Chapter Summaries

Sui Bingqing confronted Chen Fei over Fang Changzhi’s death, but Chen Fei used the Crimson Soul Heavenly Devil and layered arrays to resist her. He fled rather than risk fighting a Late-Stage Ninth-Order opponent, leaving Sui Bingqing to unleash her full power against the still-standing array and devil.

• Sui Bingqing recognized Chen Fei and attacked him, suspecting he possessed a powerful secret or treasure.
• Chen Fei summoned the Crimson Soul Heavenly Devil, which blocked Sui Bingqing’s first strike but was driven back by her next palm.
• Chen Fei and the Night Demon War Soldier built three Ninth-Order Middle-Grade Profound Arrays, fusing them into a Ninth-Order Top-Grade Profound Array around Sui Bingqing.

• Chen Fei sent the Crimson Soul Heavenly Devil to engage Sui Bingqing while he flew away, and Sui Bingqing drew the Gluttonous Tear Sword and unleashed her full power.

Chen Fei escaped Sui Bingqing by using an array and the Crimson Soul Heavenly Devil, then recovered from the backlash and returned to the Profound Spirit Domain. Gong Yuanyan and Zhuang Shenzhong pursued him there, hoping to ambush him for his supposed supreme treasure.

• Chen Fei concealed his Aura while his array and Crimson Soul Heavenly Devil held Sui Bingqing back, and she failed to track him after they shattered.
• Gong Yuanyan and Zhuang Shenzhong decided to hunt Chen Fei while he was supposedly injured, but Kou Haixia refused to join them.
• Chen Fei recovered from the backlash with the Panel, restoring his ability to summon the Crimson Soul Heavenly Devil by spending hundreds of thousands of Top-Grade Essence Crystals.
• Chen Fei found the eight Inheritance Grounds in the Lower Plane razed, then returned to the upper layer and flew toward the Heavenly Gate.
• Chen Fei entered the Profound Spirit Domain, and Gong Yuanyan and Zhuang Shenzhong later arrived at the Heavenly Gate and saw the passage leading there.

Chen Fei used his stockpile of Top-Grade Essence Crystals to improve his cultivation, physique, and control of the Time Rule, then began the Void Union Tribulation to advance to Mid-Stage Ninth-Order. Gong Yuanyan and Zhuang Shenzhong found him undergoing the tribulation and discussed what to do next.

• Gong Yuanyan and Zhuang Shenzhong planned to ambush Chen Fei near the Human Race Territory if he was not in the Profound Spirit Domain, with the human race as a possible bargaining tool.
• Chen Fei cultivated in Qiankun City, mastered the Mist Heavenly Dao, and caused dense fog to spread over nearby cities.

• Gong Yuanyan used the Extinguish Divine Arrow against Chen Fei, but Chen Fei slowed it with his Time Subordinate Rules, prompting Gong Yuanyan and Zhuang Shenzhong to flee.
• Chen Fei crossed several hundred thousand li with the Space Heavenly Dao and intercepted Gong Yuanyan and Zhuang Shenzhong, drawing the Void Union Tribulation over them.
• Chen Fei summoned the Crimson Soul Heavenly Devil, which disrupted the tribulation and forced the two attackers to split up; it pursued Zhuang Shenzhong while the Night Demon War Soldier trapped Gong Yuanyan in a formation.
• Chen Fei easily completed the Void Union Tribulation, while Zhuang Shenzhong and Gong Yuanyan were left severely injured and near death.
• As Chen Fei’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit Soul transformed, he followed a guiding force through a Space Rift into the Void Source.

Chen Fei entered the Void Source and discovered the incomplete Black Tortoise Array Secret, a Ninth-Order Supreme inheritance that could strengthen his Soul Source Array Art. After his divine soul returned and his cultivation advanced to the Mid-Stage Ninth-Order, he killed Zhuang Shenzhong and Gong Yuanyan.

• Chen Fei entered the Void Source, stored two streams of light, and searched for powerful cultivation techniques using the Fate Rule.

