Chapter Summaries

Sikong Jing tried to turn Nether Thunder Palace against the Quasi-Emperor Palace experts by revealing his low cultivation, but the ruse failed when they sensed the Sword Extinction Totem’s power. As Nether Thunder Palace confronted him, Teng Bahun awoke, revealed his breakthrough, and proposed they switch roles so Sikong Jing could inherit the sword while he fought the experts.

• The Nether Thunder Palace experts accused the Quasi-Emperor Palace experts of killing Wu Cha, then attacked the Long Flow Palace expert when he blamed Sikong Jing.
• Sikong Jing admitted he had killed Nether Thunder Palace’s people and confessed that he had tried to make the two groups fight each other.

• The Long Flow Palace expert was left unconscious before he could explain Sikong Jing’s methods to the others.
• Teng Bahun awoke, said he had reached the Five-Step Four Symbols Realm, and offered to fight the Four Symbols experts while Sikong Jing received the inheritance.

Teng Bahun left the Sword Extinction Totem to fight the Nether Thunder Palace experts, while Sikong Jing took his place and inherited the Sword Extinction Burial Emperor Sword. As Teng Bahun faced a combined assault, Sikong Jing forced himself to adapt to the inheritance and began fusing it with his own Sword Extinction Killing Path.

• Teng Bahun and Sikong Jing switched places, freeing Teng Bahun from the totem's sword intent and binding Sikong Jing in his stead.
• Teng Bahun unleashed the Sword Extinction Burial Emperor Sword, killing one Nether Thunder Palace expert and blasting away the peak Four Symbols expert and the rest of their attackers.

• Sikong Jing entered the ancient battlefield formed by Teng Bahun's One Sword Domain and began receiving the Burial Emperor Sword inheritance, suffering the backlash of its rejection.
• Sikong Jing resolved to seize the inheritance by force and use his Sword Extinction Killing Path to shape the Burial Emperor Sword into one of his own.

Sikong Jing endured the Sword Extinction Totem’s inheritance while Teng Bahun defeated the Four Symbols fighters outside. The Totem Spirit explained why Sikong Jing could never become the totem’s master and why Sword Extinction Emperor had chosen Teng Bahun.

• Sikong Jing merged his Imperial Bloodlines with the Burial Emperor Sword and was drawn into the totem’s sea of evil qi to comprehend the Sword Extinction Killing Path.
• Teng Bahun killed the Nether Thunder Palace’s Four Symbols peak expert, forcing the remaining fighters to flee, then returned to his place atop the Sword Extinction Totem.
• Sikong Jing broke through to ninth-step Yang Extremity Heaven, adapted to the inheritance, and asked the Totem Spirit why the totem could never choose him.
• The Totem Spirit told Sikong Jing that he and Sword Extinction Emperor shared a temperament that would prevent them from completing the Burial Emperor Sword by following Sword Extinction Emperor’s path.
• The Totem Spirit explained that Sword Extinction Emperor chose Teng Bahun because his pure, innocent heart mattered more than talent.

Sikong Jing learned that Yuan Xiao had marked the Sword Extinction Totem and agreed to help its spirit erase that claim. As Yuan Xiao fought back from the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb, Sikong Jing challenged his claim to be its master.

• The totem spirit explained that Sikong Jing could not summon Yin spirit baleful energy while Teng Bahun’s master recognition was incomplete, then asked him to erase Yuan Xiao’s mark.
• The totem spirit revealed that Yuan Xiao had used the Tomb Core Divine Pillar to become half-master of the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb and had forced the totem to promise him full recognition if he reached the Heavenly Emperor realm.
• Sikong Jing agreed to help, and the totem spirit took him to the totem’s treasure core to begin erasing Yuan Xiao’s essence-blood mark.
• Yuan Xiao revealed that he had spread the method for accelerating through the Burial Emperor Sea to draw enemies toward Sikong Jing and planned to lure Su Yuexi to the sea.
• Yuan Xiao sensed the totem spirit erasing his mark and sent his will through it to resist, while Sikong Jing told him he was not the master of the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb.

Sikong Jing helped the totem spirit erase Yuan Xiao’s mark from the Sword Extinction Totem, then prepared to face the returning Four Symbols. Enraged and trapped in the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb, Yuan Xiao ordered Kuang Tunhai to capture Sikong Jing’s important subordinates and bring them to him.

• Sikong Jing used his will and Sword Extinction Imperial Bloodline to hold back Yuan Xiao while the totem spirit erased Yuan Xiao’s essence blood mark.
• The totem spirit warned Sikong Jing that the returning Four Symbols included a fifth-step expert, and Sikong Jing asked to be sent out.
• Yuan Xiao, furious at his humiliation, decided to target Sikong Jing’s family and subordinates rather than leave the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb himself.
• Yuan Xiao recruited Kuang Tunhai, leader of the Sea Monster Society, and ordered him to capture Sikong Jing’s important subordinates alive.
• Kuang Tunhai accepted Yuan Xiao’s mission, received treasures and guidance, and left the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb.

