Chapter Summaries

Sikong Jing returned from the Void Rift World and struggled to suppress the void energy, Blood Devour Magic Beast attributes, and the awakening Nine Heavens Imperial Bloodline within him. After glimpsing the Nine Heavens Emperor’s past battle and sword strike, he sought advice from the beasts on handling the void energy.

• Sikong Jing returned to the Boundless Sea and directed the volatile void energy into his beast-vein dantian while resisting its demonic influence.
• Sikong Jing saw the Nine Heavens Emperor weaken the Blood Devour Magic Beast by cutting away some of its power and scattering it through the Void Rift World.
• Sikong Jing realized the Nine Heavens Emperor’s words, “Never give up,” helped him resist demonization, and inferred how the void energy had reached him.
• Sikong Jing’s Nine Heavens Imperial Bloodline began breaking free of the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Bloodline’s suppression, so he absorbed Heaven-Soaring Blood Essence while adapting his dantian and studying the Nine Heavens One Sword.
• Sikong Jing entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Prison, where the beasts told him void energy was harmless to those below the Super Divine Martial realm and could be released and condensed into void crystals.

Sikong Jing absorbed the Heavenly Emperor-level powers and broke through to the God King Realm, then planned to draw Ling Dongwei out of the Void Rift World. As Sikong Jing stirred the Evil Crescent River, Ling Dongwei noticed the Divine Flood Dragon’s corpse trembling.

• Sikong Jing absorbed the Heaven-Soaring Emperor’s blood essence and void energy, breaking through to the God King Realm while his Human-Form Spirit Shadow advanced to the Divine Venerable Realm.

• Ling Dongwei approached the Void Rift World’s exit, threatened the Crescent Moon Lineage, and turned back after noticing that the Divine Flood Dragon’s corpse was trembling.

Sikong Jing delayed Ling Dongwei in Evil Crescent River while Luo Guangmang used the uncertainty to discourage Ling Zhisui from attacking the Crescent Moon Lineage. Sikong Jing then emerged at the river’s fountain opening, claimed Ling Dongwei was trapped inside, and drew Old Madam Ling and the others into a violent attack that shook the river.

• Luo Guangmang learned from Ling Zhisui’s replies that Ling Dongwei had not yet left Evil Crescent River, then used warnings about Ling Jianxing’s future power to deter the Straight Wind Lineage from killing the Crescent Moon Lineage.
• Ling Zhixin escaped the forbidden land on Crescent Moon Wasteland and raced toward Crescent Moon Town, estimating that the journey would take three or four days.

• Xiao Lai attacked Sikong Jing with Super Divine Martial true qi and trapped him in a cage.

Sikong Jing fought Xiao Lai and killed the Super Divine Martial cultivator by merging the Nine Heavens Emperor’s sword strike into the Heaven-Soaring Nine Swords. He left Xiao Lai’s fleeing subordinates trapped and demanded to know when the family head would send someone to protect him.

• Sikong Jing stood disguised as a small demon beast in an ancient forest on Crescent Moon Continent while the Mysterious Xiao Sect Master and Emperor Ling Tian experts talked above him.

Ling Dongwei ordered the Blood Demon Grand Formation built across Crescent Moon Continent to force Ling Jianxing out, threatening the lives of its inhabitants. Hidden in Evil Crescent River, Sikong Jing resolved to counter with a Magic Beast Grand Formation and began connecting his Blood Devour Magic Beast aura to the shattered inner core in the flood dragon's corpse.

• Ling Dongwei emerged from Evil Crescent River and ordered Old Madam Ling and the others to construct the Blood Demon Grand Formation across Crescent Moon Continent.
• Old Madam Ling supported Ling Dongwei, and he threatened anyone who objected before ordering his troops to return beyond the Crescent Moon Grand Formation and inspect everyone for Ling Jianxing in disguise.
• As the formation took shape, Ling Dongwei blamed Ling Jianxing for the impending deaths, while people across the continent pleaded for help or condemned Ling Dongwei.
• Sikong Jing watched from Evil Crescent River and decided to answer the Blood Demon Grand Formation with a Magic Beast Grand Formation.
• Sikong Jing sat cross-legged and let the Blood Devour Magic Beast's aura flow through his breathing, connecting with the shattered inner core in the flood dragon's corpse.

