Chapter Summaries

Chen Mo fought through Noah and Ma Lijin’s gunmen while secretly disabling the buried C4 with the Soul Chasing Nail. After the explosives were neutralized, Noah ordered hidden forces to attack Chen Mo from both front and rear.

• Noah used Ma Lijin and Little Mustache’s armed men to draw Chen Mo toward the center of the grounds, hoping to wear him down and detonate the buried C4.
• Chen Mo used his backpack as cover to retrieve firearms and returned fire, advancing without relying on Spiritual Sense.
• Chen Mo secretly sent the Soul Chasing Nail underground and severed the C4’s detonators, wires, and receiving modules.
• Chen Mo shot down more than ten gunmen, while Little Mustache and Ma Lijin each prepared separate escape routes.
• Noah ordered the armed personnel to pincer Chen Mo as five hundred Grey Skins and five hundred soldiers waited behind him.

Noah ordered a thousand armed personnel to concentrate their fire on Chen Mo, hoping to exhaust his energy before the superhumans attacked. Chen Mo preserved his strength with Vajra Talismans, then entered the tunnel to kill the gunmen with a poisoned alloy knife while waiting for a chance to eliminate everyone present.

• Noah abandoned his plan to lure Chen Mo into the central area and ordered Ma Lijin to unleash the armed personnel’s concentrated fire.
• A thousand soldiers and Grey Skins opened fire on Chen Mo, while Noah and the superhumans watched from cover.
• Chen Mo charged toward Noah through the barrage, using Vajra Talismans to protect his True Essence as enemy abilities and bullets wore down the talismans.
• An agile Ability User threw Chen Mo a poisoned alloy knife, and Chen Mo caught it despite the poison numbing and darkening his palm.
• Chen Mo decided to reduce the armed personnel before confronting the Ability Users and leaped into the tunnel.
• Chen Mo swiftly killed the armed personnel in the tunnel section with the poisoned alloy knife.

Chen Mo continued clearing the armed personnel from the tunnels while using a Detoxification Pill to remove poison from his hand. Noah’s Spirit Stabs repeatedly failed to affect Chen Mo, so Noah ordered Ma Lijin to send the extraordinary individuals to surround and attack him.

• Chen Mo used a Detoxification Pill and True Essence to draw the poison from his palm, then expelled it with a silver needle.
• Chen Mo fought through the winding tunnels, dodging grenades and enduring Noah’s Spirit Stabs as he eliminated the armed personnel.
• Noah tested his Spirit Stab on Demp and confirmed it affected him, but repeated attacks still had no visible effect on Chen Mo.
• Chen Mo cleared a stretch of tunnel and threw grenades into nearby areas, wiping out the enemies there.
• Noah judged that ordinary personnel could not stop Chen Mo and told Ma Lijin to send the extraordinary individuals to surround and attack him.

Sorcerers and other Ability Users surrounded Chen Mo with ghosts and black clouds while soldiers and Grey Skin fighters struggled to hold their positions. Chen Mo continued attacking through the tunnels and resisted the ghosts and martial artists, leaving the armed forces badly depleted.

• More than thirty Ability Users advanced on Chen Mo as over twenty Sorcerers released ghosts and spread black mist across the manor plaza.
• Master Mahali recognized Chen Mo as the man he blamed for his disciple’s death and worked with Master Ashim and Master Tullio to prepare the area for the attack.
• Noah decided to trigger the ambushed three tons of goods despite considering whether to spare the Ability Users who were working hard.
• Ma Lijin warned the soldiers and Grey Skin commanders about the Sorcerers’ black clouds, and they ordered their forces to hold position and seal tunnel connections.
• Chen Mo threw iron pineapples into the sealed tunnels, killing more than two hundred soldiers and Grey Skin members, while his Vajra Talisman shielded him from ghosts and Muay Thai attacks.
• Nearly three hundred of the thousand armed personnel had been lost, and the surviving soldiers began considering retreat as the black clouds engulfed Chen Mo.

Chen Mo used the chaos of the attacks to secretly set up formations around the central plaza, then activated them to trap everyone. Noah and Ma Lijin tried to detonate the buried C4, but both remote and wired controls failed.

