• Xu Da recognized Lin Hao and activated the ship’s three golden dragon defenses, but Lin Hao shrank them into his palm and enclosed the ship in a star-filled space that cut off its supply of primordial qi.

Lin Hao used his pocket world to capture Xu Da and destroy the Sunrise-class Magic Ship, then returned to the Hehuan Sect while the Myriad Transformations Immortal Dynasty investigated Marquis Weiyuan’s disappearance. Mystery True Lord traced the group’s route to the site of the attack but found no battle signs, only clues suggesting a pocket-world artifact, a spatial rift, or the demon race.

Lin Hao then nominated himself for alliance leader, drawing support from the demonic sects and Sword Palace, leaving Zhao Wuji stunned as the candidates remained contested.

After Zhao Wuji proposed combining artifact refining with formations for fairness, Lin Hao agreed and chose himself and Liu Qingqing to face True Lord Lie Lu and Prince Xiang in the remaining contests.

• Lin Hao asked Liu Qingqing to lend him her divine soul, then used their merged souls and his computing network to control Flying Swords as a high-speed CNC workshop.
