Ning Chuan deceived Nie Yang and learned that the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom planned to infiltrate the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace and seize its Ancient Pilgrimage Path, which he resolved to thwart. Meanwhile, the Hidden Slaughter Dao Lineage appeared, and a member of the Yin Family’s Divine Guardian Guard barred the Federation from entering, revealing that an imperial-family descendant had arrived on Martial Star.

• Ning Chuan convinced Nie Yang that he was a loyal Divine Slave and accepted orders to join the Supreme Hall, infiltrate the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace, and cooperate with Wei Xiuyuan.

• The onlookers recognized the man as a member of the Yin Family’s Divine Guardian Guard and realized that an important imperial-family figure had descended on Martial Star.

The Federation confronted a Divine Guardian Guard sent by the Yin Family, but its experts could not withstand his strength. Bai Xiuxiu survived his strike by activating a dark-gold token whose barrier carried laws associated with Ning Chuan, leaving the token’s origin clear to the onlookers.

• A saintess and other descended geniuses identified the middle-aged opponent as a Divine Guardian Guard who had crippled his cultivation to descend to Martial Star.

• Ning Chuan killed the middle-aged Divine Guardian Guard and drew out his soul to search its memories.
• Yue Hao warned Ning Chuan that the Yin Family’s guards had soul restrictions, but Ning Chuan still learned that Yin Zhu had founded the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom after Martial Star’s era and that Yin Xusi had targeted him only after his victories.
• Ning Chuan wondered why the Yin Family repeatedly sent descendants to Martial Star and suspected they were verifying something that required direct bloodline.
• Ning Chuan asked whether Yin Xusi had entered the inheritance, and a military Heavenly King described the young man who had ordered the entrance sealed.
• Ning Chuan recognized Yin Xusi in the Heavenly King’s conjured image and ordered Qin Ya to enter the inheritance with him while everyone else waited outside.

• After Yue Hao estimated the value of a Third-Grade Law comprehension resource, Ning Chuan set the fee at one hundred million Star Yuan and gave the crowd his account number.

Ning Chuan enforced a hundred-million-star-yuan entrance fee at the Hidden Slaughter Dao Lineage and threatened those who refused to pay. After entering, he revealed to Yue Hao that the fee was a trial run for a broader taxation plan, leaving Yue Hao alarmed about what else Ning Chuan intended to collect.

• A divine son tried to evade paying Ning Chuan, but transferred one billion Star Yuan after Ning Chuan’s pressure forced him to comply.
• Qin Ya asked why so many descended geniuses had not paid, and Ning Chuan said most were near the God-Slaying Tower because they trusted Yin Xusi to resist him.
• Descended geniuses gathered by the God-Slaying Tower complained about the fee and believed Yin Xusi would make Ning Chuan back down.
• Yin Xusi spoke with Qing Meng about promoting Jiang Luoshui’s livestreaming business, but Qing Meng declined to accept his proposal on her lady’s behalf.
• After Ning Chuan arrived, Yin Xusi said the Divine Kingdom had ordered him to kill Ning Chuan and commanded the Divine Guardian Guard to attack.

Ning Chuan fought Yin Xusi and the Divine Guardian Guard, who trapped him inside the King-Slaying Decree to weaken his laws. Though Yin Xusi expected the decree and the guards’ forbidden technique to ensure victory, Ning Chuan endured their combined attack with barely a scratch.

• Ning Chuan joined the battle against Yin Xusi and the Divine Guardian Guard, wounded Yin Xusi, and drove him into a crater with a powerful halberd strike.
• Yin Xusi ordered the twelve Divine Guardian Guard members to activate the King-Slaying Decree, which greatly weakened Ning Chuan’s laws.

Ning Chuan defeated Yin Xusi and interrogated him while using the Mind-Reading Art to uncover the real purpose behind the Divine Kingdom’s orders. He learned that True God Yin Zhu intended to seize Martial Star, while the campaign to destroy its Divine Art inheritances was meant to prevent future kings from claiming the planet.

• Ning Chuan’s Heaven’s Wrath Divine Treasure struck Yin Xusi down, then bound him in a thunder flood dragon and began breaking through his defensive treasures.

• Ning Chuan sensed that True God Yin Zhu’s primary objective was to seize Martial Star, beyond the temporary rule the Divine Kingdom had sought in previous revival eras.
• Yin Xusi claimed the Divine Arts were to be destroyed to prevent Martial Star’s rise, but Ning Chuan realized the deeper fear was that future kings might seize the planet.

Ning Chuan killed Yin Xusi, then forced the descended geniuses to pay steep entry fees or flee. As he returned to Qin Ya and Ye Qingwu, viewers and experts predicted a bloody reckoning with the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom.

• Ning Chuan failed to activate the pitch-black gravel and decided to seek advice from Horse Road Mountain or Jiang Luoshui later.
• Ning Chuan rejected a genius's claim that Yin Xusi's entry fee should spare his life, then charged descended geniuses three billion Star Yuan if they had not paid before he reached the God-Slaying Tower.

• Viewers and Upper Three Realms experts warned that Yin Xusi's death would bring a bloody battle between Ning Chuan and the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom.

Ning Chuan failed to break through the God-Slaying Tower’s restrictions and planned to leave the Hidden Slaughter Dao Lineage with Qin Ya and Ye Qingwu.

• Ning Chuan learned that the ape might have high-level access to the tower and decided to leave with Qin Ya and Ye Qingwu while his Realm Bodies guarded the entrance.

Ning Chuan learned from Qing Meng that the pitch-black fragment from Yin Xusi’s spatial ring was a Star Core containing the Chaos Law. After resonating with it using his Ultimate Weapon Mystic Truth, he began receiving a flood of insights into the First-Grade Law.

• Ning Chuan resonated the fragment with his Ultimate Weapon Mystic Truth, causing the Chaos Law’s fluctuations to become clearer.
• As Qing Meng left near the entrance, Ning Chuan was overwhelmed by the insights pouring into his mind about the First-Grade Law.

• The kingdom's ruler, Yin Zhu, was revealed to have issued the summonses himself.

Yin Zhu ordered Nie Yang to mobilize the kingdom’s forces and kill Ning Chuan to recover the Yin Star Star Core fragment, fearing Martial Star’s possible revival. At the desert cave, Ning Chuan tested the Myriad Laws Non-Invasion Art against its invisible attacks, then resonated with the Piercing Law and sensed he could open something.
