Ch. 421Conspiracy?

Key plot points and events

  • The city lords conclude that Lifudo and the other enemies are Chaos Life from beyond the Hunyuan Divine Realm, who entered the realm by taking over corpses supplied by He Tianxun.
  • He Tianxun’s betrayal appears tied to the Emperor’s blood essence and his pursuit of a Hunyuan Spirit Treasure. Luo Feng suspects He Tianxun deliberately sent him to deliver the essence to Yuan City, drawing She Chuan away from his post guarding the Abyss-Sealing Palace. The enemy’s real plan may therefore extend beyond Tianxun City.
  • Frost Lord orders the group to end the battle quickly and divides the city lords among the enemy fighters. Myriad Realms Venerable uses his space powers to separate the battlefield and carry Luo Feng and Jiushan toward the place where Luo Feng’s true body is sealed.
  • Xiao Wangtian confronts Mo Piao, while the other city lords battle their assigned foes. Nangong Wushuang struggles against the powerful Lifudo; Myriad Realms Venerable keeps Eigusang at bay through superior spatial control; and Frost Lord fights Celine, whose mastery of nine forms of Origin Power challenges him despite his icy domain.
  • Luo Feng can sense his true body but finds it separated by many layers of spacetime. Since rescue is uncertain and most of that body is contaminated, he resolves to act for himself—using One Dream of Withered Silence and his knowledge of Origin Power and the Path of Evolving Heaven.

Character developments and interactions

  • Luo Feng moves from anger at being used by He Tianxun to strategic suspicion, then accepts that he may have to rescue himself.
  • Xiao Wangtian remains decisive and distrustful of the enemy, but his assignment—facing the dangerous Mo Piao—puts him in a major duel.
  • Myriad Realms Venerable demonstrates exceptional spatial ability, earning even Xiao Wangtian’s admiration, and leads the effort to reach Luo Feng.
  • Frost Lord fights with newly enhanced strength from the Pole-Realm Staff and dragon bloodline, while Celine mocks his perceived weakness and attacks with confidence.
  • Nangong Wushuang recognizes that Lifudo is exceptionally strong, even in a body that is not his original one. Eigusang, meanwhile, realizes Myriad Realms Venerable may be beyond his own abilities.

Significant themes

  • Betrayal and deception: He Tianxun’s apparent trustworthiness concealed a larger scheme, and Starlight was treated as a disposable pawn.
  • Strategic uncertainty: The heroes fear their actions may already have been anticipated, and that the true threat lies beyond the immediate battle.
  • Self-reliance under pressure: With rescue uncertain and his true body compromised, Luo Feng chooses to fight for his own survival.
  • Power and adaptation: The clashes reveal how the outsiders have adapted to the realm’s cultivation system, while the city lords draw on specialized abilities and newly acquired strength.

Ch. 422Changes at Abyss-Sealing Palace

Plot points and events

  • City Lord Miao Qing, Mo Hanshan, and Bahe Supreme guard Abyss-Sealing Palace, anticipating an attack after He Tianxun’s betrayal and She Chuan’s entry into the Ancient Warship’s Core Secret Realm.
  • Miao Qing explains the danger: Chaos Life from beyond the domain may exploit the opening to invade the Source World, where weakened suppression could let them break through to the Hunyuan Divine Realm.
  • Thirteen more Supremes arrive to help defend the palace. As enemy auras approach, Miao Qing activates Abyss-Sealing Palace, a powerful Domain Supreme Treasure, and its stored divine power.
  • Pajiesen Longlei leads four powerful Chaos Life in an assault. While they engage the defenders, a much larger force rushes into Chaos Abyss toward the Source World.
  • The defenders clash with the five leaders, whose combined power initially surpasses the Supremes’ attacks. Miao Qing urges his allies to fight carefully and stay near the palace’s protective domain.
  • She Chuan’s Divine Power Clone reveals that the palace’s defenses include a vast, pre-positioned formation. It activates across Chaos Abyss, annihilating space in its path and killing weaker invaders. Ten powerful puppets emerge to pursue survivors, while the formation also restricts Pajiesen and his companions.

Character developments and interactions

  • Miao Qing shifts from anxious anticipation to determined leadership, organizing the defenders and confronting Pajiesen directly. The formation gives him renewed confidence.
  • Bahe Supreme and Mo Hanshan support Miao Qing and prepare to fight; Mo Hanshan questions whether He Tianxun could command such an invasion, while Bahe suspects the warship’s inner realm conceals a trap.
  • She Chuan, absent from the battlefield, proves to have prepared extensively: his clone activates the palace and its hidden defenses. He remains confident that He Tianxun cannot keep him trapped.
  • Pajiesen Longlei taunts the defenders, claiming She Chuan will not return in time. He and the other leaders are eager to demonstrate their superiority, but the formation limits their freedom.
  • The defenders coordinate against the invaders, while Pajiesen’s group splits up to draw them into separate fights.

Significant themes

  • Betrayal and hidden schemes: He Tianxun’s defection sets a larger crisis in motion, though he may not be its true mastermind.
  • Preparation and strategy: She Chuan’s long-laid defenses and Miao Qing’s use of the palace help counter an overwhelming enemy.
  • Collective survival amid unequal power: The Supremes face stronger opponents and a vastly larger invading force, making cooperation and tactical positioning essential.
  • Escalating threat: The battle at Abyss-Sealing Palace is only one front; countless Chaos Life are already advancing toward the Source World.

Ch. 423Tianxun Church

Key plot points and events

  • In the Chaos Abyss, the formation protecting the defenders collapses after only a few breaths. The Chaos Lifeforms prepare to overpower them, but the ancient serpent Chigu River appears and unleashes a domain rivaling the Abyss-Sealing Palace’s.
  • Chigu River tells She Chuan that opening the Source World is inevitable and threatens to treat the defenders as food. She Chuan orders City Lord Miao Qing and the others to retreat to Yuan City, while his puppets cover their escape. Chigu River lets them go.
  • Across the Origin Continent, the Tianxun Church spreads rapidly. Its agents establish statues of He Tianxun, whose secret patterns both aid cultivation and implant devotion in those who view them.
  • In the Chaos Land, Luo Feng learns that the Church has appeared in several God King nations and orders Humanity’s scattered experts to return to the Galaxy Empire, fearing a larger calamity. He has also learned that the defenders in the Chaos Abyss have been forced back.
  • Demon Lord Fushen makes God King Yushui the Church’s first believer in the region, compelling him to spread the faith and rewarding him with an Origin Supreme Treasure.
  • A Church agent attacks the Galaxy Empire, but Luo Feng traps him in sealed spacetime after the agent’s Absolute Domain descends.
  • In Tianxun City, suspicion that He Tianxun has betrayed his allies grows. Three city lords arrive, but Supreme Tulu and other Supremes block Jiushan and Flame-Eccentric True Lord from entering the City Lord’s Residence.

Character developments and interactions

  • She Chuan recognizes the crisis but prioritizes withdrawing his allies rather than risking needless losses. His past escape of Chigu River makes the serpent’s return especially troubling.
  • Chigu River emerges as a major threat, openly supporting the opening of the Source World, though he does not pursue the retreating defenders.
  • Luo Feng responds cautiously to the Church’s expansion, recalling Humanity’s adventurers and preparing to defend the empire. When an agent attacks, he moves decisively and appears confident in his formation.
  • God King Yushui is transformed from a frightened captive into a fervent believer through the statue’s influence and the Church’s coercion.
  • Demon Lord Fushen carries out the orders while privately questioning Heavenly Roaming God Venerable’s larger plan.
  • Jiushan and Flame-Eccentric True Lord seek access to Tianxun City’s City Lord’s Residence, but Supreme Tulu stands in their way, setting up a confrontation.

