Sikong Jing connected Black Demon to the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation and speculated that Black Demon had stolen the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Prison and left descendants among the demonized humans or Cangyu Sect. After discussing the mystery with the beasts, Sikong Jing returned from receiving his inheritance, and Elder Bu Tun demanded that the demonfolk hand over what they had received.

• Sikong Jing told the Two-Horned War Demon Tiger that Black Demon was likely the master of the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation and had stolen the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Prison and the former Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' bloodline from the Five Heavenly Emperors.
• Sikong Jing explained that the Pure Spirit Seven Hearts Method and Demonic Path Sevenfold Body led him to believe Black Demon had survived, grown beyond the Divine Martial Stage, and arranged matters in the Desolate Sea Forbidden Land.

• Sikong Jing announced that he had finished receiving the inheritance, and Elder Ruan rushed over to welcome him.
• Elder Bu Tun told the demonfolk who had received inheritances to hand them over and produced a door-shaped treasure.

Sikong Jing passed through the Inheritance Memory Gate, which recorded his fourth inherited cultivation method as a powerful Green Jade Stone Brick. Elder Bu Tun ranked the inheritance among the top three in demon history and ordered Elder Ruan to place a Spirit Martial Lock on Sikong Jing, then left to report the inheritance to the Sect Master.

• Elder Bu Tun had the talented demons pass through the Inheritance Memory Gate, collecting a Green Jade Tube for each inheritance.
• When Sikong Jing passed through the gate, it produced a Green Jade Stone Brick, and Bu Tun declared that its unprecedented inheritance ranked among the top three in demon history.
• Bu Tun ordered Elder Ruan to place a Spirit Martial Lock on Sikong Jing, limiting his cultivation to the peak of the Spirit Martial Stage until the lock was removed.
• Sikong Jing accepted the lock while concealing that the brick recorded only his fourth inherited cultivation method, not his three secret methods for entering demonic cultivation.
• Bu Tun ended the ceremony, sent the group toward the center of Gods and Devils Island, and departed to take Sikong Jing's inheritance to the Cangyu Sect's Sect Master.

Sikong Jing secured exemptions for all ten sacrifices from Demon-Scale Island by impressing Elder Ruan with his supposedly mysterious inheritance. During the journey inward, he privately revealed to Zhan Hu that he had received a divine-grade cultivation method that could let demonkin return to human form.

• Elder Ruan and the other elders questioned Sikong Jing about his inheritance, but he claimed he could not understand it until reaching the Emperor Martial Stage.
• Elder Ruan offered Sikong Jing a reward, and Sikong Jing asked that all ten sacrifices from Demon-Scale Island be exempted; Elder Ruan granted the request.
• The group continued toward the island’s center and stopped for an hour of rest as the oppressive aura grew stronger.
• Sikong Jing told Zhan Hu that his inheritance included the lower-tier divine-grade Demonic Battle Heaven-Constant Art, a cultivation method for demonkin.
• Sikong Jing revealed that the method could help demonkin shed their demonic bodies and return to true human form, leaving Zhan Hu trembling in disbelief.

Sikong Jing revealed that the Demonic Battle Heaven-Constant Art could help demonfolk shed their demon forms and might threaten the martial locks imposed by Cangyu Sect. He reached the central prison with the procession and asked Elder Ruan for permission to enter, but Elder Ruan refused.

• Sikong Jing explained to Zhan Hu that Black Demon's inheritance could restore demonfolk to human form, and that the art was unfinished because Black Demon had died before testing it.
• Sikong Jing said the art could shake the Spirit Martial Lock and planned to enter the prison, while promising to inscribe the first half of the art for Zhan Hu to hide.
• Sikong Jing told Zhan Hu that he had been at the Emperor Martial Stage before cultivating anew, leaving Zhan Hu astonished.
• The procession reached the wall surrounding the central prison, and the demonfolk entered through its gates to work.
• Sikong Jing asked Elder Ruan if he could enter the prison to look around, and Elder Ruan refused.

Sikong Jing was denied entry to the prison until Elder Bu Tun returned, but the arrival of prisoners Ying Sanmeng and Teng Yue changed the situation. When Teng Yue used the Tyrant Soul Army-Slaying Formation, Sikong Jing recognized the formation as a familiar one.

