Sikong Jing learned that Zhe Ying was to be publicly executed in Spirit Dream City and decided to rescue him. He arrived unseen by the Spirit Race, but the execution began before he could act, leaving Zhe Ying denounced as a traitor.
Sikong Jing appeared in Spirit Dream City during Zhe Ying’s execution and confronted the Spirit Race. After effortlessly shattering Ling Zhe’s attack, he launched a sword strike to kill him as Ling Dao intervened.
Sikong Jing killed Ling Zhe and used the Spirit Race’s ancient cultivation technique to keep Ling Dao from reclaiming control of his people. He revealed that the Ten Absolutes had weakened the Spirit Race’s bloodline, then displayed the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall, which stirred a sense of recovered bloodline in the clan.
Sikong Jing revealed the Spirit Race’s ancient Willow Leaf Sacred Wall, freed Zhe Ying, and escaped into a crowd by hiding within Spirit Gull’s spirit platform sea of consciousness. His return from the Dark Demon Small World spread through the Spirit Race’s territory, while Emperor Yu'e wondered whether it was a trap.
Emperor Yu'e left the Swordwalk Forbidden Domain to investigate Sikong Jing, while the awakened Sword Shatter Emperor and her disciples emerged from the Swordwalk Small World and followed her. In Spirit Dream City, Zhe Ying emerged from the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall and asked Sikong Jing whether his claims about his purified Spirit Race bloodline were true.
Sikong Jing gave Zhe Ying the Ancient Spirit Race’s Longfir Emperor inheritance and the Nine Heavens Sword Dao, then learned that Hai Yuan had been captured and resolved to seek a way to rescue him. He left the New Purple Night Mystic Jade with Spirit Gull, while Zhe Ying remained inside absorbing the inheritance.
Sikong Jing escaped Spirit Dream City after using demonized monster beasts and the Army-Slaying Formation to break Ling Dao’s spatial lockdown. Absolute Pill Emperor returned, searched for Sikong Jing, and ordered the city’s inhabitants inspected, but found no trace of him.
The Ten Absolutes discussed Sikong Jing’s mysterious emergence and considered how he might be connected to the Spirit Seal Realm and the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts. Absolute Pill Emperor ordered a search for Sikong Jing and preparations for a massacre of the Anti-Seal Faction, while postponing a decision about the spirit race inhabitants of Spirit Dream City.
After escaping the Absolutes’ search, Sikong Jing explained how he planned to use Spirit Gull and Zhe Ying to turn the Spirit Race against Ten Absolutes. He then set out to contact the Anti-Seal Faction and learn where Hai Yuan was being held.
Sikong Jing heard that the Ten Absolute Emperor had declared the Blood Grudge War and then witnessed Demon-Slaying Hall experts capture his senior brother, Zhan You. As the squad leader prepared to interrogate Zhan You, a message announced that the Anti-Seal Faction’s spy leader had already been discovered.
Sikong Jing infiltrated a Demon-Slaying Hall squad to reach the captured Anti-Seal Faction spies and learned that Emperor Yu'e was the spy leader. As the Demon-Slaying Hall laid a trap to draw him out, Emperor Yu'e prepared to sacrifice herself, but two figures approached her.
Yu Tang secretly told Emperor Yu'e that Sword Shatter Emperor had returned and was preparing to confront the Demon-Slaying Hall and possibly the Absolute Slaying Emperor. Emperor Yu'e drew the enemy's attention while Sikong Jing, disguised among their forces, sensed a hidden power within the city but could not identify it.
Sikong Jing infiltrated the Demon-Slaying Hall’s forces to seize the captured spies, prompting Hang Qusha to spring a prepared blockade. Though Sikong Jing revealed himself in the city, a hidden force in Little Strength killed a Six-Tribulation Emperor Venerable as the battle continued.
