Chapter Summaries

Chen Long and Luo Mengjie were sent back to Blue Star without being allowed to see Chen Fan, whose whereabouts remained secret. In East Sea City, Chen Ping learned from the news that his grandson was the Human Race’s top-ranked prodigy, then received word that Chen Long and Luo Mengjie were returning.

• The commander refused Luo Mengjie and Chen Long’s request to see Chen Fan, explaining that his path was under the White Emperor and eight Martial Gods’ protection.
• Li Guangming boasted to reporters that he had helped shape Chen Fan’s success as a student at East Sea Martial Arts Elementary School.

Chen Fan prepared to enter the Myriad Laws Source Realm with Gu Ci, Shen Xuan, Su Qingyue, and Tuo Bashan after learning that his parents were safe on Blue Star. A recording from his family strengthened his resolve, and he left for the realm determined to survive and fight the Alien Races' Prodigies.

• Chen Fan emerged from seclusion at the Perfection of the Organ Refining Realm and learned that Shen Xuan, Su Qingyue, and Tuo Bashan would join him in the Myriad Laws Source Realm.
• Gu Ci told Chen Fan that his parents had been moved safely to Blue Star and were under the protection of a Golden Body Realm expert.

• Chen Fan watched a recording of Chen Ping, Chen Long, and Luo Mengjie telling him they would wait for him to come home, then renewed his resolve to fight.

Chen Fan, Shen Xuan, Su Qingyue, and Tuo Bashan entered the Myriad Laws Source Realm’s core region with Gu Ci as their Dao protector. Gu Ci soon vanished to watch for interference from Golden Body Realm experts, while Chen Fan consulted the survival guide and discovered that an Origin Storm would sweep the region every twelve hours.

• Gu Ci announced he would enter the core region to protect the group from Golden Body Realm experts, while leaving peer battles to the younger generation.
• Chen Fan accepted Gu Ci’s arrangement, and the five plunged through the chaotic nebula into the core region.
• Shen Xuan and Su Qingyue struggled with the region’s intense gravity and restricted perception, while Chen Fan and Tuo Bashan endured it more easily.
• Gu Ci disappeared into the void after telling the four to survive on their own, and Chen Fan tested how the chaotic Origin Power healed a cut in the rock.
• Chen Fan used Gu Ci’s black chip to open the survival guide and found a warning that an Origin Storm would destroy anyone below the Golden Body Realm every twelve hours.

Chen Fan and his companions crossed the devastated landscape toward the Human Federation’s Guardian Zone, where they found its shield about to fall under a siege by the Demon Armor Race and Bloodfang Race. As the Human Race Prodigies prepared to fight to the death, Chen Fan calmly walked up to the enemy and asked if they had reached the human gathering point.

• Chen Fan chose to head for the Human Federation’s Guardian Zone so the group could meet fellow humans and learn more about the area.
• After an hour of travel, Su Qingyue detected a major battle ahead, and the group found hundreds of Demon Armor Race and Bloodfang Race fighters surrounding a failing human shield.
• Fewer than thirty Human Race Prodigies struggled to hold the formation while the Bloodfang Race leader threatened them and the young man with a broken sword called them to fight to the death.
• Tuo Bashan urged Chen Fan to intervene, but Chen Fan leaped down to the battlefield and politely asked whether it was the designated gathering point for humans.
• The Bloodfang Race leader mocked Chen Fan and ordered his army to attack, calling the newcomers morsels.

Chen Fan reached the Human Race Prodigies’ barrier and annihilated the allied Alien Races surrounding them, then politely asked to be let inside. Lin Jue recognized Chen Fan’s name and began to suspect who the child was.

• Chen Fan let the Bloodfang Race warriors rush him, then killed their leader with one punch and absorbed its Origin Power.
• Chen Fan charged into the allied Alien Race army and annihilated its Prodigies, including a fleeing Bloodfang Race warrior, in less than a minute.
• Chen Fan approached the barrier, knocked on it, and asked the Human Race Prodigies to open the door because he was looking for their Gathering Point.
• Lin Jue snapped out of his shock and began to connect Chen Fan’s combat power, age, and name to a startling possibility.

Chen Fan arrived at the Human Race’s Guardian Zone and learned that its barrier had nearly failed during an attack by the Bloodfang and Demon Armor Races. When the Annihilation Stele signaled that Senior Xiao was in grave danger at the Soul-Devouring Abyss, Lin Jue and the surviving prodigies begged Chen Fan to save him before the next Origin Storm.

