• Luo Hao announced that it was time to offer sacrifices to Heaven, while more than a thousand captives remained chained in the arena.

Hu Liena helped Luo Hao remove his imperial robe, but the others walked in and mistook the scene for something improper. After the misunderstanding was cleared up, Luo Hao teleported to the second-floor dining hall, startling everyone again.

• Hu Liena helped Luo Hao remove his imperial robe as Ice Empress, Snow Empress, and Xiao Wu entered the hall and misread what they saw.

• Hu Liena later explained the truth to the girls in the dining hall, and Luo Hao put on an outer robe before teleporting to join them.
• Luo Hao's sudden appearance startled Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and the others.

Luo Hao put aside the planned voyage to the new continent and decided to deal with the hidden enemies who had attacked them. Ice Empress and Snow Empress agreed to strike a valley full of foes, while Luo Hao told the others they were not strong enough to help.

• Xiao Wu asked whether Luo Hao’s teleportation was a new soul skill, and he explained that he now used the laws of space instead of relying on soul skills.

• Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and the others offered to help, but Luo Hao said their strength was insufficient for the task.

• Ice Empress declared that it was over as the blizzard intensified and swept across the sect toward the surrounding mountain peaks.

• The Ice Empress and Snow Empress froze and pulverized the Clear Sky Sect, then buried its ruins beneath shattered mountains.
• The Soul Emperor returned to report the sect's destruction and decided to retire and have more children, hoping one would possess powerful innate talent.

• Ghost Douluo demanded an explanation because Yu Yuanzhen had joined the Clear Sky Sect's remnants in an attempt to assassinate the ruler at his coronation.
• Yu Xiaogang cried out in shock upon learning his father was dead, and Ghost Douluo dismissed him as a weak deceiver.

• Ghost Douluo told Yu Luomian and the sect that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had to disband within three days or face the consequences.
• The sect’s disciples split between those preparing to resist and those quietly planning to flee.

• Ghost Douluo ordered the Spirit Hall Empire to take over the sect’s assets and grounds, then destroyed the entrance gates and plaque.
• Yu Luomian regretted becoming sect master as he watched the sect’s hopes of recovering its former standing collapse.

Yu Luomian blamed Yu Xiaogang and the ruined branch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect before the sect dissolved and its members scattered. After settling Spirit Hall’s affairs, Luo Hao sailed with Xiao Wu and the others toward the Sun Moon Empire, escorted by warships and sea beasts.

• Yu Luomian cursed Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Xiaogang, then struck Yu Xiaogang and blasted him with lightning until he passed out.
• Two days later, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect dissolved, leaving its resources behind as its members scattered across the continent and many joined the Spirit Hall Empire’s military.
• Luo Hao reorganized his plans for the empire’s troops and decided to seek talks with the Sun Moon Empire before considering war.
• After half a month in Spirit Hall, Luo Hao handed its affairs to Chrysanthemum Ghost and departed for the Sun Moon Empire with Xiao Wu and the others.
• A fleet of a hundred warships sailed with sea beasts escorting it, while the Three-Eyed Golden Lion played in the water.
• Luo Hao explained to Ning Rongrong that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s auspicious fortune drew Soul Beasts to her and could even inspire them to attack the Sun Moon Empire.

Luo Hao placated the girls after they learned about Lilian, then kept them curious by describing the Sun Moon Empire’s Soul Tools and customs. Half a month later, his fleet reached Bolton City, a small fishing port with no foreign trade.

• Hu Liena revealed that Luo Hao had met a woman in the Sun Moon Empire, and the girls confronted him for keeping it secret.
• Luo Hao explained that he had not succeeded with Lilian and described her as a hidden ally based in Suoluo City.
• Luo Hao told the girls about the Sun Moon Empire’s customs and abundant Soul Tools, leaving them eager to see them for themselves.
• Half a month later, Luo Hao’s fleet arrived at Bolton, a small port city inhabited by fishermen and lacking foreign trade.

