With the Clear Sky Clan coming out of seclusion, Spirit Hall was in a rather frustrated state.
In Spirit Hall, Pope Bibi Dong's face was particularly grim as she sat on her throne. She hadn't expected that their operation against the Upper Three Sects would end in such a result.
Especially with six elders from the Worship Hall taking action, they still failed to subdue the Clear Sky Clan. Instead, the casualty ratio between their ordinary spirit masters and the Clear Sky Clan's was 3:1. This made Bibi Dong feel like cursing those six elders as useless.
Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been annihilated, the Clear Sky Clan, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and Heaven Dou Empire were now clearly united, working together against Spirit Hall. Particularly, the new headquarters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Clear Sky Clan were clearly a move to huddle together for warmth.
In the Heaven Dou City region alone, there were seven Titled Douluo present, making the area practically impenetrable. The infiltration plan seemed impossible to carry out. If Qian Renxue's identity was even slightly exposed, she would immediately be surrounded and eliminated by the three forces, which would result in severe losses.
Moreover, after Ghost Douluo's investigation, it was discovered that during the attack on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, someone had taken advantage of the chaos and stolen the clan's treasures from three of their vaults. However, there was no trace of this person to be found.
After careful consideration, Bibi Dong ultimately decided to implement the new Seven Great Clans plan.
Spirit Hall officially announced that they would send people to investigate and severely punish the culprits responsible for attacking the two clans (no one knew the Clear Sky Clan had also been attacked). At the same time, they declared that, given the significant losses suffered by the Upper Three Sects, a new election for the Seven Great Clans would be held in one year.
If the Clear Sky Clan and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan participated, it would signify their acknowledgment of Spirit Hall's leadership in the spirit master world. If they didn't participate, it would play right into Bibi Dong's plans, allowing her to reshuffle the power dynamics of the spirit master world.
At Heavenly Academy, everyone had made progress in their cultivation after rigorous training. Among them, Ye Lingling and Yang Ping'an, after absorbing a few top-tier spirit bones, officially reached level 90, just one spirit ring short of becoming Titled Douluo.
Although Niu Meng replaced one of his spirit bones, he remained at level 83. Dugu Yan, after absorbing two spirit bones, reached level 85.
Yang Tianyue's spirit power advanced even faster, breaking through to level 87.
As for Yang Zhentian, he continued his secluded cultivation. It was uncertain how long it would take for him to emerge, but when he did, it was expected that he would reach level 97.
Yang Podi also received news from Ye Renxin, confirming that Tang Hao had been seriously injured. The cause was his forced use of the Great Sumeru Hammer technique, validating Yang Podi's suspicions that the Clear Sky Clan had recently fought a major battle. The original seven Titled Douluo had been reduced to five, which was a pleasant surprise for him.
Recently, Yang Podi had been focusing on cultivating at home. On one hand, he wanted to deal with external visitors before leaving, and on the other, he was waiting for his grandfather, Yang Wudi, to finish refining the Exploding Soul Pills. This time, they required a large number of Exploding Soul Pills, which would take considerable time to produce.
However, after half a month of waiting, neither the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan nor the Clear Sky Clan came to visit, not even Spirit Hall. Finally, Yang Podi decided to head to the Star Dou Forest to obtain his spirit ring.
Early in the morning, the six of them set out directly for the Star Dou Forest. Second Grandpa Yang Wushuang stayed behind to guard the family, deeming it more important than overseeing the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The group moved quickly and reached the Star Dou Forest in just three days.
They headed straight to the core area of the Star Dou Forest for exploration. Their goals this time were diverse, especially Ye Lingling's spirit ring. Finding a 100,000-year-old plant-type spirit beast was even harder than other types of spirit beasts. Of course, if they found a 90,000-year-old one, they could consider it as well.
After some searching, they first encountered a 94,000-year-old Thunder Dragon. The Thunder Dragon was 30 meters long, its body covered in lightning, and its path scorched black, clearly an extraordinarily powerful lightning-attribute spirit beast.
