Chapter Summaries

Chen Fei used insights from his sealed Realm Lord-level foundation to defeat a succession of opponents in the Secret Realm’s trials. As the Secret Realm twisted the encounters to stop him, Chen Fei reached the Seventh-Order Sky Opening Realm and faced Ge Shida, an Eighth-Order Creation Realm cultivator.

• The Secret Realm advanced Chen Fei through encounters with a Sixth-Order Dao Fusion Realm hunter and Liao Xia before placing him at Seventh-Order Sky Opening Realm against Ge Shida.

Chen Fei sped through the secret realm’s escalating life-and-death illusions, defeating opponents far stronger than his sealed cultivation by using his overwhelming understanding and techniques. After killing Fan Wenzheng in Bowang City, he saw the secret realm’s Heavenly Dao and entered it, where he faced a fifth-tier Primordial Demon.

• Chen Fei defeated Ge Shida, who used the Future Time Subordinate Rule but could find no path to survive his sword.
• The secret realm placed Chen Fei in the Yu Clan’s past battle against the Bie Clan and Liang Clan, and he killed their Ninth-Order, Eighth-Order, and Seventh-Order cultivators.
• Chen Fei advanced through the ninth-order and Tenth-Order illusions, then reached the Earth God Realm Initial Stage and faced Fan Wenzheng in Bowang City.
• Chen Fei used the Skyfall Sword repeatedly to kill Fan Wenzheng, causing the illusion space to tremble and revealing the secret realm’s Heavenly Dao to him.
• Chen Fei entered the Secret Realm Heavenly Dao and opened his eyes before a fifth-tier Primordial Demon.

After gaining insight into the Secret Realm Heavenly Dao, Chen Fei entered the illusions of Primal Fiends and killed them with overwhelming force while their cultivation was sealed. As he continued hunting hidden Primal Fiends in the Cold Mountain Domain, Si Tuze learned that another one had died while he remained trapped behind seals.

• Chen Fei entered Xiang Kaifeng’s illusion, overpowered the fifth-order Primal Fiend with his Earth God Realm Middle Stage comprehension, and took his spiritual essence and Earth God Weapon.
• Chen Fei found Zhang Lifeng’s illusion, exposed him as a hidden Primal Fiend, and killed him despite both of them having fourth-order cultivation.
• Chen Fei confronted Sun Tingtao in his illusion, recognized traces of Primal Fiend power, and killed him after Sun Tingtao attacked.
• Si Tuze saw two spiritual lights representing Primal Fiends extinguish, then watched another light go out as he continued trying to break the seals trapping him.

Chen Fei exploited the Secret Realm’s illusions to hunt down its Primordial Demons, while Si Tuze tried to identify the killer and escape his sealed area. By the chapter’s end, Chen Fei had slain forty-one Eleventh-Order Primordial Demons and was still looking for more.

• Si Tuze realized that the spirit pearls were going dark because the hidden Primordial Demons were being killed, and he began examining the barrier trapping him.
• Chen Fei killed the remaining hidden Primordial Demons in their illusions, including Dong Xingqian, and learned that Dong had sent fragments of information to the Twelfth-Order Primal Fiend.
• Si Tuze used Dong Xingqian’s spirit pearl to deduce that an Earth God Realm Initial Stage cultivator had killed him, then began breaking through the barrier.
• Chen Fei used the Secret Realm Heavenly Dao to move between illusions and kill more Primordial Demons, while Si Tuze’s spirit pearls continued to go dark.
• After killing twenty-eight Primordial Demons in the illusions, bringing his total to forty-one, Chen Fei judged the hunt too slow and continued onward.

Chen Fei used the secret realm’s illusions and Heavenly Dao to slaughter Primal Fiends, then tested whether his Night Demon War Soldiers could hunt independently. The chapter ended with more than two hundred soldiers vanishing into other illusions as one failed to return.

• Chen Fei killed nearby Primal Fiends while using the illusions as anchors to leap between them, and he had already slain forty-one.
• Chen Fei discovered that his Night Demon War Soldier could bypass an illusion’s restrictions, then used it to kill another Primal Fiend.
• Chen Fei sent Ninth-Order Night Demon War Soldiers into an illusion and tried unsuccessfully to move his own body to another one before his target died.
• Si Tuze sensed Primal Fiends dying at an accelerating pace and prepared to break out of his sealed area to find the culprit.
• Chen Fengyan sensed the Primal Fiends’ deaths and struggled to understand how someone could locate and kill them so quickly.
• Chen Fei sent more than two hundred Night Demon War Soldiers into other illusions, and one soldier vanished without returning.

