Ch. 541Humanoid World Beasts were a great invention

Key plot points and events

  • Reaching level 50 restores Chen Ming’s depleted reserves. With ten World Law Fragments and an unexpected Abyssal Heart, he considers his mission on the Desolate Star complete—but continues fighting to collect more fragments and gain enough experience to advance.
  • A level 54 World Beast appears: a dead Three-Eye Race Saint whose body and collapsed mind have been taken over by demonic energy, making it a powerful Blood Race–created blood slave.
  • The creature attacks with Eternal Storm, but Chen Ming meets it head-on with his Purple-Gold Trident and Minor Scourge. Its world-enhanced offense is dangerous, but its Saint-level body lacks a true World Beast’s durability. Chen Ming quickly overwhelms and kills it.
  • The level 55 World Beast is also humanoid. Chen Ming defeats it with repeated Minor Scourge attacks, earning rewards from both battles and moving closer to level 50.

Character development

  • Chen Ming remains focused on strengthening himself and gathering World Law Fragments, especially because he believes Blue Star needs a true Deity to survive possible dangers in the Chaos Star Domain.
  • His confidence grows as he discovers that humanoid World Beasts’ immense attack power is offset by their comparatively fragile bodies. He turns what was designed as a deadly trap into an opportunity.

Themes

  • Power and vulnerability: High offensive strength does not guarantee resilience; Chen Ming exploits the blood slaves’ weakness.
  • Preparation and adaptability: The Blood Race’s strategy is dangerous against ordinary Saints, but Chen Ming’s unusual resistance to world-grade attacks lets him counter it.
  • Threats beyond the battlefield: Chen Ming’s pursuit of fragments is tied to protecting Blue Star from wider, still-unclear developments.

Character interactions

  • The Three-Eye Blood Slave attacks Chen Ming with Eternal Storm; Chen Ming counters aggressively and kills it before it can mount an effective response.
  • The level 55 humanoid World Beast meets the same fate. Chen Ming jokes that the Blood Race has done him a favor by creating such convenient opponents, while recognizing that they were intended to ambush Human Race Saints.

Ch. 542Where's My Level 53 World Beast?!

Key plot points and events

  • Chen Ming has already killed the two Blood Race Saint blood slaves with little effort. As the Miasma Beasts across Desolate Star are nearly wiped out, the Great Mist begins to thin; the mysterious scarlet moon remains unexplained.
  • A level 56 World Beast—a colossal spider—appears. Chen Ming enters the mist with his Purple-Gold Trident to fight it.
  • Meanwhile, the Human and Blood Race Saints’ opposing domains shatter, exposing their ongoing battle. Fu Yuntian suspects the Blood Race is holding back a hidden plan, but Youye refuses to explain.
  • A distant World Beast’s cry reveals that Chen Ming has killed the level 53, 54, and 55 World Beasts. Battlefield notifications show him topping the damage rankings, with an enormous score against the level 53 beast.
  • Stunned Saints recognize Chen Ming’s name. Youye appears to have been expecting him, while Fu Yuntian realizes Chen may be the mysterious Supreme Saint they had sensed.
  • The Blood Race Saints rush toward the battlefield’s center first; the Human Race Saints follow.

Character developments and interactions

  • Chen Ming continues to demonstrate extraordinary strength, advancing through multiple World Beasts and drawing the attention of both factions.
  • Fu Yuntian shifts from suspicion about the Blood Race’s tactics to concern and curiosity about Chen Ming’s identity and power.
  • Youye remains guarded and cryptic, hinting that Chen’s arrival is significant.
  • The Saints on both sides react with disbelief, and the Qingqiu City Saints confirm that Chen Ming attacked the World Beasts as they suspected.

Significant themes

  • Escalating power and surprise: Chen Ming’s rapid victories overturn the Saints’ expectations.
  • Hidden agendas and uncertainty: Youye’s evasiveness and the unexplained scarlet moon suggest larger threats or plans.
  • A changing world: The thinning Great Mist signals the possible end of its era on Desolate Star, though the moon’s origin remains unknown.

Ch. 543Level 50 Awakening!

Chapter Summary

Key plot points and events

  • The ongoing Saint Grade battle abruptly breaks off as Human and Blood Race Saints rush toward the World Beast Battlefield’s central region, all drawn by Chen Ming’s name topping the rankings.
  • Human Saints react in different ways: many assume Chen Ming is an older, “shameless” Supreme Saint; those who recognize him as a young Desolate Star Trial participant are stunned by his achievements; Qingqiu City’s Saints look forward to everyone else’s surprise.
  • The Blood Race moves toward Chen Ming in silence. Youye recognizes his name and eagerly anticipates meeting him.
  • Before the Saints arrive, Chen Ming kills the level 56 Heavenly Demon Spider, securing another top ranking and bringing his level to 50.
  • Reaching the milestone triggers an awakening: Chen Ming gains the SSS-grade skill Primordial Force.
  • Primordial Force lets him reduce his capabilities across most areas to strengthen one chosen ability or effect. Its cost would normally be proportional, but Absolute Defense prevents the skill from reducing Chen Ming’s constitution and largely shields his mental power from proportional loss. This makes the new skill far safer—and more powerful—than intended.

