The group handled the wave without losses and spotted a level 160 Immortal-grade boss as the battle continued.

• Yan Hua Yi Leng and Breaking Waves Riding Wind cleared the seventh wave before the next wave arrived, while Yan Hua Yi Leng warned that the final waves might leave little time to spare.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng ordered Hei Bai Qi, Jian Ba, and half the knights to help defend the wall, and she coordinated the plan with Tiandi and Heavenly Battle Heroes.

• Breaking Waves Riding Wind spotted a giant Dark Demonic Stone Bat, and Yan Hua Yi Leng identified it as a level 160 Immortal-grade boss.

Misty Pavilion defeated the eighth wave’s boss at Luoshui Town’s east gate and recovered while preparing for the next wave. Their defense remained intact as Yan Hua Yi Leng traded barbs with Heavenly Battle Heroes, and the chapter ended with the group distributing the boss’s loot.

• Yan Hua Yi Leng reassured Tiandi that Misty Pavilion could hold the east gate, then pointed out that her guild had not lost anyone while Heavenly Battle Heroes had suffered casualties.

After the Dark Magic Stone Bat Leader dropped an Earth Knight necklace, the players learned that the Dark Demon King was leading a greatly strengthened monster assault on Luoshui Town. Allies and a powerful expert were coming to help, but the ninth wave’s Dark Demon Wolfmen threatened to overwhelm the defenders.

• The Dark Magic Stone Bat Leader dropped the Petrification Chain, and Hei Bai Qi let Jian Yi borrow it for the coming boss fights.
• The system announced that the Dark Demon King was heading for Luoshui Town with three times the usual number of monsters, whose attack power and speed were boosted while their defense was reduced.
• San Mei Shi noted that more than a hundred thousand city guards had mobilized, while Yan Hua Yi Leng explained that Luoshui Town had no Magic Crystal Cannons.
• The system announced that Wang Yue’s soldiers and Ling Xi and Ling Xin’s elves would teleport in to support the defense, followed by news that Six Paths Venerable Han Yue would arrive in two hours if the town held out.
• Zhi Yue scouted the ninth wave’s Level 160 Dark Demon Wolfmen, whose damage-focused skills, healing, and low-health transformation made them especially dangerous.

Misty Pavilion and its allies fought the ninth wave of Dark Demon Wolfmen while awaiting Six Paths Venerable Han Yue, suffering heavy losses as the monsters’ numbers and power strained their defenses. A Dark Demon Werewolf Commander arrived and boosted nearby wolfmen, and Ye Luo and Breaking Waves Riding Wind began attacking it as the tenth wave drew near.

• Yan Hua Yi Leng ordered the defenders to hold the city for two hours until Six Paths Venerable Han Yue arrived, and Wang Yue’s soldiers and the elves joined the defense.
• Ye Luo, Breaking Waves Riding Wind, Hei Bai Qi, and the other defenders fought the Dark Demon Wolfmen as casualties mounted and resurrection skills failed to work.
• Ling Xin and the elves arrived, while Yan Hua Yi Leng ordered the mobile forces to use their strongest attacks when the defenses came under greater pressure.

• Zhi Yue attacked the commander but could not lure it away, so Yan Hua Yi Leng sent Ye Luo and Breaking Waves Riding Wind to kill it.
• Ye Luo and Breaking Waves Riding Wind fought the level 170 Immortal Grade Boss, steadily reducing its health.

Ye Luo and the others killed the Dark Demon Werewolf Commander as the tenth wave of Necrotic Bone Eagles joined the assault on Luoshui Town. With the defenders suffering heavy casualties and breaches spreading, Yan Hua Yi Leng ordered a retreat behind the walls, which still had some durability left.

• Zhi Yue scouted the incoming Level 170 Necrotic Bone Eagles and found that they flew low, used physical attacks, and could weaken and bleed their targets.
• Ye Luo, Breaking Waves Riding Wind, and San Mei Shi killed the Dark Demon Werewolf Commander, then returned to help defend against the overlapping wolfmen and eagles.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng and Tiandi reported mounting losses, while Hero Sword offered to send reinforcements if needed.
• The monsters broke through several defensive lines and began attacking the city walls, prompting Zhi Yue, June Flying Snow, Breaking Waves Riding Wind, San Mei Shi, and Ye Luo to reinforce vulnerable sections.
• As breaches multiplied and the walls' durability fell, Yan Hua Yi Leng ordered a slow retreat into Luoshui Town; the surviving players and Wang Yue's soldiers withdrew while the monsters attacked the walls.

