Chapter Summaries

Lin Zhen used An Da’s arrogance and the transmission countdown to prepare a sudden counterattack. As Lone Star Angler’s transmission took An Da away, Lin Zhen had severed his arm and seized the Moon Ring, while An Da vowed to settle their score later.

• An Da pursued Lin Zhen while mocking him, unaware that Lin Zhen was stalling until Lone Star Angler’s transmission arrived.

• Lone Star Angler’s transmission carried An Da away, leaving him furious and vowing to seek revenge after Lin Zhen became a God King.

Lin Zhen claimed the Moon Ring and Fire Crane Divine Sword, then hunted down hidden onlookers before retreating into Mirror Lake to recover from the Dominator's Liquid. As Lin Zhen sorted his spoils and prepared to challenge the Heaven Reaching Platform, Ge Lin arrived at the battle site and set his sights on the Primal Chaos Armor.

• Lin Zhen combined the Sun Ring, Moon Ring, and Star Ring into the Superior Grade Sun Moon Star Ring and took stock of his other spoils.

• Ge Lin arrived at the ravaged battlefield and concluded that he and Lin Zhen were the only contenders with eight Dominator Imperial Seals each for the Primal Chaos Armor.
• Ge Lin decided he would not yield the Primal Chaos Armor to Lin Zhen and planned to find Feng Manlou, who held one Dominator Imperial Seal.

The Tree Demon King prepared a trap for Lin Zhen, while Ge Lin avoided it after learning the truth from his father, Maple Forest Hermit. After three years of cultivation beneath Mirror Lake, Lin Zhen passed the Twenty-third Layer of the Heaven Reaching Platform and discovered that his Treasure Hunting Vine and Star Fruit Tree had changed.

• The Tree Demon King told his companions that he expected Lin Zhen to emerge from seclusion soon and fall for the staged reports about Feng Manlou finding treasures.

• Lin Zhen prepared to nurture another clone but noticed that his Treasure Hunting Vine had transformed and its treasure-hunting range had expanded to ten thousand kilometers, while his Star Fruit Tree had changed even more.

Lin Zhen comprehended the Wood Element and created a Wood Element God Clone, then sensed a conspiracy and stayed in seclusion to learn the Outer Lion Seal.

Garcia trapped Lin Zhen and the Profound Yellow Pagoda in an energy bubble, hoping to seize Lin Zhen’s treasures and settle the Northern Territory Alliance’s score with him. Lin Zhen awakened inside the bubble, and his terrifying aura made Garcia recoil.

• Garcia’s underwater searchers spotted Lin Zhen cultivating beneath Mirror Lake inside the Profound Yellow Pagoda.
• Garcia decided to trap Lin Zhen with his Wandering Satellite’s energy shield before Lin Zhen could react.
• Garcia used five million points’ worth of Energy Blocks to enclose Lin Zhen, the pagoda, and the surrounding soil in a bubble, then retrieved it into the satellite.
• Garcia confronted Lin Zhen through the bubble and demanded they settle their score, expecting Lin Zhen to negotiate for his freedom.
• Lin Zhen formed intricate hand seals, opened his eyes, and released a ferocious aura that made Garcia break into a cold sweat and step back.

Lin Zhen broke Garcia’s protective bubble, Soul Locked him, and took control of the Wandering Satellite. Through Garcia, he accessed the Northern Territory Alliance marketplace and found several powerful items for sale.

• Lin Zhen shattered Garcia’s bubble with the Outer Lion Seal and confronted the stunned Quasi God King.

• Lin Zhen found Flying Palaces, a Red Sun Halo domain Armament, and a pair of high-grade Demon God Wings listed for sale.

Lin Zhen bought the Demon God Wings with help from Garcia and gained a major boost to his flight speed and defense. With his equipment nearly complete and points still available, he turned to Level Six Gene Serum and considered how to strengthen his divine body for advancing toward God King.

• Garcia and his subordinates pooled points, and Lin Zhen supplied the rest so Garcia could buy the Demon God Wings for him.
• Lin Zhen equipped the wings, tested their ability to unfold and conceal themselves, and discovered they could raise his maximum speed to one thousand times the speed of sound.
• Lin Zhen reviewed his equipment and found that a Flying Palace and a domain-type weapon were still beyond his budget or standards.
• Lin Zhen checked both alliance marketplaces and focused on Level Six Gene Serum, which required the Divine Body Energy Type and had to be chosen within his ability to refine.

Lin Zhen chose the Mutated Heavenly Behemoth Gene Serum despite its lethal history and enormous cost. After sacrificing nearly all his possessions to buy it, he held the serum and prepared to risk his life fusing with it.