Significant themes

  • A widening invasion: The assault on the Chaos Abyss and the Church’s spread across the Origin Continent suggest coordinated threats on multiple fronts.
  • Manipulation disguised as faith: The Church uses rewards, force, and statues that alter viewers’ minds to manufacture devotion.
  • Retreat and preparation: She Chuan and Luo Feng both choose strategic preservation of their forces over reckless confrontation.
  • Uncertainty and betrayal: He Tianxun’s motives remain unclear, while Chigu River’s return and the Church’s sudden expansion raise questions about who is directing events.

Ch. 424He Tianxun and Supreme Noming

Chapter summary

Key plot points and events

  • Jiushan takes Luo Feng past the enemy group and into the City Lord’s Residence while Flame-Eccentric stays behind to hold off the attackers. Luo Feng can sense that his true body is trapped somewhere within the surrounding spacetime, but neither he nor Jiushan can identify its precise location.
  • Another powerful Chaos Lifeform appears and attacks Jiushan, forcing him to protect Luo Feng’s clone by drawing it into his Inner Universe.
  • In the residence, He Tianxun reveals that his scheme is underway. He hopes to trap She Chuan in the Far Sky Ship’s Core Secret Realm, remove his chief obstacle, and claim a Hunyuan Spirit Treasure. He plans to use faith and the help of his allies to grow stronger, eventually refine the Source World, and defeat its remaining rulers.
  • He Tianxun’s ally Yemo—whose soul now inhabits Lifudo’s body—questions the plan and says he still wants his original body back. He Tianxun says it needs further modification before it can withstand Yemo’s power.
  • Cut off from events outside, Luo Feng decides to rely on himself. He activates One Dream of Withered Silence, accepting that its current, imperfect form can grant him only one Era of Reincarnation to study Origin Power.
  • Inside the Far Sky Ship, She Chuan and Supreme Noming have been separated. Noming is trapped in a shifting chamber he cannot escape. He Tianxun appears, demands Noming’s submission, and threatens to kill him. Noming recognizes the terrifying golden arm as the Hunyuan Spirit Treasure.

Character developments and interactions

Significant themes

  • Ambition and power: He Tianxun’s plans combine force, political domination, faith, and control of the Source World.
  • Bodily identity and transformation: Yemo’s borrowed body and desire to regain his own highlight the distinction between soul, body, and personal identity.

Key plot points and events

  • He Tianxun kills Supreme Noming with one strike, destroying both his divine body and soul. He collects Noming’s remains and vows that She Chuan will be next.
  • Noming’s death is immediately felt in Yuan City: his Divine Power Clones vanish, and his communication tools become ownerless. She Chuan’s clone announces Noming’s death and appoints Bahe acting city lord, since She Chuan’s true body is trapped in a palace world.
  • She Chuan confronts He Tianxun, carrying the Qiankun Seal. He Tianxun claims his chances of killing She Chuan are much higher in this realm than they would be outside it.
  • She Chuan senses that He Tianxun seems strangely different and suspects he may not be the real person. He Tianxun dismisses the suspicion and reveals that his golden arm possesses power comparable to the Qiankun Seal. She Chuan realizes the fight will be extremely dangerous.
  • Meanwhile, Luo Feng recovers from his brief dream and decides to strengthen his body along the God King-level Path of Evolving Heaven before advancing to Fifth-Origin Supreme and purging a sinister power from himself.
  • Luo Feng’s clone successfully completes the body-and-soul refinement, using a Soul-Origin Flower to ease the pain and help the transformed soul recover. The experience reveals that the clone’s soul had been too weak for the process, despite its well-prepared body.
  • Luo Feng prepares to attempt the breakthrough with his true body.

Character developments

  • He Tianxun is revealed as ruthless and newly formidable, wielding a golden arm whose power rivals a Hunyuan Spirit Treasure. His apparent confidence raises doubts about whether he is truly the He Tianxun She Chuan knew.
  • Supreme Noming refuses to surrender and chooses to fight despite knowing he cannot win. His death is sudden and decisive.
  • She Chuan moves from grief over his disciple’s death to fierce resolve. Though confident in his Qiankun Seal, he becomes wary when he senses He Tianxun’s unfamiliar presence and power.
  • Luo Feng shows patience and strategic judgment: rather than rushing to advance, he plans to strengthen his body first. His clone’s breakthrough also teaches him to prepare both body and soul equally.

Significant themes

Chapter Summary: “A Brutal Battle”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Luo Feng risks cultivating the Path of Evolving Heaven with his true body, knowing that failure would destroy both his true body and all his clones.
  • The technique successfully restructures his divine form and purges all traces of the strange contaminating power. He then uses two petals of the Soul-Origin Flower to support the much more painful refinement of his soul.
  • After completing the process, Luo Feng’s physical body becomes at least twice as strong, while his divine power reaches the level of a true Supreme—equivalent to more than a hundred refinements.
  • With mastery over the essential powers of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, Luo Feng believes he now surpasses a Fifth-Origin Supreme and may be capable of fighting the Five-Headed Nether Demon Flood Dragon. His soul perception and understanding of Origin Power also improve dramatically.
  • Luo Feng sets his next goal: condensing an Origin Heart and entering the Supreme Realm. He also becomes more confident that he can eventually confront He Tianxun.
  • In Tianxun City, the Flame-Eccentric True Lord is overwhelmed by four Supremes empowered by the city’s formations. They demand that he submit to Tianxun City Lord He Tianxun, but he refuses, calling submission to a traitor unacceptable.
  • Jiushan is similarly trapped by a powerful Chaos Life inhabiting a Jiuli Tribe body. He cannot escape or search for Luo Feng and calls upon the Myriad Realms Venerable for help.
  • Yemo enters the battlefield at He Tianxun’s request and targets Jiushan. His arrival turns Jiushan’s already desperate situation into a near-certain death sentence.
  • Jiushan uses an Absolute Domain, burns one of his Origins, and unleashes powerful Fire Origin attacks, but Yemo effortlessly destroys his techniques and continues pursuing him.
  • Just as Yemo is about to kill Jiushan, the Myriad Realms Venerable arrives, creating a new confrontation. He recognizes Yemo and realizes that He Tianxun is collaborating with him.

Character Developments

  • Luo Feng: Makes a major breakthrough by successfully refining his true body. He gains Supreme-level strength, sharper soul perception, and greater confidence. His survival has transformed him from someone fighting desperately to someone preparing to challenge He Tianxun directly.

  • Jiushan: Demonstrates courage and desperation by burning an Origin to survive. He recognizes the overwhelming difference in strength between himself and Yemo, relying entirely on the Myriad Realms Venerable for rescue.
  • Yemo: Is revealed as an extremely dangerous Chaos Life with overwhelming combat ability. He treats Jiushan as helpless prey and appears confident after entering his new host body.
  • He Tianxun: Remains calm and detached while observing the battles. He directs Yemo to fight, showing that he regards the conflict as controlled experimentation and is openly cooperating with a Chaos Life.
  • Myriad Realms Venerable: Arrives at the critical moment to save Jiushan and confronts Yemo, indicating that he is powerful enough not to fear their old rivalry.

