Chapter Summaries

Chen Fei’s clone discovered that the space beyond the Dragon Subduing Elephant Stone Tablet was a deadly realm filled with powerful Flesh and Blood Eyeballs, but managed to bring back a piece of unusual rotten wood before the clone was destroyed. Chen Fei found that the wood responded to Void energy and began trying to restore it in The Void.

• Chen Fei’s clone resisted the Flesh and Blood Eyeball’s influence with the Xuanyuan Sword’s true spirit, then teleported to collapsed buildings and seized a piece of rotten wood.
• Chen Fei’s clone returned the wood through the Dragon Subduing Elephant Stone Tablet, saw hundreds of Flesh and Blood Eyeballs fill the sky, and turned to ash as Chen Fei shut down the tablet.
• Chen Fei examined the wood and discovered that it reacted to World Vital Energy drawn from The Void, unlike ordinary energy.
• Chen Fei carried the wood to a Void membrane and pressed it into The Void, where Void Power drew out more flowing light and appeared to begin restoring it.

Chen Fei rushed back to Qianyan City after sensing Lei Xiehu and Nie Li were gravely wounded, arriving as five Mid Mountain Sea Realm attackers were about to overwhelm the defenders. He killed Zou Zaoxing and Luo Haiwei with two swift sword strikes, leaving the battle’s outcome unresolved.

• Chen Fei left the Dragon Subduing Elephant Stone Tablet and searched for demons while continuing to restore the spiritual wood in the Space Rift.
• Chen Fei sensed Lei Xiehu and Nie Li had been severely injured and used his avatar in Tingfeng Courtyard to return to Qianyan City at enormous cost to his body and divine soul.
• Five Mid Mountain Sea Realm attackers pressed Zhao Ruizheng, Tang Shouchang, Zhao Tianyue, Ning Bo Zheng, and the two demon kings toward defeat as Qianyan City’s residents watched in despair.
• Chen Fei appeared beside Tang Shouchang, stopped him from burning his life in a final attack, and confronted Zou Zaoxing.
• Chen Fei killed Zou Zaoxing with the Qian Yuan Sword, then swiftly killed Luo Haiwei with a second strike.

Chen Fei returned to Qianyan City in time to kill two Mid Mountain Sea Realm attackers and drive off the other three, then used his spoils to strengthen his resources. As Ji Zhanfeng and Wu Zhankun debated whether Chen Fei’s rapid growth suggested he was a Black God adherent, Chen Fei set out to pursue the fleeing attackers.

• Chen Fei killed two Mid Mountain Sea Realm attackers and let the remaining three escape using Return to Ruin.
• Ji Zhanfeng arrived in Qianyan City, heard Zhao Ruizheng’s report, and left with the other Sacred City deacons.
• Chen Fei used one mass of spiritual essence to raise his clone to the Peak of the Early Mountain Sea Realm and sorted the spoils from the slain attackers.
• Chen Fei estimated that selling the seized weapons could provide enough Myriad Phenomena Bamboo to improve his Divine Blessing talent, then left to pursue the three fugitives.
• Wu Zhankun suspected Chen Fei might be a Black God adherent, but Ji Zhanfeng dismissed the idea because Chen Fei had killed two Mid Mountain Sea Realm cultivators.

Chen Fei tracked the Black God followers to Xuan Yun City and broke into the City Lord Mansion, where he confronted Qu Haifan and the others. He slaughtered the gathered cultivators, including the three Mid Mountain Sea Realm leaders, leaving no one alive to expose their plans.

• Chen Fei used the Divine Protection Dream Entering Art to track the three shadowy figures to Xuan Yun City.
• Qu Haifan, Zhong Qixue, and Xing Bosi discussed hiding the deaths of Luo Haiwei and Zou and planned to kill Chen Fei before he could report them.
• Chen Fei tore through the Golden Light Formation, trapped the group inside the City Lord Mansion, and unleashed his full combat power.
• Chen Fei killed You Chaohong, Wei Guangyu, and two other Early Mountain Sea Realm cultivators as they tried to resist.
• Qu Haifan, Zhong Qixue, and Xing Bosi combined their strength to attack Chen Fei, but he absorbed their blows and killed all three with the Qian Yuan Sword.

