Chapter Summaries

Lin Yi and the other New Students tested the Fire and Thunder Layers, then debated how to handle recruits as they gathered more stabilizing beads. He kept his policy of accepting anyone willing to cooperate and sent three groups to raid neighboring islands, where resistance was met with force.

• Durut and the other prodigies borrowed two Origin Stabilizing Pearls, tested the Fire and Thunder Layers, and returned with the pearls transformed into Fire and Lightning Stabilizing Beads.

• War-Heaven Dragon reported that some New Students refused to cooperate or sign the contract, and Lin Yi ordered them left behind on the islands.

Lin Yi led more than sixteen hundred New Students through Island Battles while seeking Origin Stabilizing Pearls, after discovering that one had merged with a Heavenly Dao Stone Fragment and become a Crimson Origin Stabilizing Pearl that strengthened his physique. He escorted a small group through the Fire and Thunder Layers to the World Annihilation Spirit Boat, then returned to the battle below as Academy elders brought the students aboard.

Lin Yi and Gu Chengan captured Niu Chuangchuang and accepted the difficult-to-cultivate Divine Feet ability as compensation before recruiting more new students into Lin Yi’s alliance.

• Ling Yunxiao told Lin Yi that he had risen to third place on the Dragon Tiger Ranking.

Lin Yi helped the new students cross the dangerous layers and learned that the Island Trial’s score depended on their performance, not merely reaching the Spirit Boat. After the trial ended, he earned 320 points while Lumba passed, and Lumba discovered that his father Gerard would observe the upcoming Demon Dragon Realm trial.

• Lin Yi and Ling Yunxiao agreed to let new students temper their organs in the Blue Fire Layer before escorting them across the Thunder Layer with Lightning Stabilizing Beads.

• Lumba told Lin Yi that his father wanted him to capture the Magic Dragon, and Lin Yi looked for Gerard aboard the World Annihilation Spirit Boat.
• Lin Yi noticed Emperor Jin Mie's killing intent, but Zhou Huan intervened and warned Lin Yi that Jin Mie was a late-stage Emperor Realm expert from Dark Mist City.

• Zhou Huan transferred the compensation to Lin Yi: authorization for one Heaven-tier relic comprehension opportunity.

After the Island Trial, Lin Yi and the surviving new students gathered aboard the World Annihilation Spirit Boat and learned they could spend Trial Points on treasures and Academy privileges. Lin Yi used 150 points to become a top-tier A disciple, gaining the right to choose an Academy Elder as his master, but he ignored Zhou Huan’s offer and left that decision for later.

• The Great Elder announced that the students would have three days to rest before the next tests in the Demon Dragon Realm and revealed the rewards available for Trial Points.

• Zhou Huan privately urged Lin Yi to choose him as a master, but Lin Yi dismissed the offer and decided to keep looking.

Lin Yi spent his Trial Points on rare materials before the Demon Dragon Realm Trial and refused Elder Qingfeng’s request to help research a breakthrough method. Qingfeng left him a booklet on the Heaven and Earth Creation Law of World Law, while the Great Elder revealed that a powerful figure had taken an interest in Lin Yi.

• The Great Elder told Zhou Huan that another powerful figure was watching Lin Yi and warned that even Zhou Huan’s master would not dare interfere if that person chose Lin Yi as a disciple.
• Lin Yi used his Trial Points to exchange for Heavenly Star Spirit Iron and other rare materials, spending all his remaining points before the trial.
• Lin Yi began preparing for the Demon Dragon Realm Trial, but Elder Qingfeng of the Research Institute visited him after observing his passage through the Blue Fire and World Annihilation Thunder layers.

• Qingfeng gave Lin Yi a booklet of his research findings, whose first line read, “The Heaven and Earth Creation Law of World Law!”

After reviewing Elder Qingfeng’s risky method for creating a World Law, Lin Yi declined to become part of the research and joined his companions in the Spirit Boat dining area. There, they learned the next Trial might require them to cooperate with mercenary teams against three Emperor Realm Magic Dragons, while Lin Yi wondered whether the Demon Dragon Realm’s Rabbit-Eared race had survived.

• Lin Yi read Elder Qingfeng’s notes on carving out a world through physical strength, judged the method too risky, and put the notes away to return later.
• Lin Yi met Ling Shanshan, Fu Dao, Ming Yao, Nan Huang, Durut, War-Heaven Dragon, and others in the dining area to discuss the upcoming Trial.
• Ming Yao reported that mercenary teams summoned by Starfall Academy had stayed aboard the Spirit Boat, suggesting the new students would work with them in the next Trial.
• Lumba shared a rumor that the Trial would pit them against three Emperor Realm Magic Dragons in the Sacred Dragon Mountain Range, and Lin Yi advised the group to keep the information in mind.
• A rabbit-eared maid served Lin Yi special dishes, prompting him to ask whether the Demon Dragon Realm’s Rabbit-Eared race had survived the Academy’s invasion.

The captain confronted Lin Yi and the students supporting him, leaving the dispute unresolved.

• Lin Yi heard that Gu Chaokuang had been arrested for allegedly counterfeiting Void Crystal Coins and saw the Enforcement Captain torture him while demanding information.
• Lin Yi led students from the Dragon Tiger Ranking through the crowd and questioned the captain about the disturbance and Gu Chaokuang's alleged crime.

