• Shi Feng praised Water Rose for rejecting Blackwater’s proposal and ordered Zero Wing to monitor its enemies and speed up players’ Tier 2 promotions.

Shi Feng navigated the deadly traps and Lizardman patrols in the thirtieth Gods and Demons Hall, then discovered a Golden Secret Heritage Stone Tablet as its guardian prepared to teleport it away. He activated Forbidden Domain to stop the teleportation, leaving the outcome uncertain.

• Shi Feng used the Wind Halo to slip past patrolling Lizardmen and entered a cave filled with lethal Tier 3 magical traps.
• Shi Feng fought his way through the trapped corridors for more than two hours and reached an altar guarded by hundreds of Lizardmen, including a Level 60 High Lord Domain Lord.

• Shi Feng realized the Chieftain was preparing to teleport the Golden Tablet away and rushed to interrupt it.
• Shi Feng activated the Time Halo's Forbidden Domain as the spacetime Teleportation Magic Array was about to activate.

• Shi Feng applied Abyssal Curse, Destruction Domain, and World Projection to reduce the chieftain’s attributes to 45% of their original values.

• Shi Feng cleared halls through the thirty-fifth and entered the thirty-sixth, leaving Skyhawk astonished by the rankings.

• Shi Feng compared the bloodlines and learned from the female demon NPC that his Chosen One ranking entitled him to a ten-percent discount.
• Shi Feng exchanged 135,000 Gods and Demons Hall Points and one Great Achievement for the Dark Iron Bloodline.
• Shi Feng used his remaining points and discount to obtain the cheapest Divine Crystal, drawing the attention of the other players in the hall.
• As Shi Feng headed for the exit, Skyhawk of the Flower of Seven Sins asked him to transfer the Dark Iron Bloodline to the guild.

• Shi Feng rejected Skyhawk’s offer and left the Gods and Demons Hall rather than trade away his unique bloodline.
• Skyhawk learned that Shi Feng was heading to World Peak and ordered his companions to prepare an attack there after using a tracking scroll on him.
• Shi Feng reached World Peak and used the Divine Crystal to fuse divine power into the Ruin Armor.
• World Peak’s power destroyed the armor’s corrosive energy, and the Ruin Armor’s power and attributes improved.

• Shi Feng put away the Demon King's Horn and headed toward World Peak's Epic region as news of his victory spread to the superpowers.

Yuan Tiexin learned that an unknown player had killed Skyhawk and two companions, prompting major superpowers to investigate the mysterious expert. Unaware of the attention, Shi Feng entered an Epic Equipment temple on World Peak and chose a trial against a powerful Ancient Human Temple Knight.

• Shi Feng selected a statue holding a damaged item, summoning a Level 100 Tier 4 Ancient Human Temple Knight to challenge him.

• Shi Feng chose the combat-standards trial against the Tier 4 Temple Knight, who was reduced to a Tier 2 Sword Master with matching attributes and forbidden skills and items.

• Shi Feng realized he lacked the advanced offensive techniques needed to overcome the Temple Knight and considered giving up.
• Shi Feng noticed the Dark Iron Bloodline was usable, drank it, and sought to improve his stamina, mental strength, and neural reaction speed.

Zero Wing raised its bounty against Heavenly Burial despite its dwindling funds, while Yi Xiao Duzang counted on Blackwater’s backing and a nearby Magic Iron Ore Vein to secure victory. Shi Feng revealed a vast stock of Moon Spirit Flowers for Candlelight Trading Firm to turn into potions and sell to support Water Rose, while he prepared to craft Conqueror’s Armor.