Sikong Jing’s Beast Heart Body rescued Zhan You and the others, then joined forces with Sword Shatter to free Emperor Yu'e. As the Absolute Slaying Emperor arrived to confront Sikong Jing, Sword Shatter unleashed a vast surge of sword light.
Sikong Jing escaped Demon-Slaying Hall’s suppression as Sword Shatter Emperor returned and attacked Absolute Slaying Emperor with the power of five sword peaks. Absolute Slaying Emperor began sacrificing her forces and called for help, while Absolute Pill and Absolute Spirit sensed Sword Shatter Emperor’s revival from the Spiritless Mountain Range.
Sword Shatter Emperor’s revival forced Absolute Pill Emperor to rush to Absolute Slaying Emperor’s aid, while the Anti-Seal Faction launched its invasion of the Spiritless Mountain Range. Absolute Slaying Emperor, close to defeat, tried to escape and ordered Hang Xie to delay Sword Shatter with her treasures.
Sword Shatter Emperor defeated Absolute Slaying Emperor and shattered her body, but her myriad spirit shadows tried to escape. Sikong Jing used Yin Spirit Evil Qi and his Beast Heart Body to help prevent her revival.
Sikong Jing and Sword Shatter Emperor destroyed Absolute Slaying Emperor and announced the fall of Demon-Slaying Hall, provoking Absolute Pill Emperor to mobilize forces against them. As Sword Shatter Emperor prepared to flee with the five Sword Miracle peaks, Sikong Jing proposed entering the Dark Demon Small World instead.
Sikong Jing and Sword Shatter Emperor escaped the former Feather Alliance Hall by splitting up and traveling through the Dark Demon Small World. After Absolute Pill Emperor’s indiscriminate attack on the area, he realized their route and pursued them to Swordwalk Forbidden Domain, where Sikong Jing’s group emerged.
Sikong Jing and his companions escaped the Dark Demon Small World into Swordwalk, where the Absolute Pill Emperor tried to force his way in while Sword Shatter Emperor held him back. As Sword Shatter prepared to sacrifice herself so the others could flee, Sikong Jing proposed using the Spirit Root Divine Willow to stop Absolute Pill.
Sikong Jing planted a Spirit Root Divine Willow fragment in the Sword Spring Giant Continent, helping the Sword Shatter Emperor stabilize the Swordwalk Small World’s boundary against the Absolute Pill Emperor. Meanwhile, news of Sikong Jing’s return and victory rallied the Anti-Seal Faction at the Spiritless Mountain Range, where Su Yuexi, Su Yuexian, and Sikong Ding prepared to fight.
The Shadow Moon Army fought alongside the Anti-Seal Faction while the Absolute Hatred Emperor’s spirit shadow was secretly restored with battlefield blood, preparing to possess Hai Yuan. In Swordwalk Small World, Liu Duoye warned Sikong Jing that the Spirit Root Divine Willow’s recovery had slowed.
Sword Shatter Emperor rebuilt the Swordwalk Six Heavens and drove Absolute Pill Emperor’s attack away, but she remained bound to Sword Shatter Mountain for at least half a month. Sikong Jing realized the Blood Grudge War was still in danger and prepared to warn the Anti-Seal Faction about the awakened Absolute Spirit Emperor, while offering Sword Shatter Emperor the Nine Heavens Sword Dao legacy.
Sikong Jing left the Swordwalk Small World for the Spiritless Mountain Range while Sword Shatter Emperor began learning the Nine Heavens Sword Dao and vowed revenge on Absolute Spirit Emperor. Absolute Pill Emperor failed to breach the small world and ordered an attack on the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, while Su Yuexi received Sikong Jing’s warning signal indicating extreme danger.
After Sikong Jing warned the Spirit Seal Realm that they were in extreme danger, Su Yuexi pulled the Shadow Moon Army back toward Black Tiger, where an underground Emperor-level attack struck. Absolute Spirit Emperor awakened and began extracting the spirits of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall’s forces while Tian Wuxiu blocked anyone from helping.
