Chapter Summaries

Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian invited Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu to enter a newly emerged secret realm, but Chen Fei sensed something wrong and Zhu Shiyu tried to escape. The two hosts revealed their hostility and attacked, leaving Chen Fei facing Ren Zhonglian’s hammer despite his severely weakened origin power.

• Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian invited Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu to join them in the secret realm, claiming they could fuse their powers to overcome their limitations.

• Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian appeared before them, then Wu Gengdian attacked Zhu Shiyu and weakened his origin power.
• Ren Zhonglian struck Chen Fei with his Yama Hammer, but Chen Fei caught it with his left arm and said his origin power had been severely weakened.

Chen Fei overwhelmed Ren Zhonglian despite the weakened Origin Force in Danzhai Valley City, killing him twice as his origin demon power tried to restore him. Chen Fei intercepted Wu Gengdian as he fled, and Wu Gengdian transformed into an origin demon while inky Origin Energy surged around them.

• Chen Fei crushed Ren Zhonglian's Yama Hammer, shattered his arms with a kick, and left him severely injured.
• Wu Gengdian continued attacking the weakened Zhu Shiyu, while Zhu Shiyu warned Chen Fei that Ren Zhonglian and Wu Gengdian were likely origin demons.

• Wu Gengdian fled toward the Origin Demon Flesh Pool in Danzhai Valley, but Chen Fei intercepted him before he could arrive.
• Wu Gengdian transformed into an origin demon as inky Origin Energy surged from Danzhai Valley, while Chen Fei's physique barrier protected him from its erosion.

Chen Fei killed the origin demons Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian at Danzhai Valley, then explained his overwhelming strength to Zhu Shiyu by claiming a Sky-Reaching Tree had transformed his physique. After they returned to Ethereal City, Zhu Shiyu reported the incident to Lingxiao Tower’s decision-makers while Chen Fei reviewed his gains.

• Zhu Shiyu told Chen Fei that they should report the incident to the Tower Master and leave Danzhai Valley for a stronger Realm Lord to inspect.
• Chen Fei told Zhu Shiyu that a Sky-Reaching Tree in his birth plane had transformed his physique, giving Zhu Shiyu an explanation for his strength.
• Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu flew back toward Ethereal City, and Chen Fei considered how he could protect the Void Return Realm and preserve his secret.
• After they reached Ethereal City, Zhu Shiyu reported the incident to Lingxiao Tower’s other decision-makers while Chen Fei returned to his courtyard to assess his gains.

Chen Fei purified Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian’s spiritual essences, then realized that the world’s maddening influence had been pushing him to cultivate dangerously close to aberration. After strengthening his soul and receiving a reward from Lingxiao Tower, he went to the Miaoxuan Association to seek restricted cultivation methods.

• Chen Fei extracted the equivalent of sixty Great Dao Stones from each of Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian’s spiritual essences, bringing his total above four hundred.
• Chen Fei recognized that he had been testing the edge of aberration and decided to keep his essence power and soul ahead of his physique in cultivation.
• Chen Fei fused more than eighteen million low-grade Immortal Crystals and over four hundred Great Dao Stones into his essence power and soul, raising their total to five hundred and ninety and restoring his inner peace.
• Lingxiao Tower investigated Danzhai Valley, concluded that Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian had succumbed to demonic corruption, and awarded Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu thirty Great Dao Stones each.
• Chen Fei visited the Miaoxuan Association and asked for restricted cultivation methods.

Chen Fei bought three movement-focused techniques from the Miaoxuan Association, then used the Void Return Realm to rapidly cultivate the Wind Ling Sword Canon and Wind God's Control. The Wind Ling Sword Canon reached great perfection, transforming his essence power and soul toward greater benefits from refining Great Dao Stones.

