Liu Ruyi and Liang Chengjun’s forces pressed their attacks while drawing the Elemental Kingdom’s fire away from Xiao Tianyang. At the forward command post, the commander learned that Xiao Tianyang had reached Venerable Level strength, then watched the video feed fail as Xiao Tianyang transformed into a towering, dragon-tailed warrior wielding a colossal flaming saber.

Xiao Tianyang confronted Kama while Douluo Continent forces advanced into the Elemental Kingdom, serving as groundwork for Liu Ruyi’s plan. The God of Death Missiles were concentrated on an unseen operative whose mission was declared essential to the continent’s safety and the Martial King’s honor.

• Xiao Tianyang taunted Kama with his forty-meter blade, while Kama weighed the danger of attacking him and recognized that his forces could not easily commit their strongest fighters.
• Xiao Tianyang’s understanding of Limit Douluo cultivation and energy refinement explained why the Elemental Kingdom’s strongest combatants were often absent from the battlefield.
• Dozens of Limit Douluo and more than three hundred Divine Might soldiers emerged from the passage rift and charged south.
• Liu Ruyi’s plan used the three teams as groundwork, while an unseen operative carried the concentrated God of Death Missiles, including the Annihilation Grade missiles.
• The operative vowed that the mission had to succeed for the safety of Douluo Continent and the Martial King’s honor.

Liu Ruyi’s plan sent the Shadow Demon behind the Elemental Kingdom’s lines with three Annihilation Grade God of Death Missiles, while Xiao Tianyang drew the enemy’s strongest fighters toward himself. After the Shadow Demon received new coordinates, Xiao Tianyang unleashed a devastating attack on Kama’s encirclement.

• Liu Ruyi’s four-part plan had Xiao Tianyang and the others clear the passage area, draw enemy forces in different directions, and send the Shadow Demon to destroy the space-element war machines.
• The Shadow Demon planted modified God of Death Missiles at enemy weapon depots and resource sites before Xiao Tianyang sent him new coordinates.
• The Shadow Demon followed Xiao Tianyang’s instruction to head northeast, then turn south toward the war machines’ predicted position.
• Xiao Tianyang prepared to face Kama and her hidden allies, saying he had waited long enough for them to attack.
• Xiao Tianyang used Sword Sweeps the Eight Directions, shattering the encirclement and forcing Kama’s powerful allies out of hiding.

King Tianquan assessed Xiao Tianyang’s attack and ordered the Elementalists to keep him pinned down while King Henghe prepared new fortifications. Kama suspected Xiao Tianyang had a larger plan and doubted they could defeat him, even with King Tianquan present.

• Kama warned King Tianquan that Xiao Tianyang and his companions seemed to have objectives beyond destruction.
• King Tianquan explained that King Henghe could reach the entrance in five or six minutes and gather troops to build fortifications.
• King Tianquan ordered the Elementalists to join forces against Xiao Tianyang, but to hold their position until the fortifications were ready if they could not defeat him.
• Kama worried that King Tianquan was overlooking the danger and feared Xiao Tianyang’s strange behavior pointed to a terrifying plan.

Xiao Tianyang attacked King Tianquan before he could finish speaking, then fought Kama and exploited his weakness. The battle continued as Kama was sent flying by Xiao Tianyang’s shield.

• King Tianquan confronted Xiao Tianyang and questioned whether he could control his flames, while Kama worried that speaking against him would only bring trouble.
• Xiao Tianyang suddenly used the Great Wind Palm Seal and smashed King Tianquan into the ground.
• Kama warned the others that Xiao Tianyang wielded wind elements, then attacked him with Reverse Storm.
• Xiao Tianyang dodged Kama’s attack, found his weakness with the Ancient Divine Eyes, and struck him with Immortal From Beyond The Heavens.
• Kama asked how Xiao Tianyang had found his weakness before the Hurricane Shield shattered and Xiao Tianyang’s Liu Ding Liu Jia Shield sent him flying.

Xiao Tianyang fought King Tianquan after injuring him, while Kama was left vulnerable amid the flames. As King Tianquan unleashed his flame sea and pressed the attack, Xiao Tianyang dodged and weighed whether to escape or test his limits.

• King Tianquan ignited the surrounding wind elements, unaware that his flames were worsening Kama’s already grievous injuries.
• King Tianquan’s Netherworld Ghost Claw shattered Xiao Tianyang’s outer barrier and sent him flying, while Xiao Tianyang noticed the pale green mark on King Tianquan’s forehead.
• Xiao Tianyang decided to avoid King Tianquan’s attacks, then used his unstable void travel to reappear a thousand meters away and evade a flaming tentacle.
• King Tianquan summoned a vast sea of pale white flames and attacked Xiao Tianyang with its tentacles, while Xiao Tianyang considered how to escape or fight back.
• Xiao Tianyang continued dodging King Tianquan’s fierce assault as he searched for a way out and considered testing the limits of his strength.

Xiao Tianyang used the incomplete Decoy Bubble to store the damage he suffered, then unleashed Emperor Flame against King Tianquan. He followed with a rapid Slide Step attack as King Tianquan dodged.

• Xiao Tianyang realized that injuring his powerful opponent before the battle could make the fight more manageable and recalled a peculiar item.

• Xiao Tianyang transformed his flames into Demonic Fire Lava and hurled a fist of magma at King Tianquan, who dodged it.
• Xiao Tianyang used Slide Step to close in on King Tianquan with a fast, short-range burst.

