History

Earth and the apocalypse

Lante rose during Earth’s apocalypse as one of its earliest Evolvers. Alongside Fire Phoenix—the strongest Esper—he was one of the two powerhouses who had brought the Earth Alliance to its height before the pair followed different paths. Unlike Fire Phoenix, Lante regarded power as fleeting and strength as the basis of survival. 163

His lifelong rivalry with Yao began on Earth. The two were regarded as equally outstanding in the early apocalypse: fierce competitors who improved through their mutual pressure, yet also each other’s closest friends. Lante’s desire to surpass Yao remained a central motivation even after they were separated. 181 182

By the time Wang Ye challenged him, Lante had become a Ninth-Order Perfected Gene Warrior. He was refining the Demon Extinguishing Spear Technique’s third level and preferred practical spear cultivation over formal training, believing a personal spear path would suit him better. Wang Ye provoked him into accepting the duel; after their battle demolished the Martial Arts Training Field, Lante conceded defeat and acknowledged Wang Ye’s superiority. 181

Energy Grid operation and Moon Base

Wang Ye recruited Lante for a direct counterattack against the higher cosmic civilization controlling Earth. Lante immediately agreed, having long wanted to confront the forces operating behind the scenes. He committed all of his Battle Qi and cellular Cosmic Energy to the Black Eagle Demon Spear, destroying most of the Energy Grid despite the danger of triggering the Red Light Mechanism. 182

Lante was subsequently captured in the Moon Base. Wang Ye freed him from Sea Stone Shackles, restoring his Battle Qi, and the two fought their way through the northern entrance together. Lante quickly regained his fighting spirit, killed guards despite sustaining superficial wounds, and became Wang Ye’s crucial partner in the escape. 185 186

Entering the universe

After leaving Earth, Mengluo Tieshan assessed Lante as a Ninth-Order Perfected Gene Warrior with an estimated third-level Willpower Ladder and 55% brain-domain development. Tieshan explained that a human must unite body, mind, and spirit to become a Cosmic-level lifeform—guidance that pushed Lante to improve an aspect he had previously neglected. 190

Lante focused on breaking through through martial attainment rather than merely accumulating energy. His control over a spatial environment through spearwork became the force that carried him into the Cosmic Rank, where he awakened the special talent Enemy Submission instead of a bloodline. 197 198

He fought repeatedly alongside Wang Ye against the Mengluo Star Guard. During Wang Ye’s Cosmic Rank breakthrough, Lante used Enemy Submission to recreate a battlefield from Earth and pushed Wang Ye to the limit with the fourth level of the Demon Extinguishing Spear Technique. 199 The pair later defeated Mengluo Majia’s ten-person squad and helped wipe out the Ninth Team, though Lante was left severely injured in the latter battle. 201 204

Black World and independent cultivation

Lante accompanied Wang Ye into the Black World, where they survived attacks by Cosmic Nation families, harvested Dark Crystals, and grew closer through repeated life-and-death battles. When Wang Ye was struck by a devastating lightning attack, Lante’s rage drove him to use Space Distortion offensively against a Dark Energy Rank opponent. 245 246

Senior U Yuan later guided Lante in the Space Secret Realm. After more than six Cosmic Years of cultivation, Lante had developed a self-created spear technique combining the Demon Extinguishing Spear Technique with the Space Way. He chose to remain and continue cultivating independently, determined to defeat Yao through his own path. 324

Wang Ye eventually reunited Lante with Yao. Their meeting after twenty years culminated in another intense duel, reaffirming the rivalry that had defined both men since Earth. 367

Earth’s rebuilding and Time and Space Island

When Wang Ye left Earth to pursue the Supernova Geniuses Contend, he entrusted the planet’s future to Yao and Lante. Lante chose to remain connected to the Barracks rather than take an administrative role, consistent with his preference for combat over governance. 396 397