Significant Themes

  • Transformation through crisis: Luo Feng’s breakthrough is possible because extreme danger forces him to take a risk he would otherwise avoid.
  • Resolve and defiance: Both Luo Feng and the Flame-Eccentric True Lord refuse to surrender, even when facing overwhelming odds.
  • The cost of power: Luo Feng endures immense pain to evolve, while Jiushan must burn an Origin—sacrificing part of his foundation—to escape death.
  • Betrayal and allegiance: He Tianxun’s partnership with Yemo and the Flame-Eccentric True Lord’s refusal to submit to a traitor emphasize the chapter’s focus on loyalty and treachery.
  • The gap between realms: Jiushan’s helplessness against Yemo highlights the enormous difference between ordinary Supreme-level fighters and truly superior beings.
  • Perception beyond cultivation: Luo Feng’s improved soul realm allows him to perceive Origin Power from a higher perspective, suggesting that advancement in realm can precede and accelerate understanding of laws.

Character Interactions

Ch. 427A Great Upheaval

  • Yemo’s current body is weakened, but he can still destroy or corrupt the spaces Myriad Realms creates. Myriad Realms responds with his two Space Shuttles and an army of 10,081 planet-sized beads, forcing Yemo into a difficult fight.
  • Unable to find Luo Feng, Myriad Realms turns his Space Shuttles on He Tianxun’s Courtyard. He Tianxun defends it with array-formed dragons, while Myriad Realms directs Jiushan to attack and uses spatial power to disrupt the Courtyard’s defenses.
  • He Tianxun calls on Yemo to help breach the Courtyard. Yemo begins to turn away from Myriad Realms, but He Tianxun suddenly senses the Star Tower violently resisting its confinement.
  • The Star Tower’s expanding force shakes the world and begins breaking the chains of source power that bind it. He Tianxun realizes his Divine Power Clone may not be able to hold it much longer.

Character developments

  • Myriad Realms Venerable reveals both his formidable command of spacetime and his priority: finding and rescuing Luo Feng. When his search fails, he escalates by attacking the Courtyard.

Ch. 428Supreme Luo Feng

Chapter Summary

Key plot points and events

  • Luo Feng breaks out of He Tianxun’s sealed world using the Star Tower. The tower shatters the Origin Power chains, tears through the world’s Forbidden Realm, and destroys He Tianxun’s Divine Power clone, despite the surrounding formation.
  • Outside, Luo Feng immediately attacks Yemo with the Star Tower’s sealing and devouring powers. Yemo escapes by using a technique that collapses the spacetime around him, while another of He Tianxun’s allies flees. Myriad Realms Venerable helps Luo Feng but advises him not to pursue Yemo into He Tianxun’s heavily fortified territory.
  • The group learns that Flame-Eccentric True Lord is in danger. He has burned his Time Origin to survive a battle against four opponents, but the formation protecting them prevents him from defeating them.

  • Luo Feng demonstrates the Star Tower’s overwhelming power and prioritizes rescuing his allies over pursuing Yemo. He feels responsible for the sacrifices made by Jiushan and Flame-Eccentric, and thanks Flame-Eccentric after the rescue.
  • Flame-Eccentric True Lord fights desperately but is ultimately constrained by the enemy formation. Though he survives, the loss of his Time Origin leaves him grieving for his lost potential. He nonetheless acknowledges Luo Feng’s achievement.
  • Jiushan has also sacrificed an Origin to help Luo Feng escape. He and Flame-Eccentric silently recognize their shared regret.
  • Myriad Realms Venerable acts pragmatically: he assists in rescuing Flame-Eccentric and prevents Luo Feng from taking a dangerous risk by chasing Yemo.
  • Yemo proves difficult to capture, showing that his spacetime-collapse technique can blunt even the Star Tower’s power. He retreats rather than risk fighting at less than full strength.
  • He Tianxun loses his Divine Power clone when Luo Feng breaks into the courtyard.

Significant themes

  • The cost of survival: Jiushan and Flame-Eccentric sacrifice Origin Power to protect others, accepting permanent limits on their future advancement.
  • Power and vulnerability: Luo Feng’s sudden breakthrough and the Star Tower’s might are extraordinary, yet even they cannot guarantee victory against powerful opponents, formations, and hostile territory.

  • The Outer Chaos Lives are preparing a major invasion. Chigu River, a World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform, is blocking the Chaos Abyss, while Yemo and an even more dangerous World-Level being may also be in the region. He Tianxun’s betrayal and possession of the warship further worsen the defenders’ odds.
  • Myriad Realms Venerable extracts Luo Feng and his companions from the battle near Tianxun City. Their enemies withdraw, leaving the defenders puzzled about why they were not pressed harder.
  • At the gathering of city lords, everyone learns Luo Feng has reached Supreme Level and condensed five origin powers. The group sets aside an attack on Tianxun City and heads to Yuan City to strengthen the defense.
  • Luo Feng reveals that Tianxun City has an underground palace filled with Supreme-level corpses, possibly used in the Chaos Lives’ rebirth. The city lords agree it may be important but judge it too dangerous to reach.
  • At Yuan City, the defenders activate their last-resort Sealing Formation: the city has been divided into four fortified sections surrounding the Chaos Abyss entrance. The formation suppresses the surrounding spacetime, but impacts from below begin shaking it, raising the possibility of a catastrophic breach.

Character developments and interactions

  • Luo Feng arrives at a crucial moment with a major breakthrough. He remains uncertain of his new strength, though he believes he may surpass the Seventh Source Supreme and perhaps eventually rival City Lord Moyang. His Star Tower has also grown stronger alongside his cultivation.
  • Frost Lord is openly pleased by Luo Feng’s advancement and shows no jealousy, despite recognizing that He Tianxun had wanted to take over Luo Feng’s body.

Key plot points and events

  • City lords and powerful Supremes from across the Hunyuan Divine Realm gather in Yuan City to prepare for an expected invasion from the Chaos Abyss.

  • With Supreme Noming dead and She Chuan trapped aboard the Ancient Warship, Xiao Wangtian explains that defending Yuan City, which guards the Chaos Abyss entrance, is the realm’s urgent priority.
  • Before sharing sensitive plans, the leaders use the Myriad Realms Venerable’s Turbid World to test attendees for contamination or possession. Most pass, including Luo Feng and the Frost Lord.
  • When suspicion falls on City Lord Yuta, Yuta suddenly transforms and attacks. The supposed city lord is revealed to be Prison Stone Demon Ancestor, the second World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform. It seizes two nearby Saint-Level city lords and begins breaking free of the formation restraining it.

Character developments

  • Luo Feng is now a Fifth-Origin Supreme, and his rapid rise astonishes even the realm’s most powerful figures. He remains composed and focused on assessing the gathering’s strongest fighters.

  • The Myriad Realms Venerable demonstrates the power and importance of his Turbid World, which he and She Chuan created as a safeguard against infiltrators.

Character interactions

  • The gathered Supremes exchange wary looks and assess one another, with many reacting in disbelief to Luo Feng’s breakthrough.
  • Xiao Wangtian briefs the assembly and delegates the possession test to the Myriad Realms Venerable.

