Chapter Summaries

Zero Wing City’s teleportation drew major guilds into negotiations, offering Zero Wing Guild equipment in exchange for discounted access. Shi Feng began making Conqueror’s Armor and used the Holy Grail to evolve the Black Iron Insignia, leaving the result uncertain.

• Water Rose showed Shi Feng cooperation proposals from three first-rate guilds and eleven second-rate guilds, and he required at least one-quarter of their teleportation fees to be paid in Magic Crystals.

• Shi Feng used the Holy Grail’s Power of Evolution, permanently sacrificing 1,000 HP to evolve the Black Iron Insignia.
• The Black Iron Insignia shone with dazzling golden light, and Shi Feng wondered whether the evolution had succeeded.

Shi Feng upgraded the Black Iron Insignia and began forging Conqueror's Armor as Heavenly Burial prepared to launch a major assault on Zero Wing. The chapter left Shi Feng watching his first Conqueror's Armor glow crimson, suggesting the Insignia's enhancement effect had triggered.

• Shi Feng enlisted Candlelight's blacksmiths to prepare materials, then began forging Conqueror's Armor with the help of Soul Water.
• Shi Feng completed the advanced magic array, and the armor shone crimson, making him suspect that its attributes had been enhanced.

Shi Feng forged ninety-six pieces of Conqueror’s Armor, including four enhanced versions, and gained experience rapidly. When Water Rose reported that Heavenly Burial and Blackwater were attacking Zero Wing’s teams, Shi Feng ordered the guild to concentrate on high-resource maps and requested one hundred Level 50-or-higher members of the Black God Legion.

• Sword Shadow received Aqua’s order to move Zero Wing members to four high-resource maps and send Black God Legion melee players to White River City.

• Shi Feng told the assembled experts that their mission was to destroy Heavenly Burial Guild.

Shi Feng equipped the Black God Legion with Conqueror's Armor and sent small teams to hunt Heavenly Burial and Blackwater players, using the new battle array as a secret weapon. After promising rewards for top kill counts, he went to Seliora's Blacksmith Workshop to repair the Ruin Armor.

• Shi Feng went to Seliora's Blacksmith Workshop in White River City to repair the Ruin Armor.

Shi Feng brought the Ruin Armor to Seliora, who explained that its leaking power of ruin would keep attracting orcs unless he gathered enough divine power to restore it. After divine crystals awakened the armor’s original power, Seliora offered to reforge it for him.

• Shi Feng visited Seliora and learned that the Ruin Armor’s power of ruin would continue drawing orcs, potentially even into cities.
• Shi Feng used one Advanced Divine Crystal and one ordinary Divine Crystal to clear more strange energy from the Ruin Armor.

• Shi Feng accepted the contract despite the permanent sacrifice of 200 points in all attributes, and his blood-red patterns awakened the Ruin Armor.
• Shi Feng completed the Ruin Reforging quest and received 20 Inheritance Skill Points, 100,000 Free Skill Proficiency Points, 100 Free Mastery Points, 50 Human Race Reputation Points, two levels, and the Ruin Messenger title.

Shi Feng spent his quest rewards on powerful skills and discovered the Ruin Messenger title and his bloodline’s growth benefits. Seliora explained that he could not yet equip the reforged Ruin Armor, and Shi Feng investigated the strange energy orb.

• Shi Feng rose to Level 63, gained 20 inheritance skill points and 100,000 free skill proficiency points, and learned Inferno Fivefold Slash.
• Shi Feng used his proficiency points to raise Inferno Fivefold Slash to Tier 2 Level 2 and Slash to Tier 1 Level 5.

• Seliora told Shi Feng that he needed to reach Tier 3 to equip the unstable Ruin Armor, though his Destruction Domain had grown stronger.
• Shi Feng put away the Ruin Armor and entered the mana-free zone around the pitch-black energy orb, where he felt heavy, weak, and mentally sluggish.

Shi Feng received the Crystal of Destruction from Seliora after she finished reforging the Ruin Armor, then learned from Feng Qianyu that Nine Dragons Emperor had allied with the Beast Emperor against Zero Wing. He began gathering Zero Wing’s trainees and internally trained members to strengthen the guild.

• Seliora explained that the Crystal of Destruction could destroy matter and souls, sealed it for Shi Feng, and left White River City to rest.
• Shi Feng inspected the sealed Crystal of Destruction and realized its 1,000-yard destructive radius made it dangerous to use except as a last resort.

