Chapter Summaries

Ming Feng and dozens of Origin Realm Half-Saints advanced on Dragon City, greatly outnumbering its defenders. As the enemy arrived, Lu Ye brought the Tower of Time to the River of Time and Sequence to accelerate the Dragon Race’s breakthroughs, while Xing Zhou recognized the river.

• Ming Feng’s group found Chiluan City abandoned, and Ni Chiluan was relieved that Lu Ye had moved her Uniting Dao Pearl to the Phoenix Nest.
• Dragon City gathered its Saints as the Dragon Race gained more Half-Saints and Supreme Treasures, while Lu Ye continued sustaining the Tower of Time.
• Fu Wei warned Lu Ye that several dozen enemies were attacking Dragon City, and the Dragon Sovereign urged Lu Ye to speed up the Dragon Race’s progress.
• The Tower Spirit told Lu Ye to take the Tower of Time to the River of Time and Sequence, where its power could help the Dragon Race cultivate and break through faster.
• Lu Ye released the Tower of Time, causing the River of Time and Sequence to appear in Dragon City as the enemy drew near.
• Xue Wei, Fei, and Xing Zhou approached with Ming Feng’s force, and Xing Zhou suspected the river was the River of Time and Sequence.

Xue Wei’s forces besieged Dragon City, while the Dragon Sovereign and his allies prepared to defend it. After the Protective Grand Array fell, the Dragon Sovereign revealed a Jade Token and raised a second defense.

• Xing Zhou recognized the River of Time and Sequence and recalled his friendship with Si Shengya.
• The Dragon Sovereign deployed his Half-Saint allies through Dragon City’s Protective Grand Array as Xue Wei’s army approached.
• Xue Wei demanded that the Dragon Sovereign surrender the culprit who had killed Blood Race Half-Saints and submit, but he used her twenty-breath delay before refusing.
• Dozens of Puppet Half-Saints attacked Dragon City, and the Protective Grand Array collapsed after holding for less than half a day.
• Xue Wei lunged at the Dragon Sovereign, who raised a second defensive screen with a Jade Token.

Xue Wei’s assault on Dragon City was repeatedly stopped by its layered Protective Grand Array, while Lu Ye used the River of Time and Sequence to send newly advanced Dragon Race Half-Saints to reinforce the defense. With the third and final layer holding, the Dragon Sovereign and Lu Ye prepared to find a way to confront the attackers before the barrier fell.

• Xue Wei attacked the Dragon Sovereign, but the second layer of Dragon City's Protective Grand Array blocked her spear, so she withdrew and waited with Xing Zhou for the barrier to fail.
• Lu Ye sent a newly advanced Dragon Race Half-Saint out of the River of Time and Sequence, then dispatched more than a dozen over the next three days to strengthen the defense.
• The second-layer barrier held for three and a half days before Xue Wei attacked again, only to be stopped by Dragon City's third layer of protection.
• Xue Wei's Puppet Half-Saints destroyed the remaining outer districts, leaving only the city core, where more than thirty Dragon Race Half-Saints reinforced the final barrier.
• The Dragon Sovereign told Lu Ye the third layer could hold for six or seven more days, and Lu Ye said that should be enough.
• Lu Ye and the Dragon Sovereign considered the need to launch a counterattack, but they still lacked a plan for dealing with Xue Wei, Fei, Ming Feng, and the other enemy Half-Saints.

Lu Ye accelerated the Dragon Race experts’ cultivation in his Inner Realm until nearly a hundred became Half-Saints, giving Dragon City enough strength to confront the invading forces. As the city’s defenses neared collapse, the Dragon Sovereign ordered the battle to begin, and the Dragon Race Half-Saints rushed out to fight the Puppet Half-Saints.

