Six-year-old Jin Feng went to the Defense Clan’s Awakening Hall to awaken his martial soul, hoping for a powerful weapon type. The Great Elder began testing the children, and the chapter left Jin Feng waiting for his turn.

• Jin Feng greeted Clan Chief Niu Gao and the elders before the Great Elder began the awakening ceremony.
• Niu Fei awakened the Plate Armor Giant Rhino martial soul with level 6 Innate Soul Power, pleasing his grandfather, the Second Elder.

During Jin Feng’s Martial Soul awakening, a dormant golden liquid activated and encased him in a cocoon for a month. He emerged unharmed with strange golden markings and a black-gold beast egg, leaving Niu Gao and the elders eager to learn what happened.

• Jin Feng’s awakening triggered the golden liquid in his consciousness, causing intense pain and surrounding him with a golden cocoon.
• Niu Gao ordered everyone to leave the cocoon untouched, and the clan elders suspected Jin Feng was undergoing a Martial Soul mutation.
• Jin Feng was pulled into his sea of consciousness, where the golden liquid sent a torrent of images and information into his mind.
• A month later, the cocoon burst, revealing Jin Feng with golden markings and a black-gold beast egg beneath him.
• Jin Feng returned his unusual eyes and skin to normal, dressed in a robe from Niu Gao, and faced the elders’ questions about the cocoon and egg.

Jin Feng’s martial soul mutation produced the Golden Horned Behemoth, an Externalized Martial Soul that displayed extraordinary powers. After revealing its abilities to the Defense Clan, Jin Feng left them stunned by merging with it for combat.

• Jin Feng explained that the black-gold beast egg was his Golden Horned Behemoth, which hatched and grew by consuming its shell fragments.
• Niu Gao and the elders recognized the creature as a rare Externalized Martial Soul, and Jin Feng demonstrated Innate Full Soul Power.

• Jin Feng revealed that the Golden Horned Behemoth could merge with him, then summoned it into his body.

Jin Feng demonstrated the Golden Horned Behemoth’s powers to Niu Gao and the elders, who agreed to conceal his Martial Soul and help him prepare for a powerful first Soul Ring. After receiving his late mother’s Storage Soul Tool, Jin Feng vowed revenge on Spirit Hall and Clear Sky Sect, then reflected on the Origin Blood’s inherited memories.

• Jin Feng transformed and revealed that the Golden Horned Behemoth’s tail could become a weapon and that devoured metal strengthened his body and raised his Soul Ring limit.
• Niu Gao judged Jin Feng strong enough to absorb a roughly 900-year Soul Ring, and Jin Feng said he intended to break the continent’s record for a first ring.
• Niu Gao warned that Spirit Hall and other powers would target Jin Feng, and the elders promised to keep his Martial Soul secret.
• Niu Gao gave Jin Feng his late mother Niu Yun’s Storage Soul Tool and took him to the clan warehouse to gather metal.
• That night, Jin Feng recalled that the Origin Blood held the Golden Horned Behemoth Clan’s inherited memories and vowed to avenge his family and clansmen.

Jin Feng reviewed the Golden Horned Behemoth Clan’s inherited secret arts and strengthened his Martial Soul by feeding it metals. After seven days, Niu Gao tested whether Jin Feng could withstand the pressure needed to absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring, and Jin Feng chose to continue past level 20.

• Jin Feng chose several inherited secret arts to cultivate and planned to strengthen his Golden Horned Behemoth Martial Soul by having it devour metal.
• Jin Feng rested after a month of receiving inheritance memories, then spent seven days refining metal as his Golden Horned Behemoth grew to about one and a half meters long.
• The Golden Horned Behemoth’s growth raised Jin Feng’s physical strength to the level of a three-ring Soul Elder.
• Niu Gao gathered Jin Feng, Niu Ben, and the four great elders in the Clan Chief Hall and explained that he would test Jin Feng’s ability to withstand Soul Pressure before seeking a thousand-year Soul Ring.
• Niu Gao released Soul Pressure, increasing it from level 10 to level 20; Jin Feng endured it without activating his Martial Soul, while his Golden Horned Behemoth prepared to defend him.
• When Niu Gao asked whether he wanted to continue, Jin Feng said he wanted to find his limit.

