Chapter Summaries

Lin Yu took Hao Yueshen to the Underworld to obtain the Three Lives Stone, where her touch caused it to unleash a pillar of light. The Underworld's experts withdrew at a commanding voice, and a mysterious figure appeared to address Lin Yu respectfully.

• Lin Yu persuaded Hao Yueshen to leave the Primordial Hall with him, while Xu Ziyue watched them go and concealed her feelings.
• Lin Yu brought Hao Yueshen unseen through the Underworld to Ghost Capital City, where they found the Three Lives Stone.
• Lin Yu placed Hao Yueshen's hand on the Three Lives Stone, which blazed and sent a pillar of light through the Underworld Immortal World.
• The Underworld's experts rushed toward Ghost Capital City but turned back after a commanding voice told them nothing had happened.
• A dark figure emerged from a black vortex and told Lin Yu that the Underworld would have given him the Three Lives Stone if he had asked.

Lin Yu, Hao Yueshen, and the black figure entered the Sea of Reincarnation, where Hao Yueshen’s bronze token summoned a bronze gate. Lin Yu destroyed the gate to stop it from dragging Hao Yueshen away, but its azure light pulled all three into a mysterious space.

• Lin Yu took Hao Yueshen and the black figure from Ghost Capital City to the black vortex leading to the Sea of Reincarnation.
• The three entered the Sea of Reincarnation, where ten black vortexes poured the dead into an ocean of souls.
• Hao Yueshen’s bronze token floated to the ocean’s center and summoned an enormous bronze gate.
• The gate’s pull began sweeping Hao Yueshen away, so Lin Yu stopped the sea and shattered the gate with his power.
• Azure light burst from the destroyed gate and dragged Lin Yu, Hao Yueshen, and the black figure into a space surrounded by twelve statues.

Lin Yu, Hao Yueshen, and the black figure faced the Sea Holy Emperor's Extermination Program, which turned countless undead into Progenitor Realm fighters. Lin Yu effortlessly destroyed them, leaving the black figure stunned by the power of his realm.

• The Sea Holy Emperor's Extermination Program summoned countless undead experts and launched an attack on Lin Yu and his companions.
• The black figure unleashed his full power and destroyed more than half the attackers, but the remaining undead merged into over a thousand Progenitor Realm experts.
• Overwhelmed by the transformed undead, the black figure called on Lin Yu for help.
• Lin Yu restrained the charging experts with a gesture and destroyed them with a clenched fist.
• Lin Yu summoned a cyan compass, whose needle triggered explosions that annihilated another thousand-odd undead, shocking the black figure.

Lin Yu, the black figure, and Hao Yueshen witnessed a vision of an ancient world far greater than the Three Thousand Immortal Worlds. Lin Yu realized they were seeing the Dao Awakening Era, though the vision left the other two overwhelmed.

• The black figure concluded that the undead Progenitor Realm experts in the Sea of Reincarnation were likely survivors of the Dao Awakening Era’s catastrophe, in which more than a thousand experts had fallen.
• The scenery shifted to a starry sky resembling the map above the Primordial Hall, where three suns and nine moons rose and the cries of supreme divine beasts echoed.
• Lin Yu recognized that the sky was not that of the present-day Three Thousand Immortal Worlds, as it transformed into hundreds of vast Dao Provinces.
• Lin Yu and the black figure sensed at least one Progenitor Realm expert in every Dao Province, while Hao Yueshen felt their overwhelming power.
• Lin Yu sensed a terrifying core within the ocean of chaos beneath the Dao Provinces and realized the vision showed the Dao Awakening Era.

Lin Yu, Hao Yueshen, and the black figure watched the Dao Awakening Era’s cultivators battle creatures pouring from a dark rift. After a prolonged fight and many losses to corruption, the era’s starry sky nearly sealed the rift, leaving the outcome momentarily in the cultivators’ favor.

• Thousands of Dao Awakening Era cultivators, including more than a hundred Progenitor Realm experts, gathered against the darkness as Lin Yu wondered whether the starry sky could withstand his full strength.
• A dark rift opened and released powerful creatures that attacked the Dao Awakening Era cultivators, and the two sides immediately began a devastating battle.
• Stars and pillars of light empowered the Dao Awakening Era’s defenses, while cultivators from the Three Thousand Dao Provinces joined the fight at regular intervals.
• Endless dark creatures emerged, and the black gas from their deaths weakened and corrupted some cultivators, who then turned against their former companions.
• The Dao Awakening Era cultivators contained their corrupted allies and gradually repaired the rift until only a narrow crack remained, prompting Hao Yueshen and the black figure to breathe in relief.

