Chapter Summaries

Chen Fei’s clone entered the space behind the Dragon Elephant Stone Tablet and discovered hundreds of powerful Flesh Eyeballs before it was destroyed. He brought back a piece of rotten wood, found it reacted to Void Essence Qi, and began testing whether the Void Power could restore its spatial function.

• Chen Fei resisted the Flesh Eyeball’s influence on his true body while his clone used the Xuanyuan Sword’s True Spirit to preserve its clarity.
• Chen Fei’s clone teleported to the collapsed buildings, took a piece of rotten wood, and saw hundreds of Flesh Eyeballs fill the sky.
• The Flesh Eyeballs’ pollution consumed Chen Fei’s clone, so Chen Fei shut down the Dragon Elephant Stone Tablet and examined the wood he had brought back.
• Chen Fei discovered that the wood reacted to Void Essence Qi and seemed to regain traces of its exhausted spiritual essence.
• Chen Fei carried the wood into the Space Rift and pressed it against the Void Membrane, where it withstood the crushing Void Power as light flowed across it.

Chen Fei rushed back to Qian Yan City after sensing that Lei Xie Hu and Nie Li had been gravely injured, arriving as five Mountain Sea Realm Mid Stage Black Shadows were about to overwhelm the defenders. He killed Zou Zaoxing and Luo Haiwei with successive sword strikes, leaving the battle against the remaining enemies unresolved.

• Chen Fei left the Dragon Elephant Stone Tablet and spent five days searching for monsters while restoring the wood in the Space Rift.
• Chen Fei sensed Lei Xie Hu and Nie Li suffering severe injuries and used his avatar in Qian Yan City to return there at tremendous cost to his body and soul.
• Five Black Shadows attacked Qian Yan City, and Zhao Ruizheng, Tang Shouchang, Zhao Tianyue, Ning Bozheng, Lei Xie Hu, and Nie Li struggled to hold them back.
• Chen Fei arrived as Tang Shouchang prepared a suicidal attack, pulled him away, and suppressed his burning power.
• Chen Fei killed Zou Zaoxing with the Qian Yuan Sword, then killed Luo Haiwei with another swift strike.

Chen Fei saved Qian Yan City by killing two Black God defectors and driving three away, then absorbed their spoils to strengthen his clone and prepare to improve his cultivation. He left to pursue the fleeing defectors while Holy City officials investigated the Black God threat and dismissed suspicions about Chen Fei.

• Chen Fei killed two Mountain Sea Realm Mid Stage Black Shadows, and the other three escaped using Return to Ruins.
• Chen Fei let the defectors flee to avoid revealing that he could track them in Return to Ruins, then helped the wounded Qian Yan City cultivators.
• Ji Zhanfeng and the other deacons arrived, heard that Chen Fei had killed two attackers, and left to report the incident.
• Chen Fei used one mass of spiritual essence to restore his avatar to Mountain Sea Realm Peak Initial Stage and sorted the attackers' treasures for materials and Myriad Form Bamboo.
• Chen Fei decided to pursue the three fleeing defectors and vanished from his secret chamber.
• Wu Zhankun suspected Chen Fei might be a Black God defector, but Ji Zhanfeng rejected the guess because Chen Fei had killed two of them.

Chen Fei tracked the Black God's defectors to Xuan Yun City and stormed the City Lord Manor, where Qu Haifan and the others tried to kill him before he could expose them. Chen Fei overwhelmed the defenders and slaughtered them, leaving the manor filled with Blood Mist.

• Chen Fei used the Divine Blessing Dream Entering Art to track the marked Black God's defectors to Xuan Yun City.
• Qu Haifan, Zhong Qixue, and the others discussed concealing the deaths of Luo Haiwei and Zou after their failed attack on Qian Yan City.
• Chen Fei tore through the City Lord Manor's Golden Light Array, trapped the defenders inside an array, and unleashed his full strength.
• Chen Fei killed You Zhaohong and Wei Guangyu, then cut down two more Mountain Sea Realm Initial Stage cultivators.
• Qu Haifan, Zhong Qixue, and another cultivator attacked Chen Fei together, but he withstood their combined strike and killed all three with a slash of purple thunder.