• The Dragon Sovereign warned Lu Ye that Dragon City’s third Protective Grand Array could hold for only about another day, so Lu Ye prepared to begin the battle.
• Lu Ye gave up trying to perfect the Shared Breath, Connected Branches Dao Pattern, which could not support a fight between Half-Saints.
• Xue Wei and the other Origin Realm Half-Saints saw the River of Time and Sequence vanish and realized Dragon City was about to act.
• Lu Ye opened a portal and brought nearly a hundred newly advanced Dragon Race Half-Saints out of his Inner Realm.
• The Dragon Sovereign ordered the Dragon Race Half-Saints to fight, and they charged out to match the Puppet Half-Saints in number.
• More than a hundred Half-Saints paired off and began fighting, sending powerful aftershocks across the battlefield.

The battle between the Origin Realm forces and the Dragon Race began, with Xue Wei and Xing Zhou engaging their chosen opponents while the other Half-Saints clashed across the battlefield. Fei pursued Blood Calamity, and Lu Ye targeted Ming Feng, leaving the fight poised for decisive kills.

• Xue Wei and Si Shengya moved to fight Xing Zhou, who drew Si Shengya away from the main battlefield, while Xue Wei led the remaining Half-Saints into battle.
• Xue Wei attacked Dragon Sovereign, who relied on Phoenix Lord, Ni Chiluan, Yang Lie, and Zhu Pang to hold her off.
• Fei found Blood Calamity fighting alongside a Dragon Race Half-Saint and chased him across the battlefield after Blood Calamity fled.
• Lu Ye chose Ming Feng as his target and moved to kill him, while Ming Feng feared the fate of Zhi Fei and Mo Duo.

Lu Ye used his Talent Tree Clone to draw out Second Saint and let the Clone be killed, then ambushed Ming Feng when he went for the Weaving Heaven Needle. After killing Ming Feng, Lu Ye turned toward another battlefield as the battle continued to go better than expected.

• Second Saint appeared and blasted Lu Ye into powder, but Ming Feng realized too late that the fallen Lu Ye was a Clone.
• Ming Feng rushed to seize the Weaving Heaven Needle, which struck him and left him vulnerable to Lu Ye’s saber attack.
• Lu Ye revealed himself alive and explained that he had anticipated a True Saint’s arrival and used his Talent Tree Clone as a decoy.
• Ming Feng fled toward Xue Wei for help, but Lu Ye’s Inch Blade split him apart before he could reach her.
• Lu Ye collected Ming Feng’s corpse and headed toward another battle group after finding no sign of Fei.

Lu Ye helped the Dragon Race turn the battle by killing several enemy Half-Saints, while Blood Calamity’s diversion kept Fei away long enough for the advantage to grow. As Xue Wei prepared to order a retreat, a vortex carrying a familiar True Saint aura appeared, threatening to overturn the battle.

• Lu Ye joined three Dragon Race Half-Saints to kill a silver Demonic Wolf Half-Saint, then helped kill a Flame Race Half-Saint.
• Xue Wei recognized that Lu Ye’s attacks were tipping the battle and called for Xing Zhou to intervene, but Fei returned instead.
• Lu Ye fought Fei while Blood Calamity returned to the battlefield, and the Dragon Race side began killing Puppet Half-Saints in increasing numbers.
• Xue Wei decided to order a retreat as the enemy’s losses mounted, but a huge vortex appeared with a familiar True Saint aura.
• Lu Ye feared the vortex meant the restrictions on True Saints descending into Star Abyss were weakening.

The Abyss used a drop of Yang Qing’s Dragon Blood to seal the Dragon Race’s ability to draw on external power, turning the battlefield against them. Lu Ye realized the dragons were in grave danger as their Half-Saints began to fall.

• Yang Qing’s aura emerged from a vortex, making the Dragon Race warriors falter, but only a drop of his Dragon Blood came through before the vortex vanished.
• The Dragon Blood burst into golden mist and scattered across the battlefield, touching Lu Ye, Fei, and the combatants around them.
• The Dragon Sovereign told Lu Ye that he could no longer draw on external power, and the other Dragon Race members suffered the same sealing effect.
• A Puppet Half-Saint killed Yang Ge, the Dragon Race Second Elder, and two more Dragon Race Half-Saints died within moments.

