Chapter Summaries

Ling Wuyuan reflected on how strength let cultivators turn crises into opportunities, then continued studying the External Ultra-High Pressure Information Storage Discs. His accelerated thinking let him absorb vast knowledge, though it strained his brain, and he expected to adapt and raise the multiplier further.

• Ling Wuyuan considered how strength let the powerful guide dangerous situations toward favorable outcomes, unlike the weak who could be overwhelmed by misfortune.
• Ling Wuyuan checked Void Mist Sea and confirmed that Its current situation posed no major problem.
• Ling Wuyuan returned to reading the External Ultra-High Pressure Information Storage Discs and processed many of them simultaneously.
• Abyssal Divine Speed accelerated Ling Wuyuan's thoughts by a factor of one billion, allowing him to master enormous amounts of complex knowledge in a short time.
• Ling Wuyuan used Gray Mist Transformation and Super Regeneration to counter the damage to his brain, and he anticipated adapting to the speed before increasing it further.

Ling Wuyuan reflected on how years of refining [Abyssal Divine Speed] had made its numerical acceleration and the thinking speed it enabled the foundation of his growth. After comparing himself with the strongest figures in Ji Yinghan’s records, he judged that he could kill any of them with one move, even under severe restrictions.

• Ling Wuyuan regarded [Abyssal Divine Speed] as his true combat trump card, more important to him than [Torrent of Destiny], [All Things Known], or [Doomfall Calamity].
• Ling Wuyuan’s [Abyssal Divine Speed] had grown from severalfold acceleration to hundreds of millions of times, though such movement required preparations to withstand its recoil.
• Ling Wuyuan used the ability’s low-cost acceleration of thought to study and combine knowledge, rapidly transforming [All Things Known] and [Doomfall Calamity].
• Ling Wuyuan compared himself with the peak [Heavenly Position Realm] figures recorded in Ji Yinghan’s inheritance and concluded that none could match him.
• Ling Wuyuan judged that even with his physical fitness suppressed and his abilities unused, he could kill those recorded figures in one move.

Ling Wuyuan assessed his overwhelming strength and learned that the Dragon Beast Sea Ridge’s biological weapons could now resist the Main Spacetime’s laws and recover much of their power. He traveled there with Xi Xianlan to inspect hundreds of millions of upgraded star-sized forges.

• Ling Wuyuan concluded that the prodigies in the battle recordings were no match for him and recognized how exceptional his talent was.
• Xi Xianlan told Ling Wuyuan that the Dragon Beast Sea Ridge’s biological weapons could now wield about half their strength and gradually recover to around eighty percent.
• Ling Wuyuan kissed Xi Xianlan and took her to the Dragon Beast Sea Ridge to inspect the completed adjustments.
• Ling Wuyuan and Xi Xianlan saw hundreds of millions of star-sized biological-weapon forges capable of producing weapons repeatedly or rapidly expending their resources to create combat-ready forces.
• Xi Xianlan marveled at the forges, which represented the Thorn Civilization’s achievement and Ling Wuyuan’s work.

Xi Xianlan briefly played with the facilities of [Dragon Beast Sea Ridge] while Cang Qingqing reported that its transformation was nearly complete. Ling Wuyuan then placed the [Beast Spirit Jade Nest] at the central manufacturing base, activating it and the transformed stars.

• Ling Wuyuan let Xi Xianlan control [Dragon Beast Sea Ridge], and she experimented with its facilities before Cang Qingqing and the others arrived.
• Cang Qingqing told Ling Wuyuan that the transformation was almost finished and praised the progress made by the Grand Elders.
• Ling Wuyuan praised Cang Qingqing and the others for their work, which he had supported with technology, planning, and the [Torrent of Destiny].
• Ling Wuyuan summoned the [Beast Spirit Jade Nest] atop the central Planet-type Biological Weapon Manufacturing Base.
• The manufacturing base roared to life, and the transformed stars shone brightly across the sea of stars.

The [Beast Spirit Jade Nest] triggered a powerful transformation of the [Dragon Beast Sea Ridge], elevating the Planet-type Biological Weapon Manufacturing Base and the surrounding star formations. Ling Wuyuan refused to lend the dangerous treasure to Cang Qingqing and the Grand Elders, but allowed them to observe it from afar.