Sikong Jing used the Evil Crescent River to spread Blood Devour Magic Beast blood qi across the Crescent Moon Continent, demonizing its magic beasts while restraining them. As Ling Dongwei neared completion of the Blood Demon Grand Formation, Sikong Jing revealed himself to be in the Evil Crescent River, and Ling Dongwei ordered his forces to pursue him.

• Sikong Jing merged with the Divine Flood Dragon's soul siphon and sent a thread of Blood Devour Magic Beast blood qi through the Evil Crescent River across the continent.
• Magic beasts absorbed the blood qi and began demonizing, but Sikong Jing's will restrained them from reacting while Ling Dongwei's people built the Blood Demon Grand Formation.
• An expert sent by the family head ordered Ling Dongwei to stop and keep Ling Jianxing alive, but Ling Dongwei ignored him and continued the formation.
• Nearly a day later, Sikong Jing told the strongest demon beast to wait at the Evil Crescent River's entrance for his command.
• Sikong Jing asked whether the formation would be lifted if he came out, and Ling Dongwei said it would not, then ordered his forces to follow him into the Evil Crescent River.

Sikong Jing made Crescent Moon Continent’s demon beasts enter demonization and ordered them to devour the energy of Evil Crescent River. Their combined feeding unleashed the river’s soul-siphoning force across the continent, and Ling Dongwei feared they would destroy the river.

• Sikong Jing entered the demonized Divine Martial Stage beast’s Spirit Platform consciousness sea and used it to command demon beasts across Crescent Moon Continent to enter demonization.

• The demon beasts across the continent devoured the river’s energy, diverting its soul-siphoning force into countless streams.
• Ling Dongwei demanded that Sikong Jing stop the demon beasts before they destroyed Evil Crescent River.

Sikong Jing used the beasts’ demonic transformation to make them devour Evil Crescent River, exploiting Ling Dongwei’s fear of losing it and throwing Crescent Moon Continent into chaos. As Ling Dongwei rushed to contain the crisis, Sikong Jing escaped from Evil Crescent River.

• Sikong Jing revealed that he had incited the beasts to become Blood Devour Magic Beasts so they could devour Evil Crescent River and pressure Ling Dongwei.
• Ling Dongwei sealed Evil Crescent River’s exits, but the resulting pressure caused its mountain range to rupture and its power to erupt in streams that the beasts devoured.
• Sikong Jing ordered the beasts to attack the sealing grand formation, and they tore a gap through which demonic energy spread to Ling Dongwei’s beast mounts.
• Sikong Jing’s vicious beast will drove many mounts below the Super Divine Martial realm into Crescent Moon Continent, where they underwent demonic corruption and joined the devouring.
• Ling Dongwei refused to withdraw the Blood Demon Grand Formation despite Sikong Jing’s warning that Evil Crescent River might be drained and explode.
• As Ling Dongwei neared Evil Crescent River, Sikong Jing used its erupting current to break through Ling Dongwei’s barrier and flee with Crescent Moon’s strongest demon beast.

Sikong Jing tried to force Ling Dongwei to abandon the Blood Demon Grand Formation by stirring resistance and unleashing demon beasts across Crescent Moon Continent. Ling Dongwei’s own subordinates secretly let demon beast mounts break through the sealing formations, worsening the Evil Crescent River eruptions and leaving Sikong Jing to recognize the backlash against Ling Dongwei’s cruelty.

• Sikong Jing urged Crescent Moon Continent’s people to attack the sealing formation and used his demonic-form spirit shadow to command Magic Beasts against those who still begged Ling Dongwei for mercy.
• Sikong Jing decided to reveal some of his beast bloodline power to draw in more demon beast mounts, while Ling Dongwei and Old Madam Ling worked to suppress the Evil Crescent River eruptions.

