Chapter Summaries

Wang Teng absorbed enlightenment from powerful combat skills used in the battlefield, including a Golden Dragon Race saber technique that killed a Sloth Mist Race Demon Venerable and tore through Sloth Demon Mist. He recognized several other familiar techniques and questioned how a Black Mountain Royal Clan combat skill had appeared in an unfamiliar fighter’s hands.

• Wang Teng watched the [Golden Dragon Saber] destroy a Sloth Mist Race Darkness Breed and realized its metal-element power and spiritual sonic attacks could tear apart the Power of Sloth.
• Wang Teng absorbed enlightenment from the [Brute Force Vajra Palm] and suspected its World Lord Level user might be Guang Qing, though the figure’s face was indistinct.
• Wang Teng recognized the [Wushen Sun Piercing Arrow Technique], whose mastery advanced from Mastery Level to Proficiency Level, and determined its user was not Wu Yan.
• Wang Teng recognized a powerful spear technique as one he had obtained from Black Shan Gan and wondered why an unfamiliar figure could use a combat skill of the Black Mountain Royal Clan.
• Wang Teng considered whether the spear technique had originally belonged to someone else and been seized through the Dark Royal Clan’s talent.

Wang Teng absorbed wood-element battle technique insights and learned that Treant Race members had distinct elemental bloodline clans. He identified why his [Wood Flame Spear] collapsed too quickly and concluded that his lack of a fire-tempered wooden body was the key difference.

• Wang Teng absorbed insights from the remaining metal-element techniques and several wood-element battle techniques, including [Wood Flame Spear].
• Wang Teng saw that the technique’s user was a crimson Treant Race member with fire and wood talents, and asked Yuan Gungun about Treant Race bloodlines.
• Yuan Gungun found that the Treant Race had bloodline clans, and Wang Teng learned that plant-based lifeforms could inherit varied elemental talents through their genes.
• Wang Teng recognized that Boleite’s wood, fire, and thunder talents let him use both [Wood Flame Spear] and [Thunder Wood Spear].
• Wang Teng recalled that his own [Wood Flame Spear] often collapsed after striking and concluded that he could not match a Treant Race member’s fire-tempered wooden body.

Wang Teng experimented with strengthening [Wood Flame Spear] using an Ancient Wood Rune, then absorbed several wood-element battle techniques from martial artists’ insights. He gained a powerful bone-targeting technique, an elusive movement technique, and [Withered Wood Pointing Cang Finger], whose decay-based power exceeded his current grasp of the Wood Essence laws.

• Wang Teng added an Ancient Wood Rune to [Wood Flame Spear], adjusted its energy structure, and raised the technique to great success.
• Wang Teng absorbed insights from Fu Xiuyuan’s [Hundred Flowers Azure Edge Sword Method] but gained only a modest improvement.
• Wang Teng learned [Green Vine Bone Grasping Hand], a World Lord Level Peak technique that could attack bones at range or in close combat.
• Wang Teng mastered an elusive wood-element movement technique at Small Success and wondered about its World Lord Level martial artist.
• Wang Teng learned [Withered Wood Pointing Cang Finger], which drained vitality through the meaning of decay, but realized his Wood Essence laws were not strong enough to wield its full power.

Wang Teng mastered two Marquis-level Immortal wood-element techniques, learned about the Giant Vine Race and its seed-based Parasitic Palm, and began absorbing a large haul of water-element combat techniques. The chapter ended as he examined the first water technique and noticed it had caught its enemies off guard.

• Wang Teng reached Proficiency Level in the Withered Wood Pointing Cang Finger and considered how its decay effect could damage even powerful Immortal beings.
• Wang Teng identified the vine-covered figure in an enlightenment scene as a member of the Giant Vine Race and learned how its Parasitic Palm used seeds to grow plants inside enemies and break down their power.
• Wang Teng considered cultivating powerful plant lifeforms, potentially with help from the Flower Spirit Race, to support his use of the Parasitic Palm.
• Wang Teng absorbed a large collection of water-element combat techniques, including a Venerable Immortal-level sword technique.
• Wang Teng examined the Gentle Water Shattering Steel Finger and discovered that its user had defeated Darkness Breeds by catching them off guard.

