Chapter Summaries

Xu Kun learned that several human trial participants had earned SSS-tier ratings and arranged for them to meet Qian Manlou at the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. After inviting Mirage to join them, he discovered she had a permanent Haotian Pagoda pass and urged her to come, reminding her to get dressed first.

• Yang Yao, Sikong Ting, and Hao Jian earned SSS-tier ratings on the fourth floor and granted humanity three practical racial buffs.
• Mirage earned an SSS-tier rating on the sixth floor, while Zhan Rourou told Xu Kun she had run out of energy after finding three Key Shards.
• Xu Kun noticed Qian Manlou's hesitation when he counted Mirage as humanity's tenth SSS-tier talent and inferred that a hidden seventh Lord of the Era had been the traitor from three hundred years ago.
• Xu Kun invited Zhan Rourou, Yang Yao, Sikong Ting, and Hao Jian to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion so Qian Manlou could meet them.
• Mirage told Xu Kun she was exhausted and could not continue the trials, but found a permanent pass to floor zero and agreed to visit him.
• Xu Kun watched Mirage prepare to come and asked her to put on clothes first.

• Yang Yao ordered Zhan Rourou inside and threatened to destroy the Zhan Family if she would not leave Xu Kun.
• Yang Yao gripped Zhan Rourou by the neck and began presenting her with three choices, but the chapter ended before she stated the first.

Yang Yao tested Zhan Rourou’s devotion to Xu Kun by threatening her family and demanding she die, then accepted her as Xu Kun’s concubine after hearing her answer. The chapter ended when a staff member announced that a little girl had come to see the Kun God, and Yang Yao went to greet her.

• Yang Yao offered Zhan Rourou wealth and help for her grandfather if she left Xu Kun, then threatened to destroy the Zhan Family if Zhan Rourou chose to be with him.

• A Myriad Treasures Pavilion staff member announced that a little girl had come to see the Kun God, and Yang Yao went to meet her.

Xu Kun welcomed Mirage, who clung to him because she sensed the Kongtong Seal, and then met with Qian Manlou at Myriad Treasures Pavilion. After receiving materials and a damaged divine-artifact cloak from Zhan Rourou, Xu Kun began advancing his equipment.

• Mirage hid behind Xu Kun and revealed that she wanted to stay near him because she sensed the Kongtong Seal.
• Yang Yao coaxed Mirage into calling her big sister, while Mirage nearly exposed Zhan Rourou's past with Xu Kun.
• Qian Manlou welcomed the group and gave Xu Kun the materials he had requested.
• Zhan Rourou gave Xu Kun a damaged divine-artifact cloak, and Qian Manlou said he could not obtain the SSS-tier Gold Silk needed to repair it.
• Xu Kun took his equipment into the inner room and began advancing the Wind Breath Bracer with an S-tier Wind Attribute metal.

Xu Kun advanced several pieces of equipment to Tier 10 and examined the dangerous SSS-tier poison materials Qian Manlou had prepared. He used the materials to strengthen two rings, leaving their new effects unknown.

• Xu Kun advanced Rock Guardian and Fen Ji to Tier 10, greatly increasing their attributes and improving Rock Guardian's shield skill.
• Xu Kun advanced Icy Heart Grips, which gained a stronger Frost Covering skill but no change to Surging Undercurrent.
• Xu Kun used Dark Prison Iron Essence to advance Purgatory Wind Demon Boots, improving their attributes and Infernal Gale skill.
• Xu Kun inspected a Ghost Poison Scorpion Emperor Tail Needle and a Corpse Poison Rat Demon Core, recognizing their lethal toxicity.
• Xu Kun carefully fed the two poison materials to his rings, and both materials melted as the rings absorbed their poison-element power.

Xu Kun advanced Soul Chaser Affix and Soulstealer Infusion after feeding them rare SSS-tier poison materials, then asked Qian Manlou how he could obtain Gold Silk to repair the Wind God's Cloak. Qian Manlou explained that Gold Silk was essential to the Silk Tribes and their protection by the Phoenix Race, leaving Xu Kun with no realistic way to acquire it.

