Chapter Summaries

Chen Fei learned the Sky Dome Lock in the Azure Vault Hall and awakened Qiong from the Heart Anomaly Power’s corruption. Qiong sacrificed the hall to forge the Qian Yuan Sword and Hidden Origin Bell into powerful Creation Profound Treasures, then vanished as Chen Fei left the gorge.

• Chen Fei accepted Qiong’s trial to learn the Sky Dome Lock in exchange for having the Qian Yuan Sword and Hidden Origin Bell forged into Creation Profound Treasures within two days.
• Chen Fei simplified the Sky Dome Lock through the Sky Dome Domain and mastered enough of the secret art in fifteen minutes to cast it.
• Chen Fei’s display of the Sky Dome Lock broke Qiong’s corruption-induced behavior, and Qiong apologized before giving Chen Fei the complete eighth-order Heaven Suppressing.
• Qiong poured the Azure Vault Hall’s power into the Qian Yuan Sword and Hidden Origin Bell, spending five hours forging them into Creation Profound Treasures before he and the hall vanished.
• Chen Fei collected the sword and bell, which were near the mid-grade Creation Profound Treasure rank, and left the gorge.

Chen Fei studied the Eighth Order Heaven Suppressing method and realized he could cultivate it alongside the Seventh Order, but the panel required far more High-grade Spirit Crystals than he owned. He followed a karmic connection to Wen Yingqi and arrived at an Eighth Order Creation Realm cave abode already surrounded by hundreds of cultivators and six Creation Realm experts.

• Chen Fei learned that Qiong had fused Azure Vault Hall's essence into the Qian Yuan Sword and Hidden Origin Bell, raising them to Creation Profound Treasures before vanishing with the hall.
• Chen Fei examined the Eighth and deduced Ninth Order Heaven Suppressing methods, learning that they cultivated the body's particles and that the ninth-order method was incomplete.
• Chen Fei realized the panel could let him cultivate Eighth Order Heaven Suppressing alongside the Seventh Order, but simplifying it required one hundred thousand High-grade Spirit Crystals.
• Chen Fei recalled Wen Yingqi's report of a nearby Creation Realm cave abode and followed their karmic connection to its location.
• Chen Fei reached the cave abode and found hundreds of Heaven Opening Realm cultivators and six Creation Realm experts gathered there, including Wen Yingqi.

Chen Fei entered the eighth-rank cave estate and searched its failing formation for High-grade Spirit Crystals while Heaven Opening Realm and Creation Realm cultivators fought over treasures. After collecting roughly fifty thousand Spirit Crystals, he headed to the central mountain, where the remaining Array Eyes were located and fierce fighting was underway.

• Bu Bingzhen learned that Chen Fei had injured Wen Yingqi, but Wen Yingqi warned him not to underestimate Chen Fei.
• The six Creation Realm experts entered the cave estate, followed by hundreds of Heaven Opening Realm cultivators, and battles broke out over its treasures.
• Chen Fei avoided the mountain peak and used his perception of the failing formation to find Array Eyes containing High-grade Spirit Crystals.
• Chen Fei tore open the Array Eyes, collected Spirit Crystals, and left some behind to keep the formation from deteriorating further.
• After gathering roughly fifty thousand High-grade Spirit Crystals, Chen Fei went to the central mountain and found fierce fighting halfway up.

Chen Fei was drawn into a dispute over a medicinal field, where Hong Qing and Xiao Hua tried to use him against Geng Jingrong’s group. He shattered the pavilion’s restrictions and repelled the attackers, then turned on Hong Qing.

• Geng Jingrong demanded that Xiao Hua, Hong Qing, and Duan Xuanzhi hand over the Spiritual Plants they had collected.
• Hong Qing spotted Chen Fei and urged him to call for reinforcements, hoping to draw Geng Jingrong’s group away from the pavilion.
• Geng Jingrong trapped Chen Fei with a curtain of blades, but Chen Fei said they had not asked his opinion and charged toward the pavilion.
• Chen Fei kicked the pavilion, shattering its restrictions and causing Duan Xuanzhi to spit blood.
• A sword shield blocked Geng Jingrong and his companions’ attacks and left them injured, prompting them to flee.
• Chen Fei appeared before Hong Qing and slapped him across the cheek as Xiao Hua and the others tried to escape.

Chen Fei killed the cultivators who attacked him and began looting the cave abode’s Array Eyes, while six Creation Realm experts opened its central hall and found a Taichang Pill. As Nie Hongdian seized the pill, the hall’s supposedly dead master suddenly pierced his abdomen.

• Chen Fei killed Hong Qing, Xiao Hua, Duan Xuanzhi, Geng Jingrong, and their companions, then collected their treasures and cultivation techniques.
• Chen Fei opened an Array Eye in the medicinal field, found roughly five thousand complete High-grade Spirit Crystals, and concealed the exposed gap before leaving.
• Six Creation Realm cultivators broke the independent restrictions on the central hall after discussing the cave abode’s Creation Realm Peak master and his failed attempt to reach the Supreme Realm.
• The six entered the hall and found the master’s lifeless figure, an ancient sword, and a Taichang Pill that could weaken heavenly tribulation by more than ten percent.
• Nie Hongdian grabbed the Taichang Pill and prepared to flee, but the seated figure suddenly pierced his 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.

