Chapter Summaries

A gigantic Eerie eye descended over the Warship, overwhelming the survivors as Wang Ying and Yang Yong attacked it without success. Chen Chunyan revealed that she had abandoned the others, and Zhang Qiang began cursing her as she fled in the typhoon.

• A giant slit pupil opened in the clouds, crushing Yang Yong and Wang Ying with its pressure.
• Wang Ying rose against the force and struck at the eye with the Black Gold Bone Blade, while Yang Yong followed with Heavenly Dragon Slash; an enormous wing deflected both attacks.
• Cao Xianming discovered that Chen Chunyan on the deck was only an illusion and saw her at the center of the distant typhoon.
• Du Weizhen and Zhang Qiang cursed Chen Chunyan for abandoning them, and Du Weizhen's ice attack failed to penetrate her typhoon.
• Chen Chunyan urged Zhang Qiang to give up his curse and flee, but he repeatedly slammed his forehead against the deck while cursing her.

After Chen Chunyan was swallowed by the typhoon, Cao Xianming coordinated a desperate attempt to propel the Warship toward the coast while Wang Ying fought the enormous Human-Faced Owl Bat. Wang Ying grew stronger as she took the creature’s blows, leaving Cao Xianming wondering whether she was about to break through to Sequence 3.

• Chen Chunyan was torn apart in the typhoon after Zhang Qiang’s Demon's Curse activated.
• Cao Xianming called for Wang Ying’s help, but she was lost in a red-eyed frenzy, so he ordered Du Weizhen to raise an ice wall and Yang Yong to make an explosive shell.
• Yang Yong forged a shell that Zheng Xiaofeng threw into the typhoon, and its blast sent the Warship speeding toward the coast on powerful winds.
• The clouds parted to reveal a gigantic Human-Faced Owl Bat, which attacked Wang Ying as she continued striking it with her Black Gold Bone Blade.
• Wang Ying blocked the creature’s blows, grew stronger despite her injuries, and prompted Cao Xianming to wonder whether she might break through to Sequence 3.

Wang Ying broke through to Sequence 3 and cut the Human-Faced Owl Bat apart, but the swarm pursued the Warship as it fled into the deep sea. After two days of avoiding Eeries, Yang Yong spotted valuable monster corpses floating nearby and struggled to resist collecting them.

• Wang Ying contained her blade force, struck the Human-Faced Owl Bat three times, and cut its massive body in half, revealing a swarm of smaller bats.
• Wang Ying passed out after her breakthrough, and the Black Gold Bone Blade lowered her safely onto the Warship.
• Cao Xianming deflated the Balloon Octopus, sending the Warship crashing into the sea, where long-necked Eeries attacked the Human-Faced Owl Bats.
• Cao Xianming had the Warship sail into the deep sea while a giant jellyfish mimicked an Eerie's aura to disguise it from nearby monsters.
• The Warship narrowly escaped a battle between a giant eel Eerie and shark-shaped Eeries, leaving Yang Yong tormented by the valuable corpses floating nearby.

Yang Yong discovered that the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace was nearly out of origin energy and needed the giant electric eel’s lightning to replenish it. He left the warship alone to provoke the eel and draw it into a fight.

• Yang Yong used the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace to absorb lightning from the giant electric eel, but the eel chased the warship as it fled toward unknown waters.
• Cao Xianming ordered the warship southeast through the fog while eerie shadows approached from ahead.
• Yang Yong realized the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace’s origin reserves were nearly depleted and that the eel’s lightning could replenish them.
• Yang Yong summoned his pickup truck and drove toward the eel, telling Cao Xianming to retreat and Mang Dabiao to stay behind.
• Yang Yong attacked the eel with the Heavenly Dragon Slash, provoking it into surging with blue lightning.

Yang Yong absorbed the giant Electric Eel’s lightning while kiting it, and the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace revealed a method for nurturing its own spirit. As he began inscribing the blood-based rune, the Red-Clothed Female Ghost drove the truck into a sea crowded with Sea Eeries.

• Yang Yong absorbed the Electric Eel’s lightning and escaped its physical charge by making the pickup truck fly with the Three-Yang God-Sealing Banner.
• Yang Yong discovered the Electric Eel needed ten minutes to recharge and repeatedly used its lightning to replenish the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace.
• The furnace revealed an ancient method for cultivating an artifact spirit, and Mang Dabiao helped Yang Yong interpret its instructions.
• Yang Yong decided to nurture a furnace spirit with his own blood and began inscribing the method’s rune on the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace.
• Yang Yong noticed that the Red-Clothed Female Ghost had driven the truck into a gathering of Sea Eeries, which fixed their hollow eyes on the intruders.

Yang Yong escaped a migrating swarm of Sea Eeries while the thunder eel fled after losing its tail. Aboard the Warship, a survivor’s scream drew a Sea Eerie close, and Wang Ying killed the woman to keep the others silent.

