Chapter Summaries

Chen Fei challenged Xing Shengjie, the Transformation Sect’s Heaven’s Chosen Rank 10, before securing his Heaven’s Chosen status at the Heavenly God Realm Peak. Their duel began with Xing Shengjie attacking first, but Chen Fei’s footwork and mirror-image arts gradually overwhelmed the arena.

• Xing Shengjie learned of Chen Fei’s rapid cultivation and accepted the challenge, intending to use him as a whetstone.
• Disciples at Illusion Spirit Peak realized Chen Fei had not yet cleared the Heavenly God Realm Peak Heaven’s Chosen Trial and could lose his Heaven’s Chosen status if he lost.
• Xing Shengjie and Chen Fei arrived at the Martial Arts Arena, where a Void True God Realm steward began their duel under rules that allowed injuries but forbade death.
• Xing Shengjie attacked immediately, while Chen Fei used Illusory Moon Tracing Step to evade him and tug at his divine soul.
• Chen Fei revealed his mastery of Mirror Flower Water Moon Art, and the two Heaven’s Chosen clashed with their mirror images.
• Xing Shengjie’s mirror images dwindled as Chen Fei’s filled the arena, while the watching deacon observed Chen Fei with surprise.

Chen Fei defeated Xing Shengjie with his mastery of illusion techniques and claimed Heaven's Chosen Rank 10, setting an unprecedented record in the Transformation Sect. Though disciples expected him to challenge Yu Fangqiu next, Chen Fei stayed quiet for a month before leaving with the team for Formless Devil Palace as its Devil Son prepared to ascend to the summit.

• Chen Fei used his mirror images and illusion techniques to overwhelm Xing Shengjie, whose Blood Qi Furnace failed to break through the illusion.
• Chen Fei defeated Xing Shengjie, and the Void True God Realm deacon declared Chen Fei the winner and the new Heaven's Chosen Rank 10.
• Chen Fei visited Enlightenment Dao Peak and the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, but he did not challenge another heaven's chosen.
• Xing Shengjie met Yu Fangqiu and discovered that Yu Fangqiu had trapped him inside a teacup, revealing the gap in their strength.
• A month passed without another duel, and Chen Fei left with the team for Formless Devil Palace as the Devil Son prepared to ascend to the summit.

Chen Fei and the Transformation Sect traveled to the Formless Devil Palace to witness Gu Yingzhi attempt the Formless Ladder. After learning about Gu Yingzhi’s strength and meeting the gathered sects, Chen Fei watched as the devil child appeared beneath the ladder and began his climb.

• Chen Fei spoke with Yu Fangqiu and Xing Shengjie about the Formless Devil Palace’s devil child, Gu Yingzhi, and whether they would challenge him on the Formless Ladder.
• Yu Fangqiu explained that Gu Yingzhi had mastered two Twelfth-Order Supreme inheritances and completed the Fire and Earth Rules, making him a formidable opponent.

• Chen Fei saw the Formless Ladder and watched cultivators from sects across the Profound Sky Domain gather to observe the ceremony.
• Gu Yingzhi appeared beneath the Formless Ladder as the appointed hour arrived and began ascending.

Gu Yingzhi climbed the Formless Ladder to become the devil child, but the Shadow Devil Hong Junhao defeated him with the Formless Ruin Grand Art and sealed him beneath the ladder. When no one else dared to challenge Hong Junhao, Chen Fei stepped onto the ladder to face him.

• Gu Yingzhi climbed the Formless Ladder, refining its source essence as he approached the summit.
• Hong Junhao emerged from a boulder and revealed that he had cultivated the Formless Ruin Grand Art by remaining sealed in the ladder until others forgot him.

• Hong Junhao challenged the surrounding forces, but Yu Fangqiu, Xing Shengjie, and the other cultivators held back.
• Chen Fei stepped onto the Formless Ladder and blocked Hong Junhao's path.

Chen Fei challenged Hong Junhao on the Formless Ladder and overwhelmed him with superior strength and mastery, despite Hong Junhao's Formless Ruin Grand Art. After Hong Junhao recklessly pushed his art to its limit, Chen Fei trapped him in an illusion that sent him charging toward the ladder's seal.