As the dark rift reopened with overwhelming force, the Dao-Opening Era’s experts withdrew and activated defenses across the Three Thousand Dao Provinces. A Dao Lord emerged to confront the threat, revealing a realm far beyond the Progenitor Realm and leaving the black figure stunned by the gap in strength.

• After half a month of fighting, the dark rift was nearly repaired, but a surge of black light forced it open across half the starry sky.
• The Dao-Opening Era’s experts retreated to their Dao Provinces, where the pillars of Great Dao light formed a protective barrier and mists covered the chaos sea.
• Lin Yu sensed the origin power at the center of the chaos sea reaching its limit and watched the rift with interest.
• An enormous hand formed inside the rift and descended toward the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.
• Ten distinct powers lit within the pillars of light, and a Dao Lord appeared, reassuring the inhabitants as the black hand approached.
• The black figure realized that Dao Lords stood above the Progenitor Realm and judged himself far from even the Half-Step Dao Lord level.

Lin Yu stepped out of the River of Space and Time into the Dao Awakening Era, drawing the attention of its Great Dao figures and a sky-blotting hand. The World-Ending Great Calamity erupted, but Lin Yu halted it with a single word, leaving the Great Dao Pillars of Light buckling under the pressure.

• The black figure observed that the Dao Awakening Era had far stronger Great Dao Pillars of Light and more powerful living beings than the present era.
• The Great Dao figures and the black sky-blotting hand sensed Lin Yu across space and time as he moved forward.
• Lin Yu's arrival made the River of Time's tides ripple through the starry sky, while purple qi gathered and the World-Ending Great Calamity appeared.
• The World-Ending Great Calamity unleashed a purple ribbon that killed more than a hundred Eternal Realm experts.
• Lin Yu said, "Stop," freezing the calamity and its purple ribbon, while the pressure shattered the void and shook the Great Dao Pillars of Light.

Lin Yu appeared in the Dao Enlightenment Era and shattered the purple ribbon marking the World-Ending Great Calamity, triggering its full force. As powerful experts gathered to watch, a devastating Water of Chaos descended toward him.

• Lin Yu broke through space and time, appeared above the Dao Enlightenment Era, and shattered the purple ribbon with a tap of his finger.
• The World-Ending Great Calamity isolated the era in purple space-time, leaving Lin Yu unchanged as the calamity’s apparent target.
• Figures from the Three Thousand Great Daos and a black hand crossed into Lin Yu’s higher-dimensional space while the gathered cultivators watched.
• Lin Yu sensed that many of the watching experts were above the Progenitor Realm and recognized hidden powers beyond those present.
• The World-Ending Great Calamity unleashed a waterfall of Water of Chaos that destroyed everything in its path, forcing even Dao Lords to move aside as it rushed toward Lin Yu.

Lin Yu calmly endured the World-Ending Great Calamity’s river of chaos, absorbed its power, and triggered upgrades to his Primordial treasures. He then walked up the Long River of Chaos toward the void above the Dao Enlightenment Era.

• Lin Yu remained unharmed as the river of chaos engulfed him, while the gathered cultivators feared he had been destroyed.
• Lin Yu walked out of the chaos torrent, keeping its power from coming within three feet of him.
• Lin Yu summoned four enormous vortices that swallowed the river of chaos and sent its power into the Primordial Platform, Primordial Space, and Primordial Hall.
• The system announced that the Primordial Platform, Primordial Divine Palace, and Primordial Hall were ready to upgrade, and Lin Yu agreed to begin.
• Lin Yu stepped onto the Long River of Chaos and walked toward its source in the void above the Dao Enlightenment Era.

Lin Yu advanced toward the World-Ending Great Calamity, stopping its purple lightning with the absolute domain around him. As the calamity gathered greater power, the black figure entered enlightenment after seeing Lin Yu embody the Great Dao.

• The black figure realized Lin Yu's strength might exceed the Dao Lord Realm and gained insight from the thought that the Dao had no end.
• The black figure entered enlightenment, causing his cultivation to surge, while Hao Yueshen watched Lin Yu with concern but stayed silent.
• Lin Yu continued toward the World-Ending Great Calamity as it erupted into purple lightning that halted three feet from him.
• Lin Yu's absolute domain kept the calamity from approaching, while an immense presence gathered inside the Sea of Chaos and confused the beings of the Dao Awakening Era.

