• Chen Feng hid beneath the coastline until the search moved away, then disguised himself and traveled through the forests toward another city.
• Chen Feng assessed his gains, including progress in Steel Bone and Green Armor, and upgraded Heart of Glory; the Holy Shield Giant's second transformation would require Earth Vein Power and leave it unable to act during that stage.
• Chen Feng avoided a city checkpoint, took an abandoned flying car toward Nanjiang, destroyed it and buried the evidence, then returned to the Martial Arts Hall and checked his phone.

After Utopia assassinated Speaker Luo Wantao, Chen Feng concealed his involvement during Nanjiang’s emergency meeting and tested the newly enhanced Holy Shield Giant in the Dream Realm.

• Chen Feng and the Holy Shield Giant fought through the Black Tide at Green Port City's breached High Wall, where he saw the surrounding Black Mist revive creatures that had already been killed.
• Chen Feng awoke from the Dream Realm and reasoned that reviving powerful creatures must carry a cost, while wondering whether his Heart of Life's Mark could eventually stop their resurrection.

• The Red Generals prepared to question a Nanjiang Councilor, and the lean Red General asked what his companion would do if that person were connected to the matter.

Red General Sun and Red General Yu questioned Chen Feng about Speaker Luo’s assassination, then explained why consciousness uploads and clones were forbidden or distrusted in the Chi Kingdom. After the officials left, Chen Feng wondered whether Luo Wantao’s investigator had uncovered his role in Luo Hui’s murder.

• Red General Yu and Red General Sun arrived at Yan Wu Academy, where they were welcomed by Chu Shihong and brought to meet Chen Feng.
• Red General Sun used an advanced Lie Detector to question Chen Feng about his grievance against Speaker Luo and the Yungang assassination; Chen Feng denied working with Utopia, and the device showed normal readings.
• After the questioning, Red General Yu and Chu Shihong explained that a disastrous Clone Incident had led to strict bans and that some powerful people chose not to upload their consciousness.
• Chen Feng realized that the Chi Kingdom’s upper ranks controlled the Virtual Deep Seas and considered how uploaded consciousness could threaten personal freedom.
• After seeing the Red Generals off, Chen Feng questioned whether Luo Wantao’s investigator had discovered the truth about Luo Hui’s murder.

In the Snake Spirit Secret Realm, Carrie’s team discovered three Saints guarding the Barrier, and Chen Feng’s Outsider form finally appeared before the Black-Robed Saint.

• Wu Zong emerged as a newly modified Flying General and learned that Speaker Luo had been assassinated.
• Chen Feng sent No.1 toward Suro and Nido and No.4 north to search for Earth Vein Power for the Holy Shield Giant, while No.3 continued searching the Nanjiang Suburbs for the Evil God Church.
• Carrie used her ability to communicate with vegetation and discovered at least three Saints near the Blood-colored Barrier, but she chose to wait because she expected Chen Feng to appear.
• The Black-Robed Saint refused to leave for the Sacrificial Ceremony and told the Snake Men that the Outsider would return.
• Chen Feng appeared halfway up the Blood-colored Barrier, and the Black-Robed Saint recognized him and declared his intent to kill him.

Chen Feng fought the Snake God Temple’s Saints and broke through the blood-colored Barrier with help from Carrie and the Holy City’s forces. As the Barrier collapsed, its power flooded into the lake, where a mysterious presence addressed Chen Feng as an outsider human.

• Chen Feng was trapped by the Barrier’s chains and attacked by a Winged Snake Saint Beast and a Snake-man Saint wielding a giant axe.
• Chen Feng summoned Bai Hui, who struck down the Snake-man Saint, while Carrie and Holy City elites attacked the camp and weakened the Barrier.
• Carrie used a silver dagger’s golden sword light to open a crack in the Barrier, but Saint Man Gu invoked the Temple Token and a Winged Snake phantom began closing it.
• Chen Feng and the Holy Shield Giant broke through the weakened Barrier as it crumbled and poured its power into the lake.
• The lake parted and the pierced brown Winged Snake floated upward, addressing Chen Feng as an outsider human.

