Chapter Summaries

Key events

• Chen Yu defeats Long Che in the final Dragonkin Inheritance trial with his newly created technique, Wind Annihilation, overcoming Long Che’s inherited bloodline power and Dragon King Claw. The move is devastating but consumes so much energy that Chen Yu can use it only a few times.
• Elder Heluo names Chen Yu—under his identity as Aru—the winner. Long Che leaves in anger and haste.
• Chen Yu claims the Dragon General Armor, merging his Dragon Soldier Armor into it and completing its bloodline recognition. The armor greatly reduces physical, law, and mental damage while tripling his base strength.
• Heluo reveals the reward was part of a plan for Long Che to obtain the armor and join the Azure Dragon Tower. With Long Che’s powerful backers likely to retaliate, Heluo proposes hiding Chen Yu in a secluded small world before arranging his later entry into the Tower.

Character developments and interactions

• Chen Yu proves that his self-created Wind-and-Thunder art can overcome a superior opponent, but he carefully conceals his true identity and weighs the danger behind his victory. He outwardly acts concerned when Heluo warns him about the armor’s risks.
• Long Che is shocked and humiliated by defeat. He cannot challenge the result and leaves resentful, setting up a likely future conflict.
• Heluo expresses genuine admiration for Chen Yu’s achievement, then reveals the political scheme surrounding the armor and offers to protect him. His sudden proposal leaves Chen Yu suspicious and wary.

Significant themes

• Power and its cost: Wind Annihilation can turn the tide of battle, but its enormous energy demand makes it risky.
• Merit versus inherited advantage: Chen Yu’s victory challenges the presumed superiority of Long Che’s noble bloodline and inherited power.
• Power, politics, and trust: Winning the armor brings not only strength but also political danger; Heluo’s offer may be protection, manipulation, or both.
• Concealed identity and strategic caution: Chen Yu’s ability to keep his true identity hidden shapes how he responds to the threat.

Plot points and events

• Chen Yu recognizes that obtaining the Dragon General Armor has left him exposed: Elder Heluo and the Azure Dragon Tower may want to keep him under watch. He agrees to accompany Heluo to a hidden Small World, reasoning that refusing could attract even more powerful pursuers.
• Heluo promises that the refuge will keep Long Che’s Star Lord allies from finding Chen Yu and offers him several years of cultivation before formally bringing him into the Azure Dragon Tower.
• After Heluo and Chen Yu depart, Long Che returns with his father, a colossal Dragon Race powerhouse. The father is angry that the Azure Dragon Tower broke its assurance that Long Che would be the inheritance’s only pure-blood contender. He also rebukes Long Che for losing to the acquired pure-blood Chen Yu, though Long Che vows to reclaim the armor and defeat him.
• Long Che’s father says growing tensions among the races may lead to localized wars within a century, and frames joining the Azure Dragon Tower as preparation—and an opportunity—before taking Long Che there to demand an explanation.
• In Heluo’s Small World, Chen Yu sees the Frigid Heaven Waterfall, a powerful cultivation site. Its heavy, freezing water strains his body while its energy helps him open Star Apertures. He estimates it can support about five openings per day—less than the Dragon Tower blood pool, but far better than Source Energy Fluid.
• As Chen Yu cultivates, Heluo secretly activates a Blood Extraction Grand Formation around him. The formation drains a target’s bloodline and transfers it to Heluo.

Character developments and interactions

• Chen Yu is cautious and pragmatic: although suspicious of Heluo’s intentions, he accepts the refuge to avoid drawing greater attention and decides to make the most of its cultivation benefits.
• Heluo presents himself as a protector and benefactor, but secretly intends to siphon Chen Yu’s valuable pure-blood lineage. His past rise from mixed-blood to pure-blood was aided by the same formation.
• Long Che is humiliated by his defeat and promises revenge. His father reinforces that failure, while also explaining the strategic reasons for Long Che’s future role in the Azure Dragon Tower.
• Long Che’s father is powerful and politically alert. He blames the Azure Dragon Tower for breaking its promise, but also treats the coming racial conflicts as a chance for advancement.

Significant themes

• Trust and deception: Heluo’s safe haven and cultivation offer conceal a predatory plan.
• Power, lineage, and status: Pure-blood heritage shapes political expectations, personal ambition, and the value of Chen Yu as a target.
• Pragmatism and risk: Chen Yu accepts an imperfect bargain because the alternatives appear more dangerous.
• Conflict as opportunity: The prospect of inter-racial war is presented not only as a threat but also as a path to advancement.

