Ning Chuan and the Heavenly Kings gathered in Heaven Suppression City No. 9 to discuss the Holy Heaven Alliance’s move to send a powerful force into the Divine Martial Stele. Ning Chuan suspected a mysterious black-robed Heavenly King might be an awakened Law Spirit, but the meeting turned to planning for the incoming threat.

• Ning Chuan noticed that Divine Sense vanished into a newly arrived black-robed Heavenly King, and Li Huo introduced the figure as a solitary expert who wished to remain anonymous.
• Wei Chen told Ning Chuan that he and Bai Qi could not see through the stranger and suspected an awakened Law Spirit, but they decided not to test the figure so the Federation could preserve its alliance with the aliens.
• Ning Chuan considered how a Law Spirit’s strength might be diminished after awakening and wondered whether the black-robed figure could have reached the Sea or River Realm.
• Xu Yuan announced that the Holy Heaven Alliance would send twenty-five Heavenly Kings, including three Great River Realm experts, through the special passage into the Divine Martial Stele.
• The Heavenly Kings discussed whether the Holy Heaven Alliance’s large deployment confirmed the rumored legacy, while Ning Chuan recalled how the Alliance governed the sects of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

Xu Yuan secured agreement for Martial Star’s experts to make a Martial Dao Oath against the Holy Heaven Alliance and proposed cooperation to pursue the Divine Martial Stele’s Dao inheritance. The factions then deadlocked over the allocation of the Stele’s special passages.

• Xu Yuan persuaded the Heavenly Kings to agree that Martial Star’s experts entering the Divine Martial Stele would make a Martial Dao Oath to unite against the Holy Heaven Alliance.
• Xu Yuan proposed that Martial Star’s factions cooperate to seek the Dao inheritance and adopted the ferocious beast leader’s suggested division if it could be passed on multiple times.
• Hu Yun, the ferocious beast leader, and Luan Teng argued over how to divide Martial Star’s twenty-four special passages.
• Luan Teng proposed four passages for the ferocious beasts and ten each for the aliens and Federation, and the ferocious beast leader accepted.
• Hu Yun offered ten passages to the aliens and ferocious beasts, but they opposed the proposal, leaving the meeting at an impasse.

Ning Chuan watched the dispute over places in the Divine Martial Stele turn into a demand that he share his spiritual cultivation methods. He mocked Luan Teng and Li Huo for invoking Martial Star’s welfare, then the black-robed figure challenged whether Ning Chuan had created the methods himself.

• The Federation and other races argued over how many places each faction would receive in the Divine Martial Stele, while Ning Chuan and Wei Chen suspected the other races were exploiting Martial Star’s crisis.
• Luan Teng agreed to the Federation receiving fourteen places if Ning Chuan shared the Divine Wave Meditation Method, claiming it would strengthen Martial Star.
• Ning Chuan asked whether Luan Teng could afford the method, then offered to give the methods to everyone for free if Luan Teng died.
• The vicious beast leader showed interest in Luan Teng’s death, but Ning Chuan said he had been teasing him and challenged the other races to sacrifice themselves for Martial Star.
• Li Huo accused Ning Chuan of acting out of spite, and Ning Chuan retorted that Li Huo and Luan Teng could die fighting the Heavenly Martial Realm.
• The black-robed figure asked Ning Chuan whether he had created the Divine Wave Meditation Method and the Spirit Forging Meditation Method himself.

Ning Chuan rejected the black-robed man’s claim that the Moon God Ruins belonged to Ye Qingwu, the Goddess of Night, and refused to surrender the Divine Wave Meditation Method. Negotiations over passage allocations for the Divine Martial Stele nearly erupted into violence, but the vicious beasts’ leader urged everyone to keep talking.

• The black-robed man claimed that the Moon God Ruins belonged to Ye Qingwu, and Ning Chuan challenged him to prove it while mocking the claim.
• Ning Chuan argued that the Federation’s long history gave it stronger ancestral claims to Martial Star, and Federation Heavenly Kings backed him.
• Luan Teng urged Ning Chuan to hand over the Divine Wave Meditation Method, but Ning Chuan threatened to put a bounty on him.
• Li Huo offered the Federation fourteen special passages in exchange for sharing the method, or demanded that the Federation split the remaining passages with the other races.
• Hu Yun rejected Li Huo’s demand, and the Heavenly Kings’ auras shattered the conference room’s furnishings as tensions escalated.
• The leader of the vicious beasts stepped in and offered to give up one special passage so negotiations could continue.