Chen Fei killed Xuan Yun City's Mountain Sea Realm cultivators and destroyed Qu Haifan's hidden soul fragment before escaping ahead of the Holy City stewards. Back in Qian Yan City, he assessed his loot and the risks of selling it, weighing rapid advancement against drawing the Holy City’s attention.

• Chen Fei collected the slain cultivators’ Spirit Treasures and spiritual essence, then discovered and destroyed Qu Haifan’s concealed soul fragment in Xuan Yun City.
• Chen Fei escaped and triggered a formation outside the city, alerting nearby forces and the Holy City stewards while leaving Black God followers for them to investigate.
• Chen Fei inventoried the spoils in Qian Yan City and concluded that openly selling the seven Spirit Treasures could make him appear to be a Black God defector.
• Chen Fei calculated that selling his holdings could let him raise Talent Divine Blessing to Great Perfection and reach the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm Mid Stage, but worried the Holy City deacons might investigate him.
• Chen Fei took out Qu Haifan’s Jade Slip containing the technique used to separate his soul.

Chen Fei studied the Heavenly Fiend Soul Division Art and fused its divine-soul strengthening method into a new cultivation technique for his clone, then traded seized treasures for Myriad Form Bamboo. After learning that Hao Guoshu knew where to find the Slaughtering Spirit Art’s subsequent inheritance, Chen Fei joined him and another cultivator to enter a Strange Realm, where the inhabitants turned to watch them with eerie smiles.

• Chen Fei rejected splitting his main soul but fused the Heavenly Fiend Soul Division Art’s spiritual-essence method with his clone technique, creating the Water Source Fiend Shadow Art.

• Chen Fei, Hao Guoshu, and another Mountain Sea Realm cultivator traveled to a Strange Realm, where the people in its cities stared at them with faint smiles.

Chen Fei, Hao Guoshu, and Gu Zijian entered a Strange City whose master was nearing Tier 4 Late Stage and could not be attacked from outside. Inside, Chen Fei recognized the village chief of Rice Village and threatened to teach the gathered Weirds the Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique, leaving them hostile and alarmed.

• Hao Guoshu explained that the Strange Realm's master was close to breaking through and that its movable stone stele could lead them to the master's true body.
• Gu Zijian attacked the Strange City with the Blood Soul Axe, but the city remained unharmed because it was lodged inside a Space Rift.
• Hao Guoshu, Chen Fei, and Gu Zijian entered the Strange City, where its residents watched them arrive.
• Chen Fei awoke in a crowded street and used the Xuanyuan Sword to shatter the city's pressure on his divine soul.
• Chen Fei recognized the Old Man as the former village chief of Rice Village and asked about the other villagers.
• The village chief denied knowing Chen Fei, who threatened to teach the surrounding Weirds the Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique.

Chen Fei forced the Weirds of the Strange City to surrender their origins by teaching them absurd breathing techniques, then used the city’s Nodes to locate a stone tablet containing the Reincarnation Slaughtering Breath Art. He discovered that the technique was incomplete and that reading it had begun to influence his soul.

• Chen Fei drew hundreds of Weirds into a lesson and drained their origins by teaching them the Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique, the Wind Suspension Breathing Technique, and the Startling Suspension Force.
• The Weirds fled, and Chen Fei forced the village chief to help him find a moving stone tablet that might hold the Slaughtering Spirit Art’s inheritance.
• Chen Fei used dream power and the Heavenly Eye to follow the Strange City’s Node and locate the stone tablet.
• Chen Fei read the Reincarnation Slaughtering Breath Art and found that it was incomplete and silently influencing his soul.

Chen Fei discovered that the Reincarnation Slaughtering Breath Art secretly altered its readers, so he stripped away its dangerous parts and fused the remainder with his Thousand Illusion Severing Mystery Sword. He destroyed the Strange Realm’s stone stele and escaped its retaliation, leaving with Hao Guoshu and Gu Zijian to report the realm’s powerful master to the Holy City.

