Li Feibai, newly ascended through the martial dao system, arrived at the Heavenly River Dao Field to attend the Association of Transcendents and Professionals. As he explained his system’s abilities to Perfected Heavenly River and the disciples, the Avatar began to sense something was amiss.

• The Avatar sensed a transcendental presence at the Formation Domain’s edge and left the meeting with his three disciples to investigate.

• At the Avatar’s request, Li Feibai described the martial dao system and its Heavenly Human Dharma Sword True Yuan and True Martial Body abilities.
• As Li Feibai explained those abilities, the Avatar grew increasingly suspicious that something was amiss.

Li Feibai learned that his Martial Dao breakthrough gave him a lifespan of only about 400 years, then joined the Association meeting to establish the Martial Dao System’s place and needs. He was appointed director of the Martial Dao General Bureau, and the chapter ended with him visiting the Heavenly River Dao Field and marveling at its resources.

• Perfected Heavenly River warned Li Feibai that Martial Dao transcendents might have shorter lifespans, and Li Feibai confirmed he would live around 400 years.

• Li Feibai visited the Heavenly River Dao Field, where he saw abundant spiritual resources and the transcendent [Heaven-Pillaring Ring-Cupped Oak].

The Avatar explained why Li Feibai’s martial Dao was incomplete and taught him a method to repair it, while revealing that humanity faced a trial before future encounters with advanced civilizations. After Li Feibai departed, the transcendent lineages united and began reshaping society, though Li Xiping’s breakthrough remained flawed.

• The Avatar told Li Feibai that his martial Dao lacked a greater-universe foundation, weakening his transcendence and shortening his lifespan.
• Li Feibai vowed to advance humanity’s transcendent path, and the Avatar taught him how to nurture and unite a transcendent-grade Dharma sword to repair his Dao foundation.

• The Association of Transcendents and Professionals established universities, while Chen Tianping and Li Feibai led forces in clearing super ferocious beasts and the cultivators built formations that raised energy levels across much of Hua Country.
• Li Xiping became a Martial Dao Heavenly Human, but Li Feibai left him in deep seclusion and he broke through using the old method.

Wang An completed the [Heavenly Fire] Dao foundation, which connected him to the moon and revealed sights across Blue Star and beyond. Meanwhile, Li Xiping proposed a new martial dao realm called True Intent, while Li Feibai chose to focus on remedying martial dao’s shortcomings.

• Nuclear fusion and starch synthesis advanced, helping Hua Country usher the world into an extraordinary age of widespread cultivation.
• Wang An began building the [Heavenly Fire] foundation atop Heavenly River Peak, drawing in celestial imagery and refining four strands of mystic qi with a great yin fire crystal.
• Li Xiping told Li Feibai he envisioned True Intent as a realm beyond true essence that could bear extraordinary laws and change heaven and earth.
• Li Feibai declined to pursue True Intent with Li Xiping, saying he had to remedy martial dao’s shortcomings and open the road for future successors.
• Wang An completed the [Heavenly Fire] foundation, merged it into his dantian, and gained a vast view of moonlit places across Blue Star and around the moon.
• An enormous black shadow entered Wang An’s vision.

After advancing to Initial Transcendent Stage Level 3, Wang An discovered a concealed transcendent star beast approaching Blue Star and ordered preparations for its arrival. He left his disciples and allies to protect the sanctuary and its people while he prepared to confront the creature himself.

• Wang An spotted a massive, undetectable transcendent star beast through Heavenly Fire and withdrew his viewpoint when it turned toward the moon.
• Wang An refined spiritual primordial crystals, filled his dantian with stronger mana, and demonstrated its immense pressure to the watching disciples and transcendents.
• Wang An told Lu Tianxin, Chen Tianping, and the others that the approaching star beast was above Initial Stage Level 3 and that he could not rely on outside help.
• Wang An ordered Chen Tianping to warn Li Feibai, Li Xiping, and the authorities, while Lu Tianxin and Tianli organized the sanctuary's linked formations and evacuated its people to safety.
• Li Feibai and Li Xiping alerted the nation's leaders and arranged a response as Wang An's Avatar took up a lightning-wreathed bamboo longsword and nourished it with mana.

Wang An prepared to cultivate toward the Purple Mansion while Hua Country confirmed that a massive transcendent star beast was approaching Blue Star. With less than a day before its arrival, the Crisis Response Group ordered a nationwide evacuation into underground shelters.

• Wang An returned to his blessed land to contemplate advancing to the Purple Mansion and judged that his nearly immortal Avatar gave him a chance to face the transcendent star beast.
• A Hua Country observer reported that satellites had detected a dark, living object at least 50 km in size heading toward Blue Star, with arrival expected in less than a day.
• Li Feibai argued that a direct impact was unlikely but urged preparations for the aftermath of Perfected Heavenly River's fight and the evacuation of the public.
• Officials assured the Crisis Response Group that emergency supplies and underground shelters could support the population, citing prior drills and existing facilities.
• The group head ordered level 1 mobilization and the immediate evacuation of the population underground, while directing officials to notify other countries and shelter citizens abroad where possible.

