Xue Wei’s assault on Dragon City was repeatedly stopped by its layered Protective Grand Array, while Lu Ye used the River of Time and Sequence to send newly advanced Dragon Race Half-Saints to reinforce the defense. With the third and final layer holding, the Dragon Sovereign and Lu Ye prepared to find a way to confront the attackers before the barrier fell.

• Xue Wei attacked the Dragon Sovereign, but the second layer of Dragon City's Protective Grand Array blocked her spear, so she withdrew and waited with Xing Zhou for the barrier to fail.
• Lu Ye sent a newly advanced Dragon Race Half-Saint out of the River of Time and Sequence, then dispatched more than a dozen over the next three days to strengthen the defense.
• The second-layer barrier held for three and a half days before Xue Wei attacked again, only to be stopped by Dragon City's third layer of protection.
• Xue Wei's Puppet Half-Saints destroyed the remaining outer districts, leaving only the city core, where more than thirty Dragon Race Half-Saints reinforced the final barrier.
• The Dragon Sovereign told Lu Ye the third layer could hold for six or seven more days, and Lu Ye said that should be enough.
• Lu Ye and the Dragon Sovereign considered the need to launch a counterattack, but they still lacked a plan for dealing with Xue Wei, Fei, Ming Feng, and the other enemy Half-Saints.

Lu Ye accelerated the Dragon Race experts’ cultivation in his Inner Realm until nearly a hundred became Half-Saints, giving Dragon City enough strength to confront the invading forces. As the city’s defenses neared collapse, the Dragon Sovereign ordered the battle to begin, and the Dragon Race Half-Saints rushed out to fight the Puppet Half-Saints.

• The Dragon Sovereign warned Lu Ye that Dragon City’s third Protective Grand Array could hold for only about another day, so Lu Ye prepared to begin the battle.
• Lu Ye gave up trying to perfect the Shared Breath, Connected Branches Dao Pattern, which could not support a fight between Half-Saints.