Significant themes

  • Infiltration and distrust: Even a city lord may be a disguised enemy, making unity difficult.
  • Duty in a crisis: The leaders must defend their last line of defense while key figures are absent or dead.
  • Power and rapid change: Luo Feng’s sudden advancement contrasts with the long-established hierarchy—and the threat proves greater than the gathered leaders expected.

  • The group unleashes a powerful barrage of attacks, including:
    • Myriad Realms Venerable’s Space Shuttles and bead treasure
    • City Lord Miao Qing’s water-domain treasure
    • Qiansi Luoshan’s spear
    • Frost Lord’s freezing technique
    • Xiao Wangtian’s powerful axe strike
    • Luo Feng’s enhanced Shooting Star Shadow
  • Prison Stone Demon Ancestor blocks or deflects most attacks with an ancient stone staff. His strength is amplified by a mysterious bloodline power that appears even more formidable than his Origin Power.
  • Although the combined assault forces him into a difficult position and occasionally injures him, his World-Level Hunyuan body withstands the attacks without being seriously damaged.
  • Realizing physical attacks are insufficient, Myriad Realms Venerable orders everyone to target Prison Stone Demon Ancestor’s soul.
  • The soul attacks, including Luo Feng’s Heaven-Piercing Thorn combined with Lie Yuan Technique, appear powerful enough to threaten even a Ninth-Origin Supreme. However, Prison Stone Demon Ancestor’s body contains many tower-shaped beings that absorb the attacks and act as decoys for his true soul.
  • With both physical and soul attacks proving ineffective, Prison Stone Demon Ancestor attempts to flee beyond Yuan City’s formation, where he would be much harder to suppress.
  • Xiao Wangtian orders the others to prevent his escape. Myriad Realms Venerable asks Luo Feng to use his Palace-type Supreme Treasure, Star Tower, to seal and contain the enemy.
  • Luo Feng expands Star Tower into a massive golden pagoda, preparing to help trap Prison Stone Demon Ancestor.

Character Developments

  • Luo Feng demonstrates a major increase in strength after becoming a Supreme. His transformed body and will allow him to control more Blade Intent, making his Shooting Star Shadow stronger than attacks from some established God-Level City Lords.
  • His willpower, enhanced by Origin Power, now rivals that of a Seventh Source Supreme. His combined soul attack is presented as powerful enough to trouble even a Ninth-Origin Supreme.
  • Prison Stone Demon Ancestor is shown to be extraordinarily resilient. His World-Level Hunyuan status places him above ordinary Hunyuan Lifeforms, allowing him to endure the coordinated assault of many Supremes.
  • His strange body is revealed to contain numerous tower-shaped soul-bearing entities, making conventional soul attacks nearly useless.
  • Myriad Realms Venerable acts as a battlefield strategist, quickly recognizing the failure of physical and soul attacks and directing the group toward sealing Prison Stone Demon Ancestor.
  • Bahe Supreme uses his authority as acting city lord to control Yuan City’s formation and assist in restraining the invader.
  • Mo Hanshan realizes that Luo Feng has completely surpassed him in strength.

Significant Themes

  • The limits of numerical superiority: Even a large group of powerful Supremes struggles to defeat a single World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform.
  • Evolution and breakthrough: Luo Feng’s rapid growth emphasizes how changes in body, will, and mastery of techniques can dramatically increase combat power.
  • Unorthodox defenses: Prison Stone Demon Ancestor’s decoy souls illustrate how unusual abilities can nullify supposedly decisive attacks.
  • Cooperation against a greater threat: The Source World’s strongest figures set aside individual rivalries to fight a dangerous invader from Outer Chaos Life.
  • Containment versus destruction: Since direct attacks cannot kill Prison Stone Demon Ancestor, the battle shifts toward restraining or sealing him.

Important Character Interactions

  • Xiao Wangtian repeatedly commands the group and pushes the attack, insisting that Prison Stone Demon Ancestor must not escape.
  • Myriad Realms Venerable coordinates the assault and later asks Luo Feng to provide Star Tower for the sealing attempt.
  • Luo Feng’s attack shocks the other Supremes, particularly Mo Hanshan, who recognizes Luo Feng’s superiority.
  • Prison Stone Demon Ancestor remains calm and contemptuous throughout the battle, criticizing the attackers internally while searching for assistance from allies such as Chigu River and Heavenly Roaming God Venerable.
  • The chapter ends with the allied Supremes regrouping around Luo Feng’s Star Tower, preparing a new attempt to trap their nearly unstoppable enemy.

Chapter Summary: “Despair”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Luo Feng reveals the Star Tower, whose overwhelming power identifies it as a legendary Hunyuan Spirit Treasure, comparable to the one possessed by She Chuan. Its appearance shocks the gathered Supremes and awakens their greed, though Luo Feng is confident enough to display it openly.
  • Luo Feng uses the Star Tower to suppress and seal the Prison Stone Demon Ancestor, while Xiao Wangtian and the other Supremes attack him within the Yuan City formation.
  • The Prison Stone Demon Ancestor reveals a terrifying defensive ability: dark-gray flames that burn through spacetime and weaken the Supremes’ control and attacks. His World-Level Hunyuan power also allows him to resist the Star Tower’s sealing force.
  • The battle intensifies when Xiao Wangtian burns two streams of origin power, risking severe damage or death to prevent the enemy’s escape. The Frost Lord and the other Supremes similarly unleash their strongest techniques.
  • Xiao Wangtian’s full-power axe strike forces the Prison Stone Demon Ancestor to confront him directly. Their weapons clash with enough force to destroy the surrounding spacetime, throwing back both combatants and everyone nearby.
  • Realizing that the Star Tower might eventually seal him, the Prison Stone Demon Ancestor decides to burn his origin bloodline and flee. Despite the combined attacks of the Supremes, Luo Feng’s Star Tower, City Lord Moyang’s Crimson Chain, the Myriad Realms Venerable’s binding treasure, and the Yuan City formation, they cannot hold him.
  • The Prison Stone Demon Ancestor strengthens his gray flames, nullifies or weakens the surrounding suppression, breaks through the formation, and escapes into the void. The Supremes are left unable to stop him.

Character Developments and Interactions

  • Luo Feng demonstrates growing confidence and authority by openly wielding the Star Tower. He works closely with the Supremes but is alarmed when even the Hunyuan Spirit Treasure fails to seal the Prison Stone Demon Ancestor.
  • Xiao Wangtian emerges as the most self-sacrificing figure in the battle. He knowingly burns his origin power and repeatedly confronts the enemy at close range, prioritizing the survival of the God Realm over his own safety.
  • The Prison Stone Demon Ancestor shifts from arrogant confidence to genuine panic when Xiao Wangtian and the Star Tower threaten to trap him. However, his superior strength, gray-flame ability, and decisive willingness to burn his origin bloodline ultimately allow him to escape.
  • The Frost Lord supports Xiao Wangtian by using extreme cold to hinder the enemy, but even his freezing domain proves ineffective against the gray flames.
  • The Myriad Realms Venerable, City Lord Miao Qing, City Lord Moyang, Qiansi Luoshan, Bahe Supreme, and the other Supremes cooperate fully, combining binding, freezing, formation, and offensive techniques. Their unity and willingness to risk everything still fail to overcome the Prison Stone Demon Ancestor.
  • The Prison Stone Demon Ancestor openly vows to remember the Supremes’ assault, establishing future hostility and emphasizing that the battle has created a lasting grudge.

