantilever identified the crystal as a Decay Body, also called the Ultimate Dao-Devouring Stone, and its artifact spirit wondered whether Chen Zheng’s body exceeded a Creator’s.

Chen Zheng used the Decay Body to slow his body's fission and spared Wan Heyi, then faced an Immortal Lord who came to investigate Xuanji Immortal City's destruction. When Lengyu attacked him, Chen Zheng killed him effortlessly.

• Chen Zheng explained that the crystalline jade pendant containing the Decay Body had slowed his body's fission, though he still needed more pieces to recover his magical power.
• Chen Zheng healed Wan Heyi, explaining that the crystalline jade pendant and Wan Heyi's secret art had saved his life.
• Immortal Lord Lengyu arrived from the Second Heaven and questioned Wan Heyi about City Lord Yan Lubo and the destroyed Heavenly Destiny Immortal Hall.
• Wan Heyi falsely claimed that Yan Lubo's attempt to seize the immortal bell's power had destroyed the hall, and Lengyu struck him nearly to death.
• Chen Zheng admitted that he had killed Yan Lubo and destroyed the hall and its immortal formation, then challenged Lengyu to attack.
• Lengyu's immortal light failed to harm Chen Zheng, and Lengyu exploded into blood mist as his Dao Tower collapsed.

Chen Zheng killed Immortal Lord Lengyu and learned that Wan Heyi’s sect legacy items held dangers that only an Epoch Hegemon could trigger. Wan Heyi urged the group to flee toward Daluo Golden City, while An Xin’s remark about her family’s connection to Heavenly Emperor Jing led the An Family to suspect Chen Zheng knew their secret.

• Chen Zheng, the An Family, and Wan Heyi withdrew to Wan Heyi’s cultivation ground after Chen Zheng killed Immortal Lord Lengyu.
• Wan Heyi explained that he had lied to Immortal Lord Lengyu because he knew Chen Zheng was dangerous, and Chen Zheng said the crystal pendant’s hidden threat would likely activate only at the Epoch Hegemon level.
• Wan Heyi warned that Immortal King Yitian’s forces might investigate the deaths and offered to take Chen Zheng to Daluo Golden City, where his junior sister kept another sect legacy item.
• Wan Heyi told the group that Demon Emperor Dijun had risen from Quasi-Sage to Epoch Hegemon in less than a year, and the An Family discussed his extraordinary heavenly mandate.
• An Xin proposed changing her name to An Jing because her clan was related to Heavenly Emperor Jing, and Chen Zheng said someone was already called An Jing, prompting the An Family to suspect he knew their secret.
