Chapter Summaries

Chapter 159 Summary

Key events

• Luo Feng now commands ten God Kings, whom he names the Galaxy Guards, along with Morosa. Their combined strength is enough to establish an empire, though the main obstacle is finding enough people to populate it.
• He has begun rebuilding the Jin Empire by bringing races from the Star Tower and the God Kings’ Inner Universes to Jin City. Luo Feng hopes that, one day, the city can also become a home for Humanity from the Universe Ocean.
• After two and a half months, Mountain Guest arrives. Seeing the rebuilt Jin Empire and Jin City—whose layout recalls the Milky Way—he is moved to tears. Food Country, the enemy that destroyed his kingdom and killed his loved ones, is gone, and he can finally set down that burden.
• Luo Feng welcomes his teacher, and they share a feast and wine at the Galaxy Residence.

Character developments and interactions

• Luo Feng is consolidating his power but sees the Jin Empire as more than a political achievement: it fulfills Mountain Guest’s wish and may eventually serve Humanity.
• Mountain Guest, now reincarnated as Shang Yi Jin, carries the complete memories of the Jin God King. His relief at Food Country’s destruction is mixed with grief and loneliness: he is the last survivor of Jin Kingdom.
• Their reunion is affectionate and informal. Luo Feng is surprised by Mountain Guest’s human appearance, while Mountain Guest jokes about how much he resembles an Earthling. They discuss humanity’s potential, Mountain Guest’s unsuccessful pursuit of Perfect Genes, and Luo Feng’s extraordinary achievements.
• Mountain Guest asks how Luo Feng survived the attack by a hundred God Kings. He had feared even Morosa might be overwhelmed, but the Haotian Mirror gave him some reassurance. Luo Feng credits the Star Tower, which his teacher gave him, for helping him survive.

Significant themes

• Loss and remembrance: Mountain Guest preserves memories of his wife, children, teacher, and ministers even as he accepts that Jin Kingdom is gone.
• Rebuilding and legacy: The revived Jin City transforms a destroyed kingdom into a possible foundation for the future.
• Teacher and disciple: Their reunion emphasizes mutual affection, gratitude, and respect, alongside playful familiarity.
• Potential and ambition: Mountain Guest’s reflections on humanity and Perfect Genes contrast human limitations with the possibility of extraordinary growth.

Key plot points

• Mountain Guest is surprised when Luo Feng calls the Star Tower an Origin Supreme Treasure. He recognizes that it has changed far beyond the God King-level treasure he originally forged, though it still lacks an Origin.
• Luo Feng shows him the mysterious golden gas he calls Chaotic Astral Aura, which the tower absorbed. Mountain Guest finds it unprecedented and discovers that it painfully repels him, while Luo Feng can handle it—something Luo Feng attributes to his complete bond with the tower.
• Luo Feng demonstrates the tower’s new abilities: its Ninefold Heavens span vast regions, and its Sealing and Devouring Forces can overpower even an ordinary God King. Mountain Guest judges it more powerful than a God King treasure and comparable in might to an Origin Supreme Treasure.
• Mountain Guest explains the distinction between Origin, Quasi-Origin, and God King Supreme Treasures, and discusses the Haotian Mirror’s potential and its former wielder, the Fallen Star God King.
• Luo Feng takes Mountain Guest into the tower to see the half-wing of a Golden Crow. The wing radiates the Fire Origin, intense ferocity, and a powerful Will Impact. Mountain Guest says it could help someone master the Fire Origin Mystery, but Luo Feng avoids deeper study because he is focused on fusing five Origins.
• Luo Feng asks how to extract the Golden Crow Blood still inside the wing. Mountain Guest says the task requires exceptionally powerful willpower, which he currently lacks. He offers to forge the wing into a powerful God King-level saber in exchange for a few drops of blood once he regains his God King body.

Character developments and interactions

• Luo Feng reveals the Star Tower’s transformation and trusts Mountain Guest enough to show both its power and the Golden Crow remains, while withholding fuller details about the mysterious gas. He remains committed to his planned five-Origin fusion rather than pursuing the Fire Origin further.
• Mountain Guest shifts from disbelief to amazement as he examines the tower. His expertise lets him explain its likely rank and the value of the Golden Crow wing; he also proposes a future exchange that could benefit them both.
• Their teacher-student relationship is marked by trust and familiarity: Mountain Guest asks to see the tower’s power, and Luo Feng willingly brings him inside and shares the rare treasure.

Significant themes

• Transformation and mystery: The Star Tower has become something beyond established categories, and the origin of the gas that changed it remains unknown.
• Power, knowledge, and limits: Even great treasures and rare materials demand the right strength, compatibility, or willpower to use.
• Trust and mutual benefit: Luo Feng shares valuable secrets with his teacher, while Mountain Guest offers his craft in return.
• Commitment to a chosen path: Luo Feng declines an enticing opportunity to study the Fire Origin because it could hinder his larger cultivation goal.

Key plot points

• Luo Feng shows Mountain Guest the Star Tower’s Nine Heavens World, whose scale and nature surpass the worlds inside most treasures.
• Luo Feng offers Mountain Guest the restored Jin Empire, but Mountain Guest declines: his family and people are gone, and he now wants freedom to explore the Origin Continent. He will stay for now until he regains a God King body.
• Mountain Guest explains that reviving the dead is nearly impossible. Only a God King who has mastered time might reverse death; an ancient alternative involves retrieving souls from the terrifying Ruins of Return, which no one has successfully entered and escaped. Luo Feng mourns Huge Axe, whose fate may be beyond recovery.
• Luo Feng keeps the Jin Empire, leaving its governance to one of his ten God Kings. Mountain Guest also declines Luo Feng’s offered treasures, confident in his own skill as an artifact refiner.
• With the Food Country conflict settled, Luo Feng turns to cultivation. His will reaches the God King level; he advances his Heaven-Piercing Thorn and divine-power technique, and can now study the Astral Dao Manual and investigate six Chaos Life remains for clues to fusing Origin Mysteries.
• News of Luo Feng’s victory over a hundred God Kings spreads. In the Chaos Land, people learn that “Galaxy” is Jinshan God King, commands a World Beast King and an army, and has become a formidable power. The most sensational implication is that World Beasts might be enslaved.
• At an inn in the Moguang Tribe, a Purple Moon Clan member is questioned about enslaving World Beasts. He avoids answering, troubled by his knowledge of Luo Feng and their enmity.

