Chapter Summaries

Yang Yong pursued Wild Wolf to seize the Sequence Injection, but their chase led them to a giant shark emerging from the ground. Wild Wolf threw the injection toward the shark as bait, and Yang Yong ordered Mang Dabiao to drive straight toward it.

• Wild Wolf offered Yang Yong the Sequence Injection, but a hidden gunman shot Yang Yong before he could capture him, allowing Wild Wolf to escape.
• Yang Yong killed the attackers with his flying blades, then rode Mang Dabiao's pickup in pursuit despite Cao Xianming's warning of extreme danger.
• Yang Yong used the Two-Yang God-Sealing Banner to boost the pickup's speed and close the distance while Wild Wolf's subordinate threw debris to slow them down.
• Wild Wolf and his subordinate saw a gigantic dorsal fin emerge from the ground and tried to turn away from the land shark.
• Wild Wolf threw the Sequence Injection toward the shark as bait, and Yang Yong ordered Mang Dabiao to charge toward it.

Yang Yong’s group recovered the Sequence Injection but encountered a gigantic land-swimming shark that devoured two Wild Wolf men and pursued their pickup. Hu Xian’er diverted it briefly with her charm, but the shark resumed its attack as both convoys fled.

• Yang Yong punctured the Wild Wolf vehicle’s tire, and the Red-Clothed Female Ghost retrieved the Sequence Injection before Mang Dabiao drove away.
• The giant land shark swallowed the overturned vehicle and its two occupants, prompting Yang Yong to order the pickup to flee.
• Yang Yong used the Two-Yang God-Sealing Banner, his ghosts, and Heavenly Dragon Slash to boost the pickup’s speed, but the shark continued closing in.
• Hu Xian’er distracted the shark with her charm, allowing the pickup to escape its path temporarily before the monster recovered and charged after them again.
• Cao Xianming and the others prepared to retreat, and Zheng Chunlin ordered the Rising Sun Transport Convoy to flee after learning about the shark.

Yang Yong used Heavenly Dragon Slash and a street hawker’s sales pitch to repel one Land Shark, but another blocked the convoy’s escape. He and Hu Xian'er briefly stunned the second monster, giving Yang Yong a chance to act.

• Yang Yong realized the pursuing Land Shark would catch the pickup and used Heavenly Dragon Slash blades to create piercing noise that briefly slowed it.
• The Land Shark adapted and resumed its charge, so Yang Yong blasted it with a loudspeaker playing a street hawker’s sales pitch, forcing it underground.
• Mang Dabiao drove the pickup toward the territory’s edge, but another Land Shark emerged ahead and blocked their escape.
• Yang Yong refused to abandon Mang Dabiao, Hu Xian'er, and the others, and aimed the loudspeaker at the second Land Shark.
• Yang Yong ordered Hu Xian'er to daze the monster, and her musky scent made it stop, creating an opening.

Yang Yong escaped the Land Shark’s territory with the Survival Convoy, but Wang Ying stole the Sequence Injection and injected it into a wolf’s corpse before Yang Yong killed him. Yang Yong refined the corpse into a blood-red bead and fled as two Land Sharks pursued him and Mang Dabiao.

• Yang Yong blinded the Land Shark, and Mang Dabiao drove the pickup out of its territory to rejoin the Survival Convoy.
• A heavy truck rammed the pickup, and Yang Yong was thrown from the roof as the Sequence Injection fell from his pocket.

Wang Ying wounded a pursuing Land Shark, but the Survival Convoy remained trapped between two relentless beasts until Cao Xianming lured them to Mo Family Village, where Liu Dabao attacked. After the convoy escaped, Yang Yong learned the blood bead’s effects were a fifty-fifty gamble and swallowed it, leaving his fate uncertain.

• Wang Ying slashed the Land Shark, and Yang Yong pulled her onto the pickup truck as the enraged beasts renewed their pursuit.
• Cao Xianming redirected the Survival Convoy toward Mo Family Village, while Zheng Chunlin led the Rising Sun Transport Convoy away.
• After three days of pursuit, Cao Xianming ordered Wang Ying to strike near Mo Family Village, drawing out the powerful, Blood Moon-corrupted Liu Dabao.
• Liu Dabao fought the two Land Sharks as Cao Xianming led the Survival Convoy past the battle and into safety.
• Yang Yong asked Cao Xianming to assess the blood bead and heard that its outcome was fifty-fifty.
• Yang Yong swallowed the blood bead and told the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace to refine him if he became a monster.

Yang Yong awakened as a Transcendent, merging his Divine Forger chains with the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace to form the Ten-Thousand-Forging Primordial Furnace Sequence. He discovered his new abilities and the sequence’s price, but did not yet know how to prevent its gradual loss of warmth and emotion.

