Year 2056, in a city in the Yuan Jiang Su Jin area. On top of a ruined, shattered six story residential apartment sits a teenager wearing a combat vest, militaristic trousers, and alloyed battle boots. On his back is a hexagonal shield and equipped is a blood-shadow battle knife. He sits there silently on the edge of the roof. At this time, the sparkling sky was shining and there was a refreshing breath within the air that blew towards him. However, there was only silence within the ruined, deserted city, with an occasional howl that makes your heart skip a beat.

So far the most enjoyable and well-writen novel of IET that I have read to date.

The world-building is phenomenal, and while the characters can still have some specific IET kincs that I'm not too fond of, I find the main- and subcharacters to be more believable and with more personality than the characters from his other works such as Coiling Dragon, Stellar Transformations and Desolate Era.

If you're a fan of IET I highly recommend it and if you're not a fan of his other works I would still recommend giving... more>> it a read for a volume of two, as the novel at least for me has given some positive surprises along the way. <<less

Ok so I am writing this review mainly because of the few one star ratings reviews to this story. I gave it a five but its more like a 4.5 I have a love-hate relationship with IET. He constantly uses the same story tropes over and over. He creates important seeming characters and throws them away a few chapters laters. Sometimes its like you can feel when he gets bored and creates a time skip because doesn't want to deal with it etc. That said what this story isn't is... more>> "a slice of life" or a story "without struggle". What's most striking about this is the few amount of chapters these people read to come to these decisions. One person boasting about only reading 26 chapters. The beginning is slow the author doesn't want immediately slam down your throat the imminent danger these people face. The MC gains a few power ups but isn't immediately overpowered. He struggles but we know he's going to win as we know 99.9% of MCs are going to win but its not always without consequence. In any case the story is far from perfect but I find it highly entertaining. This was made to mostly clear up any confusion people might have made with their reviews.
Spoiler

My one real gripe that bothered me about the story is the extreme nationalism the author creates despite the situation seeming like it should have the opposite effect. The MC in the beginning is constantly talking about his love for his country it gets kind of nauseating after a while. It's made even more annoying when the story is on the galactic scale but he's still f*cking talking about china.

So, firstly the novel starts out slowly, and when I say slow, I mean glacial ice melting speed.

But that's pretty much the bad part about it, once it starts to pick up the pace you may start to feel that it was fun could have stayed this time and talked a bit more rather proceed the story speed as it then turns up the pace and pretty much never slows down till the end of the novel.

I would much prefer to read the continuation of this series but at this... more>> time can't seem to find it but that's unimportant to this novel which imho is splendidly done.

Love the part about revenge, just favour that type who never to eat to owe, maybe cz the author ate tomato???

Don't rate a novel if you dislike the genre has been clear since the beginning or more precisely don't talk like you know the plot by reading 6 pages and say hey this isn't sci-fi, well its just a part of the novel, and like it says it also has various other genre profiles which makes it so unless you go through half the story your opinion is simply conjecture ain't worth the pixels you waste on my screen.

Also it clearly says 35 books 1497 pages, if you don't like big sagas dont read it, who cares about your pathetic brain. Damn makes me mad thinking I didnt read it earlier by speed readin reviews back then. And some morons just add on likes to such worthless drivel.

anyways enjoy the read. Cya folks <<less

IET has many stories and most of them are rather similar this one however while it's essence is still "cultivator getting overpowered" the setting of the story is really different. Unlike all other novels that all stay at ancient china setting this one does not and it goes full science fiction mode. No one flies around normally but rather uses space-ships, the inheritance and manuals all cybernetics, hell the entire world is connected by massive virtual reality and people order best treasures by buying them online and they can expect... more>> the space delivery within a month.

I would say that this setting alone makes this one of best IET series as well as one of best cultivator series by far. The reason why? Well it's because it's realistic... truly whenever I read the cultivator series in which the times goes to extreme and forget MC's original place, the other places existed for endless amount of time and yet their civilization never reached cars and phones not to even mention spaceships and technology. The billions of years civilization and they still use bamboo scripts for their writing... truly all this is always silly. Here however... there is even a race of AI that has gone full skynet mode and they are one of major treats to humanity :). Truly the world setting and world building is unlike any other IET story.

Other than setting however the story has many great parts as well and the usual IET story's strengths as well naturally it's also have it's usual weakness but not all of them. <<less

Recommended: Only if you're a huge IET fan.

Swallowed Star has a great first arc or so, while the protagonist is still fighting monsters on Earth. In fact, it's arguably one of best bits from IET.

Past that, once it goes out of the solar system... it takes a really fun pseudo-scifi setting and turns it back into another bland xianxia. No other characters really matter, every planet and civilization is basically the same Chinese-worldview cliche, and the plot becomes a generic "cultivate to the top and fight for treasure" you can... more>> find in hundreds of other novels here. I mean, IET is a competent writer, so it's not particularly terrible, it just feels like he had a really cool idea for the first arc, then realized he had to write an entire novel and so fell back on his tried and true tropes. <<less

It's a wonder really, I haven't read tons of Xianxia since I'm just 2 years into it but at least I have read more than my hand can count. IET novels are just uniquely satisfying.

