Yang Yong swallowed the Finger Bone, but a dormant force inside him subdued it, and his released Evil Eye and White-Bone Giant were forced into balance by the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace. He freed Yezi from the branches, but as her woodification worsened, the furnace drew her, the Three-Yang God-Sealing Banner, and the vines inside.

• Yang Yong swallowed the Finger Bone, which was driven into his right index finger by a more powerful presence and spread bone armor over his right side.
• Yang Yong removed the Nine Nether Yuanchen White Bone Ring, releasing the Evil Eye and awakening the Evil Eye Lord and White-Bone Giant inside him.
• The Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace appeared in Yang Yong's spiritual platform and forced the two Sources of Eerie to keep to opposite sides of his body.
• Yang Yong used the Evil Eye and his bone-armored hand to destroy the branches impaling Yezi and pull them from her body.
• Yang Yong found Yezi nearly fully woodified, with the last green trace over her heart fading.
• The Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace drew in the Three-Yang God-Sealing Banner, Yezi, the Climbing Vines, and the severed branches as a notification sounded in Yang Yong's mind.

Yang Yong harvested evil ghosts and severed roots with the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace to gather energy for saving Yezi, while Cao Xianming urged everyone to flee before the Netherworld Ancient Tree fully awakened. The survivors began escaping as Yang Yong woke nearby Sequence Transcendents and set them against the surrounding dangers.

• The Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace told Yang Yong that making Yezi the fourth main soul of the Six-Yang God-Sealing Banner required Eerie energy.
• Yang Yong expanded the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace and sucked in thousands of evil ghosts, along with some people caught in the illusion.
• Yang Yong used the Heavenly Dragon Slash’s flying knives to wound and awaken people around him, while Cao Xianming declared that the ancient tree had not fully awakened and ordered everyone to flee.
• Wang Ying severed the tree roots blocking the vehicles, and Yang Yong pulled the roots into the furnace before they could be reclaimed.
• Yang Yong’s Demoness Pickup Truck charged away as he continued waking Sequence Transcendents, who saw skeletons devouring people around them.

Yang Yong and the other Sequence Transcendents fought through a forest domain filled with rising skeletons as they tried to escape. After Yang Yong stored Wang Ying’s abandoned vehicle in his space, the fleeing survivors realized he had a rare Space Curio and began to take note of him; a special person then reached the vans at the rear of the convoy.

• Sequence Transcendents woke under attack from skeletons and evil spirits, then fought back as more crawled from the soil.
• Yang Yong and his group drove toward safety while other Sequence Transcendents followed using abilities including flight, shapeshifting, and summoning a Golden-Armored Deity.
• Three Sequence Transcendents abandoned Wang Ying’s Off-Road Vehicle when it ran out of gas.
• Wang Ying told Yang Yong to put her vehicle away, and Yang Yong stored it in his space.
• The fleeing Sequence Transcendents recognized Yang Yong’s space as a rare Space Curio and some began memorizing his appearance.
• A special person arrived at the vans at the rear of the convoy.

As the convoy fled through a sea of attacking roots, a mysterious woman joined Liu Hong’s van and used conjured liquid fuel to restart it and Qi Peiliang’s Off-Road Vehicle. Qi Peiliang’s vehicle accelerated ahead, while he continued using Danger Sense to find gaps in the surrounding Eerie.

• Liu Hong’s van ran out of fuel while roots attacked, leaving the convoy at risk of being overtaken.
• A woman riding a severed root reached Liu Hong’s van and made pale yellow liquid that worked as gasoline, allowing Skinny Monkey to restart the engine.
• The woman stayed on the van’s roof and slowed attacking roots with water arrows that froze their surfaces.
• Qi Peiliang’s Off-Road Vehicle could only reach thirty miles per hour and blocked the van’s path.
• The woman made more liquid fuel for Qi Peiliang’s vehicle, which restarted and accelerated beyond sixty miles per hour.
• Qi Peiliang wondered what Sequence the woman belonged to, then focused on driving while using Danger Sense to locate gaps in the Eerie around them.

The Survival Convoy fought through the Netherworld Ancient Tree’s sea of trees while Cao Xianming searched for a way out. As Yang Yong warned that a group of Sequence Transcendents was attacking the tree’s trunk and could fully awaken it, he asked Old Cao whether they would then face the ancient tree at full strength.