The Federation’s negotiations with the alien race over passageways and the Divine Wave Meditation Method collapsed as the alien race maintained its hard line. After the Heavenly Kings debated the threat of an awakened Law Spirit and the Federation’s options, Bai Qi and Wei Chen told Ning Chuan to focus on cultivation and grow stronger before taking on the Federation’s burdens.

• The alien race and the Federation failed to agree on passageways, and the ferocious beasts ended the meeting before leaving with their deal for Ning Chuan’s mental power cultivation method still open.
• Xu Yuan criticized Ning Chuan’s forceful approach to negotiations, while Ye Wuchen defended him and challenged Xu Yuan’s demand that he bear responsibility for the Federation.
• Wei Chen argued that the alien race had used the meditation method as a pretext and agreed with Ning Chuan that the black-robed figure was likely an awakened Law Spirit.
• The Heavenly Kings rejected letting people from the Heavenly Martial Realm enter Martial Star, and Bai Qi warned that the Federation might use its ultimate weapon if the alien race refused to yield.
• Bai Qi and Wei Chen escorted Ning Chuan out and urged him to concentrate on cultivation rather than attend the next meeting, and Ning Chuan bowed before leaving.

Si Nanbo urged the alien Heavenly Kings to prepare for conflict with the Federation and revealed that he planned to obtain the Dao lineage inside the Divine Martial Stele. He demonstrated his ability to regrow Luan Teng’s severed hand and hinted at the lineage’s overwhelming power.

• Si Nanbo said the aliens should ally with the Federation if it accepted their terms, or seek cooperation with the Holy Heaven Alliance if it refused.
• Si Nanbo argued that the aliens needed to prioritize their own strength and could eventually cooperate with geniuses from factions within the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom.
• Luan Teng proposed killing Ning Chuan to seize the Divine Wave Meditation Method, but Li Huo and Si Nanbo rejected acting until the aliens were stronger.
• Si Nanbo said the aliens would obtain the Dao lineage in the Divine Martial Stele before killing Ning Chuan, and he called for an intelligence network in Federation territory.
• Si Nanbo poured his blood onto Luan Teng’s severed arm and caused a new left hand to grow, then described the Divine Martial Stele’s Prison-Suppressing Dao Lineage as incomparable to his body-cultivation techniques.

After the Federation’s negotiations ended badly, Ning Chuan focused on strengthening himself and decided to seek treasures at the Divine Martial Stele. He consumed a Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit, gained over a hundred Mystic Truths, and then set out with Elder Nie for the stele.

• Ning Chuan returned to the Heavenly River with Lu Zhan and explained that the negotiations had gone poorly, reinforcing his resolve to improve his strength.
• Lu Zhan agreed to remain behind and stabilize his cultivation while Elder Nie offered to accompany Ning Chuan to the Divine Martial Stele.
• Ning Chuan swallowed the Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit he had taken from Luan Teng and gained over a hundred Mystic Truths.
• Ning Chuan judged that the new Mystic Truths added little to his immediate combat power but would help him adapt to opponents and eventually strengthen his Force when they evolved into Laws.
• Ning Chuan calmed himself for an hour, then flew with Elder Nie toward the Divine Martial Stele in the North Sea Domain.

Ning Chuan and Elder Nie reached the Divine Martial Stele, where they discussed its rising aura and the treasures it had begun releasing. A sword shot from the stele, and martial artists across the area rushed to intercept it.

• Ning Chuan and Elder Nie flew toward the Divine Martial Stele as Elder Nie explained that its treasures had improved since Martial Star's revival.
• Ning Chuan sensed the stele's savage aura, and Elder Nie warned that it grew stronger near the structure.
• Ning Chuan and Elder Nie arrived above the exposed seabed, where teams of martial artists searched for treasures around the stele.
• A sword shot from the Divine Martial Stele, piercing a Divine General's Force handprint after the attack slowed it slightly.
• Nearby Knights, Divine Generals, and treasure-hunting teams raced toward the sword's path to claim it.

