Chapter Summaries

As Tian Yuan City fought the Great Snake Clan and Black Crow Clan, Mu Yuan ordered most mining districts to withdraw while keeping the Third Mine as a strategic outpost. Meanwhile, the Golden Duke finally found Tian Yuan City and encountered Sophia, whose appearance left him wondering what the city was hiding.

• Sario escorted Soul Sand Mine workers south and demonstrated his frost breath to the Deputy General, who mistakenly believed Sario was merely a powerful fourth-grade expert.
• Mu Yuan reviewed the fighting, noted that Tian Yuan City had killed seven monster Legendary experts, and ordered mining districts to retreat while retaining the Third Mine.
• The Great Serpent's High Priest claimed the clans had killed more than a dozen human experts with Legendary potential, but the attendant lord condemned him for failing to kill any human Legendary experts.
• The Golden Duke reached a mountain summit and spotted Tian Yuan City, which he considered surprisingly small compared with his expectations.
• The Guard Captain exposed a group of living black crows, and Sophia appeared with a hundred identical figures to question the Golden Duke and his companions.

The Golden Duke arrived at Tian Yuan City and offered mercenary help, but a mysterious voice dismissed the threat. The Blood Tree Great Forest began advancing on the city, where Treant Grandmother’s mobile Treant Forest turned the invasion into a sweeping territorial counterattack.

• The Golden Duke entered Tian Yuan City after deciding to investigate why Gun Master Roy favored its apprentices, and a mysterious voice assured him the city could handle the Monster Overlord.
• The Blood Tree Great Forest awakened, sending waves of newly grown blood trees toward Tian Yuan City and shaking the city with its advance.
• The Golden Duke and his Guard Captain watched the blood trees approach, while Tree Treant Lords raised a forested defensive line west of the city under an ancient central tree.
• The Blood Tree King sent its forest to confront Treant Forest, but Treant Forest’s I Am The Forest skill turned invading blood trees green and absorbed them into its territory.
• Treant Grandmother’s Legendary power assimilated a distant blood tree into her form, accelerating Treant Forest’s spread and draining the Blood Tree King’s territory.

Treant Grandmother and Tian Yuan City's forces broke through the Blood Tree Great Forest and defeated the Blood Tree King. After devouring its core, Treant Grandmother gained new abilities and her domain surged to 4,444 meters.

• Treant Grandmother used Cao Zhi to locate a network node, then sent a Tree Life Seed deep into the Blood Tree Great Forest and severed the Blood Tree King's control over its eastern region.
• Treant Grandmother spread the Treant Forest through the weakened blood trees and awakened hundreds of Scarlet Guardians to overwhelm the Blood Tree King's Tree Puppets and treants.
• The Treant Lords advanced to the forest's core, where the Army Soul helped them withstand the Blood Tree King's domain and push the Treant Forest into its territory.
• Treant Grandmother pierced the Blood Tree King's trunk and devoured its core, killing the Blood Tree King as Mu Yuan watched.
• Treant Grandmother awakened new skills and a Quasi-Epic talent, while her domain expanded to 4,444 meters.

After the Blood Tree Great Forest’s spread was stopped, Isroya detected a hidden threat approaching Tian Yuan City from underground. The Great Snake Clan sent a colossal Calamity Beast toward the city, and it emerged near Wolf Head Mountain Fortress.

• Mu Yuan surveyed the Blood Tree Great Forest after the battle and judged that the cleared land could eventually become a valuable planting zone.
• The Golden Duke left Tian Yuan City, while Mu Yuan assigned Sophia’s Black Crows to monitor the city and Third Mine for infiltrators.
• Treant Grandmother absorbed the Blood Tree King’s essence and began producing Blood-colored Treants as monster attacks intensified against Tian Yuan City’s remaining strongholds.
• Isroya followed a thread of destiny to detect an underground threat a few hundred kilometers away, prompting Mu Yuan and his forces to search the area.
• The Great Snake High Priest ordered his weapon to travel aboveground, and a mountain-sized Calamity Beast burst from a peak near Wolf Head Mountain Fortress.

The Great Snake Clan sent the Calamity Beast Giant Serpent toward Tian Yuan City, but Mu Yuan’s forces stopped it with coordinated tactics and Duo Lai’s conceptual spatial attack. As the Great Snake Clan struggled to understand the defeat, Deathbone led an undead army through its gates.

• The Great Snake Clan’s elder directed the Giant Serpent toward Tian Yuan City, while War Armor General, Golden Duke, and Black Crow High Priest feared the city might fall.
• Mu Yuan ordered Tactic 13-B, and Azure Frost, Cold Frost, Winter Daughter, and the Frost Cold Lords froze the Giant Serpent briefly with Cold Tide Funeral.
• The Heavenly Fire Thunder Dragon struck the Giant Serpent, damaging it before its Calamity Beast body regenerated.
• Duo Lai attacked the Giant Serpent’s vital point with conceptual Space Rending Great Seals, splitting it apart and leaving it unable to recover.
• After the Giant Serpent remained motionless, the Great Snake Clan High Priest realized it had been stopped and prayed to the Great Serpent.
• Deathbone opened the Great Snake Clan’s gate with Death Lament and led his undead army into the headquarters.

Deathbone led an Undead Tides through the Great Snake Clan's shattered Gate, overwhelming its defenses and raising more undead from the fallen. When the Great Snake Servant descended, Deathbone used the Great Emperor's Sword to sever the connection between the incarnation and its true body, then destroyed the stranded fragment of divine soul; the undead continued swallowing the clan's core territory.

