Chapter Summaries

Sikong Jing concealed his deepest inheritance while Yu Gou, a Green Leaf Palace general, ordered him to accompany him to Green Leaf Palace. Sikong Jing agreed under threat, then offered Yu Gou a gift and asked him to speak favorably to the Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor.

• Yu Gou questioned Sikong Jing about the Nine Heavens legacy and sensed both his Nine Heavens and Heaven-Soaring Imperial Bloodlines.
• Sikong Jing revealed his human appearance and claimed the Nine Heavens Imperial Bloodline as the son of its inheritor, while hiding the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.
• Yu Gou invited Sikong Jing and his father to Green Leaf Palace, but Sikong Jing tried to delay, citing the danger from the Dark Sea Divine Wind Kingdom.
• Yu Gou threatened Sikong Jing's companions and aimed his finger-force at a Demonic Puppet, so Sikong Jing agreed to go with him.
• Sikong Jing asked Yu Gou's name, learned he was Azure Fire General Yu Gou, and offered him a small bottle in exchange for speaking well of him and his father to the Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor.

Sikong Jing offered Yu Gou quasi-Emperor beast blood essence to secure his cooperation before Yu Gou prepared to take him and Sikong Ding to Green Leaf Palace. The Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture reacted violently after consuming it, and Sikong Jing claimed Magic Beast bloodlust had tainted the essence as he entered the vulture to remove it.

• Sikong Jing gave Yu Gou a bottle of quasi-Emperor monster-beast blood essence, and Yu Gou promised to put in a good word for him.
• Yu Gou ordered Sikong Jing and Sikong Ding to accompany him, while refusing Ling Xiaotian's request to come along.
• Sikong Ding reminded Ling Xiaotian that Ling'er was waiting in the Desolate Sea Forbidden Land, and Sikong Jing promised his mother they would return.
• The Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture swallowed the blood essence and erupted in demonic smoke, prompting Yu Gou to accuse Sikong Jing of tampering with it.
• Sikong Jing blamed the reaction on Magic Beast blood essence contaminating the bottle and entered the vulture with his spirit shadow to search for the bloody aura.

Sikong Jing deceived Yu Gou, detonated one of his spirit shadows to make the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture fall into demonic corruption, and used its power to strike Yu Gou. He left the transformed Black-Feather Fire Demon Vulture to pursue Yu Gou while he escaped toward his family and the Desolate Sea Forbidden Land.

• Sikong Jing detonated his Demonic-Form Spirit Shadow inside the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture, spreading the Magic Beast blood aura through its body and sending the spirit shadow's remaining power into its Spirit Platform.
• Sikong Jing made the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture fall into demonic corruption, ordered the Demonic Puppets to take Sikong Ding and his wife away, and sent the Sea-Chasing King after them.
• Sikong Jing merged his power with the corrupted Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture and struck Yu Gou with a halberd, blasting him out of the sea.
• Sikong Jing, injured and unable to control the vulture for long, fled toward his parents and urged the beast to devour the strongest person present.
• The vulture transformed into the Black-Feather Fire Demon Vulture and pursued the wounded Yu Gou, who warned it to steady itself.

Sikong Jing triggered the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture’s descent into demonhood to force it to fight Yu Gou, then escaped with his family and the Sea-Chasing King. After half a day, the beast returned from its demonic state, and the wounded Yu Gou and the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture resolved to go to the Dark Sea Divine Wind Kingdom and attack Sikong Jing’s territory.

• Sikong Jing explained that he used a trace of the Nine Heavens Blood Devour Magic Beast’s essence-blood aura to make the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture fall to demonhood, then ordered everyone to return to the Desolate Sea Forbidden Land.
• Sikong Jing and his companions left through a spatial passage while Yu Gou and the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture continued fighting above the sea.

• After half a day, the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture returned from its demonic state, and it and Yu Gou collapsed onto the sea, badly injured.
• Yu Gou and the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture discussed their injuries and inability to face the Army-Slaying Formation, then decided to go to the Dark Sea Divine Wind Kingdom and attack Sikong Jing’s territory.