Significant Themes

  • Despair and helplessness: The chapter’s central theme is the realization that the God Realm’s combined strength cannot defeat even one invading Chaos Lifeform.
  • Sacrifice and resolve: Xiao Wangtian’s decision to burn his origin power shows the extreme cost required to protect the realm.
  • The limits of power: Even a legendary Hunyuan Spirit Treasure and the combined might of many Supremes are insufficient against a World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform.
  • Unity against overwhelming threats: The Supremes fight as one, but their cooperation only delays the enemy rather than securing victory.
  • Foreshadowing of a larger crisis: With at least two more beings of similar strength expected and She Chuan trapped, the escape signals that the coming conflict may be catastrophic for the God Realm.

Overall Significance

The chapter marks a major defeat for the God Realm. Although the Supremes briefly gain the advantage and nearly seal the Prison Stone Demon Ancestor, his escape proves that the invading Chaos Lifeforms are far more powerful than anticipated. The characters are left facing not merely a difficult battle, but an existential crisis with no clear defender capable of matching the enemy.

Ch. 433Origin-Guard Token

Chapter Summary: “Origin-Guard Token”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Prison Stone Demon Ancestor escapes Yuan City’s array despite Xiao Wangtian burning two portions of his origin power to suppress him. The battle leaves Yuan City’s defenders weakened and demoralized.
  • The defenders worry about the looming threat posed by Prison Stone Demon Ancestor, Yemo, Chigu River, and the possible return of He Tianxun. She Chuan, their strongest protection, remains trapped after fighting He Tianxun.
  • Qiansi Luoshan pressures Luo Feng to surrender Star Tower, his Hunyuan Spirit Treasure, so a stronger Supreme can wield it against the World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms.
  • Luo Feng firmly refuses, declaring that Star Tower is his Life-Bound Supreme Treasure and will remain in his hands. Frost Lord and Jiushan support him, while Xiao Wangtian ultimately confirms that the treasure belongs to Luo Feng.
  • She Chuan reveals Yuan City’s strongest defensive measure: the Origin-Guard Token. Once the city’s ultimate killing array activates, each token allows its bearer to draw on the array’s power and temporarily reach strength approaching that of a World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform for ten minutes.
  • Chigu River is gathering a massive Chaos Life army beneath the Chaos Abyss. Once the army reaches sufficient strength, it will attempt to break through the abyss and invade with the Primal Chaos Currents.
  • The Supremes refine their tokens and are transported to defensive positions throughout the Fourth-Section Yuan City. She Chuan’s clone assigns them their duties while his true body remains trapped.
  • Luo Feng, Jiushan, and Flame-Eccentric True Lord are stationed under Bahe Supreme’s command. They observe the enormous defensive array sealing the Chaos Abyss.
  • Jiushan raises a new suspicion: the attack on Abyss-Sealing Palace may have begun specifically when She Chuan left, suggesting that the invaders’ true objective may be something other than simply entering the Source World.

Character Developments

  • Xiao Wangtian suffers a major loss of strength after burning two portions of his origin power, but remains responsible and focused on protecting the Source World. He also defends Luo Feng’s right to keep Star Tower.
  • Luo Feng demonstrates confidence, resolve, and independence. He rejects the Supremes’ attempt to claim Star Tower and openly criticizes Qiansi Luoshan for refusing to sacrifice his own origin power during the previous battle.
  • Qiansi Luoshan reveals ambition and opportunism by seeking control of Star Tower after failing to contribute fully during the fight. His conflict with Luo Feng becomes openly hostile.
  • She Chuan remains trapped but continues directing the defense through his Divine Power Clone. He entrusts the Source World’s survival to the other Supremes and promises to escape and return.
  • Myriad Realms Venerable takes on a coordinating role, helping organize the defenders and transport them to their assigned posts.
  • Jiushan displays caution and strategic insight by questioning the enemy’s apparent motives.
  • Frost Lord and Jiushan strengthen their alliance with Luo Feng by defending his ownership of Star Tower.

Significant Themes

  • Ownership and personal achievement: Star Tower’s status as Luo Feng’s Life-Bound Treasure establishes that power and sacrifice do not automatically justify taking another person’s possession.
  • Sacrifice versus self-interest: Xiao Wangtian’s willingness to burn his origin power contrasts sharply with Qiansi Luoshan’s reluctance to pay a comparable price.
  • Collective survival and trust: The defenders must cooperate despite internal rivalries, weakening morale, and disagreements over resources.
  • Preparation against overwhelming danger: The Origin-Guard Tokens and Yuan City’s array represent the defenders’ final coordinated strategy against the invading Chaos Lives.
  • Hidden enemy motives: Jiushan’s suspicion introduces the possibility that the invasion is part of a larger plan, with the Chaos Abyss or Abyss-Sealing Palace serving as a means to obtain something more important.

Character Interactions

  • Xiao Wangtian, Myriad Realms Venerable, and City Lord Miao Qing discuss the consequences of Prison Stone Demon Ancestor’s escape and the threat posed by the other enemies.
  • Qiansi Luoshan confronts Luo Feng over Star Tower, prompting Luo Feng to accuse him of avoiding sacrifice during the earlier battle.
  • Frost Lord and Jiushan openly support Luo Feng and mock Qiansi Luoshan’s demand.
  • Xiao Wangtian ends the dispute by affirming Luo Feng’s ownership of Star Tower.
  • She Chuan instructs the Supremes about the Origin-Guard Tokens and entrusts them with defending Yuan City.
  • At their assigned post, Luo Feng, Jiushan, and Flame-Eccentric True Lord discuss the array and the possible hidden purpose behind the enemy’s attack.

Ch. 434He Tianxun's Goal

Key plot points

  • Luo Feng, the Flame-Eccentric True Lord, and Jiushan suspect He Tianxun is helping the Outer Chaos Life attack the Hunyuan Divine Realm, possibly to leave it vulnerable by removing She Chuan.
  • Luo Feng recalls that a mysterious force inside him was activated after he found the Soul-Origin Flower. He suspects it came from He Tianxun and may explain why God Emperor Jun Hao abruptly withdrew.
  • Using the Star Tower to suppress Meng Yuan, Luo Feng enslaves him with a Soul Lock flower. Meng Yuan confirms the force came from Heavenly Roaming God Venerable: Jun Hao believed Luo Feng was part of the Venerable’s plan and dared not harm him.
  • The chapter reveals that He Tianxun is indeed Heavenly Roaming God Venerable, who possessed He Tianxun and has been rebuilding his power. He plans to spread worship across the Source World, obtain the Emperor’s inheritance, kill She Chuan, and rule as the world’s sole god.
  • He Tianxun and his allies believe the defenders are weak without She Chuan and intend to deal with Luo Feng as well.
  • The Chaos Abyss formation comes under an even fiercer assault. The defenders fear it may soon fail, unleashing an invasion that could transform the Hunyuan Divine Realm into another Chaos Abyss.

