Chapter Summaries

Bone Fan and the Invincible Pirate Group stalked a mysterious giant ship, hoping to scavenge from its attackers, but watched it destroy a pirate fleet and survive a Genesis Death Ray. The ship then exposed hidden pirate forces across the region by broadcasting their locations and specifications, leaving Bone Fan stunned as the hunters were revealed.

• Bone Fan decided the Invincible Pirate Group would follow the giant ship and wait to scavenge, while secretly searching for other pirates nearby.
• Bone Fan detected a hidden minefield and an atomic-peak warship, then led her crew to watch as more than fifty pirate ships ambushed the giant ship.
• The giant ship split its bow into more than ten thousand warships, which destroyed the attackers and collected their wreckage and white dwarf star projectiles.
• A hidden force struck the giant ship with a Genesis Death Ray, but the ship emerged unharmed, leaving Bone Fan and the attackers bewildered.
• The giant ship stopped and sent out particle beams that burst into broadcasts identifying hidden pirate crews and their ship specifications, revealing their positions to Bone Fan.

Huang Ji used the Saint Ship’s detection and broadcasts to expose the pirate gangs lurking nearby, driving them to flee or turn on weaker rivals. The biological Skyworm ship remained undetected, and Bone Fan decided to ambush the departing Saint Ship.

• Nai Di used the Saint Ship’s detached warships to destroy an attacking pirate gang, while the Star Shell deflected the Wanderer Marauder Gang’s Genesis-level Death Ray by warping spacetime.
• Huang Ji told Nai Di not to waste energy fighting the hidden pirates and ordered him to broadcast their locations and equipment specifications, except for the biological ship.
• The exposed pirate gangs withdrew or targeted weaker rivals, and the surrounding threats scattered without Huang Ji’s group needing another battle.
• Bone Fan chose to keep her Skyworms in place and prepare traps, but halted when she realized the Saint Ship had left her biological ship unmentioned.
• Bone Fan concluded that the Saint Ship could not detect biological ships, then persuaded her crew to pursue and ambush it.

Bone Fan’s Invincible Pirate Group secretly dismantled the Saint Ship until Huang Ji and Nai Di trapped their biological spaceship. When the skyworms attacked to recover it, Bone Fan joined them in blasting a path into the giant vessel.

• Bone Fan sent armor-piercing bugs to strip the unresponsive Saint Ship, then joined the looting herself as the crew dismantled a thruster and gathered materials.
• Huang Ji ordered Nai Di to trap the Invincible, and the Saint Ship’s shifting hull swallowed the biological spaceship.
• Bone Fan prepared her crew for battle, but initially ordered them to retreat after the Saint Ship took their vessel without attacking them.
• The vice captain and crew refused to abandon the Invincible and fired antimatter weapons at the Saint Ship, starting a full assault.
• Bone Fan joined the attack, blasting through decks while worker bugs collected the released energy and radiation.

Nai Di explained how the Civilization of Light’s sanctions drove Shell Civilization into famine and recounted the rise and fall of the Legendary Empress. When the Skyworm pirates attacked to reclaim their sacred biological ship, Brando confronted them and trapped them beneath his umbrella.

• Nai Di explained that the Civilization of Light had sanctioned Shell Civilization for competing in the slave market, worsening its resource shortages and driving Skyworms into piracy.
• Nai Di recounted how the Legendary Empress rose from a laborer and slave soldier to lead the Hundred Battles Skyworm Plundering Group before the Civilization of Light killed her and destroyed her forces.
• Evil Dragon explained that the Skyworm pirates fought for the biological ship because the Hundred Battles Skyworm was a sacred symbol to their people.
• Brando stepped forward to face the approaching pirates and redirected their energy attack with his umbrella, turning it into falling ionic snow.
• Bone Fan asked Brando who he was as the pirates ambushed him with positron cannons, and one blast struck him between the legs.
• Brando retaliated with a gravitational vortex and used his umbrella’s force field to trap the Skyworm pirates.

Huang Ji’s group subdued the Skyworms and discussed the shifting black market in the Ninth Abyss, while Bone Fan offered to guide them there. Huang Ji revived the Invincible, but the biological spacecraft rejected its former crew and attacked Bone Fan.

• Brando’s group trapped and subdued the Skyworms, who failed to break through the force-field prison.
• An Lu Ban explained the Ninth Abyss’s wormholes and said the black market had no fixed location.
• Bone Fan offered to guide Ziwei to the black market in exchange for food and survival.
• Huang Ji revealed that he had repaired the Invincible’s brain, reviving the biological spacecraft.
• The Invincible rejected Bone Fan’s neural connection, split her in half, and spoke in universal language.

