Chapter Summaries

Sikong Jing entered his conscious magic beast form, broke free of the restriction, and turned Bai Zhihan into a hostage again. After killing and injuring Golden Seal fighters aboard the Divine Shuttle Warship, he faced Bai Rengun, who threatened to kill Bai Zhihan despite the hostage's shattered Dao Heart.

• Bai Rengun acknowledged Sikong Jing's strength, then said Bai Zhihan's Dao Heart was shattered and threatened to kill him himself.

Bai Rengun killed Bai Zhihan and trapped Sikong Jing in the Thousand-Layer Purgatory Tower, where Sikong Jing endured its flames to temper his will and strength.

• Sikong Jing learned that five damaged Demonic Puppets remained and ordered three to lie in ambush at the Cangyu Demon Sect and two to search for his parents.

Sikong Jing escaped with Jun Yiji and the troops after the Demonic Puppet drove back Bai Rengun’s forces. Bai Rengun learned the puppet’s identity and ordered a full-scale hunt, determined to kill Sikong Jing before he could enter the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation.

• Sikong Jing asked whether he could use the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation to attack the sea, then treated Jun Yiji and the troops and led them away from Bai Rengun.
• Bai Rengun confirmed that Sikong Jing and Jun Yiji had escaped, mourned the soldiers killed by the black blade radiance, and demanded to know what had struck him.
• A surviving Golden Seal expert identified the attacker as the Demonic Puppet, and Bai Rengun realized it was the same puppet rumored to have killed his wife.
• Golden Seal Bai Family experts warned Bai Rengun that Sikong Jing might uncover the Cangyu Demon Sect’s ancient power and control the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation.
• Bai Rengun ordered his forces to hunt Sikong Jing and prevent him from returning to the absolute formation, even if they had to abandon their attack on Jun Yisui.

Sikong Jing coordinated with the Sea-Chasing King’s forces while breaking through three Golden Seal Bai Family armies and capturing many of their demon-beast mounts. Bai Rengun pursued him, learned that Sikong Jing could control beasts, and ordered his troops to prevent their mounts from being seized.

• Sikong Jing’s beast-form spirit shadow began subduing sea beasts to assemble a Beast Slaughter Array and encircle Bai Rengun.
• Sikong Jing’s demon-form spirit shadow told Hai Chongyan to notify the Sea-Chasing King that Jun Yiji was temporarily safe, then led the group toward the Fierce Wind Islands.
• Jun Yisui received the message, ordered the Sea-Chasing King’s forces to cut off Golden Seal Bai Family support, and led the main army into battle.
• Sikong Jing and Jun Yiji charged through three Golden Seal forces; Sikong Jing used his formation and the Demonic Puppet to control their mounts as Jun Yiji’s troops defeated them.
• Bai Rengun found the defeated forces and learned that Sikong Jing could control demon beasts, so he ordered his troops to place death-forcing restrictions on their mounts and continued the pursuit.

Sikong Jing and Jun Yiji joined forces with the Mountain Sea Crocodile Dragon Beast to surround Bai Rengun's army, then fought to hold out until Jun Yisui's reinforcements arrived. As their lines began to falter, Sikong Jing decided to unleash the Demonic Slaughter Array.

• Sikong Jing and Jun Yiji gathered scattered Sea-Chasing King's forces while Bai Rengun pursued them with a growing Golden Seal army.
• Sikong Jing revealed that the Mountain Sea Crocodile Dragon Beast and its demon beast army had secretly entered the emptied sea region, forming a pincer with his forces.
• Sikong Jing left Jun Yiji to hold Bai Rengun's army and joined the Mountain Sea Crocodile Dragon Beast to strengthen his Break Nine Heavens Army-Slaying Formation.
• Jun Yiji and Sikong Jing fought separate formations against Bai Rengun's larger army, struggling to survive until Jun Yisui's main force could arrive.
• As Jun Yiji's side began to lose ground, Sikong Jing decided to use the Demonic Slaughter Array.

Sikong Jing turned his Beast Slaughter Array into a Demon Slaughter Array, killed Bai Rengun’s Golden Seal generals with the Demonic Puppet, and helped turn the battle with Jun Yiji’s reinforcements. As Bai Rengun’s forces broke out and Sikong Jing and Jun Yiji pursued, Jun Yiyao suddenly appeared before Jing Yuan and Su Yuexian’s armies.

