Chapter Summaries

Chen Feng learned about the Xingfeng Sect’s new Star-Annihilating Cannon and its early warp-drive research before returning to Canglan Star after twenty-two years away. He discovered the sect was fighting the Yin Corpse Sect and an allied faction, then left to address the crisis.

• Chen Feng agreed to fund antimatter for the Star-Annihilating Cannon and learned Tuosen and Lin Wei were exploring a warp drive using the spatial passage to the Haotian Secret Realm as a research lead.
• Chen Feng returned to Canglan Star and sensed that the Xingfeng Sect was on high alert, with Liu Qian, Wang Hu, and other senior members absent.
• At the nuclear factory, Yue Yao and Nangong Yanyue greeted Chen Feng, and he asked what had happened to the sect.
• Yue Yao explained that Canglan Star had been transported to another star domain two years earlier and had since fought the Yin Corpse Sect near a Starry Sky Vortex.
• Yue Yao reported that a Void Refinement cultivator had inflicted heavy losses, the sect had few antimatter weapons left, and the Yin Corpse Sect had allied with another faction; Chen Feng immediately vanished.

The Xingfeng Sect faced an imminent assault by the Yin Corpse Sect and Thunder Hall when the Crimson Empyrean Sect from the Huo Fan Star Domain offered passage to the Central Star Sea in exchange for the Xingfeng Sect’s antimatter weapon. After Liu Qian refused and the visitors tried to seize it by force, Chen Feng appeared and crushed Hong Xing’er’s head into her chest.

• Liu Qian warned the Xingfeng Sect’s leaders that the Yin Corpse Sect and Thunder Hall were preparing a major attack, possibly with multiple Void Refinement cultivators.

• Yun Qingjue and Jiang Bohan prepared to defend Liu Qian, but Chen Feng appeared behind Hong Xing’er without her noticing.
• Hong Xing’er’s attack broke her hand, and Chen Feng pinned her Spiritual Power and Primordial Spirit before crushing her head into her chest.

The Xingfeng Sect launched a massive nuclear attack on the Ming Province Continent's forces, while Chen Feng intercepted the Void Refinement cultivators Shen Qingyue and Qiu Sanchi. Chen Feng revealed overwhelming strength, killed Qiu Sanchi, and left Shen Qingyue facing him alone.

• Qiu Sanchi ordered the Yin Corpse Sect and its allied forces to assemble and destroy the Xingfeng Sect's fleet.

• Chen Feng's Star Domain killed several Spirit Transformation cultivators, while Shen Qingyue and Qiu Sanchi attacked him together without causing any damage.
• Chen Feng split Qiu Sanchi's body and Primordial Spirit with one slash, then destroyed his head.

Chen Feng tested the Twenty-Four-Star Array against the Yin Corpse Sect and Qiong Leizi, proving their combined attacks could not harm him. He killed Shen Qingyue and the refined corpses, while Ming Province Zi and the surviving cultivators fled.

• Chen Feng stored Qiu Sanchi's Primordial Spirit and challenged Shen Qingyue to attack him again.

• Chen Feng broke free of the coffin's Yin Qi, crushed the four refined corpses, and tore off Shen Qingyue's head before she could escape.
• Qiong Leizi and the two surviving Yin Corpse Sect cultivators fled; Chen Feng's thrown head struck one of them, destroying his body as his Primordial Spirit escaped.

Chen Feng defeated the Yin Corpse Sect’s Void Refinement cultivators, forced Qiong Leizi to surrender his Primordial Spirit Soul, and avoided an immediate conflict with the Sea Fork Race. Half a month later, the Xingfeng Sect had conquered the Ming Province Continent.

• Chen Feng tracked down Ming Province Zi and the other Yin Corpse Sect cultivator, defeated them, and sealed their Primordial Spirits in a Soul Wood box.
• Chen Feng caught up with Qiong Leizi, who offered the Fifth Holy Maiden’s help and promised to conceal Chen Feng’s Star Power; Chen Feng instead took Qiong Leizi’s Primordial Spirit Soul and agreed to return it in a thousand years.

• The Sixth Holy Son learned that seven star domains had arrived and two had broken through the blockade, but chose to wait and see what happened.
• Liu Qian sent another fleet from Canglan Star, and the Xingfeng Sect conquered the Ming Province Continent within half a month.

After conquering the Ming Province Continent, Chen Feng divided rewards and planned the Xingfeng Sect’s next steps while learning more about the Dinghai Star Domain’s dangers. As he looted the captured Void Refinement cultivators, his long-neglected wooden sword reacted to fragments of a Quasi-Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.

