Zhuo Yongnian’s attempt to overthrow the old Immortal Emperor failed because National Fortune protected him, so Zhuo Yongnian drew down the seventh tribulation. Zhuo Yongnian became a Seven-Tribulation Loose Immortal, but the old Immortal Emperor remained unharmed.

• Zhuo Dao stabbed at the old Immortal Emperor, but golden light stopped his dagger, and Zhuo Yongnian’s palm strike also failed to harm him.

Zhuo Dao’s attempt to inherit the throne coincided with the National Fortune Great Sun vanishing, allowing Zhuo Yongnian to seize power by force. Far north, the sun reappeared above Zhuo Lie’s besieged city, and he cried out to his deceased father.

• Zhuo Lie’s army remained trapped in its last city as the Barbarian Clan pressed its siege.
• A great sun appeared above Zhuo Lie’s battlefield, and he cried, “Imperial Father!”

Zhuo Lie understood the old Immortal Emperor had chosen him as successor, but he rejected the throne and used Liberation by Violence to begin his first Loose Immortal tribulation. The National Fortune Great Sun then appeared above Yi Xuan and Zhuo Ning as they prepared to flee.

• Zhuo Lie realized the old Immortal Emperor had severed his connection to the National Fortune Great Sun and gambled that Zhuo Lie was still alive, allowing the Great Sun to select him as successor.

The National Fortune Great Sun connected with Zhuo Ning, beginning his succession to the Immortal Emperor’s throne. Zhuo Yongnian moved to stop him, but Yi Xuan launched a diversion as more than a hundred giant coffin-like objects descended from orbit.

• Zhuo Yongnian and Zhuo Dao celebrated their apparent control of the immortal dynasty before Zhuo Yongnian sensed the Great Sun’s return.
• Zhuo Yongnian appeared near Zhuo Ning and Yi Xuan as Zhuo Ning remained motionless.
• Yi Xuan ordered No. 01 to attack Zhuo Yongnian with space-based laser and kinetic weapons.
• More than a hundred giant coffin-like objects began descending toward the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom in front of Zhuo Yongnian.

Yi Xuan summoned giant coffins and Godzillas to confront Zhuo Yongnian, a Seven-Tribulation Loose Immortal who could destroy Starlink from afar. After enclosing himself and Zhuo Ning in a layered formation of enormous coffins, Yi Xuan called it his strongest shield.

• More than a hundred giant coffins descended, and the immortal dynasty’s cultivators found that their Divine Sense could not penetrate them.
• Yi Xuan stopped the space-based weapons after they failed to harm Zhuo Yongnian, who had been distracted by their attack.
• Zhuo Yongnian struck toward the sky and damaged Starlink, destroying 37 quantum satellites, 12 laser space-based weapons, and 9 kinetic space-based weapons.
• Yi Xuan opened the coffins and sent more than a hundred Godzillas out to face Zhuo Yongnian.
• The coffins separated into panels and formed seven larger coffins that layered over the one enclosing Yi Xuan and Zhuo Ning.

Yi Xuan sent over a hundred Godzillas against Zhuo Yongnian, but the Seven-Tribulation Loose Immortal killed them all with a single swordlike gesture. Yi Xuan continued issuing orders to No. 01 and activated a jade token, though it produced no apparent effect.

• Yi Xuan confirmed the giant coffins protected the Godzillas in space without disrupting Zhuo Ning’s succession, then prepared to face Zhuo Yongnian’s attack.
• The Godzillas fired dark-blue Atomic Breath at Zhuo Yongnian’s falling cloud fist, but the collision hurled them back a thousand meters.
• The Godzillas charged Zhuo Yongnian again, and he stopped them with a palm before cutting off every one of their heads with two fingers.
• Yi Xuan mourned the fallen Godzillas, continued giving orders to No. 01, and injected True Qi into a jade token, which flashed white without any visible result.

Zhuo Yongnian slaughtered Yi Xuan’s Godzillas and unleashed a sword attack that shattered four layers of the Strongest Shield. As Yi Xuan feared the shield would not survive another strike, No. 01 announced Boss Godzilla’s arrival.

