Chapter Summaries

Shi Feng sold Omnipotent Magic Armor and Elven Silver to Feng Qianyu and Immortal Battle Heart, earning Magic Crystals and Gold Coins. As they prepared to leave, he revealed Level 55 standardized Dark-Gold weapons as the next items up for bidding.

• Mu Lingsha worried that War Soul Unfallen would waste scarce Magic Crystals if Zero Wing's items failed to work in the Dark Nether Wasteland.
• Feng Qianyu reassured Azure Phoenix that War Soul Unfallen needed the items to explore harsh maps and secure resources.
• Shi Feng arrived at Candlelight Trading Firm's reception room and offered the agreed quantities of Omnipotent Magic Armor and Elven Silver, plus extra stock for bidding.
• Feng Qianyu and Immortal Battle Heart paid 120,000 Magic Crystals for their agreed purchases, then bid on the remaining items, with Feng Qianyu buying most of them.
• Shi Feng earned more than 20,000 Gold Coins from the extra stock and revealed Level 55 standardized Dark-Gold weapons as the day's main course.

Shi Feng revealed that Zero Wing could supply more than a hundred Level 55 Dark Gold weapons and offered Feng Qianyu and Immortal Battle Heart the chance to bid for them with rare materials. Both guild leaders accepted his terms, and the bidding began.

• Shi Feng placed ten Level 55 Dark Gold weapons on the table and said he had enough to equip three hundred-man teams.
• Feng Qianyu, Immortal Battle Heart, and Mu Lingsha reacted with surprise at the scale of Zero Wing’s supply.
• Shi Feng set the bidding terms: each set of forty weapons required a bid backed by three hundred portions of listed materials, with payment in Magic Crystals or Gold Coins.
• Feng Qianyu and Immortal Battle Heart agreed to the terms, and Shi Feng began the bidding.

Shi Feng sold batches of Level 55 Dark Gold weapons to Feng Qianyu and Immortal Battle Heart, earning Zero Wing a fortune and preparing to forge the remaining weapons. He then gathered the main force team for a trip to Flame Demon Valley and began advancing Kele’s Titan Guard with Magic Crystals.

• Feng Qianyu and Immortal Battle Heart competed for the standardized weapons, purchasing the three batches for a total of 124,000 gold and 900 portions of materials.
• After the guilds delivered 270 portions of materials upfront, Shi Feng, Melancholy Smile, and Shuang Keke forged 114 weapons, bringing the total stock to 120.
• Shi Feng left the remaining transaction work to Melancholy Smile and told Water Rose to assemble twenty main force members for a trip to Flame Demon Valley.
• Water Rose gathered Kele, Fire Dance, Zi Yan Liu Yun, and other members, whose Arena achievements had earned Fire Dance recognition in the Fengyun Experts Ranking.
• Shi Feng told Kele he would improve his equipment, took Titan Guard, and selected its advancement option.

Shi Feng upgraded Titan Guard into a Fragmented Legendary shield and prepared Zero Wing’s experts to enter Flame Demon Valley for training and a mission. At the valley entrance, they discovered guild members Siyu Qingxuan and Green Bamboo fighting a Level 72 Boss, and Shi Feng decided to approach them.

• Shi Feng promoted Titan Guard, revealing its powerful attributes and hidden effects, including greatly reduced weight and potent defensive skills.
• Kele tested the upgraded shield and asked to fight a Legendary Boss, while Shi Feng said it would be tested later.
• Shi Feng outfitted the group with fire-resistant gear and potions, then warned them to follow his steps inside Flame Demon Valley.
• Water Rose explained the danger of the Level 70-and-above forbidden land, but Shi Feng led the group there after several hours of travel.
• North Wind Low-Key spotted players fighting a Level 72 Boss near the valley, and Shi Feng recognized them as Zero Wing members Siyu Qingxuan and Green Bamboo.
• Shi Feng chose to approach Siyu Qingxuan and Green Bamboo despite the risks of meeting players in the field.

Shi Feng and his companions watched Siyu Qingxuan and a group of neutral-race players defeat a Level 72 Flame Demon Commander. The half-elf Elementalist detected the hidden onlookers and demanded that they reveal themselves.

• Shi Feng led his group to cover near Siyu Qingxuan's team, where Water Rose recognized Siyu Qingxuan holding off three Flame Demon Guards.
• Shi Feng explained that players could become half-beastmen or half-elves through conversion quests, gaining racial abilities while giving up human protections and facing advancement difficulties.
• The half-elf female Elementalist ordered the melee fighters to retreat from the Flame Demon Commander's ultimate, then froze its lava with the Tier 2 forbidden spell Glacier.
• Siyu Qingxuan's team defeated the Flame Demon Commander after battling its miniature copies, leaving five items and flaming remains.
• The half-elf female Elementalist spotted Shi Feng's group behind the rocks and demanded that they come out.