This Thunder Dragon was perfect for Yang Ping'an, especially since he already had three lightning-attribute spirit bones. If he could gain a 100,000-year-old lightning-attribute spirit bone, along with the Nine-Grade Dragon Ginseng he had consumed earlier, his strength would increase significantly.
After some effort, they used two Exploding Soul Pills to raise the Thunder Dragon's age to 100,000 years.
However, the Thunder Dragon's combat power was incredibly strong, with astonishing speed and fierce attack power. Defeating it would not be easy.
The moment the Thunder Dragon broke through to the 100,000-year level and before it could fully adapt, the six of them launched a coordinated attack.
Yang Podi moved with incredible speed, flashing forward with his Breaking Soul Spear in hand. With a powerful thrust, he pierced the Thunder Dragon, injuring it despite its formidable defenses.
The other five quickly followed up with their attacks. Yang Tianyue, wielding the Sea God's Trident, struck with immense force. Weighing 108,000 jin, the trident's attack was unstoppable, even against the strongest defensive spirit beasts.
Under their combined assault, the Thunder Dragon collapsed in less than a few minutes, left barely breathing.
Yang Ping'an delivered the final blow, creating a massive 100,000-year spirit ring.
The process of absorbing the spirit ring was relatively straightforward. Yang Tianyue used the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to envelop everyone, including the Thunder Dragon, and they all disappeared instantly.
It took Yang Ping'an five full days to absorb the Thunder Dragon's spirit ring and spirit bone. Remarkably, the Thunder Dragon yielded a 100,000-year-old torso spirit bone, a true treasure.
After absorbing the spirit ring and spirit bone, Yang Ping'an's Breaking Soul Spear underwent a transformation. Instead of evolving into the Dragon Soul Spear as initially expected, it gained an exceptionally strong lightning attribute and was renamed the Thunder Dragon Spear.
Yang Ping'an's spirit power reached level 92, and his combat power was now comparable to that of a typical level 95 Titled Douluo. Additionally, he awakened a domain—not the Breaking Soul Domain but the Thunder Domain, making Yang Podi question whether Yang Ping'an was inherently suited to lightning attributes.
After all, even Yu Yuanzhen, who had a lifetime of lightning-attribute spirit rings, never awakened a Thunder Domain.
The group continued their search but failed to find any plant-type spirit beasts over 90,000 years old, and even those over 80,000 years were scarce, leaving Ye Lingling disheartened.
One day, as they passed through a forest, the ground suddenly began to shake violently. It felt as if a massive spirit beast was moving, and all the surrounding spirit beasts fled as though encountering something terrifying.
The six of them exchanged glances and quickly headed toward the source of the tremors.
They soon saw a massive bull-like spirit beast walking ahead. This beast was over 50 meters long, with an enormous body that was utterly intimidating.
Yang Podi observed the beast carefully and gasped. "A 100,000-year-old Gluttonous Divine Bull."
Indeed, this beast was a Gluttonous Divine Bull. While it resembled ordinary bull-type spirit beasts, its body was covered in thick scales, and its enormous horns radiated a menacing aura. The Gluttonous Divine Bull stood 15 meters tall, and each step it took left a deep imprint in the ground.
Initially, Yang Podi had considered choosing a Thousand Ton Ant Emperor as his earth-attribute spirit beast. But now, encountering this 100,000-year-old Gluttonous Divine Bull, a pinnacle earth-attribute spirit beast, it was far superior to the Thousand Ton Ant Emperor.
Moreover, this Gluttonous Divine Bull was a genuine 100,000-year-old spirit beast, far stronger than pseudo-100,000-year-old beasts. In later generations, Xuanzi's martial soul was a Gluttonous Divine Bull, which allowed him to cultivate to level 99.
At Yang Podi's command, the six of them swiftly charged at the Gluttonous Divine Bull.
Facing the sudden attack, the Gluttonous Divine Bull roared, "Humans! How dare you provoke me! You court death!"
With just a roar, the entire space seemed to tremble. A massive pressure descended on the six of them. Clearly, this Gluttonous Divine Bull possessed ultimate earth and strength attributes, akin to a gravity domain.