• Liu Qian reported that 630 forces had submitted and presented Chen Feng with the spoils from the Ming Province Continent, including nearly a billion Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones.
• Chen Feng offered Yun Qingjue, Nangong Wentian, and the other Canglan Star cultivators a choice between cultivation resources and territory; Nangong Wentian chose territory, while Yun Qingjue and Youluan chose spiritual items.

• Chen Feng tortured six Void Refinement Primordial Spirits until they opened their Mustard Seed Spaces, yielding more than three hundred thousand Yuan Stones, spiritual items, and treasures.
• When Chen Feng picked up fragments of the shattered Quasi-Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, his long-neglected wooden sword began to tremble inside his Storage Ring.

Chen Feng began comprehending the Force Principle while the Xingfeng Sect consolidated its control over Ming Province. When Sea Fork Race envoys arrived to investigate the destroyed Yin Corpse Sect, their confrontation with Qiong Leizi and Jiang Bohan ended with Jiang Bohan’s body destroyed, setting up a likely clash with Chen Feng.

• Chen Feng stored the treasure fragments for the wooden sword to absorb, then began pursuing a breakthrough to Void Refinement by comprehending Principles.
• After examining hundreds of Principles, Chen Feng chose the Force Principle and condensed its first Thread of Principle.
• The Xingfeng Sect pacified Ming Province, established a branch there, and took control of the Yin Corpse Sect’s enterprises and resource veins.
• Two Sea Fork Race cultivators arrived to investigate the Yin Corpse Sect’s destruction, and Qiong Leizi told them the Xingfeng Sect had acted under the Fifth Holy Maiden’s protection.
• The Sea Fork envoys confronted Jiang Bohan, and one attacked him with the Water Principle; Qiong Leizi countered, but the clash destroyed Jiang Bohan’s physical body.

Chen Feng killed two Sea Fork Race Void Refinement envoys after they attacked Jiang Bohan, then asked Qiong Leizi to contact the Fifth Holy Maiden and returned to Earth to collect weapons and visit Lin Wei. He planned to spend a day with Xiaorou before returning to Canglan Star and preparing for seclusion.

• Chen Feng arrived after the Sea Fork Race envoys attacked Jiang Bohan, gave Jiang Bohan a recovery pill, and killed both envoys with his Force Principle.
• Chen Feng stored the envoys’ Primordial Spirits and told Qiong Leizi to contact the Fifth Holy Maiden, offering to pay a price for her help.
• Chen Feng ordered Jiang Bohan to notify Liu Qian that he was returning to Canglan Star, then flew there and went back to Earth to collect the Star-Annihilating Cannon and weapons research data from Tuosen.
• Chen Feng told Lin Wei he would soon enter seclusion, but agreed to stay for a day and have dinner with Xiaorou.
• Lin Wei told Chen Feng that Dragon Country had improved its economy and public welfare with help from the Xingfeng Group, and Chen Feng asked her to give Qiefusi a pill to keep him alive.

Chen Feng returned to Earth and visited Li Xiaorou with Lin Wei before going back to the Painting Scroll World, where he showed Yue Yao a planet-destroying weapon. He left her with the Star-Annihilating Cannon’s plans and instructions to begin producing antimatter, and Yue Yao excitedly prepared to get started.

• Li Xiaorou reviewed orders for martial artist pills and insisted that agents could not dilute the pills or change their prices.
• Lin Wei called Li Xiaorou to tell her that she and Chen Feng were downstairs, and Li Xiaorou hurried to greet Chen Feng.
• Chen Feng, Lin Wei, and Li Xiaorou toured Dragon Country’s cities and sampled local food before Chen Feng left them.
• Chen Feng visited Yue Yao at the nuclear factory, where she showed him a hydrogen bomb she had built and learned it would not defeat a Void Refinement expert.
• Chen Feng showed Yue Yao the Star-Annihilating Cannon, gave her its plans, and instructed her to produce as much antimatter as possible.
• After Chen Feng departed, Yue Yao loudly celebrated the cannon’s ability to destroy a planet.

Cang Yuelan, the Fifth Holy Maiden of the Sea Fork Race, arrived to meet Chen Feng and address his killing of two Sea Fork cultivators. Chen Feng killed her Peak Void Refinement attendant and attacked her, while Qiong Leizi warned that endangering her could summon a Half-Step Dao Integration expert.

• Qiong Leizi met Cang Yuelan and recounted how Chen Feng had killed two Sea Fork cultivators, blaming their deaths on their attack against the Xingfeng Sect.

• Chen Feng arrived and asked whether anyone else had come with Cang Yuelan, then ignored her attendant's accusation.
• Chen Feng killed Cang Yuelan's Peak Void Refinement attendant with one punch and attacked Cang Yuelan's protective treasure.
• Qiong Leizi warned Chen Feng that Cang Yuelan bore a mark that could summon a Half-Step Dao Integration expert if her life was threatened.

