Chapter Summaries

Chen Fei and the other prodigies were drawn toward a half portion of seventeenth-order low-grade status spiritual material inside a nine-layer trial barrier in the Blazing Sun World. Tang Yin chose to retreat, but Chen Fei pressed through the barriers as He Jinchuan arrived outside the arena.

• A spiritual material’s aura appeared, drawing Chen Fei and the other heavenly prodigies toward its location.

• Chen Fei entered the trial passage, endured the escalating pressures of its first eight layers, and reached the innermost deep-purple layer.
• He Jinchuan appeared outside the platform as Chen Fei advanced through the ninth layer’s crushing pressure.

Chen Fei took a half portion of Seventeenth Order Low-grade Status Spiritual Material and fought He Jinchuan to a stalemate in the ninth-layer region. As their battle continued, Ling Qingxue and Zhan Wuji arrived, both drawn by the spiritual material.

• He Jinchuan charged into the ninth-layer region to challenge Chen Fei and seize the spiritual material.
• Chen Fei took the half-crystal, whose aura spread throughout Blazing Sun World, and decided to stay and fight rather than flee.

• Chen Fei drove the Myriad Transformations Return to Truth Spirit Mirror to its limit, and his Return to Ruins Manifestation abruptly contracted.

Chen Fei used the ninth region’s rules and Ling Qingxue’s icy power to strengthen himself while fighting Zhan Wuji, He Jinchuan, and Ling Qingxue. He Jinchuan was repeatedly battered, Zhan Wuji was driven back, and Chen Fei ended the chapter with all three opponents under pressure.

• Zhan Wuji urged Ling Qingxue and He Jinchuan to join forces against Chen Fei, who was growing stronger by devouring the ninth region’s rule power.

• Chen Fei repelled Zhan Wuji, Ling Qingxue, and He Jinchuan as cultivators in the Divine Capital watched their three-on-one fight turn against them.
• Wen Muheng and Yu Jinyan arrived at the ninth-layer region, saw Chen Fei's advantage, and joined Zhan Wuji's group in surrounding him.

• Yu Jinyan tried to block Chen Fei's halberd with her Mandarin Duck Axes, but the weapons shattered and she was severely injured.
• The Blazing Sun World's rules teleported Yu Jinyan out, making her the first person eliminated from the battle.

Chen Fei defeated the encircling competitors in the Ninth Layer Region, eliminating Yu Jinyan, Zhan Wuji, and He Jinchuan while Wen Muheng and Ling Qingxue fled. His overwhelming performance stunned the Divine Capital, where spectators began wondering whether he could win the Myriad Sect Grand Competition.

• After Chen Fei eliminated Yu Jinyan, Wen Muheng tried to flee, but Chen Fei caught him and shattered his defensive sword curtain with a halberd strike.

• Zhan Wuji and He Jinchuan were eliminated, while Ling Qingxue survived with severe injuries and escaped.
• Chen Fei’s power weakened after the strike, and spectators in the Divine Capital celebrated his defeat of three prodigies and discussed his chances of taking first place.

After Chen Fei’s victory made him the presumed champion, Ling Qingxue and Tang Yin agreed to gather the remaining prodigies and attack him together. Outside the Ninth Layer Region, Chen Fei quietly absorbed the Blazing Sun World’s Origin Power.

• Cultivators in the Divine Capital predicted Chen Fei would win the competition after he defeated his opponents, while a purple-gold-robed figure watched from deep within the Blazing Sun World.
• Ling Qingxue escaped to a barren Gobi desert, treated her injuries, and reflected on Chen Fei’s ability to control the Ninth Layer Region’s Origin Power.
• Tang Yin found Ling Qingxue and explained that he had not joined the battle because Chen Fei’s halberd strike could have eliminated him as well.
• Tang Yin argued that Chen Fei’s greatest strength came from the Ninth Layer Region’s special environment and proposed gathering the remaining prodigies to eliminate him together.
• Ling Qingxue accepted Tang Yin’s plan, prompting uproar among Divine Capital cultivators as the heavenly screen showed them joining forces against Chen Fei.
• Chen Fei remained outside the Ninth Layer Region and absorbed pale-red strands of the Blazing Sun World’s Origin Power.

