Chapter Summaries

Shi Yan learned that the World Kings were preparing to leave Chaotic Star City for the Dust Thunder Region, creating an opportunity for him to act once he was stronger and better prepared. Liya visited him, gave him two billion Spirit Coins and an Elite Competition ticket, and received a speed-enhancing refinement method in return.

• Shi Yan learned that World Kings planned to enter the Dust Thunder Region, while Xin Na said her scattered parts would remain safe in the Core Zone for at least thirty years.
• Shi Yan returned to his courtyard and found Liya waiting with her servants and a crowd of spectators.
• Liya gave Shi Yan a black card containing two billion Spirit Coins and urged him to join the Elite Competition and seek protection through the Virtual God Tower.
• Liya gave Shi Yan an admission ticket, explaining that she could not compete because she was preparing to flee her pursuers.
• Shi Yan had Xin Na find a Wind Cicada refinement method that could increase Liya's speed by thirty percent, then gave it to her on a memory crystal.
• Liya read the crystal and froze in surprise.

Liya accepted Shi Yan’s Memory Crystal, kissed him, and left him a ring containing a fortune worth over a trillion Spirit Coins. Shi Yan and Xin Na began using the wealth to prepare for his growth, while Liya promised to return after handling her affairs.

• Liya was moved by Shi Yan’s Memory Crystal, which could help her become a World King, and accepted it after confirming it was truly a gift.
• Xin Na revealed that she had secretly befriended Shi Yan’s companions and given Li Yuqing part of the Mechanical Race inheritance, and Shi Yan accepted her actions.
• Liya kissed Shi Yan, exchanged blood with him on a ring, and promised to find him after handling her affairs before disappearing.
• Shi Yan discovered that Liya had left him a Glazed Ring filled with Spirit Crystals, rare materials, and other valuables worth more than a trillion Spirit Coins.
• Xin Na advised Shi Yan on how to spend the fortune, and he insisted that she also receive materials to strengthen herself.
• Wu Mo went shopping while Shi Yan and Xin Na repaired Non-Aggression and forged a new blade; three months passed.

Shi Yan left Chaotic Star City with Yu Juexian, Wu Mo, and Xin Na after the World Kings departed, then traveled to Demon Cloud Star to claim a mineral planet he had bought. When he spotted Golden Arrow and Wu Dao guarding the mines, he used Xin Na’s faster spaceship to draw them away from the planet.

• The World Kings departed Chaotic Star City, and Shi Yan prepared to leave with Wu Mo, Yu Juexian, and Xin Na aboard Xin Na’s upgraded spaceship.
• Shi Yan asked Xin Na to scan for Liya, but she found no sign of her before they escaped into space.
• Three days later, Xin Na identified 300,000 Mine Slaves and a Cloud Tungsten Ore mine on Demon Cloud Star, guarded by Golden Arrow and Wu Dao.
• Shi Yan ordered Xin Na to flee rather than fight Golden Arrow and Wu Dao, who pursued them but could not catch the faster spaceship.
• Shi Yan turned the spaceship toward Demon Cloud Star at greatly increased speed, and Golden Arrow and Wu Dao realized he had lured them away from the planet.

Shi Yan hid Xin Na and Yu Juexian beneath Demon Cloud Star while Xin Na began absorbing the Cloud Tungsten Ore, then upgraded his Origin True Fire of Life into Nine Heavens Profound Fire and prepared to confront Golden Arrow and Wu Dao. The two World Masters arrived in space and cautiously faced Shi Yan as he stood ready with his new armor and weapons.

• Shi Yan led the spacecraft back to Demon Cloud Star, where Xin Na used Earth Profound Magnetic Light to bring it safely underground and began absorbing the Cloud Tungsten Ore while Wu Mo drove away the Mine Slaves.
• Shi Yan went to the surface and spent 100,000,000 Martial Virtue Points to upgrade his Origin True Fire of Life into Nine Heavens Profound Fire, gaining the power to command life and death and strengthening his body.
• Shi Yan decided to pause further upgrades so he could absorb his new insights, then equipped himself with the Sky Gold Armor and brought out the repaired imitation Non-Aggression.
• Golden Arrow and Wu Dao arrived in space, and Golden Arrow shot two arrows that pierced Shi Yan's palms before Southern Bright Blazing Fire burned them away and his wounds healed.
• Golden Arrow identified Shi Yan as Zhang Yun, the King of a Hundred Victories, while he and Wu Dao took positions on either side of him and cautiously prepared for battle.

