Chen Qingyu revealed the power of the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror and joined forces with Quasi-Emperor Xinghe to attack Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao and Quasi-Emperor Liuyue. The battle began with Xinghe trapping Tianmiao while Chen Qingyu blocked Liuyue.

• Chen Qingyu dispersed Quasi-Emperor Liuyue’s glazed light dragons with the great void might of the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror, startling the three quasi-emperors.
• Chen Qingyu proposed that he, Quasi-Emperor Xinghe, and Liuyue drive Tianmiao out, but Liuyue rejected the plan, suspecting she would be targeted next.
• Chen Qingyu secretly asked Xinghe to join him against the other two, and Xinghe agreed to trap Tianmiao while Chen Qingyu held off Liuyue.
• Quasi-Emperor Xinghe suddenly used the Star-Imprisoning Heavenly River Art to pull Tianmiao into a cage of stars and chains.
• Chen Qingyu’s great void might disrupted Liuyue’s Myriad Dragons Devour the Moon, and he crossed the battlefield to confront her.

Chen Qingyu used the Calamity of Myriad Nirvanas to turn Quasi-Emperor Liuyue’s vitality-devouring Dao art against her, then drained away part of her lifespan with his combined calamities. After escaping his attack, Quasi-Emperor Liuyue fled toward the three great suns rather than continue fighting.

• Quasi-Emperor Liuyue transformed her Dao art into Myriad Dragons Devour the Moon, which began draining Chen Qingyu’s vitality and the life force of nearby stars.
• Chen Qingyu used the Calamity of Myriad Nirvanas to feed the giant moon vitality, then manipulated the absorbed power to mutate Quasi-Emperor Liuyue’s body.

After defeating Quasi-Emperor Liuyue, Chen Qingyu rushed to help Quasi-Emperor Xinghe, who was being overwhelmed by Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao. Chen Qingyu and Xinghe joined forces against Tianmiao, and the chapter left off as Chen Qingyu activated both of his great calamities against him.

• Chen Qingyu reflected that his victory over Quasi-Emperor Liuyue had depended on fortunate counters and resolved to cultivate harder.

• Chen Qingyu activated the Calamity of Myriad Nirvanas and the Calamity of Decline together against Tianmiao.

Chen Qingyu and Quasi-Emperor Xinghe fought Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao in the Heavenly Star Lesser Realm, but Tianmiao’s particle-manipulating Dao arts proved overwhelming. Tianmiao killed Xinghe with a touch, leaving Chen Qingyu shaken and facing the terrifying foe alone.

• Chen Qingyu tried to drain Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao’s lifespan with his two calamity arts, but the attack had no effect, and Tianmiao punched him away.
• Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao formed enormous gray arms by compressing microscopic particles and used them to attack Chen Qingyu and Quasi-Emperor Xinghe.
• Chen Qingyu defended himself with Vajra Indestructibility and Great Void Might, while Xinghe raised the Star River Body Protection Art, but Tianmiao’s attacks overwhelmed them both.
• Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao transformed into microscopic particles, appeared beside Xinghe, and disintegrated him with Dissolution of All Things.
• Chen Qingyu steadied himself after being blasted away and realized that Tianmiao had easily killed a powerful eighth-heavenly-tier Quasi-Emperor.

Chen Qingyu escaped Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao’s attempt to crush and disintegrate him, then tested whether his Vajra Indestructibility could endure Tianmiao’s Dao Art. After confirming it could prevent an instant death, Chen Qingyu charged into battle, and the two prepared to clash directly.

• Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao trapped Chen Qingyu in a mountain of gray-white particles and reached for him, but Chen Qingyu escaped by combining three divine abilities.
• Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao questioned Chen Qingyu about his many Dao Arts, but Chen Qingyu refused to explain and considered abandoning the Heavenly Star Lesser Realm if necessary.
• Chen Qingyu sent six Vajra Indestructibility clones to attack Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao, who destroyed them with Dissolution of All Things.
• Chen Qingyu realized the clones’ Vajra Indestructibility had delayed Tianmiao’s Dao Art and prevented them from disintegrating completely, giving him hope he could withstand the attack.
• Chen Qingyu charged at Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao, who transformed into gray light and rushed to meet him.