Ning Chuan sensed a connection between the Ancient Dragon Elephant Scripture and the Divine Martial Stele’s special passages, then used his powerful Divine Sense to probe them despite Elder Nie’s warnings. He discovered that he could examine an entire face of the stele, leaving Elder Nie astonished by the scale of his perception.

• A Seventh-Grade Martial Artist claimed a sword that shot from the Divine Martial Stele, and Elder Nie explained the rule that whoever first secured a treasure could keep it.
• Ning Chuan learned that the Divine Martial Stele had seven special passages on each of its seven faces, along with an unrestricted ordinary passage.
• Ning Chuan sensed a connection between himself and the special passages; using the Ancient Dragon Elephant Scripture together with the Dragon Elephant Mystic Truth intensified it.
• Ning Chuan used the Heavenly Derivation Art to probe the passages, while Elder Nie warned that the stele’s aura could annihilate a probing person’s soul.
• Ning Chuan told Elder Nie that his soul injuries had already healed, then fixed his perception on the stele’s entire seventy-thousand-meter-wide face.

Ning Chuan tested his Divine Sense on the Divine Martial Stele and learned to predict where and how quickly a great treasure would emerge. After a stone box containing a nearly worthless herb was seized by silver birds, Elder Nie identified their mistress as Xi Fengrou, the Beast Emperor Hall's saintess.

• Ning Chuan spread his Divine Sense across one face of the Divine Martial Stele, and Elder Nie realized he could predict where treasures would appear.
• Ning Chuan predicted an ancient stone box's emergence and flight speed, but held back because he could not yet judge its trajectory.
• A Peak Knight tried to stop the stone box and was flung aside with his arm shattered.
• A flock of silver birds sacrificed themselves to sap the box's energy, and one Divine General-level bird carried it to a palace above the sea pit.
• Xi Fengrou found only a nearly worthless sacred herb inside the box and threatened the silver bird with a hundred years in the black dungeon if it failed to find a Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit.
• Elder Nie told Ning Chuan that Xi Fengrou was the Beast Emperor Hall's current saintess and the hall master's lover.

Ning Chuan learned about the Beast Emperor Hall and moved away from holy maiden Xi Fengrou to collect treasures from the Divine Martial Stele. After repeatedly predicting where treasures would emerge and catching them with ease, he reached for a powerful halberd just as a cyan vine attacked him from behind.

• Elder Nie explained that the Beast King Hall was supported by the Beast Emperor Hall to avoid taxes and warned Ning Chuan that Xi Fengrou had many ferocious beasts and was exceptionally skilled at snatching treasures.
• Ning Chuan and Elder Nie moved to another face of the Divine Martial Stele, where Ning Chuan studied the treasures' trajectories and the auras they released.
• Ning Chuan predicted a sword's path, stopped it effortlessly, and gave it to Elder Nie, who called it an excellent weapon.
• Ning Chuan collected more treasures by predicting where they would land, then identified and positioned himself to intercept a halberd with power comparable to a Fourth-Heaven Divine General.
• As Ning Chuan reached to catch the black war halberd, a thick cyan vine flew toward the center of his back.

Ning Chuan fought off Luan Teng’s attacks while both men tried to claim a black war halberd, which a Divine General ultimately seized. After Luan Teng taunted him and Elder Nie urged him to withdraw, Ning Chuan decided to stay and face him.

• Luan Teng ambushed Ning Chuan with a cyan vine, but Ning Chuan destroyed it and was pushed back only a few hundred meters.
• Luan Teng launched two more vines, and Ning Chuan used his Divine Treasury of Ten Thousand Weapons and blazing sun to destroy them while a Divine General claimed the black war halberd.
• The blasts injured nearby Divine Generals and Knights, while Luan Teng revealed he had come seeking treasure after Si Nanbo healed his severed hand and Ning Chuan had taken his spatial ring.
• Elder Nie confronted Luan Teng over his attack, but Luan Teng mocked him and insisted he was fighting for the weapon.
• Ning Chuan stopped Elder Nie from arguing and refused to leave, judging that he could take on Luan Teng despite the Heavenly King’s strength.

