Ch. 726Everyone! Right now! Immediately! Pack up! Get in the vehicles! Retreat!

Yang Yong forced the remaining Red Blessing members to surrender and ordered his group to retreat as an ancient presence began awakening beneath the mountain forest. The group hurried into their vehicles, while the source of the danger remained unknown.

  • Yang Yong threatened the Red Blessing captives, collected their surrendered weapons, and told Long Ya to seize useful supplies.

  • Yang Yong put the remaining captives into the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace and told the White-Clothed Love Letter Ghost to interrogate them.
  • Jiang Meng used a loudspeaker to order everyone to pack up and get into the vehicles, and the group prepared to flee as Yang Yong watched the forest.

Ch. 727If We Don't Run Now, When Will We?

Yang Yong led the survivors west in a convoy after Jiang Meng's divination pointed toward the danger they had fled. As they escaped, Brother Biao decided to abandon the group and seize the chance to run.

  • Yang Yong asked Jiang Meng to divine an escape route, and the seven grains indicated they should go west, toward the awakening presence.
  • Yang Yong summoned the Demoness Pickup Truck, and it drove itself ahead while the other survivors followed in vehicles taken from the Red Blessing Rescue Team.
  • Jiang Meng drove the cargo truck carrying Long Ya, Zhang Dongyun, and the fourteen brats behind the convoy.
  • Several survivors in the off-road vehicles began plotting to break away after Red Blessing's people were gone.
  • Brother Biao urged his companions to flee, saying they should escape now rather than return to life in the Hundred Beasts Convoy.

Ch. 728Ah!!! My ear!!!

Brother Biao abandoned Yang Yong’s convoy, but after his group discovered that Liu Yan was a girl, he stopped to prey on her. Liu Yan bit off a man’s ear and escaped from the vehicle.

  • Brother Biao and several drivers secretly slowed down, then turned away from Yang Yong’s convoy once it disappeared from sight.
  • A frightened passenger warned Brother Biao that they had no Sequence Transcendence protection, but the men discovered the passenger was Liu Yan, disguised as a boy.
  • Brother Biao stopped the vehicle, and Liu Yan realized he and the other men meant to harm her.
  • Liu Yan bit off the front passenger’s ear, then shoved the door open and tumbled out while the men were stunned.

Ch. 729This one was interesting

Liu Yan escaped Brother Biao and his men until Yang Yong arrived and rescued her with the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace. As the Demoness Pickup Truck sped onward, Yang Yong sensed a dangerous presence awakening behind them and let the fleeing men scout its path.

  • Liu Yan fled Brother Biao and his two companions, but exhaustion brought her down and a thrown rock broke her right arm.
  • As Liu Yan prepared to take her own life rather than be captured, Yang Yong's furnace appeared and sent the three men fleeing.
  • Yang Yong asked Liu Yan's name, pulled her into the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace, and placed her in the Demoness Pickup Truck.
  • Yang Yong sensed a growing danger behind the truck and watched the fleeing men drive toward it, intending to use them to scout the route.

Ch. 730Fuck! What the Hell!

Yang Yong and the others fled from an unseen force that was secretly steering five vehicles toward a terrifying aura. Brother Biao’s group was drawn into a vast creature’s path, and the chapter ended as a thousand-meter-tall monster made of human heads emerged through shattered space.

  • Yang Yong realized that an invisible influence was redirecting the five fleeing vehicles, and he ordered the Demoness Pickup Truck to accelerate.
  • Jiang Meng struggled to keep the overloaded truck moving while Long Ya and the children sensed the presence closing in behind them.
  • A wave of supernatural cold nearly froze Jiang Meng and unnerved Yang Yong as he saw the five vehicles line up behind Brother Biao’s.
  • Brother Biao tried to slow his vehicle, but it accelerated uncontrollably, and its doors would not open.
  • Space shattered before Brother Biao and his companions, revealing a colossal, centipede-like being composed of hundreds of human heads.

Ch. 731No! No! Don't! Brother Biao! Save me! Brother Biao...

Yang Yong recognized that a human-headed centipede had lured five vehicles to it and fled at full speed, judging that its many preserved abilities made a direct fight too dangerous. The centipede caught and devoured the people in the vehicles while Yang Yong escaped, vowing to return stronger and turn its heads into fuel for his Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace.