• Yang Yong used the ghosts summoned by the Three-Yang God-Sealing Banner to buy time for the Pickup Truck to escape the Sea Eeries, but the Red-Clothed Female Ghost and the White-Clothed Love Letter Ghost were killed.
• The Sea Eeries swarmed the thunder eel after its lightning failed, but it severed its tail and escaped into a deep-sea current.
• Yang Yong followed Mang Dabiao’s contract mark and drove toward the Warship.
• Cao Xianming ordered the Warship to drift in darkness and silence as it encountered migrating Sea Eeries, but a survivor from Sky Base screamed and attracted one to the hull.
• Xiao Xuan covered the screaming woman’s mouth, and Wang Ying killed the woman with the Black Gold Bone Blade before she could make another sound.

Cao Xianming explained that the Survival Convoy had to follow a narrow route between deadly deep-sea monster territories to reach a fog-shrouded island, the fleet’s only viable refuge. As the Warship found a landing beach crowded with battered, bloodstained vessels, Yang Yong fled one sea danger after another and contacted Mang Dabiao, regretting that he had left the fleet.

• Du Weizhen challenged Cao Xianming about staying on a route beset by migrating Sea Eeries, and Cao showed the deadly territories on either side that made it the only passage.
• Cao Xianming explained that fuel shortages left the unnamed island as the fleet’s only hope, though he could not determine why his data models pointed there.
• The Warship circled the fog-shrouded island, found a small beach to land on, and discovered several battered vessels covered in bloodstains moored there.
• Yang Yong escaped a colossal deep-sea monster and then encountered two giant sea snakes fighting, so he hid in a burrow on a tiny island.
• Yang Yong contacted Mang Dabiao, described the dangers he had faced, and vowed not to travel alone again; Mang Dabiao relayed Cao Xianming’s instructions.

Yang Yong rejoined the Warship as it reached the mist-shrouded Nameless Island, where Cao Xianming’s calculations revealed an uncertain route to survival and a nearby South Sea Base that might soon be destroyed. Cao Xianming gave Du Weizhen and Zhang Qiang the Warship in exchange for the Azure Dragon Team’s training methods, then told his remaining survivors to hide.

• Yang Yong followed the transmitted route after hiding for three days and caught up with the Warship after two days of nonstop travel.
• Cao Xianming gathered the Transcendents at the Nameless Island and admitted that he could not determine how to reach the projected route’s endpoint beneath the sea.
• Du Weizhen asked to search for South Sea Base, and Cao Xianming’s calculations suggested it still existed but might soon be destroyed.
• Cao Xianming agreed to let Du Weizhen and Zhang Qiang take the Warship in exchange for their Azure Dragon Team training methods.
• Most survivors chose to go with Du Weizhen and Zhang Qiang, while Cao Xianming’s small group moved supplies ashore.
• Cao Xianming told Yang Yong to have the remaining survivors find somewhere to hide.

Cao Xianming revealed that a gigantic sea serpent was stalking the Warship, whose simulated Eerie aura had attracted it. He predicted that Du Weizhen and Zhang Qiang would die on their voyage to the South Sea Base, which might have fallen or become an Eerie-controlled zone, leaving the convoy to decide what to do on Fog Island.

• Yang Yong and Cao Xianming hid as a mountain-sized sea serpent surfaced and followed the Warship toward the horizon.
• Cao Xianming explained that the serpent had watched them for days and would likely attack the Warship, so they had to get away from it.
• Yang Yong asked whether the South Sea Base existed, and Cao Xianming said he did not know but predicted Du Weizhen and Zhang Qiang would die on the trip.
• Cao Xianming reasoned that the South Sea Base likely had immense Eerie power, and Yang Yong realized it might have fallen or become an uninhabited zone controlled by an Eerie.
• Yang Yong asked what the convoy should do as the fog around Fog Island seemed to breathe and threaten them.

Cao Xianming led the convoy onto a fog-shrouded island to escape a colossal sea monster. As they followed an abandoned concrete road through unnaturally silent woods, a rhythmic, snoring-like sound grew louder, but Cao insisted the island remained their only chance to survive.

• Cao Xianming identified the fog-shrouded island as the convoy’s only chance of survival, and a giant monster rose from the sea behind them.
• Wang Ying drove the convoy onto the island, escaping as the monster smashed the shore and then sank back underwater.
• The convoy found a concrete road and drainage ditches on the supposedly deserted island, while Cao Xianming said he could not read anything about the place.
• Yang Yong and the others drove deeper into thick fog, finding ordinary trees but no birds, insects, or other signs of life.
• The convoy heard a growing rhythmic sound like distant thunder or snoring, and Cao Xianming reaffirmed that the island was their only way to survive.