• Chen Fei returned with his aura rising to the Mid-Stage Ninth-Order as Zhuang Shenzhong and Gong Yuanyan despaired.
• Chen Fei killed Zhuang Shenzhong and Gong Yuanyan with two sword strikes.

After breaking through to Mid-Stage Ninth-Order, Chen Fei killed Zhuang Shenzhong and Gong Yuanyan, then upgraded the Qian Yuan Sword and Hidden Essence Bell into Top-Grade Reaching Heaven Mystic Treasures. Back in Qiankun City, he began strengthening the Night Demon War Soldier and fused his cultivation arts into a new Ninth-Order Supreme art, the Black Tortoise Source Incantation.

• Chen Fei fused the Soul Source Array Art with the incomplete Black Tortoise Array Secret, creating the Ninth-Order Supreme Black Tortoise Source Incantation.

Chen Fei strengthened his techniques and rule to prepare for Sui Bingqing, who discovered his location and set out for the Profound Spirit Domain with a borrowed treasure. The chapter ended as Chen Fei’s cultivation produced an illusory river that stirred memories across Qiankun City.

• Chen Fei simplified the Black Tortoise Source Incantation into the Soul Source Array Art and cultivated it alongside Dragon Elephant Return to Ruin and the Past Time Subordinate Rule.
• Sui Bingqing received information linking Chen Fei to the Profound Spirit Domain and concluded that he possessed a supreme treasure.
• Sui Bingqing confirmed Chen Fei’s cities remained occupied, rewarded the Amber Clan steward, and left to borrow a treasure for confronting Chen Fei’s array and evil creature.
• In Qiankun City, Chen Fei continued cultivating until an illusory long river appeared above him and stirred memories in cultivators within ten thousand miles.

Chen Fei completed the Past Time Subordinate Rule, advanced several techniques, and gained a measure of the Body Merged with Heaven and Earth trait while setting up a tenfold Time Hut for the Night Demon War Soldier. He planned to use it to accelerate his cultivation of the Space Heavenly Dao, while Sui Bingqing set out with Chang Nahai’s Bright Smoke Mirror to hunt a dangerous evil thing.

• Chen Fei condensed the Past Time Subordinate Rule into an incomplete Time Rule Crystal and began comprehending Frost Heavenly Dao.
• Chen Fei’s Dragon Elephant Return to Ruin reached the Proficient Realm, strengthening his physique to Ninth-Order Peak level and granting him part of the Body Merged with Heaven and Earth trait.

• Chen Fei created a tenfold Time Hut around the Night Demon War Soldier and planned to use it to gain control of the Space Heavenly Dao in just over five months.
• Chang Nahai lent Sui Bingqing his Bright Smoke Mirror, and she left to confront the evil thing that had escaped her before.

Chen Fei used the Night Demon War Soldier’s Time Hut to accelerate his cultivation, causing Nan Caiming to realize his Space Heavenly Dao was being drained much faster and search the Profound Wind Realm for the thief. Meanwhile, Sui Bingqing attacked Chen Fei in Qiankun City, but he met her full-force strike head-on and sent her flying.

• The Night Demon War Soldier refined the Azure Nether Divine Wood, reached Mid-Stage Ninth-Order, and helped Chen Fei cultivate inside a tenfold Time Hut.
• Nan Caiming sensed the Space Heavenly Dao draining rapidly, searched the Profound Wind Realm without finding the thief, and decided to seek help from the Karma Dao Ancestor.
• Sui Bingqing secretly entered Human Race Territory and attacked the Night Demon War Soldier, whose Mid-Stage Ninth-Order body cracked under her sword strike.
• Chen Fei confronted Sui Bingqing and taunted her about the treasure she wanted.
• Sui Bingqing attacked Chen Fei with the Gluttonous Tear Sword, but Chen Fei manifested two heads and four arms, combined their strength, and hurled her away.

Chen Fei overwhelmed Sui Bingqing with his physical strength and successive techniques, forcing her to retreat behind the Star River Diagram. When his relentless attacks depleted most of the treasure’s power, Sui Bingqing abandoned it and unleashed the Bright Smoke Mirror’s counterattack.