• Xu Kun advanced Soul Chaser Affix and Soulstealer Infusion to Level 10, Stage 0, improving their poison abilities and learning that each needed an S-tier poison-element boss core for its next advancement.
• Qian Manlou delivered the materials for Xu Kun's cloak and explained that the weak Silk Tribes had joined together as a Tier-B Race but struggled to secure protection from stronger races.
• Qian Manlou told Xu Kun that the Silk Tribes transformed from reptilian silkworms into moths after Level 30, leaving them caught between the Dragon Race and Phoenix Race camps.
• Qian Manlou explained that the Silk Tribes gave Gold Silk to the Phoenix Race in exchange for protection, even though producing it consumed rare S-tier talents and supported their own members' transformations.
• Qian Manlou told Xu Kun that repairing the Wind God's Cloak required ten strands of Gold Silk and suggested seeking help from the Phoenix Race or courting Yuan, but Xu Kun dismissed the teasing and gave up on the idea.

Xu Kun advanced the Wind God's Cloak and learned that its ancient owner, the third-generation Ai Eluosi, might have been connected to reborn gods from Zeus's era. After showing off his newly enhanced equipment and weapons, Xu Kun opened his status panel.

• Xu Kun fed ten S-tier wind-element cores to the Wind God's Cloak, awakening the remnant of the third-generation Ai Eluosi.
• The Wind God remnant asked whether the gods were dead, identified himself, and wondered if he sensed his grandfather or brother before fading away.
• Xu Kun found information linking Ai Eluosi to Zeus's era and speculated that ancient gods might have been reborn among the rulers of past eras.
• Xu Kun examined the advanced Wind God's Cloak, which retained powerful bonuses and could be repaired with ten strands of SSS-tier Gold Silk.
• Xu Kun dressed in his enhanced equipment, summoned a stone steed and the Azure Phoenix Firebird's Wind Fire Wheels, and stunned Qian Manlou and the others with his appearance.
• Xu Kun opened his new status panel.

Xu Kun reassessed his status after clearing the Blazing God's Tomb, allocating his enormous pool of basic attributes and discovering that his movement speed had hit the Haotian Pagoda's level-based cap. He recognized his enormous Fire Attribute attack as his greatest gain from the secret realm, while the chapter foreshadowed the Titan Race's methods for countering high-Agility opponents.

• Xu Kun converted his accumulated basic attributes into free points and allocated them mainly to Strength, Vitality, and Agility.
• Xu Kun reviewed his transformed status and found that his Magic Warrior Force, health, defenses, and other stats had risen dramatically since his last review.
• Xu Kun discovered that his movement speed had reached the cap of 5,000 meters per second, despite being far higher without the restriction.
• Xu Kun concluded that Agility remained valuable for hit rate, evasion, and attack speed, and noted that Tai Xin would struggle to hit him.
• Xu Kun identified his 840,000 Fire Attribute attack as his greatest gain from the Blazing God's Tomb, alongside its Essence of Attributes, divine flame, and other treasures.

Xu Kun gave Sikong Ting the Wind-Thunder Immortal Apricot and a matching divine artifact, then prepared to leave the Myriad Races Trading Ground to confront the danger outside. Yang Yao went with him, and they arrived at Xu Kun’s home after Qian Manlou passed along Uncle Yang’s advice to hide his strength.

• Xu Kun gave Sikong Ting the Wind-Thunder Immortal Apricot, which transformed him with the Wind-Thunder True Body, and then handed him the matching Wind-Thunder Golden Cudgel.
• Hao Jian accepted the Blazing God Set from Xu Kun and envied Sikong Ting’s treasure, while Xu Kun announced he was leaving the tower to deal with the threat against him.
• Xu Kun refused to let Hao Jian, Zhan Rourou, or Sikong Ting accompany him, and he promised Shen he would return to pick her up.
• Yang Yao insisted on joining Xu Kun, and he agreed; Qian Manlou then told him that Uncle Yang advised him to keep a low profile and hide his strength.
• Xu Kun and Yang Yao left the Myriad Races Trading Ground and appeared at Xu Kun’s home.

Xu Kun used Hao Jian's appearance to investigate the assassins surrounding his home, discovering that most were low-level cannon fodder drawn by a Dark Web bounty. With the Dragon Race still needing time to locate him, he began considering how to use the delay and ended the chapter by suggesting to Yang Yao that they “fire one off first.”