• Lin Jue recognized Chen Fan, opened the failing protective barrier, and welcomed him and his companions into the Guardian Zone.
• Lin Jue explained that the barrier depended on the martial artists’ qi and blood and that the enemy had attacked while Senior Xiao was away.
• Chen Fan inspected the Guardian Zone and learned that the Annihilation Stele showed less than five hours remained until the next Origin Storm.
• The Annihilation Stele sent a signal for help and revealed that Senior Xiao was in peril at the Soul-Devouring Abyss.
• Lin Jue and the surviving Human Race prodigies knelt before Chen Fan and begged him to rescue Senior Xiao.

Chen Fan agreed to rescue Senior Xiao and set out with Shen Xuan and Su Qingyue for the Soul-Devouring Abyss, leaving Tuo Bashan to defend the failing stronghold. After learning the abyss held Myriad Laws Source Crystals that could help him develop his Bone Tempering Method, Chen Fan reached its edge and found its deadly power barely affected him.

• Chen Fan refused to let the wounded Lin Jue and his companions lead the rescue, then assigned Shen Xuan and Su Qingyue to accompany him while Tuo Bashan guarded the stronghold.
• Lin Jue explained that the Soul-Devouring Abyss contained abundant myriad laws origin and that Senior Xiao sought a Myriad Laws Source Crystal to perfect his Bone Tempering Method.
• Chen Fan, Shen Xuan, and Su Qingyue flew to the abyss, drawn by the prospect of acquiring the origin power Chen Fan needed.
• At the abyss's edge, Shen Xuan and Su Qingyue struggled against a chilling force that penetrated their defenses, while Chen Fan felt only a mild, refreshing coolness.

Chen Fan, Shen Xuan, and Su Qingyue descended into the abyss, where Chen Fan purified its hostile energy and devoured the shadow puppets they encountered. They reached three identical passages that all seemed to lead toward Senior Xiao’s distress signal, and Chen Fan suggested choosing one and breaking through the wall if it proved wrong.

• Chen Fan’s Myriad Dao Furnace Scripture purified the corrosive force at the abyss’s entrance, and he led Shen Xuan and Su Qingyue inside.
• Shadow puppets attacked the group in the dark passage, and Chen Fan discovered they were energy constructs linked to a will deeper in the abyss.
• Chen Fan charged through the puppets and absorbed them as nourishment while Shen Xuan and Su Qingyue watched.
• The three reached a cavern with three strange passages, and Senior Xiao’s distress signal seemed to come from all of them.
• Shen Xuan’s sword qi vanished inside one passage, while Su Qingyue’s Mental Power found only chaotic information beyond all three.
• Chen Fan proposed entering a passage and smashing through the wall to switch routes if they chose incorrectly.

Chen Fan forced an Alien Race leader to reveal how to navigate the Three Lives Road, then entered the correct passage with Shen Xuan and Su Qingyue. Outside the Soul-Devouring Abyss, Gu Ci attacked a Three-Eyed Demon who was preparing to relay Chen Fan's location and strength.

• A group of Alien Race Prodigies surrounded Chen Fan, Shen Xuan, and Su Qingyue and threatened to kill them.
• Chen Fan used Invincible Momentum to pin the attackers down and forced their leader to explain the Three Lives Road.
• Su Qingyue identified the middle passage by the faint fragrance of the Yellow Springs Flower.
• Chen Fan absorbed the attackers as nourishment for his new cultivation technique and entered the passage with Shen Xuan and Su Qingyue.
• A Three-Eyed Demon Golden Body Realm expert prepared to send Chen Fan's location and strength to his race's foremost Prodigy.
• Gu Ci attacked the expert despite his claim that the Betting Agreement protected him.

Chen Fan, Shen Xuan, and Su Qingyue endured the Yellow Springs Flower’s soul-targeting poison and an ambush by abyss creatures, which Chen Fan absorbed after cleansing his companions. When they discovered the passage led to a dead end, Chen Fan punched through the black crystal wall to open a new path.

• The Yellow Springs Fragrance weakened Shen Xuan and Su Qingyue, while Chen Fan refined the poison into nourishment for his Divine Soul.
• Abyss creatures emerged from the crystal walls and attacked Shen Xuan and Su Qingyue; Chen Fan purified their minds and slaughtered the creatures, absorbing their energy.
• Chen Fan warned that the passage likely was not an exit, and Su Qingyue confirmed that her Mental Power could not probe beyond the area ahead.
• Chen Fan rejected Shen Xuan’s suggestion to turn back and said he would punch a path through the dead end.
• Chen Fan smashed through the black crystal cliff and the rock behind it, creating a huge breach.