• Jun Yiyao appeared before Jing Yuan and Su Yuexian, and Jing Yuan recognized her as the Eight-Seal Divine Official.

Jing Yuan and Su Yuexian led their forces toward the Desolate Sea Forbidden Land, rejecting Jun Yiyao’s offer of help after confronting her over the Sea Court Sect’s destruction. As Bai Rengun’s breakout army approached, he spotted Jun Yiyao and blamed her for the crisis.

• Jun Yiyao encountered Jing Yuan, Jun Quejun, Su Yuexian, and their assembled forces, and wondered where Sikong Jing was.
• Jing Yuan accused Jun Yiyao’s side of allowing the Golden Seal Bai Family to nearly destroy the Sea Court Sect, then attacked her with his Army-Slaying Formation.
• Jun Yiyao evaded the attack as Jing Yuan and Su Yuexian continued toward the Cangyu Demon Sect; she later offered to help, but they rejected her and accused her side of standing by during the attacks.
• Bai Rengun’s breakout army appeared, and Jing Yuan ordered his troops to block it.
• Bai Rengun spotted Jun Yiyao above the opposing forces and accused her of causing the crisis.

Bai Rengun mistook Jun Yiyao for the commander behind the forces intercepting him and blamed her for Bai Renfu’s death, while Jing Yuan and Su Yuexian used his anger to delay his escape. Sikong Jing and Jun Yiji arrived with reinforcements and began to encircle Bai Rengun, leaving Jun Yiyao still falsely accused and Sikong Jing unwilling to clear her name.

• Bai Rengun accused Jun Yiyao of killing Bai Renfu and leading the troops against him, then attacked her in a rage.
• Su Yuexian realized Bai Rengun had mistaken Jun Yiyao for their commander and urged Jing Yuan to exploit the distraction; their forces struck Bai Rengun’s army and retreated to slow his breakout.
• Jing Yuan’s subordinate falsely shouted that Jun Yiyao was closing in on Bai Rengun, making him slow his advance to guard against an attack.
• Jun Yiji’s troops and Sikong Jing’s beast army arrived from opposite sides, joining Jing Yuan and Su Yuexian to assault Bai Rengun’s forces.
• Jun Yiyao denied killing Bai Renfu, and Sikong Jing and Jun Yiji realized she had appeared alone in the Desolate Sea Region; Sikong Jing chose not to clear her name.

Sikong Jing and the allied forces drove Bai Rengun toward the Desolate Sea Forbidden Land, where Jun Yisui's army had surrounded him. Jun Yiyao recognized Sikong Jing's growing strength, sent a report to the Seal Sovereign Great Continent, and followed the battle.

• Bai Rengun refused to believe Sikong Jing had defeated Bai Renfu alone and accused Jun Yiyao of helping him, while Jing Yuan's subordinate further provoked Bai Rengun by crediting her with the battle.
• Sikong Jing, Jun Yiji, and the armies of Jing Yuan and Su Yuexian drove Bai Rengun toward the Desolate Sea Forbidden Land, then pursued cautiously to avoid provoking a desperate fight.
• Jun Yiyao approached Sikong Jing and asked him to clear her name, but he refused and ordered the Demonic Puppet to escort her away from his Demonic Slaughter Array.
• Jun Yiyao realized Sikong Jing was becoming a dangerous potential enemy and sent a message about the battle and his growth toward the Seal Sovereign Great Continent.
• Jun Yiyao caught up with the pursuit as Jun Yisui declared that Bai Rengun was surrounded by his main force.

Sikong Jing tracked Bai Rengun through the Desolate Sea Region and repeatedly thwarted his attempts to regroup the Golden Seal Bai Family forces. After three days, Bai Rengun was alone but still escaped using a detonated treasure, insisting he could reverse the battle.

