Wang Teng turned Wendell and Long Shisi’s group into unwitting slaves with Bewitchment, planning to use them as spies inside the Parax Family. After returning to the Main Base, Wang Teng attended a meeting about the Tiger Fiend Legion commander position, where Kroftz announced that Wendell had withdrawn.

• Peggy showed Wang Teng three high-grade Signal Jammers that had trapped his group and prevented them from sending signals, and Wang Teng claimed the devices for himself.

• Kroftz left the meeting to contact Wendell, then returned and announced that Wendell had withdrawn, surprising the other contenders.

Wang Teng and Huo Qiya were chosen to duel for the position of Tiger Fiend Legion commander after Wendell withdrew. Huo Qiya insisted he would win, but Wang Teng challenged his confidence as they prepared to fight.

• Huo Qiya recalled his years of service to the Tiger Fiend Legion and resolved not to hand it over to anyone else.
• Huo Qiya said his Universe Level 7th Layer strength guaranteed victory, and Wang Teng asked whether he was so sure.

Wang Teng sparred with Huo Qiya, whose Savage Elephant Body and Universe Level 7th Layer strength made the spectators expect an easy victory. Wang Teng activated both the Ancient God Body and Dragon Blood Battle Body, then defeated Huo Qiya in a direct clash, leaving Kroftz convinced that Wang Teng posed a serious threat to his family.

• Di Qi, Peggy, and the others arrived as Huo Qiya transformed with his Savage Elephant Body, while generals doubted that Stellar Level Wang Teng could defeat him.
• Huo Qiya charged at Wang Teng and brought down a powerful yellow fist imprint.

• Wang Teng shattered Huo Qiya's fist imprint and sent him flying into the arena floor, stunning the spectators and generals.
• Wang Teng remarked that he had used a little too much force, and Kroftz recognized his strength as a threat to his family.

Wang Teng fought Huo Qiya, who unleashed his Savage Elephant Body but still could not match Wang Teng’s strength. Huo Qiya brought out a massive warhammer, and Wang Teng answered with the Overturning Thunder Seal; their weapons collided, making Huo Qiya’s expression change.

• Huo Qiya recovered from Wang Teng’s punch and unleashed his Universe Level 7th Layer power and Savage Elephant Body.
• Wang Teng and Huo Qiya exchanged powerful blows, and Huo Qiya realized Wang Teng’s strength might truly be far beyond what he had first shown.
• Huo Qiya summoned a massive warhammer, while Wang Teng brought out the Overturning Thunder Seal.

• When Huo Qiya tried to get up and surrender, Wang Teng repeatedly struck him with the Overturning Thunder Seal and asked whether he would admit defeat.
• General Mokarun and the other generals declared Huo Qiya’s surrender on his behalf, and Wang Teng finally stopped.

After defeating Huo Qiya, Wang Teng collected his attribute drops and became the new commander of the Tiger Fiend Legion. The generals then proposed him as a military representative for the Empire's Genius Competition, a prospect that worried Kroftz.

• Wang Teng defeated Huo Qiya, who was carried away for treatment, and gathered the attributes he had dropped.
• Wang Teng advanced his Earth Element Starry Sky Source Power, Power of Profound Meaning, Savage Elephant Body, Savage Elephant Hammer, Earth Element Talent, Spirit, and Comprehension.
• General Mokarun told Wang Teng that he would become the Tiger Fiend Legion's commander and that his appointment would be issued soon.
• General Mokarun and the other generals discussed jointly recommending Wang Teng as a military representative for the Empire's Genius Competition, which offered military rewards.
• Kroftz grew gloomy as he realized Wang Teng's participation as a military representative would make it harder for his family to act against him.

Wang Teng exposed General Kroftz’s connection to the failed assassination attempt by presenting footage and a Parax Family token. General Mokarun and the other generals left to take Kroftz to the Military Court, leaving him disgraced and seemingly finished.