Character developments and interactions

  • Luo Feng demonstrates his increased power by enslaving Meng Yuan, then shares the revelation with Jiushan and the Flame-Eccentric True Lord. He remains alert to the danger He Tianxun poses.
  • Meng Yuan shifts from prisoner to compelled informant, confirming the identity and influence of the force inside Luo Feng.
  • He Tianxun / Heavenly Roaming God Venerable is exposed as a patient, ambitious possessor who deliberately weakened himself to adapt to the Source World and build a faith-based system.
  • Yemo and Prison Stone Demon Ancestor support He Tianxun and discuss his strategy, strength, and plans to kill She Chuan.
  • The defenders—including Luo Feng, Jiushan, the Flame-Eccentric True Lord, and other Supremes—recognize that the assault is escalating and gather to assess the failing defenses.

Significant themes

  • Hidden identities and manipulation: He Tianxun’s apparent role conceals a long-term plan and a powerful possessor.
  • Power, faith, and rule: He Tianxun seeks authority not only through strength but through widespread worship.
  • Vulnerability and dependence: The defenders’ confidence hinges heavily on She Chuan, while the weakening formation leaves their world exposed.
  • Looming catastrophe: Even victory in battle may not prevent lasting damage if the Chaos Abyss is breached.

Ch. 435Breakthrough

Chapter Summary: “Breaking Through”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Twelve Supremes, led by Bahe Supreme and including Luo Feng, Jiushan, and the weakened Flame-Eccentric True Lord, gather at the mouth of the Chaos Abyss to defend Yuan City.
  • The Outer Chaos Life launch a massive assault, repeatedly bombarding the Abyss entrance until they break through the Sealing Space.
  • A tremendous torrent of Primal Chaos Currents, debris, meteorites, and hidden Chaos Life pours into the Hunyuan Divine Realm. The pressure difference between the Chaos Abyss and the Divine Realm makes the influx extraordinarily destructive.
  • Yuan City is shaken, defensive formations are destroyed, and Bahe orders everyone to retreat. The Supremes realize that the breach may remain open long enough for the Divine Realm’s environment to become more favorable to Chaos Life.
  • As the torrent weakens and the Source World begins repairing the breach, Yuan City’s four sections merge and activate a hidden ultimate killing array.
  • The array annihilates the incoming currents, debris, and many weaker Chaos Life. Its power shocks Luo Feng and the other Supremes.
  • Bahe explains that the array cannot be turned off at will, so the Supremes must use its remaining power to hunt the invaders while they are still suppressed by the Source World.
  • After the first devastating sweep scares away the more cautious enemies, additional Chaos Life begin entering the Divine Realm, many clinging to continental fragments. Bahe leads the Supremes into battle.
  • Luo Feng identifies a nearby invading creature and charges toward it with his servants, Moyin and Meng Yuan, preparing to kill it.

Character Developments

  • Luo Feng demonstrates increasing confidence and power. He recognizes the danger of the breach, remains composed during the crisis, and takes an active role in the counterattack.
  • Bahe Supreme acts as the strategic leader, coordinating the retreat, explaining the consequences of the breach, and timing the offensive once the torrent weakens.
  • Jiushan acknowledges that Luo Feng’s strength has rapidly caught up with his own, showing Luo Feng’s remarkable growth.
  • Flame-Eccentric True Lord, having already burned one of his sources, admits that his strength has greatly declined and resolves to fight cautiously.
  • Luo Feng and Flame-Eccentric display mutual concern: Luo Feng specifically warns Flame-Eccentric and Jiushan not to stray too far, promising to protect them if necessary.
  • Luo Feng’s decision to summon Moyin and Meng Yuan emphasizes his readiness to fight personally and use every available resource.

Significant Themes

  • Defense of one’s world: The Supremes treat the Hunyuan Divine Realm as their homeland and are determined to eliminate any invader.
  • The danger of environmental change: The breach is threatening not only through direct attacks but also by allowing Primal Chaos Currents to accumulate and weaken the Source World’s suppression of Chaos Life.
  • Preparation versus overwhelming force: Yuan City’s hidden array reveals the importance of long-term preparation and strategic patience.
  • Power and growth: Luo Feng’s rapid advancement is highlighted through Jiushan’s recognition of his strength and Luo Feng’s willingness to lead the attack.
  • Unity in crisis: The Supremes coordinate their movements, protect weaker allies, and act together against an enemy vastly greater in number.

Character Interactions

  • Bahe commands the Supremes and explains both the threat posed by the breach and the opportunity created by the weakening torrent.
  • Luo Feng, Jiushan, and Flame-Eccentric discuss their relative strengths, with Luo Feng taking responsibility for protecting the two older allies.
  • The Supremes collectively react with shock to Yuan City’s ultimate array and then follow Bahe into the offensive.
  • Luo Feng summons Moyin and Meng Yuan before engaging an invading Chaos Life, marking the beginning of the direct battle.

Ch. 436Three World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms

Chapter Summary: “Three World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Luo Feng begins hunting the Primal Chaos Lifeforms pouring through the breach from the Chaos Abyss. He quickly seals several weaker invaders inside the Star Tower, including one that flees upon sensing him.
  • Flame-Eccentric True Lord calls for Luo Feng’s assistance against a powerful, extremely fast pterosaur-like lifeform. Because Flame-Eccentric has already weakened himself by burning part of his origin, he cannot easily defeat opponents above the Fourth Source Supreme level. Luo Feng arrives and suppresses the creature with the Star Tower’s Devouring Domain.
  • The Supremes continue defending the Hunyuan Divine Realm, but the strongest invaders remain hidden inside the Chaos Abyss. Since Yuan City’s ultimate array can function for only one day, the defenders cannot risk entering the Abyss.
  • The breach remains open for several days, though the Source World gradually repairs it. As Primal Chaos Currents accumulate inside the realm, the environment increasingly favors the invaders and becomes dangerous even for God Kings.
  • On the eighth day, just before the breach is fully repaired, the Chaos Abyss violently tears open again. Numerous Primal Chaos Lifeforms emerge, including more than a dozen powerful beings. The strongest is Chigu River, a gigantic serpent whose aura nearly matches Prison Stone Demon Ancestor’s.
  • As the Supremes move to intercept the invaders, two overwhelming auras descend: Prison Stone Demon Ancestor, who has apparently recovered his strength, and Yemo, whose true body has entered the Source World without suffering its normal suppression.
  • Yemo is revealed to be a World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform. His body creates a self-contained world that blocks the Source World’s influence, while Prison Stone Demon Ancestor remains similarly powerful. Together with Chigu River, they form a terrifying group of three World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms.
  • Although the invaders discuss killing the Supremes, Yemo admits privately that he cannot yet unleash his full power without risking suppression. They decide to withdraw temporarily, allowing themselves time to adapt and seek methods of further resisting the Source World.
  • Xiao Wangtian orders the defenders to prepare their cities for possible massacres. Since the invaders may need the souls of the Source World’s inhabitants to integrate fully, civilians are to be moved into Inner Universes or reinforced God-Level Cities.

Character Developments

  • Luo Feng demonstrates overwhelming strength against ordinary Primal Chaos Lifeforms and proves capable of rescuing Flame-Eccentric True Lord from a much stronger opponent. However, he recognizes that he is not yet able to challenge the World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms or enter the Chaos Abyss.
  • Flame-Eccentric True Lord is shown to have been significantly weakened after burning part of his origin. He now relies on Luo Feng against powerful enemies and avoids wasting his Origin-Guard Token.
  • Prison Stone Demon Ancestor has recovered his former terrifying level of strength, alarming the defenders.
  • Yemo reveals both his immense power and his limitations. His unique body can resist the Source World’s suppression, but he still cannot freely use all his strength. He is calculating and focused on long-term conquest rather than an immediate battle.
  • Chigu River emerges as another World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform. Despite being powerful, he is mocked by Yemo for appearing weakened and is portrayed as cautious and opportunistic.
  • Xiao Wangtian shifts from active defense to strategic preparation, recognizing that the immediate threat cannot be defeated without She Chuan or He Tianxun.