• Chen Fei struck Sui Bingqing with Three Heads Six Arms and sent her flying, despite her higher cultivation.
• Sui Bingqing attacked Chen Fei’s divine soul with the Gluttonous Tear sword intent, but his Soul Scorching Fierce Flames countered it and injured her when she tried to swallow them.
• Chen Fei shattered Sui Bingqing’s sword shadows and drove her back with his fists, while the Star River Diagram protected her from the blow.
• Sui Bingqing tried to flee, but Chen Fei caught up, stood on the Star River Diagram, and refused her pleas for mercy.
• Chen Fei battered the Star River Diagram until its power was nearly exhausted, so Sui Bingqing replaced it with the Bright Smoke Mirror and unleashed a storm of fist seals.

Chen Fei killed Sui Bingqing after countering her attempt to turn his attacks against him with the Bright Smoke Mirror, then gained an incomplete sword art and tested the Night Demon War Soldier’s ability to form a supreme Black Tortoise array. Sui Bingqing’s death set the Amber Clan and Chang Nahai in motion, while Nan Caiming arrived at the Karma Dao Ancestor’s domain.

• Sui Bingqing tried to use the Bright Smoke Mirror to turn Chen Fei’s stored attacks against him, but Chen Fei anticipated her move, escaped with the Space Heavenly Dao, and struck her while she was frozen by a time subordinate rule.
• Chen Fei killed Sui Bingqing, took her treasures, and learned from her memories about the Bright Smoke Mirror and the incomplete Gluttonous Tear Sword Art.
• Chen Fei had the Night Demon War Soldier combine three top-grade Black Tortoise formations into a Ninth-Order Supreme Grand Array, then stored the array in a Space Grid.
• The Amber Clan learned that Sui Bingqing had died and traced her actions to the human race of the Profound Spirit Domain.
• Chang Nahai discovered that his mark on the Bright Smoke Mirror had been erased and headed for Yandang Cliff.
• Nan Caiming arrived at Solitary Illumination Island, the Karma Dao Ancestor’s domain.

Nan Caiming sought Ni Zhongli’s help to find the cultivator who had stolen the Space Heavenly Dao, and agreed to give him one percent of its authority in exchange. Ni Zhongli began tracing the thief through the Karma Heavenly Dao, leaving both Dao Ancestors searching through the Ruin Realm.

• Nan Caiming arrived at Solitary Illumination Island and asked Ni Zhongli to help find the thief who had stolen the Space Heavenly Dao.
• Ni Zhongli hesitated, wary of the danger and the upheaval surrounding the imminent Path to Immortality.
• Nan Caiming offered to support Ni Zhongli on the Path to Immortality, then asked him to name a condition for helping.
• Ni Zhongli demanded thirty percent of the Space Heavenly Dao Authority, but Nan Caiming refused and offered one percent instead.
• Ni Zhongli accepted the one-percent offer and used the Karma Heavenly Dao to trace cultivators connected to the Space Heavenly Dao.
• Nan Caiming let Ni Zhongli capture his Aura, and the two began shuttling through the void of the Ruin Realm.

Chen Fei used the Time Rule Crystal to evade Ni Zhongli and Nan Caiming’s attempt to trace the theft of Space Heavenly Dao Authority, leaving them unable to reach his future self. Meanwhile, Chang Nahai learned that Sui Bingqing had died while targeting Chen Fei and grew suspicious of how an Early-Stage Ninth-Order could have caused her death.

• Nan Caiming gave Ni Zhongli ten percent of the Space Heavenly Dao Authority in exchange for helping trace the thief who had taken some of it.
• Chen Fei’s Time Rule Crystal warned him that Nan Caiming and Ni Zhongli threatened the Profound Spirit Domain, so he used the crystal’s power to protect himself.
• Ni Zhongli used the Karma Heavenly Dao to track the thief but found that the figure remained beyond reach; he determined that the thief was several hundred years in the future.
• Nan Caiming asked whether Ni Zhongli had another way to find the thief after they concluded the figure’s temporal distance could not be crossed.
• Chang Nahai arrived at the Amber Clan’s main city and learned from Sui Songshun that Sui Bingqing had died after going to kill Chen Fei.
• Chang Nahai read Chen Fei’s information and questioned how an Early-Stage Ninth-Order could have contributed to Sui Bingqing’s death.

