• Xiao Tianyang told the soldiers to rest and strengthen themselves before connecting the Space Coordinates the next day, while Esdeath opened a case of scarlet potion.

Xiao Tianyang prepared potions, fed the army, and explained the plan to connect the Primitive Plane with Douluo Continent. He left ahead of the troops to check whether the Queen had begun to revive before attempting the plan’s final link alone.

• Xiao Tianyang planned to prevent the Queen from recovering and complete the final link himself.

Xiao Tianyang descended into the Sky Pit to establish the Guidance Device while the Queen remained bound by his seal and the Nine Cauldrons of Huaxia. The Queen rejected his offer to take her to a larger world and proposed that the winner of their fight decide the Primitive Plane’s fate.

• Xiao Tianyang’s special physical energy and a trace of Heavenly Dao Power extended his suppression of the Queen by one day, giving him time to reach the Sky Pit.
• Xiao Tianyang arrived at the Sky Pit and jumped in, intending to set up the Guidance Device at its bottom despite the Queen’s home-ground advantage.
• After falling for more than ten minutes through the Sky Pit’s restrictive environment, Xiao Tianyang reached the bottom and found the Queen bound by nine energy chains linked to the Nine Cauldrons of Huaxia.
• Xiao Tianyang offered to take the Queen to a larger world and said they could coexist peacefully, but the Queen refused.
• The Queen proposed that if she defeated Xiao Tianyang, he would leave, and if she lost, he could decide everything in the Primitive Plane.

Xiao Tianyang fought the Queen at the Sky Pit, using his powers and equipment against her Plane Authority and spear. As the battle continued, Yue Fei and his allies hurried toward the Sky Pit while a vast Beast Tide converged there for the Queen’s purpose: sacrifice, or “return.”

• The Queen broke free from her chains without injury, forcing Xiao Tianyang to unleash the vitality he had gained in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Xiao Tianyang and the Queen traded powerful attacks, each suffering severe injuries that their abilities rapidly suppressed or healed.
• The Queen attacked Xiao Tianyang with crystal spikes and a giant-form spear strike, but he countered and sent her flying back.
• Yue Fei, the Silver Dragon King, Esdeath, and the squad leaders left the army under the Vice Squad Leaders’ command and rushed toward the Sky Pit.
• Beasts from across the Primitive Plane converged on the Sky Pit, not to aid the Queen but to fulfill her purpose of sacrifice, which she called returning.

Xiao Tianyang fought the Queen at the bottom of the Sky Pit while she secretly prepared to harvest the plane’s life force and use the beasts to sustain herself. Yue Fei and the others remained unaware of her plan as the battle continued and Xiao Tianyang’s situation grew more dangerous.

• The Queen planned to drain the plane’s living beings to fuel her combat power, while Yue Fei and the others continued protecting the Guidance Device and City Number One.
• Xiao Tianyang realized the Queen was preparing an ultimate move but could not warn Yue Fei because communication was blocked at the bottom of the Sky Pit.
• The Queen told Xiao Tianyang that all was fair in war and attacked him with her spear, while he retreated and tried to keep her at a distance with blade strikes.
• The Queen broke through Xiao Tianyang’s blade net and landed a punch that dazed him, but his necklace shattered to clear his head.
• Xiao Tianyang launched a powerful descending strike with [Void Blade], but the Queen met him with her spear and sent him flying.

Yue Fei and the others struggled to hold back the Beast Tide while the Queen overwhelmed Xiao Tianyang, leaving the Guidance Device as their only hope. When reinforcements arrived, Yue Fei ordered them to move toward his position despite the danger, without treating their lives as expendable.

• Esdeath used her freezing abilities and rapier to fight through the beasts, while Gao Chong, Sky Lion, and Yue Fei struggled to keep the tide away from the Guidance Device.
• Yue Fei concluded that the beasts were being controlled by the Queen and that the device was still safe because she had focused on Xiao Tianyang.
• Xiao Tianyang was badly suppressed by the Queen, while the activated Guidance Device and the Douluo Continent's Plane Spirit began their slow response.
• The reinforcements reached the area near the Sky Pit but faced an ocean of beasts between them and Yue Fei's group.
• Yue Fei told Sky Lion to fire a signal flare and direct the troops toward their position, despite the danger of the crossing.

Yue Fei ordered the army to assemble and charge through the sea of beasts, accepting the risk that their actions would attract the Queen’s attention. When the charge stalled, Sky Lion proposed a way to open a breach, and Yue Fei offered to help him.