  • Yang Yong realized that the centipede’s lowest head had controlled the five vehicles’ drivers and that its other heads might retain dozens of Sequence abilities.
  • Yang Yong ordered the Demoness Pickup Truck to accelerate, deciding to retreat and survive until he could grow stronger.
  • The five vehicles stopped beneath the centipede, whose pale hands dragged their passengers out and toward its heads.
  • The woman’s head smiled at Brother Biao and slowly bit him apart as the other passengers were seized.

Ch. 732If You Have Any Abilities, Use Them Now. Keep Them Hidden, and You'll Be the Ones Waiting to Die

Yang Yong’s convoy fled from the Man-Faced Centipede, but the creature’s detached Head Monsters pursued them as the road trapped them in a loop. With the monsters closing in and no one offering a way out, Yang Yong ordered the convoy to stop and the boys to get out and pee beside the road.

  • Brother Biao died as the Man-Faced Centipede’s heads tore into him and fought over his body.
  • The Man-Faced Centipede broke apart, and its human heads detached into hundreds of crawling Head Monsters that turned toward Yang Yong’s convoy when the food ran out.
  • Yang Yong ordered the convoy to speed up, and the vehicles raced away from the monsters for five minutes.
  • Yang Yong recognized the same rock and roadside landmarks, realizing the convoy was driving in circles while the Head Monsters caught up behind them.
  • Yang Yong demanded that anyone with an ability reveal it, then ordered the convoy to stop and the boys to get out and pee beside the road.

Ch. 733Look over there

Yang Yong concluded that a human-head centipede was trapping them in looping space, but he could find no clue or contact his companions. Zhang Dongyun then stepped forward and pointed toward the distance.

  • Yang Yong confirmed the roadside scene was not a Ghost Wall and searched the approaching human-head monsters for one retaining special abilities.
  • Yang Yong recognized that the centipede’s looping-space effect and assimilation of the living resembled the Corpse Mass Monster, but the dormant Nine Nether Yuanchen White Bone Ring did not respond.
  • Yang Yong asked over the radio for anything unusual, but no one had noticed a clue, and his attempt to contact Mang Dabiao also failed.
  • Zhang Dongyun offered to try, walked to the front of the group, and pointed into the distance, telling everyone to look there.

Ch. 734Jiang Meng, Old Lady Zhang, Long Ya, and... What's-Your-Name, Watch the Convoy

Zhang Dongyun revealed that a bald-headed monster retained enough consciousness to ask Yang Yong to kill it, and warned that the human-faced centipede could only be killed if every section was destroyed. Yang Yong left Jiang Meng, Zhang Dongyun, Long Ya, and the unnamed companion to guard the convoy, then rode toward the bald head while fending off the leaping monsters.

  • Zhang Dongyun identified the bald head's living ability as folding space and sensed that it still wanted to die.
  • Zhang Dongyun explained that her Underworld Walking ability let her communicate with benevolent Eerie, and said the bald man had asked Yang Yong to kill him.
  • Zhang Dongyun warned that the human-faced centipede would survive if even one section escaped, so every section and head had to be destroyed.
  • Yang Yong told Jiang Meng, Zhang Dongyun, Long Ya, and the unnamed companion to watch the convoy, then rode the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace toward the bald head to break the spatial lockdown.
  • Hundreds of head monsters redirected their attack toward Yang Yong, who used the Heavenly Dragon Slash to shoot them down while saving the furnace's devouring power for the bald head.

Ch. 735Art Is an Explosion!

Yang Yong fought through the human-headed monsters and used the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace to swallow most of the Man-Faced Centipede's remaining body. He escaped an overwhelming counterattack with an explosion and wondered whether he had broken the spatial lockdown.

  • Yang Yong endured psychic and other Sequence attacks from the human-headed monsters, then used the furnace's speed to reach the centipede's remaining body.
  • Yang Yong opened the furnace and sucked in most of the centipede's body, but the monsters redirected their attacks toward him.
  • A bald human-headed monster caused the centipede's remaining body to split, leaving a small segment outside the furnace's reach.
  • Yang Yong threw an Iron-Plate Token, triggering a massive explosion, and the furnace teleported him away.
  • Yang Yong praised the Flame Rune token's power and questioned whether the explosion had broken the spatial lockdown.

Ch. 736There Were Actually People in This Service Area?

