Chapter Summaries

Bai Qi rescued Ning Chuan and gave him a God-Slaying King Token after identifying the attacker as a Sand Lizard Knight connected to the Old Gods Society. The military then sealed off Qingshan City with a massive force to search for the fugitive Knight.

• Bai Qi appeared before Ning Chuan, identified the severed arm’s owner as a Sand Lizard Knight tied to the Old Gods Society, and gave Ning Chuan a token that would summon his protection.
• Lu Zhan raced back to save Ning Chuan, and Bai Qi noted that Lu Zhan had fused four Mystic Truths but remained unable to turn them into a Law.
• Ning Chuan asked about the attacker, and Bai Qi declared that the Knight was still somewhere in Qingshan City because his domain detected no spatial fluctuations beyond the city.
• Bai Qi left the search to the military, and the 27th Group Army arrived more than an hour later under his orders.
• The army sealed Qingshan City’s airspace with armed helicopters and surrounded the city with seven hundred thousand troops, ordering that anyone who defied the blockade be killed.

After the military took control of Qingshan City, Ning Chuan learned that the assassin Baerjia belonged to the Old Gods Society, a terrorist group that sought to awaken the ancient gods through human sacrifice. Ning Chuan realized the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid he had taken likely belonged to the society, but trusted that his God-Slaying King Token would protect him from anyone short of a Heavenly King.

• The military identified Baerjia as a 137-year-old second-rank Knight and an operative of the Old Gods Society.
• Ning Chuan asked Bai Xiuxiu what the Old Gods Society was, and she explained the prehistoric gods’ disappearance and the society’s beliefs about their return.
• Bai Xiuxiu told Ning Chuan that the Old Gods Society had become radical and used infant sacrifices and mass blood offerings to summon the gods.
• Ning Chuan realized the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid he had taken probably belonged to the Old Gods Society.
• Ning Chuan judged that the society could not kill him unless a Heavenly King intervened, which would trigger outright war with the Federation.

After Baerjia’s assassination attempt, Ning Chuan stayed at the Lu Family estate and learned how rare and costly Bai Qi’s God-Slaying King Token was. He discovered Lu Mengyue would go to the Wang Family as its future guardian, but promised to bring her back after becoming a Heavenly King, then headed to inherit three martial arts.

• Bai Xiuxiu and Lu Zhan explained that Bai Qi’s God-Slaying King Token was one of fewer than ten ever made and cost him life force, and Ning Chuan promised to use it carefully.
• Ning Chuan and Lu Zhan took a luxury taxi to the Lu Family estate, where Ning Chuan joked about making Lu Zhan pay and lightened his mood.
• Lu Mengyue told Ning Chuan she had awakened the Star God Physique and would go to the Wang Family to cultivate and eventually serve as its guardian, a decision made under orders from two Heavenly Kings.
• Lu Zhan explained that Lu Mengyue was going to atone for him and Wang Ya, while Lu Mengyue said she hoped to reunite with her mother.
• Ning Chuan urged Lu Mengyue to cultivate quickly and promised to bring her back when he became a Heavenly King; he agreed to see her off on September first.
• Ning Chuan left for his residence to inherit three martial arts.

Ning Chuan drank Spirit-Nourishing Liquid and learned three Mid Firmament Tier mental force martial arts, discovering that practicing them accelerated his soul’s absorption of the medicine. He continued consuming drops and training as the chapter ended.

• Ning Chuan drank a drop of Spirit-Nourishing Liquid and inherited Blood Soul Needle, Dark Night Abyss, and Divine Concealment Technique from three martial imprints.
• Ning Chuan examined the arts and found that Blood Soul Needle attacked souls, Dark Night Abyss caused sensory-deprivation illusions, and Divine Concealment Technique hid mental force fluctuations.
• Ning Chuan tested Blood Soul Needle and Dark Night Abyss, repeatedly incapacitating a brown pet dog with the illusion technique.
• Ning Chuan stopped practicing Dark Night Abyss when Divine Concealment Technique reached Initiation, and the frightened brown pet dog fled.
• Ning Chuan noticed that his Spirit-Nourishing Liquid had been used up after five hours, then confirmed that practicing the mental arts let him absorb another drop in a little over two hours.
• Ning Chuan drank another drop of Spirit-Nourishing Liquid and resumed taking turns practicing the three mental martial arts.

Ning Chuan opened his sea of consciousness after absorbing thirty drops of Spirit-Nourishing Liquid and planned to strengthen his Force while keeping money in reserve to charge the Thunder Sovereign. Meanwhile, Liu Zhengwei and a young officer tracked Wei Zhu and uncovered suspicious truck activity, then decided to bring their evidence to Ning Chuan.

