Chapter Summaries

Qin Shaofeng led thirty people away from the third stronghold and hid in a safe area, intending to strengthen their group before the Devil Race's true army arrived. He then used his accumulated rewards, experience, and pills to rise to Saint Monarch Tenth Level.

• Qin Shaofeng learned that the Devil Race was reinforcing the Space Tunnel and that its true army could enter the Source Crystal Space within ten days.
• Qin Shaofeng hid with thirty team members in a rubble-covered area instead of heading to the third stronghold to meet Hou Yanqing.

• Qin Shaofeng used his accumulated rewards, experience, and pills to advance from Heavenly Saint Tenth Level to Saint Monarch Tenth Level.

After reaching the Saint Monarch realm, Qin Shaofeng unlocked the sixth Lord of Nine Clouds quest and examined its requirements to advance the Pill Scripture and Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill. Unsure how to cultivate the latter and focused on surviving the Devil Race threat, he decided to spend five Skill Points raising Dance of the Sky Technique to level seven.

• Qin Shaofeng broke through to Saint Monarch and unlocked the sixth Lord of Nine Clouds quest, which required six-star Pill Scripture and the first five layers of Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill.
• Qin Shaofeng judged that advancing the Pill Scripture should be manageable with his Pill Realm, pill flame, and collected Source Cores.
• Qin Shaofeng learned Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, and Qiuqiu explained its connection to the legendary Saint Elephants, Saint Dragons, and Saint Dragon Elephants.
• Qin Shaofeng remained uncertain how to cultivate Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill because its description showed neither a method nor cultivation progress.
• Qin Shaofeng set aside the skill and chose to spend five of his remaining Skill Points raising Dance of the Sky Technique from level six to level seven.

Qin Shaofeng upgraded the Dance of the Sky Technique and led his strengthened group out, only to face repeated attacks from human teams in the Source Crystal Space. After realizing the attackers were desperate to gather resources and survive the coming Devil Race invasion, he decided he could not safely return to Hou Yanqing.

• Qin Shaofeng spent five Skill Points to raise the Dance of the Sky Technique to Level 7, gaining faster flight, Speed Surge, and Flash Shift.
• Qi Dongming and the others advanced to the Saint Monarch realm and strengthened their domains with Qin Shaofeng's spirit beads before the group left their hiding place.
• A Heavenly Mystery Pavilion team ambushed Qin Shaofeng's group, killed three Heavenly Battle Pavilion disciples, and was wiped out after Qin Shaofeng's Pill Realm neutralized its formations.
• Over the next three days, Qin Shaofeng's group survived more than ten ambushes by human teams across the Source Crystal Space.
• Qiuqiu explained that the attackers were driven to steal resources to strengthen themselves before the Devil Race opened a Space Tunnel, and Qin Shaofeng realized he could not return to Hou Yanqing because Hou Yanqing might turn against him.

Qin Shaofeng persuaded the surviving disciples to follow his leadership and continue deeper into the Source Crystal Space rather than rush to meet Hou Yanqing. The group set out for the fifth-grade region, hoping to reach the sixth if conditions allowed.

• Qin Shaofeng called the group together to discuss their next move, and most disciples urged him to take them to Hou Yanqing.
• Qi Dongming rebuked Zhang Xingjie for assuming Hou Yanqing was waiting at the third stronghold, pointing out that it could be full of enemy ambushes.
• Li Kai and Qi Dongming backed Qin Shaofeng as their leader, and the others agreed to follow his decisions.
• Qin Shaofeng argued that they should cautiously head deeper instead of seeking Hou Yanqing, explaining that his Second Heaven domain could withstand the gravity of deeper regions.
• Qin Shaofeng told the group to avoid unnecessary fights and head for the fifth-grade region, then set out with them after they agreed.

Qin Shaofeng led his group into the fifth-class region, where six ambush squads tried to surround them. They escaped the pursuit and stopped in a crystal forest, only for Qiuqiu to warn that many Source Crystal Beasts were nearby.

• Qin Shaofeng used his Pill Realm to shield his group from the fifth-class region's gravity and spotted three squads closing in on them.
• Qiuqiu discovered three more concealed squads, bringing their pursuers to more than two hundred people, and Qin Shaofeng prepared his team to flee.
• Qin Shaofeng led the group toward one squad, then activated Thunder Prison to boost their speed and break away from the encirclement.
• The six squads pursued Qin Shaofeng's group for about a minute before giving up, while a purple-robed young man regretted letting them escape.
• Qin Shaofeng led his exhausted companions farther away and stopped in a crystal forest, where Qiuqiu warned that many Source Crystal Beasts were nearby.