Sikong Jing used two Dark Sea elders to make the Four Symbols powerhouses believe he had relied on Teng Bahun to kill the three great Heaven Emperor Palaces’ newcomers. The ruse drew them close, and they attacked Sikong Jing as the elders pretended to hold him back.

• Yuan Xiao sent Kuang Tunhai to capture people from the Seal Sovereign Empire, hoping to provoke Sikong Jing into returning to the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb.
• The Four Symbols powerhouses returned to the Sword Extinction Totem and forced two Dark Sea elders to approach Teng Bahun and test whether he was still dangerous.

After sending two controlled Dark Sea elders to investigate the Green Leaf Palace camp, he summoned the Burial Extinguishers as the totem drifted toward the Vast Sea.

• Sikong Jing called out to the Burial Extinguishers, and Armor Monster God and Desert Blood emerged among them.

He learned Purple Bamboo was risking herself to protect the Green Leaf Palace camp and was counting on him to free the Burial Extinguishers.

• Sikong Jing exposed Armor Monster God, Desert Blood, and four other Burial Extinguishers, who admitted they were hiding nearby because they could not disobey Yuan Xiao's order to kill Teng Bahun.
• Desert Blood explained that the six followed Purple Bamboo and had avoided attacking Teng Bahun, though Yuan Xiao's restriction forced them to remain near the Sword Extinction Totem.

• Armor Monster God revealed that Yuan Xiao had ordered one faction to guide Four Symbols experts through the Burial Emperor Sea while the other faction targeted the Green Leaf Palace camp.
• Desert Blood explained that Purple Bamboo had stayed behind to protect the Green Leaf Palace experts and was gambling that Sikong Jing could resolve the crisis.
• Sikong Jing told the six to hide again as more Four Symbols experts arrived, then reflected that six of the nine Burial Extinguishers still resisted Yuan Xiao.

Sikong Jing fought off pursuing Four Symbols Realm experts while the Burial Extinguishers resolved to follow him if they escaped their restrictions. In the Green Leaf Palace camp, Feng Shixian questioned the captured Purple Bamboo about her motives, and Su Yuexian began speaking with her instead.

• Su Yuexian entered the barrier to speak with Purple Bamboo, who wondered why they felt they had known each other for a very long time.

Su Yuexian revealed that Purple Bamboo was likely a reincarnated powerhouse whose first-life memories were sealed, then warned Feng Shixian that a hidden force threatened the Green Leaf Palace faction. As the faction prepared for an attack, four Burial Extinguishers seized Jun Yibai, Jun Yiji, and others from the Seal Sovereign Empire to lure Sikong Jing back to the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb.

• Su Yuexian recognized Purple Bamboo as someone she and Sikong Jing had been seeking and learned why Purple Bamboo had come to protect the Green Leaf Palace faction's Four Symbols.
• Su Yuexian told Purple Bamboo that her master had sealed her first-life memories and offered essence blood to help break the seal, warning that awakening could make her forget this life.

• Feng Shixian ordered the Four Symbols to assemble and prepared defenses against an assassination attempt.
• Four Burial Extinguishers seized Jun Yibai, Jun Yiji, and other Seal Sovereign Empire figures, while Kuang Tunhai announced that Master wanted to use them to force Sikong Jing back to the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb.

Kuang Tunhai exchanged Jun Yibai and the others for Su Yuexian, who offered herself as a hostage so Sikong Jing could rescue one person more easily. After the exchange, Purple Bamboo absorbed Su Yuexian’s essence blood and set out to confront her Master, leaving instructions for the others to contact Sikong Jing and follow him if she did not return.

• Kuang Tunhai threatened Purple Bamboo and tried to leave with Jun Yibai and the other captives, but Feng Shixian and the others failed to stop his group.

• Purple Bamboo departed to seek her Master, leaving Zi Jin and Zi Ya in tears.

As Sikong Jing and Teng Bahun continued fighting the pursuing Four Symbols, Sikong Jing received an urgent message about Su Yuexian, leaving him to choose between rescuing her and helping Teng Bahun endure one more day.

• Feng Shixian left A Yi to guard the Green Leaf Palace camp and led the other Four Symbols toward the Sword Extinction Totem, ordering the Seal Sovereign Empire members to contact Sikong Jing.

• About a dozen injured Four Symbols experts gathered away from the totem, and Zhu Lian suggested asking the Heaven Emperor Palace for reinforcements.
• A Four Symbols powerhouse shouted, asking what Black Scale was trying to do.

Sikong Jing left the Sword Extinction Totem for the Burial Emperor Sea while Teng Bahun escaped into the totem, frustrating the Four Symbols experts.
