Chapter Summaries

Lin Xuankong prepared to endure the planned battle by relying on his Source Stone Crystals, while the Kindling Organization assigned Wang Youlin’s Team Two to attack Yunqin Nation’s border and draw defenders away from Jianzhou City. Team One’s disguised advance toward Jianzhou City was slowed by Boundary Beasts, and its leaders debated whether to abandon secrecy and travel at full speed.

• Wu Xiang agreed with Lin Haoyun to hold out for three days while Team Zero searched Heshan, and Lin Xuankong concluded that he needed another way to replenish his source energy if many Fourth Tier experts attacked.
• Lin Xuankong recalled that his Ice Defense could withstand sustained Fourth Tier attacks with enough Source Stone Crystals and considered finding supplies at Yunqin Nation’s resource site.
• Wang Zuo assigned Wang Youlin to lead Team Two in attacking Yunqin Nation’s border defenses and cities three days later to draw experts away from Jianzhou City.
• Team One traveled through Lingzhou City disguised as ordinary bus passengers because Yunqin Nation’s Boundary Beasts monitored suspicious movement from the sky.
• With only eight hours before Team Two’s assault and several more days of travel ahead, a Fourth Tier Fire Gene expert from Yun Yue Nation urged Wu Xiang to abandon the disguise and hurry to Jianzhou City.

As Team One struggled to evade the flying beasts watching Jianzhou Province, Lin Xuankong revealed that his disciple Han Liu could use the Void Devouring Worm Manifestation Ability to tunnel underground. The team welcomed the discovery and prepared to rely on Han Liu to reach Jianzhou City covertly.

• Granny Jin warned that the flying beasts would detect Team One if they approached Jianzhou City too quickly.
• Lin Xuankong asked Han Liu to demonstrate the Void Devouring Worm Manifestation Ability, which Han Liu said he had awakened.
• Granny Jin and Wu Xiang celebrated Han Liu's ability after Zhao Jiulin vouched for him and offered to cover his Source Stone Crystal costs.
• Granny Jin apologized to Lin Xuankong, and the bus accelerated toward a dense forest.

Zhao Jiulin, Wu Xiang, and their allies planned Team One’s assault on Jianzhou City, assigning groups to destroy factories, research facilities, and resource depots. The chapter ended as Lin Xuankong, Han Liu, and their companions received orders to seize or destroy the city’s stored supplies.

• Zhao Jiulin and Wu Xiang condemned Yunqin Nation and its defectors, then declared their intent to attack Jianzhou City.
• Wu Xiang assigned himself, the two Grannies Jin, and Wu Chenlong to destroy the city’s industrial district and confront Blood Butcher Li Chui.
• Wu Xiang tasked his daughter and nine Fifth Tier experts with destroying research facilities and educational institutions and killing Yunqin Nation’s talented juniors.
• Han Liu realized that Lin Xuankong’s advice to conceal his Void Devouring Worm ability had protected him from being assassinated as a child.
• Wu Xiang assigned Lin Xuankong, Zhao Jiulin, Han Liu, and their companions to raid Jianzhou City’s resource warehouses and seize or destroy their contents.

Lin Xuankong’s group entered a major Jianzhou City cargo warehouse to loot its supplies, where Lin discovered vast Source Stone Crystal reserves and a powerful guard. The group realized the guard was likely Blood Butcher Li Chui, a Fourth Tier expert they could not safely confront.

• Wu Xiang assigned Lin Xuankong and Zhao Jiulin’s group to raid Jianzhou City’s important warehouses, and the group eagerly prepared for the mission.
• Nine hours later, Lin Xuankong, Zhao Jiulin, Han Liu, and their companions entered Warehouse No. 1 in disguise at Cargo Station No. 2.
• Lin Xuankong used True Sight to discover more than four hundred thousand Source Stone Crystals hidden in the warehouse’s underground chamber.
• Lin Xuankong warned the group that eight Fifth Tier experts and one exceptionally powerful Fourth Tier expert were guarding the warehouse.
• Zhao Jiulin suspected the guard was Blood Butcher Li Chui and warned that their group had almost no chance of defeating him.

