Fire Fiend learned that Lin Sheng might be the Extradimensional Creature and reported the discovery to Lord Prison Demon, while Xia Leisheng explained the Crimson Prison Society’s interest in Crimson Lightning’s Fallen Star Extreme Lightning. After seven days of recovery and cultivation, Lin Sheng met Anna again at the Advanced Cultivation Institute.

• Sha Lu convinced Fire Fiend that Lin Sheng was likely the Extradimensional Creature, and Fire Fiend ordered his forces to keep the encounter secret while he reported to Lord Prison Demon.

Anna told Lin Sheng that she would join the Falling Star’s search mission into the Endless Void in seven days, and he agreed to protect her. Meanwhile, Fire Fiend earned another chance from Prison Demon by identifying Lin Sheng as a likely target, and Cole offered Lin Sheng a lucrative position guarding Anna; Lin Sheng deferred his answer until after the expedition.

• Lin Sheng told Cole he would consider the offer after returning from the Endless Void, while suspecting the Crimson Lightning Company had seen through his disguise.

Lin Sheng met Xia Leisheng, the Fighting Association president, who gave him the Blood-Bone Heaven-Burning Art before disappearing. Back in the Crimson Lightning Company, Lin Sheng discovered the art was a complete path to Wasteland Martial and an advanced form of the Blackgold Body-Forging Art.

• Lin Sheng learned that the Blood-Bone Heaven-Burning Art built on the Blackgold Body-Forging Art and supplied powerful offensive techniques and secret burst methods.

Lin Sheng cultivated the Blood-Bone Heaven-Burning Art, discovered its likely connection to the destroyed Iron Fist Gate, and joined Anna aboard the Falling Star for a journey into the Endless Void. As the warship departed Sunstar, he sensed the many rules woven into the planet’s Heavenly Net Lockdown System.

• Lin Sheng suspected that the Blood-Bone Heaven-Burning Art came from the Iron Fist Gate and that the middle-aged man who gave it to him was connected to the faction.

Lin Sheng mastered Blood Devour aboard the Falling Star, triggering rules resonance that astonished Feya and Anna. Meanwhile, Chris learned Lin Sheng’s whereabouts and ordered an ambush for his return to Sunstar.

• Lin Sheng cultivated Blood Devour in the Falling Star’s chamber and sent a blood thread through its alloy wall, completing the killing move.

• Chris rejected a pursuit into the void and ordered his forces to monitor the Falling Star and ambush Lin Sheng at the Starport when it returned.

Lin Sheng tested his Blood Devour technique against Feya’s Spear of Sacred Thunder and found it could withstand the Lightning Rules’ destructive power. Near the Void Turbulence Zone, he left the Falling Star to cultivate alone while Anna and Feya continued the exploration mission.

• Lin Sheng and Feya sparred in the Falling Star’s training room, where his Blood Devour technique resisted her strongest attack, the Spear of Sacred Thunder.
• Feya praised the resilience of Lin Sheng’s Flesh Rule, and she told him the ship would reach the exploration area after passing through the Surrounding Starfield.
• During the voyage, the Falling Star fought off a swarm of Void Beetles and a Void Lizard, while Lin Sheng watched from aboard the ship.

• Anna and Feya warned Lin Sheng about the dangers and urged him to stay aboard, but he insisted on leaving and promised to contact them when he was done.
• Lin Sheng activated the departure sequence and leaped from the Falling Star into the violent void.

Lin Sheng discovered a flesh-rule eye of the void and mastered the Blood Extremity secret technique before continuing to search the Void Turbulence Zone for an inferno-rule eye. Deep in the region, he was ambushed by a gray-black creature and turned to face it.

• Lin Sheng followed the pull of his flesh affinity talent to a vast flesh-rule eye of the void.
• Lin Sheng cultivated Blood Extremity in the vortex for seven days, raising his strength and constitution by six points when the technique was activated.
• Lin Sheng left the flesh-rule eye and resumed searching the increasingly dangerous Void Turbulence Zone for an inferno-rule eye.
• Lin Sheng sensed a sudden threat and punched a gray-black figure, sending it flying as its spikes tore his protective suit.

Lin Sheng defeated a highly intelligent Meltform Phantom born in the Disordered Region and learned that it knew where the Inferno Eye was. He spared the creature on the condition that it guide him there, and it began giving directions.

• A Meltform Phantom ambushed Lin Sheng, attacking with shifting forms and fused rules while its decay power wounded him.
• Lin Sheng unleashed his secret skills, overcame the phantom's decay assault, and repeatedly shattered its body before burning most of its slime with Inferno Black Flame.
• The Meltform Phantom pleaded for its life, and Lin Sheng learned from the panel that it was a Void Beast life-form derived from the illusionary change will.
• Lin Sheng questioned the phantom and discovered it had been born in the Disordered Region, knew the surrounding area, and had encountered humans and Void beings.
• After the Meltform Phantom identified the Inferno Eye as the Big Black Eye, Lin Sheng spared it and forced it to lead the way.