Chen Qingyu endured Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao’s overwhelming attacks and fought to keep him occupied while waiting for the Kunyu Divine Throne’s final sign-in opportunity. After a day and night of battle, the sign-in location refreshed, giving Chen Qingyu a possible turning point.

• Chen Qingyu told Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao that he only intended to hold him there, but Tianmiao revealed that the Heavenly Star Lesser Realm’s supreme treasure was important to him and vowed to fight until he won.

• The system notified Chen Qingyu that the sign-in location [Kunyu Divine Throne] had refreshed.

Chen Qingyu gained Goumang's Ancestral Witch talent, which merged with his existing talents and awakened a fraction of Pangu's power. He turned the tide against Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao and prepared to retaliate.

• Chen Qingyu checked in at the Kunyu Divine Throne for the third time and received Goumang's Body, initially disappointed by the reward.
• Goumang's power merged with Chen Qingyu's Zhurong and Qiangliang talents, transforming his body and increasing his physical strength more than tenfold.

• Chen Qingyu beckoned Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao to attack again, then stopped his punch with one hand without budging.
• Chen Qingyu taunted Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao and vowed that it was now his turn to beat him.

After gaining overwhelming strength, Chen Qingyu relentlessly pummeled Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao until Tianmiao fled into the three great suns. The sea of stars then revealed the silvery-white Earth Star, and Chen Qingyu headed toward it to claim the realm’s opportunity.

• Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao begged to concede and leave, but Chen Qingyu refused to stop beating him.
• Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao dispersed into particles and escaped into the three great suns, beyond Chen Qingyu’s reach.
• The silvery-white Earth Star appeared after Tianmiao left, and Chen Qingyu flew toward it to seek the opportunity.

Chen Qingyu discovered that the Heavenly Star Lesser Realm’s reward was a Taihao Core, a rare fragment of Taihao Star with immense value for star-related cultivation. He swallowed it, and the power radiating from his Taihao Essence surged to three or four times its former strength.

• Chen Qingyu landed on the silvery-white Earth Star and found an altar made entirely of Taihao divine iron.
• Chen Qingyu picked up the heavy grayish-white stone on the altar and learned that it was a Taihao Core.
• Chen Qingyu recognized the core’s value and considered how it could accelerate his cultivation and aid Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao.
• Chen Qingyu swallowed the Taihao Core, and it joined with the Taihao Essence in his Divine Treasure.
• The Taihao Essence’s power surged to three or four times its former strength.

Chen Qingyu used the Taihao Core to cultivate and break through to the Void Penetration Realm, then received Great Emperor Hunyuan’s order for the Holy Protection Alliance’s Quasi-Emperors to leave the Kunyu Divine Throne. Outside, he reunited with Quasi-Emperor Shangdang, while Quasi-Emperor Canliu and the others remained unaccounted for.

• Chen Qingyu decided the Taihao Core made the Heavenly Star Lesser Realm safe enough for him to cultivate before competing for opportunities.
• After five days, Chen Qingyu broke through to the Void Penetration Realm and found that his Divine Treasure’s power had greatly increased.
• As Chen Qingyu headed toward the three suns to leave the lesser realm, Great Emperor Hunyuan ordered all mobile Quasi-Emperors of the Holy Protection Alliance to withdraw from the Kunyu Divine Throne.
• Chen Qingyu left the Heavenly Star Lesser Realm and emerged outside the Divine Throne among Quasi-Emperors from all five alliances.
• Chen Qingyu met Quasi-Emperor Shangdang, who said Quasi-Emperor Canliu and the others had split up to tackle secret realms and had not yet returned.