• Wang Teng told General Mokarun that martial warriors had attacked him, then revealed that his warship’s recorder had captured the incident.
• Wang Teng played the footage in the command hall, where the attackers identified themselves and Kroftz was implicated.
• Kroftz claimed the attackers had framed him, but Wang Teng produced a Parax Family identity token taken from Long Shisi.
• General Mokarun told Kroftz they would meet at the Military Court, and the generals departed, leaving Kroftz alone in the hall.

After Kroftz was taken to face the Military Court, Wang Teng rested and received his appointment as commander of the Tiger Fiend Legion. He then absorbed more of the Void Devouring Beast’s inherited memories and discovered the Floating Slaughter True Scripture, deciding to cultivate its first three levels despite the technique being incomplete.

• General Mokarun and the others left after Kroftz’s fate was settled, and Wang Teng returned to his residence to sleep.
• Wang Teng received General Mokarun’s appointment making him commander of the Tiger Fiend Legion, along with messages from Peggy and Di Qi.
• After relaxing, Wang Teng absorbed more of the Void Devouring Beast’s inherited memories and learned the Floating Slaughter True Scripture and the innate gift Devouring Heaven and Earth.
• Wang Teng learned that the Floating Slaughter True Scripture could build a Nine Treasures Floating Slaughter Pagoda to attack and defend against spiritual attacks, but required immense Spirit Power and caused severe pain to cultivate.
• Wang Teng discovered that his inherited version contained only the first three of the scripture’s twelve levels, which could be cultivated up to the World Lord Level.
• Wang Teng decided to begin cultivating the incomplete scripture and look for its later levels in the future.

Wang Teng tried to obtain the Devouring Heaven and Earth Divine Power, then visited Fan Bulun to learn how to increase his Light Source Power. Fan Bulun agreed to reveal a planet inhabited by the Light Fuzz Spirits after Wang Teng promised not to harm them.

• Wang Teng learned that Sai Lun remained alive in the Void Devouring Beast's Devouring Space, but discovered he could not use Devouring Heaven and Earth there.
• Wang Teng visited Fan Bulun's laboratory and learned the Demon Egg had become an empty shell after its Darkness Origin disappeared.
• Wang Teng claimed a special Light Combat Technique had erased the Demon Egg's Darkness Origin, and reminded Fan Bulun of his promise to explain how to increase Light Source Power.
• Fan Bulun asked Wang Teng to promise not to harm the natives of a planet with dense Light Source Power, and Wang Teng agreed as long as they did not attack him.
• Fan Bulun revealed that the planet's inhabitants were the Light Fuzz Spirits, whose strongest fighter was a Planetary Level Grand Elder.

After securing a Soul Contract with Wang Teng, Fan Bulun gave him the coordinates of Light Fuzz Planet, and Moira advised him on how to approach its people. Back at his residence, Wang Teng began preparing to cultivate the Floating Slaughter True Scripture by searching for powerful hammers to visualize.

• Fan Bulun gave Wang Teng the coordinates of Light Fuzz Planet after they signed another Soul Contract, and Wang Teng said he would visit later.
• Moira explained that the Light Fuzz Spirits valued Light Source items and needed help with cultivation, and Wang Teng considered how he could assist them.
• Wang Teng returned to his residence on the Twenty-Ninth Defense Star and began cultivating the Floating Slaughter True Scripture.
• Wang Teng entered the Virtual Universe and asked Yuan Gungun to find the universe's strongest hammer-type weapons for his Spirit Hammer visualization.
• Yuan Gungun displayed eight ancient hammers and began explaining their origins to Wang Teng.

Wang Teng chose the legendary pair of Ancient God Race hammers as his visualization objects, named them the Fire God Hammer and Thunder God Hammer, and successfully used them to begin tempering his spirit. As their strikes drew fire and lightning source laws into his Sea of Consciousness, he realized the hammers could strengthen the Nine Treasures Floating Slaughter Pagoda and decided to intensify the process.