Shi Yan survived his three-fire explosion, killed Golden Arrow with a repaired Non-Aggression, and freed the Mine Slaves at the Cloud Tungsten Main Mine. He then left with Wu Mo and Xin Na as the mine collapsed.

• Shi Yan fused three divine fires into an explosion that destroyed Wu Dao and badly wounded Golden Arrow.
• Golden Arrow returned toward Demon Cloud Star, where Shi Yan appeared beside him and struck him through the heart with the repaired Non-Aggression.
• Golden Arrow died after learning Shi Yan had repaired the weapon, and Shi Yan collected his Storage Ring and corpse.
• Shi Yan showed the Mine Slaves Golden Arrow's corpse and told them they were free, earning Martial Virtue Points from their response.
• Xin Na reported that she was done, and Shi Yan left with her and Wu Mo as the mine vein collapsed.

Shi Yan and his companions entered the Blue Haze Zone to find Metal Attribute planets and strengthen Little Gold before facing the Extreme King Realm hunter. Little Gold swallowed a planet and advanced to the World Origin level, while an unseen observer watched them from deep within the zone.

• Xin Na analyzed the pursuer who had chased them and concluded he was a King Realm Interstellar Hunter, possibly an Extreme King Realm expert waiting for Shi Yan in the Dust Thunder Region.
• Shi Yan studied basic sword techniques during the month-long trip to the edge of the Chaotic Sea, where Wu Mo explained the dangers of the Blue Haze Zone.
• Shi Yan tested his flames against the poisonous haze and found that the Life Extinguishing Tribulation Fire, Southern Bright Blazing Fire, and Nine Heavens Profound Fire could repel it.
• Xin Na found one Metal Attribute planet, and Yu Juexian's intuition led them to discover ten more nearby.
• Shi Yan took Little Gold to a Metal Attribute planet, where Little Gold swallowed it whole and advanced to the World Origin level.
• Shi Yan set off with Little Gold to devour the remaining planets, unaware that a pair of blue eyes watched them from within the Blue Haze Zone.

Shi Yan advanced Little Gold to the Star-Transforming Stage before Saint Lan Zhu appeared and brought him to a blue pool. Lan Zhu, a dying Ninth Order Saint of the Primitive Human Race, entrusted Shi Yan with a ring and two tasks, then died as the Blue Haze Zone cleared; Shi Yan left with Xin Na.

• Shi Yan spent 90 million Martial Virtue Points to advance Little Gold to the Star-Transforming Stage, increasing its power and feeding energy back to him.
• Saint Lan Zhu took control of Wu Mo and transported Shi Yan alone to a valley within the blue haze.
• Lan Zhu revealed that he was a Ninth Order Saint nearing death after failing his tenth tribulation and asked Shi Yan to deliver a warning about the Myriad Star Alliance to Holy Lord Qian Qing.
• Shi Yan agreed to join the Virtual God Tower and eventually avenge Lan Zhu, whose ring would unlock after the first task; he also agreed to look after Lan Zhu's people.
• Lan Zhu died, and the blue pool, valley, and haze throughout the Blue Haze Zone dissipated.
• Xin Na reached Shi Yan, and they left the exposed zone aboard their spacecraft with Lan Zhu's skeleton.

Shi Yan learned that the Mist Soul Tribe was pursuing him and Wu Mo, so he upgraded the Heavenly Tomb Saint Flame into the Divine Nether Ghost Fire and advanced to the Early Stage Lord Realm using Spirit Crystals. The Mist Soul Tribe’s force arrived as Shi Yan flew out to confront it.

• A Mist Soul Tribe force tracked Wu Mo to the valley and confirmed he had recently passed through.
• Shi Yan reviewed Saint Lan Zhu’s Storage Ring and dismissed Xin Na’s concern that investigating the Azure Scale remnants would put him in danger.
• Wu Mo sensed that the Mist Soul Tribe was refining his descendants to locate him, but Shi Yan slowed the ship and waited for the pursuers.
• Xin Na detected forty-one pursuing spaceships carrying eleven Lord Realm warriors, forty Boundary Origin Warriors, and hundreds of Ninth Order fighters.
• Shi Yan used Martial Virtue Points to upgrade the Heavenly Tomb Saint Flame into the Divine Nether Ghost Fire, then advanced the Nine Ashes Return to Void Art and reached the Early Stage Lord Realm.
• As the pursuing force approached the planet, Shi Yan flew into the sky to confront it.

