Chapter Summaries

Chen Fei accepted Qiong’s trial to learn the Sky Dome Lock in exchange for having the Qian Yuan Sword and Hidden Origin Bell upgraded. After Chen Fei mastered the secret art in minutes, Qiong briefly overcame his corruption and used Azure Vault Hall’s power to forge both treasures before disappearing.

• Chen Fei agreed to Qiong’s trial after Qiong promised to upgrade the Qian Yuan Sword and Hidden Origin Bell into Creation Profound Treasures within two days.
• Chen Fei simplified the Sky Dome Lock into the Sky Dome Domain and rapidly cultivated the secret art, manifesting it after a quarter of an hour.
• Chen Fei’s accomplishment awakened Qiong’s true nature, and Qiong apologized for acting under heart anomaly corruption.
• Qiong poured Azure Vault Hall’s power into forging the two treasures and gave Chen Fei the complete eighth-tier Heaven Suppressing before vanishing.
• After ten hours, Qiong completed the Qian Yuan Sword and Hidden Origin Bell as powerful Creation Profound Treasures, and Azure Vault Hall disappeared.
• Chen Fei bid Qiong farewell, took the treasures, and vanished from the canyon.

Chen Fei studied eighth-order Heaven Suppressing and discovered he could cultivate it alongside the seventh-order technique, but simplifying it required one hundred thousand high-grade spirit crystals. He headed for a nearby Eighth Order Creation Realm cave abode to find the funds and arrived to find a crowd already gathered there.

• Qiong sacrificed the Azure Vault Hall's essence to forge the Qian Yuan Sword and Hidden Origin Bell into Creation Profound Treasures, then vanished with the hall.
• Chen Fei studied eighth- and ninth-order Heaven Suppressing and concluded that his panel could cultivate eighth-order particle training before he completed the seventh-order technique.
• Chen Fei tried to simplify eighth-order Heaven Suppressing, but the panel demanded one hundred thousand high-grade spirit crystals, far more than he possessed.
• Chen Fei followed his karmic connection to Wen Yingqi toward the cave abode of a fallen Eighth Order Creation Realm cultivator.
• Chen Fei reached the cave abode and saw hundreds of Heaven Opening Realm cultivators, six Creation Realm experts, and Wen Yingqi, who noticed him.

Chen Fei entered an eighth-tier cave abode with hundreds of Heaven Opening Realm cultivators and six Creation Realm experts, then searched its failing formation for high-grade spirit crystals. After collecting crystals worth about fifty thousand, he headed to the central mountain, where the remaining array eyes were concentrated, and found a battle underway.

• Bu Bingzhen learned from Wen Yingqi that Chen Fei had injured him and dismissed the warning, confident in the backing of Bu Changyin, a Creation Realm expert.
• The six Creation Realm experts entered the cave abode first, and the Heaven Opening Realm cultivators surged in after them.
• Chen Fei avoided the central mountain and used his perception of the failing formation to locate its array eyes and uncover high-grade spirit crystals.
• Chen Fei searched across the cave abode, collecting crystals worth about fifty thousand while leaving some in each array eye to keep the formation from deteriorating further.
• Chen Fei followed the formation patterns to the central mountain and found a battle underway near its remaining array eyes.

Chen Fei was pulled into a dispute over a medicinal field and revealed overwhelming strength when he shattered the pavilion’s restrictions and repelled Geng Jingrong’s group. As they fled, Chen Fei appeared before Hong Qing and slapped him.

• Geng Jingrong demanded that Xiao Hua, Hong Qing, and Duan Xuanzhi hand over the spiritual plants they had collected.
• Hong Qing tried to draw Chen Fei into the fight, while Geng Jingrong’s group enclosed him with saber light and warned him not to leave.
• Chen Fei ignored both sides’ pleas and charged toward the pavilion, kicking its restrictions apart as a sword shield blocked the three Mid Heaven Opening Realm cultivators’ attacks.
• Geng Jingrong and his companions fled after realizing Chen Fei was an overwhelming opponent.
• Chen Fei appeared before Hong Qing and slapped him before Xiao Hua and the others could escape.

