• Tai Yi learned from Ning Fengzhi that the allied forces totaled about six thousand people and asked him to locate rare ores and mineral veins on the other continent.

Tai Yi planned to use civilian-benefiting Soul Tools and policies to win the Sun Moon Continent’s trust, while secretly developing offensive Soul Tools as a fallback for the Spirit Hall Empire. At Vast Sea City, he found his forces assembled and confirmed that ships and supplies were ready for the expedition.

Ning Fengzhi asked Tai Yi for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast sacrifice, hoping to evolve his Martial Soul and become a Titled Douluo, but Tai Yi rejected the idea and offered him a seed of the Immortal Herb Ning Rongrong had absorbed. Tai Yi then set strict conditions for anyone seeking Spirit Rings or Spirit Bones from the Soul Beast clans under his command.

• Ning Fengzhi approached Tai Yi and asked whether one of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts could offer a sacrifice.
• The Demon King, Demon Empress, and Lan Fozu reacted with killing intent, and Tai Yi reminded Ning Fengzhi that the Soul Beasts pulling the ship belonged to their clans.
• Tai Yi told Ning Fengzhi that neither a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Bone nor Ning Rongrong's future godhood could resolve the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda's limitations.
• Tai Yi offered Ning Fengzhi the seed of the Immortal Herb Ning Rongrong had absorbed, promising to give it to him if he purchased discovered ore deposits for Tai Yi.
• Ning Fengzhi agreed to buy ore deposits, while Tai Yi explained that others could obtain the clans' Spirit Rings and Spirit Bones only by hunting them themselves or negotiating a sacrifice after gaining a divine position.

Tai Yi explained that humans would have to earn Divine Position Inheritances or negotiate with Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts themselves, prompting factions to plan for their own futures. Ten days after setting sail, the expedition reached the Sun Moon Continent, where Tai Yi considered how to secure a foothold and obtain Soul Tools.

• Tai Yi told the soul masters they had to defeat Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts themselves or earn Divine Position Inheritances through contributions before negotiating with them.
• The Titled Douluo resolved to work for Divine Position Inheritances for their descendants, while the Demon Marshals planned sacrifices for members of their own races.
• Qian Renxue asked Tai Yi whether his plans would cause chaos, and he said he would later restore Soul Beasts' ability to become gods by their own efforts.
• On the tenth day at sea, the expedition sighted the Sun Moon Continent, and Tai Yi and Qian Renxue watched from the Martial Soul.
• Tai Yi recalled the continent's three empires and considered whether to make the Starlight Empire surrender rather than fight it.

Tai Yi met Wang Xing, a Soul Saint from the embattled Starlight Empire, and learned that the empire was nearing defeat after years of war with the Azure Ashes Empire. Wang Xing mistook Tai Yi’s fleet for reinforcements, while Tai Yi left him believing they had come to end the war.

• Wang Xing approached Tai Yi’s fleet and asked to meet an elder from Sea God Island, believing High Priest Bo Saixi had sent aid.
• Tai Yi pressed Wang Xing with his Soul Power, then confirmed that they had come to help end the war without explaining what that meant.
• Wang Xing reported that the Azure Ashes Empire had taken two-thirds of Starlight territory, leaving only two provinces, while the Sun Moon Empire remained uninvolved.
• Wang Xing described the empires’ forces and said Starlight had lost its empress and most of its army, while Emperor Huo Yan and all five Azure Ashes Titled Douluo remained unharmed.

Tai Yi revealed that he had brought the Spirit Hall Empire to conquer the continent, not to help Sea God Island repel the Azure Ashes Empire. He demanded Wang Xing’s submission and left the fate of Star Sea City in his hands as the invasion force disembarked.

