Chapter Summaries

Ning Chuan fought Si Nanbo, Li Huo, Xiao Chen, and Xu Liyuan alone for the Prison-Suppressing Manor's inheritance stone, overpowering all four and targeting the weakened Li Huo. As the crowd watched, Lin Fengyang considered Ning Chuan a threat to the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom's plans and relied on the gifts and resources it had given him.

• Ning Chuan refused Ye Wuchen's offer to help and sent him and the others to the final trial's safe assessment area.

When the Prison Realm's suppressing waves vanished, Si Nanbo, Xiao Chen, and Xu Liyuan attacked Ning Chuan, who suffered only superficial wounds. Ning Chuan countered with Divine Treasury of Ten Thousand Weapons, and the three Heavenly Kings resolved to wound him before the waves returned.

• Si Nanbo judged that their only chance was to seriously wound Ning Chuan before the suppressing waves returned.

Ning Chuan escaped Si Nanbo and the others with Bai Zhi’s help and learned that the Prison Realm was being eroded from both inside and outside. As he prepared to begin the inheritance trial, a voice revealed that his trial was already over.

• Ning Chuan fought Si Nanbo, Xiao Chen, and Xu Liyuan while waiting for the Prison Realm’s suppressive waves to return, and Ye Wuchen prepared to help him.
• Bai Zhi intervened with branches of the Ancient Tree of Heaven and Earth, splitting the battlefield and giving Ning Chuan a clear path into the testing area.
• Bai Zhi warned Ning Chuan that the Prison Realm was being eroded by forces both inside and outside, and that the suppressive waves had vanished as the realm protected the Inheritance Stone.
• Ning Chuan suspected the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom’s undercover agent was among the Heavenly Kings in the testing area, but Bai Zhi said he could not fight there unless he passed the trial.
• Ning Chuan asked to begin the trial, and a voice announced that his trial was already over.

The Prison Realm’s remnant realm spirit revealed that Ning Chuan had passed the assessment and been chosen for the Prison-Suppressing Manor’s supreme inheritance. As the crowd reacted, Si Nanbo, Xiao Chen, and Xu Liyuan secretly plotted to attack Ning Chuan and seize it.

• The remnant realm spirit appeared before Ning Chuan and explained that she had once been the Prison Realm’s realm spirit, while Bai Zhi and the other partial realm spirits were independent new lives.
• She announced that everyone’s assessment had ended, revealing that only the first four trials were genuine and the final trial had been a smokescreen to confuse Martial Star’s enemies.
• The remnant realm spirit explained that Ning Chuan had met the supreme inheritance’s requirements through his talent, cultivation, and conduct toward Momo and Le Yu.
• She declared Ning Chuan the heir to the Prison-Suppressing Manor’s supreme inheritance, prompting astonishment and regret among the crowd and anger from Si Nanbo.
• Si Nanbo, Xiao Chen, and Xu Liyuan discussed attacking Ning Chuan while the suppressive fluctuations were absent, agreeing to try to seize the inheritance if the assessment areas remained in place.

Ning Chuan obtained the Prison-Suppressing Manor’s Inheritance Stone, gaining control of the Prison Realm and sheltering Momo, Le Yu, and Bai Zhi inside it. After the realm spirit’s remnant vanished and the assessment restrictions lifted, Ning Chuan kept the Heavenly Kings in place, but Si Nanbo, Xiao Chen, and Xu Liyuan attacked him and he restored the suppressive fluctuations.

• The remnant will of the realm spirit explained that the Inheritance Stone could preserve Momo, Le Yu, and Bai Zhi, then gave it to Ning Chuan and urged him to guide Martial Star through the coming chaos.
• Ning Chuan used his new authority over the Inheritance Stone to send Momo and Le Yu inside, and the remnant will vanished after warning him that the Prison Realm’s destruction would endanger Martial Star’s inhabitants.

• Ning Chuan restored the Prison Realm’s suppressive fluctuations, weakening Xu Liyuan’s spear and terrifying the attackers.

Ning Chuan killed Xu Liyuan and Xiao Chen after the Prison Realm’s suppressive fluctuations returned, leaving Si Nanbo as the last surviving Heavenly King facing him. As Si Nanbo feared he would not survive until Dong Kaiming could arrive, Ning Chuan turned his attention to him.