Yang Yong’s convoy discovered that all ordinary food and water had vanished on the island, while supplies in his magical storage remained safe. After Yang Yong and Wang Ying failed to find a way out, the survivors found sweet potatoes and a spring, offering them a chance to survive.

• The convoy stopped at the island’s center, where everyone discovered that all stored food and water had disappeared without damaging their containers.
• Yang Yong found that his supplies inside the Nine Nether Yuanchen White Bone Ring remained intact, but Cao Xianming warned him not to reveal their last reserves before they understood the island’s rules.
• Mang Dabiao and Hu Xian'er sensed that the group was in grave danger, and Mang Dabiao said it felt as though they had been served up on an enemy’s dinner table.
• Yang Yong and Wang Ying drove around the island for a day but repeatedly returned to the central clearing, unable to escape.
• The survivors found a field of intact sweet potatoes and began eating them.
• The survivors also discovered a spring, giving them access to water.

The Transcendents discovered that the Island’s Mist and food and water interfered with their abilities, leading Cao Xianming to suspect the Island was weakening them so an entity could appear. Yang Yong recalled the Brown Blood Beads refined by the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace as a possible way to resist the Island’s energy.

• Wang Ying and Yang Yong reported that the group kept returning to the same place and felt watched by an unseen presence that had taken their supplies.
• Cao Xianming realized his data analysis stopped working after he touched the Mist, and the others tested their abilities.
• Zheng Xiaofeng revealed that after eating a sweet potato and drinking spring water, he could no longer form his Iron Armor.
• Cao Xianming concluded that the Mist hindered transcendent abilities and the Island’s food and water further obstructed them, possibly weakening everyone until an entity appeared.
• Cao Xianming questioned why his calculations had identified landing on the Island as the convoy’s only path to survival and proposed that an entity might reveal itself only once the group became ordinary people.
• Yang Yong remembered the Brown Blood Beads in his Nine Nether Abyss White Bone Ring and considered whether the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace’s refinement could protect them from the Island’s energy.

Yang Yong discovered that Brown Blood Beads restored sealed supernatural abilities temporarily, and Cao Xianming used one to learn that the island’s natives would appear as ordinary people after the group’s abilities were fully sealed. The convoy ate the island’s food while secretly preparing to restore their powers, but the natives did not attack during the first day or night.

• Yang Yong tested a Brown Blood Bead and found that it remained unaffected by the island’s power, then Cao Xianming swallowed one and temporarily regained his data abilities.
• Cao Xianming calculated that sealed abilities could be restored, the natives would appear after the group’s powers were fully sealed, and the natives had ordinary strength.
• Yang Yong handed out the remaining Brown Blood Beads and urged the group to eat, while an unseen native watched the convoy and reported that they had accepted the food.
• The convoy ate sweet potatoes and dessert soup while keeping the beads ready, and a native tribe replied to its watcher, “Keep watching.”
• During the quiet first day and night, the group tested their remaining weapons and abilities; Yang Yong told Mang Dabiao and Hu Xian'er to act like pets and conceal their strength.

After the natives drugged the Survival Convoy and tied up its men, Yang Yong freed them and learned that all the women had been taken. He led the group toward the screams, where they found a raised platform and a scene that left them stunned.

• On the third night, Xiao Liao smelled a cloying fragrance and passed out while keeping watch.
• Yang Yong woke tied to a cross and discovered that all the men had been bound while the women were missing and their belongings had been taken.
• Yang Yong used the Heavenly Dragon Slash to cut the men’s ropes and wake them with slaps from its throwing knives.
• Xiao Li begged Yang Yong to save his sister, and Yang Yong gave Zheng Xiaofeng a Brown Blood Bead so he could transform into his iron-armored form.
• Zheng Xiaofeng led the convoy toward the distant screams, and they reached a raised platform where the sight before them stunned everyone.

The Survival Convoy fought the savage priests and their warriors to rescue the captured women, but the savages gained seemingly impenetrable black armor and began overwhelming the group. Cao Xianming identified the altar’s pattern as the key and shouted for it to be destroyed.

• The savages attacked the Survival Convoy as Zheng Xiaofeng, Xiao Li, and Yang Yong fought back, while Xiao Li tried to reach his captured sister.
• Cao Xianming helped Xiao Li hold off the spear-wielding savages, and Yang Yong cut the women free and gave Brown Blood Beads to Wang Ying and Xiao Xuan.
• Wang Ying wounded the savage chieftain, but eerie black light healed him and turned into armor that resisted Yang Yong’s flying knives.
• The black light armored the other savages as well, and they began killing convoy members while the ordinary people fled.
• Cao Xianming analyzed the battlefield with his Data Model and shouted for everyone to destroy the pattern on the altar.