Yang Yong led the convoy away from the Man-Faced Centipede and its retreating Head Monsters, then spotted a brightly lit service area on the deserted highway. The group entered and found it crowded with apparently ordinary people, who watched them arrive with curiosity and wariness.

  • Yang Yong broke free of the oppressive space and ordered the convoy to race away while he refined the captured Head Monsters in the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace.
  • The Head Monsters withdrew toward the Man-Faced Centipede, and the woman's head smiled at Yang Yong as though seeing him off.
  • The convoy continued driving until they saw a brightly lit service area, and Yang Yong ordered the Demoness Pickup Truck to investigate.
  • Jiang Meng said he did not remember a service area on that stretch of highway, but the convoy followed the Demoness Pickup Truck inside.
  • Yang Yong and the others found the parking lot full of spotless vehicles and the service area bustling with people, who remarked on the newcomers' bloodied clothes and tense demeanor.

Ch. 737The people here couldn't leave

Yang Yong investigated the seemingly peaceful Paradise Service Area and learned that ordinary people could not leave, while Sequence Transcendents who left never returned. He suspected the place hid an unseen rule and focused on its magically productive farmland.

  • Yang Yong scanned Paradise Service Area, found no Eerie presence or Blood Moon contamination, and warned his convoy not to touch anything.
  • Yang Yong discussed the service area with Long Ya, Jiang Meng, and Zhang Dongyun, who suspected its safety concealed hidden rules.
  • Jiang Meng reported that ordinary survivors who tried to leave always returned the next morning, while Sequence Transcendents could leave but never came back.
  • Yang Yong recognized the service area’s strange setup as resembling a premise from a webnovel he had read before transmigrating, but could not recall which one.
  • Jiang Meng told Yang Yong that crops planted in the land behind the service area grew and could be harvested the same day.

Ch. 738A Miracle!

Jiang Meng secretly tested Ideal Grain Seed in the newly reclaimed fields behind Paradise Service Area and watched it grow at an astonishing speed. After less than six hours, the corn had produced plump ears and the potatoes had bloomed, leaving him overwhelmed by the result.

  • Yang Yong decided to stay at the service area while forbidding anyone from touching its food or water, and Jiang Meng became fixated on the blessed plot.
  • Jiang Meng went alone to the mountainside and discovered that the service area’s residents had carved extensive terraced fields into half a mountain.
  • Xiong Lingling helped Jiang Meng clear rocks and channel water to a newly reclaimed field.
  • Jiang Meng planted three Ideal Grain Seed kernels and sixteen potato pieces, and they sprouted and grew rapidly.
  • Less than six hours later, the corn had produced full ears and the potatoes had bloomed, and Jiang Meng exclaimed in amazement as he inspected the harvest.

Ch. 739You're Going to Starve All Four of Us to Death!

Jiang Meng discovered that every kernel of corn and every potato grown in the fields was an Ideal Grain Seed, and Yang Yong decided to seize the fields for himself. When he threatened the people at the Paradise Service Area with his three thousand knives, Wang Cuifen stood her ground and challenged him.

  • Jiang Meng counted thousands of Ideal Grain Seeds in the corn and called Yang Yong to the field.
  • Yang Yong scanned the corn and potatoes, confirmed they were all Ideal Grain Seeds, and decided the fields were worth the risk.
  • Yang Yong flew above the service area and announced that he was requisitioning the fields, threatening everyone with the Heavenly Dragon Slash and its three thousand Throwing Knives.
  • Most of the people working in the fields fled, but Wang Cuifen refused to leave her rice paddy.
  • Wang Cuifen accused Yang Yong of robbing her family of the rice they depended on and called on everyone to say who was right.

Ch. 740Did you see? Their corn ripened in half a day!

Yang Yong killed Wang Cuifen when she challenged his seizure of the farmland, then put the convoy and children to work planting on the Back Mountain. The crops ripened within hours, and their remarkable harvest drew the attention of everyone at the Paradise Service Area as Cao Xianming’s convoy lost track of Yang Yong and redirected to find Wang Ying.

  • Wang Cuifen refused to leave her land and threatened Yang Yong, so he killed her with a flying dagger and warned everyone not to trespass.
  • Cao Xianming lost the ability to detect Yang Yong, and his convoy changed course to pick up Wang Ying.
  • Yang Yong ordered everyone, including the fourteen children, to plant Ideal Grain Seed across the Back Mountain.
  • The crops grew and ripened at astonishing speed, and Yang Yong harvested the corn and Red-Heart Potatoes alone with his flying daggers.
  • Word spread through the Paradise Service Area about the giant crops, while the scent of Zhang Dongyun’s cooking drifted down from the mountain.

