While Sikong Jing endured demonic transformation under the Burial Emperor Rules, Su Yuexi tried to weaken herself so he could become the strongest in Using Demons to Control Demons. Her dantian and body kept reconstructing, and after she detonated herself, the New Snow-Tempered Sword Spirit carried her back to the Dark Demon Small World.
Su Yuexi was unable to enter the Hell Array to reach Sikong Jing, and Xie Bumian stopped her from risking a journey to the Primordial Cosmos. As the Anti-Seal Faction consolidated its victory, Su Yuexi nearly lost control to the God-Devouring Demoness, but she mastered the Qing Ling Sword Jing and resolved to wait for Sikong Jing’s return.
After three years of punishment, Sikong Jing forcibly returned his consciousness to his monstrous body, while a terrifying sword intent appeared on the Hell Array’s eighteenth level. He realized the sword intent came from the Nine Heavens Emperor, and heard a voice promise to sever his chains.
Sikong Jing learned that he had become the strongest in Using Demons to Control Demons and was freed from the Hell Array’s chains by the Nine Heavens Emperor’s sword power. The Burial Emperor Rules sent modified monsters and Emperor-level pursuers after him, and Sikong Jing fled into the eighteenth level with Mu Bujun and the others.
Sikong Jing escaped the Hell Array by using the Nine Heavens Emperor’s sword dao array and emerged in the Burial Emperor Battlefield, where he discovered that Primordial Cosmos forces had invaded the Vast Cosmos Great World. He left the battlefield to investigate the invasion and sensed that its Nine Heavens Sword Dao belonged to the Absolute Heart Emperor.
Sikong Jing discovered that the Origin Universe had sent a vastly larger invasion force through the crossing passage and decided to return to the Hell Array to destroy or seal it. Inside the array, Yu Mang and the monster emperors learned of Sikong Jing’s return and rushed to the eighteenth level, where he had already activated the Nine Heavens Emperor’s sword dao array again.
Sikong Jing used the Nine Heavens Sword Qi to sever the passageway and disrupt the Origin Universe invasion. He then attacked the stranded invaders on the Vast Universe side, killing their Emperor Venerables as they tried to flee.
Sikong Jing slaughtered the Primordial Cosmos forces in the Burial Emperor Battlefield and used its Yin spirits against a Great Emperor and the Divine Cosmos Ships. He left the path-clearing Great Emperor pinned in the attack as the first ship and its troops were destroyed.
Sikong Jing used the Mad Beast Sword Dao to unleash battlefield Yin spirits on the Origin Universe fleets, killing Pathfinder Emperor and destroying many Divine Cosmos Ships. The Burial Emperor Rules then instructed the Hell Array monsters to continue modifying geniuses, but only those from the Origin Universe, leaving Yu Mang worried that his Vast Universe disciples could not be chosen.
Yu Mang learned that the Burial Emperor Rules had tasked mysterious powerhouses with transforming Primordial Cosmos geniuses to kill Sikong Jing, while Horse Armor chose a Prison Race genius as his new successor. Su Yuexi returned to the Dark Demon Abyss to reach the Burial Emperor Tomb, but found that the Nine Heavens Emperor’s entire Using Demons to Control Demons realm had vanished.
Su Yuexi and the Emperors struggled to understand why Using Demons to Control Demons had vanished, while Sikong Jing continued cultivating in the Burial Emperor Tomb. The New Snow-Tempered Sword Spirit arrived and attacked him with killing intent, declaring that he had violated the rules.
The Snow-Tempered Sword Spirit attacked Sikong Jing and flooded him with spiritual-energy impurities, leaving him unable to advance for a long time. When the Using Demons to Control Demons experimental ground entered the Burial Emperor Battlefield, Sikong Jing realized the Burial Emperor Rules were trying to destroy the Nine Heavens Emperor’s plan, but he resolved to complete it without the ninth-level inheritance.
