Chapter Summaries

Chen Fei infiltrated the Origin Demons by posing as a newly transformed tenth order mid stage demon and passed their inspection and registration.

• Chen Fei declined Yu Guoheng's invitation to join his squad immediately and chose to settle in for a few days instead.
• Chen Fei learned about Origin Demon cultivation and demon crystals, then entered the ship's library and began studying the Heavenly Fiend Shocking Art.

Chen Fei studied primordial demon techniques and fused them into a combat secret art that could briefly amplify his power, then traveled to Blazing Sun Island on a patrol assignment toward the Cold Mountain Domain. There, he encountered Zhang Hanyun again.

• Chen Fei spent several days studying body-tempering and divine soul techniques in the archive, then left for the mission hall.
• Chen Fei accepted a patrol mission to Blazing Sun Island, intending to use it as a chance to reach the Cold Mountain Domain.
• Chen Fei fused the primordial demon techniques into the Sky-Supporting True Demon Art and the combat secret art Demon Suppressor, which could raise his strength to Realm Lord Peak for only three breaths.
• Chen Fei arrived at Blazing Sun Island and activated his mission scroll to summon the other primordial demons.
• Zhang Hanyun appeared with another primordial demon and mockingly told Chen Fei that they had met before.

Chen Fei’s disguise as an Origin Demon came under suspicion when Zhang Hanyun recognized his extraordinary movement speed and tried to take him to meet his master. Chen Fei fled toward Cold Mountain Domain with Qin Shishi in pursuit, and as his movement skill’s backlash began to catch up with him, he activated Panel Backup and absorbed energy from shattered immortal crystals.

• Zhang Hanyun and Qin Shishi confronted Chen Fei at Blazing Sun Island, and Chen Fei claimed despair over his dead friends and family had caused his transformation into an Origin Demon.
• Zhang Hanyun offered to take Chen Fei to meet his master, but Chen Fei rejected the offer after sensing killing intent from Zhang Hanyun and Qin Shishi.
• Chen Fei used Wind God's Control to escape, and Qin Shishi pursued him while Zhang Hanyun ordered that he be captured alive.

• Chen Fei absorbed low-grade immortal crystals to restore his essence power and divine soul, then stopped to face Qin Shishi.
• Qin Shishi appeared behind Chen Fei with Shifting Form and Shadow and attacked, but Chen Fei activated Demon Suppressor and caught his fist.
• Chen Fei shattered Qin Shishi's right leg and repeatedly read his attacks, keeping the initiative despite Qin Shishi's higher cultivation.
• Chen Fei shattered Qin Shishi's arm and struck the side of his head, leaving him dazed as Chen Fei's next fist came toward him.

After killing Qin Shishi, Chen Fei recovered and reached Bowang City in the Cold Mountain Domain, where he paused to refine his Great Dao Stones. With his essence power at its limit, he began testing whether status fragments and a stronger divine soul could let him break through without relying on heavenly status.

• Chen Fei killed Qin Shishi with Demon Suppressor, took his origin demon spiritual essence and Shadow Robe, and fled before his injuries could leave him vulnerable.
• Zhang Hanyun found Qin Shishi's remains and hurried back to warn his Master that a cultivator might be able to disguise himself as an origin demon.
• After recovering, Chen Fei reached the outskirts of Bowang City and considered why the Cold Mountain Domain had not aided the fallen Cangxia Domain.
• Chen Fei entered the Void Return Realm and refined Great Dao Stones until his essence power reached its limit of 1,296 stones.
• Chen Fei considered using a sufficiently powerful divine soul to form heavenly status during a breakthrough and merged five status fragments into his body, awakening imprints from an Earth God Realm expert.

Chen Fei refined Status Fragments, broke through to the Late-stage Realm Lord Realm and Realm Lord Peak Divine Soul, and mastered the Earthly Divine Skill Nine Dragons Seal Kill. He entered Bowang City with Zhu Shiyu, where Zhong Liqiu began to explain why the city had not aided the Cangxia Domain, just as Chen Fei confronted him with Nine Dragons Seal Kill.