Lin Sheng absorbed the Meltform Phantom’s power and used Boundless Fusion to cross the rule storms, reaching a region where the great wills’ Eyes of the Void gathered. He began cultivating inside the Inferno Eye to condense his inferno true body, while the Meltform Phantom remained astonished by his abilities.

• Lin Sheng released the Meltform Phantom, then absorbed its meltform power when it tried to escape and gained its Boundless Fusion talent.
• Lin Sheng used his new meltform ability to traverse the rule turbulence safely, with the Meltform Phantom obediently guiding him for three days.

• Lin Sheng entered the enormous Inferno Eye, summoned the Purgatory Eerie Beast, and began rapidly condensing his inferno true body with the Thousand Tribulations Ashen Wheel Sutra.

Lin Sheng broke through in the Inferno Eye and fused inferno and flesh divine astral force into a new power he named Hellblood Astral Force. After deciding to keep the Meltform Phantom alive, he demanded its service, and the chapter ended with the phantom offering him a wisp of its true nature as a way to bind it.

• Lin Sheng absorbed the Inferno Eye’s power, broke through to the Erosion Martial Realm, and fused inferno and flesh divine astral force into Hellblood Astral Force.
• Lin Sheng tested the new power by destroying an earth-rules meteorite and judged that he could protect himself against a Fighter at the fourth limit break, though he would likely lose to Cole.
• Lin Sheng decided not to explore the other Rules Eyes and refused to release the Meltform Phantom after it had tried to escape.
• Lin Sheng crushed the Meltform Phantom until it agreed to become his servant, then considered killing it because he lacked a way to control it.
• The Meltform Phantom offered Lin Sheng a wisp of its true nature, which would let him sense its location and potentially destroy its true spirit.

Lin Sheng subdued the Meltform Phantom by taking control of its true nature, while the Falling Star traveled toward the Disordered Region to find him. After Mercury's Gaze began pursuing the ship, Lin Sheng's protective-suit signal failed, and Feya agreed to take the Falling Star into the region to search for him.

• Lin Sheng absorbed the Meltform Phantom's true nature and made it his servant before leaving the Inferno Eye.
• Feya and Anna left the asteroid aboard the Falling Star and set course for the Disordered Region after Anna expressed concern for Lin Sheng.
• A silver eye watched the Falling Star from the asteroid, while Captain Stoffer ordered Mercury's Gaze's four warships to pursue it in stealth.
• After five days, the Falling Star neared the Disordered Region, and Lin Sheng's protective-suit signal began showing severe damage and dangerous energy fluctuations.
• Anna begged Feya to search for Lin Sheng, and Feya agreed to enter the outer area and retreat if the turbulence became too dangerous.

Lin Sheng and the Meltform Phantom survived a devastating void storm, while Feya searched for Lin Sheng aboard the damaged Falling Star. Mercury's Gaze caught up with the ship and attacked as Feya raced toward the edge of the disturbed region.

• Feya ordered the Falling Star deeper into the disturbed region to search for Lin Sheng, while Stoffer led Mercury's Gaze into the region after its tracking signal vanished.
• Lin Sheng escaped a massive void storm with the Meltform Phantom, but his protective suit was destroyed and he lost contact with the Falling Star.
• Lin Sheng chose to leave the disturbed region and fled with the Meltform Phantom as the storm expanded behind them.
• Anna urged Feya to keep searching for Lin Sheng, but the Falling Star's shields and engines were weakening in the turbulence.
• Feya detected four Mercury's Gaze warships approaching and ordered the Falling Star to flee at full speed toward the region's edge.
• Stoffer ordered his fleet to pursue and attack, and the Falling Star's shields began rapidly losing energy under fire.

Feya turned the Falling Star toward a void storm rather than let Mercury's Gaze capture it, but Lin Sheng appeared inside the storm and protected the ship. After the Meltform Phantom carried the Falling Star to safety, Lin Sheng entered the vessel.

• Feya stopped fleeing and ordered the Falling Star to face Mercury's Gaze, but Stoffer's Mercury Network disrupted its energy circuits and weapons.
• Feya saw Stoffer and several Fighters approach, then drove the Falling Star toward the expanding void storm rather than surrender it to the cultists.
• Lin Sheng appeared within the storm, where its destructive force parted around him and left the Falling Star unharmed; Stoffer recognized his apparent wasteland martial strength and fled.
• Lin Sheng ordered the Meltform Phantom to carry the Falling Star out of the storm, and the Phantom enveloped the ship and brought it to safety.
• The Meltform Phantom claimed the rescue had cost him much of his essence, but Lin Sheng saw through the act and threatened to make the loss real.
• Lin Sheng entered the Falling Star through its opened hatch.