Shi Feng and Zero Wing confronted Qin Yin’s Ninth Heaven team in Flame Demon Valley, where both groups were pursuing important objectives. Shi Feng demonstrated overwhelming strength and entered the valley, leaving Qin Yin’s team stunned and barred from following for the time being.

• Shi Feng decided to approach the team after the half-elf Elementalist detected Zero Wing’s group.
• Qin Yin’s team recognized Zero Wing’s emblems and accused Siyu Qingxuan and Green Bamboo of leaking their secret mission, but Qin Yin believed their denial.
• Shi Feng announced that Zero Wing had business in Flame Demon Valley and ordered Qin Yin’s team to wait outside.
• When Qin Yin demanded an explanation, Shi Feng refused and struck three Level 70 Flame Demon Guards from over sixty yards away without harming Siyu Qingxuan.
• Shi Feng led Zero Wing into Flame Demon Valley while Qin Yin’s team remained stunned.

Shi Feng led Zero Wing through Flame Demon Valley after his display of strength caused Ninth Heaven to abandon any plans of confronting the guild. At the valley’s core, Fire Dance discovered a mineral vein.

• Shi Feng’s sword strike intimidated Qin Yin and the Ninth Heaven team, who decided to wait outside Flame Demon Valley rather than challenge Zero Wing.
• Qin Yin reasoned that Zero Wing had spared them because Siyu Qingxuan and Green Bamboo were members, and the team grew grateful to the pair.
• A Ninth Heaven Berserker suggested building ties with Zero Wing, and Qin Yin agreed to ask Siyu Qingxuan and Green Bamboo about cooperation.
• Shi Feng led Zero Wing toward the valley’s core, where the team fought Flame Demons and collected fire-element materials and Flame Crystals.
• After reaching the core region, Shi Feng contacted Siyu Qingxuan and told them they could enter the valley.
• Fire Dance reported that she had found a mineral vein.

Fire Dance discovered a Source Fire Vein in Flame Demon Valley, but a Level 80 Legendary Lava Hound and the surrounding lava creatures made it too dangerous for Zero Wing to claim. After inspecting the area, Shi Feng suggested that mining might still be possible without building an outpost.

• Fire Dance told Shi Feng that she had found a Source Fire Vein, and Shi Feng led the team to her coordinates.
• Shi Feng and the team found the vein exposed in a canyon guarded by a Level 80 Legendary Lava Hound.
• Water Rose explained that the monsters, harsh environment, and risks to equipment made mining or establishing an outpost seem impossible.
• Shi Feng considered the value of the Source Fire Ore and its Fire Source Crystal byproducts, then said mining might be possible even if an outpost could not be built.

Shi Feng led Zero Wing in a plan to weaken Flame Demon Valley’s lava monsters so they could reach a Source Fire Vein. After the Weather Tome brought rain and Kele held off the Lava Hound, Shi Feng entered a mine tunnel and triggered system notifications heard by everyone.

• Shi Feng said the Guild had a twenty to thirty percent chance of mining the Source Fire Vein and assigned Water Rose’s group to use ice and water spells while Kele and the others drew off the monsters.
• Water Rose and the Elementalists unleashed large-scale spells, but their water and ice could not overcome the canyon’s flowing lava.
• Shi Feng used the Weather Tome to summon a downpour that drenched and slowed the lava monsters.
• The Lava Hound charged at Shi Feng, but Kele blocked its claws with Titan Guard and barely took damage.
• Shi Feng activated Gale Domain, flew into the canyon, and entered a mine tunnel, where system notifications sounded for everyone.

Shi Feng discovered that the Source Fire Vein concealed the entrance to Fire God's Ancient Land and began building a teleportation coordinate for Zero Wing. As three berserk Lava Demon Hounds reached him in the cave, they attacked while he was still bound by the array's progress.

• The system announced that Shi Feng had discovered Fire God's Ancient Land and that the Underground Kingdom would open to players in ten days.
• Shi Feng began constructing a Magic Teleportation Array coordinate inside the Source Fire Vein so Zero Wing could reach Flame Demon Valley directly.
• Qin Yin and Ninth Heaven heard the announcement and realized Zero Wing had triggered the new expansion.
• The magic array drained mana from the cave, causing the Lava Demon Hound to go berserk and charge toward Shi Feng.
• The Lava Demon Hound split into three Level 80 Legendary monsters, which entered the cave as Shi Feng's array reached 90%.
• The three Lava Demon Hounds called Shi Feng a mortal who had violated a taboo and fired scorching beams at him.

