Chapter Summaries

Chen Fei challenged the Mo Clan and Yin Clan, claimed their Core Territories, and secured the Xian Race’s support despite the enemies he made. Shi Ding An gave him a Ninth-Order breakthrough Secret Art and three Tier 8 Top-Grade Inheritances, and Chen Fei offered his territories in exchange for Essence Crystal Spirit Materials.

• Chen Fei offered six portions of Core Territory in exchange for Essence Crystal Spirit Materials, and someone called out to him.

Chen Fei traded six Core Territories to the Xian Race and Yu Clan for valuable resources, then studied their inheritances while recovering from the backlash of using the Nine Heavens Forbidden Art. The Mo and Yin Clan ancestors learned of his weakness, but debated whether to exploit it or wait for others to act.

• Chen Fei exchanged six Territory Jade Stones with Shi Ding An and Jian Shizao for Essence Crystal Spirit Materials worth roughly the wealth of seven Late-Stage Eighth-Order experts.
• Chen Fei began studying three Tier 8 Top-Grade inheritances while his realm fell to Initial Stage Eighth-Order after using the sixfold Nine Heavens Forbidden Art.
• Chen Fei used his prepared backup to absorb Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, remove his weakened state, and recover toward Mid-Stage Eighth-Order.
• An unidentified expert told Yu Shizhong and Miu Yonghe that using the sixth fold of the Nine Heavens Forbidden Art caused a realm drop, prompting them to scrutinize Chen Fei's Aura.
• Yu Shizhong and Miu Yonghe considered whether Chen Fei's weakness was a trap and discussed whether their clans should act against him.
• Yu Shizhong argued that the other races should share the effort to kill Chen Fei, since attacking the Xian Race directly would be difficult and costly.

Chen Fei fused three Tier 8 techniques into the Nine Heavens Underworld Devil Art and secured the Sky Breaking Art, then accepted Rao Zhaopu’s challenge despite warnings. Rao Zhaopu attacked with a hidden twin brother who emerged behind Chen Fei, turning the duel into a two-on-one ambush.

• Rao Zhaopu struck Chen Fei’s Golden Bell Shield with a bronze hammer as his Limit Eighth-Order Late Stage twin brother appeared behind Chen Fei with a second hammer.

Rao Zhaopu attacked Chen Fei with his clone while Chen Fei’s cultivation was still weakened, but Chen Fei rapidly recovered his realm. Rao Zhaopu shattered Chen Fei’s golden bell with a clan treasure and struck him from both sides, leaving Chen Fei injured but standing.

• Rao Zhaopu summoned his clone and attacked Chen Fei from both sides as Chen Fei sheltered inside the Hidden Essence Bell.

• Chen Fei’s arms split open from the impact, surprising Rao Zhaopu, whose attack had failed to kill him.

Chen Fei recovered to the Mid-Stage Eighth-Order while enduring Rao Zhaopu’s attacks, then overwhelmed him with power smelted from those blows. Rao Zhaopu’s defensive treasure failed, and Chen Fei killed him in the Martial Arts Arena despite the Geng Clan Old Ancestor’s plea.

• Rao Zhaopu and his clone attacked Chen Fei, who defended himself with Dragon Elephant Suppressing Heavens while his cultivation recovered.
• Chen Fei broke through to the Mid-Stage Eighth-Order and counterattacked Rao Zhaopu with the Qian Yuan Sword.
• Rao Zhaopu used the Earth Scale Subduing Wave Tree to protect himself and fled toward the arena boundary, while Chen Fei destroyed his clone and restrained the treasure with the Azure Heavens Lock.
• Chen Fei repeatedly struck the Earth Scale Subduing Wave Tree as Rao Zhaopu’s injuries drained its power and weakened its defenses.
• The Geng Clan Old Ancestor called for mercy, but Chen Fei ignored him and beheaded Rao Zhaopu.

Chen Fei killed Rao Zhaopu in the Martial Arts Arena, prompting Geng Clan Old Ancestor Ming Yan Yong to challenge and threaten him. After Chen Fei left the arena, he examined Rao Zhaopu’s memories and discovered a connection between the Night Demonic Avatar cultivation method and his Scattering Beans into Soldiers divine ability.

