Mu Fan and Black crippled the Sky-Rending Bird with precise long-range shots, then Mu Fan caught it before it crashed. He left it kneeling in humiliation and turned his attention toward the Sky Carrier, declaring that his nightmare was about to begin.

Mu Fan and the arena’s security forces discovered a hidden giant mecha, whose pilot revealed he belonged to Solomon and had come to avenge Soash Lie. As the threat appeared, Mu Fan drew Flame and fired at him.

Mu Fan’s ambush failed when Andumali revealed the Wring Demon Snake’s Thousand Shadow Serpent ability and blasted the Extreme Soldier into a canyon wall with the Serpent Shadow Demon Trace Cannon. As Wang Nuonuo mourned the apparent destruction of the mech, Ruan Xiongfeng charged in to confront Andumali.

• Mu Fan realized the mech he had shot was a self-repairing physical mirror image created by Andumali’s Wring Demon Snake.

Ruan Xiongfeng unleashed Great Lightning Owl’s full power and formed a massive, five-part tornado formation against Andumali’s Wring Demon Snake. Andumali taunted him and launched Ten Thousand Chaotic Disciplines, filling the battlefield with attacking metal pythons and yellow spheres of light.

As the boy hovered near death, a blood-red light stirred in his chest, and he wondered whether Asura had returned. On a distant barren planet, the damaged black mech Asura abandoned its energy replenishment and used an ancient altar to open a Boundary Breaking Gate, answering a message that its master was in danger.

As a hidden crimson mecha waited inside a volcano, a Level 5 Boundary Breaking Gate opened above Landu Star and a bloodstained metal arm reached through.

A battle-damaged black mecha named Shura emerged from a one-way spatial gate and rushed toward Mu Fan after sensing his fading consciousness. As Shura descended toward the battlefield, Mu Fan’s pulse began to recover, and he sensed the familiar mecha approaching through red lotus flames in his mind.

• Li Shen ordered the Seventh Fleet to stand by after a Level 5 Boundary Breaking Gate revealed a mecha entering the atmosphere.
