Sikong Jing faced successive attacks from Flame Prison Palace and masked experts from Azure Thunder and the Azure Water General Camp, while Long Flow Palace struggled to understand the chaos. Wind God Vultures blocked the second attack, and Azure Fire Generals moved against the fleeing attackers as Fire Lockfeng prepared to target Sikong Jing.
Purple Bamboo intervened as Fire Lockfeng tried to assassinate Sikong Jing amid a chaotic clash between several groups of Four Symbols experts. She blocked his strike with the bamboo slip and appeared beside the frozen Fire Lockfeng, leaving Sikong Jing to face the mysterious woman again.
Purple Bamboo attacked Fire Lockfeng with the bamboo slip, then disappeared before anyone could identify her. As Fire Lockfeng succumbed to its power, Sikong Jing let others believe he was responsible, and the surrounding factions turned against him.
Sikong Jing denied killing Fire Lockfeng as the Azure Fire Generals and Flame Prison Palace blamed him and tried to turn Long Flow Palace against him. Purple Bamboo secretly killed Senior Brother Azure Thunder and a Flame Prison Palace expert, but the witnesses still suspected Sikong Jing as he searched for her.
Sikong Jing escaped Cloud Burial City with Feng Shixian, Fire Lockfeng, and Master Xie after an unseen purple-aura figure attacked Feng Shixian to clear Sikong Jing of blame. On the way, Sikong Jing suspected a hidden force was spreading fear and revealed that he had brought Fire Lockfeng along to inject the Green Leaf Imperial Bloodline into Feng Shixian.
Sikong Jing persuaded Feng Shixian to absorb Fire Lockfeng’s Green Leaf Imperial Bloodline, giving the weakened Green Leaf Palace camp a leader while turning Feng Shixian’s past mistake into a risk he could take. As Sikong Jing returned to the camp, the other factions remained troubled by the unknown bamboo-skewer killer and chose to withdraw or ally with one another.
Purple Bamboo returned to Purple Dust Pavilion and learned that Sikong Jing had saved Zi Jin and Zi Ya in Cloud Burial City. Realizing she had killed Feng Shixian, Sikong Jing’s companion, she kept her guilt to herself and selected five mixed-blood humans for her master’s plan to cultivate twelve Burial Extinguishers.
Purple Bamboo selected people for the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb and sent Zi Jin and Zi Ya to invite Sikong Jing to meet her. Meanwhile, Feng Shixian helped Sikong Jing expose and eliminate the Green Leaf Palace camp’s disloyal generals, and the chapter ended with Zi Jin and Zi Ya asking Sikong Jing to visit Purple Dust Pavilion.
Sikong Jing accompanied Zi Jin and Zi Ya to Purple Dust Pavilion, where they explained the danger surrounding the Sword Extinction Totem and why the Pavilion avoided contact with the Heaven Emperor Palace’s quasi-Emperor Palaces. There he discovered that Pavilion Master Purple Bamboo was the purple aura woman, and she welcomed him with apparent gratitude while keeping her reasons for summoning him unclear.
Purple Bamboo secretly carried Sikong Jing and the others to the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb, claiming she would give them a tremendous opportunity and make them Burial Extinguishers. At the tomb gate, her master suddenly killed Elder Ao, leaving Purple Bamboo shocked and trembling.
Purple Bamboo’s master killed five Purple Dust Pavilion experts for disobeying his orders, then held their spirit shadows hostage to force her submission. He turned his attention to the unconscious Sikong Jing and demanded that he prove his worth or die.
Sikong Jing faced the sword intent formation inside the great door and concealed how easily he could break it. As the voice tested him, it awakened six other captives and declared itself their master.
Purple Bamboo left the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb burdened by guilt after accepting her Master’s orders, while Sikong Jing was admitted to the Sword Extinction Inheritance Hall. The chapter ended with Sikong Jing arriving at the palace chosen for him.
Sikong Jing received the Sword Extinction Imperial Bloodline in the Sword Extinction Main Hall and began mastering the Sword Extinction Twelve Chapters. Meanwhile, Purple Bamboo and the gate’s master advanced their plan to spread fear and rumors across the Burial Emperor Sea.
Purple Bamboo was ordered to exterminate the Green Leaf Palace faction, despite trying to spare it for Sikong Jing’s sake. After Mo Fu and two other Burial Extinguishers betrayed her to gain their master's favor, Purple Bamboo warned them that Sikong Jing would retaliate if they harmed his faction.
After emerging from the Sword Extinction Inheritance Hall, Sikong Jing concealed his newly acquired Sword Extinction Imperial Bloodline and let Purple Bamboo's master believe he had gained little. The chapter ended with him demonstrating a Sword Extinction technique at the master's command.
Sikong Jing was dismissed as worthless by the master inside the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb and handed to Mo Fu, while Purple Bamboo was ordered to destroy the Four Symbols of the Green Leaf Palace faction. After the group was expelled, Sikong Jing discovered he could perceive the tomb’s interior and suspected he was half its master.
Sikong Jing realized that truly controlling the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb might require taking a core item from the bearded middle-aged man, while Purple Bamboo reluctantly stepped aside so Mo Fu could place a restriction on him. Sikong Jing remained confident that Mo Fu would fail, but Mo Fu dismissed him as a once-promising genius who had become worthless.
Sikong Jing demonstrated his strength by instantly killing a Seven-Step Yin Yang Burial Extinguisher and shattering an Eighth-Step Yin-Yang expert’s attack. The surviving Burial Extinguisher appealed to his master for help.
Sikong Jing and Purple Bamboo staged a clash to keep her from obeying the black-bearded middle-aged man's order to bring him back into the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb. When Sikong Jing wounded her spirit platform, he broke part of a hidden seal and discovered that Purple Bamboo was a reincarnation of the King of Night Charms.
Sikong Jing wounded Purple Bamboo and damaged the seal on her spirit platform, proving to the black-bearded middle-aged man that she had not been pretending. Sikong Jing challenged the man to leave the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb, then faced Mo Fu and the other Burial Extinguishers as they prepared to attack.
Sikong Jing revealed that he had gained the Sword Extinction Imperial Sword, Sacred Sword, and six volumes of Sword Annihilation, despite receiving no cultivation treasures from the inheritance. He overwhelmed Mo Fu in battle, while the bearded middle-aged man realized Sikong Jing’s exceptional talent was why the inheritance had withheld pills and other forced aids.
Sikong Jing revealed that he had concealed his strength and resisted Mo Fu’s Yin Spirit Baleful Intent treasure. He killed Mo Fu with the Sword Extinction Super Divine Sword, then faced the black-bearded middle-aged man’s recognition that he had inherited the Sword Extinction Emperor’s Imperial Bloodline.
The black-bearded middle-aged man revealed his desire to seize Sikong Jing’s Sword Extinction Imperial Bloodline and demanded that he become his disciple or die. Sikong Jing forced him to leave the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb, questioned his plans, and decided to test whether the beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Prison could destroy him.
Sikong Jing lured the yin spirit evil energy by using the beasts’ spiritual shadow power, causing it to engulf the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb and the black-bearded middle-aged man. As stronger-than-third-stage evil energy overwhelmed him, Sikong Jing decided to enter the giant tomb, where the evil energy was weaker.