Team One’s first and third groups launched attacks across Jianzhou Province, while Zhao Jiulin’s second group waited to see whether the explosions would draw Blood Butcher Li Chui away from the warehouse storeroom. As battles drew in powerful defenders, Lin Xuankong watched Li Chui’s post and hoped it would soon be safe for the second group to strike.

• The third group bombed research and educational facilities near Jianzhou City, while Wu Xiang’s first group struck Yunzhou City’s industrial and smelting base with far heavier explosives.
• You Rui urged the second group to act on schedule, but Zhao Jiulin ordered them to wait about ten minutes in hopes that the first group would lure Li Chui away.
• The second group concealed themselves among the warehouse workers as Gene Warriors and Gene Experts passed nearby without suspecting them.
• After five minutes, battles broke out at the first and third groups, and powerful experts rushed toward the attacks, with Fourth Tier super experts heading mainly toward Wu Xiang’s group.
• Lin Xuankong used True Sight to inspect the underground storeroom and watched for Li Chui to abandon his post.

Lin Xuankong and Zhao Jiulin waited for Blood Butcher Li Chui to leave the warehouse, while a devastating explosion from Group One revealed Granny Jin’s ability to amplify explosives and badly injured two Yunqin Nation Fourth Tier experts. When Li Chui rushed to Group One, Zhao Jiulin led the others in attacking the warehouse and its defenders.

• Lin Xuankong watched Li Chui remain in the underground chamber as Group One’s battle shook the freight station.
• Granny Jin’s amplified bomb exploded with immense force, and Zhao Jiulin explained that her ability had made the blast powerful enough to injure Fourth Tier experts.
• You Rui recognized two badly wounded Yunqin Nation Fourth Tier experts flying toward Jianzhou City, and Zhao Jiulin celebrated Group One’s apparent victory.
• Lin Xuankong saw Li Chui leave the warehouse to rush toward Group One and told Zhao Jiulin that their chance to act had arrived.
• Zhao Jiulin charged the warehouse, and his companions followed, killing hundreds of Yunqin Nation patrol warriors before they could report the attack.

Lin Xuankong used his enhanced water and ice abilities to freeze more than a dozen Yunqin Nation Fifth Tier experts outside the warehouse, then helped Sun Lin bind them with her super ancient tree. He urged the others to seize the stored resources and destroy the warehouses before reinforcements arrived.

• More than a dozen Yunqin Nation Fifth Tier experts charged out of the warehouse, but Lin Xuankong froze them in massive blocks of ice before they could attack.
• Lin Xuankong’s Water Source ability greatly boosted his water and ice techniques while reducing their energy cost, and Zhao Jiulin praised his strength.
• Lin Xuankong warned that reinforcements from Yunqin Nation and other nations could arrive soon, and ordered everyone to retrieve the resources and demolish the warehouses.
• Sun Lin used her super ancient tree to bind the immobilized experts and drain their source energy as Lin Xuankong withdrew the ice.
• Lin Xuankong praised Sun Lin’s ability to suppress the prisoners, and she credited his ice for making it possible to capture them so quickly.

Lin Xuankong and his allies looted Yunqin Nation’s supply warehouses, gathering an enormous stockpile of Source Stone Crystals while avoiding casualties. After raiding nearly twenty targets, the second group reached an underground passage near the first group’s battle and waited to assess whether they should intervene.

• Lin Xuankong and Sun Lin ignored the captured Fifth Tier experts and entered the warehouse, where Zhao Jiulin awarded Lin the Sixth Tier and Seventh Tier Source Stone Crystals.
• Han Liu declared that they should loot every Yunqin Nation warehouse for humanity’s sake, drawing laughter from You Rui and the others as he clutched his crystals.
• Zhao Jiulin assigned Lin and the Tang Nation fighters targets two through twenty, while the Yun Song Nation fighters took targets twenty-one through thirty-seven, before planning to move toward the first group.
• Lin Xuankong urged his allies to finish their raids before Blood Butcher Li Chui returned, and the group looted nearly twenty warehouses without losing anyone.
• Lin Xuankong led the group into Han Liu’s underground tunnel and recommended waiting near the first group’s battle instead of emerging and risking disruption to Wu Xiang and Granny Jin’s plans.

