My Days Catching Ghosts in the Countryside

The furnace flames devoured flesh and blood, and Tang Guo was offered up alive as a sacrificial nail.

A dark-gold fiendish weapon was born in molten rock, yet remained trapped beneath the Ninefold Abyss's frozen prison.

This place was neither human nor ghost. It was a living cage:

A black-robed judge served as its talisman, while beast-faced fangs formed its locks.

Behind a colossal bronze gate ten thousand zhang tall,

a tumor built from the world's ruins throbbed with billions of eyes filled with pain.

When filthy dragon blood soaked the nail's tip,

when the ashes of Evil-Burning kindled a blasphemous flame,

Tang Guo's lingering consciousness roared beneath the ice:

"Why should fate be decided by Heaven?!"

The freed fiendish nail tore through its seal.

Dark-blue gelatinous matter carried whispers of world-ending doom,

while a ruined corpse with half an oil-stained flatbread lodged in its chest

began to seep platinum starlight from a forsaken corner...

The boy returned to life bearing a core of annihilation.

Behind him, the shadow of an abyssal dragon unleashed a relentless pursuit;

before him, the Zhen Yu Si laid a vast and deadly trap.

The judge's game of chess finally bared its fangs,

and deep within the tumor,

the bloodstained "key" began to turn slowly...

When the fiendish nail pierces bone and the flatbread's warmth has yet to fade,

can the bloodfire of one who returns from the brink of death burn through this man-eating living prison?