• Bai Rengun abandoned his army and fled beneath the sea to regroup the Golden Seal forces, while Sikong Jing pursued him with the Demonic Puppet and Mountain Sea Crocodile Dragon Beast.
• Sikong Jing used the sea beasts to track Bai Rengun and directed Jun Yiji, Jun Yisui, and the other Yang Extremity Heaven experts to intercept him.
• Jun Yiji and Jun Yisui joined the pursuit while Jing Yuan stayed behind to destroy the forces Bai Rengun had abandoned.
• Over three days, Sikong Jing repeatedly found Bai Rengun before he could regroup, and the Golden Seal experts around Bai Rengun were killed or captured.
• Sikong Jing confronted the isolated Bai Rengun, who demanded to know how he kept finding him; Sikong Jing replied that the Desolate Sea Region was his territory.
• Bai Rengun claimed he could still turn the battle around and detonated a treasure to escape again.

Sikong Jing pursued Bai Rengun while Jun Yisui sealed escape routes and broke up the Golden Seal troops. Bai Rengun planned to flee the Desolate Sea Region and join the Dark Sea Divine Wind Kingdom's army, but Sikong Jing found him again as he tried to escape.

• Sikong Jing suspected Bai Rengun might target the Cangyu Demon Sect, regroup his troops, or flee, so Jun Yisui sealed routes and announced Bai Rengun's execution to sow confusion among the Golden Seal troops.
• Sikong Jing and the Demonic Puppet set off to track Bai Rengun, while Jun Yisui rejected Jun Yiyao's request to discuss the war and warned her that Bai Rengun might attack her.
• Bai Rengun disguised himself as a wounded Sea-Chasing King soldier and decided to leave the Desolate Sea Region to join the Dark Sea Divine Wind Kingdom's army and Granny Gan.
• Sikong Jing and the Demonic Puppet emerged beneath Bai Rengun, who hurled the Thousand-Layer Purgatory Tower at them and fled again.

Bai Rengun escaped Sikong Jing and Hai Chongyan, then decided to hide inside the Cangyu Demon Sect rather than seek refuge with the Dark Sea Divine Wind Kingdom. Sikong Jing tracked his direction and pursued him, ending by asking whether the other Demonic Puppets had found his parents.

• Bai Rengun escaped Sikong Jing by tearing through space, but Sikong Jing revealed that his second spirit shadow was hidden inside the sea beast Bai Rengun had possessed.
• Sikong Jing confronted Bai Rengun with the ninth-step Yang Extremity Heaven Demonic Puppet and demanded the Thousand-Layer Purgatory Tower, prompting Bai Rengun to flee.

• Sikong Jing rejected plans to exploit Bai Rengun's intended defection and learned that Bai Rengun was heading toward the Cangyu Demon Sect.
• Bai Rengun decided to hide inside the Cangyu Demon Sect, while Sikong Jing followed his trail and asked the Demonic Puppet whether his parents had been found.

Sikong Jing trapped Bai Rengun on Cangyu Island, helped the Sea-Chasing King reach the ninth step of Yang Extremity Heaven, and watched Bai Rengun get defeated. He then learned that his parents had been found near experts at Yin-Yang Dual Extremity Heaven and hurried to reach them.

• Sikong Jing tracked Bai Rengun to Cangyu Island, where three waiting Demonic Puppets and Sikong Jing's group surrounded him.
• Sikong Jing gave the Sea-Chasing King five void energy crystals, and the Sea-Chasing King absorbed them and reached the ninth step of Yang Extremity Heaven.

• A Demonic Puppet told Sikong Jing that his parents had been found on an island near Yin-Yang Dual Extremity Heaven experts.
• Sikong Jing ordered the Demonic Puppet to take him to his parents immediately.

Sikong Jing learned that his parents had been found near a Yin-Yang Dual Extremity Heaven powerhouse and rushed to protect them with Jun Yisui and four Demonic Puppets. Meanwhile, Jun Yiyao encountered a powerful stranger searching for the Nine Heavens Emperor’s aura, and he began examining her attributes.

• Sikong Jing asked Jun Yisui and the others about the unknown Yin-Yang Dual Extremity Heaven powerhouse, but they could not identify the person.
• Sikong Jing led Jun Yisui and four Demonic Puppets through space toward Sikong Ding and his wife, suspecting the Flame Prison Heavenly Emperor might have sent an envoy.
• Jun Yiyao arrived at an island outside the Golden Seal encirclement and observed that Sikong Jing appeared to have routed the Golden Seal Bai Family.
• A middle-aged man in azure arrived on an Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture and asked Jun Yiyao whether she carried the Nine Heavens Emperor’s aura.
• The man doubted Jun Yiyao’s denial and swept palm force around her to inspect her true qi and blood essence attributes.

