Chapter Summaries

Ning Chuan prepared to kill Hong Bo, but Yin Zhu intervened with an attack that Martial Star’s defense shattered. Yin Zhu then invoked a powerful method that drew the planet’s patterns around him, and Ning Chuan realized it was not an attack.

• Ning Chuan sent a sword of lightning toward Hong Bo, intending to capture him and use the Mind-Reading Art to uncover his secrets.
• Martial Star’s defense mechanism intercepted Yin Zhu’s blazing attack, weakening it enough for Hong Bo to evade the lightning sword.
• Hong Bo called out to his ancestor as Yin Zhu appeared and declared that Ning Chuan would die.
• Ning Chuan defied Yin Zhu and challenged him, even while pinned beneath the Supreme Heavenly Gate.
• Yin Zhu triggered a response from Martial Star’s defense, and its patterns engulfed him while one stray wisp wounded Nie Yang.
• Ning Chuan observed Yin Zhu enduring the patterns and realized that what he had unleashed was not an attack.

His Highness Hong Bo activated a fragment of Yin Star’s Star Core, sacrificing his lifespan and cultivation prospects to unleash a force that warped space and time around Ning Chuan. Ning Chuan’s attacks failed against the ancient Great Dao of Space-Time, leaving him trapped as Hong Bo expected him to die.

• Yin Zhu’s divine might entered His Highness Hong Bo, causing him to burn his life and soul substance to activate the Star Core fragment.
• Ning Chuan hurled away his spatial ring, which exploded; the fragment of Yin Star’s Star Core remained suspended and connected to both men.
• The fragment triggered the Martial Star’s defenses against His Highness Hong Bo while its aura warped space and time around Ning Chuan, causing his Great Wall of Thunder to collapse.
• His Highness Hong Bo realized that activating the fragment had ruined his cultivation path, but he believed Ning Chuan would die first.
• Ning Chuan tried his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye and Heaven’s Wrath against the chaotic space-time, but both attacks were annihilated before they could take shape.
• His Highness Hong Bo mocked Ning Chuan, declaring that only Immortals had been worthy of facing the ancient Great Dao of Space-Time.

Ning Chuan discovered that the Myriad Laws Non-Invasion Art could gradually dissolve the chaotic space-time and began forcing a passage toward His Highness Hong Bo. The Martial Extermination Army’s combined assault barely injured him, and his wounds healed before their second wave of attacks arrived.

• His Highness Hong Bo ordered the remaining five thousand members of the Martial Extermination Army to surround and kill Ning Chuan while keeping a hundred zhang away.
• Ning Chuan determined that the chaotic space-time targeted him and found that his Myriad Laws Non-Invasion Art could dissolve it, though slowly.
• Ning Chuan focused the art into a passage through the distortion, aiming to attack His Highness Hong Bo as the Martial Extermination Army’s attacks closed in.
• The five thousand attackers struck Ning Chuan, but they left him with only moderate wounds and no broken bones.
• His Highness Hong Bo ordered another assault, but Ning Chuan healed completely before the second wave had traveled halfway to him.

Ning Chuan repeatedly healed through the Martial Extermination Army’s attacks while building a way out of the chaotic space-time, revealing the power of his Longevity Divine Treasure. Yin Zhu extended His Highness Hong Bo’s lifespan to keep the battle going, and Hong Bo challenged Ning Chuan to outlast him before Ning Chuan calmly asked how long he could hold out.

• Ning Chuan healed almost instantly after each of the Martial Extermination Army’s attacks, leaving the army unable to wear him down as he worked to escape the chaotic space-time.
• His Highness Hong Bo ordered the Martial Extermination Army to keep attacking and hoped to drain Ning Chuan’s energy until the Supreme Heavenly Gate could kill him.

• Yin Zhu sent divine power to extend His Highness Hong Bo’s lifespan, worsening his own grievous wounds as he tried to prolong the battle.
• His Highness Hong Bo declared that he would outlast Ning Chuan with Yin Zhu’s help, but Ning Chuan calmly asked how long he could hold out.

Ning Chuan killed His Highness Hong Bo with a clone, ending the chaotic space-time and freeing himself from its confinement. He seized the Supreme Heavenly Gate and Yin Star’s Star Core fragment, then repelled Yin Zhu’s attempt to take them and reached the Upper Three Realms in combat power.

• Ning Chuan’s clone ambushed and killed His Highness Hong Bo with a sword beam.
• With Hong Bo dead, the chaotic space-time collapsed, and Ning Chuan’s lightning bird shattered the five thousand attacks aimed at him.