• Wang Xing realized that Tai Yi’s force looked like an invading army and feared it intended to unite the continent under its own rule.
• Tai Yi identified himself as the Pope and ruler of the Spirit Hall Empire, explained that he had come to unite the continent, and offered to spare Wang Xing if he submitted.
• Tai Yi warned Wang Xing that his choice would affect his family, daughter, and the fate of Star Sea City, while Pufferfish and Snake Lance watched him.
• More than two hundred ships docked, and Tai Yi’s forces disembarked at Star Sea City as its scattered defenders watched in fear.
• Wang Xing asked what submission would mean for him and the city’s people, and Tai Yi promised to spare civilians while threatening to eliminate anyone who resisted.

Wang Xing tried to surrender Star Sea City to Tai Yi, but Chen Ling seized control of the gates and rallied the defenders to resist. Tai Yi’s forces stormed the walls, leaving the city’s remaining defenders facing execution.

• Wang Xing ordered Star Sea City’s gates opened, but Chen Ling and his men killed the gate operators and shut them again.
• Chen Ling accused Wang Xing of betraying the Starlight Empire and declared that he would resist Tai Yi’s forces.
• Tai Yi gave the defenders three minutes to leave the walls and threatened to execute those who remained and their immediate families.
• Half the soldiers abandoned the walls after Wang Xing urged them to think of their families, and Chen Ling shot an arrow at Wang Xing.
• Tai Yi deflected the arrow and ordered his forces to kill the remaining defenders and anyone who resisted inside the city.
• Ning Fengzhi and the other powerful Soul Masters attacked the walls, killing the soldiers and accidentally killing Chen Ling with a Soul Skill.

Tai Yi took control of Star Sea City and ordered Wang Xing to purge the families of the rebels while Angel Legion soldiers secured the city. He then announced that the forces would split up to conquer the Starlight Empire, leaving the commanders eager to win posts and accumulate merit.

• Tai Yi stopped Wang Xing from seeking death by warning that further attempts would cause the city’s people to be branded rebels.
• After Chen Ling’s soldiers were wiped out, Tai Yi entered Star Sea City and accepted the surrender of the remaining troops.
• Tai Yi ordered Wang Xing to eliminate the rebels’ direct relatives and gave Snake Lance Douluo, Pufferfish Douluo, and the Angel Legion responsibility for securing Star Sea City.
• Tai Yi promised Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo an Immortal Herb for guarding the port and its ships, then sent them to remain in the city.
• Tai Yi announced that his forces would divide into groups to conquer the Starlight Empire, prompting Ning Fengzhi, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei to seek chances to gain command and merit.

Tai Yi divided his forces into four teams to attack in different directions and eliminate Evil Soul Masters, while he set out alone to investigate the Sun Moon Empire and recruit a powerful Soul Beast. He reached the tense border between the Azure Ashes Empire and the Sun Moon Empire, where both sides guarded against a sudden attack.

• Tai Yi assigned Qian Renxue, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi separate forces to attack north, east, and west, while he planned to travel alone.
• Tai Yi told Qian Renxue he would investigate Bright Capital and seek the nearly 800,000-year-old Soul Beast, then flew northwest from Star Sea City.
• Tai Yi saw Wang Xing, Snake Lance Douluo, and Pufferfish Douluo overseeing the slaughter of nobles and soul master clans that refused to submit.
• Tai Yi flew through occupied former Starlight Empire territory and observed that the Azure Ashes Empire let commoners live as before and monitored nobles who submitted.
• Tai Yi reached the border between the Azure Ashes Empire and the Sun Moon Empire, where both empires kept troops on guard despite their superficial cooperation.

Tai Yi crossed into the Sun Moon Empire and approached Bright Capital, where heavy security confirmed his suspicion that the city was researching Soul Tools. Kong Yueming confronted him and attacked with a Level Nine Soul Tool spear, while Tai Yi calmly chose to test it by blocking the strike with his bare hand.

• Tai Yi ignored the armies guarding the border and flew into the Sun Moon Empire.
• Tai Yi noticed the unusually heavy security around Bright Capital and suspected the city was hiding Soul Tool research.
• Kong Yueming confronted Tai Yi above Bright Capital and demanded that he leave.
• Tai Yi released an aura comparable to an ordinary Peerless Douluo, prompting Kong Yueming to reveal his spear Soul Tool.
• Kong Yueming fired the Level Nine Soul Tool spear at Tai Yi, who raised his hand to block it.

