After turning their attack against the nest and exposing the Mother Emperor, he was surrounded and met the million-Zerg combined attack with his newly unleashed Space-Time Rhythm, leaving the battle’s outcome unknown.

• Zhang Junbao entered the seventh level and found a hundred formations of Zerg Warriors, while the spectators realized the trial seemed nearly impossible to clear.
• Zhang Junbao ordered Elizabeth to deploy her Mother Nest and consume corpses, then used his domain and Ten Thousand Line Flow to rush toward the enemy Mother Nest.
• Zhang Junbao failed to penetrate the nest’s chaotic spatial barrier, so he used twenty thousand Space Phantoms to gather the five hundred thousand Zerg Warriors’ attack and redirect it into the Mother Nest.
• The redirected attack blasted open the Mother Nest and wounded the Mother Emperor, who summoned all one million Zerg Warriors to surround Zhang Junbao.
• Zhang Junbao compressed his domain and used the Space-Time Hunyuan Sword’s Space-Time Rhythm to meet the million-Zerg combined attack as the spectators waited to see who prevailed.