• Yin Zhu tried to seize both treasures, but Ning Chuan unleashed the full power of his perfected Heaven’s Wrath Divine Treasure against him.
• Ning Chuan broke through an invisible shackle and entered the Upper Three Realms in combat power.

Ning Chuan’s Heaven’s Wrath Divine Treasure reached power on par with the Nebula Realm, allowing him to suppress Yin Zhu and block the Martial Extermination Army’s retreat. With the army trapped and demanding permission to surrender, Yin Zhu faced the choice of yielding to Ning Chuan or risking their destruction.

• Ning Chuan’s lightning shattered Yin Zhu’s vast radiance, and viewers across the Universe were stunned that an eighteen-year-old had reached Nebula Realm-level combat power.

• Yin Zhu ordered the Martial Extermination Army to retreat to the Divine Kingdom and then commanded them to break through Ning Chuan’s clone, accepting heavy losses.
• Ning Chuan revealed nine more avatars, sealing the army’s escape routes and demanding that its five thousand members surrender or die.
• The trapped Martial Extermination Army looked to Yin Zhu for permission to surrender, while Yin Zhu stared at Ning Chuan with killing intent, furious at the prospect of yielding to someone so young.

Ning Chuan destroyed Yin Zhu’s attack and began negotiating a ransom for the captured Martial Extermination Army while Ye Yuexue arrived from the Universe First Cultivator Bank. After discovering that his livestream earnings were enormous, Ning Chuan raised his demand, and Yin Zhu agreed to pay.

• Ning Chuan shattered Yin Zhu’s radiance and told him he could abandon the captured forces or seek payment from their factions.

• Yin Zhu asked what Ning Chuan wanted, and Ning Chuan demanded an astronomical sum that stunned the captives and the livestream audience.

Ning Chuan demanded payment from Yin Zhu for the Martial Extermination Army’s descent, then added personal compensation and a ransom before he would release the survivors. Yin Zhu, furious but still negotiating, asked Ning Chuan to state the full amount.

• Yin Zhu agreed to pay Ning Chuan’s quoted price, and Ye Yuexue arranged for the money to be transferred in the Universe First Cultivator Bank’s official currency.
• After Nie Yang completed the transfer, Ning Chuan refused to release the Martial Extermination Army and explained that the first payment covered only their descent tax.
• Ning Chuan demanded additional personal compensation for the treasures Yin Zhu had destroyed and a ransom for the surviving soldiers.
• Ning Chuan justified his demands by citing Martial Star’s advance tax law, the damage caused by the army, and his personal losses.
• Yin Zhu remained to negotiate and demanded that Ning Chuan state the full amount.

Ning Chuan demanded personal compensation from Yin Zhu, ultimately asking for an Immortal Dao Art based on the Great Dao of Space-Time in exchange for returning the Martial Extermination Army. Yin Zhu considered the request as viewers debated why Ning Chuan wanted such a rare art.

• Ning Chuan demanded money equal to the Martial Extermination Army’s taxes and fees for his lost possessions, and Nie Yang challenged the value of his claim.
• Ning Chuan said the destroyed Spirits of Law Comprehension had come from Nie Shanyi and Nie Xingbei, whom he had killed, and Nie Yang denied ordering their descent.
• Yin Zhu accepted Ning Chuan’s personal compensation claim and asked what ransom he wanted for the Martial Extermination Army.
• Ning Chuan demanded an Immortal Dao Art based on the Great Dao of Space-Time, hoping to obtain one from Yin Zhu while concealing his eagerness.
• Viewers and experts discussed Immortal Dao Arts and Ning Chuan’s reasons for wanting one as Yin Zhu prepared to answer.

Yin Zhu gave Ning Chuan the Eternal Heavenly Art, the strongest Dao art of the Great Dao of Space-Time, intending to harm him with its cultivation risks. Ning Chuan received the inheritance and discovered that its first section began at the Spring Realm, while his system immediately began issuing notifications.

• Yin Zhu forged a single-use Martial Seal and inscribed the Eternal Heavenly Art onto it for Ning Chuan.
• Ye Yuexue explained that the Eternal Heavenly Art was the culmination of the Great Dao of Space-Time and warned that it was exceptionally difficult and dangerous to cultivate.
• Yin Zhu admitted that he hoped the inheritance would damage Ning Chuan, while Ning Chuan decided to cultivate it despite the risks.
• Ning Chuan checked the Martial Seal with his ocular Divine Treasures, then received the Eternal Heavenly Art inheritance.
• Ning Chuan learned that the art had three sections and that its first section contained nine stages beginning at the Spring Realm, before his system's notifications sounded.