Tai Yi tested Kong Yueming’s Level Nine Soul Tools and easily overwhelmed his attacks, while Kong Yueming tried to lure him away from Bright Capital. Tai Yi realized Kong Yueming intended to use Soul Cannons and deliberately followed him toward a barren mountain to see their power.

• Kong Yueming’s Level Nine Soul Tools failed to harm Tai Yi, who blocked them without summoning his Martial Soul.
• Tai Yi attacked Kong Yueming, forcing him back despite the protection of a defensive Soul Tool.
• Kong Yueming considered calling Xu Tian for help, then decided to use the Level Nine Soul Cannons rather than save them for a future war.
• Kong Yueming enhanced himself with Bright Moon Over the Sea and tried to draw Tai Yi toward a barren mountain outside Bright Capital.
• Tai Yi recognized Kong Yueming’s plan to fire the Soul Cannons and deliberately followed him toward the mountain.

Tai Yi tested Bright Capital’s Ninth-Level Soul Cannons and revealed his overwhelming strength to Kong Yueming. Before killing Kong Yueming, he disclosed that he came from a continent across the sea and that his empire had begun occupying this continent.

• Kong Yueming lured Tai Yi to the barren mountains outside Bright Capital and restrained him to expose him to the city’s Soul Cannons.
• Tai Yi shielded himself with the Donghuang Bell’s Martial Soul Avatar and endured three Ninth-Level Soul Cannon shots without injury.
• Tai Yi broke the restraining Soul Tool and approached Kong Yueming, who was horrified by his nine golden-patterned, hundred-thousand-year Spirit Rings.
• Kong Yueming asked about Tai Yi’s origins, and Tai Yi said he ruled a continent across the sea whose empire had landed through the Starlight Empire and begun occupying the continent.
• Tai Yi prepared to kill Kong Yueming, who was left stunned by the revelation of another continent and its powerful people.

Tai Yi killed Kong Yueming and defeated Emperor Xu Tian’s Level Nine Soul Tool, forcing Xu Tian to confront him to protect Bright Capital and its people. Tai Yi summoned Di Tian and the others to capture Xu Chenghuang and seal off the city, leaving Bright Capital in panic.

• Tai Yi ignored Emperor Xu Tian’s warning and killed the already wounded Kong Yueming.
• Xu Tian attacked Tai Yi with his Level Nine Soul Tool, but the Donghuang Bell cracked his weapon and knocked him back.
• Xu Tian chose to fight rather than flee and ordered his son, Xu Chenghuang, to take the research results and escape.
• Tai Yi summoned Demon King, Di Tian, Ice Empress, Snow Empress, and five others, then ordered them to capture Xu Chenghuang and surround Bright Capital.
• Di Tian and the others captured Xu Chenghuang and guarded the city as their unleashed auras sent Bright Capital into panic.

Tai Yi captured Bright Capital and declared that the Spirit Hall Empire would unify the continent and purge its Evil Soul Masters. He rejected Xu Tian’s request to spare an infant from his bloodline and demanded answers about the Sun Moon Empire’s Soul Tool research.

• After Crown Prince Xu Chenghuang was captured and Bright Capital sealed, Xu Tian gave up fighting and asked Tai Yi to spare the city’s people.
• Tai Yi told the people of Bright Capital that he ruled the Spirit Hall Empire across the sea and had come to unify the continent and eliminate Evil Soul Masters.
• Civilians and low-ranked Soul Engineers stopped fleeing when they heard Tai Yi promise to purge the Evil Soul Masters.
• Tai Yi questioned Xu Tian about the origins and progress of the Sun Moon Empire’s Soul Tool methods and its Level Nine Soul Tools.
• Xu Tian agreed to answer only if Tai Yi left a trace of his bloodline, but Tai Yi refused and said he could obtain the empire’s records after occupying Bright Capital.