Qin Shaofeng fought a swarm of hidden crystal mantis Source Crystal Beasts and destroyed more than a hundred with Almighty Push, stunning Qi Dongming and the others. After earning the disciples’ admiration, he recognized the limits of his Fiery Golden Eyes and decided to upgrade them when he obtained another Skill Point.

• Qin Shaofeng warned Qi Dongming and the others when crystal trees transformed into a swarm of mantis-like Source Crystal Beasts.
• Qin Shaofeng charged into the swarm alone and used Lightning Release Kirin, Lightning Jade Spiral Multi-Pill, and Thousand Mountain Fist to destroy some of the beasts.
• When the remaining crystal mantises surrounded him, Qin Shaofeng unleashed Almighty Push and shattered every beast within a hundred-meter radius.
• Qi Dongming and the other Heavenly Battle Pavilion disciples were astonished by Qin Shaofeng’s strength and began to regard him as Hou Yanqing’s equal.
• Qin Shaofeng realized his Fiery Golden Eyes could miss concealed threats and decided to upgrade them once he obtained another Skill Point.

Qin Shaofeng’s group was ambushed by a squad that mistook them for easy prey, but Qin turned the attack around and wiped out the enemy. The nineteen allies survived and continued their journey through the fifth-grade region.

• A burly squad used sensing formations to detect Qin Shaofeng’s group and judged them to be weak prey.
• Qiuqiu detected the formations and approaching enemies, allowing Qin Shaofeng to prepare an ambush with Qi Dongming and the others.
• The burly man’s thirty-odd fighters attacked, but Qin’s domain strike and Lightning Prison destabilized their Combined Domain.
• Qin trapped most of the attackers with Tsukuyomi, then killed the remaining leaders with Lightning Release techniques.
• Qi Dongming and the others finished off the incapacitated enemies, and the entire burly squad was wiped out.

Qin Shaofeng and Qi Dongming’s group defeated a band of attackers, then encountered Zhou Yan and his Dark Moon Pavilion team. Zhou Yan, now a Saint King with a Fourth Heaven Domain, demanded their supplies and threatened to attack, leaving Qin Shaofeng’s group facing a powerful enemy.

• Qin Shaofeng helped Qi Dongming’s group swiftly defeat the big fellow and his men, then they divided the spoils.
• Qin Shaofeng spotted Zhou Yan approaching with twenty-seven Dark Moon Pavilion disciples, whose weakest members were at the fifth level of the Saint Monarch Realm.
• Zhou Yan revealed that he had reached the Saint King First Layer and his Domain had reached the Fourth Heaven, then demanded the group hand over their supplies.
• Qi Dongming and the others refused Zhou Yan’s demand, and Zhou Yan released his killing intent and threatened them.
• Zhou Yan explained that the Devil Race had occupied the exit and that he was gathering supplies to survive by entering regions with stronger gravity; he also intended to kill Qin Shaofeng, his old rival.

Qin Shaofeng avoided a fight with Zhou Yan after Qiuqiu sensed approaching Devil Race powerhouses, but Zhou Yan’s parting attack exposed their group to five pursuing Saint King Devils. As the Devils closed in, Qiuqiu urged Qin Shaofeng to abandon Qi Dongming and the others, but he refused.

• Qiuqiu warned Qin Shaofeng that Devil Race powerhouses were nearby, so he held back from fighting Zhou Yan despite their hostility.
• After a subordinate whispered to him, Zhou Yan fled with his people, then ordered a volley of attacks that Qin Shaofeng intercepted with Lightning Release techniques.
• Qin Shaofeng learned that Zhou Yan’s attack had drawn powerful Devils toward them and led Qi Dongming and the others in a desperate escape.
• Qiuqiu identified five pursuing Saint King Devils, including one at the eighth level, and urged Qin Shaofeng to leave his companions behind.
• Qin Shaofeng refused to abandon Qi Dongming and the others, despite knowing that staying together put them all in grave danger.

Qin Shaofeng split his Pill Realm to send Qi Dongming and the others away, then lured five powerful Devil Race after him. He led them toward Zhou Yan's group, leaving Zhou Yan to realize too late that Qin Shaofeng had redirected the danger toward him.

• Qin Shaofeng split his Pill Realm and sent Qi Dongming, Li Kai, and the others ahead while he stayed behind.
• Qin Shaofeng drew the five pursuing Saint King Devil Race toward himself and flew toward Zhou Yan's group.
• Qiuqiu sensed Zhou Yan's location, and Qin Shaofeng concealed his aura as he closed in on the group.
• Qin Shaofeng released his aura near Zhou Yan's group, alerting Zhou Yan and the blue-clad man to the approaching Devil Race.
• Zhou Yan recognized Qin Shaofeng and understood he had diverted the Devil Race toward them, but his warning came too late.

