The Purple Shadow Adventure Group fought Star Ring over a Forest BOSS, but Chenhui overwhelmed their strongest fighters. Just as Chenhui moved to kill Mu Qingcheng, a black-armored swordsman appeared and drew his attention.

• Shenqiu Mingdong ordered Purple Shadow to keep fighting Star Ring, while Mu Qingcheng and Ban Jian Jingyu went to reinforce the front line.
• Chenhui sent Star Ring's personal guard charging at Purple Shadow after the BOSS's HP fell below 20%, breaking through their defenses and targeting their healers.
• Mu Qingcheng summoned six Treants and controlled the forest vines with Tree World Descent, while Ban Jian Jingyu unleashed flaming arrows to stop Star Ring's advance.
• Chenhui dodged Ban Jian Jingyu's attacks and killed him with a single Bone Greatsword strike, then charged at Mu Qingcheng.
• As Chenhui raised his sword to kill Mu Qingcheng, he stopped and stared gravely at a black-armored man approaching through the forest.

Shi Feng confronted Chenhui and claimed the Boss and Dark Gold Grade Treasure Chest, leaving the Purple Shadow Adventure Group stunned by Star Ring's caution. Chenhui withdrew with his group, allowing Shi Feng to take the spoils.

• Mu Qingcheng and the Purple Shadow members watched Chenhui react warily to the approaching Shi Feng.

• The Purple Shadow Adventure Group gave Shi Feng the chance to open the Dark Gold treasure chest without objection.
• Shi Feng opened the unlocked chest, sending a multicolored pillar of light into the sky.

Shi Feng recognized the chest in the Illusion Forest as a Regional Treasure, whose unusual radiance drew powerful teams toward the Purple Shadow Adventure Group. After the chest opened, Shi Feng discovered a silver ancient book among its five items.

• The chest's enormous pillar of light attracted twenty-six teams, leaving Shenqiu Mingdong and Mu Qingcheng worried that the Purple Shadow Adventure Group could not escape with the treasure.

• Shi Feng identified the chest as a Regional Treasure that could contain an ancient book, a prize coveted by major powers.
• Shi Feng inspected the chest's five items and saw a silver ancient book inscribed with Divine Script.

• Shi Feng led the rested Purple Shadow Adventure Group toward the Bottomless Abyss.
• A powerful team arrived shortly afterward, learned that Shi Feng and the group had headed for the Bottomless Abyss, and pursued them.

Shi Feng led the Purple Shadow Adventure Group into the Bottomless Abyss, where the dungeon’s oppressive dark energy and powerful monsters quickly overwhelmed them. As a Level 62 Grand Lord attacked the healers, Shi Feng intervened and sent it crashing into a rock wall with one slash.

• Mu Qingcheng and the Purple Shadow Adventure Group were stunned by the Bottomless Abyss as Shi Feng urged them to descend while the black mist was relatively weak.
• Shenqiu Mingdong led the group into the abyss, where the dark energy weighed on their bodies even as dense mana refreshed their minds.
• Level 60 and 61 Black Demon Stone Apes ambushed the group, coordinated their attacks, and broke through the MTs’ defenses.
• A Level 62 Black Demon Great Stone Ape dropped behind the group, smashed a Berserker into the rock wall, and attacked the healers.
• Shi Feng appeared before the healers and slashed the Grand Lord, hurling it into the rock wall.

Shi Feng helped the Purple Shadow Adventure Group survive a prolonged fight with the Black Demon Stone Apes, demonstrating that he could suppress their powerful Grand Lord. After the group reached a safe maze-like cave on the Bottomless Abyss's first floor, Shi Feng left them to rest.

• The group fought while moving, defeating the Black Demon Stone Apes they attracted and improving their combat skills over more than five hours.
• The Purple Shadow Adventure Group collected plentiful Magic Crystals, equipment, and materials, and Shenqiu Mingdong recognized the Bottomless Abyss as a valuable training ground.
• Shi Feng led the exhausted group to an artificially constructed maze cave, told them it was safe to rest, and walked into the maze.
• The cave was the Bottomless Abyss's first floor and the only place where a Guild town could be relocated.

Shi Feng reached Hero Seb’s palace in the Bottomless Abyss and paid 6,000 Magic Crystal Stones to obtain a gemstone that could protect a residence from the darkness. Meanwhile, Shenqiu Mingdong decided to pursue an adventure group alliance’s training so his group could grow stronger.

• Shenqiu Mingdong and the others rested while Shi Feng escaped the dead spirit creatures, and Mu Qingcheng reflected on the gap between their strength and his.
• Shenqiu Mingdong proposed that the Purple Shadow Adventure Group join the Fire Dragon Empire’s adventure group alliance, and Mu Qingcheng and other experts agreed they wanted to catch up to Shi Feng.
• Shi Feng used Gale Domain to outrun the dead spirit creatures and reached an ancient palace after traveling through increasingly dangerous areas.
• Hero Seb tested Shi Feng with his aura and offered to establish a stable residence if Shi Feng provided 6,000 Magic Crystal Stones.
• Shi Feng handed Seb the stones, and Seb transformed them into a gemstone that could create a magic barrier against the darkness on that floor.

