Chapter Summaries

After reaching level 35, Qin Feng unlocked the Bone Authority ring and prepared to return to the God of Bones Tomb, while the KEY Guild delivered thirty thousand years of lifespan to him. Back at the Evil Spirit Academy, he found Verzhini had returned from Great Cold Country with the spoils of her operations.

• Qin Feng gained five levels in a row, reached level 35, and put his free attribute points into agility.
• Qin Feng noted that the Bone Authority seal had lifted and planned to use Ashasiss's bell and enter the God of Bones Tomb.
• Qin Feng sent Gray Chicken to collect thirty thousand years of lifespan from the KEY Guild, then used Teleportation Stones to return home with Gui Ling.
• Qin Feng returned to the Evil Spirit Academy and saw Sister Yuan's electrical spark keeping Evil Tone Old Ghost obedient while he imbued sound for Sky Dome Guild players.
• Crescent Moon Queen Verzhini greeted Qin Feng after returning from Great Cold Country, bringing the spoils she had plundered.

Verzhini reported that she had collected 200,000 years of lifespan in Great Cold Country, while Qin Feng planned to convert the Old-Day Calamity Serpent Fang. A request for help from Frans Country offered him 100,000 years to defeat the Blazing Soaring Demon Bird, a boss whose materials could help Gray Chicken grow.

• Verzhini told Qin Feng that she controlled seventeen large guilds, collected tribute and government tax revenue, and had brought back 200,000 years of lifespan.
• Verzhini asked how to respond to Great Cold Country's government, which was considering using her against Qin Feng, and he told her to claim they were evenly matched while extracting more lifespan.
• Qin Feng calculated that he still lacked enough lifespan to feed the remaining souls to the White Bud Blade, then took out the Old-Day Calamity Serpent Fang to have Evil Tone Old Ghost convert it.
• Late Night, Light Rain told Qin Feng that Frans Country was offering 100,000 years of lifespan for help defeating the Legendary Tier Blazing Soaring Demon Bird.
• Qin Feng summoned Osilio and Gray Chicken and told Gray Chicken to prepare for the fight, while Osilio suggested letting the boss become his bed warmer instead of helping Gray Chicken grow.

Qin Feng had Evil Tone Old Ghost convert the Old-Day Calamity Serpent Fang into a portable-world item, gaining protection against Greater Affixes. He then went to ask the Lightning Fairy to make the oversized fang easier to carry, but she demanded something in return.

• Qin Feng ignored Osilio’s warnings and decided to travel to Frans Country to kill the Blazing Soaring Demon Bird for its rewards and the promised hundred thousand years of Lifespan.
• Qin Feng asked Late Night, Light Rain to tell Frans Country he needed a few minutes, then brought the Old-Day Calamity Serpent Fang to Evil Tone Old Ghost for conversion.
• Evil Tone Old Ghost said he could convert the fang but could not shrink it, and he suggested that the Lightning Fairy could help.
• Qin Feng paid 5,800 years of Lifespan for the conversion, and Evil Tone Old Ghost used his Music Box to turn the fang into a Mythic Tier item that cleared the bearer’s Greater Affix buildup or statuses every five seconds.
• Qin Feng dismissed Evil Tone Old Ghost and went to find the Lightning Fairy, who appeared behind him and offered to store the fang in exchange for something in return.

Qin Feng bought an Old-Day Containment Card from Fairy Yuan and used it to contain the Old-Day Calamity Serpent Fang, strengthening its protection against greater affixes. He then headed for the Paris Ruins to fight the Blazing Soaring Demon Bird, where Frans Country’s players and a drunkard named Dominic awaited him.

• Fairy Yuan offered Qin Feng an Old-Day Containment Card and explained how it could store Old-Day Creature Parts while preserving their effects.
• Qin Feng paid Fairy Yuan one hundred thousand years of lifespan for the card and discovered it could contain Mythic-tier Old-Day Creature Parts and enhance their effects by five percent.
• Qin Feng contained the Old-Day Calamity Serpent Fang, shortening its effect interval from five seconds to 4.75 seconds.
• Qin Feng decided to defeat the Blazing Soaring Demon Bird in Frans Country before attempting Ashasiss’s level 35 challenge.
• More than a hundred Official Players gathered at the Paris Ruins teleportation point to welcome Qin Feng, while Dominic waited nearby, hoping to use Dark Shadow as a stepping stone to strength.

Qin Feng detected Dominic, a powerful Sculptor, hiding in Paris while planning to copy Dark Shadow’s class traits. Qin Feng decided Dominic could be useful if he brought him under control, then confronted him on the church bell tower.

