• Chen Feng examined the Spatial Ring and found it contained a space one hundred square meters wide and three meters high.

Chen Feng and his companions mined a vast deposit of Ice Origin Stones and used the Spatial Ring he had won from Yan Tiandu to store their fortune. They planned to sell the stones and divide the proceeds, giving Chen Feng and Lu Xuan larger shares for their contributions.

• Chen Feng led the group back to the ice mountain and organized them to mine the remaining Ice Origin Stones.
• The six companions worked through the night, using their martial souls and abilities to excavate the deposit.

• Chen Feng activated the Spatial Ring and stored the Origin Stones, while the group planned to sell them and divide the money after the expedition.

After discussing Spatial Rings and the human race’s cultivation realms, Chen Feng’s group decided to continue their training by heading toward the sea. On the way, Chen Feng developed a new idea for strengthening the Bewitching Demon Tree’s illusion attack and asked Li Jian to help him test it.

• Huo Kong, Shi Wang, and Lu Xuan explained why Spatial Rings were rare and outlined the human race’s cultivation realms, which made Chen Feng yearn for greater strength and a longer lifespan.

• Chen Feng suggested heading to the sea, where the group could continue training and encounter demon beasts.
• While traveling, Chen Feng studied the Spatial Ring and the Bodhi Divine Tree, then realized he could intensify the Bewitching Demon Tree’s illusions by destroying one of its parts.
• Chen Feng summoned the Bewitching Demon Tree, shattered one leaf, and asked Li Jian to help him test the resulting illusion energy.

Chen Feng discovered that destroying the Bewitching Demon Tree's leaves unleashed powerful mental attacks, then continued toward the sea with his companions. Unbeknownst to them, a Fishman Race man and a Flying Yaksa waited on an island, plotting to kill Chen Feng and Yan Tiandu for a human patron.

• Chen Feng used the shattered leaves of his Bewitching Demon Tree to overwhelm Li Jian with a mental attack, then restored the leaves and explained the Martial Soul's regenerative nature.
• Li Jian realized he had been helpless under Chen Feng's illusion, and Shi Wang joked about how dangerous the ability would be against a beautiful woman.
• Chen Feng and his companions headed toward the sea as Zhao Muyun and two other experts observed them from a separate-dimensional space and decided to keep following them.
• On an island, a Fishman Race man and a Flying Yaksa discussed killing Chen Feng and Yan Tiandu in exchange for eight remaining pieces of Malevolent Spirit Wood.
• The Fishman Race man and the Flying Yaksa decided to wait in their sea region rather than risk approaching the Human Race base.

Rayles and Xibier arranged to draw Zhao Muyun and the other human experts into a battle against the Rakshasa, leaving Chen Feng without protection while they plotted to kill him. Unaware of the threat, Chen Feng and his companions reached Rakshasa Star’s seashore, where they found hundreds of students resting, including Guo Rong.

• Rayles ordered Zhao Muyun and the other experts to fight the Rakshasa, and they pursued a Rakshasa King toward its main camp.
• Rayles told Xibier that the battle would keep the experts away from Chen Feng long enough for him to be killed.
• Chen Feng and his companions discussed Rakshasa Star’s ocean, sun, resources, and humanity’s future as they approached the beach.
• Chen Feng’s group found hundreds of students relaxing on the beach, and Guo Rong recognized that Chen Feng’s team had survived unharmed.

Chen Feng and his companions sailed toward the islands to hunt demonic beasts, but a fishman identified Chen Feng as a target and summoned a Flying Yaksa to kill him. Chen Feng lured the two Transcendence Realm attackers away from the students, while Shi Wang prepared to seek help from Wushen University.