• Elder Ruan refused to let Sikong Jing enter the prison until Elder Bu Tun returned, despite Zhan Hu's pleas.
• Fifth Sect Master Chai Ren arrived with shackled prisoners Ying Sanmeng, master of the Cosmic Vein, and Teng Yue, its strongest disciple, and ordered them registered and imprisoned.

• A young Emperor Martial Stage man attacked Teng Yue, who activated Forced Troop Control and linked the nearby demon people to his formation.
• Sikong Jing recognized Teng Yue's army-slaying formation as the Tyrant Soul Army-Slaying Formation.

Sikong Jing recognized Teng Yue’s Tyrant Soul Army-Slaying Formation and secretly used the same formation to help Teng Yue join Ying Sanmeng in prison. The two crashed through the prison gates, while Sikong Jing stayed behind to hold off Chai Ren.

• Teng Yue used the Tyrant Soul Army-Slaying Formation to nearly kill Junior Brother Bian, but Chai Ren broke up the formation and saved him.
• Teng Yue and Ying Sanmeng continued toward the prison despite Chai Ren’s warnings and the Chai-surnamed woman’s demands to keep Teng Yue.
• Sikong Jing realized Teng Yue might be descended from the Tyrant Soul Venerable and decided to help him enter the prison.
• Chai Ren tried to pull Teng Yue away, but Sikong Jing secretly linked his own formation with Teng Yue’s and told him to go inside.
• Teng Yue used the force of Sikong Jing’s formation to break free and charge into the prison with Ying Sanmeng.

Sikong Jing helped Teng Yue enter the prison gate, then provoked Junior Brother Bian into striking him so he could enter as well. Chai Ren learned that the supposedly dead black-scaled demon had obtained an unparalleled inheritance, one the First Sect Master was expected to take seriously.

• The Tyrant Soul Army-Slaying Formation shattered, allowing Teng Yue and his companion to pass through the prison gate as Chai Ren and the others watched in confusion.
• Sikong Jing laughed at Junior Brother Bian, who charged at him despite Elder Ruan’s attempt to intervene.

• Zhan Hu realized Sikong Jing had deliberately provoked Junior Brother Bian to enter the prison without causing further trouble.
• Bu Tun’s disciple warned Chai Ren that the Black-Scaled demon could not be killed and explained that he had obtained an unparalleled inheritance that Bu Tun had taken to the First Sect Master.

After learning that Black Scale possessed an extraordinary demonic inheritance tied to the secret of Gods and Devils Island, Chai Ren rushed off to beg the Grand Sect Master for forgiveness, while Bu Tun punished Junior Brother Bian. Black Scale remained missing inside the prison’s sealed inner section, leaving the Cangyu Sect unable to confirm whether he was alive.

• Bu Tun returned and revealed that the Grand Sect Master had ordered him to bring Black Scale back for a bloodline test because of his exceptionally pure bloodline and possible connection to the center of Gods and Devils Island.
• Chai Ren slapped Junior Brother Bian, left him to Bu Tun, and hurried away with the old man and his granddaughter to beg the Grand Sect Master for forgiveness.

• Zhan Hu and other powerful demons searched the prison but could find neither Black Scale nor his corpse, since he had been blasted into the sealed inner section.
• Elder Ruan defended his accomplishments to Elder Liu, then complained to Zhan Hu that Black Scale’s laughter had caused the trouble.

Teng Yue entered the prison with Ying Sanmeng to find Sikong Jing, whom he suspected was connected to his grandfather Teng and the Tyrant Soul Army-Slaying Formation. Sikong Jing had survived Bian’s strike and ended up injured outside a dark palace, while Teng Yue faced a group of prisoners.

• Elder Ruan blamed Zhan Hu for Black Scale’s peril and left hoping he had survived; Zhan Hu comforted Yinlu and vowed to remain with the sacrifices.
• Teng Yue learned about Sikong Jing from the demons escorting him and concluded that Grandpa Teng might have accepted him as a disciple or passed on the Tyrant Soul Army-Slaying Formation.

• Teng Yue drew a sword from the sand and attacked the prisoners after one mocked him about Sikong Jing.
• Sikong Jing spat blood and rose seriously injured before the gates of a dark palace, realizing he was not in the prison.

Sikong Jing entered a gloomy palace at the heart of the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation and discovered that its guardians recognized him as the new generation's Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts. The demonic puppets led him inside to find the remains of a devastating battle, while Black Demon's whereabouts remained unknown.