• Lin Fengyang realized the Prison Realm’s suppressive fluctuations had returned and tried to dispel them.
• Ning Chuan killed the badly injured Xu Liyuan with a spear thrust between the brows.
• Ning Chuan overwhelmed Si Nanbo and Xiao Chen, killing Xiao Chen with the Mountain and River Seal.
• Si Nanbo feared Ning Chuan would kill him before Dong Kaiming could join the fight.
• Ning Chuan turned toward Si Nanbo as golden stars spread across the sky.

• Ning Chuan continued fighting Si Nanbo while waiting to see whether the undercover agent would act.
• Lin Fengyang repeatedly tried to activate a device, but its corrosive power did not release, and Ning Chuan turned toward him after noticing the attempt.

Ning Chuan exposed Lin Fengyang as a Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom spy when Lin Fengyang survived his attack thanks to a force that freed him from the Prison Realm's suppression. Lin Fengyang and Si Nanbo joined forces against Ning Chuan, who prepared to remove the suppression himself.

• Ning Chuan sensed an eroding force from Lin Fengyang's spatial ring and attacked him with a Nuclear-Flame Heavenly Phoenix, but Lin Fengyang emerged unharmed because an invisible force protected him from the Prison Realm's suppression.
• Lin Fengyang revealed that he was an undercover agent for the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom and persuaded Si Nanbo to cooperate in killing Ning Chuan before they contested the Inheritance Stone.

• Ning Chuan charged Lin Fengyang, but Si Nanbo intercepted him and was badly injured as Ning Chuan drove him back.
• Lin Fengyang joined Si Nanbo and said his isolating force would free them from suppression after a short wait; Ning Chuan asked why they needed to wait if he could remove the Prison Realm's suppression.

Ning Chuan used the Prison Realm’s shifting suppressive fluctuation to overpower Lin Fengyang and intercept Si Nanbo as they tried to survive or escape. Lin Fengyang and Si Nanbo realized Ning Chuan controlled the fluctuation, leaving them with no way to fight him on equal terms.

• Ning Chuan struck Si Nanbo with a powerful punch, then attacked Lin Fengyang with ten golden suns as the Prison Realm’s suppressive fluctuation vanished and strengthened his attack.
• Lin Fengyang detonated his Heart of Mystic Ice Law and opened a defensive scroll from the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom, but Ning Chuan’s attack still injured him.
• Si Nanbo tried to flee, but Ning Chuan blocked his path and restored the suppressive fluctuation before slashing him with his saber.
• Lin Fengyang and Si Nanbo realized Ning Chuan controlled the Prison Realm’s suppressive fluctuation and that Lin Fengyang’s trump card was useless.

Ning Chuan fought Lin Fengyang and Si Nanbo while using the Prison Realm’s suppressive fluctuations to control the battle. Si Nanbo detonated his Heart of Law, but the explosion was weaker than Ning Chuan expected and also engulfed Lin Fengyang.

• Si Nanbo and Lin Fengyang threatened Ning Chuan and urged him to surrender, but Ning Chuan attacked them with his Divine Weapons.
• Ning Chuan severed Si Nanbo’s left arm, then trapped Lin Fengyang with golden flame storms and battered him with Divine Weapons.
• Ning Chuan alternated the Prison Realm’s suppressive fluctuations to attack both opponents and thwart their attempts to flee.
• Ning Chuan badly wounded Si Nanbo, who detonated his Heart of Law after realizing his threats would not stop Ning Chuan.
• Ning Chuan sheltered behind a Mountain and River Seal as the explosion engulfed him and Lin Fengyang, then wondered why it was weaker than expected.

Ning Chuan survived Si Nanbo’s self-detonation, took his spatial ring, and used its Realm-Breaking Dao Fruits to advance the Myriad Nuclei Law. As Lin Fengyang tried to bargain for his life by promising riches and a future in the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom, Ning Chuan asked whether he still had any cultivation-accelerating treasures.

• Si Nanbo’s physical self-detonation faded, leaving Ning Chuan and Lin Fengyang unharmed, while Si Nanbo escaped with an avatar elsewhere.
• Ning Chuan took Si Nanbo’s spatial ring, found five Realm-Breaking Dao Fruits, and consumed them.
• The fruits advanced Ning Chuan’s Nuclear Weapon Mystic Truth into the Third-Grade Myriad Nuclei Law, which reached the Third Heaven and strengthened his Force.