Lin Yu ended the World-Ending Great Calamity after a three-month battle, restoring time and space in the Dao Awakening Era. The black hand fled into the dark rift, intending to report Lin Yu’s unexpected power to the elders of his clan.

• Lin Yu fought the World-Ending Great Calamity for three months while time and space remained frozen around the Dao Lord Realm spectators.
• The Great Calamity unleashed a terrifying pillar of light, then dispersed as time and space began flowing again.
• Lin Yu emerged unhurt and calm after defeating the World-Ending Great Calamity.
• The black hand dispersed into rays of black light and fled toward the dark rift rather than face Lin Yu.
• The black hand resolved to return to its clan and tell the elders about Lin Yu, whose strength had exceeded their expectations.

Lin Yu watched Dao Lord Realm experts destroy the black hand’s avatar, then left the Dao Awakening Era to avoid disrupting space and time. Above the River of Space and Time, he encountered the mysterious figure he had once seen on a girl, who was also an avatar.

• The Dao Lord Realm experts attacked and erased the black hand’s manifestation, while none dared enter the dark rift.
• Lin Yu held back from intervening because changing events could disrupt space and time and draw the world’s supreme power.
• Lin Yu vanished from the Dao Awakening Era and traveled downstream along the River of Space and Time.
• Lin Yu met the mysterious figure above the river and recognized it as the avatar he had once seen on a girl.

Lin Yu returned to the Sea of Reincarnation and forced its independent spirit to choose whether to submit to Hao Yueshen or be absorbed by force. The spirit accepted Hao Yueshen as its master, making her the Sea of Reincarnation’s ruler while preserving her freedom to leave it.

• Lin Yu thanked the ethereal figure for its praise, called himself Hongmeng, and continued downstream along the River of Space and Time.
• Lin Yu reappeared above the Sea of Reincarnation, took Hao Yueshen’s hand, and confronted the black-and-white sphere hidden beneath the sea.
• Lin Yu offered the sphere the choice to submit willingly to Hao Yueshen or have its independent spiritual power erased and merged into her.
• The black-and-white sphere sent a flash of light into Hao Yueshen, willingly accepting her as its master and making her the Sea of Reincarnation’s ruler.
• Lin Yu confirmed Hao Yueshen could remain free of the sea’s confinement and then left.

Hao Yueshen gained control of the power granted by the Sea of Reincarnation, while Lin Yu planned to expand the Primordial Merchant Guild across the Three Thousand Immortal Worlds. In the Merchant Guild Immortal World, Baili Xuelian used the Nine Heavens Race’s resources and ancestral treasure to overcome a barrier and advance across the Sea of the Immortal World.

• Hao Yueshen struggled to control the power surging through her after the Sea of Reincarnation recognized her, then mastered it and reached at least the Dao Lord Realm.
• Lin Yu told Hao Yueshen to recuperate before joining his next plans and declared that he would expand the Primordial Merchant Guild throughout the Three Thousand Immortal Worlds.
• Baili Xuelian spread a sky-blue magic treasure’s azure smoke across the Sea of the Immortal World and stepped onto its surface.
• An invisible force blocked Baili Xuelian, who used a horsetail whisk to disperse its pressure.
• The azure smoke formed a pale azure path before Baili Xuelian, and she stepped onto it to continue forward.

Baili Xuelian passed the trial above the Merchant Immortal World and became its queen. Meanwhile, a mysterious barrier appeared in the Supreme Dragon Race’s home waters, and even the patriarch could not break through it.

• Baili Xuelian endured the pressure, passed the white-light baptism, and became the queen of the Merchant Immortal World.
• A strange current in the Supreme Dragon Race’s home waters swept a dragon beneath the sea and cast its scales onto the shore.
• The patriarch summoned the race’s leaders and elders after learning that a barrier had appeared in their waters and resisted their subordinates’ bloodline power.
• The patriarch and the other leaders and elders sensed that the barrier came from the Dragon Race but differed from their own bloodlines.
• The patriarch struck the barrier repeatedly in dragon form, but each attempt sent him back without breaking through.