Chen Fei escaped the central mountain’s eighth-tier restrictions by using his knowledge of the formation and the Qian Yuan Sword’s Space Characteristic and Karma Rule. He reached the cave dwelling’s sealed entrance as a second Creation Realm expert fell atop the mountain.

• The cave dwelling’s formation surged, grounding Heaven Opening Realm cultivators and sealing them into separate areas as Chen Fei considered how to escape.
• After sensing that a Creation Realm expert had fallen, Chen Fei broke through a local restriction and used the Qian Yuan Sword’s Space Characteristic to evade the formation’s response.
• Chen Fei used the Karma Rule to find a weak point and cut through the mountain’s outer restriction, escaping as the other cultivators watched.
• Wen Yingqi and Bu Bingzhen recognized Chen Fei as he reached the cave dwelling’s entrance, which had already been sealed.
• A second Creation Realm expert fell atop the mountain.

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 dwelling and returned to the Sky-Reaching Tree, where he strengthened his Heaven Suppressing techniques and tested a way to conceal his cultivation. He discovered that Eighth Order Heaven Suppressing had transformed his body to the point where every particle could preserve his information, and he left the story preparing to see whether the Sky-Reaching Tree could detect his true realm.

• Chen Fei used the Qian Yuan Sword and stored killing moves to break the cave dwelling restriction and escape while Ge Shida continued attacking Bu Changyin and the other three.
• Chen Fei raced back to the Sky-Reaching Tree’s barrier, then went beyond it to cultivate Eighth Order Heaven Suppressing and other techniques by crushing essence inside the Hidden Origin Bell’s shield.
• Chen Fei raised Seventh Order Heaven Suppressing to eighty percent of Perfection, nearly completed the Destruction Rule, strengthened his physique to the peak of the Eighth Order Early Stage, and reached ten percent Entry in Eighth Order Heaven Suppressing.
• Chen Fei realized that every particle in his body contained his information, then concealed his aura as an Early Heaven Opening Realm cultivator and returned to the barrier.
• Chen Fei submitted early Seventh Order resentful spirit essence to the Sky-Reaching Tree and received its spiritual radiance.

Chen Fei tested the Sky-Reaching Tree’s spiritual radiance, reunited with the recovered Xuan Clan cultivators, and prepared to advance. He broke through the barrier to the Peak Heaven Opening Realm and sent his soul into the Void, where a sky full of stars appeared.

• Chen Fei found the Sky-Reaching Tree’s spiritual radiance useful but less effective for his cultivation than the panel and spiritual opportunity he already possessed.
• Li Song and the other Xuan Clan cultivators told Chen Fei that they had recovered and killed several wounded wraiths, and Li Song shared news of trouble at the cave dwelling.
• Li Song and the others decided to hunt wraiths with other cultivators rather than continue following Chen Fei, and Chen Fei accepted their choice.
• Chen Fei left the barrier, traveled twenty thousand miles, and began cultivating beneath the protection of the Hidden Origin Bell.
• Chen Fei’s three Main Rule crystals linked together, and he broke through the critical point into the Peak Heaven Opening Realm.
• Chen Fei’s soul left his body and entered the Void, where he saw a sky full of stars.

After reaching the Peak Heaven Opening Realm, Chen Fei entered the Void and received a chance to enhance one of his rule characteristics. He chose Extreme: Force Breaks All Laws, and his power and perception surged as his breakthrough settled.

• Chen Fei realized that surviving heavenly tribulation had triggered a Creation Realm rule-characteristic enhancement, and that he would face further tribulations when advancing to the Creation Realm.
• Chen Fei examined the available characteristics and weighed Extreme Ice Cold, Heaven and Earth Stillness against All Things Exist, All Things Cease to Exist and Force Breaks All Laws.
• Chen Fei chose Force Breaks All Laws, deciding that its ability to break laws would help him handle the Heart Anomaly Realm’s unpredictable dangers.
• Extreme fused into Chen Fei’s Power Rule, causing his physique’s strength to rise to the level of the Eighth Order Mid Stage.
• Chen Fei absorbed World Vital Energy as his divine soul, elemental force, and Origin Point Space transformed, then reached the Peak Heaven Opening Realm and expanded his perception to one thousand miles.

Chen Fei tested how well his physique resisted Heart Anomaly Power and used the Calamity Sword to store two Creation Realm-level strikes in Space Grids. He returned to the Sky-Reaching Tree barrier, chose to cultivate two Wind Subordinate Rules instead of Eighth Order Heaven Suppressing, and the barrier began shaking as he cultivated.

• Chen Fei found that his physique could keep Heart Anomaly Power at bay with little vital energy and that his perception had reached a thousand miles.
• Chen Fei used the Calamity Sword outside the Sky-Reaching Tree barrier, stored its sword radiance in a Space Grid, and recovered with See God Unending, the Hidden Origin Bell, and World Vital Energy.
• Chen Fei returned to the barrier and learned that several hundred Heaven Opening Realm cultivators and six Creation Realm cultivators had died in the cave dwelling.
• Chen Fei stayed inside the barrier, then spent ten days cultivating and chose two Wind Subordinate Rules alongside Seventh Order Heaven Suppressing rather than Eighth Order Heaven Suppressing.
• The barrier shook violently after an explosive roar sounded from the sky.

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.
