Absolute Pill Emperor imprisoned Sikong Jing in the Burial Emperor Nine-Turn Hall and began a nine-stage torture, offering him a chance to attend the Five Absolutes inheritance if he endured it. Sikong Jing resolved to use the agony to temper himself, while the Ten Absolutes hoped his survival would help draw out the Anti-Seal Faction and Chen Lusheng.
Sikong Jing endured the Burial Emperor Nine-Turn Hall’s trials while his Magic Rat body shared his pain and grew stronger. As the Five Absolutes inheritance began, the Anti-Seal Faction gathered at World-Shaking Mountain, unable to learn how Sikong Jing was faring.
As the Shadow Moon Demon Rat’s ancient bloodline began awakening, Sikong Jing suppressed the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts’ power during the ninth turn and gained the Mad Beast Roar technique. After passing Absolute Pill Emperor’s test, Sikong Jing learned that the Five Absolutes’ inheritance was meant to lure the Anti-Seal Faction into a trap, while the Ten Absolutes hoped to win without losing any of their own.
Sikong Jing took the Heaven-Earth Peerless Pill, recovered his strength, and reached the Eight Trigram Divine Lord realm, unaware that the Absolute Pill Emperor had planted a memory-erasing formation in him. He reached the crowded plaza and began cultivating while planning how to protect Tian Wuchen and join the Anti-Seal Faction.
Sikong Jing stabilized his breakthrough and learned that Jing Yuan was inside the Peerless Pill Pavilion, while the Anti-Seal Faction prepared to help him escape. The chapter ended as Sikong Jing headed toward Jing Yuan, who was arguing with Shan Yue over their places in the Five Absolutes inheritance.
At the Peerless Pill Pavilion’s inheritance selection, Jing Yuan became the hundredth person chosen, prompting Shan Yue to try to kill him so he could take his place. Sikong Jing intervened by killing a Mountain Clan Quasi-Emperor with one sword, drawing the attention of the assembled powers as Jing Yuan concealed his joy at being rescued.
Sikong Jing openly admitted to killing a Mountain Clan quasi-Emperor, then survived Shan Qianzao’s attack when Celestial Race Chief Tian Wuxiu intervened. Protected by the Celestial Race and declaring himself bait for the Anti-Seal Faction, Sikong Jing forced Shan Yue to face a choice between apologizing and losing his arms.
Sikong Jing forced Shan Yue to apologize and secured compensation for Jing Yuan and Brother Le, then joined the Three Absolutes inheritance selection. He completed its preliminary inheritance in three breaths, stunning everyone at Peerless Pill Plaza.
Sikong Jing waited to enter the Three Absolutes’ deep inheritance as speculation spread that he was destined to become an inheritor. The trials ended after three rounds, leaving twenty-four geniuses, including Sikong Jing and Shan Yue, to advance.
The Absolute Slaying Emperor’s trial reduced the contestants to ten, including Zhe Ying and Dugu Fanhua, and Absolute Pill Emperor began the final inheritance trial. Sikong Jing recognized the vision within the inheritance as the Spirit Seal Realm after its destruction.
Sikong Jing learned that Absolute Pill Emperor had destroyed the Spirit Seal Realm in an attempt to eradicate the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts bloodline, but the Burial Emperor Tomb had preserved it. As the other geniuses began comprehending Absolute Pill Emperor’s martial path, Sikong Jing tried to create vitality and destruction that followed the rules of his own world.
Sikong Jing appeared to lag behind the other geniuses in the Absolute Pill Emperor’s inheritance, but the Absolute Pill Emperor named him the strongest participant in the Five Absolutes inheritance. The announcement left the crowd questioning the decision, while the other geniuses began to object.
The Absolute Pill Emperor arranged a one-against-nine trial for Sikong Jing, hoping to draw out the Anti-Seal Faction and test Sikong Jing’s strength. Sikong Jing revealed his overwhelming power by defeating Yu Cangmeng and Hai Yuan, then gained the upper hand against Tian Sui as the other opponents watched.
