Chapter Summaries

Chen Zheng sat on the Taisu Divine Throne and revealed that the stone egg contained Taisu Heaven, whose past visions showed a mysterious woman crushing her at her peak.

• The Third Azure Emperor asked Chen Zheng which move he had gotten wrong, and Chen Zheng summoned the stone egg.
• Taisu Heaven spoke from the egg, and the Taisu Divine Throne sent its white light into it as visions of her past appeared.
• The visions showed that Taisu Heaven had once reached Half-Step Transcendence, before a mysterious woman’s hand crushed her.
• Chen Zheng explained that the woman had taken Taisu Heaven away and remade her inside a universe, giving her fate beyond her former Heaven fate.
• The Third Azure Emperor asked Chen Zheng to identify the mysterious woman.

Chen Zheng questioned Daoist Tianwu, who revealed that his master had ordered him to judge Taisu’s rebirth and erase her if she did not reach Half-Step Transcendence. When Daoist Tianwu tried to expel Chen Zheng for protecting Taisu, everyone watched to see how Chen Zheng would respond.

• Chen Zheng called for Daoist Tianwu, who appeared at Taisu Heaven Lake and revealed that the woman who had crushed Taisu was his master.
• Daoist Tianwu said he guarded Taisu Heaven Lake to await Taisu’s rebirth and would erase her if she failed to reach Half-Step Transcendence upon emerging from the cosmic egg.

• Daoist Tianwu uttered “Expel!” and unleashed a force that seemed to blast Chen Zheng out of the realm.

• Dugu Qian, Fairy Qin, and the others realized Chen Zheng had treated Daoist Tianwu as a tool to unlock his power.

• Yin Hongtu tried to flee with the Turbid World Dao Palace cultivators, but Chen Zheng used the Taisu Heaven Lake’s power to destroy them and then crushed Yin Hongtu’s primordial spirit, collecting his Epoch Ring fragments for the stone egg.
• The Third Azure Emperor realized Chen Zheng had borrowed power through the Taisu Divine Throne, while Chen Zheng taunted Daoist Tianwu and urged him to attack.

• Daoist Tianwu compromised and told Chen Zheng to take Taisu, returning after she was born for an assessment; Chen Zheng replied that he could protect her regardless.
• Daoist Tianwu sent a powerful strike at Chen Zheng, but it shattered Chen Zheng’s Half-Step Dao Ancestor shackles, and Chen Zheng laughed and asked him to strike a few dozen more times.

Chen Zheng admitted that the cracked Taisu Divine Throne had been his only means of borrowing power to suppress the Third Azure Emperor, then revealed that Origin True Blood could restore his magical power. Before leaving with Qin Huan, he gave the others the Great Samsara Network, while Daoist Tianwu wondered about Chen Zheng’s Nothingness and his vanished master.

• Chen Zheng called to Daoist Tianwu for more secret arts, but Tianwu gave no response, and the Third Azure Emperor left with Dugu Changsheng and the Azure Dragon God Guard to seek greater power.

• A water net trapped the divine vessel, and Qin Huan’s Ancient Goddess Token flew from her as a voice declared her stripped of her status and ordered her cultivation abolished.
• The lead female guard appeared with the Ancient Goddess Token and coldly asked Qin Huan whether she admitted her guilt.

Chen Zheng confronted Lady Xuan Ji after she suppressed Qin Huan and the Taisu Remnant Clan with her water-curtain technique. He restored Qin Huan’s cultivation and Ancient Goddess Token, then effortlessly shattered Lady Xuan Ji’s attacks and repeatedly slapped her, leaving the marsh’s inhabitants stunned.

• The female guard commander defended Qin Huan’s punishment as the water curtain forced most of the Taisu Remnant Clan to their knees, while Chen Zheng remained unaffected.

• The Water Marsh Remnant Clan warned that the entity could not be controlled and might destroy the Marsh as several puppets emerged carrying something.

Lady Xuan Ji summoned a stone mountain that drew a terrifying lightning tribulation over Marsh, but Chen Zheng walked through the lightning and sat on the stone throne revealed inside it. The chapter leaves the tribulation raging around him as the clan watches in shock.

• Lady Xuan Ji brought out a jade-white stone mountain, sending Marsh and its laws into chaos as a Primordial Lightning Tribulation gathered overhead.
• The mountain split open under the divine lightning, revealing a stone throne and no living being inside.
• Lady Xuan Ji declared that she intended to destroy the Taisu Remnant Clan along with Chen Zheng, while Qin Huan and other clan members recognized the throne as a possible source of hope.
• Chen Zheng ignored Lady Xuan Ji’s threats and walked through the lightning toward the throne.
• Chen Zheng sat on the stone throne, and the thunderclouds overhead erupted into a vast net of lightning.