Significant Themes

  • Escalation of the invasion: The conflict moves from battles against individual invaders to a crisis involving three World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms.
  • Preparation versus reckless confrontation: The defenders understand that charging into the Chaos Abyss or fighting the new arrivals directly would be suicidal. Survival and preparation become their priorities.
  • Environmental advantage and adaptation: The dense Primal Chaos Currents weaken the Source World’s suppression and give the invaders a favorable battlefield. Both sides must adapt to changing conditions.
  • Power growth and limitations: Luo Feng is powerful enough to dominate most opponents but remains outmatched by the highest-level beings, emphasizing that his growth is ongoing rather than instantaneous.
  • Strategic patience: Yemo and Prison Stone Demon Ancestor deliberately withdraw instead of forcing a battle, intending to adapt, exploit the inhabitants’ souls, and eventually integrate into the Source World.
  • The vulnerability of ordinary inhabitants: The invaders’ potential need for souls turns the cities and their populations into strategic targets, forcing the Supremes to protect civilians as well as themselves.

Important Character Interactions

  • Luo Feng responds immediately to Flame-Eccentric True Lord’s request and saves him from the pterosaur-like invader.
  • Yemo taunts Chigu River about his weakened condition, while Chigu River accuses Yemo of benefiting from Tianyou’s assistance.
  • Yemo privately admits to Prison Stone Demon Ancestor that he is not yet able to use his full strength, revealing a more cautious side beneath his confident exterior.
  • Yemo and Prison Stone Demon Ancestor agree to delay their assault, valuing adaptation and future conquest over an uncertain immediate battle.
  • Xiao Wangtian and the other Supremes are intimidated by the three World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms and decide not to pursue them.
  • Xiao Wangtian urges the defenders to evacuate civilians into Inner Universes or God-Level Cities, preparing for the invaders’ eventual attempt to slaughter inhabitants and seize their souls.
    Author’s Note: The appended material is the author explaining a recent writing slump, defending the slower pace of Luo Feng’s power growth, and asking readers to be patient with the plot’s direction.

Ch. 437He Tianxun's Ultimate Ambition

Summary: “He Tianxun’s Ultimate Ambition”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • After the Chaos Life invades, the surviving Supremes realize they cannot resist without City Lord She Chuan, whose escape is their only hope.
  • Xiao Wangtian, the Myriad Realms Venerable, and the other Supremes repair the massive breach in the Chaos Abyss using the Space Origin. However, the God Realm remains increasingly inhospitable because of the intensified Primal Chaos Currents.
  • The various city lords return to their cities to prepare for possible attacks from Tianxun City. The Ice God Race is reorganized within the internal worlds of its Supremes for protection.
  • Luo Feng and the Frost Lord grow suspicious of Tianxun City’s strategy. Although Yemo and the other invaders are powerful enough to attack, they remain strangely inactive, suggesting they are confident She Chuan cannot escape.
  • Luo Feng discovers that the Tianxun Cult has spread across most of the Origin Continent and even into the Galaxy Empire. Its followers worship He Tianxun with fanatical devotion.
  • Jiushan explains that He Tianxun is using the power of faith to seize the fortune of the entire Source World. If enough beings worship him, he will become overwhelmingly powerful and potentially even defeat She Chuan.
  • Luo Feng and the others conclude that He Tianxun is actually Tianyou, a foreign being attempting to take control of their world.
  • Jiushan states that the only practical way to stop him is to kill him. Removing the faith from billions of followers would be impossible, especially since He Tianxun’s influence continues spreading.
  • Six months pass without news of either She Chuan or Tianxun City, creating an uneasy calm.
  • Tianxun City finally issues an ultimatum: factions have ten thousand years to ally with it. Those who remain neutral or resist after that period will be declared enemies and eliminated.

Character Developments

  • Luo Feng becomes increasingly decisive and determined. After learning that He Tianxun’s plan threatens both the Source World and humanity, he resolves to stop him personally.
  • The Frost Lord shifts from defensive preparation to recognizing the wider danger posed by He Tianxun’s faith-based plan. He accepts Luo Feng’s concerns and helps investigate them.
  • Jiushan provides the crucial explanation of the power of faith and identifies He Tianxun as likely being Tianyou.
  • He Tianxun/Tianyou is revealed to have a far greater ambition than simply supporting the invasion: he seeks to dominate and refine the entire Source World through mass worship.
  • She Chuan remains trapped and absent, causing the allied factions to lose confidence and making the political situation increasingly unstable.

Significant Themes

  • Faith as power and control: Religious devotion is transformed into a weapon that can increase He Tianxun’s strength and allow him to control the world’s fortune.
  • Psychological warfare and surrender: Tianxun City relies not only on military strength but also on fear, uncertainty, and the possibility of peaceful coexistence to pressure factions into submission.
  • Hope versus despair: She Chuan’s continued absence weakens the defenders’ morale, while He Tianxun’s growing influence makes resistance seem increasingly hopeless.
  • Invasion and domination: The conflict is not merely about territory; it concerns who will control the Source World and whether its countless inhabitants will retain their freedom.
  • The cost of leadership: Luo Feng recognizes that inaction could lead to catastrophe and accepts the burden of confronting He Tianxun.

Character Interactions

  • The Supremes cooperate to repair the Chaos Abyss, then separate to defend their respective cities.
  • Luo Feng and the Frost Lord discuss the invaders’ suspicious inactivity and the possibility that She Chuan may never escape.
  • Luo Feng brings the spread of the Tianxun Cult to the Frost Lord, who suggests consulting Jiushan.
  • At Nine Truth City, Luo Feng, the Frost Lord, and Jiushan combine their knowledge to identify He Tianxun’s true objective and conclude that killing him is the only viable solution.
  • Tianxun City’s ultimatum forces every faction to choose between alliance, resistance, or eventual destruction, sharply escalating the conflict.

Ch. 438The Fusion of Origin Powers

Chapter Summary: “The Fusion of Origin Powers”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • After Tianxun City issues a ten-thousand-year deadline before an inevitable conflict, fear of Yemo, the Prison Stone Demon Ancestor, and Chigu River causes some powerful figures to consider surrendering.
  • Luo Feng ignores the political situation and focuses on increasing his strength before the deadline. As a newly advanced Supreme, he realizes that his control over his five Origin Powers—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—is still limited.
  • He experiments with combining Origin Powers and successfully fuses Metal and Water, then adds Wood, Fire, and Earth. The result is a powerful new energy he names Basic Chaos Origin Power.
  • Luo Feng attempts to merge Space Origin Power with it, but the fusion fails because he has not formed a Space Origin Heart and is only borrowing Space Origin Power from the greater world.
  • He then discovers that the five corresponding Origin Hearts within his Origin Sea can also merge. As each heart fuses, the five Origin Powers begin merging automatically.
  • Once all five Origin Hearts unite, Basic Chaos Origin Power surges through Luo Feng’s body, dramatically strengthening him. His physical strength more than doubles, potentially allowing him to kill a Fourth-Source Supreme with a single punch.
  • The power then causes his Inner Universe to expand to twice its previous size and begins transforming his soul. The chapter ends with Luo Feng awaiting the completion of his soul’s evolution and reflecting on the possible role of his Perfect Gene.

