After defeating Bai Wuyi and claiming the Heavenly Star, Zhou Feng recovered with the help of pills and discovered that his Invincible Momentum had gained a second stack.

Zhou Feng continued training Li Rong'er while the Bai Family learned that Bai Wuyi had been badly injured and forced out of the Tianxing Secret Realm.

After leaving the Tianxing Secret Realm, Zhou Feng rejected the City Lord's Mansion's offer to join and prepared to leave Tianxing City. He settled the shop's affairs, gave Qian Qianqian an alchemy method, and headed to the City Lord's Mansion treasury before departing.

• Zhou Feng received a token granting him access to the City Lord's Mansion treasury and refused its offer of membership.

• Zhou Feng left for the City Lord's Mansion to choose a treasure before leaving Tianxing City.

Zhou Feng entered the City Lord's Mansion's treasure vault and chose a Human Emperor Ring after finding no suitable cultivation techniques. Sensing danger, he fled Tianxing City with Big Yellow and settled in a hidden cave, where he finally prepared to examine the ring.

• Zhou Feng used his token to enter the City Lord's Mansion and was given one incense stick to choose an item from its treasure vault.
• Zhou Feng searched the vault's restricted collection of techniques but found none suitable for him.
• Zhou Feng's Human Emperor Blood resonated with a Human Emperor Ring, so he took it and left the treasure vault.
• Zhou Feng sensed danger and quickly left Tianxing City with Big Yellow before the Bai Family and monk Ruosheng could find him.
• Zhou Feng hid in a cave, set up warning formations, and began examining the Human Emperor Ring after his sense of danger faded.

Zhou Feng uncovered the Human Emperor Legacy Ring and used it to locate a Place of Legacy, deciding to seek it after returning to Tianxing City. Meanwhile, the Bai Family hired Monk Ruosheng to track him and learned he was heading back toward the Three Gu Sect.

• Zhou Feng infused the Human Emperor Ring with vital essence and blood qi, revealing a jade ring identified as the Human Emperor Legacy Ring.
• Zhou Feng activated the ring and discovered a map pointing to a Place of Legacy, then resolved to visit it after settling matters with the Three Gu Sect and returning to Tianxing City.
• The Bai Family searched Tianxing City for Zhou Feng and suspected he had left, making him easier to pursue outside the city.
• The Bai Family hired Monk Ruosheng to locate Zhou Feng, and he revealed Zhou Feng’s route led back toward the Three Gu Sect.

Zhou Feng questioned the Three Gu Sect’s location near demon territory and struggled with his slow Purple Mansion cultivation as he traveled back through the Barren Lands. He found the Stockades deserted and massacred, and Big Yellow sensed something nearby as they approached the Three Gu Sect.

• Zhou Feng studied Li Rong'er's map, wondered how the Three Gu Sect had survived beside demon territory, and recalled the Witch Worship Cult.
• Zhou Feng tempered his body with the Sha Qi Core, considered fighting as a way to improve faster, and decided to keep cultivating steadily.
• Zhou Feng found the Three Gu Sect’s former grounds ruined and learned that its disciples had been captured or fled while the sect relocated.
• Zhou Feng found Stockades full of slaughtered or missing people and grew troubled by the desolation spreading through the Barren Lands.
• Big Yellow sniffed the ground, growled, and raised the fur on his back, alerting Zhou Feng to something nearby.

Zhou Feng and Big Yellow approached the former grounds of the Three Gu Sect through a barren region filled with corpses. After Tiguli revealed that he used humans to breed worms for his grazing task, Zhou Feng killed him and concluded that the nearby humans had likely been wiped out.

• Big Yellow warned Zhou Feng that a scent nearby came from something dangerous, but Zhou Feng continued toward the former Three Gu Sect grounds.
• Zhou Feng found the land increasingly barren and littered with corpses as he neared his destination.
• Big Yellow exposed Zhou Feng to Tiguli, who said he needed to complete his grazing task and called Zhou Feng a lamb.
• Two men’s swollen bellies burst, releasing white worms, and Zhou Feng realized Tiguli had used humans to breed them.
• Zhou Feng shattered Tiguli’s bone club, killed him with a punch, and used the Purple Jade Bell to crush the worms and corpse.
• Zhou Feng watched fur grow from Tiguli’s corpse and suspected that all the humans in the area had died.

After killing Tiguli, Zhou Feng discovered that the Human Emperor Scripture let him grow stronger by killing foreign races, so he sent Big Yellow to track more prey. Their search led him into the Monster Domain, where he encountered Gong Jiu herding people as blood food.

