After trading for Luo Yuan’s cultivation art, Su Yu learned that the space was the Lost Forbidden Land, a dangerous ancient battlefield said to contain Emperor Realm inheritances.

• Su Yu turned to the shaken Luo Yuan and asked where the inheritance grounds were.

Su Yu entered a canyon bearing the Saber Intent of a deceased King Realm saber expert and absorbed its insights with the Prison-Suppressing Platform. After quickly attaining perfected Saber Intent, he provoked the expert’s lingering will and unleashed a technique to seize its Dao.

• Luo Yuan led Su Yu to the canyon where a King Realm saber expert’s laws and Saber Intent had been imprinted after his death.
• Su Yu walked into the canyon, suppressing and absorbing its invading Saber Intent while Luo Yuan watched in disbelief.
• Su Yu used the Prison-Suppressing Demon-Subduing Art to dissolve a barrier of saber phantoms and reached the canyon’s end.

• A King Realm expert’s lingering will appeared on the wall and struck Su Yu with a slash embodying the Law of the Saber.
• Su Yu declared that the expert’s Dao would belong to him and activated Azure Nether Violet Gold: Prison Illumination Divine Punishment against the lingering will.

Su Yu erased the King Realm remnant’s will with the Mirror of Nether Illumination and absorbed its saber insights, perfecting his Saber Intent. He discovered the inheritance was actually a warning about a terrifying darkness and asked Luo Yuan what her ancestor had given back after surviving this place.

• The King Realm remnant attacked Su Yu with a saber of law, but Su Yu exposed its soul’s sins with the Mirror of Nether Illumination.

• Su Yu told Luo Yuan that her ancestor had survived the canyon and asked how many gifts he had given back then.

After exhausting the King Realm inheritance site, Su Yu assessed his cultivation and decided he needed more Slaughter Points to strengthen his abilities. When Luo Yuan revealed that a forest on their route concealed a terror feared by two generations of experts, Su Yu headed toward it, intent on uncovering what lay within.

• Luo Yuan refused to discuss the price her Lineage had paid to free its ancestor, and she followed Su Yu out of the emptied canyon.
• Su Yu reviewed his strengths and weaknesses, deciding to improve his Qi Refinement cultivation, develop Heaven Realm martial and movement techniques, and turn his Saber Intent into the Law of the Saber.
• Su Yu asked Luo Yuan where he could find groups of demons or other prey, and she directed him to Hundred Ghosts Night Weeping Forest.
• Luo Yuan warned Su Yu that the forest held powerful demons and vengeful souls, and that her ancestor had marked its center as a place of great terror that must be avoided.
• Su Yu recognized the forest as a likely source of the fear he had sensed in the Saber King's final trace of emotion and learned it was one of the three main routes farther in.
• Su Yu strode toward the forest, and Luo Yuan realized he intended to investigate the forbidden terror rather than merely hunt demons.

Su Yu and Luo Yuan reached the Hundred Ghosts Night Weeping Forest, where Su Yu revealed his power by annihilating a swarm of Earth Realm demons with Myriad Tribulations Thunder Prison. Three stronger Heaven Realm demons arrived, and Su Yu subdued their demonic power with his Heavenly Dragon Sacred Power.

• Luo Yuan warned Su Yu that the forest’s resentment could erode the soul and prepared to fight, but Su Yu stopped her and claimed the demons as his own.
• Su Yu summoned Myriad Tribulations Thunder Prison and killed fifty-three Earth Realm demons, earning 885,000 slaughter points.
• The thunderstorm drew the Shadow Two-Headed Wolf, Skeleton Demon Ape, and Blood-Winged Bat King from deeper in the forest.
• Su Yu stirred his Heavenly Dragon Sacred Power, freezing the three Heaven Realm demons’ demonic power and filling them with terror.

Su Yu killed three Heaven Realm demons with perfected Saber Intent and Heavenly Dragon Sacred Power, then decided to seek ready-made inheritances in the Prison Suppression Forbidden Land instead of risking his Slaughter Points on a martial arts fusion. He asked Luo Yuan whether her ancestor’s notes mentioned a Heaven Realm movement technique fast enough to tear space apart.