• Chen Fei stepped onto the Formless Ladder and blocked Hong Junhao's opening attack before blasting him into a pit with a counterstrike.
• Chen Fei matched Hong Junhao's perfected three rules and used the Fleeting Life Like a Dream Fist to overpower him again, even as Hong Junhao brought out the Formless Ghost Shadow Step.
• Hong Junhao recklessly circulated the Formless Ruin Grand Art, but Chen Fei's sword broke through his defenses and severed his right arm.
• Chen Fei taunted the injured Hong Junhao, who insisted he had not lost and then charged toward the Formless Ladder's sealing point under Chen Fei's Illusion Technique.

Chen Fei defeated Hong Junhao during the Formless Devil Palace’s ceremony, earning the Transformation Sect’s support for his breakthrough to the Void True God Realm. After receiving a Thirteenth-Order Low-grade Status Rank Spirit Material, he returned to prepare to refine it as news of his victory spread across the Profound Sky Domain.

• Hong Junhao resisted Xing Shengjie’s illusion briefly but ultimately rushed into the Formless Ladder’s seal after Chen Fei remained still.
• Chen Fei returned to the Transformation Sect, where Yan Haoyang and Yu Fangqiu praised his performance and the disciples congratulated him.

• Yan Haoyang gave Chen Fei a Thirteenth-Order Low-grade Status Rank Spirit Material to support his breakthrough to the Void True God Realm.
• Chen Fei returned to his cave residence to refine the material as news of his victory spread through the Transformation Sect and the Profound Sky Domain.

After defeating Hong Junhao at the Formless Devil Palace, Chen Fei attracted attention throughout the Profound Sky Domain as he prepared to advance. He refined Thirteenth-Order Status Rank Spirit Material and broke through to the Void True God Realm, but still needed a higher-grade cultivation technique to advance further.

• Cultivators across the Profound Sky Domain discussed Chen Fei’s victory over Hong Junhao and learned that he had come from the Cold Mountain Domain only two months earlier.
• Transformation Sect disciples realized Chen Fei had stopped at Heaven’s Chosen Rank 10 because it was enough to earn Thirteenth-Order Status Rank Spirit Material by defeating the Formless Devil Palace’s Devil Son.
• Qu Yuanchuan, Wei Liangzhen, and Dong Gufeng celebrated that Chen Fei was about to become a Void True God and recalled his arrival in the Cold Mountain Domain.
• Chen Fei examined the Thirteenth-Order Status Rank Spirit Material, found no problem with it, and refined it while contemplating the nature of Heaven and Earth Status Ranks.
• Chen Fei’s elemental power broke through to the Void True God Realm, strengthening his divine soul and expanding his perception across Illusion Spirit Peak.
• Chen Fei stabilized his new realm, assessed his increased strength, and watched his Heavenly God Weapons shatter into Source Spirit Essence that merged into the Ruin Realm.

Chen Fei broke through to the Void True God Realm, moved from Illusion Spirit Peak to Illusion God Peak, and borrowed resources to raise the Ruin Realm to Thirteenth-Order Low-grade. After selecting a cave abode and nineteen cultivation inheritances, he began studying them in the Ruin Realm.

• Chen Fei left the Ruin Realm and invited his abode's Artifact Spirit to Illusion God Peak, naming it Baka.
• Chen Fei greeted the disciples who came to congratulate him, then traveled to Illusion God Peak, where Shen Tingyu and Tian Wentao discussed whether to invite him on a dangerous undertaking.
• Chen Fei selected a lakeside cave abode and borrowed Azure Dawn Sky Iron from the Transformation Sect to raise the Ruin Realm to Thirteenth-Order Low-grade.
• Chen Fei borrowed the allowed cultivation inheritances, including the early-stage portion of a Core Inheritance, and returned to his cave abode with nineteen Jade Slips.
• Chen Fei entered the Ruin Realm and began studying the inheritances.

Chen Fei formed the Thirteenth-Order High-Grade physique legacy Eclipse Heaven Melting Prison Canon and was visited by Tian Wentao and Shen Tingyu. Tian Wentao asked Chen Fei to help resolve the Karmic Fate binding him to a Thirteenth-Order secret realm, where they might face Extraterritorial Heavenly Devils and Primal Cultivators.