Abyss used Yang Qing’s Dragon Blood to weaken the Dragon Race Half-Saints, forcing Lu Ye and the Dragon Sovereign to lead a retreat while Xue Wei and Fei pursued. After Lu Ye helped his allies escape, Xue Wei returned to find that Si Shengya had fled from Xing Zhou.

• Abyss’s method weakened the Dragon Race Half-Saints, turning the battle against them and prompting Lu Ye and the Dragon Sovereign to order a retreat to Dragon City.
• Lu Ye forced Blood Calamity to cover the retreat, then used the Weaving Heaven Needle and Unfettered Army Stabilizing Banner to help the Dragon Race reach the city.
• Lu Ye joined the Dragon Sovereign, the Phoenix Lord, and their allies in driving Xue Wei back, then helped them escape in the opposite direction from Dragon City.
• Xue Wei and Fei pursued Lu Ye’s group but lost them after Lu Ye and the Phoenix Lord used the Void Teleportation Technique.
• Xue Wei returned to Dragon City with Fei and learned from Xing Zhou that Si Shengya had fled.

After Dragon City’s defenses failed and its Half-Saints were sealed from drawing external power, Dragon Sovereign chose to abandon the city and evacuate its cultivators. Lu Ye stayed behind with the wounded elders and opened a doorway to his Inner Realm, leaving Dragon City empty of living people as its final defenses faced imminent collapse.

• Lu Ye confirmed that the Talent Tree could weaken the seal preventing Dragon Sovereign and the other Dragon Race Half-Saints from drawing external power, but there was no time to free them all.
• Dragon Sovereign agreed to abandon Dragon City after Phoenix Lord reminded him that the crisis stemmed from Yang Qing’s blood being used against the Dragon Race.
• The cultivators evacuated through the Hehe Realm and Phoenix Nest while the Dragon Race Half-Saints maintained the Protective Grand Array.
• After the evacuation, Lu Ye destroyed the Teleportation Spirit Array connecting Dragon City to Phoenix Nest and prepared to withdraw with the remaining Half-Saints.
• Lu Ye opened a doorway to his Inner Realm, and the Dragon Race Half-Saints rushed through it; within three breaths, he was the only living person left in Dragon City.

Lu Ye destroyed Dragon City's Uniting Dao Pearl and escaped with the Phoenix Lord, leaving Xue Wei's forces with the ruined city. As the survivors gathered at Phoenix Nest to prepare for an attack, Si Shengya revealed that Xing Zhou had held back in the previous battle.

• Xue Wei realized Lu Ye had destroyed Dragon City's Uniting Dao Pearl, then watched her forces reduce the city to fragments without finding him.
• The Phoenix Lord received Lu Ye near Dragon City and brought him safely back to Phoenix Nest.
• The Dragon Sovereign and Phoenix Lord warned that Abyss would likely target Phoenix Nest, while Lu Ye said the Dragon Race Half-Saints could defend the city but should avoid fighting outside it.
• Lu Ye collected the Supreme Treasures from the battle and told everyone to recover while they prepared to defend Phoenix Nest.
• Si Shengya told Lu Ye that Xue Wei and the other Half-Saints served Abyss unwillingly and that Xing Zhou had used less than seventy percent of his strength in the previous battle.

Lu Ye and Si Shengya discussed recruiting Xing Zhou, but knew they needed to improve their own position before he would consider joining them. Lu Ye then let the Talent Tree devour Fang so it could grow stronger, and Fang awoke as a fruit on the tree.

• Lu Ye and Si Shengya concluded that Xing Zhou was unlikely to join them unless they first created an advantage against Abyss.
• Lu Ye recovered from his injuries and prepared to have the Talent Tree devour Fang, despite worrying about the risks to his companion.
• Fang urged Lu Ye to proceed, arguing that becoming a fruit would bind them together and let Fang grow stronger.
• Lu Ye drew the Crag Mountain Saber and guided the Talent Tree as it devoured Fang's mystery and formed a miniature saber-shaped fruit.
• Jinyao appeared and recognized Lu Ye's saber, while Fang's voice briefly fell silent and alarmed Lu Ye.
• Fang spoke again, amazed to find itself inside the Talent Tree.