• Chen Fei examined the Nine Revolutions Profound Wind Canon and asked the Miaoxuan Association steward about movement-enhancing earthly divine skills.
• Chen Fei spent twenty-three Great Dao Stones on the Nine Revolutions Profound Wind Canon, the Ice Lingering Streamer Art, and Wind God's Control.
• Chen Fei entered the Void Return Realm, where he simplified the Wind Ling Sword Canon into the Great Dao Sword Chapter and Wind God's Control into Heaven Escaping Movement.
• Chen Fei cultivated the Wind Ling Sword Canon to great perfection and Wind God's Control to the Proficient Realm.
• The completed Wind Ling Sword Canon began transforming Chen Fei's essence power and soul, increasing the benefits he could gain from refining a Great Dao Stone.

Chen Fei cultivated Wind God's Evasion to Great Perfection, boosting his speed while continuing to build up his strength in Ethereal City. After Cangxia Domain’s primal demon war ended, a newly discovered secret realm drew Zhu Shiyu’s interest, and he asked Chen Fei to explore it with him.

• Chen Fei decided to delay buying a restrictive body-refining technique until he had strengthened his vital energy and divine soul further.
• Chen Fei cultivated Wind God's Evasion to Great Perfection in just over an hour and gained a major increase in movement speed.
• Over five months, Chen Fei refined Great Dao Stones while Cangxia Domain’s forces nearly wiped out the primal demons, suffering heavy casualties and leaving the Lord of Lingxiao Tower severely injured.
• Cangxia Domain and Cold Mountain Domain located entrances to a large secret realm, which cultivators entered in search of dangerous treasures.
• Zhu Shiyu visited Chen Fei and asked him to join an expedition into the secret realm, hoping Chen Fei would bring him along.

Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu entered the secret realm, where they encountered a hostile Realm Lord from Red Lotus Valley before finding a strange forest and an Ink Lotus Flower. Chen Fei sent his Night Demon War Soldier ahead to test the treasure as Zhu Shiyu watched in surprise.

• Chen Fei agreed to explore the secret realm with Zhu Shiyu, and they flew from Ethereal City to its entrance.
• Sun Shijing of Red Lotus Valley mocked Zhu Shiyu, then warned of the rivalry between their factions as he left with other Realm Lords.
• Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu entered the secret realm after anchoring themselves together against its random teleportation effect.
• They arrived above a vast, unusual forest, where the trees parted to reveal a lake and a white lotus resembling an Ink Lotus Flower.
• Chen Fei sent his Night Demon War Soldier toward the lotus to assess it, surprising Zhu Shiyu.

Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu watched the Night Demon War Soldier test the Ink Lotus Flower’s defenses in the secret realm. Meanwhile, an Earth God Realm Primordial Demon attacked Ethereal City, forcing Kuang Gongze to flee with the city.

• Chen Fei explained to Zhu Shiyu why he used the Night Demon War Soldier instead of creating a true clone, and Zhu Shiyu warned him about the risks of keeping a weak clone.
• The Night Demon War Soldier’s energy was scattered by the Ink Lotus Flower, so it used the feedback to locate hidden branches and cut them down with the Yanluo Sword.
• A black shadow appeared in Ethereal City and threw a dark green seed toward the Myriad Forged Thunder, but Kuang Gongze intercepted it.
• The black shadow transformed the seed into a sapling that threatened the city and revealed itself as a powerful Primordial Demon.
• Kuang Gongze activated his Heavenly Status and attacked the Primordial Demon, but the sapling repelled him, so he took Ethereal City and fled.

Kuang Gongze lost Ethereal City to the Yuan Devil and escaped by shattering his Heavenly Status, while the Earth God Realm experts discovered that the Demon Tree left behind could absorb their attacks and grow fruit. In the secret realm, Chen Fei reached the Ink Lotus Flower and pulled it from the lake.