Hua Country issued a level 1 mobilization order as a Transcendent star beast approached Blue Star, and citizens and officials rushed to prepare for impact. As other nations abandoned or selectively evacuated their populations, Hua Country completed its evacuation and relied on vast formations and Wang An’s Star-Slaying Thunder Punishment Dharma Sword for defense.

• Hua Country ordered a nationwide evacuation into underground civil defense shelters, and Mo Yuemei led her parents to safety while Wang An sent his parents to a protected villa beneath the Anping Mining Area.

• Disciples returned to the Heavenly River Dao Field to maintain linked grand formations across Hua Country, while Wang An’s Star-Slaying Thunder Punishment Dharma Sword gained new Law Runes through the Heavenly Blessing Lamp.

Savage and the Bronze Human Race monitors investigated a transcendent star beast approaching Blue Star, tracing its long sleep to a magma lake beneath Venus and discovering a powerful formation around the Avatar. Their mid-level detection still could not reveal the beast, and Savage suspected it was stronger than an early-level lifeform.

• A monitor reported that Hua Country had announced a transcendent star beast was approaching the primitive planet, prompting Savage to order an expanded search.
• The Bronze palace traced the beast's previous hiding place to a dried-up magma lake beneath Venus, where it had slept for at least ten thousand years before consuming the lake's energy and departing for Blue Star.
• The monitors detected a vast domain-suppressing formation on a Central Asian plateau, which blocked their probes from examining what lay inside.
• Savage activated mid-level observation and saw the Avatar waiting in the sky, while other observers criticized his rapid advancement and discussed recruiting him into the Bronze Human Race's system.
• Savage focused on the approaching star beast, but the mid-level detector still registered no response from it.

A massive transcendent star beast descended on Blue Star, and the Avatar used the Tibetan Plateau’s defensive Formation Domain to withstand its impact. As the beast revealed itself, Shaweiqi concluded it may have fallen from the intermediate stage and learned that His Majesty Shaluo'er would handle it personally.

• Shaweiqi sent his adjutant with a sacrificial artifact toward Blue Star and applied for permission to intervene.
• The transcendent star beast plunged toward the Tibetan Plateau, disrupting Blue Star’s communications and unleashing global storms and shock waves.
• The Avatar and five transcendent beings activated the defensive Formation Domain as the beast struck it.

• The Transcendent Council told Shaweiqi that His Majesty Shaluo'er, the Eternal Golden Dragon King, would come to handle the beast.

The Avatar fought the transcendent star beast while Shaluo'er discovered its rare [Dark Star] talent and ordered that it serve as the Black Iron Human Race’s final trial. The Avatar’s attacks weakened the beast, but after the Yueyin Spirit-Slaying Blade passed through its head, the beast’s fate remained uncertain as red lines spread across its skin.

• Shaluo'er arrived in the bronze hall, recognized the star beast’s [Dark Star] talent, and told Savage to let it serve as the Black Iron Human Race’s final trial.
• Shaluo'er marked the star beast with his Golden Dragon Magic seal, then went to investigate deep within Venus.
• The Avatar insulted the star beast and wounded its claw with the [Star-Slaying Thunder Punishment Dharma Sword].
• The star beast fired a high-energy breath that burned through the Formation Domain’s defenses, but the Avatar supported the formation with the [Pillars and Beams Bear Heaven Staff].
• The Avatar slowed and weakened the star beast with cold water, vitality-draining magic, and turbid qi before striking its head with the [Yueyin Spirit-Slaying Blade].
• The moon blade passed through the star beast, and red lines rapidly spread across its skin as everyone thought it was dying.

The Avatar destroyed the extraordinary star beast, whose remains formed the Beast Claw Mountain Range and a first-tier high-grade Spirit Origin Crystal vein. As he and his disciples explored the new resource site, the Avatar discovered that fragments of the star beast’s spirit could possess local beasts.

• The Avatar used the grand formation to launch the star beast into the sky, where it exploded and scattered fragments across Blue Star.
• A large fragment became the Beast Claw Mountain Range, and its energy liquid transformed into a first-tier Spirit Origin Crystal vein.
• The Avatar and his three disciples explored the mountain range, found a natural lightning formation, and received a formation method from the Avatar to develop it into a resource site.
• The Avatar layered restrictions around the vein and began nurturing it to increase its grade and scale.
• The Avatar found spiritual fragments inside mutated spirit beasts and watched one form a spiritual core that took over a spirit deer.

The Avatar and her disciples hunted demonic beasts born from the star beast’s scattered fragments and recovered much of its remains while Blue Star struggled to rebuild. As advanced-life professionals gained influence and society changed, a vulture discovered and devoured a star-beast fragment in Africa.