• Yu Gou and the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture vowed to massacre the Seal Sovereign Empire and devour its monsters while they recovered from their injuries.
• Jun Yiyao overcame her hesitation, attacked the wounded pair, and killed them before destroying their spirit shadows.
• Frightened by the consequences of killing the Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor’s envoy, Jun Yiyao collected the bodies and treasures and went to find Sikong Jing.
• Jun Yiyao arrived at Sikong Jing’s beast army and revealed that she had killed Yu Gou and the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture.
• Jun Yiyao recounted Yu Gou’s threats, and Sikong Jing praised her for eliminating the danger before she told him he had ruined her.

Sikong Jing arranged for Jun Yiyao to explain Yu Gou’s death as a mutual fatal battle and asked about the Five Heavenly Emperors. Jun Yiyao and Jun Yisui revealed that Boundless Sea lay outside their territories because the terrifying Burial Emperor Sea had fused with it and connected it to other worlds.

• Sikong Jing told Jun Yiyao to show Green Leaf’s envoys her recording of Yu Gou fighting the demonized Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture and claim both died after grievous injuries.
• Sikong Jing asked Jun Yiyao about Flame Prison’s relationship with Green Leaf, and she said the Five Heavenly Emperors’ realms and their subordinates often clashed.
• Sikong Jing collected Yu Gou’s remains and the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture’s remains, and Jun Yiyao gave him Yu Gou’s storage treasure as they returned to the Cangyu Demon Sect.
• Sikong Jing asked which Heavenly Emperor ruled Boundless Sea, and Jun Yiyao explained that the world had been abandoned because it was unstable and difficult to cultivate in.
• Jun Yiyao and Jun Yisui explained that the Burial Emperor Sea had crashed into Boundless Sea, connected multiple worlds, and was feared even by the Five Heavenly Emperors.

Sikong Jing explained his plan to exploit the expected arrival of Flame Prison Heavenly Emperor’s envoy, while preparing to face the Golden Seal Bai Family and the Dark Sea Divine Wind army. As Granny Gan’s forces occupied the Red Wind Continent, she revealed that Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor’s envoy had arrived in the Desolate Sea Region.

• Jun Yiyao and Jun Yisui explained that the Boundless Sea was outside the Five Heavenly Emperors’ territories and that its hegemonic powers sought their support.
• Sikong Jing told Jun Yiyao that Flame Prison Heavenly Emperor might send an envoy over the ferocious beast soul mission, and proposed blaming that envoy for the death of Green Leaf’s imperial envoy.
• Sikong Jing refused to change his approach to the remaining Golden Seal Bai Family troops, warned that Jun Yiyao’s help in killing Bai Renfu would become known, and received the Demonic Puppet fragments from her.
• Jun Yiyao learned that Sikong Jing was Sikong Ding’s son and connected his Nine Heavens Imperial Bloodline to the inheritance spirit image of the Nine Heavens Emperor.
• The Dark Sea Divine Wind army occupied the Red Wind Continent, and Granny Gan announced that Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor’s Imperial Envoy had reached the Desolate Sea Region.

Granny Gan and Jun Xuantong struggled to assess the shifting battles as the Dark Sea Divine Wind Kingdom advanced. On Cangyu Island, Sikong Jing’s allies captured Bai Rengun and Jun Guqiao, and Bai Rengun threatened to unleash the Golden Seal Bai Family against Jun Yibai if he died.

• Granny Gan learned that her Dark Thorn Squad had been killed and that Jun Yiyao was reportedly helping the Sea-Chasing King, so she ordered a rapid assault toward the Desolate Sea Region.
• Jun Xuantong learned that Jun Yiyao had appeared in the fighting and worried that the Seal Sovereign Empire could not hold its line against the advancing Dark Sea Divine Wind army.
• Sikong Jing and the others returned to Cangyu Island, where the Golden Seal Bai Family’s forces broke and fled or surrendered after Jun Yiji displayed the captured Bai Rengun.
• Jun Guqiao demanded that Jun Yiyao release her, but Bai Rengun told her that Jun Yibai had sided with Sikong Jing and Jun Yisui.
• Bai Rengun declared that his death would trigger the Golden Seal Bai Family to support the Dark Sea Divine Wind Kingdom and destroy the ferocious beast souls Jun Yibai intended to offer the Flame Prison Heavenly Emperor.

Sikong Jing learned the locations and circumstances of the Seal Sovereign Empire’s fierce beast souls from Bai Rengun and made clear that he sought neither the Flame Prison Heavenly Emperor’s favor nor status in Boundless Sea. After Sikong Jing killed Bai Rengun and spared Jun Guqiao for Su Yuexian to take away, the others discovered that Su Yuexian was his elder sister-in-law.