Shi Yan confronted the Mist Soul Tribe forces pursuing Wu Mo and used his perfected fire techniques to wipe out most of them. Night Fiend survived with his Night Soul and overwhelmed Shi Yan in close combat, but Shi Yan retaliated with a Southern Bright Blazing Fire punch.

• Shi Yan faced the spacecraft sent after Wu Mo and killed an Origin Realm Mist Soul Tribe member with Nine Heavens Profound Fire.
• Shi Yan revealed himself as Zhang Yun and challenged the force, then used Palm Flame Realm and Nether Ghost Fire to destroy Night Fiend’s main soul, two Mist Soul Tribe World Masters, and many others.
• Night Fiend survived with his Night Soul and struck Shi Yan, whose golden-leaf defense and Little Gold helped him recover.
• Shi Yan recognized Night Fiend’s Night Soul and fought him with Southern Bright Blazing Fire, but Night Fiend’s technique left Shi Yan badly beaten.
• Night Fiend’s hands burned from contact with Southern Bright Blazing Fire, and Shi Yan launched a Demon Abyss Instant Burst Fist infused with the fire.

After killing Night Fiend, Shi Yan confronted the limits of his combat skill and decided to train through the Virtual God Tower. Anticipating more enemies, he upgraded his body refinement to the Saint-Class Immeasurable Demon Ape Body and advanced to the Mid Eleventh Realm.

• Shi Yan killed Night Fiend with his ultimate move, then asked Wu Mo to collect the battlefield spoils.
• Xin Na told Shi Yan that Night Fiend was only a capable fighter and recommended the Virtual God Tower’s competitions and training simulations.
• Shi Yan fused his body refinement methods into the Spirit-Class Raging Fire Diamond Technique, then upgraded it to the Saint-Class Immeasurable Demon Ape Body.
• Shi Yan spent Martial Virtue Points and Spirit Crystals to raise the Immeasurable Demon Ape Body to its fourth layer, reaching the Mid Eleventh Realm.
• Shi Yan faced the direction of the approaching threats and challenged anyone who coveted his possessions to come.

Shi Yan strengthened his body, then traveled with Xin Na to Sky Water Star to investigate the disappearance of the Forty-Nine Clans' World Masters. Xin Na discovered a Rootless Yang Fire at the planet's core and found that the World Masters had been pulled away at a spatial node, while a little girl offered to locate them.

• Shi Yan completed a four-level Body Refinement breakthrough, gained more than twenty thousand Chen of energy, and disguised himself as Zhang Yun.
• Shi Yan let Wu Mo keep the spoils for Qi Ziyue and the others, then ordered Xin Na to search for the Forty-Nine Clans' World Masters.
• After two months of travel, Shi Yan and Xin Na reached Sky Water Star, where Xin Na scanned the planet and discovered special cooling water and a Rootless Yang Fire at its core.
• Xin Na warned Shi Yan that taking the Rootless Yang Fire would collapse the planet, so he agreed to wait until they found the World Masters.
• After a month of investigation, Xin Na concluded that the World Masters had been pulled away at a spatial node, and a little girl said she could find them.

Yu Juexian revealed herself as Po and used the Rootless Yang Fire to take Shi Yan back to the Forty-Nine Clans’ invasion of Sky Water Star. After reuniting with her earlier self, she sent Shi Yan to fight the forty-nine World Masters while she recovered.

• Yu Juexian matured into her adult form, reclaimed her ancient ring, and used a Flying Dagger to activate the Rootless Yang Fire, taking Shi Yan into the past.
• Xin Na realized Yu Juexian had used time rather than space to travel back to the invasion, and she told Wu Mo where they had gone.
• Shi Yan arrived above blood-soaked Sky Water Star and saw Po emerge from the sea after battling the forty-nine World Masters.
• Po used her last intact Flying Dagger to send herself into the past, where she appeared beside Shi Yan and Yu Juexian.
• Yu Juexian collapsed from exhaustion, and Shi Yan gave her Nine Heavens Profound Fire before flying down to fight the forty-nine World Masters.

