Background

Sikong Sheng is the chief disciple of the Sixth-Rank Sect Suspended Mountain, a descendant of the Azure King, and bearer of the Azure King's Bloodline. His bloodline grants him exceptional momentum and potential, while his own talent and comprehension place him among Southern Zhuo Region's foremost young experts. 241 443

He first entered the Hidden Dragon Rankings at age fifteen and placed second. By the following tournament, he had claimed first place, establishing himself as the acknowledged leader of Southern Zhuo Region's younger generation. 241 271

At Hidden Dragon Ancient City, his arrival immediately overshadowed the gathered geniuses; Origin Energy converged behind him, and his kingly momentum surpassed even Lin Yun's. 240 His attack-power test produced sixty-one activated crystals, a result associated with early Star Extremity Realm combat capability. 245

Personality

Sikong Sheng is intensely proud, confident in his superiority, and accustomed to treating all but the strongest contemporaries as beneath his notice. He initially dismissed Lin Yun, Yan Chi Huo, and Ye Chen as incapable of truly threatening him. 245 271 279

His pride is matched by a singular focus on cultivation. He declined to make Murong Qingcheng a priority over his martial path, planned to leave Southern Zhuo Region in search of stronger peers, and returned from seclusion determined to reclaim his lost position from Ye Chen. 280 281 299

Defeat does not break his resolve. Following repeated losses, he continues pursuing greater strength, rises within the Evil King's Tower, and sets his sights on attaining an even higher status among its Seven Nights. 449 471

Appearance

Sikong Sheng is a young man whose eyes are repeatedly likened to those of a deity. His presence is defined less by ornamentation than by an overwhelming kingly aura that makes weaker martial artists feel oppressed. 240 300

• Later appears in black robes as the Fourth Night of the Evil King's Tower. 449
• Often keeps one hand behind his back while confronting opponents, emphasizing his composure and confidence. 271 280
• After later setbacks, Ye Chen observes that his former arrogance has become restrained behind a wooden expression. 715

Abilities & Skills

Azure King Bloodline

Sikong Sheng inherited the Azure King's Bloodline, giving him unusual potential and a naturally commanding momentum. 241 263

• His bloodline contributes to the aura that established him as the younger generation's “king.” 240 241
• He is regarded as one of Suspended Mountain's greatest prospects, with the potential to become a Life and Death Realm King. 287 443
• His bloodline alone does not guarantee victory; Ye Chen defeats him despite the advantage. 287

Azure Sky Overlord Fist

The Azure Sky Overlord Fist is Sikong Sheng's signature Earth-grade Top-tier fist technique, founded by the Azure King. Its overwhelming fist force allows him to dominate opponents through direct power. 271 285

• Fist Overlord of Rivers — A destructive long-range fist attack capable of overpowering elite opponents. 280 285
• Fist Settling the Rivers and Mountains — Binds surrounding space to restrict an opponent's movement. 283 284
• Fist Shatters the Heavens — A killing move powerful enough to explode half a mountain during his rematch with Ye Chen. 300
• Heaven Collapses, Earth Splits — A full-force killing move used while empowered by the Primordial Magnetism Battle Body. 301

Half-step True Essence

Before reaching the Star Extremity Realm, Sikong Sheng had already begun refining True Essence, producing Half-step True Essence of far higher quality than ordinary True Qi. 283

• He concealed this advantage during much of the Hidden Dragon Rankings by diluting it into True Qi. 283
• It substantially strengthens his offense and defense, allowing his fist force to threaten arena barriers comparable to early Star Extremity Realm protective True Essence. 280 285
• His Half-step True Essence supports his exceptionally fast Void Shift Flash Step. 285 300

Void Shift Flash Step

Sikong Sheng possesses a top-tier Earth-grade movement technique that produces movement so rapid it resembles instantaneous relocation. 281

• Lets him evade attacks after they are launched, leaving opponents striking empty space. 281
• Enables abrupt close-range assaults with the Azure Sky Overlord Fist. 283 300
• Was considered faster than Li Daoxuan's Teleportation Sword Steps and beyond Ye Chen's movement ability at the time. 281

Primordial Magnetism Battle Body

A secret art created through Suspended Mountain's Primordial Magnetism Divine Iron. It coats Sikong Sheng in a chaotic magnetic force field. 301

• Increases his combat power by more than thirty percent. 301
• Strengthens his Half-step Protective True Essence and disrupts incoming attacks through attraction and repulsion. 301 302
• Its magnetic force is expendable; once depleted, his defensive strength falls sharply. 302