Character developments and interactions

  • Chen Ming demonstrates extraordinary strength by defeating three World Beasts alone and reaching level 50. He quickly understands Primordial Force and realizes Absolute Defense has created an unusual advantage.
  • The Human Saints shift from dismissing or questioning Chen Ming to recognizing that his Supreme Saint status makes him someone they must treat seriously.
  • Youye is eager to confront Chen Ming, suggesting the Blood Race has been waiting for this encounter.
  • Absolute Defense effectively interferes with Primordial Force, protecting Chen Ming from much of its cost.

Significant themes

  • Power and reputation: Chen Ming’s leaderboard results force even experienced Saints to reconsider their assumptions about him.
  • Exceptional growth: His milestone awakening is far beyond what ordinary Class Changers receive at level 50.
  • Abilities interacting in unexpected ways: Absolute Defense alters Primordial Force’s intended cost, turning a risky conversion skill into a potentially overwhelming advantage.
  • The value of strength: The Saints’ complaints give way to caution once they consider Chen Ming’s status and power.

Ch. 544[Battle-Hardened]: I ascended!

Key plot points and events

  • Chen Ming reconsiders Primordial Force, an ability that creates power by reducing his other combat attributes. He realizes its ability to draw from many different sources—including eternal and unique attributes, elemental power, Spirit Source, and the Void Law—could make it extraordinarily versatile.
  • He tests it by reducing his overall combat strength by 1%, using the passive ability Battle-Hardened as the enhancement target.
  • Primordial Force raises Battle-Hardened’s recovery-efficiency bonus from 101% to 5000%. At that rate, Chen estimates it could restore more than 80,000 constitution in ten minutes, potentially returning him from near death to full health.
  • He then uses Primordial Force to restore the various attributes and energies depleted by the test. The lost 1% is nearly recovered, showing that the ability can help repair the cost of using itself.
  • Chen considers building a more complete recovery loop, perhaps by awakening a comprehensive restoration ability or integrating a suitable Spirit Source Divine Path. He also speculates that investing more Primordial Force into an offensive technique such as Great Scourge could push it beyond God Grade.

Character development

  • Chen shifts from viewing Primordial Force as a costly, unimpressive ability to recognizing its potential as a powerful tool for concentrating diverse forms of strength into one effect.
  • His experimentation reveals a strategic, inventive side: rather than relying solely on conventional abilities, he considers using Spirit Source integration to solve Primordial Force’s recovery limitations.

Character interactions

  • There are no meaningful interactions with other characters in this chapter. The focus is on Chen’s testing, observations, and internal reasoning.

Significant themes

  • Power through trade-offs: A broad reduction in strength can yield an enormous specialized boost.
  • Experimentation and ingenuity: Chen discovers an ability’s value by testing its limits rather than judging it by its description.
  • Self-sustaining power: Primordial Force may eventually form a loop in which it strengthens recovery abilities that restore the resources it consumes.
  • Potential beyond established limits: Chen begins to imagine abilities and attacks exceeding their usual rank ceilings.

Ch. 545Both a Supreme Saint and a King Rank

Chen Ming tested the power of Primordial Force and considered using it to recover during battles, then faced a gathering of Saints who discovered his identity as King Rank. When a Blood Race Ancient Beast challenged him, Chen Ming killed it instantly with lightning.

  • Chen Ming decided to test Primordial Force's offensive strength in the coming World Beast War and watched a level 57 World Beast approach.
  • Youye and the Human Race Saints arrived, recognized Chen Ming, and learned that he was both a Supreme Saint and a King Rank.
  • A Blood Race Ancient Beast dismissed Chen Ming's feats as tricks and demanded to know whether he had obtained the Abyssal Heart.
  • Chen Ming answered with a lightning attack that tore the Ancient Beast apart and killed him instantly.

Ch. 546God-grade barrier

Chen Ming killed a Blood Race Ancient Beast with an enhanced elemental attack, then extracted its essence blood while the Blood Race dared not interfere. As the Human Race prepared to attack the remaining Blood Race forces, Youye raised a God-grade blood shadow barrier, leaving Chen Ming and the others to wait for it to collapse rather than reveal his own God-grade trump card.

  • Chen Ming used Primordial Force to enhance his spirit source energy and killed the Blood Race Ancient Beast with one blast.
  • Chen Ming extracted the Ancient Beast's essence blood while the Jade Fox Pendant pulled out its damaged spirit body, and Youye warned the Blood Race not to provoke him.
  • Fu Yuntian asked Chen Ming whether he would help the Human Race finish off the Blood Race, and Chen Ming agreed that either choice was fine.
  • The Human Race Saints prepared to surround the Blood Race, but Youye and the others formed an enormous blood shadow barrier.
  • Chen Ming used Void Sight to determine that the barrier had God-grade strength and a limited duration, and he chose not to reveal his own God-grade power.