• Yang Yong swallowed the blood bead, endured intense pain, and awakened his eye abilities; Huang Xiaojuan blocked his gaze when it made her blood boil.
• The Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace joined Yang Yong’s gene chains, and the three sets of chains merged while he was unconscious.
• Yang Yong woke to learn that his sequence was the Ten-Thousand-Forging Primordial Furnace and that the furnace had become bound to his body and soul.
• Yang Yong realized his sequence’s price was losing body heat and, eventually, human emotion.
• Yang Yong identified Ghost Sight, Night Eye, and Blood Eye as his eye abilities and found that he could now control the furnace with his will.

Yang Yong discovered that the awakened Ten-Thousand-Forging Primordial Furnace could forge Semi-Curios and attack with a charging strike and fire snake. After three days of forging for the convoy, he and everyone with him were swallowed by a sudden fissure, and Yang Yong awoke in an unfamiliar antique room.

• Yang Yong forged an iron spoon into a Mortal Artifact and tested the furnace's Savage Charge and Fire Snake Attack on a rock.
• Yang Yong traded forged Semi-Curios for supplies, then agreed to forge the convoy vehicles' core components at Cao Xianming's request.
• After seventy-two peaceful hours, an eerie bell rang and a fissure opened beneath the convoy despite Cao Xianming's calculations.
• Wang Ying jumped from his vehicle as the fissure swallowed the convoy, while Yang Yong tried to fly to safety.
• A black staff knocked Yang Yong unconscious and sent him falling into the fissure, which then closed over the convoy.
• Yang Yong regained consciousness on an antique-style bed and wondered where he was.

Yang Yong awakened in a weak, unfamiliar body on a modern film set and decided the world around him was an illusion, using the Ten-Thousand-Forging Primordial Furnace to burn his way out. After killing a taxi driver he believed was fake, he encountered a female ghost in an elevator and barely escaped being strangled by her hair.

• Yang Yong discovered that his original powers were gone but that the Ten-Thousand-Forging Primordial Furnace remained.
• After finding a film crew outside his room, Yang Yong burned the set and smashed through a wall to reach a modern city.
• Yang Yong took a taxi to Hengzhao Tower and set the driver and car on fire when he believed the driver was fake.
• A female ghost appeared in the elevator, and black hair from the ceiling wrapped around Yang Yong's neck.
• Yang Yong smashed the Primordial Furnace into the elevator ceiling, freed himself, and found the ghost gone.

Yang Yong escaped a collapsing elevator and found Wang Qian working in a strange office building where employees were forced to follow rigid rules and lure men inside. Convinced the place punished rule-breakers, he refused to submit and attacked a squad of bald men who stormed the break room, demanding to know where he was.

• Yang Yong escaped the falling elevator and saw expressionless office workers filling the building.
• Wang Qian recognized Yang Yong and told him she had spent three months working under strict targets, luring single men into the building.
• Wang Qian said she had not seen Wang Ying or the others and was confined to the work floor and the floor below.
• Yang Yong suspected the building was a false world where breaking the rules attracted Eerie attacks, but resolved to resist rather than work as a puppet.
• A squad of bald men forced their way into the break room, and Yang Yong blasted them with the Ten-Thousand-Forging Primordial Furnace before demanding to know who they were and where he was.

Yang Yong discovered that the office workers were trapped survivors and that refining Ghost Domain creatures yielded curio materials. After rescuing Mang Dabiao and Hu Xian'er, he set out to find the other Transcendents, realizing he had overlooked a useful person-finding curio.

• Yang Yong refined the bald phantoms, learned that the office employees were trapped survivors, and left Wang Qian behind when she refused to come with him.
• Yang Yong climbed the stairwell, defeated the long-haired female ghost with the Primordial Furnace, and obtained cold black hair that he recognized as curio material.
• Yang Yong reached the rooftop, saw the strange office-building world surrounded by gray fog, and sensed Mang Dabiao's location through their contract mark.
• Yang Yong found Mang Dabiao and Hu Xian'er soaking in liquor jars, freed them, and learned they had no knowledge of the Ghost Domain.
• Yang Yong and the two immortals agreed to find the other Transcendents, and Yang Yong regretted leaving the person-finding curio inside the Deer-Shaped Shark before suddenly realizing he had been a fool.

Yang Yong turned the eerie corpses in the Ghost Domain into curio materials and forged Hu Xian'er a Soul-Binding Fan that could absorb blood moon energy. After she accepted it, Mang Dabiao changed its mind about its weapon and asked Yang Yong to forge it a forty-meter saber.