Chen Fan, Shen Xuan, and Su Qingyue entered the darkness beyond the crystal wall while Gu Ci fought a Golden Body expert of the Three-Eyed Demon Race outside the Soul-Devouring Abyss. Deep inside, Tong Tian planned to use Chen Fan’s Origin Power to awaken the Soul-Devouring Origin Seed, but a sudden rumble shook his cavern.

• Chen Fan punched through the crystal wall and led Shen Xuan and Su Qingyue into the darkness beyond it.
• Gu Ci rejected the Three-Eyed Demon Race expert’s threats and attacked him more viciously, forcing him into submission.
• Tong Tian learned of Chen Fan and decided to use his Origin Power to awaken the Soul-Devouring Origin Seed.
• A chained young man cursed Tong Tian, who revealed that he had used the captive to try to awaken the Origin Power.
• Tong Tian laughed about refining the Origin Seed and entering the Bone Tempering Rankings, but a sudden rumble shook the cavern.

Chen Fan and his companions found Xiao Ran trapped in a Stone Cave by Tong Tian, a powerful Three-Eyed Demon Race prodigy. Shen Xuan stepped forward to fight Tong Tian, who unleashed a destructive beam, and Shen Xuan began to counter with his folding fan.

• Chen Fan, Shen Xuan, and Su Qingyue broke through a rock wall and entered the Stone Cave, where Tong Tian recognized Chen Fan from a portrait on his jade slip.
• Xiao Ran warned Chen Fan that Tong Tian was a dangerous prodigy and urged him to flee, but Chen Fan calmly greeted Xiao Ran and dismissed Tong Tian as unimpressive.
• Chen Fan asked who wanted to fight Tong Tian, and Shen Xuan volunteered while Su Qingyue held back.
• Tong Tian grew enraged and fired a destructive black beam from his third eye at Shen Xuan.
• Shen Xuan waved his folding fan as sword-like sounds rang through the cave, then declared that Tong Tian should die.

Shen Xuan killed Tong Tian and devoured his Origin Dao Seed, while Chen Fan freed Xiao Ran from the chains. After Xiao Ran explained how Tong Tian had trapped him to draw out Soul-Devouring Origin Power, Chen Fan used overwhelming force to reach into the cavern’s depths and summon it.

• Shen Xuan appeared behind Tong Tian and killed him despite Tong Tian’s superior cultivation.
• Shen Xuan devoured Tong Tian’s Origin Dao Seed after Chen Fan said he did not want it.
• Chen Fan shattered the chains holding Xiao Ran and asked how Tong Tian had trapped him.
• Xiao Ran explained that Tong Tian had ambushed him in the Soul-Devouring Abyss to use his Origin Dao Seed to lure out Soul-Devouring Origin Power.
• Chen Fan unleashed a giant invisible hand into the cavern’s depths and commanded the Soul-Devouring Origin Power to come out.

Chen Fan refined the Soul-Devouring Origin Power, using it to advance the Myriad Dao Furnace Scripture and begin Bone Tempering. As the others waited in the cavern, a muffled boom sounded from within Chen Fan.

• Chen Fan seized the Soul-Devouring Origin Power beneath the cavern and refined it with the Myriad Dao Furnace Scripture.
• Chen Fan sensed that refining the power strengthened the scripture and began deducing its Bone Tempering Chapter.
• Chen Fan used his Invincible Momentum to suppress the Soul-Devouring Origin Power’s resistance and devoured more of it, entering Bone Tempering.
• Shen Xuan finished refining Tong Tian’s Origin Power, reassured Xiao Ran about Chen Fan, and settled down to wait with Su Qingyue and Xiao Ran.
• Chen Fan’s aura and surging Qi and Blood grew stronger until a muffled boom erupted from within his body.

Chen Fan completed One-Turn Bone Tempering and shared the remaining Soul-Devouring Origin Power with Xiao Ran, Shen Xuan, and Su Qingyue. Above the Soul-Devouring Abyss, Gu Ci killed the Three-Eyed Demon Race’s Golden Body protector and warned the other experts not to interfere.

• Chen Fan completed One-Turn Bone Tempering across all 206 bones, raising his Qi and Blood to 2,000 calories.
• Chen Fan gave the remaining Soul-Devouring Origin Power to Xiao Ran, Shen Xuan, and Su Qingyue, who began refining it.
• Gu Ci defeated the Three-Eyed Demon Race’s Golden Body protector and destroyed him with golden lightning.
• Gu Ci warned the experts in the void that anyone above Bone Tempering who intervened would share the protector’s fate.