• Sikong Jing demanded that Bai Rengun reveal everything he knew about the Seal Sovereign Empire’s fierce beast souls, and Bai Rengun complied, hoping Sikong Jing would challenge Jun Yibai and the Flame Prison Heavenly Emperor.
• Sikong Jing told Bai Rengun that his goal went beyond Boundless Sea, and Jun Yiyao explained that she had been forced to side with Sikong Jing.
• Bai Rengun raged at Jun Yiyao’s words, collapsed, and Sikong Jing killed him with a sword strike.
• Jun Guqiao tried to bargain for her life by offering to become Sikong Jing’s woman, but Sikong Jing struck her and handed her and Bai Rengun’s corpse to Su Yuexian.
• Su Yuexian took Jun Guqiao away, revealed that she belonged to the Cangyu Demon Sect as Sikong Jing’s elder sister-in-law, and reminded Jun Guqiao of her past attempt to sell Sikong Jing to the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family.

Sikong Jing returned to Gods and Devils Island to take control of the damaged Desolate Sea Absolute Formation, while learning more about the Burial Emperor Sea from the beasts. The formation recognized him as its new master and passed its construction and workings into his mind, leaving him to study how to control it.

• Sikong Jing told Jun Yisui and the others to notify the front-line Sovereign Seal commander that Sea-Chasing King had won and to retreat to the Desolate Sea Region.
• Sikong Jing asked the beasts about the Burial Emperor Sea, and Black Prison Heaven-Swallowing Tiger explained that it had once been the Burial Emperor Tomb, a dangerous realm that drifted through the Void Rift World.
• Sikong Jing arrived at Gods and Devils Island, passed the praying demonfolk without contacting them, and returned to the dark palace where Black Demon's corpse sat.
• Sikong Jing reviewed Black Demon's warning not to fully restore the formation and memorized the materials needed to repair it.
• Sikong Jing touched the formation's pillar, and the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation recognized him as its new master and transmitted its construction diagram and workings to him.

Sikong Jing continued comprehending Black Demon's damaged absolute formation while the armies learned of the Golden Seal Bai Family's defeat. Su Yuexian returned to Granny Gan with Jun Guqiao and Bai Rengun, then spread a false account that the Green Leaf Imperial Envoy and his beast had killed each other, leaving Granny Gan skeptical.

• Sikong Jing studied the damaged Desolate Sea Absolute Formation as Jun Xuantong received orders from Jun Yiyao to retreat after the Sea-Chasing King's victory.
• Jun Xuantong dismissed reports crediting Sikong Jing with defeating the Golden Seal Bai Family, assuming the emperor had secretly supported him.
• Su Yuexian returned to Granny Gan with Jun Guqiao and Bai Rengun's corpses, claiming she had captured the Seal Sovereign Empire's Eighth Princess.
• Su Yuexian used her bewitching power to quiet Granny Gan's doubts and claimed she had severed her ties with Sikong Jing.
• Su Yuexian told Granny Gan that the Green Leaf Imperial Envoy and his demon beast mount had fought to the death, though Granny Gan did not believe her.

As Granny Gan intensified the attack on the Desolate Sea Region, Su Yuexian warned her of Sikong Jing and planned to blame the Green Leaf Emperor's envoy's death on the Flame Prison Heavenly Emperor. Meanwhile, reports plunged the Seal Sovereign Empire into political turmoil, and Sikong Jing continued studying the ultimate formation on Gods and Devils Island Prison while waiting for the Dark Sea Divine Wind Kingdom's army.

• Su Yuexian warned Granny Gan to withdraw, but Granny Gan suspected her motives and ordered the attacks to intensify.
• Jun Yibai received reports of Sikong Jing's victories, Jun Guqiao's capture, and the suspected deaths of the Green Leaf Emperor's envoy and his demonic beast mount.
• Seal Sovereign officials argued over Sikong Jing, the Sea-Chasing King, and the Golden Seal Bai Family as Jun Yibai struggled to manage the competing crises.
• Jun Guxian and Jun Guqiao's mother vowed revenge, and the Golden Seal Bai Family launched attacks across the Seal Sovereign Great Continent with help from Dark Sea Divine Wind Kingdom spies.
• On Gods and Devils Island Prison, Sikong Jing confirmed the enemy army had not yet arrived and pressed his hand to the formation's black pillar, grasping the ultimate formation in his mind.