• Yang Yong refined eerie body parts with the Ten-Thousand-Forging Primordial Furnace while Mang Dabiao and Hu Xian'er gathered more from the building.
• When the White Bone Ring reached its storage limit, Yang Yong decided to forge artifacts for his companions from the materials he had collected.
• Yang Yong crafted the Soul-Binding Fan from eerie hair, bones, and other remains, and gave it to Hu Xian'er.
• Hu Xian'er transformed into her Fox Immortal appearance and thanked Yang Yong, pleased that the fan could absorb blood moon energy.
• Mang Dabiao asked Yang Yong to forge it a forty-meter saber instead of the sword it had first wanted.

Yang Yong and his companions forged the Evil-Slaying Blade, then fled the building under a growing sense of danger. Hu Xian'er led them through a search party to a haunted opera theater, where a performer summoned them onto the stage.

• Mang Dabiao taught Yang Yong a shrinking formation, which Yang Yong forged into the Ten-Thousand-Forging Primordial Furnace.
• Yang Yong forged the Evil-Slaying Blade from sinister bones, but gave it to Mang Dabiao after learning that each swing stole the wielder's lifespan.
• Yang Yong, Mang Dabiao, and Hu Xian'er gathered supplies and left the building as two bald men arrived and triggered an alarm.
• Hu Xian'er concealed the group with an illusion and guided them past the searching puppets to a strange plaza.
• The group encountered an eerie opera theater, where a grinning performer pointed a wooden sword at them and ordered them to take the stage.

Yang Yong and his companions rescued Huang Xiaojuan from a strange performance that stripped people of their ability to smile, while Hu Xian'er suffered the same affliction. Suspecting the Ghost Domain was stealing the living’s emotions, Yang Yong prepared to search for Old Cao and find a way out.

• Yang Yong, Mang Dabiao, and Hu Xian'er found Huang Xiaojuan entranced by a performance and realized the square was affecting everyone inside.
• Hu Xian'er possessed her Dima, Huang Xiaojuan, and controlled her long enough to lead her out of the square before leaving her body.
• Yang Yong knocked Huang Xiaojuan unconscious when she tried to return, and Mang Dabiao carried her to safety.
• Hu Xian'er explained that the area had compelled her to cheer and smile, then stripped away her ability to smile for about three hours.
• Mang Dabiao suspected the Ghost Domain was collecting the living’s Seven Emotions and Six Desires, and Yang Yong connected the idea to the fear-inducing office building where Wang Qian was.
• Yang Yong forged three Semi-Curio whips, ordered the group to search for Old Cao without entering eerie zones, and sent them to rescue other convoy members only when it was safe.

Yang Yong, Hu Xian'er, Huang Xiaojuan, and Mang Dabiao searched the Ghost Domain for Cao Xianming, who tried to use its corrupting power to weaken the eerie eye suppressing his abilities. Elsewhere, Wang Ying continued her arena winning streak, and Yang Yong encountered a motionless man from the Qinglongzhai Village disaster.

• Hu Xian'er woke Huang Xiaojuan and explained the situation, then Huang Xiaojuan paired with Hu Xian'er while Yang Yong and Mang Dabiao searched alone.

• Yang Yong spotted familiar faces from the Qinglongzhai Village disaster while exploring the Ghost Domain.
• Yang Yong found the middle-aged man surnamed Li standing motionless in an empty building and pulled him toward the entrance with his bone whip.

Yang Yong searched the eerie buildings for help and found Wang Ying trapped in an arena where she had to keep fighting. He later entered a buffet hall and encountered Zheng Xiaofeng beside its endless cauldron.

• Yang Yong gathered several former members of the convoy, including Xiao Xuan, Xiao Liao, and Zhuo Fujiao, as he searched for Transcendents.
• Yang Yong discovered Wang Ying fighting the Man-Eating Two-Headed Bull in an arena that sealed his abilities; she won her 304th consecutive match, but another Eerie appeared immediately.
• Yang Yong failed to pull Wang Ying out with his bone whip and left to seek help.
• Yang Yong entered a buffet hall where blood-eyed diners devoured inexhaustible food served from a bronze cauldron.
• Yang Yong recognized Zheng Xiaofeng standing beside the cauldron.

Yang Yong discovered that the buffet hall’s food drained people’s appetite while supplying supernatural power, then used his Ten-Thousand-Forging Primordial Furnace to refine the food into potent blood beads. After Xiao Xuan nearly ate herself to death, he offered her a large bead as a test.

