• The Nine Heavens Emperor’s projection called Sikong Jing the strongest one using Demons to Control Demons and the later arrival to Mountain City Beyond the Wall, making him suspect the Burial Emperor Rules had not fully taken control.

The Nine Heavens Emperor's phantom explained how her hidden arrangements had protected Sikong Jing from the Burial Emperor Rules and warned him that his future Emperor Tribulation would also be a Divine Tribulation.

• The Seven Decree Emperor arrived with the Mist Emperor and other forces, identified Sikong Jing’s hiding place, and led an Army-Slaying Formation in an attack.

Sikong Jing emerged in human form and used the Six-Horned Magic Beast’s remains and his Tribulation-Breaking Power to devastate the Seven Decree Emperor’s forces. He faced the surviving Great Emperor-level figures and attacked again with the Mad Beast Sword Dao.

• Sikong Jing thrust out his sword again, transforming it into the Mad Beast Sword Dao.

Sikong Jing used the Seven Decree Emperor and then the Ten Thousand Flames Emperor as opponents to temper his power, defeating both while keeping them alive. After Wan Qi passed her Five-Tribulation ordeal, the God-Devouring Demoness appeared in the Origin Universe, and Sikong Jing learned that the Mountain and River Divine General and Prison-Suppressing Shan Wei were suffering in their places of suppression.

• Sikong Jing continued fighting the Seven Decree Emperor to temper himself and kept the battle going so other sect-master-level Great Emperors would still dare to challenge him.

• Sikong Jing collected the Six-Horned Magic Beast remains and prepared to leave after concluding that the mysterious powerhouses had witnessed his actions.
• The God-Devouring Demoness said she had visited Su Yuexi and hinted that she nearly revealed something the Burial Emperor Rules would punish her for saying.
• Sikong Jing and Qin Luoluo suspected the Burial Emperor Rules might target Su Yuexi, and Sikong Jing vowed to trust her strength and bring her back if she lost herself.

• A mysterious powerhouse told Sacred Might True Emperor that Sikong Jing had killed Seven Decree and Ten Thousand Flames using the Six-Horned Magic Beast’s remains, and urged the emperors to hunt him in groups.
• The mysterious powerhouse gave Huang Yin essence blood, helping him advance to the sect-master level, and Sacred Might True Emperor ordered his forces to set a net for Sikong Jing.
• Another mysterious powerhouse helped the Divine Relic Academy Dean create a mirror that tracked Sikong Jing, while further projections arranged similar treasures for other Origin Universe groups.
• The Divine Relic Academy Dean coordinated with Sacred Might True Emperor and ordered the forces to prepare for Sikong Jing and his subordinate A Mu.
• After ten years of training and guidance, Yu Mang cut through the chains binding him in the Hell Array and declared that he could finally leave.

Yu Mang attacked and seemingly killed Mystic Jade Emperor to prevent him from breaking free and helping Sikong Jing, but Mystic Jade Emperor repeatedly revived through the power of the red fruit he had eaten. The chapter ended with Mystic Jade Emperor wondering whether he possessed an immortal body as Yu Mang led the Prison Race onward.

• Yu Mang told Jue Tian that he would kill Mystic Jade Emperor before breaking the array, then confronted him on the seventeenth level.
• Yu Mang told Mystic Jade Emperor that Sikong Jing had obtained the ninth level of the Nine Heavens Sword Dao and was being besieged, then attacked him.
• Mystic Jade Emperor fought to delay Yu Mang for Sikong Jing’s sake, but Yu Mang crushed his body and spirit projection.
• After Yu Mang left, Mystic Jade Emperor revived with the help of the red fruit’s power and attacked Yu Mang as he led the Prison Race away.
• Yu Mang killed Mystic Jade Emperor again, but Mystic Jade Emperor revived once more from blood essence and a spirit projection hidden beneath Fire Rock Mountain.

The Mystic Jade Emperor repeatedly resurrected after Yu Mang killed him, then received the Hell Array Ancient Ancestor’s inheritance through the Reincarnation Path. He returned beneath Fire Rock Mountain and began cultivating to escape his chains and protect Vast Universe, while Sikong Jing sensed Absolute Heart aboard the Divine Cosmos Ship.

• Yu Mang repeatedly killed the Mystic Jade Emperor, but the Mystic Jade Emperor kept reviving until Yu Mang refined away his essence blood and spiritual shadow inside a grand array.
• The Mystic Jade Emperor found himself beyond the Hell Array in the Reincarnation Path, where the Hell Array Ancient Ancestor revealed that the Hell Fruit had connected him to the Ancient Ancestor’s world.
• The Hell Array Ancient Ancestor passed his inheritance to the Mystic Jade Emperor and asked him to find the person who could break the Burial Emperor Rules; the Mystic Jade Emperor resolved to pass the inheritance to Sikong Jing.
• The Mystic Jade Emperor returned beneath Fire Rock Mountain, found that Yu Mang had departed, and began cultivating the inheritance to sever his chains and break open the Hell Array.
• Half a month after Wan Qi overcame the Fifth Tribulation, Sikong Jing cultivated aboard the Divine Cosmos Ship with Qin Luoluo and the others, then opened his eyes and said, “Absolute Heart...”

Absolute Heart Emperor told Sikong Jing that Yu Mang had escaped the Hell Array and Mystic Jade Emperor was dead, then fled rather than fight. Sikong Jing suspected her visit was meant to disrupt them, so he urged Mu Bujun to cultivate carefully and resumed observing the Ninth Layer as he considered how quickly he could return to Vast Universe.

• Absolute Heart Emperor told Sikong Jing that Yu Mang had broken through the Hell Array and Mystic Jade Emperor had died.
• Sikong Jing asked whether Absolute Heart Emperor would fight or flee, and she fled with Yu Xing after threatening to join her senior brothers in attacking the Vast Cosmos Great World.
• Sikong Jing told Mu Bujun not to rush his breakthrough and explained that Absolute Heart Emperor had come to make him anxious because the Origin Universe might be laying a trap.
• Sikong Jing resumed cultivating and observing the Ninth Layer while weighing Yu Mang's strength and the defenses awaiting him in Vast Universe.
