Chapter Summaries

Han Xing’s Lightning Towers and other defenses nearly wiped out the Blood Tide monsters, and his group collected thousands of corpses for materials. After Shen Yun was bitten by a surviving Elite Monster, they discovered that the Blood Curse could not be removed and would eventually cause him to mutate.

• Han Xing waited for the monsters to approach Starry Sky City, then unleashed his Lightning Towers, Siege Crossbows, and Flame Catapults to destroy most of the swarm.

• Shen Yun tried Purification but could only delay the curse’s outbreak, and Han Xing’s group realized they had no way to remove it.

Han Xing revealed that he could produce Blood Curse Antidote, offering a way to counter the curse as the Blood Tide spread. Meanwhile, Wujie’s team survived a monster assault, but many members faced imminent mutation from accumulated Blood Curse stacks.

• Han Xing used his stockpile of Divine Aurora and other materials to begin mass-producing Blood Curse Antidote, then gave a bottle to Shen Yun, who was astonished by its ability to clear the curse and grant an hour of immunity.

• A woman warned Wujie that many Kunlun members had accumulated Blood Curse stacks and some had only a little over twenty minutes before mutation; Wujie asked whether Purification had been tried.

Wujie learned that Purification could only delay Blood Curse, while survivors across Blue Star struggled with the first Blood Tide wave and the deaths it caused. The system opened a Merit Leaderboard and Merit Shop, and Han Xing discovered that his Territory Buildings had earned him 64,122 points, which he spent on six Golden Treasure Chests.

• Thousands of returning Blood Tide Monsters swarmed Jiang Heng’s floating island and killed Jiang Heng, Wen Xinling, and the other survivors.

Han Xing led his companions through the Blood Tide, farming Merit Points and then luring a monster swarm into a battle so they could gain experience themselves. The group unleashed powerful Second Rank skills and destroyed most of the swarm, with Han Xing’s Exploding Flame Arrow leaving them stunned by its vast blast.

• Han Xing continued moving Starry Sky City through the Blood Tide and used its attack equipment to kill monsters, gaining more than five thousand Merit Points in under an hour.

Han Xing’s team crushed several waves of Blood Tide Monsters, and Meiqiu reached level 20, becoming a three-star creature.