Chen Qingyu and the other Quasi-Emperors witnessed a battle between Emperor Venerables erupting over the Kunyu Continent, whose aftershocks devastated the land. After Great Emperor Hunyuan announced the battle was over, Chen returned to the Holy Protection Alliance’s base to seek news from Quasi-Emperor Qinghe.

• Quasi-Emperor Shangdang told Chen Qingyu that many Holy Protection Alliance Quasi-Emperors were still missing after Great Emperor Hunyuan ordered them to withdraw from the Kunyu Divine Throne.
• Terrifying presences swept across the continent, and Chen Qingyu and the Quasi-Emperors saw multiple Emperor Venerables fighting in the deep void.
• The battle’s aftershocks shattered mountains, triggered eruptions and tsunamis, and killed countless cultivators and ordinary people.
• After several hours, Great Emperor Hunyuan sent word that the fighting was over, and Chen Qingyu suspected the Holy Protection Alliance had gained little from the conflict.
• Chen Qingyu and Quasi-Emperor Shangdang returned to the alliance’s base, where Chen set out to question Quasi-Emperor Qinghe about the battle.

Chen Qingyu visited Quasi-Emperor Qinghe to learn why the Emperor Venerables had fought, and learned that a direct descendant of Great Emperor Kunyu had appeared. The five great alliances had placed her in joint custody after a brutal battle, and Chen Qingyu asked what would happen next.

• Chen Qingyu arrived at Qinghe Heavenly Palace and learned he was the seventh Quasi-Emperor to seek information from Quasi-Emperor Qinghe.
• Quasi-Emperor Qinghe told Chen Qingyu that a direct descendant of Great Emperor Kunyu had been discovered inside the Divine Throne, fought numerous Quasi-Emperors, and escaped.
• Quasi-Emperor Qinghe explained that seven Emperor Venerables had fallen in the battle over the descendant, including a patriarch of the Immeasurable Dao Sect from the Holy Protection Alliance.
• Quasi-Emperor Qinghe said Great Emperor Hunyuan had captured the descendant but handed her over to the five alliances for joint custody under pressure from the other four.
• Chen Qingyu asked Quasi-Emperor Qinghe what would happen next, since joint custody was not a long-term solution.

Chen Qingyu learned that the five great alliances would settle their dispute over Great Emperor Kunyu’s descendant by sending Quasi-Emperors to fight in an arena. After he told Quasi-Emperor Qinghe that Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao had killed Quasi-Emperor Xinghe, Emperor Venerable Qinglu appeared in Chen Qingyu’s residence and warned him to avoid the battle and the descendant.

• Quasi-Emperor Qinghe told Chen Qingyu that the five alliances would send three Quasi-Emperors each to the arena to determine how they would share the secrets and benefits of Great Emperor Kunyu’s descendant.

• Chen Qingyu left Quasi-Emperor Qinghe’s residence and chose not to visit Emperor Venerable Qinglu before returning to his heavenly palace.
• Emperor Venerable Qinglu met Chen Qingyu in his study and warned him not to compete for a battle slot or get involved with Great Emperor Kunyu’s descendant.

Emperor Venerable Qinglu warned Chen Qingyu that Great Emperor Kunyu’s descendant might be pursuing a hidden conspiracy, and he stayed out of the ensuing struggle. Over the next half year, Chen Qingyu grew powerful enough to rival most Peak Quasi-Emperors, then sensed the pull toward the Divine Throne strengthening again.

• Emperor Venerable Qinglu told Chen Qingyu that Kunyu’s descendant might have arranged her capture as part of a concealed scheme, and warned him to avoid getting involved.
• Chen Qingyu agreed to stay out of the contest over benefits, while Emperor Venerable Qinglu predicted that the alliances would act within six months to a year.
• One month later, fifteen Peak Quasi-Emperors from the five great alliances secretly competed under the Emperor Venerables’ watch, but the contest’s outcome remained undisclosed.
• Over the following months, Quasi-Emperors explored the Divine Throne, fought for opportunities, and suffered casualties as Chen Qingyu kept his attention on cultivation and exploration.
• Chen Qingyu traded most of his treasures for seven Star Soul Life-Creation Pills and, with the Taihao Core, advanced to the fifth heaven of the Void Penetration Realm.
• After building a fearsome reputation and reaching strength comparable to most Peak Quasi-Emperors, Chen Qingyu sensed that the pull had grown stronger again.