• Chen Fei read Rao Zhaopu’s memories, discovered the Limitless Yuan Spirit Art and Night Demonic Avatar, and noticed a connection to Scattering Beans into Soldiers.

After learning Rao Zhaopu’s avatar method, Chen Fei planned to use the Status Panel Backup and Flesh Spirit Soil to create a powerful Past Self battle soldier. The barrier to the Heart Strange Realm then shattered, releasing grievance spirits, and as Chen Fei fled, Ming Yan Yong pursued him.

• Chen Fei realized he could use the Night Demonic Avatar method with the Status Panel Backup to create a battle soldier modeled on his past self.
• Chen Fei traded the Overturning Heavens Overturning Seas Hammer to Shi Ding An for Flesh Spirit Soil to support the battle soldier’s physical body.

• Chen Fei and the other Eighth-Order cultivators fled Nansha Valley as grievance spirits emerged, including a likely Ninth-Order existence.
• Chen Fei noticed Ming Yan Yong pursuing him, while Yu Shizhong held back rather than risk attracting a powerful grievance spirit.

Chen Fei completed the Darkness Rule and brought the Night Demonic Avatar to its limit, while preparing to advance further.

• A Ninth-Order Grievance Spirit left the Profound Spirit Domain for the territories of the Ninth-Order Supreme races, while smaller pillars of black qi moved toward the domain’s core.

After breaking through to the Late-Stage Creation Realm, Chen Fei explored the void and chose a second characteristic of the Power Rule, Pinnacle, despite the strain it placed on his divine soul. He began completing his transformation with High-Grade Essence Crystals while Ming Yan Yong remained trapped nearby.

• Chen Fei entered the void and sensed that his clearer insight into the Time Rule would likely require reaching Peak-Stage Eighth-Order to grasp.
• Chen Fei compared the Destruction characteristic All Things Turn to Ash, the Water Rule characteristic Extreme Ice Cold, and the Power Rule characteristic Turn the Tide.
• Chen Fei chose Turn the Tide to strengthen the Power Rule alongside Extremity, then returned to his body and endured the immense pressure of stacking two characteristics.
• Chen Fei circulated his techniques until Turn the Tide attached to the Power Rule crystal, and the pressure in his divine soul subsided.
• Chen Fei shattered tens of thousands of High-Grade Essence Crystals and absorbed their energy to complete his Late-Stage Creation Realm transformation, while Ming Yan Yong remained trapped about a thousand li away by the Night Demon War Soldier.

He pushed Dragon Elephant Suppressing Heavens toward Perfection, reached the limit of an Eighth-Order physique, and began comprehending the Reincarnation Rule to advance further.

• Chen Fei sensed the fierce Ninth-Order battle and returned to the great hall, knowing he could not yet interfere in a clash of that level.

• Chen Fei condensed the Rule of Destruction into his divine soul and began comprehending the Reincarnation Rule as his next step toward the Peak-Stage Creation Realm.

Chen Fei survived the perilous transformation of his body into the Early-Stage Ninth-Order and completed a major cultivation session, greatly strengthening his power. He left Qiankun City and considered using the heavenly tribulation gathering above him to refine a Reaching Heaven Mystic Treasure.

• Chen Fei’s body and divine soul nearly dissolved under the heat, then rapidly recovered as his breakthrough succeeded and his physique reached the Early-Stage Ninth-Order.

• Chen Fei condensed the Reincarnation Rule Crystal, began cultivating the Hail Rule, and strengthened his source and Mystic Womb True Understanding.
• Chen Fei left the great hall after telling Wan Xinjing and Wan Aili to guard the two cities, then assessed his new strength beyond a hundred thousand li away.
• Chen Fei saw tribulation clouds gathering overhead and considered using the heavenly tribulation’s connection to the Ruin Realm Source to refine a Reaching Heaven Mystic Treasure.

Chen Fei began simultaneous tribulations to upgrade the Qian Yuan Sword and Waterfall Sun Sword, then entered the void to select a Rule Characteristic for his breakthrough to Peak-Stage Creation Realm. He considered choosing two characteristics at once, relying on his Ninth-Order Supreme Realm physique to withstand the attempt.