• Sikong Jing realized the barrier had spatially teleported him to the palace, where he recognized the black fish that had carried him through the sea.
• Six armored demonic puppets emerged and greeted Sikong Jing as the new generation's Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.
• The intact puppet explained that Black Demon had forged them to guard the Lord and the Gods and Devils Island sea region, but they could not reveal more about their origins or orders.
• Sikong Jing deduced that the puppets had found him at the Thousand Kings Holy Tower and guided him to Demon-Scale Island using the black fish.
• The puppets invited Sikong Jing to find Black Demon and led him into the palace, where he saw shattered remains of demonic puppets and realized that only six guardians survived.

Sikong Jing entered the palace and found the long-dead Black Demon, whose memory showed how he tried to preserve the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts’ legacy. The memory ended with Black Demon revealing his original name, Ying Yu, after successfully creating a new inheritance from the Lord’s remains.

• Sikong Jing recognized the dead elder as Black Demon and bowed before the barrier holding his body.
• The bow drew Sikong Jing into a memory left by Black Demon, where Black Demon entrusted the Pure Spirit Heart to the Two-Horned War Demon Tiger before seeking the Heaven-Swallowing Tiger King.
• Black Demon reached the Divine Martial Stage but arrived too late to help the previous Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts in the ultimate battlefield.
• Black Demon found a remnant claw of the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and escaped with it before the Five Heavenly Emperors’ subordinates could catch him.
• Black Demon gathered the Lord’s remaining spiritual shadows into the claw-bone and, after three hundred years, succeeded in creating a new inheritance.
• Black Demon knelt before the claw-bone and revealed that he was the Heaven-Swallowing Tiger Emperor’s human subordinate, originally named Ying Yu.

Sikong Jing watched Black Demon’s memories and learned how the blood bead made him the new Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, and how Black Demon founded the Cangyu Demon Sect. The memories ended with Black Demon promising to create a Demon-Reverting Great Art for Demon War, the master of the declining Demon Vein.

• Black Demon gathered the Previous Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts’ lingering spirit and forged the blood bead that later changed Sikong Jing’s fate.
• Black Demon proposed choosing a human as the next Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, and the Previous Lord agreed to support him.
• Black Demon returned to his descendants in the Gods and Devils Island Sea, then established the Cang Vein, Cosmic Vein, and Demon Vein as the Cangyu Demon Sect.
• Black Demon began his seclusion, testing candidates for the inheritance and constructing the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation.
• Black Demon admitted that Demon War and the Demon Vein had suffered because of his experiments and the other veins’ rejection.
• Black Demon entered the palace and vowed to create the Demon-Reverting Great Art so Demon War could return to human form.

Sikong Jing watched Black Demon’s memories reveal Cang Lang’s betrayal and the battle that devastated Gods and Devils Island. As Black Demon tried to activate the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation, a mysterious seven-colored phantom seized the skeletal claw needed to start it.

• The masters of the Cang and Cosmic Veins warned Black Demon that the Boundless Sea’s major sects had come to attack over the demonfolk.
• Cang Lang stabbed the master of the Cosmic Vein and revealed he had invited the major sects to help him seize control of the Cangyu Demon Sect.
• Cang Lang used the Flame Prison Divine Puppet Bell to pit the Flame Prison divine puppets against Black Demon’s demonic puppets as battle erupted across Gods and Devils Island.
• Wounded, Black Demon returned to the palace and resolved to activate the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation to finish the Demonic Battle Heaven-Constant Art.
• A seven-colored phantom snatched the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts’ skeletal claw just before Black Demon could press it to the formation’s pillar, then identified the remains.

Sikong Jing witnessed Black Demon’s memory of meeting a mysterious figure who gave him the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Prison and advised him how to hide the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts’ inheritance from the Five Heavenly Emperors. Black Demon followed her plan, and the chapter ended with the Flame Prison Heavenly Emperor inspecting the damaged formation and leaving without discovering the surviving bloodline.

