Chapter Summaries

Xu Wuyi took command of the Third Star Realm Outpost, refined its defenses, and cultivated beside the Spatial Rift while Jiang Muzhou questioned how he had reached Divine Intent so quickly. On the twenty-eighth day, a rapidly intensifying spatial disturbance near the outpost was identified as possibly caused by a Wandering Star Realm.

• Xu Wuyi arrived at Abysswatch City, where deputy commander Zhao Beifeng introduced the outpost and its defenses.
• Xu Wuyi began cultivating in seclusion beside the Spatial Rift and spent three days optimizing his body after his Divine Intent breakthrough.
• Jiang Muzhou visited Xu Wuyi, asked how he had advanced so quickly, and vowed to catch up after hearing Xu Wuyi describe optimizing every cell in his body twice.
• Xu Wuyi learned the outpost's defenses, found a blind spot between two sentry posts, and proposed adjustments that Zhao Beifeng successfully simulated.
• Xu Wuyi approved Jiang Muzhou's request for extra spatial crystals as Jiang Muzhou continued advancing toward Divine Intent.
• An emergency alert reported a spatial disturbance southeast of the outpost, and Jiang Muzhou identified its rising energy pattern as evidence of a nearby Wandering Star Realm.

Jiang Muzhou and Xu Wuyi worked to protect Abysswatch City from a passing wandering Star Realm by weakening its spatial radiation and recalibrating the outpost’s energy circulation. When a high-rank Beast King approached during the dangerous adjustment, Xu Wuyi went out alone and began overpowering it with bare fists.

• Jiang Muzhou identified that the wandering Star Realm would pass southeast of the outpost, while Xu Wuyi and Zhao Beifeng warned that its radiation could resonate with Abysswatch City’s energy core.
• Jiang Muzhou weakened the spatial pressure as Xu Wuyi directed Zhao Beifeng to raise the circulation’s secondary frequency and divert power to the core.
• As Xu Wuyi and Jiang Muzhou maintained the calibration, the wandering Star Realm’s trajectory fluctuated, the core’s pressure briefly surged, and Anna detected a high-rank Beast King approaching from the southeast.
• Xu Wuyi left the command area to confront the Beast King while Zhao Beifeng and Jiang Muzhou continued protecting the outpost.
• Xu Wuyi interrupted the Beast King’s energy breath with a punch and battered it with successive strikes, while its attacks failed to injure him.
• Zhao Beifeng and the officers watched the fight on surveillance footage and were astonished by Xu Wuyi’s direct, precise fist fighting.

Xu Wuyi left Abysswatch City after helping stabilize the Third Star Realm Outpost and returned to Xingjing to prepare for the operation against Bloodwing. The chapter ended with the Federation finalizing its plan to use Yang Shuyan as bait, while Xu Wuyi waited to strike Bloodwing at G-7.

• Jiang Muzhou watched Xu Wuyi defeat a high-level Beast King and resolved to catch up to him through cultivation.
• Xu Wuyi let the badly injured Beast King escape, returned to the outpost, and learned that the Wandering Star Realm's energy cycle had been stabilized.
• After a month and a half at Abysswatch City, Xu Wuyi completed a third round of bodily optimization and received orders to return to the Federation for the Bloodwing operation.
• Feng Zhuohua briefed Xu Wuyi on the plan to lure Bloodwing to the G-7 region, where Yang Shuyan would draw him out and Xu Wuyi would attack from nearby.
• At the Military Department's final simulation, the Federation leaders approved the plan for the following morning.
• Xu Wuyi offered to take Yang Shuyan's place, but she explained that Bloodwing would be more likely to attack her and promised she could survive until Xu Wuyi arrived.

Yang Shuyan lured Bloodwing into a canyon and endured his attacks while Xu Wuyi killed Bloodwing’s six King-Rank guards and arrived to face him. Xu Wuyi and Bloodwing exchanged powerful blows, and Bloodwing used Blood Sacrifice as he realized killing Xu Wuyi might cost him his life.

• Yang Shuyan entered Sector G-7 alone, drew Bloodwing and his guard into pursuit, and led Bloodwing into the designated canyon.

• Xu Wuyi withstood Bloodwing’s saber and Blood Blades, then drove him back with powerful punches.
• Bloodwing activated Blood Sacrifice and clashed with Xu Wuyi again, realizing he might have to risk his own life to kill him.

Xu Wuyi killed Bloodwing after defeating six Feathered Human Kings, and the Federation began a northern counteroffensive while concealing Xu Wuyi’s identity. The Feathered Humans ordered a counteroffensive and an investigation into him, while the Dawn Empire learned who killed Bloodwing and Xiao Chuyun asked to see Xu Wuyi’s battle records.

After Xu Wuyi’s victory over Bloodwing helped the Federation reclaim ground on the northern front, Shen Jin revealed that civilizations across the Astral Battlefield called the realm beyond Grandmaster the Celestial Being realm. Xu Wuyi learned that reaching it required making the body the source of laws, and realized Grandmaster Yue Lianshan had created the Hundred Refinements Furnace to prepare for one possible path.

• The Dawn Empire watched footage of Xu Wuyi killing six Feathered Human Kings and defeating Bloodwing, while Xiao Chuyun resolved to pursue Divine Intent.

Xu Wuyi learned that his body had brought him close to an unprecedented path toward the Celestial Being Realm, then trained to refine his power and investigated Star Realm Summoning as a possible breakthrough opportunity. After becoming a temporary member of the Supreme Council, he began studying Federation policy and saw how its systems and competing interests shaped order.