Ch. 547Two Hundred Million After Two Hundred Million

Chen Ming joined the Human Race Saints in attacking the World Beasts and revealed that he could sustain Supreme Saint Grade combat power. After repeatedly dealing enormous damage, he led the rankings and helped defeat the level 57 World Beast, leaving the Saints stunned by his strength.

  • Chen Ming joined the Saints attacking the World Beasts and initially ranked third while using an ordinary Minor Scourge.
  • Chen Ming activated Primordial Force and struck the level 57 World Beast, jumping to first place with 430 million damage.
  • Chen Ming continued dealing roughly 200 million damage per attack and helped kill the level 57 World Beast.
  • Chen Ming led the damage rankings against the level 58 and level 59 World Beasts, reaching two billion damage against the level 59 beast.
  • The Human Race Saints realized Chen Ming could maintain Supreme Saint Grade combat power rather than unleash it only in a brief burst.

Ch. 548The world's revival

After Chen Ming’s victory helped revive the Desolate Star, a level 61 black dragon World Beast appeared, having killed the level 60 beast. Chen Ming realized that defeating the dragon during the world’s rebirth could empower his Star Dipper Chessboard, and prepared to claim the role of opening the heavens.

  • The Saints discussed Chen Ming’s Supreme Saint-level combat strength and wondered how he would fare in the Sacred Court before learning they might soon be sent to the escalating conflict in the Chaos Star Domain.
  • Fu Yuntian privately connected Chen Ming’s origins and sudden rise to the secrets behind the Chaos Star Domain crisis.
  • After the level 59 World Beast fell, the mist dissipated across the Desolate Star, and its dormant world energy began to revive.
  • The level 60 World Beast was reported dead, and a level 61 black dragon descended atop its corpse after killing it.
  • Fu Yuntian explained that killing the dragon would fully open the Desolate Star’s heavens, while Chen Ming sensed his Star Dipper Chessboard responding to the reviving world energy.
  • Chen Ming resolved to swiftly and flawlessly kill the black dragon and use the Star Dipper Manifestation to resonate with the world’s rebirth.

Ch. 549Desolate Star Reborn

Chen Ming used the Star Dipper Chessboard and Divine Heaven-Splitting Axe’s accumulated astral force to unleash a catastrophic attack that killed the level 61 World Beast. As Desolate Star’s Great Mist era ended and its world energy began to revive, the Star Dipper Manifestation resonated with the world’s rebirth.

  • Chen Ming switched to the Star Dipper Spirit Source, unfurled the Star Dipper Chessboard, and prepared to use his accumulated origin astral force.
  • Chen Ming struck the black dragon with an Astral Wind Calamity that trapped the battlefield in a destructive storm and kept the other Saints from intervening.
  • The level 61 World Beast fell, and the world notification named Chen Ming first in the World Damage Ranking with 3,000,000,000 damage.
  • Across Desolate Star, people learned that the level 61 World Beast had died and that the Great Mist era had ended.
  • Desolate Star’s world energy began to revive, and the Star Dipper Manifestation resonated with the world’s renewal.

Ch. 550Saint-grade Essence

After slaying the level 61 World Beast, Chen Ming received saint-grade essence and considered how to strengthen his spirit sources before advancing to Saint. As the Desolate Star's barrier collapsed, he sensed a terrifying attack from the blood moon.

  • Chen Ming chose the Yin-Yang Twin Fish as his next spirit-source path, planning to fuse them with the Star Dipper Chessboard when they reached saint-tier.
  • Chen Ming defeated the level 61 World Beast, obtained a Saint Dragon Reverse Scale containing saint-grade essence, and advanced to level 51.

  • Chen Ming and the Saints saw Blood Race Saints and ancient beasts performing a ritual around the Grand Void Ancient Beast inside the weakening blood shadow barrier.
  • The barrier shattered, and Chen Ming sensed a terrifying fluctuation as the blood moon opened its eyes in fury.

Ch. 551Kidnapping Chen Ming

Chen Ming was caught in a Blood Race ambush that used a Crimson Moon and spatial routes to abduct him to the Blood Race Territory, while a powerful Deity interfered with his escape. He found a way to send his Night Wanderer Clone through the barrier and prepared to investigate the Blood Race’s plan.

  • Chen Ming realized the Blood Race had shattered the Blood Shadow Barrier to conceal an attack targeting him, and the Crimson Moon’s blood shadows surrounded him with spatial routes leading to the Blood Race Territory.
  • Chen Ming tried to rewind space-time, but a stronger Unique Agility user accelerated it and threatened to send him instantly to the distant destination.
  • The Spirit Mechanism Deity arrived but could not break the blood shadow domain, then summoned the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
  • Chen Ming attempted to escape with his Night Wanderer Clone, but the domain blocked it until he infused his Night Wanderer Form with 10% Primordial Force.
  • Chen Ming's transformed clone passed through the blood shadow domain, and after confirming he could swap positions with it, he decided to find out what the Blood Race was planning.
