• Luo Jun reached the lord’s tombstone on the Forty-Ninth Floor and asked the team whether they would wait or follow him to the Fiftieth Floor.

• Luo Jun silenced the lord with Mana Deprivation, trapped it in Death Swamp, and directed a storm of meteors toward it using focused gravity.

Luo Jun defeated the Dog-Headed Lord’s first stage with a meteor bombardment, but the lord was reborn in a second stage immune to magic. After discovering that reckless physical exchanges favored his immense Health Points and regeneration, Luo Jun drove the lord below twenty percent health before it suddenly began healing.

• Luo Jun’s meteor attack emptied the lord’s first health bar, but Mu Ning sensed the monster was still alive and saw its health bar exceed a hundred million and keep growing.

• Luo Jun found that the lord was immune to magic and relied on physical attacks, while the lord used advanced combat skills to block and counter him.
• Luo Jun realized he could trade injuries because his Health Points regenerated quickly, and his attacks cut the lord’s health bar by more than a tenth at a time.
• Luo Jun drove the lord’s health below twenty percent, but a burst of white light caused the lord’s health bar to rapidly refill.

Luo Jun defeated the Fiftieth Floor Lord with a high-speed, penetrating strike after the Ice Queen froze it, allowing the floor to be conquered. As he approached the tombstone passage, a powerful stranger attacked him, killed several explorers, and arrived with a group of young Ascension-level experts, one of whom seemed familiar to Luo Jun.

• Luo Jun realized the Dog-headed Lord’s recovery was linked to the other monsters and asked the Ice Queen to freeze it while he prepared a counterattack.

• Luo Jun emptied the Lord’s health bar, conquered the Fiftieth Floor, collected its dropped equipment, and headed for the tombstone passage to the Main World.
• A tall stranger emerged from the tombstone and attacked Luo Jun with a massive sword, killing several explorers, including Kubal, with the divided sword aura.
• The stranger’s attack revealed his extraordinary strength, and several young Ascension-level experts emerged behind him; Luo Jun thought he recognized a chestnut-haired girl among them.

Luo Jun and the Ice Queen confronted A Jiali’s unidentified group, who claimed to come from another Main World, and Luo Jun discovered that A Jiali could accelerate her own time. The fight continued as Luo Jun tried to capture her, while clues about her companions and their master suggested a connection to people he had met before.

• Luo Jun noticed that the Red Hair Woman’s red hair and fire abilities also seemed familiar to him.

• Luo Jun discovered that his Magic Ban Technique could not suppress A Jiali or the purple-haired young man's abilities, then used a water net infused with lightning to capture A Jiali.
• A tall man called Heavenly Venerate appeared, holding the Ice Queen hostage, and demanded that Luo Jun release A Jiali.
• Luo Jun proposed that Heavenly Venerate release the Ice Queen and withdraw through the Teleportation Gate before Luo Jun freed A Jiali.
• Heavenly Venerate sent his followers through the gate but refused to leave A Jiali behind, so the two agreed to release their hostages simultaneously.
• As Luo Jun shoved A Jiali toward the Teleportation Gate, he secretly struck her with Black Fire.

Luo Jun entered a new world after passing through the Teleportation Gate and discovered that it was the zombie-ravaged Wasteland. As he searched for a way back to the Main World, survivors on Cole Island watched a ship approach from the mainland, unaware that something might be wrong.