• Yang Yong pulled Zheng Xiaofeng away from the buffet hall and learned that eating its food boosted his Armorer Sequence power while gradually draining his appetite.
• Yang Yong sent Xiao Xuan into the hall and recorded how its influence overwhelmed her, then used his furnace to refine a giant leg of meat into a blood bead.
• Zheng Xiaofeng swallowed the first blood bead and confirmed that it contained purer, greater supernatural power than the food.
• Yang Yong spent most of the day refining the hall’s food into a large blood bead while Xiao Xuan continued eating until her belly swelled painfully.
• Yang Yong pulled Xiao Xuan from the hall, waited for her to recover, and offered her the large blood bead to try.

Xiao Xuan awakened Sequence name-Fierce-Eyed Guanyin after swallowing a blood bead forged by Yang Yong, and the group gathered more treasures from the Eerie Domain. When the serving maids became alert, Yang Yong ordered everyone to retreat, then asked Xiao Xuan about her new ability.

• Xiao Xuan swallowed a brown blood bead and awakened Sequence name-Fierce-Eyed Guanyin without a Sequence Injection.
• Yang Yong realized the blood beads might increase Transcendents’ Supernatural Power and help ordinary people awaken, then forged bone whips for Zheng Xiaofeng and Xiao Xuan.
• Yang Yong refined more than a hundred thumb-sized blood beads while the group extracted food from the hall.
• The serving maids’ eyes came alive, so Yang Yong stopped the group and led them away before they were discovered.
• After finding a concealed place to rest, Yang Yong asked Xiao Xuan about her Sequence One ability and its combat strength.

Xiao Xuan demonstrated the overwhelming power of her new Furious Iron Fist, and Yang Yong explained the convoy’s plan to find Cao Xianming and escape the Eerie Domain. Meanwhile, Cao Xianming restored his Analyst ability but lost his Shadow Escape Talisman and was trapped by the eerie women.

• Xiao Xuan dented Zheng Xiaofeng’s Sequence Two iron armor with a single punch from her Furious Iron Fist.
• Yang Yong told Zheng Xiaofeng and Xiao Xuan that they would find Cao Xianming, uncover the truth behind the Eerie Domain, and force their way out.
• Cao Xianming used the eerie power in the realm of debauchery to wear away the contamination in his mind and restore his Sequence Two: Analyst abilities.
• The eerie women overwhelmed Cao Xianming and stole his Shadow Escape Talisman, leaving him restrained and crying out for Yang Yong, Zheng Xiaofeng, and Wang Ying to save him.

Yang Yong’s group rescued Cao Xianming from the bewildering grounds and fled into a mysterious glowing door, where they reunited with Mang Dabiao. With Cao Xianming’s analytical abilities restored, Yang Yong recounted their experiences, but Cao Xianming first asked for food and then hesitated over a bead refined from the Eerie’s food.

• Yang Yong used bone whips to pull Cao Xianming free, and Cao identified a route for the group to escape the pursuing eerie women and bald men.
• The group entered a glowing door to avoid being caught, finding themselves in a dark hidden space where Mang Dabiao and the convoy members had been trapped for about half a day.
• Cao Xianming’s Data Model and analytical abilities recovered, so Yang Yong recounted everything the group had experienced in the Eerie Domain.
• Cao Xianming asked for food, and Yang Yong gave him instant noodles and a blood bead refined from the Eerie’s food.
• Cao Xianming nearly threw the bead away in disgust, but Yang Yong’s next words made him clutch it tightly.

Yang Yong and Cao Xianming discovered that strange blood beads could empower Transcendents and awaken ordinary people, then explored the fog-filled space beyond the light gate and found coded markings across its floor. Cao Xianming concluded that the space was part of an illusion formation built with the eerie, most likely to enable someone to ascend by leaving the world.

• Yang Yong showed Cao Xianming that Xiao Xuan had awakened the Fierce-Eyed Guanyin combat sequence, and he revealed that he had refined about a hundred strange blood beads.
• Cao Xianming analyzed a blood bead and confirmed that it safely increased a Transcendent’s supernatural power or could awaken sequence transcendence in an ordinary person, though excessive consumption could make an ordinary person’s body explode.
• Yang Yong asked Cao Xianming to analyze the eerie traces and anomalies, then explored the fog-filled space with Zheng Xiaofeng and Xiao Xuan using a Positioning Pillar and tethering whips.
• Yang Yong found strings of numbers carved into the concrete floor, copied the legible codes into a notebook, and discovered that Mang Dabiao’s group had trampled some of them.
• Cao Xianming concluded that the space was a grand illusion formation made with the eerie, and calculated that it had a ninety percent chance of being designed to help someone leave the world through ascension.