Team Two’s success remained secondary as the Gene Experts waited underground for Team One to draw away Yunqin Nation’s defenders. Lin Xuankong revealed that Huang Yuan had joined the battle and was suppressing five Fourth Tier Super Experts alone, leaving the Kindling Organization’s mission looking far more promising.

• Zhao Jiulin asked Lin Xuankong how the battle above was going, and Lin reported that nine Fourth Tier Super Experts were attacking Wu Xiang and four others.
• The Gene Experts feared that Team One could not withstand the overwhelming numbers, but Lin said Wu Xiang and the others were having an easy time.
• Lin revealed that Team One had a fifth Fourth Tier Super Expert: Kindling Organization Vice Chairman Huang Yuan, whose power exceeded that of the Yunqin Nation experts fighting her.
• Zhao Jiulin and the others grew hopeful when Lin estimated that Huang Yuan had advanced far into the Fourth Tier Life Tier.
• Lin saw Huang Yuan trap and suppress five Fourth Tier Super Experts with enormous tornadoes while Wu Xiang and the other Kindling Organization experts fought their opponents.

Huang Yuan’s Body of Qi let her withstand attacks from Yunqin Nation’s Fourth Tier experts while her allies gained the upper hand, and Zhao Jiulin learned that Wang Ze had contacted Team Zero about the hidden Energy Reservoir. The chapter ended with news that Team Three had run into overwhelming resistance at Yunqin Nation’s major Jianzhou research base, forcing Zhao Jiulin to ask Lin Xuankong what they should do.

• Huang Yuan used her tornado and Body of Qi to suppress five Fourth Tier experts, while Lin Xuankong recognized the ability’s extraordinary defensive potential.
• Zhao Jiulin contacted Wang Ze’s group and learned that Team Zero had found clues to the hidden Energy Reservoir in Heshan and might locate it within half an hour.
• Lin Xuankong argued that Yunqin Nation would not abandon every important site to confront Huang Yuan’s team, and Zhao Jiulin agreed they should be able to hold out.
• Zhao Jiulin received Wu Tu’s message that Team Three had encountered more than thirty veteran Fifth Tier experts at Yunqin Nation’s research base in Jianzhou Province.
• Zhao Jiulin explained the danger to Team Three’s mission and asked Lin Xuankong for his opinion.

Lin Xuankong decided to lead Team Two through Han Liu’s tunnel to help Team Three destroy Yunqin Nation’s research base, while the chapter showed Team Two’s assault on Polar Star Academy. Wu Tu badly wounded Vice President Guan, but Han Yu healed him, leaving the academy’s defenders ready to continue fighting.

• Lin Xuankong advised Zhao Jiulin that Team Two should help Team Three, and Han Liu opened a tunnel toward their location.
• Han Liu and Han Bao traded jokes, easing the tension as Team Two prepared to move.
• At Polar Star Academy, Wu Tu’s group fought Yunqin Nation’s defenders while Yi Xue and the other women watched.
• Wu Tu struck Vice President Guan with a special high-explosive grenade, blasting open his chest and setting his wounds aflame.
• Han Yu used the Heaven Returning Origin Technique to heal Guan Lü, and Wu Tu saw the recovery from a distance.

Wu Tu’s amplified grenades devastated the battlefield as she tried to kill Han Yu, but Hua Xiang’s flying needles intercepted them and protected Han Yu. Hua Xiang then offered to capture Wu Tu, and Yi Xue promised to seek a precious Fourth Tier Source Stone Crystal as a reward.

• Wu Tu realized Han Yu’s healing ability could keep Yunqin’s fighters in the battle, so she hurled amplified high-explosive grenades toward her.
• Hua Xiang sent nearly three hundred metal flying needles to detonate the grenades in midair, while the resulting fragments wounded fighters across the battlefield.
• Han Yu retreated to her Flying Source Beast, cursed Wu Tu and the Kindling Organization, and thanked Hua Xiang for protecting her.
• Hua Xiang explained her combat strength and proposed capturing Wu Tu alive and bringing her into the Yunqin Alliance.
• Yi Xue approved the plan and promised to record Hua Xiang’s achievement as the foremost merit and help her apply for a Fourth Tier Source Stone Crystal.