Time and Space Island later offered him a place as an Outer Island disciple due to his innate talent, background, and performance in the Dark Energy Hidden Dragon Selection. Lante accepted because the faction’s Time-Space path matched his own ambitions. 529

At Time and Space Island, he endured the ruthless competition of District 43’s Disciple Garden, where disciples fought for scarce Inner Island positions. He attempted to secure a selection place through the Outer Island Overseer, only for Wang Ye to expose the official’s inability to influence the process and recover the money Lante had lost. 598 599

Wang Ye offered Lante an alternative path through Affinity Dream City, including resources and a mentor. Lante was tempted but reluctant to abandon the decades he had invested in proving himself at Time and Space Island. 600

Personality

Lante is intensely competitive, direct, and easily stirred into action. Wang Ye successfully baited him into their duel through online insults, while Lante’s rivalry with Yao remains one of his strongest personal drives. 181 367

He is a battle-first person who dislikes administration, formal study, and remaining in one place for too long. After seeing the wider universe, he described staying on Earth as suffocating and delegated its reconstruction rather than personally managing it. 181 397

Despite his impulsiveness, Lante is loyal and brave. He accepted Wang Ye’s Energy Grid operation with no hesitation, fought at Wang Ye’s side against superior enemies, and remained determined to cultivate when his own progress lagged behind his friend’s. 182 204 238

His blunt humor frequently appears in conversations with Wang Ye and Ling Ling, particularly when teasing Wang Ye over his relationships or ambitions. 223 237 249

Abilities & Skills

Demon Extinguishing Spear Technique

Lante’s signature spear art, built around killing intent, direct force, and progressively stronger command of the surrounding space.

• Reached the third level while still a Perfected Gene Warrior. 181
• Could use the third level in combat after acquiring a superior cosmic spear at the Moon Base. 188
• Executed the fourth level after reaching the Cosmic Rank, combining it with spatial suppression to immobilize opponents within his controlled environment. 199
• Its principles later became part of his self-created spear technique. 324

Enemy Submission

A special talent awakened upon his Cosmic Rank breakthrough. It creates a spatial environment that traps opponents and gives Lante control over the battlefield within it. 198 199

• Can manifest a terrain closely tied to Lante’s memories, such as the Earth battlefield where humans fought the Human-Headed Owl True Devil. 199
• Restricts enemy movement through spatial pressure and environmental control. 199
• Can be resisted by opponents with sufficient Esper ability. 199
• Requires Illusion Technique training to produce illusory projection attacks. 198
• Requires Emission-Type cultivation to reach its full effectiveness against Espers of the same level. 198

Space Control and Space Distortion

Lante’s greatest natural aptitude lies in the Space Way rather than raw Battle Qi.

• His spatial-environment control was already exceptional before reaching the Cosmic Rank. 198
• Reached fourth-level Space Control at First-Level Cosmic Rank and had glimpsed the fifth level. 204
• Approached seventh-level Space Control by Third-Level Cosmic Rank. 237
• Used Space Distortion to make his spear attacks unpredictable and to strike through distorted space. 246
• Recognized that his current Space Distortion remained insufficient to cross the Lightning Origin Heart Barrier safely. 248

Self-Created Spear Technique

After years of secluded cultivation in the Space Secret Realm, Lante formed a spear technique of his own.

• Integrates the Demon Extinguishing Spear Technique with the Space Way. 324
• Distorts space through the spear’s trajectory, making its attacks difficult to read and evade. 324
• Represents Lante’s decision to stop measuring himself against Wang Ye and follow a path suited to himself. 324 367

Relationships

• Wang Ye — Closest brother and principal combat partner. They began as rivals, fought their world-strongest duel, escaped the Moon Base together, and repeatedly trusted each other against overwhelming odds. Wang Ye continues to support Lante’s cultivation and opportunities. 181 185 201 600
• Barbara — Lante’s lover. She tried to restrain his desire to fight the Sea King Merman Demon, then shared an emotional farewell with him before the Energy Grid operation. 181 182
