Su Luo and his teammates prepared for the Continued Battle, then arrived on a planet-like battlefield with unfamiliar environmental energies and began assembling defenses. As a high-speed reconnaissance unit appeared overhead, Su Luo disappeared into the Laboratory to intercept it.

Song Shige survived the Trickster’s self-destruction and the system’s reflected damage, while the black-robed man’s soul was pulled toward Su Luo’s rising laboratory and captured. As the preparation phase neared its end, Su Luo watched his storm grow and turned his attention to the captured soul.

• Xi Ji, Duan Xinpan, Guizishi, Shi Yong, and Jing Yunxin were brought to Su Luo’s Laboratory while Gao Fu, Jun Lebao, and Yin Haoguang stayed inside a hollow stone sphere to keep the team intact.

• Anna questioned whether the oracle meant they should stay away, but her companion insisted they wait for the Devil to appear.

Luther was caught in the detonation of three Black Flame meteorites, while Song Shige and Caoyuanshi encountered a muscle-covered fighter in the wasteland. Caoyuanshi held off the freak’s attacks, and Song Shige joined the fight.

• Luther froze the tornado, but three Black Flame meteorites emerged from it and struck at him from different angles.

• Caoyuanshi tested the freak’s strength and deflected its barrage of more than ten thousand punches, which flattened the surrounding rocks.
• Song Shige raised his perfect-quality Zhanmadao and joined the fight.

Song Shige and Caoyuanshi battled the muscle freak, whose Talent grew stronger as he was injured. Meanwhile, Luther used Dream Game to trap nearby fighters in dream duels, but his chosen opponent revealed himself as the King of Dreams.

• Luther's holy-light punch shattered the young man, but he reappeared unharmed, prompting Luther to spend Dream Energy on buffs.
• The young man summoned a scepter, revealed the title King of Dreams, and warned Luther that their dream duel had changed the balance of power.

Luther fought a series of opponents in his Dreamscape, trying to win enough victories to reset his Talent’s cooldown, while Su Luo was pulled into an unfamiliar dream and discovered a vast network connecting dreams. Su Luo returned to reality just as the Warship’s laser cannon obliterated a streak of golden light.

• Luther defeated Xi Ji, Shi Yong, and Duan Xinpan, bringing his total to four victories and leaving him one win from resetting his Talent’s cooldown.
• Luther noticed that the man in the dark blue robe had disappeared, and the Dreamscape shuddered violently.
• Su Luo analyzed the Pure White Space, summoned his own dream, and glimpsed a vast platform linking countless dreams before returning to the Starry Sky Library.
• Su Luo woke from his dream and saw the Warship fire its main cannon at a streak of golden light, which vanished in the laser blast.

Su Luo investigated the Dreamscape attack and extracted information from the black-robed man while Dylan tried to withdraw his damaged warship. A deathly figure breached the ship and advanced through its corridors, leaving Dylan’s crew unable to stop it.

• Su Luo expanded his storm with earth, wind, and fire after the warship’s laser cannon proved to be a serious threat.

• The deathly figure passed through the warship’s armor and tore through its defenses and blast doors as it moved through the corridors, followed by an ink-black silhouette.

[Summoner] seized Dylan’s warship and ordered him to fire at the Storm Zone. On the battlefield, Song Shige and Caoyuanshi kept fighting the freak until a Mech Armor arrived, and all three joined forces against it.

• [Summoner] entered Dylan’s command cabin, claimed the Sanctuary, and threatened to destroy the warship unless Dylan fired at the storm.

• Dylan fired the laser, and it blasted a huge hole through the storm’s outer layer.
• A pitch-black meteorite moved into the laser’s path and reflected the beam back toward the warship.

Su Luo and Guizishi reflected the warship’s laser, destroying the ship and eliminating Region Two, while Su Luo’s Black Flame Meteorite eliminated Region Ten. As the group discussed the warship’s weapons, Su Luo concluded that the system had granted technology according to performance rather than natural technological development.

