Chapter Summaries

Wei He cultivated the Yan Family Spirit Forging Method for half a month while waiting for Bai Ling, then used his rapid healing to protect himself from the lake’s corrosive water. The two descended through the Void Sea to its central gates, where Bai Ling noticed that the place had changed since his last visit.

• Wei He meditated behind a boulder and practiced constructing his spirit body with the Yan Family Spirit Forging Method.
• Bai Ling arrived in white armor, and Wei He entered the corrosive lake by repeatedly letting his arm char and heal until his body was covered in protective black matter.
• Wei He and Bai Ling descended through the Void Sea, avoided an enormous immortal whale, and passed schools of glowing fish.
• Bai Ling warned Wei He not to approach the gates or provoke the gatekeepers and nearby high-level Void Demons.
• Wei He and Bai Ling reached a dark-gold gate guarded by two enormous, woman-shaped Void Demons, and Bai Ling realized the site differed from his previous visit.

Wei He and Bai Ling tried to open the triangular gate to the Suffocation Layer, but a force slammed it shut and the guardians began to stir. After waiting three months for Bai Ling to heal, Wei He learned that recovery could take years unless he found spiritual-grass dew, though Bai Ling admitted that no spiritual grass remained.

• Bai Ling explained that the gate had changed since his last visit, then used his magical bell to try to open it.

• Bai Ling said the gate was fading back into the True World, and he did not know another way to reach the Suffocation Layer.
• Wei He waited three months while Bai Ling healed, but Bai Ling said his recovery might take three years.
• Bai Ling offered to recover faster by consuming dew from spiritual grass, then admitted no spiritual grass remained, and Wei He rose with a fierce expression.

Wei He spent three years cultivating in seclusion after failing to find the other Demon Kings, then used his controlled cancer cells to develop a new martial arts system. He named the evolving path the Flesh and Blood Martial Arts Path.

• Wei He left Bai Ling with a personal contact token and searched for the Tiger Tribe and Sheep Tribe Demon Kings, but could not locate either of them.
• Wei He secluded himself in Xuanzhen Cave and cultivated spiritual power until he could control a small patch of cancer cells.
• Wei He tested the cells against successive martial arts stages, developing a framework that advanced from One-Blood through Perfected Reality.
• Wei He concluded that the system’s advantage lay in cancer cells’ unlimited proliferation and imagined adapting his body by growing extra limbs and organs.
• Wei He decided his new system should be called the Flesh and Blood Martial Arts Path.

Wei He tested his flesh-and-blood martial path before reuniting with Bai Ling and Hua Yue to explore the Heavenly Gate. They discovered the Void Sea was shrinking and its inhabitants had vanished, then the gate exploded as they tried to open it.

• Wei He formed a living eyeball from cancerous cells and considered developing cells that could use energy besides Void Mist.
• When his Bai Ling Token cracked, Wei He left Xuanzhen Cave and found the Void Sea’s mist and Void Demons had greatly diminished.

• The three found the Heavenly Gate without its gatekeepers and noticed that nearby Void Demons had almost vanished.
• Bai Ling and Hua Yue tried to open the gate, but an opposing force resisted them and the gate shattered in a massive explosion.

After Heavenly Gate’s destruction, Wei He returned to Yuan Yue to complete his Flesh and Blood Martial Arts Path before the Void Mist disappeared. He secluded himself for years as Yuan Yue descended into war and foreign domination, and the chapter ends when the Void Mist finally vanished while his transformation remained incomplete.

• Wei He exchanged contact tokens with Hua Yue and Bai Ling, then left to cultivate and replace his dependence on Void Mist with his Flesh and Blood Martial Arts Path.
• In May 1848, Wei He returned to Yuan Yue, observed his descendants and Liu Chengxi’s group, and hid away to focus on cultivation.
• As Wei He stayed secluded, student protests against Zhang Hong’s Haiming Treaty were suppressed, warlords resumed fighting, and foreign powers expanded their influence over Yuan Yue.
• Over fifteen years, Wei He’s spiritual power grew and his bodily transformation advanced to fifty percent while Yuan Yue endured civil war, invasion, and the decline of martial arts.
• The Void Mist vanished, and Wei He opened his eyes in his mountain retreat, still short of completing his transformation.

Wei He learned that Void Mist and the Void Sea had vanished, leaving Bai Ling and other supernatural beings without a way to replenish their power. He left his mountain retreat to seek out the remnants of his old life and found Ding Luoying, a descendant of the Xuanmiao Sect, teaching dance in Quanzhou City.

• Wei He failed to convert ordinary energy into Void Mist, and Bai Ling visited him to ask whether he could create conversion tissue.
• Bai Ling told Wei He that the Void Sea had vanished, Hua Yue was still searching the ruins, and the three great clans of Linzhou planned to move to the Entangling Wind True Realm.

