Chapter Summaries

Cao Feiyu brought Chen Fei to the Scripture Depository and explained ways to address the weak Dao Domain caused by the Heaven Origin Art. After studying outlines for two time-and-space techniques, Chen Fei faced her advice to reconsider his cultivation path and rebuild his foundation.

• Cao Feiyu took Chen Fei to the Scripture Depository’s third floor, where Great Cang Realm methods and secret techniques were kept.
• Cao Feiyu described using powerful Taicang Divine Weapons or the paths of puppets and Beast Taming to compensate for a weak Dao Domain.
• Cao Feiyu showed Chen Fei the Eternal Void Time Array Canon, which borrowed power from arrays planted in the void, past, and future to avoid clashing directly with an opponent’s Dao Domain.
• Chen Fei read the outline of the Indestructible True Nature Spirit Light Mirror, a divine soul art that complemented the array canon, and Cao Feiyu named Luo Qizhang as the only disciple to make progress in both.
• Cao Feiyu mentioned the lost Heavenly Emperor Origin Book as a possible way to repair the Heaven Origin Art’s flaws, then urged Chen Fei to re-cultivate a more orthodox Sixteenth Order method while his foundation was still new.

Chen Fei chose the Eternal Void Time Array Canon, the Indestructible True Nature Spirit Light Mirror, and the Dao Ruins True Return Body despite Cao Feiyu’s warnings about their difficulty. After studying the inheritances, he used his panel to fuse and simplify the techniques as the Void Return Realm completed its transformation into a Sixteenth Order Low Grade plane.

• Chen Fei thanked Cao Feiyu for her advice, then chose all three inheritances, including the exceptionally difficult Dao Ruins True Return Body.

• Chen Fei read through all three inheritances over several days and recorded them in his panel as techniques he had not yet initiated.
• The Void Return Realm completed its transformation into a Sixteenth Order Low Grade plane, and Chen Fei fused the Dao Ruins True Return Body and Eternal Void Time Array Canon with his existing techniques.
• Chen Fei simplified the techniques, spending a total of 1.67 million Dao Crystals.

Chen Fei completed his initial cultivation of the Dao Ruins True Return Body, gaining a brief but powerful Dao Ruins True Body combat form before beginning the Heavenly Karma Universe Record to strengthen his divine soul. Outside Kun Abyss, the Blazing Sun Immortal Dynasty and gathered sects waited for a passage into the newly exposed Ancient Heavenly Court Ruins to stabilize.

• Chen Fei simplified the three cultivation techniques into Divine Palace Undying, Dao Array Heavenly Pivot Law, and Heavenly Karma Universe Record, then used Divine Palace Undying to cultivate the Dao Ruins True Return Body.
• The Blazing Sun Immortal Dynasty inspector declined to impose new regulations on the gathered sects and told his deputy that each faction could rely on its own abilities within Kun Abyss.
• The factions watched the unstable vortex in Kun Abyss's ninth layer, where an Ancient Heavenly Court Ruins fragment was merging with the abyss and might soon form an entrance.
• Chen Fei finished cultivating the Dao Ruins True Return Body, whose Great Perfection mastery let him briefly merge his Dao Domain into his body for around a dozen breaths.
• Chen Fei began circulating the Heavenly Karma Universe Record to strengthen his divine soul and potentially extend the time he could maintain the Dao Ruins True Body form.

Chen Fei perfected two Great Cang Realm techniques, strengthening his divine soul and mastering spacetime arrays, then advanced to the peak of the Great Cang Realm Early Stage. After learning a basic forging inheritance, he began upgrading his Array Puppet while cultivating the Sixteenth Order Heaven Origin Art.

Chen Fei disguised the strength of his Dao Ruins True Return Body as an ordinary Heaven Origin Art cultivation and completed the upgrade of his Array Puppet to Sixteenth Order Low Grade. He entered the Great Cang Realm arena to test his strength, where he was matched against Fu Xingjian, a former ninth-ranked Heaven Origin Ranking prodigy.

• Chen Fei stored the Dao Domain power his simulated Heaven Origin Art could not control in the Space Grid, leaving behind a convincing disguise of a newly advanced Great Cang Realm cultivator.
• Chen Fei and the Night Demon War Soldier upgraded the Array Puppet to Sixteenth Order Low Grade and inscribed the foundations for Sixteenth Order arrays.

• Fu Xingjian appeared as Chen Fei's opponent, and spectators identified him as a former ninth-ranked Heaven Origin Ranking prodigy.

Chen Fei faced Fu Xingjian, a former ninth-ranked Heaven Origin Ranking cultivator, in the Life and Death Arena and overwhelmed him with the power of the Qian Yuan Halberd and his Dao Ruins True Return Body. After Chen Fei challenged Fu Xingjian to sign a Life and Death Contract, Fu Xingjian erupted in Heaven Swallowing Demonic Flame.

• Fu Xingjian summoned a three-pronged fork and urged Chen Fei to admit defeat, confident that Chen Fei could not beat him.