Sikong Jing reunited with Su Yuexi after taking control of the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation, but she suddenly attacked him and tore out his heart. Two opposing spirit shadows fought for control of Su Yuexi as Sikong Jing escaped her grasp and tried to understand what had happened.

• Sikong Jing saw Su Yuexi waiting by the sea and used the formation to teleport to her, stopping its bombardment as she approached.
• Sikong Jing and Su Yuexi embraced, but Su Yuexi pierced his chest and seized his beating heart.
• Su Yuexi said she needed to crush Sikong Jing's heart to overcome her cultivation bottleneck, while his Beast Heart kept him alive.
• The Flower Blood Drop's spirit shadow resisted the purple evil force within Su Yuexi, allowing Sikong Jing to pull away and begin repairing his wound.
• Su Yuexi apologized and called out to Night Charm before the purple force regained control and promised to settle the struggle within her.

Sikong Jing discovered that the purple presence inside Su Yuexi was tied to the Purple Spirit-Protecting Jade and might be a reincarnated soul body of the King of Night Charms. As Su Yuexi’s real self neared demonic madness, Sikong Jing fought to reach her Spirit Platform and free her.

• Purple Su Yuexi overwhelmed Su Yuexi’s Flower Blood Drop power and revealed that she had altered Sikong Jing’s heart while trying to take control of Su Yuexi’s body.
• Sikong Jing recognized the purple power as the Purple Spirit-Protecting Jade’s aura and concluded that an external evil, possibly a reincarnated soul body of the King of Night Charms, was possessing Su Yuexi.
• Sikong Jing used the Nine Heavens Blood Devour Magic Beast’s aura to suppress the purple power and sent his humanoid spirit shadow toward Su Yuexi’s Spirit Platform.
• Purple Su Yuexi summoned the Purple Night Mystic Jade, which trapped Sikong Jing’s humanoid spirit shadow as Su Yuexi’s real self grew more unstable.
• Sikong Jing sent his beast-form spirit shadow toward Su Yuexi’s Spirit Platform.

Sikong Jing discovered that the spirit shadow controlling Su Yuexi was the Night Charm Demonic Soul, empowered by the Purple Night Mystic Jade. After Su Yuexi regained her resolve at his voice, he used a Six-Thousand Fierce-Beast Flower Blood Drop to help her suppress the demon soul, leaving her body evolving as the struggle continued.

• Sikong Jing's beast-form spirit shadow entered Su Yuexi's spiritual platform, while the Purple Night Mystic Jade blasted away his Thousand-Layer Purgatory Tower.
• Su Yuexi regained her resolve when Sikong Jing told her he was there, and she tried to explain that fierce-beast flower blood drops could suppress the inner demon.
• The purple spirit shadow threatened to kill Su Yuexi if Sikong Jing attacked, but Sikong Jing identified it as a demon soul whose consciousness had to be erased.
• Sikong Jing infused Su Yuexi with the Six-Thousand Fierce-Beast Flower Blood Drop, causing her Flower Blood Drop Sacred Body to evolve and begin suppressing the Night Charm Demonic Soul.

Sikong Jing and Su Yuexi drove the Night Charm demonic soul out of her spirit shadow, but the soul escaped by binding itself to the Purple Night Mystic Jade inside Su Yuexi’s dantian. They were left seeking a way to uncover the jade’s secrets and remove it without killing her.

• The Night Charm demonic soul threatened to shatter Su Yuexi’s spirit shadow unless Sikong Jing withdrew the Flower Blood Drops, but he protected her Spirit Platform and continued helping her absorb them.
• Su Yuexi’s spirit shadow repelled the demonic soul and separated from it, while Sikong Jing urged the soul to leave her Spirit Platform.
• The Night Charm demonic soul vanished from Su Yuexi’s sea of consciousness and entered the Purple Night Mystic Jade, which forcibly acknowledged Su Yuexi as its master.
• The jade expelled Sikong Jing’s humanoid spirit shadow and fused with Su Yuexi’s dantian, making it dangerous to remove because its destruction could shatter her dantian and meridians.
• Sikong Jing and Su Yuexi recovered and resolved to have the Flying Cloud Colorful Butterfly brew Ten Thousand Beasts Flower Blood Drops while they sought a way to uncover and break the Purple Night Mystic Jade.

