Sikong Jing forced Yao Changeng to refine medicine to restore Su Yuexi’s meridians and dantian, while Long Night Holy Dragon Palace took control of Star Luo Palace. After the medicine was completed, Sikong Jing brought Su Yuexi to take it, leaving her recovery uncertain.
Su Yuexi’s meridians and dantian recovered enough for her bloodline to transform into a legendary battle physique. As the power of the Thousand-Beast Flower Blood Drop erupted from her, Sikong Jing realized her transformation might not be complete.
Sikong Jing learned that Su Yuexi’s agony came from two battle bodies awakening and struggling for control. He found a way to suppress the Thousand-Beast Flower Blood Drop battle body while preserving it, then returned to find Qin Heng and the other court heads gathered around her.
Sikong Jing used his blood and the aura of the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts to suppress Su Yuexi’s conflicting battle physiques, saving her and allowing her first Battle Body to awaken safely. After he left with Su Yuexi, Qin Heng and the others realized Sikong Jing might possess an even stronger Battle Body himself.
Yao Changeng discovered that Sikong Jing and Su Yuexi were battle bodies, so the Long Night Holy Dragon Palace bound him to keep the secret and sought Shen Qingye to train Su Yuexi. After twenty days, Sikong Jing completed the Six-Elephant Sword Art, reached the ninth level of the Mystic Sea Realm, and gave the palace its second Universe-grade martial technique.
Sikong Jing rejected the Sacred Dragon Central Academy’s demand to join it, urging the Long Night Holy Dragon Palace to stall for time and grow stronger. After revealing he was the Dark Wing Commander and returning to the army, he learned that the Eastern Plains Thousand Tyrants Ranking placed him at 698.
Sikong Jing learned that Ji Ming had passed off the uncontrollable failures of the Seven Wolf Guards as the wager he owed Beigong Xianfeng. Sikong Jing entered the compound and commanded the seven hundred half-wolf soldiers to form ranks, and they obeyed.
Sikong Jing calmed the seven hundred half-human, half-wolves and formed them into his Eternal Night Wolf Guards, giving them an art that could restore their original forms. He returned to the Sixty-Sixth Legion while Beigong Xianfeng went to search for records of the Eternal Night Wolf King, and Sikong Jing admitted the art was still far from his goal.
Sikong Jing worried that his name on the Eastern Plains Thousand Tyrants Ranking would reveal he was alive to Sikong Ling, and resolved to avoid rising into the top hundred. Wangqing discovered his name on the ranking and set out to use it against Sikong Ling, but Mo Ci blocked her at the palace gates.
Mo Ci uncovered Wangqing’s plot against Sikong Ling and took her toward the Long Night Imperial Capital to make her kill Sikong Jing in front of Sikong Ling. Three days later, Chi Hang rejected the suggestion that he date Su Yuexian, calling her unworthy.
Chi Hang framed Su Zhenglong and his family as spies of the War Soul Dynasty and had them arrested, while Sui Wenzhan rode to seek help. Sikong Jing and Ning Jingjing arrived at the Eternal Night Wolf Guard camp, where the guards had regained human form.
Sikong Jing learned that the Imperial City Guards had arrested Su Zhenglong, Aunt Su, and Su Yuexian as alleged spies, and realized Yan Ruyu and Ji Ming were targeting him. As a public interrogation in the capital named Ning Jingjing and the Su family as spies, Sikong Jing led the Eternal Night Wolf Guard to intervene while Ning Jingjing mobilized the Sixty-Sixth Legion.
Ji Ming and Peng Likui publicly accused Su Zhenglong, Su Yuexian, and Mei Xiaofang of spying, using a collaborator and letters as evidence. After Yan Ruyu pushed the crowd to demand Sikong Jing’s arrest, Ji Ming agreed to pursue him, but learned that Beigong Xianfeng had already entered the palace to seek the Emperor’s intervention.
Sikong Jing arrived at the execution ground just in time to save Su Zhenglong and the other two from execution. He killed the Punishment Enforcement Office forces and struck down Peng Likui, then declared that Peng Likui would die for ordering his in-laws killed.
Sikong Jing killed Peng Likui after Su Zhenglong and Su Yuexian rescued Mei Xiaofang from Chi Hang, then sent his family away while remaining surrounded by Ji Ming’s forces. Yan Ruyu urged Ji Ming to challenge Sikong Jing to a fight to the death, hoping to kill him without provoking the Long Night Holy Dragon Palace.
Sikong Jing refused Ji Ming’s staged duel and revealed the seven hundred-strong Eternal Night Wolf Guard he had been waiting for. He ordered them to kill Ji Ming’s Seven Wolf Guards, and Lian Guang led a devastating charge that sent Ji Ming’s force fleeing.
Lian Guang and the Eternal Night Wolf Guard wiped out Ji Ming’s Seven Wolf Guards, and Ji Ming killed Chi Hang to silence him before trying to attack Sikong Jing. Sikong Jing ordered Ji Ming and Yan Ruyu seized, but Imperial City Guard commander Huang Yu intervened and demanded that the matter end.
Sikong Jing refused to retreat when Huang Yu mobilized the Imperial Guards, and Ning Jingjing arrived with the Sixty-Sixth Legion to fight them. While the legion scattered the Imperial Guards, Sikong Jing captured Ji Ming and raised him on a spear before Huang Yu.
Sikong Jing held Ji Ming at spearpoint while demanding justice, but rushed to the Long Night Holy Dragon Palace after learning Mo Ci was threatening it. Beigong Xianfeng arrived too late to stop Sikong Jing’s departure and confronted the people who had framed him, only for a spy to die under threat.
Yan Ruyu helped Ji Ming conceal evidence against Beigong Xianfeng as the Worry-Forget Sect threatened the Long Night Holy Dragon Palace to force Sikong Jing to appear. Just as Mo Ci prepared to kill Qin Heng, Su Yuexi arrived and declared herself Sikong Jing’s wife.
Su Yuexi confronted Mo Ci to protect Sikong Jing and revealed that she knew his connection to Wang Ge and the weakness of the Supreme Emotionless Art. She threatened to expose both Sikong Jing’s identity and Mo Ci’s role in his death, leaving Mo Ci furious and unable to kill her without risking Sikong Ling learning the truth.
Mo Ci captured Su Yuexi and threatened the Long Night Holy Dragon Palace, while Qin Heng and the others considered seeking help from the Worry-Forget Sect’s Young Sect Master. Shen Qingye returned, learned the war body had been taken, and fought Mo Ci with the Seven Evolution Divine Dragon as Tan Yue was summoned for backup.
Tan Yue and Sikong Jing joined the desperate defense of the Long Night Holy Dragon Palace after Mo Ci stole its battle body, but Mo Ci turned the confrontation into a demand for Sikong Jing to surrender. Sikong Jing boarded her ship to protect the palace and Su Yuexi, while Shen Qingye and Tan Yue learned that the supposedly rootless youth had become a peerless martial arts genius.
Mo Ci tried to force Sikong Jing to cripple himself and return to the Worry-Forget Sect, but Su Yuexi revealed she had never sent anyone to spread the news and helped expose their deception. Sikong Jing escaped Mo Ci’s ship and reunited with Su Yuexi, while Mo Ci unleashed her fury on the Long Night Holy Dragon Palace.
Sikong Jing gave Tan Yue the Six-Elephant Dragon Sword and Shen Qingye a Universe-grade sword art, allowing them to join the fight against Mo Ci. He then began using his demonic blood to evolve the wounded Seven Evolution Divine Dragon into a Seven-Elephant Heavenly Dragon.
