Ye Shikai learns that Chen Yuxin did not flee to Yanjing but remains in the East Sea. He deduces she is at a hidden factory, likely the base for the HST project, and decides to confront her with a small team. Upon arrival, they are ambushed by Chen family remnants. Ye Shikai fights his way to Chen Yuxin, who is holding a controller and threatening to release the mutants stored in the factory, stating it's her last chance to save the Chen family.

Ye Shikai’s eyes tightly focused on the controller in Chen Yuxin’s hand. If it were truly pressed, then the mutants here would rush into the city center, and the entire East Sea would become a hell of slaughter.

“Xin, listen to me, put down the controller, okay?” Ye Shikai approached slowly but dared not move too quickly. After all, Chen Yuxin was also a cultivator, and if he acted rashly, not only would he fail to obtain the controller, he might even provoke her into releasing the mutants.

“No.” Chen Yuxin suddenly retreated, her hand pressing down forcefully on the controller.

“Damn it.” Ye Shikai’s heart trembled, and the situation had still happened. All the “boxes” around opened, and the mutants inside began to activate.

“Xin, quickly leave here.” Ye Shikai shouted, rushing forward and grabbing Chen Yuxin’s arm.

“No.” Chen Yuxin shook off his arm, “Kai, hurry and leave, take care of our child. All this is my wrongdoing, nothing to do with you.”

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Ye Shikai shouted angrily. Chen Yuxin wanted to die here to calm the consequences with her death. She didn’t want to involve Ye Shikai or their child.

“I want you to survive, we’ll deal with the consequences later.” Ye Shikai shouted. At this time, Nightmare, Feng Ling, and some others rushed in, but they were still “fighting.”

“Everyone, stop.” Ye Shikai shouted with all his might. Suddenly, not only the generals of the Netherworld Palace but also Feng Ling, Xue Ming, and other leaders of the Shadow Organization froze.

“All of you leave this place.”

“Feng Ling, Xue Ming, take her and leave here immediately, hurry.” Ye Shikai pushed Chen Yuxin to Feng Ling’s side, shouting orders. Feng Ling also realized the danger surrounding them and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

“All the mutants here are activated, oh yes, use this.” Ye Shikai picked up the controller from the table beside him. The mutants could execute Chen Yuxin’s commands because they were conditioned to obey, but Ye Shikai could use this method to make the mutants stay put.

“All mutants heed orders; stay put.” Ye Shikai shouted loudly, but unexpectedly, the mutants seemed not to hear the command and slowly crawled out of the boxes.

“How can this be? All mutants heed orders; stay put.” Ye Shikai repeated, but it was to no avail.

“Sir, these mutants are half-finished products and don’t have the implanted control chips.” Feng Ling spoke the truth, which was utterly disheartening news. These mutants turned out to be uncontrollable.

“All of you get out, quick.” Ye Shikai shouted loudly, “Seal the entire factory, as soon as possible.”

At this point, the only option was to blow everything up here. But mutants are not ordinary people; destroying so many mutants would flatten the factory, yet their manpower couldn’t quickly seal the factory, and how could they inhibit the explosion’s shock wave? The residence area of East Sea wasn’t far off; if it exploded, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Facing life and death, Feng Ling and others chose to “comply” with Ye Shikai’s orders. Both sides “shook hands and made peace,” immediately organizing evacuation.

“Master, what about you?” Nightmare chased and asked.

“I have my ways, you all leave quickly.” Ye Shikai shouted loudly. Now the mutants were still activating, with a few minutes left before they could freely move. He still had time to prepare. Now everyone was evacuated, he took out explosives from his Storage Ring, placing them throughout the factory. Here within many “boxes,” there were thousands, each with a mutant inside. No wonder during the family war, Chen Yuxin could deploy so many mutants undetected by outsiders, built such a large base in East Sea.

After the arrangements, Ye Shikai stood in his place. The surrounding mutants were almost all activated. Uncontrolled, they would certainly crazily pounce when seeing Ye Shikai. Time was tight, and he had no other way.

So much explosive was arranged here; once exploded, even a Body Integration Realm cultivator couldn’t assure survival. Of course, Ye Shikai could choose to flee, but after the explosion, this place would be “barren.” The only solution was to spare no effort in forming an Array to completely seal off the area, preventing the explosion’s power from spreading.

“You brat, what are you planning this time?” Now the Blade Spirit spoke up.

“It’s to blow this place up, of course.”

“You are insane, such force, even if you had nine lives it wouldn’t be enough.” The Blade Spirit angrily scolded, knowing if Ye Shikai died, it, as the Spiritual Body parasitized within him, wouldn’t survive either.

“Stop wasting words, I’ve made my decision, you’d best come and assist me, just don’t talk anymore.” Ye Shikai took out the Netherworld Blade and the You Xi Sword from his Storage Ring.

“Blade Spirit, if these two weapons are pushed to their limits, can they withstand the explosion’s shock wave?” Ye Shikai asked.

“This… maybe they can, as both are Supreme Divine Weapons, but you’re just one person, there’s so much explosive here. Even if they can withstand it, you as a person might not be able to be preserved.”

“No matter what, I must try.” Ye Shikai leaped upwards, reaching the factory’s rooftop the fastest. Below, the mutants were about to act, and although the factory was made of reinforced concrete, it couldn’t withstand the explosion’s shock wave without him.

Ye Shikai drew the Netherworld Blade and You Xi Sword, thrusting them into the ground, then channeled his Inner Strength. Both Divine Artifacts emitted energy, gradually forming a barrier that “covered” over the entire factory.

Ye Shikai indeed possessed many treasures, but at just over twenty years old, his Inner Strength cultivation only reached the Body Integration Realm, nowhere near matching Sect Leaders like Ji Tao and Zheng Li. To gather this barrier to envelop the entire factory was already pushing his limits. He also wasn’t sure if it could withstand the explosion’s shock wave. If possible, he might have a sliver of survival chances; if not, he might truly die here.

“You rascal, every time it’s life-risking.”

“But I survive every time, don’t I?” Ye Shikai joked. He could only cling to hope, praying this time he’d miraculously survive.

“The bomb is about to explode.” Ye Shikai counted down in his mind, preparing for one last fight, at the cost of his life.