• The [Beast Spirit Jade Nest] unleashed vast energy that transformed the Planet-type Biological Weapon Manufacturing Base and the linked stars throughout the [Secret Realm Space-Time].
• Cang Qingqing and the others realized that Ling Wuyuan's earlier formation arrangements had prepared the region for this transformation.
• Cang Qingqing asked Ling Wuyuan to lend her the treasure for research, and the other Grand Elders showed interest in studying it too.
• Ling Wuyuan refused to lend the [Beast Spirit Jade Nest], warning that it was too dangerous to handle carelessly for at least the next few decades.
• Ling Wuyuan told them they could observe the treasure from afar while it continued releasing energy.

Ling Wuyuan used the [Beast Spirit Jade Nest] to transform [Dragon Beast Sea Ridge] into a Biological Weapon Manufacturing Base and began preparing to produce [Eternal Life Realm biological weapons]. Two years later, the base had changed drastically and production was underway, though his attempt to speed it up by altering time had only limited success.

• Ling Wuyuan considered the [Beast Spirit Jade Nest]'s ability to turn [Dragon Beast Sea Ridge] into a large-scale Biological Weapon Manufacturing Base and weighed the costs of producing [Immortal Realm] weapons.
• Ling Wuyuan estimated that manufacturing [Eternal Life Realm biological weapons] could take between one hundred and fifty and twenty thousand years, depending on the model, and made plans to improve the facilities.
• Cang Qingqing and the others watched strange energy from the [Beast Spirit Jade Nest] spread through the starry sky and illuminate the biological weapon incubators, but they could not understand what was changing.
• Two years later, [Dragon Beast Sea Ridge] had been transformed, and Ling Wuyuan officially began manufacturing [Eternal Life Realm biological weapons].
• Ling Wuyuan tried to accelerate production by adjusting the flow of time within [Dragon Beast Sea Ridge], but the results were only passable.

Ling Wuyuan found he could not accelerate the vast Dragon Beast Sea Ridge, but his powers and techniques were growing so rapidly that reaching the Eternal Life Realm seemed close. Meanwhile, a spacetime disaster appeared five domains from the Silver Mist Sea Domain, annihilating a populated island before a figure fell from the hole into the ocean.

• Ling Wuyuan concluded that accelerating the Dragon Beast Sea Ridge was beyond his current strength because of the enormous scale involved.
• Ling Wuyuan reflected that his rapid growth made reaching the Eternal Life Realm likely to come before the Beast Spirit Jade Nest produced Eternal Life Realm biological weapons.
• Ling Wuyuan's Mist Realm to Heavenly Palace defense advanced to a level he believed ordinary mid- and lower-tier Eternal Life Realm cultivators could not breach.
• Ling Wuyuan's All Things Known and Doomfall Calamity improved, letting him read more information and identify flaws in himself and other things.
• A black hole opened above a prosperous island five domains from the Silver Mist Sea Domain, and spacetime turbulence annihilated the island and the surrounding sea.
• A figure plunged from the hole into the ocean.

An unidentified nonhuman invader destroyed the Blood Worship Society’s hidden headquarters, overcoming its defenses and killing its strongest expert. As the last member faced death, the invader explained that the attack had nothing to do with a grudge; the Society had simply seemed like a suitable target.

• The invader effortlessly breached the Blood Worship Society’s concealed headquarters and defeated its defenses.
• The invader killed the Society’s strongest expert, who had endured three exchanges only because the invader wanted to test his abilities.
• The invader hunted down the Society’s remaining members, leaving one final member to ask why they had been attacked.
• The invader said they had attacked because the Blood Worship Society seemed like a suitable target.

Fu Nianzhou wiped out the Blood Worship Society to gather intelligence and learned that the surrounding Domains lacked Heavenly Position Realm cultivators. He considered using an emerging Heavenly Position Realm expert to control the region, but Ling Wuyuan’s performance at the Yuting Martial Arts Tournament left him questioning how someone in the True Form Realm could fight so abnormally.

• Fu Nianzhou chose the Blood Worship Society as a convenient target and crushed the organization head-on.
• Fu Nianzhou killed the man who questioned his motives and searched his soul for information.
• Fu Nianzhou learned that the Blood Worship Society’s members were powerful locally, but the surrounding Domains had no Heavenly Position Realm cultivators.
• Fu Nianzhou considered turning the expert about to advance at the Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion into a puppet to control the surrounding Domains.
• Fu Nianzhou watched memories of the Yuting Martial Arts Tournament and was shocked by Ling Wuyuan’s combat techniques and rapid combat evolution.

Fu Nianzhou reconsidered Ling Wuyuan’s extraordinary talent and concluded that he might become a threat if allowed to grow. He resolved that he could not avoid dealing with Ling Wuyuan, though he had yet to decide whether to attack or test him first.