Qisha and his elite Star Warrior squad prepared to leave Sephna Second Capital Airport as he questioned the meaning of his existence. In the East Continent, Wei He found the Wei family residence abandoned, then joined Ding Luoying and learned that a faceless statue had been discovered there before the family vanished.

• Qisha spoke with Chris and Della about his sense of being out of place, while they urged him to find meaning in their companionship.
• Wei He searched the empty Wei family residence and found no sign of its occupants or evidence of a struggle.

• Wei He recognized the statue as one he had encountered in the Great Yue Imperial Tomb and suspected it had opened a passage into the True World.
• When Ding Luoying offered him protection, Wei He told her to call him Grand-Martial Ancestor.

Wei He learned that the modern world was hunting former Masters and Demon Kings while he searched for the Wei family's fate. When Ersha arrived to capture him, Wei He incapacitated her squad and recognized a familiar scent on her.

• Xidia defeated Bai Ling outside Luling City and ordered his team to take him away.
• Gera's squad killed Master Reno in Seracla as Gera spoke of defeating Xidia and Qisha and bringing down Headquarters.

• Ersha and armed Star Warriors entered Ding Luoying's home to capture Wei He, but they collapsed after he released an unseen force.
• Wei He confronted Ersha, his eyes turning white and blood-specked, and asked where the familiar scent on her came from.

Wei He defeated Ersha and her team, then learned that the faceless statue ritual had likely destroyed his remaining family. After Ersha revealed she carried Eldest Senior Sister’s aura, Wei He prepared to interrogate her, while Sephna’s leaders discussed their failing gate and their prized Star Warrior, Qisha.

• Wei He killed Ersha’s attackers, stopped a sniper’s shot, and recreated the faceless statue Ding Luoying had described.
• Wei He realized the ritual had likely brought disaster upon the Wei family, then discovered Ding Luoying had collapsed while Ersha had survived his poison.
• Ersha unleashed her tentacles and threatened Wei He with a bomb, but he stopped her and removed the device from her body.
• Wei He demanded to know why Ersha had come for him after recognizing Eldest Senior Sister’s aura on her.

• The two men confirmed that Qisha remained stable and that the Primal Star Cells were inside him.

Wei He took Ersha and Ding Luoying to Sephna to investigate the research base and Eldest Senior Sister’s traces. After surviving an attempted plane bombing, he headed straight for the base and unleashed his power against the soldiers waiting at the airport.

• Wei He brought Ersha and Ding Luoying aboard a flight to Sephna, where Ersha warned that her organization would send a stronger squad after them.
• Wei He wondered whether the creature behind Sephna’s stellar cells was Eldest Senior Sister’s Black Seal Kunpeng, while frightening a child who grabbed his hair.
• A winged woman resembling Ersha tried twice to send miniature bombs into the plane’s turbine, but both attempts failed and she flew away.
• After landing, Wei He sensed Eldest Senior Sister’s aura and a faint trace of true energy, then ordered Ersha to lead them to their destination.
• Wei He declared himself a god and unleashed black qi and giant pythons against soldiers gathered at the airport terminal.

• General Klin learned the special unit had failed and ordered Osad to bring combat vehicles, satellite positioning equipment, and disruptors to capture Wei He.
• Wei He drove toward headquarters with Ersha and Ding Luoying as a radio report described the airport attack; a young driver crashed his sports car beside them, and Wei He warned that more trouble was coming.

Wei He destroyed Colonel Osad’s artillery force after surviving its bombardment, then discovered that Ersha’s group had been diverted to a wasteland where three Star Combat Team members confronted him. The winged woman transformed into a figure identical in appearance to Yuan Du Zi, leaving Wei He facing a startling reminder of his Eldest Senior Sister.

• Colonel Osad’s artillery force bombarded Wei He’s position, but Wei He reached the artillery vehicles at supersonic speed, crushed them, and killed Osad.

• Wei He, Ersha, and their companions arrived at a wasteland after discovering that their navigator had been altered to lead them astray.
• Wei He recognized the auras of two men waiting in the wasteland as connected to Yuan Du Zi, and a winged woman joined them.
• The three opponents activated their Star States, and the winged woman’s transformed appearance matched Yuan Du Zi’s exactly.

Wei He fought a Star Warrior squad whose coordinated attacks and strange ability initially caught him off guard, but he survived Frey's poison and overwhelmed the shield-bearing fighter. The chapter ended with Wei He striking the twin-blade leader and discovering that the blow had been blocked.

• Wei He recognized the weakened Suffocation Wind and attacked the disguised woman, while her allies joined the battle with poison, a golden shield, and twin blades.

