Chapter Summaries

Ning Chuan survived Xie Lian’s assassination attempt, but Jiang Xiaorou’s soul was badly damaged and she remained unconscious. After discovering that his Soul Healing Technique could instantly heal his own soul, Ning Chuan prepared to use it on her.

• Ning Chuan used explosive Divine Weapons to scour the woods and alert Wei Chen, who arrived and stabilized Jiang Xiaorou.
• Wei Chen found a branch with traces of a fifth-heavenly-layer Divine General, but his Star Realm revealed no attacker, suggesting a concealed mole was hiding on campus.
• Wei Chen told the arriving Divine Generals and Knights that Xie Lian had tried to assassinate Ning Chuan, then dismissed them and asked Qin Ya to stay.
• Wei Chen took Ning Chuan, Jiang Xiaorou, and Qin Ya to his villa, where Qin Ya’s Soul Healing Medicine kept Jiang Xiaorou alive but could not repair her shattered soul.
• Ning Chuan used his Soul Healing Technique to heal his own spiritual injury almost instantly, then offered to try it on Jiang Xiaorou.

Ning Chuan used the Soul Self-Healing Technique to repair Jiang Xiaorou's shattered soul and began treating Qin Ya's father, Qin Lang, the Thunderfire Divine General. He paused after exhausting his spiritual power, but said he could finish the healing after recovering, while Wei Chen grew concerned about the strength of the attacker who had injured Ning Chuan.

• Ning Chuan used the Soul Self-Healing Technique to restore Jiang Xiaorou's shattered soul, and Wei Chen confirmed that she had been healed.

• Ning Chuan found Qin Lang's soul split into more than a hundred pieces and began repairing it, but stopped when his spiritual power ran out.
• Ning Chuan reassured Qin Ya that he could heal Qin Lang after recovering, then described the powerful mental attack against him to Wei Chen.

Ning Chuan and Wei Chen identified the Divine General who attacked him as a likely spy for the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom, while Qin Ya explained the threat it posed and Martial Star’s defenses. After Ning Chuan healed Qin Lang’s soul, Qin Ya planned to search the Moon God Ruins for Spirit-Awakening Flowers, and Ning Chuan decided to go with her.

• Wei Chen reasoned that the Divine General had probably learned a complete spiritual power cultivation method from the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom, which had spied on Martial Star for millions of years.

• Qin Ya thanked Ning Chuan, and Wei Chen said Qin Lang’s prior experience entering the King Realm would improve his chances of becoming a Heavenly King.
• Wei Chen said Spirit-Awakening Flowers were scarce and lost their effect soon after being picked, while Qin Ya said some had been found in the Moon God Ruins and planned to search there.
• Qin Ya asked Wei Chen to protect Qin Lang and promised Ning Chuan she would find two Spirit-Awakening Flowers; Ning Chuan offered to accompany her.

Ning Chuan agreed to travel to the Moon God Ruins after learning that sealed alien geniuses had defeated the Federation’s Knights, and Wei Chen gave him 200 grams of Divine Metal Liquid to strengthen his weapons. Wei Chen also revealed that he planned to use Ning Chuan as bait to draw out the Divine General who had tried to kill him, while assuring Qin Ya that he would keep Ning Chuan safe.

Wu Guangzhi coordinated with a Divine Envoy to target Ning Chuan, while Ning Chuan used Divine Metal Liquid to raise all thirty-three of his Divine Weapons to Knight Class. The chapter left the Federation reeling after news spread that its nine Knights had lost to the alien geniuses.

• Wu Guangzhi told the Divine Envoy that Ning Chuan had nearly completed the Spirit Forging Meditation Method and might travel to the Moon God Ruins, where they planned to ambush him with help from the Old Gods Society.
• Wu Guangzhi killed Wu Hanhai and took over his body, while Wu Guangzhi planned to remain at the university under his own identity.
• Ning Chuan used Divine Metal Liquid to raise all thirty-three of his Divine Weapons to Knight Class.
• Ning Chuan wondered whether one Divine Weapon—or all thirty-three attacking together—could defeat a Peak Knight.
• News of the nine great Knights' defeat spread across the Federation, and public anger persisted despite official explanations that the alien geniuses were sealed cultivators.

After the nine Knights were defeated, Galaxy University announced that Ning Chuan would set out, and Wei Chen arranged powerful guards to protect him on the journey to the Moon God Ruins. Ning Chuan departed aboard the Heavenly King-class spaceship Heavenly River, while Qin Ya began explaining the ruins and how to find martial seals.

• Galaxy University's announcement that the World Walker would set out sparked arguments between Federation citizens and aliens online.
• Ning Chuan met Qin Ya and traveled with her to Wei Chen's courtyard, where they found Elder Nie, Elder Li, and Qiu Kai waiting.

