• Forged Rock failed to catch Chai Ren, and Sikong Jing concluded that Chai Jiu was likely still trapped in the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation.

Sikong Jing planned to pursue Ling Yusong and Chai Ren into the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation, identifying the Blood Demon Grand Formation as their likely route. Chai Ren escaped through a spatial passage with Ling Yusong near death and headed back to seek Chai Jiu's help.

• Sikong Jing decided to let Chai Ren enter the absolute formation and planned to kill Ling Yusong and his rescuers inside it.

Sikong Jing and his companions crossed the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation toward the Blood Demon Grand Formation, planning to kill Ling Yusong and learn more about his parents’ fate. Inside the formation, Chai Ren returned to Chai Jiu with Ling Yusong and proposed using the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family’s support against Black Scale.

• Sikong Jing’s group followed Heavenly Heart Sacred Ancestor’s route across the islands and prepared to avoid Chai Jiu’s strength inside the Blood Demon Grand Formation.

• Chai Ren told Chai Jiu that Ling Yusong was a direct-line young master of the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family and argued that saving him could win their support against Black Scale and help reclaim the Cangyu Sect.

• Sikong Jing invoked Blood Devour against Ling Yusong’s spirit shadow.

Sikong Jing watched as Ling Yusong’s spirit shadow was devoured before it could clearly reveal the secret of the Sikong Couple’s son and the Nine Heavens legacy. A mysterious figure then broke through the Blood Demon Grand Formation, and Sikong Jing recognized him as Zhan Hu.

• Ling Yusong’s spirit shadow weakened under Sikong Jing’s demonic qi, and Chai Jiu failed to stabilize it.
• Ling Yusong tried to tell Chai Jiu to inform his grandfather about Sikong Jing, while Sikong Jing planned to retreat and later kill the Chai brothers inside the absolute formation.
• An explosion in the Blood Demon Grand Formation drowned out Ling Yusong’s words, and his spirit shadow dispersed before the Chai brothers could learn what he meant.

• The Blood Demon Grand Formation split open, black-and-blue seawater poured in, and a half-human, half-beast figure appeared above them.
• Sikong Jing recognized the newcomer as Zhan Hu.

Sikong Jing and the others discovered that Zhan Hu had been possessed by Cang Lang, the first master of the Cang Vein. Cang Lang subdued Chai Jiu and questioned him about the current Cangyu Sect and its demonfolk.

• Chai Jiu knelt and apologized for insulting Cang Lang, while Cang Lang dismissed both brothers as useless.
• Cang Lang asked Chai Jiu about his position in the Cangyu Sect and why demonfolk were still present instead of enslaved.

Cang Lang berated Chai Jiu for losing to Sikong Jing, then gave him the Cang Vein inheritance and ordered him to learn a possession technique.

• Chai Ren told Cang Lang how Sikong Jing and Black Scale had outmaneuvered Chai Jiu on Gods and Devils Island.

• Cang Lang dismissed Chai Ren as useless and offered Sikong Jing the Demon War and Cang Vein inheritances if he would become his disciple and eventually surrender his body.

Sikong Jing resisted Cang Lang’s demand to become his disciple and used knowledge of Black Demon Old Ancestor to unsettle him. Cang Lang demanded Black Demon’s inheritance in exchange for letting Sikong Jing go, but Sikong Jing refused unless Zhan Hu lived.

• Sikong Jing demanded that Cang Lang spare Zhan Hu, but Cang Lang insisted that Zhan Hu’s body was needed and gave Sikong Jing a quarter-hour to submit.

• Sikong Jing claimed that Black Demon Old Ancestor had taken an interest in him and reminded Cang Lang of Black Demon’s overwhelming power and inheritance.
• Cang Lang demanded Black Demon’s inheritance in return for letting Sikong Jing go, but Sikong Jing refused unless Zhan Hu lived.

Cang Lang threatened Sikong Jing and the demon men to force Sikong Jing to surrender his spiritual shadow, then absorbed it into Zhan Hu’s body. Sikong Jing’s plan left Forged Rock and the others escaping the Blood Demon Grand Formation while Zhan Hu fought to restrain Cang Lang.

