Chapter Summaries

Zero Wing’s restoration of its Heavenly Secrets Chamber of Commerce membership and Star Ring’s demotion shocked the major powers, while an alliance with War Soul Unfallen eased Zero Wing’s financial strain and gave it Subtle Realm training resources. Shi Feng led Zero Wing’s main force into the Starfall Secret Realm, where they discovered a Sub-Legendary Treasure Chest atop a damaged altar.

• Yan Tianxing decided to join Zero Wing, and Yiluo Fei agreed to go with him.
• Feng Qianyu and Azure Phoenix discussed how Star Ring’s lost high-level membership would weaken its influence and make other powers hesitate to oppose Zero Wing.
• Water Rose told Shi Feng that War Soul Unfallen offered an alliance, Credit Points, and Subtle Realm training resources in exchange for Stamina Gems and potions; Shi Feng accepted with a smaller initial contribution.
• Shi Feng accepted the Heroic-level suppression quest and led Zero Wing’s main force into the Starfall Secret Realm to reach Lord of Firefall.
• After fighting through the realm’s powerful monsters, Flying Shadow found a guarded altar with a Sub-Legendary Treasure Chest, astonishing Shi Feng.

Shi Feng discovered that the sub-Legendary treasure chest atop the altar was part of Ailock’s hidden treasure and ordered the Lava Hounds lured away without killing them. With the altar and treasure disappearing under intense divine pressure, he reached the chest and began collecting it just before it vanished.

• Shi Feng used the Eye of Omniscience to discover that the Lava Hounds were Ailock’s incarnations and realized the altar was a trap tied to the Lord of Death’s treasure.
• Shi Feng ordered Fire Dance to lure every Lava Hound more than a hundred yards from the altar without killing any of them.
• The Lava Hounds’ removal shattered the altar’s magic array, and Shi Feng raced toward the chest as divine pressure intensified and the altar began to collapse.
• Shi Feng activated Heavenly Dragon’s Power and Blade Liberation to push through the pressure and reach the chest before the altar disappeared.
• Shi Feng touched the chest and began its eight-second collection as the altar vanished around him.

After stealing the Sub-Legendary Treasure Chest, Shi Feng and his team found themselves trapped in the sealed Starfall Secret Realm, where they had to kill the strengthened Lord of Firefall or die to escape. As they headed toward the realm’s center, they discovered that the strengthened monsters could drop valuable Level 70 gear, including the Stamina-reducing Forgotten Set, and Shi Feng decided to farm them first.

• Shi Feng learned that the Lord of Death had sealed the Starfall Secret Realm and strengthened its monsters after he took the Sub-Legendary Treasure Chest.
• Shi Feng decided to level up before challenging the strengthened Lord of Firefall and judged that Zero Wing could afford the Magic Crystals needed to relocate Stone Forest Town.
• North Wind Low-Key warned Shi Feng that thousands of powerful monsters were surrounding the group, so Shi Feng led everyone toward the secret realm’s central area.
• Shi Feng’s team fought through Grand Lord Grade Lava Giants and discovered that they dropped Level 70 Mithril equipment after the realm was sealed.
• Heizi found a piece of the Forgotten Set, revealing that its four-piece effect reduced Stamina consumption by 30%.
• Shi Feng told Aqua to organize the team to farm the Lava Giants before entering the central area.

Zero Wing’s members leveled and gathered equipment in the Starfall Secret Realm, but Star Ring’s attack on neutral maps forced Shi Feng to abandon farming and head for the realm’s central region. The chapter ended with the guild confronting the Level 75 Legendary Lord of Firefall, an enormous boss with 580 million HP.

• Over eight days, Zero Wing cleared much of the inner area, reached Level 70, and collected numerous equipment sets; Shi Feng reached Level 74.
• Zero Wing defeated a Lava Behemoth, which dropped the Priest skill book Super Recovery Spell, and Shi Feng assigned it to Zi Yan Liu Yun.
• Melancholy Smile reported that Star Ring had captured Beastblood Fortress and was attacking Zero Wing’s members across neutral maps, prompting Shi Feng to order them to narrow their activities and wait for his return.
• Shi Feng stopped the group’s farming and led them toward the central region to face Lord of Firefall.
• Heizi and the others balked at fighting the Level 75 Legendary boss, Lord of Firefall, which had 580 million HP.

Feral Beast Jingfeng arrived at Star Ring’s camp and set out to attack Zero Wing’s Silver Wing Town. In the Starfall Secret Realm, Shi Feng discovered that the Lord of Firefall had become an Ancient Demon and appeared to be evolving.

