Chapter Summaries

After defeating the invaders, Lin Fei brought his companions to the Bai family villa and began implanting the sage bone and double pupils into Bai Zhan. As Bai Zhan endured a dangerous three-day transformation, Lin Fei warned that Di Jun’s orders could mean the lizard would awaken and attack.

The Goddess of Darkness used the Nightmare Mirror to reach Earth, while Lin Fei sensed danger but could not find its source. The mirror pulled Lin Fei and those around him into a dream, where he awoke inside an eerie version of the Bai family's villa.

• The Goddess of Darkness learned that the Black Dragon God had been gravely wounded after an enemy trapped him in a dream, then traveled through the spatial formation with the Nightmare Mirror.
• Lin Fei sensed an imminent threat, searched the world with his Divine Sense, and found nothing despite warnings from humanity's providence.
• The Goddess of Darkness arrived on Purple Mountain and realized the Nightmare Mirror could draw people into a central dream and expand its Nightmare Field.
• The Nightmare Mirror drained the Goddess of Darkness's divine soul, while its effect overwhelmed Lin Fei with sleepiness and made him fall from the sky into the Bai family's villa.
• Ji Yaoguang and the four maids were overcome by sleep, and Lin Fei found himself inside a bleak, mist-shrouded dream version of the villa.

Lin Fei recognized that Dream Demon’s nightmare was slowly weakening him and explained how the group could escape by finding its hidden Nightmare Core. He led everyone through the fog-shrouded dream world to search, where they encountered a strange flying sponge creature.

• Lin Fei assessed how the nightmare’s encroachment would grow more dangerous over time and waited for the others to appear.
• Bai Zhan, Ji Yaoguang, Wang Qin, the maids, and the servants joined Lin Fei, who warned them that deaths and reckless destruction would strengthen the nightmare.

• Lin Fei and Bai Zhan used their Chaos Eye and Sage Double Pupils to guide the group through the fog and search the Bai family villa and surrounding streets.
• The group encountered a yellow sponge riding a flying sword and shouting that it wanted to catch humans with Patrick Star.

Lin Fei and his companions fought SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star in a nightmare world while searching for its core and resisting an erosion that weakened them. They found Mr. Krabs’s restaurant, where the crab greeted them as potential customers for his human meat burgers.

• Wang Qin and the others were stunned to see SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star preparing to catch and eat humans.
• Lin Fei warned the group that their emotional reactions were accelerating the erosion, then tore apart the pair’s giant nets and defeated them with a punch.
• Lin Fei taught everyone the Clear Heart Art and led them through the foggy streets, while ghostly figures abducted other people arriving in the dream.
• Lin Fei reassured his companions as their strength faded, though his own cultivation had fallen to early Tribulation Transcendence.
• Lin Fei and the others found a black tornado of fog surrounding Mr. Krabs’s restaurant, and Mr. Krabs greeted them with hungry excitement.

Lin Fei and the others destroyed what appeared to be the Nightmare core, but the Goddess of Darkness revealed it was a trap. They awoke in a gray, ash-filled dream at the Bai family villa, where Lin Fei noticed the group’s behavior seemed suspicious.

• Lin Fei killed the giant crab and octopus monster while guiding the group through the increasingly dangerous dream.
• Lin Fei destroyed the floating hamburger that appeared to be the Nightmare core, triggering the Goddess of Darkness’s trap and causing three Bai family servants to vanish.
• Lin Fei and the others awoke in a hazy, ash-filled dream at the Bai family villa, and Lin Fei warned them that each death would worsen Nightmare erosion.
• Lin Fei sent spiritual light into the group’s minds, then noticed everyone had inexplicably walked ahead of him and questioned their behavior.

Lin Fei and the others destroyed a suspicious nightmare core, but the dream seemed to reset and erase several people. Back in the Bai family villa, Lin Fei realized the dream was hiding an extra person and asked where Xia had gone.

• Lin Fei led the group through the dream city, killed the SpongeBob and Patrick monsters and the creatures at Mr. Krabs’s restaurant, and taught the others the Clear Heart Art.
• Lin Fei and the group debated whether the dark burger was a trap or their way out, then chose to destroy it to save the people trapped inside.
• Ghostly figures surged out after the burger was destroyed, and the Bai family’s two servants and Xiayue vanished as the group seemed to wake.
• Lin Fei opened his eyes in the Bai family villa and noticed his cultivation had fallen further, then reasoned that the nightmare was using a new trick.
• Lin Fei counted the people present, noticed that Chunhua, Qiushui, and Dongxue accounted for spring, autumn, and winter, and asked where Xia had gone.

Lin Fei explained that the dream had erased the group’s memories of a missing maid and that their memories would return once they woke. He led them toward the Nightmare core, suspecting that the strangely weak dream creatures and easy journey were a trap set by the hidden caster.