Chen Qingyu resisted the Void Universe Star Sea’s summons, saving its power as a life-saving escape, while Quasi-Emperor Qinghe summoned him with a grave concern about rising deaths among the alliances’ Quasi-Emperors. The chapter ended just as Qinghe began revealing the shocking results of his investigation.

• Chen Qingyu decided not to ascend to the Void Universe Star Sea, keeping its power in reserve because of his feud with the Supreme Star Palace and the dangers of the coming rescue of Emperor Venerable Baihua.
• Quasi-Emperor Qinghe summoned Chen Qingyu to Qinghe Heavenly Palace, where Chen found him exhausted and disheveled.
• Quasi-Emperor Qinghe explained that Great Emperor Kunyu's descendant had shared valuable information with the Emperor Venerables while making demanding requests that had burdened her custodians.
• Quasi-Emperor Qinghe told Chen Qingyu that Quasi-Emperors in the alliance had been dying at an abnormal rate during the early contest for the Divine Throne.
• Quasi-Emperor Qinghe said his compiled data had produced a shocking result, but had not yet revealed what it was.

Quasi-Emperor Qinghe told Chen Qingyu that more than a hundred Quasi-Emperors across the five major alliances had been killed in a planned hunt and asked him to join a joint investigation team. Chen Qingyu agreed to represent the Holy Protection Alliance for four Star Soul Life-Creation Pills and prepared to leave at once.

• Quasi-Emperor Qinghe reported that over twenty Holy Protection Alliance Quasi-Emperors and more than a hundred across the five alliances had fallen in six months.
• Quasi-Emperor Qinghe suspected a powerful mastermind or organization was hunting Quasi-Emperors and said the alliances had formed a joint investigation team.
• Quasi-Emperor Qinghe explained that the Holy Protection Alliance had few available peak Quasi-Emperors and asked Chen Qingyu to investigate on its behalf.
• Chen Qingyu demanded a Taihao Core, then negotiated with Quasi-Emperor Qinghe for four Star Soul Life-Creation Pills as payment.
• Quasi-Emperor Qinghe gave Chen Qingyu a jade slip containing information about the fallen Quasi-Emperors, and Chen Qingyu said he would set out immediately.

Chen Qingyu joined four other Quasi-Emperors outside the Kunyu Divine Throne, and they entered the Blue Sea Secret Realm to complete its challenge. Quasi-Emperor Yanyang killed the ancient Desolate Beast, clearing the realm so the group could continue.

• Chen Qingyu arrived outside the Kunyu Divine Throne and exchanged wary greetings with Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao, whom he had defeated before.
• Chen Qingyu and the four other Quasi-Emperors linked their Kunyu Command Talismans and entered the Blue Sea Secret Realm.
• The group learned they had to find and kill an ancient Desolate Beast within half a month.
• Quasi-Emperor Yanyang unleashed his solar power and vaporized most of the sea to expose the beast.
• Quasi-Emperor Yanyang seized and killed a giant octopus, then said the group could continue on their way.

Chen Qingyu and four Quasi-Emperors investigated the mysterious deaths of their peers, but failed attempts to enter old secret realms led them to Quasi-Emperor Dongyuan’s final location. Quasi-Emperor Zhuanlun found the death site, though the lack of battle damage left the group questioning how Dongyuan had died.

