He assessed the strengths and limits of his new realm and concluded that he still needed stronger inheritances, while Time Subordinate Rules offered little advantage against other Supreme Realm cultivators who had mastered them.

• Chen Fei returned from the void as World Vital Energy gathered around him and completed his breakthrough to the Ninth Order Early Stage.
• Chen Fei fused the Reverse Calamity Art, Yu Light Art, Sky-Drooping Wings, and Origin Art into the Heaven Origin Art, reducing the Nether Heaven Reverse Calamity Art's proficiency.
