• Xu Yang inspected the wealth he had collected on Yanji Continent, including a silver treasure chest and the Gathering Venerable Bowl, and prepared to calculate their value.

Xu Yang counted the spoils from the Yanji tribe’s destruction, found more than 230,000 resources on his system panel but could not use them, and spent three months exploring God Swallowing City. He met Yule and Tian Mei at a bar, where he began a private conversation with them.

• Xu Yang valued his spoils at 76.3 billion Demon Yuan and set aside the Secret Pattern Treasure Chest and Gathering Venerable Bowl as his greatest prizes.

• The Heaven Devouring Overlord welcomed Xu Yang to a world inhabited only by wolf demons and brought him to a testing palace.
• The Heaven Devouring Overlord told Xu Yang that servants would test his full power while he observed, so he could create a tailored training plan.

Xu Yang tested his strength in the Heaven Devouring Overlord’s hall, where he discovered that the imprisoned servants could not be harmed because they transmitted all damage to their master. The Heaven Devouring Overlord recognized Xu Yang’s extraordinary potential, gave him a token for the Burning Heaven Divine General inheritance, and took him to choose Heavy Treasures.

• Xu Yang fought twenty King-level Peak servants in the hall but could not injure them, while the Heaven Devouring Overlord sensed his strength through the spatial patterns binding them.
• The Heaven Devouring Overlord realized Xu Yang had exceptional strength and amplitude despite not having King-level Peak law comprehension, then examined his blood and discovered his 56-fold Gene Multiplier.

• Xu Yang asked about a Secret Pattern Treasure Chest, and the Heaven Devouring Overlord said Silver Wolf would bring it after verifying its Life Imprint.
• The Heaven Devouring Overlord led Xu Yang to choose Heavy Treasures, revealing a lava lake, a strange beech tree, and a thatched hut.

The Heaven Devouring Overlord let Xu Yang choose treasures from its collection and offered him a second choice if a Secret Pattern Treasure Chest yielded a secret pattern weapon. After Kahes opened a chest containing a Heavy Treasure crown instead, Xu Yang exchanged it and selected a Palace Heavy Treasure for protection and a set of claw gauntlets for attack.

• The Heaven Devouring Overlord showed Xu Yang its secluded world and the Star Sealing Codex, then invited him to choose treasures from its thatched cottage.
• The Heaven Devouring Overlord summoned Silver Wolf Venerable and Kahes so Kahes could open a Secret Pattern Treasure Chest for Xu Yang.
• Kahes opened the chest to reveal a silver Heavy Treasure crown rather than a secret pattern weapon, and the Heaven Devouring Overlord allowed Xu Yang to choose two treasures.
• Xu Yang decided to exchange the crown because its armor effects were weaker than his Silver Armor.
• Xu Yang chose the Lightning Flash Palace Heavy Treasure and turned to a set of four claw gauntlets for his second treasure.

Xu Yang chose the Slaughter Claws and received the first layer of the Gengjin Blood Slaughter technique, which required mastery of Metal and Space Strangulation to reach major mastery. After a celebratory meal, Heaven Devouring Overlord arranged for Golden Wolf Venerable to accompany Xu Yang to obtain his Burning Heaven Divine General Inheritance, and Xu Yang grew closer to his senior brothers.

• Xu Yang selected the Slaughter Claws, endured their Will Impact, and learned that Gengjin Blood Slaughter required mastery of the Law of Metal and Space Strangulation.

• Golden Wolf Venerable obtained the Noah Star Pearls and promised to help Xu Yang, while Silver Wolf Venerable invited Xu Yang to share his Thousand Maple Drunk.

Xu Yang and Golden Wolf Venerable traveled to the Time-Space Nightmare Beast Clan to seek a Divine General's inheritance. They entered the clan's territory through an inspection point's Space Passage, leaving King Mu Fu behind envying Xu Yang's opportunity.

• Golden Wolf Venerable explained that the Time-Space Nightmare Beast Clan occupied five star zones and used a servant's Divine Kingdom token to teleport with Xu Yang to the San Luo Star Zone.
• Golden Wolf Venerable and Xu Yang crossed the Dark Universe in a Secret Rune flying vessel, with Golden Wolf Venerable sharing knowledge about the Monster Race along the way.

