Chapter Summaries

Chen Kong's team prepared to explore the Desolate Bone Desert while Vivian's suspicions about An Qin and her companions grew. An Qin was forced by Lin Feng to carry a Star Energy Disruptor and lure Chen Kong into a conversion trap, but she secretly resolved to stop it as the teams approached the ruins.

• Vivian warned Chen Kong, Liu Ma, and Isabelle that An Qin, Lin Feng, and Zhao Yu seemed suspicious, and Chen Kong agreed to stay alert while they planned their exploration route.
• Lin Feng ordered An Qin to use a Star Energy Disruptor to weaken Chen Kong's team and guide them into a conversion zone, threatening her when she resisted.
• An Qin hid the device and returned to the resting cabin, where she divided the explorers into two groups and urged Chen Kong to prioritize safety.
• Vivian joined An Qin, Lin Feng, and Zhao Yu's group to observe them, while Chen Kong questioned An Qin about her relationship with the two men and Vivian noticed her unease.
• As the Star Energy Ship neared the Desolate Bone Desert, Chen Kong and his companions prepared to disembark, and An Qin left with Lin Feng and Zhao Yu.
• Aboard another ship, Jing Liuli asked Tiandao why he had chosen the apparently ordinary Fallen Zone, and Tiandao said he expected it to become interesting.

Chen Kong, Liu Ma, and Isabelle investigated the left side of the Energy Ruins while Vivian watched An Qin, Lin Feng, and Zhao Yu on the right. Vivian confirmed that the group was steering toward the central building and warned Chen Kong, who changed course to support her.

• An Qin warned the team to avoid the central building, but Chen Kong questioned the restriction and set out with Liu Ma and Isabelle to scout the left side.
• Vivian reported that An Qin was guiding her group toward the central building, while Isabelle’s radar scan suggested the building was more intact than An Qin had claimed.
• Liu Ma, Chen Kong, and Isabelle defeated a Rank 2 Sand Wolf whose body bore strange black energy patterns, prompting Chen Kong to warn that creatures in the Fallen Zone had changed.
• Vivian recorded An Qin’s route and behavior, then noticed An Qin genuinely protected her during a Rock Lizard attack as Lin Feng and Zhao Yu fought the creatures.
• Zhao Yu stabilized the group’s communications with a Signal Booster, while Vivian sent Chen Kong an encrypted warning that the central building was their target and communications might be monitored.
• Chen Kong told Liu Ma and Isabelle to approach the central building quietly and support Vivian.

An Qin turned against Lin Feng and the Abyss Organization, while Chen Kong and his allies fought back and Tiandao arrived to stop the Brood Nest. With Lin Feng, Zhao Yu, and the black-clad men captured, An Qin offered to share intelligence and help expose spies within the base.

• An Qin crushed the Star Energy Disruptor, revealed her Dark Spirit Snake bloodline, and shielded Vivian as she urged her to escape.
• Chen Kong, Liu Ma, and Isabelle ambushed Zhao Yu and Lin Feng, while Lin Feng activated the Brood Nest and pulled everyone toward the building.
• An Qin explained that the Brood Nest transformed creatures, and Tiandao arrived by Star Energy Ship to destroy its outer wall and halt its suction.
• Lin Feng attacked An Qin, but Chen Kong erased his Star Core ability and subdued him; Jing Liuli trapped Zhao Yu as he tried to flee.
• Caroline bound Lin Feng, Zhao Yu, and the two black-clad men for transport, while An Qin offered Tiandao intelligence about the Abyss Organization and its spies.

An Qin revealed Abyss Organization spies and a planned ritual at the Star Energy Festival, then joined Tiandao’s group as she sought to break free from the organization. After returning to the Heavenly Martial Training Base, she underwent treatment that removed the control mark from her Star Core, though it left her needing time to recover.

• An Qin asked Tiandao to help free her from the Abyss Organization, and he agreed to let Chen Kong take responsibility for her safety.
• An Qin identified Zhang Qiming and Wang Yuan as spies passing students’ Star Energy data to the Abyss Organization, and Tiandao destroyed the brood nest and recovered its experiment logs.
• An Qin told Chen Kong’s group that the Abyss Organization planned a major ritual during the Star Energy Festival in Martial Arts Heavenly Capital three months later, with a likely leader among the branch’s upper ranks.
• Three days later, Tiandao arranged covert surveillance of Zhang Qiming and Wang Yuan and sent An Qin to the medical department for treatment.
• Chen Kong used his Mark of the Void to help the doctors purge the control mark from An Qin’s Star Core, leaving her free of its restraint but with minor damage to her bloodline and Star Core.

