Chapter Summaries

Ye Feng battered Ōtsutsuki Isshiki with Sumeru and the Kusanagi Sword, then concealed the sword when Isshiki tried to claim it. Their battle continued as Ye Feng disrupted Isshiki’s chakra through his Tenketsu and struck him with spirit fire, which Isshiki mistakenly treated as ordinary flames.

• Ye Feng used Sumeru to drive Isshiki into a huge crater and stab him with the Kusanagi Sword, but Isshiki grabbed the blade and admired it while his wound healed.
• Ye Feng recalled the Kusanagi Sword and concealed it inside his body, refusing to surrender it despite Isshiki’s threats.
• Isshiki attacked with Chakra Rods, but Ye Feng used Sumeru to evade them and jabbed Isshiki’s Tenketsu with True Qi, briefly disrupting his control of his body.
• Isshiki retreated and questioned Ye Feng about what he had done, but Ye Feng attacked again, vanished behind him, and struck him with spirit fire.
• Isshiki dismissed Ye Feng’s blow as weak and reached back to pat out the flames, unaware that the True Qi-fueled spirit fire would not go out until his True Qi was dispersed.

Ye Feng and Kaguya tried to feed Isshiki to the Ten-Tails God Tree after Ye Feng trapped him with Sumeru. Isshiki broke free, wounded Ye Feng, and prepared to kill Kaguya as she charged him with Chakra Rods.

• Ye Feng's Spirit Fire forced Isshiki to reveal his second form, but Kaguya ambushed him with three Chakra Rods and declared that she wanted to live.
• Isshiki used Sukunahikona to shrink himself, but Ye Feng detected him and slowed his flow of time with Sumeru.
• Ye Feng urged Kaguya to take him to the God Tree, and she transformed its trunk into a huge mouth for Isshiki.
• Isshiki returned to his normal size near the God Tree, exhausted Ye Feng's ocular power, and struck him hard enough to send him crashing to the ground.
• Kaguya charged Isshiki with two Chakra Rods, and Isshiki turned toward her and raised his hand to kill her.

Ye Feng and Kaguya wounded Isshiki and drove him to flee, though he escaped before they could finish him off. After Ye Feng woke, Kaguya thanked him by offering him Isshiki’s juvenile Ten-Tails.

• Ye Feng held Isshiki in place and used Sumeru to slow him, letting Kaguya pierce him with a Chakra Rod.
• Ye Feng kicked Isshiki toward the God Tree, which devoured his lower body, but Isshiki escaped by using Shinjutsu and crawling away with his hands.
• Ye Feng tried to pursue Isshiki, then collapsed from his injuries and passed out.
• Ye Feng woke beside Kaguya, who said she had spared him because she sensed a familiar aura from him.
• Kaguya pulled a juvenile Ten-Tails from a spatial rift and offered it to Ye Feng as thanks for saving her.

Ye Feng absorbed the Ten-Tails’ advanced energy to transform his true qi and begin advancing to the Golden Core Realm. A heavenly tribulation appeared overhead, and the chapter ended as lightning struck him.

• Kaguya explained that the Ten-Tails was no longer useful to her and gave it to Ye Feng, who sensed its energy was more advanced than his true qi.
• Kaguya encouraged Ye Feng to keep cultivating, and he regained his confidence and prepared to absorb the Ten-Tails.
• Ye Feng absorbed the Ten-Tails’ energy, compressed and transformed his true qi, and began forming a golden core.
• Dark clouds gathered as Ye Feng’s breakthrough triggered a lightning tribulation, and a giant lightning dragon appeared in the sky.
• Kaguya moved to help Ye Feng, but he warned her to stay back so the tribulation would not grow stronger; lightning then struck him.

Ye Feng struggled to survive successive tribulation lightning strikes with Kaguya’s energy beads, but his defenses could not withstand the third. The Kusanagi Sword defied his order to retreat and shielded him, giving Ye Feng the resolve to strike back and cleave through the thunderclouds.

