Chapter Summaries

Jiang Liu broke through to the Third-Tier Divine Realm by completing his divine soul and circulating the Heavenly Evolution Codex, then confirmed his new realm on the Data Panel. He prepared to explore the Black Hole Space, but his Divine Sense revealed that the space had changed and still held no trace of Long Wave Sword God or Feng Changtian.

• Jiang Liu's breakthrough unleashed immense pressure and Primal Qi Storms that destroyed nearby insect beasts and altered the space's light.
• Jiang Liu realized he had reached the Divine Realm through his own Primal Qi rather than relying on avatars, giving him a stronger foundation and combat strength.
• Jiang Liu checked the Data Panel and confirmed his realm as Divine Fusion Realm.
• Jiang Liu put on clothes from the System Space, verified that his blood and qi had recovered, and released his Divine Sense to examine the Black Hole Space.
• Jiang Liu found the space brightly lit but saw no living creatures beyond the insect beasts, no trace of his spilled blood, and no sign of Long Wave Sword God or Feng Changtian.

After reaching the Third-Tier Divine Realm, Jiang Liu explored the Black Hole Space, suspecting it was made of countless overlapping spaces. He searched for a way to find Long Wave Sword God, Feng Changtian, and the others, while hoping to uncover a path to the Supreme God Realm.

• Jiang Liu worried that the Black Hole Space contained multiple overlapping spaces, with different dangers that might threaten Long Wave Sword God and Feng Changtian.
• Jiang Liu considered what he knew about spatial formations and concluded that brute force might not break the space, which had withstood his breakthrough.
• Jiang Liu decided to explore the space and flew toward an unusual trace of movement in his Divine Sea.
• Jiang Liu discovered that reaching the Third-Tier Divine Realm had greatly increased his speed and made his primordial energy respond instantly to his thoughts.
• Jiang Liu examined the Black Hole Space, suspecting that its spaces had been cut out and overlapped, and hoped to find the others and a path to the Supreme God Realm.

Jiang Liu found a connection to another space inside Black Hole Space and discovered that it contained burning flying beasts and flammable powder. He suspected that multiple independent spaces had been fused together and began searching for their connections, leaving his search for Long Wave Sword God and Feng Changtian aside for now.

• Jiang Liu detected an anomaly in Black Hole Space and tore open a spatial wrinkle, revealing tiny flying beasts that emitted light as they burned.
• Jiang Liu found that the beasts passed through his hand and, after sensing no reaction in his Divine Sea, tested the space with the Godslayer Blade.
• Jiang Liu's slash ignited real flammable powder and revealed spatial wrinkles, leading him to suspect that multiple spaces overlapped there.
• Jiang Liu decided to study how the spaces connected and spread out his Divine Sense to trace their boundaries.

Jiang Liu realized that mastering rules, rather than breaking them, could be the path to the Supreme God Realm, and suspected a hidden Supreme God Realm expert had created the space around him. He cautiously set out to study the space’s boundary and rules so he could escape without attracting the Divine Realm Guardian.

• Jiang Liu sensed that the spatial changes before him resembled control over Space Rules and connected this insight to a passage in the "Celestial Evolution Record."
• Jiang Liu concluded that the Human Realm's Heavenly Dao was far weaker than the rule-controlling power he had encountered, though he planned to discuss its nature with the Heavenly Dao.
• Jiang Liu suspected a hidden Supreme God Realm expert had created the space and worried that Long Wave Sword God and Feng Changtian might be exposed or killed.
• Jiang Liu wondered whether a flaw in the space had made it accessible and considered whether he could use that flaw to escape.
• Jiang Liu prepared to explore the spatial boundary with layered vital-energy barriers, hoping to learn its rules without damaging it or alerting the Divine Realm Guardian.

Jiang Liu searched the assembled space for a way out, unaware that a hidden tentacle was approaching him. The chapter recounted how the Long Wave Sword God was abducted, ensnared by an illusion and a glowing insect, and then possessed by it.

• Jiang Liu examined the space for clues to escape, while its darkness spread and a concealed tentacle reached toward him.
• A black hole swallowed the Long Wave Sword God as he guarded Feng Changsheng's formation, dragging him into a hidden space.
• The Long Wave Sword God endured an illusory attack that drained his primordial qi and weakened his Divine Sense until he fainted.
• A tentacle carried the unconscious Long Wave Sword God away, and he later awoke trapped before a glowing insect.
• The insect's wingbeats and a whisper entranced the Long Wave Sword God, who knelt before it as it transformed into white light and entered his body.