• Qin Feng teleported to the Paris Ruins and used Shadow Perception to survey the surrounding area.
• Qin Feng recognized the disguised drunk as Dominic, a level 19 Sculptor known for carving Wax Figures that copied other players’ class traits.
• Qin Feng realized Dominic had likely come to copy Dark Shadow’s traits and considered using him to consolidate power in the Singapore-Malaysia-Thailand region.
• Qin Feng appeared in front of Dominic on the bell tower, startling him because his disguise had failed.

Qin Feng killed Dominic once, marked him in the Judgment Grounds, and sent him back to the game with instructions to go to Singapore-Malaysia-Thailand. He then met French officials in Paris and learned that the Blazing Soaring Demon Bird’s mark could let the boss burn marked players to resurrect itself.

• Qin Feng briefly killed Dominic, brought him into the Judgment Grounds, then restored his player status while leaving an invisible tracking mark on him.
• Dominic checked his system notifications, realized Dark Shadow had killed him, and decided to go to Singapore-Malaysia-Thailand as instructed.
• Qin Feng returned to the Teleportation Array and met Gabriel and more than a hundred French official players.
• Qin Feng traded with three officials and received a total of a hundred thousand years of lifespan.
• Gabriel told Qin Feng that the Blazing Soaring Demon Bird had killed over four hundred people and afflicted others with its mark.
• Qin Feng learned that the Blazing Soaring Demon Bird could use its mark to burn players to death and absorb their lifespan to resurrect itself.

Qin Feng warned the Frans Country players that the Blazing Soaring Demon Bird would use its marks to resurrect and grow stronger, and told marked players to die once before he killed it. He flew toward the boss while Gabriel spread the warning, though some players questioned whether the resurrection mechanic made the boss invincible.

• Gabriel offered to send three elite priests to help Qin Feng share the boss's Chaos and Corruption effects, but Qin Feng refused and explained the danger of the Blazing Soaring Demon Mark.
• Qin Feng warned that marked players had to die before the boss was killed or they would die permanently when it resurrected, and that they needed Non-Tradable Lifespan because the boss would absorb their Tradable Lifespan.
• Sébastien accepted Qin Feng's offer to help remove her mark, and he killed her with one slash; a short-haired woman also came forward to be killed.
• Qin Feng asked Gabriel for the boss's location, flew off, and gave the players half an hour to spread the warning and help marked players die once.
• Gabriel issued the warning through official channels and ordered marked Official Personnel to remove their marks, while players debated the threat and questioned whether the boss could be invincible.

Qin Feng waited for the half hour to pass before attacking the Blazing Soaring Demon Bird, while marked players in Paris chose whether to trust his warning. The chapter ended with Qin Feng charging at the boss and sixty-six marked players still refusing to die and shed their tradable lifespan.

• Over a thousand players received the Blazing Soaring Demon Mark; many died once to protect their remaining non-tradable lifespan, while others rushed to exchange tradable lifespan at the Fairy Forest Guild.
• Lucaser persuaded his friends to ignore Qin Feng's warning, suspecting Qin Feng wanted the boss to absorb their lifespan, and he also resented Sébastien's admiration for Dark Shadow.
• Qin Feng waited invisibly atop the Divine Authority Tower while Gabriel and the Paris Official Guild watched the Blazing Soaring Demon Bird from a distance.
• Qin Feng sensed that sixty-six marked players remained within fifty kilometers, then charged at the Blazing Soaring Demon Bird with the White Bud Blade.

Qin Feng killed the legendary Blazing Soaring Demon Bird, Anavia, in seconds with his devastating attack rotation. As she fell, the Blazing Soaring Demon Marks on Qin Feng and other marked players began to burn, leaving her resurrection mechanism in play.

• Qin Feng approached Anavia and was branded by her Blazing Soaring Demon Mark as her greater affixes surged toward him.
• Qin Feng unleashed his attacks, dealing over 350 million damage before finishing Anavia with Instant Annihilation for 10.71 billion damage.
• Anavia's health bar emptied and her body crashed to the ground, stunning the watching Frans Country players.
• The Blazing Soaring Demon Mark on Qin Feng began burning, and the marks on other players from Frans Country began to burn as well.

Lucaser and many other players died permanently when the Blazing Soaring Demon Marks ignited, while Qin Feng learned from White Bud that the Blazing Soaring Demon Bird would resurrect with far stronger affixes. As the bird revived, Qin Feng prepared to strike it again.

• The Blazing Soaring Demon Marks ignited across Lucaser and his brothers, and Big Daddy's skill could not keep them from reaching 100% instant death.
• Some players drank poison and resurrected, but Lucaser and the others could not kill themselves in time and died permanently.
• Players in the Paris Ruins praised Dark Shadow for warning them about the marks and worried about what would happen when the boss returned.
• White Bud warned Qin Feng that the Blazing Soaring Demon Bird would resurrect with much stronger surrounding affixes, and Qin Feng discussed her soul messages with her.
• Black flames poured into the bird's corpse, and when its health bar appeared, Qin Feng attacked with a flashing blade.