• Zhou Feng felt the Human Emperor Blood and Human Emperor Ring react after he killed Tiguli, and realized killing foreign races could increase his cultivation.
• Zhou Feng decided to stay in the region and hunt foreign races, then had Big Yellow follow Tiguli's scent.
• Zhou Feng learned that the Barren Lands were a Monster Domain where demons and monsters harvested humans and sects served them.
• Big Yellow led Zhou Feng to a group of people with swollen bellies being driven forward by Gong Jiu.
• Gong Jiu spotted Zhou Feng and recognized him as blood food.

Zhou Feng fought Gong Jiu, who had become a demonic Purple Mansion cultivator, and learned the purpose of the Human Fetus Gu and the Three Gu Sect’s connection to the demons. After defeating Gong Jiu, Zhou Feng discovered that some of the people carrying the Gu were his former clansmen and heard that Leng Man’er had been captured.

• Gong Jiu recognized Zhou Feng as a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator and attacked him in a jealous rage.
• Zhou Feng overpowered Gong Jiu, who swallowed people carrying Human Fetus Gu to strengthen himself, then crushed his renewed attack.
• Zhou Feng used the Purple Jade Bell to suppress the people carrying Human Fetus Gu and questioned the still-living Gong Jiu.
• Gong Jiu revealed that he had implanted Human Fetus Gu in Zhou Feng’s former clansmen and said the Gu fed the demons with blood energy, grievance, and hatred.
• Gong Jiu claimed that Leng Man’er had been captured by the demons, while Zhou Feng learned that the Three Gu Sect had served the demons by raising Human Fetus Gu.

Zhou Feng interrogated Gong Jiu about the demons ruling the Barren Lands, then killed him and the people incubating Human Fetus Gu. Realizing he was isolated in demon territory, Zhou Feng prepared to draw a new passive skill before deciding whether to confront the demons.

• Zhou Feng learned from Gong Jiu that demons had powerful bodies and innate abilities, grew stronger by devouring humans, and ruled the Barren Lands; Gong Jiu's master was a ninth-level Purple Mansion Realm demon with a defensive ability.
• Gong Jiu's savage expression returned as he urged Zhou Feng to kill the demon, so Zhou Feng stomped his head apart.
• Zhou Feng used the Purple Jade Bell to crush everyone carrying Human Fetus Gu, then took Big Yellow to rest and told it to hide in the spirit beast bag during future fights.
• Zhou Feng recognized that revealing his cultivation of the Human Emperor Scripture could attract a demon attack, and considered saving the Purple Jade Bell while searching for a safer escape plan.
• Zhou Feng used the Spirit Crystal Warm Jade to fill the Skill Panel's progress bar and became able to draw a new passive skill.

Zhou Feng drew the Golden Passive Nirvana Rebirth, which let his divine soul revive through a seed made from his flesh and blood, and he created one. He began preparing a hidden base to protect the seed and survive the weakening period after rebirth, then considered leaving his Purple Jade Bell there too.

• Zhou Feng drew Nirvana Rebirth, a Golden Passive that could revive him through a Nirvana Seed after his body was destroyed, with a ninety-nine-year cooldown and a half-month weakening period.
• Zhou Feng considered the risks of his divine soul being suppressed and the seed being discovered, and warned himself not to become reckless or reveal the ability.
• Zhou Feng created a Nirvana Seed from his flesh and blood, but its abundant life force made him decide not to carry it with him.
• Zhou Feng chose a barren site in the Demon Land near Tianxing City and began building an underground secret base with formation flags, supplies, and cultivation resources.
• Zhou Feng wondered whether to leave the Purple Jade Bell in the base to protect him after rebirth.

Zhou Feng established a protected rebirth point, then decided to hunt the Three Gu Sect and the demons’ underlings. Meanwhile, the Bai Family stopped at the Demon Land’s border, and Monk Ruosheng abandoned his attempt to kill Zhou Feng after recognizing the Human Emperor Dragon Qi protecting him.

• Zhou Feng placed the Purple Jade Bell beside his Nirvana Seed and prepared the cave as a rebirth point.
• Zhou Feng reasoned that he should eliminate the demons’ underlings before confronting the demons, and suspected Old Demon Gu’s Demon Devouring Art came from them.
• Zhou Feng summoned Big Yellow to track down the demonic underlings and decided to target the Three Gu Sect.
• The Bai Family’s pursuers reached the Demon Land’s border and stopped, while Monk Ruosheng decided to leave Zhou Feng alone and wait until he had grown stronger.
• The Bai Family members stayed at the entrance to the Demon Land to wait for Zhou Feng, unaware that Human Emperor Dragon Qi protected him.

Zhou Feng encountered Old Demon Gu, his former master, and learned that the Demon Devouring Art had left Old Demon Gu dangerously corrupted. After their first clash, Old Demon Gu transformed into a half-human, half-beast monster and set out to devour Zhou Feng.