Evil Path Will

Sikong Sheng comprehended Evil Path Will through his connection to the Evil King, a feat shared by only the First and Fourth Nights among the Evil King's Tower's Seven Nights. 465

• Enhances his attack power beyond that of an ordinary beginner Martial Soul-level will. 465
• He used it as a trump card against Celestial Tome Prodigy Li Xiaoyun. 464
• Li Xiaoyun judged its level too low to challenge a true Evil Soul-level opponent. 464

Gravity-Based Mystic Martial Art

Sikong Sheng employs an unusual Mystic Martial Art that links his fist force to the earth and immobilizes an opponent through immense gravity. 460

• Prevents an opponent from moving away from a shockwave's impact. 460
• Defeated the Fire Swamp Region's foremost young expert through this technique. 460

Equipment

• Dark greenish-black gauntlets — Worn during his rematch with Ye Chen; used to support his peak Half-step True Essence output. 300
• Radiant Thunder Beast — Suspended Mountain's sole Level 7 Demonic Beast; Sikong Sheng used it to return from the Hidden Dragon Rankings and travel to the Flowing Cloud Sect. 299

Relationships

• Ye Chen — Primary rival. Sikong Sheng lost the Hidden Dragon Rankings final to Ye Chen, sought a rematch after seclusion, and later continued to regard him as the opponent he most wanted to defeat. 287 299 449
• Sikong Ba — Grandfather and Sect Master of Suspended Mountain. Sikong Ba is also a descendant of the Azure King and retaliated against Ye Chen after Sikong Sheng's defeats. 383 387
• Azure King — Ancestor from whom Sikong Sheng inherited his King's Bloodline and the Azure Sky Overlord Fist's legacy. 241 271
• Evil King — Patron who brought Sikong Sheng into the Evil King's Tower, where he rose from a candidate to the Fourth Night. 449
• Celestial Tome Prodigy Li Xiaoyun — Overwhelming opponent who defeated Sikong Sheng even after he unleashed Evil Path Will. 464 465
• Lin Yun — Rival contender defeated by Sikong Sheng during the Hidden Dragon Rankings. 271 272
• Yan Chi Huo — Fellow leading genius whom Sikong Sheng defeated decisively during the Hidden Dragon Rankings. 283
• Gu Youyun — Junior sister from Suspended Mountain and fellow bearer of a King's Bloodline. 275

Major Arcs

Hidden Dragon Rankings

Sikong Sheng entered the tournament as its reigning champion and dominant favorite. He overwhelmed Lin Yun, Bing Ling, Li Daoxuan, Yan Chi Huo, and Murong Qingcheng while accumulating Dragon Vein Qi toward a nine-zhang dragon-shaped phantom. 271 273 280 281 283

He revealed Half-step True Essence in the final round against Ye Chen, forcing the latter to expose seventy-percent Sword Intent. Although Sikong Sheng's Azure Sky Overlord Fist pierced the arena barrier and pushed Ye Chen to his limits, Ye Chen's Heart Slayer Sword ultimately pierced his defenses and secured first place. 283 285 286 287

Rematch at the Flowing Cloud Sect

After nine months of seclusion, Sikong Sheng arrived at the Flowing Cloud Sect to reclaim the first-place title and Dragon Vein Qi. He had raised his cultivation method to the Twelfth Level, perfected the first killing move of the Azure Sky Overlord Fist, and acquired an initial understanding of its second killing move. 299

The rematch devastated the surrounding mountains. Sikong Sheng used the Primordial Magnetism Battle Body and his strongest fist techniques, but Ye Chen answered with Azure Lotus Swordplay, Azure Lotus Sword Qi, and the Lesser Bloodfiend Disintegration Art. 300 301 302

Evil King's Tower and Martial Dao Tea Party

Sikong Sheng joined the Evil King's Tower after the previous Martial Dao Tea Party and advanced rapidly from a candidate to the Fourth Night. His ultimate aim in returning was to defeat Ye Chen and avenge the loss that had defined his earlier career. 449

At the Tea Party, he displayed a gravity-based Mystic Martial Art and later challenged Celestial Tome Prodigy Li Xiaoyun. His Evil Path Will failed to overcome Li Xiaoyun's Fan Dance, exposing the gap between quasi-True Dragon-level experts and the highest tier of young prodigies. 460 464 465

Four Supreme Emperors' Tomb

Sikong Sheng later appeared among Jin Jue King's group entering the Four Supreme Emperors' Tomb. Ye Chen noted that Sikong Sheng's presence implied top Grandmaster-level strength, though his demeanor had become markedly more restrained than before. 715