Six-year-old Jin Feng endured Niu Gao’s Soul Power pressure and set a record before traveling with his grandfather to Star Dou Forest to find his first Soul Ring. After choosing a 1,500-year Golden Python, Jin Feng prepared to absorb its ring.

• Jin Feng withstood level 30 Soul Power pressure with Martial Soul Possession, and Niu Gao confirmed he had met the requirements for a first Soul Ring.
• Niu Gao assigned the Defense Clan to gather metal for Jin Feng while he and Jin Feng traveled toward Star Dou Forest.
• Jin Feng and Niu Gao entered Star Dou Forest, where Soul Beasts kept their distance because of Jin Feng’s Golden Horned Behemoth bloodline.
• Jin Feng selected a 1,500-year Golden Python despite Niu Gao’s concern that it might be too strong.
• Niu Gao defeated the Golden Python and dragged it, heavily wounded, before Jin Feng.

Jin Feng absorbed the Golden Python’s thousand-year Soul Ring and discovered that it granted him two Soul Skills despite being his first ring. After demonstrating their power to Niu Gao, he left his grandfather astonished by his unusual abilities.

• Jin Feng absorbed the Golden Python’s Soul Ring himself after it was rejected by his Externalized Golden Horned Behemoth, while the Behemoth devoured the Python’s corpse.
• Niu Gao guarded Jin Feng overnight as he completed the absorption and awakened with a purple first Soul Ring and Soul Power at level 12.
• Jin Feng told Niu Gao that his first Soul Ring had granted him two Soul Skills, then demonstrated Golden Scale Body Protection and Golden Light Slash.
• Jin Feng explained the skills’ defensive and offensive effects, and Niu Gao accepted that the extra Soul Skill made up for Jin Feng’s lower-than-expected Soul Power.

Jin Feng revealed his divine inheritance to Niu Gao and trained the Golden Horned Behemoth in Star Dou Forest for a week, where it rapidly gained strength and combat experience. As they prepared to leave, roars and fighting nearby drew Jin Feng and Niu Gao toward the commotion.

• Niu Gao warned Jin Feng to keep the Golden Horned Behemoth from devouring bloody corpses in front of outsiders and worried that its size and soul ring would attract attention.
• Jin Feng told Niu Gao that his Martial Soul came from a divine inheritance and that secret techniques could change its size and the color of his soul rings.
• Jin Feng and Niu Gao agreed to train in Star Dou Forest for a week, with Niu Gao intervening only if Jin Feng faced mortal danger.

• After consuming all the metal in their storage Soul Tools, the Golden Horned Behemoth grew to three and a half meters long with a four-meter wingspan.
• As Jin Feng and Niu Gao prepared to leave Star Dou Forest, they heard fighting nearby, put away the Golden Horned Behemoth, and hurried toward the sounds.

• Jin Feng and Niu Gao found Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuyun, and their wounded companions surrounded by powerful soul beasts.
• Niu Gao concealed Jin Feng’s aura, then used his third Soul Skill to disrupt the beasts and help Dai Weisi’s group break through.

• Dai Weisi’s Soul Emperor guard returned, and Niu Gao left to rejoin Jin Feng.
• Zhu Zhuyun asked Dai Weisi whether he was trying to recruit the Defense Clan.

Dai Weisi planned to recruit the Defense Clan, while Niu Gao decided the Star Luo Empire could help Jin Feng grow strong enough to face Spirit Hall. Jin Feng discovered a way to repay his clan and followed Golden Horn to a meteorite containing Star Secret Silver, where Niu Gao spotted something suspicious.

• Dai Weisi discussed recruiting the Defense Clan and ordered his guard to find out what the clan needed so he could prepare an irresistible offer.
• Niu Gao told Jin Feng he would consider an alliance with the Star Luo Empire to secure resources and support for the Defense Clan.

• Golden Horn sensed a special metal to the north and carried Jin Feng and Niu Gao to a silver-black meteorite.
• Jin Feng identified the meteorite as containing eighty-seven percent Star Secret Silver, and Niu Gao noticed something unusual about the site.