Shi Feng was trapped in a cave by three powerful Lava Hounds that sealed off his escape and overwhelmed him despite his strongest skills. With his health falling and his burst abilities nearly spent, he drew the Evil God's Legacy and poured his power into it.

• Shi Feng survived the split Lava Hounds' fire with Absolute Domain, but they used Spatial Lockdown to block his escape.
• Shi Feng activated Heavenly Dragon's Power and Divine Shadow Step, using clones to evade the Lava Hounds while trying to reach the cave entrance.
• The Lava Hounds coordinated their attacks and drove Shi Feng back, draining his health despite his attempts to block and evade them.
• Water Rose waited outside while Fire Dance and Flying Shadow went back toward the canyon to check on Shi Feng.
• As his dual burst wore off and the Lava Hounds closed in, Shi Feng took out the Evil God's Legacy and infused it with his power, unleashing a deathly aura throughout the cave.

Shi Feng used the Evil God's Sword to weaken the Lava Hounds and strengthen himself, then escaped the cavern into a canyon surrounded by lava monsters. He unleashed the sword's Godslaying skill, devastating the monsters around him.

• The Lava Hounds attacked Shi Feng with crimson-gold flames, but the Evil God's Sword weakened them and absorbed their power when he blocked their strikes.
• Shi Feng discovered that the sword increased his Strength and Fire Resistance for ten seconds after absorbing an attack.
• Shi Feng overpowered the Lava Hounds long enough to escape the cavern and reach the canyon, where more than a thousand lava monsters surrounded him.
• Fire Dance prepared to rescue Shi Feng while Flying Shadow warned her that the situation was dangerous.
• Shi Feng swung the Evil God's Sword and unleashed Godslaying, turning Chieftain- and Lord-ranked lava monsters into crumbling gray fossils and immobilizing the others.

Shi Feng used the Evil God's Sword to escape the Lava Hounds, earning the Fire God's hatred but securing a teleportation coordinate in the Fire God's Ancient Land. He led the Zero Wing members deeper into Flame Demon Valley and found a Flame Demon Crown inside an Adamantite Chest.

• Shi Feng's Evil God's Sword absorbed enough Life Force to unseal its first rune, but he decided to save it as a last resort because using it permanently cost him ten points in all attributes.
• Shi Feng fought off three Level 80 Lava Hounds and escaped their territory, then learned that the Fire God's Guardians would pursue him whenever he entered the Fire God's Lands.
• Shi Feng reunited with the Zero Wing members, explained the danger and mining requirements to Water Rose, and led the group toward Flame Demon Valley's center.
• Shi Feng and the group explored the core region for over four hours, gained levels, and found six treasure chests, including an Adamantite Chest.
• Shi Feng opened the Adamantite Chest and discovered a Flame Demon Crown.

Shi Feng opened an Adamantite Grade Treasure Chest and obtained the Flame Demon Crown, whose exceptional Fire Resistance and immunity to Scorching effects made it far more valuable than the group realized. After leading Zero Wing to the Flame Mountains, he discovered that the Level 83 Flame Demon King was an Ancient Demon rather than the Primordial Species he had expected.

• Shi Feng revealed the Flame Demon Crown, and the others dismissed it because it offered little Defense or basic attributes.
• Shi Feng explained the crown's rare Fire Resistance and Scorching immunity, then equipped the group and continued toward the Flame Mountains.
• Shi Feng and the others reached the blazing mountain range and spotted the Flame Demon King within its flames.
• The group saw the Flame Demon King's status as a Level 83 Legendary Ancient Demon with 720,000,000 HP, and Shi Feng was shocked that it was not a Primordial Species.

Shi Feng led his team in trying to lure the Flame Demon King away from the World Gate while he repaired its magic array. The Flame Demon King killed the team, but Shi Feng completed the repairs and activated the gate as the chapter ended.

• Shi Feng ordered the team to sacrifice themselves to draw the Flame Demon King away while Zi Yan Liu Yun waited to revive them.
• Kele provoked the Flame Demon King Monai Klan and endured its devastating attacks as he led it away from the sea of fire.
• Shi Feng used the Flame Demon Crown to cross the sea of fire and reached the World Gate while Kele and Turtledove were killed.
• Shi Feng began repairing the World Gate with Sage's Hand as the Flame Demon King killed the rest of the team and pursued him.
• Shi Feng blocked the Flame Demon King's trident with Earth Halo's Absolute Domain, finished the repairs, and commanded the World Gate to open.