• Su Yu slew the Shadow Two-Headed Wolf with a single slash, then destroyed the Skeleton Demon Ape and Blood-Winged Bat King in quick succession.
• The system awarded Su Yu 370,000 Slaughter Points, bringing his balance to 1,255,000.
• Su Yu considered fusing a Heaven Realm movement technique but chose to seek an existing inheritance in the forbidden land instead.
• Luo Yuan approached Su Yu, shocked by his display and recognizing his Saber Intent as the embryonic form of the Law of the Saber.
• Su Yu told Luo Yuan they would seek the main course and asked whether her ancestor’s notes mentioned a movement technique fast enough to tear space apart.

Su Yu and Luo Yuan crossed the deeper reaches of the Hundred Ghosts Night Weeping Forest, where Su Yu slaughtered powerful demons and vengeful souls to amass Slaughter Points. They reached a basin containing a chained dead tree and encountered the Enforcer, who denied Su Yu’s request for a peak-grade Heaven Realm movement technique inheritance.

• Luo Yuan told Su Yu that her ancestor’s notes mentioned three inheritance sites but no movement techniques, so Su Yu continued into the forest intending to create one himself.
• Su Yu killed waves of Heaven Realm demons and vengeful souls with single strikes while Luo Yuan followed and counted the fallen.
• Su Yu gained enough Slaughter Points to bring his balance to 2,885,000, then emerged with Luo Yuan into a basin containing a gigantic chained dead tree and a lifeless seated figure.
• The mysterious Enforcer appeared across the basin and warned Su Yu that his slaughter had disturbed the peace.
• Su Yu asked the Enforcer for an inheritance for a peak-grade Heaven Realm movement technique, but the Enforcer said none existed there.

Su Yu and Luo Yuan entered the Burial Ground’s central region after the enforcer directed them toward Thunder Marsh, where a King Realm cultivator had mastered the perfected Law of Thunder. There, Hei Sha ambushed them, boasting that the central region had no two-hour restriction as his law turned the surroundings into black water.

• The enforcer refused Su Yu’s request but told him Thunder Marsh lay at the southernmost tip of the central region and held a chance to find what he sought.

• Hei Sha appeared on their path with cultivation nearing Heaven Realm Sixth Stage and declared that he had been waiting for Su Yu.
• Hei Sha unleashed his law across a thousand zhang, turning the area into viscous black water, and vowed that no one would save Su Yu.

• Hei Yuan left after resolving to pursue information about Su Yu and noting that Luo Yuan would not escape.

• Su Yu spent one million Slaughter Points to extrapolate the technique and advanced his body refinement cultivation to the Heaven Realm First Level.

• Su Yu ordered Luo Yuan to guard him and activated Myriad Dharma Furnace to devour the first Twin Thunder Flood Dragon corpse.

• Su Yu spent one million Slaughter Points to comprehend Perfected Thunder Intent and sensed a King Realm inheritance deeper in the forbidden land.
• Su Yu turned to the stunned Luo Yuan and told her, "Let's go."

Su Yu fought the Heaven Realm Fifth Level Black Baleful Intent Scaled Lion to test his body, then spent one million Slaughter Points to advance the Scarlet Baleful Intent Wisdom King Body to major accomplishment.

• Luo Yuan recognized the alien and trembled in despair at the sight of the Thunderhorn Rhinoceros.

Su Yu battled Lei Yan, a Thunderhorn Rhinoceros guarding the entrance to Thunder Marsh, and revealed the overwhelming toughness of his body. He left Lei Yan shattered and unable to rise, then walked toward him.

• Luo Yuan recognized Lei Yan as a heaven realm fifth level peak Thunderhorn Rhinoceros, and Su Yu told her to retreat before charging him with his Scarlet Baleful Intent Wisdom King Body activated.
• Su Yu and Lei Yan clashed in a series of brutal hand-to-hand exchanges, with Su Yu gaining the advantage and unsettling Lei Yan with his strength and endurance.
