The Beast Heart body fought off their attacks and lured Elder Gong into pursuit as Sikong Jing headed for the Burial Emperor Battlefield.

Sikong Jing used his Beast Heart Body to distract Elder Gong while his true body sped ahead through the Yin Spirit liquid wall toward the passage. After the Beast Heart Body and Beast-Form Spirit Shadow self-destructed, Sikong Jing was badly injured and began recovering as Elder Gong’s forces debated whether to continue pursuing him.

• Sikong Jing learned that Elder Gong was pursuing him and rebuilt his Beast Heart Body to intercept the ship.
• The Beast Heart Body repeatedly unleashed Yin Spirit grand storms, delaying Elder Gong as Sikong Jing’s true body recovered and widened the gap.
• Over several days, the growing number of eighth-level Yin Spirits prolonged the delays, while Sikong Jing’s true body grew weaker from the strain.
• Sikong Jing’s ship emerged from the Yin Spirit liquid wall, and he resolved to find the passage through the Burial Emperor Battlefield.

Sikong Jing entered the passage between the Vast Universe and the Origin Universe and prepared to lure battlefield Yin spirits into an ambush against Elder Gong's Divine Cosmos Ship. Meanwhile, Elder Gong identified the pursuing humanoid beast as the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and rallied his crew to destroy it.

• Sikong Jing swept his spirit shadow toward the Burial Emperor Battlefield, found the spirit-free opening, and entered the passage.
• Sikong Jing recalled that the passage was damaged and that Nine Heavens treasures were needed to withstand the battlefield Yin spirits.
• Sikong Jing headed deeper into the passage to find a damaged point for his ambush, then sent the weakened Beast Heart Body to place another giant mine near the exit.
• A Four-Tribulation Emperor Venerable urged Elder Gong to turn back, but Elder Gong said he believed the humanoid fierce beast was the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.
• Elder Gong explained that the Ten Absolute Emperor had failed to kill the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and declared that his crew would capture and destroy it.

Sikong Jing used the Beast Heart Body to provoke the Burial Emperor Battlefield’s Yin spirits, destroying the clone and badly damaging Elder Gong’s Cosmos Ship. Elder Gong’s group stopped at the passage entrance to repair their ship, so Sikong Jing sought a way to force them onward.

• The Beast Heart Body fled beyond the liquid wall, then provoked the battlefield Yin spirits, which tore it apart and attacked Elder Gong’s Cosmos Ship.
• Elder Gong and his group escaped into the passage after enduring two quarters of an hour of attacks, but their ship was severely damaged.
• Elder Gong realized the destroyed Beast Heart Body was an avatar and suspected the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts’ true body was ahead in the passage.
• Elder Gong chose to stay at the passage entrance and repair the ship instead of advancing or returning to the Vast Universe.
• Sikong Jing realized Elder Gong had grown cautious and spotted a small breach in the passage where Yin Spirit Evil Qi seeped through.
• Sikong Jing asked the Snow-Tempered Sword Spirit whether he could cross a short distance through the Burial Emperor Battlefield and circle back to block the passage exit.

Sikong Jing recovered beside the damaged passage, then sent his Beast Heart Body into the Burial Emperor Battlefield to test whether it could survive there. The Beast Heart Body reached the crimson ground and found a ruined house and a broken sword, which Sikong Jing suspected belonged to a powerful Sword Clan cultivator.

• Sikong Jing reasoned that the Burial Emperor Battlefield varied by location and that non-Emperor members of the Sword Clan could enter it without necessarily dying.
• Sikong Jing rested for a month while Elder Gong's group repaired the Divine Cosmos Ship, then sent his recovered Beast Heart Body through the damaged passage.
• The Beast Heart Body descended through the battlefield Yin spirits without provoking them and landed safely on the battlefield's crimson ground.
• The Beast Heart Body approached a ruined house and spotted a battered, broken sword embedded in the ground.
• Sikong Jing concluded that the house and sword likely belonged to a powerful Sword Clan member who had come to cultivate.

Sikong Jing discovered the remains of Bian Guo, a Vast Cosmos sword cultivator who had exposed Ten Absolute as a spy before dying in the Burial Emperor Battlefield. Bian Guo was stunned to learn that Sikong Jing had successfully fused Absolute Sword and the Sword Clan without suffering the divine tribulation that had killed him.

• Sikong Jing examined the ruined house, found Bian Guo’s skeleton protected by a fading sword-intent formation, and knelt to honor him.
• Bian Guo’s phantom appeared and asked whether Ten Absolute was dead and whether Vast Cosmos had been sealed.
• Sikong Jing recounted Vast Cosmos’s current state, and Bian Guo raged that Ten Absolute had deceived the world.
• Bian Guo revealed that he had exposed Ten Absolute’s conspiracy, fled into the battlefield, and become a Great Emperor by cultivating the Burial Emperor Sword.
• Bian Guo explained that he died after a divine tribulation struck him while he tried to fuse Absolute Sword with the Sword Clan.
• Sikong Jing revealed his Mad Beast Sword Dao, and Bian Guo reacted in disbelief when Sikong Jing said he had succeeded without being harmed.

