Chapter Summaries

Chen Fei learned that combining four Subordinate Rules matching earth, water, fire, and wind could lead to the Sky Opening Realm, then fused Wu Han’s damaged Nine Heavens Star Kill into a technique that revealed the Killing God State. After cultivating for ten days, he began using four Rule Fragments to activate that state, and a destructive power surged through his body.

• Chen Fei studied Wu Han’s memories and learned the methods and differences involved in reaching the Sky Opening Realm.
• Chen Fei destroyed Wu Han’s and He Yan’s Dao Artifacts and suspicious possessions, then kept the valuable treasures he had taken from them.

• Chen Fei smelted the earth, water, fire, and wind Rule Fragments and circulated the Desolate Universe Killing God Art, causing destructive power to surge through his body as black lightning coursed over him.

Chen Fei tested the Killing God State, which ignited his Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind Rule Fragments, and found that Suppressing Heavens let him control its destructive power. The state dramatically improved his cultivation speed, and he began cultivating toward strengthening the four rules while keeping the Space Sub-Rule as his main focus.

• Chen Fei realized the Killing God State could overwhelm an opponent but burned through his Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind Rule Fragments after a single burst.
• Chen Fei chose to keep prioritizing the Space Sub-Rule while letting the Desolate Universe Killing God Art gradually develop the other four rules.

• Chen Fei discovered the Killing God State greatly sharpened his perception of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and accelerated his comprehension.
• Chen Fei shattered ten thousand Low-Grade Essence Crystals and found his cultivation speed had risen to roughly one day equaling thirty days, shortening his estimates for advancing the Desolate Universe Killing God Art and Suppressing Heavens.

Chen Fei spent a month cultivating, advancing Suppressing Heavens and strengthening his physique before emerging to check on the war. As he sensed a growing danger, Spirit Devouring Worms entered the Black Stone Domain, forcing both armies to retreat.

• Chen Fei cultivated the four Subordinate Rules and advanced Suppressing Heavens, surviving a transformation that greatly strengthened his physique.

• Chen Fei returned to cultivation as the warning from Indestructible Divine Sense Undying grew stronger.
• A Wu Meng Clan Sky Opening Realm expert announced that Spirit Devouring Worms were crossing the Black Stone Domain and ordered Dao Fusion Realm and Sun Moon Realm cultivators to retreat ten thousand li.

Chen Fei and the human race withdrew from the war zone when the Spirit Devouring Worms entered the Black Stone Domain, then hurried back to Aurora City. He told the Yuan Chen Sword Sect about the danger and asked whether they wanted to return to the safer Endless Sea, but they chose to remain in the Ruin Realm.

• Chen Fei learned that the Spirit Devouring Worms were passing through the Black Stone Domain and that the Wu Meng Clan ordered the races to scatter while warning them about scavenging cultivators following the worms.
• The human race’s Emperor Lords gathered the survivors and rushed them back to Aurora City, where the cultivators dispersed among different cities to avoid attracting the Spirit Devouring Worms.
• Chen Fei returned to his courtyard, where Feng Xiupu and the others were relieved to see him and asked whether the war had ended.
• Chen Fei explained that the Spirit Devouring Worms had forced the armies to scatter, and he wondered whether bringing the Yuan Chen Sword Sect to the Ruin Realm had been the right choice.
• Chen Fei asked Qu Qingsheng and the others whether they wanted to return to the Endless Sea, but they said they preferred to stay and pursue greater heights despite the dangers.

As the Spirit Devouring Worms spread across the Black Stone Domain, Chen Fei searched for information and received Zhuo Mingyong’s Shadow Binding Kill technique, which he adapted to control Space Rule fragments. Half a month later, the worms advanced on Aurora City, leaving its fate uncertain.

• Weng Zongfang ordered Aurora City’s Dao Fusion Realm cultivators to prepare to evacuate as Spirit Devouring Worm swarms spread throughout the Black Stone Domain.
• Chen Fei borrowed and read records about the worms, finding a story that suggested a powerful race had once occupied the Black Stone Domain.
• Zhuo Mingyong gave Chen Fei his Shadow Binding Kill technique, and Chen Fei merged its control method into the Desolate Universe Killing God Art to manipulate Space Rule power.
• As Chen Fei cultivated for half a month, the Spirit Devouring Worms forced races to abandon cities while Scavengers followed the swarms and attacked settlements for profit.
• A great bell rang through Aurora City as Spirit Devouring Worms surged toward it.