A blue-clad expert from beyond Boundless Sea interrogated Jun Yiyao about the Nine Heavens Emperor and Sikong Jing, suspecting she knew where to find the Nine Heavens aura. He left to pursue Jiuxiao’s aura, while Jun Yiyao remained unaware of who had revealed it.

• The blue-clad man overwhelmed Jun Yiyao, examined her blood, and found no trace of Nine Heavens aura, then demanded what she knew about the Nine Heavens Legacy.
• Jun Yiyao recounted what she had heard about the Imperial Legacy Battlefield and said Sikong Jing might possess Nine Heavens swordsmanship.
• The man asked where Sikong Jing was, and Jun Yiyao concealed that he had returned to the Desolate Sea Region, saying he might come back soon.
• The blue-clad man sensed Jiuxiao’s aura in the island’s depths and vanished with his mount to pursue it.
• Jun Yiyao recovered from the pressure and wondered who carried Jiuxiao’s aura.

Jun Yiyao encountered Sikong Ding and Ling Xiaotian on the island after they lured the blue-robed middle-aged man away. She helped them break the barrier and faked being wounded so they could escape, then told the returning man they had overpowered her.

• The blue-robed middle-aged man sealed the island with a barrier, preventing Jun Yiyao from warning Sikong Jing.
• Sikong Ding and Ling Xiaotian emerged with a Demonic Puppet, and Sikong Ding thanked Jun Yiyao for hiding Sikong Jing’s return.
• Sikong Ding asked Jun Yiyao to help break the barrier, and she agreed but said she would stay behind and warned that the blue-robed middle-aged man might serve the Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor.
• Jun Yiyao and the Demonic Puppet broke the barrier, then she asked the puppet to slash her so she could pretend it had wounded her.
• The blue-robed middle-aged man returned with a captured Demonic Puppet, and Jun Yiyao claimed a middle-aged couple had injured her while escaping.

Jun Yiyao helped Sikong Ding and Ling Xiaotian escape, then warned the Seal Sovereign Empire of the threat from the Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor’s forces. Sikong Jing reunited with his parents, but the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture cut them off with heavenly fire as their pursuer demanded that Sikong Jing surrender.

• Jun Yiyao let the middle-aged man in blue believe she had been defeated, and he left with the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture to pursue Sikong Ding and Ling Xiaotian.
• Jun Yiyao gathered the shattered Demonic Puppet fragments, worried about Sikong Jing and the danger the Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor’s aid posed to the Seal Sovereign Empire, and sent a warning to His Majesty.
• Sikong Jing learned that one Demonic Puppet had been shattered and that a Yin-Yang Dual Extremes Realm human and beast were pursuing his parents; he decided to meet them head-on because there was no time to prepare a battlefield.
• Sikong Jing and Jun Yisui met Sikong Ding and Ling Xiaotian above the sea, and the family called to one another as the Demonic Puppets brought them together.
• The Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture dropped a wall of heavenly fire between Sikong Jing and his parents, prompting Sikong Jing to order the damaged Demonic Puppet into the sea.
• The pursuer called to Sikong Jing, identified as the one with the aura of the Nine Heavens, and demanded that he come forward.

Sikong Jing and his allies tried to escape the Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor’s envoy and the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture by diving into the sea, but the envoy trapped them in a Sea-Calming Pearl barrier. He recognized Sikong Jing and demanded to know what Nine Heavens had given him.

• Sikong Jing, the Demonic Puppets, and the Sea-Chasing King combined their attacks to resist the green-clad man's suction and save Sikong Ding and his wife.
• Sikong Ding told Sikong Jing that the enemy was likely sent by the Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor and had been asking about Sikong Jing and the Nine Heavens inheritance.
• Sikong Jing led his family, the Sea-Chasing King, and the Demonic Puppets deeper underwater, hoping the seawater would weaken the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture.
• The green-clad man used the Sea-Calming Pearl to drain the water from a barrier enclosing Sikong Jing and his allies, then questioned Sikong Ding about his Nine Heavens legacy and bloodline.
• Sikong Jing said he had obtained the Nine Heavens essence blood from the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family's forbidden grounds, and the man identified him and asked what else Nine Heavens had given him.
