Gui Mei linked the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association to the Water Cloud Sect’s search for the same sect, leaving Lin Hao wary of how much Spirit Hall had uncovered.

They agreed to exchange information for the Fire Leopard Sect’s safety and its traitor list, and Tu Shan Hong Hong then made a request to Lin Hao.

After learning the Water Cloud Sect had moved its hidden realm, Lin Hao relied on spies and the Yun Family to find a way to track it down without exposing Cai Lin.

• Lin Hao, Tu Shan Hong Hong, and Long Xiaoyao arrived as the branch Yun Family's surviving Soul Saint confronted the Yin Family.
• Long Xiaoyao and Cai Lin sensed that three Water Cloud Sect Soul Douluos had recently gained unstable, godlike power.
• The three Soul Douluos attacked the Yin Family, and Long Xiaoyao's Dark Dragon Shield stopped their strikes.
• An unknown person blasted the shield aside and urged the three Soul Douluos to scatter and escape.
• Cai Lin enveloped the fleeing Soul Douluos in a gentle breeze and said the bait had been set.

Lin Hao led a formidable force to the Water Cloud Sect’s newly relocated secret realm after Cai Lin located it. As the sect’s guards realized the three returning Soul Douluo had led an unknown enemy to their doorstep, Yun Anlan sensed the threat of a Limit Douluo.

• Cai Lin found the Water Cloud Sect’s secret realm, and Lin Hao ordered his forces to gather and move out.

• The three Water Cloud Sect Soul Douluo opened the secret realm’s entrance and encountered Yun Anlan, who questioned why they had returned.
• The three Soul Douluo claimed they had escaped a trap involving a Limit Douluo, and Yun Anlan realized they had unknowingly led an enemy to the sect.
• An unidentified voice interrupted Yun Anlan, who recognized that the newcomers were not from the Flame God Sect and sensed a terrifying threat.

Long Xiaoyao and his allies attacked the Water Cloud Sect Secret Realm to help spies inside break its Sect Protecting Formation and reach the Flame God Inheritance Spirit Fire. Yun Anlan escaped into the formation as the Water Cloud Sect’s Grand Elder emerged with eleven Titled Douluo to confront the attackers.

• Yun Anlan used a sealed strike from the Grand Elder to cover his flight into the secret realm, while Long Xiaoyao destroyed the token and killed the three Soul Douluo who tried to delay him.
• Long Xiaoyao led his allies deeper into the Water Cloud Sect Secret Realm, where Cai Lin’s preparations had cleared their path and spies were working to break the formation from within.
• Long Xiaoyao unleashed nine dragon-shaped Soul Power waves toward the sect buildings to clear the area, test the Sect Protecting Formation, and buy time for the spies.
• Yu Tuo brought Yun Anlan inside the Sect Protecting Formation just before the nine waves struck, but the formation withstood the attack as villages and ordinary members outside it were destroyed.
• The Blue Robed Old Man, revealed as the Water Cloud Sect’s Grand Elder, emerged with eleven Titled Douluo, and Gui Mei and the other Spirit Hall members realized he could match Long Xiaoyao.
• Long Xiaoyao mocked the Grand Elder as he and his allies maintained their apparent numerical disadvantage, setting a trap for the Water Cloud Sect.

Long Xiaoyao and his allies attacked the Water Cloud Sect after revealing that they had anticipated the sect’s defenses and hidden reinforcements nearby. Their ambush killed one of the sect’s Titled Douluo, while Yun Kun escaped into the Sect Protecting Formation.

• Yun Kun and Yu Tuo taunted Long Xiaoyao, while the chapter revealed how the Water Cloud Sect had deceived the Rain God to gain power and relocate its secret realm.
• Long Xiaoyao gave the signal, and Tu Shan Hong Hong, Yan Lingji, Gui Mei, and the others launched a coordinated assault on the Water Cloud Sect.
• Yun Shan fought Long Xiaoyao with his divine artifact as Yun Kun and Yu Tuo engaged Tu Shan Hong Hong and Gui Mei.
• Jin Peng, Titan, Tian Qing, Wang Yiheng, Cheng Gang, Xian Lin'er, and Cai Meier emerged from hiding and attacked the sect’s seven Titled Douluo.
• Tu Shan Hong Hong and Xian Lin'er helped kill one of the sect’s allies, and Yun Kun fled into the Sect Protecting Formation while they pursued him.

Yun Shan withdrew the Water Cloud Sect behind its Sect Protecting Formation and planned to contact the Rain God while investigating suspected traitors. Lin Hao then ordered the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association to bombard the formation with thirty-six Rank Eight Soul Tools, leaving the sect under mounting pressure as its spiritual veins were drained.

• Yun Shan retreated into the Sect Protecting Formation after the ambush killed six Water Cloud Sect Titled Douluo, and Long Xiaoyao demanded information, resources, and Yun Kun and Yu Tuo as compensation.
• Yun Shan refused to attack because the formation would consume too much Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, ordered Yun Kun to guard its core, and began investigating possible traitors while planning to contact the Rain God.
• Lin Hao told Cai Lin to wait and watch for the Water Cloud Sect's trump cards, then had Tu Shan Hong Hong bring out thirty-six giant cannons.
• Lin Hao ordered the cannons to fire, and their repeated attacks battered the Sect Protecting Formation and destroyed the sect's farmlands, herb fields, and beast gardens.
• Yun Kun and the other elders saw the formation's energy rapidly depleting and warned that concentrated cannon fire combined with a Limit Douluo could breach it.

Lin Hao explained the Metal Giant Cannons’ power and refused Gui Mei’s implied request to acquire them, while considering the consequences of Cai Lin’s intervention. In the God Realm, the five members of the God Realm Committee gathered to discuss the Rain God’s request to save Water Cloud Sect.

• Yun Kun took Yu Tuo to the Sect Altar after reassuring the sect members, and they believed the Grand Elder had contacted the Rain God.
• Gui Mei asked Lin Hao about the Metal Giant Cannons, and Lin Hao explained their strength before refusing to distribute them.

• Lin Hao learned that Cai Lin had found traces of Sun Moon Continent and that his subordinates were opening a safe passage between the continents.
• The God Realm Committee gathered after the Rain God asked the Evil God for permission to intervene and save Water Cloud Sect.

The God of Destruction proposed letting the Rain God descend to Douluo Continent, but the Asura God opposed the plan and revealed the Rain God’s role in the First Generation Flame God’s downfall. The chapter ended with the Asura God explaining that the Flame God’s Nine Revolutions Nirvana Method could restore her godhood and produce a powerful group of gods.

• The God of Destruction asked the other gods to let the Rain God intervene in Douluo Continent, citing her endangered inherited sect and the sealed Abyss passage.
• The Asura God rejected the request, arguing that gods must not interfere in lower-realm affairs and warning that divine power could devastate the lower realms.
• The God of Destruction called for a vote, but the Asura God insisted that all the gods be informed because the matter was too consequential for the five of them to decide alone.
• The Life Goddess urged the God of Destruction to be patient, and the Asura God said the Rain God’s motives and history made the situation more complicated than it appeared.
• The Asura God revealed that the Rain God had ambushed the First Generation Flame God, shattered her godhood, and absorbed the fragments, leaving the Flame God with only second-class strength.
• The Asura God explained that the First Generation Flame God developed the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Method to repair her godhood through nine generations of inheritance, potentially creating powerful gods and advancing the God Realm.
