Chapter Summaries

Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu accepted an invitation from Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian, who claimed they would share their power in the Secret Realm. When Zhu Shiyu sensed a trap and tried to escape, the pair attacked them, but Chen Fei stopped Ren Zhonglian’s hammer despite his own power being severely weakened.

• Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian invited Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu to join them in the newly emerged Secret Realm, promising a way to fuse their power.
• Chen Fei sensed something strange about Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian, while Zhu Shiyu became wary when Wu Gengdian revealed a round disk that disturbed the city formation.

• Wu Gengdian weakened Zhu Shiyu’s elemental energy and struck him with the All Sky Blade, sending him flying.
• Ren Zhonglian attacked Chen Fei with the King Yama Hammer, but Chen Fei caught it with one hand despite his severely weakened elemental energy.

Chen Fei overwhelmed Ren Zhonglian with his Realm Lord Realm Middle Stage physique and killed him despite the Primal Fiend power sustaining his body. Wu Gengdian fled toward Dan Village Valley but was intercepted by Chen Fei as the valley’s Ink-colored Essence Qi surged around them.

• Chen Fei crushed the King Yama Hammer in his grip, then kicked Ren Zhonglian hard enough to shatter his arms and leave him gravely injured.
• Ren Zhonglian drew on Ink-colored Essence Qi to recover, while Zhu Shiyu warned Chen Fei that Ren Zhonglian and Wu Gengdian had become Primal Fiends.
• Chen Fei smashed Ren Zhonglian with the King Yama Hammer, pulverizing his body and killing him despite the Primal Fiend power trying to restore him.
• Chen Fei struck Ren Zhonglian’s writhing Blood Mist again, leaving it motionless, while Wu Gengdian fled toward Dan Village Valley.
• Chen Fei intercepted Wu Gengdian, who transformed into a Primal Fiend as Ink-colored Essence Qi surged from the valley and enveloped them both.

Chen Fei killed the primal fiends Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian, then explained his overwhelming strength to Zhu Shiyu as the result of a rare physique talent. After they returned to Empty Spirit City, Chen Fei went back to his courtyard to assess what he had gained.

• Chen Fei crushed Wu Gengdian with the King Yama Hammer and extracted spiritual essence from both Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian.
• Zhu Shiyu told Chen Fei they should report the incident at Dan Village Valley to the Pavilion Master and arrange for a stronger Realm Lord to inspect the Primal Fiend Meat Pool.
• Chen Fei told Zhu Shiyu that refining a fruit from a Reaching Heaven Tree had changed his physique, giving Zhu Shiyu an explanation for his strength.
• Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu traveled back to Empty Spirit City, where Zhu Shiyu reported the situation to Ling Xiao Pavilion's other leaders.
• Chen Fei returned to his courtyard and began reviewing the gains from the trip.

Chen Fei purified Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian’s spiritual essences, then used their resources to strengthen his elemental power and divine soul and eliminate the danger of aberration. After Ling Xiao Pavilion accepted his account of Dan Village Valley and rewarded him, he went to the Profound Mystery Association to seek restricted cultivation techniques.

• Chen Fei extracted sixty Great Dao Stones from each of Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian’s spiritual essences using the Space Grid.
• While reviewing his cultivation, Chen Fei realized that keeping his physique near the edge of aberration resembled the risky behavior that had corrupted Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian.
• Chen Fei fused more than eighteen million Low-Grade Immortal Crystals and over four hundred Great Dao Stones into his elemental power and divine soul, restoring his control and peace of mind.
• A Ling Xiao Pavilion Realm Lord Realm Peak expert concluded that the Primal Fiend Meat Pool had consumed cultivators and that Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian had turned fiendish; Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu each received thirty Great Dao Stones.
• Chen Fei went to the Profound Mystery Association and asked to see its restricted cultivation techniques.

Chen Fei bought three movement-related techniques from the Profound Mystery Association and used his Panel and spiritual opportunity to cultivate them. He left the Wind Surging Sword Canon at Great Perfection, where it began transforming his elemental energy and divine soul toward greater talent.