• Lin Yi stopped the captain, while Ming Yao and War-Heaven Dragon challenged his authority to obey an Emperor Alliance rather than the Academy.
• The Enforcement Captain asked whether Lin Yi and the other students were determined to oppose him.

Lin Yi refused to let the Outer War Palace’s Law Enforcement Team take Gu Chaokuang away and called on Zhou Huan to intervene. Zhou Huan claimed Gu Chaokuang was needed for the Seventh Vein’s research, leaving the Enforcement Captain unable to take him.

• War-Heaven Dragon and Nan Huang challenged the Enforcement Captain as others gathered to defend Lin Yi.
• Lin Yi treated Gu Chaokuang with the Emerald Treasure Bead and openly acknowledged their close relationship.

• Lin Yi insisted Gu Chaokuang had to be saved and threatened to contact Elder Qingfeng of the Research Institute.
• Zhou Huan claimed Gu Chaokuang was useful to the Seventh Vein’s Void Crystal Coin research and declared that he was taking him away.

Zhou Huan rescued Gu Chaokuang from the Law Enforcement Team and gave Lin Yi a taste of rare Enlightenment Tea before returning the Emerald Treasure Bead. Gu Chaokuang recovered and told Lin Yi how their group became separated, revealing that Wushi had joined Star Constellation Academy.

• Gu Chaokuang explained that Ascension Iron City had accused their group of using counterfeit Void Crystal Coins, separating him from Venerable Saint, Qian Wuliang, and the others.
• Gu Chaokuang told Lin Yi that Wushi had joined Star Constellation Academy rather than Starfall Academy.

Lin Yi learned that Gu Chaokuang and his companions had been hunted because they spent Void Crystal Coins linked to the Eternal Life Alliance, and he promised to protect them and find Wuchen Gongzi. He paid Chun Tai Nuan to investigate Wuchen’s imprisonment and asked him to keep Wuchen alive until Lin Yi could afford a rescue.

• Gu Chaokuang told Lin Yi that Wuchen Gongzi had likely been captured in Ascension Iron City while helping the others escape.
• Lin Yi promised to arrange a place for Gu Chaokuang in Starfall Academy and said he would investigate Wuchen’s situation.
• Lin Yi asked Chun Tai Nuan to find out what had happened to Wuchen Gongzi and paid him one hundred and ten Void Crystal Coins.

• Chun Tai Nuan offered information about Chao Tianxuan for five thousand Void Crystal Coins, but Lin Yi dismissed him as a minor threat and left.

Lin Yi learned about Chao Tianxuan and Yan Long, then investigated a Buddha Body Method secret art that could accelerate his Indestructible Body’s transformation. After studying Niu Chuangchuang’s body and the method, he entered closed-door cultivation to adapt the secret art to his own technique.

• Chun Tai Nuan sent Lin Yi free intelligence about Chao Tianxuan and Yan Long, who were connected to the Outer War Palace and the Sky Swallowing Alliance.
• Lin Yi weighed the danger posed by his enemies and decided that gaining Emperor Realm strength quickly mattered more than pursuing the True Realm of Heavenly Palace trial.
• Lin Yi visited Niu Chuangchuang and learned that the Buddha Body Method could consume Innate Dragon-Tiger Power to strengthen the Indestructible Body, but would destroy that talent.
• Niu Chuangchuang let Lin Yi study his body and the Buddha Body Method in exchange for an Immortal Pill.
• Lin Yi rented a closed-door cultivation room to devise a version of the secret art compatible with his Ten-Realm Flesh Body Refining Method.

Lin Yi perfected the Dragon-Tiger Devouring Art to help him approach the Emperor Realm Indestructible Body. In the Spirit Vine World, he discovered that Little Jianmu had grown dramatically after fusing with a Bodhi Fruit Seed and then manifested the Destiny Holy Cup for his next task.

• Lin Yi used inventive Golden Talents to create the Dragon-Tiger Devouring Art, which consumed Innate Dragon-Tiger Power to advance his body refinement.
• Lin Yi entered the Spirit Vine World and found that Little Jianmu had grown more than ten zhang tall and fallen into a deep sleep.
• Senior Jianmu explained that it had infused its origin into the Bodhi Fruit Seed, which later fused with Little Jianmu's roots.
• Lin Yi covered Little Jianmu's roots with Earth's Breath Soil and went to the Central Mountain Peak.
• Lin Yi manifested the Destiny Holy Cup, where Qi Luck Power flowed like colorful mist and water vapor.

Lin Yi used the Destiny Holy Cup to obtain the Innate Dragon-Tiger Golden Body and cultivated the Dragon-Tiger Devouring Art, then broke through to the Emperor Realm Indestructible Body. His breakthrough shook the Spirit Vine World, and he emerged as a completed Immortal Martial Saint with a greatly evolved level of life.

• Lin Yi drew the Innate Dragon-Tiger Golden Body using 400 points of destiny power and worried that consuming too much destiny power could invite disaster.
• Lin Yi prepared to sacrifice his new talent to cultivate the Dragon-Tiger Devouring Art while Fu Dao, Ming Yao, and the others could not reach him before the Trial.
• Lin Yi’s breakthrough shook the Spirit Vine World, and Senior Jianmu Divine Tree and Great Shaman Bruce helped protect its inhabitants.
• Lin Yi’s body transformed as he broke through to the Emperor Realm Indestructible Body, drawing in energy from beyond the world through nine pillars of Undying Qi-Blood.
• Lin Yi rose as a completed Immortal Martial Saint and found that his new body could easily suppress his former self.
