Meanwhile, Sikong Jing and his companions arrived at Crescent Moon Sea, where Ling Dongwei’s forces lay in wait, and prepared to fight their way into Crescent Moon Continent.

Sikong Jing expected Ling Dongwei to have planted bait and a trap there, and the group continued toward the camp despite the danger.

• Sikong Jing, Luo Guangmang, and Bian Fei shattered the Army-Slaying Formation and escaped the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family’s encirclement.
• The encirclement leader chose not to pursue them, reasoning that Ling Dongwei had relocated the Straight Wind clansmen and laid a trap for Sikong Jing.
• Luo Guangmang warned Sikong Jing that the main camp was probably deserted because Ling Dongwei’s order had arrived days earlier.
• Sikong Jing said they still had to search the main camp for the clansmen and expected Ling Dongwei to use bait to lure him into a trap.

Sikong Jing and his companions reached the Straight Wind Lineage’s headquarters to find the Crescent Moon members, only to discover Ling Mi’er’s blinded Third Uncle imprisoned as bait.

• Sikong Jing took Ling Mi’er’s Third Uncle out of the palace complex, but the man revealed that he was marked as the torrent’s trigger and begged Sikong Jing to abandon him.

Sikong Jing recognized the torrent as a trap meant to drag him and Ling Mi’er’s Third Uncle into Evil Crescent River, while Luo Guangmang and the others escaped its strongest force. As the torrent carried Sikong Jing and Third Uncle away, Sikong Jing revealed that he was Sword Star and reassured the dying man that he would survive.

• As the torrent pulled them toward Evil Crescent River, Sikong Jing shielded Third Uncle and revealed that he was Sword Star.
• Sikong Jing reassured Third Uncle that he would survive and that Mi’er’s allies would use captured Straight Wind Lineage clansmen to protect the Crescent Moon Lineage.

Luo Guangmang and Ling Mi'er captured Straight Wind Lineage members who had watched Sikong Jing and Ling Zhixin be swept into Evil Crescent River, uncovering the cruelty behind Ling Zhixin’s fate.

Ling Jianpu and the Crescent Moon Lineage struggled to survive in exile until Ling Zhisui arrived with news of Ling Jianxing’s return and Ling Mi’er’s rescue. He revealed that Ling Dongwei had sent the Straight Wind Lineage to destroy them despite the Family Head’s intention to spare them.

• Ling Jianpu brought a demon fish to feed the starving Crescent Moon Lineage, while his clansmen lamented their exile and blamed Ling Xiaotian and Ling Dongwei.

• Ling Zhisui said the Family Head meant to spare the Crescent Moon Lineage, but Ling Dongwei had ordered the Straight Wind Lineage to wipe them out.

Ling Zhisui halted his attack on the Crescent Moon Lineage after learning Ling Mi'er had threatened his family, then surrounded the city and began negotiations. Inside the Evil Crescent River, Sikong Jing protected Ling Zhixin from its corrosive power and discovered the river’s gale came from the War Emperor Divine Flood Dragon, which might still be alive.

• Ling Zhisui learned Ling Jianxing had been swept into the Evil Crescent River and ordered the Straight Wind Lineage to attack the Crescent Moon Lineage’s city.

• A Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family force sealed the entrance to the Evil Crescent River to prevent Ling Jianxing from escaping.
• Sikong Jing landed inside the Evil Crescent River with Ling Zhixin and strengthened the barriers protecting him from the river’s erosion.
• Sikong Jing recognized the gale as the breath of the War Emperor Divine Flood Dragon, and the Golden Divine Dragon identified it as a powerful beast that might not be dead.

Sikong Jing discovered that the Evil Crescent River held the remnant soul of the War Emperor Divine Flood Dragon and tried to protect Ling Zhixin while planning against Ling Dongwei. After contacting Luo Guangmang and setting the Crescent Moon Lineage’s next moves, he led Ling Zhixin back into the river, where Ling Zhixin realized he was not Jianxing.

• Sikong Jing identified the river’s force as a soul draw and reasoned that the Divine Flood Dragon’s remnant soul might explain the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family’s conquest of beast souls.
• Sikong Jing took Ling Zhixin toward the river’s exit but found Ling Dongwei’s troops surrounding it, so he decided to go deeper instead.
• Sikong Jing contacted Luo Guangmang and told him to gather the captured Straight Wind clan members, join the Crescent Moon Lineage in the Crescent Moon Wasteland, and prepare for Ling Dongwei’s arrival in about twelve days.
• Sikong Jing reassured Ling Zhixin that the Emperor Ling Tian family head would protect the Crescent Moon Lineage, then led him back into the Evil Crescent River.
• Ling Zhixin told Sikong Jing, “You... are not Jian Xing.”