Yeah it's all the same kind of "logic", but it didn't stop me to complete CD, DE, ST, and DE anyway. There are ups and downs though, since I like CD more than DE, but if I can rate IET novels averagely they'll get 4 stars.

SS has quite an interesting background story, the characters are not... more>> super defined, it's not an in-depth strategy novel, romance are not that strong. But the whole novel flows well, with definite power level that puts things well into perspective and rewards the reader with a Xianxia experience that has a good quality. Personally I found no prolonged boring moments, no super s*upid move (like taking obvious s*upid decision or forgetting a skill since it's imba as hell), and it also doesn't feel too stretched. This novel is not a masterpiece, but it will give you a pleasant Xianxia story <<less

Reading this novel was simply a blast. The ending was also enjoyable that left it an opportunity to continue where it left off if IET ever decides to look back on it.

On a comparison side as the more you read into it, you'll experience how much more different it is compared to xianxia cultivation stories that ascend to heavens and such in his later work Desolate Era. Luo Feng does not become the top OP character in the novel's universe, but he does become quite a unique existence that blows... more>> every being above him with surprises after the next.

Spoiler

As you read on, you'll notice that the word 'universe' becomes different from what you'd expect after reading Coiling Dragon|Stellar Transformations. Every top powerhouse in the novel at a certain point will be able to create their own 'universe'. Thus it breaks the concept of one-big-bang==one constantly expanding universe. The size of a universe is equivalent to the strength of the being.

The title Swallowed Star is a larger foreshadow than his new body's ability. The last arc totally fixates on this point and it's totally understandable that the novel ends in such a way.

[collapse]

In between: I like how romance isn't fully driving the protagonist constantly to get stronger like IET will later on in DE and LordXue. Lots of exciting challenges that Luo Feng faces that sometimes becomes leapfrogging moments. Very enjoyable, though there is plot armor for few moments but manly in the early mid volumes.

Many of the sci-fi points do soften out near the end as many starcraft concepts are used up by then. There are racial wars between human-type and non-human-types that becomes the main setting in the middle volumes that reflects human vs aliens I guess. It's surprising later on that mechs and high-tech weaponry become negligible as IET focuses on the Luo Feng's own strength and not his armory.

I recommend this for anyone who wants a break from having to deal with qi of Heaven and Earth while walking along a path of lusting harem or bloody mu*ders with crude morality. For Starcraft players, your hated enemy pops up later on if you continue to read. <<less

I was really getting tired of all those xianxia where the main character is useless and untalented, or was talented in the previous life but reincarnated into a tr*sh body, then they get some overpowered treasure that accelarate their growth rate and start surpassing everyone, and they call themselves genius. Screw that, this guy in this novel is the definition of genius, it is true that hardwork surpasses talent sometimes but what happens when that talent is also a hardworker? This main character in this novel is climbing to... more>> the top with his pure talent and hardwork, no bullsh*t lucky item, one of the best main characters I've ever seen. <<less

This is an enjoyable novel. It's the 3rd novel by IET I read.

Recurring theme each time is that the MC falls in love with a girl pretty early in the story, who is above him in status, so the family does not approve of him.

The novel starts on earth in 2056. A virus has killed billions of humans years ago and humanity now lives in 56 cities across earth. The virus made humans and beasts stronger. The rest of earth is ruled by beasts and humans try to kill as... more>> many beasts as possible. MC wants to join the military academy to fight against the beasts and improve the living situation of his family.

Extensive spoiler of the entire novel

Spoiler

2056. Earth has gone through a pandemic which has killed billions. Humans now live in 56 cities around the world. Humans and animals have become stronger after that. Luo Feng lives with his parents and younger brother (wheelchair) in a small apartment. He studies hard to be accepted into the nr 1 or nr 2 military school. However during the math exam he falls into a coma and just misses the cutting line to be accepted. This (coma) has happened 2 times before and after that he got stronger and faster each time. This time he qualifies to become a fighter after his coma. Fighters are highly appreciated and can earn a lot of money.

When is father is being set up for damaging someone's property and beaten Luo Feng up beats up the people who attacked his father. He is sent to prison for trial. In prison he is attacked again by accomplices of a classmate who dislikes him. He beats them all up and ends up in a coma again. When he wakes up he has again become stronger and has awakened a spiritual force. With spiritual force he can move objects without fouching them.

When the police find out he is a prospective fighter he is released from prison.

MC joins the Dojo of Limits and joins a team to hunt beasts.

With the help of his dojo he negotiates with the uncle of the classmate who tried to harm him, but the negotiations fail. Uncle would rather pay 100 million to help his nephew and send him to prison with a reduced sentence of a few monts, than pay 30 million to MC.

On his first trip with his team to hunt animals he meets the team of the uncle and they try to kill him and his team. With the help of the spiritual force of MC they manage to survive, however 1 team member loses his arm. MC asks them to keep his spiritual force a secret. They did get a good haul of materials from beasts, so they earned a lot of money on this trip. MC goes hunting alone to train in an area with many lower level beasts and gets a good haul dailey for more than a month. He gets the nickname Crazy.