• Chen Fei traveled to Bowang City, where Zhong Liqiu tested him and Zhu Shiyu with the city wall formation before allowing them inside.
• Zhong Liqiu began explaining why Bowang City had not sent aid to the Cangxia Domain, and Chen Fei answered by summoning nine enormous dragons.

Chen Fei recognized that an aberration had consumed Bowang City and fled with Zhu Shiyu, but Zhong Liqiu pursued them and tried to force them into the city. Chen Fei fought back, leaving Zhong Liqiu split in two as the confrontation continued.

• Chen Fei used Nine Dragons Seal Kill and fled with Zhu Shiyu after Zhong Liqiu's aura revealed that Bowang City had become an aberration.
• Chen Fei realized the aberration had influenced his thoughts and that its power had consumed the city and its inhabitants.

• Chen Fei discovered that Zhong Liqiu followed the aberration's rules and attacked anyone who refused to enter Bowang City.
• Chen Fei used Demon Suppressor and struck Zhong Liqiu, splitting his body in two.

Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu escaped Zhong Liqiu near Bowang City and reached Ganhai City after a month of travel. There, Chen Fei learned that the Cold Mountain Domain was besieged by origin demons and two powerful Anomalies, and considered how to reach the Earth God Realm using a controlled secret realm’s breakthrough materials.

• Chen Fei split Zhong Liqiu apart and destroyed his body, then used Wind God's Guard to carry Zhu Shiyu far beyond the living dead man's perception.
• Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu traveled for a month, avoided Bowang City, and reached Ganhai City without encountering an Eleventh Order Origin Demon.
• Chen Fei assessed Ganhai City for an Anomaly, waited a day, and entered after its formation screened them at the gates.
• A Ganhai City steward recorded Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu's information and told them that the Cold Mountain Domain faced two Anomalies and attacks by powerful origin demons.
• Chen Fei considered how to advance to the Earth God Realm and recalled that a controlled secret realm in the Cold Mountain Domain produced Status Spiritual Materials capable of enabling the breakthrough.

Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu joined Spirit Nurturing Sect so Chen Fei could access powerful inheritances and compete for Status Spiritual Materials. After becoming Inner Sect Disciples, Chen Fei asked how he could qualify as a True Disciple.

• After passing strict identity and origin-demon screening, Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu became Inner Sect Disciples and received the Spirit Infusion Art.
• Chen Fei asked Guan Junli what he needed to do to become a True Disciple.

Chen Fei learned the ways to become a True Disciple of the Spirit Nurturing Sect and decided to enter the Heavenly Pride Ranking directly, relying on the sect to protect him. He then studied the sect’s Tenth Order cultivation legacies and discovered a method to break through realms without Heavenly Status.

• Guan Junli explained that disciples could become True Disciples by reaching the Earth God Realm, waiting a hundred years and passing the True Disciple Tower, or entering the top hundred of the Heavenly Pride Ranking.

• Chen Fei left the Scripture Depository with a clear understanding of the sect’s Tenth Order cultivation legacies.

• Chen Fei learned that three techniques could force a breakthrough with divine soul strength one realm above his cultivation, though failure could mean death or the loss of all cultivation.
• Zhu Shiyu recommended Jia Wanli, Bai Shiwang, and Lu Zongcheng as possible targets for Chen Fei's challenge.
• Chen Fei chose Lu Zongcheng and arranged to stake five hundred Great Dao Stones, judging that the challenge would best attract the Spirit Nurturing Sect's attention.

• Lu Zongcheng activated the Earthly Divine Skill Raging Waves and shattered one of the dragons trapping him, while the spectators realized he was far stronger than his Heavenly Pride Ranking suggested.
• Chen Fei used Azure Nether Divine Seal, a second Earthly Divine Skill that attacked the divine soul, and injured Lu despite Lu blocking part of its force with his spear.

• Chen Fei returned to his courtyard on Tianyang Peak and began refining the Great Dao Stones to advance his cultivation.

After completing the breakthroughs, he stood outside the Scripture Depository, poised to continue strengthening himself and challenge the Heavenly Pride Ranking.