Jiang Liu confronted the Supreme God Realm Voidnether Worm, which had been weakened and imprisoned by Tian Lan’s restriction, and resisted its mental assault with the Phantom Soul Flute. As the worm continued attacking, countless rays of light closed in around Jiang Liu unnoticed.

• Jiang Liu sensed danger, struck behind him with the Godslayer Blade, and wounded the concealed Voidnether Worm.
• Jiang Liu recognized the worm as a Supreme God Realm expert weakened by Tian Lan’s restriction and decided to test his strength against it.
• The Voidnether Worm tried to seize Jiang Liu’s mind and revealed that it needed intruding martial artists to help undo its restriction.
• The Voidnether Worm unleashed a cry that reshaped the space, and Jiang Liu retreated while blocking its mental attack with God Fills the World on the Phantom Soul Flute.
• Fine rays of light blended into the space and closed around Jiang Liu while he remained focused on the mental-power clash.

Jiang Liu fought the trapped Voidnether Worm, combining flute-born illusions with essence-energy blades to discover a powerful new attack method. As the worm compressed the surrounding space and raised its assault, Jiang Liu put away his flute and charged with the Godslayer Blade.

• The Voidnether Worm used sonic attacks, shattered space, and glowing insects to pressure Jiang Liu as he retreated and defended himself with essence-energy barriers.
• Jiang Liu reasoned that the worm's strength was diminished because it was trapped, then combined God Fills the World with his essence energy to create blades and strike with Divine Strike.
• Jiang Liu realized the new attack united his essence energy and mental power, but consumed both heavily.
• The Voidnether Worm made the surrounding walls compress inward, attached its glowing insects to them, and turned them crimson with heat.
• Recognizing the danger and the gap between their realms, Jiang Liu stowed the Phantom Soul Flute, drew the Godslayer Blade, and attacked with Phantom Stomp and Divine Strike.

Jiang Liu fought the Voidnether Worm and the mind-controlled Long Wave Sword God, then escaped the insect beast’s attack and returned to the sea. The Data Panel concealed him from the Divine Realm Guardian, and Jiang Liu began recovering while keeping the traversal point marked so he could return.

• Jiang Liu disrupted the Voidnether Worm’s attacks and launched a series of sword strikes, but the Long Wave Sword God appeared and attacked him from behind.
• Jiang Liu recognized that the Voidnether Worm had controlled the Long Wave Sword God and dodged their combined attacks while focusing on the insect beast.
• The Voidnether Worm’s Ray Worms and spatial pressure trapped Jiang Liu, but his escape caused the Ray Worms to collide with the Long Wave Sword God and the walls.
• Jiang Liu vanished from the dark space, and the Long Wave Sword God disappeared as the Voidnether Worm searched for him in vain.
• Jiang Liu appeared above the sea, realized the Data Panel had hidden him from the Divine Realm Guardian, and used the Heaven Evolution Codex to recover.

Jiang Liu returned to the black hole to rescue Long Wave Sword God and Feng Changtian, but found that both had been controlled by the insect beast. After escaping their coordinated attack, he decided to awaken them by targeting their souls.

• Jiang Liu moved far from Feng Changsheng's island, then used his traversal point to return to the black hole unnoticed.
• Feng Changsheng sensed a fleeting Third-Tier Divine Realm aura and wondered whether to ask the Divine Realm Guardian to rescue Feng Changtian.
• Jiang Liu attacked a flaw in the black hole's space, triggering the insect beast to reveal Feng Changtian and Long Wave Sword God.
• Feng Changtian and Long Wave Sword God attacked Jiang Liu together, but he escaped their encirclement with Nebula Shrunken Earth.
• Jiang Liu concluded that the insect beast had weakened from controlling the two men and planned to use his soul-controlling abilities to awaken them.

Jiang Liu tried to free Long Wave Sword God and Feng Changtian from the Voidnether Worm’s control by using his flute and attempting to construct a Phantom Sound Space. His first attempt at forming the space collapsed under the strain, leaving him vulnerable to Feng Changtian’s sword thrust.

• The Voidnether Worm strengthened its control over Long Wave Sword God and Feng Changtian as Jiang Liu’s flute briefly interrupted their attacks.
• Jiang Liu evaded the two martial artists while playing God Fills the World and considered how to rescue them without feeding the beast’s control.
• Jiang Liu decided to build a Phantom Sound Space to isolate his flute attacks and shield the two from the Voidnether Worm.
• Jiang Liu tried to assemble the space from countless vital-energy blocks, but they collapsed before he could gather enough.
• Feng Changtian seized the opening and thrust his sword at Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu experimented with forming a Phantom Sound Space while fighting Feng Changtian and Long Wave Sword God, but the Voidnether Worm disrupted his attempt. After replenishing his Primal Qi and spiritual power, he successfully tested the technique on a sea beast and became confident he could use it to trap the two men.