• Yue Fei argued that the army had to act before the Queen discovered the Guidance Device, since Xiao Tianyang’s survival was essential to the Tianwu Dynasty.
• The Legion Commanders agreed, and two signal flares ordered the army to assemble at a designated point.
• Guan Ling, Yan Chengfang, and Luo Yanqing’s Vice Squad Leaders formed a charging Battle Formation, and Guan Ling led the charge into the beasts.
• The charge barely affected the sea of beasts, so Sky Lion proposed concentrating his power to open a path for the army.
• Yue Fei approved Sky Lion’s plan and offered to replace Esdeath in helping him tear open a breach.

Xiao Tianyang activated his unfinished third combat form, releasing the demon and god of slaughter within him to fight the Queen. With ten minutes before the two wills drove him berserk, he prepared to test whether the form could defeat her.

• Xiao Tianyang dodged the Queen’s spear attack, but both sensed a sudden change in the battle.
• Xiao Tianyang transformed as the two parasitic wills took control of his body, and he warned the Queen that she had ten minutes to defeat him.

• Xiao Tianyang wielded the [Void Blade] and [God Slaying Demon Spear] as the Queen vowed to defeat him before time ran out.

Yue Fei and the others fortified their position and debated how to protect the Guidance Device while it pulled Xiao Tianyang’s plan forward. As Yue Fei considered keeping the device near the Sky Pit, a sudden rupture split the sky.

• Yue Fei and the others regrouped with the army, dug fortifications, and used frozen beast corpses to build an Ice Wall while Sky Lion recovered from exhaustion.
• The Silver Dragon King warned that activating the Guidance Device would expose their plan and bring overwhelming pressure upon both their forces and Xiao Tianyang.
• Esdeath proposed moving the Guidance Device to a spatial rift or the Outer Domain, but the Silver Dragon King explained the risks and constraints.
• Yue Fei proposed floating the Guidance Device above the Sky Pit, but the Silver Dragon King judged that their defenses could not protect it for the full duration of the pull.
• The ground shook, and the sky appeared to split apart above the Sky Pit.

Xiao Tianyang used his ultimate attack to fracture the terrain around the Sky Pit, giving Yue Fei and the others a safer defensive position while disrupting the Queen’s recovery. After restraining the Queen and replenishing his strength with stolen life force, he offered her another choice.

• Xiao Tianyang’s attack split the ground around the Sky Pit, narrowing the routes Yue Fei and the others needed to defend and preventing the Queen from reclaiming the beasts’ life force.
• Xiao Tianyang used Extreme of Martial Arts—Gaze to solidify the Queen’s unstable form, then attacked her with the [Void Blade] and [God Slaying Demon Spear].
• Xiao Tianyang invoked the Dragon Seal and bound the Queen with chains, but he collapsed after exhausting his strength and releasing his third state.
• The Queen began breaking free, but Xiao Tianyang drew in nearby life force with the [Infinity Gauntlet] and rapidly restored his health and Energy Slots.
• Xiao Tianyang asked the Queen to reconsider his proposal and said he could offer her a second choice, while she judged that escaping would not change the outcome.

Xiao Tianyang tried to recruit the Queen by offering her a role as curator of the Great Library, but she refused and attacked him again. Above the Sky Pit, Yue Fei prepared to activate the Guidance Device while the defenders held back the overwhelming beast horde.

• The Queen realized Xiao Tianyang could match her Infinite State, exploit the Sky Pit, and recover his strength, leaving their battle in an endless loop that favored him.
• Xiao Tianyang explained that he wanted to recruit the Queen as curator of the Great Library because her detached nature made her a suitable guardian for its priceless knowledge.

• Yue Fei assigned Sky Lion and the Silver Dragon General to defend the city while he and General Esdeath prepared to activate the Guidance Device and summon reinforcements.

• Xiao Tianyang gave the Queen a handbook of the dynasty’s laws and left the rest to Yue Shen, confident that Yue Fei and Gao Chong could control her.

With the Primitive Plane fusing into Douluo Continent, Xiao Tianyang left Yue Shen in charge of the aftermath and returned with the army. Yue Shen organized cleanup and security while a mysterious silver streak escaped from the Sky Pit toward the crack in the sky.

• Xiao Tianyang explained that the Primitive Plane would merge intact with Douluo Continent and left to guard against an attack from the Elemental Kingdom.

Yan Lingji and Duanmu Rong arranged to conceal his condition and stabilize his injuries, while Xiao He received a secret letter and summoned Yue Fei.

• Xiao Tianyang collapsed at Qiankun Palace, and Duanmu Rong discovered that two-thirds of the flesh and blood inside him had necrosed.

The chapter ended with Xiao Tianyang considering Yue Fei’s costly proposal for brutal legion competitions and combat rewards.