• Chen Fei examined the Nine Revolutions Mystic Wind Canon and learned that its Mystic Wind Trait requirement and sharp elemental energy made it difficult and risky to cultivate.
• Chen Fei asked about movement-focused Earth God Skills, then bought the Nine Revolutions Mystic Wind Canon, the Icy Surging Stream Tactic, and the Wind God Guard for twenty-three Great Dao Stones.
• Chen Fei merged the Nine Revolutions Mystic Wind Canon with his existing techniques to create the Wind Surging Sword Canon, then simplified both new techniques with his Panel.
• Chen Fei cultivated in the Ruin Realm Void, bringing the Wind Surging Sword Canon to Great Perfection and the Wind God Guard to Proficient.
• Chen Fei felt his elemental energy and divine soul begin transforming as the Wind Surging Sword Canon took effect.

Chen Fei cultivated Wind God Guard to Great Perfection and spent five months refining Great Dao Stones while the Primordial Demon war in the Azure Glow Domain neared its end. When cultivators entered a newly discovered Secret Realm rich in dangerous treasures, Zhu Shiyu asked Chen Fei to accompany him, but Chen Fei still lacked enough Great Dao Stones.

• Chen Fei completed Wind God Guard in just over an hour, greatly improving his movement speed.
• Chen Fei stayed in Empty Spirit City for five months, refining 1,147 Great Dao Stones as the Primordial Demon war killed many cultivators and left the Ling Xiao Pavilion Master heavily injured.
• Azure Glow Domain and Cold Mountain Domain cultivators found both entrances to the Secret Realm, and the Primordial Demons had already fled from it.
• Cultivators entered the large Secret Realm, where dangerous treasures remained after the Primordial Demons destroyed easier-to-harvest ones.
• Zhu Shiyu asked Chen Fei to take him into the Secret Realm, explaining that he wanted treasures to advance his cultivation.

Chen Fei agreed to enter the large Secret Realm with Zhu Shiyu, where they encountered a rival from Red Lotus Valley before entering together. Inside, they found a strange forest revealing an Ink Lotus, and Chen Fei sent his Night Demon War Soldier to investigate it.

• Chen Fei told Zhu Shiyu he would explore the Secret Realm, and they flew from Empty Spirit City toward its entrance.
• Sun Shijing of Red Lotus Valley mocked Zhu Shiyu outside the entrance, then departed with other Red Lotus Valley Realm Lords.
• Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu anchored themselves together and entered the Secret Realm, where Chen Fei stabilized quickly and sensed that the Ruin Realm was weakened.
• A towering forest revealed a lake and a white lotus that Zhu Shiyu thought resembled an Ink Lotus.
• Chen Fei sent his Night Demon War Soldier toward the lotus, surprising Zhu Shiyu with the clone's Realm Lord Realm Early Stage Aura.

Chen Fei explained why he used the Night Demon War Soldier instead of cultivating a true clone, then sent it to probe the Ink Lotus’s defenses in the Secret Realm. Meanwhile, an Earth God Realm Primordial Demon attacked Empty Spirit City with a devouring Tree Sapling, forcing Kuang Gongze to flee with the city.

• Chen Fei told Zhu Shiyu that the Night Demon War Soldier could follow his cultivation but was safer than a true clone because it could be sacrificed without risking its soul being captured.
• The Night Demon War Soldier tested the Ink Lotus, sensed hidden branches through the feedback from its scattered origin energy, and severed the traps with the King Yama Sword.
• A Black Shadow appeared in Empty Spirit City and threw a dark-green seed toward the Ten Thousand Forges Lightning, overpowering the city’s martial general when he tried to stop it.
• Kuang Gongze intercepted the seed, but it grew into a Tree Sapling that drew in Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and threatened every living being in the city except Primordial Demons.
• The Black Shadow revealed himself as a Primordial Demon and repelled Kuang Gongze’s attack, so Kuang Gongze activated his Heaven and Earth Status Rank and fled with Empty Spirit City as the Ten Thousand Forges Lightning struck at the enemy.