• Quasi-Emperor Yanyang and the others failed to enter more than a dozen cleared secret realms, so Chen Qingyu proposed going to the small world where Quasi-Emperor Dongyuan had died.
• The five Quasi-Emperors teleported to the Earth River Small World, where Dongyuan had fallen three days earlier.
• Quasi-Emperor Zhuanlun used his Law of Life and Death to locate Dongyuan’s death site and led the group to a desolate valley.
• Quasi-Emperor Yanyang and Quasi-Emperor Hongxiu questioned Zhuanlun because the valley showed no signs of a fierce battle.
• Quasi-Emperor Zhuanlun reaffirmed that Dongyuan had died there, despite sharing some of the others’ uncertainty.

Quasi-Emperor Zhuanlun betrayed the others while using his Dao art to question a projection of Quasi-Emperor Dongyuan, injuring Quasi-Emperor Yanyang and prompting a battle. As Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao and Quasi-Emperor Hongxiu joined Yanyang against him, Chen Qingyu sensed that something about Zhuanlun’s actions was wrong.

• Quasi-Emperor Zhuanlun linked the souls and divine senses of himself, Quasi-Emperor Yanyang, Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao, Quasi-Emperor Hongxiu, and Chen Qingyu to project Quasi-Emperor Dongyuan.
• Quasi-Emperor Zhuanlun struck the others through their linked souls, then attacked Quasi-Emperor Yanyang with his life-and-death Dao art.
• Quasi-Emperor Yanyang accused Quasi-Emperor Zhuanlun of killing Quasi-Emperor Dongyuan and the other missing Quasi-Emperors.
• Quasi-Emperor Yanyang attacked Zhuanlun, and Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao and Quasi-Emperor Hongxiu joined the fight.
• Quasi-Emperor Hongxiu weakened Zhuanlun with Red Dust Net while Tianmiao’s gray arms drove him back, and Chen Qingyu held back, suspecting something was wrong.

Chen Qingyu and four Quasi-Emperors were trapped in endless illusory dreams, where they fought what seemed to be Quasi-Emperor Zhuanlun. Outside the dreams, Huanmeng and a black-robed youth discussed killing the unconscious Peak Quasi-Emperors and worried about whether they could escape retaliation.

• Chen Qingyu halted the battle between Quasi-Emperor Zhuanlun and Quasi-Emperors Tianmiao, Hongxiu, and Yanyang after sensing that something was wrong.
• A mist revealed that Chen Qingyu was alone in an empty sky, and Quasi-Emperor Zhuanlun attacked him with Heavenly Waves of Total Extinction.
• Chen Qingyu fought Quasi-Emperor Zhuanlun, unsure whether his opponent was controlled or an illusion capable of killing him.
• Outside the dreams, Huanmeng and a black-robed youth watched Chen Qingyu and the four Quasi-Emperors lie unconscious on a desolate plain.
• Huanmeng explained that the endless illusory dreams would keep the Quasi-Emperors trapped unless their bodies were attacked, while the black-robed youth asked how close Huanmeng was to reaching the Ninth Heavenly Stair.

Black-robed youth Formless and his ally trapped five peak Quasi-Emperors in illusory dreams so Formless could devour their souls and ascend to the ninth heavenly stair. After devouring Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao and Quasi-Emperor Yanyang, they waited for the remaining victims to succumb.

• Formless told his ally that consuming all five trapped souls would let him reach the ninth heavenly stair, and revealed that an Emperor Venerable in the Red Sea Alliance supported his plan.
• Formless and his ally learned that Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao's soul-will had collapsed, then pulled out and devoured his soul.
• Formless considered killing the unconscious Chen Qingyu but decided to wait instead.
• After more than an hour, Formless and his ally found that Quasi-Emperor Yanyang had lost himself in the illusory dreams and dragged out his soul.
• Formless devoured Quasi-Emperor Yanyang's soul and urged his ally to continue waiting for the others.

Chen Qingyu fought Quasi-Emperor Zhuanlun for over six hours but could not overcome his life-and-death Dao art. After Quasi-Emperor Zhuanlun vanished and Quasi-Emperor Hongxiu appeared, Chen Qingyu discovered signs that they were trapped in intersecting illusions and resolved to find a flaw.

