Chapter Summaries

The Dragon-horned Youth fought the Forest Blood Silver-toothed Wolf and the Space-time Nightmare Beast, whose attacks revealed that his black armor greatly weakened their blows. As the immortals intensified their assault to seize the armor, a white-haired youth with six glowing limbs appeared and struck toward the Space-time Nightmare Beast.

• The Dragon-horned Youth used his spear against the two Monster Race immortals, injuring the Forest Blood Silver-toothed Wolf only slightly while struggling against their attacks.
• The Forest Blood Silver-toothed Wolf and the Space-time Nightmare Beast realized the Dragon-horned Youth's black armor weakened physical and Void God Power attacks.

• After the Dragon-horned Youth crashed into a boulder, the Space-time Nightmare Beast sensed a shadow approaching through the rubble.
• A white-haired youth with six glowing limbs appeared beside the immortals and advanced on the Space-time Nightmare Beast with a long staff.

Guen fought off the Space-time Nightmare Beast and the Forest Blood Silver-toothed Wolf, then claimed the Crimson Stele from the Dragon-horned Youth. He demanded to know how the youth had found him, and the youth explained that he had seen Guen pursuing Xutu Tu and land on the boulder.

• Guen pierced the Space-time Nightmare Beast with Boxi Lishi, then struck it with a soul attack that cost it 3.8% of its divine body.

• Guen demanded the Crimson Stele from the Dragon-horned Youth, who obediently handed it over.
• Guen questioned how the Dragon-horned Youth had located him, and the youth said he had seen Guen pursuing Xutu Tu and landing on the boulder.

Guen traveled with Aogu toward the location of more Crimson Steles, hoping to help the Flame Star Behemoth find a path to Immortality. After recognizing Aogu as someone from Shanhai World, Guen promised to let him go unharmed if he led them to the steles, though he remained wary of Aogu’s hidden strength.

• Aogu offered to lead Guen to more than one Crimson Stele in exchange for leaving unharmed, and Guen took him aboard Green Light.
• The Flame Star Behemoth studied a Crimson Stele in Guen’s Internal World and said that gathering several more could give it a strong chance of breaking through to Immortality.
• Guen introduced himself as Fanxing, learned that the Dragon-horned Youth was named Aogu, and asked about his black armor and possible human origins.
• Guen showed Aogu an image of World Master Red Dragon, prompting Aogu to call him Houdan and confirming Guen’s suspicion that Aogu came from Shanhai World.
• Guen promised to spare Aogu if he led them to the Crimson Steles, while telling Moto that he suspected Aogu would be harder to defeat than the Space-time Nightmare Beast.

Guen learned that Little Zhehuo Marsh produced Crimson Steles and began surveying its edge for openings and other immortals. Moto detected two Frozen Fire Rhino immortals nearby as their search continued.

• Aogu explained that Crimson Steles emerged from the Flame Tide and revealed coordinates to a hidden passage into Little Zhehuo Marsh.
• Moto confirmed the coordinates and detected seven shrinking gaps in Little Zhehuo Marsh, including three observable openings.
• Guen let Aogu leave after deciding to trust his instincts, then flew around Little Zhehuo Marsh while Moto gathered data.
• Moto found two Frozen Fire Rhino immortals, whom he identified as third-tier Immortal Military Lords.

Guen ambushed two Frozen Fire Rhinos in Little Zhehuo Marsh and pursued the surviving Ancestral Blood Frozen Fire Rhino after defeating its companion. As the Rhino fled into the Flame Tide, Blood Luo Power stirred in Guen, and an unfamiliar aura drew his attention.

• Guen and Moto watched two Frozen Fire Rhinos waiting for the ebb tide in Little Zhehuo Marsh.
• Guen ambushed one Rhino with his spear and released Leisi and the Flame Star Behemoth to attack the pair.
• Guen overwhelmed one Frozen Fire Rhino, stopping its self-destruction, while Leisi fought the other.
• The surviving Rhino revealed its Ancestral Blood ability and tried to escape, but Guen and the Flame Star Behemoth slowed it with their techniques.
• The Ancestral Blood Frozen Fire Rhino fled into the Flame Tide, where Blood Luo Power stirred in Guen and an unfamiliar aura caught his attention.

Guen pursued the Ancestral Blood Frozen Fire Rhino into Zhehuo Marsh, where the Flame Tide intensified his murderous urge and seemed to temper him for fusing with Xueluo Crystals. Testing the crystals on Leisi and the Flame Star Behemoth revealed that Leisi was a Rock Lifeform, while the Flame Star Behemoth absorbed a small amount of flame; Guen asked how it felt.