On his next trip with his team they decide to travel to a higher level area (former city) to hunt beasts. They catch an expensive animal, but again meet the team of the uncle who are accompanying a son of 2 Wargods, a high level fighter. The team decides to return home and MC stays behind to try and kill the team of the uncle. He manages to kill all but one, making sure the son of the Wargods and his 2 bodyguards are safe.

He finds out 2 Wargods are trying to kill the beast leader of the town, a dragon who has just laid an egg. He decides to stay and watch. During the fight when the dragon leaves his nest, he steals the dragon's egg and an expensive suit of a Wargod that is also lying there. He manages to escape the town through a former underground railway. When he goes above ground again out of town he meets the son of the wargods with his bodyguards and the last member of the hostile team. They attack him, so he kills them all. He gets away from the place asap, knowing that this means trouble. The parents offer an award of 100 billion for the capture of the killer of their son. They find out through a tracking system who was nearby and try to find out who did it.

MC sells the egg and suit for almost 30 billion dollars. He has heard he can buy a potion for that price at a yearly auction that heals everyone. He decides to try and buy that for his brother to get him out of his wheelchair.

MC gets invited to a special training camp because he has gotten very strong. All people who survive this camp become wargods. He gets stronger very fast with the help from teachers and fights. The strongest person on earth (Hong) comes to the town and openly says he admires his spiritual force. Now the parents of the kid MC killed know that he is their sons killer and they decide to kill him. The enitre camp is sent to Australia for training and MC prepares for the attack of the parents. He now has the strenght of an advanced Wargod himself.

In Australia MC is indeed attackes by the father who has brought along many other fighters and manages to kill a large part of their force. While running he finds a lake which contains many powerful animals. On an island inside the lake he finds trees that can fight too. The enemies find this too and call in others to kill these trees. These trees are called spirits of nature and contain very valuable recources. MC calls his own dojo to tell them about this and his dojo gets almost all of the tree hearts. MC gets a huge award for finding this place and getting a few tree hearts.

Considering the strength he has now he leaves the training camp and is assigned a position as an instructor in the town he lives in. This is the highest position in his town. He is called an invincible Wargod. There are only a few of them in the world.

At an auction MC buys 2 potions to heal his brother and teammate for 24 million plus a strong rope to make a net he can use in fights.

MC becomes boyfriend of Xu Xin, a girl he has been in love with since school and has kept in contact with. She is from a well-known family who only approved of their relationship after he became more powerful.

At this time a huge dragon egg falls in the ocean, which nobody notices.

MC is invited to enter an archeological site. When he enters he is the first human in 5.000 years to enter a test to develop his spiritual force. He has 3 years to complete this test. When he doesn't leave after 1 year (most leave within 2 weeks) he is declared dead. His enemies begin to harrass his family. His brother who is a genius stockbroker and has become very rich hires wargods to protect them. A little later MC succesfully completes the test. Because of this he is accepted as a member of Yu Mo planet and receives a suit, quantum computer and guide on how to use his shuttle. He is told his strenghth is very weak in the universe and there are many planets and beings in the universe.

When he finds out his parents have been harrassed by his enemies, MC starts a trial against them. They are executed.

In Australia an Grand Emperor Beast is born at the lake MC has been before. MC travels there along with Hong and many others. When they try to search for what caused all of these strong beings to appear they find a Mu Ya crystal. They go looking for more. There are several quarrels between searchers from different countries, causing the death of several wargods and instructors. MC finds a crashed spaceship and meets an AI. He accepts Yun Mo Planet, the owner of the spaceship (who has died long ago) as his master. He leaves with the AI and a spacering and several treasures. He also receives a cloud contact vine, which becomes his contracted plant.

In the US a huge Flaming Star Beast appears. It is known as the strongest types of space beasts in the Universe. It is devouring and destroying cities all over earth in a fast pace. No weapon can harm it. MC enters an archeological site in the hope of finding a weapon against it. He does find a weapon, but unfortunately can't kill the beast. After that Hong and Thunder God fight it with all their power. They also can't kill it and end in a coma. MC asks for the sacrifice of 5... level humans to sacrifice their life and give him their life force so he can fight the beast psychically. He succeeds and takes over its soul and gets all it genetical memories. He decides to split his soul and rebuild his own body which died. Everyone thinks MC died.

Xu Xin is pregnant with twins and is mourning his death. After their babies are born she tries to commit su*cide. Because of a necklace MC gave her, she doesn't die and gains an eternal body, which will enable her to live for aeons. However she can't increase her strength anymore.

In the meantime space travelers discover the milky way that has been hidden by MC's master.

MC travels into space to a planet 'near' earth. He buys a lot of s*aves amongst which are several star level s*aves. MC is still at star traveller level, which is lower. He buys enough energy drinks to make the whole human race stronger. When he is at star level himself, he can get access to an account his teacher left him.

