The Illusion Sea Lamp Mother completed its breakthrough to Universe Level, drawing the attention of Xu Yang and Dudley’s starship crew. Dudley descended to hunt it, and the chapter ended as the newly empowered monster struck at him from the planet.

• A planet-wide energy vortex formed as the Illusion Sea Lamp Mother drew cosmic energy into the Southern Continent.
• Frost Flood Dragon Sogolian, Azure-Eyed Baboon Leader, Giant Crocodile Olay, and Poisonous Insect Xima decided to flee before the Illusion Sea Lamp Mother finished breaking through.
• Xu Yang noticed the vortex but chose to leave the emerging Universe Level monster alone while he gathered resources to reach Domain Lord Level.
• Dudley and his six Hundred-Eyed Poison Spiders spotted the vortex, and Dudley decided to wait for the breakthrough before hunting the creature.
• After the vortex faded, Dudley descended toward the planet while Bima piloted the starship north.
• Xu Yang saw Dudley arrive as a burning meteor, and the Illusion Sea Lamp Mother thrust its tentacles toward him.

Xu Yang spotted an enormous battleship while Dudley fought the Illusion Sea Lamp Mother, and he raced to claim the ship before the aliens could use it. As Xu Yang infiltrated the battleship, Dudley severely wounded the native giant jellyfish in their battle in space.

• Dudley restrained the Illusion Sea Lamp Mother's tentacles, but the jellyfish severed their tips to escape and Dudley ate them.
• Xu Yang watched the battle and noticed a scarred battleship emerge from the clouds, then hurried toward the southern coast to seize it.
• Bima led six Star Level Hundred-Eyed Poison Spiders out of the battleship to investigate the powerful Origin Power fluctuations.
• Xu Yang used Light Sense to detect three figures aboard the ship, realized two were injured prisoners, and infiltrated the battleship while its remaining guard stood still.
• Dudley struck the Illusion Sea Lamp Mother with a lightning sphere, leaving a wound more than five kilometers across and severely injuring it.

The Illusion Sea Lamp Mother crashed into Navara Star’s Frozen Sea, triggering a global catastrophe, and Xu Yang raced to stop Dudley from escaping aboard its warship. After Xu Yang slammed the ship into the plains, he charged at Dudley, and the two prepared to collide.

• The Illusion Sea Lamp Mother struck the Frozen Sea, causing a colossal tsunami, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mass extinction across Navara Star.
• Xu Yang watched the destruction and charged toward the alien warship, deciding to keep the invaders from taking it away.
• Dudley detected Xu Yang approaching the warship and rushed to intercept him at extreme speed.
• Xu Yang reached the warship first and smashed into its hull, sending it crashing into the Ten Thousand Beast Plains and burying its bow in the ground.
• Xu Yang turned to face the furious Dudley, and the two accelerated toward each other before Xu Yang leapt into the air.

Xu Yang used Black Sky and the Five-Element Domain against Dudley, whose Universe Level Five Bone Shattering Rose formed armor around him. Xu Yang overwhelmed Dudley in their clash, and Dudley realized he had to flee.

• Xu Yang plunged the battlefield into darkness with Black Sky and the Five-Element Domain as Dudley’s movements slowed.
• Dudley unleashed the Bone Shattering Rose, which grew across the sky and blocked Xu Yang’s opening attack with its rapidly regenerating vines.
• Dudley absorbed earth energy and formed the Bone Shattering Rose into armor, while Xu Yang compressed his fur into armor and prepared to fight with his five-element domain.
• Dudley attacked with poisoned spider spears, but Xu Yang dodged and tore through his plant armor with a chain of claw strikes.
• Dudley relied on the Bone Shattering Rose’s regeneration to survive Xu Yang’s assault, then recognized that he could not win and decided to run.

Xu Yang pursued and killed Dudley before the black spider could escape into space, then captured Dudley’s stranded crew. He left the six spiders alive and asked which one could teach him to fly a spaceship.