• Chen Fei taunted Fu Xingjian and offered to sign a Life and Death Contract, provoking Fu Xingjian to ignite his Heaven Swallowing Demonic Flame.

Chen Fei overcame Fu Xingjian on the Life and Death Arena despite Fu Xingjian burning his Dao Domain to boost his strength. Fu Xingjian conceded and vowed to challenge Chen Fei again, unaware that Chen Fei had entered the Great Cang Realm only days earlier.

• Fu Xingjian used Heaven Swallowing Burning Domain, burning his Dao Domain to increase his combat strength, and attacked Chen Fei with a pillar of black flames.
• Chen Fei revealed his Dao Domain as armor and matched Fu Xingjian’s enhanced attacks through superior control of the Dao Ruins True Return Body.

• Fu Xingjian conceded and disappeared from the arena, then Chen Fei reflected that Fu Xingjian had mistaken him for a veteran even though he had reached the Great Cang Realm only days earlier.

Chen Fei defeated Liao Huagu with the Array Puppet and Eternal Void Time Array Canon, then won several more duels in the Training Ground. He left the arena after the Array Puppet sustained damage, concluding that its materials and forging techniques needed improvement.

After winning nine consecutive Life and Death Arena matches, Chen Fei repaired his Array Puppet and considered saving source points for stronger cultivation and forging inheritances. Fan Yueze challenged him to a Blood Battle Arena duel, but Chen Fei declined after learning Fan Yueze had a thirty-one-match winning streak; Fan Yueze then resolved to grow stronger and eventually prove himself.

• Chen Fei tallied his rewards from nine consecutive victories and repaired the Array Puppet, noting that he needed to improve both it and his Dao Ruins True Return Body.
• Fan Yueze sent Chen Fei a designated challenge to fight in the Blood Battle Arena for one hundred source points.
• Chen Fei learned Fan Yueze had thirty-one consecutive victories and declined the challenge, calling it an attempt to use the strong to bully the weak.
• Fan Yueze learned Chen Fei had refused and recalled that he wanted to defeat the cultivator who had beaten Fu Xingjian, after Fu Xingjian had declined Fan Yueze's own challenge.
• Fan Yueze accepted the refusal as a reason to become stronger and remained confident he could surpass Chen Fei.

Fan Yueze raised his wager against Chen Fei, who countered by staking all 1,192 of his Source Points and challenged Fan Yueze to match it. After reviewing Chen Fei’s duel recordings, Fan Yueze learned that his Inner Scenery All Heavens Divine Treasury had reached the seventh layer and revealed that the sect had given him the Heaven-Piercing Ruler.

• Fan Yueze raised the challenge wager from one hundred to three hundred Source Points and sent the letter to Chen Fei.
• After studying Fan Yueze’s recent duels, Chen Fei accepted only if the wager rose to all 1,192 of his Source Points, then opened the recordings of his nine victories for Fan Yueze to view.
• Fan Yueze watched Chen Fei defeat Fu Xingjian and win eight other duels through arrays, then received Chen Fei’s message asking whether he would accept the duel.
• You Li watched the recordings and warned Fan Yueze that Chen Fei was likely hiding strength, but Fan Yueze said he had also held back.
• Fan Yueze told You Li he had comprehended the seventh layer of the Inner Scenery All Heavens Divine Treasury and received the Heaven-Piercing Ruler from his sect.

• Chen Fei summoned the Qian Yuan Halberd from the Array Puppet and swung upward to meet Fan Yueze’s attack.

Chen Fei faced Fan Yueze’s Heaven-Piercing Ruler, whose Space Lock kept them apart while its power endlessly replicated Fan Yueze’s attacks. As Chen Fei defended against the storm, he identified the hidden Void Anchor Points behind the replications and began to discern a way to counter them.

• Chen Fei shattered a ruler phantom, but the Heaven-Piercing Ruler automatically replicated it and locked the distance between him and Fan Yueze.
• Fan Yueze unleashed replicated Blood Fiend Thunder, ruler phantoms, and demonic flames, trapping Chen Fei beneath a barrage of attacks.

• Chen Fei used the Qian Yuan Halberd to strike the hidden anchor points in the void, stopping the Heaven-Piercing Ruler’s wave of replicated attacks.
• Fan Yueze and the spectators were shocked that Chen Fei had broken the Taicang Mysterious Treasure’s core ability without possessing a Mystic Treasure.

• Fan Yueze shattered the halberd light with the Heaven-Piercing Ruler, but Chen Fei’s Void Mirror replicated it beside him.
• Fan Yueze dodged and destroyed the replicated halberd light, yet lost his composure and glared at Chen Fei in fury.

Fan Yueze empowered the Heaven-Piercing Ruler with his seventh-level Dao Domain and unleashed the Four Sacred Beasts to overwhelm Chen Fei. Chen Fei briefly escaped the ruler’s distance lock and charged through the Four Symbols’ formation, leaving Fan Yueze’s phantoms attacking to seal off every route around him.

• Fan Yueze summoned the Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Azure Dragon, and White Tiger with the Heaven-Piercing Ruler, then used the ruler itself as the source for further replicated attacks.
