Chapter Summaries

You slaughtered the kobolds and Half-Dragons at the cave entrance, then joined the Witch and Sorcerer in fighting through the cavern. In a chamber where hundreds of kobolds were guarded by Half-Dragons, the Sorcerer rampaged while you used Force Qi to help him, until a roar sounded from deeper in the cave.

• You killed two Half-Dragons in seconds and left dozens of kobolds dead or injured.
• The Witch and Sorcerer arrived, and you explained that your wisdom had told you force would be enough.
• You, the Witch, and the Sorcerer fought through the branching cavern, where the Witch described its history and the kobolds’ recent changes.
• You and the Witch found more than three hundred kobolds guarded by six Half-Dragons and suspected a Dragon Blood Secret Treasure or a Sorcerer’s experiments.
• The Sorcerer transformed into a giant gorilla and attacked the Half-Dragons while you used Force Qi to protect him.
• A roar came from the depths of the cave.

You faced a powerful Sub-Dragon in the underground cavern and used your Force Qi and ability to predict its actions to blind and outmaneuver it. The Sub-Dragon was still fighting, while the Witch, the warlock, and distant overlords watched in disbelief.

• You sent the Three-Faced Vajra out of the battlefield and revealed that your strength rivaled Early Innate.
• A crimson Sub-Dragon emerged from the cavern depths and identified you as its opponent.
• You struck the Sub-Dragon's claw aside and blinded it by destroying both eyes with Force Qi.
• You dodged the blind Sub-Dragon's attacks and repeatedly ambushed it without letting it injure you.
• The Witch, the warlock, and several distant overlords watched as you toyed with the Sub-Dragon.

You defeated the Sub-Dragon by exploiting its sluggish reactions and driving Force Qi into its brain, then entered an underground bloodline laboratory with the Witch and the Three-Faced Vajra Sorcerer. The Witch found a journal and began investigating who had built the small laboratory.

• You kept your palm against the Sub-Dragon's head long enough for Force Qi to penetrate its defenses and destroy its brain.
• You reflected that combining Internal Force and other systems could help against powerful, thick-skinned enemies that lacked Origin Energy or Force Qi.
• The watching Overlords and Supremes praised your victory, while one Supreme declared that even he would have been slain by you.
• You used Future Prediction to confirm there was no danger, then entered the depths of the cave with the Witch and the Three-Faced Vajra Sorcerer.
• The Witch recognized the underground facility as a bloodline laboratory and noted that its small scale suggested a low-realm sorcerer had built it.
• The Witch found a journal and a strangely shaped writing tool.

You sold the Sub-Dragon sorcerer’s remains and earned 3,100 grains of Essence Gold after rescuing villagers near Lanbo City. You then began Forge Bone, learning how aptitude determined bone grades and how the Extreme Martial System could eventually produce a Martial Body.

• The Witch explained that the Sub-Dragon sorcerer had transformed himself to reach the Second Realm and used kobolds and Half-Dragons to abduct villagers for experiments.
• You sold the sorcerer’s property and corpse, earned 3,100 grains of Essence Gold, and gained a reputation in Lanbo City.
• Sir Dia thanked you and tried to win you over, while you reflected that the sorcerer could have bought human slaves in the city’s supernatural market instead of raiding settlements.
• You began the Forge Bone stage by drinking bone broth and performing seven sets of exercises each day.
• You recalled that Iron Bone, Steel Bone, Jade Bone, and Golden Bone depended on aptitude, and learned that perfection in the Third Realm could give rise to a Martial Body.

You completed bone cultivation and reached the peak of the Nine-Colored Glazed Bone cycle, though you remained in the late Innate realm and began the lengthy Membrane Pumping stage. A Food Disaster of Kala Colossal Beasts emerged in the Great Gumir Forest and advanced toward Lanbo City, where humanity’s stronger stance meant it could intervene directly.

• You cultivated your bones through successive stages until they cycled from black back to ordinary-looking white, and assessed yourself as late Innate.
• You concluded that completing Membrane Pumping would take four or five months and might bring your strength up to the level of the Sub-Dragon you had fought.
• A Food Disaster erupted in the Great Gumir Forest, where Kala Colossal Beasts devoured organic matter, multiplied rapidly, and advanced toward Lanbo City.
• You recalled how past powers had allowed disasters to continue to avoid political consequences, then noted that humanity in the Azure Domain now directly intervened when local forces could not handle a threat.

As thousands of Kala Colossal Beasts devoured the Great Gumir Forest and threatened Lanbo City, Yun Shou decided to stop the Food Disaster despite the local lords’ reluctance to pay for help. He joined a band of Transcendents preparing to fight, determined to prevent anyone from dying in the campaign.

• Yun Shou learned that the growing Kala Colossal Beast horde could reach Lanbo City and nearby territories, with its largest beasts potentially becoming stronger than Grandmasters.
• Transcendents fled Lanbo City while several acquaintances urged Yun Shou to leave; he refused and flew out to inspect the advancing horde.
• Yun Shou found a group of Transcendents gathering to confront the beasts, including Leola, and they welcomed his help.
• The group discussed the Food Disaster and offered Yun Shou discounts and wholesale prices in hopes of securing his aid.
• Yun Shou joined the campaign and resolved to prevent deaths, while noting that most of the more than three thousand beasts were small enough for ordinary people to kill.

Fifty-five superhumans set out to confront the Kala Colossal Beasts, with the First Realm fighters leading the charge and a supporting wizard helping them travel faster. After a day on the road, they reached the edge of the advancing Food Disaster and spotted the dense, crimson beast horde ahead.