When he gets back earth is found by explorers. MC captures them all and he finds out that these explorers have already informed their family (Nuolan Family) about their find and they will arrive in 3 months. MC now wants to enter Star Level asap so he can get access to that account and buy earth.
Right at the moment the second team arrives at earth and threatens them MC levels up and buys earth. He tells them to leave. They do keave but their family patriarch tells them to secretly go back and search for treasures (They've seen an Expensive Space Craft and video's of the Flaming Star Beast). When they can't find the beast they kidnap MC's wife and daughter.
MC buys 8 level 9 Star Level s*aves and frees everyone and kill's the enemy with the help of the Flaming Star Beast. He knows that the next spaceship should arrive in 3 years, so he and his friends have to train hard to get stronger. The leader of the Nuolan family sees a picture of an object on earth and after seeing that he plans to never go to earth. Apparently that picture is of a very dangerous animal.

He and his friends decide to train to become stronger asap and participate in a test to join a well-known mercenary corps. The test takes place in a separate created world. When they are exploring they discover a world within this world. When this is found out every organisation scrambles to enter, because the sector lord who created it had a secret space techniqie that was never found after his death that everybody wants.
Since people of higher levels are not allowed to enter, several sector lords send in 2 mln 9 star levels inside to fight for it.
Everyone finds out they have to look for thunderstones to exchange them for treasures. Mc's team finds about 1 mln stones. MC decides to exchange for a life fruitd to upgrade his vine. With this vine it could be upgraded to universe level. After the upgrade they decide to kill captains to get their stones. The team gets a lot of stones and exchanges for the most valuable items left. When they leave MC acts like they have only received 1 item and hands this over to a sector lord in exchange for killing the Nuolan patriarch. The lord promises to kill him when he meets him. He also gives him 100 planets. MC sells the rest for a huge amount of money to the universe bank.

Thunder God finds out he has become the heir of the sector lord who created the world they have been in

The different countries want to travel into the universe. MC agrees to send humans to one of his planets. The Flaming Star Beast breaks through to Universe level.
MC goes to an auction and buys a weapon that is very fittin to use with his spiritual force. He also buys the partial skin of the member of the Mosha clan. He wants to use this to create another clone.

Shortly after a huge competition among all the universes is announced. The trio decides to participate along with 8.2 billion people.
Thunder God loses in the first round, Hong in the second round and MC loses in the 3rd round. He goes through the losers rounds and can continue the matches in the 4th round. MC succeeds in making a clone of the Mosha clan. He now has 3 bodies.
Hong gets an offer to become the pupil of a very powerful person. This person only has 20.000 more years to live and wants to travel around to see if he can break through. Hong decides to follow him, seeing that MC and Thunder God are improving quickly with their inheritances.

MC ends up in the top 10 in the competition. The top 1000 will go to the primal universe (a universe that is developing and not complete) for 30 years. This will amount to about 100 years in their own universe. He is developing quickly in there. MC level rises to Universe level 1, the Flaming beast and Mosha bodies are at Universe level 6. He accepts True Yan as a teacher, an undying emperor. Xu Xin develops her company in the universe and becomes a core member of the universe bank, like MC. The already have several great-grandchildren.
Bolan who was 1st in the competition has done very well too. He is still in the lead.

When everybody leaves they are sent to another sector to study further. MC upgrades Universe level 9 with the help of a nutrition cabin.
When MC hears that a friend he recently made died he decides to accept a mission to blood river world. He has to become a blood warrior, which is possible after absorbing 3 blood river crystals. People on this world hate outsiders, so he can't bring anything that doesn't belong there.
In the first town he arrives at, he kidnaps 2 influential people of the town to get a crystal. He manages to get 1. He kills the people he kidnapped and the ones who fought him. He then kills a few who found him and gets several more crystals. He absorbs 1 crystal and decides to travel to the ancient battleground to absorb more. He notices his body and talents are getting stronger when absorbing the crystals. He finds a huge crater and is captured when he reaches the bottom. He pretends to become a servant of the leader there. When he hears that animals can abosrb them too and can absorb more than humans he decides to let the golden horned beast absorb the rest of the crystals he has. When he notices an effect he decides to go and rob and kill people for their crystals. When he has gathered 100 he continues absorbing. At 93 he can't continue so he decides to stop first. He robs a few sector lords of a statue which can help his golden horned beast with cultivating and leaves.

A while later he completes a few more missions (much faster this time, previous one lasted 80 years) and then takes on an impossible mission.

During this mission he has to survive on Devil Mountain on a certain planet for 3 years and gather tags of others. Others can also kill him and get his tag. However someone powerful wants to kill MC and has hired people, among which a few sector lords to kill him. While traveling he hears people talking about an inheritance ground that exists there. He meets and saves someone from his company but is betrayed and thrown down a mountain. However he manages to survive and ends up in the inheritance grounds. There he receives part of an inheritance. He leaves after 12 years in there.

After MC hears that Hong has fallen in love but is refused by her family, he decides to break through to Domain Lord to get a powerful position in their solar system and help him. However he finds out it is not her family but her master who objects to them being together. After seeing her (master) she gives Hong a test which he passes, but afterwards his beloved rejects him.