Chen Fei killed Hong Qing, Xiao Hua, Duan Xuanzhi, Geng Jingrong, and two other cultivators before opening an array eye and finding high-grade spirit crystals. At the cave abode’s central hall, six Creation Realm cultivators broke through its restrictions, and the supposedly lifeless figure beside a Taichang Pill suddenly attacked Nie Hongdian.

• Chen Fei killed Hong Qing, Xiao Hua, and Duan Xuanzhi, then slew Geng Jingrong and the other two cultivators who had attacked him.
• Chen Fei absorbed the six cultivators’ spiritual essence, took their Heaven Opening Profound Treasures, and opened an array eye to collect high-grade spirit crystals.
• Chen Fei noticed the array eye did not repair itself, concealed its opening, and left the medicinal field.
• Six Creation Realm cultivators broke through the central great hall’s restrictions and found a motionless figure, an ancient sword, and a Taichang Pill.
• Nie Hongdian seized the Taichang Pill, but the motionless figure raised its head and pierced Nie Hongdian’s abdomen.

Ge Shida revealed that he had used the Time Rule and the cave abode’s formation to trap six Creation Realm cultivators, hoping to drain their strength and attempt the Ninth Order Supreme Realm again. He killed Nie Hongdian and absorbed his origin, but Bu Changyin and the others broke free of his time distortion and attacked him.

• Nie Hongdian struck Ge Shida’s withered arm, but Ge Shida’s restrictions trapped Nie Hongdian, Bu Changyin, and the other five Creation Realm cultivators inside the cave abode.
• Ge Shida restored his appearance, identified himself, and explained that he had lured the cultivators here to borrow their strength for another attempt at the Ninth Order Supreme Realm.
• Ge Shida revealed that he had comprehended part of the Time Rule after his failed breakthrough and had waited a thousand years for the cultivators he foresaw to arrive.
• Bu Changyin and the other five blocked Ge Shida’s attack on the injured Nie Hongdian, but Ge Shida retrieved his longsword by distorting the flow of time.
• Ge Shida pierced Nie Hongdian’s head with the longsword and absorbed his origin, while Bu Changyin and the other five broke free of the Time Rule’s distortion and attacked Ge Shida.

As the cave abode’s eighth-tier formation transformed and sealed the Heaven Opening Realm cultivators in separate areas, Chen Fei escaped the central mountain by exploiting the Qian Yuan Sword’s space characteristic and the karma rule. He reached the sealed entrance just as a second Creation Realm expert fell at the summit.

• The cave abode’s formation surged, concealing its patterns and trapping Heaven Opening Realm cultivators in separate areas, while Chen Fei realized the Creation Realm experts would face the source of the change.
• After a Creation Realm expert fell, Chen Fei cut through his local barrier, evaded the formation’s attempt to drag him back, and used the karma rule to find a weak point in the mountain’s outer restriction.
• Chen Fei escaped the central mountain’s restrictions, startling Wen Yingqi, Bu Bingzhen, and the other Heaven Opening Realm cultivators who witnessed his breakthrough.
• Chen Fei reached the cave abode’s sealed entrance, then saw the rules resonate again as a second Creation Realm expert fell.

Ge Shida fought Bu Changyin and three other Creation Realm cultivators while using the Time Rule to turn their overwhelming attacks against them. Chen Fei endured the cave abode’s shifting restrictions and reached its entrance, where he struck at the barrier.

• The second Creation Realm cultivator fell, prompting the trapped cultivators to reconsider their hopes of escaping through the central mountain peak.
• Ge Shida battled Bu Changyin and three Creation Realm cultivators, using his movement technique and the Time Rule to evade and pressure them.
• Ge Shida shifted the cave abode’s entrance and dragged Chen Fei into its rotating restrictions as Chen Fei tried to escape.
• Ge Shida explained that Supreme Realm experts pursued the Time Rule, then used the Heavenly Nether Sword to turn the four cultivators’ attacks back against them.
• Chen Fei resisted the cave abode’s pulling force, used the Qian Yuan Sword to briefly stabilize space, and moved to the entrance with the Space Rule and Karma Rule.
• Chen Fei struck the cave abode entrance restrictions with the Qian Yuan Sword.

