Chapter Summaries

After witnessing the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly God’s power, Ning Chuan advanced the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture to first-level Perfection while still in the Foundation Forging Realm. Bai Zhi warned him that creating an avatar would cripple his future prospects, and Ning Chuan decided to forge the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Divine Body first.

• Ning Chuan absorbed a torrent of insights and brought the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture to first-level Perfection.
• Bai Zhi explained that no Mortal Transcendence Realm cultivator in the Prison-Suppressing Manor’s history had reached that stage, and Ning Chuan realized he had done so while still in the Foundation Forging Realm.
• Bai Zhi told Ning Chuan that advancing to the Mortal Transcendence Realm would fuse his soul and body, preventing him from creating an avatar until he forged a Divine Body.
• Bai Zhi warned that creating an avatar ahead of time would severely limit a Force cultivator’s future realm and could destroy the prospects of someone hoping to become a god.
• Ning Chuan said he would forge the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Divine Body first.

Ning Chuan ignored the three-headed python’s taunts and advanced to the Mortal Transcendence Realm while recovering from his injuries on the Blood Curtain Plateau. After Bai Zhi explained that body cultivation needed energy from flesh and blood, Ice Lightning Tiger’s roar gave Ning Chuan a possible source.

• A three-headed python and two human Heavenly Kings arrived and mocked Ning Chuan, but Ning Chuan and Bai Zhi stayed hidden.
• Ning Chuan activated automatic tempering with the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture and entered the Mortal Transcendence Realm, more than doubling his physical strength.
• Ning Chuan swallowed sacred medicines to strengthen his body and gradually heal, though he found the cultivation slow and still could not withstand Gu Yunyou’s probing.
• Bai Zhi explained that body cultivators cultivated most efficiently with energy from flesh and blood, which could be obtained by refining powerful creatures.
• Ice Lightning Tiger roared from the darkness, and Ning Chuan looked toward it with a bright gleam in his eyes.

Ning Chuan was exposed by the invisible barrier and prepared to face the three River Realm Heavenly Kings pursuing him. Before they arrived, he inherited and perfected the Prison-Suppressing Manor’s body cultivation arts, then stood surrounded as his enemies underestimated him.

• Ning Chuan asked Bai Zhi about the flesh energy in natural treasures and decided that strengthening his body by hunting king-level ferocious beasts might help him evade Gu Yunyou’s detection.
• The invisible barrier detected Ning Chuan, and the Ice Lightning Tiger and two human Heavenly Kings located him by sensing the area covered by the Ends of the World Mystic Truth.
• Ning Chuan asked Bai Zhi to help him inherit the Prison-Suppressing Manor’s body cultivation arts before the three Heavenly Kings reached them.
• Bai Zhi used the Inheritance Stone to quickly pass Ning Chuan the arts and their insights, then entered the stone as he prepared to fight.
• The Ice Lightning Tiger, the long-haired Heavenly King, and An Chiyan surrounded Ning Chuan, while Ning Chuan’s newly inherited body cultivation arts reached perfection.

An Chiyan publicized a photo of Ning Chuan surrounded on the Blood Curtain Plateau by ten Heavenly Kings, prompting the Heavenly Martial Realm to mock the Federation and leaving its people fearful for him. When An Chiyan and two other Heavenly Kings attacked, Ning Chuan sent An Chiyan’s Brahma Spear back at him and exposed how badly Gu Yunyou had underestimated his strength.

• An Chiyan uploaded a photo of Ning Chuan to the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom’s websites and announced that ten Heavenly Kings would hunt him on the Blood Curtain Plateau.
• People from the Federation and the Heavenly Martial Realm argued over Ning Chuan’s chances, but the announcement of ten hunters silenced the Federation’s side.
• The Ice Lightning Tiger, An Chiyan, and a long-haired Heavenly King attacked Ning Chuan with lightning, a sword beam, and the Brahma Spear.
• Ning Chuan deflected the Brahma Spear and sent it back at An Chiyan, forcing An Chiyan to block it and leaving him injured.
• An Chiyan realized Gu Yunyou had greatly underestimated Ning Chuan’s strength.

