The destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was more like the Star Luo Empire slaughtering a chicken to frighten the monkeys.
The remaining sects, including the Clear Sky Sect, all surrendered afterward.
The Clear Sky Sect, in particular, did not even wait for the Star Luo Empire to come knocking. It went over to pledge allegiance on its own.
Then, after resting and regrouping for half a month, the Star Luo Empire's army marched out again.
This time, its target was clear: Spirit City.
The moment the news spread, the entire continent was shaken.
It was an even greater shock than Heaven Dou's fall.
Heaven Dou was an empire. Spirit Hall was a sacred land.
It was the highest sanctuary of the Soul Master World, with a legacy stretching back thousands of years.
The Star Luo Emperor's attack on Heaven Dou could be called the act of a mighty ruler seeking to unite the continent.
But attacking Spirit Hall meant digging up the roots of the entire Soul Master World.
"Has the Star Luo Emperor gone mad? Spirit Hall may have lost its cultivation, but it's still Spirit Hall! Qian Daoliu is still sitting in the Worship Hall! Bibi Dong is still the Pope!"
"So what? What levels could they possibly be at now? Not a single person in all of Spirit Hall has broken through to Soul Master. What's the difference between the Star Luo Emperor attacking Spirit Hall now and attacking Heaven Dou?"
"There's a huge difference! Spirit Hall has Spirit City. Its walls are a hundred feet high, and its moat is a hundred feet wide. Spirit Hall has spent centuries fortifying it. Its defenses are as tight as an iron barrel. Even if they're all Soul Scholars, defending a city is easier than taking one!"
