Chapter Summaries

Yi Xue effortlessly nullified Wu Tu’s explosives and tried to recruit her to the Yunqin Alliance, but Wu Tu refused and fled when Yi Xue demonstrated a terrifying new attack. Zhao Jiulin, Han Liu, and Sun Lin joined forces against Yi Xue, while the Void Devouring Worm and three super ancient trees also attacked.

• Yi Xue stopped Wu Tu’s high-explosive bombs and super alloy bombs from detonating, then praised Wu Tu’s abilities and offered her a place in the Yunqin Alliance.
• Wu Tu rejected Yi Xue’s offer, denounced the Yunqin Alliance’s ties to the Zhongji Star God Race, and refused to believe its promises.
• Yi Xue shattered the nearby bombs and grenades with a wave of her hand, prompting Wu Tu to throw her remaining weapons and retreat in panic.
• Zhao Jiulin warned Han Liu and Sun Lin not to underestimate Yi Xue, activated his ring-shaped defense, and charged at her.
• Han Liu and Sun Lin followed Zhao Jiulin, while the Void Devouring Worm and three super ancient trees attacked Yi Xue.

Yi Xue used vast swarms of silver snowflakes to hold off Zhao Jiulin, Sun Lin, and Han Liu as they pushed toward her, destroying Han Liu’s Void Devouring Worm manifestations and steadily increasing the pressure on the trio. When they were finally stalled about two hundred meters away, Yi Xue’s source energy surged toward the limit of a fifth-tier Gene Expert, signaling that she was about to use her strongest trump card.

• Yi Xue’s silver snowflakes knocked Sun Lin’s alloy spikes aside and destroyed Han Liu’s successive Void Devouring Worms, injuring him through their backlash.
• Zhao Jiulin expanded his Golden Bone Whip’s defense to protect Sun Lin and Han Liu, and the three advanced while replenishing their source energy with Source Stone Crystals.
• Gene Experts from both sides watched the clash, while You Rui and Lin Xuankong feared Yi Xue had not yet revealed her full strength and discussed the threat posed by the Zhongji Star Demons.
• Lin Xuankong noticed Yi Xue’s source energy accelerating and said Han Liu had forced her to use her strongest trump card.
• Zhao Jiulin, Sun Lin, and Han Liu were stopped about two hundred meters from Yi Xue as her silver snowflakes overwhelmed their advance and her source energy reached its utmost limit.

Yi Xue used her inherited Power of Frost to plunge Jianzhou City into extreme cold and weaken the Kindling Organization fighters’ source energy. As her freezing attack broke through Zhao Jiulin’s defenses, silver snowflakes threatened him, Sun Lin, and Han Liu.

• Han Liu rejected Yi Xue’s demand to surrender and mocked her while continuing to attack with his Void Devouring Worm.
• Yi Xue unleashed the Power of Frost, spreading a severe temperature drop across Jianzhou City and slowing the fighters’ source energy.
• Yi Xue pursued Han Liu, Sun Lin, and Zhao Jiulin as they tried to retreat, warning that she would freeze them if they did not surrender.
• Zhao Jiulin urged Sun Lin and Han Liu to flee while he held Yi Xue off, but Sun Lin refused to abandon her master.
• Yi Xue’s silver snowflakes pierced cracks in Zhao Jiulin’s Golden Bone Whip defense and attacked him, Sun Lin, and Han Liu.

Zhao Jiulin, Sun Lin, and Han Liu struggled to withstand Yi Xue’s near-absolute-zero assault until Lin Xuankong arrived to face her. Lin Xuankong activated his strongest defenses and prepared for battle, while Yi Xue confidently threatened to capture him.

• Yi Xue’s silver snowflakes wounded Sun Lin and Han Liu as Zhao Jiulin strained to protect them with his Golden Bone Whip.
• Sun Lin and Han Liu exchanged words of admiration and stood together despite their worsening injuries.
• Lin Xuankong arrived, prompting Han Liu and Zhao Jiulin to welcome his intervention while Sun Lin hoped he could turn the fight around.
• Yi Xue recognized Lin Xuankong and boasted that she would defeat and capture him to damage the Kindling Organization’s morale.
• Lin Xuankong faced Yi Xue from a distance and activated his Primordial Vajra Body and several other powerful abilities.

