• Sikong Jing sensed the pursuit and recalled his agreement with Gongsun Jie, but decided not to let himself be captured yet as he examined the pure essence blood he had found.

• Sikong Jing touched the Nine Heavens Essence Blood to the Six-Horned Magic Beast blood, and a red gleam shot into his sea of consciousness.
• Sikong Jing saw a brief vision of the Nine Heavens Emperor confronting the Six-Horned Magic Beast above Relicless Mountain City, then wondered whether the vision had ended because there was too little blood.

Sikong Jing entered Relicless Mountain City despite Gongsun Jie’s warning and drew out Six-Horned Magic Beast Blood along with the Nine Heavens Emperor’s ordinary blood. Their combined blood showed him a clearer vision of the two fighting, and he ended up at the Divine Relic Small World’s barrier, where more mountain cities and blood lay beyond it.

• Sikong Jing entered Relicless Mountain City and found that attacks against a small castle were repelled, so he used his Nine Heavens Emperor essence blood and demonic transformation to open its gates.
• Sikong Jing drew out Six-Horned Magic Beast Blood, which triggered blood scattered throughout the mountain cities to gather into a second mass containing the Nine Heavens Emperor’s ordinary blood.
• Sikong Jing fused the blood and saw a clearer vision of the Nine Heavens Emperor, wounded, confronting the powerful Six-Horned Magic Beast above the mountain cities.
• Sikong Jing speculated that the vision might show the Nine Heavens Emperor losing her ability to suppress the Six-Horned Magic Beast, then sensed more blood deeper in the cities.
• Sikong Jing struck an invisible world barrier at the edge of the Divine Relic Small World and saw mountain cities beyond it, where he sensed more Six-Horned Magic Beast Blood.

Sikong Jing entered Extreme Demonization and saw that the mountain city beyond the world barrier held a severed limb of the Six-Horned Magic Beast. As he drew it toward himself, the pursuers reached Relicless Mountain City and Zhan Ai and Zhan Sha sensed his magic-beast aura.

• Sikong Jing realized that Extreme Demonization let him see beyond the world barrier and confirmed that the distant mountain city was not a reflection.

At the realm wall, Sikong Jing struggled to keep his consciousness as the Six-Horned Magic Beast’s severed arm approached.

• Zhan Ai attacked Gongsun Jie and Wan Benyi after Emperor Zhan Ke ordered the War Beast Clan to target them.
• Zhan Sha revealed his Emperor-level strength, and Emperor Zhan Ke told the other leaders that Zhan Sha had already passed his Emperor Tribulation.

• Gongsun Jie and Wan Benyi joined forces and fled toward Relicless Mountain City, with Zhan Ai and Zhan Sha pursuing them.
• Sikong Jing wondered whether the Six-Horned Magic Beast’s severed arm could pass through the realm wall.

Sikong Jing stopped his extreme demonic transformation when Zhan Ai sensed Vast Universe’s aura, then used Nine Heavens Essence Blood to trigger another vision of the Nine Heavens Emperor. The vision revealed that the Lord of the mountain city controlled the Six-Horned Magic Beast and attacked the Nine Heavens Emperor with an Aurora Sacred Pearl.

• Sikong Jing halted his extreme demonic transformation after Zhan Ai detected Vast Universe’s aura, and the severed arm stopped pressing through the boundary wall.
• Sikong Jing realized that Gongsun Jie and the other Great Emperors were fighting two War Beast Clan Great Emperors, and decided not to join the battle yet.
• Sikong Jing touched Nine Heavens Essence Blood to the severed arm’s claw and triggered a clear phantom vision for the third time.
• The Nine Heavens Emperor accused the Lord of the mountain city of controlling the Six-Horned Magic Beast and blocking his path.
• The Six-Horned Magic Beast brought out an Aurora Sacred Pearl and used it to bombard the Nine Heavens Emperor.

After witnessing the Nine Heavens Emperor absorb the Aurora Sacred Pearl’s bombardment and form an Aurora Emperor Vein, Sikong Jing used her example to create a tiny sprout of his own. When the Burial Emperor Rules threatened to punish him, Nine Heavens Essence Blood concealed the new vein’s power and the danger disappeared.