MC starts living on earth. He is given a special board which is found on earth, which contains an inheritance from the Flame Race that can evolve a persons body.

Again assassins come to kill MC. At the same time he receives a mission.
He has to kill a few undying and a lot of people, because their planet has been invaded by a bug. He gets support from an army. The manage to kill most, but a 12 people manage to escape. If they're not found within a year his mission fails partially. MC is invited to the home planet of the golden horn race and immediately receives a challenge from many youths. He accepts 1 and wins. He gets a change to study their origin tablets for a month and the beast and mosha clone break through to Sector Lord. While studying he receives law recognition.

MC returns home after a while and enspaves the bug queen. He now needs materials to let her make bug soldiers. He goes to a rubbish starcluster to buy bug remains. The bug race who wants to kill him sends an assassin again. He manages to kill the assassins among whichnis 1 undying. In the ribbish he also finds parts of an armor that call out to him.

MC is given a chain mission, and the first part is to sentence 18 s*ave traders. He kills everyone who joined the trading, more than 1 mln humans.

He then gets a call from Undying Knight, the creator of the axe dojo, who wants to buy earth. He refuses and gives him an island where he can live on earth. Then Yan Zhu, also member of the axe dojo and hostils to MC's teacher, wants to forcefully buy earth by holding his friends hostage. MC calls in the help from his organisation. With their help he sends them away. From Hong he finds out the secret about earth. Turns out that earth has been remodelled long ago and people who are born their will have an easier time raising their mental state. The one who did this also created the Flame race, who had a weak mental state. So he tried to create a new race with a strong mental state this way.

He is offered a deal by the Virtual Universe Company to sell earth for a huge amount of money or to give rights to build homes in the air. He decides to go for the second choice.

MC gets the second part of his chain mission. His mission is to stop a blood trial in another galaxy. The blood trial lets all people of several worlds (totalling about 10 billion people) fight until there are only 100 people left. He has to save 1 galaxy. He puts all the people of that galaxy in a space rings, kills the leader and leaves.

The 3rd part of the mission is to go back to the galaxy of the blood demon emperor and judge 21 of his underlings. He sentences them all to death, enraging the blood demon emperor.

The 4th part is to judge 21 members of his family who have done evil. The family now contains more than a million members and there are bad apples within. The company even wants him to judge his father. MC judges everyone except his father. He declares his father innocent.

He decides to go back to Primal Chaos City and stay there until he breaks through to sector lord. He expects this may take 1000 years. On advice of his teacher he decides to show the company all his talent. Because of this he becomes the nr. 1 kill target of the bug race. He is also accepted as a disciple in name from the city owner. Several years later he is accepted as official disciple.
Inbetween the domain lord qualification battles occur and MC easily wins.

MC decides to join the outer region wars. Here the wars between the different races are fought. He fights and kills a lot. Here he regularly uses the golden horn beast as well. He can now kill emperor undying fighters. He also gets the 2nd part of the flame race tablet and he nuys one of their armors. He gets an invitation to look for teasures in a sacrificial tower an acquaintance has discovered.
MC gets a lot of treasures after several fights. He even gets an undying s*ave. He also has 2 undying plants.

He decides to go to Star Tower. The moment he comes near it he feels it calling him, making him think he might become its master.
After 6.000 years he is recognised as its master and he acknowledges a 4th master, sitting mountain guest, the creator of the tower. He leaves the tower at its place and goes back to earth. He finds out his family has been bullied because people start to think he's dead. Also the people from other places who moved to earth are causing havoc. With the help from his 3rd teacher he sets them straight.

He sets out to kill the person who killed his teacher a long time ago. He thinks he succeeds, but this person nas split himself and survives.

He travels to the place where the 3rd part of the flaming star race tablet lies. He is captured and thrown in jail. He later gets out with the help from his 3rd master.

He gets a token that gives him access to the Ancestral God School, a school that does not interfere with race wars and accepts beings from all races.

Following that he travels to a secret realm to see if he can find a good race to make his 3rd clone. That will be the last one he can make and he has to do that before he becomes an undying. The Mosca body receives a treasure that vastly enhances his ability to space teleport. MC decides to get a leave ot a world tree, to create a 3rd body of the world tree. However he fails. When he contemplates what to do next, he is found by Bark Mirror Emperor, who tries to kill him to get his treasures (wings and star tower pearl). He flees and escapes into another country through a whirlpool. He ends up in a world he can not leave through teleportation. It belongs to a Universe Master. On the 3rd try Mosca body manages to steal a leave of the tree, however he fails in creating a body. MC is pursued in the world beyond the whirlpool and sends his mosca body in to sabe him by space transfer. He finds oceans that are the bodies of the 108 princes of the land and decides to steal some water to create a body with thay. This time he succeeds. His 4th body is an ocean.