Chen Fei killed the Mountain Sea Realm cultivators in Xuan Yun City, discovered and destroyed Qu Haifan’s hidden split soul, then escaped before the Sacred City enforcers arrived. Back in Qianyan City, he counted his spoils and weighed the risks of selling them, while considering how quickly they could advance his cultivation.

• Chen Fei collected the seven slain cultivators’ spiritual essence and treasures, then found Qu Haifan’s hidden split soul in a courtyard and destroyed it.
• Chen Fei left Xuan Yun City and triggered a formation nearby so the Sacred City enforcers would investigate the city and its surviving Black God followers.
• Chen Fei inventoried his spoils in Qianyan City and realized that selling the seven Spiritual Treasures could draw suspicion because of the Black God threat.
• Chen Fei distributed spiritual essence among his own Spiritual Treasures and stored the collected materials and pills, gaining enough resources to exchange for fourteen stalks of Myriad Phenomena Bamboo.
• Chen Fei considered whether rapid breakthroughs would attract the Sacred City enforcers’ attention and wondered if there was news about his Mission Hall task.
• Chen Fei examined a jade slip containing Qu Haifan’s soul-splitting technique, the only inheritance among the spoils that interested him.

Chen Fei fused the Heavenly Fiend Split Soul Art into his clone technique, then sold spiritual treasures and stocked up on Myriad Phenomena Bamboo while waiting for a lead on the Spirit Slaughter Technique. Hao Guoshu took him and two other Mountain Sea Realm cultivators to a strange realm where eerily smiling city dwellers watched them arrive.

• Chen Fei studied the Heavenly Fiend Split Soul Art and fused its soul-strengthening method into the Water Source Shadow Escape Art, giving his clone room to grow stronger.
• Chen Fei sold mid-grade spiritual treasures and other spoils in Qingyun Market, then spent most of his spirit stones on Myriad Phenomena Bamboo.
• Chen Fei learned that Hao Guoshu had accepted his Mission Hall task, while reports of the Sacred City's capture of eight Black God adherents suggested the conflict had shifted.
• Hao Guoshu told Chen Fei he knew where the subsequent Spirit Slaughter Technique inheritance could be found and asked him to help break open a strange realm.
• Chen Fei, Hao Guoshu, and another Mid Mountain Sea Realm cultivator reached a mist-shrouded group of cities, where the inhabitants stopped and stared with faint smiles after Hao Guoshu broke the miasma.

Hao Guoshu led Chen Fei and Gu Zijian into a Ghost City that could not be harmed from the outside, seeking its moving stone tablet and the master’s true body. Inside, Chen Fei recognized the village chief of Mi Village and confronted him, while sensing that the Ghost City had been strengthened by a strange power.

• Hao Guoshu explained that the Ghost City's master was close to breaking through to the Late Fourth Order and that its moving stone tablet could help locate the master’s true body.
• Gu Zijian attacked the Ghost City with the Blood Soul Axe, but the city remained unharmed because it existed within a Space Rift.
• Hao Guoshu, Chen Fei, and Gu Zijian entered the Ghost City, where its miasma suppressed divine soul perception.
• Chen Fei woke in a crowded street, broke through the city’s pressure on his divine soul, and sensed that the Ghost City contained a power resembling the Black God’s.
• Chen Fei recognized the old man as Mi Village’s village chief and mentioned the Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique, making the village chief react with alarm.

Chen Fei exploited the Ghost City's rules by teaching hundreds of strange entities breathing techniques, draining their origins and forcing them to flee. He found a moving stone tablet containing the incomplete Cycle Slaughter Breath Art, but sensed it was influencing his soul.

• Chen Fei offered to teach the strange entities the Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique, then added more techniques as their origins streamed into his hand.
• The strange entities fled when they realized Chen Fei was draining them, while the village chief remained trapped.
• Chen Fei forced the village chief to lead him to a location where a moving stone tablet sometimes appeared.
• Chen Fei used the Divine Protection Dream Entering Art and the Spirit Slaughter Technique's aura to locate and reach the stone tablet.
• Chen Fei read the incomplete Cycle Slaughter Breath Art and sensed that it was silently affecting his soul.