• Chen Fei found that the Reincarnation Slaughtering Breath Art was secretly changing his divine soul and using his essence, mind, and soul to cultivate itself.
• Chen Fei removed the altered fragments from his divine soul and fused the remaining technique with the Thousand Illusion Severing Mystery Sword, creating the Slaughtering Breath Severing Mystery Sword.
• Chen Fei attacked and destroyed the stone stele, breaking the Node connected to the Strange Realm.
• Chen Fei used the Black God Pattern to lure a powerful gaze toward the Black God’s Aura, then escaped with Void Walk as the vortex collapsed.
• Hao Guoshu and Gu Zijian joined Chen Fei, and the three decided to return to the Holy City and report the Strange Realm’s master.

Chen Fei and his companions escaped the Strange Realm, then learned that Black God had killed Song Shangke, deepening the crisis across the Endless Sea. After reporting the Strange City and improving his ability to conceal his strength, Chen Fei disguised himself and left Duan Suizhi’s transformed saber at a shop.

• Gu Zijian used a spirit talisman to open a crack in the Strange Realm, allowing Chen Fei, Hao Guoshu, and himself to escape.
• Song Shangke detected Black God’s traces over the Endless Sea and pursued him, but Black God suddenly appeared beside him.
• Chen Fei and his companions sensed a powerful Dao Dissipation ripple and hurried back to Holy City.
• Holy City learned that Song Shangke had fought Black God and died, prompting fears that Black God could kill other Tier 5 experts.
• Chen Fei and Hao Guoshu reported the Strange City and received one Great Merit each; Chen Fei exchanged his for Myriad Form Bamboos and mastered Slaughtering Breath Severing Mystery Sword.
• Chen Fei disguised his appearance and cultivation, then placed Duan Suizhi’s transformed Sparrow Cloud Saber on a shop counter.

Chen Fei sold off Spirit Treasures and used the proceeds to buy Myriad Form Bamboo, refining it into Myriad Manifestations Clones to strengthen Talent Divine Blessing. He completed his Sixth Divine Palace and began breaking through the Void Barrier, entering the star-filled space beyond it.

• Chen Fei sold several purified Spirit Treasures through multiple shops and spent the High-Grade Essence Stones on forty-eight stalks of Myriad Form Bamboo.
• Chen Fei refined the bamboo into Myriad Manifestations Clones and used them to raise Talent Divine Blessing to Great Perfection.
• Chen Fei consumed Dragon Breath Pills and completed the Sixth Divine Palace, connecting it with the other five Divine Palaces.
• Chen Fei sent his divine soul against the Void Barrier, broke through its surface, and opened his eyes beneath a sky full of stars.

Chen Fei explored the void for talents and chose Thunderfall, which greatly strengthened the Purple Firmament Star Divine Art. After cultivating the technique to Perfection, he reached the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm Late Stage with the Seven Stars Shine Technique.

• Chen Fei discovered that Unceasing and Divine Blessing together reduced the soul consumed during his flight through the void.
• Chen Fei examined several talents, including lifesaving Divine Advent, critical-hit General Soul, and origin-extracting talents, but preferred stable enhancements.
• Chen Fei chose Thunderfall over Startling Goose, Transcendent Dust, Edgeless, and North Wind, then returned to Listening Wind Courtyard.
• Thunderfall resonated with the Purple Firmament Star Divine Art, boosting both talents and strengthening Chen Fei’s thunder-based power.
• Chen Fei used twenty-three Myriad Manifestations Clones to cultivate the Purple Firmament Star Divine Art to Perfection, refining the links among his six Divine Palaces.
• Chen Fei activated Seven Stars Shine, manifesting two illusory Divine Palaces and reaching the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm Late Stage.

Chen Fei prepared to attack Jade Spring Valley for resources, but a Sun Moon Realm expert destroyed it before he could act. As the sacred lands began wiping out Black God defectors, Chen Fei remained undetected and suspected their method of finding the defectors had limits.