While Heavenly Burial and Blackwater sealed off four high-resource maps to trap Zero Wing’s members, Duan Liushui’s group moved to attack a cloaked Zero Wing team.

• Shi Feng told Water Rose that he planned to take nearly seven hundred trained players to the Bone-Devouring Land, where they could level up and gather magic ore.
• Water Rose assembled Zero Wing’s trained members and the White Tiger trainees, and Shi Feng collected iron pickaxes before leading them through a Space Gate.
• Heavenly Burial Assassins saw the group disappear through the Space Gate and reported the passage to Yi Xiao Duzang.

• Heavenly Burial and Blackwater blocked Return Scrolls and searched the maps for Zero Wing members in groups of a hundred.
• Duan Liushui learned that a nearby six-person cloaked team was likely from Zero Wing and led his people toward them.

Duan Liushui and Heavenly Burial Guild surrounded six Zero Wing members, and Duan Liushui challenged their captain, Tong Hu, to a fight. Tong Hu activated the Basic Strength Battle Array and surprised Duan Liushui with a counterattack, leaving Duan Liushui demanding to know who he really was.

• Duan Liushui led over a hundred Heavenly Burial members in surrounding six Zero Wing players and ordered the others to stay back while he fought them.
• Tong Hu told his team that he would hold Duan Liushui off so they could attack, even if they hit him too.
• Duan Liushui lunged at Tong Hu and used Three Shadows Interception to strike at his back.
• Tong Hu activated the Basic Strength Battle Array, dodged all three blade lights, and countered Duan Liushui with a greatsword strike that forced him back.
• Duan Liushui realized Tong Hu was no ordinary expert and demanded that he reveal his identity.

Tong Hu and four allies used the Basic Strength Battle Array to overwhelm Duan Liushui, leaving Heavenly Burial's forces stunned. After Duan Liushui ordered his guildmates to attack, Zero Wing activated the Power of Darkness and killed him before his healers could reach him.

• Duan Liushui demanded to know who Tong Hu was, but four members of Tong Hu's team attacked and forced him into a coordinated defense.
• The four besiegers steadily drove Duan Liushui back, while Tong Hu watched and helped them cover his blind spots.
• Duan Liushui realized that all five Zero Wing members were Subtle Realm experts, and Tong Hu's group recognized the battle array's powerful effect on their attributes and coordination.
• With his HP reduced to one-third, Duan Liushui ordered Heavenly Burial's members to attack and activated a burst skill to escape.
• Tong Hu and the others activated the Power of Darkness, broke Duan Liushui's stance, and killed him with a coordinated attack before his healers arrived.

Tong Hu and four Zero Wing members used War to annihilate Heavenly Burial’s hundred-man team, while battles across the high-resource maps left Yi Xiao Duzang stunned by Heavenly Burial’s unexpectedly high casualties. The hunt continued as both guilds’ losses mounted.

• Tong Hu and the other four Zero Wing members overwhelmed Duan Liushui’s Heavenly Burial team, killing its members without suffering injuries.

• Yi Xiao Duzang froze at the casualty figures and demanded that Misty Glow explain what had happened.

Heavenly Burial’s leader Yi Xiao Duzang learned that Zero Wing had inflicted heavy casualties on his guild and that its expert teams were being overwhelmed by newly revealed Subtle Realm fighters. Reports from across the battlefield left him facing the possibility that Zero Wing had at least ten such experts.

• More Heavenly Burial team leaders reported similar encounters, revealing that Zero Wing had fielded multiple teams containing five Subtle Realm experts each.

Yi Xiao Duzang ordered Heavenly Burial Guild and Blackwater to retreat after Zero Wing revealed more than a hundred Subtle Realm experts, while Yuan Tiexin learned that no outside power had supplied them. The chapter left Yuan Tiexin stunned by evidence that the experts had all originally belonged to Zero Wing Guild.