• The Ancestral Blood Frozen Fire Rhino fled into the Flame Tide, and Guen followed after the beast disappeared from sight.
• Guen entered the Flame Tide, where Orange-Red Flame penetrated his body and strengthened his murderous urge as it subtly transformed him.
• Guen summoned Leisi and the Flame Star Behemoth to test whether they could withstand the Flame Tide, then gave each a Xueluo Crystal.
• The Flame Star Behemoth absorbed a tiny amount of Orange-Red Flame through its hoof, but Leisi's crystal did not melt or react.
• Leisi explained that the Yushan Clan only appeared to be flesh-and-blood lifeforms and was actually a Rock Lifeform.
• Guen put Leisi's Xueluo Crystal away and asked the Flame Star Behemoth how it felt.

Guen and Leisi ventured deeper into the Flame Tide in Little Zhehuo Marsh, where Guen searched for the Crimson Stele and tested how long he could endure the flames. After reaching the limit of his body’s resistance, Guen decided to cultivate where the flames tempered him most, while Leisi stayed beside him.

• Guen gave Leisi and the Flame Star Behemoth Xueshi Dream Crystal Fruits for protection before leading them deeper into Little Zhehuo Marsh.
• The Orange-Red Flame became too intense for the Flame Star Behemoth, which retreated into its World Ring.
• Guen and Leisi found the remains of an Ancestral Blood Frozen Fire Rhino and collected the treasures scattered from its destroyed storage device.
• As the flames rapidly damaged Guen, the Seven-Star Insect Thread healed him, and he chose to retreat slightly from the depths.
• Guen decided to cultivate in the Flame Tide, and Leisi lay down beside him to stay.

Guen spent five thousand years cultivating in the Flame Tide, raising his Gene Multiplier to forty by fusing Xueluo Crystals. He and Leisi ventured toward the Flame Tide’s core, where they spotted a powerful Fire-Dazzle Horned Lizard guarding the energy belt and decided to observe it.

• Guen endured the fusion of his thirty-fifth Xueluo Crystal and learned he had sixty-four left to fuse.
• Guen’s Gene Multiplier reached forty, ten times its level five thousand years earlier, and he said the Flame Tide had reached its limit for his cultivation.
• Leisi returned with news that he had found a seventh Crimson Stele in the Flame Tide.
• Guen and Leisi flew toward the Flame Tide’s core, enduring its harsher flames and sensing its deadly baleful aura.
• Moto detected a Marquis Immortal from the Monster Race, which Guen identified as a Fire-Dazzle Horned Lizard waiting near the core energy belt.
• Guen and Leisi chose to watch the Fire-Dazzle Horned Lizard from a distance.

Guen approached the core energy belt to study its killing intent, but it drove Leisi into a frenzy and forced Guen to bind and carry him away. After Leisi recovered, a ghostly flame locked onto Guen, leaving him in danger.

• Guen observed the core energy belt from a distance and felt its powerful killing intent overwhelm his mind at the edge.
• The killing intent affected Leisi, who attacked Guen while struggling to resist it.
• Guen used Dark Tendrils and its Time Turbulence to bind and seal Leisi, then carried him away from the belt.
• Leisi regained his senses, thanked Guen, and was released from the tendrils.
• A ghostly streak of flame emerged from the Orange-Red Flame and fixed its killing intent on Guen.

Guen fought the Fire-Dazzle Horned Lizard to protect Leisi, enduring its attacks with layered defenses before revealing a torch that could burn an Immortal’s divine body. The Fire-Dazzle Horned Lizard broke free of Guen’s illusion but was left horrified after the torch consumed 15.3 percent of its divine body.

• The Fire-Dazzle Horned Lizard emerged from the Flame Tide and demanded that Leisi submit, while Guen prepared to defend him.
• Guen and the Fire-Dazzle Horned Lizard traded attacks, but its Marquis-level strength and Horn Fighting Technique drove Guen onto the defensive.
• The Fire-Dazzle Horned Lizard tried a soul attack, but Guen remained unaffected and opened the Cross-Engraved Silver box to reveal a torch.
• Guen joined forces with the Star-Studded Sunflower to create an Illusion Domain, then stabbed the Fire-Dazzle Horned Lizard with the torch.
• The Fire-Dazzle Horned Lizard dispelled the illusion but discovered that the torch’s flames had consumed 15.3 percent of its divine body.

Guen killed the Fire-Dazzle Horned Lizard, an undying Marquis of the Monster Race, using illusions, Soul Marrow, and the Torch of Burning Ashes. After securing the burning corpse and retrieving his clone, Guen left the Flame Tide with Leisi.