• Yuan Gungun showed Wang Teng murals from the mysterious Black Stone Great Hall, including a depiction of two divine hammers associated with the Ancient God Race.
• Wang Teng chose the legendary hammers despite Yuan Gungun's warnings and spent two days visualizing them as the Fire God Hammer and Thunder God Hammer.
• Wang Teng condensed one hundred paired Spirit Hammers in his Sea of Consciousness and used them to temper his Spirit Body.
• As the hammers struck, Wang Teng sensed fire and lightning source laws merging into his spirit and decided to add more power to the tempering.

Wang Teng used the Fire God Hammer and Thunder God Hammer to forge a Nine Treasures Floating Slaughter Pagoda enhanced by origin laws, Strange Fire, and Tribulation Lightning. After completing it, he discovered that the two hammers had survived the tempering and wondered why.

• Wang Teng moved the hundred divine hammers into the Void Devouring Beast clone’s Sea of Consciousness before risking his own with Strange Fire and Tribulation Lightning.
• Wang Teng infused the Fire God Hammer with four Heaven and Earth Strange Fires and the Thunder God Hammer with Heaven and Earth Tribulation Lightning, strengthening both and accelerating the flow of origin law power.
• Wang Teng brought the hammers back to his Sea of Consciousness and endured their fiery and lightning-infused blows as they tempered his Spirit Body and formed the Nine Treasures Floating Slaughter Pagoda.
• By the morning of the third day, Wang Teng’s nine-level pagoda had fully formed, carrying origin law power and the abilities of flames and lightning.
• Wang Teng agreed that he would make a pagoda for the Void Devouring Beast clone later, but postponed the idea so he could report for duty at the Tiger Fiend Legion.
• Wang Teng noticed that the Fire God Hammer and Thunder God Hammer had remained after the other ninety-eight hammers vanished, and wondered why.

Wang Teng completed the tempering of his visualization objects, then set out to take command of the Tiger Fiend Legion and bring Peggy and his other subordinates into it. He arrived at the legion's garrison, where the deputy commanders awaited him with mixed feelings about their new, unusually young commander.

• Wang Teng discovered that his Fire God Hammer and Thunder God Hammer had remained after he dispersed them because they contained origin laws.
• Wang Teng recovered from the painful tempering process, put on his Tiger Fiend Legion uniform, and met Peggy, Ai Wen, and the others at the Training Field.
• Wang Teng led his subordinates toward the Tiger Fiend Legion's garrison, drawing envious attention from people who realized he was bringing them into the legion.
• Sun Junda recognized Wang Teng as the new commander, saluted him, and escorted the group inside despite suspecting that the deputy commanders would object to Wang Teng bringing in his own subordinates.
• At the Training Field, Huo Qiya, Wei Tong, Mo Li, and the other deputy commanders discussed Wang Teng and his appointment before noticing his arrival.

Wang Teng met the Tiger Fiend Legion’s vice commanders and faced the five thousand martial artists’ test of force. He overwhelmed them with his Slaughter Intent, winning their admiration and leaving Mo Li humbled.

• Wang Teng greeted the vice commanders, recognized them by name, and asked Huo Qiya about his injuries from their previous fight.
• Wei Tong invited Wang Teng to address the assembled legion, and the five thousand Stellar Level Martial Artists greeted him with a combined display of their fierce aura.
• Wang Teng unleashed his powerful Slaughter Intent, crushing the legion’s aura and leaving the martial artists unable to speak.
• Wei Tong and the other vice commanders were shaken, while Mo Li’s confidence collapsed and Huo Qiya accepted the gulf between himself and Wang Teng.
• Wang Teng called the legion “Not bad,” then withdrew his aura as the martial artists looked at him with admiration.

Wang Teng took command of the Tiger Fiend Legion and led it out to retake the fallen Thirteenth Defense Line. As the legion set out, the Red Scorpion and Savage Bear Legions had already failed to break through the Darkness Breed defenses at their own targets.

• Wang Teng warned the Tiger Fiend Legion to obey his rules, then announced that their mission was to retake the Thirteenth Defense Line.
• Wang Teng incorporated his subordinates into the legion as a squad led by Ai Wen, while Peggy remained his adjutant.

