Chapter Summaries

The Heavenly Kings blamed Ning Chuan for Liu Cangdong’s death and searched the Giant Wood Forest while he escaped to Origin Martial Mountain. There, Le Yu explained Divine Treasures and revealed that Bai Zhi might answer Ning Chuan’s questions when the sealed Holy Medicine Garden appeared.

• Xu Liyuan, Li Huo, and Si Nanbo concluded that Ning Chuan was responsible for Liu Cangdong’s death and planned to strike the Federation after the Prison-Suppressing Dao Lineage appeared.

• Ning Chuan reached Origin Martial Mountain and met Le Yu, who told him that the summoned fierce beasts had begun extracting martial caskets.
• Le Yu explained that Divine Treasures were bodily sources of potential that body cultivators could open to gain strength and special abilities.
• Ning Chuan realized Bai Zhi might know more about Divine Treasures, and Le Yu said Bai Zhi usually stayed in the sealed Holy Medicine Garden.
• Ning Chuan asked whether the Holy Medicine Garden contained Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit.

Ning Chuan learned that the Holy Medicine Garden would appear within days and headed to the Spirit Refining Sea to search for an intent that could advance his Dragon Elephant Law. After searching most of the sea without success, he discovered a region marked by forty-nine enormous whirlpools.

• Le Yu told Ning Chuan that the Holy Medicine Garden would appear within ten days and that his true disciple identity token granted him unknown privileges there.
• Ning Chuan took a weapon case containing a General-Bestowing martial art from the three River Realm ferocious beasts and left Origin Martial Mountain.

• After three days of searching the sea and its seabed without finding the intent, Ning Chuan continued searching for another half day.
• Ning Chuan spotted forty-nine enormous whirlpools arranged in formation and wondered what they were.

Ning Chuan investigated forty-nine strange whirlpools, then captured a Mad Bull Clan Heavenly King to test whether a living person could trigger them. After searching the captive’s soul and learning more about Si Nanbo’s strength, Ning Chuan threw him into a whirlpool to see what would happen.

• Ning Chuan sent Force clones into all forty-nine whirlpools, but none triggered anything unusual.

• Ning Chuan captured the Heavenly King alive and searched his soul, learning that Si Nanbo had reached the Early-Stage Sea Realm at his peak and might now be at the River Realm.
• Ning Chuan found memories suggesting Si Nanbo might possess a powerful physical body, which made him wary of the man’s hidden strength.
• Ning Chuan brought the captive above the whirlpools and threw him into one, causing a disturbance unlike the one made by a Force clone.

Ning Chuan concealed a series of one-way whirlpools, then learned that the Prison-Suppressing Manor’s Holy Medicine Garden had appeared on the Storm Plain and hurried there. Inside, he discovered that his true disciple identity token let him ignore the garden’s crushing pressure, and he realized that Xiao Chen, Zhang Tianzhi, and Li Huo might also be present.

• Ning Chuan recalled that Xiao Chen, Zhang Tianzhi, and Li Huo might be among the Heavenly Kings in the garden and prepared for the chance that they would find him.

Ning Chuan searched the Holy Medicine Garden for Bai Zhi and the Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit while avoiding the other treasure hunters. After learning Xu Yuan had endangered the Federation and sent his friends away on guard duty, Ning Chuan decided to go after him.

• Ning Chuan saw treasure hunters discover an unripe Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit growing on an enormous vine and headed deeper into the garden.
• Ning Chuan secretly collected holy medicines as he traveled, while the garden's suppression grew stronger and treasure hunters fought over its medicines.
• Ning Chuan encountered Lu Zhan, Qin Lang, and Liu Wan, who were heading out to stand guard on Xu Yuan's orders.
• Ning Chuan told the three that Xu Yuan had deliberately weakened the Federation's defenses, and they realized he might have sent them away to spite Ning Chuan.
• Ning Chuan rejected Lu Zhan's plan to gather allies and told the three to take him directly to Xu Yuan, intending to kill him.

Zhang Tianzhi attacked Ning Chuan and trapped the nearby explorers in a gray net, forcing Lu Zhan, Qin Lang, and Liu Wan to seek reinforcements. Ning Chuan agreed to hold Zhang Tianzhi off, then unleashed a fire phoenix that overwhelmed his attack.

• Zhang Tianzhi ambushed Ning Chuan and his companions with corrosive gray waves, then sealed the nearby explorers inside a giant gray net.
• Lu Zhan, Qin Lang, and Liu Wan decided to break through the net and find a Federation expert while Ning Chuan delayed Zhang Tianzhi.
• Ning Chuan charged Zhang Tianzhi as Lu Zhan and the others raced toward the net.
• Zhang Tianzhi attacked with his fifth-grade Law, but Ning Chuan's fire phoenix tore through the gray-light tentacles and plunged into the attack.