Luo Hao arrived at a Sun Moon Empire port with Xiao Wu’s group and diplomatic delegations, intending to begin with trade and learn about the empire before considering war. After Ghost Douluo frightened the local soldiers and officials with his power, Luo Hao left the negotiations to him.

• Luo Hao kept his large ships offshore and brought the delegations and Xiao Wu’s group to the port in a smaller vessel.
• Hu Liena and the others found the port shabby, and the fishermen fled when they saw the approaching ships.

• Ghost Douluo released his level-ninety-eight aura, overwhelming the soldiers and causing their Soul Guidance Cannons to explode.
• Luo Hao told Ghost Douluo not to frighten the locals too much and left the port affairs in his hands.

Luo Hao prepared to leave for Suoluo City to check on the people he had stationed there and meet with Soul Palace, but Ice Empress insisted on accompanying him. He agreed, and they set out together while Ice Empress reflected on her growing worries about her place in his heart.

• Luo Hao left the harbor operation and the newly promoted Titled Douluo in Ghost Douluo's hands while he settled Xiao Wu and the others at a hotel.
• Luo Hao explained that he planned to visit Suoluo City to check on Bora, Lilian, and the people he had left behind, and to discuss bringing Soul Palace under his control.
• Ice Empress accused Luo Hao of going to see Lilian and clung to his arm, insisting that she would go with him.
• Luo Hao agreed to take Ice Empress along and led her outside by the hand.
• Ice Empress followed Luo Hao, thinking about Snow Empress's warnings and deciding she needed to vet the women he pursued.

Luo Hao took Ice Empress out for barbecue in a coastal city while news of a possible sea invasion circulated among the locals. In Suoluo City, Lilian continued waiting for Luo Hao to return and resolved to seek him out once she was strong enough.

• Ice Empress was surprised when Luo Hao agreed to take her along, then snuggled into his arms.
• Luo Hao and Ice Empress walked through the coastal city, where locals dismissed rumors of foreign enemies invading from the sea.
• Ice Empress spotted a barbecue stall and asked Luo Hao for food, so he took her inside.
• Lilian waited at the City Lord's Manor, thinking about how long Luo Hao had been gone.
• Lilian recalled that she had reached Spirit King level in less than half a year and had been saved from danger by a Soul Saint Luo Hao left behind.
• Lilian decided that if Luo Hao did not return, she would go find him once she became strong enough.

Luo Hao met with Bora, his agent in the Sun Moon Empire, and learned that Bora had protected Lilian from a noble’s attempt to abduct her. Bora handed over a jade waist token from the noble convoy, leaving Luo Hao to question why he had kept it.

• Luo Hao left the Ice Empress and summoned Bora in a dark alley, telling him to coordinate with Ghost General and explaining that Spirit Hall had become the Spirit Hall Empire.
• Bora reported his activities and said Lilian had reached the Spirit King rank.
• Bora told Luo Hao that a noble had tried to abduct Lilian after discovering her unusual cultivation.
• Bora said he had killed the three Soul Emperors and wiped out the noble convoy to protect Lilian.
• Bora handed Luo Hao a jade waist token, and Luo Hao asked why he had been carrying it.

Luo Hao rewarded Bora with a soul bone for building an intelligence network, then considered the tracking token and the risks from the dead noble’s family. He returned to find Ice Empress eating barbecue, and the two left the stall after she drank too much.

• Luo Hao gave Bora a soul bone and praised his service.
• Luo Hao realized the noble’s waist token was a tracking device, but decided he would kill anyone who came after him.
• Luo Hao reflected that Bora had organized local thugs into an intelligence network and sent him to report to Ghost Douluo.
• Luo Hao returned to Ice Empress, who was eating barbecue, and teased her about her appetite.
• Luo Hao supported the drunken Ice Empress as they left the barbecue stall.