Character Development

  • Luo Feng demonstrates exceptional initiative and creativity by pursuing a possibility never recorded in the secret histories: the fusion of Origin Powers.
  • His understanding of Origin Mysteries allows him to accomplish the fusion effortlessly, revealing that his comprehension and potential exceed those of ordinary Supremes.
  • His breakthrough greatly improves his body, Inner Universe, and soul, marking a major qualitative leap in strength.
  • Luo Feng begins to suspect that his Perfect Gene is responsible for enabling this unprecedented fusion and may be crucial to reaching the ultimate level of cultivation.
  • Although initially limited by his lack of time and experience as a Supreme, he turns that disadvantage into an opportunity through experimentation.

Significant Themes

  • Innovation beyond established knowledge: Luo Feng advances by challenging the limits of recorded cultivation methods rather than relying solely on existing teachings.
  • Hidden potential and uniqueness: His Perfect Gene may allow him to accomplish feats impossible for other Supremes.
  • Strength gained through fusion and unity: Separate Origin Powers and Origin Hearts become vastly more powerful when combined.
  • Urgency versus long-term cultivation: The ten-thousand-year deadline creates pressure, forcing Luo Feng to seek rapid breakthroughs instead of relying on gradual mastery.
  • Transformation and evolution: The fusion strengthens not only Luo Feng’s energy but also his body, soul, and Inner Universe.

Character Interactions

  • Direct interpersonal interaction is limited in this chapter. Luo Feng’s main external relationship is with the hostile forces represented by Tianxun City, Yemo, the Prison Stone Demon Ancestor, and Chigu River, whose looming threat motivates his cultivation.
  • Luo Feng also mentally draws on Senior Xiang Wei’s earlier remarks about the Perfect Gene, using them to interpret the significance of his breakthrough.
  • Most of the chapter focuses on Luo Feng’s internal experimentation and his interaction with his own Origin Hearts, Origin Sea, body, soul, and Inner Universe.

Ch. 439Entering the Ruins of Return

Plot points and events

  • After becoming a Fifth-Origin Supreme, Luo Feng tests his new strength in the Star Tower’s Abyss World. His punches repeatedly shatter spacetime, and his Shooting Star Shadow blade strike devastates most of the world.
  • He estimates that his blade strike is at least comparable to Xiao Wangtian’s attack while burning two Origin Powers, putting him near Prison Stone Demon Ancestor’s level—but still short of the full strength of a World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform such as City Lord She Chuan.
  • With less than ten thousand years before Tianxun City acts, Luo Feng decides to seek the later stages of the Path of Evolving Heaven in the Ruins of Return, hoping they may help him oppose He Tianxun.
  • Before departing, he uses Nine-Heart Lotus and High-Level Hunyuan Lifeform blood essence to strengthen his nine remaining clones. After a hundred years, all nine successfully reach the Supreme Realm.
  • Luo Feng enters the Ruins of Return and advances far beyond his previous limit. The region’s distances seem distorted, and its growing force of death begins to drain his life force and strain his soul.
  • Just as he pushes through the final stretch, gravity suddenly forces him to the ground. The deathly power disappears, revealing an endless dark land beneath a star-filled sky and a radiant river of stars.

Character developments

  • Luo Feng has undergone a dramatic rise in strength, but remains clear-eyed about his limits. He sees further growth in improving his Blade Intent, controlling Origin Power, and mastering the Path of Evolving Heaven.
  • He is increasingly determined and willing to take calculated risks: he prepares his clones for future cultivation, enters a deadly forbidden land, and keeps moving despite its effects on his life force and soul.

Character interactions

  • Luo Feng briefly says farewell to Frost Lord before leaving.
  • Xiang Wei’s earlier assessment—that the Ruins’ deathly force would not affect Luo Feng as much after his breakthrough—proves broadly correct, though the deepest region still begins to affect him.
  • Luo Feng’s strength is measured against the feats of Xiao Wangtian, Prison Stone Demon Ancestor, and City Lord She Chuan, whose power defines the challenge ahead.

Significant themes

  • Growth and limits: Luo Feng’s breakthrough brings a major leap in power, but he recognizes that he has not yet reached the highest tier.
  • Preparation under pressure: The approaching threat from Tianxun City and He Tianxun drives his training and choices.
  • Risk and perseverance: Luo Feng’s progress depends on entering dangerous territory and enduring forces that test both body and soul.
  • The value of cultivation and knowledge: The later stages of the Path of Evolving Heaven may hold the key to reaching the strength he needs.

Ch. 440Possibility

Key plot points and events

  • Luo Feng enters a vast starry realm dominated by an immense river of stars. He recognizes it as the River of Time, though it contains motion without any actual passage of time.
  • By focusing on one star-like point, he witnesses the complete life of Helong—from birth and a happy family life to his death defending his tribe. Luo Feng realizes the points of light are soul fragments preserving memories.
  • He searches among the countless fragments for his son, Luo Hai (Xiao Hai), but cannot find him. The realm’s immense gravity prevents him from flying up to reach the lights.
  • Looking down, Luo Feng notices mysterious Secret Pattern Diagrams carved into the blackstone ground. His consciousness is drawn into them, revealing an endless, ordered arrangement of diagrams resembling gene patterns and the principles of the Path of Evolving Heaven.
  • Luo Feng realizes he is seeing the technique’s complete evolutionary framework—but also perceives that it contains a flaw, tied to an unknown level of life.
  • A message from Yuan explains that the Path of Evolving Heaven is a theory about breaking the limits of life within a Source World, not a guaranteed route. Reaching the Lord realm ultimately requires a being to rely on its own inner power and break through those limits.
  • Luo Feng understands that Yuan has left him the process of deduction, not a finished technique beyond the Supreme Realm. He must develop and perfect that next step himself.

Character developments and interactions

  • Luo Feng moves from wonder and grief-driven hope to focused resolve. He searches for his son, confronts the uncertainty of Yuan’s legacy, and decides that the Path of Evolving Heaven is his only chance to grow stronger.
  • Helong appears through the memories preserved in his soul fragment: a devoted family man and respected warrior who dies protecting his tribe.
  • Yuan communicates through the message embedded in the diagrams. He is revealed as the originator of the Path of Evolving Heaven, but also as someone who regarded it as a speculative possibility rather than a certain solution.
  • Luo Feng’s thoughts turn to the looming threat of He Tianxun, whose growing faith power may soon make him invincible, and She Chuan, who may not be able to defeat him. This leaves Luo Feng feeling that he must rely on himself.

Significant themes

  • Life, death, and memory: The stars preserve the lives and memories of the dead, suggesting that individual lives remain part of a vast cosmic record.
  • Possibility versus certainty: Yuan’s technique offers a possible path beyond the Source World’s limits, but success depends on Luo Feng’s own insight and effort.
  • Self-reliance and transcendence: Breaking through to a higher realm cannot be granted by a technique or Source World alone; it requires inner strength.
  • Urgency and sacrifice: With a formidable enemy rising and little time to improve, Luo Feng is prepared to stake everything on an uncertain breakthrough.