• Cang Lang attacked Sikong Jing and blasted Forged Rock and the other four demon men away when they tried to intervene.
• Cang Lang threatened to kill Forged Rock and the others unless Sikong Jing released his spiritual shadow, and Sikong Jing asked whether the absorption could endanger Cang Lang’s possession.
• Sikong Jing released his spiritual shadow, entered Cang Lang’s body, and ordered Forged Rock to escape the Blood Demon Grand Formation.
• Zhan Hu broke through Cang Lang’s control and held him back while Forged Rock and the other demon men fled into the sea.
• Cang Lang regained control briefly and attacked the fleeing demon men, but Zhan Hu weakened the strike before Cang Lang offered Chai Ren the Cang Vein inheritance to protect him.

Sikong Jing revealed that his human-form and demon-form spiritual shadows had both entered Zhan Hu, then used the demon-form shadow to ally with him against Cang Lang. Zhan Hu passed Sikong Jing the first Lord of the Demon Vein’s inheritance so they could strengthen Zhan Hu and drive Cang Lang away.

• Chai Ren accepted Cang Lang’s inheritance and guarded him while Cang Lang prepared to absorb Black Scale’s memories from Zhan Hu.
• Sikong Jing’s true body secretly swam toward the island where the so-called unlucky ones were gathered.
• Inside Zhan Hu’s Spirit Platform, Cang Lang suppressed Sikong Jing’s human-form spiritual shadow and began trying to read its memories.
• Sikong Jing revealed his hidden demon-form spiritual shadow to Zhan Hu and asked him to keep attacking Cang Lang to buy time.
• Zhan Hu opened his memories to Sikong Jing, who received Demon War’s martial skills, secret arts, battle memories, and martial will.

Sikong Jing used a flood of fierce-beast meridian memories to delay Cang Lang while absorbing Demonic Battle's inheritance. Meanwhile, he reached the people trapped in the Blood Demon Grand Formation and watched as one woman asked whether they still had any hope.

• Sikong Jing absorbed Demonic Battle's inheritance, focusing on strengthening his spirit shadow and learning a higher-grade cultivation art to pass on to Zhan Hu.
• Zhan Hu attacked Cang Lang's spirit-shadow power to keep him distracted while Sikong Jing's demonic-form spirit shadow continued its comprehension.
• Cang Lang found Sikong Jing's memories filled with chaotic fierce-beast and divine-beast meridians, then repeatedly tried to sort through them and break the encryption.
• Sikong Jing reached the shore inside the Blood Demon Grand Formation and saw that the imprisoned people were weak, drained by the formation, and kept alive by fading Nine Heavens power seeds.
• A hoarse woman holding a child asked the patriarch whether they truly had no hope left, and Sikong Jing watched from the shadows.

Sikong Jing saw the misery of the people trapped inside the Blood Demon Grand Formation and decided to contact their elders in secret. After Sikong Xinyu gathered them, the elders approached him while Chai Ren remained unaware of their plans.

• The old Patriarch and other captives told a woman that Chai Jiu and the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family’s young master had worsened their suffering, leaving her with little hope for her child.
• A graying middle-aged man seized the woman’s child in anger but embraced him again when the child called him Grandpa.
• Sikong Jing, hidden nearby, felt grief for the captives and noticed a frail girl who had no blood threads on her body.

• Sikong Xinyu secretly informed the Patriarch, who gathered more than a dozen elders to meet Sikong Jing.
• Chai Ren noticed the captives’ mood had changed but dismissed them as powerless.

Sikong Jing met the despairing elders trapped in the Blood Demon Grand Formation and obtained the Light-Returning Mirror containing a method to sever their restraints. Their leader distrusted him and accused him of seeking to use them, while Sikong Xinyu recognized that he had arrived as Uncle Ding and Aunt Ling had promised.