Sikong Jing fought all nine geniuses with ease as Absolute Pill Emperor shifted the gathering’s attention to the Anti-Seal Faction and publicly reframed the Eight Absolutes’ actions as misguided efforts to stop it. The Three Absolutes apologized and asked Absolute Pill Emperor to lead them, and he left his response unresolved.
The Ancient Ten Absolutes rallied the Hundred Clans and Thousand Halls behind Absolute Pill Emperor, using the threat of the Burial Emperor Tomb to build support against the Anti-Seal Faction. With Sikong Jing on the verge of winning the Geniuses Battle, Absolute Pill Emperor revealed he planned to erase Sikong Jing’s memories and turn him against his former allies.
Sikong Jing defeated the remaining geniuses at Peerless Pill Plaza, while the Absolute Pill Emperor activated a hidden formation to erase his memories and force him into loyalty. The Anti-Seal Faction launched its assault on the Peerless Pill Pavilion, and the chapter ended as the pavilion’s defenses blocked the attack.
The Absolute Pill Emperor used a memory-erasing formation to make Sikong Jing denounce the Anti-Seal Faction, while Chen Lusheng attacked Peerless Pill Plaza's defensive formation. After the attack opened a gap, Sikong Jing's memories returned through his connection with the Magic Rat body, though he concealed that from the Absolute Pill Emperor.
Sikong Jing exposed the Ancient Ten Absolutes as invaders from the Primordial Cosmos, prompting them to try to silence him before he could reveal more. Yu Xianbao, Dugu Fanhua, and Frost God Hall intervened to protect him as the battle escalated.
Sikong Jing exposed a conflict between the Absolute Sword Emperor’s sword path and the Sword Clan’s, deepening doubts about the Ancient Ten Absolutes. As Tian Wuxiu attacked, Sikong Jing used demonic energy to force the Universe Destroyer Sword to obey and escape with his allies inside it.
Sikong Jing seized control of the demonizing beasts at Peerless Pill Plaza and used them to resist Tian Wuxiu, but the Universe Destroyer Sword was shattered in the ensuing clash. Wu Wanfa then arrived with allies from across the Hundred Clans and Thousand Halls, giving Yu Xianbao and the others a chance to challenge the Ancient Ten Absolutes publicly.
Sikong Jing warned the gathered factions that Absolute Pill Emperor planned to kill those questioning the Ancient Ten Absolutes, then hid inside a Magic Beast after evading his attack. Absolute Pill Emperor poisoned the Demon Beasts and Magic Beasts to force Sikong Jing out, leaving the plaza filled with their screams and the crowd horrified.
The Absolute Pill Emperor tried to deceive and contain Wu Wanfa and the others while luring the Anti-Seal Faction into the Peerless Pill Pavilion. Sikong Jing revived the poisoned beasts and led them through the broken defensive array, leaving the Anti-Seal Faction’s rescue attempt underway.
Sikong Jing used the poisoned beasts’ resistance to break the defensive array at Peerless Pill Plaza and escape, while the Absolute Pill Emperor pursued him. Outside the plaza, Tian Wuchen exposed Tian Wuxiu as the Heaven-Sunder Emperor, and Celestial Race experts stopped Tian Wuxiu from killing him.
Tian Wuchen exposed Tian Wuxiu as the Heaven-Sunder Emperor, triggering a clash with Chen Lusheng while Wu Wanfa led the Anti-Seal Faction out of the Peerless Pill Pavilion. As Absolute Pill Emperor searched for Sikong Jing, Sikong returned to Peerless Pill Plaza to draw away another threat, and Zhe Ying remained alone on the platform.
Sikong Jing returned to Peerless Pill Plaza and compelled Zhe Ying to expose the Spirit Race’s allegiance to the Ancient Ten Absolutes. As Absolute Slaying Emperor trapped Wu Wanfa and his allies, Zhe Ying publicly revealed that the Spirit Race served the foreign invaders.