Chang Nahai and the Amber Clan debated how to avenge Sui Bingqing without risking their clan against an unknown enemy. Meanwhile, Nan Caiming resolved to hunt those he suspected of stealing the Space Heavenly Dao, and Ni Zhongli offered a possible way to find the culprit’s true body.

• Chang Nahai told Sui Songshun that Sui Bingqing’s killer might not have been the Ninth-Order human and warned that pursuing an unknown foe could endanger the Amber Clan.
• Sui Songshun said the Amber Clan had sent stewards to investigate the Profound Spirit Domain and search for traces of Sui Bingqing’s Dao Dissipation.
• Chang Nahai agreed to wait with the Amber Clan for more information, despite his anger over losing the Bright Smoke Mirror.
• Nan Caiming decided to kill any Ninth-Order Supreme Realm cultivator he suspected of stealing the Space Heavenly Dao.
• Ni Zhongli said Heaven Derivation Forty-Nine was imperfect and offered a method that might reveal the thief’s true body, though he could not guarantee success.

Ni Zhongli broadened his karmic search for the thief who stole the Space Heavenly Dao and finally found a promising clue. But when he tried to follow it, the Karma Heavenly Dao warned that continuing could lead to his death in the future, leaving him to weigh whether to pursue the thief or stop.

• Ni Zhongli expanded his search from the thief’s close connections to a vast range of cultivators, while Nan Caiming watched and hoped to learn the thief’s identity.
• Ni Zhongli found a subtle change in the void and began narrowing the search, raising Nan Caiming’s hopes that the thief could be tracked down.
• As Ni Zhongli continued deducing, he felt a warning that pursuing information about the thief could bring him a fatal disaster.
• Ni Zhongli considered whether the warning showed that the thief would gain the power to kill him in the future and struggled to decide whether to continue.
• In the Profound Spirit Domain, Chen Fei suddenly raised his head.

Chen Fei prepared a hidden revival plan in the Space Grid in case Ni Zhongli killed him, triggering a momentary death omen that made Ni Zhongli abandon his pursuit. Ni Zhongli told Nan Caiming he had failed to find the thief, leaving Nan Caiming suspicious of what Ni Zhongli had discovered.

• Chen Fei foresaw a possible future in which Ni Zhongli attacked him over the Time Rule and realized he could not escape or withstand a Dao Ancestor.
• Chen Fei placed his Divine Blessing Revival spiritual light inside the Space Grid and commanded it to awaken and restore him after a hundred years if he was erased.
• Ni Zhongli experienced a brief, overwhelming omen of his own death while considering whether to continue deducing the thief's whereabouts.
• Ni Zhongli decided the danger outweighed the temptation of the Time Rule and told Nan Caiming he could not find the thief.
• Nan Caiming said Ni Zhongli had clearly found a clue, but Ni Zhongli denied it.

Nan Caiming accepted that Ni Zhongli would no longer help him and prepared to hunt suspicious Ninth-Order Supreme Realm cultivators to find the thief who stole his Space Heavenly Dao. Meanwhile, Chen Fei avoided the crisis, advanced the Black Tortoise Sword Art to Great Perfection, and began cultivating the Clear Sky Heavenly Dao as the Amber Clan received a report of suspected heavenly tribulation fluctuations in the Profound Spirit Domain.

• Ni Zhongli returned Nan Caiming's Space Heavenly Dao Authority, accepted his Ninth-Order Supreme Spiritual Materials, and agreed to keep the matter secret.
• Nan Caiming rejected seeking the Fate Dao Ancestor's help and summoned his clan's Ninth-Order Supreme Realm cultivators to obtain a list of suspicious targets.
• Chen Fei fused the Black Tortoise Source Incantation and Gluttonous Tear Sword Art into the Black Tortoise Sword Art and cultivated it alongside Dragon Elephant Return to Ruin and the Frost Heavenly Dao.
• Chen Fei used Sui Bingqing's spiritual essence and Essence Crystal Spirit Materials to bring the Black Tortoise Sword Art to Great Perfection, then assigned its cultivation slot to the Clear Sky Heavenly Dao.
• An Amber Clan steward reported that the Haze Race and Cang Clan had detected suspected heavenly tribulation fluctuations in the Profound Spirit Domain.