• Zhuo Yongnian killed over a hundred Godzillas before they could charge their combined Atomic Breath, which could have threatened him if they had enough time.
• Zhuo Yongnian gathered Sword Qi and summoned a giant sword phantom that terrified the people and sword cultivators of the Immortal Dynasty.
• Zhuo Yongnian brought the sword down on the Strongest Shield, breaking its first four layers in moments and leaving Yi Xuan afraid the remaining defenses would fail.
• No. 01 announced that Boss Godzilla had arrived, and the three-hundred-meter-tall mutated Godzilla flew toward Zhuo Yongnian.

Zhuo Yongnian overcame Godzilla’s initial counterattack and began battering him, leaving Yi Xuan to order the damaged Unit-01 into battle. The chapter ended as No. 01 prepared to activate Unit-01 despite the danger.

• Zhuo Yongnian’s Sword Qi clashed with Godzilla’s Atomic Breath, and Godzilla’s beam melted the sword projection.
• Zhuo Yongnian attacked from above, but Godzilla vanished, then struck him and repeatedly punched him through the air.
• Zhuo Yongnian blocked one of Godzilla’s punches and sent Godzilla flying, then took control of the fight and battered him.
• Seeing Godzilla on the defensive, Yi Xuan ordered No. 01 to wake Unit-01 despite its damaged condition.
• No. 01 confirmed the order and began carrying it out as Yi Xuan sighed beside Zhuo Ning.

Zhuo Yongnian battered Godzilla to demonstrate the power of a seven-tribulation loose immortal, then formed a tiny Void Sword Qi that threatened to kill him. As Godzilla faced the attack, a purple-armored hand shoved him away and a huge short blade intercepted the sword.

• Zhuo Yongnian beat Godzilla across the sky, frightening the Immortal Dynasty and convincing the fourth prince to abandon hopes of taking the throne.
• Zhuo Dao watched his father's display and decided that Zhuo Yongnian's strength made his claim to the throne legitimate.
• Zhuo Yongnian formed a concentrated, three-inch Void Sword Qi and sent it toward Godzilla's chest.
• Godzilla fired Atomic Breath at the sword, but it cut through the blast; he then prepared to swallow the sword as it neared his mouth.
• A purple-armored hand pushed Godzilla dozens of kilometers away, and a huge short blade appeared to meet the Void Sword Qi, plunging the scene into silence.

Yi Xuan’s final weapon, Unit-01, appeared after Zhuo Yongnian’s attack destroyed the Godzillas and overwhelmed the city with a grating sound. The chapter explained how Yi Xuan built Unit-01 to use Dark Matter and Immortal Qi, leaving it standing as his new ultimate weapon.

• Zhuo Yongnian’s attack vanished beneath an enormous short blade, while a painful sound made people across the city vomit, including Loose Immortals.
• A towering purple armored creature appeared, panting through its open mouth, and was revealed as Yi Xuan’s Unit-01.
• Yi Xuan had developed Unit-01 from scratch after mass-produced Godzillas and Boss Godzilla proved unable to meet his requirements for Dark Matter.
• Yi Xuan designed Unit-01 with Arc Reactors and the ability to cultivate, while its shoulder guards absorbed Immortal Qi and balanced it with Spiritual Qi.

Unit-01 battled Zhuo Yongnian, breaking through his defenses and forcing him back before the two giants fought across the sky. Their clash devastated the area around the Immortal Dynasty, leaving its people fearing the destruction more than the succession struggle.

• Zhuo Yongnian used a secret technique to enlarge himself and returned to fight Unit-01 at nearly its height.
• Unit-01 and Zhuo Yongnian clashed with its short blade and his Invisible Sword Qi, devastating the land outside the city.
• Yi Xuan ordered Unit-01 to move the fight into the air after shockwaves damaged the Immortal Dynasty and caused casualties.
• The battle continued above the city as its people, including the twenty-seventh prince, feared when the two giants would stop.