Hua Xiang attacked the Kindling Organization’s forces at Polar Star Academy after Yi Xue promised her a Fourth Tier Source Stone Crystal for capturing Wu Tu and protecting the academy. Wu Tu’s amplified grenades briefly scattered Hua Xiang’s silver needles, but the needles quickly regrouped, leaving Wu Tu worried that her dwindling supply of explosives would not hold out.

• Yi Xue promised Hua Xiang a Fourth Tier Source Stone Crystal if she captured Wu Tu and protected Polar Star Academy.
• Hua Xiang transformed her body into silver metal and sent a river of silver needles toward Wu Tu and the Kindling Organization.
• Wu Tu detonated amplified high-explosive alloy grenades, scattering nearly one-fifth of the silver needles and alarming the Yunqin Alliance experts with her power.
• Wu Tu realized her grenades were running low and that Hua Xiang’s silver needle river could quickly recover from attacks that did not use several grenades at once.
• Wu Tu continued suppressing Hua Xiang while wondering how long her remaining explosives would last and waiting for Zhao Jiulin’s forces to arrive.

Team Three's leader Wu Tu faced defeat against Hua Xiang's silver needles and the Yunqin Alliance's encirclement until Zhao Jiulin arrived with reinforcements. Hua Xiang welcomed the chance to capture them all, while Zhao Jiulin identified her as a formidable disciple of Yi Feifeng and prepared to test her strength.

• Wu Tu ordered Team Three to retreat after Hua Xiang sent two more rivers of silver needles at her, but Yi Xue's forces surrounded the team.
• As Wu Tu considered sacrificing herself to open an escape route, Zhao Jiulin and more than ten Gene Experts emerged from an underground tunnel and joined the fight.
• Hua Xiang celebrated the prospect of capturing Wu Tu, Zhao Jiulin, and their allies for a greater reward.
• Sun Lin and Han Liu challenged Hua Xiang, while Zhao Jiulin warned them of her standing among the Yunqin Alliance's Fifth Tier Experts and said he would test her strength.

Zhao Jiulin joined the battle and pushed through Hua Xiang’s silver flying-needle rivers, while reinforcements helped Third Squad resist the Yunqin Alliance. Lin Xuankong watched Yi Xue warily and prepared to act, as Zhao Jiulin challenged Hua Xiang to reveal her full strength.

• Zhao Jiulin charged into Hua Xiang’s attack, while Lin Xuankong sent Han Liu, Han Bao, and Zhu Ling to support Third Squad.
• Hua Xiang unleashed three more silver flying-needle rivers, but Zhao Jiulin’s Golden Bone Whip formed protective rings that withstood the attack as he advanced toward her.
• Han Liu, Sun Lin, and the other reinforcements helped Third Squad, easing its fighters’ pressure until Yi Xue ordered more than forty Yunqin Alliance experts into the battle.
• Lin Xuankong assessed the battlefield, focused on Yi Xue’s unknown ability, and decided to wait until he could observe it before striking.
• Zhao Jiulin laughed as he continued advancing and taunted Hua Xiang to unleash a stronger attack.

Hua Xiang unleashed her full power with fourteen silver flying needle rivers against Zhao Jiulin, but he revealed five Golden Bone Whips and advanced through the barrage. The chapter left Zhao closing in on Hua Xiang as the Kindling Organization’s fighters cheered his growing advantage.

• Hua Xiang summoned eight additional silver flying needle rivers, bringing her total to fourteen, and sent them against Zhao Jiulin.
• Yi Xue praised Hua Xiang’s ability, but Hua Xiang noticed Zhao Jiulin’s resistance growing stronger.
• Zhao Jiulin formed five Golden Bone Whips into layered ring-shaped defenses and pushed through the silver needle rivers toward Hua Xiang.
• Hua Xiang increased the needles’ power and redirected two rivers from Wu Tu’s fight, but they only slowed Zhao Jiulin’s advance.
• Zhao Jiulin accelerated toward Hua Xiang while Zhang Yun, Sun Lin, and the other Third Group members celebrated his strength.

