Rather than kill it at once, Zhang Junbao let Hong, Thunder God, and Luo Feng prepare to test themselves against it, while the surrounded beast fought back against the unexpected opposition.

The gestation began successfully, and the chapter ended with Luo Feng challenging Thunder God to a spar while the others watched.

• Luo Feng rejected Babata’s warning that using the first clone slot on his low-gene-grade original body would waste it, and Thunder God asked whether Luo Feng could gestate another Golden Horned Beast; Luo Feng said earlier attempts had failed.

• A crew member recognized the Milky Way as a hidden region once occupied by a fallen expert and suggested that the expert’s inheritance could now be claimed.

Luo Feng stayed on Earth to gestate an Earthling Clone while Zhang Junbao, Hong, and Thunder God went to Qiu Long Star to claim Hu Yanbo’s inheritance and arrange Earth’s purchase.

As Zhang Junbao departed, Luo Feng urged him to consider Xu Yan’s feelings, leaving him to promise an answer when he returned.

After surviving a swarm of Biduoli Mosquitoes, they continued searching for the Universe Level Illusion Demon Tree, which Babata warned could fill the realm with a maze blending reality and illusion.

• Zhang Junbao, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God found that the Lost Secret Realm’s 12,000-times-Earth gravity and unusual fog severely restricted their movement and detection.

After finding the tree’s direction through Moyun, Zhang Junbao killed a controlled genius and prepared to face the 1,321 attackers closing in on him.

• Rekton left after secretly sending a strike into the secret realm, destabilizing space and unleashing a spatial storm.
• Zhang Junbao used his domain to move with the storm, Luo Feng hid underground as the Golden Horned Beast, and Hong took Thunder God inside the Illusion Demon Tree for shelter.

Zhang Junbao survived the space storm and gained a deeper understanding of the Space-Time Law, but the storm merged the Lost Secret Realm with an unknown ancient battlefield. Stranded with no clear way back, he set out to find the Illusion Demon Tree as a shattered will began to awaken elsewhere.

• A space storm swept through the Lost Secret Realm, and Zhang Junbao used it to deepen his comprehension of the Space-Time Law and the Law of Light.
• When the storm stopped, Zhang Junbao discovered that the Lost Secret Realm had merged with an ancient battlefield, leaving the original exit and the fates of Hong and Thunder God uncertain.