• Sikong Jing watched an illusion of the Nine Heavens Emperor defying the Aurora Sacred Pearl’s suppression and absorbing its bombardment to construct an Aurora Emperor Vein.
• After the illusion ended, Sikong Jing realized the Nine Heavens Emperor had succeeded and studied the Aurora bombardment’s power.
• Sikong Jing used his Mind Sword and unyielding will to force the tiny Sacred Pearl fragment’s energy into his flesh, where it clashed with the Spirit Willow’s life force.
• Sikong Jing formed a tiny Aurora Emperor Vein sprout and sensed that the Burial Emperor Rules might punish him.
• Nine Heavens Essence Blood flowed into Sikong Jing and covered the new vein’s power, making the threatening danger vanish.

Sikong Jing concluded that the Nine Heavens Emperor’s essence blood was meant to guide and protect him as he broke the Burial Emperor Rules, then hurried to join the battle in the mountain city cluster. He reunited with the wounded Gongsun Jie and Wan Benyi, concealed his Vast Universe aura, and faced Zhan Ai and Zhan Sha’s threat.

• Sikong Jing guessed that the Nine Heavens Emperor had left her essence blood to help him witness the past and break the restraints binding the two great worlds.
• Sikong Jing set aside his investigation and flew toward the mountain city cluster to help Gongsun Jie and Wan Benyi.
• Gongsun Jie and Wan Benyi confronted Sikong Jing for arriving late, and he blamed his delay on losing himself in demonization.
• Zhan Ai questioned Sikong Jing about the Vast Universe aura on him, but Sikong Jing attributed it to swallowing the Nine Heavens Emperor’s magic beast blood.
• Sikong Jing revealed his stable Aurora Emperor Vein, concealed the remaining Vast Universe aura, and dispelled Zhan Ai and Zhan Sha’s suspicions.
• Zhan Ai declared that Sikong Jing, Gongsun Jie, and Wan Benyi would all die.

Sikong Jing used Relicless Mountain City and coordinated ambushes to split the War Beast pursuers, leaving him alone with the newly advanced Zhan Sha. As he fled toward the Dark Relic Canopy, he began testing whether his improved Demonic Path Ninefold Body could devour the spiritual-energy impurities in his body.

• Sikong Jing, Gongsun Jie, and Wan Benyi broke through Zhan Ai and Zhan Sha’s Emperor Domains, then fled in three directions to prevent the War Beasts from defeating them one by one.
• Sikong Jing baited the War Beasts into pursuing him and descended into Relicless Mountain City, where he concealed his aura amid the ricocheting sword radiance.
• Gongsun Jie and Wan Benyi repeatedly ambushed Zhan Sha, forcing Zhan Ai to protect him until Zhan Ai split from Zhan Sha to fight them.
• Zhan Sha caught up to Sikong Jing and battered him as he fled toward the Dark Relic Canopy, but could not land a decisive blow.
• Sikong Jing decided to test whether his improved Demonic Path Ninefold Body could devour his spiritual-energy impurities, then sent his Demonic-Form Spirit Shadow to consume weaker impurities.

Sikong Jing used his altered constitution and Aurora Emperor Vein to absorb spiritual energy impurities, rebuild his Extreme Prison foundation, and advance his cultivation while fleeing Zhan Sha. As Zhan Sha continued the pursuit, witnesses watched from the Divine Relic Hall and feared the Wild Beast Young Master was about to lose the betting battle.

• The witnesses concluded Zhan Sha would defeat the Seven-Tribulation Wild Beast, leaving Qin Yitai and the Nine Heavens Alliance worried about the Zither Treasure Chamber of Commerce's fate.

Sikong Jing transformed into a Six-Horned Magic Beast to contain the impurities in his body and conceal his extreme demonization, then chose to face Zhan Sha. As the onlookers refused to intervene, Sikong Jing fought Zhan Sha with his Absolute Sword Demon Domain, and Zhan Sha answered with the Beast God Seal.

• Zhan Da ordered Zhan Ke to have Zhan Sha capture Sikong Jing alive if possible, but Chang Xiangxiang noticed Sikong Jing transforming into a Six-Horned Magic Beast.

• Sikong Jing merged his Absolute Sword Dao with his magic beast power to form an Absolute Sword Demon Domain, and Zhan Sha used the Beast God Seal.

Sikong Jing retained his reason in six-horned beast form and used his attacks to devour Zhan Sha’s power, turning their day-long battle in his favor. As Zhan Ke tore up the wager and led the War Beast Clan toward the Dark Relic Canopy to kill Sikong Jing, the Divine Relic Academy Dean and Ancient Soul Emperor pursued them to stop him.

