Background
The Breaking Clan was formerly one of the Clear Sky Sect's four single-attribute affiliated clans. When Martial Soul Hall attacked the Clear Sky Sect, the sect abandoned the Strength, Breaking, Agility, and Defense Clans and sealed its gates. The Breaking Clan resisted most fiercely and suffered the heaviest losses, with over half its members killed or injured. It later fled to a border city in the Star Luo Empire and survived through selling refined medicine 53.
Yang Wudi became clan head under the shadow of that betrayal. He and the entire Breaking Clan swore never again to become another faction's vassals, a conviction he defended even against the Title Douluo Dugu Bo 61.
The clan later relocated many members to the Ye Mansion and the Sunset Forest after Tang San's infiltration of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well. Its direct descendants, though mainly Soul Kings and Soul Emperors, inherit the pure offense-oriented Soul Breaking Spear and serve as a key protective force for Xing Tian's allies 276.
Personality
Yang Wudi is solitary, arrogant, direct, and fiercely proud. Before meeting Xing Tian, he cared above all for strengthening the Soul Breaking Spear and advancing the Breaking Clan's pharmaceutical arts 53.
His pride is rooted in both personal mastery and responsibility for his clan. Although he suppresses his temper when necessary to avoid further endangering the Breaking Clan, he refuses to sacrifice its independence or dignity 61.
After Xing Tian defeats the clan in spear techniques and poison arts, Yang Wudi's competitiveness becomes reverence and loyalty. He dedicates himself to becoming worthy of Xing Tian's trust, treating the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well's resources, poison arts, and his own cultivation as duties he must improve 70 88.
Yang Wudi is an intensely radical supporter of Xing Tian's ambitions. As the Immortal Church is founded, he advocates decisive public action against the Seven Great Families' Great Soul Arenas to establish the church's reputation, though Xing Tian reminds him to maintain proper official decorum in council 436.

Relationships
- Xing Tian — Master and lord.

Story Role / Major Arcs
Breaking Clan Recruitment
Dugu Bo and Xing Tian approach the Breaking Clan seeking its Herb Catalog and allegiance. Yang Wudi refuses outright, invoking the Clear Sky Sect's abandonment and the clan's vow never to serve another faction 61.
He accepts Xing Tian's wager: a contest of spear techniques and poison crafting. Xing Tian's ability to resist all poisons and his superior poison arts shake Yang Wudi's confidence, while the defeat of Yang Lie reflects the defeat of Yang Wudi's own spear teachings 62 63 66 70.
Yang Wudi ultimately submits the entire Breaking Clan to Xing Tian, calling submission to such a powerhouse an honor rather than humiliation 70.
Ice Fire Yin Yang Well
Xing Tian rewards Yang Wudi with the Aromatic Silk Beauty and later entrusts him with the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well and the Poison Canon 71 87.
Yang Wudi guards Xing Tian through a three-year closed-door cultivation period. His own insight into the spear path culminates in the Soul Breaking Spear Intent and a breakthrough to level 80 94.
Black-Veined Blood Spider Empress Hunt
After reaching level 80, Yang Wudi accompanies Xing Tian into the Star Dou Forest to hunt the Black-Veined Blood Spider Empress. He executes Xing Tian's plan and kills the more-than-fifty-thousand-year soul beast with the fifth form of the Charge Spear Technique, Sweep Across the World 95.
He absorbs its Soul Ring and left leg Soul Bone, becoming a level-82 Soul Douluo and gaining Blood God Possession 96.
Battle Against the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger
Yang Wudi joins Xing Tian, Qian Renxue, and She Long against the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Despite initial hatred upon recognizing Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel martial soul as tied to Spirit Hall, he restrains himself and fights with the group 99 101.
He employs poison, his Martial Soul Avatar, Blood God Possession, and his Eighth Soul Skill, Annihilate. His enhanced attack helps shatter the tiger's Evil God Protection, but the Soul Bone skill leaves him critically depleted afterward 102 103 106 107.
Service Under Xing Tian
Yang Wudi remains an active lieutenant in Xing Tian's forces. He is tasked with contacting the Defense Clan after the Ye Mansion is attacked, persuades Niu Gao to consider joining Xing Tian, advises on the Purple Imperial Bamboo Family's defenses, and receives delegated responsibilities during Xing Tian's campaigns 335 342 346 348.
After Tang Hao's reappearance and Tang San's theft from the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, Yang Wudi summons Breaking Clan members to reinforce the Ye Mansion and the Sunset Forest. He orders the members stationed at the Ye Mansion to obey Ye Renxin when he is absent 276.
During Xing Tian's campaign against the Seven Great Families, Yang Wudi helps plan the assault on the Heaven-Shaking Axe Jiang Family. Xing Tian assigns the Breaking Clan to encircle the Jiang Family, clear the battlefield, and collect its resources after the battle 344.
Single-Attribute Clan Expansion
Yang Wudi personally brings Niu Gao and the Defense Clan to the Ye Mansion under the pretext of rebuilding it. He argues that Titan's loyalty to Tang Hao offers no future to the single-attribute clans and successfully helps convince Niu Gao to join Xing Tian's side 335 342 343.
Following the Defense Clan's submission, Yang Wudi contacts Bai He and invites the Speed Clan to discuss joining as well. He supports Xing Tian's proposed use of bird-type marriage alliances or combat Soul Tools to overcome the Speed Clan's lack of offensive capability 343 402 405.
Immortal Church
When Xing Tian establishes the Immortal Church, Yang Wudi becomes Minister of the Medicine Department. He is among Xing Tian's most fervent supporters and argues that attacking the Seven Great Families' Great Soul Arenas is necessary to proclaim the new organization's existence 436.
Yang Wudi later returns with a jade bottle of medicinal pills whose effects substantially improve Soul Power, contributing to the church's growing strength 418.
Trivia
- Yang Wudi's name reflects the core of his spear intent: Break 94.
- He regards spear technique and poison refinement as the two greatest prides of his life 70.
- Yang Wudi once believed that neither Titan's strength, Niu Gao's defense, nor the Speed Clan patriarch's speed could withstand the “break” in his name 342.
