Chapter Summary: “Almost Died”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Hu Da and Hu Er encounter Ah She, Little White, and Ah Kun, who excitedly describe a mysterious valley containing strange light, fragrance, and possible treasure.
  • Although Hu Da senses danger, he agrees to investigate because he and Hu Er have been stuck at the High-Rank Beast General realm and hope the valley may contain a breakthrough opportunity.
  • Near the valley, Hu Da detects an ancient, overwhelmingly powerful presence beneath the earth. The group decides to proceed cautiously and avoid further digging.
  • Xu Feng returns to the temporary camp, realizes the five beasts have gone to the valley, and follows them. He identifies the location as a Gold Mark Land near Senior Yin’s territory and recognizes the underground ruins as resembling Senior Yin’s dwelling.
  • Xu Feng finds the group underground just as his powerful spiritual probing awakens the buried entity. The mountain begins collapsing, and a gigantic dark-red claw attacks them.
  • Xu Feng blocks the claw with his weapons and protective abilities, suffering internal injuries but buying time for everyone to flee.
  • The creature attacks Ah She and Hu Er at the rear. They attempt to save one another, but both are seized. Xu Feng uses a dark-gold dagger to injure the claw and rescue them.
  • Their escape route disappears, trapping them before the enormous vertical eye of the awakened being, who identifies itself as Blood Butcher.
  • Xu Feng negotiates rather than fight. He invokes his master, Senior Yin, Great Xia’s power, his official status, and his connections to powerful clans to convince Blood Butcher that killing him would be costly.
  • Blood Butcher agrees to spare them but demands either Xu Feng’s dagger or several companions as compensation. Xu Feng sacrifices the dagger, then cleverly provokes Blood Butcher into giving him a dark-red token as a “gift.”
  • The group escapes to the surface alive. Later, Xu Feng examines the token and suspects it has an important but unknown purpose.
  • Blood Butcher reveals privately that Xu Feng is surrounded by unusual karmic ties and may be useful in the future.

  • Hidden alliances and karmic connections: Xu Feng’s relationships with Senior Yin, Great Xia, and various ancient clans continue to draw him into increasingly significant encounters.

Ch. 263Chaos before the battle

Key Plot Points and Events

  • District C prepares for an unusually powerful and highly organized Beast Tide approaching Base 8. Existing Level 2 defenses are expected to last no more than three hours, creating an urgent need for reinforcements and upgraded fortifications.

  • Xu Feng selects Zhou Xian, Wang Leng, Dongfang Xu, and Sun Liu as his elite team, requesting SSS-grade weapons and combat suits.
  • Wang Lin returns from wilderness training after breaking through to the mid-tier realm, joining the mission as an additional powerful fighter.
  • Before departing, Xu Feng reassures Lu Fei and gives her an Invisibility Belt and a Spirit Control Token for protection. He warns her that Base 8 may not hold and that he may have to sacrifice his chance of returning in order to delay the Beast Tide.
  • At Outpost No. 4, Xu Feng and Wang Lin oversee the final evacuation. A Swiftshadow Wolf attack has already killed seven soldiers, injured many others, and destroyed supply vehicles, delaying the withdrawal while the Beast Tide’s vanguard approaches.
  • Xu Feng detects and captures a disguised Eagle Alliance spy carrying:
    • A concealed recording device
    • Defensive maps and deployment information
    • Lethal poison
    • A “Gray Falcon” identification plate
  • Under interrogation, the spy reveals that the Eagle Alliance is investigating not only military deployments but also unusual energy fluctuations, possible Ancient Ruins, and awakened exotic beasts.
  • This suggests the Beast Tide may be connected to a deeper conspiracy involving ancient powers, exotic creatures, or the Revival Sect.
  • Xu Feng and Wang Lin capture a second spy, identified by Wang Lin’s ability to sense concealed killing intent. Xu Feng realizes that this spy is not human and may be connected to ancient nonhuman forces.
  • The chapter ends as Xu Feng isolates the suspect and unleashes a Mental Storm to force the truth from him.