As Aurora City evacuated its residents to Han Yun City ahead of the Spirit Devouring Worms, Chen Fei sensed the worms forcing their way through the Teleportation Array. Weng Zongfang closed the Space Rift before they could enter the hall.

• Weng Zongfang ordered Aurora City's residents moved to Han Yun City as the Spirit Devouring Worms approached, and Chen Fei gathered his assigned residents into the Hidden Essence Bell.
• Chen Fei met Yu Dingshan at the Teleportation Hall, then noticed the Teleportation Array's Space Rift fluctuating violently.
• Chen Fei warned the hall to shut down the array, but Yu Wuheng blocked his attempt to strike it, and their clash destabilized the array further.
• A Spirit Devouring Worm pushed its antennae through the array's barrier, while the Dao Fusion Realm cultivators hesitated to attack for fear of being marked by the swarm.
• Weng Zongfang joined the Array Masters in closing the Space Rift, shutting out the Spirit Devouring Worms.

Weng Zongfang led Aurora City’s Dao Fusion cultivators away after Spirit Devouring Worms detected the city’s Teleportation Arrays, but the swarm pursued them and forced everyone to scatter. Chen Fei encountered three Scavengers who attacked him, subdued them with Space Binding Kill, and discovered that Xing Gong carried a parasitic Spirit Devouring Worm.

• Weng Zongfang shut down Aurora City’s Teleportation Arrays and took the Dao Fusion cultivators aboard a ship to escape the approaching Spirit Devouring Worms.
• The Spirit Devouring Worms followed the gathered cultivators, so Tang Yunshou split them between two ships and then ordered them to scatter when the swarm kept pursuing.
• Yu Dingshan told Chen Fei to meet him in Pianyi City, and Chen Fei flew away while Tang Yunshou stayed behind to draw the swarm’s attention.
• Three Scavengers led by Xing Gong intercepted Chen Fei and attacked him with a suction force and a bloody-maw celestial phenomenon.
• Chen Fei trapped the three Scavengers with Space Binding Kill, and Xing Gong revealed a Spirit Devouring Worm parasitizing his body.

Chen Fei killed Xing Gong and two other Scavengers despite their threats about the Spirit Devouring Worms, then discovered their larvae’s talent had sharpened his perception of the Space Rule. He fled the pursuing swarm and, while traveling toward Pianyi City, sensed a battle nearby; by the time he approached, the human cultivator’s aura had vanished.

• Xing Gong threatened Chen Fei with retaliation from the Spirit Devouring Worm swarm, but Chen Fei took the three Scavengers into the Azure Heavens Domain and crushed them with spatial power.
• The three Spirit Devouring Worm larvae tried to mark Chen Fei, but the Power Rule Fragments from Suppressing Heavens blocked their mark and contained its spreading signal.
• Chen Fei absorbed the larvae’s talent, improving his comprehension of the Space Rule, and found that the Scavengers’ damaged divine souls offered few useful memories.
• Chen Fei confirmed that killing the larvae had not marked him, then changed course to evade the swarm and continued toward Pianyi City.
• Chen Fei sensed a battle between a human Dao Fusion Realm cultivator and a member of the Weird Clan; as he neared the fight, the human’s aura disappeared.

Chen Fei killed Zhao Tan, a Ghoul Clan Dao Fusion Realm Late Stage cultivator, in one move and learned that the Weird Clan and Ice Clan were hunting Aurora City's Dao Fusion Realm cultivators. After rescuing more than two hundred thousand humans, Chen Fei set off to find the enemy forces.

• Zhao Tan questioned Chen Fei about his strength before his body and soul disintegrated, fearing Chen Fei would eventually threaten the Ghoul Clan.
• Chen Fei extracted Zhao Tan's spiritual essence and Divine Soul Fragments, learning a reincarnation technique that could restore its user's condition and discovering the Weird Clan and Ice Clan's plan to hunt Aurora City's cultivators.
• Chen Fei merged Zhao Tan's technique into the Desolate Universe Killing God Art and took Zhao Tan's Pi Yun Blade and a human-made sword-shaped Dao artifact.
• Chen Fei gathered the remains of the humans Zhao Tan had killed and made the more than two hundred thousand people inside the Dao artifact fall asleep and forget the ordeal.
• Chen Fei learned from Zhao Tan's memories that the Weird Clan and Ice Clan were hunting Aurora City's Dao Fusion Realm cultivators, then flew off to the right.

