Chapter Summaries

Jiang Feng and Aixi exchanged blows, with Jiang Feng’s full-power spear strike wounding Aixi and Aixi’s counterattack nearly destroying Jiang Feng’s body. Jiang Feng realized he could not endure another such strike and released soul suppression as Aixi attacked again.

• Aixi recovered from the wound and attacked Jiang Feng with a spear, breaking through his barrier and blasting away half his body.
• Jiang Feng retreated and reconstructed his body using the Heaven-Piercing Laws, while Nangong Que and Chen Yun marveled at his strength.
• Jiang Feng judged that Aixi’s laws gave him the advantage and that he could not withstand another direct hit, so he released soul suppression as Aixi attacked again.

Jiang Feng overwhelmed Aixi with soul suppression and powerful spear techniques, then broke Aixi’s Void Shadow with insights he had gained from watching Chen Yun. The golden light of Void Splendor destroyed Aixi’s flesh, and Aixi cried out for the Cult Leader to save him.

Jiang Feng killed Youming Kuang and the Evil Emperor Cult envoy Aixi in the Netherworld Abyss, despite being only in the Blood Embryo Realm. News of his victories spread through the Xuanhuang Grand Sect, leaving disciples and Prince Ying stunned.

• Prince Ying confirmed the reports with Nangong Que and Chen Yun, then struggled to believe Jiang Feng had overcome the gulf between the Blood Embryo and World King realms.

After earning merit for killing heretical envoys, Jiang Feng spent his points collecting body-refining techniques to strengthen himself and deepen his knowledge. Elder Mu offered him unrestricted access to the Scripture Repository’s body techniques on the condition that he submit any technique he created and keep the repository’s texts there.

• Xuanhuang Grand Sect disciples discussed Jiang Feng’s killing of Aixi and agreed that his strength was impressive, though they believed core disciples could defeat him.

After recognizing the art’s connection to the Crimson Flame Army, Sect Master Yuan Gu summoned Jiang Feng to meet him.

After reading the Scripture Repository Hall’s entire collection, Jiang Feng returned to revise the Void Body but left when a core disciple accused him of boasting. Back in the pavilion world, Chen Yun told him the sect’s Trial Grounds would open in a hundred years and asked whether he would participate.

• Over ten thousand years, Jiang Feng’s clone read every tome in the Scripture Repository Hall and concluded that the Void Body could be improved.
• Jiang Feng found a core disciple studying the Void Body and said he had comprehended and successfully cultivated it, discovering shortcomings in the method.
• The core disciple called Jiang Feng a braggart and threatened to throw him out unless he explained the method’s flaws, so Jiang Feng returned to the pavilion world.

• Chen Yun told Jiang Feng that the sect’s Trial Grounds would open in a hundred years and asked whether he wanted to participate.

Chen Yun urged Jiang Feng to join the Xuanhuang Grand Sect's trial so they could claim the Tree of Life cultivation opportunity, and Jiang Feng secured the sect master's permission. While waiting for the trial, he created powerful cultivation methods and secret arts suited to the Void Body.

• The chapter explained that the trial offered outer disciples a chance to enter the inner sect and rewarded the top ten, with first place earning a million years beneath the Tree of Life.
• Chen Yun asked Jiang Feng to join her in the trial, hoping they could secure the Tree of Life opportunity and help her reach the World King Realm.

• Prince Ying explained that disciples earned marks by killing demonic beasts, could steal marks by killing one another, and were eliminated when their bodies were destroyed.
• Jiang Feng and Chen Yun entered the formation world together but were scattered apart, and Jiang Feng began searching for her while killing beasts.
• Jiang Feng accumulated more than thirty thousand marks, avoided challenges from other disciples, and worried that inner sect disciples might target Chen Yun.

• Shi Moyang recognized Wu Qianqiu among a group of inner sect disciples and urged his companions to give up the Wasteland Stone-Armored Earth Dragon, but Wu Qianqiu’s group attacked and eliminated the others.

• Prince Ying praised Shi Moyang’s cultivation and character, and the higher-ups considered admitting him to the inner sect after the trial.

He shattered their combined attack and revealed a defense strong enough to withstand their secret arts, leaving the watching sect leaders and core disciples stunned as the fight continued.

• Tai Nie revealed that the disciples had agreed to join forces against Jiang Feng, and Jiang Feng accepted the challenge to fight them all at once.
• Prince Ying asked Yuan Gu to stop the ambush, but Yuan Gu refused to interfere with the trial, while the core disciples watched to see whether Jiang Feng could survive.
• More than a hundred Blood Embryo Realm ninth-level disciples unleashed their strongest attacks, and Jiang Feng countered with spear strikes empowered by World King Realm-level laws.
• Jiang Feng's spear radiance shattered the attacks and killed over thirty disciples, while more than a dozen techniques struck his body without breaking his sixth-level Void Body.
• Yuan Gu, Puyang Yu, and the other observers were stunned by Jiang Feng's strength, and Puyang Yu realized Jiang Feng might truly have cultivated the Void Body.

Jiang Feng and Chen Yun secured the top two positions in the trial before a Three-Headed Azure Dragon appeared. Jiang Feng challenged the sixth-tier beast and blocked its flames, leaving the spectators stunned by his strength.

• Jiang Feng drove off the disciples who ambushed him, claimed their marks, and met up with Chen Yun, whose marks had also passed three hundred thousand.

• Jiang Feng flew toward the beast to test his strength, while Chen Yun and the spectators watched in alarm.
• Jiang Feng blocked the Azure Dragon's flames with two spear strikes, and Chen Yun suspected he was using an avatar while his true body had reached the World King Realm.

• Jiang Feng and the other disciples were teleported out as Prince Ying announced that the trial was over.

Jiang Feng won the trial and gave Chen Yun his chance to cultivate beneath the Tree of Life, while she discovered he had already reached the World King Realm and concealed that fact from her mother. As Jiang Feng’s avatars continued sabotaging the Evil Emperor Cult, the Evil Emperor’s superior ordered reinforcements sent across the Boundless Thunder Wall to invade the Xuanhuang Great World.

• Prince Ying announced Jiang Feng as the trial’s first-place winner, Chen Yun as second, and promoted three outer disciples—including Shi Moyang—into the inner sect.

After General Jin exposed Jiang Feng’s clone, the Xuanhuang Grand Sect’s leaders gathered and revealed that Jiang Feng’s Void Body technique made him their only hope against the invasion. Jiang Feng learned that becoming a Great World Sovereign could repel invaders but would bind him to the world and end his pursuit of higher realms.