After advancing to the Mortal Transcendence Realm, Ning Chuan overwhelmed An Chiyan and the long-haired Heavenly King, then badly wounded and killed the Ice Lightning Tiger. The two human Heavenly Kings were left facing Ning Chuan after failing to save the beast.

• Ning Chuan drove An Chiyan back, then struck the long-haired Heavenly King with Gloomlight Spear and injured him.
• Ning Chuan broke through the Ice Lightning Tiger's lightning attack and blasted it deep into the snowy plain with a punch.
• Ning Chuan rushed to finish the badly wounded Ice Lightning Tiger as it cried for help.
• An Chiyan and the long-haired Heavenly King tried to intercept Ning Chuan, but he unleashed Divine Treasury of Ten Thousand Weapons against them.
• Ning Chuan reached the Ice Lightning Tiger and killed it with Heaven Severing Slash, leaving An Chiyan and the long-haired Heavenly King grim-faced.

Ning Chuan refined the Ice Lightning Tiger’s corpse to heal his injuries and grow stronger as he fought An Chiyan and a long-haired Heavenly King. Just as he pressed them toward defeat, Xiao Chen arrived as reinforcements.

• Ning Chuan used the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture to refine the Ice Lightning Tiger’s flesh and blood, healing his injuries and greatly increasing his strength.
• Ning Chuan attacked An Chiyan and the long-haired Heavenly King, overwhelming them with Force martial arts as he continued refining the tiger’s corpse.
• After the tiger’s body crumbled to ash, Ning Chuan intensified his assault, leaving both Heavenly Kings gravely wounded.
• Ning Chuan focused most of his Divine Weapons on An Chiyan, and the long-haired Heavenly King refused to help him.
• Xiao Chen arrived and used the Heaven-Overturning Seal to intercept Ning Chuan’s Divine Weapons, giving the two Heavenly Kings hope of survival.

Ning Chuan killed the wounded long-haired Heavenly King despite Xiao Chen’s arrival, then fought Xiao Chen and An Chiyan together. As Ning Chuan kept An Chiyan under pressure, six more River Realm Heavenly Kings arrived from the eastern and western horizons.

• Xiao Chen arrived to rescue the long-haired Heavenly King, but Ning Chuan cut through his spatial attack and killed the wounded man.
• Xiao Chen attacked Ning Chuan with the Heaven-Overturning Seal, and Ning Chuan met it head-on before launching a two-against-one battle with Xiao Chen and An Chiyan.
• Ning Chuan’s attacks damaged Xiao Chen’s shield-shaped avatar and badly wounded An Chiyan, who struggled to evade a blazing sun.
• Six River Realm Heavenly Kings approached from the east and west, including two human Heavenly Kings and the three-headed python Ning Chuan had seen earlier.

Ning Chuan faced the newly arrived River Realm reinforcements and fought them off with his Space Cutting Law, while plotting to kill the Three-Headed Python and absorb its energy. The assembled kings taunted him over the Prison-Suppressing Dao Lineage, and Ning Chuan prepared to risk an injury to strike first.

• An Chiyan welcomed the arrival of the Hurricane Scale Eagle team, while Ning Chuan saw the new beasts as a chance to gather enough energy to escape.
• The Hurricane Scale Eagle, the Three-Headed Python, and a gaunt old man attacked Ning Chuan together, but he cut through their attacks with his Space Cutting Law and wounded the old man.
• Ning Chuan pursued the old man, but a golden-armored Heavenly King blocked his way before two more human Heavenly Kings attacked from opposite sides.
• Ning Chuan repelled the two attackers and dodged An Chiyan's war spear, which tore through his clothes and struck the snowy plain.
• The Three-Headed Python bragged that the Holy Heaven Alliance would use Ning Chuan's Prison-Suppressing Dao Lineage, and Ning Chuan decided to target the python despite the risk of injury.

Ning Chuan killed the Three-Headed Python and refined the flesh and blood from two of its heads while fighting off the other Heavenly Kings. As his body grew stronger and his injuries eased, he challenged An Chiyan’s claim that he could not hold out much longer.