Chen Fei used his Night Demon War Soldiers to kill the Primal Fiends trapped in the secret realm’s illusions, while Si Tuze and Chen Fengyan struggled to understand and counter the slaughter. Chen Fei collected the remaining spirit essence and weapons as Si Tuze tried to force his way into an illusion to find the killer.

• Chen Fei’s avatars killed Lu Hongtao and began eliminating Primal Fiends throughout the illusions, while Lu Hongtao realized they were also attacking in other illusions.
• Si Tuze sensed waves of Primal Fiend deaths, escaped the sealed land, and recognized that the secret realm’s illusions were connected to Mystic Feather World’s rules.
• Si Tuze shattered illusion nodes from outside, but the Night Demon War Soldiers killed the trapped Primal Fiends before their power could recover, leaving only twenty-seven Eleventh-Order Primal Fiends alive.
• Si Tuze forced his way into an illusion to find the killer, but Chen Fei erased his Night Demon War Soldier and left no trace for Si Tuze to follow.
• Chen Fengyan escaped his sealed land and began searching for Si Tuze, while Chen Fei collected the remaining twenty-six portions of Eleventh-Order Primal Fiend spirit essence.

Chen Fei considered how to use the secret realm’s resources to obtain Status Rank Spirit Materials while he waited for its illusions to end. After nearly two hundred cultivators escaped the illusions, he emerged and faced Si Tuze, who was trapped by Chen Fengyan’s Sky Locking Ring and demanded to know whether Chen Fei had killed the Primordial Demons.

• Chen Fei planned to use the secret realm and his Primal Fiend Spirit Essences to produce Status Rank Spirit Materials and resources that could strengthen his divine soul.
• Si Tuze worried that more Eleventh-Order Primal Fiends would die if he sent them into the secret realm, while Chen Fengyan kept him occupied and refused to explain what had happened.
• Chen Fei realized the secret realm would hide its Source after its illusions failed, and he saw an Earth God Realm Late Stage cultivator reject the fragments offered as a reward for escaping.
• Chen Fei emerged from the illusion as nearly two hundred cultivators had escaped and saw Si Tuze confined within Chen Fengyan’s Sky Locking Ring.
• Si Tuze asked Chen Fei whether he had killed all the Primordial Demons, while Chen Fengyan assured Chen Fei that Si Tuze could not reach him.

Chen Fei evaded Si Tuze’s deduction and used the secret realm’s Source to prepare hidden arrangements before escaping with the other survivors. Back in South Creek City, Chen Fengyan announced rewards for the cultivators who had collected Source, and the comparison began.

• Si Tuze tried to deduce whether Chen Fei carried the spirit essences and weapons of the slain Primal Fiends, but found nothing, while Chen Fei’s stored spoils remained hidden in the Ruin Realm inside the Space Grid.
• Chen Fei gathered enough Secret Realm Source, then used part of it to carve a formation that let him locate the secret realm and teleport there when needed.
• As the Source dwindled, Chen Fei waited until the secret realm was ready to fall in grade, then left through the Spatial Passage opened by Chen Fengyan.
• The surviving cultivators returned to South Creek City, where they learned Dong Xingqian had fallen and Chen Fengyan chose not to investigate who had killed the Primal Fiends.
• Chen Fengyan announced Status Rank Spirit Materials and other rewards for cultivators who provided Secret Realm Source, and the Earth God Realms began presenting their shares for comparison.

Chen Fei secured second place among the Earth God Realm Initial Stage cultivators by presenting eight portions of Secret Realm Source, earning an Eleventh-Order Middle-Grade Status Rank Spirit Material. After declining Ma Chenyang’s offer to trade for it, Chen Fei stored the material and asked Chen Fengyan for permission to view the treasury’s cultivation technique inheritances.