• Ning Chuan sensed his sea of consciousness for the first time and estimated that his remaining Spirit-Nourishing Liquid could raise his Mystic Truth power to around seventy percent.
• Ning Chuan sold Baerjia's spatial ring through the Lu Family's channels and browsed the military resource website to buy energy liquid, while reserving money to charge the Thunder Sovereign.
• Liu Zhengwei and the young officer watched the Wei Family estate, hoping to find evidence of Wei Zhu's crimes and earn Ning Chuan's forgiveness.
• The officers followed Wei Zhu from the estate to an abandoned industrial park, where more than ten sealed heavy trucks later emerged and returned to the Wei Family estate.
• Liu Zhengwei concluded that the Wei Financial Group was involved in the concealed shipment, and he and the young officer decided to take their video evidence to Ning Chuan.

Ning Chuan learned that the Wei Family was concealing contraband and arranged to investigate it in person, posing as a police officer. He confronted Wei Zhu at the Wei Family estate and threatened him into telling the truth.

• Ning Chuan drank Demon Fire energy liquid, which increased Ultimate Weapon Art's cultivation speed by 30%.
• Liu Zhengwei and Zheng Rong told Ning Chuan they had found evidence of heavy trucks entering the Wei Family estate, and he proposed hush money in exchange for their silence.
• Ning Chuan decided to learn what contraband the Wei Family was hiding and planned to interrogate Wei Zhu while disguised as a police officer.
• Ning Chuan, Lu Mengyue, Liu Zhengwei, and Zheng Rong entered the Wei Family estate under the pretext of investigating a murder case.
• Ning Chuan spotted sprinkler trucks washing the estate's roads, then revealed himself to Wei Zhu and threatened him if he refused to talk.

Ning Chuan used Dark Night Abyss to force Wei Zhu to reveal that Wei Huasheng had sold Federation citizens to the Old Gods Society, but a spiritual restriction killed Wei Zhu before he could finish. Ning Chuan tried to contact the military and Lu Mengyue was told to notify Uncle Lu, but everyone discovered their phones had no signal.

• Ning Chuan threatened Wei Zhu with the City Destroyer War Spear, then used Dark Night Abyss to break his resistance.
• Wei Zhu confessed that the heavy trucks carried living people and accused Wei Huasheng of selling Federation humans to the Old Gods Society for Spirit-Nourishing Liquid.
• A spiritual restriction caused Wei Zhu's head to explode, and Ning Chuan destroyed the resulting spiritual attack with Blood Soul Needle.
• Ning Chuan recognized that Wei Huasheng had likely ordered Baerjia's assassination attempt and told Lu Mengyue to notify Uncle Lu.
• Ning Chuan and the others found that their phones had no signal.

Ning Chuan tried to escape the Wei Family estate’s communications-blocking barrier in the Thunder Sovereign, but Baerjia intercepted him and was stunned by how much stronger Ning Chuan had become. Ning Chuan kept climbing toward the barrier as Wei Huasheng closed in.

• Ning Chuan realized Wei Huasheng had sealed the estate and gave Lu Mengyue the God-Slaying King Token, telling her to use it if danger came.
• Ning Chuan entered the Thunder Sovereign and flew toward the estate’s barrier to contact the military and Lu Zhan.
• Wei Huasheng called for Baerjia to stop Ning Chuan, and Baerjia rose from the ground to pursue him.
• Baerjia attacked the Thunder Sovereign with Sea of Corroding Life, but Ning Chuan’s spear strike shattered the attack and sent Baerjia flying.
• Ning Chuan chose to keep ascending toward the barrier, while Wei Huasheng closed to within a hundred meters.

Ning Chuan fought off Wei Huasheng’s attempts to stop the Thunder Sovereign from ascending, and their Blood Soul Needle attacks revealed that they both cultivated the same spiritual-power martial art at different realms. Ning Chuan continued upward to protect Lu Mengyue, while Wei Huasheng pursued him and Ning Chuan gained further insight from their clashes.

• Wei Huasheng attacked the ascending Thunder Sovereign with his Mountain-Bearing Python, but Ning Chuan shattered it with a spear strike.
• Wei Huasheng fired an Expert Realm Blood Soul Needle at the cockpit, but the Thunder Sovereign’s defenses and Ning Chuan’s soul needles weakened and destroyed it.
• Ning Chuan considered exchanging more Blood Soul Needle attacks to improve his realm, then continued ascending to avoid putting Lu Mengyue at risk.
• Wei Huasheng pursued the Thunder Sovereign and destroyed Ning Chuan’s Proficiency Realm soul needles, but could not spare enough spiritual power to launch another Blood Soul Needle.
• Ning Chuan ignored Wei Huasheng’s taunt and gained another 10% progress in Blood Soul Needle from their clashes.