MC decides to become undying, but his attempt fails. He realises his bodies have reached their limit and it is therefore more difficult for him to break through. He spends 80.000 years training his mind and creating new moves. After that he breaks through. He is challenged to a life and ceath fight by Bark Mirror Emperor and kills him. When he takes his treasures he is attacked by Pei Fing Knight, a Unverse Overlord. He manages to fight him off until rescue comes.

MC is accepted into the supreme council of the human race though usually only universe knight or higher levels are accepted.

He is bestowed a Top Treasure, the Golden Thread Aurora Mirror, by the Ancestral God School. With this he can bind enemies and fight them or flee if necessary. Bark Mirror Emperor is revived.

The supreme council convenes to tell that the way to 10.081 stars will open in 10 years. He goes to meet Flame Emperor, his 2nd brother from his 4th master. He owns a true treasure Force Armor his master has intended him to have and has given Flame Emperor to hold for a period of time. However he refuses to give it to him because he dislikes the human race and is greedy. He tries to have him killed but doesn't succeed. Finally he gives it to MC because he is afraid of what his master will do if he refuses.

MC travels to the stars and goes around in his golden horn beast and ocean body. There are too many that want to kill his human self for the treasures he has. When he finds a treasure he is chased and only manages to escape thanks to his 3rd teacher and the help from a space universal master who thinks he is one of their kind.

He goes to a craftsman planet where he can find the 4th part of the manual to improve his body. When he has it his golden horn beast body is thrown in the land of Extremis. This is a test of his 4th teacher. His himan body can't sense the other body anymore.
After a while a spacebeast comes to get him. It turns out this space belongs to the space beasts. He is sent into their secret space and told he can only get out if he beats their ancestor, a universe master. After 180 mln years he succeeds (time outside about 180.000 years).
He again goes to the origin stars and kills a lot of enemies, amongst which several universe overlords. He again becomes a nr. 1 kill target, this time especially with the automatons. He gets a rare stone that give access to a place with a supreme treasue. Human leaders ask him to hand it over to humanity, so that a universe master may get a chance to get the treasure. MC is willing to turn it over if he gets full ownership of earth back. They refuse.
MC goes to get the star tower since he is now strong enough to do so. He then goes to get the last part of the manual. This one can be found in a castle of the Blood Cloud Palace Leader. This person is known as a homicidal killer. Turns out this is a second identity set up by his 4th teacher. He hands over this identity to MC.
MC goes to try and get the supreme treasure.

MC is introduced to his 3rd master's teacher, teacher origin, the strongest of the human race. He has been imprisoned by the primal universe for a long time, because he gought against the universe.

The school sends MC on a mission. Turns out someone causing trouble has an object that does not belong to this universe, so the primal universe rejects it. Since MC can not kill him, Universe Masters from all races turn up to capture and kill him.

MC is sent to universe ocean in the origin universe which is much more dangerous than primal universe.
He finds the place where the 3rd part of his wings are, but its spirit rejects and tries to deceive him. He gets a diagram of the universe boat, where another treasure is stored. He decides to come back later for the 3rd part of the wings.

MC travels to Universe Boat because he received a partial diagram of it plus a place where a treasure is stored. He gets into a lot of fights and gets a few extra treasures. He is pushed down a ravine and takes one of his enemies with him. MC survives and gets a few extra treasures. His 4th teacher comes to take him out, because he can not do that himself. He finds a diagram of someone from a previous era (the universe has been reset 2 times, so this is the 3rd era) and leaves one of his bodues there to study it.

He goes back to the universe boat to fight. He ends up on another boat with many others that give him the chamce to become the heir of Dong Yuan River. Only one person can become the heir, the rest will be killed. MC becomes the only heir.
When he leaves he gets the 3rd part of the wings. It is still missing 3 parts. Afterwards he returns to human territory.
When there hs receives a message that Huge Axe, the strongest human, is deceived and driven in The Land of Darkness, which nobody has been able to leave. A little later he is killed.
When hostile races find out about the death of Huge Axe, they start a war. First only the demons and then the demons, bug race, automatons attack. They are suppressed by the primal universe so the max power they can exert is that of a Universe Master, though they have several Universe Supremes.
The scattered races band together to create their own alliance to not be forced to cooperate to one side and be able to make their demands. They now have the highest number of Universe Masters, more than 400. Many forces offer to join the join the human camp if they promise others how to guide others to become Universe Supreme and how to reach the max level of Universe Supreme (MC has gotten the way through getting the Dong Yuan River Inheritance. The human camp only offers them the first step.
When the leader of the new freedom alliance, who is a special unique creature, offers to join the human camp if they agree to only give him the 2nd choice and the rest the 1st, the humans agree. The Space Beasts join the other side.
When the freaadom alliance comes to help humans they receive a part of the inheritance. However after that they refuse to help humans and join the other side. Turns out Purple Moon Ancestor has given them much more extensive info.

MC breaks through to Universe Master with 2 bodies, his ocean body and mosha body.

When the war starts MC can trap and stop a large part of the enemies thanks to his ocean body and the star tower and swallows more than 200 universe masters in the tower. The enemy gives up.

