Monster Race leaders plotted to prevent Xu Yang from joining the Sky Wolf Clan, while Kermona recovered and prepared to fight him. Xu Yang cultivated in seclusion, studied how to create an Ultimate Secret Technique, and set his sights on obtaining a Perfect God Body by hunting World Beasts.

• Xu Yang analyzed the secret techniques he had learned and considered how to create an Ultimate Secret Technique.
• Xu Yang rejected the usual laws-based path to True God and planned to pursue a Perfect God Body by capturing World Beasts in the Dim Land.

Xu Yang reflected on the importance of creating new cultivation methods rather than relying on inherited techniques. Meanwhile, Xiyuan Clan Immortals Nie Shan and Nie Feng encountered a powerful black-hole-like Special Life form, and Nie Shan fled as it revealed its strength.

• Xu Yang studied the manuals and concluded that true cultivation required breaking free of inherited methods and creating new techniques.
• Nie Shan and Nie Feng searched Region 17 of the Black Hole Star Domain, hoping to find a Special Life form and earn resources to reach the Marquis level.
• Near the boundary between Regions 17 and 18, Nie Feng spotted two interacting black holes and urged Nie Shan to investigate.
• As their spaceships approached, Nie Shan sensed the disturbance's immense power and cautiously slowed down while Nie Feng pressed ahead.
• The black-hole-like Special Life form noticed Nie Feng's Black Dragon Spaceship, expanded into a vast vortex, and released a cry that overwhelmed the two Immortals.
• Nie Shan turned his white spaceship around and escaped into the Dark Universe.

Nie Shan returned to the Xiyuan Clan after abandoning Nie Feng to the Black Hole Special Life, then reported the creature’s location to Commander Yuan. Venerable Binglan and Venerable Kunze rushed there with Nie Shan, and Binglan reached the Black Hole Special Life ready to confront it.

• Nie Feng attacked the Black Hole Special Life with his Crimson Great Saber, but its miniature black-hole tentacles tore him apart and destroyed his saber.
• Nie Shan escaped in the White Bird Spaceship, imagining the rewards awaiting him, and returned to the West Abyss Secret Realm after twelve years.
• Nie Shan reported the Black Hole Special Life to Commander Yuan, who praised him and went to inform the Venerables.
• Venerable Binglan ordered Yuan Zhi to bring Nie Shan to the western exit, then traveled with Venerable Kunze and Nie Shan by repeated teleportation toward the creature.
• Venerable Binglan reached the Black Hole Special Life, whose panicked cry rang out as he approached.

Venerable Binglan captured a Black Hole Special Life and hoped to present it to Xu Yang in exchange for a reward. After rewarding Nie Shan and giving Venerable Kunze a Royal Clan Token, Binglan returned to the Demon Race Territory while construction continued on the Five Domain Continent.

• Venerable Binglan bound the Black Hole Special Life and discovered that its divine power contained an extraordinarily complex genetic structure that he believed indicated a gene level of at least a thousandfold.
• Venerable Binglan stored the captive in his World Ring and offered Nie Shan a reward for helping him find it.
• Nie Shan asked for cultivation resources, and Venerable Binglan gave him a World Ring containing a Cosmic Crystal Mountain worth one billion Demon Yuan, equipment, and divine-body restoration treasures.
• Venerable Binglan gave Venerable Kunze a Royal Clan Token and promised to help him if he encountered trouble.
• Venerable Binglan declined Venerable Kunze's invitation to the banquet and used a divine kingdom transmission to return to the Demon Race Territory.
• On the Five Domain Continent, thousands of Immortals and countless World Masters continued building a grand divine mountain whose foundation had taken several thousand years; then a figure appeared out of thin air.

Heaven Devouring Overlord brought Xu Yang the newly discovered Black Hole Special Life, which Xu Yang examined and accepted as a gift. Xu Yang made a Registered Disciple token for Venerable Binglan, leaving Heaven Devouring Overlord to deliver it to him.

• The Great Beings congratulated Mad Python Venerable on the Cloud Serpent Clan finding the Black Hole Special Life, while Heaven Devouring Overlord went to contact Xu Yang.
• Xu Yang spent time in disguise on Green Bamboo Mountain with his Six-eared Macaque friend, gathering green bamboo shoots.
• Heaven Devouring Overlord presented Xu Yang with the Black Hole Special Life that Binglan had found.
• Xu Yang restrained the Black Hole Special Life and recognized its exceptionally high Gene Level.
• Xu Yang crafted a Registered Disciple token and asked Heaven Devouring Overlord to deliver it to Binglan.

Xu Yang devoured much of a Black Hole Special Life, raising his Gene Level to over 4,100 times while discovering that his ability permanently stripped away the target’s genetic structure. He spared the nearly depleted creature and considered how to strengthen his abilities before his future battle with Kermona.