• Fu Nianzhou reflected on Ling Wuyuan’s performance at the Yuting Martial Arts Tournament and judged his talent to be beyond anything he had witnessed.
• Fu Nianzhou read the thoughts of a cultivator whose confidence had collapsed after seeing Ling Wuyuan’s techniques.
• Fu Nianzhou realized Ling Wuyuan could threaten his plans to recover by gathering resources from the surrounding Domains.
• Fu Nianzhou considered attacking Ling Wuyuan or testing him, and decided he could not let him advance to the Heavenly Position Realm.

Ling Wuyuan sensed an unusual shift in karma but felt no danger and grew frustrated when no one appeared to challenge him. Ten years later, Zheng Fanyi prepared a repaired Broken Arrow while Fu Nianzhou secretly controlled superpowers and joined him in spreading word of an approaching final battle, prompting other factions to seek opportunities as Ling Wuyuan struggled to suppress his level.

• Ling Wuyuan sensed a strange change in the Law of Karma but chose to wait and see, expecting something interesting to happen.
• Ling Wuyuan waited in vain for Zheng Fanyi or the new variable to appear, while Fu Nianzhou focused on recovering and gathering resources and Zheng Fanyi entered closed-door healing.
• Ten years later, Zheng Fanyi finished healing and converted Broken Arrow's remaining uses into one more powerful attack against Ling Wuyuan.
• Fu Nianzhou secretly brought superpowers in the Dragon Roaming Star Moon Domain under his control to use as vanguards against Ling Wuyuan.
• Zheng Fanyi and Fu Nianzhou spread word that a final battle was approaching, leading other factions to plan how to profit from the turmoil.
• Ling Wuyuan became troubled because he could no longer keep his level suppressed.

Ling Wuyuan accepted Zheng Fanyi’s challenge and let him choose the time, place, and number of opponents, confident that nobody could threaten him. Zheng Fanyi admired Ling Wuyuan’s confidence and prepared to face him, while Fu Nianzhou saw a chance to test Ling Wuyuan and considered giving Zheng Fanyi additional help.

• Ling Wuyuan told Su Qingyue that Zheng Fanyi could choose the time, place, and number of people for their confrontation, while Ling Wuyuan would fight alone.
• Su Qingyue remained certain that Zheng Fanyi and his Broken Arrow posed no threat to Ling Wuyuan.

• Zheng Fanyi praised Ling Wuyuan’s spirit and felt both pressure and ambition at the prospect of defeating him.
• Fu Nianzhou decided Zheng Fanyi could serve as his vanguard and considered providing him with more assistance than the Broken Arrow.

Fu Nianzhou judged that Zheng Fanyi’s Broken Arrow would not be enough to seriously threaten Ling Wuyuan, though Zheng might gather useful intelligence in their battle. As Zheng prepared to face Ling Wuyuan in the Lingbo Martial Domain, the watching cultivators recognized Zheng’s strength and waited to see the figure who had kept them from challenging him for years.

• Fu Nianzhou considered how to strengthen Zheng Fanyi and hoped Zheng could probe Ling Wuyuan for useful intelligence.
• Fifteen days later, Zheng Fanyi chose the Lingbo Martial Domain as the site of his battle with Ling Wuyuan.
• Observers gathered across the sea and beyond, and many adjusted their positions as Zheng Fanyi arrived and released his power.
• The observers recognized Zheng Fanyi as a genuinely powerful Void Glimpse Realm cultivator and grew more eager to witness Ling Wuyuan.
• The gathered powerhouses recalled that no Void Glimpse Realm cultivator had ever dared attack Ling Wuyuan on Ice Mist Snow Island, and their doubts about that fear began to vanish as they awaited his appearance.

Ling Wuyuan emerged from the Space Tunnel and unleashed an oppressive power that stripped the cultivators present of control over spiritual energy and space-time, leaving them helpless. Zheng Fanyi and Fu Nianzhou realized that their plans to face or influence Ling Wuyuan were hopeless.

• Ling Wuyuan appeared, and his presence enveloped the region with a force that made the powerful figures there feel fear and lose control of spiritual energy and space-time.
• The cultivators tried to resist the laws and restraints imposed by Ling Wuyuan, but their efforts were effortlessly suppressed.
• The onlookers recognized the vast difference between Ling Wuyuan's power and their own, and many abandoned thoughts of resisting him.
• Zheng Fanyi froze as he realized Broken Arrow could not help him and began imagining the many ways Ling Wuyuan could kill him.
• Fu Nianzhou, disguised among the onlookers, panicked and cursed that Ling Wuyuan's power was nothing like the [Void Glimpse Realm] he had expected.