Chen Fei escaped Ge Shida’s cave abode and returned to the Sky-Reaching Tree, then cultivated eighth-order Heaven Suppressing to conceal his strength. He left the chapter testing that concealment by submitting resentful spirit essence to the Sky-Reaching Tree while appearing to be an Early Heaven Opening Realm cultivator.

• Chen Fei used the Qian Yuan Sword and stored killing moves to break through the cave abode’s restriction and escape while Ge Shida continued attacking Bu Changyin and the other three.
• Chen Fei flew back to the Sky-Reaching Tree’s barrier in two hours, avoiding further danger and carrying early seventh-order resentful spirit essence.
• Chen Fei traveled far beyond the barrier, simplified eighth-order Heaven Suppressing, and used spiritual essence to advance his cultivation and condense more fire and wind rules.
• Chen Fei discovered that eighth-order Heaven Suppressing let him control every particle of his body, potentially allowing him to survive through a single particle.
• Chen Fei concealed his aura at the Early Heaven Opening Realm, returned to the barrier, and submitted resentful spirit essence to the Sky-Reaching Tree, which sent down spiritual light.

Chen Fei tested the Sky-Reaching Tree’s spiritual radiance, reunited with the recovered Xuan Clan cultivators, and set out to break through to the Peak Heaven Opening Realm. As his aura entered a new domain, his soul plunged into the void and saw stars filling the heavens.

• Chen Fei found the Sky-Reaching Tree’s spiritual radiance less useful to his cultivation than his panel and decided to give the tree early seventh-tier vengeful spirit essence.
• Chen Fei learned from Li Song and Li Yun that the Xuan Clan cultivators had recovered and hunted wounded vengeful spirits after a Creation Realm expert attacked a vengeful spirit gathering place.
• Li Song told Chen Fei that a commotion suggested something had happened at the cave dwelling, and Chen Fei saw Creation Realm cultivators heading toward it.
• Li Song and the other Xuan Clan cultivators chose to part ways with Chen Fei and hunt vengeful spirits with other cultivators.
• Chen Fei left the Sky-Reaching Tree’s barrier, traveled twenty thousand li, and began breaking through to the Peak Heaven Opening Realm.
• Chen Fei’s aura crossed the threshold as his soul entered the void and saw stars filling the heavens.

After reaching the Peak Heaven Opening Realm, Chen Fei discovered that his heavenly tribulation had granted him a chance to enhance one of his rule traits. He chose Ultimate, gaining Force Breaks All Laws, and his strength and perception surged.

• Chen Fei realized that his breakthrough and heavenly tribulation had opened a void where he could enhance one of his rule traits.
• Chen Fei examined the available traits and weighed Cold, Space, and Ultimate against the dangers of future heavenly tribulations and the Heart Anomaly Realm.
• Chen Fei chose Ultimate, the power-rule trait Force Breaks All Laws, instead of Cold or Space.
• Ultimate merged into Chen Fei's power rule, strengthening his physique until his physical strength reached the Eighth Order Mid Stage.
• Chen Fei absorbed world vital energy as his soul, essence power, and Origin Point Space transformed, then stabilized at the Peak Heaven Opening Realm.
• Chen Fei's perception expanded from three hundred li to a thousand li.

Chen Fei tested his resistance to heart anomaly power and stored two Calamity Sword strikes capable of reaching creation-realm strength. After the deaths of hundreds of cultivators renewed fear inside the Sky-Reaching Tree’s barrier, he stayed to cultivate, but a sudden roar shook the barrier.

• Chen Fei found that Force Breaks All Laws let his physique resist heart anomaly power with only modest essence-power support, then tested the Calamity Sword and stored its devastating strike in a Space Grid.
• Chen Fei recovered using world vital energy, spirit crystals, See God Unending, and his panel, then prepared and stored a second Calamity Sword strike.
• Chen Fei learned that the Soul Tablets of several hundred heaven opening realm cultivators and six creation realm cultivators trapped in a cave abode had shattered.
• Chen Fei decided to remain inside the Sky-Reaching Tree’s barrier and cultivate, choosing two subordinate rules of wind instead of eighth-order Heaven Suppressing.
• After ten days of cultivation, Chen Fei heard an explosive roar as the sky boomed and the barrier began trembling violently.