• Wei He appeared behind the twin-blade leader and struck him, but the leader blocked the attack and was hurled backward.

• Wei He killed the twin-bladed attacker, and General Klin ordered Qisha's squad to eliminate Wei He after learning Achilles and his squad had died.
• Wei He, Ersha, and Ding Luoying reached an abandoned military base, where Wei He tore open the barriers and Ersha identified the entrance to the door.
• Qisha, Chris, and Della arrived; Qisha confirmed that Achilles's squad had been wiped out and said he would take Wei He to Mother, who was at headquarters.
• Qisha told Chris and Della that he had removed their martyrdom bombs and changed sides, explaining that headquarters had planted a high-yield nuclear bomb beneath the base as a trap.
• Qisha offered to guide Wei He to Mother and the door, and Wei He realized that Qisha shared his frustration at having to tolerate weaker opponents.

Wei He followed Qisha to the Starmancer organization’s underground headquarters, where Qisha fought his way inside and reached the chained black eagle he called his mother. Wei He recognized Eldest Senior Sister’s aura in the eagle but realized it was incomplete and far weaker than he had expected.

• Qisha raced ahead toward the headquarters, and Wei He told Ersha to hide Ding Luoying while Chris and Della stayed behind to prepare for the organization’s counterattack.
• Wei He caught up with Qisha at a concealed entrance, and they took an elevator down to the underground base.
• Qisha killed the guards, triggered the alarm, and broke through the base toward its lowest level.
• Qisha collapsed the layers of the base with his black smoke, and he and Wei He fell into a vast hall containing a hundred-meter black eagle and a spinning circular door.
• Qisha called the chained black eagle his mother and inserted a pale-gold pyramid into its beak, while Wei He recognized Eldest Senior Sister’s incomplete aura in it.

Wei He examined the Black Gate and discovered that its Suffocation Wind was too dangerous to endure without protective equipment. As Klin awakened the black hawk and it attacked, Wei He revealed his immense strength by breaking both of its talons.

• Wei He read the inscriptions on the Black Gate, inferred that Eldest Senior Sister had left her severed tail as a marker, and briefly touched the Suffocation Wind before withdrawing.
• Wei He asked Qisha how to withstand the gate’s aura, and Qisha said Klin had the ruins’ only set of ancient protective equipment.
• Klin revealed that the gate was closing and ordered the awakened black hawk, the Black King, to kill Wei He and Qisha.
• The Black King roared and struck Qisha into the wall; Qisha then rushed at it in red light, but the hawk trapped and swallowed him.
• The Black King attacked Wei He and drove him into a wall, but Wei He seized its claw and broke both of its talons despite its rapid blows.

Wei He defeated the Black King Giant Eagle and Qisha with his awakened bloodlines, revealing that neither could threaten his immense strength. After seeing Qisha's speed, Wei He removed his own heart and replaced it with Qisha's to gain the Black Seal Kunpeng bloodline.

• Wei He found that Black King and Qisha were short-lived, immature beings whose power was poorly controlled, and he shrugged off Black King's attacks.
• Wei He unsealed his second and third bloodline layers, growing stronger and faster before severing both of Black King's wings and crippling it.
• Qisha burst out of Black King and struck Wei He with a crystal spike, but the attack could not pierce Wei He's skin, and Wei He knocked Qisha away.
• Qisha charged Wei He again with his Infinite Star Trace Blade, but Wei He struck him aside and seized him by the neck.
• Wei He removed his own heart, pulled out Qisha's heart, and replaced his heart's bloodline to gain Qisha's extraordinary speed.

Wei He killed the Black King, survived two nuclear missiles, and learned that Qisha and the Black King had been cultivated from Yuan Du Zi’s body. He tracked down Klin, who had planned to capture him and use his family and Ding Luoying as leverage.

• Qisha told Wei He that Klin had launched two nuclear missiles, and Wei He destroyed them with boulders before they could reach the Daoist Sect.

• Klin discussed plans with a mysterious silver-snowflake projection and intended to capture Wei He, using Ding Luoying and the Wei family to control him.
• Wei He and Qisha appeared in Klin’s study, where Wei He identified Klin using the tracking poison gas he had placed on Ding Luoying and Ersha.

Wei He forced Klin to reveal the equipment needed to enter the door and secured a protective suit, then arranged for Ding Luoying and the others to protect the Wei family and Xuanmiao Sect while he prepared to explore. He left Qisha with the revelation that Star Warriors descended from his Eldest Senior Sister’s bloodline, making them kin to the Xuanmiao Sect.

• Wei He used poisonous smoke to control Klin and learned the door equipment was in a safe in Klin’s bedroom.
• Klin opened the safe and gave Wei He the protective suit, which blocked radiation but could not protect its wearer from other dangers.