Chen Kong, An Qin, and Jing Liuli helped the Inspection Office arrest Zhang Qiming and Wang Yuan, uncovering an encrypted chip and evidence of a plot to open an Abyss passage beneath Martial Arts Heavenly Capital. After Caroline and An Qin reconstructed the ritual’s key details, Caroline followed Lu Ming into the Star Energy Core District while deliberately letting the plan continue, hoping to use the Abyss Organization as a stepping stone for Tiandao’s rise.

• An Qin identified Zhang Qiming and Wang Yuan’s contact signal, helping Jing Liuli and the Inspection Office capture them at the Eternal Night Tavern and recover an encrypted chip.
• Tiandao revealed that Zhao Kun, Lu Ming, and Han Wen were the prime suspects for the mole codenamed Night Owl, while An Qin said Night Owl had coordinated the Star Energy Festival ritual.
• The chip self-destructed during Caroline’s attempt to crack it, but An Qin had remembered its Star Energy fluctuation trails and helped Caroline reconstruct the ritual’s plan to open an Abyss passage from the Star Energy Core District.
• Caroline learned that Lu Ming had entered the Star Energy Core District carrying an encrypted briefcase and led a team after him, waiting until he was inside before following.
• Caroline chose not to disrupt the plan immediately, intending to use the Abyss Organization as a stepping stone for Tiandao to enter the Association’s upper ranks.

Caroline and Tiandao caught Lu Ming and the Abyss Organization’s allies conspiring to corrupt the Star Energy Core District, but the group triggered their ritual before the authorities could stop it. As Martial Arts Heavenly Capital shook beneath a blood-red moon, the threat of the Abyss passage remained unresolved.

• Caroline and her team watched Lu Ming install an Abyss Energy Guidance Crystal in the energy converter and heard him report to Night Owl.
• Night Owl attacked the hiding team, and Tiandao arrived to restrain him and subdue the apparent Lu Ming, while Caroline’s team surrounded them.
• Zhao Kun, Han Wen, and their Dark Star Envoys entered and revealed that the first Lu Ming was an Abyss-modified substitute; the real Lu Ming had been Night Owl in disguise.
• Tiandao reversed the altered defenses, and Jing Liuli arrived with Inspection Office members after they eliminated the Abyss forces outside; An Qin offered to locate the ritual altars.
• Lu Ming and his allies forcibly activated the ritual, causing Martial Arts Heavenly Capital to tremble as a blood moon appeared overhead.

Tiandao defeated the Subspace Projections trapping him and Caroline in an isolated space, then learned the locations of three Abyss Organization ritual altars in Martial Arts Heavenly Capital. He split the group into three teams to destroy them, reserving the main altar for himself and Caroline.

• Caroline identified the creatures attacking her and Tiandao as Subspace Projections and explained that their Energy Cores had to be targeted.
• Tiandao destroyed the projections, including a giant formed from their fused bodies, and annihilated their abyssal energy, breaking the spatial barrier.
• Jing Liuli, Chen Kong, An Qin, and Inspection Office members reached Tiandao and Caroline after the barrier vanished.
• An Qin located three ritual altars: the main altar on the third underground level, one in the central plaza, and one in an abandoned western star energy mine.
• Tiandao sent Jing Liuli to the central plaza, Chen Kong, An Qin, and Isabelle to the western mine, and took Caroline with him to the main altar.

Tiandao and the others destroyed the three Abyss altars in Martial Arts Heavenly Capital, restoring the Floating City's star energy. General President Enit then ordered Tiandao to lead an elite squad against the Abyss Organization's headquarters in the Meteorite Ruins, with departure set for one month later.