Character developments and interactions

• Mountain Guest has changed since his earlier life: having accepted the loss of his family and subjects, he no longer wants to rule and instead seeks personal freedom and exploration. His conversation with Luo Feng also reveals that even he has had to come to terms with irreversible loss.
• Luo Feng respects his teacher’s choice and keeps the empire rather than forcing it upon him. He is saddened by Huge Axe’s uncertain fate, but his attention shifts toward focused cultivation now that he is no longer under immediate threat.
• Purple Moon reacts bitterly when others raise the possibility of enslaving a World Beast. He suspects Luo Feng may be Jinshan God King reborn and fears the consequences of his past hostility.

Significant themes

• The limits of power and mortality: Even powerful beings may be impossible to revive, and loss must sometimes be accepted.
• Change and letting go: Mountain Guest’s transformation reflects how grief and time can alter a person’s priorities.
• Ambition and dangerous imitation: Luo Feng’s success inspires factions to seek World Beasts, potentially igniting new conflict.
• Cultivation and uncertainty: Luo Feng has new paths to pursue, but each—greater divine power, advanced techniques, and Origin Mystery fusion—remains difficult and unresolved.

Key plot points and events

• Jinshan God King (Luo Feng in disguise) is summoned from cultivation for the founding banquet of the Jin Empire, a major event that has drawn attention across the Chaos Land.
• More than a thousand God Kings attend, most through Divine Power Clones. They show Luo Feng respect, while he warmly greets them and memorizes the names of potential allies.
• Purple Wood God King of Tianmu Kingdom arrives with his immense aura deliberately unconcealed, prompting speculation that he may want Luo Feng’s treasures, especially the Golden Crow Corpse. Instead, he greets Luo Feng courteously and takes a seat beside him.
• Fire Spirit Phoenix, another powerful guest, is also present. Many attendees hope to obtain Golden Crow Blood from Luo Feng, which is extraordinarily rare and valuable.
• Silver Sha, the Primordial Hall Master of Humanity, arrives and asks to join Luo Feng’s table. Guests suspect he may want the Haotian Mirror, but he shows no hostility. Luo Feng welcomes him, emphasizing his own human connection.

Character developments

• Luo Feng/Jinshan God King presents himself confidently as the Jin Empire’s ruler, concealing his identity with his Perfect Gene. He balances authority with courtesy and uses the banquet to build relationships.
• Purple Wood God King makes a dramatic entrance but quickly adopts a respectful, conciliatory tone, recognizing Luo Feng as a rival worthy of regard.
• Silver Sha seeks a connection rather than confrontation, deliberately addressing Luo Feng as “Galaxy” and appealing to his human identity.

Character interactions

• Luo Feng and Purple Wood God King exchange respectful greetings, easing the tension created by Purple Wood’s imposing arrival.
• Luo Feng welcomes Silver Sha despite rumors that Humanity wants the Haotian Mirror, keeping the meeting cordial.
• The gathered God Kings socialize and seek alliances, while many angle for Luo Feng’s favor and access to Golden Crow Blood.

Significant themes

• Power and diplomacy: Even immense strength is best paired with restraint and respect.
• Reputation and influence: The scale of attendance demonstrates how quickly the restored Jin Empire has become a major power.
• Alliance-building and self-interest: The banquet is both a celebration and an opportunity for political ties and valuable trades.
• Identity and belonging: Silver Sha’s appeal to Luo Feng’s humanity introduces a personal bond alongside the political maneuvering.

Plot points and events

• Jinshan’s founding banquet culminates in a ceremony formally reestablishing the Jin Empire in Chaos Land. Jinshan inscribes “Jin Empire” on a colossal stele in Jin City.
• Mountain Guest is deeply moved by the restoration of his lost kingdom, mourning that its former people are gone and cannot witness its return. Luo Feng recognizes both his teacher’s grief and the affection behind his long efforts to nurture him.
• Many God Kings approach Luo Feng seeking golden crow blood, prized for strengthening fire affinity and improving physical defenses. He declines to set terms yet, telling them he will contact them when he knows what he wants.
• Fire Spirit Phoenix and Purple Wood God King each request a hundred drops. Luo Feng asks them to provide trade lists instead. Fire Spirit Phoenix’s list includes a Phoenix God Pearl, which could help someone below God King level reach the pearl’s original owner’s cultivation.
• Silver Sha, Humanity’s Primordial Hall Master, invites Luo Feng to join Humanity, hoping his strength will help protect its shrinking territory. Luo Feng refuses, citing his unresolved resentment toward God King Kuipo for her role in the encirclement at Star Sand River. He says he might reconsider if she personally knelt to apologize.

Character developments and interactions

• Mountain Guest’s emotional reaction reveals how deeply the Jin Kingdom’s destruction shaped him; rebuilding it fulfills his remaining purpose but cannot restore his lost home.
• Luo Feng acts as a confident, calculating host. He keeps control of negotiations, insists on choosing exchanges that genuinely interest him, and feels no obligation to join Humanity simply because his reincarnated body is human.
• Fire Spirit Phoenix is courteous and practical, offering a detailed trade list. Purple Wood presses harder and initially expects deference, but ultimately agrees to submit a list.
• Silver Sha approaches diplomatically, apologizing for Kuipo on her behalf, but cannot persuade Luo Feng to set aside his grievance.

Significant themes

• Loss and restoration: The Jin Empire’s return offers pride and continuity, but cannot bring back the people who once made it a home.
• Power and bargaining: Luo Feng’s valuable blood draws powerful God Kings, yet he retains leverage by setting the terms of any trade.
• Belonging and loyalty: Humanity claims Luo Feng as one of its own, but he rejects identity as sufficient grounds for allegiance; respect and personal accountability matter more.
• Unresolved resentment: Silver Sha’s apology cannot repair a wrong when the person responsible has not made amends herself.

