Sikong Jing left Dragon God Hall for the Prison Race, intending to meet Tian Wuchen and find a way to turn the Celestial Race against the Ancient Ten Absolutes. He planned to continue to the Peerless Pill Pavilion despite the danger, while the Anti-Seal Faction focused on protecting Shadow Moon Demon Rat and the Ten Thousand Demon Hall.

• Sikong Jing decided he had to complete his controllable Demon Vein before reaching the Peerless Pill Pavilion so he could withstand Absolute Pill Emperor's poison.

• Sikong Jing asked Chen Lusheng to let Shadow Moon Demon Rat approach the Peerless Pill Pavilion for support, then continued toward the Prison Race, knowing that his demon rat body could go there too.

Chen Lusheng struggled over whether to risk the Anti-Seal Faction to rescue Sikong Jing at the Peerless Pill Pavilion, then led its experts toward the Southern Heavenly Heroic Spirit Divine Region to confront the Celestial Race. At the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, the Fox King challenged the Celestial Race’s justification for attacking, and the opposing armies began their battle.

• Sikong Jing took out the Broken Blade Nether Demon Stone and declared that he would fill the skies above the Ten Thousand Demon Hall with yin spirits.

The demon rat body arrived at the Ten Thousand Demon Hall’s battlefield and revealed itself as the Shadow Moon Demon Rat, enraging Ling Dao and exposing Ling Zhe’s past failure to capture it. It then unleashed Yin Spirit Evil Qi from the Broken Blade Nether Demon Stone and ordered qualified demon race fighters to use it to temper Extreme Prison and cultivate the Emperor-Burial Technique.

• The demon rat body headed to Black Tiger’s battlefield while Ling Dao taunted the Ten Thousand Demon Hall and demanded the Shadow Moon Demon Rat be handed over.

• Shadow Moon Demon Rat, standing on Black Tiger’s head with Tian Wuan in hand, asked to speak with the Celestial Race clan leader.
• Tian Wucan called Shadow Moon Demon Rat unworthy, while Black Tiger and the King of Heavenly Fox declared that their factions would follow the Young Hall Master’s decisions.
• After Tian Wucan rejected him again, Shadow Moon Demon Rat merged his demonic power with Black Tiger’s and released the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts bloodline aura.
• The Extreme Sea Fierce Beasts felt the aura compel them to submit, and some of the weaker beasts knelt before Shadow Moon Demon Rat.

The Shadow Moon Demon Rat used its Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts aura to rally demon beasts and panic the Celestial Race army while questioning Tian Wucan about the clan chief's ties to the Ancient Ten Absolutes.

The Little Demon Mouse's body sought to awaken Tian Wuan's Celestial Race bloodline memories by exposing him to Yin Spirit Evil Qi. After imprisoning Tian Wuan, Shan Qiansu, and Xue Lin, it refused Wen Xuanwu's offer of safety and planned to meet Sikong Jing at the Peerless Pill Pavilion.

• Wen Xuanwu explained that the supreme races once had Burial Emperor methods, but the Seal War and the Ancient Ten Absolutes erased much of that knowledge.

• Wen Xuanwu sealed all three in Black Tortoise Divine Armor, and the Little Demon Mouse's body placed them inside the Second Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Prison.
• Wen Xuanwu urged the Little Demon Mouse's body to enter the Dark Demon Small World for safety, but it asked him to take it near the Peerless Pill Pavilion to meet and help Sikong Jing.

The demon rat body persuaded Wen Xuanwu and Chen Lusheng to let him travel near the Peerless Pill Pavilion to help Sikong Jing escape. After confirming that the rat possessed a genuine but incomplete Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts bloodline, Wen Xuanwu sent him toward Chen Lusheng and prepared the Ten Thousand Demon Hall for a retreat.

Tian Wuxiu revealed that he belonged to the Ancient Ten Absolutes, killed Tian Tao, and used his death to unite the Celestial Race against the Anti-Seal Faction. As Tian Wuxiu headed for the Peerless Pill Pavilion and sent Tian Wuchen to intercept Sikong Jing, Sikong Jing neared the Prison Race amid its ongoing civil war.

• Tian Wuxiu told Tian Tao that the Ancient Ten Absolutes planned to destroy the Vast Cosmos Great World, then crushed Tian Tao’s body and spirit shadow.

• Sikong Jing approached the Prison Race’s Eighth Heavenly Domain and learned that the Prison Race’s civil war had become a stalemate.

Sikong Jing considered how to bring Tian Wuchen to the Peerless Pill Pavilion and uncover the Celestial Race chief’s identity, then encountered Tao Qi near the Prison Race Eighth Heaven Domain. Tao Qi offered herself as a hostage and warned him away from the pavilion, but Tian Wuchen appeared and claimed the Celestial Race chief would not kill Sikong Jing if he stopped sinking deeper.

• Tian Wuchen emerged from the darkness and said the Celestial Race chief would not kill Sikong Jing as long as he did not sink deeper.

• Tian Wuchen contacted Tian Wuxiu and claimed that he had intercepted Sikong Jing and Tian Qi, while reporting the accusation that Tian Wuxiu had killed Tian Tao and belonged to the Ancient Ten Absolutes.

Meanwhile, the Magic Rat body arranged to send Sikong Jing a sample of Magic Beast blood, leaving Chen Lusheng puzzled by its purpose.

• Sikong Jing gathered Yu Xianpo and the others, and they decided Xie Bumian would take Sikong Jing, Tao Qi, and the imprisoned Tian Wuchen to the Peerless Pill Pavilion while the others settled the Prison Race's internal conflict.
• Sikong Jing reasoned that the Ancient Ten Absolutes would let their enemies gather at the Peerless Pill Pavilion so they could eliminate the Anti-Seal Faction in one sweep.