Chen Fei adapted his divine soul and used the Weird Clan’s cultivation technique to imitate their anchoring message, allowing him to track Ice Clan and Weird Clan cultivators. As he flew toward the mark, he shattered his hoarded spiritual essences to strengthen his cultivation and ended up less than two thousand li from his target.

• Chen Fei failed to imitate the anchoring message until he combined Suppressing Heavens, Indestructible Divine Sense Undying, his Rule Fragments, and Zhao Tan’s Weird Clan cultivation technique.
• Chen Fei sent out an anchoring mark and set off to hunt the Ice Clan and Weird Clan cultivators whose message he had sensed three thousand li away.

• Chen Fei used all ten portions of spiritual essence to gain roughly twelve days’ worth of cultivation and flew to within two thousand li of the anchored mark.

Chen Fei imitated the Ghoul Clan’s anchoring mark to lure Hu Mang, an Ice Clan Dao Fusion Realm cultivator, into revealing himself and then pursued him using spatial movement. The chapter ended with Chen Fei freezing Hu Mang in place and appearing before him.

• Hu Mang considered the Ice Clan’s doubts about its alliance with the Ghoul Clan but decided he could not turn back after their attacks on the human race.
• Hu Mang noticed that the resonating mark differed from those of other Ghoul Clan cultivators and fled, suspecting danger.
• Chen Fei used a narrow Space Rift and the power of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind to cross more than a thousand li and catch up with Hu Mang.
• Hu Mang recognized Chen Fei and used a forbidden art to flee toward a fellow clan member, but Chen Fei restrained him with spatial power and appeared in front of him.

Chen Fei killed Hu Mang and several Ice Clan and Weird Clan cultivators while fleeing the pursuing Spirit Devouring Worms. He then drew the Scavenger team led by Ran Bin and Ran Lou away from the swarm, where Gan Ni attacked him and discovered too late that he had been feigning paralysis.

• Chen Fei killed Hu Mang with Space Binding Kill, plundered his talent, and absorbed insights from his Divine Soul Fragments.
• Chen Fei killed Lu Miao and two Ice Clan Dao Fusion Realm Middle Stage cultivators, then later killed two Weird Clan cultivators as the Spirit Devouring Worms closed in.
• Chen Fei spotted Ran Bin, Ran Lou, and their Scavenger team, recognized the twin brothers from the Divine Soul Fragments he had read, and fled away from the swarm.
• Ran Bin and Ran Lou pursued Chen Fei, intending to extract his soul for cultivation, while Gan Ni struck him with her beams and believed she had immobilized him.
• Chen Fei suddenly turned and shattered Gan Ni's head with a palm, prompting a Spirit Devouring Worm to thrust its antennae from her neck.

Chen Fei trapped Gan Ni, Ran Bin, Ran Lou, and the other Scavengers within the Azure Heavens Domain, then revealed overwhelming strength against the two captains. Ran Bin and Ran Lou unleashed forbidden arts and a combined soul attack, but Chen Fei’s sword strike shattered their Spirit Devouring Worm manifestation.

• Ran Bin and Ran Lou launched a divine soul attack, but Chen Fei’s Qian Yuan Sword strike shattered the manifestation.

Chen Fei killed Ran Bin and Ran Lou, then trapped and killed Gan Ni and the other Scavengers inside his Azure Heavens Domain. After extracting their talents and learning a cultivation art for the Space Sub-Rule of Void, he left the domain and headed southeast while cultivating.

• Ran Bin and Ran Lou burned their flesh and blood to escape, but Chen Fei used the Azure Heavens Domain to block their path and killed them and their Spirit Devouring Worms.
• Chen Fei read Ran Bin and Ran Lou's Divine Soul Fragments and found the incomplete Mystic Void Heaven Shocking Art, which cultivated the Space Sub-Rule of Void.

• Chen Fei harvested the four Spirit Devouring Worms' talents, fused the newly acquired cultivation art into the Desolate Universe Killing God Art, and collected the Dao artifacts.
• Chen Fei left the Azure Heavens Domain, followed the mark southeast, and began cultivating with the spiritual essence he had collected.

Chen Fei crossed the battlefield, killed You Wen, and learned that human Dao Fusion Realm cultivators were under attack. He continued slaughtering Ghoul Clan and Ice Clan cultivators as Emperor Lord Kou Fen investigated the deaths, leaving Chen Fei cultivating with seventy-one Rule Fragments.

• Chen Fei crossed more than a thousand li with You Wen, killed him, and found that his talent could no longer be increased by plundering ordinary Dao Fusion Realm Middle Stage cultivators.