Ning Chuan overwhelmed Zhang Tianzhi in the Holy Medicine Garden, revealing that he was strong enough to kill Liu Cangdong and the three alien River Realm Heavenly Kings. As Zhang Tianzhi fled toward the garden's edge, Ning Chuan let him go rather than risk drawing more enemies into the fight.

• Ning Chuan's Nuclear-Flame Heavenly Phoenix and follow-up punch broke Zhang Tianzhi's defenses and sent him crashing through his gray net.
• Lu Zhan, Qin Lang, and Liu Wan realized Ning Chuan had the advantage and watched as he continued to overpower Zhang Tianzhi.
• Zhang Tianzhi accused Ning Chuan of killing Liu Cangdong, and Ning Chuan admitted it before wounding him with his saber.
• Ning Chuan's attacks drove Zhang Tianzhi toward the edge of the Holy Medicine Garden, where he tried to escape.
• Ning Chuan let Zhang Tianzhi flee rather than risk him seeking help from Xiao Chen, Li Huo, and the others inside the garden.

Ning Chuan drove Zhang Tianzhi out of the Holy Medicine Garden, then revealed his full speed and trapped him on the Storm Plain. Zhang Tianzhi fought back against Ning Chuan’s flame attacks, but Ning Chuan remained in control of the confrontation.

• Ning Chuan wounded Zhang Tianzhi repeatedly and pursued him out of the Holy Medicine Garden, letting him believe he could escape.
• Zhang Tianzhi claimed Ning Chuan could no longer harm him outside the garden’s suppressive light and threatened to leave through the Divine Martial Stele’s regular passage.
• Ning Chuan revealed his true speed, struck Zhang Tianzhi with ten blazing suns, and explained that he had lured him away to prevent him from seeking help.
• Ning Chuan surrounded Zhang Tianzhi with three flame storms and said the Federation’s Heavenly Kings could delay the Holy Heaven Alliance’s leaders and allies.
• Zhang Tianzhi broke through the flame storms and tried to flee, but Ning Chuan sent a fierce phoenix of flame swooping down at him.

Ning Chuan defeated Zhang Tianzhi’s escape attempts and demanded the Gloomlight Spear Martial Seal in exchange for his life. After Zhang Tianzhi handed over a single-use seal, he scattered his Realm-Breaking Dao Fruits and golden liquid to distract Ning Chuan and fled, while Ning Chuan revealed he had not planned to attack again.

• Ning Chuan repeatedly intercepted Zhang Tianzhi, leaving him trapped near his earlier crater and worsening his injuries.
• Ning Chuan offered to spare Zhang Tianzhi in exchange for the Gloomlight Spear Martial Seal, and Zhang Tianzhi eventually agreed to give him a single-use seal.
• Ning Chuan verified the seal was genuine and received insights from the Gloomlight Spear’s Heaven and Earth Piercing Law.
• Ning Chuan threatened Zhang Tianzhi with the Gloomlight Spear, prompting Zhang Tianzhi to throw three Realm-Breaking Dao Fruits and a vial of golden liquid in different directions.
• Zhang Tianzhi fled while Ning Chuan stayed behind, surprised because he had not intended to attack him again.

Ning Chuan collected Zhang Tianzhi’s abandoned treasures and used three Realm-Breaking Dao Fruits to advance his martial arts. The Gloomlight Spear reached its second level, and Ning Chuan tested its vastly improved speed and penetrating power.

• Ning Chuan chased after Zhang Tianzhi’s four streaks of light and collected them before they exploded, though Zhang Tianzhi escaped.
• Ning Chuan examined the golden liquid and three Realm-Breaking Dao Fruits, deciding to save the liquid for tempering the Gloomlight Spear’s Divine Weapon.
• Ning Chuan ate the first fruit, advancing the Mountain and River Seal to its second level and strengthening its Divine Weapon.
• Ning Chuan ate the second fruit, gaining little progress in the Gloomlight Spear, then swallowed the final fruit and comprehended its Mystic Truths.
• Ning Chuan advanced the Gloomlight Spear to its second level at 70% progress and tested it by piercing a boulder from a hundred thousand meters away.
• Ning Chuan judged the Gloomlight Spear and Heaven Severing Slash evenly matched without a paired martial art’s boost, and wondered how the Gloomlight Spear would perform with its Divine Weapon’s boost.