Shi Yan killed the forty-nine World Masters attacking him and saved Yu Juexian from falling, but he could not stop her life force from fading. Yu Juexian vanished after revealing that time itself was destroying her, leaving Shi Yan with a wooden carving and the name she preferred.

• Shi Yan used the Reverse Dragon Seven Steps and Ancestral Dragon True Fire to kill two World Masters who were trying to attack Yu Juexian.
• Shi Yan killed another World Master, then destroyed forty more with a Nether Ghost Fire lotus and the remaining six with his fused Heavenly Domains and Blazing Flame Divine Needles.
• Shi Yan saw Yu Juexian fall and caught her, but Nine Heavens Profound Fire could not halt her fading life force.
• Yu Juexian told Shi Yan that the power of time was beyond his flames, said he would shine in the River of Time, and revealed that she preferred the name Yu Juexian.
• Yu Juexian vanished into specks of light, leaving a wooden carving in Shi Yan's hand.

A mysterious old woman retrieved Yu Juexian from the ancient ring and vanished with her, leaving Shi Yan unable to save her. Shi Yan swore revenge on the Forty-Nine Clans, absorbed the Rootless Yang Fire, and Xin Na sensed an Azure Scale Tribe World King arriving on Sky Water Star.

• The old woman seized the ancient ring, then revealed Yu Juexian inside it and took her away after discovering that Shi Yan's wooden carving now bore his face.
• Shi Yan failed to stop Yu Juexian's disappearance, saw seven-colored light enter the wooden carving, and vowed revenge on the Forty-Nine Clans.
• Shi Yan collected the corpses and storage equipment, returned to the earth's core, and drew the Rootless Yang Fire wrapped in seven-colored light toward himself.
• On Sky Water Star, Xin Na sensed a powerful approaching aura and identified the arrival as an Azure Scale Tribe World King.

Qing He and the Azure Scale Tribe cornered Xin Na on Sky Water Star and tried to force her into an alliance and marriage. Shi Yan appeared to protect her, but Qing He's exploding spear triggered a Time Turbulence that sucked Shi Yan inside.

• Qing He arrived with more than a dozen World Masters, including the Eight-Eyed Tribe World Master, and covered Sky Water Star with an azure barrier.
• Xin Na sent Wu Mo and Little Gold into the spacecraft, then rejected Qing He's offer to ally with the Azure Scale Tribe and marry him.
• Xin Na insulted Qing He and the Azure Scale Tribe, prompting him to attack her with his spear.
• Qing He trapped the surrounding space and struck at Xin Na, but a dark-blue lotus appeared and forced him to sacrifice his spear to escape.
• The explosion twisted Shi Yan's seven-colored temporal radiance into a Time Turbulence vortex, which swallowed him as Xin Na cried out.

Shi Yan and Xin Na were trapped in Time Turbulence, but Yu Juexian’s wooden carving protected them from its worst effects. Shi Yan began earning Martial Virtue Points by fighting Wu Mo, while Liya broke through to the World King Realm and rushed to find Shi Yan.

• Xin Na followed Shi Yan into the Time Turbulence, and Qing He learned from Eight-Eyed Lord Realm that he might find Shi Yan’s relatives and use them to locate an anchor.
• Xin Na explained that reaching the True Soul Stage could give her access to a way out, but the wooden carving Yu Juexian left behind stabilized the area and shielded them from the turbulence.
• Shi Yan told Xin Na that he had failed to save Yu Juexian, then decided to use their safety to improve his strength and inspect their spoils.
• Shi Yan removed Wu Mo’s Heavenly Slave Mark so he could fight him and earn Martial Virtue Points, beginning repeated sparring sessions to reach the amount Xin Na needed for the True Soul Stage.
• Liya reached the World King Realm, sensed through her Glazed Ring that Shi Yan was in danger, and flew toward him through the Time Turbulence.

Liya searched the Time Turbulence for Zhang Yun while Shi Yan’s group traveled through it and suffered a devastating collision. After strengthening his body, Shi Yan discovered Rootless Yang Fire’s manifestation calmed the turbulence and tried to test whether his Heavenly Domain could do the same.