• The Yuan Devil struck Ethereal City, rupturing its defenses and killing or mutating many of its cultivators as World Vital Energy poured inside.
• Kuang Gongze stored Ethereal City, fought the Yuan Devil, then shattered his Heavenly Status to escape with a sliver of hope.
• Gu Hongtao and the other Earth God Realm experts found the wreckage of Ethereal City and attacked the towering Demon Tree, only for it to regrow as a sapling.
• The Demon Tree absorbed the experts' attacks, gained resistance to their powers, and began growing fruit with auras resembling cultivators.
• In the secret realm, Chen Fei rushed past the demonic forest's branches and pulled out the Ink Lotus Flower.

Chen Fei refined the Ink Lotus Flower, raised his cultivation, and used his wind perception to lead Zhu Shiyu to an abyss where Realm Lords had gathered around a likely supreme treasure. There, Chen Fei recognized enemies from Red Lotus Valley and Tianhua Tower, and Luan Jingtong quietly asked Wei Ziyu to help kill him.

• Chen Fei shattered the demonic forest’s maw, took the Ink Lotus Flower, and refined it to raise his vital energy and divine soul to the Early-stage Realm Lord Realm peak.
• Chen Fei sensed a possible disturbance in Ethereal City, then used Wind God's Control to locate promising spiritual materials and flew with Zhu Shiyu to an abyss.
• Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu reached the abyss, where over a hundred Realm Lords had gathered; Zhu Shiyu recognized Lu Yilin, and Chen Fei spotted Sun Shijing and other cultivators from Red Lotus Valley.
• Chen Fei sensed that the abyss barrier would open in about three hours, while the gathered Realm Lords waited rather than risk breaking it by force.
• Luan Jingtong and Wei Ziyu arrived with other Tianhua Tower cultivators, and Chen Fei warned Zhu Shiyu that he had killed Luan Jingtong’s descendant during the struggle for the Realm Lord position.
• Luan Jingtong told Wei Ziyu to help kill Chen Fei, noting that the secret realm suppressed a Realm Lord’s personal plane.

Wei Ziyu agreed to help Luan Jingtong kill Chen Fei in the abyss, where Realm Lords’ personal planes were suppressed. After the barrier opened, Chen Fei entered and was separated from Zhu Shiyu; he exposed and killed an impostor created by the abyss, then struck down another Zhu Shiyu who appeared nearby.

• Wei Ziyu agreed to join Luan Jingtong in targeting Chen Fei, while Zhu Shiyu resolved to stay beside Chen Fei despite the danger.
• The abyssal barrier vanished, and the Realm Lords rushed inside; Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu were separated as they passed through.
• Chen Fei sensed Zhu Shiyu fighting a demonic monster and teleported to help him, causing the monster to flee.
• The apparent Zhu Shiyu pointed Chen Fei toward a dangerous area, and Chen Fei recognized him as an impostor and killed him.
• A second Zhu Shiyu appeared and warned Chen Fei about a fake Chen Fei, but Chen Fei struck him down before he could finish speaking.

Chen Fei navigated the abyss’s monsters, which impersonated cultivators, and tracked down Zhu Shiyu with a Lingxiao Tower jade pendant. After a succession of Chen Fei impostors appeared, the real Chen Fei rescued Zhu Shiyu, leaving them together in the dangerous abyss.

• Jing Zongchao’s companion turned out to be a disguised monster and killed him as the pair fled their pursuers.
• Zhan Yuying hid with Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Brother Sun, but Sun Miao attacked her, and Zhao stabbed her before both revealed their monstrous disguises.
• Chen Fei killed a monster impersonating Zhu Shiyu, then used a Lingxiao Tower jade pendant to find the real Zhu Shiyu.
• Zhu Shiyu distrusted the first Chen Fei, and the real Chen Fei arrived and destroyed the impostor with a powerful palm strike.
• Another Chen Fei impostor attacked, but the real Chen Fei arrived at astonishing speed and shattered it with an Earthly Divine Skill, convincing Zhu Shiyu of his identity.