Ning Chuan strengthened the Gloomlight Spear with a Divine Weapon and golden liquid, then returned to the Holy Medicine Garden to pursue Realm-Breaking Dao Fruits and confront Xu Yuan. He headed for the garden alone, while his companions wondered whether Xu Yuan would survive.

• Ning Chuan sacrificed a war spear Divine Weapon to empower the Gloomlight Spear, which became strong enough to rival the Heaven Severing Slash.
• Ning Chuan tempered the new Divine Weapon with golden liquid and decided the Gloomlight Spear could become powerful enough to challenge top Great River Realm Heavenly Kings.
• Ning Chuan returned to the Holy Medicine Garden, where Lu Zhan, Qin Lang, and Liu Wan told him that Xu Yuan was near the central buildings and that several Heavenly Kings were fighting over the treasures there.
• Ning Chuan said he would search for Xu Yuan alone and told the others to ignore Xu Yuan's orders and act as they saw fit.
• After Ning Chuan flew into the garden, Liu Wan asked whether Xu Yuan could still make it out alive, and Lu Zhan and Qin Lang stayed silent.

Ning Chuan entered the Holy Medicine Garden’s central complex and found Xiao Chen searching for holy medicines. He confronted Xiao Chen and demanded his spatial ring and Ring of Truth Hearing in exchange for letting him leave.

• Ning Chuan flew unseen into the central area, where the light heavily suppressed the senses of those searching among the buildings.
• Ning Chuan overheard Divine Generals discussing a well-preserved blue-blood thunder medicine, then continued deeper without pursuing ordinary holy medicines.
• Ning Chuan learned that Alliance Master Xiao was searching nearby for Realm-Breaking Dao Fruits and found Xiao Chen attacking a building’s energy barrier.
• Xiao Chen’s Ring of Truth Hearing warned him of Ning Chuan’s approach, and Xiao Chen dodged before exposing Ning Chuan’s position with a Heaven-Overturning Seal.
• Ning Chuan appeared and demanded Xiao Chen’s spatial ring and Ring of Truth Hearing, then pointed a pitch-black war spear at him as proof of his threat.

Ning Chuan attacked Xiao Chen after Xiao Chen rejected his offer, revealing overwhelming mastery of the Gloomlight Spear and Mountain and River Seal. Badly injured and realizing Ning Chuan had acted alone against the other Heavenly Kings, Xiao Chen regretted refusing the deal as Ning Chuan prepared another strike.

• Ning Chuan offered Xiao Chen a deal, but Xiao Chen attacked with the Heaven-Overturning Seal, convinced a hidden Heavenly King was behind Ning Chuan.
• Ning Chuan countered with the Gloomlight Spear and pierced Xiao Chen's right shoulder.
• Ning Chuan's Mountain and River Seal overpowered Xiao Chen's Heaven-Overturning Seal, astonishing Xiao Chen with its mastery.
• Ning Chuan and a flame phoenix struck Xiao Chen, sending him flying and leaving him badly injured.
• Xiao Chen realized Ning Chuan had likely killed Liu Cangdong and defeated Zhang Tianzhi alone, and regretted refusing the deal as Ning Chuan formed another Gloomlight Spear.

Ning Chuan chased Xiao Chen through the Holy Medicine Garden, forcing him to surrender his rings to escape. Ning Chuan chose to pursue the spatial ring and discovered that it contained many Realm-Breaking Dao Fruits.

• Xiao Chen tried to flee the garden, but Ning Chuan's Gloomlight Spear wounded him and Ning Chuan caught up.
• Ning Chuan overwhelmed Xiao Chen with varied attacks, leaving him badly injured and unable to make much progress toward the garden's edge.
• Ning Chuan demanded both Xiao Chen's spatial ring and warning ring, warning that surrendering only one would not save him.
• Xiao Chen threw the two rings in opposite directions and raced onward, but Ning Chuan went after the spatial ring.
• Ning Chuan erased the spiritual imprint on the spatial ring and found that it contained quite a few Realm-Breaking Dao Fruits.

Ning Chuan ate six Realm-Breaking Dao Fruits, greatly improving Mountain and River Seal and Gloomlight Spear, then found Xu Liyuan fighting six Federation River Realm Heavenly Kings. Ning Chuan stole and immediately ate two more fruits, provoking Xu Liyuan’s fury.