Misty Pavilion and the other defenders retreated through Luoshui Town as the monster waves breached its walls, trying to hold out until Six Paths Venerable arrived. Breaking Waves Riding Wind received the Immortal-grade Ring of the Wolfman, but Yan Hua Yi Leng warned that the wave’s boss and the Dark Demon King had yet to appear.

• Yan Hua Yi Leng ordered Misty Pavilion’s forces to retreat into Luoshui Town while Ye Luo and Breaking Waves Riding Wind attacked the pursuing monsters.
• After sections of the city walls collapsed, Zuo Shang Qin Xin identified threatened breaches and Breaking Waves Riding Wind sent Hei Bai Qi, Piao Miao Piao Ling, Jian Ba, and Jian Liu to hold them.
• The remaining walls fell as defenders suffered heavy losses, and the guilds retreated toward the Heart of the City while continuing to fight.
• Ye Luo revealed the Immortal-grade Ring of the Wolfman, which Breaking Waves Riding Wind took, while other dropped equipment went to Jian Liu, Jian Shi San, and Jian Shi.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng reminded everyone that the wave’s boss had not appeared and the Dark Demon King was approaching, making the group solemn.

As Luoshui Town’s defenders dwindled, Ye Luo, Breaking Waves Riding Wind, and Zhi Yue fought the tenth-wave Boss while other guilds tried to hold the line. Just as they stopped monsters from destroying the Heart of the City, a black figure accompanied by dragon roars rushed toward them, signaling the Dark Demon King’s arrival.

• Yan Hua Yi Leng ordered Ye Luo and the others to make room and confront the tenth-wave Boss before it could break into their formation.
• Breaking Waves Riding Wind, Ye Luo, and Zhi Yue engaged the level 180 Undead Bone Eagle Commander, while Tiandi’s group held back from stealing the Boss and saved their strength for the Dark Demon King.
• Ye Luo’s group held the Boss at bay as Luoshui Town’s remaining defenders fell to roughly three hundred thousand against several million monsters.
• Necrotic Bone Eagles slipped through Great Desert Lone Smoke’s line and attacked the Heart of the City, but Hero Sword and Heavenly Battle Heroes quickly killed them.
• A fast-moving black figure approached amid dragon roars, leaving the defenders to wonder whether the Dark Demon King was a Dragon Clan expert.

As Luoshui Town struggled to withstand the remaining monsters, Zhi Yue scouted the approaching Frost Giant Dragon and the level 235 Dark Demon King, both God Grade Bosses. Yan Hua Yi Leng rallied the survivors to clear the Bone Eagle Commander and intercept the bosses before they could reach the Heart of the City.

• Yan Hua Yi Leng reassured the defenders that reinforcements and Six Paths Venerable Han Yue might arrive before Luoshui Town fell, and Zhi Yue spotted a giant dragon carrying an even more powerful figure.
• The system announced that Dongfang Shitian and the Dongfang Family had defended Mingyue Town, then Dongfang Shitian taunted Breaking Waves Riding Wind and Yan Hua Yi Leng before Yan Hua Yi Leng challenged him to come help.
• Zhi Yue identified the dragon as a level 220 Frost Giant Dragon and the rider as a level 235 Dark Demon King, both God Grade Bosses whose attributes were mostly unknown.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng led her people to help kill the Undead Bone Eagle Commander and ordered the elves and Wang Yue's troops to hold back the remaining monsters while the players intercepted the bosses.
• Heavenly Grief objected that the players could not stop two such powerful bosses, but Yan Hua Yi Leng warned that the town would fall if they did not try and said she was recording the battle.

As Luoshui Town struggled to withstand the Dark Demon King’s attack, Yan Hua Yi Leng and the others raced to claim a Guild Creation Token dropped by the Undead Bone Eagle Commander. The fight for the token left Zhi Yue flying after it while Heavenly Battle Heroes tried to stop Misty Pavilion from taking it.