• Xu Yang returned to Five Domain Continent and took the Black Hole Special Life to an isolated mountain to devour its genes.
• Xu Yang consumed one tenth of the creature and raised his Gene Level to 1,900 times, while the Black Hole Special Life suffered severe pain and damage.
• Xu Yang investigated the creature’s condition and concluded that devouring permanently transferred its special genetic structure to him.
• Xu Yang continued devouring until his Gene Level exceeded 4,100 times, then stopped and placed the weakened Black Hole Special Life in his World Ring with a recovery treasure.
• Xu Yang compared his Gene Level with the strengths of Universe Masters and decided he needed to improve his weaknesses before facing Kermona, ideally delaying the battle until after eighty thousand years.

Xu Yang considered seeking a system-modified Will Secret Art while preparing for his coming duel with Kermona. More than fifty thousand years later, the Bug Race Empress summoned three Universe Masters and revealed that the newly emerged Monster Race Wolf Demon had gained the greatest reputation, leaving them to question the reports.

• Xu Yang judged that he was not yet strong enough to cultivate a Will Secret Art obtained through ordinary means and decided to pursue a modified one through the system.
• After more than fifty thousand years, Lord of Minglian, Lord of Quan, and Lord of Youmei gathered in the Empress Domain in response to the Bug Race Empress's summons.
• The Bug Race Empress worried that the Monster Race might be rising and wondered whether Gu You's intelligence signaled the appearance of its 'Original.'
• Lord of Youmei and Lord of Minglian mentioned plans to test newly developed insect beasts in the Outer Domain Battlefield, and the Empress approved with a warning to protect them.
• The Bug Race Empress told the three Universe Masters that the newly born Monster Race Wolf Demon had become the universe's most renowned Universe Master, while Lord of Minglian doubted the Human Race reports.

Xu Yang completed and tested his Ultimate Secret Technique, “Meteor Fall,” while the Empress ordered the Insect Race to prepare against the Wolf Demon and secretly place a spy among his subordinates. As rumors about the Monster Race’s peerless genius Gu You spread, Xu Yang wondered whether someone was trying to kill him.

• The Empress confirmed that the Wolf Demon had become a Universe Master and said she would kill him herself, while Lord of Quan, Lord of Minglian, and Lord of Youmei searched for a subordinate to enslave as a hidden pawn.
• After another Ten Thousand Years, Xu Yang finished creating “Meteor Fall” and tested its spacetime-powered charge and toxic beam in a desolate starfield, confirming that it was an Ultimate Secret Technique.
• Xu Yang stayed in seclusion to practice “Meteor Fall” while waiting to return to the Dark Abyss, as rumors of a peerless Monster Race genius spread across the Original Universe.
• At Dongshan City, Xu Yang agreed to revive Venerables from seven races in exchange for their relocation and a thirty percent tax increase, and told Arrogant Venerable that more factions could join the city.
• After Arrogant Venerable left, Xu Yang wondered what the rumors surrounding Gu You were meant to accomplish and whether someone wanted his life.

After ending his nearly sixty-thousand-year retreat, Xu Yang managed Dongshan City’s affairs and began reviving the Venerables of seven dependent races. He selected four races for the first revival and promised protection to the others, then reversed time and space at the Memory Hall.

• Xu Yang emerged from seclusion and found Arrogant Venerable accepting a World Ring from the Kua Shan Clan’s remaining Venerable; he let Arrogant keep it as a reward but warned him to remain mindful of his duties.
• Xu Yang summoned the seven races, including the Kua Shan Clan, and arranged to revive their eight fallen Venerables in batches to limit the strain and conceal his strength.
• At the Memory Hall, Xu Yang chose to revive the Venerables of four races first and promised protection from Dongshan City’s Lord’s Mansion to the remaining four races for ten thousand years.
• Xu Yang ordered everyone out of range and began reversing time and space to retrieve the chosen Venerables’ pasts.

Xu Yang revived Venerable Qiu Tian and three other elementary Venerables by reversing time and space, then met Purple Cloud Master while traveling through the void. Purple Cloud Master revealed that the alliance had lost 101 Universe Overlords in the war, leaving Xu Yang alarmed about the situation.

• Xu Yang reversed time and space to revive Venerable Qiu Tian, though the heavy treasure staff Qiu Tian had carried was lost.
• Xu Yang revived the other three elementary Venerables, ordered Arrogant Venerable to settle the clans, and departed.
• Xu Yang traveled through the void using his Authority of Time and Space and found the Purple Cloud Clan's Supreme Treasure Palace.
• Xu Yang joined Purple Cloud Master for a fishing conversation and declined an offer to take Little White's descendants.
• Purple Cloud Master told Xu Yang that the alliance had lost 101 Universe Overlords in the war.