Sikong Jing reassured Su Yuexi about the Purple Night Mystic Jade, which strengthened her and helped her break through to the Divine Venerable Realm. He left to confront the Dark Sea Divine Wind Kingdom’s army, while the Night Charm Demonic Soul was trapped by his formation and a figure in the Burial Emperor Tomb sensed the jade in the Boundless Sea world.

• Sikong Jing told Su Yuexi that her parents had returned and discussed the Night Charm Demonic Soul’s warning about the Purple Night Mystic Jade and Charm King Palace.
• Su Yuexi broke through from the God King Realm into the Divine Venerable Realm as the Purple Night Mystic Jade transformed her body and true energy.
• Sikong Jing placed a Demonic Blood Formation around the Purple Night Mystic Jade inside Su Yuexi’s dantian, then left to face the arriving Dark Sea Divine Wind Kingdom army.
• After Sikong Jing departed, the Night Charm Demonic Soul emerged but was forced back into the Purple Night Mystic Jade by his formation, while Su Yuexi asserted that it could no longer harm her.
• A figure in the Burial Emperor Tomb sensed the Purple Night Mystic Jade’s aura and realized it was in the Boundless Sea world.

A hidden figure sent the Sword Extinction Totem toward the Boundless Sea world, hoping to lure the Purple Night Mystic Jade’s owner into the Burial Emperor Tomb and reclaim the jade. At the Cangyu Demon Sect, Sikong Jing was unexpectedly appointed commander of the campaign against the Dark Sea Divine Wind Kingdom, and Jun Xuantong accepted the decree despite his generals’ protests.

• A hidden figure revealed that the Purple Night Mystic Jade could help restore their Heavenly Emperor strength and planned to use the Sword Extinction Totem to draw its owner to the Burial Emperor Tomb.
• The Sword Extinction Totem flew toward the Boundless Sea world as the hidden figure vowed revenge on the Five Heavenly Emperors and predicted disaster for the region.
• Sikong Jing returned to the Cangyu Demon Sect with six Demonic Puppets as the Dark Sea Divine Wind Kingdom’s army advanced toward the Desolate Sea Region.
• Jun Yiyao read an imperial decree appointing Sikong Jing a Seven-Seal War General and commander, while Jun Xuantong, Jun Yisui, and Jun Yiyao were ordered to assist him.
• Jun Xuantong’s generals protested the sudden change of command, but Jun Xuantong accepted the decree and handed it to Sikong Jing.

Sikong Jing accepted the imperial decree making him commander and privately proposed using the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation to destroy the Dark Sea Divine Wind army. Jun Xuantong left with the Seal Sovereign Empire’s main force, and Sikong Jing ordered the remaining forces to gather at the formation’s edge for battle.

• Sikong Jing accepted the imperial decree and the honors Jun Yiyao returned to him.
• Sikong Jing told Jun Xuantong that he had a plan to annihilate the Dark Sea Divine Wind army with the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation.
• Jun Xuantong agreed to the plan but then stormed back to the plaza, declared he would not obey Sikong Jing, and withdrew his troops.
• Jun Yiyao asked Sikong Jing what he had said to Jun Xuantong, but Sikong Jing refused to explain.
• Sikong Jing ordered everyone to withdraw to the edge of the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation and prepare to fight the Dark Sea Divine Wind.

Granny Gan weighed the suspicious reports about Sikong Jing and eventually led her army toward the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation, while Jun Xuantong and Sikong Jing carried out a plan to manipulate her spies and provoke her into advancing. Jun Yiyao questioned Sikong Jing about his intentions, but he concealed the plan and claimed he would simply fight with his back to the formation.

• Granny Gan received reports that Jun Xuantong had withdrawn after Jun Yibai replaced him as marshal, but she suspected Sikong Jing might be luring her into the Desolate Sea Absolute Formation.
• After learning that the Green Leaf Imperial Envoy and his demon beast had died in an internal conflict, Granny Gan grew furious and ordered her army to advance cautiously toward the formation.
• Granny Gan's forces probed Sikong Jing's defenses several times but were repelled, so she decided to commit her full army before Sikong Jing grew stronger or the Sovereign Seal forces attacked.
• Jun Xuantong reflected that Sikong Jing had arranged his withdrawal and planted misleading reports to provoke Granny Gan while exposing spies within his ranks.
• Jun Yiyao asked Sikong Jing whether he planned to use the absolute formation against Granny Gan, but Sikong Jing denied it and said he only intended to fight with his back against the formation.
