With the battle of the Mirror Sky Pavilion's Outer Pavilion concluded, the Forbidden Pavilion—where the deepest secrets lie—now opens its gates. This is the ultimate battleground laid by Liu Xingwen with every resource the Pavilion commands. Step into this final ground of a thousand-year blood feud, behold what awaits within...

Shadows move like puppets, the world in disarray. In ancient times, Xing Tian dared to challenge the Yellow Emperor, waging war across the land and leaving piles of bones in his wake. Truth or illusion? Those who come here shall have their skin torn, their bones broken, where illusion becomes reality, and war never ceases.
Some say, "History only remembers the victors." Yet Xing Tian is the very opposite—a defeated warrior whose defiance against fate, whose unyielding spirit in the face of defeat, has echoed through the ages. Even if it means waging war against the heavens themselves, he would fight to the bitter end, never surrendering.
By "entering the play," you will step through the Shadow Puppetry. Accompanied by stirring music and character lines infused with operatic vocals, you shall heed the Yellow Emperor's command and spar with this legendary God of War. This battle is nothing short of an ascension beyond the mortal realm—a true battle among gods.
The battle consists of 3 phases and begins after entering "World Unbowed." Players must defeat the enemies on the stage before Xing Tian's subordinates destroy the Royal Cauldron. Afterward, the theater opens, allowing players to enter the play and stop Xing Tian from seizing the Royal Cauldron.
When no players are inside the Shadow Puppetry, the Royal Cauldron will take damage from Xing Tian's attacks. The battle ends in defeat when its HP reaches 0.

Upon entering the Shadow Puppetry to battle Xing Tian, players gain an entirely new set of skill build, featuring both melee and ranged combat styles with distinct effects. You must adapt your approach based on real-time combat conditions, balancing survival with attacks.
Additionally, Xing Tian will Summon several Loyal Monkeys to threaten the Royal Cauldron. You must use the Divine Staff to delay the Loyal Monkeys' sacrifice while focusing fire to eliminate them as quickly as possible.

After Xing Tian is defeated, he will resurrect through an incantation, just as in the ancient myth—with his nipples as eyes and his navel as a mouth, his broken body reborn as raging fire. The resurrected Xing Tian will wield even more powerful moves.

When the resurrected Xing Tian's HP drops to 70%, he will summon Fu Jing and Fu Mo to expel players from the Shadow Puppetry. Players need to defeat these two to re-enter the Shadow Puppetry and finally take down Xing Tian.
After Xing Tian's resurrection, his earth shattering power can pierce through the puppet screen, raining down volcanic rocks upon the stage. Players must use the Divine Staff to delay the explosion of the volcanic rocks and focus fire to destroy them.

The twin assassins of Mirror Sky Pavilion are as ominous as the black and white reapers, heralding the approach of death. Wielding two heavy swords in a crisscrossing dance, they unleash icy lightning and thunderous frost spikes, leaving no place to hide and sealing one's fate within their deadly embrace.
The black-clad [Xi Zheng] is no stranger to us all. The very first time you descended the mountain and headed to Ambrosia Alley to find Senior Zhuiming, you already crossed swords with him aboard the painted boat... Xi Zheng has been stirring tempest across the Martial World, but what few know is that he has a twin brother—[Dong Jun]. Rumors in the Martial World say that the white-clad [Dong Jun] possesses even greater Martial Arts prowess and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. This time, they're coming at you together.
Twin Shades is a dual boss battle where the brothers Xi Zheng and Dong Jun will attack players using Thunder and Ice moves, respectively. Defeating one will cause the other to enter a berserk mode, so while carefully handling the dual threat, try to defeat them simultaneously.

Dong Jun and Xi Zheng will periodically apply the "Frostbolt Chain" status to all players. Players carrying Ice Lock and Thunder Lock must approach each other to dispel it. After dispelling, players will retain the "Breath of Ice" and "Breath of Thunder." Dong Jun wields Ice Element power, while Xi Zheng wields Thunder Element power. Players carrying Breath of Thunder who attack Xi Zheng will suffer repulsion damage from the same element, and likewise, Ice Element against Dong Jun.

If Falling Thunder (summoned by Xi Zheng) hits Icicles (summoned by Dong Jun), it will create a pickable "Glacial Thunder Spear." Throwing the spear at the Twin Shades will deal high damage and knock back enemies. Use this to knock the enemy off cliffs.