Lin Xuankong watched Zhao Jiulin withstand Hua Xiang’s attack and considered forming a sworn-brother bond with him to gain his Golden Bone Whip ability. When Hua Xiang called for Yi Xue’s help, Yi Xue unleashed a power that darkened the sky and astonished the Yunqin Alliance’s experts.

• Zhao Jiulin advanced through Hua Xiang’s fourteen rivers of silver needles with his five Golden Bone Whips, while Lin Xuankong decided sworn brotherhood might let him acquire Zhao Jiulin’s ability.
• Hua Xiang, fearing she had lost her chance at Yi Feifeng’s Fourth Tier Source Stone Crystal, admitted she could no longer hold Zhao Jiulin back and asked Yi Xue for help.
• Yi Xue praised Zhao Jiulin’s defensive ability, but Zhao Jiulin stopped and challenged her to fight, insulting the Yunqin Alliance and declaring he would oppose even Yi Feifeng.
• Yi Xue pointed at Zhao Jiulin and commanded him to go, causing the sky across a vast area to darken beneath rolling clouds.
• The Yunqin Alliance’s Fifth Tier experts watched in astonishment as Yi Xue demonstrated power far beyond the abilities they had seen from Hua Xiang.

Yi Xue unleashed a vast elemental attack that overwhelmed the Kindling Organization’s experts, leaving Zhao Jiulin to confront her while Lin Xuankong watched for a chance to act. The chapter ended with Yi Xue dismissing Zhao as unworthy of a one-on-one fight.

• Yi Xue displayed an elemental control range spanning roughly a hundred kilometers, prompting Zhao Jiulin to strengthen his Golden Bone Whip defenses and Lin Xuankong to wonder what treasure or inheritance empowered her.
• Lin Xuankong decided to let Zhao test Yi Xue’s abilities before he attempted to capture her and learn the secret behind her expanded range.
• Hua Xiang withdrew her fourteen rivers of silver needles and yielded the fight to Yi Xue, increasing Zhao’s concern about Yi Xue’s strength.
• Yi Xue filled the area with metallic silver snowflakes that shattered reinforced rocks and targeted Kindling Organization fighters while leaving Yunqin Alliance experts untouched.
• Lin Xuankong warned the Kindling Organization to avoid the snowflakes, and Zhao charged at Yi Xue to draw her attention away from the others.
• Yi Xue mocked Zhao as an unworthy opponent and continued attacking dozens of Kindling Organization experts at once.

Zhao Jiulin attacked Yi Xue, but her silver snowflakes stopped his Golden Bone Whips and forced him into a defensive stance. Lin Xuankong held back to observe her abilities, suspecting that the Yunqin Alliance expert had yet to reveal her full strength.

• Zhao Jiulin rushed toward Yi Xue and attacked with his Golden Bone Whips, but her spinning silver snowflakes blocked every strike thirty-six centimeters from her body.
• Yi Xue unleashed millions of silver snowflakes at Zhao Jiulin, forcing him to withdraw his whips into a ring-shaped defense.
• Zhao Jiulin’s whips shook and suffered cuts under the snowflakes’ relentless assault, but they continued to protect him.
• You Rui urged Lin Xuankong to wait and observe whether Yi Xue had stronger abilities before making a move.
• Lin Xuankong agreed to hold back and considered Yi Xue’s range and power, concluding that she likely had not reached her limit.

Lin Xuankong sent Han Liu, Sun Lin, and Wu Tu to support Zhao Jiulin and attack Yi Xue. Their combined assault disrupted Yi Xue’s silver snowflake barrage, but Wu Tu’s bombs mysteriously failed to detonate beside Yi Xue.

• Lin Xuankong warned Han Liu, Sun Lin, and Wu Tu that Yi Xue might have stronger abilities and told them to retreat if they could not withstand her.
• Han Liu and Sun Lin went to assist Zhao Jiulin, while Wu Tu moved in to attack Yi Xue.
• Sun Lin’s ancient trees blasted apart Yi Xue’s silver snowflakes, and Han Liu’s Void Devouring Worm swallowed them as they fell.
• Wu Tu hurled more than ten high-explosive alloy bombs at Yi Xue, but they all failed to detonate when they reached her.
• Wu Tu was astonished when she could not activate any of the bombs near Yi Xue.