• Jingfeng arrived at Star Ring’s camp, where Xinghe Wangxi and Violet Eyes recognized him as the Feral Beast who had destroyed a kingdom on the Western Continent.
• Xuanyuan Sansha warned Jingfeng that Zero Wing had powerful experts, War Puppets, and Hell Chariots, but Jingfeng decided to force them out by attacking Silver Wing Town.
• Shi Feng found that the Lord of Firefall had become an Ancient Demon, making it far stronger than the boss he had previously faced.
• Shi Feng noticed Divine Script flowing into the sleeping Lord of Firefall and realized that it seemed to be evolving, so he called for everyone to gather.

Shi Feng led Zero Wing in attacking the Lord of Firefall before it could complete its evolution. After a desperate battle that killed most of the team, Shi Feng struck down the Boss just as it unleashed a devastating sea of flames.

• Shi Feng ordered the team to attack the evolving Lord of Firefall and used the Gospel Ring to weaken it while boosting his allies.
• The team activated their burst skills and drove the Lord of Firefall down to 30% HP, but its flaming blade killed eight members in a single strike.
• Shi Feng directed the survivors through the Lord of Firefall's attacks, using Absolute Domain to protect them from Sea of Lava.
• With the Lord of Firefall below 5% HP, Bai Qingxue, Zhao Yueru, Zi Yan Liu Yun, Water Rose, and Heizi unleashed their strongest attacks as the Boss's frenzy killed Turtledove and Ye Wumian.
• When the Lord of Firefall fell below 1% HP and sent a sea of flames at Zero Wing, Shi Feng split the attack with Thunderflash Slash and killed it.

Shi Feng and the surviving players defeated Lord of Firefall and claimed an extraordinary haul of loot. After the team divided the equipment, Shi Feng used a Return Scroll to leave the Starfall Secret Realm.

• Lord of Firefall died, and the surviving players gained experience as the Starfall Secret Realm transformed.
• Shi Feng sorted the 247 drops, including the Firefall Orb, an Advanced Building Promotion Order, three Epic items, and a Legendary Item Fragment.
• Shi Feng put the weapons and equipment up for bids, and Flying Shadow, Zhao Yueru, and Remnant Cloud won the Ghost Leather Boots, Ring of Sourcefire, and Unyielding Battle Garment.
• Shi Feng announced that the quest was complete and used a Return Scroll to leave the Starfall Secret Realm.

After returning from the Starfall Secret Realm, Shi Feng learned that Star Ring had inflicted heavy losses on Zero Wing and was blockading Silver Wing Town. He sent Fire Dance and a small team to clear the blockade, supplied the guild with nearly a thousand pieces of Level 70 equipment, and left to turn in his quest to subjugate the Lord of Firefall.

• Orchid told Shi Feng that Star Ring's attacks had cost Zero Wing more than fifty thousand members, depleted its funds and equipment, and driven its forces back to Silver Wing Town.
• Shi Feng ordered Fire Dance to lead Zi Yan, Liu Yun, Sword Shadow, Flying Shadow, Half-Summer Allure, Kele, and others to Silver Wing Town to drive away Star Ring's blockade.
• Shi Feng gave Orchid nearly a thousand Level 70 weapons and equipment pieces with stamina-reducing attributes to replenish the guild warehouse.
• Orchid added the equipment to the warehouse for guild members to exchange, and the new listings excited Zero Wing's members and drew the attention of major powers.
• Shi Feng left the guild residence to turn in his quest to subjugate the Lord of Firefall.

Zero Wing completed the Heroic-level Lord of Firefall subjugation quest and became a One-Star Honorary Guild of the Star-Moon Kingdom, gaining a major advantage for developing there. As its members celebrated the guild’s new status, Fire Dance and more than thirty others rode toward the Feral Beast Legion’s camp.

• Xuanyuan Sansha ordered Yue Meng to block every land route between Silver Wing Town and the Star-Moon Kingdom, aiming to cut off Zero Wing’s income.
• Shi Feng submitted the Heart of Firefall to the Adventurers’ Association in White River City, completing Zero Wing’s Heroic-level subjugation quest.
• The Star-Moon Kingdom announced Zero Wing’s reward of 30,000 Guild Fame and its new One-Star Honorary Guild status, granting members increased attributes and experience on kingdom field maps.
• Yiluo Fei and Yan Tianxing discussed how the honorary title could let Zero Wing develop safely in the Star-Moon Kingdom despite Star Ring’s pressure.
• Fire Dance and more than thirty Zero Wing members mounted up and charged toward the Feral Beast Legion’s camp, alarming Yan Tianxing.

The Feral Beast Legion prepared to wear down Silver Wing Town, but Zero Wing’s main force charged out to confront them. Kele shattered Black Panther Under Heaven’s opening attack, leaving the two forces facing off with their strength already on display.