Lu Ye let the Talent Tree devour the Crag Mountain Saber, absorbing Fang’s consciousness and preparing to strengthen it with more Supreme Treasures. As Lu Ye cultivated in seclusion, the Origin Realm’s fusion with the Star Abyss accelerated, while Xue Wei’s forces approached the hidden Phoenix Nest.

• Lu Ye confirmed Fang had survived the Talent Tree’s devouring, and Fang began talking with Jinyao inside the tree.
• The Talent Tree finished devouring the Crag Mountain Saber, producing a fruit brighter and larger than the others; Fang said only a small portion of itself had been withheld.
• Lu Ye gathered more than twenty seized Supreme Treasures in his Inner Realm and began refining them to strengthen Fang, replenishing the Talent Tree with Dao Fish.
• Dragon Sovereign learned from Phoenix Lord that Lu Ye was cultivating rather than healing, and that cultivators below the Half-Saint realm had begun crossing from the Origin Realm into the Star Abyss.
• Phoenix Lord and Dragon Sovereign learned that Xue Wei’s forces had found the Phoenix Nest’s approximate location, but the Half-Saints lost several Puppet Half-Saints while navigating its surrounding Void rifts.

After three months in seclusion, Lu Ye discovered that Fang had advanced to Seventh Rank by devouring Supreme Treasures, greatly increasing his strength. With enemy Half-Saints nearing the Phoenix Nest, the Primordial Parasol Tree offered to help Lu Ye use his mastery of space to deal with them.

• Lu Ye emerged from seclusion and found Fang had advanced from Fourth Rank to Seventh Rank, adding 1,536 strands of power to his strength.
• Fang said it was close to advancing another rank and urged the Primordial Parasol Tree to provide more Supreme Treasures for it to devour.
• Lu Ye ruled out using the Dragon Race's allied Supreme Treasures and considered taking the enemies' treasures, including those in the legendary Star Abyss Treasure Vault.
• The Primordial Parasol Tree appeared, learned how Fang had changed, and asked Lu Ye about his plans after describing the enemy's progress toward the Phoenix Nest.
• The Primordial Parasol Tree explained that his control of space had formed the void-rift barrier and hinted that he could use his abilities to help Lu Ye fight the Puppet Half-Saints.

Lu Ye activated the Primordial Parasol Tree’s prepared Clone in the Void-rift region as Xue Wei and the other Half-Saints confronted him. The spatial upheaval spread until Lu Ye shouted “Shatter,” breaking the surrounding space into countless fragments.

• Lu Ye traveled into the Void-rift region and waited near the point reached by Xue Wei and her forces.
• Xue Wei, Fei, and several thousand surviving Uniting Dao cultivators emerged from a spatial distortion and found Lu Ye waiting alone.
• Lu Ye poured Dao Power into the Primordial Parasol Tree’s Clone, causing it to grow and send branches into the Void rifts.
• Xue Wei ordered the Half-Saints to kill Lu Ye, but escalating spatial distortions separated her from Fei and the other cultivators.
• Lu Ye formed a hand seal and shouted “Shatter,” causing the surrounding space to break into countless fragments.

Lu Ye used the Primordial Parasol Tree’s hidden spatial measures to scatter the attackers in the Void around Phoenix Nest, then began hunting them separately. After rescuing stranded Uniting Dao cultivators into his Inner Realm, he encountered a motionless Puppet Half-Saint and waited tensely for Abyss to act.

• Lu Ye triggered the Primordial Parasol Tree’s hidden measures, shattering space and scattering thousands of attackers, including himself, through the Void.
• Lu Ye realized the spatial chaos would let him hunt the enemies one by one and set out to find the Half-Saints.
• Lu Ye stopped his saber from killing a stranded Uniting Dao cultivator, then sent him into his Inner Realm.
• Lu Ye found more than ten stranded Uniting Dao cultivators and brought them into his Inner Realm.
• Lu Ye encountered a motionless Puppet Half-Saint and braced himself for a possible attack from Abyss, but nothing happened.

