Chapters 328–353 Vol. 4 Read

Ch. 328The Crisis of Total Annihilation

Lin Yi rescued two groups of Pan-Spirit Alliance prodigies from Star Vortex Rank Shi Race and Yuan Race attackers, then concluded the enemy races might be ordering their members to advance in the Secret Realm to prevent anyone from taking Source Essence out and to target him. After organizing a wider search for allies, he saved Edith and her battered squad from thirteen Yuan Race pursuers.

  • Lin Yi and Liuyun expanded their Relay Network as Lin Yi gathered Gray Crystal Cores and investigated their connection to the Black Passage.

Ch. 329When You Can't Win, You Run

Lin Yi rescued Pan-Spirit Alliance survivors while learning from Edith that the Yuan and Shi Races were using a forbidden tactic of forcing mass breakthroughs, suggesting a greater crisis beyond the Secret Realm. With their forces badly outnumbered and Hui Yao gravely wounded, Lin Yi led the group to open a mysterious passage using a Black Crystal Core, hoping it would offer refuge and a chance to survive.

  • Lin Yi gathered Edith and the injured prodigies, escaped the battle site, and connected their Silver Bracelets to his Relay Network so they could coordinate rescue efforts.
  • Edith explained that the Yuan and Shi Races' mass breakthroughs echoed a lethal legion system abandoned after it helped spark an interstellar war, prompting Lin Yi to suspect that abnormal events outside the Secret Realm were driving the attack.

  • Lin Yi rejected the idea of demanding that more prodigies sacrifice themselves through breakthroughs, then explained that a Black Crystal Core could open a passage to an unknown area.
  • Edith, Liuyun, Qingye, and the others agreed to Lin Yi's plan, and the Black Crystal Core formed a massive black vortex before them.

Ch. 330Source Essence Reappears—Who Chases Whom Remains to Be Seen

Lin Yi’s group explored the second Black Mist Layer, where his clone discovered that Purple Mist Space could directly absorb Source Essence from Black Crystal Cores. When the Yuan Race and Shi Race arrived with overwhelming forces, Lin Yi decided to use a Blood Mist Crystal Core to lead his group toward the next layer, where he hoped to turn the tables by hunting stronger Mist Beasts.

  • Lin Yi organized the young talents into exploration teams, and they encountered stronger Black Mist Beasts throughout the second layer.
  • Lin Yi killed an early-Star-Domain-Rank Giant Black Mist Beast and learned that its crystal core contained impure Source Essence.

  • Lin Yi’s group gathered ordinary black crystal cores, which fused into a dangerous Blood Mist Crystal Core.
  • Xuanji warned Lin Yi that more than eighteen hundred Yuan Race and Shi Race fighters were searching the layer, so Lin Yi proposed descending to the next layer using the Blood Mist Crystal Core.
  • Edith, Hui Yao, Qingye, Liuyun, and the other leaders agreed to Lin Yi’s plan, and he began preparing the group to move.

Ch. 331Went In, Then Came Back Out

Lin Yi led more than seven hundred prodigies into the Blood Mist Layer, where powerful Mist Beasts and the Yuan Race and Shi Race’s pursuit threatened their survival. After discovering the enemy had sealed the passage back to the Black Mist Layer, Lin Yi decided to find a stable base, grow stronger, and eventually break through the blockade.

  • Lin Yi sent a clone into the Blood Mist Layer to scout, then led the group through after it reported the entrance was clear and the environment was heavily suppressed.
  • The group advanced cautiously, avoiding powerful Blood Mist Beasts, including a near-late-Star-Domain-Rank Giant and a peak-Star-Domain-Rank King-rank beast.
  • Xuanji detected the Yuan Race and Shi Race entering the Blood Mist Layer, but later reported that their energy signatures had vanished near the passage.
  • Lin Yi’s clone returned to the passage and escaped an ambush by the enemy forces, who had sealed space around the exit and blocked the way back to the Black Mist Layer.
  • Lin Yi told the group the enemy’s blockade could leave them trapped until the Secret Realm closed, but argued that the Blood Mist Layer could serve as a temporary safe zone and a chance to gather strength.

Ch. 333Going All In

Lin Yi calculated that his own hunting could not provide enough Source Essence to strengthen him and help the camp escape, so he revealed his ability to extract it quickly and left the decision to the other prodigies. They pooled their Crystal Cores in trust, and Lin Yi accepted their wager as he prepared to lead everyone in a desperate gamble.

  • Lin Yi estimated that his hunting would yield only about six hundred Source Essence Crystal Cores in a year, leaving him unable to gain enough strength alone without abandoning the camp.

Ch. 334Betting Your Life, but Losing (Bonus Chapter)

Lin Yi used the Sprout of the Tree of Time to raise his Time Law comprehension to 5.7 percent, then led the trapped prodigies toward the exit. The Yuan and Shi Races ambushed them with a blood-fueled battle formation, forcing Lin Yi and the survivors back into the Blood Mist Layer, where they waited with no clear way out.

  • Edith gave Lin Yi a Sprout of the Tree of Time, which would mature after three hundred days and temporarily double his Time Law comprehension.
  • After three hundred days of cultivation, Lin Yi consumed the matured sprout and raised his Time Law comprehension from 1.3 percent to 5.7 percent.
  • Lin Yi gathered the 693 survivors and led them toward the passage, but the Yuan and Shi Races trapped its entrance in a combined blood-essence battle formation.
  • Lin Yi's clone used the Time Law to hold back the attack and destroyed itself, allowing Lin Yi, Edith, and some others to retreat, while many survivors remained on the other side.
  • Back at camp, Lin Yi proposed breaking through to Star Vortex Rank to help the others escape, but Edith explained that the formation could not be bypassed without overwhelming power.
  • Lin Yi told the survivors to rest as they awaited the Secret Realm's closing, then continued studying the Time Law and reflected on the Yuan and Shi Races' long-planned scheme.

Ch. 335The Big News That Shook the Star Sea

After the Myriad Secret Realm closed without the Pan-Spirit Alliance’s thousand geniuses, the outside world believed they had died, while Lin Yi and the survivors resolved to keep fighting and growing stronger inside. The Yuan Race and Shi Race launched an all-out war against the Pan-Spirit Alliance, turning the missing geniuses’ presumed deaths into only one part of a far greater crisis.

Years later, with the other races’ survivors eliminated and the Secret Realm reduced to the Blood Mist Layer, Edith told Lin Yi she could no longer absorb Source Essence Crystal Cores.

  • Lin Yi sensed a vague unease, ordered Xuanji to intensify monitoring, and learned the Gray Mist Layer had collapsed while the Black Mist Layer was nearing collapse.
  • Lin Yi crossed 30% Time Law comprehension, then used his clone and Chronology Slash to kill a Blood Mist Beast King and claim its crystal core.

  • Edith told Lin Yi that for three days she had been unable to absorb Source Essence from any crystal core because her soul would not take it in.

Ch. 340A Bond with the Future

Edith told Lin Yi that absorbing Source Essence had left her and other powerful prodigies with an increasing sense of spiritual fullness, threatening the camp’s ability to grow stronger against the Blood Mist Beasts. Lin Yi agreed to help while protecting the Purple Mist Space with a Soul Origin Covenant, and by the chapter’s end he had mastered the technique and was preparing its terms.

  • Edith explained that she had reached her limit absorbing Source Essence and that several other top prodigies had begun experiencing the same soul fullness.