Character Developments

  • Xu Feng demonstrates decisive leadership, courage, and tactical intelligence. He willingly accepts a near-suicidal mission to assassinate the Beast Tide’s commander and proves highly effective at identifying infiltrators.
  • Zhang Huan emerges as a forceful and capable commander, coordinating military, intelligence, logistics, engineering, and internal security operations under extreme pressure.
  • Li Tianlang takes responsibility for reinforcing Base 8 and shows confidence in Xu Feng’s abilities.
  • Wang Lin reveals a major breakthrough in strength, reaching the mid-tier realm. His sensitivity to killing intent also gives him a specialized role in detecting hidden enemies.
  • Lu Fei shows deep concern for Xu Feng but remains supportive and practical, agreeing to protect Xiao Dan and manage the family’s safety.
  • Yue Linfei, Yue Changkong, Zhou Xian, and Li Suifeng each contribute to the counterintelligence effort, emphasizing the scale of the internal threat.
  • The captured Eagle Alliance agent quickly collapses under Xu Feng’s pressure, while the nonhuman spy displays extraordinary calm and apparent indifference to death.

Significant Themes

  • Crisis and mobilization: The approaching Beast Tide forces District C to function as a single war machine, with every department and soldier assigned a role.
  • Threats from within and without: The military faces simultaneous danger from the Beast Tide, assassins, foreign spies, and possibly an infiltrating Alien Race.
  • Duty and sacrifice: Xu Feng accepts a mission with extremely low odds of survival and prepares Lu Fei for the possibility that he may not return.
  • Hidden ancient forces: References to Ancient Ruins, exotic beasts, the Revival Sect, and nonhuman spies suggest that the Beast Tide is part of a much larger mystery.
  • Appearances versus reality: Spies disguise themselves as ordinary soldiers, while the Beast Tide’s animal behavior conceals organized command. Xu Feng and Wang Lin must rely on psychic perception and instinct rather than appearances.
  • Strength and resolve: Characters repeatedly respond to fear by choosing action—reinforcing defenses, pursuing enemies, or remaining at threatened outposts despite the danger.

Character Interactions

  • Zhang Huan gives Xu Feng direct authority and recognizes him as the only suitable candidate for a deep strike against the Beast Tide’s command unit.

  • Xu Feng and Lu Fei share a tender farewell that highlights their mutual trust and fear of loss.
  • During interrogation, Xu Feng uses psychological pressure while Wang Lin’s sword intent intimidates the nonhuman suspect. Their combined observations uncover evidence that the spy may be tied to ancient or supernatural forces.

Ch. 264The mastermind behind the scenes, the city falls!

Chapter Summary: “The Mastermind, the City Falls!”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Xu Feng interrogates a captured scout through repeated mental attacks and eventually uses Mental Imprint to control him. The scout, Zhou Fen, reveals that he belongs to the Revival Sect.
  • The Revival Sect has established a stronghold in the main range of Wumeng Mountain and is conducting a ritual called the “Holy Awakening.” The Beast Tide is being manipulated as a diversion, allowing the sect to guide the beasts’ movements and conceal the ritual.
  • Xu Feng orders the evacuation of Outpost No. 4 and follows Zhou Fen to a secret meeting. There, Zhou Fen delivers military intelligence to the Third Protector, an early-stage War God of the Revival Sect.
  • By secretly listening to the conversation, Xu Feng learns that the ritual is centered around the Holy Remains and is intended to awaken an entity called the Ancient Ancestor. The Revival Sect believes this being will purify the world and destroy humanity’s strongholds.
  • Xu Feng ambushes the Third Protector, combining Flying Blades, his Mystic Gold Battle Blade, and a Mental Storm. He defeats the War God in less than three seconds, though Zhou Fen is killed by the attack’s aftermath.
  • At Base 8, Xu Feng interrogates the captured protector. The man refuses to cooperate and attempts to activate a soul-based self-destruction restriction. Xu Feng interrupts the attempt and knocks him unconscious, then hands him over to the Special Investigation Team.
  • Roughly fifteen hours later, the Revival Sect and the Alien Race launch a coordinated assault on Base 8. Their goal is not merely to break the defenses but to slaughter enough people to gather the blood and vitality needed for a sacrificial ritual.
  • The beast tide attacks from the front while six Alien Race combatants and six Revival Sect War Gods infiltrate the city from different directions. The four Laser Cannons destroy four Lord Grade siege creatures, but their long cooldown leaves the base vulnerable.
  • Great Xia has only eight War Gods against the enemy’s twelve high-level fighters. Several major defenders, including Li Tianlang, Yue Linfei, Zhou Xian, Wang Lin, Dongfang Xu, and Sun Liu, become locked in difficult battles.
  • Four Revival Sect War Gods attempt to break through toward the Laser Cannons. Xu Feng, acting as the Wind Blade War God, kills one instantly and helps destroy another, prompting the defenders to redeploy their Spirit Control squads.
  • Before Xu Feng can reach the western wall, a massive attack erupts there. The wall is breached, and the chapter ends with the announcement that the western section of Base 8 has fallen.

