Centuries later, he trained under his second identity, Sword Chen King, until Kui Xiang King broke through and began pursuing him, convinced Ning Ze possessed a Heavy Treasure.

• Kui Xiang King failed to penetrate Ning Ze's defense, suspected he had a Heavy Treasure, and summoned Monster Race allies while pursuing him.

Ning Ze’s pursuit of Kui Xiang King drew in King Chao Mu, who fled after recognizing Gale Sword King, while Ning Ze and his ally killed Kui Xiang King.

As Ning Ze entered the Dead Sea, King Jidian remained trapped by Monster Race and Bug Race forces that had joined together to prevent his rescue.

• Ning Ze used the Hengyu Xunlie Armor and Wheel of Space-time to withstand Howling Heaven King's full-force claw attacks, while the Cloud-Soaring Vine lost divine power.
• Howling Heaven King realized Ning Ze's armor might be a Supreme Treasure and attacked repeatedly, but the blows pushed Ning Ze out of its range.
• Ning Ze fled toward the Dead Sea as Howling Heaven King pursued him, while other experts recognized the chase and some hoped King Jidian could arrive to help.
• King Jidian tried to break through a Monster Race blockade, but Si Nan and five other Zerg Queens led attacks that kept his Purple Extreme Hall from advancing.
• After flying for ten years, Ning Ze reached the Dead Sea and plunged into it, with Howling Heaven King following behind.

Ning Ze endured the Dead Sea’s soul-corroding energies while Howling Heaven King pursued him, then learned that Luo Feng had acquired the Second Tribulation of the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex. When a Heavy Treasure began emerging in the Dead Sea, Ning Ze and Howling Heaven King raced toward it, and Ning Ze sensed the treasure and dense life energy below the collapsing vortex.

• Ning Ze used his Life World technique to block the Dead Sea’s deathly and baleful energies while Howling Heaven King followed, relying on his Soul Slaves to conserve soul power.

• Ning Ze sensed a Heavy Treasure emerging in the Dead Sea and left to claim it before dealing with Howling Heaven King.
• A vortex deep in the Dead Sea collapsed and released waves of baleful energy, deathly energy, and toxic gas; Ning Ze advanced toward the center as Howling Heaven King struggled to maintain his soul-power shield.

Ning Ze and Howling Heaven King fought over a newly born tower-shaped Heavy Treasure in the Dead Sea, each trying to outlast the other amid a growing Baleful Qi Vortex. Ning Ze fled when he realized the Hurricane Bead had triggered a vast, rapidly intensifying disturbance across more than half the Dead Sea, while Howling Heaven King also abandoned the treasure to escape.

• Howling Heaven King repeatedly knocked Ning Ze away from the tower-shaped Heavy Treasure, but Ning Ze used the Hurricane Bead and sword strikes to redirect it toward the vortex.
• When Howling Heaven King blocked Ning Ze from reaching the treasure, Ning Ze strengthened the Baleful Qi Vortex with the Hurricane Bead, and the two challenged each other to endure it.

• Ning Ze suddenly withdrew the Hurricane Bead and fled after sensing the vortex’s transformation, leaving Howling Heaven King stunned.
• Howling Heaven King recognized the rising Tearing Force and fled as well, while Ning Ze’s Sky-Peering Eyes revealed abnormalities spreading across more than half the Dead Sea.

Ning Ze and Howling Heaven King were swept into the Dead Sea vortex, where Ning Ze obtained the Myriad Manifestations Soul Suppressing Pagoda before both emerged in a vast world of abundant life energy and incomplete Laws. Ning Ze began investigating whether he could cultivate or escape, while Howling Heaven King flew off to explore.

• A traveler escaped the Dead Sea after discovering that a vast vortex had formed, while Ning Ze and Howling Heaven King were trapped near its center.
• Ning Ze used the Cloud-Soaring Vine to keep Howling Heaven King from escaping, then prepared to enter the vortex with his Original Body while concealing his Clone and leaving the Hurricane Bead for it.
• As the vortex dragged them deeper, Ning Ze pulled the Myriad Manifestations Soul Suppressing Pagoda toward himself and obtained the Soul Defense Heavy Treasure.
• Ning Ze and Howling Heaven King fell through a spatial gap into an immense world filled with life energy, where Ning Ze discovered that the Laws were incomplete and space was too stable for Teleportation.
• Ning Ze decided to try cultivating in the strange world, while Howling Heaven King began flying through it to survey its size and dangers.

Ning Ze’s Original Body remained trapped in a mysterious space while his Clone escaped, and Chaos City Lord considered whether the space had formed by chance. After Luo Feng invited Ning Ze to join an expedition to Yan Ji Continent’s Sacrifice Towers, Luo Feng proposed bringing a powerful clan brother instead of King Hu Ci.

• Ning Ze escaped the Dead Sea vortex with his Clone, while Chaos City Lord learned that the strange space had incomplete Laws and could not be accessed through the Virtual Universe.