• Sorcerers, Muay Thai Masters, and Western Ability Users attacked Chen Mo while he dodged and replaced the Vajra Talismans protecting him from the ghosts.
• Chen Mo ran around the plaza placing Formation Bases while Noah waited for him to reach the buried C4 and Ma Lijin's forces tried to keep him under attack.
• After completing his circuit, Chen Mo stopped and activated the Isolation, sealing, reinforcement, Illusion, and Killing Arrays.
• Noah sensed something was wrong, ordered his forces to attack, and repeatedly pressed the remote control, but the C4 did not detonate.
• Ma Lijin tried the wired detonator as well, but it also failed, leaving him worried that Noah would hold him responsible.

Chen Mo unleashed his full power against Noah and the forces trapped in his formation, using talismans, True Fire, and the Soul Chasing Nail to overwhelm them. Noah recovered and ordered a counterattack, but remained shocked that Chen Mo was an Easterner with powerful psychic abilities.

• Noah sensed Ma Lijin's detonation had failed, abandoned the remote, and attacked Chen Mo with an enhanced Spirit Stab.
• Chen Mo struck Noah's Spiritual Sea, knocking him unconscious, then used Thunder Burst and Flame Burst Talismans to drive back the Sorcerers, Muay Thai fighters, and Ability Users and destroy nearby ghosts.
• Chen Mo rose into the air on the Qingyun Sword and sent the Soul Chasing Nail through the tunnels, killing hundreds of armed personnel and forcing survivors to flee.
• Noah regained consciousness, sensed Mental Power around Chen Mo and the Dark Light, and ordered everyone to attack him.
• Noah realized Chen Mo's abilities appeared to break the supposed incompatibility between Easterners and Western psychic powers, but insisted they had to eliminate him.

Chen Mo fought off Noah’s team and nearly forty superhumans, using Onimaru and True Fire while holding back his strongest weapon to practice. The armed personnel suffered heavy losses and began fleeing as their attacks proved ineffective.

• Noah drank a potion to soothe his damaged Spiritual Sea and ordered his team to capture or eliminate Chen Mo.
• Chen Mo used True Fire and Onimaru to kill two Sorcerers and cut a Muay Thai superhuman in half.
• Noah’s remaining attackers surrounded Chen Mo with abilities and Ghostly Objects, but he dodged and countered their attacks.
• Chen Mo kept the Green Jade Sword in reserve and treated the siege as a chance to train his saber skills and reactions.
• After losing more than half their force, the armed personnel abandoned the fight and tried to run.

Chen Mo trapped the fleeing armed personnel behind the formation and used his Soul Chasing Nails to kill many of them before turning to face Noah’s coordinated assault. Frustrated by the attackers disrupting his training, Chen Mo activated the formation, plunging the battlefield into darkness and illusion.

• Chen Mo’s formation repelled the fleeing armed personnel, and their rebounding bullets killed more of them as Soul Chasing Nails pursued the rest.
• Chen Mo recalled the nails after more than half of the five hundred attackers had died, sparing those who pressed their foreheads to the ground.
• Noah drank a vial of medicine to restore his Mental Power and directed nearly forty supernatural beings in a coordinated attack on Chen Mo.
• Chen Mo replaced his defensive talisman and activated the formation, filling the battlefield with white mist and darkness.
• The formation’s illusions overcame the attackers one by one, while Noah remained outside their grip.

Chen Mo used the Illusion Array to trap and turn the armed personnel against one another, while Noah struggled through its interference and found Little Hu. Noah’s attempt to wake Little Hu succeeded, but a sudden counterattack severed much of Noah’s Mental Power and injured his Spiritual Sea.

• Chen Mo activated the Illusion Array, drawing the ordinary armed personnel into an illusion where they attacked one another.
• Little Hu left his hiding place under the illusion’s influence, killed several former companions, and continued fighting until only a few armed personnel remained.
• Noah resisted the illusion’s interference, broke through a restraint on his Mental Power, and found Little Hu standing vacant with an empty gun.
• Little Hu attacked Noah, who dodged and used a small Spirit Stab to help him regain his senses.
• An unseen attack cut through Noah’s Mental Power, leaving him with less than half of what he had and causing blood to seep from his face.

Chen Mo used a composite array to trap Noah, Little Hu, and the other Ability Users while the Soul Chasing Nail killed them and he burned the ghosts with True Fire. Noah remained badly injured but alive as Chen Mo continued eliminating the people trapped in the array.

• Noah struggled with severe Spiritual Sea damage and discovered he could not see through the pain, while Chen Mo realized Noah's Mental Power could resist the Illusion Array.
• Noah used a Spirit Stab to wake Little Hu from the illusion, but Little Hu despaired at losing his fantasy and died when the Soul Chasing Nail struck him.
• Chen Mo found that the Soul Chasing Nail could not harm ghosts, so he burned them with the True Fire coating his Onimaru and watched the black mist dissipate.
• Chen Mo killed the remaining armed personnel and Muay Thai Masters, including Ma Lijin, while they were trapped in their illusions.