• Garcia advised Lin Zhen to choose a powerful but manageable gene, then warned him that the Mutated Heavenly Behemoth gene had killed many talented cultivators.
• Lin Zhen decided to buy the Mutated Heavenly Behemoth gene, believing its creation meant fusion was possible.
• Garcia attempted to purchase the serum, but Lin Zhen had to contribute his remaining points and sell his Long Spear, Purple Star Armor, God Crystals, and God Stones to meet the five-hundred-million-point price.
• Garcia bought the serum and handed it to Lin Zhen, who resolved to risk his life by fusing with it.

Lin Zhen learned about the treasures on Lake Heart Island and ordered Garcia to take him to the Tree Demon King's territory to find Feng Manlou and claim the Dominator Imperial Seal. The Tree Demon King killed Feng Manlou and set out for Lake Heart Island, but stopped when Garcia's Wandering Satellite approached.

• Garcia told Lin Zhen about the treasure eruptions on Lake Heart Island and the arrangement dividing its territory among the God Kings and other challengers.
• Lin Zhen asked Garcia about Feng Manlou, learned his last known location was in the Tree Demon King's territory, and ordered the group to head there.

• The Tree Demon King killed Feng Manlou and ordered his Wandering Satellite to depart for Lake Heart Island.
• The Tree Demon King's pilot detected Garcia's Wandering Satellite approaching, and the Tree Demon King stopped to confront him.

• The Tree Demon King and Sickly Ghost, Two-Headed Demon, and Rock Lifeform agreed to ambush Garcia and divide his possessions.

• Lin Zhen burst from Garcia's Wandering Satellite and drove Two-Headed Demon back with a powerful sword strike.
• Lin Zhen pursued Two-Headed Demon with his Demon God Wings and killed him with Jackdaw.
• The Tree Demon King withdrew the Night Forest, and Lin Zhen pierced Rock Lifeform's armor before smashing his head with the Immovable Wisdom King Seal.

Lin Zhen killed the Rock Giant and Two-Headed Demon, but Tree Demon King trapped him and Sickly Ghost in Night Forest before escaping toward Lake Heart Island. Lin Zhen claimed the domain weapon, subdued Sickly Ghost, and prepared to pursue Tree Demon King despite the threat of Violent Ape King.

• Lin Zhen killed the Rock Giant and Two-Headed Demon, prompting Sickly Ghost to flee while Tree Demon King activated Night Forest and escaped on a Wandering Satellite.

• Sickly Ghost told Lin Zhen that Tree Demon King had likely sought protection from Violent Ape King at Lake Heart Island.
• Lin Zhen decided to head to Lake Heart Island with Night Forest and face the gathering Quasi God Kings.

Tree Demon King sought Violent Ape King's protection after Lin Zhen defeated him, revealing that nine Dominator Imperial Seals could form the Primal Chaos Armor. As the Quasi God Kings gathered on Lake Heart Island for the volcano's final eruptions, Violent Ape King and Corpse Demon King both prepared to watch their rivals and pursue their own plans.

• Tree Demon King gave Violent Ape King a Dominator Imperial Seal and explained that nine seals could form the Primal Chaos Armor.
• Tree Demon King recounted Lin Zhen's strength and asked Violent Ape King to protect him after losing Night Forest.
• Violent Ape King let Tree Demon King stay in his Flying Palace and ordered his followers to report Lin Zhen's arrival without intervening.
• Corpse Demon King learned that Sickly Ghost had been controlled and suspected Lin Zhen was behind it.
• Corpse Demon King ordered his forces to avoid rash moves during the early eruptions but to seize treasures and kill Quasi God Kings near the end.

Lin Zhen and his companions seized Ghost Chi Chai’s beach territory, using a Mental Impact to help subdue him and transfer his points. With Ghost Chi Chai under Soul Lock, Lin Zhen led his group toward Jinnaluo’s territory to claim the adjoining section.

• Lin Zhen, Garcia, and Sickly Ghost rode to the volcano and decided to take the central beach territories.

• Lin Zhen struck Ghost Chi Chai with Mental Impact, allowing Garcia and Sickly Ghost to pin him down.
• Lin Zhen used Soul Lock on Ghost Chi Chai and transferred his 110 million points.
• Ghost Chi Chai suggested they seize Jinnaluo’s territory next, and Lin Zhen led the group toward him.

Lin Zhen secured territory on Lake Heart Island with three Quasi God Kings and waited through the volcano’s first eruption, which sent a treasure into the Corpse Demon King’s domain. While cultivating during the next three-month wait, he planned to refine his combat techniques and traveled to Dark Star, where he revisited the Twin-Bloom Lotus that had given him his divine body.