• Cao Xianming used his Data Model to guide the Demoness Pickup Truck toward a weak point while Yang Yong and Wang Ying cleared roots and collected the remains.
• Yang Yong’s body transformed as Evil Eyes spread across his left side and white bone armor covered his right, while Wang Ying watched with concern.
• Yang Yong called for the other Sequence Transcendents to follow the Survival Convoy and escape, and some joined them while others chose their own routes.
• A group of Sequence Transcendents urged others to attack the Netherworld Ancient Tree’s trunk, and their numbers grew as they charged toward it.
• Yang Yong warned Old Cao over the radio that the attack could awaken the ancient tree completely.

Cao Xianming led the Survival Convoy toward a fleeting weak point while the Netherworld Ancient Tree awakened and destroyed the Decapitation Squad and scattered survivors. The convoy reached the weak point, only to find a massive wall of intertwined trees blocking their path, and Wang Ying struck it with Sky-Splitting Slash.

• Cao Xianming told Yang Yong to ignore the Decapitation Squad, predicting that their attack on the Netherworld Ancient Tree would create an opening for the Survival Convoy.
• The Netherworld Ancient Tree fully awakened, and its enormous roots engulfed the Decapitation Squad as it reached the trunk.
• Cao Xianming spotted a brief weak point, and Yang Yong drove the Demoness Pickup Truck and the Survival Convoy toward it at full speed.
• The ancient tree's aura immobilized and consumed scattered Sequence Transcendents while the Survival Convoy raced to escape.
• The convoy plunged through the weak point and encountered a solid wall of tightly packed trees, which Wang Ying attacked with Sky-Splitting Slash.

The convoy failed to break through the Netherworld Ancient Tree’s regenerating tree wall and discovered that more than a thousand people, including the missing Decapitation Squad, had been turned into puppets. As the puppets attacked and panic spread, a flying puppet crossed the defenders’ line and charged at the motionless Yang Yong.

• Liu Hong and the others attacked the tree wall, but it rapidly grew back and erased their progress.
• The Netherworld Ancient Tree raised a root bearing over a thousand human puppets, and Cao Xianming and Qi Peiliang identified them as people transformed into Eerie.
• Cao Xianming marked a target on the tree wall, and the convoy’s combined attacks broke through seven layers but could not overcome the wall’s regeneration.
• The convoy’s morale collapsed as the transformed people advanced, adapted to their puppet bodies, and began running and flying toward them.
• The Monk and the Taoist fought off incoming puppets, while the Taoist exposed a hidden attacker with a Thunder Talisman.
• A winged puppet crossed the defensive line and charged at the motionless Yang Yong.

Wang Ying and the Transcendents discovered that the Root Puppets could be killed by severing their feet, weakening the Netherworld Ancient Tree as they fought. While Wang Ying battled a powerful puppet and Yang Yong prepared a trump card, Mang Dabiao stopped a stealthy attacker and revealed a gigantic blade.

• Wang Ying beheaded five flying puppets, but they regrew from their necks until Cao Xianming urged everyone to attack their feet.
• Wang Ying severed the puppets' feet, causing their bodies to wither, and Cao Xianming explained that their regeneration drained energy from the Netherworld Ancient Tree.
• A muscular Root Puppet challenged Wang Ying, forcing her into a fierce blade fight while Yang Yong continued preparing his move.
• A stealthy woman tried to stab Yang Yong, but Mang Dabiao pierced her chest with his tail and coiled himself around Yang Yong to protect him.
• As Root Puppets swarmed the truck, Mang Dabiao revealed a tiny blade that expanded into a forty-meter weapon wreathed in dark flames.

Mang Dabiao used his blade to kill the root puppets permanently while Yang Yong gathered power for a devastating attack. Yang Yong blasted through dozens of tree walls but failed to break through them, then summoned the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace.

• Mang Dabiao baited the root puppets into swarming around the Demoness Pickup Truck and killed nearly a hundred with one swing of his Evil-Slaying Blade.
• The blade's dark flames burned the puppets down to their roots, forcing the survivors to flee and leaving Mang Dabiao's area free of attackers.
• Yang Yong gathered the power of his parasitic Evil Eyes and practiced the White-Bone Giant's Heaven-Breaking Strike while Wang Ying, Mang Dabiao, and Zheng Xiaofeng protected him.
• Yang Yong unleashed a blinding attack that blasted through at least forty or fifty layers of tree walls, but a green glow remained deeper inside.
• Yang Yong summoned the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace from his body.

Yang Yong used a fire-enhanced punch to break open a massive spatial rift in the tree wall, giving the trapped convoys a chance to escape. The Survival Convoy and many others made it through, but the opening began closing before the distant groups could reach it.