• Chen Fei began overlapping tribulations for himself and the two Mystic Swords, scattering the heavenly thunder with his strength.
• The Qian Yuan Sword advanced to Superior Creation Mystic Treasure, while the Waterfall Sun Sword completed its tribulation at Tier 8 Top-Grade.
• Shi Shou Xian arrived at Qiankun City to discuss the resentful spirits and fighting, and Wan Xinjing and Wan Aili directed him to the Guest Welcoming Pavilion while Chen Fei was away.
• Chen Fei finished his tribulation, released his divine soul into the void, and examined the Rule Characteristics available for his Peak-Stage breakthrough.
• Chen Fei considered choosing Cold, Destruction, and Return, then wondered whether he could bring back two characteristics because his physique had reached the Ninth-Order Supreme Realm.

Chen Fei survived adding the Cold and Annihilation Rule Characteristics together, then used his new power to uncover a fragment of the Time Subordinate Rules. He needed two hundred thousand Top-Grade Essence Crystals to simplify it, and returned to Qiankun City to meet Shi Shou Xian while a hostile Supreme approached the Sky Wave Domain.

• Chen Fei abandoned the Return characteristic and brought the Cold and Annihilation characteristics back to reality, enduring their violent effects until they merged with his rules.
• The Cold characteristic strengthened Chen Fei's Nine Heavens Underworld Devil Art, and he froze space and slowed its particles while exploring how stillness could resemble stopped time.
• Chen Fei's Panel revealed that he had discovered the Present fragment of the Time Subordinate Rules, but simplifying it required two hundred thousand Top-Grade Essence Crystals.
• Chen Fei returned to Qiankun City and apologized to Shi Shou Xian for leaving him waiting.
• A colossal ship approached the Sky Wave Domain, and its Supreme learned that the Night Race was the strongest race there.

Chen Fei moved the human race and Xuan Clan to a settlement near Xian City, then asked the Xian Race for Top-Grade Essence Crystals to help him comprehend the Time Subordinate Rules faster. Shi Ding An lent him the Xian Race’s entire supply of over fifteen thousand crystals and told him to keep the Waterfall Sun Sword.

• Shi Ding An lent Chen Fei the Xian Race’s supply of over fifteen thousand Top-Grade Essence Crystals and told him to keep the sword.

Chen Fei learned that a Ninth-Order race’s hidden secret realm could provide the Top-Grade Essence Crystals he needed, and joined the Profound Spirit Domain’s races as they opened it. He entered the realm with the other Eighth-Order experts, where towering peaks and a powerful aura greeted him.

• Chen Fei refused Shi Ding An’s offer of the Waterfall Sun Sword and kept his Qian Yuan Sword, whose Tier 8 Top-Grade power confirmed his Peak-Stage Eighth-Order strength.

• Chen Fei entered the secret realm and found himself before dozens of towering peaks beneath a majestic aura.

Chen Fei entered the secret realm and found cultivators from other regions already competing for its treasures. After ignoring the Kuang Clan’s threat and reaching a great hall protected by a Ninth-Order Array Formation, he began to probe and deduce how to break it.

• Chen Fei tested the array shielding the summit’s great hall, endured its counterattack, and studied its changes in his Sea of Consciousness.
• After a quarter of an hour, Chen Fei reached out toward the great hall, drawing the Kuang Clan experts’ surprised attention.

Chen Fei used the Time Rule to break through the Ninth-Order Array Formation on the Mountain Summit and reached the great hall. As other Eighth-Order experts arrived, the Kuang Clan withdrew from the mountainside rather than risk being drawn into a fight, while Chen Fei found a lone table inside the hall.

• Chen Fei endured the array formation’s counterattack while sensing its changes, then used a fragment of the Time Subordinate Rules to disrupt it and charge through.
• Tian Guangqing sent Tian Luran to investigate the disturbance, and Tian Luran saw Chen Fei nearing the great hall while the array formation could not stop him.
• Tian Guangqing led the Kuang Clan’s Eighth-Order cultivators away from the mountainside, judging that other experts would soon come to investigate.
• Late-Stage and Peak-Stage Eighth-Order experts arrived at the mountain, saw evidence that someone had crossed the array alone, and Chen Fei looked at a lone table inside the great hall.

Chen Fei found the incomplete Ninth-Order Defiant Calamity Art hidden in the marks on a desk and fused it with his Nine Heavens Underworld Devil Art to create a stronger cultivation technique.
