• Pawa recognized Xiluo streaking through the clouds, and the allied dragons, humans, and Descenders took heart as he entered the battle.

• Xiluo used the Dragon Soul Orb to challenge Lance Tiamat in the Dragon Soul Arena, but the ancient red dragon defeated him again.
• Xiluo unlocked the Earth Thunder Dragon bloodline and raised it to 70%, gaining substantial level and template progress while his body grew stronger.

• The Tidal Titans decided to use repeated tsunamis against Niro City rather than fight Xiluo and the elves directly.

Xiluo and the elves, Dragons, Pawa’s classmates, Water Elements, and Niro City’s self-taught Spellcasters struggled to stop a massive tsunami summoned by the Tidal Titans before it destroyed the Outer City.

• Xiluo spotted a much larger Tidal Titan army summoning a tsunami with an azure orb and realized he could not safely attack them at sea.

• The Elf Queen returned with more Elves and Spellcasters, and their combined frost magic froze the tsunami; the Tidal Titan leader then withdrew with the Giants after taunting Xiluo.

After the second tsunami was stopped, Xiluo learned that the Tidal Titans lived north of Niro City and concluded that the city’s subjects would need to evacuate because his allies could not safely fight the Titans at sea. He proposed moving eight million subjects into Abyssal Hell and warned Niro City that further tsunamis were likely, leaving its people frightened and pleading for his help.

• Xiluo and the Elf Queen agreed that the Tidal Titans could not be defeated underwater without enormous risk and resources, so Niro City’s subjects would have to be moved.
• The Elf Queen revealed that the Titans belonged to the Ted clan, led by Bakela Ted, whose territory lay roughly 300 kilometers north of Niro City.
• Xiluo rejected moving the subjects to World Tree Island and proposed taking them into Abyssal Hell, saying he had a way to slow its corrupting effects.
• Xiluo returned to Niro City and told its subjects that the Titans would keep sending tsunamis as long as the city remained in place.
• Xiluo explained that even the dragons and elves could not fight the Titans effectively in the sea, and the subjects panicked and begged him to save them.

• Dragons and Descenders recognized the meteorite as Xiluo’s retaliation, and it plunged into the sea near the Tidal Titans.

Xiluo retaliated against the Tidal Titans by dropping meteorites into the sea, killing thirteen Titans and scattering their forces. The surviving Titans moved near Niro City, hoping Xiluo would be unable to attack them without endangering his own city.

• Xiluo's meteorite struck the Tidal Titans' banquet, unleashing a tsunami that devastated the Sharil Archipelago and killed eight Titans who were below Legendary.
• The surviving Tidal Titans confronted Xiluo, who mocked them and warned that he would drop more meteorites.
• The Tidal Titans waited for their scattered kin and servants, then hid in the deep sea to evade further attacks.
• Xiluo transformed into an ocean creature, tracked the Titans to their hiding place, and dropped another meteorite, killing five more Titans.
• The Tidal Titans decided to use Niro City as protection and led their forces toward the waters near the city.

Xiluo helped stop another Tidal Titan tsunami, then rushed to Abyssal Hell when demons threatened Niro City's evacuated subjects. He arrived just as Gordon and the defenders were struggling against two legendary demons, and unleashed a lightning attack that devastated the demon forces.

• Xiluo watched for another tsunami while Niro City continued evacuating its subjects.
• The Tidal Titans sent another tsunami toward Niro City, but the Elf Queen and her prepared forces froze it before it reached the city.

• Lawrence arrived and recognized Xiluo and Gordon, then marveled at how much they had grown in eight or nine years.

• Xiluo declared that they would clear powerful Demons and Devils within three thousand kilometers while sparing Lawrence.
• Lawrence agreed to share information and listed the nearby Legendary beings, including a Balor, an Oras Demon, and an Owodaza Devil.

Xiluo confirmed that the Demon Eye overlord could not detect the Batwing Spider Demon’s death, then hunted down and killed a powerful Pit Fiend and a Balor. Gordon began preparing a ritual to absorb the fiends’ power, while Lawrence was left stunned by Xiluo’s strength.