Xu Yang learned how the Nine Domain Alliance planned to contain the dissatisfied races, then received eight races to oversee. After a hundred thousand years, his divine kingdom had expanded and his thoughts turned briefly toward having descendants with Meng Cha, just as Secret Art Draw finished charging.

• Purple Cloud Master explained that Flame Emperor had promised to ask Zuo Shan Ke to revive three powerful overlords, assign the remaining Universe Masters to guide the dissatisfied races, and negotiate a truce with the Monster Race.
• Xu Yang received eight races to oversee, including the powerful Tengqiu Grass race, and thanked Purple Cloud Master for arranging it.
• After a hundred thousand years, Xu Yang observed the expanded divine kingdom and saw that Yate had become immortal while Jie Suo focused on raising descendants.
• Seeing Jie Suo with his pups stirred Xu Yang to wonder about having descendants, though he pushed aside thoughts of Meng Cha as premature.
• Xu Yang checked his system panel and waited as Secret Art Draw finished charging.

Xu Yang used a Special Secret Technique draw to return to the Chaos Demon Abyss, hoping to find a Will Secret Art that could help him defeat Kermona and take over the Sky Wolf Clan. Protected by the system, he descended into the middle layers and discovered that the gray mist was a vast swarm of Demon Mosquitoes surrounding an enormous ancient divine body.

• Xu Yang drew a Special Secret Technique and chose to revisit the Chaos Demon Abyss instead of letting the system select a realm at random.
• Xu Yang descended through the Chaos Demon Abyss, passed the fissure where he had obtained Radiant Golden Body, and reached the boundary between its upper and middle layers.
• Xu Yang saw an ancient, towering divine body beyond the gray-white mist and sensed its immense power.
• Xu Yang discovered that the mist consisted of countless Demon Mosquitoes, a clan feared even by powerful True Gods.
• Xu Yang noticed that the Demon Mosquitoes had gathered around the divine body and decided to approach it.

Xu Yang reached the enormous Divine Corpse and used the system to reverse time, witnessing the battle that had killed it. The memory ended with the corpse sinking into the Chaos Demon Abyss, while Xu Yang’s fate remained unknown.

• Xu Yang examined the Divine Corpse, avoided its ominous mouth, and landed on its cracked body.
• Xu Yang activated the system, which reversed time around the Divine Corpse without affecting the Demon Mosquito Clan.
• Xu Yang witnessed the Divine Corpse, once a Chaos Master, fight a Chaos Giant Beast in an ancient battle.
• The Chaos Giant Beast shattered the Divine Corpse’s sword and fatally wounded him, forcing him to use the Reincarnation Secret Method.
• The Divine Corpse failed to break through to the Chaos Realm Peak before his true spirit left his body.
• The Chaos Giant Beast tried to seize the corpse, but a terrifying presence from the abyss made it retreat as the remains sank below.

Xu Yang searched the Divine Corpse’s secret arts and chose the modified “Hundred Tribulations Refining Demon” to temper his will. After enduring its first demonic rune refinement, he returned from the Chaos Demon Abyss wondering what terrifying beings waited in its lower depths.

• Xu Yang examined the secret arts and found “Hundred Tribulations Refining Demon,” a technique created by Lian Mo that could temper will to the God King Realm.
• Xu Yang rejected “Heart Demon Purgatory” and the fragmented “Void Walker,” then selected the clearer, system-modified “Hundred Tribulations Refining Demon.”
• Xu Yang inscribed the first layer of demonic runes and endured intense pain as demonic flames refined his will.
• The first refinement ended, and Xu Yang calmed himself before the system’s countdown began.
• Xu Yang looked toward the deeper Chaos Demon Abyss, wondered who even the Chaos Giant Beast had feared, and was swept away by the system.

Xu Yang endured the first nine layers of the God King-level will secret art Hundred Tribulations Refining Demon, then learned its will-killing move, Heart Refining Tribulation. He formed the Heart Refining Seed and armor and began building the Heart Refining Great Realm, which was still taking shape.

• Xu Yang recovered from inscribing the first demonic patterns and found that they had strengthened and purified his will.
• After ten years, Xu Yang inscribed the second layer, endured its agony, and felt his will grow stronger.
• Over the next eight thousand years, Xu Yang completed nine layers of demonic patterns and paused to study the will-killing move they revealed.
• Xu Yang condensed demonic fire into a Heart Refining Seed and merged it with his will.
• Xu Yang formed the Heart Refining Armor and began constructing the Heart Refining Great Realm, adding the Gloomy Forest, Soul Devouring Swamp, and Ghost Crying Ridge.