Chen Mo used the Soul Chasing Nail to kill Ma Lijin and the surrounding Muay Thai Masters, then investigated why the Sorcerers were waking from his Illusion Realm. He discovered their ghosts’ marks were returning them to reality, and Mahali awakened just in time to see Chen Mo kill another Sorcerer before turning toward him.

• Chen Mo killed Ma Lijin and the surrounding Muay Thai Masters with the Soul Chasing Nail.
• Several Sorcerers began to awaken, so Chen Mo separated them and discovered that their marked ghosts fed back traces of their masters’ auras when destroyed.
• Master Mahali remained trapped in the Illusion Realm, where he imagined refining the Mother and Child Ghost, gaining power, and fighting a joint Eastern and Western attack.
• Mahali woke from the Illusion Realm, slapped himself, and watched a Sorcerer die as the ghost fused with him dissipated.
• Chen Mo’s Soul Chasing Nail killed another Sorcerer, and Mahali became his next target.

Mahali narrowly survived Chen Mo’s Soul Chasing Nail by using the unfinished Mother and Child Ghost to shield himself. He began a dangerous Essence Blood refinement to strengthen their bond and stay alive while Chen Mo turned his attack toward the other Sorcerers.

• Mahali fused with the Mother and Child Ghost as the Soul Chasing Nail pierced his defensive ghost, then the Mother Ghost blocked its next strike.
• Chen Mo redirected the Soul Chasing Nail toward the other Sorcerers and decided to investigate Mahali’s unusual defense later.
• Mahali hid his forehead, fed Essence Blood to the Mother and Child Ghost, and began rapidly refining it while devouring stored ghosts to restore his aura.
• Mahali continued exchanging auras with the Mother and Child Ghost, risking control by the ghosts in hopes of completing the refinement quickly.

Chen Mo used the formation and Soul Chasing Nails to kill the extraordinary fighters trapped in the Illusion Realm, while Master Mahali remained alive and refined ghosts. After collecting a poisoned dagger user’s weapons and supplies, Chen Mo continued eliminating the Western Ability Users, leaving Noah and Mahali as the remaining threats.

• Mahali covered himself in black mist and appeared to refine the ghosts, while Chen Mo killed the Sorcerers and Muay Thai fighters trapped in the formation, including Masters Tulio and Ashim.
• Chen Mo used a Soul Chasing Nail to kill Noah’s agile Flying Dagger user, who had been running in circles inside the formation.
• Chen Mo took the dead Ability User’s eleven poisoned Flying Daggers and several unlabeled potions, deciding not to refine the blades.
• Chen Mo killed Ira after redirecting the ice sphere she had been holding, and she briefly saw him before dying.
• Chen Mo used the formation and Soul Chasing Nails to kill the remaining Western Ability Users, including Demp, while Noah remained alive.

Chen Mo confronted Noah after defeating the rest of his formation, and Noah tried to catch him off guard with his strongest psychic attack. Chen Mo contained the attack and trapped Noah, leaving him exhausted and unable to fight back.

• Noah watched the mustached man die and realized Chen Mo had defeated the others in the formation.
• Noah asked Chen Mo to reveal how he cultivated Western abilities, but Chen Mo dismissed the question and attacked his Spiritual Sea.
• Noah pretended to accept his death, then unleashed Starcloud Flash, his strongest psychic attack.
• Chen Mo reinforced the formation and confined Noah’s attack, preventing it from reaching him or damaging the formation.
• Noah exhausted his Mental Power and found himself trapped, unable to use the item in his hand or fight back.

Chen Mo defeated Noah despite his Nebula Flash, killed him, and took the medicine from his body. He then appeared beside Mahali, who was refining the Mother and Child Ghost, and prepared to kill the Sorcerer before dealing with the ghosts.

• Noah asked Chen Mo what technique he cultivated and secretly injected himself with medicine, hoping to recover enough strength to escape.
• Chen Mo summoned the Soul Chasing Nail and killed Noah before answering his question.
• Chen Mo searched Noah's body, found four vials of medicine, and left the rest of his personal belongings behind.
• Chen Mo appeared near Mahali as the Mother and Child Ghost finished manifesting and roared at him.
• Chen Mo sent the Soul Chasing Nail toward Mahali, intending to kill him before using Thunder Burst and Flame Burst against the ghosts.

