Chapter Summaries

Chen Fei used the courtyard’s one-on-one battles to kill origin demons and gather spiritual essence, testing how its rules worked and using the Azure Grass it produced to strengthen his Divine Soul.

• Chen Fei began merging Mid-grade Great Dao Stones into his physique as Zhu Muyun entered the courtyard and attacked him with the Void Splitting Saber.
• Chen Fei blocked Zhu Muyun’s strike with the Qian Yuan Sword and judged that Zhu Muyun had neither reached the Eleventh Order Extreme nor comprehended a Heavenly God Skill.

Chen Fei killed Zhu Muyun with two Heaven-Tilting Sword strikes and raised his physique to the Earth God Realm Extreme. As origin demons realized how many of their peak fighters were dying, Ban Yunxiang and three others confronted Chen Fei, who began their battle by killing one of them with the Demon Suppressor secret art.

• Zhu Muyun tried to escape, but Chen Fei caught him and struck the flaw in his Void Splitting Saber with the Heaven-Tilting Sword.

• Ban Yunxiang unleashed a mutual destruction secret art and mocked Chen Fei as his aura declined, but Chen Fei bound him with Sword Silk and his aura began to rise again.

Chen Fei recovered from his battle with Ban Yunxiang and continued fighting peak Eleventh Order origin demons in Yougu City, killing several—including three extreme-limit opponents—while using the Time Hut to heal between duels. The Twelfth Order Origin Demons realized he was not exhausted and would keep fighting, leaving only three extreme-limit Eleventh Order origin demons after Gu Qihong's defeat.

• Chen Fei survived Ban Yunxiang's annihilating force, sealed Ban Yunxiang with the Night Demon War Soldier, and healed inside the Void Return Realm's Time Hut.

After he killed all six opponents, a new round began immediately, leaving the Twelfth Order Origin Demons facing another choice about whether to stay or withdraw.

• The Twelfth Order Origin Demons decided to gamble on another round, hoping to kill Chen Fei despite their losses.

After the battle, the survivors discovered nearly three hundred Earth God Realm cultivators had died, and Chen Fengyan called for an investigation into how Demonic Beasts from the Heavenly Chasm had entered the Aberration.

• Chen Fei returned to the Spirit Nurturing Sect and began refining the Azure Grass.

Chen Fei received the Spirit Nurturing Sect’s share of Twelfth Order Origin Demon Origin and used it to accelerate his Heavenly Sword cultivation. When a newly advanced Mid Earth God Realm cultivator challenged him for his Status Spiritual Material, Chen Fei decided the wager should be higher.

• Chen Fei refined Azure Grass for a month, bringing his Heavenly Sword count to nearly fourteen hundred while the Cold Mountain Domain celebrated its victory at Yougu City.
• Tong Zhitian told Chen Fei that the Heavenly God Realm experts would distribute some Twelfth Order Origin Demon Origin and use the rest as a reward for a special task.

• Chen Fei entered the gateway to Fengding Valley and noticed that the World Vital Energy there was strange.

Chen Fei investigated the weakening demonic energy near the Heavenly Chasm and discovered that pure World Vital Energy was surging outward from it. After a Demonic Beast emerged and was captured by the origin demons, Chen Fei sent his Night Demon War Soldier inside to investigate, but it was corrupted and self-destructed before finding the cause of the changes.

• Chen Fei traveled toward the Heavenly Chasm and found that the World Vital Energy grew less frenzied the closer he came.
• Chen Fei reached a point near the Heavenly Chasm, sensed many Eleventh Order origin demons and a Twelfth Order Origin Demon, and saw pure World Vital Energy flowing outward.
• A Demonic Beast charged out of the Heavenly Chasm, and the origin demons, led by a Twelfth Order Origin Demon, sealed it away.

• Chen Fei sent his Night Demon War Soldier into the Heavenly Chasm, where unpredictable demonic energy corrupted it until it self-destructed.
• Chen Fei realized he had to uncover the cause of the Heavenly Chasm's changes before returning, in case the situation became dangerous.

Chen Fei investigated the transformed Heavenly Chasm, where spatially emerging demonic energy threatened even powerful cultivators, and used nested Night Demon War Soldiers carrying Earth God Weapons to explore its depths. He discovered sophisticated formation patterns embedded in spatial fissures, then returned to Fengding Valley and found it occupied by a group of primal demons.

• Chen Fei reasoned that the Heavenly Chasm's demonic energy emerged through space and feared that it could eventually contaminate the entire Cold Mountain Domain.
• Chen Fei sent nested Night Demon War Soldiers into the Heavenly Chasm, learning that they could travel farther by sacrificing outer layers and that the demonic energy grew more frequent deeper inside.
• Chen Fei used nearly a thousand probes over five days and found that carrying Earth God Weapons let the soldiers reach more than three hundred million li into the Heavenly Chasm.
• Chen Fei's soldiers discovered formation patterns carved inside spatial fissures, suggesting that powerful experts were investigating the Heavenly Chasm's transformation.
• Chen Fei returned to Fengding Valley after avoiding primal demons along the way, but stopped when he found a group of primal demons there.

• Su Hongtao of Phoenix Ridge Palace arrived and disrupted the teleportation formation, causing Chen Fei's return to be interrupted.

Chen Fei killed Su Hongtao after revealing Earth God Realm Extreme strength, then returned to Nanxi City and reported that Demonic Beasts had escaped from the changed Heavenly Chasm. After receiving his reward, he cultivated with Twelfth Order Origin Demon Origin and formed a single Heavenly Sword, which began slashing at his divine soul.

• Su Hongtao attacked Chen Fei, but Chen Fei shattered his palm with his physique and wounded him with the Heaven-Tilting Sword.
• Su Hongtao tried to flee and surrender, but Chen Fei disrupted the teleportation array and killed him with another Heaven-Tilting Sword.
• Chen Fei returned to Nanxi City, told the treasure vault's Artifact Spirit that origin demons surrounded Fengding Valley, and reported the Heavenly Chasm's changes to Chen Fengyan.
• Chen Fengyan gave Chen Fei twenty portions of Twelfth Order Origin Demon Origin as his mission reward and began preparing to warn the other Heavenly God Realm experts.
• Back at Spirit Nurturing Sect, Chen Fei cultivated until his Three Thousand Heavenly Swords merged into one Heavenly Sword, which turned and slashed at his divine soul.

Chen Fei transformed his Divine Soul into the Early Heavenly God Realm and used it to force a breakthrough to Peak Earth God Realm. He then began refining Great Dao Stones to raise his vital energy to Earth God Realm Extreme while the Void Return Realm advanced in grade.

• Chen Fei fused his two Earth God Realm Extreme Divine Souls, transforming his Divine Soul into the Early Heavenly God Realm.