Lin Xuankong fought Yi Xue, whose silver snowflake assault steadily outpaced his rapidly regenerating Ice Defense after she boosted her power with the lost treasure of the Zhongji Star Demon. As his defenses began to thin, Zhao Jiulin and Sun Lin questioned whether he could withstand her attack, leaving the battle’s outcome uncertain.

• Lin Xuankong challenged Yi Xue to see who would tire first, and she unleashed a vast storm of silver snowflakes at him.
• Lin Xuankong formed a thick Ice Defense barrier and continually rebuilt it from scattered ice chips, but he could not convert Yi Xue’s controlled snowflakes into water elements.
• Yi Xue recognized Lin Xuankong’s exceptional command of water and ice, then used the lost treasure of the Zhongji Star Demon to intensify her attack.
• The snowflakes began destroying Lin Xuankong’s defenses faster than he could restore them, and the barrier gradually thinned.
• Zhao Jiulin praised Lin Xuankong’s defenses and potential, while Sun Lin asked her master who would win the ongoing battle.

Lin Xuankong surprised both sides by replacing his nearly depleted Ice Defense with a sphere hundreds of meters thick, restoring the Kindling Organization’s hope that he could stand against Yi Xue. As the battle continued, Lin Xuankong noticed the green skull at Yi Xue’s waist glowing whenever she used her ability, and suspected it was amplifying her power.

• Sun Lin worried that Lin Xuankong’s thin Ice Defense would soon fail, but Han Liu insisted that Lin had barely begun fighting.
• Lin Xuankong suddenly formed a massive Ice Defense sphere hundreds of meters thick around himself, astonishing Sun Lin and Yi Xue.
• Yunqin Alliance’s experts marveled at Lin Xuankong’s ability, while Kindling Organization’s members regained hope that he could withstand Yi Xue.
• Lin Xuankong used True Sight to notice the green skull at Yi Xue’s waist glowing whenever she activated her ability.
• Lin Xuankong suspected that Yi Xue’s green skull was a treasure that strengthened or extended her Special Genetic Ability.

Lin Xuankong recognized Yi Xue’s green skull relic as a Zhongji Star treasure and resolved to take it, while Yi Feifeng ordered Yi Feng to defend the Gate of Advent at Heshan. At Polar Star Academy, Yi Xue used the relic to summon a ten-thousand-meter snow giant that repeatedly battered Lin Xuankong’s Ice Defense sphere.

• Lin Xuankong identified Yi Xue’s green skull as a relic from Zhongji Star and decided to defeat her and seize it.
• Yi Xue activated the skull, boosting her power and drawing silver snowflakes from across the surrounding region into a colossal snow giant.
• Yi Feifeng dismissed concerns about Yi Xue’s battle and told Yi Feng to gather Fourth Tier experts to protect the Gate of Advent and Energy Reservoir at Heshan.
• Yi Feifeng reflected that her cooperation with Zhongji Star was, in her view, a way to preserve humanity and obtain power, while secretly hoping the Kindling Organization would remain useful to her.
• The snow giant struck Lin Xuankong’s Ice Defense sphere hundreds of times in seconds, cracking and deforming it before his energy restored it.

Lin Xuankong summoned an enormous ice giant to fight Yi Xue’s silver snowflake giant, hoping to seize the relic that empowered her. When Yi Xue called forth two more giants, Lin Xuankong answered by summoning nine super ice giants, leaving the battle poised to turn in his favor.

• Lin Xuankong formed an ice giant taller than Yi Xue’s silver snowflake giant, and the two clashed while their shockwaves damaged nearby buildings.
• Yi Xue recognized Lin Xuankong’s talent and decided to capture him for her mother, Yi Feifeng, while summoning two additional silver snowflake giants.
• Lin Xuankong judged that he needed to end the fight quickly and drew on numerous Sixth and Seventh Tier Source Stone Crystals.
• Lin Xuankong summoned nine super ice giants, outnumbering Yi Xue’s three silver snowflake giants.
• Han Liu marveled at Lin Xuankong’s power, while Sun Lin and the other observers felt overwhelmed by the battle’s scale.