• Jiang Liu dodged Feng Changtian and Long Wave Sword God's attacks while attempting to control Primal Qi blocks with the Xiao Sound Illusion Formation.
• The Voidnether Worm compressed the space around Jiang Liu and shattered his Primal Qi blocks, forcing him to use traversal to escape.
• Jiang Liu replenished his Primal Qi and spiritual power by circulating the Heavenly Evolution Codex outside the hidden space.
• Jiang Liu used the Xiao Sound Illusion Formation to surround a fish-like sea beast with Primal Qi blocks and seal it inside an isolated space.
• Jiang Liu found that he could not sense what happened inside the sealed space unless he controlled the blocks, and grew confident he could trap Long Wave Sword God and Feng Changtian.

Jiang Liu returned to the insect beast’s secret space to free the Long Wave Sword God and Feng Changtian, but they and the Ray Worms attacked him while the insect beast remained hidden. After struggling to form a Phantom Sound Space around Feng Changtian, Jiang Liu changed tactics and successfully trapped the Long Wave Sword God.

• Jiang Liu practiced constructing the Phantom Sound Space on the sea beasts, then recovered and used Traversal to return to the secret space.
• The Long Wave Sword God and Feng Changtian attacked Jiang Liu alongside the converging Ray Worms, while their improved combat abilities suggested the insect beast was recovering.

• Jiang Liu reduced the number of cubes he controlled and redirected them toward the Long Wave Sword God.
• Jiang Liu formed a Phantom Sound Space around the Long Wave Sword God, trapping him inside without the space collapsing.

Jiang Liu used his Phantom Sound Space to restrain Long Wave Sword God and sever the Voidnether Worm’s control over him, but Feng Changtian’s strength surged to the full level of a Third-Tier Divine Realm expert. Jiang Liu struggled to contain Feng Changtian while maintaining the space, as the recovering insect beast joined the attack and threatened to overwhelm him.

• Jiang Liu realized his Phantom Sound Space had improved his control over mental power, vital energy, and space, and planned to use it to rescue Feng Changtian and Long Wave Sword God.
• Feng Changtian attacked Jiang Liu, who dodged with Nebula Shrunken Earth and tried to surround him with vital-energy cubes.
• Feng Changtian erupted with power, shattered the cubes, and destabilized the Phantom Sound Space before reaching the battle power of a true Third-Tier Divine Realm expert.
• Jiang Liu maintained the xiao music to defend against Feng Changtian and keep Long Wave Sword God restrained while the Voidnether Worm coordinated attacks through the surrounding space.
• Jiang Liu sensed that the Voidnether Worm was recovering and realized he needed to subdue Feng Changtian quickly, even as his understanding of the Space Rule continued to grow.

Jiang Liu battled Feng Changtian with repeated essence-qi sword attacks while the Voidnether Worm stirred Soul-Devouring Insects in the cracks around them. Feng Changtian briefly regained his senses, warned Jiang Liu to flee, and died after striking at the beast, leaving Jiang Liu grief-stricken over his failed attempt to save him.

• Jiang Liu switched to God Fills the World and Phantom Stomp, repeatedly sending Divine Strike against Feng Changtian.

• Feng Changtian regained consciousness, ignored Jiang Liu's sword, and struck at the Soul-Devouring Insects and Voidnether Worm.
• Feng Changtian warned Jiang Liu to leave, then died as his aura vanished; Jiang Liu stopped attacking and mourned that he had failed to save him.

After Feng Changtian died, Long Wave Sword God mourned his longtime friend and recalled how they had built Eternal Joy City together. His grief triggered a breakthrough to the Third-Tier Divine Realm, and Jiang Liu turned his attention to a figure appearing by the boundary wall.

• Long Wave Sword God emerged from the shattered Phantom Sound Space and found Feng Changtian's corpse, while Jiang Liu suspected Feng Changtian had chosen to die to reveal the insect beast's weakness.
• Long Wave Sword God recalled meeting Feng Changtian and how they had become friends and partners in establishing Eternal Joy City's rule over the Neutral Continent.

• Jiang Liu looked toward a figure that appeared by the boundary wall.

Jiang Liu attacked the recovering Voidnether Worm while the Sky Devouring Cat devoured the Soul-Devouring Insects. The chapter ended with Long Wave Sword God completing his breakthrough as the Sky Devouring Cat began refining its meal.