Huang Ji revived the Invincible, which rejected Bone Fan and her Skyworms because it had never belonged to Bone Fan. After recruiting them as paid warriors, he tasked them with producing Deformation Worms and revealed that he planned to rob the Abyss Black Market to support them.

• The Invincible attacked Bone Fan and Huang Ji, and Bone Fan explained that the living ship recognized neither of them because it had belonged to a fallen teammate.
• Bone Fan and her Skyworms surrendered after realizing they had no chance of escape without the Invincible.
• Huang Ji offered the Skyworms a nine-year contract to repay the damage they had caused, with an option to buy their freedom early.

• Huang Ji told the horrified Skyworms that he planned to rob the Abyss Black Market to support them, even though his enemy was not there.

Huang Ji brought the Saint Ship to the Abyss Black Market, where the Mahāpratisarā’s immense golden body loomed over a gathering of powerful factions. Despite warnings about the market’s formidable defenders, Huang Ji declared that they would attack and revealed that one of his two Star Shells was meant to lure their enemies away.

• The Skyworms consumed the Saint Ship’s stored resources, bred one hundred million Deformation Worms, and made four million Antimatter Stone Beetles while Bone Fan planned to stay with the Invincible if they could escape safely.
• Three days later, Huang Ji and his companions reached the black market and saw the Mahāpratisarā reclining nearby, surrounded by ships and beings from across the Abyss.
• Nai Di and Brando warned Huang Ji that the Mahāpratisarā and powerful groups such as the Dark Wing Race and Gamma Colossus Plundering Group made an attack too dangerous.
• Bone Fan explained that the sleeping Mahāpratisarā did not enforce order and that the black market held the Abyss’s criminal economy together.
• Huang Ji said the group would attack the black market anyway and revealed that one of his two Star Shells would lure the tiger away from the mountain.

A beginner-operated Shacha Civilization Star Shell fled the Abyss Black Market, drawing the Four Emperors and many powerful factions into pursuit. While the major players were away, a force of Golden Crows and eagle-headed mechs attacked the black market, leaving Mahāpratisarā engulfed in war.

• A Gamma Colossus broke the rules of a one-on-one fight to secure an Antimatter deal, then agreed to buy more from the caravan monthly.

Huang Ji’s forces devastated the black market, framed the Birdmen, and gathered a vast haul while battling the Abyss Bandits. With the strongest enemies gone, Huang Ji ordered Ziwei’s scattered troops to retreat to the Saint Ship, leaving the outcome of their escape unresolved.

• Huang Ji used the Star Shell to sweep Mahāpratisarā, destroy the black market, and protect valuable supplies for collection.
• Bone Fan explained that even pirates who recognized the Golden Crow disguise could blame the Birdmen, leaving them vulnerable to attacks and cutting off their access to Abyss trade routes.
• Ziwei’s forces fought desperately against the black market’s heavily armed pirates, while more than half of Bone Fan’s insect swarm was killed or wounded.
• Nai Di reported that the fleet had gathered more than fifty supply planets, and Huang Ji ordered the forces to withdraw with part of the haul set aside to create confusion.
• Huang Ji’s troops fought toward the exposed Saint Ship as the Deformation Worms held off pursuers and Nai Di scattered supplies along the retreat route.

Ziwei escaped the black market by abandoning supplies, triggering a chaotic battle in which pirates fought over the loot and ambushed survivors. When the Gamma Colossus Plundering Group returned, it learned that Kaleidoscope’s Golden Crow forces had looted the market, and the colossi recognized the company as a likely culprit.

• Ziwei’s pursuers stopped to scavenge its abandoned supplies, and the black market erupted into a free-for-all among pirates and merchant convoys.
• Pirates who avoided the melee fled or hid nearby, where groups ambushed survivors trying to escape with loot.
• After ten days of fighting, only a tenth of the pirates remained, and the returning Gamma Colossus Plundering Group found the black market stripped bare.
• A colossus used its Gamma Burst Fist to kill six pirates through their power armor, then captured survivors and questioned them.
• The captured pirates told the colossi that a hundred million Golden Crow had looted the market, and the colossi connected the attack to Kaleidoscope and its allies in the Ninth Abyss.

After looting the black market, Huang Ji offered the entire stockpile and advanced technology to Bone Fan’s Skyworms so they could rebuild Hundred Battles Skyworm. The chapter ended with Bone Fan halted before Huang Ji, torn between her plan to take him hostage and her desire to trust his offer.