• Ning Chuan and the others boarded the Heavenly River, which left Galaxy University's airport bound for the Moon God Ruins.
• Qin Ya told Ning Chuan that the Moon God Ruins was a vast ring-shaped ancient city and that martial seals could be found in its inner city.

Ning Chuan learned about the dangers of the Moon God Ruins and arrived at Moonlight Island, where the sealed beings from other races had been humiliating Federation students. He headed for the ruins’ entrance, determined to confront them, as a crowd gathered to see him.

• Qin Ya explained that the Dark Stone Forest contained valuable Spirit-Nourishing Liquid and Spirit-Transforming Fruits, but Moon Spirits and other hazards made it especially dangerous.
• The Heavenly River reached Moonlight Island on the morning of December 8, and Ning Chuan flew out to a welcome from Galaxy University's representative.
• Mo Yan told Ning Chuan that the sealed beings from other races were strong and had badly injured several students; Ning Chuan said he would handle them.
• Ning Chuan and the others flew to the plaza at the center of Moonlight Island, where a crowd gathered around the portal to the Moon God Ruins.

Ning Chuan arrived at the Moon God Ruins, where Wo Ta challenged him to prove his strength before entering. Ning Chuan accepted the challenge with just one Divine Weapon, and Wo Ta braced behind his shell as the crowd watched.

• Ning Chuan arrived above the square, and humans and other races argued over whether he could defeat the sealed experts.
• Qin Ya asked if Ning Chuan wanted to speak to the crowd, but he said the battle would settle the arguments.
• Wo Ta of the Black Tortoise Clan challenged Ning Chuan, and Mo Yan explained that Wo Ta had mastered the Absolute Defense Mystic Truth.
• Wo Ta offered to stand still and let Ning Chuan attack once, claiming victory if Ning Chuan could not force him back half a step.
• Ning Chuan accepted and summoned the Divine Weapon Heavenly Punishment, drawing astonished reactions from the crowd.
• Wo Ta raised his shell as a shield and said Ning Chuan would win if the single Divine Weapon even made him wobble.

Ning Chuan unleashed the Heaven's Punishment War Spear and crippled Wo Ta in one strike, while Elder Nie stopped Wo Ta’s guardian from intervening. After the Black Tortoise Clan elder demanded compensation, Ning Chuan threatened to kill him if he did not leave.

• Ning Chuan asked Elder Nie to stop Wo Ta’s hidden guardian from rescuing him, and Elder Nie agreed.
• Ning Chuan’s Heaven’s Punishment War Spear struck Wo Ta, obliterating his shell armor and arms and leaving him pinned in a crater, barely alive.
• Elder Nie ambushed the Black Tortoise Clan elder as he tried to intervene, preventing him from reaching Wo Ta.
• Spectators were stunned by Ning Chuan’s strength, and a Knight said the spear’s power was close to that of a Titled Knight.
• The Black Tortoise Clan elder demanded an explanation and compensation, while Qin Ya argued Wo Ta had provoked Ning Chuan and lost the challenge.
• Ning Chuan told the elder to leave or be slaughtered.

Ning Chuan entered the Moon God Ruins after forcing the Black Tortoise Clan elder to retreat and explained how he might someday challenge a Divine General through his Dharma Aspects. The Ruins triggered a breakthrough in his Heavenly Derivation Art, and he told Qin Ya that he had achieved one of his goals.

• Ning Chuan gave the Black Tortoise Clan elder five seconds to leave, and the elder carried Wo Ta through the portal and fled.
• Ning Chuan told Qin Ya and the others that, if he completed several Dharma Aspects, he believed he could challenge and defeat a Divine General from the Dharma Aspect Realm.
• The group entered the Moon God Ruins, where they saw a blood moon, the Dark Stone Forest, and a vast ocean of mental power overhead.
• The Heavenly Derivation Art rapidly advanced to Perfect, formed the Heavenly Derivation Dharma Aspect, and brought it to 90% progress toward a Mystic Truth Prototype.
• Ning Chuan told Qin Ya that he had achieved one of the goals needed to challenge a Divine General from the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Ning Chuan restored the Spirit Forging Meditation Method to the Proficiency Realm and discovered that Spirit-Nourishing Liquid accelerated its soul-tempering effects. He traveled with Qin Ya and the others into the Dark Stone Forest to search for Spirit-Nourishing Liquid and the thirteen sealed members of the other races.

