Arc 8The Dragon Blood Tide
Hu Mang traveled to the Eastern Sea, joined a dangerous expedition into the Dragon Blood Tide, and forged a powerful new spear technique while collecting rare treasures. After becoming the feared Sea Yaksha and clashing with Golden Core cultivators, he fled a Heavenly Gate pursuit and encountered the ghost ship again.
- Hu Mang left for Ancient Java Island, cultivated aboard the Seagull, and explored the ruins of Demon-Subduing City before reaching Vast Sea Island.
- As the Dragon Blood Tide approached, Hu Mang befriended Xiao Zhu and joined Old Zhu’s crew on the Hidden Boat to search the tide’s outskirts.
- Hu Mang gathered treasures in the tide, killed a devil cultivator pursuing a Flood Dragon Corpse Sha, and volunteered to spar with Qingyezi.
- Hu Mang and Old Zhu explored the tide’s core and killed a Sinking Bone Giant Squid, earning eight Nether Pearls and inspiring Hu Mang to develop the New Four Devil-Subduing Forms.
- Hu Mang survived violent waves at the sea eye, suffered severe injuries, and used Mysterious Yin Rebirth to restore most of his body.
- Disguised as Sea Yaksha, Hu Mang defeated Qin Buzhuo and robbed several Golden Core cultivators, filling ten storage boxes with treasures.
- After sensing danger from Ao Tianhai, Hu Mang fled the Dragon Blood Tide as Lin Zhiying sent the Flood Dragon Hunting Squad after him.
- Hu Mang evaded the squad beneath the sea, where the darkness led him back to the ghost ship.