• Chen Fei assessed his techniques, dwindling Essence Stones, and the dangers beyond the void as he resolved to cultivate urgently against the Black God.
• Chen Fei planned to attack Jade Spring Valley after spotting an opportunity, but a Sun Moon Realm expert shattered its formation and flattened the valley with one palm.
• Holy City deacons entered Jade Spring Valley and quickly finished off its surviving cultivators, including its Mountain Sea Realm defenders.
• Chen Fei realized the sacred lands had begun using Sun Moon Realm experts to eradicate Black God defectors across the Holy City.
• Chen Fei listened to reports in the City Lord Manor and reasoned that the sacred lands' detection method had limitations, since he had not been discovered.

After the purge of Black God defectors, Chen Fei hid his Black God Pattern, considered how to turn Void Wood into money, and used it to force the Thousand Feather Alliance altar to activate. Chi Yun, the Imperial Sovereign’s son, crossed over to kill him, and Chen Fei unleashed a powerful sword attack.

• Chen Fei stored the Black God Pattern in a Space Grid and learned that hundreds of defectors had been killed in the Holy City and the Demon Beast gathering grounds.
• Chen Fei examined the Void Wood and considered using it to upgrade the Qian Yuan Sword, sell it, or force the Thousand Feather Alliance altar to open.
• Chen Fei reached the concealed altar and channeled Heaven and Earth Essence Qi through the Void Wood, causing the altar to activate.
• In the canyon beyond the altar, the Imperial Sovereign sent Chi Yun through to kill Chen Fei and promised him a Sin Origin Pearl for succeeding.
• Chi Yun arrived at the altar in the Endless Sea and attacked Chen Fei, who answered with Sword Suppresses Galaxy and a massive lightning strike.

Chen Fei defeated and killed Chi Yun, an Emperor Lord Descendant sent through the altar, despite Chi Yun's powerful bloodline and rapid recovery. After extracting Chi Yun's spiritual essence, Chen Fei sensed a powerful being watching him from beyond the altar and shielded himself with the Black God's Aura.

• Chen Fei struck Chi Yun with a powerful sword attack, leaving the demon creature gravely injured but still alive through the power of its golden horn.
• Chi Yun overdrew its bloodline to strengthen itself, but Chen Fei summoned seven bolts of thunder and overwhelmed it.
• Chen Fei questioned Chi Yun about its origins and attempted to probe its divine soul, but Chi Yun's bloodline blocked the intrusion.
• Chen Fei killed Chi Yun and destroyed its fleeing divine soul with the Xuanyuan Sword, then collected its spiritual essence.
• Chen Fei looked through the altar and sensed a powerful being watching him from the other side, then used the Black God's Aura to block its gaze.

Chen Fei used the Black God's Aura to trigger a pursuit of the Black God's true body, then discovered that monsters were embedding altar runes in their offspring. Back in the Holy City, he found a newly erected High Altar built with a large amount of Myriad Form Bamboo.

• Chen Fei used a bottle of the Black God's Aura at the altar, frightening the monsters on the other side into abandoning their attempt to send more fighters through.
• Su Wenyu and Youying Leopard pursued the Black God's true body, which lured them away from other Sun Moon Realm experts and Demon Emperors; Song Shangke's apparent remnant soul then appeared and attacked them.
• Chen Fei searched for monster strongholds and found altar runes carved into monsters' bodies, especially those of newborn monsters.
• Chen Fei returned to the Holy City, reported the monsters' changes to the Mission Hall, and received no reward because others had already found the same thing.
• Three days later, Chen Fei saw a High Altar in the center of the Holy City and recognized that its construction used a massive amount of Myriad Form Bamboo.

Chen Fei discovered that the Holy Land had bought up Myriad Form Bamboo for a High Altar, while the Sun Moon Realm experts learned that Black God could reincarnate the dead. The experts prepared a Soul Summoning Altar to reclaim Song Shangke’s Remnant Soul, and Chen Fei left Azure Cloud Market troubled by the altar’s purpose and scale.