Key plot points and events

• Silver Sha accepts Luo Feng’s refusal to take a leading role in Humanity, but Luo Feng promises to help the Primordial Hall Master once if Humanity faces a problem he cannot solve. He frames this as repayment for the Haotian Mirror and the Fallen Star God King, whose teachings and inheritance he still values.
• Silver Sha admits Humanity treated the Fallen Star Swordsman unfairly and invites Luo Feng to return whenever he wishes, even offering him leadership of Primordial Hall. He then leaves.
• Back in the Star Tower’s Origin Space, Luo Feng sets aside the Jin Empire’s administration and focuses on cultivation, especially the Astral Dao Manual and fusing Origins.
• He opens the first box of Chaos Life remains, but its overwhelming killing intent and Will Impact force him to close it immediately.
• The second box contains remains of a colossal spider-like Chaos Life. Its intricate patterns transform the surrounding power of heaven and earth into different Origin Powers. Luo Feng realizes the patterns embody the Chaos Origin and may reveal how to fuse the Origins.
• He studies the remains for ten thousand epochs, trying to understand their transformations. He discovers that even his control over time has no effect on the remains.
• Opening the third box, which contains a drop of dark golden blood, throws Luo Feng’s consciousness into a vision of true chaos. There, he sees a giant wielding a stone axe and cleaving through chaos, leaving him stunned and uncertain of what he is seeing.

Character developments

• Luo Feng remains independent of present-day Humanity, unwilling to spend his resources on people with whom he feels little connection. Yet he acknowledges debts to the Fallen Star God King and shows some lingering concern for Humanity.
• His cultivation advances conceptually: the spider’s patterns give him a possible starting point for understanding Origin fusion, though he has not yet mastered the process.
• Silver Sha appears as a selfless, devoted leader who respects Luo Feng’s choice and recognizes Humanity’s past wrongs.

Significant themes

• Debt and responsibility: Luo Feng’s promise is limited, but rooted in gratitude and a sense of obligation to his teacher and the Haotian Mirror.
• Belonging and identity: Luo Feng distinguishes between honoring Humanity’s past and feeling allegiance to its current people.
• The origins of creation: The Chaos Life’s patterns connect the transformations of power to the deeper mysteries of the Chaos Origin.
• The limits of understanding: Even Luo Feng’s great abilities—such as manipulating time—cannot overcome the mysteries embodied by Chaos Life remains.

Character interactions

• Silver Sha offers Luo Feng a place in Humanity’s leadership; Luo Feng declines but promises one future act of assistance.
• Their exchange is respectful and candid: Silver Sha acknowledges Humanity’s guilt toward the Fallen Star Swordsman, while Luo Feng honors his old obligations without accepting broader responsibility.
• The chapter ends with Luo Feng alone in study, encountering a mysterious vision that raises new questions about the nature of chaos.

Plot points and events

• Luo Feng opens the remaining boxes of chaos-life-form remains. A drop of dark-golden blood nearly overwhelms him with an abyss-like vision, but the Star Tower’s Origin Tower Pearl protects him. He recognizes the vision as the headless giant he saw in Firmament Palace.
• He studies a tuft of immense, patterned hair for three hundred eras, then examines a fragment of a Chaos Horned Rhino’s horn. Its powerful, metal-like patterns are difficult to interpret.
• A piece of skin bearing black blood triggers a fierce Will Impact and murderous voices identifying themselves with the “noble Infinite Serpent.” From a safe distance, Luo Feng compares the remains, hoping their shared nature will reveal a path to fusing the Origins.
• Over immense spans of time, Luo Feng’s seclusion continues while the Jin Empire flourishes. Its capital and regions are transformed, and it becomes a prosperous center for commerce, technology, and cultivation.
• Mountain Guest regains a God King body through the third level of divine-body cultivation, causing a major stir in the capital. Luo Feng ends his seclusion to meet him, partly fearing his teacher might depart without saying goodbye.
• Mountain Guest confirms that Luo Feng has found an entry point into the exceptionally difficult Origin Fusion Path. He explains that chaos Origin power was wielded in the ancient Heaven Realm era under Di Jun, but knowledge of it disappeared after that era’s wars. He also reveals that Earth’s Mountain Sea Realm myths were modeled on that ancient period, with legends brought from the Origin Continent to encourage cultivation.

Character developments and interactions

• Luo Feng shows greater caution after nearly succumbing to the dark blood’s influence, but remains determined to study the remains and pursue Origin fusion. His prolonged research has begun to yield insight.
• Mountain Guest has restored his God King body and is stronger than when he previously reached that realm through the Laws. He teases Luo Feng about ending his retreat to keep him from leaving; Luo Feng jokes that he still needs Mountain Guest’s help refining Golden Crow blood.
• Their conversation is warm and familiar, blending teasing with serious discussion of Luo Feng’s cultivation and the history behind Earth’s myths.

Significant themes

• The limits and dangers of knowledge: The remains offer profound insight, but even fragments can threaten a powerful cultivator’s will and soul.
• Patient discovery: Origin fusion advances through questions, intuition, comparison, and long contemplation rather than quick answers.
• Myth and history: Earth’s legendary eras are revealed as echoes of real events from the Origin Continent’s past.
• Renewal and progress: Luo Feng’s insight and Mountain Guest’s restored strength parallel the Jin Empire’s transformation into a thriving power.