• King Mu Fu learned that Xu Yang, known as Black Abyss, had come to receive a Divine General's inheritance, then adjusted the Space Passage route for them.
• Golden Wolf Venerable led Xu Yang through the wormhole toward the Time-Space Nightmare Beast Clan's inner domain, while King Mu Fu sighed that he wanted an inheritance too.

Xu Yang arrived at the Burning Heaven inheritance site with Golden Wolf Venerable and entered an empty inheritance cave to begin the trials. He rapidly passed the early foundation levels and continued climbing the stairs as mysterious characters appeared beside him.

• Golden Wolf Venerable brought Xu Yang to Burning Heaven Continent, where they entered Burning Heaven Hall and met Venerable Chi Ming.
• Venerable Chi Ming confirmed that fourteen inheritance seats were vacant and sent an Immortal guard to escort Xu Yang to Burning Heaven Valley.
• Xu Yang entered an unoccupied cave, where the entrance sealed behind him and the inheritance revealed its rules and cultivation information.
• Xu Yang stepped onto the inheritance stairs, summoned his true body, and learned that each level required cultivation followed by a puppet assessment.
• Xu Yang quickly mastered the opening material, defeated the first assessment puppet, and advanced through successive levels.
• Less than a week later, mysterious characters appeared beside Xu Yang as he continued climbing the inheritance stairs.

Xu Yang used the Training Room to master the trial puppets and climbed to the end of the Burning Heaven Stairway’s first stage. He received the preliminary candidate reward, then entered the second stage while Venerable Chi Ming and Golden Wolf Venerable discussed his progress.

• Xu Yang spent ten Burning Heaven Days at each level after the 2,500th, training against virtual puppets until he could defeat the real trial puppets in a single move.
• After 832 Burning Heaven Days, Xu Yang reached the 3,333rd step and qualified as a preliminary candidate.
• Xu Yang consumed the Burning Heaven Vine, which deepened his understanding of the secret method but did not raise his Gene Multiplier above 56.
• Xu Yang stored the Mysterious Purple Crystal Clothes in his World Ring and immediately entered the second stage.
• Venerable Chi Ming and Golden Wolf Venerable praised Xu Yang’s progress and recalled how they had become friends after facing a Star-Devouring Worm.

After 684 years in the Burning Heaven Divine General Inheritance, Xu Yang reached level 5,001 and faced four far more coordinated puppets. He destroyed one, endured the remaining three, and suspected the answer to advancing lay in the palace at level 6,666.

• Another 456 years passed before Xu Yang reached level 5,001 and received the temporary Triple Void secret method, which could raise his body amplitude to sixtyfold.
• Xu Yang fought four blood-red puppets and studied their tactics while dodging their coordinated attacks.
• Xu Yang spotted a flaw in the Four-Hoofed Strange Beast Puppet, tore out part of its spine, and destroyed its core.
• Xu Yang battled the remaining three puppets, focusing on the Scorpion and Humanoid Puppets while leaving the defensive Liquid Puppet for last.
• Xu Yang wondered how he could face eight puppets at level 7,500 and looked toward the palace at level 6,666 for a possible answer.

Xu Yang completed the second-stage examination in Burning Heaven Divine General's inheritance and reached the inheritance hall, where he learned that advancing further required creating his own secret technique. He began examining the hall’s extensive inscriptions and technique frameworks for help.

• Xu Yang defeated the examination puppets on the 6665th floor by using Crimson Flame Incineration and a particle storm to destroy one puppet, then reached the inheritance hall.
• The hall’s message congratulated Xu Yang on completing the second-stage examination and directed him to its far end to learn the inheritance’s secrets.
• Xu Yang found a Burning Heaven Vine Heart and a silk scroll, then learned that eight puppets would guard the 7501st floor.
• Xu Yang read that creating an ordinary Universe Venerable-level secret technique would let him pass the 7500th floor, while creating a Universe Venerable-level Peak Secret Technique would earn him the Burning Heaven Divine General position.
• Xu Yang explored the hall’s law inscriptions, incomplete techniques, and frameworks, hoping they would help him create a secret technique.