Black Shadow crippled Empty Spirit City and drove Kuang Gongze to destroy his Heaven and Earth Status Rank to escape. The other Earth God Realm experts discovered that the Demon Tree grew stronger by absorbing their attacks and began bearing fruit, while Chen Fei pulled the Ink Lotus from the lake in the Secret Realm.

• Black Shadow struck Empty Spirit City with the Tree Sapling, shattering its defenses and causing many cultivators inside to die or mutate.
• Kuang Gongze gathered Empty Spirit City's power and fought Black Shadow, but shattered his Heaven and Earth Status Rank to break free and flee.
• Gu Hongtao and the other Earth God Realm powerhouses found Empty Spirit City's wreckage beside a towering Demon Tree, then watched it regrow after they destroyed it.
• The Earth God Realm powerhouses realized the Demon Tree absorbed their attacks and began bearing fruits with auras resembling cultivators, so Gu Hongtao ordered them to stop attacking.
• In the Secret Realm, Chen Fei bypassed the Demon Forest's branches and yanked the Ink Lotus from the lake.

Chen Fei subdued the Demon Forest, refined the Ink Lotus, and followed signs of a supreme treasure to an abyss where more than a hundred Realm Lords had gathered. As the barrier neared opening, he recognized Luan Jingtong of Sky Brilliance Pavilion, who ordered Wei Ziyu to help kill him.

• Chen Fei destroyed the Demon Forest's attack, took the Ink Lotus, and refined it until his cultivation reached its peak value of 1,296 Great Dao Stones.
• Chen Fei sensed an unusual stirring connected to Empty Spirit City, then used his mastery of wind to locate a likely supreme treasure with Zhu Shiyu.
• Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu reached an abyss surrounded by over a hundred Realm Lords, including cultivators from Red Lotus Valley and the tyrannical Lu Yilin.
• Zhu Shiyu raised his cultivation to the Realm Lord Realm Initial Stage Peak, while Chen Fei refined gathered Great Dao Stones into his physique and felt the burden on his divine soul increase.
• Luan Jingtong and Wei Ziyu arrived with Sky Brilliance Pavilion; Chen Fei told Zhu Shiyu that he had killed Luan Jingtong's descendant, Luan Xianyuan.
• Luan Jingtong told Wei Ziyu to help kill Chen Fei, noting that the Secret Realm suppressed a Realm Lord's personal plane.

Chen Fei entered the abyss with Zhu Shiyu to search for the supreme treasure containing Heaven and Earth Status Rank, but the abyss separated them and filled the area with monsters and deceptive illusions. After killing a fake Zhu Shiyu, Chen Fei found the real Zhu Shiyu and struck him down as well, leaving his reason unclear.

• Wei Ziyu agreed to help Luan Jingtong kill Chen Fei while Chen Fei waited calmly for the abyss barrier to open.
• The barrier vanished, and Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu entered the abyss, where its rules separated them.
• Chen Fei found Zhu Shiyu fighting a monster, and the monster fled when Chen Fei arrived.
• A convincing fake Zhu Shiyu pointed Chen Fei toward a monster-filled area, so Chen Fei killed him and realized he was an illusion.
• The real Zhu Shiyu approached Chen Fei cautiously and began telling him he had encountered a fake Chen Fei, but Chen Fei suddenly smashed his head apart.

Jing Zongchao and several cultivators fell victim to monsters that impersonated their companions in the misty abyss. Chen Fei found Zhu Shiyu and destroyed two impostors before revealing the astonishing power of his Earth God Skill, though Zhu Shiyu still faced danger in the abyss.

• Jing Zongchao was stabbed by a monster disguised as his blue-robed companion, while Sun Miao and Senior Brother Zhao killed Zhan Yuying after revealing themselves as impostors.
• Chen Fei killed a monster disguised as Zhu Shiyu and used a Ling Xiao Pavilion Jade Pendant to locate the real Zhu Shiyu.
• Zhu Shiyu hesitated to trust Chen Fei, but Number Two Chen Fei appeared and destroyed the first Chen Fei impostor.
• A third Chen Fei arrived and killed Number Two Chen Fei with an attack that unleashed wind-element power across hundreds of thousands of li.
• Zhu Shiyu recognized the newcomer’s overwhelming strength and hurried toward him, believing he was the real Chen Fei.

Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu used Zhu Shiyu’s sinan to track the Status Rank Supreme Treasure by absorbing the remains of monsters that imitated cultivators. After several kills narrowed the sinan’s search area, Chen Fei opened his eyes as another pair of Luan Jingtong and Wei Ziyu appeared.

• Chen Fei asked Zhu Shiyu how to locate the Status Rank Supreme Treasure, and Zhu Shiyu explained that his sinan could use monsters’ source information to find a path.
• Chen Fei led Zhu Shiyu to a mountain ridge and spread his aura as bait for the solitary imitating monsters.
• The Night Demon War Soldier killed an imitation of Luan Jingtong, and Zhu Shiyu’s sinan absorbed its remains and began to narrow its search range.
• The Night Demon War Soldier killed an imitation of Sun Shijing, causing the false silhouettes behind him to vanish as the sinan’s range narrowed further.
• Luan Jingtong and Wei Ziyu discussed repeated fake Chen Feis that had attacked them, while Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu continued tracking the treasure.
• Another pair of imitations resembling Luan Jingtong and Wei Ziyu appeared, and Zhu Shiyu saw that Chen Fei had opened his eyes.

Chen Fei fought Luan Jingtong and Wei Ziyu, two Realm Lord Realm Middle Stage cultivators, and used his strength and ability to spot flaws to withstand their attacks. As Wei Ziyu struck at Chen Fei with Zhu Shiyu shielding him, Chen Fei vanished with Wind God Guard and appeared with a sword inches from Wei Ziyu’s face.

• Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu saw Luan Jingtong and Wei Ziyu approach, and Chen Fei blocked Luan Jingtong’s first spear strike.
• Luan Jingtong and Wei Ziyu attacked together, but Chen Fei parried them and retreated without injury.
• Chen Fei sent the King Yama Sword to intercept Wei Ziyu while he struck Luan Jingtong’s spear, forcing Luan Jingtong to break free from the clash.
• Wei Ziyu attacked Chen Fei as his strength waned, and Zhu Shiyu stepped in with his shield to protect them both.
• Chen Fei used Wind God Guard to vanish and reappear with his sword inches from Wei Ziyu’s face.

Chen Fei used Wind God Guard to overwhelm Wei Ziyu and Luan Jingtong after Zhu Shiyu’s intervention disrupted their attack. He killed both Realm Lord Realm Middle Stage opponents in the abyss.

• Zhu Shiyu intervened as Wei Ziyu attacked, giving Chen Fei the opening to stab and badly wound Wei Ziyu.
• The Night Demon War Soldier used Wind God Guard to hold back Luan Jingtong while Chen Fei pursued Wei Ziyu.
• Wei Ziyu burned his Great Dao Particles and shattered his Heaven and Earth Status Rank, but Chen Fei defeated him and pierced his forehead, killing him.
• Luan Jingtong scattered spear shadows to flee, but Chen Fei saw through the escape move and struck him down with three swords.
• Luan Jingtong began to demonize and threatened Chen Fei, who pierced his neck and cut off his head.

Chen Fei killed Luan Jingtong and Wei Ziyu, learned from their memories that other Realm Lords were closing in on the abyss’s Heaven and Earth Status Rank Supreme Treasure, and hurried toward it with Zhu Shiyu. They reached a region thick with monsters, where charging ahead risked overwhelming Chen Fei despite his Wind God Guard.

• Chen Fei prevented Luan Jingtong from turning into a Primordial Demon, killed him and Wei Ziyu, and collected their spiritual essences and Realm Treasures.
• Chen Fei searched their memory fragments and learned that monsters were gathering near the supreme treasure and that other Realm Lords were heading toward it.
• Zhu Shiyu recognized Chen Fei’s extraordinary strength and resolved to stay close to him as they continued through the Secret Realm.
• Lu Yilin and two Realm Lord Realm Middle Stage cultivators traveled through the monster-filled abyss toward the supreme treasure, anticipating fierce competition and danger.
• Chen Fei killed monsters until Zhu Shiyu’s sinan pointed toward the treasure, then used Wind God Guard to carry Zhu Shiyu rapidly in that direction.
• After fifteen minutes, Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu stopped before a region crowded with monsters, where Chen Fei realized he could not safely charge through them at his current cultivation level.