Chen Feng captured Cang Yuelan and learned about the Dao Integration experts, the surrounding star domains, and the Sea Fork Race’s internal politics. He agreed to return her Primordial Soul within fifty years in exchange for her help keeping the Sea Fork Race from causing trouble, while Cang Yuelan left still suspicious of his motives.

• Chen Feng broke Cang Yuelan’s protective barrier, captured her, and tortured her until she handed over her Primordial Soul.
• Cang Yuelan told Chen Feng that the Sea Fork Race had two Dao Integration holy lords and explained how such experts and the star sea were organized.

• Chen Feng promised to return Cang Yuelan’s Primordial Soul within fifty years if she helped fend off trouble from the Sea Fork Race, and she agreed to deal with Sixth Brother.
• Cang Yuelan left the Ming Province Continent and wondered what Chen Feng was really planning.

Cang Yuelan defended her actions to the Sea Fork Race’s elders and protected the Xingfeng Sect from Cang Jilan’s scrutiny, while the Star Domain Alliance and the Sea Fork Race fought across the Dinghai Star Domain. Twenty years later, the Xingfeng Sect had grown on the Ming Province Continent, but another Alliance force had broken through the defenses as Chen Feng remained in seclusion.

• Cang Yuelan told the Sea Fork Race’s Fourth Imperial Uncle that Huo Fan Star Domain cultivators had killed Hai Qing, and she admitted killing two of Cang Jilan’s Void Refinement subordinates.
• Cang Jilan learned that the Xingfeng Sect had destroyed the Yin Corpse Sect and likely killed his subordinates, then arranged to recruit support from the Jinting Star Domain and Weiyang Star Domain.
• Over the next twenty years, the Star Domain Alliance and the Sea Fork Race fought major battles, while the Xingfeng Sect expanded its branch on the Ming Province Continent and recruited more than ten thousand cultivators.
• Liu Qian and the branch leaders agreed to sell Cang Yuelan Aerospace Carriers but not nuclear weapons, offering to provide nuclear strikes themselves if needed.
• Liu Qian received word that more than a dozen Star Domain Alliance dharma ships had broken through the defensive line, and Jiang Bohan left to investigate while avoiding a fight unless they threatened the Xingfeng Sect.

After twenty years of seclusion, Chen Feng condensed one hundred Threads of Principle and returned to Earth to undergo Heavenly Punishment and break through to Void Refinement. As he headed into space, the Xingfeng Sect prepared to intercept enemy forces, while the young woman in yellow tasked the giant eyeball with finding a way to draw him into the Immortal Domain Secret Realm; the chapter ended as Taiyi detected a massive psionic fluctuation near a guarded spatial rift.

• Chen Feng emerged from seclusion after condensing one hundred Threads of Principle, then read Liu Qian’s updates about the Xingfeng Sect’s growth and the war in the Dinghai Star Domain.
• Chen Feng returned to Canglan Star and then traveled to Earth, planning to undergo Heavenly Punishment somewhere far from the planet.
• Jiang Bohan led a Xingfeng Sect fleet to intercept allied forces, while the young woman in yellow warned the giant eyeball not to scheme against Chen Feng and ordered it to find a way to get him into the Immortal Domain Secret Realm.
• Chen Feng appeared in Earth’s orbit and took an antimatter warship toward a distant meteorite region to undergo his tribulation.
• Black Bear trained aboard a Carrier guarding a human-made spatial rift until Taiyi sounded an alarm about massive psionic fluctuations at the rift.

Black Bear’s fleet attacked three aliens emerging from a spatial rift, but a more powerful creature later incapacitated the crew before Chen Feng confronted and subdued it. Chen Feng freed the controlled officers and headed with Lin Wei to inspect the now-expanded spatial passage.

• Black Bear ordered the fleet to bombard the spatial rift, killing the three Spirit Transformation-level aliens who emerged from it.
• After a probe found a vast spatial passage and no survivors, a one-eyed alien arrived and used its tentacles to control Black Bear and the fleet crew.
• Chen Feng resisted the alien’s soul attack, restrained it with his Star Domain, and repeatedly destroyed its body until it could no longer regenerate.
• Chen Feng brought the alien’s living mass of flesh aboard a Carrier for the researchers to study, while Lin Wei warned him that Black Bear and the others were affected.
• Chen Feng freed the crew’s controlled Divine Souls, gave them recovery pills, and went with Lin Wei to inspect the spatial passage.

Chen Feng failed to destroy the Mara Clan’s spatial passage and stayed to guard it while preparing to break through Void Refinement. As the Mara Clan sent Suosi and Ta’er to investigate, Chen Feng began enduring Heavenly Punishment, which started transforming his Primordial Spirit.