• Vice Commander Cloud-Covered Mountains told the Feral Beast Legion that their mission was to destroy Zero Wing while conserving strength for the Western Continent’s other enemies.
• A scout reported that a little over thirty members of Zero Wing’s main force were approaching, and Cloud-Covered Mountains ordered Yumo and Black Panther Under Heaven to intercept them while calling for reinforcements.
• Yumo and Black Panther Under Heaven led their squads toward Fire Dance’s group as players in Silver Wing Town watched, and Yan Tianxing rushed after them in alarm.
• Black Panther Under Heaven launched a massive attack at Fire Dance’s group, but Kele countered with Divine Impact and shattered the energy barrier, sending Black Panther Under Heaven staggering backward.

Kele defeated Black Panther World with the Scorchwind Set’s overwhelming power, but Yumo’s ambush put him under pressure until Fire Dance appeared and blocked her attack. The battle continued as the Feral Beast Legion sent reinforcements against Zero Wing.

• Kele transformed into the War God of Fire and killed Black Panther World with five axe strikes.
• Yumo ambushed Kele, dealt heavy damage, and forced him to defend against her attacks.
• Cloud-Covered Mountains ordered Radiant Python to help Yumo and called for Xuanyuan Sansha’s people to hurry.
• Yumo split into three and launched a powerful attack at Kele, but an unknown swordswoman shattered two of the strikes.
• The swordswoman revealed herself as Zero Wing’s Fire Dance.

Fire Dance rejected Yan Tianxing’s offer to help and faced Yumo alone. When Yumo unleashed Nine Shadow Steps, Fire Dance activated the Firefall Orb and struck her hard enough to send her flying and remove more than a fifth of her HP.

• Fire Dance blocked Yumo’s attack, astonishing the Feral Beast Legion, and Yumo challenged her and Black Flame to fight together.
• Yan Tianxing warned Fire Dance that Yumo was exceptionally powerful and urged several experts to join forces against her, but Fire Dance refused.
• Yumo provoked Fire Dance and unleashed Nine Shadow Steps, creating five indistinguishable figures that attacked her with a deadly sword technique.
• Fire Dance activated the Firefall Orb and swung Everchanging, striking Yumo and sending her flying more than fifteen yards while costing her over one-fifth of her HP.

Fire Dance, revealed as a Tier 3 player, defeated Yumo and slaughtered the Feral Beast Legion’s three squads. Cloud-Covered Mountains ordered the surviving legion members to retreat.

• Yumo used her corporeal clones and Nine Shadow Steps to attack Fire Dance, but Fire Dance knocked her and her clone back with a single slash.
• Fire Dance vanished and reappeared before Yumo, killing her with one strike.
• Fire Dance turned on the Feral Beast Legion and killed its three squads, including Radiant Python.
• A terrified Feral Beast Legion member asked Cloud-Covered Mountains what to do, and he ordered a retreat.

After Fire Dance drove off the Feral Beast Legion, Zero Wing’s defense of Silver Wing Town inspired players and unsettled the major forces, though Star Ring’s pressure still threatened the guild’s future in the neutral maps. Shi Feng remained confident that new funds would soon arrive as he entered White River City’s City Hall to connect to the Auction House.

• Fire Dance’s overwhelming strength forced the Feral Beast Legion to retreat from Silver Wing Town, ending Star Ring’s blockade there.
• The major forces abandoned plans to exploit Zero Wing, while Yan Tianxing and Yiluo Fei were shocked by Fire Dance’s strength.
• News of Zero Wing’s defense spread, increasing independent players’ eagerness to join the guild even as Star Ring continued suppressing it.
• Orchid worried that recruiting more players would worsen Zero Wing’s financial strain, but Shi Feng said funds would arrive soon.
• Shi Feng entered White River City’s City Hall to connect to the Auction House.

Shi Feng delivered the required items to Whiteman and completed the Sub-Legendary Quest "Road to Prosperity," earning the White River City Auction House Opening Certificate and a level increase. He received a choice between a Top-tier Building Design and a Gold-rank Town Promotion Order.

• Shi Feng saw independent players crowding City Hall to buy White River City's Auction House rooms, though many hesitated because Star Ring was suppressing Zero Wing and drawing sellers to Star-Moon City.
• Shi Feng recalled the Auction House rooms' storage, teleportation, trading, and advanced-auction benefits, and understood why White River City's rooms were attracting fewer buyers than those in Star-Moon City.
• An NPC senior steward led Shi Feng to Whiteman's study, where Shi Feng handed over one hundred units of Seven Luminaries Crystal and the Heroic Suppression Medal.
• Whiteman gave Shi Feng the White River City Auction House Opening Certificate, completing the quest and raising Shi Feng from Level 74 to Level 76 while granting five Inheritance Skill Points and twenty Free Mastery.
• Shi Feng received an additional reward choice between a Top-tier Building Design and a Gold-rank Town Promotion Order, with five minutes to decide.