Wang Teng gained several World Lord Level Peak combat techniques and began using the [Water Tornado] enlightenment to develop a new Water Element Storm. After successfully blending in [Yellow Springs Weak Water], he attempted to add [Starlight Yuanming Holy Water], and the two forces began to clash.

• Wang Teng absorbed enlightenment for [Gentle Water Shattering Steel Finger] and four World Lord Level Peak combat techniques, including [Azure Moon Sword Technique], [Water Cloud Sword Technique], and [Water Tornado].
• Wang Teng considered improving [Endless Storm] with the [Water Tornado] enlightenment, but found that developing Water Element Power alone would upset its balance.
• Wang Teng instead began deducing a separate Water Element Storm and activated his [True Water Divine Body] to form a miniature storm with water and wind.
• Wang Teng smoothly incorporated [Yellow Springs Weak Water] into the miniature Water Element Storm.
• Wang Teng added [Starlight Yuanming Holy Water], causing the sacred water and the storm to clash.

Wang Teng balanced Yellow Springs Weak Water and Starlight Yuanming Holy Water to form water dragons, then began incorporating Space Power into the storm technique. The three powers started to merge, leaving the combat technique's further development unresolved.

• Wang Teng used Wind Element Power and Water Tornado's mechanism to stop Yellow Springs Weak Water and Starlight Yuanming Holy Water from devouring each other.
• The two water-elemental wonders settled down, intertwined into a water rope, and Wang Teng shaped it into vivid water dragons.
• Wang Teng added Space Power to the miniature storm, but the water dragons grew distorted as the two wonders resisted it.
• Wang Teng adjusted the runes and forced the three powers into a stalemate, establishing a possible balance.
• The three powers began showing signs of merging, with Yellow Springs Weak Water and Starlight Yuanming Holy Water seeming to accommodate Space Power.

Wang Teng let [Yellow Springs Weak Water] and [Starlight Yuanming Holy Water] absorb Space Power, discovering they could both accommodate and influence it. After mastering their rhythm and creating a powerful water-element storm, he asked Yuan Gungun to help name the new battle technique.

• Wang Teng watched [Yellow Springs Weak Water] and [Starlight Yuanming Holy Water] adapt to Space Power and realized they were moving in rhythm with it.
• Wang Teng sensed that the two treasures were gradually bringing order to the chaotic Space Power and gained insight into water-element power’s ability to adapt and influence without contending.
• Wang Teng recorded the Space Power rhythm and guided the treasures until they reached saturation, their dark-blue and holy-white radiance gaining a trace of silver.
• Wang Teng dispersed the miniature storm, judged its power greatly increased, and considered it a new battle technique.
• Blazing Radiant True God sensed the fluctuation from Wang Teng’s room and speculated that Wang Teng had gained another remarkable insight.
• Wang Teng called Yuan Gungun over and asked him to name the water-element storm; Yuan Gungun eagerly appeared to offer a suggestion.

Wang Teng named his new water-element storm technique Yellow Springs Vast Sea Storm, then fused it with an Immortal-level spear technique. The fusion greatly advanced the storm technique and incorporated Spiral Force into Space Power.

• Wang Teng and Yuan Gungun discussed names for Wang Teng’s water-element storm technique, and Wang Teng settled on Yellow Springs Vast Sea Storm.
• Wang Teng saw that Yellow Springs Vast Sea Storm was a growth-type technique at Proficiency and studied a powerful water-element hammer technique, deepening his understanding of water’s strength.
• Wang Teng absorbed the insights of the Immortal-level Spiral Strangling Spear and found that it could fuse with Yellow Springs Vast Sea Storm.
• Wang Teng fused the techniques, raising Yellow Springs Vast Sea Storm to 4,800 proficiency points and integrating Spiral Force into Space Power.

Wang Teng absorbed combat-technique insights from the battlefield, improving several water-element techniques and discovering the power of the Hundred Rivers Clan’s combined saber art. He then began absorbing a wealth of fire-element insights, leaving him eager to see how much his fire techniques would advance.