• Chen Fei fused three physique legacies into the Eclipse Heaven Melting Prison Canon, which included the Eternal Night Cage Trait.
• Artifact Spirit Baka alerted Chen Fei that Tian Wentao and Shen Tingyu had come to visit, and Chen Fei welcomed them into his cave abode.
• Tian Wentao offered Chen Fei a gift, but Chen Fei declined it until Shen Tingyu explained that they needed his help.
• Tian Wentao revealed that a Fox Clan being had revived in his deceased wife's body and used an altered contract, recognized by the secret realm's Heavenly Dao, to bind him with Karmic Fate.
• Tian Wentao asked Chen Fei, a Void True God from outside the Profound Sky Domain, to help resolve the Karmic Fate in the secret realm, warning that the task could involve Extraterritorial Heavenly Devils and Primal Cultivators.

Chen Fei agreed to accompany Tian Wentao and Shen Tingyu to the Veiling Spirit World in pursuit of the Time Source Pearl, then used their gift of cultivation resources to study and simplify his techniques. He began cultivating amid the spiritual inspiration of the Ruin Realm, which had become a Thirteenth-Order Low-Grade Plane.

• Shen Tingyu explained that the Veiling Spirit World was a Thirteenth-Order Peak-Grade Secret Realm where Status Rank Spirit Materials periodically appeared.
• Tian Wentao revealed that the group hoped to obtain a Time Source Pearl, and Chen Fei agreed to travel with him and Shen Tingyu.
• Tian Wentao and Shen Tingyu left Chen Fei a Jade Slip about the Fox Clan and Veiling Spirit World, along with one million Top-Grade Immortal Crystals and one hundred Top-Grade Great Dao Stones.
• Chen Fei read the Transformation Sect's technique Jade Slips, fused the Other Shore Mirror Flower Art into the Other Shore Illusory Void Art, and simplified it and the Eclipse Heaven Melting Prison Canon.
• Chen Fei sat down to cultivate as the Ruin Realm enveloped him in spiritual inspiration.

Chen Fei perfected two Thirteenth-Order High-Grade legacies, learned how Void Secret Treasures could lead toward the Immortal Realm, and increased his cultivation using his remaining Top-Grade Great Dao Stones. Meanwhile, Lu Xuanying considered capturing Chen Fei to investigate Chai Zhihong’s death, but Chen Fei remained under the Transformation Sect’s protection.

• Chen Fei grasped how Void True Gods explored Void Secret Treasures and wondered whether combining fourteen could let him form an immortal body ahead of time.
• Chen Fei reached Great Perfection in the Eclipse Heaven Melting Prison Canon and the Other Shore Illusory Void Art, refining the blood qi of beings across the Ruin Realm as he completed the techniques.
• Chen Fei used his remaining Top-Grade Great Dao Stones to raise his divine soul and yuan force to two-tenths into the Void True God Realm Initial Stage, substantially increasing his battle power.
• Chen Fei read the jade slip Tian Wentao and the others had left and learned about the Veiling Spirit World.
• Lu Xuanying questioned Su Qifang about Chen Fei and Chai Zhihong’s death, then weighed capturing Chen Fei despite his protection within the Transformation Sect.

Chen Fei, Tian Wentao, and Shen Tingyu set out for the Veiling Spirit World to investigate Tian Wentao’s worsening karmic burden, with a puppet scouting ahead. They entered after the scout found no obvious danger, while an unexplained disturbance spread beneath Reaching Heaven Valley.

• Chen Fei warned Tian Wentao that the karmic force affecting him had worsened, and Tian Wentao discovered a black spot on his divine soul.
• Shen Tingyu proposed using his Thirteenth-Order puppet to scout the Veiling Spirit World, and Tian Wentao agreed to go with him and Chen Fei.
• The three traveled from the Transformation Sect to the Veiling Spirit World’s entrance, where Tian Wentao explained that cultivators and Primal Cultivators controlled it.
• Shen Tingyu sent his puppet inside, and it reported no obvious abnormalities but noted that Heaven and Earth Essence Qi had increased.
• Chen Fei, Tian Wentao, and Shen Tingyu entered the Veiling Spirit World as ripples spread underground in Reaching Heaven Valley and the two Extraterritorial Heavenly Devils disappeared.

Chen Fei, Tian Wentao, and Shen Tingyu entered the Black Domain to remove the Karmic Fate tied to Tian Wentao, but found no Devour Spirit Beast and discovered the karmic force was growing far faster than expected. As they retreated from the altar after Chen Fei sensed danger, a Pale Eyeball appeared and revealed it had been watching them.

