Sikong Jing learned that direct disciples could bypass the queue at the Extreme Prison Sky Tower and decided to use Young Brother Su’s token to enter, despite the danger of drawing attention to himself. He walked among the ninety-nine swords as the guards mistook him for Su Jingbie, leaving his plan to reach his father on the tower’s ninetieth floor underway.
Sikong Jing used Su Jingbie’s identity and token to enter the Extreme Prison Sky Tower, determined to find his father before his three days were up. He reached the ninetieth sword, where Su Jingyi appeared and recognized him.
Sikong Jing drew the ninetieth sword and entered the Extreme Prison Sky Tower, despite Su Jingyi’s attempts to stop him. After Sikong Jing vanished inside, Elder Qiu learned that the guards had mistaken him for Su Jingbie.
Sikong Jing entered the ninetieth floor of the Extreme Prison Sky Tower and began its punishing trial while speaking with his father, Sikong Ding. Sikong Ding revealed where several people taken three years earlier had been sent, leaving Sikong Jing focused on finding them.
Sikong Jing learned from Sikong Ding about the people taken by the Spirit Race and his father’s failed attempt to escape the Extreme Prison Sky Tower, then focused on growing stronger before the three days were up. The Feather Transformation Emperor inspected Sikong Jing on the tower’s ninetieth level, recognized several of his imperial bloodlines, and let him continue cultivating.
Sikong Jing realized that the Spirit Race had not detected his sinister spirit aura or Demon Vein, and he continued the experiment without appearing weak. The Feather Transformation Emperor ended the Su Family’s punishment and trial, leaving Su Jingbie’s fate unresolved and confirming that Sikong Jing’s Extreme Prison came from the ancient Sword Extinction Emperor’s method.
Su Jingyi learned that the Spirit Race would decide the fate of the Burial Emperor Spirit Seal Realm in three days, and the Su Family prepared to strike if its people were abandoned. Three years later, Sikong Ling had reached the Three-Step Yin Extreme Prison on her own and was brought before Ling Zhe, Spirit Parrot, Spirit Gull, and Tu Duoqing as the coming competition approached.
Sikong Ling defeated Tu Duoqing, but Ling Zhe judged her performance unremarkable and ordered Spirit Gull to test the Burial Emperor Spirit Seal Realm’s experimental subjects. Three days later, the Spirit Race arrived at the Extreme Prison Sky Tower, where Sikong Ding charged out to face their trial while Sikong Jing remained inside.
Sikong Jing realized the Extreme Prison cultivation methods he knew could not fully temper his body, so he used his demonic form to forge a stronger Extreme Prison of his own. Meanwhile, Sikong Ding was brought before Spirit Gull’s subordinates and assigned a new opponent.
Sikong Ding began his battle against Ou Fu as the Spirit Race displayed the trials of the Burial Emperor Spirit Seal Realm’s captives. Imperial Venerable Jinghang refused to let Su Yuexi face her trial, choosing to make a fake Yuexi instead, while Su Yuexi struggled to escape and save her family.
Sikong Ling watched the trials end with victories for Su Yuexian, Sikong Ding, and Zhu Lian, but Ling Zhe dismissed their performance and ordered the Burial Emperor Spirit Seal Realm destroyed. Sikong Ling exposed that Spirit Parrot had never taught her, prompting Spirit Parrot to demand the chance to kill her herself.
Sikong Ling exposed that Ling Ying had never trained her, prompting Ling Zhe to reclaim Ling Ying’s reward and test Sikong Ling’s sword comprehension before deciding whether to spare the Burial Emperor Spirit Seal Realm. His order to wait another tea’s time reached the Feather Alliance Hall just as Sikong Ding was about to be killed, giving him and Sikong Jing a brief reprieve.
Sikong Jing learned that the Spirit Race planned to erase his people, but used Ling'er’s one-cup-of-tea reprieve to temper his cultivation before leaving the tower. He sought the Feather Transformation Emperor’s help by attempting to draw the ninety-ninth sword, and the Emperor agreed to contact a Spirit Race power if he succeeded.