Character Developments

  • Xu Feng demonstrates increasing ruthlessness, tactical discipline, and confidence. He uses interrogation, deception, stealth, mental attacks, and overwhelming combat power without hesitation.
  • His mastery of combined physical and mental combat is emphasized when he effortlessly defeats the Third Protector, exploiting the opponent’s momentary distraction.
  • Xu Feng also shows responsibility as a commander by prioritizing evacuation, reporting intelligence, and attempting to protect Base 8. He recognizes that the captured protector may be crucial to stopping the ritual.
  • Wang Lin remains a powerful and trusted ally, though even his swordsmanship cannot quickly overcome the enemy’s elite forces.
  • The Third Protector is shown to be fanatically loyal to the Revival Sect. He views humanity as impure and is willing to destroy himself rather than reveal the sect’s secrets.
  • The Revival Sect’s Vice Sect Master emerges as a calculating and bloodthirsty leader. He treats the attack as a sacrificial operation and confidently coordinates with the Alien Race.
  • The defenders of Base 8 display courage and discipline, but their numerical disadvantage and the enemy’s coordinated strategy place them under severe pressure.

Significant Themes

  • Deception and hidden agendas: The Beast Tide is not a natural disaster but a carefully engineered distraction for the Revival Sect’s ritual.
  • Fanaticism and religious extremism: The Revival Sect’s members worship the Ancient Ancestor and willingly sacrifice themselves or others in the name of “purification.”
  • Humanity versus overwhelming forces: Base 8’s defenders rely on technology, fortifications, coordination, and sacrifice while facing seemingly endless beasts and superior enemy numbers.
  • The cost of preparedness: Even with evacuation plans, Laser Cannons, and elite War Gods, the base remains vulnerable when the enemy combines multiple attack methods.
  • Mental control and free will: Xu Feng’s Mental Imprint and the Revival Sect’s soul restrictions raise questions about whether its members act from genuine belief or have been manipulated.
  • Escalating catastrophe: The discovery of the ritual quickly develops into a full-scale assault, showing that the enemy’s true plan is much larger than simply controlling the Beast Tide.

Character Interactions

  • Xu Feng dominates Zhou Fen during interrogation, then uses him as bait to meet the Third Protector.
  • Zhou Fen acts respectfully toward the Third Protector while secretly following Xu Feng’s instructions, creating a tense double deception.
  • The Third Protector reveals the details of the Holy Awakening while speaking with Zhou Fen, unknowingly exposing the sect’s central plan.
  • Xu Feng and Wang Lin cooperate closely during the evacuation and intelligence-gathering operation, with Wang Lin trusting Xu Feng despite concern for his safety.
  • Xu Feng later confronts the captured protector directly, but the man responds with hatred and fanaticism rather than fear or cooperation.
  • During the assault, the Great Xia War Gods divide their forces among multiple enemies, while Xu Feng intervenes decisively at the northern and eastern walls.
  • The chapter concludes with the defenders realizing that their coordinated resistance is failing as the western wall collapses.