Qin Feng killed the resurrected Blazing Soaring Demon Bird again, collected its loot, and returned to Evil Spirit Academy after punishing a French player who planned to steal from him. He began inspecting his haul and discovered an Ascension Scroll that could grant a powerful Order ability.

• Qin Feng killed the resurrected Blazing Soaring Demon Bird instantly and doubled his Greedy Hand loot effect.
• Qin Feng collected the boss's rich rewards while residual Greater Affixes continued to endanger nearby players.
• Nibelungen suggested taking some of Qin Feng's loot, but Gabriel rebuked him and defended cooperation with Great Xia.
• Qin Feng appeared before the French players and killed Nibelungen with a Shadow Blade.
• Qin Feng teleported back to Evil Spirit Academy, where he found an Ascension Scroll among his rewards.

Qin Feng obtained the Mythic Tier Eye of Surgery order and equipped it on Anavia’s Feather Gloves, gaining a way to seize a slain target’s talent. The gloves’ dodge-triggered full heal made his defenses seem nearly unbreakable, and he began considering whose talent to take.

• Qin Feng examined the Eye of Surgery order, which let him claim a talent after killing its owner but allowed him to retain only one such talent at a time.
• He decided to attach the order to the Mythic Tier Anavia’s Feather Gloves he had obtained from the Blazing Soaring Demon Bird.
• Qin Feng recognized that the gloves’ Blazing Soaring Dance effect would restore his health whenever he dodged, greatly strengthening his survivability.
• He transferred the Deflection effect from Hartman’s Deflection Gauntlets and applied the Eye of Surgery scroll to the new gloves.
• An uncanny, pupil-less eye appeared among the gloves’ black feathers, and Qin Feng started considering which player’s talent to seize.

Qin Feng prepared Gray Chicken to grow while Ashasiss summoned him for his level 35 trial and revealed that he must kill three World Spines to open a portal to the Deep Blue Civilization. Ashasiss vanished after leaving behind a hostile substitute, and Qin Feng was left with the still-inactive portal.

• Qin Feng learned Endless Nightmare at level 30 and learned the Legendary passive skill Dark Shadow Body, while saving his evolution points for Thieving Saint's Hand.
• Qin Feng gave Gray Chicken fire-element materials to absorb and left Osilio to watch over its growth.
• Qin Feng summoned Ashasiss, who opened a portal that showed the Deep Blue Civilization and explained that it was the site of his final trial.
• Ashasiss told Qin Feng that his level 35 challenge was to kill three of Blue Star's five World Spines and release their energy to open the portal fully.
• Ashasiss explained that the portal could send Qin Feng to the Deep Blue Civilization as one of its players, then vanished after saying she could no longer assist him and would leave a hostile substitute behind.

After Ashasiss vanished, Qin Feng speculated about her fate and the World Spine before discovering that her hostile Emotional Separation Body, Aishasiss, had joined his guild. He found Gray Chicken growing in the magma and began questioning Aishasiss about Ashasiss.

• Qin Feng confirmed Ashasiss was gone and wondered whether he could meet her again after surviving and ascending to the divine throne.
• Qin Feng considered what White Bud and Big Eyes might know about the World Spine, then left the Deep Blue Civilization Portal.
• Qin Feng found Aishasiss, a new affiliated NPC resembling a child version of Ashasiss, beside Osilio.
• Qin Feng saw Gray Chicken absorbing magma energy as it neared the end of its growth stage.
• Aishasiss explained that she was Ashasiss's Emotional Separation Body and part of the original, then Qin Feng tried to reassure her that they were on the same side.

Qin Feng learned that Ashasiss had split off an emotional offshoot named Aishasiss, who had killed him in an earlier cycle and now had to serve him as an NPC. He raised his skills to level 35, increasing his combat strength before his planned trip to the God of Bones' Tomb.

• Aishasiss told Qin Feng that she had killed him in a previous cycle and revealed that Ashasiss had violated their agreement to preserve his memories and open a portal, leaving her imprisoned in an unknown epoch.
• Qin Feng inferred that Ashasiss had split off her emotions into Aishasiss, who was hostile toward him but compelled to provide skill upgrades; he wondered whether defeating her would strengthen his Blade of Judgment.
• Osilio mistook Qin Feng's request to raise his skills as a demand to have babies, and Aishasiss reminded him that she might find him a female dragon if he performed well.
• Qin Feng used Aishasiss's NPC services to raise his active skills to level 35, improving their effects and increasing his combat strength by at least 20%.
• Qin Feng checked his upgraded skills and felt more confident about going to the God of Bones' Tomb.

