Sikong Jing defeated Ling Yuxing and trapped the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family geniuses inside a barrier formed by his demon-beast subordinates. He revealed that he was born human and was the successor of the Nine Heavens Imperial Bloodline, leaving Ling Yuxing to realize why Sikong Jing carried that inheritance.
Sikong Jing interrogated Ling Yuxing and the other Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family geniuses to learn what happened to his parents. He discovered that Sikong Ding and Ling Xiaotian had been captured and had their imperial bloodlines extracted, but their whereabouts remained unknown.
Sikong Jing killed Ling Yuxing and the hundred Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family geniuses, then set out for the Nine Heavens territory to find his parents. Ling Jindi discovered the deaths and left camp with Jun Guxian to investigate.
Jing Yuan emerged from seclusion with Mad Sea Quasi-Emperor’s legacy, slaughtered a Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family squad, and set out to rescue Jun Guxian. Meanwhile, Sikong Jing found and revived a badly injured Sea Court Sect disciple as the search for Jing Yuan continued.
Sikong Jing abandoned his planned confrontation with Ling Jindi to rescue the Sea Court Sect, then found and slaughtered two hundred Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family geniuses. Ling Jindi discovered Sikong Jing had killed an earlier squad as well and retreated to gather his remaining forces.
Sikong Jing and the other disciples wiped out the Heaven-Soaring Imperial team, and the Sea Court Sect offered to follow him. A Quasi-Emperor inheritance spirit appeared from the red-leaf mountain, chose Sikong Jing, and introduced himself as Jun Shengxie, the Evil Seal Patriarch.
Evil Seal Patriarch recognized Jun Feihong as a distant descendant of his brother, the Righteous Seal Ancestor, and gave her his pure essence-blood bloodline. He gave Sikong Jing Heaven-Soaring Emperor’s essence blood and revealed that Nine Heavens had deliberately left a legacy in her essence blood, which Sikong Jing’s father had accidentally obtained.
Sikong Jing persuaded the Evil Seal Patriarch to share his martial inheritance with the Seal Sovereign Empire and secured essence blood for Jun Yiji. After the inheritance was passed on, the Evil Seal Patriarch warned Sikong Jing that the Nine Heavens should be his strongest foundation.
Sikong Jing left the inheritance site for the Nine Heavens territory, while demon beasts enforced his warning against anyone who would help Gan Cun. Days later, Ling Jindi learned that four hundred life lamps had gone out, and an eerie voice claimed responsibility for two hundred deaths.
Sikong Jing confronted the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family and vowed to destroy its future strength, then faced former family head Ling Jindi in battle despite being three major realms weaker. Their opening clash shook the camp and showed that Sikong Jing could resist Ling Jindi’s attack.
Sikong Jing fought Ling Jindi with powers drawn from multiple beast legacies and the Overlord Seal, eventually blasting him back with a critical strike. He then taunted Jun Guxian over losing the Nine Heavens Emperor’s legacy and revealed that Jun Guxian could have inherited the Evil Seal Patriarch’s legacy instead.
Sikong Jing revealed that he had taken the Evil Seal Patriarch's inheritance and fought Ling Jindi with its martial way. When Ling Jindi formed a Thousand-Man Army-Slaying Formation, Sikong Jing rushed into the Nine Heavens territory, while Jing Yuan arrived to stop Ling Jindi's pursuit.
Jing Yuan revealed that he had inherited the Quasi-Emperor Raging Sea and defied Ling Jindi’s orders to protect Jun Guxian, buying Sikong Jing time to enter the Nine Heavens Territory. Sikong Jing went deeper into the clouds and mist to seek the Nine Heavens Emperor’s legacy, but his bloodline drew no response.
Sikong Jing studied ancient Nine Heavens engravings while evading Ling Jindi and his pursuers. He found Jun Meng, who led him to another set of engravings, and began comprehending them.
Sikong Jing gathered more Nine Heavens inscriptions while evading Ling Jindi, then arranged for Jing Yuan and the monsters to delay the pursuers so he could face Ling Jindi alone. He unleashed his Nine Heavens power to draw forth the Emperor's inheritance, trapping Ling Jindi as he tried to retreat.
Sikong Jing battled Ling Jindi while testing whether his Nine Heavens power could summon the Nine Heavens Emperor’s inherited spirit shadow, but it never appeared. As the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family arrived to trap him, Sikong Jing unleashed a colossal demonic claw against their Thousand-Man Army-Slaying Formation.
Sikong Jing’s demonic claw failed to defeat Ling Jindi, but it awakened the Nine Heavens Emperor’s inherited spirit projection. She recognized Sikong Jing and spoke of a tragedy that could no longer be prevented before ordering everyone to leave her territory.
The Nine Heavens Emperor expelled everyone from her territory, then reappeared to give Sikong Jing a bottle of essence blood. As the enraged Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family attacked and Jing Yuan helped Sikong Jing escape, Sikong Jing discovered the blood was from a Magic Beast, not the Nine Heavens Emperor.
Sikong Jing realized that the Nine Heavens Emperor had given him the essence blood of a Blood Devour Magic Beast, possibly hoping he could save the creature she had once suppressed. Despite the beasts’ warnings, he inhaled some of its aura, and a world-threatening black Magic Beast appeared in an illusion before him.
Sikong Jing absorbed the Blood Devour Magic Beast’s essence blood, overcame its demonic influence, and advanced his spiritual shadows into the Divine Martial Stage. Surrounded by Ling Jindi’s forces, he unveiled his Nine Heavens Imperial Bloodline and Demonic Path Fourfold Body, then entered the Thousand-Man Army-Slaying Formation to destroy it.
Sikong Jing broke the Thousand-Man Army-Slaying Formation and overwhelmed Ling Jindi, turning the battle against the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family. As Sikong Jing and his allies hunted down the fleeing enemies, Jun Guxian learned his restriction had been lifted and chose to head for Evil Seal Patriarch’s territory without Jing Yuan.
Jun Guxian left the camp with the Sovereign Seal members, while the Nine Heavens Emperor’s spiritual shadow revealed that Sikong Jing was the new Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and might be able to save the Blood Devour Magic Beast. Outside the Imperial Legacy Battlefield, the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family learned that nearly all its geniuses had died as Sikong Jing defeated Ling Jindi and trapped him, waiting for the demonic beasts to gather.
Sikong Jing kept Ling Jindi captive while waiting to question him, but Ling Jindi summoned the Heaven-Soaring Emperor, who appeared and demanded Sikong Jing help recover the Nine Heavens Emperor's corpse. The Heaven-Soaring Emperor tried to force Sikong Jing into accepting a deadly restriction, leaving him enveloped in golden light.
Sikong Jing survived the Heaven-Soaring Emperor’s attempt to seize him, interrogated Ling Jindi for information about the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family, and learned more about the order to conquer ferocious beast souls. He then set out with the demonic beasts toward Evil Seal Patriarch’s territory, planning to claim a Quasi-Emperor inheritance along the way.
After Ling Jindi’s death, Ling Dongwei threatened retaliation against whoever had killed him, while Sikong Jing obtained the Blade Shadow Sky Fox’s inheritance and continued toward the Evil Seal Patriarch’s territory. There, Jun Feihong completed her transformation, accepted Mao Xiao, and warned the inheritance recipients not to disrespect Sikong Jing.