Chen Fei disguised himself as a monster by partially demonizing his body, allowing him to pass through the abyss’s defenses and reach its core. He discovered that a vine on a powerful Demon Tree was the true Status Rank Supreme Treasure, but taking it would trigger a deadly fight, so he considered another way to act.

• Chen Fei sent Zhu Shiyu into the Ruin Realm and considered how to enter the abyss undetected.
• Chen Fei tested partial demonization on the Night Demon War Soldier, then demonized his own body to seventy percent and stopped the process with the Wind Surging Sword Canon.
• Chen Fei flew past the outer monsters, which mistook his disguised Aura for that of one of their own.
• Chen Fei found a towering Demon Tree surrounded by unformed monsters and identified a small vine on its trunk as the true Status Rank Supreme Treasure.
• Chen Fei judged that seizing the vine would draw attacks from the Demon Tree and surrounding monsters, and that waiting for other Realm Lords to attack could also leave him exposed.

Chen Fei disguised himself as a monster and secretly drained the vine’s Status Rank power while the Demon Tree remained unaware. When the Demon Tree finally sensed danger and attacked the arriving Realm Lords, Chen Fei continued extracting the vine’s source amid the battle.

• Chen Fei changed his aura to match the monsters, approached the Demon Tree, and tested its response by knocking down half-finished monsters and bumping its trunk.
• Chen Fei touched the vine and slowly stored its aura and power in the Space Grid without waking the vine or Demon Tree.
• After draining forty percent of the vine’s source, Chen Fei sensed the vine twitch and spotted Long Zhengling, Lu Yilin, and another Realm Lord watching from hiding.
• More Realm Lords gathered, and the Demon Tree awakened and unleashed a sweeping attack, forcing the hidden cultivators to reveal themselves.
• A Realm Lord called for everyone to slay the Demon Tree before competing for the treasure, and the cultivators struck as Chen Fei resumed drawing out the vine’s source.

Chen Fei secretly extracted seventy percent of the vine’s Source while more than a dozen Realm Lord Realm Middle Stage cultivators battled the Demon Tree. As their combined attack tore open the Demon Tree’s trunk and revealed the Status Rank vine, black flames suddenly engulfed the battlefield.

• Chen Fei intercepted the power flowing from the vine to the Demon Tree and extracted its Source while the Realm Lords pressed their attack.
• As the monsters converged and the Demon Tree fought back, the Realm Lords unleashed their trump cards and forced their way toward its trunk.
• Chen Fei reached seventy percent of the vine’s Source, then withdrew into the monster remains to avoid being exposed by the approaching battle.
• The Realm Lords struck the Demon Tree’s trunk, heavily injuring it and shattering its vines except for the one containing Heaven and Earth Status Rank.
• The Realm Lords recognized the surviving vine as the Status Rank Spirit Material, and black flames suddenly spread across heaven and earth.

The Realm Lords broke the Demon Tree’s Black Flames Barrier and fought over its vine, while Chen Fei secretly took a portion of its Status Rank Source and gave it to Zhu Shiyu. After recovering from severe demonization, Chen Fei was confronted by Lu Yilin, Long Zhengling, and Ji Jiuqian, who demanded the source he had taken.

• The Demon Tree’s final burst trapped the Realm Lords in a Black Flames Barrier as a monster army approached, forcing them to attack the barrier together.
• The Realm Lords shattered the barrier and fought over the vine, but its Status Rank Source proved scarcer than expected, and they fled as more monsters arrived.
• Chen Fei sent a quarter of the vine’s Source to Zhu Shiyu, who accepted it and began refining it to break through to Realm Lord Realm Middle Stage.
• After the monsters left, Chen Fei cut away his eighty-percent demonization and used the Status Panel Backup and Low-Grade Immortal Crystals to restore his cultivation.
• Lu Yilin, Long Zhengling, and Ji Jiuqian returned, accused Chen Fei of taking the Status Rank Source, and demanded that he hand it over.