Babata, MC's AI, has become undying. MC decides to revive his first master, Hu Yan Bo. Babata stays with his old master.

The Ancestral God School summons MC. They tell him that 3 Universe Supreme beings were behind the conspiracy to kill Huge Axe. The Universe told them about it and wants those 3 killed.
MC decides to go travelling around in Universe Ocean. He leaves his golden horn beast and ocean body in Origin Universe. He manages to kill one of the universe supremes who killed Huge Axe. He then finds the 4th and 6th part of his wings. Now there is only 1 part missing.

A huge flying object in the shape of a human is discovered in Universe Ocean. With a lot of effort people are able to change its direction a little, so that it will crash into the Universe Boat. MC enters the body. The ancestral gods knows it will be a 4th land of extremis (extremely dangerous), but don't tell anybody at first. When they arrive the tell everyone they can enter a certain land inside through a whirlpool.

Inside live billions of beings who speak an ancient language. He decides to join the army to learn about their secrets. He joins their special troops. He is very succesfull in his first mission. After that he decides to take a seal mission which is very dangerous, , but can elevate one's status fast. He must climb a tower with different assignments on each level. He manages to reach the top and is then seen as the heir of the Godly King, the owner of the body MC entered.

The ancestral gods tell everyone (on order of the original universe) that when the universe resets, the sector beasts come. They will kill everyone in the universe. They are told that the sector beasts will kill all the miniature universes, like the 2 holy lands and the primal universe (where humans live). The universe boat that lies in Universe Ocean was built to destroy the sector beasts. The sector beasts are bred in universe ocean. There are billions of them and they becomes stronger by swallowing and killing eachother. When only 1 is left, a king is born who can create thousands of servants and go through the universe destroying everything. Universe Supremes need to go kill the sector beasts and need a strong armor and palace from the land of Jin to fight them. Universe Masters are not strong enough. The sector beasts are bred in the Land of Darkness, where Huge Axe died. Sitting Mountain Guest knows they are mixing lies with truth.
MC orders for 443 universe masters of other races and the holy lands to be killed (he has that authority because he climbed to the top of the tower). After that the pinnacle races migrate and make room for humans.
Xu Xin has transferred her soul into another body and is now undying. MC created 6 flame creatures.
MC starts to create other creatures that can breed that can increase his gene level. More than 1, 6 trillion eras pass and humanity welcomes several true gods. Hong also becomes one. Everyone wonders why MC has not become one.
After 1, 6 billion era's true gods set off to the land of darkness.
A few people join the sector beasts and betray all the info of the universe they have to them.
1 sector beast leaves the Land of Darkness and goes exploring in the universe. It starts eating miniature universes of true gods. After it has fought others it starts eating and then leaving before others can arrive. 2 times it escapes MC too. The 3rd time MC manages to weaken it significantly and it still escapes while having returned to its weakest state.
Several powers are thinking about changing sides to the sector beasts.
After a long time MC finally reaches a gene level of 100.000 and becomes a True God. His 4 bodies have merged into 1.
While he is creating his miniature universe, the sector beast that escaped before returns. He is now persecuted everywhere in his own lands because he has weakened so much, so he decides to get revenge. He gives all the information he has to the sector beasts when he is captured. MC manages to ens*ave it and get info about sector beasts. However the sector beasts also feel one of them has been ens*aved.
MC decides to attack the most powerful sector beast Beddy who has reached level 5. He manages to defeat him and he decides to self-destruct. All sector beasts decide to go to where he is to attack him. The escape their land and start eating miniature universes of Universe Supremes. Then they head to MC's universe and half of them start devouring each other and the other half besieging MC's universe, forcing him to make a choice. MC chooses to attack the ones devouring each other. Leaving his own universe. Teacher sitting mountain guest offers to guard his universe. MC kills half of the remaining beasts and finds out the others can't attack his universe. The beasts decide to escape to Lost Ocean Domain. He ens*aves 5 more beasts while in pursuit.
The beasts manage to create a level 6 beast who comes back. He is forced by the universe to kill every remaining beast. During the fight with MC and his last remaining s*ave beast against the level 6 beast, MC wins. His ens*aved beast becomes the king.
He decides to attack Purple Moon Ancestor because he betrayed him too often (also refuses to give him 5th part of the wing). He lets Morosa swallow his universe. He destroys the holy land, but the ancestor is not in there.

To me this LN is not great but is above average. It is interesting and creative in its story progressing but has many downfalls that lower it rating.

The things I disliked are: the author does not know how to express when things are good or great as it always express it as " this ___ is not bad"; the misplaced too strong sense of Chinese nationality when you are building a Earthling and Universe bigger picture sense of nationality; the lack of knowledge or imagination of different cultures... more>> making every other alien race with too many Chinese/oriental customs (e.g. Naming, greetings, etc). <<less

Yes it is the best of iet's works many might disagree but that's the truth this story has a great MC and a perfect and unique world system and believe me there is no drama in this novel it is a novel and MC who focus on big picture and no idiotic tropes like female lead problems sci Fi part of the novel is well thought out and perfectly executed yeah if the end had an extra Arc it would be perfect but hey if you have read lxy then... more>> you'd be able to understand the reason why it skipped and went on with the story. If the last Arc was there then Lord xueying might have been arid overall swallowed star>Lord xueying>desolate era>stellar transformation>coiling dragon <<less

Mankind was suddenly attacked by a virus. That virus caused both man and animals to mutate. Animals mutated into hideous monsters. Humans have fighters, which battle the monsters for survival. Luo Feng, the protagonist, is a born genius.