Key plot points and events

• Heluo secretly drains small amounts of blood from Pure-Blood Dragon Race cultivators to strengthen his own bloodline. He lured Chen Yu—posing as “Aru”—to the Frigid Heaven Waterfall for the same purpose.
• Chen Yu receives a warning that his red-tier Pure-Blood Dragon talent is slowly degrading. He realizes Heluo is siphoning his blood, but judges the process is slow and that confronting a Star Lord would be far more dangerous.
• After six months of cultivation, Chen Yu reaches the eighth aperture-opening layer, with 9,600 star apertures. He estimates his talent’s degradation is only at 98% and concludes Heluo intends to steal blood discreetly rather than harm him.
• Heluo leaves to handle affairs at the Azure Dragon Tower, believing Chen Yu is safely confined and revealing that political pressure over the Dragon General Armor is mounting. He expects to return Chen Yu eventually, while accepting that the armor will go to Long Che.
• Chen Yu waits three days, then fills his Dimensional Pocket with as much Frigid Heaven Waterfall water as it can hold. He heads for the small world’s boundary and uses his newly forged red-tier Space-Rending Wings to pass through it and escape.

Character developments and interactions

• Chen Yu shifts from alarm to cautious confidence. He stays outwardly obedient around Heluo, hides his progress, and patiently waits for an opening rather than provoking a powerful enemy. When Heluo leaves, Chen Yu acts decisively, taking what he can and escaping.
• Heluo is revealed as calculating and self-serving. He exploits the trust of pureblood prodigies and the allure of the waterfall, while prioritizing the Azure Dragon Tower’s political interests and Long Che’s backers over Chen Yu.
• Chen Yu and Heluo maintain a cordial façade: Heluo reassures him to keep cultivating, and Chen Yu pretends to be content. Their apparent trust masks Heluo’s exploitation and Chen Yu’s concealed escape plan.

Significant themes

• Exploitation and deception: Heluo’s hospitality disguises his bloodline theft.
• Patience and strategic survival: Chen Yu avoids a direct confrontation until circumstances favor escape.
• Power and political influence: The Dragon General Armor dispute shows how powerful patrons shape outcomes.
• Resourcefulness: Chen Yu turns Heluo’s absence and his rare spatial talent into a chance for freedom.

Summary

• Heluo discovers Aru is missing. Five days after Chen Yu’s departure, Heluo returns to his Small World with Long Che and Long Xiao, who has come to reclaim Aru and the Dragon General Armor. Heluo has been ordered by the Azure Dragon Tower to comply, since it values the innate-pureblood Long Che more highly than Aru. After assuring Heluo he will not seize the Small World, Long Xiao waits outside while Heluo goes in to retrieve Aru.
• Aru and the armor have vanished. Heluo searches the entire sealed Small World but finds no trace of Aru. Fearing the consequences—and the loss of the Dragon General Armor—he begins erasing evidence of the Blood Extraction Grand Formation he has secretly used.
• Long Xiao breaks in and finds evidence. Suspicious that Heluo is taking too long, Long Xiao forces open the Small World’s barrier. Finding only Heluo, he assumes Heluo killed Aru to conceal what he had done. Long Xiao then notices traces of the forbidden formation and realizes Heluo has been stealing bloodline power from Beast Race geniuses. Rather than immediately report him, Long Xiao considers using the discovery to coerce Heluo into serving him.
• Chen Yu escapes safely. After leaving the Small World, Chen Yu meets up with Mohe and returns to his own spaceship. He falsifies its travel records, then spends nearly a month returning to the Red River Galaxy and the Divine Weapons Valley. Despite the danger of the Dragonkin Inheritance, he escapes with substantial gains.

Character developments and interactions

• Heluo shifts from cautious confidence to panic when Aru disappears. His effort to conceal the forbidden formation makes him look even more culpable.
• Long Xiao is forceful and suspicious, but politically calculating: once he uncovers Heluo’s crime, he sees an opportunity to exploit it rather than immediately expose him.
• Long Che accompanies his father to reclaim the armor, reflecting the Azure Dragon Tower’s priority for his status as an innate pure blood.
• Chen Yu acts cautiously and successfully covers his tracks, avoiding discovery after his escape.
• The tense exchange between Long Xiao and Heluo escalates from guarded courtesy to accusation and intrusion, while Chen Yu and Mohe cooperate in arranging Chen Yu’s getaway.

Significant themes

The chapter emphasizes power and political leverage, showing how status and bloodline determine whose interests the Azure Dragon Tower protects. It also highlights secrecy and betrayal: Heluo’s forbidden exploitation is exposed just as he tries to hide it, while Long Xiao treats the evidence as a potential bargaining tool. Finally, survival through deception and careful planning is reflected in Chen Yu’s escape and falsified travel records.