• Luo Feng told King Ye Chen that he wanted to bring a powerful clan brother instead of King Hu Ci, leaving King Ye Chen in a difficult position.

• The Human Race Kings reached the buried tower, examined its entrance and the Soul Attack victims nearby, then met Ice Blade, King Zi Zhong, and King Cang Jin.
• Ning Ze assured King Ye Chen that he could suppress King Cang Jin's strength, and the six Kings traveled through the passage toward the tower's six-pointed-star junction.
• King Ye Chen explained that all six Kings needed to pass their obstacles and insert Tokens to open the Core Area, while King Zi Zhong challenged Ice Blade over the passage's safety.
• After inspecting the flowing-light membrane, Ning Ze told Luo Feng that the passage contained no attack or danger.

Ning Ze entered the Sacrifice Tower with the other human and Mechanical Race experts, while the surviving Yan Ji Clan members prepared to reclaim their heritage. As the groups fought over the treasures, Ning Ze revealed his ability to weaken enemies and withstand King Cang Jin, leaving King Cang Jin ready to switch targets and Ning Ze determined to protect King Ye Chen.

• Ning Ze and King Cang Jin’s group entered the Sacrifice Tower, activating its passages and alerting the Yan Ji Clan’s control system to the invasion.
• The gold-robed elder gathered Yan Ji Clan experts and chose Ning Ze as the invaders’ weakest-looking target, while the Mechanical Race faction planned to seize the heritage treasure.

• King Cang Jin attacked Ning Ze with his Lightning Spear, but Ning Ze’s defense held and his counterattack revealed that he was King level Peak.

• King Cang Jin gave up trying to kill Ning Ze and ordered Ice Blade to switch targets so he could attack King Ye Chen, while Ning Ze recognized the danger and prepared to intervene.

Ning Ze and his allies fought King Cang Jin and King Zi Zhong over the Sacrifice Tower’s treasure, killing Ice Blade with a Soul Attack before King Zi Zhong revealed a Purple Bell Heavy Treasure and trapped them with an amplified Fire God Source Crystal. As the blast ravaged the bell and King Ye Chen faced death, Ning Ze chose to save him, though doing so would require revealing his trump cards.

• Ning Ze used a powerful Soul Attack to overwhelm Ice Blade while King Ye Chen struck him, forcing Ice Blade to self-destruct.
• King Cang Jin and King Zi Zhong burned divine power and attacked, wounding King Ye Chen as Luo Feng evaded them with the Shi Wu Wings.
• King Zi Zhong revealed a defensive Heavy Treasure called the Purple Bell, trapped Ning Ze, Luo Feng, King Ye Chen, and King Cang Jin inside, then threw in an A-812 Fire God Source Crystal.
• The Fire God Source Crystal exploded inside the Purple Bell, but Ning Ze’s defenses let him withstand the blast while King Ye Chen’s Divine Body was rapidly destroyed.
• Ning Ze recognized King Ye Chen’s desperate hope and decided to save him, reassuring him that he would not let him die on their adventure.

Ning Ze used the Hurricane Bead to defeat King Zi Zhong and claim the Purple Bell, then decided to give it to Luo Feng. As Ning Ze and his companions headed for the alien clan’s treasures, the golden-robed elder hurried after them and called for them to wait.

• Ning Ze activated the Hurricane Bead inside the Purple Bell, turning the raging Flame Divine Power against King Cang Jin and forcing King Zi Zhong to flee.
• Ning Ze expanded the hurricane through the Sacrifice Tower, pulled King Zi Zhong back, and killed him before claiming the Purple Bell.
• Ning Ze promised Luo Feng the Purple Bell after studying its Mystic Patterns, and King Ye Chen thanked him for saving his life.

• The golden-robed elder appeared in the passageway and called for Ning Ze and his companions to wait.

Ning Ze, Luo Feng, and King Ye Chen learned that the chest they had found was a decoy and followed a Yan Ji Clan elder to the hidden treasure vault. Luo Feng gained control of the Sacrifice Tower, opened the vault, and King Ye Chen discovered a fortune worth more than 200 billion Chaos Units.

• A golden-robed Yan Ji Clan elder told Ning Ze, Luo Feng, and King Ye Chen that their treasure chest was fake and offered to lead them to the real vault in exchange for the Yan Ji Clan’s inheritance.
• Ning Ze demanded access to the Yan Ji Clan’s Mystic Patterns inheritance and a King’s God Kingdom coordinates, while Luo Feng used his Demon Slayer Race Clone to imitate the elder and pressure him into cooperating.
• The elder led the three humans to a concealed silver-gray door between treasure rooms, where Luo Feng used the Token to gain control of the Sacrifice Tower.
• Luo Feng commanded the Sacrifice Tower to open the vault, revealing an ancient chest secured inside a room made of G-grade Metal.
• Luo Feng opened the chest and found three ownerless World Rings, and King Ye Chen discovered that the first contained items worth over 200 billion Chaos Units.