Sikong Jing revealed his identity to Ling Zhixin and learned of legends about a route from the Evil Crescent River to the Crescent Moon Wasteland. At the river’s deepest point, they found a terrifying void rift and entered it, with Sikong Jing concealing his aura against possible traps.

• Sikong Jing admitted to Ling Zhixin that he was Sikong Jing, Ling Xiaotian’s son, and explained why he was trying to save the Crescent Moon Lineage and Ling Mi'er.

• Ling Zhixin recounted legends of the Crescent Moon Wasteland and a possible void rift, prompting Sikong Jing to wonder whether it connected to the world where his parents were said to be.
• Divine Turtle rejected the legend that the Divine Flood Dragon’s corpse had formed the Evil Crescent River, while the Golden Divine Dragon warned Sikong Jing that a void rift could contain arrangements left by the Flame Prison Heavenly Emperor.
• After two and a half days, Sikong Jing reached the river’s deepest point, found a black rift carrying the Divine Flood Dragon’s remnant aura, concealed his beast-vein dantian with the Heaven-Soaring Emperor’s essence blood, and entered with Ling Zhixin.

Sikong Jing entered the void-rift world and discovered that the shattered War Emperor Divine Flood Dragon’s corpse linked it to Boundless Sea. He found traces of Ling Dongwei’s recent work and, after leaving the corpse, saw a vast network of connected stones and a distant land where human figures moved.

• Sikong Jing arrived inside the Divine Flood Dragon’s inner core and realized it was absorbing Boundless Sea’s vitality to restore itself.
• Sikong Jing found recently shattered crystals and concluded that Ling Dongwei had entered the corpse and set up a formation to subdue the Divine Flood Dragon soul or repair its inner core.
• Sikong Jing sensed no trace of the Divine Flood Dragon soul, reinforced the barriers protecting Ling Zhixin, and left him inside the corpse.
• Sikong Jing emerged onto a barren stone floating in darkness and saw that the Divine Flood Dragon’s corpse stretched between the void-rift world and Crescent Moon Continent.
• Sikong Jing followed concealed formation patterns across the void and discovered connected stones leading to a vast land with moving human figures.

Sikong Jing spotted people on a distant continent and suspected his parents might be there, so he crossed the void toward it despite the rules suppressing his true qi. He reached a barrier powered by the Flame Prison Heavenly Emperor and stopped, watching people being forced to dig and carry things.

• Sikong Jing saw many human figures on a distant continent and wondered if his parents were there.
• Sikong Jing struggled against the void's suppressive force, returned to the divine flood dragon's corpse, and rescued Ling Zhixin.

• Sikong Jing spent five days crossing the void and discovered array patterns linked to the Divine Flood Dragon's remnant soul.
• Sikong Jing reached a boulder near the continent but stopped before the Flame Prison Heavenly Emperor's barrier.
• Sikong Jing watched people dig and carry things while others drove them with whips.

Sikong Jing found his parents, Sikong Ding and Ling Xiaotian, among the enslaved miners in the void-rift world but could not reach them without risking exposure. After a strange energy struck Sikong Ding and earned him and Ling Xiaotian a day of rest, Sikong Jing flew away, while his parents believed they had glimpsed A-Jing.

• Sikong Jing recognized his frail parents digging in the void-rift world and restrained himself from breaking through the barrier to save them.
• A meteor-like light pierced the barrier and entered Sikong Ding, causing the miners and overseers to stop and stare.
• An overseer chief congratulated Sikong Ding and allowed him to rest, so he and Ling Xiaotian left the mining ground together.
• Sikong Jing concluded that Sikong Ding had absorbed bizarre energy as a vessel, then flew toward the Flood Dragon's corpse without revealing himself.
• Ling Xiaotian told Sikong Ding that she thought she had seen A-Jing, and Sikong Ding admitted he thought so too.
• Ling Xiaotian questioned why Sikong Ding deliberately absorbed the energy despite the torment that followed, and he explained that he wanted her to have a day of rest.

Sikong Ding and Ling Xiaotian were trapped in the void rift, where Ling Zhonghuang came to drain the bizarre energy from Sikong Ding. Ling Zhonghuang blamed them for the deaths of several relatives and left after declaring the Crescent Moon Lineage would be wiped out.