Chapter Summary: “Desperate Flight, Ultimate Reversal!”

1. Key Plot Points and Events

  • The beast tide breaks through Base City No. 8’s western wall after the laser cannons and outer defenses are destroyed. Mutated Creatures and Revival Sect forces flood into the city, causing widespread destruction and street battles.
  • Xu Feng arrives and uses his psychic Flying Blades to kill a War God, clear the breach, and force the beasts back outside. He holds the line until engineers establish a second defensive wall.
  • Li Tianlang is nearly killed while fighting a Revival Sect War God and a Lord-level rocky bear alien. Xu Feng intervenes, instantly beheads the Revival Sect traitor, and destroys the alien lord with the Fish Tide Formation.
  • Xu Feng travels across the city, repeatedly rescuing allied War Gods and killing or crippling Revival Sect War Gods and alien lords. His actions reverse the battle and dramatically boost human morale.
  • The Revival Sect’s vice leader, Zhang Yang, a Limit War God, launches a surprise attack and severely injures Xu Feng, reducing him to less than thirty percent of his combat strength.
  • Xu Feng deliberately flees from Base City No. 8, luring Zhang Yang away so the Limit War God cannot return to the battlefield. He uses a Pseudo-Divine Weapon several times to intimidate and injure Zhang Yang, then guides him into the Ancient Ruins of Gold Mark Land.
  • Xu Feng summons Senior Yin by throwing the weapon into the ruins. Senior Yin’s terrifying power immobilizes and devours Zhang Yang, even destroying a hidden entity attempting to escape from Zhang Yang’s body.
  • Xu Feng returns to Base City No. 8 with Ah She. The city has survived, while most of the enemy War Gods and Lord-level aliens have been killed or forced to retreat. The Revival Sect suffers a major defeat.
  • Headquarters initially believes Base 8 has fallen, but learns that Xu Feng survived and that the enemy Limit War God was killed. Xu Feng and the surviving defenders are immediately sent to reinforce Base 7.
  • Base 7 is in far worse condition, with its walls destroyed and the city overrun. Xu Feng helps turn the battle by killing a shadow-panther lord and severely wounding a snake-clan lord.
  • The snake-clan enemy flees toward the city center and calls for the “South King.” A massive gray pillar of decaying energy erupts from the command tower, killing or aging everything it touches.
  • Xu Feng rescues Li Tianlang from the spreading gray light, while two Limit War Gods emerge from the eruption, setting up the next confrontation.

2. Character Developments

  • Xu Feng: Demonstrates overwhelming battlefield effectiveness as a Psychic Master, becoming the decisive force in Base 8’s defense. He shows strategic intelligence by pretending to be helpless, baiting Zhang Yang into the Ancient Ruins, and relying on Senior Yin to eliminate him. Despite severe injuries, Xu Feng prioritizes protecting the cities and his comrades over his own safety.
  • Li Tianlang: Fights stubbornly despite serious injuries and refuses to retreat against both the Revival Sect and alien enemies. His hatred of the human traitors is especially intense. He later sacrifices his own safety to throw Zhou Xian out of the gray light’s path.
  • Zhang Yang: Revealed as the Revival Sect’s vice leader and a powerful Limit War God. Initially confident and predatory, he becomes enraged when Xu Feng repeatedly deceives him. His greed for Xu Feng’s Pseudo-Divine Weapon blinds him to the danger of the Ancient Ruins, ultimately leading to his death.
  • Senior Yin: Establishes himself as an ancient, overwhelmingly powerful entity who casually devours a Limit War God. His humorous demand for better “food” contrasts with his terrifying strength.
  • Human defenders: Their morale shifts from desperation to confidence after Xu Feng’s interventions. The surviving War Gods increasingly trust him as their most effective weapon in critical battles.
  • Ah She: Shows loyalty by attempting to pursue Xu Feng when he is taken by Zhang Yang, though Li Tianlang ultimately sends her back to defend the city.