Chen Fei used his grasp of the Blazing Sun World's Origin Power to teleport from the dissipating Ninth Layer Region to a newly awakened Status Spiritual Material and claimed the second half. Ling Qingxue, Tang Yin, Yuwen Xuan, and the other prodigies debated how to confront him, knowing that fighting him near the region's Origin Power could be disastrous.

• Chen Fei sensed the new half of a seventeenth-order Low-grade Status Spiritual Material and used the Blazing Sun World's returning Origin Power to teleport directly to it.
• Chen Fei passed through the nine layers of barriers with ease and stood before the new spiritual material as cultivators in the Divine Capital watched.
• Ling Qingxue, Tang Yin, and the other gathered prodigies realized that Chen Fei might already have obtained the new half, joining it with the one he carried.
• Tang Yin warned the group not to attack Chen Fei near the Origin Power-rich region and urged them to lure him away or wait until he left.
• Yuwen Xuan questioned what they could do if Chen Fei stayed inside the Ninth Layer Region, and Tang Yin suggested either trying to draw him out or abandoning the group plan and competing among themselves.

Chen Fei obtained a complete seventeenth order low-grade Status Spiritual Material and learned he could leave the Blazing Sun World or stay to fight for another. As Ling Qingxue and five other prodigies rushed to stop him, the world restricted his access to its Origin Power, leaving Chen Fei to weigh a risky fight against a safe retreat.

• Ling Qingxue, Tang Yin, Yuwen Xuan, Zheng Yan, Shang Chi, and Jiang Linyuan agreed to join forces against Chen Fei and flew toward him.
• Chen Fei merged the two halves of the Status Spiritual Material, gained a complete seventeenth order low-grade Status Spiritual Material, and discovered he could return to the Divine Capital.
• The Blazing Sun World announced that competitors with a complete Status Spiritual Material could keep fighting for a second one, prompting the six prodigies to hurry toward Chen Fei.
• Chen Fei noticed that the Blazing Sun World had weakened his connection to its Origin Power and considered whether to leave safely or stay and risk losing his prize.
• Cultivators watching in the Divine Capital saw Chen Fei's access to the Origin Power disappear and worried that he would be unable to withstand the six prodigies.

Chen Fei tried to use his complete seventeenth-order Low-grade Status Spiritual Material and a vast formation array to regain access to the Blazing Sun World's Great Dao Origin after the world blocked his connection. As his array began to collapse, the cultivators watching realized he was attempting to borrow the world's Origin Power again, while Ling Qingxue and the others advanced to attack him.

• Ling Qingxue, Tang Yin, Zheng Yan, Shang Chi, Jiang Linyuan, and Yuwen Xuan sensed that their connection to the Blazing Sun World's Great Dao Origin had weakened, and Tang Yin suspected Chen Fei had caused it.
• The six concluded that Chen Fei might have lost his ability to borrow the world's Origin Power and resumed their pursuit, though Ling Qingxue urged caution.
• Chen Fei examined his newly fused Status Spiritual Material and reasoned that its Origin Power might let him bypass the world's restriction without damaging the material.
• Chen Fei used the Eternal Void Time Array Canon and the Myriad Transformations Return to Truth Spirit Mirror to spread a vast array across several hundred thousand li and probe for a way to reach the world's Origin Power.
• As Chen Fei increased the array's power, its patterns and smaller formations began to break apart, prompting confusion among the cultivators watching from the Divine Capital.
• The watching cultivators realized Chen Fei was trying to borrow the Blazing Sun World's Origin Power through the Status Spiritual Material and his array.

Chen Fei used the status spiritual material as a bridge to draw on the Blazing Sun World's Origin Power, after his first, enormous formation collapsed. As Yuwen Xuan and five other Half-Step Heavenly Lords charged him, Chen Fei activated a compact formation and successfully tapped the world’s origin.