• Chen Fei presented eight portions of Secret Realm Source to Chen Fengyan and rose to second place, qualifying for a Status Rank Spirit Material.
• Chen Fengyan praised Chen Fei, and the remaining submissions confirmed that he kept second place.
• Ma Chenyang offered Sky Ink Grass and other terms in exchange for Chen Fei’s Status Rank Spirit Material, but Chen Fei refused to sell it.
• Chen Fengyan brought Chen Fei and the other eight top-ranked cultivators to South Creek City’s grotto-heaven, where the others began refining their rewards.
• Chen Fei stored his Status Rank Spirit Material and asked Chen Fengyan whether he could spend Mid-Grade Immortal Crystals to view the cultivation technique inheritances; Chen Fengyan questioned why he needed them when he cultivated the Skyfall Sword Canon.

Chen Fei used his unusual comprehension as a reason to gain access to thirty cultivation techniques in the South Creek City treasury, then studied and merged them to strengthen his cultivation and prepare for future breakthroughs. He returned to the Nurturing Spirit Sect and, in the Ruin Realm Void, created the Heavenly Devil Torrent Art and Three Thousand Sky Swords.

• Chen Fei told Chen Fengyan that more cultivation techniques improved his comprehension, and Chen Fengyan granted him access to thirty treasury inheritances without requiring Mid-Grade Immortal Crystals.
• The treasury Artifact Spirit guided Chen Fei to the cultivation inheritances, where he examined body-refinement arts, secret techniques, and essence-energy methods.
• Chen Fei chose five body-refinement arts, ten divine-soul-focused secret techniques, and fifteen essence-energy cultivation arts, considering what he needed for future breakthroughs.
• After two days, Chen Fei returned to the Nurturing Spirit Sect, where Wei Liangzhen and the other Earth God Realm cultivators congratulated him on obtaining an Eleventh-Order Middle-Grade Status Rank Spirit Material.
• Chen Fei entered the Ruin Realm Void and used the Panel to merge the thirty inheritances, creating the Heavenly Devil Torrent Art and the Heavenly God Skill Three Thousand Sky Swords while modifying the Skyfall Sword Canon.

Chen Fei completed his cultivation of three top-tier techniques, strengthening his sword arts, Divine Soul defense, and body protection while his Three Thousand Sky Swords began accumulating power in the Mystic Feather World. After refusing Ma Chenyang’s challenge, he accepted Jiang Hanyi’s wager of an Eleventh-Order Middle-Grade Status Rank Spirit Material, setting up a highly publicized duel.

• Chen Fei cultivated Skyfall Sword Canon (Modified), Three Thousand Sky Swords, and Heavenly Devil Torrent Art to the Great Perfection Realm.
• Chen Fei discovered that his Three Thousand Sky Swords needed eight or nine years to charge fully, though Divine Soul-nourishing treasures could speed the process.
• Chen Fei refused Ma Chenyang’s challenge for a Status Rank Spirit Material, choosing to wait for the Cold Mountain Domain to refine the secret realm.
• Jiang Hanyi, a former Heaven’s Chosen List champion, challenged Chen Fei for an Eleventh-Order Middle-Grade Status Rank Spirit Material, and Chen Fei accepted.
• News of Chen Fei and Jiang Hanyi’s wager spread across the Cold Mountain Domain, drawing attention to their coming contest.

Chen Fei faced Jiang Hanyi in a wagered duel in Gold Sand City, with an Eleventh-Order Middle-Grade Status Rank Spirit Material on the line. Chen Fei seized control of the fight with his sword techniques, leaving Jiang Hanyi on the defensive as the battle continued.

• Cultivators flocked to Gold Sand City to watch Chen Fei and Jiang Hanyi compete for their Status Rank Spirit Materials.
• Chen Fengyan arrived as referee, took custody of both wagers, and signaled the duel to begin.
• Jiang Hanyi opened with a storm of sword shadows, but Chen Fei carved a passage through them and wounded Jiang Hanyi's divine soul.
• Chen Fei struck Jiang Hanyi again with a sword scar, forcing him to block and retreat.
• Chen Fei's sword scars continued to circle and attack Jiang Hanyi, leaving him with nothing but passive defense.

Chen Fei defeated Jiang Hanyi in the Martial Arts Arena by using the Skyfall Sword Canon’s movement technique to confuse his opponent and force him to release his accumulated attack against a false target. Three days later, the Cold Mountain Domain’s Heavenly God Realm experts began refining the Illusion Secret Realm.