• The group planned to cull the weak Kala Colossal Beasts to limit the maximum size of the survivors.
• Fifty-five fighters departed, with seventeen First Realm cultivators, including you, forming the first wave.
• An Intermediate Wizard used a Light Body Spell to help the group travel, and you tested how the spell affected your heavy body.
• After a day of travel and rest, the group heard the advancing beasts uprooting and devouring the forest.
• A Junior Wizard reported that the foremost beasts were thirty li away, and you leaped above the forest to see more than a thousand Kala Colossal Beasts advancing.

You charged into the Kala Colossal Beast Food Disaster and slaughtered colossal beasts of every size, including ones over thirty meters tall. As the sixteen First Realm Transcendents approached the front line, they watched you tear through the fledgling disaster almost alone.

• You warned the others not to venture too deep and to watch for Kala Colossal Beasts over ten meters tall, then charged ahead.
• You struck a thirty-three-meter Kala Colossal Beast, knocked it down, and killed it with a Force Qi-assisted kick that opened a huge gash in its body.
• You raced through the Food Disaster, killing smaller beasts with punches, kicks, stomps, and streams of Force Qi.
• You killed the miniature Kala Colossal Beasts that could raise the species' growth limit.
• The sixteen First Realm Transcendents reached the front line and stood dumbfounded as you felled the beasts around you.

You led the battle against the Kala Colossal Beasts, killing the largest ones and collecting their corpses as future cultivation food. After the Transcendents cleared the remaining nearby beasts, you sent out a signal and left the surviving scattered beasts beyond their reach.

• Three-Faced Vajra Sorcerer Leola and the other First Realm Transcendents marveled at your strength and joined the battle to avoid repeating the Silver Wolf Sorcerer's fate.
• You stopped smaller Kala Colossal Beasts from eating the larger corpses, intending to use the poisonous meat for cultivation with the Eight Directions Food Support Art.
• You and the other fighters killed nearly all the largest beasts, and the battlefield fell silent when the sixteen First Realm experts could find no more nearby opponents.
• You announced that the battle was over, collected the enormous corpses with your Spatial equipment, and urged the others to kill the remaining few hundred beasts before they multiplied.
• You and the Transcendents spent over half a shichen clearing the nearby stragglers, then you sent out a signal and left the distant survivors in the Great Gumir Forest untouched.

Shou Yun silenced the people who accused him of abandoning the fight by showing them the Kala Colossal Beasts’ corpses, then investigated how Return to Origin interacted with his abilities. After reaching the peak of the Zero Realm, he left Lanbo City, where his exploits and Space Ring fueled his growing legend.

• Shou Yun returned from the Great Gumir Forest and silenced his accusers by dropping dozens of Kala Colossal Beast corpses before them.
• Shou Yun tested Return to Origin and discovered that it restored his state without consuming uses of Essence Reward and Punishment, while a use of Descent remained spent.
• Shou Yun completed the Skin, Flesh, Tendons, Bones, and Membrane stages of the Extreme Martial System and reached the peak of the Zero Realm.
• Shou Yun left Lanbo City after Xu Daolin distributed small benefits to some of his friends, and stories of Shou Yun spread across the region.
• A Third Realm True Self Sorcerer came to kill Shou Yun and take his Space Ring, but Shou Yun sent Xu Daolin to deal with him.

You intimidated the Azure Domain’s powerful lineages into surrendering the Space Ring, then continued exploring and cultivating your second-life body. The chapter left you traveling through the Sun-Casting Belt at True Essence Seven Transformations, preparing to advance further.

• You forced a powerful sorcerer Lineage to kneel after its young heir tried to seize your Space Ring, and ordered them to ensure you never saw him or his associates again.
• You explained that Extreme Martial First Realm began with True Essence Nine Transformations, which strengthened the marrow and blood through nine cycles.
• In Year 4034, you explored Haipoh Continent and other regions, taming Cyclopean Mountain Giants and encountering demon dragons, harpies, and merfolk.

• You cultivated to True Essence Seven Transformations, gaining stronger physical endurance and the ability to store Essence Blood for a powerful strike.

After being humiliated by water spirits and abandoned by allies, Yun Shou resolved to grow stronger quickly and advanced through the Extreme Martial System. He entered the Yuan Tian Battlefield’s Second Realm region, where his strength was formidable in the outer ring but modest among its most powerful fighters.

• Water spirits overwhelmed Yun Shou at Mount Jin, while Xu Daolin withdrew and later others left him in his weakened state.
• After Ye Ranyi departed, Yun Shou decided to accelerate his cultivation and reached True Essence Nine Transformations over the following months.

• By 4188, Yun Shou had cultivated his Extreme Martial System to the Fourth Realm and reached the Death Gate, the final gate of the Eight Gates.

You tested the Death Gate until you found a future in which you survived, then spent decades cultivating the Extreme Martial path while Xu Ling'er completed the Way of Zun Yuan and Bei Chenguang returned to the Fifth Realm.

• You reached the Abyssal Sky Barrier and crossed it, then recalled the surrounding domains, including the demon- and devil-ruled Hong Domain.

You explored the Hong Domain, where a Vitality Devouring Beast threatened demons and devils who had formed a temporary alliance. After a Vomiting Toad vomited at you, you used the Century King’s gaze to shatter it and the other creatures in the camp.

• You swept your gaze over the camp and shattered the other creatures, abandoning your plan to ask about the domain.

You captured and repeatedly destroyed a Vitality Devouring Beast, discovering that its nearly indestructible regeneration came from a flesh core. You then reset the future and swallowed the core to try to turn the beast into a cultivation resource, but it began proliferating uncontrollably inside your body.

• You seized a Vitality Devouring Beast from tens of millions of miles away and learned that its aurora dissolved vitality power.