• Ning Chuan took six Realm-Breaking Dao Fruits from a spatial ring and ate them, raising Mountain and River Seal to 83% progress and Gloomlight Spear to 98%.
• Ning Chuan flew toward the central buildings and heard a battle between six Federation River Realm Heavenly Kings and Xu Liyuan.
• Ning Chuan spotted two ripe Realm-Breaking Dao Fruits near the fight and secretly picked them while the combatants watched the vines.
• The seven fighters attacked the area where the fruits had vanished, but Ning Chuan emerged far away and avoided their strikes.
• The Federation Heavenly Kings recognized Ning Chuan, while Xu Liyuan became enraged after seeing him wash and eat both fruits immediately.

After consuming two Realm-Breaking Dao Fruits, Ning Chuan advanced the Gloomlight Spear and Mountain and River Seal while six Federation Heavenly Kings tried to hold Xu Liyuan back. Ning Chuan revealed his newfound speed, dismissed their help, and prepared to take Xu Liyuan’s spatial ring himself.

• Ning Chuan consumed the Realm-Breaking Dao Fruits and advanced the Gloomlight Spear to the second layer of the Perfection Realm as the Mountain and River Seal rapidly improved.
• Xu Liyuan threatened to kill Ning Chuan, and He Yunliang and the other five Federation River Realm Heavenly Kings attacked to stop him.
• Xu Liyuan sent four Heavenly Kings flying with a strike and tried to dissuade the others from risking their lives, but they continued resisting.
• Ning Chuan told the Heavenly Kings to let Xu Liyuan approach, then dodged the Brahma Spear with surprising ease.
• Ning Chuan told the others he could handle Xu Liyuan alone, and Xu Liyuan formed another Brahma Spear cautiously.
• Ning Chuan said he could take Xu Liyuan’s spatial ring himself without wasting time.

Ning Chuan used the Gloomlight Spear and Mountain and River Seal to overwhelm Xu Liyuan in the medicinal garden. As Xu Liyuan struggled to survive, the watching Heavenly Kings recognized Ning Chuan as stronger than even the top Great River Realm Heavenly Kings.

• Ning Chuan fused a Divine Weapon with the Gloomlight Spear and shattered Xu Liyuan's Brahma Spear, badly wounding him.
• Ning Chuan struck Xu Liyuan with the Mountain and River Seal, breaking his bones and driving him to flee.
• Ning Chuan trapped Xu Liyuan inside three firestorms and continued attacking as the six Federation River Realm Heavenly Kings watched.
• He Yunliang and the others discussed Ning Chuan's rapid mastery of two Heavenly Martial Realm clan-protecting martial arts and noted that the garden's suppressive light barely affected him.
• The Heavenly Kings concluded that Ning Chuan could defeat Xu Liyuan even without the suppression, while Xu Liyuan kept retreating under his assault.

Ning Chuan defeated Xu Liyuan’s avatar and forced Xu Liyuan to escape the Holy Medicine Garden with a speed-boosting treasure. After learning that Xu Yuan was at the Realm-Breaking Dao Tree, Ning Chuan agreed to go there with the six River Realm Heavenly Kings.

• Ning Chuan severed Xu Liyuan’s arm, took his spatial ring, and found five Realm-Breaking Dao Fruits inside.
• Xu Liyuan detonated his avatar to wound Ning Chuan, then escaped using a hidden Divine Light Talisman.
• Ning Chuan ate the five Realm-Breaking Dao Fruits and joked with the six River Realm Heavenly Kings about robbing them of their holy medicines.

• He Yunliang proposed that the group travel together, and Ning Chuan agreed to go to the tree.
• Lu Ze privately remarked that Xu Yuan would face a grim fate if he confronted Ning Chuan.

Xu Liyuan and Xiao Chen, both injured and robbed by Ning Chuan, searched for healing medicine while Ning Chuan’s group reached the Realm-Breaking Dao Tree. At the barrier, Ning Chuan publicly accused Xu Yuan of deliberately letting his hunters escape, and Xu Yuan denied the charge.

• Xu Liyuan met Xiao Chen, and they discovered that Ning Chuan had robbed and injured them both.

• Ning Chuan accused Xu Yuan of deliberately letting his pursuers escape, and Xu Yuan called the accusation slander and claimed his actions had been a mistake.

• Li Huo testified that Xu Yuan had deliberately let him and the Holy Heaven Alliance’s Heavenly Kings escape, while Xu Yuan dismissed his testimony and accused Ning Chuan of becoming a mole.
• Xu Yuan challenged Ning Chuan to provide evidence, and Ning Chuan said a soul search would reveal the truth as he raised his Gloomlight Spear.
• Ye Wuchen and He Yunliang warned Xu Yuan to ease his aggression, while Dong Kaiming urged both sides to avoid conflict.