Plot points

• Hong, known as True God Illusory Heart, breaks through to become a Void True God—the fourth human to do so—and creates Humanity’s fourth Sacred Land Universe. His enormous Miniature Universe reflects his firm foundation.
• Hong’s rise strengthens Humanity’s position but alarms other races. Despite having many powerful True Gods and Jin World inheritances, they have yet to produce a Sacred Land Universe of their own, and fear they may fade from Universe Ocean.
• After a celebration, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God reunite at Nine Realms Mountain. They reminisce about their early adventures and discuss how far their lives have diverged.
• Luo Feng and Hong urge Thunder God to take cultivation seriously. Thunder God enjoys his business success and admits that he would like to see what lies beyond reincarnation, but doubts his ability to reach it.
• Hong soon enters the Reincarnation Passage. His departure inspires human True Gods watching him, including True God Tipu, to resolve to advance and follow him.
• Safely passing through the passage, Hong looks ahead to Origin Continent with excitement.

Character developments and interactions

• Hong proves that persistence and steady self-improvement can overcome a lack of exceptional natural talent. His breakthrough surprises even Luo Feng, and he approaches the next stage of his journey with optimism rather than fixation on reaching the pinnacle.
• Luo Feng remains supportive of both brothers, encouraging Thunder God by reminding him that temperament, commitment, and the time afforded by eternity can make great achievements possible.
• Thunder God is comfortable with his life as a successful businessman and has little drive to cultivate, despite his brothers’ encouragement and his strong Heart Force attainment. The vast gap between his level and theirs leaves their old closeness somewhat restrained.
• Tipu and the other human True Gods respond to Hong’s success with a mix of pressure and inspiration, turning comparison into renewed ambition.

Significant themes

• Resolve versus talent: Hong’s steady determination shows that natural brilliance is not the only route to advancement.
• Ambition and personal choice: Luo Feng and Hong value cultivation, but Thunder God chooses a different kind of fulfillment.
• Legacy and competition: Hong’s breakthrough elevates Humanity while intensifying rivalry between its races and motivating his peers.
• Endless striving: Hong’s goal is continual improvement; he trusts that the view from the summit will come in time.

Key plot points and events

• In Jin City, Luo Feng asks Mountain Guest to refine Golden Crow Blood so he can unlock the full potential of the Golden Crow Wing.
• Luo Feng uses the Star Tower to extract five enormous drops of raw blood. Mountain Guest spends a month removing their ferocity and dangerous Will Impact, at considerable cost to his soul. He then refines a second batch of five drops after recovering.
• Luo Feng offers Mountain Guest a generous supply of raw blood, but Mountain Guest accepts only what he needs.
• As Mountain Guest prepares to leave for the dangerous Origin Continent, Luo Feng gives him 200,000 World Beast Warriors to improve his chances of survival.
• Luo Feng also gives him the Gilded Palace, whose Golden Runes have transformed it into a remarkably durable treasure. Mountain Guest accepts after Luo Feng reminds him that he owes his own Star Tower to his teacher.
• Mountain Guest departs, and Luo Feng decides he will leave Jin City too, seeking adventure across the Origin Continent.

Character development and interactions

• Luo Feng shows gratitude, generosity, and growing confidence. He trusts Mountain Guest with a rare and dangerous task, compensates him generously, and supports his departure without trying to hold him back. He also recognizes that exploration fuels his own growth.
• Mountain Guest demonstrates immense skill and resolve by refining the blood despite the risk and strain. He remains practical and restrained, refusing more resources than he needs, while his fascination with the Gilded Palace’s runes reveals his continuing passion for crafting treasures.
• Their farewell reinforces their teacher–disciple bond: they exchange gifts, speak warmly of meeting again, and part with mutual respect.

Significant themes

• Trust and reciprocity: Luo Feng relies on his teacher, while their gifts reflect a bond built on past generosity and shared loyalty.
• Growth through hardship and exploration: Both characters head into danger rather than settle into safety; Luo Feng sees adventure as essential to further breakthroughs.
• Power and its cost: Refining Golden Crow Blood requires exceptional will and exacts a real toll, while powerful treasures and forces offer protection but do not remove the risks of the wider world.

Chapter Summary: “Flame Cave”

Key plot points and events

• Luo Feng leaves six of his ten God King servants behind to protect the Jin Empire and takes the other four, along with Morosa, on an adventure across the Origin Continent.
• To avoid drawing attention to his sensitive identity as Galaxy, he adopts the name Blade River King, a title from his early years. His Perfect Gene form lets him imitate another being’s aura and soul, making the disguise difficult to detect.
• Wanting to grow through personal experience, Luo Feng intends to avoid relying on Morosa or his most powerful treasures. He travels to the Flame Cave to refine Golden Crow Blood, since its intense Fire Origin power is ideal for transforming his body.
• The Flame Cave is an enormous, fiercely hot volcanic region, associated with Fire God Zhurong. Its deeper reaches are deadly even to God Kings, and it is inhabited by powerful Magma Demons as well as cultivators studying the Fire Origin.
• Luo Feng descends in the altered Star Tower, hoping to find opponents to fight. Other God Kings know that two Peak God King-level Magma Demons dominate the depths and regard anyone who enters as likely doomed.
• Luo Feng reaches a region where the surrounding planets and rocks seem lifeless. He spots an enormous rock mass and, after Morosa senses something strange about it, cautiously stops at a distance.
• The mass suddenly shudders and emits ripples that create a tremendous pulling force, nearly matching the force of the Star Tower driven by fiftyfold divine power.

Character developments

• Luo Feng begins a new stage of self-directed adventure, deliberately limiting his reliance on powerful allies and equipment so he can temper himself.
• He shows caution by taking Morosa’s warning seriously and observing the strange mass from a distance rather than approaching immediately.
• Morosa demonstrates keen instincts, noticing something abnormal about the mass that Luo Feng cannot initially detect.

Significant themes

• Self-reliance and growth: Luo Feng seeks challenges that will strengthen him rather than simply relying on overwhelming power.
• Disguise and identity: His new title and ability to mimic another being’s aura allow him to travel without exposing his identity as Galaxy.
• The danger and opportunity of extreme environments: The Flame Cave is both a deadly hazard and an ideal place to refine Golden Crow Blood and study the Fire Origin.
• Overconfidence versus caution: Luo Feng enters a perilous region unaware of its most dangerous inhabitants, but Morosa’s warning prompts him to proceed carefully.