Chen Fei and the cultivators followed the Sky-Reaching Trees to a black swamp and fought waves of poisonous Insectoid demon spirits that could not be escaped by flight. As the battle continued, an unknown force attacked the Sky-Reaching Tree, and several Ninth Order Supreme Realm cultivators appeared to intercept it.

• Qi Anxiao ordered the cultivators to follow the Sky-Reaching Tree as it uprooted itself and flew through the Heart Anomaly Realm.
• The Sky-Reaching Tree landed beside a black swamp, where Qi Anxiao ordered the cultivators to leave its barrier and slaughter the demon spirits.
• The cultivators discovered that gray gas poisoned them, the swamp prevented flight and drained their origins, and swarming Insectoids attacked them.
• Chen Fei fought with a heavy hammer as poisonous gas thickened and the Insectoids killed dozens of Heaven Opening Realm cultivators.
• An explosion tore a large gash through the Sky-Reaching Tree, and Qi Anxiao greeted an arriving force as several Ninth Order Supreme Realm cultivators appeared to intercept its attacks.

Ji Zhongzhong and the Ninth Order experts drew grudge spirits to the Drowning Abyss, then the Sky-Reaching Tree weakened the swamp and destroyed the Insectoids attacking the cultivators. The cultivators dug through the swamp until they exposed an enormous abyss, which they planned to investigate as a possible hub of the Heart Anomaly Realm.

• Ji Zhongzhong and the Ninth Order experts confronted Tao and the grudge spirits at the damaged Sky-Reaching Tree, while cultivators fled into the swamp.
• Chen Fei and the other cultivators faced waves of powerful Insectoids and grudge spirits in the swamp as the Ninth Order battle shook the area.
• Creation Realm cultivators discovered that flinging the swamp mud into the air weakened it, and the Sky-Reaching Tree then cleared the poisonous mist and shattered the mud and Insectoids.
• A streak of black light carried off the grudge spirits before the Sky-Reaching Tree could destroy them, and Ji Zhongzhong and the other Ninth Order experts appeared above the swamp.
• Ji Zhongzhong ordered the cultivators to keep digging, and after half an hour they uncovered an enormous abyss more than nine hundred miles below the swamp.

Ji Zhongzhong sent cultivators into the Drowning Abyss, where an eerie force trapped them and began dragging even the Supreme Realm experts under. Qi Anxiao’s flower unleashed a flood of radiance that engulfed everyone, while strange voices sounded in Chen Fei’s ears and the Xuanyuan Sword stirred briefly.

• Ji Zhongzhong forced fifteen Taihang Domain Heaven Opening Realm cultivators to descend into the Drowning Abyss, where they stopped making progress and vanished from the others’ view.
• Ji Zhongzhong sent dozens more cultivators into the abyss to retrieve the first group, but the Drowning Abyss began rippling like water and gave everyone inside a sensation of drowning.
• Ji Zhongzhong and the other Supreme Realm cultivators intercepted a massive black substance appearing above the abyss as Ninth Order resentful spirits laughed and the abyss’s power tried to drag them down.
• Ji Zhongzhong ordered Qi Anxiao to break open the Drowning Abyss, and Qi Anxiao sent a seed into its depths that bloomed into a pale red flower.
• Radiance surged from below and engulfed every cultivator; Chen Fei raised his hammer before Li Song and the others as strange voices reached him and the Xuanyuan Sword briefly stirred.

Chen Fei found himself alone in a desolate land where he could barely sense the rules and could not use his Unceasing Talent. After exploring and fighting a highly resilient Insectoid, he learned that it could recover from devastating wounds, but his stronger attack left it badly damaged.

• Chen Fei discovered that the other cultivators had vanished and that the strange energy around him concealed the rules and blocked his Unceasing Talent.
• Chen Fei traveled tens of thousands of miles across the barren land without finding a change in the scenery.
• An Insectoid burst from the sand and attacked Chen Fei, who smashed its maw with a kick.
• Chen Fei cut the Insectoid in half with the Qian Yuan Sword, but it rapidly regenerated and stitched itself back together.
• The Insectoid tried to flee beneath the sand, but Chen Fei intercepted it and shattered most of its maw with another kick.

