Centuries before the Ragnarok tournament between gods and humanity, the Chinese general Lu Bu builds the reputation that will make him the first fighter humanity sends into that arena. Bound to nothing but his own martial prowess, he rides out alone against the hundred-thousand-strong coalition massed at Hulao Pass, then turns on the tyrant Dong Zhuo, whose ambition to rule all under heaven collides with Lu Bu's appetite for a worthy opponent. The spin-off is built as a Three Kingdoms wuxia war epic rather than a tournament story.