Character interactions

• Luo Feng leaves trusted servants behind to safeguard the Jin Empire while taking a smaller group on his journey.
• He consults Morosa’s instincts when the enormous rock seems suspicious, showing that he values his companion’s judgment.
• The God Kings already in the Flame Cave discuss the unknown intruder among themselves, expecting him to fall victim to the two Magma Demons—but Luo Feng does not know of the danger awaiting him.

Chapter 169: “The Terrifying Magma Demon”

Key plot points and events

• A gigantic meteorite suddenly pulls Luo Feng’s Star Tower toward it. The meteorite opens to reveal a Magma Demon, whose powerful Soul Attack and Devouring Force threaten to swallow the tower.
• Luo Feng uses two hundredfold divine power to break free. The first Magma Demon strikes the tower but cannot stop its escape.
• A second, even stronger Magma Demon appears above him. Its concealed approach and magnetic field prevent Luo Feng from teleporting with the Haotian Mirror.
• Trapped between the two demons, Luo Feng orders Morosa to summon a million World Beasts. Their combined attack tears a huge hole through the upper demon, briefly weakening its Devouring Force—but the flames of the Flame Cave rapidly heal it.
• The wounded demon becomes enraged. The two demons pursue and strike the Star Tower, while Luo Feng’s attempts to slow them with further attacks prove ineffective.
• Unable to escape their reach, Luo Feng is ultimately swallowed whole by the upper Magma Demon.

Character developments

• Luo Feng remains composed and makes quick tactical decisions, first using the Star Tower’s power to escape and then deploying the World Beasts when trapped.
• He recognizes the limits of his resources: the tower’s immense power consumes divine energy quickly, and the Haotian Mirror cannot overcome the space-locking field without greater mastery of Space Origin.
• His confidence gives way to alarm as he realizes that the Magma Demons’ power and home-ground advantage make them effectively impossible to defeat.

Character interactions

• The Magma Demons work together to trap Luo Feng, block his escape, and attack from both sides.
• Luo Feng commands Morosa, who unleashes the million World Beasts’ devastating combined strike.
• Despite the demons’ limited intelligence, their instinctive attacks and cooperation overwhelm Luo Feng’s defenses.

Significant themes

• Home-ground advantage: The Flame Cave continually restores the Magma Demons, making even severe wounds temporary.
• Limits of power: Luo Feng’s formidable Star Tower and World Beast army can hurt the enemy but cannot secure victory.
• Adaptability under pressure: Luo Feng repeatedly adjusts his tactics, yet careful judgment cannot overcome an overwhelming imbalance of strength.

Chapter 170: Refining Golden Crow Blood

Key events

• Upper-level God Kings sense a violent struggle in the Flame Cave, then feel it abruptly end. They conclude another Peak God King has died to the two nearly invincible Magma Demons.
• Swallowed by one demon, Luo Feng and the Star Tower are trapped inside its Internal World. The demon’s digestive force is immense, but the Star Tower withstands it, so Luo Feng decides he can safely use the time to recover and refine Golden Crow Blood.
• Luo Feng absorbs a full drop of the blood. Its flames cause excruciating pain as they burn impurities from every cell. He endures the ordeal through sheer will, even as his uncontrolled movements devastate a world inside the Star Tower.
• Once the worst pain passes, Luo Feng has the Star Tower Spirit admit flame power from the Magma Demon’s body. Guided by the Golden Crow Blood, he absorbs this energy to strengthen and transform his cells.
• His body reaches the durability of a Saint-level High-grade Supreme Treasure, but its enormous size means the first drop does not bring it as far as he hoped. He uses a second drop, enduring even more severe pain and coming close to losing consciousness.

Character development

• Luo Feng shows his characteristic willingness to test dangerous methods firsthand, despite being only at the Saint Realm.
• His “Heart Like a Blade” willpower allows him to endure pain that could incapacitate even some God Kings. The transformation is not easy: he nearly blacks out during the second dose, but holds on.

Character interactions

• Luo Feng relies on the Star Tower for protection and asks its Spirit to let the Magma Demon’s flame power into the tower.
• The upper God Kings, observing from afar, interpret the fading struggle as proof of another powerful warrior’s death; they do not know Luo Feng is protected inside the Star Tower.

Significant themes

• Endurance and resolve: Luo Feng’s will is essential to surviving the blood’s brutal refinement.
• Risk and ambition: He chooses full-strength Golden Crow Blood and then a second dose to pursue greater physical power.
• Turning danger into opportunity: The Magma Demon’s Internal World becomes both shelter for the Star Tower and a source of energy for Luo Feng’s transformation.

Key plot points and events

• While trapped inside a Magma Demon, Luo Feng completes the transformation caused by refining two drops of Golden Crow Blood. His body becomes vastly stronger, with defense he believes can rival God King-level protection. The ordeal is so painful that he decides not to risk refining a third drop.
• His body continues absorbing the demon’s flame energy, and his Chaos Space unexpectedly converts some of it into the Fire Origin. Luo Feng cannot use this power outside himself, but discovers he can wield it within his Chaos Space—potentially giving that space an advantage similar to a God King’s Miniature Universe.
• Realizing the Magma Demon contains an immense supply of Fire Origin-infused energy, Luo Feng unleashes the Chaos Space’s full devouring power. The demon’s inner world is thrown into chaos as its energy is rapidly drained.
• The Magma Demon thrashes and strikes its own body, creating disturbances that spread through much of the Flame Cave. God Kings cultivating nearby investigate, suspecting a rare treasure or Primordial Mountain Token has appeared.
• The God Kings discover that the strongest Magma Demon is in a frenzy and infer that the Peak God King it swallowed is responsible. They are astonished that anyone could cause such a creature so much trouble.