Chang Nahai proposed using the Willow Clan’s Admonishment Mountain to investigate who killed Sui Bingqing, and Sui Songshun asked whether Chen Fei was responsible. After the mountain consumed fifteen million Top-Grade Essence Crystals without producing an answer, the clans realized that the lack of a result was itself revealing.

• Sui Songshun and the other Amber Clan experts reviewed a report that suggested a heavenly tribulation had appeared in the Profound Spirit Domain, but did not identify who caused it.
• Chang Nahai said they needed either a Ninth-Order Peak expert or a treasure capable of hiding from one, then proposed using Admonishment Mountain to investigate.
• Chang Nahai led Sui Songshun and the other Amber Clan experts to Nine Bend Island, where the Willow Clan showed them Admonishment Mountain.
• Sui Songshun wrote on the mountain wall the question of whether Chen Fei had killed Sui Bingqing, and the Amber Clan supplied Top-Grade Essence Crystals as the mountain absorbed them.
• After consuming fifteen million Top-Grade Essence Crystals, Admonishment Mountain produced no words, and the Amber and Willow Clan experts understood that the failed deduction itself conveyed an answer.

Chang Nahai, Sui Songshun, and the other Late-Stage Ninth-Orders learned that Chen Fei possessed Ninth-Order Peak power and debated whether to seize his supreme treasure. They rejected a direct attack, while Zhao Wenxu began plotting to involve a powerful figure from the Ruin Realm’s core region; Chen Fei finished consuming the Essence Crystal Spirit Material in Qiankun City.

• Admonishment Mountain failed to deduce Chen Fei’s strength beyond confirming that he wielded Ninth-Order Peak power, alarming Chang Nahai, Sui Songshun, and the others.
• Zhao Wenxu urged the Willow Clan and Amber Clan to join forces against Chen Fei, but Chang Nahai, Sui Songshun, and the Willow Clan’s other Late-Stage Ninth-Orders refused to risk a direct attack.
• Sui Songshun and the three other Amber Clan members hurried back to Yandang Cliff, while the Willow Clan discussed guarding Nine Bend Island in case Chen Fei sought revenge.
• Zhao Wenxu, tempted by Chen Fei’s supreme treasure, considered how to lead the threat eastward and thought of a Ninth-Order Peak expert from the Ruin Realm’s core region.
• Chen Fei opened his eyes in Qiankun City after consuming all the Essence Crystal Spirit Material in the hall.

Chen Fei strengthened his physique and advanced his grasp of the Space Heavenly Dao while the human and Xian races flourished. Nan Caiming’s hunt for the thief stealing his Authority killed dozens of innocent Ninth-Order experts, leaving the Ruin Realm on guard against him as Chen Fei’s control of space continued to grow.

• Chen Fei used the Panel to raise Dragon Elephant Return to Ruin and continued cultivating the Frost, Clear Sky, and Space Heavenly Daos in the Time Hut.
• Qu Qingsheng and Chen Fei’s other friends from the Endless Sea reached the Sky Opening Realm, and Chen Fei attended their breakthrough ceremony and gave them gifts.
• Shi Ding An survived the Reaching Heaven Tribulation and became the Xian Race’s first Ninth-Order cultivator, while the race remained beside Qiankun City.
• Chen Fei raised his Authority over the Space Heavenly Dao to a little over thirty percent during the month in Qiankun City.
• Nan Caiming killed more than thirty Ninth-Order experts while searching for the thief draining his Space Heavenly Dao Authority, but none of his victims were responsible.
• Other powerful races discovered Nan Caiming’s killings and grew wary of him, though his control of the Space Heavenly Dao made him difficult to kill.
