Chapter Summaries

Su Yu traded with the Hunter Pavilion for Undead Essence Blood, learned the undead race’s techniques, and disguised himself as an undead to move through the ancient city. He left Little Fur Ball in their house and began scouting his enemies, intent on turning the tables rather than escaping.

• Su Yu arranged a trade with the Hunter Pavilion, exchanging corpses, treasures, and Ancient City Tokens for Undead Essence Blood and a roster of powerful arrivals.

• Su Yu lured Moerba out of an ancient house and killed him with his Expansion Divine Hammer, concealing the kill so the Hunter Heaven Ranking would not identify him.

With the gates shut and Shanhai Undead attacking outsiders, Su Yu lured a horde toward Cheng Kai and Jiu Xuan, leaving them surrounded as the chapter ended.

• Su Yu killed a Shanhai Second Level Mountain-Breaking Ox that emerged from a house, then went toward the City Lord's Mansion.

Su Yu sought an audience with City Lord Tianhe, hoping to leave the besieged ancient city before the myriad races arrived. Tianhe refused to open the gates but directed him to the forbidden rear hall, where Su Yu went to seek the opportunity hidden there.

• Su Yu found the Floating Earth Spirit hiding near the City Lord's Mansion, but it sensed danger and fled before he could reach it.
• Su Yu returned to human form, gathered tokens and gifts associated with powerful human experts, and announced himself at the mansion gates as their adopted great-grandson and disciple.
• Tianhe opened the gates and received Su Yu, who argued that leaving the city would prevent a battle from erupting there and offered him a cultivation manual.
• Tianhe said he could not open the gates for Su Yu without breaking the ancient city's rules, so Su Yu prepared to leave and fight the pursuers instead.
• Tianhe stopped Su Yu and sent him to the mansion's rear hall to test his luck; the stone statue there watched as Su Yu and General Tianmen approached.

Su Yu entered the great hall and tried to forge the giant stone sculpture, accidentally learning its ancient breathing and oscillation techniques while receiving three temporary teleportation talismans. The sculpture finally expelled him after he kept hammering it, and Su Yu left convinced he had gained a major opportunity.

• Heavenly Gate told Su Yu that Ye Batian had gained a cultivation art in the hall and Xia Longwu had killed a Sun Moon Undead before leaving seriously injured.
• Su Yu examined the stone sculpture, mistook it for exceptional weapon-forging material, and began burning and hammering it.

Su Yu escaped Tianmie Ancient City with a Traversal Talisman and reunited with Liu Wenyan, who had come to rescue him but was now surrounded by Heavenly Wolves. After Su Yu killed the wolves, he and Liu Wenyan discussed whether Su Yu could strike back at the experts waiting near the city, and Liu Wenyan offered to lend him a powerful divine character.

• Su Yu found Qin Fang and his Flying Tiger sheltering in an ancient house, then left them alone and used a Traversal Talisman to escape the sealed city.

Su Yu forced the incompatible 'Suppress' Divine Script into his Sea of Will, where the Golden Booklet subdued it, leaving Liu Wenyan stunned when he lost contact with the script.

• Su Yu approached Zheng Ping while disguised as an Iron Winged Bird, but Ye Hongyan arrived and struck the Mystic Armor expert before clashing with Ming He.

Su Yu digested his gains in Cloudsky Ancient City, completing twenty-seven body forgings, advancing his willpower to Soaring Cloud Second Level, and discovering new Immortal Race cultivation knowledge. As he planned to seek intelligence before heading to the Star Sea, Invincibles discussed forcing the Human race to surrender him and ordered the Demon, Monster, and Star Sea territories searched for him.

• Su Yu consumed all twenty wisps of Heavenly Profound Light, completed his twenty-seventh body forging, and raised his physical strength to nearly twenty-four thousand apertures.

• Dao King failed to divine Su Yu's location, and the Invincibles ordered their factions to search the Star Sea, Demon Realm, and Monster Realm for him.

Su Yu gathered intelligence in Cloudsoar Ancient City and chose Nine Star Island, near the Star Mansion, as his next destination. Unaware that Modona had publicized the plan and drawn Heaven Ranking geniuses there, Su Yu prepared to leave while other experts began converging on the island.

• Su Yu visited the Hunter Pavilion, sold a forging material, and bought public information about Cloudsoar Ancient City and the Star Sea.
• Su Yu bought a flying dragon inner core from an elderly Human and learned that several Tianmie Ancient City survivors, including Modona and Dao Cheng, were still alive.