• After reviewing the battle footage, Yi Xiao Duzang ordered Heavenly Burial Guild's teams to retreat and investigate who was helping Zero Wing Guild.
• Heavenly Burial and Blackwater withdrew from the high-level resource maps, and news of their retreat confused players and powers across the Star-Moon Kingdom.
• Zi Qiong told Yuan Tiexin that Heavenly Burial had lost nearly a thousand experts and that Zero Wing had fielded a hundred Subtle Realm experts.
• Yuan Tiexin asked whether Feng Qianyu had helped Zero Wing, but Zi Qiong said no one on Feng Qianyu's side had joined the battle.
• Zi Qiong reported that image records confirmed all the Subtle Realm experts had originally been members of Zero Wing Guild, leaving Yuan Tiexin incredulous.

Zero Wing’s Black God Legion revealed strength that shocked the major powers of God’s Domain and forced Heavenly Burial and Blackwater to withdraw. Water Rose told Shi Feng that the Black God members had become strong enough to rival Subtle Realm experts, and asked how he had done it.

• Zi Qiong confirmed to Yuan Tiexin that Zero Wing had more than a hundred Subtle Realm experts, prompting him to order an investigation into the Guild’s backing.

• Water Rose told Shi Feng that the Black God members had surged in combat power and asked what had made them so strong.

Shi Feng revealed that the Black God Squad’s Conqueror’s Armor gave its members combat abilities comparable to Micro Realm experts, though rare materials limited how many more he could make. With Heavenly Burial’s forces withdrawn but the bounty still active, he sent Water Rose and the squad to the Beastman Empire to hunt Heavenly Burial in return.

• Shi Feng showed Water Rose the Conqueror’s Armor and explained that he had crafted the hundred suits for the Black God Squad.
• Water Rose realized the armor’s battle-array effect greatly improved its wearers’ combat ability, while Shi Feng warned that the guild had exhausted its rare materials.
• Water Rose asked how Zero Wing should respond to the continuing bounty after Heavenly Burial withdrew from the fight.
• Shi Feng ordered Water Rose, Fire Dance, and the Black God Squad to go to the Beastman Empire and hunt Heavenly Burial’s players.
• Water Rose eagerly agreed to notify Fire Dance and the others.

Shi Feng raised Zero Wing’s bounty on Heavenly Burial Guild, provoking widespread attacks and escalating the costly conflict between the guilds. He then led Zero Wing members and White Tiger Martial Arts School students to Bone-Devouring Land, where he discovered a town that should not have existed.

• Shi Feng told Melancholy Smile to double Zero Wing’s bounty on Heavenly Burial Guild members and said he would cover the payouts with equipment and other resources.
• Players across Star-Moon Kingdom reacted to the bounty by praising Zero Wing and organizing parties to hunt Heavenly Burial.

• Yi Xiao Duzang vowed to raise Heavenly Burial’s bounties and endure the financial contest with Zero Wing.
• Shi Feng brought Zero Wing’s internally trained members and White Tiger Martial Arts School students to Bone-Devouring Land, where he spotted a human-style town through the dark fog.

Shi Feng led his team through the Bone-Devouring Land to investigate a mysterious town guarded by thousands of demons. He discovered that the place was a demon mine where demonkin hauled rare magic ore from a massive cave.

• Shi Feng explained why the Bone-Devouring Land drained players’ Stamina and Mental Strength and why he had come seeking magic ore.
• A Ranger reported more than a thousand monsters near the town, but Shi Feng decided to approach and investigate.
• Shi Feng’s team saw the demons guarding the town, including three-headed Hellhounds and a gigantic Inferno Serpent.
• Shi Feng realized the town was a demon mine, with demonkin carrying rare ores out of a huge cave at its center.

Shi Feng discovered that Bone-Devouring Land held a valuable ancient bronze mine and decided to clear the monsters around the town so Zero Wing could eventually claim it. Using the Book of Darkness, he took control of the patrol’s Three-Headed Hellhounds and led the group to a swift, high-experience victory.

• Shi Feng recognized the town’s demon mine as a medium-sized ancient bronze vein whose Evergold Ore could bring great profits.
• When a monster patrol approached, Shi Feng told Zero Wing to stay and level up, intending to clear the town’s outskirts before attempting to take the mine.
• Shi Feng summoned a Level 78 Battleaxe Demon and used Demon Sovereign repeatedly on the patrol’s Three-Headed Hellhound leader.
• On his sixth attempt, Shi Feng controlled the Three-Headed Hellhounds, strengthening them and turning the fight in the group’s favor.
• Shi Feng and the Zero Wing members wiped out the patrol in less than an hour, earning abundant experience and leveling several players.
