Chapter Summary: “The First, Seven Decree Emperor”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Sikong Jing has reached a terrifying level of strength. Qin Luoluo and Mu Bujun estimate that fewer than ten Primordial Cosmos Emperors could reliably defeat him, and even the Ten Thousand Flames Emperor might not be able to suppress him.
• Qin Luoluo reflects that if Primordial Cosmos is eventually defeated, it may be because of Sikong Jing alone. His true goal is not merely to destroy the Primordial Cosmos Great World, but to break the supreme Burial Emperor Rules and establish new rules.
• Wan Qi remains trapped within the Burial Emperor Tribulation. Qin Luoluo warns her that her survival could determine the future of the Myriad Flame Sect. Mu Bujun reassures her that Sikong Jing allows former enemies to live if they remain loyal.
• Encouraged by their words, Wan Qi finally stops passively enduring the tribulation and begins resisting it. Because she has fused with the Hell Array Heaven-Swallowing Tiger’s essence blood, she is able to overcome the tribulation quickly.
• Sikong Jing continues comprehending the ninth level of the Nine Heavens Sword Dao through the inheritance left by the Nine Heavens Emperor. He realizes that its essence is “Tribulation-Breaking Power”—challenging, merging with, and ultimately breaking the rules.
• He further understands that the ninth level is connected to the Demonic Dao. Since the original inheritance involved the Nine Heavens Emperor using demons to slay demons for the Six-Horned Magic Beast, Sikong Jing enters the remains of a Six-Horned Magic Beast and absorbs its flesh and blood to recreate that cultivation state.
• After several days, the Seven Decree Emperor arrives with the Mist Emperor, three other Emperors, and a large force of Imperial Venerables, Quasi-Emperors, and Divine Lords.

• Mu Bujun: He remains analytical and supportive, emphasizing Sikong Jing’s strength and his willingness to spare former enemies who prove loyal.
• Wan Qi: Initially resigned to death and convinced she had lost her value, she regains the will to fight after Qin Luoluo and Mu Bujun assure her that survival and loyalty may preserve her sect. She begins actively overcoming the Burial Emperor Tribulation.
• Seven Decree Emperor: He arrives confident and aggressive, believing his group will be the first to claim the ninth-level inheritance and kill Sikong Jing. His confidence leads him to attack immediately.

Significant Themes

• Defiance of established rules: The ninth level of Sword Dao represents more than martial power; it embodies the struggle to challenge, merge with, and break the laws governing existence.

• The Seven Decree Emperor and four accompanying Emperor Realm experts attempt to block him. The four allies are killed, while the Seven Decree Emperor barely survives beneath the magic beast’s flesh.
• The Seven Decree Emperor challenges Sikong Jing to fight without using the magic beast’s flesh, hoping to trick him into releasing his advantage. Sikong Jing agrees, allowing the emperor to escape aboard a Divine Cosmos Ship.
• Sikong Jing reveals that his apparent naïveté was deliberate. He summons multiple remnants of the Six-Horned Magic Beast and two enormous external giant-beast corpses, surrounding and trapping the fleeing Seven Decree Emperor.
• He threatens to transform the giant-beast corpses into magic beast flesh unless the Seven Decree Emperor returns to fight him.

• However, his confidence collapses when Sikong Jing seals every escape route. He is forced into a battle he knows may be fatal, while hoping to stall until other Great Emperors arrive.
• Qin Luoluo and Mu Bujun initially view Sikong Jing as naïve for letting his enemy go, but quickly realize that his apparent mistake was part of a deliberate strategy.

• Breaking free from fate and cosmic laws: Becoming a Ten-Tribulation Emperor Venerable is necessary for Sikong Jing to resist the Burial Emperor Rules, the divine tribulation, and the Hell Array’s suppression.
• Limits of power: Although Sikong Jing can dominate the Seven Decree Emperor with external magic beast power, he discovers that his own strength remains insufficient. Fighting solely with true qi, even while using his strongest sword techniques and the Spirit Willow Emperor Vein, he cannot defeat a peak Great Emperor.
• Training through battle: The confrontation becomes an opportunity for Sikong Jing to temper his combat experience and search for the insight needed to surpass the Nine-Tribulation realm.