• Deputy Officer Song reported to General Mokarun that the Red Scorpion and Savage Bear Legions had failed to break through at the Ninth and Seventeenth Frontlines.

Wang Teng and the Tiger Fiend Legion surveyed the fallen Thirteenth Defense Line and planned to use the canyon’s periodic lightning to attack the Darkness Breeds. The chapter ended with Wang Teng revealing that he was a Great Grandmaster-level Rune Master, boosting the legion’s confidence in their plan.

• Wang Teng and the five vice commanders watched footage of a Lower Demon Emperor Level Vampire Darkness Breed forcing Lu Gaoge to withdraw from the Thirteenth Defense Line.
• Wang Teng agreed to hold off the Vampire Darkness Breed while the vice commanders dealt with other powerful enemies.
• Wang Teng invited Peggy to join the discussion, and she proposed using the canyon’s accumulated lightning to weaken the Darkness Breeds.
• Peggy explained that a fifth-rank Great Grandmaster Level lightning-element array would be needed to harness the lightning.
• Wang Teng revealed that he could construct the array himself because he had reached the Great Grandmaster Level in runes, then ordered everyone to prepare.

Wang Teng led ten Rune Grandmasters to prepare the Profound Heaven Thunder Sword Grand Array in Angolo Grand Canyon before the Accumulated Thunder Land formed. The Rune Grandmasters assisted him with the array, and three days passed as preparations continued.

• Wang Teng gathered the Tiger Fiend Legion’s ten Rune Grandmasters and announced that they would set up the fifth-rank Great Grandmaster Level Profound Heaven Thunder Sword Grand Array.
• Wang Teng recognized Grandmaster Pickman, who had once slighted him on Emperor Star, but dismissed the old grudge and explained that he would lead the array’s construction.
• Wang Teng reassured the Rune Grandmasters that they would assist while he handled the array core, then led them toward Angolo Grand Canyon without the rest of the legion.
• Wang Teng concealed the group’s auras, surveyed the canyon, chose a suitable location, and began setting up the array while guiding the Rune Grandmasters through their work.
• Three days passed as Wang Teng and the Rune Grandmasters continued preparing the array.

Wang Teng’s Tiger Fiend Legion waited for the thunder needed to activate its newly completed Profound Heaven Thunder Sword Grand Array while other legions won major battles. With the thunder still absent and pressure mounting, Wang Teng faced calls to attack directly.

• Wang Teng and ten Rune Grandmasters completed the Profound Heaven Thunder Sword Grand Array, and Wang Teng ordered the legion to prepare for the coming thunder.
• Wang Teng learned that Red Scorpion and Savage Bear had launched attacks and inflicted heavy losses on the Darkness Breed.
• As the sky remained calm for several days, Wang Teng warned his officers that the Darkness Breed might exploit their vigilance and told them to stay prepared.
• Red Scorpion and Savage Bear captured the Ninth Defense Line and the Seventeenth Defense Line, while Wang Teng’s forces remained inactive and drew criticism from headquarters.
• Ji Lu told Wang Teng she had informed headquarters of their plan, and Wei Tong asked whether they should attack directly.

Wang Teng waited for the expected thunderfall before committing the Tiger Fiend Legion to battle. After a Vampire Darkbreed named Torbey killed a subordinate at the Thirteenth Defense Line, Wang Teng sensed Thunder Power gathering and announced that the thunder would descend that afternoon.

• Wang Teng rejected deploying the troops and told Yuan Gungun he would focus on reducing casualties despite the pressure of the Main Base's evaluation.
• As the fifth day ended without thunder, unrest spread through the Tiger Fiend Legion.
• At the Thirteenth Defense Line, Torbey killed a Vampire Darkbreed who reported that the human forces had been outside for six days, then wondered whether Huntington and Yorkser had departed.
• On the sixth morning, Wang Teng sensed Thunder Power gathering and predicted that thunder would arrive that afternoon.
• Wei Tong and the deputy commanders learned that Wang Teng could sense Thunder Element Source Power and hurried to prepare the troops.