Chen Feng and the Holy City warriors defeated the revived Winged Snake King and wiped out the Snake-man Camp, including Saint Man Gu. He agreed to travel with Carrie to the Holy City, while sensing that a powerful presence in the Snake Spirit Secret Realm had marked him and noting several gains from the battle.

• The Winged Snake King revived and attacked Chen Feng, but the Holy Shield Giant overpowered it and Chen Feng destroyed its phantom.

• Carrie invited Chen Feng to the Holy City, and he agreed in pursuit of the remaining portion of the Holy Flame Awakening Method.
• As the group traveled, Chen Feng sensed stronger malice from the Snake Spirit Secret Realm and gained Life Essence, Glory Value, and a Green Armor level.

Chen Feng returned to Holy City with Carrie and O'Long, finding it under renewed attack by the Snake Men and learning about the Angels and Angel Kings behind their threat. After receiving two Snake Spirit Fruits, he tested his improved Green Armor and discovered stronger defenses, a slashing effect from his Blood-Winged Wings, and the new Gravity Well technique; he then wondered how it would combine with Storm's Wrath.

• At the Snake God Temple, the White Bones tokens for a Saint and Man Gu cracked beneath their Stone Statues, alarming the praying Snake Men.
• Carrie led an attack on a Snake Man group as Chen Feng and O'Long discussed the Snake Men’s gathering forces and learned that the Snake God Temple had at least seven Saint elders and a Grand Elder said to be above Saints.
• Carrie explained that the Snake Men’s Angels were absent or asleep and that the Grand Elder was only a Pseudo-Angel, before the group reached Holy City and found the aftermath of another battle.
• Carrie promised Chen Feng the complete Holy Flame Method, and Molly returned the two Snake Spirit Fruits he had entrusted to her.
• Chen Feng tested Green Armor and discovered enhanced strength and defense, Blood-Winged Wings that could perform Vacuum Slash, and a Super-Limit State technique called Gravity Well.
• Chen Feng considered combining Gravity Well with Storm's Wrath.

• Chen Feng asked Adams about Aronke, and Adams revealed that Aronke had once helped Holy City repel a Snake-man Angel.
• Chen Feng examined the Holy Spirit Essence, noticed its flawless effects, and drank it.

Chen Feng crossed into the Sixth Order, sensed the Human Body Limit, and failed his first attempt at Transcendence before the Heart of Life healed him. He resolved to strengthen his Legendary Marks through events in reality, while preparations began for Li Tong’s celebration and Gete decided to enter the World Fighting Tournament.

• Chen Feng’s Holy Spirit Essence greatly improved his attributes, pushing him into the Sixth Order and bringing his physique to its limit.
• Chen Feng attempted World Resonance using his Legendary Marks, but his will and real-world connections proved insufficient; the backlash injured him until the Heart of Life healed him.
• Chen Feng concluded that he needed to reach his limits fully and create stronger Legendary Marks in reality, and he saw the Star Palace invitation to the World Fighting Tournament as an opportunity.
• Cao Tong told Chen Feng that guests, including Han Chao and representatives of the Holy Gate, were coming to Nanjiang for Li Tong’s Grandmaster celebration.
• Chen Feng used the Small Stone Statues to search for a suitable location for the Holy Shield Giant, but Snow Peak Mountain and Dova Snow Mountain proved unsuitable.
• Gete refused Shiva’s request to reconsider and chose to attend the World Fighting Tournament in Nido, hoping to take the final half-step toward the Extreme Realm.

Chen Feng attended a council meeting where officials prepared for the Yaoguang Secret Realm’s migration and assigned Red General Sun to investigate Evil God Church activity. A vision then revealed the cult preparing a blood ritual in a Nanjiang cave, where its leaders decided to target martial artists for sacrifices before a gray-white figure arrived.

• Chen Feng arrived at the Nanjiang City Joint Council and heard that councilors were seeking high-grade Modification Modules from major corporations.
• Chu Shihong announced that Red General Sun would lead investigations into the Evil God Church and that Yaoguang Secret Realm’s Energy Node was expected to migrate at the end of next month.
• Chu Shihong told Chen Feng that the military would likely take control of Yaoguang Secret Realm and advised him to be cautious in Nido.
• Chen Feng saw through the No.3 Small Stone Statue a hidden cave where Black Robe Figures were draining captives into a Blood Pool for a ritual.
• A black bat ordered the cultists to leave because the Chi Kingdom Joint Council had noticed their activity, then proposed collecting martial artists as sacrifices at an upcoming Nanjiang opportunity.
• The black-robed woman accepted the bat’s plan, the cultists left the cave, and a gray-white figure flew inside.