• Dudley fled toward outer space, but Xu Yang chased him and trapped him with his five-element domain.
• Xu Yang used Light Sense to locate Bone Shattering Rose’s Origin Power transmission nodes and severed them, weakening Dudley’s defenses.

• Bima and five other Star Level Hundred-Eyed Poison Spiders tried to free their buried starship and escape after Dudley lost.
• Xu Yang appeared beside the spiders and Dudley’s corpse, then asked which of them could teach him how to fly the spaceship.

Xu Yang forced the Hundred-Eyed Poison Spiders to help him operate their captured spaceship, killing Bima when it claimed it could not fly the vessel. He learned that the ship was a B2-class transport craft and reached its manual cockpit, where the captive explained the spiders’ role in the border region.

• Xu Yang questioned the six Hundred-Eyed Poison Spiders about flying the spaceship, then killed Bima when it said it did not know how.
• Xu Yang chose another spider to guide him to the ship, warning the four remaining spiders not to run away.
• The captive opened the spaceship hatch and told Xu Yang it was a B2-class transport ship without defensive weapons, repurposed by Dudley as a mobile base.
• As they walked through the ship, the captive explained that the planet lay between Monster Race and Insect Race Territory, within a region containing 720 Demon Race Guardian Stars.
• Xu Yang reached the cockpit and learned that the ship relied on manual controls because its operators could not afford an Intelligent Core.

After verifying the spiders’ accounts, Xu Yang killed everyone aboard the warship and claimed the spacecraft, leaving him free to escape Navara Star. He later searched the devastated Lightning Strike Mountain Range and found the Brown Bear alive, now at Apprentice Sixth Order.

• Xu Yang questioned five spiders about the warship and cosmic knowledge, then confirmed that Spider One had told him the truth about the Hundred-Eyed Poison Spider Clan.
• Xu Yang killed Spider Five and the other six Living Things aboard the warship, gaining eleven units of resources and taking control of the spacecraft.
• Xu Yang returned to Navara Star’s surface and saw the devastation caused by the battle, reflecting on the mass deaths across the planet.
• Xu Yang followed the Brown Bear’s scent to a meadow north of the Lightning Strike Mountain Range and found it alive and newly advanced to Apprentice Sixth Order.

Xu Yang reunited with the Brown Bear after returning to the ruined Lightning Strike Mountain Range, then left to pursue his plan to escape the planet. Searching Dudley’s corpse, he found a registered Iron Wall Star Second Bank card and learned it could be exchanged through an Underground Bank for half its value.

• Xu Yang landed before the Brown Bear, which trembled until his familiar roar made it recognize him as its former boss.
• The Brown Bear kept its distance from Xu Yang that night, and he left the next day after deciding not to become too entangled with it.
• Xu Yang returned to Dudley’s corpse and cut it open, finding its insides corroded but its crop intact.
• Xu Yang recovered a registered Iron Wall Star Second Bank card, a star ring, and Dudley’s collected trophies from the crop.
• Xu Yang recalled that the Monster Race’s Underground Banks exchanged registered cards for cash at half their value.

Xu Yang examined Dudley’s wealth and information, chose Fengtan Star as his likely destination, and discovered the valuable seed of a Bone Shattering Rose. He then hunted Star Level demon beasts, killing a Stellar Level Six Albatross King as he worked toward breaking through to the Domain Lord Level.

• Xu Yang found that Dudley’s star ring held over 320 million Guardian Crystals and reviewed its stored information about the Chaos Region.
• Xu Yang studied the region’s map, ruled out Iron Wall Star, and considered Fengtan Star the safer destination.
• Xu Yang discovered that the Bone Shattering Rose seed Dudley had cultivated was worth 120 million Guardian Crystals and learned that it could grow again after the plant died.
• Xu Yang disposed of the corpses, left the wounded Illusion Sea Lamp Mother alone, and began searching for four more Star Level demon beasts.
• Xu Yang used his domain to immobilize and kill the Stellar Level Six Albatross King above the Northern Plains.