• Liya arrived on Sky Water Star, found no sign of Zhang Yun, and continued following the Glazed Ring’s guidance through the Time Turbulence.
• Shi Yan continued beating and healing Wu Mo until Xin Na warned that an impact was imminent.
• A huge rock smashed apart half the spacecraft, and Shi Yan used Little Gold’s leaves to protect Xin Na and the remaining vessel.
• Shi Yan changed plans and used 800,000 Martial Virtue Points to advance Ninefold Collapse while absorbing Rootless Yang Fire.
• Rootless Yang Fire’s manifestation calmed the Time Turbulence, so Shi Yan unleashed his Heavenly Domain to see whether it could have the same effect.

Shi Yan used his Peak Eleventh Realm Domain to search the Time Turbulence for danger and treasure, then strengthened his body to the Peak Eleventh Realm while farming Martial Virtue Points with Wu Mo. After three months of searching and surviving repeated spacecraft crises, they halted when they spotted people.

• Shi Yan discovered that his sun-and-moon manifestation could suppress the Time Turbulence across a radius of a hundred thousand li, giving him a way to detect danger and search for treasures.
• Shi Yan upgraded his Rootless Yang Fire to the Yang Spring Sacred Flame and raised his Immeasurable Demon Ape Body to the Sixth Layer, reaching the Peak Eleventh Realm in Body Refinement.
• Shi Yan switched back to Xin Na's large disc-shaped spacecraft and resumed sparring with Wu Mo while searching the surrounding Time Turbulence for treasures.
• Shi Yan's enhanced body let him endure two near-destruction crises as Xin Na piloted the spacecraft and he searched for treasure and earned Martial Virtue Points.
• Three months later, the spacecraft stopped when Shi Yan, Xin Na, and Wu Mo saw people in the Time Turbulence.

Shi Yan and his companions explored the River of Time, where they discovered an indestructible Green Stone that absorbed his Ancestral Dragon True Fire and Southern Bright Blazing Fire. On Blue Star, Qi Ziyue’s hair turned white when Shi Yan missed his promised return, and she headed to Sky Demon Pavilion headquarters to prepare for a major decision.

• Shi Yan saw a Saint Lord swordsman perish fighting the Insect Race and settled his group on a land fragment so Little Gold could train with the remaining Sword Intent.
• As they wandered the River of Time, Xin Na and Little Gold grew stronger, and Wu Mo advanced from the Early-Origin Realm to the Mid-Origin Realm.
• Shi Yan witnessed a Black Dragon and a Fire Phoenix battle across a starfield before their struggle left behind a Green Stone that resisted all attempts to damage it.
• Shi Yan discovered that the Green Stone absorbed his Ancestral Dragon True Fire and Southern Bright Blazing Fire, then released pressure that made the Time Turbulence stagnate.
• When Shi Yan failed to return by the promised wedding date, Qi Ziyue’s hair turned white and Killing Intent spread through the Qi Family estate.
• Qi Ziyue went to Sky Demon Pavilion headquarters, took Shi Yan’s vacant seat, and ordered Qi Zhan and Bai Yuyao to summon Lu Xingzhou and notify the others.

With Shi Yan still missing, Qi Ziyue and the others prepared Blue Star for a new crisis, bringing nations under Sky Demon Pavilion’s control and building a vast lunar cannon. After the cannon’s energy ring spread across the Solar System, Li Yuqing and Mu Yuqing departed into the starry sky.

• Li Yuqing’s Little Na diagnosed Qi Ziyue’s white hair as a risky esper mutation, and Meng Xuan used her source fire to protect Qi Ziyue’s ability.
• Lu Xingzhou led Sky Demon Pavilion in bringing nations under its Blue Star Guardian Plan, while Qi Ziyue announced that the world had to unite against an approaching crisis.
• Sky Demon Pavilion requisitioned the Noah’s Ark spaceship for lunar mining, and Alloy Emperor Ed joined the effort after deciding to trust its warning.
• Mu Yuqing, Tu Mu, Zhang Yunya, and Li Yuqing successively reached the Origin Realm as Sky Demon Pavilion completed the Moon’s Magnetic Ring Guardian Cannon.
• Li Yuqing and Mu Yuqing fired the cannon, sending a white ring across the Solar System, then boarded a spacecraft and flew into the depths of the starry sky.