• Shen Jin explained that Xu Wuyi’s body had followed the orthodox path toward the Celestial Being Realm and said his foundation still needed time to manifest.

• Xu Wuyi received notice that he had become a temporary Supreme Council member and began studying policy proposals, viewing the Federation’s institutions and decisions through the logic of order.

Xu Wuyi responded to a Beast King Tier rift in Linjiang, where he killed six Beast Kings and helped contain the threat. Two months later, after noticing that his body tempering gains had slowed, he began taking apart his Qin method and planned to redesign its Order Force cycle.

• Xu Wuyi reviewed the Federation's outpost expenditure reports, flagged a suspicious drop in Purple Origin Fruit yields, and recommended an in-person inspection.
• Xu Wuyi rushed to the eastern outskirts of Linjiang and killed three Beast Kings, then traveled north and killed two more while Qiao Tongyu's forces cleared the ordinary Star Beasts.
• Xu Wuyi helped Qiao Tongyu recover, and the rift weakened after its high-level Star Beasts were eliminated.
• Over the next two months, Xu Wuyi stabilized his Divine Intent realm but realized the Qin Body Tempering Method was producing smaller gains as his physical strength increased.
• Xu Wuyi studied his cultivation notes, broke Qin into its cycle, iron law, and accumulation rules, and identified inefficiencies in the route taken by Order Force.

Xu Wuyi spent a year refining his body-tempering rules while the Federation's Divine Intent Grandmasters fought on the fronts. As the Star Realm Summons approached, the Federation's leaders convened to discuss the outposts’ synchronized energy contractions and a proposal to attack the Bearfolk Clan.

• Xu Wuyi redesigned his circulation route, strengthened his power of Order, and doubled the reward from his iron law of diligence, then steadily increased his training and refined its rules over the following year.
• After receiving Liu Yunshan's encrypted message, Xu Wuyi joined the Divine Intent Grandmasters at a Battle Net meeting, where Liu Yunshan reported unusual energy contractions at all four Federation Star Realm outposts.
• Lu Shaoyuan explained that the contractions signaled the Star Realm Summons, likely to begin within three months and with unprecedented intensity, while Shen Jin and Lin Jianyi reported rising energy across the northern and southern fronts.
• The Grandmasters discussed striking enemy forces before the summons; Lu Shaoyuan assigned purges across the fronts and told Xu Wuyi that the Dawn Empire had proposed a joint attack on the Bearfolk Clan.

The Federation and Dawn Empire finalized a joint plan to attack the Bearfolk Clan’s Star Realm Outpost and rendezvoused aboard the Empire’s flagship. Xu Wuyi and Xiao Chuyun were assigned to threaten the outpost’s energy vein while allied grandmasters prepared to ambush reinforcements, and the assault began as they flew toward the stronghold.

• Lu Shaoyuan and Liu Yunshan settled the Federation’s four Star Realm Summoning quotas, assigning one to Lin Jianyi, one to Qin Wu, one to Xu Wuyi, and one to Jiang Muzhou.

• Lin Jianyi and Xiao Hanyuan warned the group not to fight Bearfolk Kings head-on during their berserk state, and the allied grandmasters set off toward the stronghold.

Xu Wuyi and Xiao Chuyun infiltrated the Bearfolk Clan’s stronghold and fought their way through its defenses to the mineral vein’s core, where they confronted Uerhan and Bater. After Uerhan injured Xiao Chuyun, Xu Wuyi intervened and broke Bater’s arm with one punch.

• Xu Wuyi used the power of Order to breach the stronghold’s outer armor and disable its energy traps as he and Xiao Chuyun passed through the first two defensive layers.
• Xu Wuyi endured the automated turrets’ fire and the mineral vein’s energy tendrils without injury, while Xiao Chuyun fought her way through the tendrils with her shield and saber.
• Xu Wuyi broke open the door to the mineral vein’s core, where Xiao Chuyun recognized the guarding Bearfolk Kings as Uerhan and Bater.
• Xiao Chuyun attacked Uerhan, but he overwhelmed her with his strength and knocked her away, leaving her injured and without her shield.
• Bater approached the injured Xiao Chuyun to finish her, but Xu Wuyi seized his axe and broke Bater’s arm with a single punch.

Xu Wuyi overwhelmed Uerhan and Bater in the Bearfolk stronghold, even after they entered berserk transformation, while reinforcements raced toward the mine core. Lin Jianyi and Zhu Nanxing ambushed the reinforcements with Qin Wu, leaving the scarred Bearfolk King surrounded.

• Xu Wuyi broke Bater's arm with an ordinary punch, then withstood Uerhan's hammer and the brothers' coordinated attacks without yielding ground.
• Uerhan sent a level-three distress signal, and he and Bater entered berserk transformation to increase their strength and speed.
• Xu Wuyi used Ninefold Stacking to send Uerhan flying, broke Bater's battle-axe, and injured both Bearfolk Kings until their berserk transformations ended.

• Qin Wu blocked the scarred Bearfolk King's path to the mine core, and Lin Jianyi and Zhu Nanxing arrived to surround him.

Xu Wuyi helped the Federation and Dawn Empire destroy a Bearfolk stronghold, killing two veteran Bearfolk kings and contaminating the mine before returning to the Federation. After the Bearfolk chief ordered his warriors to avoid Xu Wuyi, Chairman Lu welcomed him home and warned him that his growing strength would draw more enemies.