• Chen Fei attempted to use a vast formation to leverage the Blazing Sun World’s Origin Power, alarming the cultivators watching the competition.
• Tang Yin sensed Chen Fei’s formation as Yuwen Xuan and the other five approached, and Yuwen Xuan decided they would attack together.
• Chen Fei’s enormous formation collapsed in a devastating energy tide, leading many spectators and the approaching cultivators to believe his attempt had failed.
• Yuwen Xuan led Ling Qingxue, Tang Yin, Zheng Yan, Shang Chi, and Jiang Linyuan in a charge toward Chen Fei.
• Chen Fei opened his eyes and formed a smaller, denser formation around the status spiritual material, successfully drawing the Blazing Sun World’s Origin Power.

Chen Fei used the Status Spiritual Material to regain access to the Great Dao’s Origin Power, then overwhelmed Yuwen Xuan and the other five prodigies in battle. Though badly injured and near defeat, Yuwen Xuan refused to withdraw and prepared to fight on.

• Chen Fei compressed his formation around the Status Spiritual Material and used it to draw Origin Power into himself, shocking Yuwen Xuan, the other prodigies, and the watching cultivators.
• Chen Fei attacked Yuwen Xuan, while Ling Qingxue, Tang Yin, and the others launched a combined assault; Chen Fei swept their attacks aside and sent all six opponents flying.
• Chen Fei pursued Yuwen Xuan and broke through the others’ joint defense, leaving Yuwen Xuan gravely wounded and his Heavenly Sword’s light extinguished.
• Yuwen Xuan remained in the Blazing Sun World despite his injuries, stood up, and poured his remaining power into the Heavenly Sword.

Chen Fei defeated the remaining prodigies and won the Myriad Sect Grand Competition. He was transported back to the Divine Capital as the champion, where the competition’s conclusion was announced.

After winning the Myriad Sect Grand Competition, Chen Fei accepted Zhang Duchuan’s rewards and refined a seventeenth-order Status Spiritual Material, breaking through to the Profound Dome Heavenly Lord Realm. Cao Feiyu also broke through, and the two prepared to visit the Divine Capital’s cultivation art hall to study its seventeenth-order inheritances.

• Chen Fei returned to the Dan Chen Sect residence as champion, and Zhang Duchuan rewarded him with two Chaos Heaven Stones and urged him to refine his Status Spiritual Material under protection.

• Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu left the Technique Hall and wandered through the Divine Capital, visiting shops and admiring its unusual goods and creatures.
• While Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu watched Ice Glaze Fish at the Myriad Spirit Pavilion, Shen Zhao of the Heavenly Derivation Bureau approached Chen Fei and introduced himself.

Chen Fei heard the Heavenly Derivation Bureau’s offer to recruit him and Cao Feiyu, including a Heavenly Lord divine weapon for each, and learned that its campaigns centered on the dangerous Chaos Heaven Domain. After delaying his decision until he could consult the Dan Chen Sect, he returned with Cao Feiyu, forged two new supreme-grade seventeenth-order cultivation techniques, and discovered that the Void Return Realm had advanced to a lower-grade seventeenth-order plane.

• Shen Zhao invited Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu to join the Heavenly Derivation Bureau and promised each a customized low-grade Heavenly Lord divine weapon.
• Chen Fei asked Shen Zhao about the bureau’s campaigns and learned that the Chaos Heaven Domain held rare treasures and Status Spiritual Materials but posed deadly risks.
• Chen Fei told Shen Zhao he would return to the Dan Chen Sect and consider the offer, while Cao Feiyu insisted she would accompany him wherever he went.
• Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu toured the Divine Capital before returning to their residence, where Cao Feiyu studied the Nine Heavens Profound Frost Sword Art.

After returning to the Dan Chen Sect as the Myriad Sect Grand Competition champion, he claimed sect rewards, collected physique and soul inheritances, and reunited with Wei Zhongqian, Le Boyang, and Kuang Lingyun.

• The Night Demon War Soldier helped refine the Chaos Heaven Stone, while Chen Fei converted Dao crystals into Chaos Dao Crystals and then delegated the repetitive work to the soldier.
• Chen Fei simplified the Heaven Swallowing Creation Art and Myriad Soul Origin Art, gaining insights that raised both techniques’ proficiency close to Minor Accomplishment.
