Chapter Summaries

Yi Chen faced a rare Heavenly Tribulation as dark clouds and terrifying pressure spread across Exile Planet and the surrounding region. When a massive bolt of Heavenly Thunder struck, he tried to evade it and then swung his sword, leaving the outcome unresolved.

• Dark clouds, towering waves, and a terrifying aura drove creatures to flee across the sea and Sea Island as Yi Chen’s breakthrough-like phenomenon spread.
• Viewers in the Live Stream Room debated the cause, while Human Federation leaders and the Various Races’ powerhouses recognized that Yi Chen was facing a Heavenly Tribulation and hoped he would fail.
• Yi Chen calmly ended his cultivation, summoned his Spirit Sword, and stood beneath the gathering clouds as the Heavenly Dao’s pressure intensified.
• After the Heavenly Tribulation brewed for half an hour, a massive bolt of Heavenly Thunder descended toward Yi Chen.
• Yi Chen used the Cloud Stepping Art to flee dozens of kilometers, but the thunder followed him; he then swung his sword at it with the Heaven Severing Art.

Yi Chen discovered that the energy following each Heavenly Thunder strengthened his body and deepened his understanding of the Great Dao. After cutting apart a second, stronger bolt, he let the next wave of energy transform him as a third thunderbolt began to form.

• Yi Chen cleaved the first Heavenly Thunder apart with a single slash, while the Live Stream viewers watched a second bolt begin to brew.
• Yi Chen lowered his Bodyguard Shield and absorbed the special energy, which doubled his Qi Sea and meridian strength, increased his physical strength more than tenfold, and deepened his comprehension of the Great Dao.
• Federation citizens marveled at Yi Chen's gains, while the powerhouses of the Various Races recognized the transformation as the benefit of surviving Heavenly Tribulation.
• After half an hour, Yi Chen cut apart a second Heavenly Thunder at least twice as strong as the first, and their attacks exploded against each other.
• As a third Heavenly Thunder began brewing, Yi Chen dropped his Bodyguard Shield again and absorbed the next, larger stream of special energy.

Yi Chen endured nine increasingly powerful Heavenly Thunders during his breakthrough, using Sword Qi and his Energy Shield to survive the final strikes. The tribulation ended without a tenth thunder, and the remaining special energy continued strengthening his body, meridians, and Qi Sea.

• Yi Chen destroyed the third Heavenly Thunder with repeated Sword Qi strikes and prepared for the stronger fourth by restoring his Spiritual Power.
• Federation citizens in the Live Stream Room recognized the dark clouds as a breakthrough tribulation and debated whether others would face the same difficulty as Yi Chen.
• Yi Chen cut apart the fourth, fifth, and sixth Heavenly Thunders, though each successive strike reached closer before he could destroy it.
• Yi Chen weakened the seventh and eighth Heavenly Thunders with Sword Qi, then relied on his Energy Shield and Spiritual Power to absorb their remaining force.
• Yi Chen replenished his Spiritual Power with spirit pills as the ninth Heavenly Thunder formed, and his Energy Shield survived its attack without breaking.
• The dark clouds dispersed after the ninth thunder, and the remaining special energy continued to strengthen Yi Chen's body, meridians, and Qi Sea.

Yi Chen’s breakthrough beyond the Full Level Threshold gave him a lifespan limit of ten million years and extraordinary physical strength, changing Federation citizens’ views on his refusal to reconcile.

• Major media outlets changed their stance and promoted the possibility that Yi Chen could lead the Human Federation toward greater power.

After Yi Chen passed the Heavenly Tribulation, the Various Races feared his growing strength and the Human Federation’s potential, while the Shadow Emperor watched to see how he would handle the crisis.

Lin Yuehai delivered the custom top-tier Mini Spaceship to Yi Chen after exhausting his wealth and borrowing heavily to buy Spirit Stones and arrange the order. While Lin Yuehai inspected the ship, Yi Chen overheard two Three-Eyed Race powerhouses plotting to seize it, leaving him aware of a threat to the vessel.

• Lin Yuehai reported that Doctor Qi Li had finished modifying the Mini Spaceship, and Yi Chen traveled with him to inspect it.

After learning that the Soul Race had taken control of Life Planet A12516, Yi Chen questioned the official account because two powerful Three-Eyed Race elders had disappeared there.

He discovered their Eleventh Elder had lost contact after infiltrating Life Planet A12516, while Yi Chen remained puzzled by how the Soul Race could have killed an Earth Tree Race Expert.

• Yi Chen led the Three-Eyed Race powerhouse to believe that he had secretly escaped the Exile Planet without reaching a settlement with the Human Federation, persuading him that sharing information could benefit the Three-Eyed Race.
• The Three-Eyed Race powerhouse explained that the Ninth Elder had gone to Life Planet A12516 to meet rebel leader Horton and then vanished along with most of the Three-Eyed Race's Milky Way intelligence network.

• Yi Chen tried drawing the captive's Black Luck into his Qi Sea, became alarmed, and quickly returned it.

Yi Chen sent Lin Yuehai back to Tailin City and bestowed enough luck to help protect him as he rebuilt his wealth.

• Yi Chen searched two Three-Eyed Race experts’ Space Stones, found large stores of Immortal Stones and other resources, and reorganized them in his Storage Ring.

• Over two days, Yi Chen completed the diagram, cultivated with Immortal Stones, and extracted luck from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
• Yi Chen hid inside the flagship’s Meeting Room as Liang Mo Kun convened a virtual conference with twenty-five senior generals.

Liang Mo Kun and the generals discussed why rumors about the Parliament and military were spreading, while Yi Chen realized the Soul Race crisis was tied to Calamity Qi and a Calamity Fruit created for the Earth Tree Race Special Envoy. He concluded that the Human Federation’s growing strength would keep feeding Calamity Qi, and he resolved to find a way to escape its control and the Earth Tree Race.

• Liang Mo Kun and the generals explained that secretive orders, unexplained threats, and the military’s refusal to attack Exile Planet had fueled soldiers’ suspicions.

• The Shadow Emperor restrained his urge to ally with Yi Chen immediately and decided to first understand Yi Chen’s attitude toward the Earth Tree Race, allies, and subordinates.
