• Lu Cang rejected Lomo’s offer to help and used Ascension to Extreme Realm to withstand its attacks, while Kumiloni healed him from inside the domain.
• Lomo mutated Lu Cang’s magic, clothing, and stored items, so Lu Cang froze time, protected his Ten Thousand Skins Bag, and attacked with his spear, the Sword of Netfire Judgment, and Origin Magic.

• Roa, the Chaos Trickster and a Tier 8 Class-changer Lu Cang had seen in a preview, broke into the space above him.

Lomo was forced back toward Lu Cang, whose Holy Flame had burned away most of its Death Date, but Lomo still believed it could only be killed in its hidden lair.

Lu Cang faced the awakening Primordial Sea, whose presence rapidly disintegrated living beings, and Ansu urged him to activate the Pure White Descent Ritual. With no other way to stop it, Lu Cang sent one hundred billion souls into the ritual on a barren planet.