• Lin Fengyang offered to introduce Ning Chuan to the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom in exchange for the Inheritance Stone, promising supreme treasures and faster cultivation.
• Ning Chuan asked Lin Fengyang whether he still had much cultivation-accelerating material on him.

Ning Chuan defeated Lin Fengyang but was gravely injured by the third-grade Sea Realm Law Bomb. Before escaping with a teleportation treasure, Lin Fengyang’s surviving soul exposed Ning Chuan’s condition and destination to the Heavenly Martial Realm and the alien races.

• Ning Chuan used the Theory of Nuclear Peace for All Things to overwhelm Lin Fengyang and break his energy shield.
• Lin Fengyang detonated the Law Bomb, killing himself and destroying Ning Chuan’s firestorms, but Ning Chuan survived with severe injuries.

• Lin Fengyang shouted to the people of the Heavenly Martial Realm and the alien races that Ning Chuan was gravely injured and carrying the Prison-Suppressing Dao Lineage.

Ning Chuan was teleported into the Heavenly Martial Realm despite Ye Wuchen's attempt to stop it, while the Prison Realm's collapse severed the passage between the realms. Ye Wuchen learned that Martial Star was surrounded by the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom's fleet, leaving Ning Chuan isolated for at least two months.

• Ning Chuan killed Lin Fengyang and tried to escape the teleportation barrier, but Ye Wuchen's attack only cracked it before Ning Chuan vanished into the Dimensional Realm.
• Ye Wuchen ordered the Federation's Heavenly Kings to capture witnesses and conceal Ning Chuan's arrival, but the Prison Realm began collapsing and scattered its escapees.
• Ye Wuchen sent Dong Kaiming through a special passage to notify Heavenly King Bai Qi, while he led others through the ordinary passage to spread false information.
• Ye Wuchen and the others found the Divine Martial Stele shattered and the North Sea Domain split by a wall of void power that severed the passage between Martial Star and the Heavenly Martial Realm.
• Dong Kaiming reported that Martial Star was surrounded by the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom's space fleet and that the void barrier would not dissipate until at least the beginning of summer, leaving Ning Chuan alone in the Heavenly Martial Realm.

The Federation mobilized to rescue Ning Chuan from the Heavenly Martial Realm but could not send a team through the growing void disturbance, while awakened Law Spirits drew Bai Qi and Wei Chen away. After the military released footage of Ning Chuan killing four Great River Realm Heavenly Kings, websites linked to the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom began spreading news that he was trapped and near death.

• Ye Wuchen urged Dong Kaiming to send a rescue team, but Dong Kaiming said the void disturbance made it too dangerous and that Bai Qi and Wei Chen were hunting awakened Law Spirits elsewhere.
• The Federation mobilized rescue forces as people across Martial Star debated Ning Chuan's feats in the Prison Realm.
• The Federation military released footage of Ning Chuan killing Li Huo, Xu Liyuan, Xiao Chen, and a Law Spirit, shocking the public and silencing many doubters.
• Websites began reporting that Ning Chuan was gravely injured and trapped in the Heavenly Martial Realm, and authorities could not shut them down.
• A technical expert said the websites' technology was beyond the Federation's capabilities and suspected the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom had built them.

While traveling through the Dimensional Realm, Ning Chuan searched Lin Fengyang’s memories and discovered the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace’s Ancient Pilgrimage Path could bring an army of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom to Martial Star. He seized Lin Fengyang’s secrets and treasures before arriving in the Heavenly Martial Realm.

• Ning Chuan learned from Lin Fengyang’s memories that the Ancient Pilgrimage Path in the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace could transport an army from the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom to Martial Star, and he was relieved it was under his control.

• Ning Chuan discovered that Lin Fengyang had been the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom’s only Heavenly King-level spy in charge of its Federation operations, with three Divine Generals and dozens of Knights under him.
• Ning Chuan took a stack of Divine Oracle Talismans that could make targets believe in and obey the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom, then finished searching Lin Fengyang’s memories.
• The light carrying Ning Chuan completed its transmission and brought him from the Dimensional Realm into the Heavenly Martial Realm.

