There, Master Faji explained that the Nine Continents were nearing the end of the Kalpa of Destruction and that the Black Tide might be its final calamity.

• Si Ming let the Glazed Temple’s followers believe he was Buddha Rōcana, and Fahong praised his choice while guiding the visitors toward the rear hall.

• Master Faji said the Nine Continents were in the final stage of the Kalpa of Destruction and identified the Black Tide as the calamity of wind preceding the world’s destruction.

Si Ming proposed using the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda as a model for resisting the Kalpa of Destruction, while Yu Shuying and Si Jingyu argued that the group had time to research a solution. He then revealed that Alto Dengbulishao had once contained a destructive force resembling the Black Tide, leaving the group with a precedent to investigate.

• Si Ming urged the group to study and reproduce the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, and Faji admitted that the Glazed Temple had failed to understand or imitate it effectively.

• Si Jingyu and Si Huaruo enclosed Si Ming in protective ice while he exposed himself to uranium crystal radiation to cultivate the Polonium Poison Primordial Spirit Body.

Si Ming absorbed uranium ore to master the Uranium Crystal State and powered up the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda until its light dispelled the Black Tide. The victory was interrupted by a terrifying presence approaching, and Si Ming insisted the gathered experts stay and face it.

• Si Ming absorbed the uranium crystal ore, recovered his strength, and demonstrated the Uranium Crystal State of the Polonium Poison Primordial Spirit Body.

• Hongdou displaced Si Ming to sever his connection to the pagoda, while Fahong urged the experts to retreat.
• Si Ming said escape was useless and prepared to fight the approaching threat with most of his Primal Qi intact.

The Demon-Suppressing Pagoda held back the Black Tide as Abbot Fahong supplied it with Primal Qi, giving the group hope that they could endure the Kalpa of Destruction. A voice from the Black Tide claimed to be a higher-dimensional existence, and the group discovered that each person perceived the pagoda differently.

• Si Ming refused to flee as the Black Tide attacked, and the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda shielded the group with the eight classes of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

• Si Ming asked the group to describe the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, and they discovered that each person saw it differently.

Si Ming and the others confronted the awakened Extinction Consciousness of the Nine Continents, and Si Ming argued that the world could still be saved. The entity entered the pagoda’s protective range in the form of the Netherworld Insect Princess, whose identity Si Ming recognized from an earlier account.

• The Extinction Consciousness revealed that it would bring about the Nine Continents’ destruction, but Si Ming and Ying Zhou rejected her claims that their resistance was futile.
• Ying Zhou challenged the entity to enter the pagoda, and the Black Tide seeped through the barrier before taking the shape of a pale, silver-haired girl.
• Si Ming recognized the girl as the Netherworld Insect Princess from Xu Zhengyi’s account of the devastation in the Barbarian Continent.
• The girl recalled that someone had called her the Netherworld Insect Princess and said she had no true name, so Si Ming chose to call her by that title.

He then launched a nuclear attack, and as the first explosion raised a mushroom cloud, he opened another case and prepared a second blast.

• Si Jingyu wiped the sweat from Si Ming’s forehead and told him he had no responsibility to meet the Glazed Temple’s expectations.

Si Ming rejected Si Jingyu’s suggestion that they leave the Barbarian Continent and resolved to help stop the Netherworld Insect Princess, while considering a long war or the Sacred Sword as possible ways to defeat her. After recovering in the Sarira Hall, he decided to contact the Saintess for help, as Beast King Anye continued harassing the group to seize another practitioner of the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique.

• Si Jingyu urged Si Ming to return to the Sea Continent, but Si Ming said the Netherworld Insect Princess threatened both continents and that he wanted to become a Grandmaster and protect others.

• Wan Ziqiu and Zheng Jingyuan stayed in seclusion so Beast King Anye could not exploit their recovery.

Si Ming contacted Tu Wangyue across continents and learned that the Mohist School Sacred Sword could overcome the group’s predicament if its wielder fought for all living beings. Tu Wangyue agreed to send the sword through the space-time tunnel, and Si Ming returned to Glazed Temple with the plan.

• Si Ming used the Aniruddha Heavenly Eye and the holy maiden’s hair ribbon to reach Tu Wangyue’s spiritual consciousness, finding her cultivating beneath a waterfall.
• Si Ming explained the crisis on the Barbarian Continent, and Tu Wangyue confirmed that the Sacred Sword’s Six Heavens Forbidden Sword could counter it with the correct attribute.
• Tu Wangyue said she could send the Sacred Sword through the space-time tunnel instead of traveling herself, and explained that its sword formation required the wielder to fight for all living beings.
• Si Ming confirmed the tunnel’s time and location with Tu Wangyue before the communication ended and he returned to Glazed Temple.
• Si Ming told Yu Shuying and the others about the Sacred Sword’s abilities, and Xia Guanxue cautioned that its power did not make combat experience or stamina irrelevant.

After Wan Ziqiu intervened and the Glazed Temple’s bells strengthened Henzhen, she broke Anye’s bone blade and prepared to finish him, but he caught the Saber of Evil Karma in his hands.

• Henzhen used the Unity of Monster and Buddha to battle Beast King Anye, and both recovered quickly from their wounds.