IET's worst work that I have read. I don't mean that is really bad, just that it is IET's worst. If you have read IET's other novels this is similar, but the writing quality, the story and plot is much worse.

As usual, the MC is a highly filial son who revers... more>> his humble family and parents. His love interest is from a highfalutin superpowerful family. There is s*upid young master who tries to get the hero killed. The hero is a genius spirit warrior and so on...

Normally IET's protagonists don't kill people at random. However, this guy is different. He kills the son of a powerful wargod, though the son didn't attack him. Wouldn't it be better to just threaten him and leave? The write was just trying to create a tribulation for the MC, but he did it in such a hamfisted way. You kill a couple's only son, and it is wrong for them to try to get revenge? Strange Logic.

As I said, you don't find such weaknesses in other IET novels.

Conclusion: IET's weakest novel so far, but still way better than novels like Shadow Hack/ Emperor's Domination/ ATG/BTTH / True Martial World etc. If you like those kind of novels, might as well read this too.

Recommendation: Wanna read a well written novel? Try: Nightfall, Ze Tian Ji, Deathsutra, Pivot of the sky, A Will Eternal, and to lesser extent: Age of Adepts. <<less

It is a standard IET fast food, mental masturbatory novel.

It integrates technology into the story -- in place of magical items -- giving it a modern futuristic earthy feel. That is the main selling point, it is like an iphone with upgraded looks.

This is the type of work where some of the ideas are interesting, but some of the situations are ridiculous. It lacks depth in many places, it is sort of juvenile, it is best read with little thought to the details and only enjoyment to the picture it... more>> paints.

Don't expect much to be different from the other novels. IET uses a lot of the same scenarios he uses in CD and ST. At least it is in the same reality as both. <<less

I have to give this novel 5 stars it has opened my imagination as if revealing a clear sky.

BUT, really sloppy, unconvincing plot, and huge plot holes, such as the strength rankings, or the various races in the universe.

Author also likes to throw around phrases like "the laser cannon destroyed 50 000km of area", but that is IET's style so...

Still, read this, it made me turn totally chuuni

5 Stars easily. This novel is something that seemed slow to me at first, but it's very good. Took me 2 tries to get into it, but once I did I never looked back. Like all IET's novels, this one is fun and about a straight-forward morally just character on his path to achieve greatness. Although unlike his other novels, this one's actually set in the future, not just a mold of standard xianxia in a future setting. It's similar, but there are refreshing changes.
Spoiler

The story only truly picks up after the MC gets the Golden Horned Beasts' body, but thats not yet been translated :P it's ~v7c35. That's not to say that the prologue isn't good, it is.

Amazing, one of those stories that you can't stop reading until you've caught up. It is a scifi xanxia with a MC that is well developed, with a good amount of conflict and worldbuilding. One of the very best web/light novels out of the hundreds I've read.

Can't even remotely imagine how anyone can rate lower than a 4.

This is one of the or the best light novel I have read.

The protagonist is not op but he power ups quickly through hardwork and talent. There is no power up due to luck encounter or certain item in the initial period. The various arc have different setting with different enironment which is interesting and it lets the character develop.

One of the main thing that reading many light novel that bother me is the protagonist being too ruthless for almost no reason and I don’t like how it is portrayed... more>> and that makes me lose interest in the light novel but in this one even though sometimes the protagonist is ruthless it is portrayed properly.

Give it a try and you will love the setting, the characters, the arcs, the power level and the modern day feel in xianxia which is so intrestingly present in the novel <<less

Read up to Volume 5 chapter 71.

This work of IET is pretty refreshing. Its true that the plot formula and writing proses are very similar to his other works, but since this is based on modern day (and futuristic settings), the eastern fantasy elements (xuanhuan) isn't really prominent (like >9000 years have passed by in secluded training, where it was often the case, especially in Panlong (Coiling Dragon) and Stellar Transformations. The female lead doesn't get much 'screen time', but circumstances and character wise its quite believable.

It's like reading two totally different novel. IET did amazing job with early story with such unique and refreshing cultivation story! It was so intense action pack scene with endless possibility throughout the story and the plot went very smooth nevertheless the pacing was perfect. I never got bored once. Therefore I rated early-plot 5star + ! However mid-plot is totally a mess, approximately 300. Ch+ - the novel went from heaven to hell. It felt like the author lost sight of everything and began to write randomly mindless boring... more>> peanut yada yada chapters for more than 400chapters of uselessness. I tried my best to enjoy this novel.. I really did, but it's impossible. IT WAS EXTREMLY TAXING AND BORING, no kidding. <<less