Ning Chuan repeatedly claimed treasures from the Divine Martial Stele before Luan Teng could interfere, leaving Luan Teng humiliated and ready to leave. Ning Chuan then followed him and offered to share his good luck.

• Luan Teng announced that he would follow Ning Chuan to the Divine Martial Steles and try to take treasures, while Ning Chuan said his luck could not be stolen.
• Ning Chuan teleported close to the Divine Martial Stele and caught a stone medicine box as it emerged; Luan Teng canceled his vine attack rather than risk breaking the treasure-contest rules.
• Ning Chuan predicted another treasure's appearance, seized it before Luan Teng's attack could reach him, and continued claiming five or six more treasures in the same way.
• Luan Teng, frustrated by his failed attempts and the onlookers' whispered mockery, gave up following Ning Chuan and turned to leave.
• Ning Chuan changed direction, followed Luan Teng, and asked whether he wanted Ning Chuan to share some of his good luck.

Ning Chuan taunted Luan Teng while competing for treasures at the Divine Martial Stele, forcing the alien Heavenly King to leave without fighting. Meanwhile, Xi Fengrou recognized Ning Chuan and revealed that the Beast Emperor Hall had plans to target him for his spiritual power cultivation method.

• Ning Chuan repeatedly teleported ahead of Luan Teng to seize treasures and mocked him about losing his wealth.
• Luan Teng threatened Ning Chuan but left the Divine Martial Stele when Ning Chuan challenged him to attack.
• Treasure seekers were stunned that Ning Chuan had driven away the High-Stage Spring Realm Heavenly King without a fight.
• Xi Fengrou learned that Ning Chuan was the World Walker who had killed Beast King Hall geniuses in Donglin.
• Xi Fengrou dismissed Ning Chuan's status, noted the value of his spiritual power cultivation method, and said Hall Master Cangdong and other Great River Realm Heavenly Kings had made preparations.

Xi Fengrou warned that Ning Chuan’s strength made him dangerous, while Ning Chuan continued gathering treasures from the Divine Martial Stele. A Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit appeared, but it had rotted into ash inside its damaged box, and Xi Fengrou’s Silver Lightning Falcons then launched a suicide attack against Ning Chuan.

• Xi Fengrou slapped her attendant for suggesting she feared Ning Chuan, though she recognized that his strength rivaled a Heavenly King.
• Ning Chuan kept collecting treasures from the Divine Martial Stele, planning to trade away the weapons and medicines he could not use.
• Ning Chuan sensed unusual ripples and rushed toward them as treasure seekers identified the disturbance as the appearance of a Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit.
• Ning Chuan detected that the fruit inside the cracked jade medicine box had decayed into ash and slowed down rather than competing for it.
• Xi Fengrou’s Silver Lightning Falcons blocked Ning Chuan’s path and exploded in a coordinated suicide attack that sent lightning sweeping toward him.

Ning Chuan blocked Xi Fengrou’s beasts while she fought her way to the jade medicine box, seeking the Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit. After sacrificing nearly half her tamed beasts, Xi Fengrou claimed the box, only to find it held ashes, while the onlookers realized Ning Chuan had known the fruit was gone.

• Ning Chuan used the Nine-Layered Blazing Flame Lotus to stop the Silver Lightning Falcons’ self-destruction from delaying him.
• Xi Fengrou sent her tamed beasts to hinder a Heavenly King’s attempt to seize the jade medicine box and slow his blood-colored handprint.
• Xi Fengrou sacrificed nearly half her tamed beasts to drive off the other treasure seekers and claim the jade medicine box.
• Xi Fengrou taunted Ning Chuan and opened the box, discovering that the Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit had turned to ashes.
• The nearby powerful figures realized Ning Chuan had known the box was empty and wondered how he had found out.

After Xi Fengrou returned to her palace empty-handed, she demanded new Divine General-level beasts and summoned Heavenly King Fan Yu to protect her. Days later, another Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit emerged on a leafy branch, revealing that a Realm-Breaking Dao Tree might grow inside the Divine Martial Stele, and Ning Chuan raced toward it alongside other treasure hunters.