• Ning Chuan feinted toward An Chiyan, then used Nine Steps to the Ends of the World to evade the Heavenly Kings’ attacks and rush the Three-Headed Python.
• Ning Chuan overwhelmed the python’s attacks and killed it with a powerful fist strike, destroying part of its body.
• Ning Chuan seized two of the python’s heads and evaded the other Heavenly Kings while refining their flesh and blood to strengthen his body and reduce his injuries.
• An Chiyan urged the Heavenly Kings to attack, believing Ning Chuan was nearing his limit, and threw a Brahma Spear at him.
• Ning Chuan dodged the spear and asked An Chiyan how much longer he thought Ning Chuan could hold out.

Ning Chuan unleashed his full power against the Heavenly Kings hunting him and killed An Chiyan and the golden-armored Heavenly King in a single attack. He turned toward the five survivors, who faced him in silence as the hunters realized they had become the prey.

• Ning Chuan charged An Chiyan, and his golden phoenix strike sent Xiao Chen's Heaven-Overturning Seal flying.
• Ning Chuan cleaved the golden-armored Heavenly King's true body in two, and his blade also grievously wounded An Chiyan.
• Ning Chuan pierced the golden-armored Heavenly King's avatar and An Chiyan with the Gloomlight Spear, killing both Heavenly Kings.
• Ning Chuan coughed blood but recovered the Gloomlight Spear and turned to face Xiao Chen, the Hurricane Scale Eagle, the twin-hammer and saber-wielding Heavenly Kings, and the gaunt old man.
• The five surviving Heavenly Kings fell silent as they realized half their group had died and questioned which side was truly the prey.

Ning Chuan killed the gaunt old man, recovered his strength by refining the three-headed python’s final head, and fought the remaining Heavenly Kings. By the end of the night, he had killed two more Heavenly Kings, leaving only Xiao Chen and the Hurricane Scale Eagle.

• Xiao Chen ordered the four remaining Heavenly Kings to tighten their formation while he led the attack, but Ning Chuan bypassed him and killed the gaunt old man with a blazing sun.
• Ning Chuan charged the Hurricane Scale Eagle, then used the rebound from the Heavenly Kings’ attacks to escape their encirclement and reach the three-headed python’s last head.
• Ning Chuan refined the python’s head to heal his injuries and strengthen his body, then returned to battle against Xiao Chen and the other three Heavenly Kings.
• Ning Chuan broke through the dual-hammer Heavenly King’s defense and blasted him apart, then struck down the saber-wielding Heavenly King and crushed him with the great seal of mountains and rivers.
• Xiao Chen and the Hurricane Scale Eagle were left as the only two opponents, after eight Heavenly Kings had fallen.

Ning Chuan killed the Hurricane Scale Eagle and defeated Xiao Chen, using Soul-Suppressing Roar to incapacitate him before finishing him with a Great River Realm Law Bomb. All ten Heavenly Kings who ambushed Ning Chuan were dead, but the night on the Blood Curtain Plateau was not over.

• Ning Chuan injured Xiao Chen, then caught and killed the fleeing Hurricane Scale Eagle with a single slash.
• Ning Chuan protected the eagle's corpse from Xiao Chen's Heaven-Overturning Seal and refined part of it to restore his strength.
• Xiao Chen tried to escape and warned Ning Chuan that more Holy Heaven Alliance Heavenly Kings were coming, but Ning Chuan kept attacking.
• Ning Chuan used Soul-Suppressing Roar to make Xiao Chen lose consciousness, then threw a Great River Realm Law Bomb at him.
• The Law Bomb killed Xiao Chen, leaving all ten Heavenly Kings who had ambushed Ning Chuan dead on the Blood Curtain Plateau.

Ning Chuan hid from the Great River Realm Heavenly Kings while healing and strengthening his body on the Blood Curtain Plateau. Meanwhile, the Federation learned that An Chiyan had been killed, confirming Ning Chuan was still alive and turning the hunt on its head.