• Sikong Ding told Ling Xiaotian that he sensed the Nine Heavens Emperor’s aura in the void rift and hoped it might help restore his strength.
• Ling Zhonghuang woke Sikong Ding and Ling Xiaotian, ordered Ling Xiaotian to return to mining, and crushed them with his aura.
• Ling Zhonghuang blamed Sikong Ding for Ling Yusong’s death and drained the bizarre void energy from his body.
• Ling Xiaotian challenged Ling Zhonghuang over his family’s slaughter of the Sikong Family, and he accused her of bringing about the deaths of his relatives.
• Ling Zhonghuang told Ling Xiaotian that Ling Ertian had died at Ling Jianxing’s hands, then left after blaming the couple for the Crescent Moon Lineage’s destruction.

Ling Xiaotian and Sikong Ding endured imprisonment in Ling Dongwei’s void-rift world, clinging to life so their spirit projections could protect their children. Unaware of his parents’ struggle, Sikong Jing neared the War Emperor Divine Flood Dragon’s corpse and sensed his true qi flowing more smoothly from another direction.

• Ling Xiaotian refused to be dragged and returned to the mining grounds, while an overseer revived Sikong Ding and explained that no one in the void-rift world could leave.
• Sikong Ding taunted the overseer and said he and Ling Xiaotian endured their suffering to witness Ling Dongwei’s family face disaster.
• After the overseer left, Sikong Ding revealed that he and Ling Xiaotian stayed alive so their spirit projections could protect A-Jing and Ling'er.
• Ling Xiaotian returned to the cave and mourned the Crescent Moon Lineage, and Sikong Ding urged her not to show Ling Zhonghuang that she felt guilty.
• Sikong Jing continued toward the Divine Flood Dragon’s corpse and noticed his true qi flowing more smoothly from a direction to its slanted right.

Sikong Jing discovered a hidden entrance from the rift world to the Crescent Moon Wasteland and returned to hurry back to the Divine Flood Dragon's corpse. Meanwhile, Ling Dongwei reached the Evil Crescent River, ordered the Straight Wind Lineage to kill Crescent Moon people, and went searching for Sikong Jing, whom he believed was trapped there.

• Sikong Jing found a tiny whirlpool opening that led from the rift world into a forbidden land in the Crescent Moon Wasteland, then returned through it to race toward the Divine Flood Dragon's corpse.
• Ling Dongwei arrived at the Crescent Moon Continent and learned that Ling Jianxing had been drawn into the Evil Crescent River, while Ling Mi'er and Ling Jianxing's helper had captured members of the Straight Wind Lineage.
• Ling Dongwei ordered Ling Zhisui to kill ordinary Crescent Moon people, threatening to destroy the Straight Wind Lineage if he refused.
• Ling Dongwei learned that Ling Jianxing's helper seemed to be a remnant of the Frontier General Sect, then entered the Evil Crescent River alone to pursue Ling Jianxing.
• Ling Dongwei failed to find Ling Jianxing near the place where the current had taken him and continued deeper into the river.

Ling Dongwei searched the depths of the Evil Crescent River for Ling Jianxing, then ordered the Crescent Moon Continent sealed while he inspected the War Emperor Divine Flood Dragon's corpse. As Ling Zhisui prepared to attack the Crescent Moon Lineage, Ling Mi'er and Luo Guangmang tried to buy time from aboard their ship, with Luo claiming Ling Jianxing would keep Ling Dongwei occupied.

• Ling Dongwei failed to find Ling Jianxing, ordered the Crescent Moon Continent sealed, and returned to the Evil Crescent River to inspect the War Emperor Divine Flood Dragon's corpse.
• Ling Zhisui announced Ling Dongwei's order to kill the Crescent Moon Lineage's ordinary members, but Ling Jianpu warned that their captive Straight Wind clansmen would die in retaliation.
• The Straight Wind Lineage's experts urged Ling Zhisui to negotiate, and he contacted Ling Mi'er while the Crescent Moon Lineage prepared to fight.
• Ling Mi'er told Luo Guangmang that Ling Zhisui had been ordered to attack, and Luo proposed stalling him by making the Straight Wind Lineage think it could rescue its captives.
• Luo Guangmang told Ling Zhisui that Ling Jianxing was safe in the Evil Crescent River and would keep Ling Dongwei occupied for at least three days.

Luo Guangmang bought time for the Crescent Moon Lineage by persuading Ling Zhisui to delay his attack while the Straight Wind Lineage searched for its captured clansmen. Sikong Jing returned to the War Emperor Divine Flood Dragon's corpse and found that Ling Zhixin had recovered, regained his sight, and reached the Super Divine Martial realm.