• A second sealing formation exploded, and more mounts charged in while Ling Dongwei cursed them and struggled to contain the torrents.
• Sikong Jing realized that Ling Dongwei’s subordinates had deliberately let the demon beasts through and called the events backlash for Ling Dongwei’s depravity.

Sikong Jing pressured Ling Dongwei by exploiting the beast mounts’ rebellion and the Magic Beasts’ attack on Evil Crescent River. Ling Dongwei withdrew the Blood Demon Grand Formation and sent troops into Crescent Moon Continent, but Sikong Jing warned that doing so would leave more mounts vulnerable to demonic corruption and accelerate the river’s destruction.

• Three defending generals deliberately let their beast mounts break through the sealed formations, while torrents from Evil Crescent River poured into Crescent Moon Continent.
• Ling Dongwei ordered his subordinates to dismantle the Blood Demon Grand Formation to calm the beasts and protect Evil Crescent River.
• Sikong Jing used Crescent Moon’s strongest beast to demand that Ling Dongwei withdraw all forces from Crescent Moon Continent and Crescent Moon Sea, prompting the beasts to protect their leader and intensify their devouring.
• Sikong Jing hid his true body in a forest as Old Madam Ling pursued him and urged Ling Dongwei to keep the formation active.
• Ling Dongwei ordered all his troops to charge into Crescent Moon Continent, and Sikong Jing warned that their mounts could become demonized and worsen the destruction of Evil Crescent River.

Ling Dongwei retreated from the Crescent Moon Continent and across the Crescent Moon Sea, while Sikong Jing defied his threats against the Crescent Moon Lineage.

• Ling Dongwei ordered his soldiers to kill their mounts, but their resistance and further breaches in the sealing formation forced him to retract the order.
• Sikong Jing said he could not guarantee the demon beasts would stop devouring the Evil Crescent River, and the strongest demon beast also refused to promise it.
• Sikong Jing's demonic-form spirit shadow threatened continued devouring unless Ling Dongwei withdrew, so Ling Dongwei removed his blockades and ordered the troops out of the Crescent Moon Continent.
• Sikong Jing commanded the demon beasts to stop devouring, then demanded that Ling Dongwei remove the great sealing formation and retreat across the Crescent Moon Sea.
• Ling Dongwei threatened Sikong Jing's family, but Sikong Jing repeatedly answered that he had killed Ling Ertian; Old Madam Ling then vowed to kill him.

Sikong Jing used the threat of absorbing the Evil Crescent River to keep Ling Dongwei at bay while waiting for the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family’s Grand Elder to arrive. After an assassination attempt failed, the Grand Elder forced Ling Dongwei to withdraw, but Ling Dongwei still threatened the Crescent Moon Lineage’s key figures.

• Ling Dongwei ordered Ling Zhisui to bring the Crescent Moon Lineage’s key figures to him, not knowing Ling Zhisui had yet to defeat them.
• Sikong Jing kept watch over Crescent Moon Continent and considered how to conceal his Imperial Bloodline when he reached the Heaven-Soaring Giant Continent.

• The Grand Elder rebuked Ling Dongwei and ordered him to relinquish control of the Crescent Moon Sea Region and withdraw his forces.
• Ling Dongwei left but ordered Ling Zhisui to bring the Crescent Moon Lineage’s important people to a location he would specify, defying the Grand Elder’s attempt to protect them.

Sikong Jing revealed that his second spirit shadow had controlled the demonic beasts, exposing how thoroughly Ling Dongwei had been deceived. After the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family elders confirmed Sikong Jing had mastered the Heaven-Soaring Nine Swords, they promised to restore the Crescent Moon Lineage while considering him a weapon against Ling Dongwei.

After defeating them and securing their submission, he instructed them to carry a message to Luo Guangmang and reinforce the Crescent Moon Lineage.

• Sikong Jing brought the Crescent Moon strongest beast and two Super Divine Martial beasts to the Straight Wind Palace Complex and entered a secret realm while his guards waited outside.