Chen Fei discovered that the Cycle Slaughter Breath Art secretly altered practitioners’ divine souls, so he stripped away the corrupted parts and fused what remained with the Qian Yuan Sword technique. After destroying the stone tablet and using the Black God’s aura to mislead a gaze from beyond the void, he joined Hao Guoshu and Gu Zijian in deciding to retreat and report the ghost city’s danger to the Sacred City.

• Chen Fei found that the Cycle Slaughter Breath Art was cultivating itself and changing his divine soul before he had begun to practice it.
• Chen Fei discarded the altered fragments, fused the remaining technique with the Qian Yuan Sword, and created the Breath Slaying Sword Slaying Profound.
• Chen Fei attacked and shattered the stone tablet, causing a vortex to open and drawing a powerful gaze from beyond the void.
• Chen Fei used the Black God pattern to leave misleading Black God aura at the vortex, then vanished before the gaze could find him.
• The ghost city’s pressure locked onto Chen Fei again, and Hao Guoshu and Gu Zijian joined him as they assessed the city’s powerful master.
• Chen Fei, Hao Guoshu, and Gu Zijian agreed to leave the ghost city and report to the Sacred City.

Chen Fei and his companions escaped the Ghost City, then learned that Song Shangke had died fighting the Black God, leaving the Sacred City fearful of the enemy's strength. After reporting the ghost realm and refining a technique to conceal his aura and combat power, Chen Fei changed his appearance and placed Duan Suizhi's transformed Sparrow Cloud Saber in a shop.

• Gu Zijian used a spirit talisman to open a crack in the ghost realm, allowing Chen Fei, Hao Guoshu, and Gu Zijian to escape.
• Song Shangke pursued the Black God across the Endless Sea, but the Black God suddenly appeared beside him.
• Chen Fei, Hao Guoshu, and Gu Zijian sensed the death of a Fifth Order expert and hurried back to the Sacred City.
• The Sacred City learned that Song Shangke had perished fighting the Black God, whose power could already kill Sun Moon Realm experts.
• Chen Fei, Hao Guoshu, and Gu Zijian reported the Ghost City and received major merit; Chen Fei exchanged his reward for Myriad Phenomena Bamboo and perfected the Breath Slaying Sword Slaying Profound.
• Chen Fei suppressed his aura and cultivation, changed his appearance, and placed Duan Suizhi's transformed Sparrow Cloud Saber on a shop counter.

Chen Fei sold spiritual treasures and bought Myriad Phenomena Bamboo, then used the resulting clones to raise his Divine Protection talent and construct his sixth Divine Palace. He began breaking through the barrier toward the Late Mountain Sea Realm and opened his eyes to a sky full of starlight.

• Chen Fei posed as a forging master and sold several purified spiritual treasures for High-grade Spirit Stones.
• Chen Fei visited other shops, bought forty-eight stalks of Myriad Phenomena Bamboo, and returned to Qianyan City to refine them into clones.
• Chen Fei used the clones to raise his Divine Protection talent to Great Perfection.
• Chen Fei consumed Dragon Breath Pills and completed his sixth Divine Palace, connecting all six Divine Palaces for the first time.
• Chen Fei's divine soul struck the barrier to the next realm, split it open, and entered a place beneath a sky full of starlight.

Chen Fei explored the void for talents and chose Thunderfall, which strengthened his lightning cultivation art and its protection against demons and fiends. After mastering the Purple Heaven Star Radiance Art to Perfection, he activated the Seven Stars Radiance Art and temporarily manifested eight divine palaces, reaching the peak of the Late Mountain Sea Realm.

• Chen Fei discovered that Unceasing Talent and Divine Protection worked together to reduce the soul cost of flying through the void.
• Chen Fei examined Divine Descent, Soul Commander, and Fleeting Glance, then passed up the origin-drawing talents Soaring Dust, Unfettered Edge, and North Wind.
• Chen Fei chose Thunderfall over the other talents he had found and returned to Tingfeng Courtyard's secret chamber.
• Thunderfall resonated with the Purple Heaven Star Radiance Art, improving both and saving Chen Fei the equivalent of eight Myriad Phenomena Clones.
• Chen Fei used twenty-three Myriad Phenomena Clones to raise the Purple Heaven Star Radiance Art to Perfection, strengthening his six divine palaces to Late Mountain Sea Realm level.
• Chen Fei activated the Seven Stars Radiance Art, which manifested two additional illusory divine palaces and brought him to the peak of the Late Mountain Sea Realm.