Xu Yang studied the secret-method frameworks in the Burning Heaven Divine Hall and comprehended Time Acceleration, then began using it to understand Time Deceleration. Meanwhile, Purple Shadow developed the Divine Kingdom into a lively settlement for several trillion captured monsters.

• Xu Yang used the Slaughter Claws and Law Draws to study laws, and Purple Shadow's draw gave him complete comprehension of the Law of Thunder.
• Xu Yang studied a spider carving for over a month and awakened a rudimentary Time Acceleration ability that made his movements appear teleport-fast.
• Xu Yang searched the hall's time-related secret-method frameworks and began comparing Time Acceleration with Time Deceleration to advance his comprehension.
• Xu Yang decided to strengthen his immortal foundation before pursuing a breakthrough to the Universe Venerable realm.
• Purple Shadow visited a tavern in the Divine Kingdom, where the monster population had doubled after more than a thousand years of cultivation.

Xu Yang learned that his 231847 system resources could expand his divine kingdom far beyond its natural limit, then began drawing in space fragments to enlarge it while keeping his Purple Shadow Clone safe. Meanwhile, a thousand years after Xu Yang entered the Burning Heaven Divine Hall, Venerable Chi Ming and Golden Wolf Venerable speculated about his progress and worried over the inheritance.

• Xu Yang discovered that every three resource units could increase his divine kingdom's diameter by one million kilometers and decided to use them while remaining in the immortal realm.
• Xu Yang resolved to keep Purple Shadow guarding his divine kingdom and wait for his main body and Red Shadow to seek World Master resources after the main body's inheritance trial.
• Xu Yang flew to the Divine Kingdom Membrane and unleashed his power, causing it to absorb nearby energy and Space Fragments as his divine kingdom began expanding.
• After a thousand years without Xu Yang emerging from the Burning Heaven Divine Hall, the envoys reported his absence to Venerable Chi Ming and Golden Wolf Venerable.
• Venerable Chi Ming and Golden Wolf Venerable considered whether Xu Yang was still in the first stage, creating a secret technique in the second, or approaching the final stage, and Golden Wolf dismissed the last possibility because the Patriarch had forbidden it.
• Golden Wolf Venerable reassured Venerable Chi Ming that Xu Yang was unlikely to obtain the complete inheritance and predicted that he could eventually become a third-tier Universe Venerable.

After five hundred years of study, Xu Yang broke through his mistaken approach and comprehended Time Stop, then began creating his own Burning Heaven Secret Method. He left off experimenting with its runes, determined to keep refining the technique despite the danger and difficulty.

• Xu Yang realized Time Stop was not simply Time Deceleration pushed to its limit and repeatedly tested a new understanding of the Law Vortex.
• Xu Yang successfully froze nearby spatial particles for three breaths, though he noted that resistance from an enemy would shorten the effect.
• Xu Yang decided to create his own Burning Heaven Secret Method and studied thousands of secret method templates, choosing Crimson Flame Incineration as his reference.
• Xu Yang's first attempt at adapting Crimson Flame Incineration caused his throat to burst apart, but his immortal divine body quickly reformed.
• Xu Yang extracted 1,024 core runes from Crimson Flame Incineration and began carefully building a new secret method around them.

Xu Yang created and tested his first Venerable Level secret art, Time-Stopping Thunder Roar, and resolved to continue the Burning Heaven Divine General inheritance trials. The chapter ended by announcing that an earth-shaking event was taking place in the distant Human Race.

• After seventy-eight years of study, Xu Yang completed a Venerable Level secret art based on sound waves and Myriad Seals Returning as One.
• Xu Yang entered the Training Room and summoned four puppets modeled on the opponents from the 6,665th floor.
• Xu Yang unleashed his new secret art and destroyed all four puppets, though using it with his current strength injured his body.
• Xu Yang named the technique Time-Stopping Thunder Roar and judged that it could help him pass the 7,500th floor, while a Peak Secret Technique would earn him the Burning Heaven Divine General position.
• Xu Yang planned to rest before continuing the trials, as an earth-shaking event unfolded in the distant Human Race.
