Chapter Summaries

Qie Qiong presented the Clone Technique to the Human Race’s leaders, who recognized its immense value and promised to support him if it proved genuine. In Giant Axe Founder’s Miniature Universe, Qie Qiong began cultivating it by splitting his divine body and forming an infant clone, and Giant Axe accelerated time to help it grow.

• Chaos City Lord told Lord Long Xing and the others that Qie Qiong had brought back a Clone Technique that could not be reproduced or sensed in the Virtual Universe.

Qie Qiong proved that his Clone Technique could deceive the Original Universe and create an independent clone inside the Giant Axe Universe, earning the Human Race’s support and access to its treasury. As he began choosing Supreme Treasures, he discovered the Wind Annihilation Domain and suspected it was linked to his Thunder Annihilation Domain.

Qie Qiong arrived on the Primal Star and sensed an ancient palace rising from underground, drawing powerful beings from across the region.

• More Universe Overlords and Universe Venerables gathered around the basin, and another powerful figure arrived, giving them hope of opposing Qie Qiong.

Qie Qiong confronted the Star Palace Master over the ancient palace as it emerged, revealing the High-grade Domain-type Supreme Treasure Light Annihilation Domain. When the doors opened, the experts rushed inside while Qie Qiong and the Star Palace Master clashed at the entrance; a late-arriving figure was shut out and decided to wait for someone to leave.

• The palace emerged, and a stele identified the Light Annihilation Domain as a High-grade Domain-type Supreme Treasure.
• The palace doors opened, and the Star Palace Master raced toward them as Qie Qiong caught up and blocked his way.
• The Crystal Race overlords, the Purple Cocoon Beast, and the other experts slipped past the two rivals and entered the palace.
• The doors closed behind the entrants, leaving a flying palace outside; its occupant resolved to wait for someone to come out and seize the treasure.

Qie Qiong fought the Star Palace Master inside the Ancient Palace while concealing much of his strength, eventually killing the Top Universe Overlord after a two-year battle. With the palace’s spatial pillar damaged and an unidentified Universe Master still blocking the entrance, Qie Qiong entered the passage to the main hall to pursue the Light Annihilation Domain.

• Qie Qiong saw that the White Crystal Pillar was cracked and its spatial suppression unstable, then flew into the passage leading to the core main hall.

Qie Qiong obtained the Light Annihilation Domain and fused it with the Wind-Thunder Realm to create the Top-tier Time Annihilation Realm, which granted him a superior form of Control of Space-Time that he named the Annihilation Kingdom. As he prepared to confront the enemies outside the palace, four Universe Masters gathered at the gates and each claimed the right to kill him or take his Supreme Treasure.

• The main palace doors opened, and the Light Annihilation Domain pearl flew to Qie Qiong.
• The Wind-Thunder Realm resonated with the pearl and fused with it, creating the Time Annihilation Realm, a Top-tier Domain-type Supreme Treasure.

• Qie Qiong withdrew the domain and declared that he would now block in those who had kept him out of the palace.
• The Lord of Eternal Darkness, Rift Crystal Master, Lord of Bone Ash, and a mysterious gray-mist being arrived outside the palace gates.
• The three named Universe Masters each claimed Qie Qiong as their prey, while the gray-mist being remained silent.

After the palace doors opened, Qie Qiong used the Annihilation Kingdom and Time-Extinguishing Pearl to overwhelm four rival Universe Masters and seize control of the battle. As the gray-mist opponent fled, the others identified him as North Prison Lord, and Qie Qiong recognized him as the human traitor Yan Emperor.

After three eras on the Primal Stars, Qie Qiong had grown stronger through relentless training and gained several treasures, though few met his expectations. He had also guided Lian Luo to become a powerful King-level Immortal, while Qie Qiong continued to hope for treasures that could develop the Time Annihilation Pearl further.

• The Human Race's Universe Masters watched intelligence showing Qie Qiong suppressing three opponents with Annihilation Kingdom and escaping the North Prison Lord, and they debated whether to pursue the enemy.

Qie Qiong rescued Star Demon, Pan Fu, Thousand Illusions, Qian Wu, and Heartsplitter from five Northern Border Alliance venerables on Primal Star No. 124. After annihilating their attackers, he declined the Shadow-Eroding Shuttle and ordered the injured group to return to the Primal Universe while he continued on.

The Blood Cloud Palace Master appeared just as the Star River Lord was about to kill the Yan Emperor, revealed strength equal to the Star River Lord, and secured the Yan Emperor’s escape by paying a Peak Supreme Treasure as ransom.

• An unnamed Universe Master suggested that the Human Race not send the Chaos City Lord.

• Giant Axe Founder let Qie Qiong take the Myriad Star Compass on the condition that he could receive only two more free Peak armor- or weapon-type Supreme Treasures and no more Peak Domain Supreme Treasures.

Qie Qiong accepted the Myriad Star Compass from Giant Axe after giving up his special privilege of unlimited treasure exchanges, then declined to establish a faction so he could focus on breaking through. In the Snow Eagle World, he mastered the world Deity Heart and gained sight of the River of Time, leaving him closer to pursuing transcendence.