• Chen Fei overwhelmed Jiang Hanyi with seven sword scars, leaving the spectators and the Nurturing Spirit Sect astonished by his skill.
• Jiang Hanyi shattered his Ice Crystal Sword and unleashed a vast rain of Ice Swords while secretly gathering power for a counterattack.
• Chen Fei split his Aura among the seven sword scars, making it impossible for Jiang Hanyi to identify his true body before his attack had to be released.
• Jiang Hanyi struck a false sword scar, realized he had lost, and admitted defeat as Chen Fei spared him further humiliation.
• After three days of discussion about Chen Fei’s victory, the Cold Mountain Domain’s Heavenly God Realm experts began refining the Illusion Secret Realm.

Chen Fei secretly entered the Illusion Secret Realm while Shangguan Yang refined it, using Secret Realm Source and Primal Fiend Spirit Essence to cultivate treasures for himself. After gathering an Eleventh-Order High-Grade Status Rank Spirit Material and Divine Soul-nourishing plants, Chen Fei left the secret realm as Shangguan Yang continued refining it.

• Chen Fei gave Jiang Hanyi's Eleventh-Order Middle-Grade Status Rank Spirit Material to the Nurturing Spirit Sect, then used a Teleportation Array to enter the Illusion Secret Realm.
• Chen Fei used his authority over the Secret Realm Heavenly Dao and supplied Secret Realm Source and Primal Fiend Spirit Essence to persuade the secret realm to grow an Eleventh-Order High-Grade Status Rank Spirit Material.
• Shangguan Yang noticed the secret realm resisted refinement and searched it with Divine Sense, but Chen Fei concealed himself in a formation and avoided detection.
• Chen Fei collected the Status Rank Spirit Material, then cultivated Heavenly Sound Flowers and Azure Smoke Grass to nourish his Divine Soul and Three Thousand Sky Swords.
• After one day, Chen Fei used the remaining Secret Realm Source to leave the Illusion Secret Realm, while Shangguan Yang continued refining it.

Chen Fei used an Eleventh-Order High-Grade Status Rank Spirit Material to break through to the Earth God Realm Late Stage, then refined divine soul materials and used Three Thousand Sky Swords to advance his divine soul to the Earth God Realm Peak. Meanwhile, Shangguan Yang continued refining the Illusion Secret Realm as its resistance suddenly weakened.

• Shangguan Yang noticed that the Illusion Secret Realm was being refined faster, but he chose to proceed cautiously after deciding the disruptive force had likely disappeared.
• Chen Fei returned from the Illusion Secret Realm to the Ruin Realm with Eleventh-Order spirit materials, including ninety-eight portions of divine soul nourishment.
• Chen Fei refined a Status Rank Spirit Material and smoothly broke through from the Earth God Realm Middle Stage to the Earth God Realm Late Stage.
• Chen Fei spent a dozen or so Earth God Weapons and Natural Material Treasures to raise the Ruin Realm toward the Eleventh-Order High-Grade.
• Chen Fei refined eight Heavenly Sound Flowers to bring his divine soul to the peak of the Earth God Realm Late Stage, then used twenty stalks of Azure Smoke Grass to form three hundred sky swords.
• Chen Fei drove the three hundred sky swords into his divine soul, shattered its bottleneck, and reached the Earth God Realm Peak.

Chen Fei refined divine soul spirit materials until his divine soul reached over seventy percent of the Earth God Realm Peak, then used the Heavenly Devil Torrent Art to force a breakthrough in his physique. After repeated collapses and recovery, he succeeded and reached the Earth God Realm Peak in physique.

• Chen Fei weighed strengthening his divine soul against building power in the Three Thousand Sky Swords and chose to refine his Heavenly Sound Flowers and Azure Smoke Grass.
• Chen Fei raised his divine soul to over seventy percent of the Earth God Realm Peak, then absorbed Mid-Grade Great Dao Stones until his elemental energy and physique reached their limits.
• Chen Fei devoured the spiritual essence of Earth God Weapons to temper his physique, but his body repeatedly collapsed as his breakthrough attempts failed.
• Chen Fei used Status Panel Backup to review his failures, recovered with Mid-Grade Immortal Crystals, and continued refining weapon essence.
• On his fifth attempt, Chen Fei's flesh and blood transformed back into shape as the Night Demon War Soldier lent him its power, and he broke through to the Earth God Realm Peak in physique.

Chen Fei strengthened his physique and divine soul while Shangguan Yang uncovered traces of the mysterious cultivator who had altered the Illusion Secret Realm. Two months later, the Cold Mountain Domain attacked the Abnormality in Secluded Valley City, where Chen Fei encountered two powerful Primordial Demons.