• Sikong Jing met more than a dozen old men beneath a pile of corpses on Corpse Bone Island, and their cane-bearing leader demanded to know what he wanted in return for helping them.
• Sikong Jing asked whether they knew how to break the Blood Demon Grand Formation's restraints, and the elders said they had a method but warned that severing the restraints would prevent him from using their power to leave the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation.
• Sikong Jing said he could leave the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation on his own, so the leading old man handed him the Light-Returning Mirror and explained that it held a method left by a good person more than a decade earlier.
• The leading old man mocked Sikong Jing and accused him of wanting to control the elders, while Sikong Jing remained silent and studied the mirror.
• Sikong Xinyu defended Uncle Ding and Aunt Ling, saying Sikong Jing's arrival after more than ten years proved they had not been wrong.

Sikong Jing used the Light-Returning Mirror to witness Sikong Ding and Ling fighting the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family and learned how deeply they had fought for him and Ling'er. Though Sikong Luomiao assumed Jing had failed and was only pretending to care, Jing's tears revealed his grief, while his spirit shadows continued their struggle against Cang Lang and Jing asked whether he now had a thirty-percent chance of winning.

• Sikong Jing entered the Light-Returning Mirror and watched Sikong Ding face the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family's forces while Ling protected the others.
• Sikong Xinyu defended Sikong Ding and Ling, but Sikong Luomiao blamed them for the family's suffering and said Jing would fail to find the formation's control method.
• Sikong Jing spat blood while watching his parents fight desperately, break through to the Divine Martial Stage, and keep going for him and Ling'er.
• Sikong Xinyu noticed that Sikong Jing was crying, leaving the elders confused about his apparent grief.
• Within Zhan Hu's Spirit Platform sea of consciousness, Jing's demonic spirit shadow studied Demon War's inheritance as his humanoid spirit shadow resisted Cang Lang, then asked if he had a thirty-percent chance of winning the gamble.

Cang Lang brought Chai Jiu into Zhan Hu’s Spirit Platform sea of consciousness to help crush Zhan Hu, but Sikong Jing strengthened Zhan Hu by sharing his Demonic Battle insights. Cang Lang then forced the Cang Vein inheritance into Sikong Jing to overwhelm his encrypted memories, and began searching them for the Black Demon Patriarch’s inheritance.

• Cang Lang summoned Chai Jiu’s spirit shadow and ordered him to join the attack on Zhan Hu.
• Chai Jiu and Cang Lang nearly overwhelmed Zhan Hu, but Sikong Jing shared his Demonic Battle insights with Zhan Hu, empowering him to push them back.
• Sikong Jing helped Zhan Hu build a stronger defense in his Spirit Platform sea of consciousness, while Cang Lang instructed Chai Jiu to comprehend more of the Cang Vein inheritance.
• Cang Lang forced the Cang Vein inheritance into Sikong Jing’s humanoid spirit shadow to disrupt his encrypted memories.
• Cang Lang broke into Sikong Jing’s memories and searched for everything connected to the Black Demon Patriarch.

Sikong Jing tricked Cang Lang into giving him the Cang Vein inheritance while hiding that he had three Spirit Shadows. As Cang Lang tried to threaten him by retrieving his true body, Sikong Jing assured Zhan Hu that another Spirit Shadow remained there.

• Cang Lang found no trace of Black Demon's inheritance in Sikong Jing's memory world and realized Sikong Jing's humanoid Spirit Shadow had self-destructed.
• Sikong Jing revealed that his demon-form Spirit Shadow had received the Demon War inheritance and that he had used another Spirit Shadow to draw Cang Lang's attention.
• Sikong Jing told Cang Lang he now possessed the Demon Vein and Cang Vein inheritances and would use Cang Vein's secret art to force him from Zhan Hu's Spirit Platform sea of consciousness.
• Cang Lang ordered Chai Ren to retrieve Sikong Jing's true body while Chai Jiu stood ready to protect him.
• Sikong Jing told Zhan Hu that he had three Spirit Shadows and said he had self-destructed one to keep Cang Lang from seeing certain memories.
