• Han Xiangdong questioned whether the plan could work if the beast could fly, and Ding Wanning promised to find a way to ground or restrict it.
• Ding Wanning urged the residents to defend Holy City, and they agreed to prepare for battle; as Luo Fan left with An Xiaoran, Mo Yuling, and Ai Si, Mo Yuling asked whether he was confident.

As the beast tide attacked the Holy City, Luo Fan and his convoy unleashed their abilities against the fierce beasts. Ding Wanning watched their coordinated fighting and wondered at the convoy’s true strength.

• Ding Wanning watched the convoy’s coordinated assault and murmured in shock about its true caliber.

• Luo Fan returned to the wall, reunited with An Xiaoran, Mo Yuling, and Ai Si, and exchanged nods with Ding Wanning as they recognized the real battle had yet to begin.

Luo Fan used Petrification Bait to divert and petrify a seventh-tier giant bird Fierce Beast after his gunfire barely hurt it. He called An Xiaoran to strike the immobilized beast with Healing Cross.

• The giant bird Fierce Beast battered the Holy City's defensive barrier with Wind Blades while the city's attacks failed to harm it.

• Luo Fan threw Petrification Bait, forcing the giant bird to crash toward it and turn into a stone statue after swallowing it.
• Luo Fan called to An Xiaoran, who summoned Healing Cross and sent it crashing down at the petrified beast.

An Xiaoran used a Healing Cross to heal the battlefield and pin down a seventh-tier fierce beast, while the Hope Convoy’s fighters helped turn the tide against the beast attack. As the battle continued, invisible Lian Ziqiong followed the Money Rat through the Middle Ring toward the City Lord.

• An Xiaoran’s Healing Cross shattered the giant bird’s stone shell, pinned it to the ground, and healed Sequence Users across the battlefield.

Luo Fan and the Holy City’s defenders faced an eighth-tier fierce beast whose rule power shattered An Xiaoran’s Healing Cross and whose parrot unleashed a sleep-inducing feather rain. Luo Fan resisted the drowsiness with the Godhead Fragment and spotted the hidden enemy above the clouds.

• The colorful parrot spread feathers across the battlefield, making the sequence users and Luo Fan grow overwhelmingly drowsy.
• Luo Fan used the Godhead Fragment to clear his head, then looked up and spotted a figure above the clouds.

An Xiaoran transformed into an angel and struck the seventh-tier parrot with Holy Judgment, ending its battlefield-wide illusion and awakening the Sequence Users. The adoration she received raised her Sequence Level to Lv46, and she sensed a new skill awakening within her.

• Luo Fan resisted the parrot's illusion while over a hundred low-tier Sequence Users fell asleep, and he identified both the parrot and the giant bird as seventh tier.
• An Xiaoran activated Angel Descending, transformed into a winged angel, and drew the attention of the battlefield.
• An Xiaoran used Divine Art: Holy Judgment to burn the parrot and knock it from the giant bird's head, causing its illusion to fade.

• An Xiaoran absorbed the love and adoration of the people around her, rose from Lv45 to Lv46, and sensed a new skill awakening.

• The Winged Queen descended from the clouds, releasing a crushing aura that stopped both humans and fierce beasts in their tracks.

Lian Ziqiong followed the Money Rat to a hidden chamber behind a wall in the City Lord's Manor, but she could not find a way inside. On the Beast Tide battlefield, the eighth-tier Winged Queen attacked An Xiaoran, shattering her Holy Light Shield and driving her talons toward An Xiaoran's chest.

• Lian Ziqiong followed the Money Rat into the City Lord's Manor study, where it passed through a solid wall and revealed a secret chamber behind it.
• Lian Ziqiong confirmed that the chamber lay against a mountain rock face, then waited for the Money Rat to return.
• The Money Rat emerged from the wall and confirmed that what Lian Ziqiong sought was connected to the chamber, so she began searching the study for its entrance mechanism.
• The eighth-tier Winged Queen descended onto the battlefield, and her overwhelming aura halted both the human fighters and the Fierce Beasts.
• The Winged Queen recognized An Xiaoran and lunged at her with her talons.
• An Xiaoran retreated and raised a Holy Light Shield, but the Winged Queen shattered it and continued her strike toward An Xiaoran's chest.