• A mysterious woman in seven-colored light gave Black Demon the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Prison and explained that the Five Heavenly Emperors had imprisoned the vicious beasts within it.
• The woman warned Black Demon that his powerful Desolate Sea Absolute Formation would draw the Five Heavenly Emperors’ attention and proposed weakening it while concealing the prison and the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts’ aura.
• Black Demon accepted her plan, damaged the formation’s core, retrieved a claw bone from the woman, and activated the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation.
• Black Demon and his forces fought the invading Boundless Sea experts, and every attacker, including Cang Lang, died in the formation.
• The Flame Prison Heavenly Emperor inspected the damaged formation, reclaimed the Flame Prison Divine Puppet Bell, and departed without discovering the surviving bloodline.

Sikong Jing witnessed Black Demon’s final arrangements to find the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and guide the demonfolk’s future. Before Black Demon died, the seven-colored shadow revealed that she was the King of Night Charms, leaving Sikong Jing stunned.

• Black Demon told Demonic Battle and Ying Beitong about the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts’ inheritance and enlisted them to set up barriers and formations on Gods and Devils Island.
• Black Demon instructed Demonic Battle to continue his unfinished art and pass down four inheritances to a worthy inheritor, while Ying Beitong established an inheritance for the Cosmic Vein.
• The seven-colored shadow persuaded Black Demon to let the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts’ instincts choose an inheritor of any race, and Black Demon removed restrictions on the inheritance except that it could not leave the Desolate Sea Forbidden Land.
• Black Demon empowered six demon puppets to guard Gods and Devils Island and guide the next Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts to him.
• The seven-colored shadow identified herself as the King of Night Charms, shocking Sikong Jing.

Sikong Jing witnessed Black Demon's final memories, learned that the King of Night Charms had stolen the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Prison to challenge the next Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, and accepted his role as the chosen successor. He discovered Black Demon's warnings and repair instructions for the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation, then found a claw of the Previous Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' skeletal remains and saw its meridians emerge.

• Black Demon's spirit shadow faded after leaving a memory illusion for the new Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, and Sikong Jing bowed to his corpse and told the beasts what he had witnessed.
• The Divine Turtle explained that the King of Night Charms had always contested the Previous Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, while the Flying Cloud Colorful Butterfly said Night Charms had entered reincarnation to challenge the next Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.
• The beasts joked that they might submit to Night Charms if Sikong Jing proved inadequate, and Sikong Jing welcomed the challenge and wondered where she was and when she would awaken.
• Sikong Jing realized the Previous Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' instinct had chosen him, then read Black Demon's instructions warning him not to fully restore the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation and explaining its control requirements and repair materials.
• Sikong Jing found the Previous Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' skeletal claw in the innermost room and saw its complex meridians emerge when he enveloped it with his consciousness.

Sikong Jing used the claw of the Previous Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts to repair and advance his beast meridians while balancing them against his human meridians. After reaching the Spirit Martial Stage peak, he chose not to break the Spirit Martial Lock yet, weighing the risks to Yinlu and the others and planning to wait for Zhan Hu to reach the Saint Martial Stage.

• The claw’s meridians awakened Sikong Jing’s damaged beast meridians and dantian, allowing him to repair them and imprint the claw’s meridians into his right hand.
• Sikong Jing suppressed his beast cultivation to keep it from destroying his human meridians, then used human-form and beast-form spirit shadows to balance the two systems.
• Both spirit shadows reached the Venerable Realm, and Sikong Jing raised both kinds of meridians to the Heavenly King Realm of the Spirit Martial Stage.
• The Spirit Martial Lock suppressed Sikong Jing as he prepared to advance, and he decided not to break it because Cangyu Sect might learn he was alive and endanger Yinlu and the others.
• Sikong Jing planned to wait until the Absolute Formation Gate closed and considered relying on Senior Zhan Hu to reach the Saint Martial Stage and take him through the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation.
• Sikong Jing recalled that the demon puppets could not leave Gods and Devils Island freely and would obey him only at its center unless he reached the Divine Martial Stage.

Sikong Jing learned that the demonic puppets would not obey him until he reached the Divine Martial Stage, so he set out to find Ying Sanmeng and Teng Yue and learn about the Cangyu Sect. He found Teng Yue fighting prisoners and realized the Cangyu Sect had imprisoned him because he was a disciple of the Cosmic Vein.