Yi Xuan’s Unit-01 fought Zhuo Yongnian in its first real battle, and their attacks collided with enough force to fracture space. As the two prepared to continue, Yi Xuan worried that Unit-01’s exertion might trigger its berserk state.

• Yi Xuan’s control over Unit-01 depended on entering it and using his Divine Sense to suppress its berserk state, which he believed was possible because it had been made with his genes.
• Zhuo Yongnian surrounded himself with eight streams of Void Sword Qi and drove Unit-01 backward.
• Zhuo Yongnian gathered the Sword Qi and launched it at Unit-01, which transformed its short blade into a sniper rifle and fired.
• The attacks collided and briefly shattered space before it repaired itself.
• Unit-01 changed its sniper rifle back into a short blade and panted from the strain, while Yi Xuan summoned a Power Amplifier Tower and worried it might go berserk.

Unit-01 fought Zhuo Yongnian in close combat to buy Yi Xuan time, but Zhuo Yongnian pierced its chest with a concealed stream of Sword Qi. Unit-01 entered berserk mode, leaving Yi Xuan facing the danger he had hoped to avoid.

• Unit-01 repeatedly attacked Zhuo Yongnian at close range, preventing him from using his secret techniques while Yi Xuan watched its performance.
• Zhuo Yongnian knocked Unit-01 back and unleashed streams of Sword Qi, then surrounded it with a powerful barrage.
• Zhuo Yongnian concealed a dim stream of Sword Qi among his attacks and used it to cut through Unit-01's blade and pierce its chest.
• Wounded Unit-01 howled as No. 01 warned that it had entered berserk mode, and Yi Xuan realized it had lost control.

Unit-01 went berserk and brutally overpowered Zhuo Yongnian, a Seven-Tribulation Loose Immortal, tearing out his spine before killing him. It then turned toward the Immortal Dynasty, whose experts panicked and fled.

• Unit-01 seized Zhuo Yongnian and bit a chunk from his shoulder, ignoring the damage he inflicted on its hands.
• Zhuo Yongnian activated a secret technique that damaged his Spirit Root and summoned eight streams of Void Sword Qi to escape.

• Unit-01 crushed Zhuo Yongnian beneath its foot, killing him in front of the Immortal Dynasty's experts.
• Unit-01 turned toward the Immortal Dynasty, and its experts broke into chaos and ran.

Yi Xuan stopped Unit-01 just before it could crush the Immortal Dynasty, but struggled to control its violent rampage. Venerable Yuan arrived and trapped Unit-01, leaving Yi Xuan wondering at his strength.

• Yi Xuan used his Divine Sense and the Power Amplifier Tower to search for Unit-01's natural frequency while it raced toward the Immortal Dynasty.
• Yi Xuan established a connection with Unit-01 and ordered it to stop before it reached the city gate.
• Unit-01's violent emotions and the strain of controlling it rapidly drained Yi Xuan's Divine Sense.
• Venerable Yuan appeared beside Yi Xuan and dealt with Unit-01 in an instant.
• Venerable Yuan revealed that Unit-01 was trapped rather than destroyed, and Yi Xuan recognized the method as similar to Emperor Qing's.

Zhuo Ning became the new Immortal Emperor of the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom, and Venerable Yuan asked Yi Xuan to take him to see the Light-Speed Engine. On their way to the space center, Venerable Yuan revealed he had never believed Yi Xuan was a successor of the High Antiquity Artifact Sect.

• Venerable Yuan recognized Zhuo Ning’s awakening as the birth of a new Immortal Emperor, while Zhuo Lie’s forces rallied and the Barbarian Clan commander ordered a retreat.
• Zhuo Ning knelt before Venerable Yuan and identified himself as the one hundred and fifty-fifth generation Immortal Emperor of the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom.
• Venerable Yuan asked Yi Xuan to show him the Light-Speed Engine, and Zhuo Ning urged Yi Xuan to go while he handled the invasion.
• Yi Xuan sent Liang Shi to support Zhuo Ning, then took Venerable Yuan aboard the Firmament and headed for the space center.
• Yi Xuan explained that most of his technology had not come from the High Antiquity Artifact Sect, and Venerable Yuan admitted he had called Yi Xuan its successor only to fool Emperor Qing.

