Yu Xianpo fought Yu Mang’s spirit-shadow avatar while Xie Bumian struggled through her Great Emperor Tribulation, and Sikong Jing learned that both were in danger. Sikong Jing sent his Beast Heart Body toward Xie Bumian with Qin Luoluo’s Nine Heavens Essence Blood while he advanced toward the Nine Heavens Alliance ship and its invaders.
Sikong Jing confronted the Nine Heavens Alliance and the Prison Race, using Mu Bujun’s essence blood and the threat to Cheng Yin to buy time. After learning Yu Mang had left Cheng Yin, Sikong Jing disappeared down the passage, intending for his true body and ferocious beast avatar to kill Cheng Yin and seize a fourth portion of Nine Heavens Essence Blood.
Sikong Jing lured Yu Mang away, then seized Mu Bujun and his Sacred Pearl Fragment. He revealed that he planned to use the fragment to enter the Ancient Ancestor Hell Array’s seventeenth level and attack Yu Mang’s true body, leaving Mu Bujun stunned.
Sikong Jing used his Beast Heart Body to aid Xie Bumian during her Emperor Tribulation while his true body raced toward the Ancient Ancestor Hell Array with Mu Bujun’s Sacred Pearl Fragments in mind. The Beast Heart Body self-destructed to evade Yu Mang, and Sikong Jing’s true body continued pursuing his plan despite Mu Bujun’s disbelief.
Sikong Jing forced Mu Bujun to open the Ancient Ancestor Hell Array and entered it, intending to reach Mystic Jade Emperor and turn him against Yu Mang. The Nine Heavens Alliance and Prison Race realized Sikong Jing had gone into the array, while Yu Mang's spirit-shadow avatar continued pursuing Yu Xianpo across the Burial Emperor Battlefield.
Sikong Jing forced Mu Bujun to lure Yu Mang into guiding them from the eighteenth level to the seventeenth, then escaped the sacred light and hid among the monsters. The chapter left Sikong Jing disguised by the aura of demonic beasts while Yu Mang's spirit shadow searched for him.
Sikong Jing escaped Yu Mang’s search by killing a subordinate of the Night Emperor Beast and provoking the two Emperors into battle. As he traveled away, the seventeenth floor began eroding his will, and Mu Bujun pointed him toward the Fire Rock Mountain Demon’s territory as the likely location of the Mystic Jade Emperor.
Sikong Jing traveled toward the Fire Rock Mountain Demon’s territory while resisting the seductive voice of the mysterious God-Devouring Demoness. Along the way, a War Beast Clan expert recognized him as the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, and another imprisoned figure urged him to come inherit his power.
Sikong Jing resisted attempts by the imprisoned beings to manipulate his curiosity, then reached the Fire Rock Mountain Demon’s territory while searching for the Mystic Jade Emperor. He killed the Emperor-level monster with one sword strike, and a deep voice spoke from behind him.
Yu Mang ambushed Sikong Jing with Prison Race forces and demanded his Nine Heavens Sword Dao and essence blood. The Mystic Jade Emperor emerged from the Fire Rock Mountain, revealed that his cultivation had tightened his chains and prevented him from descending to the eighteenth level, and Yu Mang redirected his subordinates to capture Sikong Jing.
Sikong Jing and Mystic Jade Emperor fought off Yu Mang and the Prison Race forces on the seventeenth level of the Hell Array. Mystic Jade killed Yu Mang’s manifested thought-shadow, while Sikong Jing continued cutting down the Prison Race fighters.
Sikong Jing gave Mystic Jade Emperor the eighth level of the Nine Heavens Dark Demon Sword and Shi Feng’s Nine Heavens Essence Blood, then urged him to attack Yu Mang and force him to recall his spirit-shadow clone. As Mystic Jade Emperor fought Yu Mang with the Night Emperor Beast’s help, the God-Devouring Demoness appeared before Sikong Jing in the form of a beautiful young girl.
The God-Devouring Demoness emerged from the Hell Array and used Su Yuexi’s memories to attack Sikong Jing’s will. Sikong Jing recognized her malice, broke free, and restored the Qing Ling Sword, but the demoness continued to reappear.