Jin Feng and Niu Gao found an unconscious silver-haired girl beside the Extraterrestrial Meteorite, and she awakened with no memories except the name Na'er. Jin Feng recognized her as Gu Yuena and realized Di Tian had arranged for them to take her away, leaving him to weigh the risks and benefits of bringing the Silver Dragon King back to the Defense Clan.

• Jin Feng approached the unconscious silver-haired girl and sensed a dangerous presence, while Niu Gao discovered her constitution was weak and her origin damaged.
• The girl awoke, clung to Jin Feng, and said his scent made her feel comfortable and warm.
• The girl could not remember her family or name, but recalled that someone had called her Na'er.
• Jin Feng identified Na'er as Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, and suspected his Golden Horned Behemoth bloodline had drawn her to him.
• Jin Feng examined Gu Yuena's Black Dragon Reverse Scale pendant and concluded that Di Tian had staged the encounter to persuade them to take her away.
• Jin Feng decided to bring Gu Yuena with him, reasoning that Di Tian's protection could benefit him even as it gave Di Tian reason to worry.

• Jin Feng named the amnesiac girl Gu Yuena, and she agreed to return to the Defense Clan with him and Niu Gao.

• After three months, the Golden Horned Behemoth had grown from three and a half meters to four meters, and its power had greatly strengthened Jin Feng’s body and spiritual power.

After three months of work, Jin Feng completed Beast Scripture 5.0, a cultivation method that greatly accelerated Beast Martial Spirit Soul Masters and could help evolve their Martial Spirits. He presented the manuals and his blood to the Defense Clan, and Niu Ben agreed to test them before Dai Weisi’s visit.

• Jin Feng completed Beast Scripture 5.0, which increased Beast Martial Spirit Soul Masters’ cultivation speed by 500%, after creating versions 1.0 through 4.0.
• Jin Feng told Gu Yuena he was going to discuss an important matter with his grandfather, and she stayed behind to read.
• Jin Feng presented the five Beast Scripture manuals and a bottle of his blood to Niu Gao, Niu Ben, and the Four Great Elders, explaining that Beast Soul Masters needed his blood to cultivate the method.
• Jin Feng explained that first-time cultivation had a high chance of mutating and evolving a Beast Martial Spirit, while Niu Gao warned that the clan needed to avoid noticeable changes before Dai Weisi’s visit.
• Niu Ben volunteered to try the Beast Scripture and Jin Feng’s blood.

Niu Ben cultivated version 5.0 of the Beast Scripture, mutated his martial soul, and broke through to level 60, then defeated the Fourth Elder in a spar. Jin Feng proposed founding the Beast God Sect around the Defense Clan, and the elders heard his plan for recruiting beast martial soul masters and assigning ranks and cultivation versions.

• Niu Ben used Jin Feng's blood to cultivate version 5.0 of the Beast Scripture, and his Plate Armor Giant Rhino martial soul mutated into a Golden Horned Scaled Rhino as he broke through to level 60.

• Niu Gao and the Four Great Elders agreed to name the mutated martial soul the Golden Horned Scaled Rhino.
• Jin Feng proposed establishing the Beast God Sect, recruiting only beast martial soul masters, and assigning disciples ranks and Beast Scripture versions according to their strength.

• Dai Weisi offered the Defense Clan several carts of Red Gold Stone, then said he had a request for Niu Gao and the clan.

• Dai Weisi hired the Defense Clan to reinforce border fortresses and major cities, and Niu Gao accepted the project.

• Jin Feng’s strengthened body and the Golden Horned Behemoth’s Origin Blood made him confident he could absorb a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring safely.
• Niu Gao, the elders, and the Defense Clan members grew stronger through the Beast Scripture while secretly concealing their Martial Soul evolution and Soul Power.

After a year of growth, Jin Feng used the flying Golden Horned Behemoth to help Niu Gao and Second Elder capture a 12,000-year Swift Golden Roc for his next soul ring. The Roc fell from the sky and died, and its black soul ring appeared above its corpse.

• Jin Feng explained that the Golden Horned Behemoth had grown to eight meters but could still expand to twenty meters as his Soul Power increased.