Qin Feng reviewed the enormous gains from his upgrades, including overwhelming defenses and powerful greater affix resistance. He considered improving his instant death affix with more souls but decided the lifespan cost could wait.

• Qin Feng inspected his Attribute Panel and saw that his strength, agility, and spirit had reached 12,432, with immense attack and defensive stats.
• Qin Feng calculated that his fixed defense and resistances would still make him exceptionally hard to kill even against enemies with full penetration.
• Qin Feng reviewed his greater resistances and concluded that enemies would struggle to build enough affix gauge before the Old-Day Calamity Serpent Fang cleared it.
• Qin Feng checked his greater affixes and found that his equipment provided limited instant death and corruption affixes.
• Qin Feng considered filling the White Bud Blade with souls to increase its instant death affix, but postponed it because each soul cost 18,000 years of lifespan.
• Qin Feng noted that his four stone tablets had changed after seven days of grinding monsters in Sakura Country.

Qin Feng enhanced several pieces of equipment with Ancient God Cursed Slates and Blessing Tablets, sharply increasing his Instant Death Affix and speed. As he prepared to explore the God of Bones' Tomb, Zhang Jinxuan warned him that a murderous maniac had attacked their real-world hideout.

• Qin Feng rerolled the Calamity Ancient God's Cursed Slate on the White Bud Blade and kept an affix that greatly increased its Instant Death Affix despite its divinity-draining downside.
• Qin Feng used the Goddess of Love Ileinasi's Curse on the Ascension Machine, trading its All Attributes bonus for a major increase to global Unassailable.
• Qin Feng applied the Illusory Dream God's Blessing to his Bone Authority ring, gaining 48 Instant Death Affix and raising his total to 165.48.
• Qin Feng used the Blood Source Eldritch God's Blessing Tablet on the Yelian Curse Seal Crusher, increasing his Movement Speed, Attack Speed, and Skill Cast Speed.
• Qin Feng prepared to explore the God of Bones' Tomb, but Zhang Jinxuan messaged him that a murderous maniac had attacked their real-world hideout and injured several people.

After Zhang Jinxuan reported that a powerful mass of flesh had attacked the Sky Dome Guild’s team in Magic City, Qin Feng headed there to intervene. The attacker was revealed to be a Sakura Country player controlling a puppet with a percentage instant-death affix, who planned to kill Qin Feng.

• Zhang Jinxuan told Qin Feng that a mass of flesh had attacked Shuǎngwāiwāi and Bubble Fish’s team while they hunted a weakened Jadeite Tier boss, swallowing five guild members.
• Qin Feng suspected the flesh monster was made from dead players and logged out to respond.
• A long-haired assassin hid underwater in the Huangpu River while directing his Flesh Mountain Puppet to hunt Sky Dome Guild members.
• The assassin claimed his puppet could regenerate indefinitely, had no health bar, and possessed a percentage instant-death affix granted by a Cursed Slate.
• Qin Feng flew from the Evil Spirit Academy toward central Magic City at more than one kilometer per second.

Qin Feng arrived at the abandoned park and swiftly defeated the hidden controller of the Flesh Mountain Puppet. The Shuǎngwāiwāi Team watched in shock as he delivered the mutilated Matsushita Rìquǎn to them.

• The Black Widow’s spiders failed to find the invisible enemy, while Bubble Fish’s demons kept the regenerating Flesh Mountain Puppet occupied.
• Shuǎngwāiwāi and the team discussed how difficult it would be for Dark Shadow to find and defeat the hidden controller.
• Bubble Fish realized the Flesh Mountain Puppet had gone silent and stopped moving.
• Qin Feng appeared and dropped the wounded Matsushita Rìquǎn before the team after severing his limbs.
• The team marveled that Qin Feng had traveled more than thirty kilometers and subdued Matsushita Rìquǎn in under half a minute.

Qin Feng captured Matsushita Rìquǎn after uncovering his abilities and the Goddess of Death's Cursed Slate, then freed four Sky Dome Guild members’ bodies from the Flesh Mountain Puppet. As Qin Feng wondered whether his authority of judgment could restore the dead, the White Bud Blade sent him a soul message.

• Qin Feng used Shadow Perception and Abyss curses to locate and disable Matsushita Rìquǎn, then severed his hands and feet and dragged him from the Huangpu River.
• Qin Feng used Abyss Gaze Curse to inspect Matsushita Rìquǎn and discovered his Goddess of Death's Cursed Slate and the instant-death effects on his pendant.
• Qin Feng brought Matsushita Rìquǎn before Shuǎngwāiwāi, Bubble Fish, and the others, identified him as a Sakura player, and told them not to kill him.
• Qin Feng separated the bodies of four Sky Dome Guild members from the Flesh Mountain Puppet and considered whether his authority of judgment could bring them back to life.
• The White Bud Blade sent Qin Feng a soul message.
