Xu Yang, now a Star Level Seventh Rank, hunted in the eastern Ten Thousand Beast Plains and spotted a Star Level monkey flying west. Suspecting its tribe lived to the east, he headed there on foot to find more resources.

• Xu Yang ambushed and killed a leopard, then ate it but remained only half full.
• Xu Yang saw a Star Level monkey flying west and reasoned that a large monkey tribe might be east of him.
• Xu Yang chose to approach the suspected monkey nest overland so he would not alert the tribe's sentries.

Xu Yang infiltrated the Azure-Eyed Baboons’ mountain territory to raid their nest while the leader traveled to Mian Gu Black Forest. He found nine Planet-Level baboons at the palace and attacked, believing they could help him reach Universe Level.

Xu Yang endured a painful breakthrough to Universe Level, First Stage, and discovered that his body had grown enormous and his spaceflight speed had surged. He left the planet’s atmosphere and marveled at the vast gap between Universe Level and Star Level.

• Xu Yang’s nine Origin Power stars expanded, exploded, and formed a spiral galaxy with a black hole at its core as he broke through to Universe Level.

• Xu Yang flew from the marsh island into outer space at a speed he estimated to exceed 900 kilometers per second.
• Xu Yang compared his new speed with his former Star Level abilities and reflected on how rare Universe Level warriors were.

After reaching the Universe Level, Xu Yang worried that the planet could not provide the resources he needed to advance further, so he explored its ocean in search of food and resources. Deep on the seafloor, he found a glowing cave and spotted a Deep Sea Eel he wanted to eat.

• Xu Yang spotted a blue glow from a small cave and saw a Deep Sea Eel eating a mantis shrimp inside.
• Xu Yang decided to eat the Apprentice Level Rank Eight Deep Sea Eel because he had loved eel rice in his previous life.

Xu Yang encountered and killed a powerful deep-sea leech, then surfaced and spotted a pod of Azure Swimming Whales. He headed toward the whales, approaching them unseen as night fell.

• Xu Yang was bitten by a camouflaged leech and discovered it was an eighth-stage Planet Level creature.

• Xu Yang surfaced at sunset, spotted a whale spout, and swam toward it for a potential feast.
• Xu Yang silently approached a pod of Azure Swimming Whales as they played and sang in the darkening sea.

Xu Yang waited near an Azure Swimming Whale pod to lure out a top-tier predator, and a Giant Deep Sea Squid emerged to hunt the whales. After the squid swallowed four of them, Xu Yang attacked, leaving the clash poised to begin.

• The Giant Deep Sea Squid hunted through its territory and slaughtered marine creatures as it rose toward the surface.
• Xu Yang hid fifty kilometers from the Azure Swimming Whale pod and waited for a predator to appear.

• Xu Yang swung his claw at the squid's head as the ninth-stage Star Level predator trembled before him.

Aboard the Hundred-Eyes, Bima agreed to let Mendoza take another captive Star Level beast as Blood Food. Mendoza chose the Steel Armored Hunting Pig, while the chapter also revealed how the Hundred-Eyes Poison Spiders struggled to afford their enormous, outdated ship.

• Mendoza pleaded with Bima for another Blood Food, claiming he was close to reaching the eighth tier.
• Bima agreed and opened the compartment containing the captive Star Level beasts.
• Mendoza chose the largest prisoner, the Steel Armored Hunting Pig, and tore off its foreleg when it cried out.
• Bima told Mendoza to rinse the pig before bringing it out, and he dragged it to the washing area.
• The narration explained that the Hundred-Eyes was an expensive, secondhand B-class warship with minimal automation, reflecting the demon race's backward mechanical technology.

Bima reported that the Blood Food reserves were running low, so Dudley ordered the ship to divert toward remote planet WEQ-2938, Navara Star. Meanwhile, Xu Yang finished training and headed for the Verdant Continent to visit the Brown Bear in the Lightning Strike Mountain Range.

• Bima told Dudley that Mendoza had taken more Blood Food and the reserves were dwindling.
• Dudley decided WEQ-2938 likely held abundant Blood Food and ordered the ship to change course there.

• Xu Yang emerged from the Training Room with his force level at 21.4 and reflected on his training and progress.
• Xu Yang swam toward the Verdant Continent, hoping to see the Brown Bear again.

Five Star Level beasts gathered to discuss facing the Illusion Sea Lamp Mother, but they feared its overwhelming size and strength. Frost Flood Dragon Sogolian introduced Xima, a small but fearsome poisonous insect who might give them a chance against the threat.

• The Deformed Rhinoceros and King Kong Ant Queen Ant warned that five beasts could not defeat the Illusion Sea Lamp Mother, and the others agreed its size made the fight seem hopeless.
• Frost Flood Dragon Sogolian spotted a green cloud approaching and welcomed its old friend Xima as the group’s sixth member.
• Xima emerged as a three-meter beetle whose back was covered in tiny holes filled with writhing worms.
• Sogolian revealed that Xima ruled the southern region and had poisoned the former Star Level Eight ruler, the Sky-Piercing Tiger, while still at Star Level One.
• Sogolian told the others to draw the Illusion Sea Lamp Mother’s attention and leave the rest to Xima.

Xu Yang used a third-tier draw to gain the second level of the Water Domain, then won the sixth level of the Light Domain with his second-tier chance. He tested the new power by using Demon Wolf techniques underwater.

• Xu Yang used the Light Domain to activate Black Sky, plunging the ocean fissure into darkness and blinding its creatures.
• Xu Yang tried another Demon Wolf technique, Light Sense, and was shocked by its power.

Xu Yang tested his new Light Sense ability and discovered that it let him see creatures’ Origin Power pathways, which could help him scout and predict attacks. After considering the skill’s limits and waking from a night’s sleep, he reflected on the energy demands of cultivation and resolved to forge his own path with the system.

• Xu Yang used Light Sense to inspect a lobster, then searched the Coral Sea for a Planet Level creature.
• Xu Yang found a sea clam and saw its Origin Power core and pathways brighten and spread when he disturbed it.
• Xu Yang repeatedly tapped the clam to study how its Origin Power changed, nearly exhausting it before he stopped.
• Xu Yang considered how Light Sense could predict an enemy’s next move, but recognized that his neural reaction speed could limit its usefulness.
• Xu Yang returned to the seabed rift to sleep, then woke and surfaced the next day.
• Xu Yang reflected on the energy costs faced by rogue cultivators and felt relieved that his system could help him forge a path forward.