Chen Zheng sat on the stone throne and casually erased the world-destroying lightning tribulation, terrifying Xuan Ji and the Taisu Remnant Clan. Xuan Ji summoned the Divine Master, who trapped them in his self-made world, but Chen Zheng expanded with the throne until he towered over him.

• Chen Zheng dismissed the descending lightning net as weak, and it shattered without a trace.

• Xuan Ji’s Dao heart broke in terror, and Chen Zheng shattered her primordial spirit as well.
• Chen Zheng collected the Epoch Ring fragments from Wuji and Xuan Ji and fed them to a stone egg, shocking the remnant clan members.

Chen Zheng freed the Taisu Remnant Clan, explained the divine tree and the fate of Taisu Heaven, and discovered a Reincarnation Tree seed hidden in a shuttle. The clan agreed to follow him and asked to investigate the Great Samsara Dao Alliance, while Chen Zheng revealed the Taiyi Divine Throne could only withstand three more uses.

• Chen Zheng said the Taiyi Divine Throne could suppress three more Ten-Ring Overlords before it shattered under the strain of his power.

Chen Zheng led the Taisu lineages toward the Northern God Ancient Wasteland, where they found the other four sacred mountains’ cultivators turned into living-dead puppets. After Chen Zheng destroyed the Heavenly Puppet Power attacking them, the Heaven-Gazing Beast wondered why the enemy had not targeted the Immortal Domain Supreme.

• Chen Zheng sent most of the Taisu Remnant Clan into the world inside the Dao Diagram and ordered Qin Huan to steer the divine ship toward Liuli Divine Temple.
• At Pure Heaven Valley, the leaders discussed the Great Samsara Dao Alliance, missing figures, and the returned ruins of the Xianhong Holy Dynasty before agreeing to enter the Northern God Ancient Wasteland under Chen Zheng’s lead.
• Near the wasteland, Chen Zheng and the Taisu lineages encountered puppets from the Two Aspects Heaven Sect, Primordial Fire Divine Temple, Yuanshi Dao Gate, and Desireless Immortal Gate.
• Lan Qihuang tried to destroy the approaching puppets, but they exploded and released Heavenly Puppet Power that threatened to infest the Taisu cultivators.
• Chen Zheng made the shadowy Heavenly Puppet Power visible and shattered it, and the Heaven-Gazing Beast questioned why the enemy had not targeted the Immortal Domain Supreme.

Chen Zheng led the Taisu Sacred Mountain lineages to the Northern God Ancient Wasteland, where living-dead Epoch Hegemons demanded their submission. He left the protective barrier and destroyed three powerful masters with a single slap, leaving the other guards stunned.

• Chen Zheng shielded the major lineages' ships with a barrier formed from the Great Dao of Life and led them to the blackwater river before the Northern God Ancient Wasteland.
• The Origin-Creating Sect Master, the Li Temple Master, and the Origin Temple Master blocked the way and demanded that Taisu Sacred Mountain submit or die.
• The Origin Temple Master boasted of his strength and mocked Chen Zheng, while the three masters claimed Mu Yun had become a Son of Reincarnation.
• Chen Zheng called the three masters weeds, stepped outside the barrier, and destroyed their bodies and primordial spirits with a casual slap.
• The other guards stared in shock as fragments of the three masters' Epoch Rings fell from the sky.

Chen Zheng entered the Northern God Ancient Wasteland after effortlessly killing the Origin-Creating Sect Master and other Epoch Hegemons, while his stone egg devoured their Epoch Ring fragments. Inside the wasteland, he challenged its hidden forces to send Seven-Ring Epoch Hegemons, and his followers rallied behind him as they waited for a greater battle.

• Chen Zheng killed the Origin-Creating Sect Master and the other powerful cultivators with a single palm, then fed their Epoch Ring fragments to the stone egg.

• Chen Zheng slaughtered another group of Epoch Hegemons with one slap, while the stone egg devoured their fragments.
• The Heaven-Gazing Beast shouted, "Ancestor Chen is here! Who will face him?!" and the followers joined in.

Chen Zheng tested his true blood against Eight Gods Daoist, whose eight linked primordial spirits could resist attacks below the level of a nine-ring overlord. Eight Gods Daoist crushed the blood and was killed by its explosion, while Chen Zheng warned the Ancient Wasteland’s hidden creatures not to make the same mistake.