• The Fire-Dazzle Horned Lizard tried to flee, but Guen trapped him with Space Lockdown and used Soul Marrow to strengthen his soul attack.
• Guen’s Falling Dream Soul Hand illusion weakened the Fire-Dazzle Horned Lizard and destroyed part of his divine body while he struggled to break free.
• Guen emerged from concealment and struck the Fire-Dazzle Horned Lizard with the Torch of Burning Ashes, killing him as the torch’s flames consumed his body.
• Guen confirmed the Marquis was dead, put away the torch, and packed the corpse into nested World Rings despite the cost of his consumable items.
• Leisi urged Guen to leave before the Monster Race learned of the death, so Guen retrieved his clone and flew out of the Flame Tide.

Guen stayed in Zhehuo Marsh to temper his will and improve his combat abilities, while Leisi and the others trained inside the Time Hall. After entering the marsh’s core, Guen discovered that Zhehuo Marsh came from an ancient Natural Beast God’s blood and received a cosmic coordinate that seemed to call him toward a distant place.

• Guen purged the Soul Marrow’s contaminating energy and explained that he wanted to cultivate in Zhehuo Marsh rather than rely on costly treasures and techniques created by others.
• Guen persuaded Leisi to temper his will using the Time Hall, and told Yanxing and Niehuo to prepare for the same training.
• After waiting a hundred years without attracting attention, Guen returned to Zhehuo Marsh, where he gained recognition from the Origin Law of Light.
• Guen sent a clone into the core region and endured its Killing Intent, which had weakened and seemed to protect him while revealing fragments of memories.
• Guen concluded that Zhehuo Marsh was formed from a Natural Beast God’s blood and that the Crimson Steles were remnants of its essence.
• Guen received a mysterious cosmic coordinate pointing to a distant territory, apparently connected to the Natural Beast God’s desire for revenge against the Monster Race.

Guen cultivated for more than an era under the Time Hall’s acceleration, using the Killing Field and a wide range of simulated opponents to refine his combat methods. He created Instant of the Era and Double Soul Roar, then concluded that improving his Law Comprehension was now more important than creating further techniques.

• Guen activated the Time Hall at twelvefold acceleration and cultivated under the weakened Will Impact while Leisi and the Flame Star Behemoth endured it.
• Guen bought Secret Method texts and used the Killing Field to fight simulated Monster Race opponents, then ordered Moto to add unusual and powerful races from across the universe.
• After more than an era of accelerated cultivation and countless battles, Guen developed a powerful claw technique and defeated the Space-time Nightmare Beast with it.
• Guen named his new technique Instant of the Era and noted that it, along with Double Soul Roar, had reached the peak of ordinary ultimate techniques.
• Guen decided to focus on Law Comprehension instead of creating an illusion technique, then returned his consciousness to the Primordial Universe.

After leaving the Bigu Secret Realm, Guen and his companions traveled toward the Star Tower, crossing into Monster Race Territory. Guen received a Virtual Universe Company mission to investigate a suspected location nearby and decided to explore it.

• Leisi and the Flame Star Behemoth finished training in the Flame Tide, and Guen left a Demon Envoy clone behind to continue tempering his will.
• Two hundred and seventy years later, Guen's spaceship departed the Bigu Secret Realm and began its long journey toward the Star Tower.
• After passing the Quma Secret Realm, Guen ordered the Monster Race World Lords Esi and Ewu into the World Ring to conceal them in Monster Race Territory.
• Leisi outlined three possible routes through or around Monster Race Territory, and Guen considered their risks.
• Moto informed Guen that the Virtual Universe Company had assigned him a yellow suspected location within one light-year, offering up to one million points for a thorough investigation.
• Guen chose to explore the nearby area before deciding on a route.

Guen investigated a suspicious area in the Buqi Shijing Star Nation while disguised as a Light Ape, learning about the Demon Race's culture and the Buqi Shijing flying contest. He learned that the Tianqu Imperial Guard represented the star nation's ruler and consisted almost entirely of Undying beings.

• Guen entered the Buqi Shijing Star Nation alone in disguise because powerful Demon Race Undying beings guarded the suspicious area.
• Guen wandered through a green planet's wine mountains and seas of books while learning about Demon Race customs and its shared public knowledge.
• Tong told Guen, who was posing as Zijun, that the Buqi Wing Crown Gladiator Tournament selected the best flyer on each planet and that the winners were taken by the Tianqu Imperial Guard.
• Tong explained that the Tianqu Imperial Guard represented the star nation's ruler and that its members were Undying beings, with only a few exceptionally powerful Domain Lords admitted.