• Yang Yong punched the tree wall with his bone-armored, flame-wreathed fist and tore open a spatial rift.
• The collapsing space swallowed the tree wall as Yang Yong’s flames held back its regrowth, and he shouted for everyone to charge.
• The Demoness Pickup Truck, a winged birdman, a bicycle rider, and the other evacuees raced through the breach while Root Puppets stood inert.
• Convoys that had been attacking elsewhere changed course and raced toward the opening, while others remained too far away to reach it in time.
• After the Survival Convoy passed through, Yang Yong released control of the flames, and the tree wall’s shoots began closing the breach.

Several convoys failed to escape through the closing tree wall, and Root Puppets overwhelmed those left behind. Yang Yong’s convoy got out, but he collapsed from exhaustion, and Cao Xianming warned that the tree might pursue them.

• Sequence Transcendents abandoned the ordinary people in the stranded convoys and rushed toward the shrinking opening in the tree wall.
• Three Sequence Transcendents escaped, but the fourth was caught and absorbed when the opening sealed; Root Puppets then swarmed the survivors.
• The Demoness Pickup Truck burst through the tree wall, and Mang Dabiao caught Yang Yong as he collapsed from exhaustion.
• Monk and Taoist examined Yang Yong, while Wang Ying said his foundations seemed undamaged and warned Zhu Yuhao not to touch his living eyes.
• Cao Xianming warned over the radio that the tree might chase them and told everyone to prepare to flee; then the ground trembled.

The Netherworld Ancient Tree pursued the Survival Convoy as it expanded its domain, and Cao Xianming calculated that their only chance was to flee northwest. The convoy followed him toward an unnatural fog and an unknown presence even more dangerous than the tree.

• The Netherworld Ancient Tree extended its roots and branch toward the convoy, expanding its Tree Sea Domain and locking onto them.
• Cao Xianming used his Data Model to find a single route to survive and ordered the convoy southwest, toward the northwest overall.
• Wang Ying killed two Sequence Transcendents who eyed the convoy and her with greed.
• Cao Xianming saw the gray-white fog ahead and realized something beyond his calculations waited there.
• Cao Xianming abruptly turned his vehicle northwest, and the rest of the convoy followed.

The Survival Convoy turned northwest toward a dead-end tunnel while others fled south, trusting Cao Xianming to find a way out. A Pathfinder’s Blood Path Guidance confirmed the tunnel as their chance of survival, but the pursuing Tree Sea Domain was already less than five hundred meters from its entrance.

• The Survival Convoy turned back toward a tunnel as other vehicles and Sequence Transcendents argued over whether to follow or keep fleeing south.
• A Sequence Transcendent on a bus tried to seize the vehicle, and Wang Ying killed him with a single strike before warning the others off.
• The convoy approached a tunnel whose far exit was sealed by a collapsed mountainside, leaving Wang Ying and the others wondering why Cao Xianming had led them there.
• A blood-red road appeared in the sky, wavered, then pointed toward the tunnel as Blood Path Guidance revealed it as a route to possible survival.
• The Sequence Transcendents who had run away turned back toward the blood path, but the Tree Sea Domain had already spread to within five hundred meters of the tunnel entrance.

The Survival Convoy escaped into the tunnel just before the blood path and entrance vanished, leaving Fang Hao and the others outside to be killed by the fully awakened Netherworld Ancient Tree. Inside, the convoy survived but had no idea where the endless tunnel led until Cao Xianming ordered everyone to stop.

• The Survival Convoy and the other vehicles rushed into the tunnel, but the entrance disappeared before Fang Hao and two other fast Sequence Transcendents could reach it.
• Fang Hao punched into the mountainside trying to find the tunnel, but the Tree Sea Domain surrounded him and dragged him underground.
• The Netherworld Ancient Tree used roots and vines to trap and kill the remaining people outside the tunnel.
• The Survival Convoy continued through the dark tunnel, unaware of the deaths outside and uncertain where it led.
• Cao Xianming suddenly ordered everyone to stop over the radio.

The Survival Convoy stopped in a dark tunnel, and Cao Xianming ordered everyone to turn off their lights, shut their eyes, and remain silent. A Sequence Three guide on a bus behind them sensed that an Eerie was approaching and warned his passengers that there were many.