• Wang Teng deduced that Spiral Force made [Yellow Springs Vast Sea Storm] concentrate its powers into a more destructive spiraling attack.
• Wang Teng gained insight into the Hundred Rivers Clan’s [Nine Yuan Hundred Rivers Saber Technique], raising it from Familiarity Level to Proficiency Level.
• Wang Teng absorbed more insight into Gongyang Yu’s [Vast Sea Saint Fist] and [Vast Sea Saint Sword], deepening his understanding of both Marquis-level Immortal techniques.
• Wang Teng absorbed insight into Tianlan Yuanhai Venerable’s [Tianlan Sword Combat Technique], though it yielded only a modest increase in attributes.
• Wang Teng absorbed a large set of fire-element combat-technique attributes and marveled at the number of techniques represented.

Wang Teng absorbed several fire-element combat techniques, including the World Lord Level Peak Liaoyuan Lie Palm and Crimson Python Whip, then fused Crimson Python Whip with four other techniques to create a growth-type combat technique. He tested the new Ice Fire Silk Poison Python Vine and found that its combined ice, fire, poison, and binding powers could rival his darkness-side Blood Bone Poison Scale Demon Hair Vine.

• Wang Teng absorbed enlightenment for Fire Silkworm Finger and Candle Dragon Fist, increasing both techniques' attribute values.
• Wang Teng learned Liaoyuan Lie Palm and Crimson Python Whip from their enlightenment scenes and noted their World Lord Level Peak grades and Small Success mastery.
• Wang Teng recognized similarities among Crimson Python Whip, Fire Tongue, Green Vine Bone Grasping Hand, Mysterious Nether Silk Whip, and Blood Poison Spider Silk.
• Wang Teng fused those five techniques into the growth-type Ice Fire Silk Poison Python Vine, which had reached Small Success.
• Wang Teng summoned the new vine and examined its ice, fire, poison, and silk-binding powers, concluding that it could rival Blood Bone Poison Scale Demon Hair Vine.

Wang Teng absorbed several combat skill insights, gaining growth-type vine techniques, a fire-element archery skill, and the Marquis-level Immortal Great Sun Melting Heaven Seal. The seal revealed Ancient Yang Runes and the power of yang, and Wang Teng began infusing that power into the Azure Jade Glazed Flame.

• Wang Teng discovered that Ice Fire Silk Poison Python Vine was a growth-type skill at Small Success and considered how it could rival Blood Bone Poison Scale Demon Hair Vine.
• Wang Teng learned Meteor Fire Rain Archery, a Small Success fire-element skill suited to sweeping attacks across a battlefield.
• Wang Teng absorbed Great Sun Melting Heaven Seal, a Proficiency-level Marquis-level Immortal skill that combined fire-element attacks with spiritual methods to intimidate and melt Darkness Breeds.
• Wang Teng gained 450 attribute points in Ancient Yang Runes and realized that yang power could strengthen different kinds of power, including fire.
• Wang Teng summoned the Azure Jade Glazed Flame and traced Ancient Yang Runes into it, causing its heat to surge.

Wang Teng used the [Ancient Yang Rune] to strengthen his Azure Flame, then absorbed three Marquis-level Immortal fire combat techniques and tested [Exploding Flame Step]. He left the cramped Cultivation Room eager to combine its explosive speed with his other movement techniques, while the crimson-armored Immortal suspected that Wang Teng had noticed the Yang element in his [Great Sun Melting Heaven Seal].

• Wang Teng discovered golden threads of Yang-element power within his Azure Flame, and Blazing Radiant True God failed to identify the obscure power disturbing him.
• Wang Teng decided to find the user of the [Great Sun Melting Heaven Seal], while the crimson-armored Marquis-level Immortal sensed someone coveting him and suspected the Yang element was the reason.
• Wang Teng absorbed the insights for [Fire Cloud Hand], [Exploding Flame Step], and a tiger-shaped fire technique, bringing all three to the Proficiency Level.
• Wang Teng reasoned that he could channel Yang-element power through his Heaven and Earth Strange Fire instead of incorporating it directly into the combat techniques.
• Wang Teng tested [Exploding Flame Step] with his Heaven and Earth Strange Fire, burst across the Cultivation Room, and nearly hit a wall before recognizing that he could link the technique with his other movement combat techniques.

Wang Teng fused Yan Tiger Roaring Sun with Great Sun Melting Heaven Seal, creating an Enfeoffed King Immortal Level combat technique. He then absorbed insights from the Candle Dragon Race’s techniques, including a breakthrough in Candle Dragon Fury Flame Saber.