• Ning Chuan announced that he had mastered the Heavenly Derivation Art, but its insights triggered the restoration of the Spirit Forging Meditation Method.
• The Spirit Forging Meditation Method reached the Proficiency Realm, giving Ning Chuan a second Spirit Forging Hammer and strengthening his spiritual power.
• Ning Chuan swallowed Spirit-Nourishing Liquid, which sharply increased the meditation method's cultivation speed, and concealed its restoration from Qin Ya.
• Ning Chuan learned that the sealed members were likely searching for Spirit-Nourishing Liquid near Hunting Town and asked how it was obtained.
• The group discussed the dangers of hunting Moon Spirits and searching the Dark Stone Forest before entering the forest together.

In the Dark Stone Forest, Ning Chuan used the Heavenly Derivation Dharma Aspect to test its ability to predict the future, discovering that it could foresee movements but consumed substantial mental power. He continued toward Hunting Town with his divine sense spread around him, hoping to detect danger or find Spirit-Nourishing Liquid.

• Ning Chuan expanded his divine sense to nearly a thousand meters and realized the Heavenly Derivation Dharma Aspect had made it far more sensitive.
• Ning Chuan predicted a branch's movement in the wind exactly, then repeatedly tried to predict Mo Yan's actions and found that success was uncertain against a stronger target.
• Ning Chuan copied Mo Yan's question and movement, alarming his companions, then claimed he had been joking and dispelled the Dharma Aspect.
• Ning Chuan noticed the Dharma Aspect had consumed ten percent of his mental power and decided to use it sparingly.
• Ning Chuan reduced his divine sense's range to three hundred meters and led the group toward Hunting Town.

Ning Chuan’s group reached Hunting Town, where he used his martial art and Divine Sense to find Spirit-Nourishing Liquid buried deep underground. An elite-class Moon Spirit appeared, and Ning Chuan began fighting it to test its abilities.

• Mo Yan and the person in charge described Mo Duo’s strength and his record in the genius assessment tower, while Mo Yan revealed that he had cleared its sixth floor.
• Ning Chuan agreed to visit the assessment tower with Qin Ya after dealing with the foreign sealbearers.
• The group arrived at Hunting Town, where Ning Chuan detected and extracted about a dozen drops of Spirit-Nourishing Liquid buried underground.
• An elite-class Moon Spirit approached, apparently drawn by the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid, and Ning Chuan chose to fight it for combat experience.
• Ning Chuan activated the Divine Treasury of Ten Thousand Weapons and sent Heavenly Punishment and Army Breaker flying toward the Moon Spirit.

Ning Chuan discovered that his Spirit Forging Hammer could badly injure the otherwise resilient elite Moon Spirit. He killed it near Hunting Town, and its remaining spirit core transformed into translucent liquid.

• Ning Chuan tested his attacks on the elite Moon Spirit and found that Divine Weapons could not harm it, while spiritual attacks injured it only temporarily.
• The elite Moon Spirit attacked Ning Chuan with a concealed spiritual wave, but his God-Suppressing Tower blocked it.
• Ning Chuan realized that the Moon Spirit healed from spiritual attacks and converted most of their power, then tested his Spirit Forging Hammer against it.
• Ning Chuan struck the elite Moon Spirit with the Spirit Forging Hammer, badly weakening it and frightening it into fleeing toward Hunting Town.
• Ning Chuan caught the elite Moon Spirit near Hunting Town, destroyed it with several hammer blows, and watched its remaining core turn into translucent liquid.

Ning Chuan discovered that his black-eye stone plaque could suppress Moon Spirits, allowing him to kill them with his Spirit Forging Hammer while preserving more of their spirit cores. He continued toward the search for the sealed members of the other race, newly able to gather Spirit-Nourishing Liquid more easily.

• Ning Chuan killed a Moon Spirit with his Spirit Forging Hammer and obtained several drops of Spirit-Nourishing Liquid, impressing Elder Nie and frustrating Mo Yan.
• Ning Chuan found a stele bearing the Eye of Omniscience and felt a faint pressure from his black-eye stone plaque; the person in charge explained that the ruins might belong to the Goddess of Night.
• Elder Nie told Ning Chuan that a similar Divine Relic had once emitted faint pressure inside ruins, reassuring him that it likely posed no danger.
• A newly appeared Moon Spirit remained dormant whenever Ning Chuan took out the black-eye stone plaque and attacked when he put it away.
• Ning Chuan used the plaque to keep the Moon Spirit dormant, then destroyed it with his Spirit Forging Hammer and collected more than ten drops of Spirit-Nourishing Liquid.

Ning Chuan found Chun Yu, an Iron Wing Clan sealer who had forced human explorers to lure Moon Spirits away from a trove of Spirit-Nourishing Liquid. Chun Yu arrived with his Divine General guardian, and Ning Chuan warned him that he was next.

