The neutral factions split between joining the Absolute Slaying Emperor and secretly strengthening Sikong Jing’s Army-Slaying Formation, restoring the battle’s balance. Outside the black hole, Tian Wuyang urged the Celestial Race to let Sikong Jing and his allies escape so the Vast Cosmos Great World would descend further into chaos.

• The Absolute Slaying Emperor forcibly called on neutral factions to join his Army-Slaying Formation, and many agreed rather than risk the Burial Emperor Tomb.

The Magic Rat form explained that Sikong Jing and other prisoners had escaped the Peerless Pill Pavilion, turning the fight against the Ancient Ten Absolutes into a wider uprising, though the faction faced heavy losses to come.

Sikong Jing’s Shadow Moon Demon Rat taunted Absolute Pill Emperor from inside the Shattered Small World, then let itself be captured as Chen Lusheng’s faction escaped. When Absolute Pill Emperor entered to pursue them, the world and the demon rat detonated, engulfing him and the other experts in destruction and Nine Heavens demon blood.

• The Shadow Moon Demon Rat provoked Absolute Pill Emperor and revealed that his failed attempt to erase Sikong Jing’s memories had exposed the Primordial Cosmos Great World’s secrets.

• The demon rat self-destructed in Absolute Pill Emperor’s hand, splashing Nine Heavens demon blood over Absolute Pill Emperor, Absolute Slaying Emperor, Tian Wuxiu, and the surrounding experts.

Sikong Jing used his Beast-Form Spirit Shadow to help Chen Lusheng’s forces devastate Absolute Pill Emperor’s side, though the Shadow Moon Demon Rat body was destroyed. Afterward, Absolute Pill Emperor’s group learned the demon rat had been only half of the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, leaving them to suspect the complete form still existed.

The others debated whether to join the Anti-Seal Faction, while Zhe Ying went alone into a nearby city, uncertain about the truth and the dangers ahead.

• Chen Lusheng charged through his pursuers, determined to protect Sikong Jing, while Old Lady Chen fled to deliver information as arranged by her father.

After a perilous crossing, they escaped through another vortex, while Absolute Pill Emperor and the Three Absolutes were left outside.

• Sikong Jing told Chen Lusheng to lead everyone into the Dark Demon Small World and asked him to ready other Dark Demon Realm Rings as exits.