Sikong Jing learned that the Burial Emperor Rules planned to seize Using Demons to Control Demons and turn it into a training ground for Primordial Cosmos geniuses to fight him. He decided to enter the Primordial Cosmos, after learning from the Magic Beast Sword Spirit about Su Yuexi and the danger of losing his chance to rebuild his body.
Sikong Jing prepared to infiltrate the Origin Universe by disguising his Vast Cosmos aura with bloodlines from Origin Universe monsters, hoping to evade the Aurora Sacred Pearl. He gathered monster flesh and blood from the Hell Array, but Wan Qi warned that the plan could never fool the pearl.
Sikong Jing prepared to infiltrate the Primordial Cosmos by masking his Vast Cosmos aura with monster bloodlines and sending Su Yuexi a message about his plans. After a month, he had taken on an aura resembling a demon beast, and Qin Luoluo suggested he enter under the identity of the Wild Beast Clan.
Sikong Jing explained how he could disguise himself as a Wild Beast Clan member and evade the Aurora Sacred Pearl by layering its aura over the Hell Array’s spiritual energy impurities. He transformed Wan Qi and Mu Bujun into humanoid fierce beasts as his guards, leaving the group prepared to infiltrate the Origin Universe.
Sikong Jing and his companions entered the Primordial Cosmos under disguise and headed for the Zither Treasure Chamber of Commerce’s ship to learn about the current situation. Qin Luoluo found her father alive, but Sikong Jing sensed a hostile ship approaching as the chapter ended.
Sikong Jing watched as the four great powers returned the Zither Treasure Chamber of Commerce to the Nine Heavens Alliance, where Feng Biao threatened Qin Yitai and demanded its hidden wealth. Just as Qin Yitai’s family faced ruin, Qin Luoluo returned with three robed figures and revealed that her father had been waiting for her.
Qin Luoluo posed as Qin Jiaojiao to halt the Zither Treasure Chamber of Commerce’s sale and asked Qin Yitai about the Nine Heavens Alliance. Qin Yitai revealed that the Alliance had nearly fallen apart after Qin Jiaojiao and Shi Feng’s betrayal, but a supreme sword prodigy named Gongsun Chi had emerged.
Qin Yitai explained how Gongsun Chi, Chang Xiangxiang, and a War Beast Clan genius reshaped the Primordial Cosmos’s power balance and led to a planned invasion of the Vast Cosmos Great World. Lord Xiao then revealed the factions’ proposed fate for the Zither Treasure Chamber of Commerce, leaving Qin Luoluo and Qin Yitai facing a grave threat.
Sikong Jing challenged Lord Xiao and Feng Biao after they ordered Qin Jiaojiao and the Zither Treasure Chamber of Commerce to submit, then destroyed their ship and crushed Lord Xiao’s Ninth Tribulation attack. He left the crowd stunned by revealing strength far beyond what his apparent Seven Tribulations realm suggested.
Sikong Jing defeated Lord Xiao and Feng Biao, then protected the Zither Treasure Chamber of Commerce as it fled the Burial Emperor Tomb. He left the two Nine-Tribulation Emperor Venerables trapped until the ship had escaped, while they contacted their allies and awaited the Great Emperors.
Qin Yitai reunited with Qin Luoluo and learned that the black-robed warrior who rescued her was Mo Yu of the Wild Beast Clan. Mo Yu warned that the Zither Treasure Chamber of Commerce had made enemies of several major powers, while the Seven Decree Great Emperor investigated Mo Yu’s victory over two Ninth Tribulation cultivators.
The Emperors debated the black-robed man, the Zither Treasure Chamber of Commerce, and control of the Nine Heavens Alliance. The Absolute Heart Emperor then announced that the Nine Heavens Emperor’s secret inheritance ground was entering the Primordial Cosmos.
Absolute Heart Emperor told the Origin Universe’s Great Emperors that Sikong Jing had survived his tribulation and that the Nine Heavens Emperor’s Secret Inheritance Site would arrive, persuading the factions to pause their infighting and compete for its inheritance. After the site briefly appeared and vanished, she revealed that she had lied about her source, was a modified reincarnation under a hundred years old, and intended to claim the inheritance herself.