Ch. 741Sequence Transcendents could stay here for three days at most

At Paradise Service Area, Yang Yong learned that Sequence Transcendents could stay for only three days and recruited desperate locals to help plant crops in exchange for seed. With less than a day and a half remaining, he organized the convoy to keep planting and maintain order.

  • Drawn by the convoy’s food, the service-area residents gathered to watch, but Lu Can crawled over to ask Yang Yong for seed in exchange for information.
  • Lu Can told Yang Yong that Sequence Transcendents had to leave Paradise Service Area within three days, though he did not know what would happen if they stayed longer.
  • Yang Yong gave Lu Can corn kernels and a Red-Heart Potato in exchange for farming help.
  • After seeing Lu Can receive seed, more than a hundred residents rushed into the fields to plant in hopes of earning some.
  • Yang Yong ordered Jiang Meng to monitor those given seed, Xiong Lingling to patrol the perimeter, and Long Ya to keep planting with the children.

Ch. 742Go!

Yang Yong and the others finished harvesting the crops as a dangerous presence awakened within Paradise Service Area. Yang Yong began evacuating the group, while Jiang Meng raced for the exit with the unseen threat closing in behind him.

  • Yang Yong and the others worked through the night, and the final round of corn was harvested by dusk the next day.
  • Yang Yong, Long Ya, Jiang Meng, and Xiong Lingling sensed a powerful presence emerging from underground and the hollowed mountain.
  • Yang Yong sent Long Ya, the fourteen children, and Zhang Dongyun into the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace, then stored the Demoness Pickup Truck in his ring.
  • Jiang Meng abandoned the slow large truck, grabbed two bottles of Combustion Agent, and sped toward the service area exit in an Off-Road Vehicle.
  • The oppressive presence drew closer behind Jiang Meng as he raced down the road without daring to look back.

Ch. 743It Would Appear at Random Somewhere in the World

Yang Yong and Long Ya escaped the Paradise Service Area, but Zhang Dongyun and the fourteen children vanished when strange fog engulfed the exit. They found themselves in an empty wasteland, separated from Jiang Meng, and Yang Yong concluded the service area was a living place that appeared randomly around the world.

  • Yang Yong noticed strange fog spreading from the service area's exit, and Zhang Dongyun and the fourteen children suddenly froze as if trapped in a shared nightmare.
  • A muffled bang sounded inside the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace, and Zhang Dongyun and the children disappeared, leaving only Yang Yong and Long Ya.
  • Long Ya asked Yang Yong to let her search for the missing children, and he sent her out of the furnace as it left the service area.
  • Yang Yong and Long Ya found themselves in an empty wasteland where the service area had vanished without a trace.
  • Yang Yong concluded that the service area was alive, appeared at random, and had displaced them away from Jiang Meng.
  • Long Ya blamed herself for losing the children, but Yang Yong reassured her that the service area's silent spatial displacement had been impossible to anticipate.

Ch. 744Ya-zi, Little Ya-zi, Open the Door

Yang Yong and Long Ya drove through a strange mist while searching for their separated companions. When a voice imitating Dean Granny tried to lure Long Ya outside, she recognized it as a fake.

  • Yang Yong reassured Long Ya that the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace might protect the younger children and promised to find everyone who had been separated.
  • Yang Yong and Long Ya set off in the Demoness Pickup Truck, and Yang Yong focused on examining the power within his body.

  • A voice imitating Dean Granny called to Long Ya and claimed that the younger children were waiting outside.
  • Long Ya touched the Small Banner containing the real Dean Granny, cleared her mind, and realized the voice was a fake.

Ch. 745Well, well, something asking for a title?

  • Long Ya ignored the Eerie’s repeated calls to open the door, suspecting that the voice imitating Dean Granny was dangerous.
  • Yang Yong opened the truck door and summoned the Red-Clothed Female Ghost, the White-Clothed Love Letter Ghost, and the Little Girl Eerie.
  • The Red-Clothed Female Ghost tore into the Eerie while the White-Clothed Love Letter Ghost weakened it with a burning letter, and the Little Girl Eerie cheered from the truck roof.
  • Yang Yong teased Long Ya for holding back and told her that he was strong enough to protect her.
  • A disembodied voice asked Yang Yong whether it looked human or divine, and a towering, misshapen figure emerged from the fog.