• Wang Teng tried twice to combine the Ancient Yang Rune and Great Sun Melting Heaven Seal insights with Yan Tiger Roaring Sun, but the technique collapsed both times.
• Wang Teng realized he needed to fuse a seal into the great sun rather than replace the sun outright, then successfully created Yan Tiger Roaring Sun Law Seal.
• Yuan Gungun watched Wang Teng’s experiment and was stunned when the new technique reached Enfeoffed King Immortal Level.
• Wang Teng absorbed insights from True God Zhulong and Candle Demon Venerable, advancing Candle Dragon Fury Flame Saber from Proficiency Level to Small Success.
• Wang Teng found that Candle Dragon Demon Fist and Candle Dragon Demon Flame Spear remained at the practiced level and lamented Candle Demon Venerable’s progress.

Wang Teng tried to improve Kandisi’s Enfeoffed King Immortal Level [Heavenly Sun Swordplay] by merging it with [Great Sun Melting Heaven Seal]. After repeated failures, he carefully linked its complex Primal Force routes again, while Yuan Gungun and Icestis watched as the attempt revealed Wang Teng’s use of yang-element power.

• Wang Teng absorbed the insights into [Heavenly Sun Swordplay] and [Heaven Flame Burning Heaven Saber Technique], noting that the sword technique was close to reaching Small Success.
• Wang Teng returned to the Chaos Star Region and began integrating [Heavenly Sun Swordplay] with [Great Sun Melting Heaven Seal].
• Wang Teng’s Great Sun phantom collapsed repeatedly as the sword technique’s complex Primal Force pathways resisted the integration.
• Icestis appeared beside Yuan Gungun and said Wang Teng had already deduced nearly two-thirds of the technique despite the failures.
• Wang Teng activated [Eighteen Tasks at Once] and resumed linking the pathways more carefully as Icestis identified the strange energy as yang-element power.

Wang Teng struggled to improve [Heavenly Sun Swordplay] beyond the Enfeoffed King Immortal Level, but after analyzing its shifting power routes, he succeeded on his tenth attempt. Icestis judged that the resulting technique was close to the Venerable Immortal Level, and she called out to Wang Teng to learn more.

• Wang Teng identified the combat technique’s complex routes for domain power, Source Law power, and Immortal Power, but his first attempt at the final connection caused the great sun phantom to collapse.
• Wang Teng recovered his Spirit Power and deduced that the connected routes had to transform together to avoid collapsing.
• Wang Teng adjusted the routes to accommodate their transformations and successfully improved [Heavenly Sun Swordplay] on his tenth attempt.
• Yuan Gungun and Icestis sensed the technique’s powerful aura, and Icestis estimated that it was close to the Venerable Immortal Level.
• Icestis called out to Wang Teng, eager to learn how the battle technique had transformed.

Wang Teng completed the fusion of [Heavenly Sun Swordplay] and [Great Sun Melting Heaven Seal], creating an incomplete Venerable Immortal Level technique that needed more [Ancient Yang Runes]. After discussing its limits with Icestis and Yuan Gungun, he turned to absorb earth-element combat technique insights and found his collection sparse.

• Wang Teng discovered that his fused [Heavenly Sun Seal-Fusion Swordplay] was Venerable Immortal Level but incomplete because he lacked enough [Ancient Yang Runes].
• Wang Teng told Icestis and Yuan Gungun that he had mastered yang-element power casually, then explained that he had gleaned it from a Marquis-level Immortal fighter on the battlefield.
• Icestis urged Wang Teng to continue comprehending yang-element power before she left, and Yuan Gungun soon followed.
• Wang Teng left the Chaos Star Region after finishing his fire-element combat technique insights and moved on to earth-element techniques.
• Wang Teng found only a few high-level earth-element combat techniques in his collection and began absorbing their insights despite his disappointment.

Wang Teng absorbed several Earth Element combat technique insights, including a technique he decided would suit his Void Devouring Beast clone. While studying a Rock Dragon technique, he suspected the Darkness World might have corrupted powerful Dragon Race beings and resolved to warn the Light Universe’s upper echelons.