Sikong Jing received Bian Guo’s sword inheritance and began tempering his Mad Beast Sword Dao in the Burial Emperor Battlefield. A month later, his Beast Heart Body faced the battlefield’s ninth-rank Yin Spirits without the Nine Heavens Sword Dao’s protection.

• Bian Guo passed his Sword Dao to Sikong Jing, warned him to separate the Sword Clan from Absolute Sword if divine tribulation came, and cautioned him against entering the battlefield’s depths without a sword capable of facing tenth-rank Yin Spirits.
• Sikong Jing vowed to preserve Bian Guo’s legacy and learned through the inheritance how Bian Guo had cultivated the Sword Clan’s Burial Emperor Sword and later fused it with Absolute Sword.
• Sikong Jing chose to cultivate by releasing the Nine Heavens Sword Dao’s protection and using battlefield Yin Spirits to temper his Burial Emperor Sword.
• Sikong Jing’s Beast Heart Body repeatedly alternated between enduring the Yin Spirit Evil Qi and restoring its protection, while his main body cultivated at the damaged passage.
• After a month, the Beast Heart Body released its protection and struck at the approaching Yin Spirits, cleaving through eighth-rank spirits as ninth-rank spirits surrounded it.

Sikong Jing split his true body and Beast Heart Body to investigate the strange beastly roar and prepare for the Origin Universe invaders. The Beast Heart Body ambushed Elder Gong’s group, wrecking their repaired ship again, while Sikong Jing suspected its sword strike had caused the roar.

• After hearing a strange beastly cry, Sikong Jing sent his true body deeper into the passage and dispatched a new Beast Heart Body toward the Yin Spirit liquid.
• Elder Gong’s group debated how to respond to the roar, then sent a Four-Tribulation Emperor Venerable to scout before deciding to enter the Vast Universe.
• The Beast Heart Body emerged from the Yin Spirit liquid and struck a Battlefield Yin spirit, causing it to detonate and severely damage Elder Gong’s Divine Cosmos Ship.
• Elder Gong ordered the ship repaired again, while Sikong Jing wondered whether his Beast Heart Body’s Mad Beast Sword Strike had caused the roar.

Sikong Jing probed deeper into the Burial Emperor Battlefield while cultivating, then raced ahead of Elder Gong’s ship to prepare an ambush. He waited at a massive rupture, where a torrent of battlefield Yin spirits surged toward Elder Gong’s approaching Divine Cosmos Ship.

• Sikong Jing repeatedly sent his Beast Heart Body into the Burial Emperor Battlefield, using the Snow-Tempered Sword to survive deeper reaches and improve his sword arts.
• After discovering Elder Gong’s repaired ship was heading back toward the Origin Universe, Sikong Jing hurried ahead to find an ambush point.
• Sikong Jing reached about one-third of the way through the passage, sensed that going farther would be fatal, and chose a massive rupture where he could wait for Elder Gong.
• Elder Gong warned the ship’s passengers that tenth-tier Yin spirits might appear and had them reinforce the Divine Cosmos Ship’s Nine Heavens formation.
• On the third day of Sikong Jing’s wait, battlefield Yin spirits poured from the rupture and rushed toward Elder Gong’s ship.

Sikong Jing revealed his ambush against Elder Gong’s ship by using his Humanoid Fierce Beast clone and the Snow-Tempered Sword to unleash the Yin Spirits from the breach. As the clone lured the raging horde toward the retreating ship, the chapter left unexplained how Sikong Jing’s true body survived at the breach.

• Mu Bujun complained that Sikong Jing had delayed Elder Gong’s group with a clone, then sensed Sikong Jing’s Nine Heavens Sword Dao ahead.
• Elder Gong and the others spotted Sikong Jing beyond the breach, recognized his Humanoid Fierce Beast clone, and tried to retreat.

• Elder Gong’s ship fled as the people aboard panicked, while Sikong Jing’s true body watched from beside the breach; how he survived there remained unclear.

Sikong Jing lured the battlefield yin spirits into destroying Elder Gong’s cosmos ship, but Elder Gong and Mu Bujun’s spirit shadow ambushed him and dragged him into the Burial Emperor Battlefield. As Sikong Jing prepared to die, a strange beastly cry summoned a vortex that swept him up and scattered the surrounding yin spirits.

• Sikong Jing’s Beast Heart Body held off the battlefield yin spirits long enough to draw them toward Elder Gong and then shattered under their attack.
• Elder Gong’s cosmos ship was overwhelmed by the battlefield yin spirits, and its Nine Heavens Defensive Formation and hull broke apart.
• Elder Gong emerged from the breach with Mu Bujun’s spirit shadow merged into him, seized Sikong Jing, and dragged him into the Burial Emperor Battlefield.
• Sikong Jing stabbed himself with the Snow-Tempered Sword and told Elder Gong that he had only wanted to kill him and prevent the Nine Heavens Emperor’s method from reaching the Origin Universe.
• A strange beastly cry sounded again, and a vortex surged up from beneath the Burial Emperor Battlefield, enveloping Sikong Jing and scattering the nearby battlefield yin spirits.