Ning Chuan advanced his Eternal Heavenly Art by absorbing insights into several laws, then collected passage taxes from the departing Martial Extermination Army. Ye Yuexue offered to take him as a personal disciple and make him the Universe First Cultivator Bank’s divine son, leaving Ning Chuan asking what it meant to sever his karma with Martial Star and Yin Star.

• Ning Chuan discovered that the Eternal Heavenly Art’s levels absorbed insights into different laws, but even the Chaos and Cause and Measure Laws barely advanced its first level.
• Ning Chuan let the Martial Extermination Army leave, then stopped them and charged passage taxes according to their flight routes.
• The Martial Extermination Army paid Ning Chuan’s fees and fled, while Nie Yang withdrew and Yin Zhu stayed to learn why Ye Yuexue had come.
• Ye Yuexue offered to take Ning Chuan as his personal disciple and make him the current divine son of the Universe First Cultivator Bank.
• Yin Zhu objected that the offer could draw the bank into the conflict, but Ye Yuexue said an Immortal would sever Ning Chuan’s karma with Martial Star and Yin Star.
• Ning Chuan asked Ye Yuexue what severing karma meant.

Ning Chuan rejected Ye Yuexue’s invitation to join the Universe First Cultivator Bank and sever his karma with Martial Star, choosing to remain for the people he cared about and the opportunities Martial Star might hold. Ye Yuexue gave him three years to reconsider and left him an Ancient Heaven Stone, while viewers praised Ning Chuan’s righteousness.

• Ye Yuexue explained that severing karma would erase Ning Chuan’s attachments to Martial Star and Yin Star, then invited him to join the Universe First Cultivator Bank.
• Ning Chuan refused the invitation, saying he had carefully considered his choice and did not want to abandon Martial Star or the people connected to it.
• Ye Yuexue offered Ning Chuan three years to reconsider and warned him that Martial Star and Yin Star were both extraordinary.

• Viewers believed Ning Chuan had stayed out of righteousness, and his gift income surged again.

After defeating Yin Zhu’s forces, Ning Chuan thanked viewers during his first livestream and reflected on the danger of the battle and his future cultivation. He concluded that Martial Star’s defenses and his own techniques would protect him from stronger foes, then examined the Ancient Heaven Stone and Yin Star fragment he had obtained.

• Ning Chuan took over the livestream on his way back to the Federation, thanked the audience, and encouraged viewers to visit Martial Star and the Ancient Pilgrimage Path.
• Viewers discussed whether an eccentric witch, the sole disciple of a super fiend, should attempt the journey, while Ning Chuan ended the livestream near military headquarters.

• Ning Chuan compared his strength with the Nebula Realm chiefs of Horse Road Mountain and concluded that even stronger opponents would struggle to kill him.
• Ning Chuan took out the Ancient Heaven Stone Ye Yuexue had given him and the Star Core fragment from Yin Star.

Ning Chuan used the Ancient Heaven Stone to accelerate his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye and discovered that his Divine Treasures could share insights, but he could not activate the Star Core fragment's Space-Time intent. Qing Meng visited him at military headquarters and discussed his overwhelming strength and reputation as the strongest below the Nebula Realm.

• Ning Chuan sent the Ancient Heaven Stone into his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye Divine Treasure, accelerating its cultivation and prompting the Insight Divine Eye to absorb its insights.
• Ning Chuan tried using a Third-Grade Time Law and the Chaos Law to activate the Star Core fragment, but neither worked, so he decided to ask the Universe Broadcasting Group about other methods.
• Ning Chuan noticed Qing Meng flying to the military headquarters and arranged for her to meet him in a reception room.
• Qing Meng admitted she was nervous around Ning Chuan, and he teased her about owing a hundredfold descent tax.
• Qing Meng told Ning Chuan that the outside world considered him unbeatable below the Nebula Realm, and they agreed that beings above that realm could not come to Martial Star.

Ning Chuan learned that his livestream had earned him access to valuable cultivation resources and discussed how to obtain a Chaos Law comprehension spirit. Jiang Luoshui offered him her opportunity to receive an Immortal’s personal guidance, and Ning Chuan accepted, eager to witness a complete Great Dao.