Luo Hao detected a signal from the badge and left the drunken Ice Empress at the hotel to investigate, despite her wanting him to stay. In Bimon City, three members of the Sam Family headed toward Bolton City after the signal appeared, hoping to learn what happened to their missing Third Young Master.

• Ice Empress teased Luo Hao about liking Drunken Beauty, then climbed onto his back after drinking.
• Luo Hao sensed a signal from the badge and carried the sleepy Ice Empress back to their hotel room.
• Ice Empress grabbed Luo Hao and asked him to stay, but he left after sensing a Soul Douluo and two Soul Saints approaching.
• Three Sam Family members raced from Bimon City toward Bolton City after receiving the badge signal.
• The Sam Family had spent months searching for their missing Third Young Master and his four Soul Emperor guards, who had last disappeared in Bimon City.

Luo Hao captured three men in black who had tracked the waist badge, trapping them in separate dark spaces inside his Time World so he could question them later. He returned to the hotel and settled into bed with Ice Empress.

• The three men in black followed the waist badge’s signal to the barbecue stall, where Luo Hao was eating grilled fish.
• The leading Soul Saint demanded to know where Luo Hao had gotten the identity jade badge, then attacked him with a Soul Power hand.
• Luo Hao used his right eye’s spatial power to pull the three men and the incoming attack into his Time World.
• The Soul Saint found himself trapped in an impenetrably dark space, while the other two men were confined in identical spaces.
• Luo Hao teleported back to Ice Empress’s room and held her as they went to sleep.

Luo Hao observed a Sun Moon Empire Titled Douluo arrive at Bolton City’s manor, where Ghost Douluo told him their plans would proceed whether he agreed or not. The visitor was stunned that foreign forces had crossed the ocean with warships, and the chapter left him facing the threat of a fleet the empire had thought impossible.

• Ice Empress woke in Luo Hao’s arms, teased him about pushing her away, and then stayed with him before he left.
• Luo Hao headed toward the City Lord’s manor, where Ghost Douluo and his people had taken control of Bolton City’s upper ranks.
• Luo Hao sensed that a Rank 91 Titled Douluo had arrived and watched the manor’s meeting from outside.
• Ghost Douluo told Max that their plans were not a negotiation and that his agreement would make no difference.
• Max, a minister of the Sun Moon Empire’s Administration Department, learned that Luo Hao’s forces had crossed the ocean and was shocked by their warships.

Luo Hao heard how Ghost Douluo had forced the Sun Moon Empire’s minister to back down and approved the plan to build influence through trade rather than conquest. He left Ghost Douluo to expand their foothold gradually, while the costs and outcome of any future war remained unresolved.

• Mephisto silenced his subordinate after Ghost Douluo left, then abandoned the dispute rather than risk provoking the powerful Titled Douluo.
• Luo Hao met Ghost Douluo, who reported that their merchants had established themselves in several nearby cities.
• Ghost Douluo asked why they did not simply seize the Sun Moon Empire, arguing that he could defeat its Titled Douluo.
• Luo Hao said conquest would cause unnecessary deaths, strain the newly stabilized Spirit Hall Empire, and leave them unable to govern the territory.
• Luo Hao backed gradual infiltration and expansion instead of launching a war.

Luo Hao explained why the Sun Moon Empire required careful infiltration rather than an all-out war, then remembered the captives he had imprisoned in his Time World. He brought the surviving Soul Saint, Sean, out of the darkness and began interrogating him.

• Luo Hao argued that conquering the Sun Moon Empire by force would leave it ruined, so controlling its imperial family would require long-term planning.
• Ghost Douluo accepted Luo Hao's reasoning, though he still regretted passing up the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tool technology.
• Luo Hao planned to visit Suoluo City to see Lilian after his fleet arrived.
• Luo Hao recalled the three captives in his Time World and found that only Sean remained alive after enduring about ten days in the dark room.
• Luo Hao brought Sean into a brightly lit room and asked his name, and Sean answered that he was Sean.