• Tiandao and Caroline broke through the defenses of the underground altar and destroyed its Energy Core, while Tiandao restrained the Abyss guards.
• Chen Kong, Isabelle, and An Qin defeated the Abyss members at the abandoned mine and destroyed its altar.
• Jing Liuli and her team defeated the central plaza guards and destroyed the third altar, ending the city's energy disturbances.
• General President Enit contacted Tiandao, praised his work, and revealed that the Abyss headquarters was in the Meteorite Ruins.
• Enit ordered Tiandao to lead an elite squad to destroy the headquarters, and Tiandao agreed to depart in one month.

Tiandao led preparations for the Meteorite Ruins mission, refining his spatial abilities while training a team of thirty elite Star Envoys. As the Abyss Organization planned an ambush, Tiandao tested a prototype domain on Caroline and stood one step away from mastering it completely.

• Caroline, Jing Liuli, Chen Kong, Isabelle, and An Qin divided up preparations for the Meteorite Ruins mission, and Tiandao scheduled joint training to begin in three days.
• Tiandao trained in a secluded valley and learned to manipulate spatial curvature, crushing a boulder with spatial pressure.
• Tiandao led a simulated battle against Rank 3 abyssal creatures, turning the turbulent Star Energy against them and ordering the team to complete three high-intensity exercises each day.
• During the month of preparation, Chen Kong improved his Mark of the Void, Isabelle expanded her Absolute Zero, and Tiandao developed Space Barrier and Spatial Severing.
• The Abyss Organization's leader planned to ambush Tiandao's team with Purgatory Mother Nests and an Abyss Lord projection.
• On Day Four, Tiandao demonstrated a prototype domain to Caroline, who recognized that he had separated her perception from the outside world.

Tiandao refined his Information Cage domain, prepared his team, and led the expedition into the Meteorite Ruins. There, he overcame the Abyss Organization’s ambush and destroyed all three Purgatory Mother Nests, while Lei Xiao and Shi Jian engaged two Calamity-class enemies.

• Tiandao demonstrated his Information Probes, which overwhelmed a target’s senses and disrupted a rock’s structure, though the domain remained unstable and short-lived.
• Tiandao trained the team for a month, then departed for the Meteorite Ruins aboard four Star Energy warships with Caroline, Chen Kong, Isabelle, An Qin, thirty elite members, Lei Xiao, and Shi Jian.
• Tiandao used his Vector Field to clear violent Star Energy turbulence and seal spatial rifts, allowing the warships to enter the Meteorite Ruins safely.
• Tiandao spotted three Purgatory Mother Nests and ordered Chen Kong, Isabelle, Caroline, Lei Xiao, and Shi Jian to carry out their assigned roles against the ambush.
• Tiandao’s domain disabled nearby Abyss Organization members as Lei Xiao and Shi Jian fought the two Calamity-class hooded figures.
• Tiandao dismantled the Energy Cores of all three Purgatory Mother Nests, leaving the Abyss Organization’s forces in disarray.

Tiandao defeated the Abyss members and confronted the Abyss Leader in the depths of the Meteorite Ruins. He overwhelmed the leader with his expanded domain, leaving the Abyss Leader immobilized as the chapter ended.

• Tiandao restrained the fleeing Abyss members with his Vector Field, and Caroline led her team in clearing them out.
• Tiandao rescued Shi Jian, then destroyed the Star Cores of the two cloaked Calamity-class fighters with Vector Force Blades.
• After sensing a greater abyssal presence, Tiandao ordered Caroline to hold the perimeter and Lei Xiao and Shi Jian to guard the rear before flying deeper into the Meteorite Ruins.
• Tiandao reached a black palace and confronted the Abyss Leader, who attacked with a black energy vortex and an Abyss Lord projection.
• Tiandao expanded his Domain: Boundless Time and Space to a hundred meters, rebounding and absorbing the enemy's attacks while disrupting the Abyss Leader's energy flow.
• The Abyss Leader released two blue-glowing light fish and tried to defend himself, but Tiandao's domain overwhelmed his senses and immobilized him as blade shadows tore into his body.

Tiandao defeated the Abyss Leader and the Abyss Lord projection with his Boundless Time and Space Domain, then led the team in securing the ruined stronghold and its supplies. After discovering an Abyss Organization evacuation array, he analyzed its destination but found it unusable because its core and space nodes had been destroyed.