• Jiang Luoshui told Ning Chuan he could receive roughly ten to twenty Spirits of Law Comprehension for First-Grade Laws as the reward for his livestream.
• Ning Chuan asked whether he could exchange the rewards for a Chaos Law spirit, and Jiang Luoshui explained that his ranking on the Three Thousand Heavenly Geniuses Ranking might give him a chance to obtain one through the Universe First Cultivator Bank.
• Jiang Luoshui said Ning Chuan was guaranteed to rank at least eleventh in the universe, while the bank was assessing whether he could survive long enough to rise.
• Jiang Luoshui offered Ning Chuan her opportunity to receive personal guidance from an Immortal, explaining that the Immortal had survived the world-ending battle and might answer his questions about it.
• Ning Chuan thanked Jiang Luoshui and accepted the opportunity to experience the Immortal’s Great Dao.

As Jiang Luoshui warned that Yin Zhu’s next move could be far more dangerous, Ning Chuan considered the possibility of drawing Immortals to Martial Star but chose to grow stronger before taking that risk.

• Jiang Luoshui told Ning Chuan that Immortal Huang Wu could come to Martial Star to guide him in about ten days to half a month, and Ning Chuan agreed to wait without delaying until his Wuji Law reached perfection.
• Ning Chuan ordered three Spirits of Law Comprehension, resources for several Divine Treasures, and four King-Bestowing martial arts; Jiang Luoshui arranged delivery of the available items and said the rest would take longer.
• Jiang Luoshui advised Ning Chuan to use his livestreams to attract regular viewers by exploring Martial Star’s Dao lineages and arranging staged dangers, and Ning Chuan accepted the plan.

• Jiang Luoshui warned that Yin Zhu could use methods more dangerous than the Martial Extermination Army and promised to gather intelligence, while Ning Chuan resolved not to underestimate him as his own strength continued to rise.

Ning Chuan used the Eternal Heavenly Art to activate a fragment of Yin Star’s Star Core and draw out the artistic conception of the Great Dao of Space-Time. He instantly comprehended thirty-four First-Grade Laws, which merged and opened the Great Dao of Space-Time, leaving him stunned.

• Jiang Luoshui explained that powers capable of changing time could make the Star Core fragment reveal the artistic conception of the Great Dao of Space-Time.
• After Jiang Luoshui and Qing Meng left, Ning Chuan channeled the Eternal Heavenly Art into the fragment and awakened a faint artistic conception.
• Ning Chuan’s Eternal Heavenly Art began comprehending thirty-six First-Grade Laws, including the Time, Dimension, and Space Laws.
• The new Laws advanced beyond the Spring Realm and rapidly formed Law Hearts in Ning Chuan’s Force Sea.
• Thirty-six First-Grade Laws merged and opened the Great Dao of Space-Time, leaving Ning Chuan struggling to stay composed.

Ning Chuan discovered that his thirty-six perfected First-Grade Laws had granted him the Great Dao of Space-Time ahead of time and transformed his Force into divine power. He tested his new power by withstanding his own Heaven's Wrath, then severed the lightning's connection to the Divine Treasure by reversing space-time.

• Ning Chuan found that his thirty-six Hearts of Law had remained separate while forming a whole, opening the Great Dao of Space-Time and transforming his Force Sea.
• Ning Chuan realized his transformed Force could nourish and strengthen his body and soul, and that his lifespan had exceeded ten billion years.
• Ning Chuan checked his system panel and saw all thirty-six First-Grade Laws and the Great Dao of Space-Time at Great River Realm Perfection, while the first three realms of the Eternal Heavenly Art remained just short of absolute Perfection.

Ning Chuan discovered that the Star Core fragment could create a temporary space-time seal that isolated him from the Universe's origin but allowed his martial arts to keep cultivating. The seal would last one real-world night, giving him about a hundred days of cultivation before it faded.

• Ning Chuan realized the Star Core fragment contained too little Great Dao intent to advance his Great Dao of Space-Time beyond Great River Realm Perfection and concluded that he would need more fragments.
• Ning Chuan resonated with the Star Core fragment and released a power that accelerated time around him while cutting off the Universe's origin.
• Ning Chuan found that the seal suppressed his normal cultivation, but his martial arts continued to cultivate automatically at their usual pace.
• Ning Chuan realized that one night in the real world would give him around a hundred days to cultivate and considered the likely progress of his Divine Treasures and Great Dao of Space-Time.

Ning Chuan spent one hundred and one days in accelerated secluded cultivation, steadily advancing his Laws, Divine Treasures, and Great Dao of Space-Time while considering how to obtain other Dao Arts. He emerged at dawn with the Great Dao of Space-Time advanced to the middle stage of the Sea Realm.

• Ning Chuan meditated in the time-space and advanced his Mountain Realm Law to the Sea Realm, then raised his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye to the second level.