Chen Fei prepared to attack Jade Spring Valley for its resources, but a Sun Moon Realm cultivator destroyed it first. The sacred lands began purging Black God adherents across the Sacred City, and Chen Fei learned that powerful experts could detect them.

• Chen Fei considered raiding Jade Spring Valley for Myriad Phenomena Clones and planned to strike during an upcoming auction.
• A Sun Moon Realm cultivator shattered Jade Spring Valley's protective formation with a single palm and destroyed the valley.
• Sacred City stewards entered Jade Spring Valley and quickly ended the remaining battle.
• Chen Fei realized the Sun Moon Realm cultivator had taken the resources he hoped to claim and returned to Qianyan City.
• News reached Qianyan City that sacred lands' Sun Moon Realm cultivators were destroying forces harboring Black God adherents.
• Chen Fei suspected the sacred lands had a limited method for detecting Black God marks and noted that his own mark was unusually faint.

Chen Fei used a piece of Void wood to force the Thousand Feathers Alliance altar to activate, drawing a powerful demonic creature named Chi Jun across from the other side. Chi Jun attacked Chen Fei, who answered with his strongest techniques and a vast pillar of thunder.

• Chen Fei stored the Black God mark in a Space Grid and considered using the Void wood to improve the Qian Yuan Sword, sell it, or open the altar early.
• After the Sacred City purge killed hundreds of Black God devotees, Chen Fei left Qianyan City and went to the Thousand Feathers Alliance altar.
• Chen Fei discovered that the demonic creatures had reinforced the altar, then used the Void wood to channel World Vital Energy into it and trigger its activation.
• The Sovereign ordered Chi Jun, his offspring, to cross the altar and kill Chen Fei, promising him a Sin Origin Pearl if he succeeded.
• Chi Jun arrived with the aura of a Late Fourth Order creature and attacked Chen Fei, who unleashed Sword Suppressing Star River and a massive Thunder Pillar.

Chen Fei defeated and killed Chi Jun, an Emperor Venerable Descendant whose powerful bloodline let him survive a devastating sword strike. After extracting Chi Jun’s spiritual essence, Chen Fei sensed a powerful figure beyond the altar watching him and used the Black God’s aura to obscure its gaze.

• Chi Jun used the golden power of his horn to heal his injuries and overdraw his bloodline, but Chen Fei struck him with a massive Seven Stars Radiance Art lightning attack and left him near death.
• Chen Fei tried to enter Chi Jun’s dream to learn where he came from, but Chi Jun’s bloodline blocked the technique, so Chen Fei killed him with the Qian Yuan Sword.
• Chi Jun’s divine soul fled toward the altar, but Chen Fei intercepted and extinguished it with the Xuanyuan Sword, then collected his unusually pure spiritual essence.
• Chen Fei studied the silent altar and saw a powerful figure beyond it, whose presence suggested it was angered by Chi Jun’s death and Chen Fei’s interference.
• Chen Fei crushed a jade bottle, releasing the Black God’s aura to shield himself from the figure’s gaze.

Chen Fei used the Black God's aura to trigger the altar, drawing Su Wenyu and Youying Leopard into pursuit of the Black God's true body, while he discovered that monsters were hiding altar runes inside their bodies and offspring. Back in Sacred City, Chen Fei found a newly raised altar built with a vast quantity of Myriad Phenomena Bamboo.

• Chen Fei activated the altar with the Black God's aura, but the transmission depleted most of its energy and the monsters ended their attempt to send another fighter through.
• Su Wenyu and Youying Leopard pursued the Black God's true body, which lured them away from other Fifth Order powers before Song Shangke appeared beside it and attacked them.
• Chen Fei found that monsters had begun multiplying and concealing active altar runes inside their bodies, especially those of newborns.
• Chen Fei returned to Sacred City and reported the monsters' changes, but received no reward because other cultivators had already discovered them.
• Chen Fei saw a tall altar in Sacred City's center and noticed that its construction used an enormous quantity of Myriad Phenomena Bamboo.