Chen Fan returned to the Guardian Zone and learned from Xiao Ran how the Myriad Laws Source Realm’s safe zones and territory conflicts worked. After discovering that the neighboring Human Federation zone might be in trouble, Chen Fan and Shen Xuan’s group decided it was time to make another major move.

• Chen Fan brought Xiao Ran back to the Guardian Zone after knocking Tuo Bashan into a deep pit, and Lin Jue welcomed them inside.
• The Annihilation period began, with crimson waves of Myriad Laws Origin Power battering the barrier raised by the Annihilation Stele.
• Xiao Ran explained that the realm had thirty-six safe zones, twelve held by the Human Federation and its allies, and that Guardian Zones controlled territory and nearby opportunities.
• Xiao Ran said the other Human Federation zones had not answered their request for help, suggesting the neighboring zone had encountered trouble.
• Chen Fan recognized that taking more Guardian Zones could provide access to more opportunities and special Origin Power, and Shen Xuan’s group agreed it was time for another major move while Tuo Bashan eagerly anticipated fighting.

Chen Fan decided to attack a nearby hostile Guardian Zone despite Xiao Ran's warnings about its powerful Moon-Devouring Silver Wolf Clan defender. After the Annihilation Period ended, Chen Fan absorbed the concentrated Myriad Laws Origin Power and began considering how to derive a martial technique suited to him.

• Chen Fan said he planned to take territory and asked Xiao Ran to identify the closest hostile Guardian Zone.
• Xiao Ran warned that the zone belonged to the Three-Eyed Demon Race and Moon-Devouring Silver Wolf Clan, whose fighter was a Third-Turn Bone Tempering Martial Artist, but Chen Fan welcomed the challenge.
• Chen Fan told everyone to rest and set out once the Annihilation Period ended.
• When the countdown reached zero, Xiao Ran led the Human Federation Prodigies out to absorb the concentrated Myriad Laws Origin Power.
• Chen Fan used the Myriad Dao Furnace to absorb and refine the energy, then decided he needed to derive a martial technique suited to his strength.

Chen Fan and his companions reached a Guardian Zone occupied by the Moon-Devouring Silver Wolf Clan and the Three-Eyed Demon Race, where Qi Ming recognized Chen Fan and coveted his Origin Dao Seed. As Qi Ming transformed to attack, someone in Chen Fan’s group insulted him, leaving the confrontation about to begin.

• Tuo Bashan asked Shen Xuan to fight so he could deduce a Bone Tempering Method, but Chen Fan told him to wait until they reached their destination.
• Qi Ming’s clansmen praised his strength and hoped he would soon reach Fourth-Turn Bone Tempering and claim an intermediate Guardian Zone.
• Qi Ming wondered why Tong Tian had not returned from the Soul-Devouring Abyss and worried that Tong Tian might have advanced his Bone Tempering Method.
• Chen Fan arrived at the Guardian Zone with several youths, and Qi Ming learned that Chen Fan had ranked first on the Myriad Laws Ranking for his Organ Refining Method.
• Qi Ming decided that devouring Chen Fan could perfect his Bone Tempering Method, then began transforming as a silver crescent moon appeared overhead.
• A voice from Chen Fan’s group asked who was barking, just as Qi Ming prepared to attack.

Chen Fan defeated Qi Ming with his new Star Shattering move, forced him to admit he was wrong, and killed him to absorb his Origin Dao Seed. He estimated that one or two more Prodigies like Qi Ming would let him temper his bones a second time.

• Qi Ming charged Chen Fan with his Moon Devouring attack as the Moon-Devouring Silver Wolf Clan Prodigies urged him to kill Chen Fan.
• Chen Fan used Star Shattering to smash Qi Ming's face and destroy his Silver Wolf phantom.
• Chen Fan demanded that Qi Ming admit he had been wrong to call him a barking dog, and Qi Ming reluctantly agreed.
• Chen Fan killed Qi Ming with a second punch and absorbed his Origin Dao Seed into his Furnace.
• Chen Fan assessed the power he gained from Qi Ming and looked around at the stunned onlookers.

Chen Fan and his companions slaughtered the Moon-Devouring Silver Wolf Clan Prodigies in the Guardian Zone and used their Origin Dao Seeds to fuel breakthroughs. The chapter ended when the Annihilation Stele projected a message from an Alien Race leader in an intermediate Guardian Zone.

• After Chen Fan killed Qi Ming, he urged Xiao Ran and Lin Jue to gather the Origin Dao Seeds as Shen Xuan, Su Qingyue, and Tuo Bashan attacked the Moon-Devouring Silver Wolf Clan Prodigies.