• Huang Ji’s group escaped with the black market’s supplies, and Nai Di tallied the vast stockpile as the Saint Ship secured it.
• Bone Fan and the Skyworms debated whether to stay with Ziwei or flee with stolen resources, and Bone Fan persuaded them to consider taking Huang Ji hostage.
• Bone Fan approached Huang Ji, planning to use him to force Ziwei to let the Skyworms escape with supplies.
• Huang Ji told Bone Fan that the resources were meant for her people and offered to share Micro-particle Era production technology and biotechnology from the Invincible.
• Bone Fan stopped before Huang Ji, stunned by his offer and unsure whether to trust him.

Bone Fan took Huang Ji hostage because she could not trust his offer of technology and resources, but Huang Ji turned her biological control against her and proved he had meant his offer sincerely. The chapter ended with Bone Fan agreeing to work for him.

• Bone Fan swallowed Huang Ji and threatened to kill him unless Ziwei let her and her crew leave with the Invincible and ten percent of the wealth.

Bone Fan disbanded the Invincible Pirate Group, confessed that she had invented her connection to the Legendary Empress, and won her crew’s loyalty by choosing to fight for the Skyworms. She recruited starving Skyworms and named her new force the Kunlun Empress, leaving the people of Kunlun to suspect Huang Ji was preparing to reveal the truth about Earth.

• The people of Kunlun suspected that Huang Ji might reveal everything during the coming decisive battle against the Anunnaki.

Huang Ji gave Bone Fan a vast, upgraded Ziwei biotechnology system and ordered the Skyworms to prepare for war after a month of travel. As Bone Fan mobilized the swarm and built a fleet of enormous motherships, Keke chose to become one herself and joined the coming battle, while Mu Yuan reluctantly accepted that she wanted freedom.

• Huang Ji gave Bone Fan a biotechnology package that expanded on the Empress's legacy with peak micro-particle technologies, including dark matter insect clouds and the Limit Force Field.
• Bone Fan declared she could integrate the technology within a year, but Huang Ji said they would travel for a month before going to war and only needed to restore the Skyworms' former military strength.
• Bone Fan directed thirty billion Skyworms to consume their supplies and build a quadrillion-strong swarm, then led them in constructing three hundred thousand moon-sized motherships.
• Keke chose to become a mothership and playfully demonstrated her enormous body to Mu Yuan, who worried she would be in danger and asked Huang Ji to turn him into a ship too.
• Huang Ji told Mu Yuan that Keke wanted freedom from his protection and promised she would survive; Keke then joined the Kunlun Fleet as Bone Fan hurried to upgrade the motherships and develop a dark matter insect cloud.

The Dark Metal survivors returned to their leader and reported that an army of Golden Crows had looted the black market.

Anunnaki learned that Golden Crow forces across the Abyss were being attacked over the black-market looting, and Kaleidoscope concluded that Ziwei had trapped them while Shadow Long secretly served Huang Ji. He chose to abandon Anunnaki’s remaining assets and launch a desperate war, ending with a declaration that even the Venerable One would be fought.

• A Silver Wing Armor messenger reported that the Dark Metal Pirate Gang had wiped out Anunnaki’s supply buyers, and Kaleidoscope realized Golden Crow across the Abyss were being targeted.

Wanderer Marauder Gang pirates invaded Luxury Gaia Planet, slaughtering its Anunnaki defenders and stripping the planet for resources while its Primitive Races struggled to survive. Ona and Old Ma escaped the first shockwave, but as the Sun God Tree sustaining their region came under threat, Ona saw millions of ships descend and hoped to find a powerful group willing to take him in.

As pirates devastated Myriad Races Paradise, the Tentacle Prime Minister and other customers assumed Anunnaki would keep them safe, but the Wanderer Marauder Gang captured them. A Gamma Colossus then struck down the Steel Giant and challenged the pirates.

• The Tentacle Prime Minister dismissed reports of the attack and resumed his ritual with the Crocodile People, while two Moya nobles warned that the pirates might be dangerous.
• A strike from an Atomic Nucleus Blade split the VIP room and killed Crocodile People, so the Tentacle Prime Minister flew outside to demand that the pirates spare the customers.
• The Steel Giant mocked the Prime Minister, captured him and other nobles, and sealed them in an electromagnetic cage.
• The Steel Giant injured the Prime Minister with a sonic roar and declared that his gang controlled the situation.