• Eight Gods Daoist appeared in the Northern God Ancient Wasteland and boasted that his eight primordial spirits could survive any attack below a nine-ring overlord’s level.
• Chen Zheng acknowledged that his ordinary slap could not kill Eight Gods Daoist and offered him a drop of true blood to absorb.
• Eight Gods Daoist dismissed Chen Zheng’s offer, seized the true blood, and crushed it in his hand.
• The true blood exploded and swallowed Eight Gods Daoist’s fleeing primordial spirits, killing him and leaving only shattered epoch rings.
• The stone egg devoured the shattered rings, and Chen Zheng told the hidden creatures that the true blood could kill those who dared to crush it themselves.

Chen Zheng’s true blood had killed Lord Eight Gods, but the Ancient Wasteland’s creatures believed they could counter that trick and sent out nine Sons of Reincarnation to trap him. Their Great Samsara Ancient Array vanished when it touched Chen Zheng, whose Half-Step Transcendence physical body left him unharmed.

• The Ancient Wasteland’s creatures realized Lord Eight Gods had been tricked into crushing Chen Zheng’s explosive true blood and warned that the other lords would avoid the same mistake.
• Chen Zheng taunted the hidden powerhouses for not attacking, prompting nine Sons of Reincarnation—including Chenzhouzi, Mu Yun, and Lu Qiankun—to emerge.
• The nine Sons of Reincarnation activated the Great Samsara Ancient Array and sent its enormous phantom down to suppress Chen Zheng.
• The phantom vanished as soon as it reached Chen Zheng, and Lan Qihuang and the others remembered that Chen Zheng’s physical body had reached the Half-Step Transcendence level.
• The Taisu Sacred Mountain group and the Heaven-Gazing Beast realized the array posed no threat to Chen Zheng and relaxed.

Chen Zheng killed nine Sons of Reincarnation, then faced three Nine-Ring Overlords who tried to recruit him against another Ancient Wasteland faction. He refused, used the Heaven Divine Throne to kill them, and fed their Epoch Ring fragments to the stone egg, where a woman's phantom appeared.

• Chen Zheng casually slapped the nine Sons of Reincarnation into ash, and the stone egg devoured their Epoch Ring fragments.
• Three Nine-Ring Overlords—Tiankuizi, Fu Ding, and Night God—emerged and urged Chen Zheng to ally with them against another Ancient Wasteland faction.
• Chen Zheng considered killing the three, but they warned that the Great Samsara Dao Alliance had stronger Overlords and a hidden lord.
• Chen Zheng summoned the Heaven Divine Throne and crushed Fu Ding, Tiankuizi, and Night God's bodies and primordial spirits.
• The stone egg absorbed the three Overlords' Epoch Ring fragments, and a woman's phantom appeared within it.

Chen Zheng used the Heaven Divine Throne to kill Tiankuizi, Fu Ding, and Night God, but the throne shattered and the Great Samsara Dao Alliance believed he had exhausted his power. When Gai Shi Emotion Emperor confronted him, Chen Zheng revealed another divine throne and restored his overwhelming presence.

• Chen Zheng shattered a woman's phantom and killed the three Nine-Ring Overlords, Tiankuizi, Fu Ding, and Night God, with the Heaven Divine Throne's power.
• The Heaven Divine Throne cracked as Chen Zheng demanded that the Great Samsara Dao Alliance send out a Ten-Ring Overlord to nourish Taisu Heaven inside the stone egg.
• Gai Shi Emotion Emperor emerged from the ancient wasteland after the Heaven Divine Throne shattered, and the hidden creatures believed Chen Zheng could no longer threaten them.
• Emotion Emperor recognized that Chen Zheng had visited the Taisu Remnant Clan and suggested that he had lost his advantage without the throne.
• Chen Zheng summoned another divine throne, sat upon it, and regained control over everything between heaven and earth.

Chen Zheng revealed that he had copied the shattered Heaven Divine Throne with a treasure and confronted the Emotion Emperor, who summoned his master's power as a threat. The summoned avatar looked exactly like Chen Zheng, leaving the Emotion Emperor stunned and kneeling.

• Chen Zheng explained that his treasure had copied the shattered Heaven Divine Throne, and the beings in the Ancient Wasteland realized he had not deliberately lured out the Emotion Emperor.
• Chen Zheng said the copying ability had limits, then offered the Emotion Emperor a choice: surrender some Epoch Rings to Susu or capture a Ten-Ring Overlord to replace him.
• The Emotion Emperor warned that he could summon power left behind by his Half-Step Transcendence master and formed an ancient seal.
• The Emotion Emperor summoned an avatar of power and bowed to it, but it looked exactly like Chen Zheng.