• Sikong Jing fought Zhan Sha for a day and a night while maintaining his cultivation at the peak of the Seven Tribulations and devouring Zhan Sha’s power through his attacks.
• The Divine Relic Academy Dean explained that Sikong Jing had retained his reason and was weakening Zhan Sha by devouring his strength, and the onlookers saw Sikong Jing begin to suppress him.
• Emperor Zhan Ke learned that Zhan Sha was losing and that Zhan Ai was being held back by Gongsun Jie and the others.
• Zhan Ke tore up the three-sided wager agreement and led about a hundred War Beast Clan experts toward the Dark Relic Canopy, declaring that the magic beast must die.
• The Divine Relic Academy Dean and Ancient Soul Emperor pursued Zhan Ke, determined to stop him from killing Sikong Jing while he still had his reason.
• Beneath the Dark Relic Canopy, Sikong Jing reflected that the battle had strengthened his foundation and demonization as he continued attacking and devouring Zhan Sha.

Sikong Jing continued fighting Zhan Sha while concealing that he was deliberately controlling his demonization, but the others believed he had become a Blood Devour Magic Beast. Emperor Zhan Ke and the Nine Heavens Alliance leaders arrived almost together, leaving Sikong Jing's fate uncertain.

• Sikong Jing wounded Zhan Sha and pursued it toward Relicless Mountain City after the Divine Relic Academy Dean warned that Emperor Zhan Ke was coming to kill him.

• Emperor Zhan Ke arrived with a hundred battle beasts and monster beasts as the Divine Relic Academy Dean, the Ancient Soul Emperor, and their allies reached the battlefield.
• Zhan Ke demanded to kill Sikong Jing, while the Divine Relic Academy Dean insisted that the Wild Beast Young Master might retain his reason; Zhan Ai and the exhausted fighters indicated they believed Sikong Jing was beyond saving.

Sikong Jing revealed that he had retained his sanity despite appearing demonized, then used Zhan Sha to block Emperor Zhan Ke’s attack. With witnesses blaming Zhan Ke for Zhan Sha’s death, Sikong Jing explained that he had pretended to be completely demonized to avoid being killed immediately.

• Zhan Da insisted that the demonized wild beast had lost all reason, while Zhan Sha pleaded for someone to save him.
• Sikong Jing spoke clearly and denied becoming a Blood Devour Magic Beast, stunning the gathered powerhouses.
• Emperor Zhan Ke attacked Sikong Jing, but Sikong Jing pulled Zhan Sha into the lethal strike, killing him.
• The Divine Relic Academy Dean, Ancient Soul Emperor, and witnesses restrained Zhan Ke and accused him of causing Zhan Sha’s death.
• Sikong Jing admitted he had deliberately pretended to be completely demonized so Zhan Ke would delay attacking him.

Sikong Jing used the Nine Heavens Sword Dao to purge the demon from his body, proving his bloodline awakening and forcing Emperor Zhan Ke to concede the wager battle and leave. With the remaining factions poised to resume their own contest, Sikong Jing proposed that Dean Gongsun and Emperor Wan Benyi fight, and that he would join the winner’s side.

• Sikong Jing accused Emperor Zhan Ke of causing Zhan Sha’s death through the War Beast Clan’s dishonorable actions.
• Sikong Jing unleashed the Nine Heavens Sword Dao and cut the demonic corruption out of his body, returning to human size with pure peak Seventh Tribulation beast intent.
• Sikong Jing revealed that the Nine Heavens Essence Blood had awakened more of his bloodline memories, and the witnesses accepted that he was under a hundred years old.
• The Divine Relic Academy Dean challenged Zhan Ke over whether it still intended to kill Sikong Jing, while the Divine Cry Emperor offered to help protect him.

• Sikong Jing pretended that his body could not endure another deep demonic possession and proposed that Dean Gongsun and Emperor Wan Benyi fight, with him joining the winner’s side.

After Gongsun Jie defeated Zhan Ai, the War Beast Clan surrendered Qin Luoluo, and Sikong Jing joined the Nine Heavens Alliance under the name Mo Yu. When the Divine Relic Academy Dean questioned him about his secrets and his failure to follow their agreement, Sikong Jing claimed the Lord of Mountain City had summoned him and shown him a vision, leaving the dean demanding more details.