Character developments

• Luo Feng grows stronger through the Golden Crow Blood transformation and learns that his Chaos Space can absorb and store an Origin. His initial relief at surviving the painful refinement gives way to excitement and ambition as he realizes the potential of this new power.
• He also becomes more aggressive: rather than merely endure being swallowed, he decides to exploit the demon’s apparent core and drain it as completely as possible.
• The Magma Demon shifts from a seemingly powerful predator to a furious, destabilized creature, unable—or unwilling—to force out the Star Tower while its vital inner energy is being drained.
• The observing God Kings move from curiosity to shock as they witness the demon’s strange behavior and recognize that a formidable cultivator may be inside it.

Significant themes

• Growth through hardship: Luo Feng’s painful transformation yields exceptional physical strength and new abilities.
• Discovery and adaptation: His unexpected access to the Fire Origin reveals an unexplored function of his Chaos Space.
• Risk and ambition: Knowing the demon may be near its core, Luo Feng chooses to intensify his attack rather than retreat.
• Power and perception: The disturbance leads outsiders to mistake Luo Feng’s struggle for the appearance of a powerful treasure, while they underestimate how the chaos began.

Character interactions

• Luo Feng’s conflict with the Magma Demon is indirect but escalating: he drains its inner energy, while it responds by roaring, thrashing, and striking itself in an attempt to stop him.
• A second Magma Demon witnesses its leader’s outburst but is confused and unable to help.
• The nearby God Kings discuss the disturbance and investigate together. They do not know Luo Feng’s exact actions, but conclude that the swallowed cultivator must be extraordinarily powerful.

Chapter 172: “Astonishing Changes”

Key plot points and events

• Luo Feng uses his Chaos Space to drain the Magma Demon that had swallowed him. When ordinary absorption proves slow, he boosts the process with the Star Tower, channeling the demon’s energy into the tower’s inner world.
• The Magma Demon goes berserk, rampaging through the Flame Cave and destroying nearby planets and meteorites. The assembled God Kings flee, while the cave’s other Magma Demon escapes after seeing its leader’s fate.
• Luo Feng steadily reduces the demon from more than one hundred million light-years tall to less than twenty million. After less than a month, he absorbs every last trace of its energy, ending its rule over the Flame Cave.
• Seeking the Fire Origin needed for his Chaos Space, Luo Feng then absorbs the cave’s flames directly. Morosa stands guard as he meditates atop the Star Tower.
• After two years, Luo Feng’s Origin Space reaches capacity. The absorbed energy amounts to roughly six Magma Demons and has filled the space with Fire Origin.

Character developments

• Luo Feng gains enormously from the trip: Golden Crow Blood has strengthened and transformed his body, while his Chaos Space has accumulated Fire Origin and begun expanding as its chaotic energy dissolves.
• His confidence and ambition rise. He wonders whether his extraordinary gains are luck or evidence of his exceptional nature, and imagines that his future may rival that of legendary figures.
• Morosa remains a loyal, silent guard while Luo Feng absorbs energy.

Character interactions

• Luo Feng’s contest with the Magma Demon is one-sided once the Star Tower amplifies his devouring power; the creature’s resistance gives way as it shrinks and weakens.
• The God Kings react with fear to the demon’s rampage and withdraw rather than risk being caught in its destruction.
• The second Magma Demon recognizes the danger and flees instead of confronting Luo Feng.

Significant themes

• Unprecedented growth and hidden potential: Luo Feng’s body and Chaos Space develop in remarkable ways, suggesting a power beyond ordinary understanding.
• Power and survival: The Magma Demon’s immense strength cannot protect it once Luo Feng gains the advantage; the other inhabitants respond by fleeing.
• Ambition tempered by patience: Luo Feng recognizes that the Fire Origin’s full benefits may take time, but remains eager to discover what his growing power will enable.

Chapter 173 Summary

Key events

• Luo Feng spars with Galaxy Guard No. 7, the Willow Vine God King, to test the effects of refining two drops of golden crow blood and his developing origin-fusion skills.
• The blood has greatly strengthened Luo Feng’s body and physical power. Though his understanding of the origins remains less advanced than his opponent’s, he uses sheer force and Break Law with Force to fight No. 7 to a near draw without relying on the Star Tower’s Subsidiary Armor.
• The battle exposes weaknesses in Luo Feng’s use of fused origins and blade techniques, while also giving him valuable practice and ideas for creating new techniques suited to origin fusion. He leaves feeling satisfied and more confident in his strength.
• With the golden crow blood refined, Luo Feng decides to explore deeper into the Flame Cave. The Star Tower descends through increasingly intense flames, where Luo Feng’s divine sense eventually burns away.
• Near the cave’s bottom, he discovers a vast ocean of golden-red magma and approaches its largest island. There he sees an immense fiery-red flower whose dark-gold stamen stirs the fire-origin power within him and awakens a desire to consume it.
• Morosa spots a figure beside the flower and urgently tells Luo Feng to stop. Luo Feng halts, realizing that an unseen presence capable of surviving there may be extraordinarily powerful.

Character developments and interactions

• Luo Feng demonstrates a major increase in combat strength: he can now contend with an outstanding initial God King and may approach the lower ranks of middle God Kings if he fully unleashes his power.
• His sparring with Galaxy Guard No. 7 is both a test and a lesson. No. 7’s regenerating willow branches and trapping methods reveal the limits of Luo Feng’s current techniques, even as Luo Feng’s force and improved blade mastery keep him competitive.
• Morosa acts as Luo Feng’s lookout during the descent and shows sharper vision near the cave’s depths, noticing the mysterious figure before Luo Feng does.

Significant themes

• Strength through testing: Luo Feng measures his growth through direct combat rather than relying only on powerful artifacts and allies.
• Progress and unfinished mastery: Increased physical power does not replace deeper understanding; Luo Feng still needs to refine his origin comprehension and invent techniques to exploit fused origins.
• Curiosity tempered by danger: His ambition to explore the Flame Cave brings him to a potentially valuable discovery, but Morosa’s warning suggests the flower—and its guardian—may pose a serious threat.