Luo Fan fought the Winged Queen while Han Xiangdong used his Rule Skill to save An Xiaoran from her strike. The Winged Queen’s attack failed to harm Luo Fan, and she realized the fourth-tier human possessed a second Rule-Type Skill.

• The Winged Queen struck at An Xiaoran, but Han Xiangdong encased her in ice and blocked the attack.
• Luo Fan used the Weird Gun to slow the Winged Queen and fired three Crystal-Energy Bullets, which she deflected.

• Luo Fan activated Decapitation on the injured Colorful Parrot and rushed toward it, ignoring the Winged Queen.
• The Winged Queen struck Luo Fan from behind, but his defense held, leading her to recognize that he had another Rule-Type Skill.

Luo Fan charged through the beast tide under the protection of his rule-type skill and caught up to the injured seventh-tier parrot. He stunned it with Sap and triggered Hunting Passive as he stabbed at its vital point.

• Zhi Zhou and the others realized Luo Fan possessed two rule-type skills, while Ding Wanning wondered whether his sniping ability was a third.
• Luo Fan ignored the fierce beasts' attacks and broke through their encirclement without being harmed.
• Luo Fan reached the wounded seventh-tier parrot, which fled after seeing its companion's attacks fail against him.
• Luo Fan caught the parrot, struck it with Sap, and triggered Hunting Passive as he stabbed toward a vital point.

Luo Fan killed the Seventh-Tier Parrot amid the beast tide and broke through to Demon Hunter Sequence, Lv50. The breakthrough revealed that he now understood the conditions for advancing to a fifth-tier Sequence User.

• Luo Fan stabbed the Seventh-Tier Parrot repeatedly with the Wraith Short Sword, burning and poisoning it while his invincibility protected him from the other beasts.
• Luo Fan activated Petrification Bait, causing the giant bird fierce beast to swallow it and turn to stone while the parrot was drawn back toward him.
• Luo Fan stabbed the parrot a final time through the heart, killing it as the Holy City's defenders watched.
• Luo Fan broke through to Demon Hunter Sequence, Lv50 after slaying the Seventh-Tier Parrot.
• Luo Fan realized he now knew the conditions for advancing to a fifth-tier Sequence User.

After reaching Lv50, Luo Fan learned that promotion to fifth-tier required him to slay a being that had mastered rules. When the Winged Queen trapped him in a domain that wounded him continuously, he tried to break through its barrier with the Wraith Short Sword.

• Luo Fan considered which rule-masters might satisfy his promotion mission and how difficult each target would be.
• After the parrot’s death ended the invincibility effect, Luo Fan transformed into Lian Ziqiong and escaped the beasts’ attacks with Shadow Walk.
• The Winged Queen descended and trapped Luo Fan alone inside a gray-and-white domain that caused unexplained wounds to appear on his body.
• Luo Fan raced to the domain’s edge and stabbed the barrier with the Wraith Short Sword.

Trapped inside the Winged Queen’s domain, Luo Fan realized he could not break its barrier or reach her in the air, but he could still target her with rule-type skills. He pulled out a Gatling gun to build the attack stacks needed for Killing Blow and opened fire.

• Luo Fan failed to damage the Winged Queen’s barrier with his Wraith Short Sword and declared that he would kill her instead.
• The Winged Queen mocked Luo Fan and evaded his jump, leaving him unable to reach her while she hovered above the ground.
• Luo Fan considered flying as a golden eagle but rejected the idea because he could not build Killing Blow stacks in that form.
• Luo Fan took a Gatling gun from his storage space and fired at the Winged Queen to build stacks from a distance.