• Yang Yao warned Xu Kun that leaving her concealment formation could expose him, but he went outside disguised as Hao Jian to draw the ambushers' attention.
• The assassins watching the apartment recognized Hao Jian rather than Xu Kun, and their leader stopped his subordinates from trying to kidnap him.
• The chapter explained that a SSSS-tier Dark Web mission had offered an enormous reward for killing Kun, attracting traitors and fugitives to Jiangnan Base City.
• Xu Kun used Fiery Eyes of Truth to spot the hidden groups, then returned inside and assessed their strength as mostly weak cannon fodder.
• Xu Kun reasoned that the Black Tortoise Race might not immediately track him after his attack on Xuan Shiba, while the Dragon Race's tracking method had a delay.
• Xu Kun asked Yang Yao if they should fire one off first, leaving her blushing and flustered.

Xu Kun and Yang Yao used four Explosive Fireball Heavy Cannons to destroy the assassins’ ambush and burn down most of the apartment complex. As the surviving experts confronted him, Xu Kun instantly killed the Four War Kings of the Lu Family, leaving the other attackers to face him.

• Xu Kun revealed that he had several Explosive Fireball Heavy Cannons, and he and Yang Yao cleared their home and aimed four cannons at the assassins hiding in the surrounding buildings.
• Xu Kun fired all four cannons, blasting apart three apartment blocks and engulfing the area in flames that killed many assassins while Yang Yao endured the fire with a bottle of Nutri-Express.
• After the detonations subsided, Xu Kun walked out to confront the surviving experts, who had rescued some of their injured underlings with their domains.
• The Four War Kings of the Lu Family charged Xu Kun while other War Kings waited to see the outcome and War Generals rushed in from the ruins.
• Xu Kun vanished as the four brothers struck, then cut all four down with a single swift attack, emptying their health bars.

Xu Kun slaughtered the Generals and War Kings attacking him, with Yang Yao supporting him by clearing his debuffs. The remaining enemies hesitated after he crushed their siege, but one threatened to target Yang Yao instead.

• Xu Kun killed Lu Renjia and the other three Lu family brothers, then used a series of area attacks to wipe out the advancing Generals.

• A War King threatened to attack Yang Yao when the others hesitated to continue fighting Xu Kun.

Xu Kun and Yang Yao wiped out the assassins targeting them, but their victory was interrupted by the arrival of the Heavenly King-level Celestial Fiend Shadow and Sichuanese Old Earth God. As Xu Kun faced the two enemies, South Sea Crocodile intervened, and another powerful figure revealed himself as Old Zhan.

• Xu Kun killed the Golden Body War King and slaughtered the other War Kings while Yang Yao froze and defeated the War King pursuing her with her Nine-Style Six Yang Palm.
• After the pair eliminated the remaining assassins, Yang Yao was struck by Cattle Hair Poison Needles, while Celestial Fiend Shadow trapped Xu Kun in darkness and restrained him.
• Celestial Fiend Shadow revealed that Sichuanese Old Earth God was also targeting Xu Kun and Yang Yao, but South Sea Crocodile severed the shadow restraining Xu Kun and confronted Celestial Fiend Shadow.
• South Sea Crocodile attacked Xu Kun with giant shears, but Xu Kun dodged and recognized him as the man whose group he had hit with his cannon.
• As Xu Kun prepared to fight the two Heavenly Kings, Old Zhan arrived in the form of a golden dragon, and South Sea Crocodile recognized him.

• Xu Kun unleashed a barrage of attacks, and Hands of Frozen Ice executed Celestial Fiend Shadow; Shadowflow vowed revenge.

Xu Kun defeated Celestial Fiend Shadow and reached Yang Yao, but Sangtugong’s Excavated Relic skill made him immune to alternating damage types and left the pair locked in a stalemate. As Xu Kun carried Yang Yao toward Zhan Yuye’s battlefield, the Dragon Sovereign ordered the waiting forces to begin their operation against him.

• Xu Kun killed Celestial Fiend Shadow and found Yang Yao trapped behind a fading barrier while Sangtugong taunted her from underground.
• Xu Kun pulled Sangtugong from the ground and attacked, but discovered his strikes could not hurt the poison-corpse master, who escaped underground and sent his corpses after him.
• Yang Yao explained that Sangtugong’s Excavated Relic skill granted immunity to paired damage types and could remain active as long as corpses fueled it.
• Sangtugong attacked Xu Kun and Yang Yao with poison needles and his Azure Phosphorous Poison Domain, while Yang Yao used pills to restore their health.
• Xu Kun refused to use Yang Yao’s talisman, carried her toward Zhan Yuye’s battle, and said the people truly plotting against him should soon make their move.
• The Dragon Sovereign learned that fighting had already begun, cursed the delayed monitoring device, and ordered Fox Lord and the others to act.