• Lin Fei questioned Bai Zhan and Wang Qin about the household’s upkeep, revealing that neither could explain who tended the garden or handled the housework.
• Lin Fei explained that the group had undergone Samsara in the dream and that its influence had erased their memories of a missing maid, leaving the three maids grieving someone they could no longer remember.
• Lin Fei reassured the group that the dream’s memory erasure could not erase someone’s existence completely, then led them out of the villa to find the Nightmare core.
• Lin Fei swiftly destroyed a starfish monster and a sponge monster, then wondered why the dream creatures remained weak despite the severe encroachment.
• Lin Fei’s group fought through bizarre creatures and found a crab-trap-shaped hamburger restaurant where a dark hamburger showed people dying in flames.
• Lin Fei concluded that their journey had been too easy and suspected that the hidden caster was waiting for them to destroy the apparent Nightmare core.

Lin Fei deduced that the invader had split the dream into a Surface World and a hidden Inner World, where the true nightmare creatures and Nightmare Core lay. A woman appeared and challenged him to change anything now that he had uncovered the scheme.

• Lin Fei explained that the Nightmare Core was likely a trap designed to make them deepen the dream's erosion by destroying it.
• Lin Fei and the others went outside, where they watched ghostly figures touch humans and vanish with them.
• Lin Fei pointed out that the ghostly figures' real attacks differed from the visions near the embodiment of order, revealing that they had been deceived.
• Lin Fei identified their current world as the Surface World and the ghostly figures' home as the Inner World, where the Nightmare Core was hidden.
• A woman laughed and applauded, then asked whether Lin Fei could change anything despite seeing through the scheme.

Lin Fei discovered that the dreamers’ eyes were the medium between the Surface World and the Inner World, then gouged out his own eyes to enter. He arrived in the Inner World as the Goddess of Darkness dragged Ji Yaoguang and the others there too, leaving them confronted by its monstrous inhabitants.

• The Goddess of Darkness taunted Lin Fei and his companions, boasting about her desires and threatening to invade the Surface World.
• Lin Fei realized that Bai Zhan’s Double Pupils worked in the dream while his Sage Bone did not, and concluded that the eyes were the passage between the two worlds.
• Lin Fei gouged out his own eyeballs and vanished into the Inner World as ghostly shadows appeared around his companions.
• Lin Fei entered the Inner World and used the Chaos Eyes to annihilate the monsters that emerged from the shadows.
• Ji Yaoguang, Bai Zhan, and the others were dragged into the Inner World and were shaken by what they saw.

Lin Fei and Bai Zhan split into two groups to search the blood-soaked inner world for the Nightmare core, which Lin Fei suspected was the Goddess of Darkness. Bai Zhan’s group used Lin Fei’s Chaos Eye to fight off human-faced insects, but a giant insect drove the swarm to evolve and attack from the sky.

• Lin Fei handed Bai Zhan the Chaos Eye, ordered the group to stay together and use it if necessary, then split off in the opposite direction to search for the Nightmare core.
• Bai Zhan’s group was attacked by a swarm of black, human-faced beetles, and Qiushui helped pour true essence into the Chaos Eye.
• Bai Zhan raised the Chaos Eye and its light disintegrated the insects that touched it, allowing the group to push forward.
• A heart-like building burst open and released a truck-sized Black-Armored Human-Faced Insect, which made the swarm devour one another and grow metallic wings.
• The evolved insects took flight and surged toward Bai Zhan’s group in a deadly swarm.

Bai Zhan and the others fought through a swarm of evolved Black-Armored Human-Faced Insects, using the Chaos Eye to reach a subway station. They shut themselves inside as armored monsters and insect hordes closed in outside.

• Black-Armored Human-Faced Insects breached the group's defenses, wounding Chunhua and severing Dongxue's arm before Bai Zhan urged everyone to pour True Essence into the Chaos Eye.
• Bai Zhan drove the group forward beneath the Chaos Eye's light while Qiushui used her zither to slow their bleeding and conserve their strength.
• At an intersection, the group found three streets blocked by insect swarms and humanoid armored monsters carrying enormous axes.
• Ji Yaoguang considered awakening her Immortal Essence but decided against it, reflecting on Lin Fei as she ran with the others.
• Bai Zhan spotted an empty subway station and led the group inside, then slammed the entrance door shut as the monsters battered it from outside.

Ji Yaoguang, Bai Zhan, and the others escaped underground on a bizarre hearse-like subway train and discovered that the tunnels stretched far beyond the surface area. Lin Fei received their findings through the Chaos Eye and entered a heavily guarded station, where he began fighting the monsters.

• Bai Zhan led Ji Yaoguang and the others down into the subway as the humanoid carapace monster and Black-Armored Human-Faced Insects broke through the entrance doors.
• The group boarded an eerie, flesh-like subway train and cut off its second carriage to escape the monsters that had climbed aboard.
• Ji Yaoguang and the others realized the subway tunnels extended farther than the surface area and learned that Lin Fei had already received what the Chaos Eye showed them.
• Lin Fei entered a subway station guarded by giant Black-Armored Human-Faced Insects and humanoid carapace monsters.
• Lin Fei transformed and attacked the monsters with his Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram and the Seven Steps of the Heavenly Demon.