Chapter 174 Summary

Key plot points and events

• Inside the Flame Cave, Luo Feng spots a mysterious figure absorbing Fire Origin Power from the Origin Fire Lotus. Morosa senses a deadly threat, so Luo Feng withdraws in the Star Tower rather than risk disturbing the figure or seizing the valuable stamens.
• After Luo Feng leaves, the figure briefly notices him and respects his restraint. The figure has remained there for more than ten Eras of Reincarnation, preparing to absorb the mature lotus and condense Fire Origin within himself.
• Having refined Golden Crow Blood and explored the Flame Cave, Luo Feng moves on to pursue cultivation and comprehend the Origin.
• He joins the God-Awakener Plan, run by Adjudication Lord God. Participants face assigned opponents; ten thousand consecutive victories earn entry to the mysterious Temple and the rank of Adjudication Lord God.
• Luo Feng registers as Blade River King at the Judgment Supreme God Palace in Sand City. He pays the fee, leaves a divine-power imprint for identification and tracking, and receives a Mirror Stone Token.
• His first assigned opponent is a God King outside the plan, infamous for slaughter. Losing would end Luo Feng’s attempt unless he pays to register again, and the opponent may kill him.

Character developments

• Luo Feng shows discipline by resisting greed and retreating from a far stronger being, despite wanting the lotus’s stamens.
• He turns toward a more deliberate path of growth, choosing the plan because its assigned fights offer opportunities to test himself and understand the Origin.
• The mysterious figure is revealed as patient and focused on a long-term cultivation goal; he also judges Luo Feng as unusually level-headed.

Significant themes

• Restraint and survival: Knowing when not to fight—or take a prize—can matter more than ambition.
• Risk and advancement: The God-Awakener Plan offers opportunity, but every challenge may become a fight to the death.
• Mystery and hidden power: The figure’s concealed aura and the Temple’s unknown nature emphasize how much of the world’s hierarchy remains beyond Luo Feng’s understanding.
• Judgment and violence: Despite the plan’s name and possible role in punishing evil, its challenges are dangerous and may involve lethal combat.

Character interactions

• Morosa warns Luo Feng that the figure is deadly; Luo Feng agrees and guides the Star Tower away.
• The mysterious figure observes Luo Feng’s departure, noting his restraint and unusual Supreme Treasure, but remains behind to cultivate.
• At the palace, Luo Feng registers with the help of a foxlike attendant, provides his identity and divine-power imprint, pays the fee, and receives his first challenge details.

Plot points and events

• Luo Feng selects Cayenne Demon Lord as his first opponent in the Adjudication Lord God’s God-Awakener challenge.
• He learns that Cayenne Demon Lord abducts and enslaves weaker races, keeping more than a hundred thousand in the Cayenne Demon Cave to use as food. He avoids targeting groups protected by God Kings, which has allowed him to escape retaliation.
• After traveling for over a month with the Haotian Mirror, Luo Feng reaches the demon lord’s territory. The journey nearly drains his immense divine body, highlighting how much less efficiently he travels than a Space God King, who can draw on the Space Origin.
• Luo Feng decides to confront Cayenne Demon Lord openly. He wants to test his own combat abilities rather than rely on the Star Tower, since revealing too much power could make later opponents in the challenge stronger.
• Luo Feng strikes the cave’s entrance, killing its guards, but his powerful attack cannot breach the hidden world’s defenses.
• Cayenne Demon Lord emerges, intent on killing and eating Luo Feng. He reveals that Luo Feng is the fifth God Awakener sent after him—and that he has already eaten four.
• Recognizing the demon lord’s immense physical strength, Luo Feng privately considers using Morosa to devour him after first defeating him and forcing him to concede.

Character developments

• Luo Feng is disturbed by the cruelty of Cayenne Demon Lord’s crimes. He also gains a clearer understanding of the Origin Continent’s scale, the limits of his own travel method, and the strength of a well-defended God King lair. He remains determined to rely on his own fighting skill instead of the Star Tower.
• Cayenne Demon Lord is presented as a grotesque, gluttonous predator who sees even a God King as a meal. His confidence comes from his powerful body and near-impenetrable domain.

Significant themes

• Power and exploitation: The strong prey on the weak, while powerful figures often ignore abuses that do not threaten them.
• Moral judgment: Luo Feng regards Cayenne Demon Lord’s appetite and enslavement of entire races as especially monstrous.
• Growth through risk: Luo Feng deliberately avoids an easy victory so he can test himself and develop.
• Limits and scale: The vastness of the Origin Continent and the strength of the cave’s defenses reveal how much remains beyond Luo Feng’s reach.

Character interactions

• Luo Feng and Cayenne Demon Lord exchange threats at the cave’s entrance. Cayenne Demon Lord mocks the God Awakeners’ repeated attempts and declares his intention to eat Luo Feng; Luo Feng studies his opponent and plans to defeat him without immediately relying on the Star Tower.

Plot and key events

• Luo Feng confronts Cayenne Demon Lord, a monster who has killed five God Kings. Calling himself Blade River King, Luo Feng chooses to fight rather than surrender.
• Luo Feng opens with full power, using the Saint Snow Cup’s domain and Blood Shadow Blade. Cayenne’s eighteen flexible, highly durable arms blunt his attacks, while Cayenne mocks Luo Feng’s crude Blade Technique.
• Cayenne then reveals his true strength: he splits into nine bodies, each wielding a spear. Their coordinated formation lets them fight with power comparable to a Middle or High God King, quickly putting Luo Feng on the defensive.
• Rather than panic, Luo Feng welcomes the pressure. His exceptional durability—and rapid healing from Golden Crow Blood—allows him to endure the attacks while his Divine Power Clone studies each exchange.
• As the battle continues, Luo Feng steadily improves his Blade Technique, learning to weave his understanding of fused Origin Mysteries into it. Cayenne notices the progress and grows jealous and determined to kill him.
• Cayenne prepares a finishing move: all nine bodies combine their power into a spear thrust aimed directly at Luo Feng’s Inner Universe, while their soul attacks strike at the same time. The chapter ends as the lethal attack is unleashed.