• Ye Feng asked Kaguya for energy, and she gave him five emerald-green beads that he arranged into a healing formation.
• Ye Feng used his remaining energy to raise a shield against the second bolt, but the lightning broke through and left him badly injured.
• As a third, stronger bolt descended, the Kusanagi Sword appeared on its own and blocked part of the strike despite Ye Feng ordering it back.
• The Kusanagi Sword cracked under the lightning, and Ye Feng summoned Susanoo and infused the sword with energy.
• Ye Feng swung the enlarged Kusanagi Sword and sent Sword Energy through the thunderclouds, opening a path to the clear sky.

Ye Feng survived the tribulation and awakened in the Golden Core Realm with lightning-controlling powers and the ability to perceive origin force. Kaguya left with the talismans he gave her, while Ye Feng resolved to continue pursuing ascension.

• Kaguya announced she was leaving, and Ye Feng gave her his Wood Spirit Talismans and Invisibility Spirit Talismans before she departed.
• Ye Feng perceived origin force flowing through the world and around the God Tree, then reaffirmed his goal of ascension.

Ye Feng refused Ryūmyaku's request to destroy the God Tree, promising instead to build a force capable of protecting the Shinobi World. After returning to Looking Mountain Village to cultivate, he used his divine sense to find Xiao Ling in danger and appeared at her doorway.

• Ye Feng forced Ryūmyaku's power of origin out of himself and learned that Ryūmyaku had brought him there to destroy the God Tree.

• Ye Feng returned to Looking Mountain Village and discovered with his fifty-kilometer divine sense that Xiao Ling's parents had been knocked unconscious and two men were attacking her.
• Ye Feng stopped the two men with his power, and Xiao Ling saw him standing in the doorway after they collapsed.

• General Pinggong beat the two offending soldiers and offered his life in exchange for theirs, but Ye Feng demanded a civilian’s judgment of him.
• Ye Feng selected a white-haired old man and used his Sharingan to ask how General Pinggong treated the civilians.

• Ye Feng restored the old man’s youth, astonishing the crowd, who knelt and hailed him as divine.
• Ye Feng spared Pinggong and his soldiers but refused to spare the two men who had harmed Xiao Ling.
• Two bolts of lightning struck the men, reducing them to ash.

• Xiao Ling struggled to choose between Ye Feng and her parents, and her mother told Ye Feng to take her with him.

Xiao Ling chose to stay with her parents rather than leave with Ye Feng, and he gave her a way to keep his memories and promised he could resurrect her in the future. After Ye Feng vanished, she discovered his voice remained inside the protective necklace he had given her.

• Xiao Ling decided to remain with her parents, refused to let Ye Feng seal her memories, and agreed to wait for the day he could resurrect her.
• Ye Feng rejuvenated Xiao Ling and her parents, then made a necklace from an Energy Orb and bound it to Xiao Ling as protection.
• Ryūmyaku warned that the place was rejecting him, and Ye Feng said goodbye to Xiao Ling before disappearing.
• Xiao Ling heard Ye Feng's voice from the necklace, and he told her he was inside it and could watch over her.
• Xiao Ling's parents worried that she was speaking to herself, but she insisted that she was fine.

• Ye Feng learned that the Ryūmyaku could not send him back to his original time for at least a hundred years, so he set out to check the Shinobi World.

• Ye Feng said he would search for Feng Yu’s body and left the Hokage Office.

• Minato Namikaze invited Ye Feng for a drink, but Ye Feng declined and left, prompting Minato to worry about what he might do to Iwagakure.

• Uchiha Tianchang and his son, along with Takeda Hyuga and his son, arrived to visit Ye Feng.

Ye Feng confirmed that a resurrection Ninjutsu existed but required the dead person's body or soul, then used Feng Yu's hair to search for her remains. The flame led him to the battlefield near Iwagakure, where he found no body and suspected it had been destroyed or taken with a spatial ability.

• Ye Feng stood unharmed on the swamp, evaded Iwagakure’s rock cannonballs, and trapped and beat the ninja who tried to seize him with the Headhunter Jutsu.