• Xiluo learned from Lawrence that the Demigod Demon Eye overlord lived far away and was unlikely to discover the Batwing Spider Demon’s death.
• Gordon said he could use a ritual to absorb a Balor and a Pit Fiend, and Xiluo agreed to attack them, retreating if the fight proved too dangerous.
• Lawrence suspected Xiluo might kill him, but Xiluo intimidated Lawrence’s devils with a display of power and made Lawrence lead them to the fiends.

• Xiluo led Lawrence and Gordon to the Balor and killed the Level 22 demon as well.
• Gordon took the Balor’s corpse and began inscribing a magic array to absorb the two fiends’ power.

Gordon used the souls and bodies of a Balor and a Pit Fiend to awaken his Hellfire Dragon bloodline and reach legendary, then joined Xiluo in clearing nearby demons and devils. Back at the outpost, Gordon boasted to the other dragons, while the tidal titans advanced their tsunami and wrongly assumed the city was descending into rebellion.

• Gordon sacrificed the bodies and souls of a Balor and a Pit Fiend in a magic array, fully awakening his Hellfire Dragon bloodline and reaching level 20, Transcendent+.
• Gordon challenged Xiluo to a duel, but Xiluo gave him the Dragon Soul Orb instead; Gordon returned it in a sour mood after encountering the Ancient Red Dragon.
• Xiluo, Gordon, and Lawrence swept away powerful demons and devils within three thousand kilometers, avoiding the level 23 Owodaza Devil, then the two dragons returned to their outpost.
• Gordon showed off his newly awakened bloodline and provoked Alicia, Koraman, Abel, and the other dragon cubs until Xiluo stopped them from fighting.
• The tidal titans advanced their tsunami by about a kilometer, submerging Niro City's outermost district, and their leader claimed the humans were likely rioting in fear.

Xiluo used his earth-element abilities to move most of Niro City’s buildings into Abyssal Hell while the Nature Elves helped him hold back the Tidal Titans’ tsunamis. After relocating his subjects and rebuilding their settlement, he returned to Niro Castle and found the miniature city glowing with faith power.

• Xiluo chose Allen to hold the King's Ring and began moving Niro City’s buildings into Abyssal Hell as the tsunamis continued.
• The Tidal Titans discovered that Xiluo had evacuated the people and moved the buildings, then recruited Sea Folk to strengthen their later attacks.

• Xiluo completed New Niro City, built an outer wall against roaming demons and devils, and returned to find the miniature city shining with faith power.

Xiluo’s city prospered during ten years in the Abyssal Hell, while its people forged Faith Armaments and grew stronger. The chapter ended with Allen capturing Pake during another escape attempt and bringing him back to the city.

• Xiluo noticed that the faith power gained during the Tidal Titans’ attacks had faded and continued studying the Kram Soul-Splitting Technique.
• Over ten years, New Niro City developed into a habitable region, and its people forged four Faith Armaments.

• Pake tried to fly beyond the city, evaded his pursuers, and resisted Long Hair’s Fear Aura.
• A Faith Armament chain caught Pake and restrained him until Allen arrived to retrieve him.
• Allen praised Pake’s strength, and Pake argued that escaping the city would help him train like his father.

Ten years later, Little Pake watched Abel challenge Gordon and learned how the dragons had grown stronger, while Allen insisted she still had to stay in New Niro City. The council bell summoned the dragons, as Baili’er supervised young dragon cubs and Alicia continued plotting to seduce Xiluo.

• Little Pake asked Allen whether she was strong enough to match Xiluo or Gordon, but Allen refused to let her leave the city and offered to take her to watch Abel challenge Gordon.
• Abel used a Joint Spell to draw on the power of more than two hundred Dragonbeast offspring, allowing him to fight Gordon until the Dragonbeasts grew exhausted and Gordon pinned Abel down.
• Allen told Little Pake that Gordon remained stronger than Abel, and Little Pake vowed to surpass both dragons someday.
• The council bell rang, and Allen, Gordon, Abel, and Little Pake headed toward New Niro City as Baili’er left her dragon cubs to attend the meeting.
• At the temple of passion and pleasure, Alicia sent Koraman to join the revelers and privately lamented that she had not managed to seduce Xiluo.

The council bell summoned Xiluo and the dragons, humans, and elves of New Niro City to gather at the castle. As the attendees arrived, Xiluo assessed their strength and saw how much several had grown, especially Gordon and Pake.

• Alicia and Koraman left the temple when the council bell rang, while dragons and other residents across the city set out for the meeting.
