Among everything on the Sun-Moon Continent, the place Yang Podi was most interested in was Mingde Hall, which was also the core of all soul engineers across the continent.
Rather than calling Mingde Hall the heart of a Soul Master Academy, it would be more accurate to call it the technological center of the entire Sun-Moon Continent. It housed a vast number of soul engineers, including quite a few high-level Soul Masters.
At the same time, Mingde Hall was also the Sun-Moon Empire's central manufacturing base. Only the elite of the academy were allowed to work there. This place had the strongest soul engineers of the Sun-Moon Empire, as well as the most precise and powerful soul tools.
After contemplating for a moment, Yang Podi stepped directly into Mingde Hall.
This place had everything—precious metals, talent, manufacturing facilities, and the most comprehensive research data on soul tools.
After three days of wandering through Mingde Hall and the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, Yang Podi finally began his operation.
With his meticulous actions, countless books, materials, finished soul tools, and unfinished prototypes were stored inside his soul tool storage. If not for the fact that some large-scale soul tools were directly connected to entire buildings, Yang Podi would have even considered taking the entire structures with him.
As for all the people he encountered, he either knocked them unconscious with soul power or trapped them in an illusion, rendering them completely unaware.
In short, Yang Podi executed a full-scale plundering operation within Mingde Hall and the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy—taking everything of value.
After two days of looting, Mingde Hall was stripped completely clean. Aside from the large-scale equipment that couldn't be taken, everything else was gone. Yang Podi now had countless soul tool storage devices filled with loot. There were so many items that he had even prepared a specialized bag to carry them all.
He also captured more than ten promising soul engineers, knocking them unconscious and placing them into soul tools capable of storing living beings. He planned to decide their fate after returning to Heavenly Academy.
When all was said and done, no one noticed anything. Nearly everyone in the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy was either trapped in illusions or had been knocked unconscious.
With everything completed, Yang Podi spread his wings and flew away from the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, departing from the Sun-Moon Empire altogether.
With this trip to the Sun-Moon Continent, both of his objectives had been achieved—he had acquired the spirit ring he wanted and a vast amount of soul tools. In fact, he had obtained far more than he had originally planned.
Furthermore, Yang Podi's looting operation would deal a severe blow to the Sun-Moon Empire's economy and technological development. It was uncertain whether Mingde Hall could even recover within a hundred years.
But none of that had anything to do with Yang Podi anymore—he had already vanished without a trace, as if he had never been there at all.
After six full days of flying toward the east, Yang Podi finally arrived at his next destination—Sea God Island.
Since he had already made it to Sea God Island, and it was rare for him to travel overseas, he figured he might as well finish the Asura God trial as soon as possible.
On Sea God Island, after more than ten days of recovery, Tang San seemed to have regained his fighting spirit once again.
However, unlike before, Tang San's entire temperament had changed drastically. If he had once been an extreme-minded youth solely focused on gaining strength, then now, he had become even more extreme.
His entire aura had become exceptionally cold, and his eyes burned with endless hatred and fury. His face had also twisted into a grotesque expression of resentment.
More notably, Tang San's training had grown even more relentless. The Tidal Body Refining Trial he had previously endured for only eight hours had now pushed his body to another breakthrough, allowing him to persist for a full ten hours.
Moreover, the flames of vengeance in Tang San's eyes seemed to grow stronger with time.
Even with Bo Saixi and Xiao Wu repeatedly trying to persuade him, Tang San refused to let go of his obsession. Instead, he became even colder, and his Blue Silver Grass martial soul also started to turn darker. It seemed to be developing toward the Dark Blue Silver Grass of ten thousand years later.
Of course, among those present, there was another person experiencing a similar change—Dai Mubai.
Upon hearing that the Star Luo Empire's royal family had been wiped out, Dai Mubai was completely stunned. He never imagined that the Star Luo Empire, which had stood strong for countless years and was arguably the most militarily powerful nation on the continent, would fall so silently.
As for the others, they were all deeply concerned. The recent upheaval on Douluo Continent had affected everyone significantly.
With the destruction of the Star Luo Empire's royal family, the Zhu Clan, who were affiliated with the royal family, were likely also doomed. This meant that Zhu Zhuqing's family had probably been completely eradicated as well.
Meanwhile, Tai Long and Bai Xiaofei, whose Strength Clan and Speed Clan were subsidiaries of the Clear Sky Sect, were also in grave danger. With the Clear Sky Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire both destroyed, their clans, which were located in the imperial city, were unlikely to fare any better.
At this point, Tang San, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Tai Long, and Bai Xiaofei all faced the same grim reality—their families were either already annihilated or teetering on the brink of destruction.
Everyone was filled with rage, yet at the same time, they felt utterly powerless. After all, their strength was simply too weak to change anything.
When Yang Podi returned to Sea God Island, Tang San's group followed Bo Saixi and confronted him.
With a fierce and menacing expression, Tang San demanded,"Yang Podi, what happened to my father? What happened to the Clear Sky Sect?!"
Yang Podi merely shook his head slightly and replied,"I'm not entirely sure. The Spirit Empire took action months ago, and after their latest soul-hunting operation, I never heard any news about the Clear Sky Sect again."
At that moment, Dai Mubai anxiously interjected "What about my Star Luo Empire's royal family?! Our royal lineage has lasted for thousands of years, and our military power even surpassed the Spirit Empire's. We also had the Netherworld White Tiger martial soul fusion technique. How could we fall so easily?!"
Yang Podi let out a cold laugh,
"The Netherworld White Tiger is indeed powerful, but the Spirit Empire deployed over a dozen Titled Douluos. I sensed the presence of many Titled Douluos, as well as over a thousand high-level Soul Sages. As for the specifics, I don't know."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned deathly pale.
Based on Yang Podi's account, the Spirit Empire had launched a large-scale attack with more than ten Titled Douluos and over a thousand Soul Sages. What force in the world could possibly resist such an assault?
Then, Yang Podi turned his gaze toward Bai Xiaofei and Tai Long, the two who had once followed him like loyal subordinates. His expression darkened slightly.
"Oh, and there's one more thing. When I passed by Sea God Island, I sensed the presence of the Strength Clan and the Speed Clan, but their numbers had dwindled to less than a hundred. Also, I noticed that the Golden Iron Triangle of Shrek Academy seemed to be there as well."
Hearing this, Tai Long and Bai Xiaofei were immediately overcome with sorrow, their eyes flooded with tears.
Originally, their two great clans had expanded to over five hundred members after so many years of development. But now, after enduring two consecutive soul-hunting operations by the Spirit Empire, their combined numbers had been reduced to less than a hundred—not even one in ten had survived. Their situation was utterly tragic.