Key plot points and events

• Nearly ten years after joining Divine Weapons Valley, Chen Yu reflects on his rapid progress and remembers how He Suo’s bribery once led to an attempt to block his entry.
• Great Elder Li Ya asks Chen Yu to oversee the upcoming Divine Weapons Valley Trial. Chen Yu agrees, partly because he wants to assess the new martial talents.
• Li Ya then warns Chen Yu against entering the Heavenly Wave Realm too soon. He recommends waiting until Chen Yu has opened a divine treasury, citing the danger posed by Lei Caoshang, who recently defeated senior brother Ye Ya by a narrow margin.
• Chen Yu refuses to delay. He believes Lei Caoshang will grow stronger too, and he needs the Heavenly Wave Realm’s opponents and opportunities to advance his talents and comprehend the laws of heaven and earth. He is also racing against the approaching Battle of Myriad Stars.
• Accepting Chen Yu’s decision, Li Ya does not press him further. Chen Yu asks the Great Elder to explain the Heavenly Wave Realm.

Character development

• Chen Yu is confident and purposeful. Though he recognizes the danger, he prioritizes rapid growth over safety and understands that secluded cultivation alone will not get him ready in time.
• Li Ya is a protective but pragmatic mentor. He voices the valley’s concerns, then respects Chen Yu’s independence once he understands his reasoning.

Significant themes

• Li Ya warns him about Lei Caoshang and the Flame Demon Sect’s threat; Chen Yu counters that waiting would only let his enemies grow stronger.

Key plot points and events

• Li Ya explains that the Heavenly Wave Realm is a small world about one light-second across, inhabited by two hostile native factions: the Heavenly Witches and Earthly Witches.
• Each faction possesses a naturally formed mystic treasure, one yin and one yang. Together, the treasures grant complete control over the realm and allow it to be moved.
• The factions’ two Ancestor Witches have agreed to surrender the treasures to anyone who can defeat them both. But challengers may use neither treasures nor secret arts.
• The Ancestor Witches’ strength is boosted by their treasures and the realm’s world will, making them comparable to peak Divine Treasury cultivators with an initial grasp of a law. Outsiders who comprehend a law inside the realm are expelled, making the challenge especially difficult.
• Li Ya says only a prodigy with extreme limit-breaking potential has a chance. Divine Weapons Valley’s best candidate, Gu Changtian, has already advanced to the Star Sea Realm, while Chen Yu is behind the Flame Demon Sect’s Lei Caoshang in cultivation time.
• Chen Yu believes he can eventually match Lei Caoshang through his exceptional potential and dual wind-and-lightning paths, but he is not yet strong enough. Using the Dragon General Armor could help, but risks exposing the powerful treasure if Lei escapes.
• Li Ya also explains that small worlds attract and absorb inheritances and resources from the wider universe, accounting for the foreign legacies Chen Yu has encountered.

Character developments and interactions

• Li Ya provides the realm’s history and rules, while expressing concern that the timing has left Divine Weapons Valley without an ideal candidate.
• Their exchange shifts from the challenge and Lei Caoshang’s advantage to Chen Yu’s curiosity about the origins of the realm’s treasures and inheritances.

Significant themes

• Strength and constraints: Raw power alone is not enough; the challenge restricts tools and penalizes law comprehension.
• Timing and competition: Chen Yu’s potential is immense, but his later emergence puts him at a disadvantage against Lei Caoshang.
• Secrecy and strategic restraint: Chen Yu weighs the cost of exposing a powerful treasure against the benefit of using it.
• Interconnected worlds: Small worlds are not closed systems; they draw in resources and legacies from across the universe.

Key plot points and events

• Li Ya explains the Heavenly Wave Realm: it is vast but politically simple, home to the Heavenly and Earthly Witches. The Flame Demon Sect and Divine Weapons Valley avoid provoking them because control of the realm depends on the Ancestor Witches’ innate Mystic Treasures.
• Chen Yu remodels Azure Affinity Peak, carving out a chamber and installing a miniature Frigid Heaven Waterfall using water taken from Heluo. He plans to let Fan Qingxian and the others use it to strengthen themselves once he no longer needs it.
• After more than a month of cultivation, the Divine Weapons Valley Trial begins. Candidates arrive by spaceship and discover that the area they first reach is only the valley’s outer perimeter; an illusory inverted valley hangs above them.
• Zhao Tianyi, Wang Qianjun, and their Scarlet Radiance companions reunite with former top students Fan Mubai, Ding Qing, and Zhang Yingxue. They ask about Chen Yu, unaware of his recent achievements, but their conversation is interrupted by the arrival of Nian An.
• Fan Mubai recognizes Nian An, once the leader of Night Dawn Star’s Resistance Army. Now free of his former cybernetic body, Nian An has become powerful enough to make the three senior martial artists—already at Aperture Opening Second Layer—sense danger from him.