• Tiandao annihilated the Abyss Leader, destroyed the Pisces avatar's origin core, and ground the Abyss Lord projection to nothing inside his Domain.
• Tiandao collapsed the black palace, secured a fragment bearing Pisces's spiritual imprint, and ordered Caroline to collect the Abyss Organization's materials while Lei Xiao and Shi Jian searched the area.
• Tiandao intercepted and destroyed a probing imprint sent by Pisces's true body, injuring it across the spatial distance.
• Tiandao uncovered the palace's hidden warehouse, where Caroline and the team began collecting abyssal energy crystals, star-energy weapons, and experimental records.
• An Qin reported a hidden teleportation array in a cave, and Tiandao analyzed it, discovering that its Energy Core and Space Nodes had been destroyed.

Tiandao destroyed the teleportation array and uncovered coordinates linking the Pisces fragment to Pisces's true body. After sending Pisces's remnant soul back with a warning, he led his team away from the cleared Meteorite Ruins and prepared to return to headquarters, with his next goal set on the Calamity Realm.

• Tiandao destroyed the teleportation array, ordered An Qin to guard the cave, and joined Caroline's team as they inventoried the captured supplies.
• Tiandao activated the stone platform with the Pisces fragment, deciphered Pisces's true-body coordinates, then destroyed the fragment and dismantled the star map.
• When Pisces's remnant soul appeared, Tiandao imprisoned it and sent it back carrying the coordinates and a record of his victory over Pisces's avatar and the Abyss Lord projection.
• Pisces's true body received Tiandao's message and felt an unexplained danger from the vector mark, while Tiandao sensed its response from afar.
• Tiandao ordered the team to load the supplies and led them to their star-energy warship, which departed for New Federation headquarters as he looked ahead to challenging the Calamity Realm.

Tiandao prepared to break through to the Calamity realm by refining abyssal energy and aligning his Vector Control with the rules of heaven and earth. After consuming all 372 crystals, his Star Core formed a complete rule loop and his power surged, drawing the attention of Star Envoys across the Martial Arts Heavenly Capital.

• Tiandao ordered Caroline to prepare 372 abyssal energy crystals and secure his cultivation chamber, explaining to Lei Xiao that his Vector Field could purify the dangerous energy.
• Tiandao arrived at the Martial Arts Heavenly Capital and sealed himself inside his private cultivation chamber with spatial stabilization and anti-detection systems active.
• Tiandao calibrated the basic nodes of Vector Control against the rules of heaven and earth, establishing a stable resonance with the chamber.
• Tiandao refined the abyssal energy crystals to expand his Star Source and strengthen his Boundless Time and Space domain, extending its simulated range from 100 meters to 1,000 meters.
• After refining the final crystal, Tiandao's Star Core formed a complete rule loop and his Vector Field surged through the chamber barrier, sending energy ripples across the Martial Arts Heavenly Capital.

Tiandao Siming completed his breakthrough into the Calamity realm by fusing his Star Source with the vector rules, despite Pisces's attempt to interrupt him. Afterward, he was welcomed by the Star Envoys of Martial Arts Heavenly Capital and created a permanent protective formation around the city.

• The rule resonance from Tiandao's breakthrough shook Martial Arts Heavenly Capital, astonishing veteran Star Envoys Lei Xiao and Shi Jian.
• Tiandao fused his Star Source with the vector rule runes, advancing toward the Calamity realm without using a Calamity Source.
• Pisces sent a huge abyssal projection to attack Tiandao, but Tiandao destroyed it and struck Pisces's true body through a Vector Force Line.
• Tiandao completed his breakthrough as the vector rules merged into his Star Source, increasing its power more than a hundredfold.
• The Star Envoys congratulated Tiandao, who calmed their Star Sources with his Vector Field.
• Tiandao formed a permanent rule-powered protective formation around Martial Arts Heavenly Capital and its surrounding airspace.

After establishing the Azure Star formation, Tiandao left Martial Arts Heavenly Capital protected and confronted Pisces and three other Zodiac avatars in Subspace. He destroyed all four avatars, then returned to his cultivation chamber to study his gains as his strength continued to approach the legendary realm.

