Sikong Jing entered Green Leaf Main World to negotiate for Teng Bahun and the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb, but Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor had prepared a trap using Feng Shixian and the Azure Wind General Camp. The emperor demanded Sikong Jing’s bloodline and knowledge, leaving Sikong Jing facing a dangerous bargain.
Sikong Jing confronted Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor over Teng Bahun and the captives, resisting his attempt to bargain for valuable secrets. After Sikong Jing threatened to leave and exposed Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor’s betrayal, Green Leaf relented, and Sikong Jing handed him a fragment of Longfir Emperor’s inheritance.
Sikong Jing secured Feng Shixian and the others’ release by offering Longfir Emperor’s inheritance, then persuaded Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor to take him and two Beast Venerables to the power behind Green Leaf Palace. At the Spirit Seal Realm’s hidden seal, Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor presented them to Absolute Spirit Emperor, whom Sikong Jing recognized as a figure from the Vast Cosmos Great World.
Sikong Jing convinced the Absolute Spirit Emperor that he had come down from the Vast Cosmos Great World by displaying the inheritances of five Absolutes. The Absolute Spirit Emperor accepted that he had come from above but demanded to know what had happened, while Sikong Jing insisted he first return Sword Extinction Giant Tomb and Grandpa Ba Hun.
The Absolute Spirit Emperor trapped Sikong Jing and the two Beast Venerables, then demanded the Sword Extinction Totem from Teng Bahun. As Teng Bahun bargained for Sikong Jing’s safe passage, the Emperor attacked the Black Prison Heaven-Swallowing Tiger, but Sikong Jing stepped in and stopped the spear.
Sikong Jing traded the Black Prison Heaven-Swallowing Tiger as a hostage to get the Sword Extinction Totem from Teng Bahun, then threw it to Absolute Spirit Emperor and retreated into the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb. He realized the totem held a fragment of the Spirit Root Divine Willow that could awaken Absolute Spirit Emperor, who then threatened the hostage and demanded Sikong Jing’s Nine Heavens Legacy.
Sikong Jing used the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall to distract Absolute Spirit Emperor, then revealed his Sword Extinction Emperor inheritance and turned the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb against him. As Absolute Spirit Emperor struggled to resist the tomb’s colossal sword and Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor attacked the Black Prison Heaven-Swallowing Tiger, Sikong Jing ordered the tiger to seize or destroy the Sword Extinction Totem.
The Black Prison Heaven-Swallowing Tiger seized most of the Sword Extinction Totem before Yin Spirit Evil Qi dragged it into the Burial Emperor Tomb. As the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb collapsed, Sikong Jing forced Absolute Spirit Emperor's phantom into the Spirit Seal Realm's seal, and the Ten Thousand Seas Divine Turtle broke through to become a Four-Tribulation Emperor Venerable.
Sikong Jing escaped Absolute Spirit Emperor’s attack with the Ten Thousand Seas Divine Turtle, but the Yin Spirit Evil Qi dragged them into the Burial Emperor Tomb to undergo tribulation. Absolute Spirit Emperor ordered Snow Swallow and Snow Goose to summon Xue Qiong, then spared Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor while secretly planning to possess him.
Absolute Spirit Emperor planned to possess Green Leaf, while rumors about the Primordial Cosmos spread through Green Leaf Palace. At the Burial Emperor Tomb, Sikong Jing tried to save the mortally wounded Black Prison Heaven-Swallowing Tiger by proposing that it join the Ten Thousand Seas Divine Turtle in the tribulation, but the Divine Turtle warned that Sikong Jing would die.
Sikong Jing brought the Ten Thousand Seas Divine Turtle into the Black Prison Heaven-Swallowing Tiger King's tribulation, hoping the beasts could endure the next stage together. As the Five-Tribulation Emperor Venerable's gale struck, the beasts succumbed further to demonic corruption, leaving Sikong Jing desperately resisting with their power.
Sikong Jing endured the fifth Burial Emperor Tribulation with the two Beast Venerables while struggling to contain the clashing sword daos in his dantian. As he instinctively forged a new path from his memories, the Sword Extinction Totem revived and healed him, while Snow Venerable continued directing a war against his Quasi-Emperor Palaces.