Lin Xuankong overwhelmed Yi Xue and trapped her, Han Yu, and Hua Xiang in a vast prison of ice, but a deadly presence from Jianzhou City then threatened him. As Lin Xuankong prepared for a possible attack from a powerful fourth-tier expert, a blinding radiance suddenly appeared over Heshan.

• Lin Xuankong summoned eighteen giant ice beings, which tore apart Yi Xue's three silver snowflake giants and injured her through the backlash.
• Lin Xuankong pursued the retreating Yi Xue, Han Yu, and Hua Xiang, then trapped them inside a rapidly thickening, thousand-meter layer of ice.
• Yi Xue threatened to repay Lin Xuankong, but he said she would not escape and focused on the Zhongji Star treasure at her waist.
• Lin Xuankong sensed lethal intent from a fourth-tier expert in Jianzhou City and activated his defensive abilities in preparation for an attack.
• A dazzling light erupted from the direction of Heshan, outshining the sun.

Lin Xuankong overwhelmed Yi Xue, Hua Xiang, and Han Yu, then stole Yi Xue’s Zhongji Star relic as his team prepared to withdraw from Polar Star Academy. The chapter ended with Wu Tu proposing that they exploit the chance to act against the three trapped Yunqin Alliance experts.

• A massive explosion drew the attention of the powerful expert watching Lin Xuankong, and Lin concluded that Wang Ze’s Team Zero had destroyed the Gate of Advent’s Energy Reservoir.
• Lin Xuankong used the Ice Imprisonment to suppress Hua Xiang’s silver needles and bind Hua Xiang, Yi Xue, and Han Yu.
• Lin Xuankong took Yi Xue’s Zhongji Star relic and told her he would borrow it before storing it away.
• Lin Xuankong declared the third group’s mission at Polar Star Academy complete, and Zhao Jiulin agreed that the team should withdraw.
• Wu Tu suggested taking advantage of Yi Xue, Hua Xiang, and Han Yu being trapped.

Lin Xuankong led his group away after trapping Yi Xue, Hua Xiang, and Han Yu, choosing to protect his people rather than risk a confrontation with Yi Feifeng. At Nu Mountain, Wang Ze praised the teams for completing their missions, and Wang Youlin vowed to revive Team Two’s fallen members through cloning technology.

• Wu Tu urged Lin Xuankong to kill the trapped Yunqin Alliance experts, but Lin Xuankong argued that Yi Feifeng might intervene and ordered everyone to withdraw safely.
• Lin Xuankong and Zhao Jiulin led their group away, while Han Liu hid his relationship with Han Yu and resolved to rely on Lin Xuankong to reunite with her.
• Wang Ze addressed the returning teams at Nu Mountain and praised their contributions to the Kindling Organization’s operations.
• Wang Ze’s forces had destroyed the Gate of Advent’s Energy Reservoir, delaying its opening by about three years, and Team Zero had escaped without casualties.
• Wang Youlin reported that Team Two had lost six Peak Fifth Tier experts and dozens of Sixth Tier experts, then said he had collected the fallen members’ memory matrices for future cloning and revival.

After the Kindling Organization’s costly operation, Wang Ze rallied its members by emphasizing their gains and his ability to withstand Yi Feifeng. He then praised Lin Xuankong for defeating Yi Xue and destroying Polar Star Academy, leaving the organization encouraged by its strength against the Yunqin Alliance.

• Wang Zuo reminded the Kindling Organization that memory replicas could preserve some fallen members and that the operation had delayed the Gate of Advent by three years.
• Wang Ze said he had fought Yi Feifeng and brought his allies safely out of the encirclement, while Lin Haoyun claimed Wang Ze could have matched her without the Zhongji Star relic.
• Lin Xuankong considered how Wang Ze had protected his team and wondered whether his Special Armor had helped him withstand Yi Feifeng’s attacks.
• Wang Ze announced that Lin Xuankong had completed Team One’s Second Squad’s tasks, destroyed Polar Star Academy, and defeated Yi Xue.
• The Kindling Organization members questioned whether Lin Xuankong could really have beaten Yi Xue, and Wang Ze affirmed his disciple’s achievements while hoping more powerful geniuses would emerge.

