• An old monk approached Yu Tunzhou, introduced himself with a Buddhist invocation, and asked him to join the Buddhist School.

After the Buddhist kingdom’s blessing faded, he affirmed his own Martial Dao and reached the threshold of [Nature-Seeing Heaven], while the old monk wondered whether Maitreya had planned it all.

• Venerable Rahula told Yu Tunzhou that the Buddha had passed into extinction and warned that the Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic carried great karmic significance for the Buddhist School.
• Dingguang said Maitreya might be behind Little Thunderclap Temple and explained that Deng Canglan had entered the Buddhist kingdom, where he stopped Mietian from ascending and joining with his main body, Kou Ziling.

• Yu Tunzhou returned the blessing’s remaining power in a final punch at the firmament, and Rahula wondered whether Maitreya had included the events in his plan.

Deng Canglan stabilized his Nature-Seeing Heaven realm and decided to travel to the Eastern Wilderness, while Kou Ziling sent Shen You overseas to oversee his holdings and monitor the Demon Race. After the Buddhist kingdom’s battle, the Underworld answered the Xie Household’s complaint over its failed assassination by sending Xie Yun’s severed head.

He broke through to the Late Divine Ability Stage and established two more wondrous sights, leaving seven of the Eight Sceneries complete.

He used Master Lu’s Ascension Platform to reach a snowbound cabin, where a lame young man mistook him for the Martial Ancestor and then suggested that the Martial Ancestor looked like himself.

• Yu Tunzhou examined the seven Divine Abilities formed from his Inner Scenery and realized that opening his eighth wondrous sight required surviving another formidable lightning tribulation.

Xie Xiaoran learned that a powerful figure had arrived at Antarctic Mountain and sought the Founding Ancestor’s order to kill him, while Yu Tunzhou uncovered the Xie Household’s exploitation of the realm and resolved to wipe out its forces. After Yu Tunzhou killed Xiao Cheng with a single blow, the slaughtered world’s grief and fury gathered within him, forming the nascent Final Tribulation of heaven and earth.

• A being beyond the heavens called Yu Tunzhou a Tribulation Fruit, and Yu Tunzhou left to pursue other invaders; Huntian recognized the signs of a Heaven and Earth Tribulation Fruit.

Yu Tunzhou led the Final Tribulation through Southern Extreme Heaven, destroying the invaders and ascending with Lu Di as a Tribulation Fruit began to form within him. In Heaven Beyond Heaven, an ancient figure recognized Lu Di as the Heavenly Emperor and tried to stop their escape, while Huntian realized the Ascension Platform connected to the Primeval Heavenly Court.

• Huntian remembered the rarity and danger of Tribulation Fruits and realized Yu Tunzhou had become one as the Final Tribulation consumed the world.
• Yu Tunzhou swept through the invaders’ strongholds, killing those burdened with karma until Winter's Arrival City became the last stronghold and fell.

• Huntian warned Yu Tunzhou that he was becoming the vessel of the Final Tribulation, and Yu Tunzhou returned to Antarctic Mountain with Lu Di to complete the Ascension Grand Formation.
• The Ascension Grand Formation carried Yu Tunzhou and Lu Di through Heaven Beyond Heaven, where a vast figure recognized Lu Di as the Heavenly Emperor and tried to crush their path.
• The divine light escaped the figure’s grasp, and Huntian identified the attacker as a living Great Emperor-level existence from the Heavenly Court before warning that the Primeval Ascension Platform connected to the Primeval Heavenly Court.

Yu Tunzhou and Lu Di arrived at the Eastern Heavenly Gate ruins, where Yu Tunzhou learned more about the Heavenly Court’s past and the King Father of the East. As a pursuer shouted that the Heavenly Emperor could not escape, Yu Tunzhou entered the Eastern Ultimate Wondrous Majesty Palace, while Lu Daolin and Ji Tianfang watched from beneath the gate.

• Beneath the Eastern Heavenly Gate, Lu Daolin and Ji Tianfang watched the breach in the mist widen, and Lu Daolin remarked that enemies were bound to cross paths.

Feng Xu was sent away from the Heavenly Court as Lu Daolin and Ji Tianfang prepared to confront a powerful divine being, while Lu Daolin unleashed the Martial Dao’s might in a strike called [Opening the Dao]. In the Azure Emperor’s palace, Lu Di received a golden light from the True Spirit Pool, and Yu Tunzhou used the pool to discover Grand Dharma Master Xuandu’s Dao body inside the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

• Feng Xu recalled Lu Daolin’s past and learned that he had vanished after entering the Divine Capital, before later creating the Martial Dao.
• Ji Tianfang sent Feng Xu back through the portal, and Feng Xu ordered the Gold-Wielding Guards to watch the Tantai Household, the Xiao Household, and the imperial palace.

Yu Tunzhou used the True Spirit Pool to uncover fragments of his and Lu Di’s True Spirits, discovering that one of his fragments was his former self on Earth and that Lu Di’s was Huang Tian. After the pool revealed a mysterious figure who could interfere with it, Yu Tunzhou planned to hide Lu Di in the Luofu Grotto-Heaven, but striking the pool cast them out and exposed a clash between a heavenly deity and a figure wielding the strongest Martial Intention.

• The True Spirit Pool showed Xuandu’s Dao body and then Yu Tunzhou’s former life on Earth, leaving him shaken by the sight of his mentor and mentor’s wife caring for him after his accident.
• Lu Di’s presence stirred the pool, which revealed Huang Tian on one side and a powerful, indistinct figure in chaos on the other; the figure sensed their probing and concealed the image.
• Yu Tunzhou concluded that Lu Di’s True Spirit fragments included Huang Tian and the mysterious figure, and decided to keep Lu Di in the Luofu Grotto-Heaven to prevent a conflict with Huang Tian.
• Yu Tunzhou tried to pry up the True Spirit Pool with the Vajra Bracelet, but the palace expelled him and Lu Di as its world vanished.
• A golden deity formed a halberd and attacked a barefoot figure whose overwhelming Martial Intention met the blow with a punch.

• Lu Daolin cracked the towering deity with a punch, and the deity identified his path as the Dao of Self Alone; then the Eastern Emperor Bell rang, shaking Yu Tunzhou and Huntian.

Yu Tunzhou escaped the Heavenly Court after the Eastern Emperor Bell appeared, then returned to Luofu Grotto-Heaven and began piecing together a possible connection between Lu Daolin and Haotian. The chapter ended as the Tribulation Fruit fell from his Dao Sprout Immortal Embryo.

• The Eastern Emperor Bell appeared and froze the Eastern Ultimate Wondrous Majesty Palace, while a golden eye behind it tried to probe Yu Tunzhou until Lu Daolin intervened and told him to return in two months.

• In the Divine Capital, Ji Yaoyang told Feng Xu that Great Yan was doomed and invited him to join his plan to establish a new dynasty.
• In the Western Desert, the distant bell awakened the Golden Crow Divine Intent inside Huang Tian, which raged about someone stealing the Eastern Emperor Bell before Huang Tian suppressed it and continued his journey.

After discovering the Xie Household’s plans against him and the Northern Dark Sea Faction, he set out toward the Western Desert, confident in his strength.