• Chen Yu remains practical and forward-looking: he improves his residence, continues advancing toward the Ninth Aperture Opening Layer, and intends to use his resources to help his companions grow.

• Nian An’s dramatic transformation—from a heavily cybernetic resistance leader to a formidable martial artist—shocks the returning seniors and hints at Night Dawn Star’s rapid progress.

Significant themes

• Strength and status: Martial power determines how others treat a person, motivating Chen Yu to strengthen his companions.
• Restraint and political balance: The rival factions avoid antagonizing the native witches because mutual destruction would benefit neither side.
• Transformation and progress: Chen Yu’s cultivation, his companions’ prospects, and Nian An’s rise all reflect the rapid changes brought by martial arts and new opportunities.
• Unequal knowledge: Chen Yu’s reputation has grown, but many old friends remain unaware of his achievements, highlighting the distance created by their different paths.

Key plot points and events

• Nian An reunites with Fan Mubai and Ding Qing. He reveals that Chen Yu gave him a Precious Pill that freed him from the limits of his Cyborg Body, allowing him to cultivate martial arts. Nian An has reached the Aperture Opening third stage and speaks of Chen Yu with intense reverence.
• Zhao Tianyi, Wang Qianjun, Hao Xi, and the other Scarlet Radiance martial artists arrive at the Divine Weapons Valley Trial. They are awed and intimidated by the many experienced Aperture Opening fighters gathered there.

• Fan Mubai recognizes parallels between Nian An’s predicament and Chen Yu’s experience at the previous trial, but Chen Yu’s sudden arrival interrupts his explanation.

Significant themes

• Gratitude and loyalty: Nian An’s devotion to Chen Yu stems from the life-changing help Chen Yu gave him.
• Intimidation and perseverance: The newcomers must confront how far behind they are, while accepting that failure may simply mean waiting for another chance.
• Reputation and expectation: Chen Yu’s past achievements shape others’ respect for him—and foreshadow his impact on the new trial.

Chen Yu reunited with prodigies from Scarlet Radiance as he took charge of the Divine Weapons Valley trial. After explaining the three stages, he started the trial and assessed the candidates’ talents, leaving Zhao Tianyi and his companions to climb the first test.

• Chen Yu stepped out of the Palace and Wu Qi identified him as the renowned Red River Blade Demon, stunning Zhao Tianyi and the others.
• Chen Yu greeted the Scarlet Radiance group and promised to catch up with them after the trial, while Wu Qi and Wen Duan panicked over having antagonized his acquaintances.

• Zhao Tianyi and the other newer Aperture Opening martial artists struggled up the stairs as Chen Yu watched without intervening.
• Chen Yu used talent insight to examine the candidates, noting Wu Qi and Wen Duan’s purple talents and limit-breaking fourth-revolution aptitude.

• Chen Yu brought Zhao Tianyi, Fan Mubai, Nian An, and the others into Azure Affinity Peak as a welcome gift, and they were astonished by its dense source energy.

Chen Yu gave Fan Qingxian and the Scarlet Radiance talents access to Azure Affinity Peak and organized them to help establish the Universe Company, then staged a breakthrough to the Divine Treasury realm to qualify for the Heavenly Wave Realm. After illuminating all 10,800 Zhoutian Star Apertures, he became the strongest Aperture Opening martial artist in history and prepared to enter the Heavenly Wave Realm.

• Chen Yu appointed Fan Qingxian to lead Zhao Tianyi, Nian An, and the other Scarlet Radiance talents in establishing the Universe Company, and they all agreed to join.

Chen Yu traveled in secret to the Heavenly Wave Realm, where he discovered that its powerful gravity and abundant source power made it an ideal place for cultivation. After entering the realm, he planned to find a secluded place to break through to the Divine Treasury Realm, but a metallic clang sounded nearby.

• Earthly Barbarian recognized Chen Yu as a Weapon-Forging Master and invited him into the village.
• Chen Yu observed a clansman forging a weapon and identified why the attempt to make a Mid-Tier Spirit Treasure was failing.
• The spirit metal lost its spiritual essence and became scrap, prompting Earthly Barbarian to ask Chen Yu to forge a Mid-Tier Spirit Treasure for the sacrificial rite.