• Yan Hua Yi Leng judged that the Dark Demon King and Frost Giant Dragon were too strong to fight directly, so the defenders agreed to stall until Six Paths Venerable, Han Yue, arrived.
• As other towns completed their defenses, Luoshui Town remained under attack, and Heavenly Grief blamed Misty Pavilion for provoking the Dark Demon King before Tiandi ordered everyone to focus on defending the town.
• With the defenders’ help, Ye Luo and his group killed the Undead Bone Eagle Commander, which dropped a Guild Creation Token that both Misty Pavilion and Heavenly Battle Heroes rushed to seize.
• Zhan Tian Xia nearly reached the token, but Yan Hua Yi Leng struck it with three precise arrows, sending it high into the air for Zhi Yue to pursue.
• Heavenly Arrow missed when he tried to knock the token away, so Heavenly Calamity led Heavenly Battle Heroes members in a charge to interrupt Yan Hua Yi Leng.

Misty Pavilion seized the first Guild Creation Token and learned that its holder could not leave Luoshui Town or log off until the Home Defense mission ended. Xian Xian Yu Shou accepted responsibility for hiding the token while the others prepared to face the Dark Demon King.

• Yan Hua Yi Leng knocked the Guild Creation Token toward Zhi Yue, who flew up and claimed it before Heavenly Calamity and the others could interfere.
• Breaking Waves Riding Wind and Ye Luo confronted Tiandi, Great Desert Lone Smoke, and their allies, then San Mei Shi persuaded them to keep defending Luoshui Town.
• Zhi Yue handed the token to Breaking Waves Riding Wind, who chose Xian Xian Yu Shou to safeguard it while she hid from the battle.
• Xian Xian Yu Shou accepted the token after Breaking Waves Riding Wind affirmed her trust and reminded her of her wish to strengthen Misty Pavilion.
• The system announced that the first token was guaranteed to drop if its holder died and that Xian Xian Yu Shou could not leave Luoshui Town or log off before the mission ended.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng told Xian Xian Yu Shou to remain hidden even if the defense failed, and Xian Xian Yu Shou went to hide at the edge of town.

After Xian Xian Yu Shou obtained the first Guild Creation Token, major guilds tried to recruit her, but she rejected their offers and Misty Pavilion received congratulations from across the server. As the battle to defend Luoshui Town resumed, Yan Hua Yi Leng suggested that Breaking Waves Riding Wind and Ye Luo might be key to stopping the Dark Demon King.

• Xian Xian Yu Shou rejected the Dongfang Family's offer for her Guild Creation Token and asked Breaking Waves Riding Wind to reply with “Hehe.”
• Breaking Waves Riding Wind broadcast Xian Xian Yu Shou's message, and players from several guilds joked with one another while congratulating Misty Pavilion on obtaining the token.
• God of Wine Dukang congratulated Chengfeng and Yan Hua on the token while ordering Nü Er Hong, Yao Yue Ju Bei, and the others to finish collecting Gold Coins.
• Hei Bai Qi teased Ye Ling's compliments before charging at the Dark Demon King with Earth Shield active.
• The elves stopped Breaking Waves Riding Wind and Ye Luo from charging, and Yan Hua Yi Leng urged them toward Ling Xi and Ling Xin, saying they might be crucial to stopping the Dark Demon King.

Heavenly Battle Heroes and Misty Pavilion threw themselves against the Dark Demon King and Frost Giant Dragon to keep them from reaching Luoshui Town’s Heart of the City. As the bosses continued advancing and the defenders fell, Chang He Luo Ri sacrificed himself to protect June Flying Snow.

• Ye Luo and Breaking Waves Riding Wind rushed toward Ling Xi, Princess Ling Xin, and the others after hearing the elves wanted to see them.
• Heavenly Battle Heroes and Misty Pavilion sent players to attack the two bosses, but dragon breath and magic killed them while barely slowing the Dark Demon King.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng ordered paired attacks and used ice-infused Energy Arrows to slow the Frost Giant Dragon, while Hei Bai Qi protected her from its ice-sword attack.
• Hei Bai Qi, Jian Jiu, and other players repeatedly charged the bosses as the defenders suffered devastating casualties and the Dark Demon King drew close to the Heart of the City.
• Ban Ye Shu briefly bound the Frost Giant Dragon, but the Dark Demon King dispelled the bind, and the bosses attacked Ban Ye Shu, Heavenly Grief, and June Flying Snow.
• Chang He Luo Ri took the energy sphere meant for June Flying Snow and died, telling her he would not let anyone bully her.