• Guizishi precisely reflected the warship’s laser, which destroyed the ship and triggered Dylan’s forced teleportation with his Sanctuary while annihilating the pitch-black figure.
• The gray-robed man lost his summon and Talent, fled, and was struck by Su Luo’s Black Flame Meteorite, eliminating Region Ten.
• Su Luo praised Guizishi’s precision and lamented the loss of the warship as Shi Yong returned badly burned and Jing Yunxin treated him.
• Xi Ji and Su Luo noted that the warship’s missiles lacked nuclear warheads despite its advanced technology and powerful laser.
• Su Luo explained that the warship’s technology appeared to come from system upgrades that balanced attack and defense rather than following real-world technological development.

• Mech Armor offered to help Song Shige secure first place in exchange for second, but Song Shige told it to take third.

The Trickster united five zones to attack the Storm Zone, convincing Caoyuanshi that the storm was a bluff and arranging for Blood-Skeleton to curse its controller. Blood-Skeleton's curse collapsed most of the storm, and Caoyuanshi and Blood-Skeleton charged into the exposed core as black flames spread behind them.

• The Trickster persuaded Caoyuanshi to join the alliance after claiming the storm's controller was gravely weakened, and Mech Armor confirmed that the storm had a weakness.
• The Trickster assigned Blood-Skeleton to attack [Scholar] with a curse while Caoyuanshi led the charge, and the other allies targeted [Demon King] and the madman.
• At the storm's edge, Caoyuanshi found its outer layers dangerous, while the Trickster confirmed that the allies were ready and that [Demon King] and the madman were fighting twenty li away.
• Blood-Skeleton cast a curse into the storm, causing its outer layers to collapse into a vast field of destructive winds, flames, and meteors.
• Caoyuanshi and Blood-Skeleton charged into the storm's remaining core, unaware that black flames were silently consuming the surrounding area.

• Caoyuanshi charged at Su Luo while Blood-Skeleton Daoist unleashed a banner that sent soul-corroding blood shadows toward him.

• Caoyuanshi fled into the dust, mistaking Su Luo's lack of pursuit for an opening to counterattack before deciding to run instead.
• Caoyuanshi reached the storm's edge and discovered that a boundless, silent sea of black fire had formed into the Fire Domain.
• Caoyuanshi looked back at Su Luo, who still stood calmly at the window of the suspended building.

Song Shige defeated and killed the freak after exploiting the clouds to weaken its senses and striking with the Zhanmadao. The Trickster and a mech armor left to target Anna, while Song Shige collected the freak’s coins and noticed something struggling amid the fire and storm.

• Song Shige fought the freak alone as clouds and water vapor obscured their ability to anticipate attacks.
• The freak tried to retreat, but Song Shige ambushed it, severed a limb, and wounded its torso.
• Song Shige enlarged the Zhanmadao and cut the freak in half, then used Trickster’s cards to deflect the freak’s counterattack.
• Song Shige struck again and killed the freak, triggering a system notice that Area Five had been eliminated and all remaining areas had gained four points.
• The Trickster and the mech armor departed to eliminate Anna, while Song Shige collected the freak’s gold coins and spotted something struggling amid the fire and storm.

• Caoyuanshi hurled a mass of flesh at Blood-Skeleton, exhausting his remaining souls and sending him toward the fire domain’s depths.

Su Luo’s plan eliminated Blood-Skeleton Daoist and Caoyuanshi, leaving only three zones and Anna as the final target. Su Luo and Song Shige prepared to pursue the Trickster and Mech Armor, while Song Shige revealed an item Caoyuanshi had dropped.

• Caoyuanshi killed Blood-Skeleton Daoist in the Black Flame Domain, triggering Zone 1’s elimination and a five-point bonus for the remaining zones.
• Unable to escape the flames, Caoyuanshi tore off his own head and stored his body before Song Shige approached; Zone 6 was then eliminated, granting six points to the remaining zones.
• Su Luo explained that he and the Trickster had lured Blood-Skeleton Daoist and Caoyuanshi into the Storm Zone’s fire trap, where Song Shige and Su Luo could attack them.
• Su Luo removed the baleful energy from the black-robed man’s soul, then cut away most of the soul so the system would teleport the remainder away.
• Su Luo and Song Shige decided to supervise the Trickster and Mech Armor as they hunted Anna, and Song Shige showed Su Luo an item dropped by Caoyuanshi.