• Chen Feng learned about the sea's demonic beasts and chose to sail toward the islands with Shi Wang and the others.
• A fishman spotted Chen Feng, reported his location, and received a Demonic Core as a reward for finding him.
• A fishman and a Flying Yaksa carrying a portrait of Chen Feng flew out to pursue him and attacked as he sailed offshore.
• Chen Feng sensed their killing intent, pushed his companions' boat toward shore, and flew away from them to draw the two demons after him.
• Shi Wang worried that the attackers might be stronger than Transcendence Realm experts, while Lu Xuan judged their auras to be at that level.
• Shi Wang decided to notify Wushen University, calling the attack a targeted alien killing rather than part of the trial.

Shi Wang and the others lost contact with the human base and feared Chen Feng had been killed, while Lu Xuan insisted he could survive. At sea, Chen Feng faced the two Transcendence Realm Demon Humans and unleashed the Bewitching Demon Tree’s illusion attack as they struck.

• Shi Wang and the others discovered that the signal tower had been destroyed, so Li Jian and Jiang Shiran left to seek reinforcements while the rest waited by the sea.
• Lu Xuan argued that Chen Feng was stronger than the two pursuers because he had defeated Yan Tiandu, and Shi Wang and the others took heart from her confidence.
• Chen Feng planned to exploit his Mental Attacks to trap the two Demon Humans in an illusion and kill them while they were defenseless.
• The Flying Yaksa and the Fishman man attacked Chen Feng with powerful energy beams, but he dodged their strikes over the sea.
• When the Demon Humans charged with a bone spike and a trident, Chen Feng summoned three divine trees and sent fragments of the Bewitching Demon Tree into their minds.

Chen Feng killed the two Transcendence Realm Demon Humans who had attacked him and returned to his teammates. He learned that Jiang Shiran and Li Jian had gone to report the attack, then hurried after them while the others waited.

• Chen Feng used the Bewitching Demon Tree's Mental Attack to kill two Transcendence Realm experts, collected their weapons and Malevolent Spirit Wood, and suspected a cloaked human might have ordered the attack.

• Shi Wang said Jiang Shiran and Li Jian had gone to report the attack, but Chen Feng told the others to wait and flew off to find them.
• Jiang Shiran and Li Jian raced toward the human base to warn the military that alien experts had deliberately targeted Chen Feng, while Li Jian discarded his sack to run faster.
• The chapter revealed that the teachers had been sent away to fight a Rakshasa assault and that Jiang Nalan and others were occupied by conflicts among racial factions.

Chen Feng reunited with Jiang Shiran, Li Jian, and the others after killing two Demon Humans, then continued deeper into the trial alone. He slaughtered a group of Fishmen on an island while Rayles waited for his backup assassins to kill him.

• Chen Feng caught up with Jiang Shiran and Li Jian, told them he had killed the two Demon Humans, and warned them not to return to the human base.

Yan Tiandu killed Fishmen while honing his newly awakened power, then was ambushed by a masked Transcendence expert who wielded the Space Law Source. Yan Tiandu revealed his own fire Law Source, defeated the attacker, and beheaded him.

• Yan Tiandu accumulated merits in the caverns by burning Fishmen and used the fights to familiarize himself with his Dao Fire Spirit Body’s power.
• A masked man ambushed Yan Tiandu near the shore and attacked him with sword auras.

• Yan Tiandu revealed that he had mastered a fire-element Law Source and fought the man through dozens of exchanges.
• Yan Tiandu pierced the man’s chest with his fire Law Source and flames, then beheaded him.

Yan Tiandu killed a Transcendent expert and gained confidence after grasping the source of laws, while Chen Feng encountered Randy, who warned him that a hooded Transcendent expert was hunting him over the Ancestral Dragon Bone competition. The attacker struck Chen Feng with a powerful water-based technique, leaving him battered as Randy offered to help.

• Chen Feng's flying swords failed to stop the attack, and Randy offered to help him before the chapter ended.

Chen Feng defeated a Law Source assassin sent by Ou Manor’s upper ranks, then used the Life Divine Tree’s essence to break through to the early Transcendent stage. He left the sea cave stronger but still determined to uncover who ordered the attack.