The Supreme Dragon Race failed to break its barrier with the elders’ combined blood, but a twelve-clawed purple-gold dragon emerged from within and caused a great upheaval. The Supreme Phoenix Clan and dragons across the outside world sensed the event, while Lin Yu set out for the Supreme Dragon Race’s habitat.

• The Supreme Dragon Race patriarch and elders combined their blood-bearing scales to try to break the barrier, but they failed.
• A mighty roar shook the sea inside the barrier, and the Supreme Phoenix Clan patriarch sensed it and ordered someone to investigate.
• Dragons across the outside world felt an ominous summons, and Lin Yu left for the Supreme Dragon Race’s habitat after arranging matters at the Primordial Hall.
• A purple-gold dragon burst from the sea, and the Supreme Dragon Race patriarch saw that it had twelve claws.
• The dragons speculated that the figure was an Emperor Level powerhouse or their revived ancestor, and news of the event spread to other races.
• The purple-gold dragon emerged again, hovered in midair, and fixed the dragons with a cold gaze.

A twelve-clawed purple-gold True Dragon emerged in the Supreme Dragon Race’s habitat, gained the ancestor’s blood essence, and was accepted as the clan’s new leader. After sensing the changes, the Supreme White Tiger princess tried to leave her habitat to investigate, but the elders stopped her.

• A twelve-clawed purple-gold True Dragon emerged from the depths and absorbed the barrier protecting the Supreme Dragon Race’s habitat.
• The True Dragon shattered a newly risen stele, revealing a bronze door, then struck down a foreign cultivator who tried to enter.
• The bronze door opened, and white light enveloped the True Dragon as the habitat shook.
• The True Dragon absorbed the light, gained the ancestor’s blood essence, and was recognized as the Supreme Dragon Race’s new leader.
• The Supreme White Tiger princess insisted on leaving to investigate the changes, while her elders urged her to stay inside the habitat.

The White Tiger Princess escaped her guards to investigate the upheaval among the Supreme Dragon Race, but a powerful shadow confronted her on the way. Recognizing its presence as similar to creatures from the Dao Enlightenment Era’s dark rift, she fled toward the Supreme Dragon Race’s habitat with the shadow in pursuit.

• The White Tiger Princess slipped past her guards and took a secluded path away from the clan’s habitat.
• She sensed a powerful presence following her, but could not locate it even after releasing her power.
• The White Tiger Princess roared and brought down nearby trees, revealing a black figure hidden behind one of them.
• She recognized the figure’s presence as similar to that of creatures from the Dao Enlightenment Era’s dark rift and judged that she could not defeat it.
• The White Tiger Princess raced toward the Supreme Dragon Race’s habitat, and the shadow resumed its pursuit.

The White Tiger Princess was chased into the Supreme Dragon Race's territory by a shadow from the dark rift of the Dao Awakening Era, and the purple-gold True Dragon intervened to save her. After the shadow reappeared with vastly greater power and spread across half the habitat, the True Dragon ordered everyone to retreat.

• The White Tiger Princess fled from the shadow for an hour, but it split in two and surrounded her before she could reach the center of the Supreme Dragon Race's habitat.
• The purple-gold True Dragon struck the shadow with purple lightning and then shattered it with his roar, saving the exhausted White Tiger Princess.
• The White Tiger Princess told the purple-gold True Dragon and the Supreme Dragon Race's elders that the shadow had come from the dark rift of the Dao Awakening Era.
• The shadow reappeared with a transformed presence and spread black mist across half the Supreme Dragon Race's habitat.
• The purple-gold True Dragon sensed danger and ordered everyone to retreat and stay away until he gave permission.

A black shadow dragged the purple-gold True Dragon into a separate dark dimension, where he fought back against its crushing power and chaotic light. Outside, the White Tiger Princess and the Supreme Dragon Race waited anxiously, unable to learn the shadow’s origin or the True Dragon’s fate.

• A black chain emerged from the shadow, bound the purple-gold True Dragon, and dragged him inside despite his struggle.
• The purple-gold True Dragon found himself alone in a dark dimension and tried to resist its growing pressure with his True Dragon presence.
• The purple-gold True Dragon illuminated the darkness, drove away the shadow’s grasping hands, and unleashed dragon flame and a scale shield against its black-and-white chaos light.
• The shadow and the purple-gold True Dragon continued fighting as the shadow’s exterior remained calm.
• The White Tiger Princess and the Supreme Dragon Race waited outside, and the cultivators questioned her about the shadow and why she had come to their territory.