• Chen Feng damaged the spatial passage with repeated attacks, but its power of space restored it each time, so he sat down to guard the exit.
• In the Mara Clan’s hall, the Great Sage sent Suosi and Ta’er through the passage with a Space Origin to investigate the missing explorers.
• After seven days of preparation, Chen Feng saw red Heavenly Punishment gather above him in the Solar System.
• Red lightning struck Chen Feng without injuring him, and its strange power activated the Principles within his Primordial Spirit.
• Earth’s governments tried to investigate the lightning with electromagnetic waves, but Black Bear’s fleet jammed their probes.

After breaking through to Void Refinement, Chen Feng encountered Suosi and Ta'er of the Mara Clan and easily subdued them. Suosi explained the Mara Clan’s origins and power, including its sacred tree and seventh-rank Great Sage.

• Chen Feng completed his tribulation and advanced to Void Refinement, gaining a Divine Sense range of five hundred thousand li and greater control over his Star Array and Star Domain.
• Suosi and Ta'er emerged from the spatial passage and questioned Chen Feng about the star region and whether he had seen others like them.
• Chen Feng destroyed Ta'er's arms with a single attack, and Suosi recognized him as a seventh-tier being and tried to flee with Ta'er.
• Chen Feng used his Star Domain to immobilize Suosi and Ta'er, then asked Suosi about the Mara Clan.
• Suosi explained that the Mara Clan evolved by devouring cosmic energy, inherited powers and Principles from its sacred tree, and had more than twenty seventh-rank beings under the Great Sage.

Chen Feng accepted Space Origin from Suosi and began a civilization exchange with the Mara Clan, trading knowledge and treasures while seeking access to the Sacred Tree. After the exchange, he returned with Mosi in a weakened, flesh-ball form, leaving Suosi and Ta'er to confront their missing clansman.

• Chen Feng demanded a map and compensation from Suosi, who provided a detailed star map and handed over Space Origin, a treasure containing a Space Dao Seed.
• Chen Feng agreed to a civilization exchange with Suosi and Ta'er, and they traded information about their respective resources, cultivation methods, and treasures for five days.
• Chen Feng asked whether outsiders could use the Mara Clan's Sacred Tree, but Suosi firmly refused; Chen Feng then let Suosi and Ta'er prepare to leave.
• When Ta'er asked about Mosi, Chen Feng disappeared and returned holding Mosi as a black ball of flesh, shocking Suosi and Ta'er.

After breaking through to Void Refinement, Chen Feng discovered that his painting scroll could teleport him anywhere across the Dinghai Star Domain and the surrounding Solar System. He returned to the Painting Scroll World and learned that the war had turned against the Dinghai Star Domain, though Cang Yuelan's line held thanks to Xingfeng Sect's weapons.

• Suosi and Ta'er took the injured Mosi back through the spatial passage after Chen Feng permitted the Mara Clan to reinforce it, and Chen Feng set an array to guard the passage.
• Chen Feng discovered that his painting scroll's maps now covered the Dinghai Star Domain and nearby star systems, allowing him to teleport across a range of twenty light-years, though he sensed danger in trying to activate the scroll itself.
• Chen Feng told Lin Wei about the Mara Clan's blood-based communication and gave her traded items to study, then returned to the Painting Scroll World.
• Chen Feng learned that the Star Domain Alliance's invasion had pushed the Dinghai Star Domain into a disadvantage, while the Sea Fork Race withheld its main forces to test its Holy Sons and Holy Maidens.
• Cang Yuelan's northwestern defensive line repelled the allied forces with Aerospace Carriers, weapons, and nuclear strikes supplied by Xingfeng Sect, making the sect increasingly well known.

The Star Domain Allied Army planned attacks on the remaining defensive lines, and Xi Qingxu chose to target Cang Yuelan and the Xingfeng Sect. Back at the Xingfeng Sect branch, Chen Feng agreed to sell equipment to the enemy-aligned forces and gave Wang Fengnuo a sword to protect her on the front lines.

• Fen Wuji told the other Half-Step Dao Integration experts that the allied army had breached several defensive lines and proposed dividing up the remaining four.
• The group assigned Xi Qingxu to attack Cang Yuelan’s defensive line, where the Xingfeng Sect had repelled previous assaults, while Fen Wuji resolved to force the Sea Fork Race to act.
• Chen Feng returned to the Xingfeng Sect branch and told Liu Qian to sell equipment to any forces willing to buy it.
• Wang Fengnuo told Chen Feng she had reached Middle Golden Core and become a fleet captain, and Chen Feng gave her a sword imbued with ten powerful attacks for emergencies.