Chen Fei explored the barren land, tested whether he could escape through the sky or underground, and found both routes blocked by strange powers. After flying for hours, he discovered a ruined city filled with immense power, where other cultivators soon gathered.

• Chen Fei killed the regenerative insectoid with the Qian Yuan Sword and sealed the dark green energy it left behind.
• Chen Fei fled when he sensed more than a thousand insectoids beneath the sand, including over a hundred as strong as the one he had killed.
• Chen Fei found that a special power blocked escape through the sky and that the rapidly regenerating rock beneath the sand made digging out impractical.
• Chen Fei explored the barren land for ten hours and discovered a battered city surrounded by a dry moat.
• Chen Fei approached the city cautiously and studied its immense power as several cultivators arrived and descended toward him.

Chen Fei, Wang Gongsheng, and Xiang Zongyan’s group investigated a mysterious Ancient City that was fading after noon. They tested the city gate with mechanical beasts and a Treasure Seeking Rat, and the rat’s paw entered unharmed, leaving the danger of the gate uncertain.

• Wang Gongsheng and Chen Fei met Xiang Zongyan and his three identical blood brothers outside the Ancient City, and the group agreed to wait briefly before entering together.
• After the city began fading, Xiang Zongyan persuaded Chen Fei and Wang Gongsheng to approach the gate, where the city’s power felt as strong as the Creation Realm.
• Xiang Zongyan sent three mechanical demon beasts through the gate, but they collapsed as their power circulation was cut off; he pulled them back, and they recovered outside.
• Wang Gongsheng recognized Xiang Zongyan’s group as prodigies from a Ninth Order Supreme Race and sent his Treasure Seeking Rat to test the gate instead of risking himself.
• The Treasure Seeking Rat cautiously put its right paw through the gate, and the paw remained unharmed.

Chen Fei discovered ancient seal script in the Ancient City and became the chosen recipient of the Mysterious Female True Understanding. When Xiang Zongyan demanded the book, Chen Fei refused, and their clash left Xiang Zongyan badly injured as the city crumbled.

• The Treasure Seeking Rat entered the Ancient City and reported that a glowing hall stood at its center, while the city’s power slowed vital energy and made Xiang Zongyan’s puppet beasts collapse.
• Chen Fei and the others crossed the gate and searched the fading city, then gathered at the hall, where Chen Fei recognized the writing as ancient seal script from his previous life.
• The Treasure Seeking Rat opened the hall’s door and found a book protected by a force, while the seated figure inside crumbled into ashes.
• When Chen Fei entered the hall, the book responded to the Xuanyuan Sword mark in his mind, flew to him, and revealed its title: Mysterious Female True Understanding.
• Xiang Jingcheng ordered Chen Fei to surrender the book, but Chen Fei refused, so Xiang Zongyan attacked him and had his right arm shattered by Chen Fei’s counterstrike as the Ancient City collapsed.

Chen Fei overwhelmed Xiang Zongyan and his brothers, shattering Xiang Zongyan’s arm and breaking their defenses despite displaying only Peak Heaven Opening Realm cultivation. As Xiang Daoxian activated a life-saving talisman to teleport them away, Chen Fei used Sky Dome Lock to seize him, leaving the escape attempt unresolved.

• Xiang Zongyan attacked Chen Fei, but Chen Fei shattered his right arm with a single strike.
• Xiang Jingcheng and the other brothers joined the fight, but Chen Fei’s Extreme Abyss Sword Shield blocked their combined attack.
• Chen Fei twisted the nearby space and struck Xiang Daoxian, forcing his life-saving talisman to form a protective shield.
• Chen Fei’s Qian Yuan Sword cracked and shattered the shield, then drove Xiang Daoxian and his brothers back when they blocked it together.
• Xiang Zongyan ordered his brothers to flee, and Xiang Daoxian activated the talisman’s teleportation power.
• Chen Fei cast Sky Dome Lock around Xiang Daoxian and braced himself against the talisman’s pulling force.