The remaining players struggled to delay the Frost Giant Dragon and Dark Demon King while Ye Luo and Breaking Waves Riding Wind received buffs. Great Desert Lone Smoke used Magic Martial Transformation to fight the Frost Giant Dragon, while Zuo Shang Qin Xin immobilized the Dark Demon King, buying time for the others.

• The Dark Demon King killed June Flying Snow, Chang He Luo Ri, and the other players who had rushed forward to use control skills.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng called out Great Desert Lone Smoke for saving his powerful skills and sent San Mei Shi, Jian Qi, Tiandi, and Zhan Tian Xia to delay the bosses.
• Zuo Shang Qin Xin volunteered to control the Dark Demon King, and Zhi Yue used the Ice Fire Tiger Demon King to protect her while she charged Qin Yin Hua Mou.
• Great Desert Lone Smoke activated Magic Martial Transformation and attacked the Frost Giant Dragon, while Zuo Shang Qin Xin successfully immobilized the Dark Demon King for twenty seconds.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng told Zhi Yue to help Great Desert Lone Smoke endure until Breaking Waves Riding Wind and Ye Luo were ready to join the fight.

Ye Luo and Breaking Waves Riding Wind hurried to aid the fight against the Dark Demon King and Frost Giant Dragon, while Zhi Yue used Beast God Fusion to draw the Dark Demon King's attention. The temporary defenses began to run out as Great Desert Lone Smoke realized his transformation was nearly over.

• Breaking Waves Riding Wind and Ye Luo accepted buffs from Ling Xi, Ling Ye, and Ling Xin, then rushed toward the bosses while discussing how to handle the Frost Giant Dragon.
• The Dark Demon King recovered from Qin Yin Hua Mou and killed Zuo Shang Qin Xin, though Resurrection Prophecy remained active.
• Following Yan Hua Yi Leng's instructions, Zhi Yue fused with the Golden Winged Eagle King and drew the Dark Demon King's aggro with her attacks.
• Zhi Yue held off the Dark Demon King while Great Desert Lone Smoke fought the Frost Giant Dragon, and Ye Luo and Breaking Waves Riding Wind arrived nearby.
• After another two minutes passed, Great Desert Lone Smoke realized Magic Martial Transformation was nearly over and feared he could not survive the bosses' attacks without it.

After Great Desert Lone Smoke fell and Breaking Waves Riding Wind attacked from the Frost Giant Dragon’s back, the Dark Demon King discovered Ye Luo was a Reincarnator and tried to seize his Soul Crystal. Ye Luo fled north to preserve his profession, but Yan Hua Yi Leng feared his flight would not last long enough.

• The Dark Demon King’s area attack killed Great Desert Lone Smoke and left Zhi Yue critically wounded.
• Zhi Yue helped Breaking Waves Riding Wind jump onto the Frost Giant Dragon, where she attacked the Dark Demon King from behind.
• Ye Luo failed to reach the dragon’s back and attacked it from a distance, prompting the Dark Demon King to recognize his Reincarnator aura and reveal his plan to seize the Soul Crystal.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng warned Ye Luo to escape, and he used Reincarnation Guardian to survive the Dark Demon King’s claw attack before fleeing north.
• The Dark Demon King ignored Luoshui Town’s Heart of the City and chased Ye Luo, while Yan Hua Yi Leng and Zuo Shang Qin Xin worried he would lose his profession.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng warned that Ye Luo’s flight skill drained 10,000 MP per second and that he could not maintain it for long.

The Dark Demon King pursued Ye Luo to seize his Reincarnation Soul Crystal while Ye Luo exhausted his flight and recovery skills trying to escape. Six Paths Venerable Han Yue finally answered the Dark Demon King from afar, leaving the confrontation poised to begin.

• Yan Hua Yi Leng directed Breaking Waves Riding Wind to attack the Frost Giant Dragon's wings while the others stayed behind to help.

• Ye Luo used Eight Trigrams Spring three times to restore his mana and keep flying, while the Dark Demon King taunted him and demanded his Soul Crystal.
• Six Paths Venerable Han Yue's voice reached Ye Luo and frightened the Dark Demon King, who recognized her as the strongest human expert.

Six Paths Venerable Han Yue arrived and killed the Dark Demon King, then healed and subdued the Frost Giant Dragon. As Han Yue offered the group skills as compensation, Ye Luo sensed that his jade pendant connected her to Pound’s missing daughter.