Lin Fei fought through the Goddess of Darkness's nightmare creatures and sealed Sadako and her well, while the Chaos Eye bled after erasing a swarm of monsters. He recognized the Goddess's attempt to exhaust his trump card and continued battling the remaining creatures.

• Lin Fei used seven steps to knock the Black-Armored Human-Faced Insects from the air, then erased the gathered monsters with the Chaos Eye, which began bleeding.
• Lin Fei reached a wrecked subway track and faced nightmare creatures inspired by horror films as the Goddess of Darkness taunted him.
• Lin Fei tore out Sadako's hair, threw her into her well, and sealed them both with his demon-suppressing arts.
• Lin Fei fought the remaining ghosts and monsters while accusing the Goddess of Darkness of trying to make him overuse the Chaos Eye before their final battle.

Lin Fei destroyed Freddy and fought through the nightmare creatures as the Goddess of Darkness ordered them to stop him. Meanwhile, Ji Yaoguang and the others fled Leatherface after their subway train crashed, and Bai Zhan spotted that Leatherface struggled to turn while charging.

• Lin Fei obliterated Freddy into atoms, but the dream erosion weakened his protective qi and lowered his cultivation to early Tribulation Transcendence.
• Lin Fei unleashed sword qi and Golden Crow flames in the tunnel, then flew onward as the Goddess of Darkness sent nearby nightmare creatures after him.
• Ji Yaoguang and the others encountered Leatherface, whose hammer strikes wrecked the tunnel and whose chainsaw split their train in half.
• Ji Yaoguang led the group out of the tunnel while Leatherface pursued them, and Bai Zhan noticed that Leatherface became stiff when charging and could not turn easily.
• Bai Zhan directed everyone around a right-hand corner, and Leatherface sawed through a tanker truck, causing a huge explosion.

Bai Zhan and the others fled Leatherface through a swarm of monsters while Lin Fei fought his way into the deepest darkness and found the mutated Goddess of Darkness. He faced her final guardian, a musclebound Doraemon, whose bizarre rummaging left both Lin Fei and the Goddess speechless.

• Leatherface pursued Bai Zhan and the others, who escaped into a crowd of Black-Armored Human-Faced Insects by smashing through a flesh-like rolling shutter.
• Leatherface charged through the monsters, killing two humanoid armored creatures, then resumed the chase with better control of his speed.
• Bai Zhan and the others struck Leatherface with the Chaos Eye, knocking him back but leaving him unharmed, and Bai Zhan urged Lin Fei to hurry.
• Lin Fei reached the Nightmare Core and saw that the mutated Goddess of Darkness had transformed herself into a writhing mass of flesh and tendrils.
• Lin Fei found a musclebound Doraemon guarding the Goddess, who rummaged inside his oversized white underpants and prompted the Goddess to ask Lin Fei what kind of freaks he associated with.

Lin Fei fought a corrupted, muscular Doraemon wielding a lightsaber and used the Supreme Purity Heaven-Reaching Spirit Control Art to seize the weapon. Meanwhile, Leatherface ambushed Ji Yaoguang’s group from above, and blood splattered as his chainsaw struck.

• Lin Fei recognized that Doraemon matched his microscopic power and battled it with Three Thousand in One Thought.
• Lin Fei combined Golden Crow Illuminates the Nine Heavens with Sword Twenty-Three, severing Doraemon’s shoulder and its lightsaber-wielding arm.
• Lin Fei used the Supreme Purity Heaven-Reaching Spirit Control Art to wrest the lightsaber away from Doraemon, shocking the Goddess of Darkness.
• Leatherface leaped from a tall building and started his chainsaw as Ji Yaoguang’s group searched uneasily for him.
• Leatherface’s chainsaw struck before the group could react, splattering blood.

Ji Yaoguang and her companions fled after Leatherface killed Chunhua, while Lin Fei survived Muscular Doraemon’s self-destruction and faced the Goddess of Darkness in her true form. The Goddess tried to seduce him into a trap, but Lin Fei feigned infatuation and prepared to strike with Firefly Blast.

• Leatherface split Chunhua in two, and Bai Zhan and the others attacked him with the Chaos Eye.
• Ji Yaoguang grabbed Qiushui and fled, blaming herself for Chunhua’s death and resolving to use her dormant Immortal Essence if necessary.

• The Goddess of Darkness manifested her true body, and her seductive influence drove nearby monsters into frenzied violence and reproduction.
• The Goddess of Darkness tried to seduce Lin Fei, believing he had fallen for her, but Lin Fei feigned desire and launched Firefly Blast.

Lin Fei overcame the Goddess of Darkness’s mental attacks and badly wounded her before using the Chaos Eye to annihilate her. As she vanished, she warned that Venerable Black Dragon God would kill Lin Fei, but Lin Fei remained confident that the threat would be dealt with.

• Lin Fei struck the Goddess of Darkness with Firefly Blast, tearing open her chest and damaging her body.
• The Goddess of Darkness attacked with Banshee's Howl, but Lin Fei's protected primordial spirit resisted it.