• Ning Chuan led a crowd of explorers to a vast estate after detecting activity there from fifty-six kilometers away.
• Ning Chuan killed an ordinary-grade Moon Spirit with one blow and learned that Chun Yu had marked five explorers and threatened them into luring Moon Spirits away.
• The explorers revealed that the estate held at least a thousand drops of Spirit-Nourishing Liquid, guarded by elite-grade Moon Spirits that might destroy it if a Divine General intervened.
• Chun Yu and Iron Blade Divine General arrived, and Chun Yu ordered the humans to lure Moon Spirits from the estate.
• Chun Yu recognized Ning Chuan as the man who had crippled Wo Ta, and Ning Chuan told him he was next.

Ning Chuan entered the manor and used the black-eyed stone tablet's power to immobilize Moon Spirits, then killed them and collected over two thousand drops of Spirit-Nourishing Liquid. He headed for the central building's top floor, where more than a thousand drops remained, while Chun Yu still sought to claim the treasure.

• The Iron Wing Clan elder proposed that Ning Chuan and Chun Yu compete for the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid, and both agreed.
• Chun Yu boasted that his Flash Space Mystic Truth would let him evade the Moon Spirits, but Ning Chuan entered the manor without hesitation.
• The Moon Spirits froze before Ning Chuan, who smashed them apart with his Spirit Forging Hammers and drew laughter at Chun Yu's expense.
• Chun Yu teleported to a nearby rooftop and warned Ning Chuan that the contest was not over, while Ning Chuan continued hunting Moon Spirits.
• Ning Chuan killed nearly all the manor's wandering Moon Spirits in about half an hour, collected over two thousand drops of Spirit-Nourishing Liquid, and flew to the central building's top floor.

Ning Chuan defeated the elite Moon Spirits on the tower’s top floor, but Chun Yu secretly appeared and stole the mass of Spirit-Nourishing Liquid. Ning Chuan attacked Chun Yu, wounding him with the Falling Star Greatsword as Chun Yu wondered how Ning Chuan had anticipated his teleportation.

• Ning Chuan used the black-eyed stone plaque’s pressure to restrain three elite Moon Spirits and smashed two of them apart, collecting their Spirit-Nourishing Liquid.
• Ning Chuan sensed that the last elite Moon Spirit might be trying to submit, but Chun Yu suddenly teleported in and stole the mass of Spirit-Nourishing Liquid.
• Ning Chuan killed the last Moon Spirit, activated the Eight Gates, and confronted Chun Yu for stealing the liquid.
• Chun Yu teleported to attack, but Ning Chuan used the Heavenly Derivation Dharma Aspect to detect his arrival and struck him with the Falling Star Greatsword.
• Ning Chuan’s strike wounded Chun Yu and collapsed the ancient tower, while Chun Yu suspected Ning Chuan had found a way to predict his teleportation.

Ning Chuan used the Heavenly Derivation Dharma Aspect to anticipate Chun Yu’s teleportation and sword techniques, gaining the upper hand in their fight. Chun Yu remained unwilling to retreat as Ning Chuan continued to press him relentlessly.

• Ning Chuan predicted where Chun Yu would reappear and struck him with the Slaughter war spear, driving him into a crater and cracking his armor.
• Chun Yu concluded that Ning Chuan could not use his prediction ability and the Divine Treasury of Ten Thousand Weapons at the same time, and regained his confidence.
• Ning Chuan anticipated Chun Yu’s Heavenly Flash Sword Style and shattered its forming blade of cold light before piercing Chun Yu’s left shoulder.
• Chun Yu flew back to create distance, then chose to keep fighting rather than flee.
• Ning Chuan repeatedly anticipated Chun Yu’s moves and dominated their battle, leaving the watching Knights astonished.

Ning Chuan overwhelmed Chun Yu in close combat, then used the Divine Treasury of Ten Thousand Weapons to strike him despite his teleportation. After Chun Yu’s elder tried to intervene, Ning Chuan declared his intent to kill Chun Yu, and Elder Nie and Qin Ya moved to keep the elder from interfering.

• Ning Chuan battered Chun Yu in close combat until Chun Yu conceded defeat and tried to leave.
• Ning Chuan blocked Chun Yu with the Seven Sword Forms of Interception and Slaughter, but Chun Yu teleported out and taunted him about his techniques conflicting.
• Ning Chuan used the Divine Treasury of Ten Thousand Weapons to bait Chun Yu into teleporting, then struck him as he emerged, badly injuring him.
• The Iron Wing Clan elder conceded Chun Yu had lost and demanded Ning Chuan stop, but Ning Chuan said Chun Yu had stolen his Spirit-Nourishing Liquid and deserved to die.
• Ning Chuan told Elder Nie to treat any interference as an assassination attempt, while Elder Nie and Qin Ya warned the Iron Wing Clan elder not to intervene.
