Methods and Practices

- Its Protectors employ soul power, black soul chains, and formations designed to attack an opponent's soul 26 58.
- The organization restored Yun Shan as a ghostly, enhanced two-star Dou Zong, then allowed Wu Protector to consume Yun Shan's soul to increase his own cultivation 55 56 60.
- During the defense of Earth Hall, Soul Hall used a phantom array fueled by the sacrifice of innocent civilians; Xiao Tian broke the formation and freed its surviving captives 161.
- Its hall master directed the collection of soul bodies and the establishment of Soul-Devouring Life-Extinguishing Formations throughout the continent 159.
- Soul Hall received a grand formation from the Soul Clan, believing it could kill even a Dou Saint-level opponent when used collectively 159.
History
Soul Hall first intervened against Xiao Tian because the Xiao Clan possessed the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade. Wu Protector, a five-star Dou Zong, appeared alongside Yun Shan to capture him, establishing the organization as a direct threat to the Xiao Clan 26.
The Hall escalated its assault on Wutan City by dispatching four Dou Zong experts, including the resurrected Yun Shan. After several Protectors were killed, Wu Protector sacrificed Yun Shan's soul to reach six-star Dou Zong, but Xiao Tian ultimately killed him 55 60. A later force led by nine-star Dou Zong Mu Protector was likewise eliminated by Xiao Tian 67 68.
Soul Hall then sent a Dou Zun to destroy the Xiao Clan. The Venerable Elder's spatial assault endangered Wutan City, but Xiao Tian killed him with fused Heavenly Flames 79 80 82. Three further Dou Zuns—Mu Gu, Qinghai Venerable, and Qin Tian Venerable—attacked Xiao Tian's group at the Xiao Realm, seeking both Xiao Tian and the Xiao Clan's hidden treasures 96.
The conflict expanded into open war when Soul Hall attacked Falling Star Pavilion to eliminate the Xiao Clan. Its Eighth and Ninth Heavenly Venerables were killed, while later arrivals included Bone Nether Half-Saint and Hun Qing Saint 111 115 116. The Great Heavenly Venerable subsequently attempted to seize Xiao Tian on East Dragon Island, threatening war against the Ancient Void Dragon clan; Xiao Tian killed him despite his two-star Dou Saint cultivation 137 138.
After learning Soul Hall's location, Xiao Tian launched a surprise campaign against its Central Province network. His forces eradicated the Earth Fiend Halls, destroyed Human Hall, broke Earth Hall's defenses, and defeated the Deputy Hall Master 158 159 160 161. Hun Mie Sheng then confronted Xiao Tian personally, but the Hall was ultimately destroyed, after which Xiao Tian absorbed its resources and advanced to four-star Dou Saint 162 164.