• Sikong Jing secretly shared his Nine Heavens Sword Dao understanding with Gongsun Jie, who narrowly defeated Zhan Ai and won Qin Luoluo for the Nine Heavens Alliance.
• Ancient Soul Emperor warned that the War Beast Clan would still attack in secret, while the Divine Relic Academy Dean invited the Divine Cry Sect and others to study the Nine Heavens Sword Dao.
• After everyone left the Divine Relic Small World, Sikong Jing returned to the academy and met with the dean, Gongsun Chi, Qin Yitai, and Qin Luoluo.
• Sikong Jing introduced himself as Mo Yu and assured the dean and Gongsun Chi that he and Qin Luoluo would treat the Nine Heavens Alliance as home.
• When the dean pressed him about his nature, his Sword Dao, and his failure to follow their agreement, Sikong Jing said the Lord of Mountain City had summoned him and shown him a vision of the Nine Heavens Emperor battling with the Aurora Sacred Pearl.
• The dean recalled that the Aurora Sacred Pearl had once disappeared, but questioned why the Lord of Mountain City had summoned Sikong Jing and what else he had gained.

Sikong Jing used the ancient records of Relicless Mountain City to persuade the Divine Relic Academy Dean to let him continue exploring the Divine Relic Small World. The Dean failed to uncover Sikong Jing’s secrets but remained suspicious of his connection to the Mountain City Lord.

• Sikong Jing claimed a mysterious voice had told him to reclaim the original Relicless Mountain City, and the Divine Relic Academy Dean recalled an ancient record describing a vast former city.

• When the Divine Relic Academy Dean pressed him about his origins and Nine Heavens Sword Dao, Sikong Jing offered explanations and concealed his abilities while the Dean examined his body.
• The Divine Relic Academy Dean sent Sikong Jing, Qin Yitai, and his daughter to rest, then asked Gongsun Chi what he thought of Sikong Jing.
• Gongsun Chi said he saw no clear problem but believed Sikong Jing was hiding something, and he wondered why the Mountain City Lord had called to him.

Sikong Jing secured a position in the Divine Relic Academy and entered seclusion to strengthen his Aurora Emperor Vein before exploring the Divine Relic Small World. Meanwhile, Gongsun Chi plotted to take everything from him, Wan Qi wrestled with whether to help him, and the War Beast Clan vowed to avenge its defeat.

• Gongsun Chi accepted the plan to send Sikong Jing into the Divine Relic Small World, but privately vowed to claim his power and become the next Nine Heavens Emperor.
• Sikong Jing named his mountain residence Divine Relic Wild Beast Hall, entrusted its arrangements to Qin Yitai and his daughter, and entered seclusion to cultivate his Aurora Emperor Vein.

• Zhan Ke refused to attack Zither Treasure City after the War Beast Clan's defeat and instead vowed to restore the clan's honor by killing Sikong Jing openly.
• Zhan Da questioned how Sikong Jing's Nine Heavens Sword Dao had grown so powerful, and Zhan Sha's spirit shadow insisted that it had been powerful even before Sikong Jing obtained the Nine Heavens Essence Blood.

The War Beast Clan learned that the Aurora Sacred Pearl had detected an infiltrator from the Vast Cosmos Great World and traveled to the Aurora Sacred Domain to help locate it. There, they discovered that a Wild Beast Emperor and his granddaughter had long served as hidden guardians of the Aurora Sacred Pearl, leaving Zhan Ke suspicious that the Aurora Guardians had deliberately provoked his clan.

• Zhan Da suggested that the Seven-Tribulation Wild Beast might be an infiltrator, and the Aurora Sacred Lord summoned Zhan Ke and the War Beast Clan to help find the suspected intruder.
• Zhan Ke led Zhan Da and the others to the Aurora Sacred Domain, where the Aurora Sacred Lord introduced them to Huang Yin and Huang Huan.
• Zhan Ke and Zhan Da recognized Huang Yin and Huang Huan as Wild Beasts, and Huang Yin revealed that his clan had become the Aurora Sacred Pearl's shadow guardians after the War Beast Clan nearly wiped them out.
• Zhan Ke accused the Aurora Sacred Lord of luring him there to help the Wild Beasts replace his clan, but she insisted the Wild Beasts were merely servants of the Aurora Sacred Pearl.
• The War Beast Clan wondered whether the Aurora Guardians had sent the Seven-Tribulation Wild Beast to provoke them.

