Su Yuexi learned that Liu An had gone to kill Sikong Jing, while Liu Shitian threatened her family to keep her obedient. The chapter ended with Liu An’s life lamp shattering, and Su Yuexi suggesting that the Bloodforged Patriarch had killed him.
Sikong Jing’s plan to frame Willow Leaf Holy Manor for the Blood-colored Demon Dragon’s death succeeded, provoking the Bloodforged Patriarch into fighting Liu Shitian and Ye Wukui. As Sikong Jing approached Su Yuexi’s group, the Bloodforged Patriarch broke away from the battle and charged toward them.
Sikong Jing secretly used the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' essence blood to draw demonic beasts into attacking Bloodforged Patriarch and save Su Yuexi and Willow Leaf Holy Manor. After Bloodforged Patriarch escaped and Jade Armor claimed to have swallowed divine beast essence blood, Ye Wukui led the wounded group toward the Northern Mountains.
Sikong Jing tracked down the badly wounded Bloodforged Patriarch to stop him from threatening the Azure Dragon Small Domain. After testing Bloodforged Patriarch’s injuries, Sikong Jing faced his warning that a desperate counterattack could still destroy him.
Sikong Jing rejected Bloodforged Patriarch’s offers and revealed that he had orchestrated the patriarch’s injuries and the death of his demonic dragon. He killed Bloodforged Patriarch with the Blood Devour Demon Claw, surviving the patriarch’s attack on his spiritual platform consciousness sea.
After killing the Bloodforged Patriarch, Sikong Jing claimed the Blood Devour Dragon Pearl and used the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Prison to overcome the patriarch’s attempt to possess him. He fled after covering his tracks and learned that the pearl contained powerful techniques he could not yet use, leaving him focused on the Ten Dragon Codex.
Sikong Jing returned to Yun Province City after killing Bloodforged Patriarch, then hurried to Xiaosang Town to rescue Sikong Ling from the mysterious cave in their childhood home. He found her safe inside a strange pocket space, and they began to question what their parents had left behind.
Sikong Jing and Sikong Ling discovered that a wounded old man had secretly trapped them inside their parents’ Spirit Essence Mini-Realm. After Sikong Jing revealed that he had killed the Bloodforged Patriarch, he named the Willow Leaf Holy Manor, provoking a fierce reaction from the old man, while Sikong Ling noticed that Sikong Jing’s left hand had vanished again.
Sikong Jing discovered that the hunted Su Old Devil was Su Yuexi’s grandfather and revealed his identity to him. Su Old Devil learned that Wu Yan had died and asked how she had died.
Sikong Jing told Su Old Devil how Willow Leaf Holy Manor had targeted his descendants, prompting Su Old Devil to reveal how his pride and pursuit of recognition had led to Wu Yan’s suffering and his family’s persecution. He explained how he became branded a devil after defeating Pei Kuang and left Wu Yan waiting in the Azure Dragon Small Domain, believing he would return within ten years.
Su Old Devil recounted his past and urged Sikong Jing to fight for Su Yuexi, then revealed the Qianyuan Battle-Killing Diagrams and tested Sikong Jing’s talent for warfare. Sikong Jing touched the first diagram and was overwhelmed by its battlefield visions, unable to understand them.
Sikong Jing distinguished Su Old Devil’s genuine and replica Qianyuan battle-killing diagrams, then proved that the replica’s formations were stronger. Su Old Devil recognized Sikong Jing’s instinctive talent for battle formations and gave him the replica to study.
Su Old Devil prepared to draw the Central Plains factions toward the Northern Mountains and left Sikong Jing and Sikong Ling letters from their parents. Sikong Ling’s letter opened with her blood, while Sikong Jing’s did not, leaving him stunned and unsure why.
Sikong Jing and Sikong Ling read their parents’ letter, learning that their parents were Saint Martial experts who had left to protect them and that a second letter awaited them at the Spirit Martial Stage. As the Spirit Essence Mini-Realm began to collapse, the siblings cultivated inside it, while experts from major Central Plains powers gathered at the Glacier Forbidden Land.
The major factions chased Su Old Devil into the Glacial Plains, only to discover that he had left behind a war puppet decoy and then turn on Willow Leaf Holy Manor to seize Su Zhenglong. Two days later, Sikong Ling reached the fifth Extraordinary Realm while Sikong Jing secretly concealed that he had already reached its peak.
Sikong Ling left Sikong Jing to continue mastering the first level of the battle-killing formation, but found Great Shang soldiers waiting outside Sikong Manor. Their leader brought Wang Qing, who revealed that she had survived and returned to take revenge on Sikong Ling.
Sikong Ling fought Wangqing in Xiaosang Town and defeated her despite Wangqing’s higher realm. Wangqing then revealed that Sikong Jing was alive and had joined the Black Burn Army, leaving Sikong Ling shocked as Sikong Jing watched from the mansion walls.
Sikong Jing and Sikong Ling reunited in Xiaosang Town and beat Wang Qing after she tried to provoke Sikong Ling with news about her brother. Wang Qing revealed that Yuwen Guan had invaded Yun Province with the Army-Slaying Formation, leaving Sikong Jing facing a new crisis.
Sikong Jing learned that Yuwen Guan had obtained a battle-killing formation and took Wang Qing captive as he hurried back to Yun Province to test his own Qianyuan Battle-Killing Diagram. Meanwhile, Liu Shitian’s group cornered Su Yuexi’s family in the Glacial Plains until Azure Dragon appeared and declared that anyone who bullied his granddaughter would die.
Su Beiheng returned to protect Su Zhenglong’s family and fought the gathered major powers in the Northern Mountains. After the battle, he asked Su Yuexi to call him Grandfather, and she paid her respects after learning Jing Gege had already acknowledged him.
Su Old Devil gave Su Zhenglong the largest piece of the Qianyuan Battle-Killing Diagram, scattered the rest, and left while rival factions pursued him. The story then shifted to Yun Province City, where Yuwen Guan’s army surrounded the city and demanded Sikong Jing appear.
Yuwen Guan led his ten-million-strong army toward Yun Province City, threatening to massacre its people, until Sikong Jing arrived and stopped the charge. Sikong Jing revealed that Yan Ruyu was dead and Wang Qing was captured, but Yuwen Guan refused to withdraw, leaving the confrontation unresolved.
Sikong Jing faced Yuwen Guan’s massive army with fewer than a million Yun Province warriors and formed his own battle-killing formation. As the two formations clashed, Sikong Jing kept experimenting with new forms, leaving everyone to wonder whether he was holding back.
Sikong Jing used the Yun Province army to defeat Yuwen Guan and the ten million Great Shang troops, then rushed to Su Mansion after realizing Su Old Devil had returned. He found Su Old Devil at Ye Wuyan’s grave, holding her perfectly preserved corpse.
Su Old Devil sealed Sikong Jing away and died beside Ye Wuyan, leaving behind a Saint Martial Stage sword formation and a tombstone. The formation repelled Liu Shitian’s attacks, while sword lights spread across the Azure Dragon Small Domain for an unknown purpose.