Chen Feng investigated an abandoned Church of the Dead hideout, then fought Black Tide Creatures in Green Port City and gained the Thunderclap Skill. A note from the past linked the Calamity Secret Realm to Green Port City’s history, leaving Chen Feng considering what that realm might offer as enemies closed in.

• Chen Feng anonymously alerted the Security Bureau to a blood-filled cave, where Red General Sun Ling arrived too late to find its occupants.
• Chen Feng returned toward the Flame Tiger Style’s Mountain Gate and saw the High Wall nearing completion as he considered whether the Yaoguang Secret Realm had drawn the Church of the Dead to Nanjiang.
• During the Black Tide assault, the Holy Shield Giant killed a Sixth Order Horned Crocodile while Chen Feng defended the Martial Arts Hall and absorbed a Thunderclap Skill Light Orb.
• Chen Feng learned the Thunderclap Skill’s movement techniques and drew in two more Thunderclap Light Orbs before Aberrant Creatures broke into the hall.
• Chen Feng found a note describing events in the Calamity Secret Realm and inferred that Green Port City’s past lay more than a century behind the Snake Spirit Secret Realm.
• Chen Feng considered the Calamity Secret Realm’s possible technological civilization as Non-Human Creatures charged toward him.

As guests gathered to celebrate Li Tong’s breakthrough, Chen Feng enhanced his Thunderclap Skill and pushed his agility to its limit before joining the reception. The celebration was interrupted when a black-robed woman and a Wide-Brimmed Hat Man began trapping the Flame Tiger Style and its guests beneath a dark barrier.

• Guests and Grandmasters arrived at the Flame Tiger Style to congratulate Li Tong, while Zhang Guiyuan and other disciples helped receive them.
• Chen Feng spent forty Limit Break orbs to advance his Thunderclap Skill, boosting his burst speed and bringing his agility to its limit.
• Chen Feng joined the gathering and took his place beside Li Tong, who remained seated as the celebration’s guest of honor.
• A black-robed woman and a Wide-Brimmed Hat Man gathered with their servants below the school and planned to slaughter the assembled martial artists.
• The Wide-Brimmed Hat Man activated a Wooden Carving that spread a dark barrier toward the Flame Tiger Style as the black-robed woman headed for the mountain.

A black barrier created by Evil God power trapped Chen Feng and the guests at the Flame Tiger Style's Mountain Gate, while its influence drove ordinary people to attack others. Chen Feng confronted the black-robed attackers and launched his Scarlet Tiger Flying Heaven at their leader.

• Zhao Ling argued against visiting Chen Feng, but her master insisted that the young Martial Dao Apex Realm genius could help advance martial arts.
• A hemispherical barrier of black light surrounded the Mountain Gate, and Meili identified it as likely Evil God power after her attack failed to break through.
• A guest under the barrier's influence tried to stab Chen Feng, and other ordinary guests soon went mad until Chen Feng's spiritual pressure knocked them unconscious.
• A black-robed woman and her followers appeared outside the Mountain Gate, and she called Chen Feng a sacrifice for her lord.
• Meili attacked the woman, but a Yao Level Vajra caught her Flying Shuttle and sent it back toward her.
• Chen Feng caught and broke the Flying Shuttle, blasted the black-robed attackers away, and unleashed Scarlet Tiger Flying Heaven at the woman.

Chen Feng fought the Evil God Church attackers inside Flame Tiger Style’s barrier while Han Chao and Old Leader Zhang tried to assess the situation from outside. After discovering that the enemies’ resurrection power depended on the barrier, Chen Feng struck it down, leaving the battle’s outcome unresolved.