After hunting four Stellar Level beasts, Xu Yang gathered enough resources to break through to the Domain Lord Level, despite worrying that his domains and laws lagged behind his rapid cultivation. He advanced to Universe Level Nine, discovered Poisonous Insect Xima's venom had entered his bloodline, and decided to adapt in the Training Room before attempting another breakthrough.

• Xu Yang recoiled from the venomous wound in his claw after Poisonous Insect Xima's needle pierced his defenses, while noting he had gathered the resources required for the Domain Lord Level.
• Xu Yang dismissed his doubts about advancing without mastering laws or reaching the ninth domain level and chose to continue leveling up.
• As Xu Yang broke through, the system absorbed Xima's venom into his bloodline, creating dark green marks that coexisted with the golden traces without an immediate reaction.
• Xu Yang formed the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth black holes in succession, completing his Universe Level breakthrough.
• Xu Yang decided to use the Training Room to adjust to his new strength and postpone breaking through to the Domain Lord Level until the next day.

Xu Yang used the system’s resources to break through to Domain Lord, transforming into an enormous Ancient Ghost Poison Wolf and discovering that a world was forming inside him. He boarded the Hope battleship and set course for the Antarctic Ocean to kill the wounded Illusion Sea Lamp Mother before leaving Navara Star.

• Xu Yang used the system’s resources to begin his breakthrough, collapsing the vortex galaxy inside him into a singularity.
• Xu Yang’s body evolved into a Domain Lord, growing to 1.2 kilometers at the shoulder and gaining the ability to secrete lethal venom.
• Xu Yang realized the singularity inside him was gradually forming a world that could eventually lead to a World Master breakthrough.
• Xu Yang renamed the Hundred-Eyes battleship Hope and launched it into space.
• Xu Yang piloted Hope toward the South Pole to kill the recovering Illusion Sea Lamp Mother and then leave Navara Star.

Xu Yang consumed the Illusion Sea Lamp Mother, collected his wealth, and piloted the Hope into the Dark Universe. He set course for Fengtan Star and prepared for the short journey ahead.

• Xu Yang refused the Illusion Sea Lamp Mother's offer to serve him and ate part of its cap for resources.
• Xu Yang assessed his 25 million Greed Wind Crystals and estimated his total wealth at just over 2.6 billion Guardian Crystals.
• Xu Yang accelerated the Hope into the Dark Universe, enduring the ship's violent shaking as it crossed the light-speed threshold.
• The Hope activated its warning signal and traveled through the Dark Universe at 1.02 times the speed of light.
• Xu Yang calculated that Fengtan Star was about 9,000 light-years away and expected to arrive in just over eight hours.

Xu Yang arrived at Fengtan Star, marveling at the enormous artificial planet and recognizing its harsh environment and strategic importance. He landed at Zone B, paid to dock the Hope for ten years, and entered the Starport.

• Xu Yang emerged from the Dark Universe and piloted the Hope toward Fengtan Star.
• Xu Yang saw the vast star field and Fengtan Star, an artificial celestial body over a million kilometers in diameter.
• Xu Yang assessed the planet’s thin atmosphere and understood that its harsh conditions excluded weaker beings.
• Xu Yang landed the Hope in Zone B and met a centipede administrator who welcomed him.
• Xu Yang paid 100 Guardian Crystals to register ten years of docking and told the administrator to watch his ship.

Xu Yang explored Fengqiao City on Fengtan Star and went to a black market to access Dudley’s money. He entered through an invitation from Iron Wall Star and suspected the market was a chain operation backed by powerful figures.

• Xu Yang reached Fengqiao City, where monsters made way for his Domain Lord aura.
• Xu Yang visited Fengxing Pavilion, listened to a white fox maid’s sales pitch, and left without buying anything.
• Xu Yang decided to visit the black market because most of his money was stored aboard Hope.
• Xu Yang found No. 188 Qingping Street and presented the invitation from his star ring to the stone lions guarding the entrance.
• Xu Yang entered the black market and concluded that its invitation working across stars pointed to a chain operation with powerful backers.