After Black God resurrected the dead Song Shangke as a powerful pawn, the Sun Moon Realm experts prepared a Soul Summoning Altar to recover Song Shangke’s soul fragments and prevent further reincarnations. Chen Fei learned that the holy lands had bought up nearly all the Myriad Phenomena Bamboo in Qingyun Market for the altar, leaving him concerned about his own plans.

• Su Wenyu and the Youying Leopard escaped Black God's attack with severe injuries after Black God used the reincarnated Song Shangke against them.
• Zhan Xuming and the other experts explained that the Soul Summoning Altar would gather Song Shangke's scattered soul fragments and stop Black God from using them to reincarnate him again.
• Su Wenyu noted that Black God's true body had appeared twice and called for an investigation.
• Chen Fei visited Qingyun Market in disguise and learned that the holy lands had bought the shop's Myriad Phenomena Bamboo for the high altar.
• Chen Fei left the market troubled after confirming that nearly all the Myriad Phenomena Bamboo in Qingyun Market had been purchased.

Chen Fei weighed how to make money amid the sacred lands’ purchases driving up spiritual-material prices, then fused Void Wood into the Qian Yuan Sword to raise it toward a high-grade spiritual treasure. Baka emerged from his breakthrough to the third tier with a talent that could manipulate medicinal properties, leaving Chen Fei with a promising new alchemy partner.

• Chen Fei found Myriad Phenomena Bamboo and other spiritual materials scarce and expensive after the sacred lands bought them in bulk, undermining his plans to profit from refining pills.
• Chen Fei decided to fuse Void Wood into the Qian Yuan Sword rather than sell it or use it to upgrade Chi Jun’s saber, and the sword’s spirituality fell dormant as it began its breakthrough.
• Chen Fei visited Baka after sensing that he had awakened from his deep sleep and congratulated him on reaching the early third tier.
• Baka made herbal juice with an innate ability that purified and fused medicinal herbs, prompting Chen Fei to recognize its potential for improving pill refinement.
• Chen Fei asked Baka to separate the medicinal properties in a fourth-tier Snow Cloud Pill, then used monster spiritual essence to interrupt Baka’s power and found that the pill’s medicinal power had increased.

Chen Fei used Baka’s ability to enhance a Nine-Herb Pill and sold it anonymously at Qingyun Market for a huge profit. After refusing Feng Changde’s offers to buy the formula or hire him, Chen Fei sold a blade and went to ask about Myriad Phenomena Bamboo.

• Chen Fei discovered that Baka could infuse spiritual essence into an intact pill, then decided to enhance Nine-Herb Pills for sale.
• Five days later, Chen Fei disguised himself as an old farmer and offered an improved Nine-Herb Pill to Frost Rain Pavilion.
• Wu Xiangling and Feng Changde examined the pill, recognized its extraordinary medicinal power, and offered to buy all the pills and obtain the formula.
• Chen Fei declined Feng Changde’s offers, left with nearly ninety thousand High-grade Spirit Stones, and later sold a blade for eighteen thousand more.
• Chen Fei visited another shop and asked about the price of Myriad Phenomena Bamboo.

Chen Fei bought Myriad Phenomena Bamboo, then traveled to Falling Leaf Mountain to investigate a missing cultivator and encountered two fleeing Mountain Sea Realm cultivators and a Geng Gold Tiger. He killed Rong Huachang after detecting the Black God's aura on him, then defeated the tiger and discovered it was a talking saber transformed from a Spiritual Treasure.

• Chen Fei bought eighteen stalks of Myriad Phenomena Bamboo, spending most of his High-grade Spirit Stones.
• Chen Fei considered ways to delay the Black God's recovery and traveled to Falling Leaf Mountain on a mission to find a missing Grand Elder.
• Chen Fei entered a powerful formation and encountered the injured Rong Huachang and Gong Lianfen fleeing a Geng Gold Tiger.
• Chen Fei detected the Black God's aura on Rong Huachang, killed him, and showed Gong Lianfen the evidence.
• Chen Fei fought the Geng Gold Tiger and defeated it, revealing that it was a Spiritual Treasure in the form of a saber.