Ning Chuan piloted the Thunder Sovereign against Baerjia and Wei Huasheng, holding his own despite their attacks. After Wei Huasheng’s Blood Soul Needles weakened him, Ning Chuan’s Blood Soul Needle advanced to the Mastery Realm, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Baerjia and Wei Huasheng attacked the Thunder Sovereign together while Ning Chuan fought toward the edge of the Sound-Sealing Barrier.
• Lu Mengyue hid in an office in the Wei Family estate and hoped Lu Zhan would notice something was wrong and arrive soon.
• Wei Huasheng fired Blood Soul Needles at Ning Chuan, whose mental power destroyed one but was weakened enough for Baerjia to strike the Thunder Sovereign.
• Ning Chuan’s Blood Soul Needle gained a sudden enlightenment and advanced to the Mastery Realm.

Ning Chuan fought Baerjia while pretending the Thunder Sovereign was losing, using the battle to advance Blood Soul Needle and close in on Wei Huasheng. After Baerjia revealed that he wanted something from his spatial ring, Ning Chuan prepared to attack Wei Huasheng, ending above him as the barrier’s defender.

• Ning Chuan blocked Baerjia’s Blood Soul Needles and weathered his Force attacks while feigning weakness and secretly approaching Wei Huasheng.
• Baerjia offered to leave if Ning Chuan returned his spatial ring and part of the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid, then reacted sharply when Ning Chuan claimed he had sold the ring and its contents.
• Ning Chuan realized Baerjia was seeking something besides the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid and resolved to inspect the items he had kept.
• Baerjia attacked the Thunder Sovereign with Swift Mountain Strike after realizing Ning Chuan had tricked him.
• Blood Soul Needle advanced to the Perfect Realm, and Ning Chuan struck Baerjia’s Force fist so the Thunder Sovereign flew above Wei Huasheng.

Ning Chuan defeated Wei Huasheng with Perfect Realm soul needles and pursued Baerjia, who was then stopped by Lu Zhan. Baerjia activated the Old Gods Society's Divine Restriction and died before Ning Chuan could question him, leaving the spatial ring in Ning Chuan's hands.

• Ning Chuan struck Wei Huasheng with more than twenty soul needles, knocking him unconscious, then killed him with the Thunder Sovereign's war spear.
• Ning Chuan recovered Wei Huasheng's spatial ring while Baerjia fled toward the horizon.
• Lu Zhan dropped a black sun on Baerjia and overwhelmed him with one move.
• Ning Chuan called for Lu Zhan to spare Baerjia, but Baerjia invoked the Old Gods Society's Divine Restriction and exploded, destroying himself.
• Lu Zhan explained that only a Heavenly King could stop the Divine Restriction, and the 27th Group Army surrounded the Wei Family estate.

After the military exposed the Wei Family’s centuries-long trafficking of more than two million people for the Old Gods Society, Ning Chuan learned he could receive roughly 200 billion from the family’s assets. On his way back to the Lu Family manor, he found an old stone tablet bearing the Old Gods Society’s emblem among Baerjia’s possessions.

• The 27th Group Army publicly revealed that the Wei Family had trafficked more than two million people over two hundred years and sacrificed them in the Old Gods Society’s blood rituals, making Ning Chuan a celebrated but unnamed hero.
• Bai Xiuxiu told Ning Chuan that Baerjia’s assassination attempt had been a personal deal with Wei Huasheng, then explained that the Wei Family had been designated a terrorist organization.
• Bai Xiuxiu informed Ning Chuan that his contribution qualified him for about 200 billion from the Wei Family’s assets, though the payout would take at least a month.
• Butler Bei relayed Lu Zhan’s message that Ning Chuan should have a luxury car ready the next time Lu Zhan saved him, and Ning Chuan rode back toward the Lu Family manor.
• Ning Chuan searched Baerjia’s spatial ring and noticed an old stone tablet engraved with a black eye inside an inverted triangle.

Ning Chuan discovered that the black-eyed stone tablet greatly advanced his Dark Night Abyss martial art and searched Wei Huasheng’s spatial ring for valuables and secrets. As the Wang Family arrived in Qingshan City aboard the Divine Star to collect Lu Mengyue, Ning Chuan learned their envoy, Wang Shenghan, led the faction least sympathetic to her family.

• The black-eyed stone tablet triggered a surge of insight in Ning Chuan’s Dark Night Abyss, advancing it to the Mastery Realm and raising its progress to 69% toward Perfection.
• Ning Chuan searched Wei Huasheng’s spatial ring and found valuable metals, Spirit-Nourishing Liquid, a Sound-Sealing Barrier martial seal, and a record of Wei Huasheng’s longevity secret.