• Tiandao activated Azure Star, explained its warning, defense, and extermination functions, and assigned Lei Xiao and Shi Jian to clear remaining Abyss forces from the Meteorite Ruins.
• Tiandao gave the Star Envoy Association's president Azure Star's control token, then traveled into Subspace after sensing Pisces gathering Abyss allies.
• Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio, and Aquarius sent their avatars to confront Tiandao, but he easily countered their attacks and destroyed Cancer's avatar.
• Tiandao trapped the remaining avatars in a Vector Field and killed Scorpio, Aquarius, and Pisces, while Pisces's true body remained in Subspace.
• Tiandao returned to Martial Arts Heavenly Capital and meditated on the battle, feeling his control over vector rules improve and his strength draw closer to the legendary realm.

After gaining new insight into his Vector Path, Tiandao intimidated the Zodiac’s true bodies with an energy seal and then killed Leo’s powerful avatar in Subspace. The Zodiac considered accelerating its plans as Tiandao prepared to grow strong enough to defeat its legendary members.

• Tiandao refined his understanding of vector rules through the battle against the four Zodiac avatars and reached the threshold of the mid Calamity-class realm.
• Tiandao sent an azure energy seal into the Starry Vault Hall, where it nullified Leo’s fire attack and left the Zodiac true bodies alarmed.
• The Zodiac members recognized Tiandao as a growing threat, and Aries said their plan had to be accelerated.
• Tiandao sensed Leo’s avatar approaching Martial Arts Heavenly Capital and confronted it in Subspace.
• Tiandao redirected Leo’s flaming meteors against it, pierced its core energy node, and destroyed the avatar in fewer than ten breaths.

Tiandao defeated Leo’s origin avatar, refined his ability to alter laws, and took control of the Zodiac’s teleportation array. The Zodiac stopped targeting him for the moment and focused on finding a way to deal with Enit, while Tiandao returned to training.

• Tiandao destroyed Leo’s avatar, and Leo analyzed how Tiandao’s vector laws had altered and turned his flames against him.
• The Zodiac judged that further attacks on Tiandao would waste their origin power and decided to stop testing him.
• Tiandao practiced altering flame laws and concluded that he needed to refine the technique to confront the Zodiac’s true bodies.
• Lei Xiao and Shi Jian reported the Meteorite Ruins cleanup and showed Tiandao a teleportation array linked to a Subspace relay station.
• Tiandao erased the Zodiac’s imprints in the array and bound it to his vector laws, giving him control of the passage and warning him of anyone using it.
• The Zodiac sensed Tiandao’s takeover, ordered its forces near the New Federation to lie low, and shifted its search toward the thing that could help them deal with Enit.

Tiandao tested his newly deduced Infinity trait in a simulation of Enit’s early Fallen Zone battle, storing and replicating Enit’s attacks. He stabilized the trait and defeated the exhausted Enit before the simulation ended.

• Tiandao entered a holographic simulation of the Eastern United States Fallen Zone to test Infinity against young Enit.
• Enit struck Tiandao with increasingly powerful attacks, allowing Infinity to store them and raise its limit.
• Tiandao replicated Enit’s physical impact and Mountain Breaker, then dodged and stored Taotie Breath.
• Enit unleashed his Gluttony Domain, and Tiandao countered it by disrupting its energy flow and replicating the domain at 70% strength.
• Enit’s domain collapsed from the backlash, and he acknowledged Tiandao’s victory before the simulation ended.

Tiandao rushed to Panshi City after a Beast Tide overwhelmed its defenses and threatened more than a hundred thousand concertgoers. He rescued the city’s survivors from the low-level Star Beasts and confronted the Corrosive Scale Wolf and Sky-Rending Spider, whose combined attack closed in on him.

• Jing Liuli alerted Tiandao that a Beast Tide of over a hundred thousand Star Beasts and two Calamity-class beasts had breached Panshi City’s defenses.
• Tiandao arrived and saw civilians, Star Envoys, and the city’s defenders suffering heavy casualties while Jing Liuli protected the concertgoers.
• Tiandao unfolded his Vector Field and used Vector Reversal to hurl the low-level Star Beasts away from the civilians.
• The Corrosive Scale Wolf fired a corrosive beam at Tiandao, who blocked it with a replicated Taotie Breath.
• The Sky-Rending Spider attacked with God-Binding Silk, but Tiandao redirected and broke the strands before melting the rest with an energy barrier.
• The Corrosive Scale Wolf and Sky-Rending Spider combined their corrosive domain and poison silk net to attack Tiandao.