Venerable Yuan rushed Yi Xuan to the space center to see the light-speed engine, but could not understand Yi Xuan’s explanation of its technology. He revealed that his earlier promise had been a test and began telling Yi Xuan a story from ten million years ago.

• Venerable Yuan explained that the High Antiquity Artifact Sect’s methods ultimately relied on cultivation, unlike Yi Xuan’s technology.
• Impatient with the Firmament’s five-to-six-day journey, Venerable Yuan destroyed it and carried Yi Xuan to the space center in less than a second.
• Yi Xuan showed Venerable Yuan the light-speed engine and explained its techniques, but Venerable Yuan admitted he had understood nothing.
• Venerable Yuan said his promise to explain everything had been a test, then offered to tell Yi Xuan the story behind it.

Venerable Yuan told Yi Xuan that the Cultivation Realm had once thrived across its entire star system, until powerful enemies invaded and wiped out its immortals. He showed Yi Xuan an ancient star map with nine additional planets, but No. 01 insisted the map was fake.

• Venerable Yuan described the ancient Cultivation Realm, where immortals remained in their star systems and Guiding Golden Immortals protected them.
• Yi Xuan asked what had happened to the old Cultivation Realm, and Venerable Yuan confirmed that a hostile force had invaded and defeated its immortals.
• Venerable Yuan explained that even Golden Immortals were insignificant to powerful forces in the universe.
• Venerable Yuan showed Yi Xuan a star map of their system with nine large planets that Yi Xuan had never observed.
• Yi Xuan sent the map to No. 01, which declared it fake based on its Starlink observations.

Venerable Yuan revealed to Yi Xuan that a single Heavenly Dog had devoured the Cultivation Realm’s nine other planets and was destroying every immortal who ascended. Yi Xuan realized the Cultivation Realm was inside the Heavenly Dog’s stomach and that the creature’s true target might be the sun.

• Yi Xuan learned that the Cultivation Realm once had nine other planets, which had all disappeared tens of millions of years earlier.
• Venerable Yuan explained that demons could absorb the sun and moon’s essence, then showed Yi Xuan images of 1,257 ascended immortals vanishing against an invisible barrier.
• Venerable Yuan told Yi Xuan that one demon had devoured the nine planets and that the remaining Cultivation Realm was inside its stomach.
• Venerable Yuan identified the demon as a Heavenly Dog, and Yi Xuan connected it to the legend of the Heavenly Dog devouring the sun.
• Yi Xuan realized the Heavenly Dog might be targeting the sun, with the Cultivation Realm’s destruction merely incidental.

Yi Xuan learned from Venerable Yuan that the Heavenly Dog had been devouring the Cultivation Realm while feeding on the sun, and that its concealment made escape or contact with the Immortal Realm impossible. After eight failed escape attempts, Yi Xuan realized the planet beneath him was the Cultivation Realm’s final chance—and his own.

• Yi Xuan composed himself and sought out Venerable Yuan to ask about the Heavenly Dog.
• Venerable Yuan confirmed that the Heavenly Dog’s true target was the sun and explained that the juvenile creature had been consuming the Cultivation Realm for ten million years.
• Venerable Yuan said the surviving immortals had discovered the Heavenly Dog only after it began dissolving the outermost planet, and they had been unable to contact the Immortal Realm.
• Venerable Yuan explained that Heavenly Dogs fed on many kinds of energy and became concealed and untouchable while devouring.
• Venerable Yuan told Yi Xuan that the Cultivation Realm had made eight failed escape attempts, corresponding to the eight planets lost after the first.
• Yi Xuan realized that the planet beneath him was the Cultivation Realm’s last chance, and his own.