Sikong Jing resisted the attacks of the God-Devouring Demoness and other lava-bound consciousnesses, then devoured the Fire Rock Mountain's energy to force his cultivation into the sixth tribulation. After the attackers withdrew and the mountain vanished, he headed back toward Yu Mang's main camp to check on the Mystic Jade Emperor.
Sikong Jing went to Yu Mang’s stronghold to help Mystic Jade Emperor, while Yu Xianpo fought Yu Mang’s spirit-shadow clone in the Burial Emperor Battlefield. Yu Mang burned his origin power to keep fighting, leaving Mystic Jade Emperor battered as the battle continued.
Sikong Jing arrived in time to rescue the gravely injured Mystic Jade Emperor from Yu Mang, whose burning origin made him nearly unstoppable. To injure Yu Mang without sacrificing the Mystic Jade Emperor, Sikong Jing lured out the Aurora Sacred Pearl fragment, then hid inside Mu Bujun as its holy light pursued him.
Sikong Jing and the Mystic Jade Emperor fought Yu Mang’s true body, then fled when his spirit-shadow avatar returned and resumed the pursuit. They hid underground in Deep Demon Giant Tusk’s territory, but Yu Mang made the Monster Emperor suspect Sikong Jing was the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and waited in ambush.
Sikong Jing left the Hell Array after the Mystic Jade Emperor recovered enough to protect himself, carrying warnings about divine tribulations and suppression. He broke his sixth Burial Emperor Tribulation, then emerged near the battlefield’s center, where Yu Tong and the Prison Race attacked him.
Sikong Jing escaped Yu Tong and the Nine Heavens Alliance, then decided to return alone to the Spirit Seal Realm while Yu Xianpo stayed to protect Xie Bumian and the Absolute Heart Emperor. He destroyed his body and spirit platform so the Snow-Tempered Sword could carry him to the Dark Demon Small World, where Absolute Battle Emperor announced that his half-demonization had succeeded.
Absolute Battle Emperor entered the Dark Demon Small World and discovered the Nine Heavens Sword Dao in the Dark Demon Abyss, then advanced through the Nine Heavens Restriction while Sikong Jing rebuilt his body. The chapter left Absolute Battle Emperor at the fourth layer, beginning to merge with the Nine Heavens Magic Beast bloodline.
Sikong Jing completed his reconstruction and rushed to the Nine Heavens Restriction’s fourth layer to stop the Absolute Battle Emperor from learning about the Dark Demon Small World. He attacked the Absolute Battle Emperor, and their battle began with Sikong Jing fighting at Six-Tribulation strength against a powerful Ninth-Tribulation opponent.
Sikong Jing unleashed his Mad Beast Sword Dao and overwhelmed the Absolute Battle Emperor, forcing it to flee from the fourth restriction layer. Above the Dark Demon Small World, their domains clashed across nearly the entire world, and the Absolute Battle Emperor feared what Sikong Jing might become if he reached the Emperor realm.
Sikong Jing used a vitality-infused Mad Beast Sword Dao to defeat Absolute Battle Emperor and wreck his possession body as Absolute Battle escaped the Dark Demon Small World. After hearing Absolute Battle’s account of the Nine Heavens Sword Dao, Absolute Pill Emperor concluded that Sikong Jing was hiding a major secret and ordered the Seal Faction to train demon beasts in half-demonization and the sword dao.
Sikong Jing returned to the Dark Demon Small World, took the Magic Beast Sword Spirit despite its objections, and set off for the Spirit Seal Realm. Meanwhile, Su Yuexi prepared to join the war, but a mysterious girl appeared and offered to help her catch up to Jing Gege.
A mysterious girl who claimed to be Su Yuexi’s second soul possessed Flying Cloud Colorful Butterfly and forced a powerful Ten Thousand Beasts Flower Blood Drop into Su Yuexi. Su Yuexi began to fuse Sikong Jing’s essence blood into it after Su Beiheng’s corpse warned her that Sikong Jing faced an unimaginable crisis and told her to trust only her husband.