Yang Yong destroyed the Sacrificial Altar, rescued Xiao Li's younger sister, and recovered the weapons hidden in its pillars while the others fought the savages. Wang Ying dismembered the Savage Chief, but his unusual nature remained unexplained.

• Yang Yong discovered Zhuo Fujiao's mutilated body and the blood-powered Sacrificial Altar, then attacked it with the Heavenly Dragon Slash.
• Yang Yong broke through the altar's blood-red defense, pierced it, freed Xiao Li's younger sister, and pinned the five Savage Priests to the stone wall.
• Yang Yong tortured the Savage Priests and recovered the Black Gold Bone Blade and Zheng Xiaofeng's Tortoiseshell Shield from stone pillars.
• Zheng Xiaofeng caught his shield and charged into the savages, crushing them as Wang Ying pursued the Savage Chief with the Black Gold Bone Blade.
• Wang Ying severed the Savage Chief's right hand, left hand, and right foot, but sensed something extraordinary about him.

After the altar was destroyed, Yang Yong and the survivors defeated the savages and executed their priests. Yang Yong covered Zhuo Fujiao’s body and vowed to avenge her, then her eyes finally closed.

• Wang Ying severed the Savage Chief’s last leg and killed him, while the survivors broke the savages’ ranks after Yang Yong destroyed the altar.
• Yang Yong sent the Little Girl Eerie after the fleeing savages, then had the Red-Clothed Female Ghost devour the lead priest’s soul and tortured and killed the remaining priests.
• Li Haijian begged Yang Yong for a Brown Blood Bead to save his dying sister, and Yang Yong killed the savages still moaning beneath the Sacrificial Altar.
• Yang Yong and the survivors discovered Zhuo Fujiao’s mutilated body on the altar, and he covered her with clothing.
• Yang Yong vowed to kill the savages on the Island and avenge Zhuo Fujiao, then brushed her eyes closed.

After Zhuo Fujiao was buried, Yang Yong used the White-Clothed Love Letter Ghost’s letter to locate the savages’ underground hideout, while Cao Xianming worked to decode its route. Yang Yong questioned Mang Dabiao and Hu Xian'er about their absence during the battle, and Hu Xian'er suspected the knockout scent came from a water-dwelling creature’s glandular secretion.

• Lao Zhang presided over Zhuo Fujiao’s burial, and Yang Yong devoured the savages’ souls and corpses.
• The White-Clothed Love Letter Ghost gave Yang Yong a letter recording the savages’ route to their underground hideout, and Cao Xianming began decoding it with Brown Blood Beads.
• Yang Yong demanded to know why Mang Dabiao and Hu Xian'er had missed the battle; Mang Dabiao admitted he had stayed in a pot for a hot bath, while Hu Xian'er said she had been trapped inside her Dima’s Aperture.
• Hu Xian'er explained that the sweet scent had made even her lose consciousness and said it smelled like a fishy secretion from a water-dwelling creature.
• Yang Yong asked whether the scent might have come from something like a sperm whale.

Cao Xianming revealed that the island was a living Eerie and that the savages were apocalypse survivors who had degenerated after worshipping it. The group learned to wait for the savages at the island’s nostrils, then discovered the horrors left behind in the town they had abandoned.

• Cao Xianming concluded that the savages had come to the island after the apocalypse and had degenerated by worshipping the island itself, which was alive.
• Cao Xianming reasoned that the island likely had little offensive power and proposed sealing one of its nostrils to ambush the savages at the other.
• Cao Xianming warned the group not to enter the island’s body, where they could be transformed into Eerie, and led them along a route through illusions.
• The group reached a deserted town where Cao Xianming said the savages had fled in haste into underground caves.
• The group saw human bones and mutilated corpses, and Wang Ying declared that the savages had become Eerie as everyone resolved to show them no mercy.

Yang Yong’s group opened the island’s caves, triggering violent tremors and fog before they hunted the mutated wildmen emerging from the second cave. After nine days, Cao Xianming had also found a way to make the island’s food and water safe, while Yang Yong asked when they would find a way off the island.

• Wang Ying, Zheng Xiaofeng, and Yang Yong failed to break through the first cave wall, but Mang Dabiao sliced it open with his enormous blade, causing the island to shake and fill with fog.
• Yang Yong led the group through the fog to the second cave, where Zheng Xiaofeng guarded the entrance until Cao Xianming told him to let the creatures out.
• Three mutated wildmen emerged, and Wang Ying killed them while Yang Yong captured their souls and consumed their flesh and blood.
• Wang Ying and the others guarded the cave for days, killing wildmen as they emerged less and less frequently.
• Cao Xianming determined that food and water became safe to consume after hanging in the air for three hours, and Lao Zhang organized people to collect and air them.
• After nine days, Yang Yong asked Cao Xianming whether his promised way out only meant eating sweet potatoes, and Cao Xianming said it led to a place with plentiful food and drink.
