• Wei Ziyu warned Luan Jingtong that entering the newly transforming plane would be dangerous, and Luan Jingtong ultimately held back.

Chen Fei became the Realm Lord of Ruin Realm, gained control of its Heavenly Dao, and learned how the realm’s power could grow through its connection to Mystic Feather World. He revived the Source Race and reunited Yan with Qiong, while Luan Jingtong considered using the Primordial Demons to take revenge on him.

After learning about the Mystic Feather World and its Primordial Demons, Chen Fei entered the world carrying the Ruin Realm and discovered that his plane slowed him down. The Xuanyuan Sword Scar began resonating with a distant place just as a group of Primordial Demons approached, leaving Chen Fei facing them while considering the Space Grid.

• Chen Fei read the memories of seven Sky Brilliance Pavilion cultivators and learned about the Mystic Feather World, its factions, and the Primordial Demons.

• The Xuanyuan Sword Scar began resonating with a distant place, and Chen Fei sensed Primordial Demons approaching.
• Chen Fei stopped and turned his gaze toward the Space Grid as the Primordial Demons drew near.

Chen Fei discovered he could alter the Space Grid’s time stasis, allowing him to store the Ruin Realm and shed its burden without abandoning its people. He headed for Empty Spirit City while the primal demons pursued him, confident that his speed and Night Demon War Soldier could keep him safe.

• Chen Fei weighed abandoning the Ruin Realm to escape the Elemental Demons but refused to risk the realm and everyone within it.
• Chen Fei used the Ruin Realm’s Time Rule to change the Space Grid, then stored the Ruin Realm inside it and regained his mobility.
• Chen Fei realized he could use the stored Ruin Realm to strike at Realm Lords inside their own planes while keeping his own plane protected in the Space Grid.
• Chen Fei chose to travel to Empty Spirit City, a neutral gathering place for the Azure Glow Domain’s factions, before deciding which faction to join.
• Chen Fei used the Space Heavenly Dao to race toward Empty Spirit City as primal demons pursued him, knowing he could deploy the Night Demon War Soldier if needed.

Chen Fei reached Empty Spirit City and joined Ling Xiao Pavilion, choosing it for its generous stipend and extensive collection of cultivation techniques. Zhu Shiyu welcomed him and gave him access to the Books Collection Pavilion, where Chen Fei began examining the Great Dao Art.

• Chen Fei escaped the pursuing Essence Demons and arrived at Empty Spirit City, where his Realm Lord Aura drew the attention of several factions.
• Six major forces and other factions offered Chen Fei terms for joining, and he selected Ling Xiao Pavilion for its stipend and renowned collection of techniques and classics.
• Zhu Shiyu welcomed Chen Fei, gave him a Jade Token containing ten thousand Low-Grade Immortal Crystals, and led him to the Books Collection Pavilion.
• Zhu Shiyu handed Chen Fei the Great Dao Art, the cultivation technique used by most Realm Lords, and Chen Fei prepared to begin cultivating it.

Chen Fei learned from Zhu Shiyu that Realm Lord cultivation depended on vast numbers of Great Dao Stones and rare breakthrough treasures, and studied methods for accumulating those resources. He left the Books Collection Pavilion understanding that advancing beyond the Realm Lord Realm Peak would require a Heaven and Earth Status Rank, obtained by fighting in a Secret Realm.

• Zhu Shiyu gave Chen Fei the Great Dao Art and Five Elements True Understanding, explaining why cultivation in the Mystic Feather World had to proceed carefully to avoid becoming a Primordial Demon.
• Zhu Shiyu explained that advancing through the Realm Lord Realm required 1,296 Great Dao Stones per stage, and showed Chen Fei manuals that could condense them, including the Heavenly Comprehension Art.
• Zhu Shiyu told Chen Fei that breaking through to the Realm Lord Realm Middle Stage also required a Chaos Leaf or a similar supreme treasure found in a Secret Realm.
• After Zhu Shiyu left, Chen Fei read manuals in the Books Collection Pavilion and learned that reaching a higher realm beyond the Realm Lord Realm Peak required a Heaven and Earth Status Rank won in a Secret Realm.

After studying Ling Xiao Pavilion’s manuals, Chen Fei learned more about Mystic Feather World’s cultivation and created the Great Dao Sword Chapter by merging the techniques on his Panel. He began cultivating it in Ruin Realm, rapidly reaching the Proficient Realm, but had exhausted his immortal crystals and still lacked Great Dao Stones.

• Chen Fei spent more than ten days reading every manual and historical classic in Ling Xiao Pavilion’s Books Collection Pavilion, learning about Essence Fiends and the role of Natural Material Treasures in cultivation.
• Chen Fei discovered that some powerful techniques could bypass the Chaos Leaf requirement, but Ling Xiao Pavilion did not have them, so Zhu Shiyu advised him to seek techniques at the Profound Mystery Association.
• Chen Fei returned to his courtyard, entered Ruin Realm, and merged the techniques he had acquired into the Great Dao Sword Chapter.
• Chen Fei simplified the new technique into the Chaotic Sky Sword Chapter, spending all ten thousand immortal crystals in the process.
• Chen Fei drew spiritual inspiration from Ruin Realm and quickly raised his Great Dao Sword Chapter insights to the Proficient Realm.