Shi Feng chose a Gold-ranked Town Promotion Order for Zero Wing and connected White River City's Auction House with Stone Forest Town's. After learning Star Ring had crippled War Soul Unfallen, he ordered Water Rose to negotiate for the Dark Night Empire holdings other powers were abandoning, and received a Silver Auction House Certificate.

• Shi Feng chose the Gold-ranked Town Promotion Order, deciding it would protect Zero Wing sooner than a top-tier building blueprint.
• Shi Feng went to White River City's Auction House to connect it with Stone Forest Town's Auction House.
• Water Rose told Shi Feng that Star Ring had severely damaged War Soul Unfallen, leaving Star Ring poised to consolidate power in the Dark Night Empire.
• Shi Feng told Water Rose to negotiate to acquire the land and shops that other powers were selling in the Dark Night Empire.
• Hope completed the auction-house connection and gave Shi Feng a Silver Auction House Certificate.

Shi Feng inspected the Silver-rank Auction House Certificate and connected Zero Wing’s Stone Forest Town Auction House to the White River City Auction House. The two Auction Houses shared their warehouses, displaying all their items to players.

• Shi Feng discovered that the Silver-rank Certificate increased transaction income and accelerated an Auction House’s fame growth.
• Shi Feng left the White River City Auction House and traveled to the declining Stone Forest Town.
• Shi Feng entered the Zero Wing Auction House and went to its top-floor warehouse.
• Shi Feng used the Certificate to summon a doorway linking the Stone Forest Town and White River City warehouses.
• Shi Feng opened the shared warehouse, and both Auction Houses displayed all their items to players.

Zero Wing Auction House’s expanded stock drew players to Stone Forest Town and boosted White River City’s auction revenue. Shi Feng then agreed to buy forty-five shops across ten cities in the Dark Night Empire, and Zero Wing took ownership soon afterward.

• A Level 44 Shield Warrior and his party discovered Zero Wing Auction House’s new selection of Magic Scrolls and high-grade equipment, including a Level 45 Dark Gold shield.
• News of the auction house’s stock spread, bringing players to Stone Forest Town and raising its revenue while White River City’s auction house also became busy.
• Orchid was stunned as White River City’s auction income more than doubled, while Shi Feng considered the growth only a beginning.
• Water Rose told Shi Feng that forty-five shops in ten Dark Night Empire cities would cost 1.06 million Gold and that the sellers required payment within one month.
• Shi Feng approved the purchase, and Zero Wing took ownership of all forty-five shops less than half an hour later.

War Soul Unfallen debated how to respond to its losses and Star Ring’s growing control of the Undead Ancient Country. Zero Wing’s purchase of forty-five shops across the Dark Night Empire raised its reputation and sparked speculation about a showdown, while Shi Feng headed toward the Undead Ancient Country.

• Mu Lingsha reported that Crimson Emperor had halted its operations and would not help War Soul Unfallen.
• Immortal Battle Heart proposed relying on Zero Wing’s Stamina Gems and Stamina Secret Potions, but Soul Oath criticized the guild’s cooperation with Zero Wing.
• An Assassin reported that Zero Wing had purchased forty-five shops across ten major cities in the Dark Night Empire.
• Mu Lingsha welcomed Zero Wing’s move, while Soul Oath and Immortal Battle Heart worried it would provoke Star Ring and ruin Zero Wing.
• Independent players across the Dark Night Empire praised Zero Wing’s boldness, and its reputation soared.
• Shi Feng brought synthesized Magic Crystal Stones to the empire’s border, teleported to a nearby neutral map, and rode toward the Undead Ancient Country.

Shi Feng entered the Undead Ancient Country and made his way through its dangerous inner regions toward the Bottomless Abyss, hoping Zero Wing could profit enough to repay its enormous debt. In Illusion Forest, he spotted an independent team fighting Star Ring over a powerful undead Boss and decided to intervene.

• Shi Feng prepared for the Undead Ancient Country’s stamina drain, then crossed its barrier despite its spatial disorder and oppressive gravity.
• As he traveled toward the Bottomless Abyss, Shi Feng avoided undead monsters and traps while passing rare resources and ancient equipment fragments.
• After more than six hours, Shi Feng reached Illusion Forest, where Grand Lords were common and High Grand Lords sometimes appeared.
• Shi Feng used the Eye of Omniscience to discover an independent hundred-player team and a Star Ring team fighting over a Level 69 High Grand Lord guarding a Dark Gold Grade Treasure Chest.
• Recognizing the Star Ring team as a target, Shi Feng strode toward the battle to help the independent players.