• Lin Zhen and three Quasi God Kings ambushed Jinnaluo, used Soul Lock on him, and raised Lin Zhen’s points to three hundred million.
• Lin Zhen’s group claimed part of the volcano’s rim, and the island settled into territories held by Lin Zhen’s group, the Violent Ape King, and the Corpse Demon King.
• The volcano erupted, but its Middle-Grade Mental Defense Equipment treasure flew into the Corpse Demon King’s territory, so Lin Zhen and the others did not pursue it.
• Lin Zhen cultivated during the three-month wait and planned to develop a fighting style combining his weapons, Black Hole Beast abilities, and insights from the Quasi God Kings.
• Lin Zhen sent his Light Element Clone to Dark Star and landed beneath the auroras at the North Pole Point, where the Twin-Bloom Lotus swayed.

Lin Zhen tried to restore his divine body's power by fusing the Snow Lotuses with his body, but the Cosmic Origin Will in his bloodline made him incompatible with their frost and light energies. He created an eight-element lotus that began taking shape, then ordered his subordinates to sell their assets so he could buy the crystals needed to finish it; he still lacked two hundred million points.

• Lin Zhen strengthened the Snow Lotuses with Wood Element Crystals and entered a parallel world using World Construction.
• The Snow Lotuses could not merge with Lin Zhen's all-element body, so he used the Night Forest as a Wood Element vessel and fused it with them.
• Chris determined that Lin Zhen needed at least ten crystals of every element to complete the transformation, and Lin Zhen spent 240 million points on three of each kind.
• The energies formed an unfinished lotus with eight elemental petals in Lin Zhen's Divine Realm, but it was not yet strong enough to merge with his divine body.
• Lin Zhen ordered his subordinates to sell their Wandering Satellites and treasures, raising 320 million points, but he was still short two hundred million.

Lin Zhen borrowed points to gather the Element Crystals needed to form the Chaos Azure Lotus, transforming his divine body and greatly increasing his combat efficiency and Mental Power. The lotus settled inside his Star Fruit Tree, and Lin Zhen eagerly anticipated testing his new strength.

• Lin Zhen contacted Hai Yun himself to borrow two hundred million points because clan reception required a mental scan, then bought seven more of each type of Element Crystal.
• Lin Zhen used all eighty Element Crystals to form the Chaos Azure Lotus, whose eight petals generated a stream of Chaos Qi.
• The Chaos Azure Lotus restored Lin Zhen's divine body and let him use his divine power more efficiently, increasing his combat strength by 56.25%.
• The lotus settled in the Tree Heart Lake of Lin Zhen's Star Fruit Tree, and three of his divine avatars moved onto their corresponding petals.
• The lotus mark reappeared between Lin Zhen's brows, raising his Mental Power crystallization from 1% to 31% and bringing him close to the middle Condensed Crystal Stage.
• Lin Zhen welcomed the transformation despite losing the Night Forest and taking on debt, and looked forward to testing his new power.

After emerging from a year-long cultivation, Lin Zhen prepared to claim the next volcanic treasure before the Pioneering Land ended. He raced toward the Corpse Demon King’s territory and discovered the treasure was the High-Grade Flying Palace known as the Sword Casket of the Eighteen Divine Swords.

• Lin Zhen emerged from cultivation after Garcia warned him that the Pioneering Land was nearing its end.
• Garcia told Lin Zhen that their group had gained little from recent eruptions and that Sickly Ghost had narrowly survived a fight over a Superior Grade Weapon.
• Lin Zhen ordered Garcia and the others to seek a Wandering Satellite so they could leave Mirror Lake Continent after the next treasure eruption.
• The Treasure Hunting Vine sensed two treasures beneath the volcano, and Lin Zhen waited for the imminent eruption.
• When the treasure launched toward the Corpse Demon King’s territory, Lin Zhen flew after it as the Quasi God Kings and Violent Ape King followed.
• Lin Zhen identified the treasure as a High-Grade Flying Palace: the Sword Casket of the Eighteen Divine Swords.

Lin Zhen pursued the Sword Palace, a coveted Flying Palace and Sword Casket, and confronted the Corpse Demon King to keep him from claiming it. Lin Zhen matched the God King’s attack head-on and launched another charge as the Sword Palace sped onward.

• Lin Zhen chased the Sword Palace, knowing he needed to seize it before the Corpse Demon King could reach it.
• The Corpse Demon King rushed toward the Sword Palace and attacked Lin Zhen with the Ten Thousand Corpse Banner.