Sikong Jing was swept into a hidden small world inside the Burial Emperor Battlefield, where he discovered a dead and sealed realm. A gigantic skeletal beast then attacked him, and he answered with the Mad Beast Sword Strike.

• A tornado swept Sikong Jing and Elder Gong toward the Burial Emperor Battlefield, and Sikong Jing killed Elder Gong and the spirit projections within him.
• Sikong Jing sensed intense vitality below and found a jade-green vortex that he suspected had formed around a fragment of the Spirit Root Divine Willow.
• Sikong Jing was pulled through the vortex into a dark, lifeless small world, where the Snow-Tempered Sword Spirit said it could not return to the Dark Demon Small World.
• A skeletal beast tore through the sky, fixed its scarlet eyes on Sikong Jing, and reached for him with a powerful claw.
• Sikong Jing recognized the beast's strength as near Emperor level and launched the Mad Beast Sword Strike at its claw.

Sikong Jing escaped the Nine-Tribulation Bone Beast and followed a mysterious gale into a living world nested inside the dark small world of the Burial Emperor Battlefield. He discovered a town where people from the Primordial Cosmos Great World were about to burn a Prison Race man and a Primordial Cosmos woman, and suspected the world’s inhabitants had descended from people stranded during the last Burial Emperor War.

• Sikong Jing used the Mad Beast Sword Strike to summon a six-horned beast shadow, which frightened the Nine-Tribulation Bone Beast into retreating.
• A gale carried Sikong Jing through a barrier into a lush inner world, where he hid from an Emperor Venerable-level spirit shadow by taking on the aura of a small demon beast.
• Sikong Jing found that the local demon beasts lacked intelligence, then changed clothes and headed toward a nearby town.
• Sikong Jing arrived as a crowd prepared to burn a young Prison Race man and a woman of the Primordial Cosmos Great World at the stake.
• Sikong Jing suspected the town’s people were descendants of those stranded in the inner world during the last Burial Emperor War.

Sikong Jing learned that the town planned to burn Yu Zhonglang and Xiao Shao for supposedly awakening a demon beast, then revealed himself as the one responsible. He freed the Black Awakening Demon Dragon and escaped, while the Town Lord ordered the Aurora Divine General to pursue him.

• The Town Lord accused Yu Zhonglang and Xiao Shao of violating the Aurora Gods' law by awakening the Black Awakening Demon Dragon and sentenced them to burn at noon.
• Sikong Jing realized the town worshipped the Aurora Sacred Pearl and speculated that the Spirit Willow Clan and a Beastman Race had emerged in this isolated world.
• As the Aurora Sacred Flame ignited beneath Yu Zhonglang and Xiao Shao, Sikong Jing announced that he had awakened the Black Awakening Demon Dragon's intelligence.
• Sikong Jing shattered the dragon's cage, and the dragon obeyed his call and carried him away from the town.
• Sikong Jing knocked down the pursuing townspeople with willow branches and extinguished the flames on Yu Zhonglang and Xiao Shao.
• The Town Lord stopped the pursuit and ordered a report to the Aurora Divine General, claiming Sikong Jing was at least Saint Martial Stage.

Sikong Jing learned more about the Aurora Continent and suspected that Primordial Cosmos experts had created it to study the Spirit Root Divine Willow and the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts. He returned to town after sensing a Divine Martial Stage expert, where the Aurora Divine General announced the Divine Lord’s order to gather other races and their families as sacrifices to summon the Aurora Divine Maiden.

• Sikong Jing learned from the Black Awakening Demon Dragon about the Aurora Continent’s three races, their unequal power, and the dragon’s recent awakening of intelligence.
• Sikong Jing theorized that Primordial Cosmos experts had built the world to study fragments of the Spirit Root Divine Willow and the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, and decided to investigate the Beastman Race and Spirit Willow Clan.
• Sikong Jing realized the Beastman Race was the Prison Race and that the Spirit Willow people referred to other races, then sensed a Divine Martial Stage expert arriving in town.
• The Black Awakening Demon Dragon asked Sikong Jing to save Yu Zhonglang, so Sikong Jing returned to town, where more than a dozen Divine Martial Stage experts had gathered.
• The Aurora Divine General declared that intermarriage between races was forbidden and ordered other-race residents, their spouses, and their descendants taken to Aurora City as sacrifices to summon the Aurora Divine Maiden.

Sikong Jing rescued Yu Zhonglang and Xiao Shao from the Aurora divine generals and headed toward the beastman race, while investigating the Aurora human race’s sacrifices and the world’s origins. At the Aurora Pantheon, the Zither Sword Maiden learned that a Sacred Pearl fragment had drawn the shattered spirit shadows of Elder Gong and Mu Bujun into this world.

• The Aurora Divine Lord presented the Zither Sword Maiden with spirit-shadow fragments, and the Divine Envoy identified them as belonging to Elder Gong of Imperial Might Mountain and Mu Bujun, the Nine Heavens Sword Son.