Shi Feng opened the World Gate, which drained the Flame Demon King of its accumulated power and sent the higher-plane flames back. After claiming the Sage’s Hand and quest rewards, Shi Feng seized the chance to defeat the weakened Legendary boss.

• The World Gate opened, pulled the Flame Demon King’s power and the flames from the Flame Mountains away, and transformed the Sage’s Hand into a blood-red pearl.
• Shi Feng completed the Epic Main Story Quest “Sage’s Wish” before Level 80 and received the Sage’s Hand, experience, skill and mastery points, subclass proficiency, and a Dark Gold Grade Subclass Design.
• The World Gate closed, leaving the Flame Demon King weakened and afflicted with Mana Exhaustion, so Shi Feng abandoned his plan to flee.
• Shi Feng and his Black Dragon attacked the weakened Flame Demon King, reducing its HP until the Black Dragon’s duration was nearly over.
• Shi Feng used the Evil God’s Sword and Godslaying to kill the Flame Demon King.

After killing the Flame Demon King, Shi Feng collected its abundant loot, including the four-star Guild Promotion Order that could help Zero Wing expand beyond its home region. He then inspected the fully restored Sage's Hand, whose attributes remained unknown.

• Shi Feng killed the Flame Demon King and considered how advancing Zero Wing to a four-star Guild could help it compete with superpowers.
• Shi Feng found a four-star Guild Promotion Order among the Boss's drops, along with rare materials, powerful Level 70 sets, and Epic Equipment.
• Shi Feng recognized the potential of the Scorchwind and Sin of Thunderflame sets and the Hand of Scorching Flame for Zero Wing's members.
• Shi Feng took out the restored Sage's Hand and inspected its attributes.

Shi Feng examined the Sage's Hand and realized its powerful crafting abilities would make it difficult to distribute safely among Candlelight Trading Firm's lifestyle players. After confirming his quest was complete, he revealed a massive Flame Core to his companions, prompting them to suspect he had killed the Flame Demon King.

• Shi Feng inspected the Sage's Hand and learned that it raised lifestyle class levels and offered powerful crafting skills.
• Shi Feng worried that choosing users for the Sage's Hand could expose its secret and make Zero Wing a target of major superpowers.
• Shi Feng left the scorched mountain range and reassured Water Rose that he had completed the quest.
• Water Rose and the others questioned how Shi Feng had escaped the Flame Demon King, and he said he had struck first and killed it.
• Shi Feng showed the group an enormous Flame Core, and Water Rose asked in disbelief whether he had killed the Flame Demon King.

Shi Feng returned to White River City with his team after killing the weakened Flame Demon King and began preparing to mine the Source Fire Vein and advance Zero Wing’s Guild rank. When Blackwater Guild captured Red Flame Fortress and offered rewards for killing Zero Wing members, Shi Feng refused to retreat and announced that Zero Wing would establish its own points system, promising a surprise.

• Shi Feng explained that he had killed the weakened Flame Demon King, then asked Kele and Half-Summer Allure about their levels and planned to take them leveling so they could use the newly acquired equipment sets.
• The group used Return Scrolls to travel back to White River City, where Shi Feng tasked Water Rose with organizing trusted miners and Melancholy Smile with selecting Candlelight Trading Firm members to protect the secret of Sage’s Hand.
• Bai Qingxue told Shi Feng that Blackwater Guild had captured Red Flame Fortress and was offering rewards and core-member benefits to players who killed Zero Wing members.
• Shi Feng rejected Bai Qingxue’s suggestion to limit Zero Wing’s activity in the Beastman Empire and ordered her to announce a matching points system, saying he would soon surprise Blackwater Guild.
• Shi Feng arrived at the Adventurers’ Association to handle Zero Wing’s advancement to a four-star Guild.

Shi Feng sought to promote Zero Wing to a four-star guild as Blackwater declared all-out war and forces prepared to target Zero Wing in the Beastman Empire. The chapter ended with Shi Feng presenting the promotion order to an Adventurers' Association steward.

• Duan Tianhu ordered Dark Soul's adventure groups to send their elites to the Beastman Empire and personally assigned Mo Wudao to lead them against Zero Wing.
• Shi Feng heard players discussing Blackwater's capture of Red Flame Fortress and recognized that Blackwater had quickly publicized the news to build momentum.
• Feng Qianyu offered help, and Shi Feng asked her to keep the Nine Dragons Emperor occupied while declining her offer to send Azure Phoenix's forces.
• Feng Qianyu told Azure Phoenix to prepare for other matters, expecting Zero Wing might not withstand Blackwater for long.
• Shi Feng presented a four-star guild promotion order to an Adventurers' Association senior steward and requested that Zero Wing be promoted.