• Tian Wentao explained that Chen Fei would lure out the Black Domain's Devour Spirit Beast while he and Shen Tingyu trapped it.
• Chen Fei used the Soul Enticement Grass and Aura Concealing Pearl, but the Black Domain showed no sign of the Devour Spirit Beast.
• Shen Tingyu sent a puppet into the Black Domain, and it returned without finding the beast or any traces of battle.
• Chen Fei noticed that Tian Wentao's Karmic Force had spread across his divine soul, so the three entered the Black Domain and Tian Wentao formed an altar to draw it out.
• As the Karmic Force Pearl formed, Chen Fei sensed danger and Tian Wentao led them toward the exit without taking it.
• A Pale Eyeball covered in curled fleshy tendrils appeared and said it had planned to play with them longer.

Tian Wentao, Shen Tingyu, and Chen Fei encountered a Pale Eyeball in the Black Domain whose illusion trapped and weakened the first two. Chen Fei resisted its illusions, discovered its true body could not reach them, and destroyed the Pale Eyeball, leaving a black Top-Grade Great Dao Stone behind.

• Tian Wentao, Shen Tingyu, and Chen Fei used their mirror images to attack the Pale Eyeball and escape, but it froze their images and trapped them in an illusion.
• Chen Fei recognized the false images and warned Tian Wentao and Shen Tingyu, but the Pale Eyeball’s illusions gradually clouded their minds and bound Karmic Force to Tian Wentao’s soul.
• Chen Fei confronted the Pale Eyeball alone, resisted its soul attacks, and confirmed that its true body could not enter the Black Domain.
• Chen Fei attacked the Pale Eyeball with the Qian Yuan Sword and his physical strength, splitting it open despite its attempts to ensnare him with illusions.
• Chen Fei destroyed the Pale Eyeball with the Qian Yuan Sword and black furnace, and a black Top-Grade Great Dao Stone emerged from its Blood Mist.

Chen Fei killed the Pale Eyeball and helped Tian Wentao and Shen Tingyu recover from its attack, while suspecting it came from a higher-level Secret Realm. After the group secured a Karmic Force Pearl and headed for the Fox Clan’s territory, they found it deserted and stopped above the Illusion Sand Dune.

• Chen Fei collected the Pale Eyeball’s Top-Grade Great Dao Stones and considered whether the Veiling Spirit World was a lower-level plane of a new, higher-level Secret Realm.
• Chen Fei woke Shen Tingyu, brought the shattered altar to Tian Wentao, and urged him to repair it so it could draw away the Karmic Force.
• Tian Wentao repaired the altar and sealed the Karmic Force Pearl after it formed, while he and Shen Tingyu suspected Chen Fei had slain the Pale Eyeball.
• Chen Fei, Tian Wentao, and Shen Tingyu left the Black Domain and headed toward the Fox Clan’s territory to seek the Time Source Pearl.
• The three found no Fox Clan members in their territory and stopped above the Illusion Sand Dune.

Chen Fei, Tian Wentao, and Shen Tingyu discovered that the Fox Clan had been exterminated and that a powerful new Secret Realm had appeared beside the Veiling Spirit World. After the Veiling Spirit World’s exit vanished, they headed for the Transformation Sect’s base, but a Golden World attacked the stranded cultivators.

• Chen Fei concluded that the Fox Clan’s disappearance and the Pale Eyeball’s Immortal Platform realm pointed to a new Secret Realm at least Fourteenth-Order in grade.
• Tian Wentao opened the gray Source Stone, found that the Time Source Pearl was gone, and smelted out a wisp of its Spirit Rhyme, which he and Shen Tingyu gave to Chen Fei.
• Chen Fei, Tian Wentao, and Shen Tingyu discovered that the Veiling Spirit World’s entrance had vanished and decided to seek the Transformation Sect’s deacon.
• The three set out for the Transformation Sect’s base, but a Golden World appeared behind them and unleashed golden weapons against the cultivators stranded at the entrance.

After discovering that a powerful new Secret Realm had appeared and its beings had attacked cultivators at the Veiling Spirit World’s vanished entrance, Chen Fei and his companions regrouped at Hanging Peak Mountain. Lu Wenxuan gathered the Transformation Sect deacons to prepare for the danger, while Chen Fei began refining his resources; the mountain’s protective formation then suddenly shook.