Xiao Tianyang endured King Tianquan’s soul-seizing attack and used [Decoy Bubble] to ignore its pain, letting him strike back with [Emperor Flame]. King Tianquan was badly wounded, but an attack from another elemental wielder gave the others a chance to rescue him.

• King Tianquan used Netherworld Soul Seize to attack Xiao Tianyang’s soul while enduring a Sacred Fire Palm Seal.
• Protected by [Decoy Bubble], Xiao Tianyang ignored the pain and let his instincts guide his counterattack.
• Xiao Tianyang ignited his inner fire and detonated the [Emperor Flame] inside King Tianquan, tearing open his chest and cracking his limbs.
• An unseen attacker fired Corrosive Arrow at Xiao Tianyang, forcing him to retreat and creating an opening for the other Venerable Level elemental wielders to rescue King Tianquan.

Xiao Tianyang’s attack left King Tianquan gravely injured, and a Green Fire elemental wielder treated him while King Tianquan chose to keep fighting for the chance to obtain [Emperor Flame]. Xiao Tianyang moved to stop the recovery, but several elemental wielders swarmed him and held him back.

• A Green Fire elemental wielder dragged King Tianquan away, removed sparks from his wounds, and healed his superficial injuries with Healing Fire.
• The Green Fire wielder said he could suppress at most sixty percent of King Tianquan’s injuries, with a prolonged weakness as a possible consequence.
• King Tianquan rejected retreat, asked for his injuries to be suppressed, and promised the Green Fire wielder two favors and his future protection.
• Xiao Tianyang decided to press his advantage before King Tianquan recovered, but several elemental wielders rushed in and entangled him.

Xiao Tianyang overwhelmed the Elemental Envoys and fought King Tianquan while Liu Ruyi's plan culminated in three Annihilation Grade God of Death Missiles devastating a region of the Elemental Continent. With his objective accomplished and the Elemental Kingdom's ruler likely to respond, Xiao Tianyang escaped through unstable space, leaving King Tianquan unable to pursue him.

• Xiao Tianyang used the [Eastern Emperor Bell] to expel elements and magic, then defeated the Elemental Envoys with his physical strength.
• Xiao Tianyang attacked the recovering King Tianquan with the Great Sun Tathagata Seal, and King Tianquan countered with a sea of fire and his pale-white skeleton.
• Liu Ruyi's plan reached its final stage as three Annihilation Grade God of Death Missiles exploded, devastating a vast region of the Elemental Continent.
• Xiao Tianyang blasted the skeleton away and destabilized space, deciding to withdraw before another Heavenly King Level powerhouse arrived.
• Xiao Tianyang escaped through gaps in the unstable space while King Tianquan roared and failed to break through the spatial blockade.

Xiao Tianyang left King Tianquan behind and hurried toward the passage back to Douluo Continent, knowing that the Elemental Kingdom and other enemies would target him if they discovered his presence. Near the passage, he found that the route was blocked by new defenses and a powerful presence, forcing Liu Ruyi’s retreat plan to a halt.

• Xiao Tianyang abandoned his fight with King Tianquan because staying in the Elemental Kingdom risked drawing powerful enemies to him.
• Xiao Tianyang recalled how he had disrupted the plans of the Elemental Kingdom, the Sea of Ten Thousand Evils, and the Void Creatures, all of which had reason to eliminate him.
• Xiao Tianyang detected a concealed, powerful aura near the passage to Douluo Continent and stopped to question Liu Ruyi and the others.
• Liu Ruyi explained that new defensive fortifications had appeared at the entrance after they used the Spatial Buoy to teleport back.
• Liu Ruyi said she sensed a presence stronger than any known cultivator on Douluo Continent, leaving her worried that the plan’s crucial retreat route was blocked.

Xiao Tianyang considered Liu Ruyi’s decision to advance the plan and weighed her performance against Yue Shen’s, while You Mingyue and Su Ziming explained why the risky move had been reasonable. He then reviewed Liu Ruyi’s academic record and her role in creating Soul Power Crystals and building the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

• Liu Ruyi confirmed that advancing the plan had been intended to draw out the person inside, and You Mingyue and Su Ziming explained the timing and strategic advantages of the decision.
• Xiao Tianyang reflected that, despite not blaming Liu Ruyi, he might favor Yue Shen for future important tasks after comparing their performances.
• Xiao Tianyang considered the resources behind Liu Ruyi’s influence, including the Black Market, Soul Power Crystals, and their rare ingredients.
• Xiao Tianyang recalled Liu Ruyi’s broad studies at Shenwu Academy and her strong results in the Combat System, Mechanical Engineering, and Magic Alchemy.
• Liu Ruyi declined invitations from Shenwu Academy and the Shenwu Research Institute, persuaded Guoguo and Tuantuan, and took over the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

Xiao Tianyang recalled Liu Ruyi’s influence through the Black Market and decided the current predicament mattered more than assigning blame. He ordered the others to wait for his signal while preparing to attack the defensive fortifications, deliberately keeping Liu Ruyi from offering her apparent backup plan.

• Xiao Tianyang remembered that Liu Ruyi’s Black Market controlled valuable trade and strengthened her connections among the continent’s top experts.
• Su Ziming and You Mingyue supported Liu Ruyi because they believed Xiao Tianyang would not blame her for the plan’s failure.
• Xiao Tianyang concluded that rushed preparation and other circumstances had made the plan harder than the earlier battle in the Demon Forest.
• Xiao Tianyang told the others to wait for his signal and prepared to charge the defensive fortifications.
• Xiao Tianyang hid his real reasoning behind his visible frustration so Liu Ruyi and the others would not stop his attack.