• The convoys and survivors stopped when Cao Xianming's vehicle halted in the tunnel, while Wang Ying's presence kept the angry crowd from approaching.
• Cao Xianming ordered the Survival Convoy to turn off its headlights, close their eyes, and stay silent without explaining why.
• The Sequence Three guide on the spiked bus hesitated, then ordered his passengers to obey Cao Xianming and told Liu to kill anyone who made a sound.
• The guide said an Eerie was approaching, then listened and revealed that many were coming.

The captain warned that the tunnel was a passage into the Eerie world and ordered everyone to blindfold themselves and stay silent. When a young man cried out, the Eerie attacked him, leaving the convoy frozen in darkness as the sounds of him being devoured faded.

• The captain identified the tunnel as a possible passage between worlds and told the convoy that Rule-Type Eerie might be approaching.
• The captain and the others covered their eyes and mouths, and the vehicles behind them followed by switching off their lights and falling silent.
• Wang Ying kept her eyes shut as the Eerie drifted through the tunnel, brushing icy, itching sleeves across her face and hands.
• A young man in the Demoness Pickup Truck's bed cried out when something licked the back of his neck.
• The Eerie rushed toward the young man and devoured him while the people in the tunnel remained motionless and silent.

The Survival Convoy endured the Eerie passing through the tunnel and resisted their attempts to lure people into speaking or opening their eyes. After the voices finally stopped, Yang Yong woke and quietly asked Wang Ying what had happened.

• The Eerie moved through the tunnel, and people who made sounds were devoured as screams turned into chewing.
• A voice imitating Cao Xianming told the convoy to open their eyes, but Wang Ying warned everyone not to move.
• The Eerie mimicked Wang Che and pleaded with Wang Ying to save him, but she held back from answering.
• The Eerie cycled through loved ones’ voices, threats, and cries for help, while the convoy stayed silent even after the voices stopped.
• Yang Yong woke, saw everyone remaining motionless, and whispered to Wang Ying to ask what was happening.

After Eerie killed everyone who made a sound, Cao Xianming ordered the convoys to retreat from the tunnel, warning that it led to another world inhabited by Eerie. As the retreat began, he had Wang Ying use two bone whips to bind the Survival Convoy’s vehicles together, leaving the others baffled.

• The survivors found that the people who had made sounds during the Eerie’s passage had vanished, leaving foul-smelling residue behind.
• Cao Xianming ordered the convoys to reverse out of the tunnel and revealed that its depths opened into another world.
• A Sequence Three guide explained that the tunnel belonged to the Eerie, and a man who challenged Cao Xianming was thrown out of his convoy.
• Cao Xianming told Wang Ying to collect Yang Yong’s and Mang Dabiao’s bone whips.
• Cao Xianming used the bone whips to link the Survival Convoy’s vehicles together as they backed up.

Cao Xianming led the Survival Convoy out of the living tunnel by keeping every vehicle connected and moving at the same speed. They emerged safely onto a vast grassland, leaving Shanghai behind as the tunnel vanished.

• Cao Xianming warned the convoy that the tunnel was likely an Eerie connecting two worlds and that its exit shifted constantly.
• Cao Xianming explained that the bone whips and matched speeds would prevent the vehicles from being scattered across the world.
• Cao Xianming ordered everyone to reverse steadily and focus on the vehicle ahead as the tunnel distorted and tried to pull them back inside.
• The Survival Convoy endured the tunnel's suction and whispers, then crossed its boundary together into bright daylight.
• The convoy found itself on an endless grassland, and the tunnel and the other people who had exited earlier were gone.
• Cao Xianming smiled and murmured that he had finally gotten out of Shanghai.

After the convoy settled in for the night, Yang Yong struggled with the Evil Eye Lord and White-Bone Giant fighting inside his body, then woke beneath the Blood Moon and discovered Yezi was missing from the Ten-Thousand-Forging Primordial Furnace. The chapter left him staring in alarm at the Three-Yang God-Sealing Banner.

• Qi Peiliang checked the ground for Eerie presence, and the convoy decided to camp with 204 people.
• Yang Yong examined his corrupted face and endured the Evil Eye Lord and White-Bone Giant battling inside him, which also helped heal his wounds.
• Cao Xianming told Lao Zhang to follow the ration rules, and Yang Yong produced a large pile of rice for the convoy.
• Yang Yong fell asleep in the Demoness Pickup Truck and woke beneath a huge Blood Moon to eat the food left for him.
• Yang Yong heard the Ten-Thousand-Forging Primordial Furnace still working, found Yezi's consciousness absent, and turned to the Three-Yang God-Sealing Banner in alarm.