3. Significant Themes

  • Desperation turning into reversal: The human forces repeatedly appear close to collapse, but decisive actions and cooperation transform losing battles into victories.
  • Strategy over brute strength: Xu Feng cannot defeat Zhang Yang directly, so he wins through deception, endurance, and careful use of terrain and ancient powers.
  • Sacrifice and comradeship: Li Tianlang, Xu Feng, and the other defenders repeatedly risk death to save one another and protect the cities.
  • The danger of arrogance and greed: Zhang Yang’s confidence in his superior strength and desire to seize the Pseudo-Divine Weapon prevent him from recognizing Xu Feng’s trap.
  • Unresolved larger conspiracy: The Revival Sect is involved in the beast tide, but the scale of the invasion suggests that additional forces are coordinating the attack. The true mastermind remains unknown.
  • Escalating warfare: Even after Base 8 survives, the beast tide continues expanding, with nearly 300,000 creatures involved and multiple cities under siege.

4. Character Interactions

  • Headquarters leaders Li Yuanying and the commander recognize Xu Feng’s role in saving Base 8 and plan to repay Senior Yin’s assistance.
  • The chapter ends with Xu Feng, Li Tianlang, and the defenders facing two newly revealed Limit War Gods at Base 7, while the larger beast-tide crisis continues.

Ch. 269Rotwater [Bonus chapter for monthly votes]

Chapter Summary: Rotwater

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Xu Feng discovers that Shi Yong, an apparently ordinary member of the traveling group, is actually an outer operative of the assassin organization Rotwater. Shi Yong had been ordered to track Xu Feng and confirm his whereabouts.
  • Xu Feng ambushes Shi Yong in the Qin Mountains using overwhelming mental pressure, searches him, and finds a communicator, poisons, and concealed weapons.
  • Through mental interrogation, Xu Feng learns that his recent accomplishments—and the belief that he schemed to kill the Limit War God—have placed him tenth on Rotwater’s assassination list, with a bounty of twenty billion dollars. Rotwater has monitored him since he entered Base No. 3.
  • Rather than kill Shi Yong, Xu Feng cripples, restrains, and hides him, then sends his location to his master’s wife. He realizes that Rotwater, alongside the mutant beasts and Revival Sect, represents another threat operating in the shadows.
  • Seeking allies, Xu Feng returns to the hidden valley of the Cloud Rabbit Clan. He approaches peacefully and presents them with high-quality A-grade alloy bows, arrows, healing potions, antidotes, vitality-restoring medicines, and medical supplies.
  • The gifts are especially valuable because they complement the Cloud Rabbit Clan’s natural strengths as fast, ranged fighters. Their traditional equipment is crude, consisting mainly of bone arrows and stone tools, so Xu Feng’s supplies could dramatically increase the clan’s combat strength.
  • Xu Feng explains that he wants a mutually beneficial alliance, not control over the clan. He promises assistance from himself and Great Xia, offers fair or generous exchanges for the clan’s herbs and minerals, and assures them they need not publicly favor humanity.
  • Over several visits, Xu Feng builds trust by bringing additional medicine, teaching basic medical treatment, and sparring with the clan’s powerful members. He forms friendships with several Beast Generals and two Lord Grade experts.
  • On his fourth visit, First Elder Yun Song officially agrees to a secret alliance. Xu Feng will serve as the clan’s Spirit Communicator, and the Cloud Rabbit Clan will exchange resources with humanity while supporting one another.
  • Yun Song reveals the reason the clan has been under threat: four hundred years earlier, they discovered the hidden Bloodslaughter Treasury, an ancient ruin associated with the legendary Blood Butcher. The Qinling Tiger Clan and the Zhu? Clan, once allies of the Cloud Rabbits, betrayed them and have spent centuries trying to learn the treasury’s location.
  • The situation has recently worsened, with the hostile clans resorting to murder and intimidation. Xu Feng recognizes the significance of the treasury, which reportedly opens once every five hundred years, and asks Yun Song to explain its importance.