Mahali completed the refinement of the Mother and Child Ghosts, breaking through into an unknown realm, and used them to stop Chen Mo’s Soul Chasing Nail. As Mahali launched a counterattack, Chen Mo met him in close combat to gain experience.

• The Mother and Child Ghosts shielded Mahali from the Soul Chasing Nail as he finished refining them and advanced beyond the known realms of Sorcerers.
• Mahali revealed that refining the Ghosts had cost him more than half his blood and ten years of his lifespan, then transformed with the Mother Ghost while the Child Ghost hid in the black mist.
• The Child Ghost attacked Chen Mo by surprise, but Chen Mo blocked it with Onimaru and cut off one of its fingernails with True Fire.
• Mahali charged Chen Mo with his staff, and Chen Mo advanced with Onimaru to fight him directly.

Chen Mo fought Mahali to improve his swordsmanship while Mahali wielded the Mother and Child Ghosts. After Chen Mo briefly decapitated the Child Ghost with True Fire, it revived, and Mahali gradually adapted to his increased strength and began gaining the advantage.

• Chen Mo exchanged blows with Mahali, using the fight to practice his self-taught swordsmanship while keeping watch for the hidden Child Ghost.
• The Child Ghost attacked Chen Mo from behind as Mahali brought down his staff, but Chen Mo kicked Mahali away and used True Fire-coated Onimaru to cut off the ghost's head.
• The Mother Ghost appeared, and the Child Ghost soon revived through the pair's connection, leaving Mahali's baleful aura depleted.
• Mahali charged Chen Mo again, and the two resumed fighting as the Child Ghost searched for openings to attack.
• Mahali adapted to his newfound strength and weapon, gradually pressing Chen Mo until Chen Mo was struck several times and felt increasingly constrained.

Chen Mo exploited the recovery link between Master Mahali’s Mother and Child Ghosts to injure both and gain the upper hand. The Child Ghost reappeared to attack him before it had fully recovered.

• Chen Mo lured the Child Ghost into a sneak attack and used the True Fire on Onimaru to sever its head and torso.
• Chen Mo used the Child Ghost’s recovery delay to slash Master Mahali’s chest, wounding the fused Mother Ghost as well.
• Chen Mo realized the Mother and Child Ghosts healed by transmitting energy between them, so injuring both disrupted their recovery.
• Master Mahali swallowed nearby ghosts to feed the wounded Mother Ghost, while Chen Mo pressed his attack and widened Mahali’s wounds.
• The Child Ghost emerged from the fog and attacked Chen Mo before its recovery was complete.

Chen Mo badly wounded Mahali and the Child Ghost, forcing Mahali to fuse with the Mother Ghost and undergo a second transformation. After the Child Ghost joined them, Mahali became a powerful three-in-one monster and attacked Chen Mo with strength comparable to an Embracing Dan Martial Artist.

• Chen Mo cut the Child Ghost apart again, then stabbed Mahali with Onimaru, burning him with True Fire.
• Mahali escaped the blade by bending his body unnaturally and began a second fusion transformation.
• The Child Ghost joined Mahali and the Mother Ghost, restoring their injuries as the three fused into one monster.
• Mahali's transformation produced bone armor and blade-like spikes, and he threatened Chen Mo before charging.
• Mahali's finger-blades clashed with Onimaru, and he attacked Chen Mo again after their first exchange.

Chen Mo used the array to contain Mahali, but the Illusion Array let the Mother and Child Ghost take control and transform Mahali into a towering monster. After Mahali broke through the barrier and began absorbing Yin Sha Qi from the fallen Sorcerers, Chen Mo realized he had to stop the replenishment before the monster grew stronger.

• Chen Mo trapped Mahali behind the array, but Mahali repeatedly charged into its barrier under the Mother and Child Ghost’s influence.
• Chen Mo reinforced the array and activated the Illusion Array, which trapped Mahali’s consciousness and gave the Mother and Child Ghost greater control of his body.
• The Mother and Child Ghost released ghosts and black mist from Mahali’s rod-shaped weapon, devoured them, and transformed his body into a monster nearly six meters tall.
• Mahali smashed through the array and charged Chen Mo, who dodged and struck him with Onimaru, leaving only a shallow mark that quickly healed.
• Black mist and ghosts from the fallen Sorcerers began gathering into Mahali, and Chen Mo decided to cut off the energy supply.