Qin Shaofeng ambushed Zhou Yan’s group, then secretly followed Zhou Yan after he abandoned his disciples to escape the Devil Race. Zhou Yan briefly lost his pursuers in a sixth-tier region, but Qin Shaofeng caught him alone and struck him down.

• Qin Shaofeng shattered Zhou Yan’s Black Domain Heavy Earth and killed seven or eight subordinates with his Rinnegan techniques before phasing out of sight.
• Qin Shaofeng concealed himself and followed Zhou Yan as the five Devil Race experts closed in.
• Zhou Yan abandoned the Dark Moon Pavilion disciples and fled alone, leaving the Devil Race experts to kill them.
• Qin Shaofeng secretly pursued Zhou Yan as he outran the Devil Race pursuers and entered a sixth-tier region.
• Zhou Yan stopped to recover after escaping, but Qin Shaofeng appeared, collapsed his domain, and attacked him with lightning; Zhou Yan recognized Qin Shaofeng before losing consciousness.

Qin Shaofeng killed Zhou Yan and found Source Crystals in his Storage Ring, which he used to advance his Pill Realm and Pill Scripture. After gaining experience and taking a Ninefold Saint Spirit Pill, he reached Saint King Fourth Layer and prepared to face the Devil Race with greatly increased strength.

• Qin Shaofeng ambushed Zhou Yan, shattered his Black Domain Heavy Earth, and killed him with Lightning Jade Spiral Pills.

• Qin Shaofeng filled his Experience Points and advanced to Saint King First Layer, then took a fifth-grade Ninefold Saint Spirit Pill to reach Saint King Fourth Layer.

As the Devil Race sent Saint Emperor experts into the Source Crystal Space, powerful forces across the Origin Continent rallied to attack them. Qin Shaofeng entered the thousand-gravity tenth-grade region to avoid the Devil Race and discovered a giant crystal containing an enormous Source Crystal.

• The Devil Race stabilized its passage into the Source Crystal Space and sent in three Saint Emperor Realm experts.
• The Emperor, a woman at a mysterious mountain, the Dragon Race, and other major forces responded to a sensed opportunity and gathered troops to reclaim the area around the Source Crystal Space entrance.
• Qin Shaofeng learned from Qiuqiu that a Devil Race Saint Emperor had entered, failed to find Qi Dongming and the others, and went alone into the tenth-grade region.
• Qiuqiu sensed traces of the Black Domain Heavy Earth Domain in the region, where Qin Shaofeng found a hundred-meter crystal boulder containing a thousand jin of Source Crystal.

Qin Shaofeng found a valley full of crystal boulders and tried to break open one containing an enormous Source Crystal. His costly killing-formation blast destroyed the surrounding boulders but left the target intact, so he struck it with his Hammer of Thor.

• Qin Shaofeng followed Qiuqiu's senses to a valley where Zhou Yan had previously found Source Crystals, and discovered a boulder containing a thousand-jin Source Crystal.
• Qin Shaofeng spent more than ten billion points and many Spirit Crystals and Spirit Pearls to assemble a killing formation designed to shatter the boulder.
• Qin Shaofeng detonated the formation, which blasted apart the other crystal boulders but left the enormous Source Crystal boulder untouched.
• Qiuqiu suggested that the blast might have weakened the boulder enough for another attack, and Qin Shaofeng activated the Demon Energy Divine Ring.
• Qin Shaofeng summoned the Hammer of Thor and brought it crashing down onto the crystal boulder.

Qin Shaofeng shattered the crystalline boulder and discovered that the enormous Source Crystal was the core of a vast formation. Activating it made the Source Crystal mountain and Qin Shaofeng disappear, transformed the Source Crystal Space, and opened a dangerous Spatial Rift Channel whose destination intrigued a red-clothed man.

• Qin Shaofeng broke the crystalline boulder with the Hammer of Thor, then failed to store the Source Crystal in either his Storage Ring or Origin World Space.
• Qiuqiu recognized the Source Crystal as the core of a great formation and warned Qin Shaofeng to escape as the formation activated.
• The formation revealed a Source Crystal mountain, then its light vanished along with the mountain and Qin Shaofeng, leaving a Spatial Rift Channel behind.
• The formation collapsed, crystallized terrain and creatures reverted or disintegrated, and the Source Crystal energy began to dissipate throughout the space.
• Three Devil Race Saint Emperors entered the Spatial Rift Channel, but only one returned, gravely wounded, and he left to report the danger.
• A red-clothed man on a distant island sensed the Spatial Rift's appearance and wondered which domain it would lead to as a Vermilion Bird flame rose behind him.