• Sikong Jing realized Black Demon's rules kept the demonic puppets from obeying him and decided to seek Ying Sanmeng and Teng Yue.
• Sikong Jing ordered an intact demonic puppet to take him to the two newcomers in the prison at the center of Gods and Devils Island.
• Sikong Jing saw Cangyu Sect loyalists forcing prisoners to collect Gods and Devils Crystals and observed that prisoners fought among themselves.
• Teng Yue defeated a Saint Martial Stage prisoner while fighting off more than a dozen others.
• Teng Yue told the defeated prisoner that he belonged to the Cangyu Sect, and Sikong Jing recognized that the sect had imprisoned him because he was a Cosmic Vein disciple.

Sikong Jing learned that the Cang Vein was suppressing the Cosmic Vein and watched as Chai Gong arrived to search for the missing Black Scale demon man. He revealed himself on a distant hill, leaving Chai Gong, Ying Sanmeng, and Teng Yue stunned.

• Sikong Jing deduced that the Cang Vein had imprisoned Ying Sanmeng and was suppressing the Cosmic Vein.
• Teng Yue questioned the blood-qi middle-aged man, who insisted that he and the other prisoners had not seen the Black Scale demon man.
• Chai Gong arrived on the Great Sect Master's orders to find the Black Scale demon man and questioned Ying Sanmeng and the prisoners.
• Chai Gong decided to search the prison after hearing that the Black Scale demon man might be connected to a great secret.
• Sikong Jing appeared atop a distant hill and asked whether they were looking for him.

Sikong Jing tried to leave the prison while Chai Gong prepared to hand him over to Cangyu Sect, but he secretly commanded the Demonic Puppet Guardian to intervene. The puppet took Teng Yue and Ying Sanmeng away under the pretense of a Cosmic Vein inheritance, rescuing them as Sikong Jing remained in Chai Gong’s grasp.

• Sikong Jing dismissed questions about his strange condition, and Chai Gong ordered him out of the prison.
• Teng Yue and Ying Sanmeng warned Sikong Jing that Cangyu Sect would endanger him, but Chai Gong dismissed their objections and seized him.
• Teng Yue blocked Chai Gong and tried to speak with Sikong Jing, but Chai Gong shattered his sword radiance and prepared to throw Sikong Jing over the prison wall.
• Sikong Jing pointed out a giant in the sky, and the Demonic Puppet Guardian descended into view.
• The Demonic Puppet Guardian declared Teng Yue and Ying Sanmeng qualified to attempt the first master of the Cosmic Vein’s inheritance, then carried them away at Sikong Jing’s command.

Sikong Jing persuaded Chai Gong to take him through a spatial transmission to the Cangyu Sect, while the demonic puppet delivered Ying Sanmeng and Teng Yue to a chance at the first master of the Cosmic Vein’s inheritance. Ying Sanmeng resolved to pursue it, and Teng Yue worried that Sikong Jing would not survive.

• Chai Gong reported the inheritance news to the Cangyu Sect’s Grand Sect Master and took Sikong Jing with him to a spatial transmission formation.
• A prisoner recognized that the upheaval might give them a chance to escape the prison.
• Chai Gong and Sikong Jing entered the formation and vanished into the spatial passage.
• The demonic puppet brought Ying Sanmeng and Teng Yue to a canyon where they could attempt the inheritance, then left to stop someone escaping through spatial teleportation.
• Ying Sanmeng vowed to obtain the inheritance, while Teng Yue wondered whether Sikong Jing was truly Grandpa Teng’s demon disciple and feared he might be dead.

Chai Jiu and the Cangyu Sect’s leaders waited anxiously for Chai Gong to return from Gods and Devils Island, fearing that Sikong Jing had reached its secrets. Chai Gong revealed that the Demon Puppet had taken Ying Sanmeng and Teng Yue, and the leaders realized the Cosmic Vein might be able to rise against them.

• Ying Sanmeng and Teng Yue headed deeper into the canyon, hoping to obtain the first-generation master’s Cosmic Vein inheritance and escape the prison.
• Chai Jiu warned Chai Ren that he would be punished if the Black Scale demon man died, and said Chai Gong had urgently requested another summoning.
• Elder Bu Tun brought the injured Junior Brother Bian before Chai Jiu, who threatened to send him to the Cang Blood-Refining Pool if anything went wrong.
• Chai Gong emerged from the teleportation formation with Sikong Jing, prompting Chai Jiu to question why he had summoned the sect leaders.
• Chai Gong knelt and revealed that the Demon Puppet had taken Ying Sanmeng and Teng Yue, causing the Cangyu leaders to erupt in alarm over the Cosmic Vein’s possible resurgence.
