Lin Fan explained to his companions that there were two ways to reach the ancient battlefield as their warship crossed the void beyond the Demon Kingdom. He revealed the second method—breaking through a suitable spatial node to open a passage—but had not yet shown how they would do it.

• The Primordial Ancient Dragon steered the warship through an asteroid turbulence zone, crushing the rocks against its golden barrier.
• The Golden-Eyed Black Phoenix and Han Yan asked Lin Fan how they would reach the ancient battlefield without using the Ancient Azure Spirit Domain’s teleportation arrays.
• Lin Fan explained that ancient teleportation arrays were one way to enter the battlefield, though they were controlled by superpowers and costly to use.
• Lin Fan described the other way: finding a suitable spatial node, breaking the boundary, and carving out a passage to the ancient battlefield.

• The spatial laws tore the void apart until a deep passage glowing with multicolored divine light appeared.
• An icy, emotionless voice rang out in Lin Fan’s sea of consciousness.