• Chen Fei examined the High Altar, saw hundreds of stalks of Myriad Form Bamboo, and flew to Azure Cloud Market to check the market’s supply.
• Su Wenyu and the Youying Leopard recounted their escape after Black God used the reincarnated Song Shangke to attack them.
• Zhan Xuming and the other Sun Moon Realm experts discussed how the Soul Summoning Altar could reclaim Song Shangke’s Remnant Soul and prevent Black God from using Reincarnation of the Dead again.
• Su Wenyu raised suspicions about the circumstances surrounding Black God’s recent appearances, and the experts agreed to investigate.
• Chen Fei learned from a shopkeeper that the Holy Land had bought the market’s Myriad Form Bamboo for the High Altar, then left Azure Cloud Market with a furrowed brow.

Chen Fei weighed how to use his valuable materials amid the Sacred Lands’ purchases and rising Spiritual Material prices, then fused Void Wood into the Qian Yuan Sword to help it advance. After Baka awakened a remarkable ability upon reaching Tier 3, Chen Fei discovered that Baka could expand a pill’s structure and strengthen its medicinal power.

• Chen Fei found that the Sacred Lands’ bulk purchases had driven Myriad Form Bamboo and other Spiritual Material prices sharply upward.
• Chen Fei chose to fuse Void Wood into the Qian Yuan Sword rather than sell the Void Wood or spend his spiritual essence upgrading Chi Yun’s blade, and the sword’s spirituality fell asleep as it approached a High-Grade Spirit Treasure breakthrough.
• Chen Fei visited Baka, congratulated him on reaching Tier 3, and tasted the unusually pure medicinal liquid Baka had made from herbs.
• Chen Fei realized Baka could do more than purify herbs, so he gave Baka a Tier 4 Snow Cloud Pill to test.
• Baka expanded the Snow Cloud Pill without destroying it, and Chen Fei’s intervention ended the process with the pill’s medicinal power strengthened by a notch.

Chen Fei used Baka’s ability to enhance pills with spiritual essence, then sold the improved Nine Ganoderma Pills in disguise at Azure Cloud Market for a large profit. After selling a blade as well, he asked another shop about the price of Myriad Form Bamboo.

• Chen Fei realized Baka could fuse spiritual essence into finished pills without damaging them and decided to use the ability to improve pills for sale.
• Five days later, Chen Fei disguised himself as an old farmer and brought improved Nine Ganoderma Pills to Rain Frost Pavilion.
• Feng Changde and Wu Xiangling examined a pill and recognized its extraordinary medicinal power, and Feng Changde offered to buy them all.
• Chen Fei refused Feng Changde’s requests for the pill recipe and for him to become a Guest Elder, then left with nearly ninety thousand High-Grade Essence Stones from the pill sale.
• Chen Fei sold a blade for eighteen thousand High-Grade Essence Stones and entered another shop to ask about Myriad Form Bamboo.

Chen Fei followed a manhunt task to Fallen Leaf Mountain, where he encountered two Mountain Sea Realm Mid Stage cultivators pursued by a Geng Metal Tiger. He killed Rong Hua Chang after detecting the Black God Aura on him, spared Gong Lian Fen, and defeated the tiger, revealing it to be a spirit treasure transformed into a saber.

• Chen Fei bought eighteen stalks of Myriad Form Bamboo, then considered searching for objects that could force Black God to reveal himself.
• After investigating possible sites, Chen Fei went to Fallen Leaf Mountain to search for a missing sect Grand Elder in exchange for a reward.
• Chen Fei entered a formation and encountered Rong Hua Chang and Gong Lian Fen fleeing from a Geng Metal Tiger.
• Chen Fei detected the Black God Aura on Rong Hua Chang and killed him, then stopped Gong Lian Fen from fleeing and showed her the aura.
• Chen Fei fought the Geng Metal Tiger and defeated it, revealing that it had been a spirit treasure transformed into a saber.