Chen Fei perfected the Great Dao Sword Chapter, greatly improving his combat strength and ability to absorb Great Dao Particles, but he lacked the resources needed to advance further. After testing how quickly he could condense a Great Dao Stone, he found that using the Night Demon War Soldier cut the time from ninety years to thirty.

• Chen Fei cultivated the Great Dao Sword Chapter to the Great Perfection Realm in less than fifteen minutes, increasing his combat strength by more than thirty percent.
• Chen Fei checked on the Ruin Realm and found that Qiu Gongzhi was preparing to break through to the Eighth-Order Creation Realm as the human race advanced rapidly.
• Back in Empty Spirit City, Chen Fei absorbed Great Dao Particles until his essence energy and divine soul could hold no more, then realized he lacked the resources needed to progress.
• Chen Fei tested condensing a Great Dao Stone and estimated that doing so alone would take about ninety years.
• Chen Fei summoned the Night Demon War Soldier to help absorb Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, reducing the time to condense one Great Dao Stone to thirty years.

Chen Fei sought ways to condense Great Dao stones faster, acquired a risky technique and six more manuals, then integrated their methods into the Great Dao Sword Chapter. He returned to Empty Spirit City ready to resume condensing his Great Dao stone.

• Chen Fei visited Zhu Shiyu and revealed that he had already learned to condense Great Dao stones, asking how to speed up the process.
• Zhu Shiyu gave Chen Fei the Great Dao Stone Derivation manual, warned that it consumed the user's foundation, and lent him thirty thousand Low-Grade Immortal Crystals.
• Chen Fei spent the Immortal Crystals on six manuals at the Profound Mystery Association.
• Chen Fei integrated all seven manuals into the Great Dao Sword Chapter and quickly cultivated it back to the Great Perfection Realm.
• Chen Fei returned to his courtyard and summoned the embryonic Great Dao stone he had previously begun condensing.

Chen Fei discovered that combining the Great Dao Stone Derivation secret art with his Night Demon War Soldier let him condense Great Dao Stones far faster, though the process drained their sources. As Chen Fei considered improving the method and refining the stones, Luan Jingtong struggled to find a way to kill him and avenge Luan Xianyuan.

• Chen Fei used the fused secret art to condense a Great Dao Stone in an hour, nearly draining the Night Demon War Soldier to death before the Status Panel Backup helped it recover.
• Chen Fei and the Night Demon War Soldier worked together, condensing a Great Dao Stone in half an hour and recovering their strength in less than five hours.
• Chen Fei judged that the stones could quickly advance his cultivation and considered prioritizing his physique, then began testing whether refining a Great Dao Stone would deepen his source and speed up condensation.
• Luan Jingtong learned that the new Realm Lord in Empty Spirit City was Chen Fei, who had killed Luan Xianyuan, and confirmed that Chen Fei possessed a plane.
• Luan Jingtong could not devise a way to kill Chen Fei because he could not break through a tenth-rank plane on his own.

Chen Fei sold one Great Dao Stone and bought six ordinary body-tempering cultivation techniques to improve his control over his strengthened body. As he returned to his courtyard, powerful figures in the Azure Glow Domain suspected a new Secret Realm had drawn an unusually large horde of Primordial Demons.

• After smelting two hundred Great Dao Stones into his body, Chen Fei stopped tempering because Dragon Elephant Return to Ruin could no longer adequately control his strength.
• Chen Fei sold one Great Dao Stone to a small shop in Empty Spirit City for nine hundred thousand Low-Grade Immortal Crystals.
• Chen Fei bought all six body-tempering cultivation techniques the shopkeeper had collected, spending less than twenty thousand Low-Grade Immortal Crystals.
• Chen Fei went to the Profound Mystery Association intending to spend no more than fifty thousand Low-Grade Immortal Crystals on additional techniques.
• Several powerful figures in the Azure Glow Domain saw an unusually large number of Primordial Demons and suspected a new Secret Realm had let them pass the Cold Mountain Domain's defenses.
• Chen Fei finished shopping and hurried back to his courtyard.

Chen Fei fused several body-tempering inheritances into the Sky Bearing Return to Ruin Art, improving his control and combat power as he refined Great Dao Stones in Empty Spirit City. After Ling Xiao Pavilion’s master remained occupied by rising Primordial Demon activity, Chen Fei stayed in the city until his identity Jade Pendant summoned him to the pavilion’s base.