Ning Chuan arrived on the Blood Curtain Plateau, badly injured and carrying the Prison-Suppressing Manor’s Inheritance Stone, and sought a way to recover quickly. As he began to consider receiving the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture inheritance, a River Realm Heavenly King appeared and attacked him, revealing that the man’s strength remained undiminished despite Ning Chuan having killed his incarnation.

• Ning Chuan realized he would need to cross the Heavenly Martial Realm to reach the passage to the North Sea Domain, while his injuries and the black light inside him continued to threaten his life.
• He summoned Momo, Le Yu, and Bai Zhi, who advised him to cultivate the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture and advance to Mortal Transcendence to improve his healing.
• Ning Chuan decided to receive the inheritance on the Blood Curtain Plateau, but a River Realm Heavenly King arrived nearby before he could begin.
• The Heavenly King demanded the Prison-Suppressing Dao Lineage and attacked with a war halberd; Ning Chuan broke the weapon with his Divine Weapon, though the clash forced him back.
• Ning Chuan recognized the Heavenly King as someone whose incarnation he had killed at Origin Martial Mountain and was alarmed that the man had retained his River Realm strength.

Ning Chuan killed an armored River Realm Heavenly King and learned that Gu Yunyou had reached the Sea Realm. As Ning Chuan fled the Blood Curtain Plateau, an enormous barrier descended and trapped him within its bounds.

• The armored River Realm Heavenly King tried to stall Ning Chuan and demanded the Prison-Suppressing Dao Lineage, but Ning Chuan struck him down and killed him.
• Ning Chuan searched the Heavenly King's memories and learned that Gu Yunyou had distributed Soul-Generating Pills and that the Holy Heaven Alliance knew Ning Chuan was on the Blood Curtain Plateau.
• Ning Chuan told Bai Zhi that Gu Yunyou had arrived and advanced to the Sea Realm, then suspected the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom had helped him break through.
• Ning Chuan concealed himself in the void and hurried toward the plateau's coast to escape.
• An invisible barrier descended from beyond the Heavenly Martial Realm's atmosphere and covered the Blood Curtain Plateau, trapping Ning Chuan inside.

Ning Chuan and Bai Zhi assessed Gu Yunyou’s barrier and its sweeping detection light, then tested whether it could reveal Ning Chuan through the Ends of the World Mystic Truth. With a plan to hide and recover, Ning Chuan reached a snow-laden grove and prepared to inherit the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture.

• Ning Chuan summoned Bai Zhi, who identified Gu Yunyou’s barrier as a domain martial art that would be difficult to break through while Ning Chuan was injured.
• Bai Zhi explained that maintaining the vast barrier likely restricted Gu Yunyou’s movements, but Ning Chuan suspected the Holy Heaven Alliance had another way to track him.
• Gu Yunyou’s barrier projected sweeping sheets of white light, and Ning Chuan realized it searched the plateau area by area.
• Ning Chuan approached the light and tested its detection, finding it highly sensitive but believing he could evade it after recovering some of his strength.
• Ning Chuan and Bai Zhi flew to a snow-laden grove, where Ning Chuan manifested the Prison-Suppressing Manor’s Inheritance Stone and asked Bai Zhi how to inherit the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture.

Ning Chuan inherited the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture and learned how its heavens and gates affected body cultivation. As the Ice Lightning Tiger challenged him from across the snowfield, Ning Chuan ignored it and prepared to study the Scripture’s insights.

• Ning Chuan completed the inheritance of the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture and saw that he had reached the First Gate of the First Heaven.
• Bai Zhi explained that the Scripture had three heavens and nine gates per heaven, and that higher mastery improved cultivation, physical limits, and the opening and quality of Divine Treasures.
• Ning Chuan and Bai Zhi heard a roar and spotted the Ice Lightning Tiger flying with two human River Realm Heavenly Kings.
• Ning Chuan recognized the Ice Lightning Tiger as Liu Cangdong’s tamed beast, recalled killing its true body, and realized its identical avatar likely came from a flesh-and-blood wondrous object.
• The Ice Lightning Tiger taunted Ning Chuan and tried to provoke him, but Ning Chuan ignored it and asked Bai Zhi how to observe the Scripture’s profound insights.
• Bai Zhi said insights remained for the first two heavens, with the Second Heaven’s insights available only after Ning Chuan advanced, and Ning Chuan sent his mental power into the Inheritance Stone to begin studying.