• Wang Teng absorbed the Small Success World Lord Level Ninefold Earth Spike and learned how its nine waves of heavy, piercing earth spikes attacked enemies.
• Wang Teng absorbed Shake the Earth Strike, learned that it involved smashing boulders into opponents, and decided it would be a perfect match for his Void Devouring Beast clone.
• Wang Teng gained more insight into You Lujin’s Wild Bull Heaven Splitting Axe and noted that You Lujin’s understanding had improved by just over a thousand attribute points.
• Wang Teng studied a Rock Dragon combat technique and noticed similarities between its phantom and the Great Rock Kui Shell Dragon Beast, leading him to suspect they shared Rock Dragon bloodline.
• Wang Teng worried that Darkness Breeds might be hiding or corrupting powerful Light Universe bloodlines, including Dragon Race beings, and decided to warn the Light Universe’s upper echelons despite lacking proof.

Wang Teng refined [Sacred Rock Armor] into a powerful, imposing combat technique and studied several earth-element battle skills. He discovered that [Earth Splitting Star Piercing Fist] relied on a different race’s cultivation system, while [Myriad Mountains Slash] had improved and [Immovable King Wall] revealed a formidable defensive technique.

• Wang Teng modified [Sacred Rock Armor], forming angular armor that amplified his strength and offered powerful defense.
• Wang Teng absorbed the enlightenment for [Earth Splitting Star Piercing Fist] and saw its stone-bodied user shatter a sturdy High-level Planet.
• Wang Teng realized he could not cultivate [Earth Splitting Star Piercing Fist] because the stone man’s energy circulation belonged to a different system, and he suspected he would need its special talent.
• Wang Teng studied [Myriad Mountains Slash] and found that Shi Lao’s mastery had increased its attribute value by over a thousand points.
• Wang Teng absorbed the enlightenment for [Immovable King Wall] and saw an enormous stone wall rise from the void as a powerful defensive battle skill.

Wang Teng studied the Esoteric Buddhism battle technique Immovable King Wall, discovered its connection to the Fatuo Race, and absorbed several earth-element combat techniques. He then turned to the Darkness World techniques and began gaining new Demon Transformation insights.

• Wang Teng found that Immovable King Wall came from the Esoteric Buddhism Civilization and involved visualizing a fearsome Immovable King phantom.
• Wang Teng learned that the Fatuo Race, a blue-skinned people, was a main race of the Esoteric Buddhism Civilization and might have inspired Earth Star's Immovable King image.
• Wang Teng absorbed a Marquis-level Immortal earth-element combat technique that crushed Darkness Breeds and confirmed it contained insights into the Source of Power.
• Wang Teng finished reviewing the earth-element techniques, found no Enfeoffed King Immortal-level technique, and began sorting through Darkness Combat Techniques.
• Wang Teng gained new Demon Transformation insights, including progress toward higher levels of True Demon Transformation, Fusion Demon Transformation, and Calamity Demon Transformation.

Wang Teng absorbed new enlightenment from the Darkness Breeds, deepening his understanding of True Demon Transformation, Fusion Demon Transformation, and Calamity Demon Transformation. He left the chapter astonished by the strange Calamity Origin Law runes that appeared to exist both beyond and within the ninth tier of Calamity Origin.

• Wang Teng recognized that the True Demon Transformation enlightenment came from Soul Eater Demon Venerable, which had used it while resisting the Nightmare Devourer Demon Body’s corruption.
• Wang Teng gained more than ten thousand points in True Demon Transformation and saw that he was only 5,000 points from reaching its seventh rank.
• Wang Teng absorbed Fusion Demon Transformation enlightenment and realized it encompassed more than Calamity Demon Transformation and Calamity Fusion, including fusion transformations involving other powers such as Death Power.
• Wang Teng gained 6,000 points in Fusion Demon Transformation and concluded that its understanding could continue to grow beyond the Calamity Demon Body’s fifth-rank transformation.
• Wang Teng studied Calamity Demon Transformation and recognized its runes as manifestations of the Calamity Origin Law, distinct from Calamity Marks.
• Wang Teng saw that his Calamity Demon Transformation attribute had increased by more than twenty thousand points and wondered how its runes could lie both beyond and within ninth-tier Calamity Origin.