• Ning Chuan found a Soul-Generating Pill in Xiao Chen’s space stone, and Bai Zhi identified its universal-language certification as coming from the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom’s drug administration.
• Ning Chuan spotted the Holy Heaven Alliance’s Great River Realm Heavenly Kings approaching, escaped the barrier’s searching light, and concealed himself with the Ends of the World Mystic Truth.
• Ning Chuan treated his injuries on a snow-covered mountain while the searching Heavenly King and barrier light failed to detect him.
• Ning Chuan used holy medicines to temper his body, raising his physical strength above seven hundred thousand tons as he waited for his injuries to heal.
• The Federation’s official accounts released a photo of An Chiyan’s corpse, revealing that Ning Chuan was alive and An Chiyan was dead.

After Ning Chuan killed every Heavenly King who hunted him on the Blood Curtain Plateau, the Federation celebrated his overwhelming victory. The Federation’s leaders then worried that he remained trapped behind Gu Yunyou’s Sea Realm barrier, with escape seemingly impossible without mastering a Second-Grade Void Law.

• The Federation authorities announced that Ning Chuan had killed all the Heavenly Kings who attacked him, including Xiao Chen, and released videos of the battlefield as evidence.
• Federation citizens celebrated Ning Chuan’s victory, while people in the Heavenly Martial Realm fell silent rather than dispute the reports.
• Bai Qi asked why the Holy Heaven Alliance had sent so many Knights and Divine Generals to the Blood Curtain Plateau, but the Federation’s undercover agent had not yet uncovered their purpose.
• Lu Zhan asked whether Ning Chuan could escape through the Holy Heaven Alliance’s passage in the barrier, and Ye Wuchen said it was nearly impossible because the passage lay beside Gu Yunyou, unless Ning Chuan comprehended a Second-Grade Void Law.

While recovering on the Blood Curtain Plateau, Ning Chuan completed several Prison-Suppressing Manor inheritances and learned that Spirit Transformation Technique could help him evade Gu Yunyou’s detection. Bai Zhi explained the limits of Laws and revealed that Ning Chuan’s body-cultivation potential rivaled that of a Force cultivator with a first-grade Law.

• Ning Chuan continued healing and planned to leave the Blood Curtain Plateau once he recovered enough to break through its invisible barrier.
• Bai Zhi completed Ning Chuan’s inheritances for the remaining sections of Soul-Suppressing Roar and began teaching him the final sections of the Spirit Transformation Technique.
• Ning Chuan asked whether Spirit Transformation Technique could fool Gu Yunyou, and Bai Zhi confirmed that his second-section perfection was sufficient to conceal his soul fluctuations from Gu Yunyou.
• Bai Zhi explained that a Law’s grade limited the highest realm its user could reach, and that a first-grade Law was required to become a god.
• Bai Zhi told Ning Chuan that his body-cultivation achievements gave him potential rivaling a Force cultivator with a first-grade Law, and Ning Chuan wondered whether his current realm was the only thing holding him back.

Ning Chuan used a Soul-Generating Pill to accelerate his soul cultivation while recovering from his injuries. At dusk, he spotted Divine Generals and Knights searching the Blood Curtain Plateau and approached them to discover their purpose, finding Xi Fengrou traveling with a Spirit-Seeking Talisman.

• Bai Zhi advised Ning Chuan to strengthen his soul with the Soul-Generating Pill, and he swallowed it, greatly accelerating the Divine Wave Meditation Method’s progress.
• After the pill’s effects ended, Ning Chuan continued healing and grinding away the black light in his body.
• At dusk, Ning Chuan sensed Divine Generals and Knights near the Heavenly Kings’ position and suspected they had a way to track him.
• Ning Chuan concealed himself and flew toward the searchers, then spotted Xi Fengrou riding a giant azure eagle with a male companion.
• Xi Fengrou revealed in her thoughts that Liu Cangdong had ordered her to risk her life searching for Ning Chuan, and the cards she and her companion carried began to glow.