• The Wang Family’s Divine Star descended at the Lu Family estate to collect Lu Mengyue, and Lu Cangyun explained that its Meteor Cannon could kill a Divine General.
• Butler Bei told Ning Chuan that Wang Shenghan led the Wang Family’s neutral faction, which showed little sympathy for Lu Mengyue, though the more hostile opposing faction had not been sent.

The Wang Family delegation arrived at the Lu Family residence, where Lu Cangyun tried to secure favorable treatment for Lu Mengyue. After Lu Zhan persuaded Wang Shenghan to stay, Lu Mengyue met her Wang Family cousins while Ning Chuan left, and Wang Longtao privately vowed to get revenge on him.

• Lu Cangyun welcomed Wang Shenghan and the Wang Family youths, while Butler Bei identified members of the different factions for Lu Mengyue and warned her about Wang Longyun.
• Wang Longyun and other opposition faction youths mocked the Lu Family, and Ning Chuan stopped Lu Mengyue from rushing over to interrupt Lu Cangyun's efforts to appease them.
• Lu Zhan appeared and invited Wang Shenghan to talk, prompting Wang Shenghan to agree to stay while he met with Lu Zhan.
• Wang Ke introduced herself to Lu Mengyue and asked who Ning Chuan was, and Lu Mengyue called him her good friend.
• Ning Chuan left, and Wang Longtao privately blamed Heavenly King Bai Qi for the family letting Ning Chuan's earlier assault go unanswered before vowing to reclaim his face.

Ning Chuan cultivated the Sound-Sealing Barrier and rushed to the banquet hall after hearing that Lu Mengyue was being threatened by Wang Family youths. He attacked Wang Longtao and challenged him to explain why the dispute being an internal Wang Family matter should stop him.

• Ning Chuan absorbed insights from the Dark Night Abyss and advanced the Sound-Sealing Barrier to the Mastery Realm.
• Butler Bei told Ning Chuan that Lu Mengyue had argued with young members of the Wang Family's opposing faction.
• Wang Longyun demanded a dance from Lu Mengyue, and Wang Longtao threatened her with mistreatment if she resisted the Wang Family.
• Ning Chuan arrived at the banquet hall and heard Wang Longtao insist that the conflict was an internal Wang Family matter.
• Ning Chuan kicked Wang Longtao in the face, pinned him to the floor, and asked what the internal matter had to do with him.

Ning Chuan defended Lu Mengyue by defeating Wang Longtao, Wang Longyun, and more than ten Wang Family members who had provoked her. He then used Dark Night Abyss to leave them terrified and begging for mercy, while the Wang Family’s younger generation watched in shock.

• Ning Chuan used Dark Night Abyss on the fallen Wang Family members, leaving them trembling, weeping, and begging for mercy.

Ning Chuan challenged Blood Edge Divine General Wang Shenghan over the Wang Family youths’ treatment of Lu Mengyue, while Wang Shenghan tried to make Ning Chuan accept their retaliation. Ning Chuan revealed the God-Slaying King Token, leaving Wang Shenghan unwilling to attack and demonstrating the token’s formidable deterrent power.

• Wang Shenghan arrived, heard Wang Ke explain the incident, and reprimanded the Wang Family descendants before ordering Ning Chuan to let them return his attack.
• Lu Mengyue defended Ning Chuan, while Ning Chuan questioned Wang Shenghan’s fairness and refused to back down.

• Lu Zhan blocked Wang Shenghan’s oppressive aura, but Ning Chuan told him not to intervene and invited Wang Shenghan to attack.
• Wang Shenghan recognized the God-Slaying King Token in Ning Chuan’s hand and backed down, fearing Heavenly King Bai Qi’s response.

After Lu Mengyue left, Wang Ke revealed that Lu Zhan had clearly won and shared Wang Ya’s message; the chapter ended with Lu Zhan offering to teach Ning Chuan his black sun technique.

• Ning Chuan told Wang Longyun and the others to warn the Wang Family’s opposition faction not to target Lu Mengyue, and Wang Shenghan challenged him over his threats.
• Lu Zhan offered to take Ning Chuan’s punishment by exchanging one move with Wang Shenghan, and the two fought high above the estate.

He agreed to travel to Galaxy University with Wang Ke, then received Song Shiyu’s offer of a luxurious first-class flight and considered changing his plans for the bed.

• Lu Zhan and Wang Ke explained that the Destruction Heavenly Art contained four fused Mystic Truths and warned Ning Chuan that it was exceptionally difficult to cultivate.