• Xi Fengrou crushed the medicine box, refused to leave the Divine Martial Stele, and ordered the elders' council to send her more ferocious beasts.
• Xi Fengrou also sent the old woman in gray to invite Heavenly King Fan Yu to stand guard for her.
• Ning Chuan continued collecting treasures and received the Star Feather Step Martial Seal, a movement technique he considered too weak for his needs.
• Ning Chuan used Heavenly Derivation Art to observe a Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit emerging on a leafy branch, leading him and other treasure hunters to suspect a Realm-Breaking Dao Tree grew inside the stele.
• Ning Chuan and the other treasure hunters raced toward the newly revealed fruit.

Ning Chuan and Xi Fengrou fought through Heavenly King attacks to reach the Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit, but the competing experts drove the struggle into a stalemate. Ning Chuan healed his injuries and searched for a way to seize the fruit as more rivals threatened to arrive.

• Xi Fengrou and Ning Chuan raced toward the Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit while Heavenly Kings tried to stop them.
• Ning Chuan broke through a magma attack and reached the fruit, but several Heavenly Kings blasted him away when he tried to grasp it.
• Xi Fengrou survived an alien Heavenly King's wind blades by sacrificing several of her tamed beasts, then relied on a spatial ring Liu Cangdong had given her.
• Ning Chuan recognized that anyone approaching the fruit would face a joint assault, and ruled out teleporting because spatial experts had sealed the area.
• Ning Chuan completely healed his injured hand but worried that the growing number of arrivals would reduce his chance of claiming the fruit.

As the Heavenly Kings fought over the Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit, Ning Chuan discovered that Xi Fengrou planned to use a Law Bomb to break through their defenses. He stayed near her and waited for her to reveal the weapon, preparing to seize the fruit in the ensuing chaos.

• Several Heavenly Kings began fighting for the Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit, while Ning Chuan failed to get past their coordinated attacks.
• Ning Chuan noticed Xi Fengrou was hiding her calmness and used the Mind-Reading Art to discover she carried a River Realm Law Bomb.
• Ning Chuan chose a weaker Spring Realm Heavenly King as an opponent and followed Xi Fengrou as the battlefield contracted.
• Xi Fengrou advanced toward the Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit with help from her beast companions, then drew several Heavenly Kings' attacks.
• Xi Fengrou took out the Law Bomb as the Heavenly Kings recognized it, and Ning Chuan prepared to seize his opportunity.

Xi Fengrou used a Law Bomb to distract the Heavenly Kings and tried to seize the Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit, but Ning Chuan had already taken it. After Xi Fengrou falsely accused him of stealing it from her, Ning Chuan trapped her and reached for her with a golden palm.

• Xi Fengrou detonated a Law Bomb to drive the Heavenly Kings away from the Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit.
• Xi Fengrou reached for the fruit but found it missing, while Ning Chuan appeared holding it.
• Xi Fengrou accused Ning Chuan of snatching the fruit from her and claimed the hall master would punish him if he killed her.
• Ning Chuan pointed out a flaw in Xi Fengrou's story, immobilized her and her purple-feathered bird, and sent a golden palm toward her.

Ning Chuan faced off against Fan Yu after Xi Fengrou accused him of stealing her Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit, while Liu Wan intervened to defend him. The dispute remained unresolved as Xi Fengrou tearfully repeated her accusation.

• Fan Yu appeared and cut apart Ning Chuan's golden palm before it could seize Xi Fengrou.
• Xi Fengrou told Fan Yu that Ning Chuan had taken her Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit and promised him a place in the inheritance order and a Divine Martial Stele inheritance if he helped recover it.
• Fan Yu demanded the fruit from Ning Chuan, who invited him to try taking it by force.
• Fan Yu prepared to attack Ning Chuan, but Liu Wan arrived and challenged his authority to interfere.
• Fan Yu and Liu Wan argued over the truce and whether Ning Chuan had broken the rules, while Xi Fengrou claimed Ning Chuan had attacked her to silence her.