Yang Podi gritted his teeth against the immense pressure, summoning his Breaking Soul Spear and nine spirit rings, and launched an all-out attack.
The Gluttonous Divine Bull, however, was fearless. It charged forward with its massive horns, clashing head-on with the Breaking Soul Spear. The collision caused the entire space to shake violently.
However, the Gluttonous Divine Bull before him showed no fear, charging straight at him with its massive horns. The Breaking Soul Spear clashed with the bull's horns, causing the entire surrounding space to tremble violently.
This clash sent Yang Podi flying five meters away. It was the first time Yang Podi had been forced back since becoming a Titled Douluo.
Meanwhile, the other five members of the team found themselves significantly slowed down under the bull's gravity domain. Their attacks were far less effective than usual. The only one whose attacks seemed to make a difference was Yang Tianyue. Her Seagod Trident appeared capable of standing on equal footing with the Taotie Divine Bull in terms of raw power.
Judging by the size of the Gluttonous Divine Bull, it had far surpassed the 100000-year mark. Its weight alone exceeded the Seagod Trident's legendary 108,000 jin.
Yang Podi couldn't help but smile. The stronger this soul beast was, the more significant the improvement it would bring to his strength.
This time, Yang Podi swung his Breaking Soul Spear, unleashing countless spear lights that shot towards the Gluttonous Divine Bull. However, the bull's defense was astonishingly robust. The spear lights managed only to inflict minor wounds without causing substantial damage.
As Yang Podi adjusted his stance, the spear lights seemed to converge into one, forming a massive beam of light that aimed to pierce through the Gluttonous Divine Bull.
Yet, the Taotie Divine Bull demonstrated its ferocity, using its immense horns to block the attack. Surprisingly, it successfully deflected the strike, leaving Yang Podi both startled and excited.
This time, Yang Podi activated his weapon's true form, summoning a colossal version of the Breaking Soul Spear. With it in hand, he launched himself at the Gluttonous Divine Bull. Before the beast could counter with its horns, Yang Podi's figure vanished and reappeared above it, driving the spear into the bull's back.
This strike penetrated the bull's back, leaving a massive, gaping wound.
The Gluttonous Divine Bull roared in pain, swinging its enormous tail, which carried the force to split mountains and crack rocks.
Yang Podi, gripping his Breaking Soul Spear, slashed downward with all his might. The spear's blade met the bull's tail mid-swing, severing it entirely.
The Gluttonous Divine Bull let out another heart-wrenching cry, this time even more anguished than before.
Meanwhile, Yang Tianyue and Yang Ping'an launched coordinated strikes against the bull's abdomen, leaving two more wounds. However, these injuries were relatively shallow.
Yang Podi's eighth soul ring lit up, unleashing his eighth soul skill, "Earth Behemoth Break." A massive projection of the Breaking Soul Spear formed and shot towards the Gluttonous Divine Bull. Despite the bull's desperate attempt to resist, the spear pierced into its massive head, shattering one of its famously impenetrable horns.
With the overwhelming power of Yang Podi's Hundred-thousand-year soul skill, the Gluttonous Divine Bull finally collapsed. A gigantic red soul ring appeared above its body, indicating the immense energy it held—comparable even to the Golden Behemoth Yang Podi had encountered before.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Yang Podi summoned his true body martial soul and prepared to absorb the soul ring.
Yang Tianyue once again activated the Vast Sea Shroud Cover, enveloping both Yang Podi and the gluttonous Divine Bull within, creating a shield against any potential outside interference.
The process of absorbing the soul ring took two full days. Once completed, Yang Podi dissected the gluttonous Divine Bull's corpse, eventually discovering a 100000-year right arm bone.
After some contemplation, Yang Podi decided to absorb this soul bone as well. Its immense power perfectly suited his preference for strength-based enhancements.
Once Yang Podi had fully absorbed both the soul ring and the soul bone, his soul power had risen to the peak of rank 94, nearing rank 95.