Ch. 746Don't attack! Deputy City Lord Yang! Spare him!

Yang Yong exposed a young Yellow Immortal hiding in the fog and used his throwing knives to trap it while waiting for someone else to appear. Huang Santainai emerged to beg him to spare the creature and invited him to a nearby gathering place.

  • Huang Santainai apologized to Yang Yong and invited him to visit her nearby gathering place.

Ch. 747When Did That Appear?

Yang Yong followed the Yellow Weasel toward a small village, discovering that the creature could sense and avoid areas thick with Eerie aura. At the village, he found golden demonic patterns beneath the soil that blocked the gray mist and converged at an old well.

  • Huang Santainai asked Yang Yong to take her great-grandson as a guide, and Yang Yong agreed after learning the Yellow Weasel had tried Asking for a Title from him.
  • The Yellow Weasel reluctantly climbed into the Demoness Pickup Truck and directed Yang Yong and Long Ya along a winding route around Eerie-filled areas.
  • Yang Yong realized the Yellow Weasel repeatedly chose paths without Eerie aura and examined a refined knife that had returned to him, noticing an unfamiliar snake-like mark on its hilt.
  • After traveling forty or fifty kilometers, Yang Yong reached a dilapidated village where the gray mist stopped at an invisible boundary.
  • Yang Yong used his Evil Eye to find golden demonic patterns encircling the village beneath the soil and converging at an old well.

Ch. 748Seventh Master Huang, he's only a child and doesn't know any better. Please calm down...

Yang Yong and Long Ya entered Huang Santainai’s concealed village, where Yaoguai dominated the starving human residents. After Yang Yong frightened Seventh Master Huang away from a boy he was bullying, the truck reached the village hall, where Yang Yong noticed the well’s golden water channeling energy through underground patterns.

  • Yang Yong recognized that Huang Santainai had concealed the entire village from Eerie sensing, and the guards alerted the village when the Demoness Pickup Truck arrived.
  • A Yellow Immortal reassured the villagers that Yang Yong and Long Ya were invited guests, and they drove through the impoverished village, where Yaoguai outnumbered the starving humans.
  • Seventh Master Huang tripped a boy, stole and ate his potato cake, then prepared to urinate on him while nearby humans pleaded for mercy.
  • Yang Yong pointed at Seventh Master Huang and struck it with killing intent, making it flee in terror; the boy recovered his potato cake and quietly thanked Yang Yong.
  • Yang Yong told Long Ya not to dwell on the humans’ mistreatment, and the truck stopped at the village hall, where Yang Yong saw the well’s golden flecks channeling energy through underground patterns.

Ch. 749Can That Formation of Yours Keep Out the Eerie?

Yang Yong confronted Huang Santainai in the Huang Family Hall, testing the village’s defenses and demanding straight answers about the Forbidden Land Wasteland.

  • Yang Yong asked whether Huang Santainai’s formation could keep out the Eerie, and she asked whether he knew about the 72-Hour Rule.

Ch. 750She Was So Small-Could She Really Use It?

Yang Yong heard Huang Santainai’s offer to trade a wasteland map and a Huang Family heirloom for his help against an Eerie in Black Water Marsh, but he remained suspicious and left the decision open. After rejecting the filthy lodging Huang Yun arranged, he and Long Ya went to inspect the human settlement, where the villagers reacted fearfully to them and Long Ya’s rifle.

  • Huang Santainai explained that the village’s Concealment Technique depended on a Spirit Eye and asked Yang Yong to kill the Eerie in Black Water Marsh in exchange for an heirloom and a complete map of the wasteland.
  • Yang Yong drank the golden water Huang Santainai offered, warned her not to mark him, and failed to notice a fine crack opening in the bowl.
  • Yang Yong grew more suspicious of Huang Santainai and declined to commit to her request, saying he needed to rest.
  • Huang Yun led Yang Yong and Long Ya to a small house, but Long Ya rejected it because it was filthy and reeked of musk.
  • Yang Yong and Long Ya drove to the human settlement, where frightened villagers hid and wondered whether the small girl could use her large gun.