Lu Ye hunted Puppet Half-Saints in the Void interstices, grew stronger with Fang’s advancement, and encountered Xing Zhou. He persuaded Xing Zhou that Abyss was a malicious force eroding the universe, but Xing Zhou remained concerned about how they could oppose the True Saints.

• Lu Ye killed Puppet Half-Saints and rescued stranded Dao Fusion cultivators while avoiding Abyss’s gaze in the Void interstices.
• After Lu Ye seized a Supreme Treasure, Fang advanced to eighth grade and increased the Dao strands it granted him.
• Lu Ye encountered Xing Zhou, judged that he could not defeat him, and sat nearby after Xing Zhou showed no intent to attack.
• Lu Ye told Xing Zhou that Abyss was the growing malice of a Chaos beast that consumed corrupted universes, and Xing Zhou was shaken by the explanation.
• Lu Ye urged Xing Zhou to resist Abyss, but Xing Zhou asked how they could deal with the nine True Saints of the Origin Realm.
• Lu Ye reminded Xing Zhou that previous campaigns in Star Abyss had brought unexpected setbacks, while Xing Zhou remained troubled by the approaching threat of the True Saints.

Lu Ye hunted Half-Saints trapped in the spatial rift while the Primordial Parasol Tree’s arrangement slowly weakened, and he continued searching for Xue Wei. When Lu Ye encountered Fei, he drew him away from a Void Current and joined Si Shengya to kill him.

• Lu Ye urged Xing Zhou to decide whether to oppose the Abyss, then left him to consider it.
• Lu Ye killed an Origin Realm Half-Saint and continued slaying enemies, collecting Supreme Treasures as Fang grew stronger.
• Lu Ye sensed that the spatial rift would repair itself within a month and grew anxious because he had not found Xue Wei.
• Lu Ye encountered Fei, fled to draw him away from a nearby Void Current, and revealed Si Shengya, whom he had concealed in his Inner Realm.
• Lu Ye and Si Shengya attacked Fei from both sides, overwhelmed his defenses, and killed him within three breaths.

Lu Ye and Si Shengya joined forces to kill Xue Wei after Xing Zhou betrayed her with a surprise attack. Xing Zhou pledged himself to their side and led the pursuing Half-Saints toward the place where Xue Wei had fallen.

• Lu Ye continued searching for Xue Wei as the gaps in the Void began returning to normal.
• When the enemies reappeared, Xue Wei and Xing Zhou pursued Lu Ye, who drew them away from the other Half-Saints.
• Lu Ye summoned Si Shengya, and the two prepared to fight Xue Wei and Xing Zhou before the other pursuers caught up.
• Xing Zhou bound and struck Xue Wei, giving Lu Ye and Si Shengya the chance to kill her together.
• Xing Zhou declared his allegiance by returning toward the pursuers and lying that Xue Wei had fallen into a trap and needed rescuing.

Lu Ye, Si Shengya, and Xing Zhou wiped out the gathered Half-Saints of the Origin Realm and their puppets, but Lu Ye remained troubled by Abyss’s apparent presence and the absence of a True Saint. The chapter ended as the three sensed a powerful tremor through the Void.

• Xing Zhou betrayed the Origin Realm Half-Saints, restraining them as Lu Ye killed their leader and the battle began.
• Lu Ye, Si Shengya, and Xing Zhou killed every Half-Saint of the Origin Realm gathered there.
• Lu Ye and Si Shengya slaughtered the puppets after Xing Zhou warned he could no longer suppress them.
• Lu Ye wondered why Abyss had watched him without sending a True Saint, while his unease persisted.
• Lu Ye, Si Shengya, and Xing Zhou felt the Void tremble as though the earth were shaking and mountains were swaying.