Wang Zuo warned Lin Xuankong that the Yunqin Alliance planned to investigate Wang Ze’s Purple Qi Armor and assassinate Lin before he reached the Fourth Tier. Wang Ze offered to teach Lin how to craft the armor, while a powerful Yunqin Alliance expert arrived at Nu Mountain too late to find the group and revealed he had fused with a fourth-grade Zhongji Star relic.

• Wang Zuo told Lin Xuankong that the Yunqin Alliance had approved plans to investigate the Purple Qi Armor and send assassins, including several Fourth Tier Super Experts, after him.
• Lin Xuankong considered the danger of a surprise attack, and Han Liu loudly declared that no assassination scheme could stop his master.
• Wang Ze distributed rewards and arranged for the teams to depart, while Wang Zuo urged Lin to move Shelter No. 36 to the Zhennan Royal Family headquarters for protection and resources.
• Wang Ze offered to teach Lin Xuankong how to craft the Purple Qi Armor and took him, Wang Zuo, and their people away from Nu Mountain.
• A Yunqin Alliance Fourth Tier expert reached Nu Mountain a day later, found traces of the gathering, and explained that his fusion with a fourth-grade Zhongji Star relic had delayed his assassination mission.

Jiao Yilan and Guan Chong planned how to capture Lin Xuankong and his companions without confronting Wang Ze and Huang Yuan directly. At Shelter No. 36, Lin Xuankong examined the Purple Qi Armor and learned from Wang Ze that it was connected to Great Emperor Yinhe but had been forged by neither him nor the previous era’s Mars humans.

• Jiao Yilan warned Guan Chong that Wang Ze and Huang Yuan were too powerful to confront directly and outlined plans to wait for them to leave or lure them away before attacking Shelter No. 36.
• Guan Chong agreed to lead Fifth Tier assassins against Lin Xuankong and the others, and Jiao Yilan set a three-month deadline for the mission.
• In Factory No. 1, Lin Xuankong examined the Purple Qi Armor and sensed its immense Source Energy, life force, and power.
• Lin Xuankong questioned Wang Ze about the armor’s origin and suggested it might be linked to Great Emperor Yinhe.
• Wang Ze confirmed the Purple Qi Armor was related to Great Emperor Yinhe but said neither he nor the previous era’s Mars human experts had forged it.

Wang Ze and Huang Yuan explained the ancient origins of Purple Qi Armor and gave Lin Xuankong the method for forging its weaker imitation, hoping the Kindling Organization could strengthen itself against the Yunqin Alliance and future Zhongji Star Demons. Lin Xuankong began studying the method, while his teacher and mistress wagered on how quickly he could master it.

• Wang Ze told Lin Xuankong that Great Emperor Yinhe had recovered the Purple Qi Armor from an ancient Source Artifact stele and had developed a Pseudo Purple Qi Armor with only a fraction of its defensive power.
• Wang Ze explained that mass-producing Pseudo Purple Qi Armor could help the Kindling Organization resist the Yunqin Alliance, whose strongest experts possessed scarce Zhongji Star relics.
• Wang Ze revealed that he and Huang Yuan had spent more than half a year and countless failed attempts reproducing the forging method, then gave Lin Xuankong a USB drive containing it.
• Lin Xuankong agreed to study the method and forge Pseudo Purple Qi Armor under Wang Ze and Huang Yuan's guidance, though he kept his own artifact-forging ability to himself.
• Huang Yuan wagered that Lin Xuankong could master the method within four months; Wang Ze accepted, with the loser taking on all household chores for the next hundred years.

Lin Xuankong studied the Kindling Organization’s Pseudo Purple Qi Armor refining method and recognized its potential to protect him from Fourth Tier assassins. After viewing the full demonstration, he realized that although the original materials for a true Purple Qi Armor were gone, his experience substituting materials might let him overcome that shortage, leaving him eager to act.

• Huang Yuan urged Lin Xuankong to master the Pseudo Purple Qi Armor method and reminded him of her wager with Wang Ze, while Wang Ze encouraged him but warned that the process demanded extreme precision.
• Lin Xuankong watched the refining demonstrations at triple speed and considered how the armor could defend him against the Fourth Tier experts who might try to assassinate him.
• Lin Xuankong realized the method could potentially produce a true Purple Qi Armor, but that its required materials had disappeared from Mars.
• Lin Xuankong reasoned that his past success using substitute materials to refine higher-grade artifacts might let him overcome the shortage, then finished the videos and looked toward Wang Ze and Huang Yuan with growing anticipation.