After two and a half months of seclusion, Sikong Jing set out to explore the Divine Relic Small World with the Divine Relic Academy Dean and others, as a hidden observer announced that the Four Great Powers’ secret operation was about to begin.

• The Aurora Sacred Lord claimed the Seven-Tribulation Wild Beast might have been created by the Vast Cosmos Great World and proposed capturing it for the War Beast Clan to use against Sikong Jing.
• Huang Huan swore a blood oath and became Zhan Da’s slave, while the Aurora Sacred Lord refused Emperor Zhan Ke’s request to take Huang Yin as his slave.
• Emperor Zhan Ke, Huang Yin, and War Beast Clan experts used the Aurora Sacred Pearl and small demon beasts to search for the Vast Cosmos invader, but they failed to locate him over two months.
• Sikong Jing emerged from seclusion and agreed to explore the Divine Relic Small World with the Divine Relic Academy Dean, Qin Luoluo, Wan Qi, Mu Bujun, Gongsun Jie, and others.
• As the group departed, someone watching from the Dark Relic Canopy noted that Wild Beast Mo Yu had entered the Divine Relic Small World and that the Four Great Powers’ secret operation was about to begin.

The Seven Decree Emperor and the Mist Emperor followed Mo Yu into Relicless Mountain City, planning to seize him and his Nine Heavens Sword Dao. At the city’s deepest point, Sikong Jing examined the strange claw tip and decided to use the hidden threat to create a chance to act alone.

• The Seven Decree Emperor revealed that he had infiltrated the Divine Relic Small World with the Mist Emperor and Little Cao to capture Mo Yu.
• Sikong Jing sensed a familiar aura above the Dark Relic Canopy but concealed his suspicions as the group continued to Relicless Mountain City.
• The Seven Decree Emperor dismissed the possibility that Mo Yu had detected them and ordered the others to follow the group until an opportunity to strike arose.
• The Divine Relic Academy Dean showed Sikong Jing a claw tip protruding from beyond the world barrier and proposed investigating it for clues to the original Relicless Mountain City.
• Sikong Jing pretended to inspect the claw tip while deciding to trigger the hidden plot and find a chance to act alone.

Sikong Jing pretended that the severed claw was a trap and used the Divine Relic Academy Dean to draw away the hidden pursuers. The Mist Emperor then captured Sikong Jing and escaped, leaving Gongsun Jie and Gongsun Chi in pursuit.

• Gongsun Jie, Gongsun Chi, and the Nine Heavens Sword Sons and Sword Maidens chased the Mist Emperor while Qin Luoluo and the others watched in confusion.

Sikong Jing revealed that he had let the Mist Emperor capture him so he could draw away the Divine Relic Academy Dean and expose the attackers. After escaping and luring the pursuers away, he returned to Xiaoxiao's claw tip and began retrieving the Six-Horned Magic Beast's severed arm from beyond the world barrier.

• The Mist Emperor's spatial treasure exploded, and Sikong Jing emerged in Six-Horned Beast Form, revealing he had never been knocked unconscious.
• Gongsun Jie and Gongsun Chi arrived and struck the Mist Emperor alongside Sikong Jing, allowing Sikong Jing to flee toward Relicless Mountain City.
• Sikong Jing claimed the trap had driven him deeper into demonic corruption, and Gongsun Jie and the others attacked the Mist Emperor while he escaped.
• The Seven Decree Emperor ordered the Mist Emperor to abandon the pursuit and rendezvous with him because their operation had failed.
• Sikong Jing returned to Qin Luoluo, Mu Bujun, and Xiaoxiao's claw tip, then entered extreme demonization to retrieve the severed arm beyond the world barrier.

Sikong Jing took the Six-Horned Magic Beast's severed arm and circled the Divine Relic Small World's boundary wall in search of more remains. Meanwhile, the Seven Orders Emperor and Mist Emperor escaped amid a clash between the Nine Heavens Alliance and the Four Great Powers, and Sikong Jing spotted a colossal scaled mountain beyond the wall.

• Sikong Jing extracted the Six-Horned Magic Beast's severed arm, told Qin Luoluo and the others to cover for him, and flew along the boundary wall.

• Sikong Jing traveled along the boundary wall for three days and entered the Ancient Relic Mist Sea, where thick fog obscured his view beyond the wall.
• Sikong Jing stopped after seeing a colossal mountain of scales beyond the boundary wall, ten times larger than the severed arm.