Character developments and interactions

• Luo Feng is cautious about Cayenne’s reputation but confident in his own resilience. He treats the fight as a chance to grow, remaining focused and even excited while under pressure.
• Cayenne Demon Lord begins arrogantly, dismissing Luo Feng’s skill. His attitude shifts to surprise, then envy and murderous resolve as Luo Feng improves mid-battle.
• Their exchange is both a physical contest and a clash of outlooks: Cayenne relies on overwhelming force and coordination, while Luo Feng adapts and learns through combat.

Significant themes

• Growth through adversity: Luo Feng’s skill develops under the pressure of a real, dangerous opponent.
• Power versus technique: Raw strength gives Luo Feng an advantage, but Cayenne’s coordination and refined use of his abilities initially dominate.
• Resilience and adaptation: Luo Feng’s toughness lets him survive long enough to turn the battle into a learning opportunity.
• Arrogance and underestimation: Cayenne’s mockery gives way to alarm once he recognizes Luo Feng’s unusual potential.

Key plot points

• While fighting the Cayenne Demon Lord, Luo Feng is briefly caught in a Soul Illusion showing his son, Luo Hai, apparently dead. He recognizes the deception and breaks free, then uses the fire power in his Origin Space to destroy a spear-intent attack before it can damage him.
• A second God King arrives: the Soul Lord, whose immense soul power disrupts Luo Feng despite the protection of the Star Tower and Golden Fox Bell. Luo Feng summons Morosa, who can resist the Soul Lord’s influence.
• Luo Feng unleashes his thirty-six-pattern Heaven-Piercing Thorn with the Lie Yuan Technique. The strike knocks out all nine of the Cayenne Demon Lord’s avatars, and Luo Feng captures him with the Star Tower.
• Recognizing the Lie Yuan Technique, the Soul Lord abandons the fight and escapes. Luo Feng, mentally drained, does not pursue him.
• Having completed the challenge, Luo Feng investigates the Cayenne Demon Cave. Inside, he discovers an enormous two-layer world populated by countless beings apparently kept as food. He suspects the Soul Lord’s motives go beyond feeding the Cayenne Demon Lord.
• At the Cayenne Demon Palace, Luo Feng questions a surviving Saint Realm cultivator, but the man’s soul disintegrates before he can reveal anything. Luo Feng resolves to rescue the cave’s inhabitants by moving them into the Star Tower’s Nine Heavens World.

Character developments and interactions

• Luo Feng learns that his defenses do not make him immune to sophisticated soul attacks. He responds by relying on his most powerful Will Secret Technique, then shifts from defeating an enemy to protecting the cave’s helpless population.
• Morosa backs Luo Feng against the Soul Lord. His willpower and the soul-defense ability of Jie make him resistant to the Lord’s chanting and illusions.
• The Cayenne Demon Lord remains fiercely loyal to his master, but is defeated and captured by Luo Feng.
• The Soul Lord is revealed as the power behind the Cayenne Demon Lord. His formidable soul techniques fail to affect Morosa, and he retreats once Luo Feng displays the Lie Yuan Technique.
• Xu Xin appears within the illusion, bringing Luo Feng’s fear for his family into the battle; her report about Luo Hai’s supposed death is false.

Significant themes

• The danger of deception: Illusions can exploit personal fears and create openings even in a battle-hardened opponent.
• Power, responsibility, and compassion: Luo Feng’s discovery of the captive population turns a victorious mission into a rescue effort.
• Hidden motives and unanswered questions: The Soul Lord’s role and the purpose of the vast population remain unclear, while the destroyed witness suggests the truth is being carefully concealed.

Key plot points and events

• Luo Feng defeats Cayenne Demon Lord, destroys his soul, and feeds his life-rich body to Morosa. His first Judgment Supreme God Palace battle is over, though he must wait up to ten billion epochs for the next opponent.
• He leaves a Divine Power Clone to study the Chaos Life remains and cultivates in the Cayenne Demon Cave. Over a million epochs, he makes substantial progress fusing the Fire and Wood Origins.
• The Soul Lord, who had fled earlier, returns and worries that Luo Feng may have discovered the cave’s unusual properties. Meanwhile, the cave’s flourishing life and abundant Wood Origin energy go unnoticed by Luo Feng.
• Morosa detects a concealed world far underground, filled with immense life force and guarded by a powerful being. Luo Feng identifies it as a likely secret realm and hopes it may contain an Origin Heart, a treasure capable of raising a God King to peak strength.
• Luo Feng’s million World Beasts dig a passage to the realm. When they break through, enormous vines attack and tear Luo Feng and Morosa apart, trapping each in a separate space. Luo Feng arms himself with the Star Tower’s armor and blade and prepares to fight.

Character developments

• Luo Feng grows more capable in Origin fusion, particularly with Fire and Wood, but remains aware that becoming a God King through this difficult path may take many Eras of Reincarnation.
• Morosa demonstrates the reach of his World Beast powers by detecting the hidden realm, then joins Luo Feng in the dangerous expedition.
• The Soul Lord remains interested in reclaiming the Cayenne Demon Cave, whose life- and soul-nurturing qualities benefited him.
• Cayenne Demon Lord is definitively killed, freeing the cave’s many inhabitants from his rule.

Significant themes

• Slow, arduous cultivation: Luo Feng’s progress is meaningful but incremental, and even exceptional talent offers no guarantee of reaching God Kinghood quickly.
• Growth through conflict: The battle with Cayenne Demon Lord helps Luo Feng advance more than contemplation alone.
• Discovery and risk: A potentially priceless secret realm draws Luo Feng forward, but its powerful guardian turns exploration into an immediate struggle.
• Life’s abundance and power: The cave and secret realm teem with life energy, which can nurture growth but also manifest as overwhelming danger.

Character interactions

• Luo Feng treats Cayenne Demon Lord as a threat to eliminate immediately, then gives his body to Morosa.
• Luo Feng directs Morosa to investigate the transformed cave; Morosa reports the hidden world and its formidable inhabitant.
• Luo Feng and Morosa enter the secret realm together, but its vines separate them and force them to face the danger independently.