Guen gathered intelligence about the Monster Race’s talent-selection system before investigating a colossal wooden nest filled with powerful auras. Elsewhere, Feng Lin and Aogu remained trapped in green mist, and Guen entered the nest after three years of surveillance.

• Tong explained to Guen how Monster Race members could advance from the Star Nation Secret Realm to Moon-Swallowing Peak and the Heavenly Monster Palace, while Guen compared their selection system with humanity’s.
• Aogu confronted Feng Lin about the Bing Armor, and Feng Lin revealed he had never received one and was showing signs of succumbing to the green mist.
• Guen ordered Moto to scan the wooden nest again and learned the scan found 1,036 life auras, including 34 undying-level auras and five Marquis-level Immortals, but no King Level Monster Race immortals.
• After observing the nest and its surroundings for three years, Guen decided to investigate and silently appeared beside it.

Guen explored the dangerous Wooden Nest while Moto mapped its passages and traps, and the discovery of lethal defenses suggested the nest might have been made by a King-Level Immortal. Meanwhile, Lixing Hou learned that an Alien Race intruder had entered the nest and believed he had found Guen.

• The four Monster Race immortals guarding the Wooden Nest sensed an intruder and warned Lixing Hou that it might be an Alien Race member.
• Guen and Moto examined the nest’s energy-blocking walls and navigated its poison, puppets, and lethal traps as Moto’s map increased Guen’s mission progress.
• A multicolored lightning trap killed six injured Monster Race World Lords, and Guen decided to explore quickly without hunting before leaving.
• An icy trap enveloped Guen, but the Soul Palace and the Star-Studded Sunflower dispelled the attack.
• Lixing Hou’s Buqi Shijing squad hurried through the passages, and Lixing Hou said Kakesha had found the intruder and that he believed he had found him too.

Guen fought two Tianqu Imperial Guards in the Wooden Nest, using his new ultimate technique to badly injure one and wound the other. As he battled the less-injured guard at close range, an identical Guen emerged from the fight and flew toward the gravely wounded guard.

• Guen sensed two Tianqu Imperial Guards approaching and raised his power with the Leisha Core and Star-Studded Sunflower.
• The guards attacked Guen, but he unleashed Instant of an Era, combining Time Turbulence, Space Strangulation, and Space Lockdown.
• Guen's attack cost one guard 11.7% of his divine body and the other 3%.
• The less-injured guard shielded his companion and attacked Guen with his paired hammers.
• Guen fought the hammer-wielding guard at close range, exchanging more than a thousand blows in a second and demolishing the passage walls.
• An identical Guen flew out of the battle toward the gravely wounded Tianqu Imperial Guard.

Guen killed one Tianqu Imperial Guard with his Double Soul Roar and forced the other to self-destruct, then collected the intact corpse. Lixing Hou learned that two guards had died and charged toward the Alien intruder, while Guen’s companions watched a recording of the battle in astonishment.

• Guen struck the hammer-wielding Tianqu Imperial Guard with Falling Sun, then destroyed his soul with Double Soul Roar and stored his body.
• Guen’s clone trapped the surviving guard in an illusion domain, and the guard self-destructed after sending a final message.
• Lixing Hou learned that Second Brother and Fourth Brother had died and began smashing through the Wooden Nest toward the intruder.
• Moto praised Guen for killing two High-level Immortal Military Lords without using the Soul Marrow or Torch of Burning Ashes, and revealed a recording of the fight.
• Leisi watched the recording in disbelief and begged Guen to teach him, while the Flame Star Behemoth recognized something ominous about the wooden nest and its hidden mechanisms.

Guen learned from Yanxing that the lair was a Qingluo Nest built by the extinct Qiongling, and decided to press on toward its central treasure. He encountered the injured Feng Lin and Aogu, gave Feng Lin a fruit that could suppress his time-law injury, and continued deeper into the nest.

• Guen looted the two Tianqu Imperial Guards and found their combined wealth exceeded the Fire-Dazzle Horned Lizard's hoard.
• Yanxing identified the lair as a Qingluo Nest and explained that its center held a treasure tied to the Qiongling's Progenitor worship.
• Guen decided to explore farther into the nest in search of its central treasure.
• Guen broke into Feng Lin and Aogu's passage, diagnosed Feng Lin's poison and time-law injury, and gave him a fruit to suppress the injury.
• Aogu and Feng Lin followed the path Guen had opened as Guen continued toward the heart of the nest.