Luo Fan fired a Gatling gun at the Winged Queen to build Killing Blow stacks, but she dodged once she sensed a hidden danger. With the stack count far from its goal and the domain draining his blood, Luo Fan searched for another way to land an unavoidable hit.

• Luo Fan fired his Gatling gun at the Winged Queen while Killing Blow's stack count climbed.
• The Winged Queen let the bullets strike her, then dodged the barrage when Luo Fan's focused stare made her wary.
• Luo Fan tracked her with the Gatling, but her speed kept most bullets from hitting and slowed the stack count's rise.
• The Winged Queen stopped and continued watching Luo Fan cautiously, while the domain's damage caused him to bleed.
• Luo Fan stopped firing and considered his remaining options, concluding that he needed to attack when the Winged Queen could not dodge.

Luo Fan used the Weird Gun's stored Mimicry to become the Young Master Weird, whose rule ability nullified the Winged Queen's domain and healed his wounds. The Winged Queen abandoned her plan to let the domain kill him and charged at him, while Luo Fan waited for her to enter his trap.

• Luo Fan activated the Weird Gun's Energy Storage and Mimicry abilities, transforming into the Young Master Weird.
• The Winged Queen realized Luo Fan's new form had nullified her domain's rule and healed his injuries.
• Luo Fan confirmed that the transformation also left him free of the Innate Yang Steel's suppression inside the domain.
• The Winged Queen declared that she would kill Luo Fan herself and launched a direct attack.
• Luo Fan welcomed her charge, believing the eighth-tier beast was rushing into his trap.

After Luo Fan killed the Seventh-Tier Parrot, the Eighth Tier Winged Queen disappeared with him into an Alternate-Dimension Space and attacked him. Luo Fan lured her into a Sealing Trap, which caught her leg, but the fight remained unresolved.

• Luo Fan killed the Seventh-Tier Parrot, then the Winged Queen vanished along with him as she activated an Alternate-Dimension Space.
• An Xiaoran noticed Luo Fan's disappearance, and Zhao Chunfeng suspected the Winged Queen had isolated him in a space like a Weird Domain.
• The Winged Queen attacked Luo Fan inside the grayish-white space, and her claws carved a canyon hundreds of meters deep when he dodged.
• Luo Fan fled along the canyon's edge, using Spirit Void Step and the Swift Wind Boots while the Winged Queen pursued him.
• Luo Fan abruptly changed direction and triggered a Sealing Trap, which clamped onto the Winged Queen's leg.

Luo Fan trapped the Winged Queen with Sealing Trap, used a Gatling to build Killing Blow to one hundred stacks, and stabbed her through the heart with the Wraith Short Sword. The Winged Queen remained alive and mocked him, leaving Luo Fan baffled by why Killing Blow had failed.

• The Winged Queen discovered that Sealing Trap had immobilized her and sealed her power.
• Luo Fan summoned his Gatling and fired at the Winged Queen while she shielded herself with her wings.
• Luo Fan built Killing Blow to one hundred stacks as bullets struck the Winged Queen’s feathers.
• Luo Fan used the Wraith Short Sword to stab the Winged Queen through her highlighted heart weak point.
• The Winged Queen mocked Luo Fan and showed no pain or fear, leaving him confused that the thrust had not killed her.

Luo Fan overcame the Winged Queen’s immortality by revealing that his Killing Blow was a Control Level rule, killing her and collapsing her domain. Back on the Beast Tide battlefield, he broke through to Fifth Tier and sensed a new skill awakening.

• Luo Fan pulled the Wraith Short Sword from the Winged Queen and asked whether her immortality rule was Control Level.
• Luo Fan explained that Killing Blow was a Control Level skill, and the Winged Queen realized it could suppress her Manipulation Level domain.
• The Winged Queen weakened and died from her heart wound as Luo Fan watched.
• The Alternate-Dimension Space shattered and returned Luo Fan to the Beast Tide battlefield.
• Luo Fan broke through to Fifth Tier, reaching Demon Hunter Sequence, Lv51, and felt a new skill awakening.