Fu Nianzhou recognized that Ling Wuyuan had already reached the Heavenly Position Realm and was so powerful that even Fu Nianzhou at his peak would have been wary of fighting him. Though Fu Nianzhou tried to hide and escape, Ling Wuyuan spotted him and saw his abundant Law of Karma as a valuable opportunity.

• Fu Nianzhou sensed Ling Wuyuan's overwhelming presence and realized he had already reached the Heavenly Position Realm.
• Fu Nianzhou saw the countless Space-Time Shields protecting Ling Wuyuan and judged that he could not safely challenge him.
• Fu Nianzhou decided to hide and leave rather than risk a fight with Ling Wuyuan.
• Ling Wuyuan noticed Fu Nianzhou because his Law of Karma stood out among the gathered figures.
• Ling Wuyuan recognized Fu Nianzhou's hostility, fear, and poor condition, and welcomed the chance to seize the opportunity.

Ling Wuyuan spotted Fu Nianzhou across the void and moved to seize him before he could escape. Fu Nianzhou’s counterattack was stopped and his power sealed, leaving him pleading that he could be useful.

• Ling Wuyuan’s direct gaze made Fu Nianzhou realize he had been discovered, so Fu Nianzhou tried to flee.

• Fu Nianzhou begged Ling Wuyuan not to kill him, claiming he might be useful.

Ling Wuyuan instantly refined Fu Nianzhou into a red gemstone, then confronted Zheng Fanyi, who prepared a final all-or-nothing attack after learning Ling Wuyuan had reached the Heavenly Position Realm. The chapter ended as Zheng Fanyi vanished and his Broken Arrow transformed into a colossal tower that unleashed torrents of space-time.

• Ling Wuyuan dragged Fu Nianzhou to him and used a technique to refine Fu Nianzhou's body, soul, and karma into a red gemstone.
• Ling Wuyuan turned to Zheng Fanyi and declared that Zheng Fanyi could make one move before he died.
• Zheng Fanyi asked whether Ling Wuyuan had reached the Heavenly Position Realm, and Ling Wuyuan confirmed that he had broken through recently.
• Zheng Fanyi poured his body and soul into the Broken Arrow for a final attack, disappearing as the weapon became a colossal tower.
• The tower unleashed surging torrents of space-time powerful enough to crush space itself.

Zheng Fanyi sacrificed everything to unleash a devastating arrow that sent space-time currents across nearly half the Lingbo Martial Domain. Ling Wuyuan’s Torrent of Destiny kept inhabited areas safe, and the chapter ended as Zheng Fanyi’s final consciousness faded and his attack was about to strike.

• Zheng Fanyi’s sacrifice created a vortex that swallowed space-time and formed a dangerously powerful arrow.
• Space-time currents battered nearly half the Lingbo Martial Domain, terrifying its inhabitants and threatening even Void Glimpse Realm cultivators.

• Ling Wuyuan’s Torrent of Destiny kept disasters away from areas inhabited by intelligent life while leaving his allies protected.
• As Zheng Fanyi’s final consciousness faded inside the arrow, he asked Ling Wuyuan to receive his attack.

• Ling Wuyuan used the Star Slicing Sword Finger to split Zheng Fanyi’s arrow, destroying it and many spectators while sparing the survivors.
• Ling Wuyuan praised Zheng Fanyi’s strength, and the surviving spectators submitted to him as the unrivaled ruler of the surrounding Domains.

• Over the following years, Ling Wuyuan drove the Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion and its subordinate factions to reorganize their territories, resources, and responsibilities at extraordinary speed.

Over twelve years, Ling Wuyuan drove Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion’s conquest of several hundred Domains through ruthless force, crushing opposition and establishing rule across the territories. As the bloodshed began to subside, the Pavilion’s authority and governing structures spread throughout the land, though the extent of the slaughter remained immense.

• Ling Wuyuan rejected advice to conciliate difficult groups and ordered Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion to eliminate opposition with force.
• Ling Wuyuan regarded the suffering of the weak as an acceptable cost and believed his conquests left them better off than before.
• By the twelfth year after Zheng Fanyi’s death, most of those marked for death had been exterminated and the worst bloodshed was beginning to fade.
• Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion established preliminary political, military, and intelligence structures across several hundred Domains under its central headquarters.
• Ling Wuyuan’s forces annihilated resisting peoples and regions, then used ritual formations, curses, and divine abilities to kill those connected to their targets by blood.