• Chen Feng used his three Divine Tree Martial Souls to disrupt the hooded Law Source powerhouse, drain his strength, and kill him.
• Chen Feng learned the assassin had received orders from humanity’s upper ranks but did not know who specifically had sent him; the Life Divine Tree absorbed the man’s water-element Law Source.
• Randy praised Chen Feng’s martial soul, defended his choice to speak honestly, and agreed to face Chen Feng in a match three years later over the Ancestral Dragon Bone.
• Chen Feng returned to shore, entered a rocky cave, and cultivated with the Life Essence absorbed by the Life Divine Tree.
• After five days of cultivation, Chen Feng broke through to the early Transcendent stage, greatly increasing his yuan energy and Soul Power.

After breaking through to the Transcendence Realm, Chen Feng strengthened his sword qi and discovered that the Life Divine Tree had begun producing Spirit Spring Water, which rapidly purified and stabilized his body. He tested his new power and decided to focus on the Myriad Sword Art and his Divine Tree Martial Souls before summoning his fourth Martial Soul.

• Chen Feng's Myriad Sword Art expanded to one thousand swords after his breakthrough, and his internal vital energy made their sword qi more powerful and independent.

• Chen Feng abandoned his lesser techniques and decided to summon his fourth Martial Soul.

Chen Feng reached the deep sea of Rakshasa Star and discovered a human offshore oil mine protected by several defensive formations. As the workers discussed their lonely, precarious lives far from home, Old Li spotted someone flying over the ocean.

• Chen Feng found that his Transcendence-level Soul Power still could not activate the fourth divine tree, then decided to be patient.
• Chen Feng flew far across the darkening sea and discovered a vast offshore Oil Mine floating above the water.
• Chen Feng observed the mine's protective formations and watched its workers endure isolation and attacks from creatures while earning money for their families.
• Old Wang and the other workers discussed their wages, their hopes of returning to Blue Star, and their fears that humanity might abandon them if its base on Rakshasa Star fell.
• Old Li pointed toward the distant sky and excitedly asked Old Wang whether he could see a person.

Chen Feng explored Rakshasa Star’s ocean after meeting human oil workers, using his Transcendence Realm strength to withstand sea creatures and kill Fishman Race attackers. As the hundred-day training period ended, he returned to shore and wondered whether he or the mysterious Randy had earned first place.

• Chen Feng met Old Wang, Old Li, and their coworkers, who were amazed to encounter a young human Transcendence Realm expert before returning to work.
• Chen Feng dove into the sea, explored its ecosystem, endured attacks from a shark and piranhas, and overpowered a Flood Dragon before letting it flee.

• Chen Feng returned to shore as the hundred-day training period ended and estimated that his merits would be close to thirty-seven thousand.
• Chen Feng saw students heading back and wondered whether he or Randy would claim first place.

Chen Feng reunited with Jiang Shiran and the others after breaking through to the Transcendence Realm, while Yan Tiandu and Randy were also revealed to have reached it. After the Rakshasa conflict ended and the students’ merit points were reviewed, Chen Feng’s records of killing two Transcendence Realm enemies prompted officials to contact Zhao Muyun.

• Chen Feng reviewed his gains, then flew to reunite with Jiang Shiran, Lu Xuan, Shi Wang, and Li Jian, who were excited to learn he had reached the Transcendence Realm.
• Guo Rong and the others saw Chen Feng flying overhead, then witnessed Yan Tiandu and Randy flying without wings, confirming that both had also reached Transcendence.
• Humanity’s forces defeated the Rakshasa, with Zhao Muyun crushing the Rakshasa King, and the students eventually gathered at the original meeting point as their communications returned.
• The students’ merit points were updated after a day of waiting, and Chen Feng’s total reached thirty-six thousand, with credit for two Transcendence Realm kills still under review.
• Review staff questioned Chen Feng’s claims that he had killed a Transcendence Realm Flying Yaksa and Fishman Race expert, so the director called Zhao Muyun.