• Chen Qingyu repeatedly killed Quasi-Emperor Zhuanlun, but Zhuanlun revived each time through his Wheel of Life and Death.
• Quasi-Emperor Zhuanlun abruptly vanished, and Chen Qingyu found himself in a deep-blue sea as Quasi-Emperor Hongxiu charged at him.
• Chen Qingyu defeated Quasi-Emperor Hongxiu, broke her limbs and spine, and suppressed her with Omnidirectional Calamity.
• Chen Qingyu noticed flickering images in Quasi-Emperor Hongxiu's eyes and realized that each person might be experiencing a separate, intersecting illusion.
• Chen Qingyu concluded that he needed to find a contradiction with reality and break out of the illusion.

Chen Qingyu became an ordinary stone to escape the thought-manipulating force trapping him, while the two conspirators discussed their plan to consume the remaining Quasi-Emperor souls. When Chen Qingyu suddenly vanished from their senses and opened his eyes, the black-robed youth realized their scheme was in danger.

• Chen Qingyu found no flaw in the illusion and concluded that one enemy created it while another blocked the victims from noticing a clue.
• Chen Qingyu used Gestation and Transformation to become a thoughtless stone, gambling that no one would disrupt the transformation before he returned to himself.
• The black-robed youth celebrated devouring Quasi-Emperor Zhuanlun's soul and said he needed one more peak Quasi-Emperor soul to reach the ninth heavenly step.
• The handsome young man and the black-robed youth discussed the dead souls of Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao, Quasi-Emperor Yanyang, and Quasi-Emperor Zhuanlun, while Quasi-Emperor Hongxiu and Chen Qingyu remained alive.
• The black-robed youth warned his companion not to underestimate Chen Qingyu and urged him to break Quasi-Emperor Hongxiu's soul first.
• The handsome young man sensed Chen Qingyu had become a stone, and Chen Qingyu opened his eyes before the black-robed youth could act.

Chen Qingyu broke free of Quasi-Emperor Formless’s dream illusion and discovered that Quasi-Emperor Tianmiao, Quasi-Emperor Yanyang, and Quasi-Emperor Zhuanlun had been killed. With Quasi-Emperor Hongxiu at his side, he confronted Formless and Quasi-Emperor Huanmeng, then attacked Formless as their battle began.

• Chen Qingyu recognized that a power had prevented the group from noticing they received no information about the small world, and he broke free of the illusion.
• Chen Qingyu found Quasi-Emperor Hongxiu unconscious and the other three Quasi-Emperors dead, then awakened Hongxiu and explained what had happened.
• Quasi-Emperor Formless revealed that he had entered the Divine Throne from the start and that Quasi-Emperor Huanmeng was his ally.
• Chen Qingyu realized Formless had killed over a hundred Quasi-Emperors and devoured their divine souls to grow stronger, and vowed to stop him.
• Chen Qingyu’s punch passed through Formless, who vanished as black smoke and taunted Chen Qingyu for his weaknesses in mind and divine soul.

Chen Qingyu used the Calamity of Thunder and a soul-severing technique to resist Quasi-Emperor Formless, but Formless revealed that he had merged with Chen's mind and soul. Their battle remained unresolved as Formless taunted Chen over his lack of a way to defeat him.

• Quasi-Emperor Hongxiu fought defensively against Quasi-Emperor Huanmeng and tried to keep him from aiding the other battlefield.
• Chen Qingyu unleashed the Calamity of Thunder, damaging Quasi-Emperor Formless's formless heavenly demon body without destroying him.
• Chen Qingyu used Spirit Roaming and Qi Control to sever the thoughts Formless had planted in his soul, damaging them both before the Primordial Yang Indestructible Body restored them.
• Quasi-Emperor Formless revealed that he had merged with Chen Qingyu's mind and soul and claimed he would perish only if Chen's soul were destroyed.
• Chen Qingyu rejected Formless's taunt about killing himself, while Formless asked how he planned to defeat him next.