Lin Xuankong identified scarce materials needed to forge Pseudo Purple Qi Armor and proposed replacing them with Source Beast materials he knew from Stone City. He sent Han Bao and Han Liu to gather large quantities of those substitutes within three days, preparing to test whether they could enable more armor to be forged.

• Wang Ze and Huang Yuan explained that the rare materials required for Pseudo Purple Qi Armor were scarce and that failed substitution experiments could waste many other supplies.
• Lin Xuankong sensed the properties of the three rare materials and concluded that Source Beast materials from around Stone City could replace them, potentially adding source-energy recovery to the armor.
• Wang Ze and Huang Yuan left for the Western Ring Ocean to hunt more Deep Sea Grass Mothers and Deep Sea Mad Fish.
• Lin Xuankong summoned Han Bao and Han Liu and gave them lists of substitute materials to collect, asking them to gather more than five hundred jin of each within three days.

Guan Chong’s squad watched Shelter No. 36 and planned to wait until Jiao Yilan attacked Wang Ze and Huang Yuan before attempting to assassinate Lin Xuankong. Meanwhile, Lin Xuankong inspected the materials his disciples gathered and promised to teach them how to refine Pseudo Purple Qi Armor.

• Guan Chong rejected his subordinate’s proposal to attack Lin Xuankong immediately and ordered the squad to keep watching Shelter No. 36.
• Guan Chong revealed that Jiao Yilan would lead an attack on Wang Ze and Huang Yuan within a day, creating a safer opportunity to target Lin Xuankong.
• Han Liu showed Lin Xuankong the materials gathered by Han Bao, Han Liu, and Zhu Ling, which exceeded his request sixfold and met his quality standards.
• Lin Xuankong praised his disciples’ contribution and invited them to request rewards.
• Han Bao asked to learn how Lin Xuankong would refine Pseudo Purple Qi Armor, and Lin Xuankong promised to teach all three disciples the method.

Lin Xuankong began an experimental refinement of Pseudo Purple Qi Armor, teaching his disciples and Sun Lin the method while adapting it to substitute materials. As the armor reached its final forging stage, his observers worried that his extensive changes might cause the first attempt to fail.

• Lin Xuankong invited You Rui, Han Bao, Han Liu, and Zhu Ling to learn how to refine Pseudo Purple Qi Armor and allowed Han Liu to bring Sun Lin.
• Lin Xuankong scolded Han Liu for failing to arrange a proper wedding with Sun Lin, then promised Han Bao would help organize it.
• Two days later, Lin Xuankong placed the shaped armor in an alloy cauldron and began its final forging and source energy infusion as You Rui, Han Bao, Han Liu, Zhu Ling, and Sun Lin watched.
• You Rui led the observers out of the refining room and advised them to review Lin Xuankong's process while he completed the lengthy infusion.
• Han Bao, Han Liu, Zhu Ling, and Sun Lin questioned Lin Xuankong's extensive changes to the established methods, and they worried that his first experimental refinement might fail.

Lin Xuankong finished refining a silver-white armor from altered materials and tested it on Zhao Yi, a newly awakened Gene Warrior from Shelter No. 36. The armor transformed into points of light and wrapped around Zhao Yi, leaving You Rui and the others stunned as they recognized its resemblance to the Pseudo Purple Qi Armor.

• You Rui arranged guards for Lin Xuankong's refining room and warned everyone to watch for Yunqin Alliance assassins targeting him.
• Three days later, You Rui and the others brought Zhao Yi, a newly awakened Ninth Tier Gene Warrior, to Lin Xuankong for an experiment.
• Lin Xuankong told Zhao Yi that the experiment should be safe and promised him the armor if it succeeded.
• Zhao Yi infused the silver-white armor with source energy, and it dissolved into points of light before forming around his body.
• You Rui, Han Bao, Han Liu, Zhu Ling, and Sun Lin recognized the armor's transformation as resembling the Pseudo Purple Qi Armor.