• Tian Wentao, Shen Tingyu, and Chen Fei fled the Secret Realm powerhouse’s attack and reached the Transformation Sect’s fortified station at Hanging Peak Mountain.
• Lu Wenxuan heard their account of the vanished entrance, the attacks, and the Fox Clan’s destruction, then suspected the Veiling Spirit World was a lower plane of a Secret Realm above the Fourteenth Order.
• Lu Wenxuan recalled the Transformation Sect’s Void True God Realm cultivators and told them the entrances had disappeared and powerful Secret Realm beings were attacking at their locations.
• Lu Wenxuan proposed finding a way into the new Secret Realm, while ordering the deacons to keep their true bodies at Hanging Peak Mountain and send out puppets to investigate.
• Chen Fei took his position at an array node and began refining Top-Grade Great Dao Stones while examining the Time Source Pearl’s Spirit Rhyme.
• Hanging Peak Mountain’s formation barrier suddenly shook before Chen Fei had finished refining the stones.

Chang Yangyan attacked Hanging Peak Mountain with a Golden World, and Lu Wenxuan defended with the Thousand Leaf Formless Lotus before retreating behind the Mirror Moon Array. As the array withstood Chang Yangyan’s assault, another figure with a similar Golden World appeared and joined the attack.

• Chang Yangyan revealed his identity and unleashed a torrent of golden weapons against Lu Wenxuan and Hanging Peak Mountain.
• Lu Wenxuan used the Illusory Leaf Barrier to divert Chang Yangyan’s attacks, then expanded the Mirror Lotus World to counterattack and ease the pressure on his defense.
• Recognizing that he could not defeat Chang Yangyan, Lu Wenxuan withdrew into Hanging Peak Mountain and relied on the Mirror Moon Array and its Void True God Realm defenders.
• Chang Yangyan attacked the Mirror Moon Array while mocking its defenders, but Lu Wenxuan held his position and kept the formation defensive.
• A bewitching figure emerged from the void, addressed Chang Yangyan as Junior Brother Yangyan, and sent a similar Golden World and torrent of weapons against the array.

Lu Wenxuan and the Void True God cultivators of Hanging Peak Mountain struggled to hold off Chang Yangyan and Chang Yuning with the Mirror Moon Array. When a third Thirteenth-Order Limit expert arrived, Lu Wenxuan used the array’s final transformation to trap their attackers briefly and transport his people a million li away.

• Lu Wenxuan strengthened the Mirror Moon Array with twelve bronze pillars as Chang Yangyan and Chang Yuning bombarded it with golden weapons.
• Chang Yuning unleashed her Golden Great Sword, but Lu Wenxuan’s Thousand Leaf Return to Silence reflected its power and wounded Chang Yangyan.
• Chen Fei realized the array’s defenders were rapidly exhausting their essence energy and that their cautious defense left them at risk of being overwhelmed.
• A third Thirteenth-Order Limit expert arrived, leaving the Hanging Peak Mountain cultivators convinced the array could not withstand their combined assault.
• Lu Wenxuan activated Mirror Shatter, trapping the three attackers for three breaths and Transpositioning himself and the other fourteen Void True God Realm cultivators a million li away.

Chen Fei hid himself in a fish’s belly to evade Chang Yangyan after the Mirror Moon Array broke and the Hanging Peak Mountain cultivators came under attack. Although Chang Yangyan’s search seemed to pass, he remained concealed nearby while Chen Fei stayed motionless.

• Lu Wenxuan took five Void True God Realm cultivators into his plane and fled, while Chen Fei invited the others to escape with him.
• Tian Wentao and Shen Tingyu followed Chen Fei, and Chen Fei hid them inside the Ruin Realm before concealing his own Aura and plunging into the sea.
• Chen Fei entered a demon fish’s belly and suppressed his presence as Chang Yangyan searched the surrounding sea for the three fleeing cultivators.
• Chang Yangyan unleashed a Golden Divine Treasure attack that boiled the sea and killed the fish, but Chen Fei endured the heat without moving.
• Chen Fei considered that the Time Source Pearl’s Spirit Rhyme could provide insights but not enough foundational power to challenge a Thirteenth-Order Limit expert.
• Chang Yangyan remained hidden in a Space Rift after the sea fell quiet, while Chen Fei stayed inside the fish’s carbonized belly.