• Ling Zhisui doubted Luo Guangmang's claims about Ling Jianxing until he learned that Ling Dongwei could not be contacted and had ordered Crescent Moon Continent sealed off.
• Ling Zhisui agreed to delay killing the Crescent Moon Lineage for three days and planned to ambush Ling Mi'er and the Frontier General Sect remnants to rescue his clansmen.
• Luo Guangmang told Ling Mi'er that the Straight Wind Lineage would wait while they continued toward the Crescent Moon Wasteland and hoped Sikong Jing could hold off Ling Dongwei.
• Sikong Jing returned to the War Emperor Divine Flood Dragon's corpse and discovered Ling Zhixin absorbing the rift world's strange energy.
• Ling Zhixin broke through to the Super Divine Martial realm, regained his eyes, and told Sikong Jing he had found fortune amid disaster.

Sikong Jing learned that Ling Zhixin had absorbed ancient Heavenly Emperor power, restoring him and raising him to the Super Divine Martial Realm. He brought his uncle to the Crescent Moon Wasteland exit and urged him to help rescue the Crescent Moon Lineage, while the purpose of the Flame Prison Heavenly Emperor’s formation remained unknown.

• Sikong Jing told Ling Zhixin about the Void Rift World, the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family’s plans, and the Imperial Legacy Battlefield, and Ling Zhixin praised him for killing Ling Yusong.
• Ling Zhixin explained that a meteor-like energy had transformed his crippled Heaven-Soaring Imperial Bloodline, restored him, and raised him to the Super Divine Martial Realm.
• The Divine Turtle and other beasts explained that ancient Heavenly Emperor power could drift through the Void Rift World, while the Eternal Night Wolf King connected the energy to the Flame Prison Heavenly Emperor’s formation and the Divine Flood Dragon’s corpse.
• Sikong Jing wondered whether the Nine Heavens Emperor had trapped the Blood Devour Magic Beast in a void rift, but the beasts said the creature could consume worlds and bizarre void energy.
• Sikong Jing saw another streak of bizarre energy merge into the Divine Flood Dragon’s corpse and suspected the corpse was absorbing energy as a vessel under the Flame Prison Heavenly Emperor’s formation.
• Sikong Jing brought Ling Zhixin to the Crescent Moon Wasteland exit and asked him to coordinate with Mi'er and the others to rescue the Crescent Moon Lineage; Ling Zhixin told him not to blame himself for the past between their families.

Sikong Jing hid inside the divine flood dragon's corpse while Ling Dongwei searched the Void Rift World, then avoided detection as Ling Dongwei left for the Crescent Moon Wasteland. A meteor-like stream of void energy struck Sikong Jing, and he realized it carried the Nine Heavens Emperor's Blood Devour Magic Beast attribute.

• Ling Zhixin thanked Sikong Jing, urged him to stay alive, and left through the small vortex opening.
• Sikong Jing disguised his aura as the divine flood dragon and hid when he sensed Ling Dongwei entering the Void Rift World.
• Ling Dongwei activated the Prison Heaven Grand Formation but failed to find Sikong Jing, then left to wait for him in the Crescent Moon Wasteland.
• Sikong Jing considered pursuing Ling Dongwei but decided instead to return toward the Evil Crescent River and lure him away from the wasteland.
• A meteor-like stream of void energy veered from the divine flood dragon's inner core and struck Sikong Jing, who suppressed its aura and stayed hidden.
• Ling Dongwei left without detecting Sikong Jing, who recognized the energy as carrying the Nine Heavens Emperor's Blood Devour Magic Beast attribute.

Sikong Jing returned from the Void Rift World and struggled to suppress the void energy, Blood Devour Magic Beast attributes, and the awakening Nine Heavens Imperial Bloodline within him. After glimpsing the Nine Heavens Emperor’s past battle and sword strike, he sought advice from the beasts on handling the void energy.

• Sikong Jing returned to the Boundless Sea and directed the volatile void energy into his beast-vein dantian while resisting its demonic influence.
• Sikong Jing saw the Nine Heavens Emperor weaken the Blood Devour Magic Beast by cutting away some of its power and scattering it through the Void Rift World.
• Sikong Jing realized the Nine Heavens Emperor’s words, “Never give up,” helped him resist demonization, and inferred how the void energy had reached him.
• Sikong Jing’s Nine Heavens Imperial Bloodline began breaking free of the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Bloodline’s suppression, so he absorbed Heaven-Soaring Blood Essence while adapting his dantian and studying the Nine Heavens One Sword.
• Sikong Jing entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Prison, where the beasts told him void energy was harmless to those below the Super Divine Martial realm and could be released and condensed into void crystals.