Yi Xuan learned that the Cultivation Realm had failed in seven attempts to escape the Heavenly Dog, each leaving behind a changed people or a vanished sect. Venerable Yuan said the Cultivation Realm would accept Yi Xuan’s advice, while revealing that the High Antiquity Artifact Sect had been destroyed after proposing a final escape plan.

• Yi Xuan doubted that Venerable Yuan would accept advice from someone as inexperienced as him, but Venerable Yuan insisted that they would.
• Venerable Yuan explained that the Cultivation Realm’s first assault on the Heavenly Dog failed, and nearly all the gathered immortals were digested.
• The Guiding Golden Immortal sacrificed a main planet’s Spiritual Qi to divine a way out, and the result called for a path beyond immortal cultivation.
• The Cultivation Realm’s later efforts failed, leaving behind the Barbarian Clan, Sea Clan, Loose Immortals, Eternal Sea, and the vanished High Antiquity Artifact Sect.
• The High Antiquity Artifact Sect proposed drawing Immortal Qi into the Cultivation Realm so the Heavenly Dog would expel it as a dead planet, but the other leaders attacked and destroyed the sect.

Yi Xuan learned that the Mystic Gate planned to use the five great Immortal Kingdoms’ National Fortune to fight the Heavenly Dog, while treating his technology as a backup possibility. He secured the entire Southern Frontier, and more than a hundred Loose Immortals arrived to place it under his authority.

• Venerable Yuan explained that cultivators had rejected the High Antiquity Artifact Sect’s proposal because they would not give up their status, and revealed the Immortal Kingdoms’ National Fortune plan to fight the Heavenly Dog.
• Venerable Yuan told Yi Xuan that the Mystic Gate would support him within its limits, and Yi Xuan demanded the entire Southern Frontier.
• Venerable Yuan granted Yi Xuan control of the Southern Frontier.
• Two days later, more than a hundred Loose Immortals subdued the region’s sects and declared that Yi Xuan’s orders carried the Mystic Gate’s authority.
• Cui Yan sent disciples to gather information, but Southern Frontier factions arrived at the Azure Cloud Sect before they could leave.

Cui Yan prepared the Azure Cloud Sect for an apparent reckoning as sects from across the Southern Frontier arrived, but their representatives treated the sect with unexpected deference. The chapter ended with representatives from the top-tier forces kneeling before Cui Yan.

• Cui Yan learned that major sects across the Southern Frontier were heading to the Azure Cloud Sect, and he and the three supreme elders prepared for the worst.
• Cui Yan ordered the outer disciples to welcome the visitors and arrange their lodging, while he asked the old supreme elder to activate the puppet army.
• The visiting sect representatives treated the reception disciples kindly, gave them valuable gifts, and asked when they could visit the Azure Cloud Sect.
• Cui Yan invited the visitors to ascend the mountain the next morning, and the top-tier forces arrived first.
• The representatives of the top-tier forces fell to their knees as soon as they saw Cui Yan.

Yi Xuan arrived at the Azure Cloud Sect with a man dressed like the Loose Immortals who had intimidated the Southern Frontier’s sects, and the sect leaders submitted to his authority. He announced plans to spread Xia Kingdom technology and establish schools, reassuring the sect leaders that he would select students for their cleverness rather than their Spirit Roots.

• Yun Fan and other Southern Frontier sect leaders asked Cui Yan to put in a good word for them with Yi Xuan and pledged to follow the Azure Cloud Sect’s lead.
• Yi Xuan arrived aboard the Firmament with a strangely dressed man, whose appearance frightened the sect leaders because it matched that of their attackers.
• Cui Yan arranged for the sect leaders to gather in the Azure Cloud Sect’s main hall, where Yi Xuan declared that he would have the final say in the Southern Frontier.
• Yi Xuan announced that he would promote Xia Kingdom products and establish schools throughout the Southern Frontier.
• When a sect leader asked what students the schools would recruit, Yi Xuan said he wanted clever people and would not use Spirit Roots as his standard.