• The Avatar killed a newly awakened spirit deer, then joined Lu Tianxin as she restrained a black bear demonic beast; Ye Tianxing killed it, and the Avatar sealed its demonic power before it could dissolve into the Dao.
• The Avatar warned her disciples that the star beast had scattered its body across Blue Star and could not be tracked, prompting them to urge governments and other transcendents to organize an extermination.
• After catastrophic impacts killed billions, the Avatar and her disciples swept fragment impact zones across eleven countries, recovered large pieces, and established spirit essence crystal veins.
• The Avatar dragged a three-kilometer star-beast fragment back to the Tibetan Plateau, discouraging foreign governments from obstructing the recovery effort as advanced-life professionals gained power during reconstruction.
• Seven or eight days later, the group had collected nearly four-fifths of the star beast’s body and established three first-tier high-grade and five first-tier mid-grade spirit essence crystal veins.
• In a sealed zone on the African savanna, a vulture investigated a crater, found a small star-beast fragment, and devoured it.

A star beast revived on Blue Star and began hunting powerful lifeforms while Shaweiqi and Shaluo'er investigated its capabilities and origins. As high-level professionals continued disappearing, the Avatar considered the beast’s likely purpose while preparing to advance to the Purple Mansion.

• The star beast vulture consumed a crystallized energy chunk, transformed into a first-order elementary transcendent lifeform, and then concealed its aura and shrank back to ordinary size.
• The vulture flew to the capital, killed a level-seven commander in his office, consumed him, and silently escaped.
• Shaweiqi monitored Blue Star and had Green Goat Venerable rate the Heavenly Talisman Dao Foundation Cultivator system at 2.5 stars.
• Shaluo'er used the Corridor of Time to discover that the star beast had escaped Venus through a spatial rift nearly ten thousand years ago, then marked the weakened space with a golden seal.
• Chen Tianping reported that high-level professionals were still vanishing despite the extermination campaign, and the Avatar considered the revived star beast’s intelligence and abilities while preparing his Purple Mansion advancement.

The Avatar suspected the wounded star beast was hunting advanced professionals to restore its core law, so he prepared defenses while continuing preparations to build his Purple Mansion. The chapter ended with him trying to cultivate a first-order water-element spiritual object from silver dew.

• The Avatar explained to Chen Tianping that the star beast might be devouring transcendent laws to recover its strength, then summoned Chen Tianping’s fellow disciples, Li Feibai, and Li Xiping.
• The Avatar completed five Divine Ability talismans and gave them to the five Transcendents so they could restrain the star beast if it attacked.
• The Avatar assigned Linghua, Lingli, and Xu Wenqiang to coordinate preliminary Formation Domain work throughout Asia with local governments and Transcendent Universities.
• The Avatar focused on building the three Formation Domains needed for his Purple Mansion, but found that the earthly formation still lacked first-order water- and fire-element spiritual objects.
• The Avatar gathered level-ten silver dew at Heavenly River Peak and infused it with Life Spiritual Primordial Qi to strengthen its purity law principles.

The Avatar refined [Vitality Spirit Dew], developed new high-grade spells, and expanded the Heavenly River Dao Field’s Formation Domain while a star beast continued attacking the outside world. In London, Lu Tianxin demonstrated her spell mastery as Archwizard Merlin prepared to attempt transcendence and asked for protection.

• After earlier attempts to stabilize [Silver Dew] failed, the Avatar combined awakened spirituality with the principle of flourishing life and refined a drop of [Vitality Spirit Dew].
• The Avatar used the spirit water to nourish the [Heaven-Pillaring Ring-Cupped Oak] and the [Rootless Jellyfish Snow Rabbit], then grasped [Spirit Dew Growth Stimulation], [Yin-Bright Radiance], and [Radiant Heavenly Eye].
• The Avatar used [Radiant Heavenly Eye] and [Yin-Bright Radiance] to survey the Heavenly River Dao Field while Linghua, Lingli, and Xu Wenqiang organized disciples and stewards to establish the Formation Domain.
• After ten days, the star beast was still devouring high-level lifeforms across several regions, and the group prepared ambushes near powerful nations.
• In London, Lu Tianxin demonstrated a subtle water spell that turned granite to powder, impressing Daoist Jingling and Wizard Merlin.
• Merlin told Lu Tianxin and Daoist Jingling that he had completed the first-circle wizard path and would attempt transcendence, asking them to protect him if he failed.

Wizard Merlin advanced into a transcendent life form by forging a fire spell model and artifact, but a star beast vulture attacked during his breakthrough. Lu Tianxin subdued the beast with a Divine Ability, yet it appeared to recover just as Merlin left the Formation Domain.

• Lu Tianxin and Jingling discussed the wizard system and judged it inferior to Wang An’s system because it did not cultivate essence, qi, and spirit together.
• Wizard Merlin completed his first-circle [Fire--Energy] spell model, bonded it with his staff artifact, and became a transcendent life form.
• The star beast vulture attacked Merlin’s cultivation chamber, disrupting his advancement as Lu Tianxin alerted allies and counterattacked with her sword.
• Wang An sensed Merlin’s advancement and sent his Avatar toward Lu Tianxin aboard the [Sky-Cleaving Thunder Boat].
• Lu Tianxin used a Divine Ability talisman to freeze the vulture’s thoughts and slow its energy, and she and Merlin believed they had captured it.
• As Merlin stepped outside the Formation Domain, the vulture’s eyes moved and it fired a blast of high-energy breath at him.