Snow Venerable conquered Gan Miao Palace and part of Flame Prison Palace, then met Absolute Spirit Emperor’s phantom and agreed to capture Sikong Jing alive. She still planned to seize Sikong Jing’s treasures before handing him over, while Absolute Spirit Emperor used a Sword Extinction Totem fragment to awaken Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor’s Ancient Spirit Race bloodline.
Snow Venerable searched the Burial Emperor Tomb for Sikong Jing after assuming the two Beast Venerables had died, while Absolute Spirit Emperor sent Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor to besiege Heaven-Soaring Palace. Sikong Jing and the beasts remained trapped in the five-tribulation ordeal, growing stronger as they endured it.
Sikong Jing perfected two separate sword paths while the awakened Sword Extinction Totem sustained him and the two Beast Venerables through the Five-Tribulation Tribulation. After reaching peak Quasi-Emperor, he forced the Absolute Sword and Sword Clan sword daos to merge, creating a new Sword Intent that drew the tribulation’s full attack.
Sikong Jing fused the Absolute Sword and the Sword Clan’s Sword Dao into his own Mad Beast Sword Dao, then survived the first wave of the Burial Emperor Tribulation. The tribulation intensified rather than ended, while Snow Venerable, the Absolute Spirit Emperor, and the Golden Bright Emperor sensed an unknown threat or prepared for events in the Spirit Seal Realm.
Golden Bright Emperor’s seized ship approached the Spirit Seal Realm while a second group of Primordial Cosmos invaders crossed the Burial Emperor Battlefield. Mu Bujun and Elder Gong headed toward the Spirit Seal Realm as Sikong Jing continued enduring the enhanced fifth tribulation.
Sikong Jing helped the Ten Thousand Seas Divine Turtle and the Heaven-Swallowing Tiger King overcome an enhanced Five-Tribulation Burial Emperor Tribulation, restoring their awareness and strengthening them. When Snow Venerable approached, Sikong Jing chose to flee deeper into the Burial Emperor Tomb, where its stronger Yin Spirit Evil Qi could help them fight her.
Sikong Jing and the two Beast Venerables raced toward the Seventh Tribulation while Snow Venerable pursued them, intent on taking his Nine Heavens Sword Dao and bloodline. When an unknown enemy approached from ahead, Sikong Jing decided to draw both threats away and send the Beast Venerables back to the Spirit Seal Realm with the others.
Sikong Jing encountered Golden Bright Emperor, who recognized him and attacked over the losses in Longfir Tomb. Sikong Jing destroyed Golden Bright Emperor’s Divine Cosmos Ship and used a false threat to distract him, leaving Golden Bright Emperor furious and deceived.
Sikong Jing seized control of Golden Bright Emperor’s battered Divine Cosmos Ship and escaped aboard it, while Snow Venerable revealed that the ship spirit recognized him as a man of Vast Cosmos. As Golden Bright Emperor’s subordinates attacked, Sikong Jing killed a Two-Tribulation Emperor Venerable with one sword strike.
Sikong Jing slaughtered Golden Bright Emperor’s forces after killing a Two-Tribulation Emperor Venerable, while Snow Venerable thwarted his plan to destroy her ship. When Snow Venerable considered taking the two Beast Venerables and Teng Bahun hostage, Sikong Jing threatened to defect to Golden Bright Emperor if she pursued them.
Sikong Jing used his pure Nine Heavens Sword Dao to keep Snow Venerable from pursuing the two Beast Venerables, but his battered ship was close to collapse. Golden Bright Emperor abandoned the chase and attacked Snow Venerable to claim her ship and pursue Sikong Jing, leaving the chapter with the two factions battling above her vessel.
Sikong Jing sabotaged Golden Bright Emperor and Snow Venerable’s negotiations, then abandoned his broken ship to force Golden Bright to attack Snow Venerable’s vessel. As the two Seventh Tribulation powerhouses resumed fighting, Sikong Jing fled deeper into the Burial Emperor Tomb and began preparing to break through into the Emperor Venerable Realm.
Sikong Jing evaded Snow Venerable and Golden Bright Emperor by entering a Wind Absolute Spirit deadly place, where he cultivated and delayed them as his Emperor Venerable aura grew. Meanwhile, Shan Qiansu completed his Burial Emperor Tribulation and became a Seventh Tribulation Emperor Venerable, while Tian Wuan and Xue Lin were still undergoing theirs.