Ning Chuan learned that the Holy Heaven Alliance was using Spirit-Seeking Talismans to track him and discovered that more than ten Great River Realm Heavenly Kings were coming to hunt him. He disabled the talismans, killed Xi Fengrou’s companion and eagle, and successfully used a Divine Oracle Talisman to recruit Xi Fengrou as an agent of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom.

• Ning Chuan captured Xi Fengrou and her companion, searched their souls, and learned about the Spirit-Seeking Talismans, the approaching Heavenly Kings, and Gu Yunyou’s offer to help whoever claimed the Prison-Suppressing Dao Lineage.
• With Bai Zhi’s warning, Ning Chuan concealed his soul fluctuations and made the Spirit-Seeking Talismans go dark, preventing the Heavenly Kings from tracking him.
• Ning Chuan asked Xi Fengrou whether she could leave the Blood Curtain Plateau, then killed her companion and the enormous azure eagle.
• Ning Chuan tried to implant a Divine Oracle Talisman in Xi Fengrou’s soul; after the first one failed, the second succeeded.
• Xi Fengrou pledged loyalty to Ning Chuan and asked whether he was the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom’s envoy on Martial Star, and Ning Chuan confirmed it.

Ning Chuan impersonated a Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom envoy and recruited Xi Fengrou into his deception, claiming Lin Fengyang had been a planted spy. When Heavenly King Wei Yun arrived to search for him, Ning Chuan hid his identity and left the Blood Curtain Plateau with Xi Fengrou.

• Ning Chuan used the Spirit Transformation Technique to mimic a Divine Oracle Talisman's soul fluctuation, convincing Xi Fengrou that he was a divine envoy.
• Ning Chuan claimed Lin Fengyang had fought him to preserve his cover and gain the Federation's trust, then rebuked Xi Fengrou for asking about Gu Yunyou.
• Xi Fengrou warned Ning Chuan that the Holy Heaven Alliance's Heavenly Kings were coming, so he changed his body, face, and clothes to impersonate her companion.
• Wei Yun arrived and searched the area while Xi Fengrou claimed she and Ning Chuan had not seen Ning Chuan and that her tamed beast had vanished.
• Xi Fengrou asked to leave with Ning Chuan, and Wei Yun allowed them to return to the Beast Emperor Hall.

Disguised as an ordinary Knight and accompanied by Xi Fengrou, Ning Chuan left the Blood Curtain Plateau through Gu Yunyou’s fixed passage without being detected. They reached a nearby island, where Xi Fengrou took him aboard her spaceship bound for the Beast Emperor Hall so he could treat his injuries.

• Ning Chuan reassured Xi Fengrou that Gu Yunyou would not see through his concealment as they flew toward the passage.
• Ning Chuan and Xi Fengrou turned in their Spirit-Seeking Talismans, and Xi Fengrou explained that Ning Chuan had secretly seized their tamed beasts.
• Gu Yunyou noticed the pair but dismissed them as ordinary Knights, then let them pass through the fixed passage.
• After flying away from the Blood Curtain Plateau, Ning Chuan and Xi Fengrou reached a nearby island the next morning.
• Xi Fengrou took Ning Chuan aboard her spaceship bound for the Beast Emperor Hall and offered to help him heal by providing tamed beasts.

Ning Chuan traveled to the Beast Emperor Hall under his divine envoy disguise, intending to refine its beast companions and decide whether to recruit or kill Liu Cangdong. He reached the headquarters with his injuries mostly healed and prepared to strengthen himself further.

• Ning Chuan told Xi Fengrou that he was refining beast companions to inherit the Prison-Suppressing Dao Lineage and planned to handle Liu Cangdong after increasing his strength.
• Ning Chuan said he would try to recruit Liu Cangdong, but would kill him and impersonate him if the attempt failed.
• Xi Fengrou offered to attend to Ning Chuan during the journey, but he rejected her and resolved to kill her if his disguise was exposed.
• Ning Chuan traveled with Xi Fengrou to the Beast Emperor Hall's headquarters, healing rapidly after leaving the Blood Curtain Plateau.
• Ning Chuan left the cultivation room, noting that refining more vicious beasts might let his body's own healing restore him.