• A black-robed woman attacked Chen Feng, but he overpowered her and drew out the Wide-Brimmed Hat Man, whose strength reached the Sixth Order.
• The barrier resurrected the black-robed attackers, while Han Chao identified it as an Evil God Church energy barrier and called for reinforcements.
• Chen Feng returned to the courtyard, defeated the revived attackers, and repeatedly smashed the Wide-Brimmed Hat Man into the ground.
• The Wide-Brimmed Hat Man transformed into a demonic Bat Man and boasted of the power granted by his lord.
• Chen Feng sensed the barrier’s resurrection energy weakening, then struck it with a daylight-bright punch until it cracked.

Chen Feng defeated the Sixth Order Bat Man after breaking through the Flame Tiger Style’s barrier and overwhelming him with his strength and Storm’s Wrath. When the Bat Man tried to self-destruct, Chen Feng tore him apart and survived, then received Old Leader Zhang’s thanks and congratulations at the devastated Mountain Gate.

• Chen Feng broke through the Flame Tiger Style’s barrier while enduring the Bat Man’s scarlet beam, then launched a rapid assault that drove the Sixth Order Bat Man toward the Back Mountain.
• Chen Feng blocked the Bat Man’s beam, pursued him into the air, seized his ankle, and used Storm’s Wrath to interrupt his escape.
• Chen Feng struck the Bat Man with a meteor-like dive, piercing his chest and leaving him wounded enough to attempt self-destruction.
• Chen Feng grabbed the Bat Man’s shoulder and horn and tore his body apart before the self-destruction could take effect; the Heart of Life concealed the danger and the remains turned to ash.
• Zhao Tingxiao, Li Tong, and the other disciples checked on Chen Feng, who assured them he was unharmed as the military aircraft landed.
• Old Leader Zhang congratulated Chen Feng and exchanged courtesies with him, while Zhou Wuren reminded Junior Sister Zhao that Chen Feng could not be judged by common standards.

After defeating the Evil God Church’s Bat Man, Chen Feng discussed the limits and methods of New Martial Arts with Old Leader Zhang and the Grandmasters. He learned that Yang Wudi had vanished after being ambushed in Nido, then concluded that New Martial Arts might not match the Transcendence Method as he watched Holy Gate’s party depart.

• Sun Ling and the arriving Security Bureau, military, and Red General Guard personnel inspected the wrecked Flame Tiger Style mountain gate and began investigating the Evil God Church.
• Old Leader Zhang suggested that Chen Feng had crossed the Extreme Realm’s bottleneck, and Chen Feng neither confirmed nor denied it.
• Zhou Wuren demonstrated New Martial Arts by channeling force into a distant pond, while Old Leader Zhang explained that the method used spiritual will to resonate with heaven and earth and draw on elemental power.
• Chen Feng noticed that New Martial Arts placed a burden on its practitioners, and Old Leader Zhang admitted that the method had flaws and could not be sustained for long.
• Han Chao revealed that Yang Wudi had disappeared after Lion King, Gun King Grel, and the Divine Martial Alliance’s leader ambushed him in Botan City, Nido.
• After the others left, Chen Feng told Li Tong he was unconcerned and judged that New Martial Arts might not be the true path forward; he then noticed a new point of light and fresh notifications on his panel.

After gaining the Black Dream Space ability, Chen Feng learned that the Tulip and Steel Kingdoms had begun fighting over Hurricane Island and prepared for his upcoming trip to Nido. He entered seclusion determined to reach every limit before the journey.

• Old Leader Zhang concluded that Whale Flow Grandmaster had been testing Chen Feng’s willingness to share his martial arts methods and that Chen Feng might have found a path like New Martial Arts.
• Chen Feng decided he might spread some Extraordinary Martial Arts methods through the Flame Tiger Style, then discovered that his Black Dream Imprint could store Secret Realm items for use in other Dream Realms.
• Gata showed Chen Feng the naval battle between the Tulip Kingdom and the Steel Kingdom near Hurricane Island, where Lei Long and Te Lin feared they might be unable to leave safely.
• Lei Long’s report revealed that the Red Dragon Family’s Saint had left and the Hurricane Lord had not appeared, so Chen Feng told his people to seek refuge near Fishman Bay if necessary.
• Chen Feng instructed others not to disturb him and entered seclusion with the Serpent Spirit Mark, determined to reach every limit before traveling to Nido.