• Jiang Liu struck the Voidnether Worm to stop it from recovering, and it sent the Soul-Devouring Insects to delay him.
• Jiang Liu summoned the Sky Devouring Cat, which frightened the Soul-Devouring Insects and chased them down to eat them.
• The Voidnether Worm created an illusion, but Jiang Liu broke through it and landed attacks that made the worm fight more cautiously.
• The Sky Devouring Cat ate every Soul-Devouring Insect, grew stronger, and curled up to refine them.
• Long Wave Sword God stabilized his aura and completed his breakthrough.

Jiang Liu realized the Voidnether Worm was using the fighters’ attacks to weaken the restriction sealing it, so he tried to escape with the Long Wave Sword God instead of fighting. At the spatial wall, Jiang Liu discovered that the Voidnether Worm controlled only part of the enormous web of cages.

• The Long Wave Sword God attacked the Voidnether Worm, but its spatial pressure forced him into a Void Rift’s force and badly wounded him.
• Jiang Liu concluded that the space and its hazards grew stronger as the Voidnether Worm recovered, and suspected it was using their power to break its restriction.
• Jiang Liu stored the Sky Devouring Cat, warned the Long Wave Sword God not to attack again, and headed for the spatial wall to find a way out.
• The Voidnether Worm tightened the space into a cage woven from threads, but Jiang Liu saw that many of the threads came from sources beyond the beast.
• Jiang Liu placed his hand on the threads, causing the Voidnether Worm to tremble.

Jiang Liu escaped the black hole with Long Wave Sword God and Feng Changtian’s corpse after discovering he could break through its spatial barrier. After explaining Feng Changtian’s sacrifice, Jiang Liu and Long Wave Sword God were confronted by a consciousness from above.

• Jiang Liu opened a breach in the black hole and hurled Long Wave Sword God through it, and Long Wave Sword God carried Feng Changtian’s corpse out with him.
• Jiang Liu sensed the Voidnether Worm’s fear, but the worm vanished and the black hole disappeared, leaving Jiang Liu beneath the sunlight over the seawater.
• Long Wave Sword God flew to Jiang Liu and waited for an explanation about what had happened.
• Jiang Liu recounted how the Voidnether Worm had controlled Long Wave Sword God and Feng Changtian, and Long Wave Sword God realized Feng Changtian had sacrificed himself to warn them.
• A consciousness from high in the sky locked onto Long Wave Sword God.

The Divine Realm Guardian, Tian Lan, used his consciousness to control Long Wave Sword God after he broke through to the Third-Tier Divine Realm, while Jiang Liu remained undetected. Jiang Liu returned to Xingyun Island to seek answers in the Celestial Evolution Record, and Tian Lan continued absorbing Soul Force from phantoms at the God Realm’s boundary wall.

• Tian Lan’s probing consciousness appeared, and Long Wave Sword God realized the Guardian was hostile toward Third-Tier Divine Realm experts and had likely controlled them.
• Jiang Liu concealed his aura and waited; when Tian Lan failed to detect him, Long Wave Sword God took Feng Changtian’s corpse and left without explanation.
• Jiang Liu considered how rules might relate to the Supreme God Realm, found the insect beast’s travel coordinates unavailable, and returned to Xingyun Island to study the Celestial Evolution Record.
• Feng Changsheng arrived at the site, sensed Long Wave Sword God’s aura and Tian Lan’s consciousness, and realized Feng Changtian had died.
• Tian Lan stood atop the God Realm’s boundary wall as phantoms appeared and vanished, allowing him to absorb their Soul Force.

Tian Lan worried that Bai Tong’s appearance could disrupt his plan to survive the Age Tide, while Jiang Liu returned to the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation and searched the Celestial Evolution Record for clues about the Supreme God Realm. Finding no answers, Jiang Liu concluded that he would need to visit the Nether Realm as the three domains continued drawing closer.

• Tian Lan reflected on his imprisoned Divine Realm third-tier phantoms, worried about Bai Tong, and anticipated an anomaly that could extend his life.
• Jiang Liu returned to the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation, where Gongsun Haoyue asked how things had gone and noticed that his aura had changed.
• Jiang Liu reassured Gongsun Haoyue, then entered the Ruyi Celestial Palace to read in the study.
• Jiang Liu read the Celestial Evolution Record but found no useful insight into the Supreme God Realm.
• Jiang Liu decided he would need to visit the Nether Realm, while the Human Realm, Nether Realm, and God Realm slowly moved closer together.