Sikong Jing absorbed the Heavenly Emperor-level powers and broke through to the God King Realm, then planned to draw Ling Dongwei out of the Void Rift World. As Sikong Jing stirred the Evil Crescent River, Ling Dongwei noticed the Divine Flood Dragon’s corpse trembling.

• Sikong Jing absorbed the Heaven-Soaring Emperor’s blood essence and void energy, breaking through to the God King Realm while his Human-Form Spirit Shadow advanced to the Divine Venerable Realm.
• Sikong Jing disguised himself as Ling Jianxing and decided to make the Divine Flood Dragon’s corpse behave strangely to lure Ling Dongwei out without revealing his ability to enter the Void Rift World.
• Sikong Jing raced through the Evil Crescent River and calculated when to stir it so Ling Dongwei would be near the wasteland exit.
• Sikong Jing churned the Evil Crescent River with his true qi and Blood Devour Magic Beast aura, then continued toward its outer reaches.
• Ling Dongwei approached the Void Rift World’s exit, threatened the Crescent Moon Lineage, and turned back after noticing that the Divine Flood Dragon’s corpse was trembling.

Sikong Jing delayed Ling Dongwei in Evil Crescent River while Luo Guangmang used the uncertainty to discourage Ling Zhisui from attacking the Crescent Moon Lineage. Sikong Jing then emerged at the river’s fountain opening, claimed Ling Dongwei was trapped inside, and drew Old Madam Ling and the others into a violent attack that shook the river.

• Luo Guangmang learned from Ling Zhisui’s replies that Ling Dongwei had not yet left Evil Crescent River, then used warnings about Ling Jianxing’s future power to deter the Straight Wind Lineage from killing the Crescent Moon Lineage.
• Ling Zhixin escaped the forbidden land on Crescent Moon Wasteland and raced toward Crescent Moon Town, estimating that the journey would take three or four days.
• Ling Dongwei inspected the divine flood dragon’s corpse, found nothing wrong, and chose to travel through the void-rift world toward the Wasteland before contacting anyone.
• Sikong Jing stopped stirring Evil Crescent River and hurried to its fountain opening while Ling Dongwei headed back toward the small vortex.
• Sikong Jing emerged from the fountain opening and told Old Madam Ling that Ling Dongwei was about to die inside Evil Crescent River, then retreated into the opening.
• Old Madam Ling and the other experts attacked Sikong Jing’s path and the fountain opening, sending their power deep into Evil Crescent River and stirring it again.

Sikong Jing escaped Old Madam Ling’s attacks in the Evil Crescent River and fled, while Ling Dongwei received a warning but chose to leave for the Desolate Land. Sikong Jing was intercepted by Xiao Lai of the Mysterious Xiao Sect and prepared to fight him.

• Sikong Jing used the Evil Crescent River to evade Old Madam Ling and the others, then taunted them about Ling Dongwei being bound in its depths before fleeing.
• Old Madam Ling’s group pursued Sikong Jing, and an Emperor Ling Tian powerhouse reassured her that a Mysterious Xiao Sect elder was waiting to stop him.
• Ling Dongwei noticed the Divine Flood Dragon’s corpse tremble and received a shattered signal bead, but entered the small vortex toward the Desolate Land instead of returning.
• Sikong Jing decided to cause enough trouble to force Ling Dongwei back, then encountered Xiao Lai, the Mysterious Xiao Sect’s Fifth Elder.
• Xiao Lai attacked Sikong Jing with Super Divine Martial true qi and trapped him in a cage.

Sikong Jing fought Xiao Lai and killed the Super Divine Martial cultivator by merging the Nine Heavens Emperor’s sword strike into the Heaven-Soaring Nine Swords. He left Xiao Lai’s fleeing subordinates trapped and demanded to know when the family head would send someone to protect him.

• Xiao Lai dismissed Sikong Jing’s strength, but Sikong Jing’s Heaven-Soaring sword intent broke through Xiao Lai’s true-energy cage.
• Sikong Jing attacked Xiao Lai with the Heaven-Soaring Nine Swords while Xiao Lai countered with Mysterious Xiao Thousand Thunder.
• Sikong Jing fused the Nine Heavens Emperor’s sword strike into the nine swords and cut Xiao Lai apart.
• Sikong Jing destroyed Xiao Lai’s spirit shadow and explained that Xiao Lai died for choosing to serve Ling Dongwei.
• Xiao Lai’s subordinates tried to flee, but Sikong Jing trapped them with golden sword radiance and asked when the family head would send someone to protect him.