Fan Yu demanded Ning Chuan surrender the Martial Seal or be taken to the Holy Heaven Alliance after Luan Teng falsely testified that Ning Chuan had stolen Xi Fengrou’s Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit. Ning Chuan swallowed the fruit, and as Liu Wan offered to hold Fan Yu off so he could escape, Ning Chuan calmly refused to leave.

• Liu Wan rejected Fan Yu’s claim that using a Law Bomb proved Ning Chuan had stolen Xi Fengrou’s fruit, but Luan Teng claimed he had witnessed the two make contact.
• Xi Fengrou thanked Luan Teng, and Fan Yu used the testimony to demand that Ning Chuan hand over the Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit.
• Ning Chuan ignored the accusations and swallowed the fruit, triggering notification chimes as it was absorbed by his martial arts and Mystic Truths.
• Fan Yu offered Ning Chuan the choice of surrendering the Martial Seal for the Divine Wave Meditation Method or being taken away for judgment.
• Luan Teng warned Liu Wan that the alien races would not join a renewed war, and Liu Wan urged Ning Chuan to flee while she held Fan Yu off.
• Ning Chuan calmly told Liu Wan there was no need to leave.

Ning Chuan rejected Fan Yu’s demands and challenged him to a fight, then met Fan Yu’s opening attack head-on. Their first exchange sent both Heavenly Kings flying, with Ning Chuan appearing to hold a slight advantage.

• Ning Chuan told Liu Wan he could handle Fan Yu alone and said he wanted to force a bloody battle rather than delay the dispute over Xi Fengrou.
• Ning Chuan summoned Heaven Severing, declared that he would take Fan Yu down, and drew cheers and disbelief from the onlookers.
• Fan Yu activated his Wind Scythe Domain and attacked Ning Chuan with a powerful sword strike.
• Ning Chuan countered with Heaven Severing Slash, and their weapons collided with enough force to tear open the void.
• Fan Yu followed the clash with an attack from Ning Chuan’s Divine Weapons, but Ning Chuan’s assault sent him flying; the crowd and Xi Fengrou were stunned by the result.
• Luan Teng realized Ning Chuan’s attacks matched his own in power.

Ning Chuan overpowered Fan Yu in a prolonged offensive clash, forcing him to abandon direct confrontation and rely on speed and his Domain’s Realm Force to evade attacks. Ning Chuan identified that Fan Yu used the Domain to detect and predict the Divine Weapons’ movements, leaving their battle ongoing.

• Fan Yu charged Ning Chuan with a sustained sword assault, but Ning Chuan met him with Divine Weapons and kept him on the defensive.
• Fan Yu focused his Force into a massive sword light, which Ning Chuan shattered with a torrent of Divine Weapons before striking Fan Yu and sending him crashing into the North Sea.
• After Fan Yu emerged, Ning Chuan attacked again, and Fan Yu reluctantly dodged rather than meet Ning Chuan’s superior offense head-on.
• Fan Yu circled Ning Chuan while evading the Divine Weapons, using his speed to seek an opening.
• Ning Chuan spread the Divine Weapons to block Fan Yu’s path but noticed Fan Yu remained faster and maneuvered with unusual agility.
• Ning Chuan realized Fan Yu’s Domain’s Realm Force detected the Divine Weapons’ movements, allowing Fan Yu to predict and dodge their attacks.

Ning Chuan struggled against Fan Yu’s speed and Wind Scythe Realm Force as Fan Yu repeatedly wounded him with hit-and-run attacks. Ning Chuan then spread his Divine Weapons around them and detonated their divine light, slowing Fan Yu and creating a chance to close in.

• Fan Yu repeatedly outmaneuvered Ning Chuan and wounded his shoulder, while Ning Chuan used Divine Weapons to keep him from pressing the attack.
• Fan Yu taunted Ning Chuan and claimed he could wear him down, as onlookers judged Ning Chuan’s chances to be grim.
• Fan Yu continued striking and accumulating wounds on Ning Chuan, but Ning Chuan calmly considered how to prevent him from dodging.
• Ning Chuan scattered Divine Weapons around himself and Fan Yu, then released their destructive divine light in every direction.
• The blast injured both fighters but staggered Fan Yu and reduced his speed, allowing Ning Chuan to step toward him and challenge his earlier claim.