Character Developments

  • Xu Feng demonstrates greater caution and strategic awareness after uncovering Rotwater’s surveillance. He remains confident but recognizes that increasing enemies make reliable allies essential.
  • He displays restraint by sparing Shi Yong, choosing to use him for intelligence rather than revenge.
  • Xu Feng also develops as a diplomat. Instead of demanding loyalty from the Cloud Rabbit Clan, he earns their trust through practical aid, respect, and assurances of autonomy.
  • His relationship with the Cloud Rabbit Clan shifts from cautious contact to genuine friendship and alliance. Yun Song begins by addressing him formally as “Mr. Xu” but eventually calls him “Brother Xu.”
  • Yun Song struggles between protecting his clan’s independence and accepting outside help. The quality of Xu Feng’s gifts, the worsening external threats, and his clan’s desire for reform eventually convince him to abandon the clan’s isolationist position.
  • Yun Feng, previously distrustful of Xu Feng, is visibly moved by the sincerity and value of the assistance.
  • Ah Kun and Kong Kong provide lighter moments as they playfully compete while also reinforcing the Cloud Rabbit Clan’s awe toward Ah Kun’s Lord Grade presence.

Significant Themes

  • Trust and alliance-building: Xu Feng proves that durable alliances are created through mutual benefit, respect, and consistent action rather than coercion.
  • Survival in a dangerous world: The Cloud Rabbit Clan can no longer remain isolated while powerful factions surround them. Cooperation becomes necessary in the face of growing threats.
  • Modern technology versus traditional limitations: Human-made weapons, medicines, and medical knowledge offer the Cloud Rabbit Clan tools that greatly improve its ability to defend itself.
  • The burden of reputation: Xu Feng’s achievements have made him famous and wealthy targets now seek his death, showing that power attracts both allies and enemies.
  • Old grudges and betrayal: The Bloodslaughter Treasury destroyed former alliances and created centuries of hostility between the Cloud Rabbits, Qinling Tigers, and Zhu? Clan.
  • Change versus outdated tradition: Yun Song acknowledges that the clan’s refusal to reform has weakened it, and that alliance with humanity may provide a chance for peace and development.

Character Interactions

  • Xu Feng interrogates Shi Yong through mental force, uncovering Rotwater’s involvement.
  • Xu Feng approaches the Cloud Rabbit warriors peacefully, while they initially greet him with drawn bows and suspicion.
  • He exchanges formal but increasingly warm dialogue with Yun Song and Yun Feng, presenting the gifts as evidence of goodwill.
  • Xu Feng reassures Yun Song that the alliance will not force the Cloud Rabbit Clan to publicly support humanity or abandon its independence.
  • His friendly behavior toward the clan, medical instruction, and sparring sessions strengthen his relationships with its warriors and elders.
  • Yun Song ultimately bows to Xu Feng in recognition of the alliance, and the two adopt a brotherly form of address.
  • The chapter ends with Xu Feng learning about the Bloodslaughter Treasury and preparing to investigate why it is so valuable and why rival clans are willing to threaten the Cloud Rabbit Clan for its secret.

Chapter 266: “Favoritism” — Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Xu Feng learns the truth behind the Bloodslaughter Treasury from Elder Yun Song of the Cloud Rabbit Clan.
  • The treasury is not merely a storehouse of treasure but a series of inheritance trials created by Blood Butcher, an ancient Moon God-level powerhouse.
  • It may contain:
    • Blood Butcher’s inheritance
    • A fragment of his Moon God-level divine weapon
    • A drop of his essence blood
  • The Tiger Clan and Zhu? Clan are pressuring the Cloud Rabbit Clan because they want this power to elevate their races and establish long-term dominance.
  • Xu Feng realizes that Blood Butcher’s token may give him an advantage within the treasury, while the Cloud Rabbit Clan knows the location of its entrance.
  • He proposes relocating the entire Cloud Rabbit Clan near the Human Race’s base for protection and cooperation. Yun Song is tempted but hesitant because relocation would mean abandoning the clan’s ancestral homeland and trusting former enemies.

Blue-Silver Entanglement

Boar Charge

Raging Tide