Shi Feng traveled to the Forest of the Dead to establish a Guild City near the route to the Bottomless Abyss’s second floor. After using the barrier gemstone to clear a vast area, he began relocating Stone Forest Town there.

• The system announced that Stone Forest Town would close and relocate, prompting players in town to complain and major powers to investigate its destination.
• Yuan Tiexin and Zi Qiong discussed whether Shi Feng could relocate Stone Forest Town into the Bottomless Abyss, and Yuan said the evidence made it likely.
• Zero Wing members speculated about the town’s destination and hoped it would help them overcome Star Ring’s blockade in neutral maps.
• After thirty minutes, Stone Forest Town reopened with a Level 60 entry requirement, and arriving Zero Wing members received a notification that they had discovered the Bottomless Abyss.

Stone Forest Town was revealed to be in the Bottomless Abyss, making Zero Wing a coveted partner for the major powers. As factions rushed to secure access, the chapter left Zero Wing poised to gain allies and Star Ring facing a difficult dilemma.

• Zero Wing members and the major powers learned that Stone Forest Town had been moved to the God Grade regional dungeon, the Bottomless Abyss, whose dense mana made it a valuable training ground.

• Yuan Tiexin told Zi Qiong to send their prepared members to Stone Forest Town and seize the opportunity to enter the Bottomless Abyss.
• Yuan Tiexin noted that the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s stake in Stone Forest Town gave it major advantages and left Star Ring unable to act freely against Zero Wing.
• Soul Heaven Silent ordered Immortal Battle Heart and Mu Lingsha to negotiate deep cooperation with Zero Wing, offering access to War Soul Unfallen’s commercial properties in exchange for a temporary residence in Stone Forest Town.
• Other superpowers began sending representatives to White River City to pursue cooperation with Zero Wing.

Star Ring and two powerful guilds set their sights on Zero Wing’s newly relocated Stone Forest Town in the Bottomless Abyss. As Star Ring mobilized its forces, Heavenly Dragon Manor and Proud Empire agreed to join forces and move against the town.

• Shi Feng entered the underground hall of Zero Wing's residence and merged the Gold-tier Town Promotion Order into the town's magic array.
• Shi Feng confirmed the promotion and began upgrading Stone Forest Town to a Basic City.

Shi Feng promoted Stone Forest Town to a Basic City, giving Zero Wing a second guild city in the Bottomless Abyss. As Heavenly Dragon Manor and Proud Empire learned of the promotion, their leaders ordered an immediate attack on Zero Wing before other superpowers could arrive.

• Zhan Baiya and Sheng Wuji ordered their guild members to attack Zero Wing quickly before other superpowers arrived.

Zi Qiong and Yuan Tiexin realized Heavenly Secrets Pavilion could not defend Stone Forest Town alone as superpowers converged on the newly upgraded city. Sheng Wuji and Zhan Baiya demanded most of its shares, but a cloaked man appeared and challenged them to consult Zero Wing first.

• Zi Qiong warned Yuan Tiexin that superpowers were mobilizing to seize Stone Forest Town, and Yuan agreed they needed allies to defend it.
• Zi Qiong reported that Sheng Wuji and Zhan Baiya were approaching with forces from Heavenly Dragon Manor and Proud Empire, and Yuan sent her to stall them while he went to see Black Flame.

• Sheng Wuji and Zhan Baiya proposed taking 30% of Stone Forest Town's shares each, leaving Heavenly Secrets Pavilion with 40%.
• A cloaked Swordsman emerged from the forest and asked Sheng Wuji and Zhan Baiya why they had not consulted Zero Wing about the shares.

Shi Feng rejected Sheng Wuji and Zhan Baiya’s demand to divide Stone Forest Town, prompting Proud Empire’s Heavenly Demon Group to surround him. As the group’s two top experts launched a coordinated attack, Shi Feng met their strikes head-on and sent them flying.

• Sheng Wuji offered Shi Feng and Zi Qiong a deal giving Heavenly Dragon Manor and Proud Empire 30% each of Stone Forest Town, with the remaining shares left to them.
• Shi Feng refused the offer and told Zhan Baiya that Proud Empire lacked the qualifications to take Stone Forest Town’s shares.
• Zhan Baiya ordered the Heavenly Demon Group to surround Shi Feng, while Sheng Wuji warned Zi Qiong not to intervene.
• The Heavenly Demon Group’s two top experts led a pincer attack on Shi Feng, with their teammates covering their defenses and blocking his escape.
• Shi Feng swung his twin swords to meet the two experts’ attacks and sent both flying, leaving their arms trembling and their bodies stiffened.

Stone Forest City’s promotion gave it formidable defenses, magnificent buildings, and a mana-enhanced training environment that astonished the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion and Zero Wing. As Shi Feng and the others assessed its advantages, Star Ring arrived with three Legendary Flame War Elephants led by Chenhui.

• Stone Forest City’s new walls and upgraded buildings amazed Zi Qiong, Feng Shui Yilao, and the other visitors.