Sikong Ling’s sword comprehension earned her a three-year reprieve, but Ling Zhe ordered the rest of the Burial Emperor Spirit Seal Realm exterminated. Sikong Jing drew the ninety-ninth sword to save Sikong Ding, and the Feather Transformation Emperor forced Lady Ruo to contact Ling Zhe and present Sikong Jing as a potential reason to reconsider the order.
Sikong Jing drew the ninety-ninth sword and appeared in an illusory image before Ling Zhe, prompting the Spirit Race to halt its extermination order and arrange a test of his strength. The chapter left Sikong Jing awaiting a battle at Feather Alliance Hall while Ling Zhe remained skeptical of his talent.
After Sikong Jing drew the ninety-ninth sword, Lady Ruo sent three-step Yang Extreme Prison fighter Ou Yuan to test him in battle. Sikong Jing unleashed the Extreme Prison Sword and nearly killed Ou Yuan before Lady Ruo intervened and shattered his attack.
Sikong Jing defeated two Spirit Race Yang Extreme Prison fighters in succession and challenged all the others, forcing Lady A-Ruo to hesitate as dozens surrounded him. Before Ling Zhe's palace, Sikong Ling watched anxiously, wondering whether Sikong Jing's performance would change Ling Zhe's order to erase them.
Ling Zhe ordered Sikong Jing to defeat every Yang Extreme Prison under Lady Ruo or the extermination order would stand, leaving Sikong Jing to face several dozen opponents at once. As their spirit-shadow power pinned him down, he resisted with his battle will and began using the Sword Extinction Extreme Prison Sword to temper his own Extreme Prison.
Sikong Jing discovered that Sword Annihilation’s Eighth Chapter could temper his Extreme Prison, and he used the Spirit Race disciples’ attacks to survive the process and break through to Second Step Yang Extreme Prison. He renewed his fight against the encirclement, leaving Spirit Gull Manor close to defeat and Tu Duoqing believing she might survive.
Ling Zhe ended the extermination campaign against the people of the Burial Emperor Spirit Seal Realm after Sikong Jing proved their potential, but left their survival to the various races and halls. Sikong Jing’s battle at Feather Alliance Hall was halted, and he was accepted as a disciple as the Spirit Race withdrew.
Sikong Jing entered the ninety-ninth floor of the Extreme Prison Sky Tower after joining Feather Alliance Hall, leaving his father and the people from the Burial Emperor Spirit Seal Realm under temporary protection. He handed Feather Transformation Emperor the first eight chapters of the Sword Extinction inheritance and began recovering, determined to gain a foothold and protect his people.
After the trial, the Feather Transformation Emperor placed the Burial Emperor Spirit Seal Realm survivors under the Yu Family’s protection, while Su Yuexi and others faced uncertain futures. Su Yuexi began cultivating the Mystic Jade Emperor’s path in secret, and the Green Rhino Demon Emperor was interrupted just as he considered what to do with Su Yuexian and the wounded demons.
The Green Rhino Demon Emperor attacked the Demon Sword Tiger to seize Sikong Jing’s little Shadow Moon Rat, but Mountain Roc and Silk Silkworm intervened and took the rat in turn. A fourth Demon Emperor arrived and declared that the Shadow Moon Rat belonged to the Ten Thousand Demon Hall.
Sikong Jing’s Beast-Form Spirit Shadow and Fang Sword witnessed the Sword Tiger Demon Emperor battle three Demon Emperors, until Ling Zhe joined them against the Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall. The Lord revealed his overwhelming power, leaving the three Demon Emperors screaming beneath his darkness.
Sikong Jing and Fang Sword were cast into the Dark Demon Small World after Ling Zhe used sinister Yin spirit energy to delay the Master of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall. As they plunged through the passage, Fang Sword fainted and Sikong Jing prepared to face the unknown danger.