Yang Yong discovered that Yezi’s soul had become the fourth main soul of the Four-Yang God-Sealing Banner, while the Ten-Thousand-Forging Primordial Furnace consumed his supernatural power to forge a mysterious seed. At the Survival Convoy’s bonfire, he met an all-women convoy whose immaculate appearance made him suspect something was wrong.

• Yang Yong found that Yezi’s soul had advanced the Three-Yang God-Sealing Banner into the Four-Yang God-Sealing Banner, and he discovered a marked black seed inside the furnace.
• Yang Yong placed the furnace in the pickup truck’s bed beneath the Blood Moon, but it continued draining his supernatural power as it worked on the seed.
• Yang Yong wore a black robe and ghost-face mask to approach the bonfire, startling the crowd before they recognized his voice.
• Yang Yong removed his mask, prompting several people to scream, while Wang Ying said his altered face looked fine.
• Yang Yong noticed unfamiliar women at the bonfire, saw that they were exceptionally beautiful and immaculately dressed, and began suspecting their appearance was unnatural.

At the bonfire, Yang Yong realized that a visiting tribe of women was being controlled by a mysterious short woman who could command their livestock and compel them to approach the Survival Convoy’s men. He stayed back to watch as Doctor Zhu Yuhao was approached by one of the women.

• Zheng Xiaofeng told Yang Yong that the women had arrived to trade livestock and that the convoy had exchanged goods for lamb.
• Yang Yong noticed the sheep were unnaturally silent and saw that they moved in unison when the short woman raised her hand.
• Yang Yong suspected the short woman had an unusual Beast Tamer ability and exchanged a knowing look with Wang Ying.
• The women sang and approached the convoy’s men, while Yang Yong hid in the shadows and observed their fearful, pleading expressions.
• Yang Yong saw the short woman’s cold glance make a woman force a smile and lead Mang Dabiao toward the bonfire.
• Yang Yong caught a faint sweet scent and remained where he was as Doctor Zhu Yuhao was blocked by a pretty woman with braided hair.

Yang Yong and Cao Xianming observed the women at the bonfire, while Cao secretly gathered information from Xiaofang. After the women retired, the iPad showed Cao an image of the short woman ruling over kneeling women, revealing that they were a female-supremacist tribe.

• Yang Yong watched Cao Xianming charm Xiaofang with a show of interest as he covertly studied her stories for clues.
• Yang Yong returned to his spot and opened another aperture on the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace.
• Cao counted twenty-three yurts as the women settled in, then returned to his tent and activated the iPad.
• The iPad showed the short woman seated above kneeling women in an image of submission.
• Cao concluded that the women were not a convoy but a female-supremacist tribe.

Cao Xianming's calculations found nothing wrong with the neighboring women's trades, but his Transcendent's intuition warned him to keep the convoy away from them. He realized their smiles at the bonfire had seemed to cut off unnaturally, though he could not recall what their lower faces looked like.

• Cao Xianming emerged exhausted after spending the night analyzing the women's offers and found that every model made them seem reasonable.
• The convoy's women teased Cao Xianming about spending the night with one of the visitors and eyed him with jealousy and desire.
• Lao Zhang told Cao Xianming that the convoy had eaten half its food reserves at the bonfire and wanted to trade for more mutton.
• Cao Xianming warned Lao Zhang and Yang Yong to cut off contact with the women because his Transcendent's intuition sensed danger.
• Cao Xianming recalled that the women's smiles at the bonfire had abruptly stopped at angles beyond the firelight, and he could not remember what their lower faces had looked like.

Cao Xianming and Yang Yong suspected the women at the neighboring camp were hiding something, so they watched them as they opened a trading fair. Yang Yong found Skinny Monkey tending a stall for He Jing, but the chapter left the stall’s purpose unexplained.

• Cao Xianming told Yang Yong to watch the women, especially the short girl who raised sheep, after he recognized the women’s and Lao Zhang’s expressions of desire.
• Yang Yong summoned Mang Dabiao to inspect the women, but Mang Dabiao could find nothing unusual and went to keep watch on them.
• The women silently set up a trading fair and offered healthy, ordinary-looking sheep, while Yang Yong saw no obvious sign that anything was wrong.
• Yang Yong visited Cao Xianming’s stall and noticed that its marine Curio Materials were priced so highly that Cao Xianming seemed to be baiting potential traders.
• Yang Yong found Skinny Monkey tending a stall named He Jing that displayed bottles of colored liquids, and Skinny Monkey confirmed it belonged to Lord He Jing.