Xu Yang explored Fengtan Star’s black market, searching for higher-quality wolf demon bloodline essence and learning how its concealed marketplace operated. He found a lecture on recent Chaos Region events and settled in to hear Hundred Spirits Bird Di Guang speak.

• Xu Yang descended into the black market, where its lighting and incense concealed the visitors’ identities.
• Xu Yang examined the stalls, found a Diamond Claw Wolf bloodline bead, and learned that better goods were likely in the central area.
• Xu Yang discovered that Hundred Spirits Bird Di Guang’s All Matters Lecture Hall shared news about the Chaos Region and took a free seat outside the plaza.
• Di Guang appeared and began the weekly lecture, greeting the crowd without revealing the lecture’s news yet.

Di Guang revealed that Fengqiao City's lord had died, leaving his three sons to fight over the estate as the city awaited a new ruler. Xu Yang avoided getting involved and went to Prosperous Bank to transfer his loot and apply for a new First Bank card.

• Di Guang announced that Fengqiao City's lord had died in battle three months earlier and that his three sons were fighting over the family estate.
• Xu Yang decided to avoid Fengqiao City's power struggle and focus on exchanging his Guardian Crystals and finding Universe Level targets to hunt.
• Di Guang revealed that Water Core Star, Blood Rage Star, and Thousand Army Star were rapidly recruiting for an impending major war, and Xu Yang ruled them out.
• After the gathering ended, Xu Yang went to Prosperous Bank to withdraw his money from the Underground Bank.
• Xu Yang transferred 321,250,100 in loot and asked the centipede teller to make him a new First Bank card.

After obtaining legal Monster Race identification, Xu Yang explored Fengtan Star’s black market and visited a warship shop to find a capable replacement for his aging spacecraft. He became interested in a B4-rank Star Hunter that balanced speed, offense, and defense.

• Xu Yang left Prosperous Bank with a bank card and a legal identity registered in Fengqiao City.
• Xu Yang noticed that disputes in the black market never escalated into fights and suspected rules kept demons from using violence there.
• Xu Yang entered Shouxin Warship Sales and asked its owner, Axin, about a silvery-white Star River Patroler.
• Axin explained that the Star River Patroler had no offensive capability, then showed Xu Yang the heavily armored Iron Wall Fortress.
• Xu Yang asked for a warship that combined speed with strong offense and defense, so Axin introduced the limited-edition Star Hunter.
• Xu Yang examined the Star Hunter and grew interested in its reinforced shields, modular weapons, and high-speed design.

Xu Yang transported his Greed Wind Crystals to Prosperous Bank, withdrew 2.66 billion Guardian Crystals, and negotiated to buy a limited-edition Star Hunter from Axin for 800 million. He returned to Shouxin Warship Sales to begin the purchase, while still considering how to obtain Universe Level resources.

• Xu Yang offered Axin 800 million Guardian Crystals for the Star Hunter, then left the shop after giving him his contact information.
• Xu Yang met a Beautiful Snake Demon and traveled with two Giant Strength Savage Beasts through Fengtan Star’s transport tunnels to the Starport.
• Xu Yang visited Prosperous Bank and raised his balance to 2.66 billion Guardian Crystals.
• Xu Yang considered the high cost and scarcity of Universe Level Blood Food, then received Axin’s call agreeing to sell the Star Hunter for 800 million.
• Xu Yang returned to Shouxin Warship Sales, where Axin prepared the payment and offered to take him to the warehouse after he paid half.

Xu Yang learned that the Seven Lights Society offered bounties and jobs, sold his damaged starship, and traveled to the society’s headquarters. There, he met Old Barto, who offered to show him around and recruit him into the unrelated Seven Spirits Society.

• Xu Yang asked Axin about a mercenary guild and learned that the Seven Lights Society offered jobs and accepted bounties.