• Zhou Feng and Big Yellow passed through demon-tainted herders, and Zhou Feng killed them as they traveled deeper.

• Zhou Feng and Old Demon Gu collided in a powerful fist clash that blasted a crater into the ground.
• Old Demon Gu transformed into a monster and vowed to eat Zhou Feng, while a massive black shadow appeared behind him.

Zhou Feng overwhelmed Old Demon Gu in battle, then questioned him about the Three Gu Sect. After learning its location, Zhou Feng killed Old Demon Gu and the Demon Devouring Gu inside him.

• Old Demon Gu attacked Zhou Feng with his demonic phenomenon, but Zhou Feng's Nascent Phenomenon and passives let him block the blow and seize the advantage.
• Zhou Feng relentlessly battered Old Demon Gu, breaking through his Demon Blood Shield and evading every counterattack with Combat Instinct.
• Zhou Feng's punches forced Old Demon Gu out of his Demonic Transformation and left him barely alive.
• Zhou Feng asked where the Three Gu Sect was, and Old Demon Gu told him to head north.
• Zhou Feng thanked Old Demon Gu, then crushed his head and the Demon Devouring Gu inside him, triggering Soul Collection and Invincible Momentum.

Zhou Feng killed Old Demon Gu, absorbed his demonic energy, and rampaged north through the demon lackeys, awakening to a nameless Heavenly Bestowed Combat Technique at the rebuilt Three Gu Sect. Surrounded by enemies, he instinctively gathered golden light and thunder into a punch accompanied by a Dragon's Roar.

• Zhou Feng discovered a nameless Heavenly Bestowed Combat Technique in his mind as the gathered enemies attacked.
• Zhou Feng instinctively clenched his right fist, unleashing golden light and thunder as a Dragon's Roar rose into the air.

Zhou Feng attacked the Three Gu Sect and was recognized by its disciples as the former member who had once left the sect. As Leng Shou and the others trapped him with a grand formation, Zhou Feng unleashed a devastating punch that destroyed the sect grounds and engulfed him in its own blast.

• Zhou Feng killed a newly promoted Purple Mansion Realm elder with one punch and carved a ravine through the Three Gu Sect.
• The disciples recognized Zhou Feng and recalled that he had left the sect after the Witch Worship Cult invaded.
• Leng Shou appeared, ordered the disciples to activate the grand formation, and used the Myriad Gu Soul Devouring Banner as its core.
• While studying the Heavenly Bestowed Combat Technique, Zhou Feng was interrupted when Leng Shou launched Myriad Gu Immortal Slaying.
• Zhou Feng's punch absorbed spiritual energy and Gu insects from the surrounding area into a sphere, which exploded like an atomic bomb.
• The blast flattened two small mountains and left a scorched wasteland, with Zhou Feng's charred body among the ruins.

Zhou Feng survived the devastating punch that destroyed the Three Gu Sect and collected hundreds of souls, strengthening his soul and nearly solidifying his phenomenon. As he named his new technique Invincible Fist and resolved to kill real demons, A Rixi awoke and set out to investigate the sudden loss of half his servants.

• Zhou Feng survived his own destructive punch, which killed everyone at the Three Gu Sect and razed its grounds, then recovered by consuming supplies.

• A Rixi awoke to find half his servants dead, suspected a human Divine Ability Realm expert was responsible, and decided to investigate.

Zhou Feng followed the Human Emperor Scripture’s pull and encountered the demon A Rixi, whose inherited memories recognized him as a Human Emperor Successor. A Rixi struck him down far more easily than expected and began to doubt his strength.

• A Rixi sensed a possible human Divine Ability Realm expert nearby and left its cave, eager for a fight.
• Zhou Feng followed the Human Emperor Scripture’s pull toward the demon, and the two came face-to-face.
• Zhou Feng’s Human Emperor Blood ignited and his Invincible Phenomenon appeared, triggering A Rixi’s inherited hatred of the Human Emperor’s lineage.
• A Rixi attacked Zhou Feng with a powerful punch, badly rattling him and making him nearly spit blood.
• A Rixi wondered whether Zhou Feng was unusually weak, despite having already contacted other demons for help surrounding him.

Zhou Feng fought A Rixi, who overwhelmed him with superior strength and combat skill before unleashing his blood shadow, innate divine ability, and a spear bearing Human Emperor Blood. Zhou Feng countered with the second strike of the Invincible Fist, but A Rixi survived and pinned him with the spear; as A Rixi celebrated, Zhou Feng’s Heart of Tenacity began to trigger.

• A Rixi suppressed Zhou Feng with his physical strength and refined combat techniques, while Zhou Feng endured with his passive abilities and began to counterattack.