• Chen Fei refined Mid-Grade Great Dao Stones, raised his physique to eighty percent of Earth God Realm Peak, and tested the power of his Skyfall Sword.
• Shangguan Yang found evidence that someone had planted Status Rank Spirit Materials and obscured the Illusion Secret Realm’s historical traces, but he and Chen Fengyan could not identify the culprit.
• Over two months, Chen Fei accumulated and consumed ninety Three Thousand Sky Swords, raising his divine soul to eighty-five percent of Earth God Realm Peak.
• The Cold Mountain Domain conscripted more than a thousand Earth God Realm cultivators to attack the Abnormality in Secluded Valley City, using the Illusion Secret Realm in the assault.
• Chen Fei entered Secluded Valley City with Wei Liangzhen’s warning to be careful and spotted an Eleventh-Order Late Stage Primordial Demon and an Eleventh-Order Peak Primordial Demon.

Chen Fei faced two powerful Primal Fiends in Secluded Valley City while the Cold Mountain Domain’s Earth God Realm cultivators were being targeted by stronger enemies. After revealing his true strength, he gravely wounded Mu Xiaoyun with a Heavenly God Skill and pursued Liu Qitao as the Primal Fiends tried to retreat.

• Chen Fei realized the Primal Fiends were using higher-realm forces to hunt weaker Cold Mountain Domain cultivators while Twelfth-Order Primal Fiends held back the Heavenly God Realm experts.
• Mu Xiaoyun attacked Chen Fei from afar, but Chen Fei escaped the blade intent lock and remained unharmed as Mu Xiaoyun and Liu Qitao closed in.
• Mu Xiaoyun and Liu Qitao questioned Chen Fei’s calm, then Mu Xiaoyun unleashed a close-range barrage of blade light.
• Chen Fei stopped the world with his divine soul and struck Mu Xiaoyun with the Qian Yuan Sword, splitting him and nearly annihilating his essence.
• Liu Qitao pulled the wounded Mu Xiaoyun into retreat, but Chen Fei revealed his Earth God Realm Late Stage cultivation and appeared in Liu Qitao’s path.

Chen Fei killed Liu Qitao and Mu Xiaoyun, then tried to hunt other Primal Fiends inside the Secluded Valley City Anomaly. The Anomaly blocked his perception and sent him back to his starting point before the surroundings changed, leaving him seated among singing girls.

• Liu Qitao attacked Chen Fei with the Black Millet Sword, but Chen Fei's first Skyfall Sword overwhelmed him and forced him to flee while throwing Mu Xiaoyun at Chen Fei.
• Chen Fei killed Mu Xiaoyun and struck Liu Qitao a second time, leaving Liu Qitao gravely wounded.
• Liu Qitao unleashed the Jade and Stone Burn Together Secret Technique with a strange force in his body, but Chen Fei retreated and Liu Qitao exploded, tearing open Space Rifts.
• Chen Fei collected Liu Qitao's and Mu Xiaoyun's spiritual essence and Earth God Weapons, then set out to find and kill more Primal Fiends.
• Chen Fei could not sense any Primal Fiends, and his attempt to move forward returned him to his starting point inside the Anomaly.
• Chen Fei's sword passed through a courtyard without affecting it, and the surroundings changed, leaving him on a soft couch with singing girls before him.

Chen Fei learned that Secluded Valley City's courtyard paired fighters across vast distances and offered the defeated a false revival as servants of the Strange. He left, then returned after tricking the courtyard into locking onto his Night Demon War Soldier, preparing to fight without risking his true self.

• Jiang Rongxuan appeared as the singing girl turned around, and he attacked Chen Fei with his blade.
• Chen Fei killed Jiang Rongxuan with the Skyfall Sword and drew out his Spirit Essence.
• A Light Cluster explained that the courtyard matched fighters across distant spaces and turned anyone who lost into a Chang-Strange, while victories could be processed into Natural Material Treasures.
• Chen Fei considered staying to fight for Azure Life Flowers and Spirit Essence, but worried the courtyard might match him against a Cold Mountain Domain cultivator.
• Chen Fei left the courtyard, merged with the Night Demon War Soldier, and returned after arranging for the courtyard to lock onto the soldier instead of his true self.