Chen Fei used his aura to lure imitation fiends to the mountain range and killed them so Zhu Shiyu’s compass could locate a rank treasure. As the compass narrowed its search area, another pair of fake Luan Jingtong and Wei Ziyu appeared, and Chen Fei opened his eyes.

• Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu decided to use Zhu Shiyu’s compass, which could be guided by feeding it fiends, to find a rank treasure.
• Chen Fei spread his faint aura across a mountain range to attract imitation fiends while Zhu Shiyu waited with the compass.
• Chen Fei’s Night Demon War Soldier killed a fake Luan Jingtong, and Zhu Shiyu’s compass absorbed the remains and began narrowing its search.
• The Night Demon War Soldier killed a fake Sun Shijing and fed its remains to the compass, reducing its search range to less than thirty percent of the circle.
• Far away, the real Luan Jingtong and Wei Ziyu discussed why fiends kept imitating Chen Fei and whether they were being lured into a trap.
• Another fake Luan Jingtong and Wei Ziyu approached Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu, and Chen Fei opened his eyes.

Chen Fei faced Luan Jingtong and Wei Ziyu, two Mid-stage Realm Lord Realm cultivators, and used his strength and insight into their techniques to withstand their attacks. As Wei Ziyu struck at Chen Fei, Zhu Shiyu intervened, and Chen Fei vanished with Wind God's Guard to launch a sword strike at Wei Ziyu.

• Luan Jingtong and Wei Ziyu found Chen Fei and attacked him, while Chen Fei blocked their combined strike without being injured.
• Luan Jingtong and Wei Ziyu pressed their assault, and Chen Fei used the Yanluo Sword to interrupt Wei Ziyu while his Qian Yuan Sword struck a flaw in Luan Jingtong's spear technique.
• Chen Fei drove Luan Jingtong toward defeat, but Luan Jingtong tore himself free as Wei Ziyu prepared to attack Chen Fei.
• Zhu Shiyu appeared beside Chen Fei and raised his shield to block Wei Ziyu's strike.
• Chen Fei used Wind God's Guard to vanish and reappear with his sword inches from Wei Ziyu's face.

Chen Fei used Wind God's Guard and his Night Demon War Soldier to overwhelm Wei Ziyu and Luan Jingtong in the abyss. He killed both mid-stage Realm Lords, leaving Zhu Shiyu alive beside him.

• Chen Fei wounded Wei Ziyu with a swift sword strike while Zhu Shiyu helped draw Wei Ziyu's attention, and the Night Demon War Soldier held Luan Jingtong back.
• Chen Fei used Wind God's Guard to overpower Wei Ziyu, who shattered his Heavenly Status in a desperate bid to survive.
• Luan Jingtong scattered spear shadows and fled as Chen Fei killed Wei Ziyu with a sword through the head.
• Chen Fei used his wind-given insight to find Luan Jingtong among the spear shadows and struck him until he was near death.
• Luan Jingtong began to demonize and threatened Chen Fei, but Chen Fei pierced his neck and cut off his head.

Chen Fei killed Luan Jingtong and Wei Ziyu, then learned from their memories that the demon monsters were gathering near the abyss’s Heavenly Status treasures. He and Zhu Shiyu followed the compass toward the core, where the growing number of demon monsters forced Chen Fei to pause.

• Chen Fei prevented Luan Jingtong from demonizing, killed him and Wei Ziyu, and collected their spiritual essences and weapons.
• Chen Fei searched their memory fragments and learned that demon monsters were concentrating near the Heavenly Status treasures, while Zhu Shiyu resolved to stay close to him.
• Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu defeated more demon monsters, allowing Zhu Shiyu’s compass to point toward the treasures, and then hurried onward using Wind God's Command.
• Elsewhere, Lu Yilin and two Mid-stage Realm Lord Realm cultivators traveled toward the core, wary of the growing demon monster threat and their competitors.
• Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu reached a stretch with many demon monsters, and Chen Fei stopped rather than risk charging into hundreds of them.