A Five Elements Ghost Formation engulfed Tongcheng District as the authorities evacuated civilians and Lin Ye fought the traitorous Hundred Losses Taoist and his disciples. The formation turned the battle against Lin Ye, who was trapped in the Profound Darkness Three Talents Sealing Formation while Kun remained in danger.

• Xu Kun sensed five pillars rise and recognized that a Five Elements killing formation was suppressing the Azure Phosphorous Poison Domain.
• Lin Ye’s disguised Beast Taming Troupe revealed itself as a unit from the Crimson Flame Beast Legion, and Linghua used her Overturning Begonia Flower to protect the audience while the other members evacuated civilians.
• Lin Ye and the Blazing Suanni confronted Hundred Losses Taoist and the Profound Darkness Duo, who tried to stop him from reaching Kun.
• Hundred Losses Taoist drew power from the Five Elements Ghost Formation, allowing the three enemies to wound Lin Ye and overpower the Blazing Suanni.
• Lin Ye merged with the Blazing Suanni and badly injured all three opponents, but the Profound Darkness Trio Sealing Formation trapped him and immobilized them as well.

Xu Kun gathered Sangtugong, Zhan Yuye, Yue Lao Ba, and Yang Yao as the Five Elements Ghost Formation closed around them and twelve Heavenly King-level enemies arrived. He charged the attackers and killed three Wood Attribute experts with one slash, which also briefly split the formation.

• Yang Yao froze Sangtugong, and Xu Kun persuaded him to cooperate and dispel his poisonous domain.
• Sangtugong mediated between Zhan Yuye and Yue Lao Ba, who stopped fighting when they saw the Five Elements Ghost Formation overhead.

• Xu Kun unleashed Blazing God's Unrivaled Slash, burned three Wood Attribute Heavenly King-level experts to nothing, and cut a breach in the formation.

Zhan Yuye and Yue Lao Ba fought three earth-element enemies to buy Xu Kun time. After Yue Lao Ba was badly injured, Zhan Yuye trapped the trio in his mountain domain, killed two of them with desperate techniques, and launched a final attack against the last survivor.

• Zhan Yuye used fog to intercept three enemies with Yue Lao Ba, then destroyed the Earth Walls trapping Yue Lao Ba.
• Yue Lao Ba unleashed Raging Sea and Surging Waves, badly wounding all three men, but they recovered and struck him down with a combined punch.
• Zhan Yuye trapped the three men inside a mountain domain and battered them with a succession of I Ching techniques.

• The eldest brother attacked Zhan Yuye with Earth Sinks and Earthrock Incarnation, but Zhan Yuye shattered his mountain domain and charged with enormous stone blades.

Zhan Yuye fought three Heavenly King-level earth experts to protect Xu Kun, killing all three before collapsing from his wounds. Xu Kun then endured an ambush, killed two more Heavenly King experts, and charged toward another target in a bloodthirsty rage.

• Zhan Yuye used Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms to kill two of the three earth-element experts, then shattered his domain to face the last one head-on.
• Zhan Rourou asked Zhan Yuye to save Xu Kun, and he agreed after she revealed that she belonged to Xu Kun.
• Zhan Yuye killed the final earth-element expert with Dragon God Swings Its Tail, then fell after declaring that he protected humanity's prodigy, Kun.

• Xu Kun used Flame Chain Slash to burn another Heavenly King-level expert, then charged toward another target in a bloodthirsty rage.

Xu Kun fought the remaining traitors from the Five Elements Ghost Formation, turning their strongest attacks back on them and using divine flames to overcome their defenses. After the Fire Fist Brothers detonated their domains and sacrificed themselves, Xu Kun survived through Moon Glow Transformation, though the milky-white bracelet that enabled it cracked.

• Xu Kun killed several Fire and Metal Attribute Heavenly King-level traitors while enduring their attacks, then faced the surviving fighters behind a defensive domain.
• The Fire Fist Brothers and a Metal Attribute powerhouse unleashed their ultimate attacks, but Xu Kun redirected the golden blade, dispersed the merged fire fist, and burned one brother with Six Ding Divine Fire.

• Yang Yao tried to reach Xu Kun, but he told her to stay back and emerged from the blast under a milky-white halo as his bracelet cracked and Moon Glow Transformation activated.