After surviving spatial turbulence, Qin Shaofeng awoke in a wooden house with severe internal injuries and his powers sealed. Unable to contact Qiuqiu or his Origin World Space, he tried system Recovery Pills without success and remembered a powerful pill in Qiuqiu’s treasury.

• Qin Shaofeng recalled being transported through spatial turbulence and losing consciousness after Susanoo and his Pill Realm failed to protect him.
• Qin Shaofeng discovered his dantian was empty, his meridians were destroyed and blocked by the Power of Space, and his connection to Qiuqiu and the Origin World Space was severed.
• A girl who had found Qin Shaofeng brought an old Medicine Master to see him, and the old man explained that he had treated Qin Shaofeng and promised to help him recover.
• After they left, Qin Shaofeng used the system shop to try increasingly expensive Recovery Pills, but they barely helped his injuries.
• Qin Shaofeng remembered that Qiuqiu had kept a powerful Recovery Pill in its little treasury.

Qin Shaofeng used his remaining source crystals to buy a Nine Dragon Origin Pill and began recovering from his severe injuries. He realized he had awakened in a place with crushing gravity and powerful suppression, and after half a month he could barely walk.

• Qin Shaofeng found the Nine Dragon Origin Pill in Qiuqiu's treasury but lacked the twenty billion points needed to buy it.
• Qin Shaofeng recycled source crystals worth fourteen billion points, bought the pill, and endured intense pain as it healed his injuries.
• Qin Shaofeng released his Pill Realm, which was crushed by the place's powerful gravity, and realized he had ended up somewhere unfamiliar.
• Qin Shaofeng spent half a month recovering near a mountain village and discovered that the area's gravity and suppression weakened his skills and attacks.

Qin Shaofeng struggled to maintain his Pill Realm under the crushing gravity of the strange world where Liu Xiaowan and her grandfather had rescued him. As he learned how the world's strength-based cultivation worked, he discovered Grandpa Liu was far more powerful than the villagers believed.

• Qin Shaofeng explained that his Pill Realm could barely protect him and drained Saint Origin Value faster than he could recover it, forcing him to rest often.
• Liu Xiaowan returned and scolded Qin Shaofeng for risking another collapse, while Grandpa Liu eased his embarrassment by speaking with him.
• Qin Shaofeng reflected on how the villagers' bodies had adapted to the world's gravity and how even Xiaowan possessed extraordinary physical strength.
• Qin Shaofeng learned that warriors in this world cultivated Elephant Power through the Four Symbols Realm rather than Saint Origin Power.
• Qin Shaofeng determined that Grandpa Liu had over ten thousand Elephant Power Value and was in the Spirit Elephant Realm, despite the village believing he was only a Medicine Master of the Strength Elephant Realm.

After Liu Xiaowan gave Qin Shaofeng a rare Vermillion Yan Fruit, he ate it and advanced to Saint King Fifth Layer, reducing the strange powers obstructing his body. The next day, a live savage beast arrived at Old Master Liu’s clinic, and Qin Shaofeng considered killing it to gain experience and learn more about the beasts.

• Old Master Liu examined Qin Shaofeng and praised how quickly he had recovered, while Xiaowan credited her grandfather’s medicine skills.
• Xiaowan gave Qin Shaofeng a rare Vermillion Yan Fruit, which he recognized and swallowed.
• Qin Shaofeng advanced to Saint King Fifth Layer, gained 40 billion Saint Origin Value, and found that the Power of Space and an unknown power in his body had weakened.
• Qin Shaofeng realized that further level-ups might help him recover and considered hunting savage beasts for experience.
• The next day, villagers brought a live, giant tiger-like savage beast to Old Master Liu’s clinic, and Qin Shaofeng thought about killing it.

Qin Shaofeng interrupted Old Master Liu as he prepared to process He Tie’s Crimson Fire Beast, then revealed his claimed Medicine Master skills by making a potion from the beast. Old Master Liu examined the potion and declared it purer than his own.

• As Old Master Liu prepared to draw blood from He Tie’s Crimson Fire Beast, Qin Shaofeng stopped him and said he would prove himself to Liu Xiaowan.
• Old Master Liu revealed that Qin Shaofeng was also a Medicine Master and let him handle the beast, surprising He Tie and the villagers.
• Qin Shaofeng used his Six Paths Weapon to kill the wounded Crimson Fire Beast and received a special kill reward of 0.9% Experience Points.
• Qin Shaofeng took the beast’s blood and bones into the clinic and concocted a potion while the villagers waited outside.
• Old Master Liu examined Qin Shaofeng’s potion and exclaimed that it was purer than the potions he made.