Chen Fei demonized himself enough to pass through the abyss’s demonic monsters unnoticed and reached its core, where he identified a vine on a Demon Tree as the true Heavenly Status treasure. He could not seize it safely while the powerful Demon Tree and surrounding monsters remained alert, so he considered how to proceed.

• Zhu Shiyu suggested that Chen Fei wait for other Realm Lords to attack the abyss’s monsters, and Chen Fei sent Zhu Shiyu into the Void Return Realm while he planned another way in.
• Chen Fei tested partial demonization on the Night Demon War Soldier, then demonized seventy percent of his own body and confirmed that the Panel Backup could restore him.
• Chen Fei used his demonic aura and the Sky-Supporting Void Return Art’s transformation trait to pass through the outer monsters without being attacked.
• Chen Fei reached a towering Demon Tree, recognized that a small vine on its trunk was the Heavenly Status treasure, and judged that attacking would trigger the tree and its monsters to surround him.
• Chen Fei considered waiting for Mid-stage Realm Lord Realm cultivators to engage the Demon Tree, but realized they might intercept him if he made a move for the vine.

Chen Fei disguised himself as a demonic beast and secretly extracted the vine’s Origin Power, gathering enough to advance while avoiding detection. When other Realm Lords arrived, the Demon Tree launched an attack, and Chen Fei resumed draining the vine amid the ensuing battle.

• Chen Fei copied the demonic beasts’ aura and movements, approached the Demon Tree, and tested whether it would react to him.
• Chen Fei touched the vine and used his Space Grid to conceal its aura and slowly collect its Origin Power.
• After the vine lost forty percent of its Origin Power, it twitched and stirred the Demon Tree, prompting Chen Fei to stop extracting it.
• Long Zhengling, Lu Yilin, and another Mid-stage Realm Lord arrived and identified the Demon Tree as the obstacle between them and the status supreme treasure.
• More Realm Lords arrived, awakening the Demon Tree, which attacked and drew the concealed cultivators into battle as Chen Fei continued extracting the vine’s Origin Power.

Chen Fei secretly extracted seventy percent of the vine’s origin while more than a dozen Mid-stage Realm Lords battered the Demon Tree. The Realm Lords finally struck the Demon Tree’s trunk, and when they spotted the surviving Status vine, black flames suddenly engulfed the battlefield.

• Chen Fei intercepted the vine’s power as it flowed to the Demon Tree, gathering enough origin for his and Zhu Shiyu’s breakthroughs.
• The Mid-stage Realm Lords pressed the Demon Tree while returning demonic beasts threatened to surround them, then unleashed their hidden strength to force their way closer.
• Chen Fei left the trunk, concealed himself among the fallen demonic beasts, and waited for a chance to escape.
• The Realm Lords’ combined attack tore apart the Demon Tree’s trunk and shattered its other vines, leaving the Status vine intact.
• The Realm Lords noticed the surviving Status vine, and black flames suddenly spread across heaven and earth.

Chen Fei secretly obtained the vine’s status origin while the Realm Lords battled the Black Flame Barrier, then gave Zhu Shiyu a share and restored his cultivation after cutting away his demonized power. Lu Yilin and her companions discovered him and demanded he hand over the remaining status origin.

• The Realm Lords broke the Black Flame Barrier, and Brother Teng seized the vine as the cultivators fought over its limited heavenly status.
• Chen Fei gave Zhu Shiyu a quarter of the vine’s origin so he could advance to the Mid-stage Realm Lord Realm.
• After the monsters pursued the departing Realm Lords, Chen Fei cut away his demonized parts and used panel backup and immortal crystals to restore his cultivation.
• Lu Yilin and her two companions found Chen Fei and accused him of secretly taking the status origin.
• Ji Jiugian demanded that Chen Fei hand over the status origin in exchange for being allowed to leave.