• Chen Fei merged the body-tempering arts into the Sky Bearing Return to Ruin Art, retaining Three Heads Six Arms and emphasizing strength.
• Chen Fei simplified and rapidly cultivated the new art to Great Perfection, restoring precise control of his physique and increasing his combat power.
• Chen Fei spent three months refining Great Dao Stones while sensing that Primordial Demons were becoming more active across the Azure Glow Domain.
• Chen Fei chose to remain in Empty Spirit City because its defenses and mobility could respond to Primordial Demons, and the Profound Mystery Association showed no signs of alarm.
• After another month, Chen Fei’s Jade Pendant summoned him to Ling Xiao Pavilion’s base, where he met the other Enshrined Elders left in the city.

Chen Fei accompanied Zhu Shiyu to guard Ling Xiao Pavilion’s Primal Fiend Meat Pool in Dan Village Valley, where they were promised a Great Dao Stone for each year of service. After eight months of cultivation there, Chen Fei had nearly one thousand Great Dao Stones in his physique, bringing him close to the Realm Lord Realm Initial Stage Peak.

• Zhu Shiyu explained that Chen Fei had been assigned with him to reinforce Dan Village Valley, a Primal Fiend Meat Pool guarded by Ling Xiao Pavilion.
• Zhu Shiyu told Chen Fei that the Cold Mountain Domain had sent experts to suppress the rising number of Primal Fiends, and that they could withdraw if the mission became too dangerous.
• Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu flew to Dan Village Valley, where Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian welcomed them after checking their mission Jade Pendant.
• Chen Fei noticed that Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian had strange auras, then learned the valley’s Primal Fiend Meat Pool emitted frenzied fluctuations that affected cultivators below the Realm Lord level.
• Chen Fei spent eight months cultivating while guarding the valley, raising the Great Dao Stones in his physique to nearly one thousand.

Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian revealed that they had been cultivating with Essence Qi from the Primal Fiend Meat Pool, which they fed cultivators to strengthen. As their greed turned toward sacrificing Realm Lords, they planned to weaken Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu and feed them to the pool, while the Azure Glow Domain’s forces slowly pushed back the Primal Fiends; four months later, Chen Fei’s physique reached a critical point.

• Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian discussed how refining the Meat Pool’s Ink-colored Essence Qi loosened their bottlenecks and how Ninth-Order cultivators no longer produced enough Essence Qi.
• Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian concluded that the pool needed a Realm Lord and agreed that two Realm Lord Initial Stage deaths could help them reach the Middle Stage.
• Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian planned to weaken Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu in Dan Village Valley City, then feed them to the pool, potentially along with Chen Fei’s entire plane.
• Cold Mountain Domain sent more than a dozen Earth God Realm experts and hundreds of powerful cultivators to help suppress Primal Fiends in Azure Glow Domain and investigate the new Secret Realm.
• Four months passed, and Chen Fei’s physique reached a critical point inside his courtyard’s Quiet Chamber.

Chen Fei forced his physique through a breakthrough to the Realm Lord Realm Middle Stage by using the Night Demon War Soldier’s power to overcome the Mystic Feather World’s restrictions. He succeeded without a Secret Realm treasure and began condensing Great Dao Stones.

• Chen Fei tried to advance his physique beyond the Realm Lord Realm Initial Stage Peak, but the transformation consumed his origin power faster than he could replenish it.
• The strain caused Chen Fei’s flesh and blood to begin devouring itself, threatening to spread aberration to his elemental energy and divine soul.
• Chen Fei sent the Night Demon War Soldier’s power into his body, using its strength to supply the stalled transformation before the soldier collapsed.
• Chen Fei broke through to the Realm Lord Realm Middle Stage as his Great Dao Stones fused into a Great Dao Imprint within his flesh and blood.
• Chen Fei restored the Night Demon War Soldier with the Panel’s backup, then began condensing Great Dao Stones and reacted with surprise.

Chen Fei increased his Great Dao Stone production after his physique reached the Realm Lord Realm Middle Stage, then learned to balance its growth with his essence force and divine soul to prevent aberration. After Zhu Shiyu invited him to a banquet, Chen Fei learned that Wu and Ren wanted to discuss exploring a newly appeared Secret Realm.

• Chen Fei discovered that his stronger physique reduced Great Dao Particle loss and helped him produce four Great Dao Stones a day with the Night Demon War Soldier.
• Chen Fei set a cultivation policy of balancing Great Dao Stones between his physique, essence force, and divine soul to avoid losing control and transforming into a Primordial Demon.
• Over two months, Chen Fei condensed more than two hundred Great Dao Stones and found that after smelting eighty into his physique, his divine soul could no longer fully control its power.
• Chen Fei smelted eighty Great Dao Stones into his essence force and divine soul, restoring control and establishing a balanced proportion for his cultivation.
• Zhu Shiyu invited Chen Fei to a banquet hosted by Wu and Ren, who wanted to invite them to explore a newly appeared Secret Realm.