• Deathbone forced open the Great Snake Clan's Gate, and the Undead Tides poured into the stronghold as the clan's War Machines and monsters fought back.

• Deathbone summoned the Skeleton Legion's military soul and used the Great Emperor's Sword to kill the connection between the Great Snake Servant's incarnation and its true body.
• The Great Snake Servant's incarnation scattered, and Deathbone obliterated its stranded divine-soul fragment with Nine-Sequence Slash as the undead advanced into the clan's core territory.

After Tian Yuan City defeated the Monster Overlords, Mu Yuan oversaw the looting of their strongholds, rallied the allied peoples, and expanded across the Ten Directions Island Domain.

• After Tian Yuan City secured the Ten Directions Island Domain, Mu Yuan began preparing to travel to the major war zone.

Mu Yuan bought the materials and secret arts needed to relocate resource veins, then led Tian Yuan City’s Legendary Realm powerhouses in moving a Small Soul Sand Mine back toward the city. The relocation succeeded, but the exhausting journey revealed how difficult long-distance moves were, while visitors witnessed Tian Yuan City’s strength.

• Moli told Mu Yuan that Isroya had chosen a Small Soul Sand Mine, a grove of Six-Colored Elemental Fruit trees, and a Primary Breakthrough Material Mine as relocation targets.

• Mu Yuan received news that Tian Yuan City’s ninth Legendary Realm was about to be born outside the city.

Red Shadow’s illusion-based public classes drew growing crowds of students, instructors, and deans, even as many struggled to understand her lessons. She took leave to advance to the Legendary Realm, and two days later emerged successful, leaving the academy’s deans wondering whether she would continue teaching there.

• Red Shadow emerged from the Breakthrough Building two days later as a Legendary Realm expert.

After Red Robe entered the Legendary Realm, Mu Yuan helped Uta pursue a breakthrough through relentless battles instead of developing a domain. Uta’s willpower condensed his scattered sublimation radiance into a pillar that shattered the heavenly barrier, and he began his Legendary Realm breakthrough.

• Mu Yuan left Red Robe at Tianze Academy to finish her work and train, while Uta pushed himself harder after learning she had reached the Legendary Realm.
• Mu Yuan demonstrated how to form a domain, but Uta decided he would attempt a Legendary Realm breakthrough without one, and Mu Yuan agreed to support him.
• Uta fought a series of increasingly powerful opponents, including Sario, Bone Two, Bone Three, twenty Undead Bone Lords, Lian Yue, Sophia, Rakshasa, Lu Liu, and Duo Lai, repeatedly rising despite severe injuries.
• As Uta entered the Sublimation State, his radiance remained too scattered to break through the heavenly barrier until he trusted in his hard work and released his Willpower Light.
• Uta’s Willpower Light condensed his sublimation radiance into a pillar that shattered the heavenly barrier, and the baptism of heaven and earth descended as he rose into the air.

Dole subdued the Yellow Sand Lord’s forces, and Xie Yi joined Tian Yuan City, asking Mu Yuan to take in the other people on the mountain as well.

• Dole used Devouring Heaven and Earth on the opposite side of the Realm Passage, clearing the energy tides and gaining control of the Concept Power of violence.

When Red Garment demonstrated that she could create real food through illusion, Jade Arrow’s team gained a way to take the shortest route through the Famine Desert Area.

• Jade Arrow received an urgent order to deliver supplies to the Snowpeak War Zone within half a month and gathered elite personnel and recruits for the mission.
• Broken Blade, North Wind, Light Green, and the other selected powerhouses attended Jade Arrow’s briefing, where she explained that the shortest route crossed a dangerous region that multiplied food consumption.
• Light Green introduced Nature Elf Priest Bamboo, and North Wind offered to search the Famine Desert Area for edible plants, but Jade Arrow still found their food supply insufficient.
• Cao Zhi grew large Gourd Fruits with her skills, then Red Garment created even more vines and fruit, which Jade Arrow and the others confirmed were real by eating them.

Mu Yuan studied the Cold Valley Mountain Great War Zone’s ranks, history, and assessment requirements while Luosha and Uta began training and lessons. The chapter ended with Mu Yuan reflecting on the war zone’s past disasters and the need to grow stronger before the next Calamity Moon.

• Experts in the training camp debated the benefits of training and their chances of becoming commanders, while Zhuo Yan warned a girl that powerful Legendary Realm recruits had yet to arrive.
• Mu Yuan studied the war zone’s ranks and special troop buildings, and decided Luosha and Uta would take the assessment while his elite troops remained their subordinates.

Mu Yuan watched the Great War Zone’s New Recruit Assessment, where numerous Legendary Realm and Epic powerhouses gathered. The first training stage tested recruits’ ability to endure a powerful domain, and after three hours of rest, the second stage was set to begin.

• Mu Yuan and Duo Lai watched as prominent recruits, including Giant Elephant Lord, Red Hair Chai Shi Zheng, Crescent Moon An Qian Qian, Zhuo Yan, and commanders from Tian Yuan Territory arrived at the assessment.

The recruits completed a high-stakes simulated camp-defense drill, where commanders struggled against overwhelming monster attacks and Legendary Realm trainees repeatedly failed to hold the line. Uta unleashed his full power and annihilated the monsters after the camp fell, leaving everyone stunned and Zhuo Yan Lord wondering whose subordinate he was.

• The recruits completed three days of intensive training, and Uta performed poorly in most programs while Luocha excelled.
