  • Liu initially uses the Golden Dragon Heaven-Suppressing City as a defensive barrier, but the relentless insect swarms gradually crack and destroy it.
  • Rather than retreat, Liu activates the Immovable Vajra Body and the technique “Heaven and Earth Still: Guard the Mortal World.” Strengthened by the divine wishes of his Heavenly Charter Divine Kingdom, his defense withstands the countless insect kings.
  • Once the entire insect tide has gathered around him, Liu withdraws his defense and unleashes the Solar Body, producing tens of millions of suns that transform into Golden Crows.
  • His solar essence fire, combined with the specialized insect-burning flame Void Final Ash, incinerates vast numbers of insect kings and inflicts catastrophic losses on the Three Insect Realm. Liu mockingly calls the massacre a “full insect banquet.”
  • Blood Cicada Son of Heaven, enraged and frightened, draws on the blood, vitality, and divine wishes of his citizens. He launches “Six Insects Slaughter Myriad Worlds, Great Dao Heavy Strike.”
  • Vermilion Bird Young Master arrives and joins the attack, empowered by the citizens and divine officials of five domains. He unleashes “Vermilion Bird Six Domains Slaughter, Great Dao Heavy Strike.”
  • Liu blocks both devastating attacks with the cosmic-class Mad Dragon Cauldron, shocking the watching gods because such an artifact surpasses the world-class treasures normally seen in the White Crane Realm.

  • Both antagonists demonstrate the importance of inherited bloodlines, divine citizens, and world-based power, but their reliance on these resources also exposes their desperation once Liu surpasses them.
