The recovery-type soul tools they carried were not enough to allow them to quickly restore their soul power after dealing with a Level 98 soul master.
However, killing Titled Douluo below the super-level was relatively easy for them—just like the current situation.
Di Tian instantly appeared in front of a Level 93 Titled Douluo and threw a punch at lightning speed.
His appearance was extremely sudden. Faced with absolute suppression in strength, the man instinctively felt fear and failed to react in time.
The punch landed heavily on his chest, twisting his face in pain. After letting out a miserable scream, he was blasted backward.
This single punch—using only fifty percent of Di Tian's strength—directly caved in the chest armor of the man's three-character battle armor.
After sending him flying, Di Tian immediately pursued, rapidly closing the distance and throwing another punch.
The man forcibly endured the pain in his chest and crossed his arms in defense. The moment they made contact, his arms failed to withstand the tremendous force and were slammed back into his chest.
His entire body shot backward like a cannonball. Both his arms and chest were wracked with intense pain, and the metal of his battle armor was visibly dented.
Di Tian only used his right hand and legs to attack. In his left hand, he held a milk-bottle-shaped soul tool.
This soul tool was called a Milk Bottle. It stored a large amount of soul power that soul masters could absorb to restore their own.
Ten thousand years ago, Milk Bottle soul tools already existed. After millennia of development, their storage capacity had greatly increased, and Level-Nine Milk Bottles had appeared.
The one in Di Tian's hand was precisely a Level-Nine Milk Bottle. When fully filled with soul power, it was enough to completely restore even an extreme-level powerhouse to full soul power.
The greatest feature of a Level-Nine Milk Bottle was its ability to store attribute-aligned soul power.
Simply put, the user could infuse their own soul power into it in advance. When absorbing it later, the speed would be nearly twice as fast as absorbing unaligned soul power.
Di Tian had already infused it with his own soul power beforehand. Now that he was absorbing it, the speed was extremely fast—fast enough to keep output and recovery in balance.
This was also because he wasn't expending much soul power. Fighting a Level 93 Titled Douluo did not consume much energy for him.
The Level-Nine Milk Bottles were purchased from the Federation Research Institute at a cost of two billion Federation coins, for a total of fifty units.
All of these had been prepared by Yun Ze for this battle. Everyone had one; figures like Di Tian, Lin Yi, Xiong Jun, the King of Ten Thousand Beasts, and Bi Ji were each equipped with two.
Of course, the two billion Federation coins were bought on credit. Payment would be made once the Dragon-Phoenix Hall's bank accounts were unfrozen.
Lin Yi also engaged a slightly weaker Titled Douluo—fighting with one hand while holding a milk bottle in the other to recover soul power.
He and Di Tian had to maintain peak condition and avoid excessive soul power consumption.
The two perfectly embodied the saying "pick the soft persimmons to squeeze." Fighting Level 93–94 Titled Douluo was practically child's play for them.
Once the battle erupted, the scene became extremely chaotic. Excluding Yun Ze and Gu Yuena, both sides had fifty-five Titled Douluo participating. The spectacle was truly shocking.
All combat took place in the sky. Initially, everyone had been gathered together, but once fighting began, they all spread out.
Every few hundred meters, pairs of fighters clashed fiercely—some places even saw chaotic melees involving several people.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sky echoed with continuous energy collisions, like urgent peals of thunder. Space itself trembled.
The sky within several kilometers had been dyed in countless colors—caused by the various elemental energies in play.
Yun Ze and Gu Yuena hovered calmly in the air. Bi Ji and another hundred-thousand-year-level Emerald Swan were right beside them.
The Flame Nine-Headed Bird and the Lava Monarch mecha had already appeared and joined the battle.
In the sky, the Flame Nine-Headed Bird continuously spewed fireballs, while Yun Ze used his flame-control ability to manipulate those flames.
With their coordination, the originally straight-flying fireballs suddenly seemed to gain life, able to alter their trajectories.
Attacks that might have hit allies no longer posed any such risk under Yun Ze's control.
One fireball after another rained down on the enemy Titled Douluo, causing immense trouble.
They not only had to face opponents equal to themselves, but also constantly guard against the fireballs. Distracted, it was inevitable that they would fall into a disadvantage.
With the help of its thrusters, the Lava Monarch ran freely through the air, a massive yet agile giant.
On Shrek's side, a Purple-Flame Demonic Lion soul master was locked in a confrontation with a man transformed from a seventy-thousand-plus-year Golden Crocodile King.
The two clashed head-on in raw strength. With the amplification of three-character battle armor, the Purple-Flame Demonic Lion soul master held the advantage.
The Golden Crocodile King's arms trembled. Despite specializing in strength, he was at a disadvantage and already struggling to hold on.
At that moment, the thrusters on the Lava Monarch's back surged to higher power, its speed skyrocketing. A fist even larger than the man himself smashed out.
The Lava Monarch's body was equipped with dozens of thrusters. As it threw the punch, the thrusters on its arm ignited.
Where the fist passed, the air exploded, generating scorching gusts of wind. A punch exceeding three hundred thousand jin of force slammed into the man's back.
Sensing the violent energy from behind, the man tried to dodge.
The Golden Crocodile King coordinated perfectly, grabbing him and preventing his immediate escape.
"Ah—!"
The Purple-Flame Demonic Lion soul master screamed in agony. His back armor shattered, and the punch directly broke most of the bones in his back.
The force was so overwhelming that his body crashed into the Golden Crocodile King, making even the latter feel a stifling pressure in his chest.
After throwing the punch, the Lava Monarch paid no further attention to whether the man lived or died and moved on to seek another target.
The Golden Crocodile King quickly recovered. With little effort, he finished off the severely wounded man.
The first soul master to fall in this battle was this three-character battle-armor master from Shrek Academy.
The Dragon-Phoenix Hall had the advantage in numbers, and with the addition of mecha, situations of many against few were inevitable.
In a battle of life and death, there was no talk of fair one-on-one duels. Their only goal was to use every possible means to kill the enemy.
Yun Ze's mission for the Lava Monarch mecha was simple: act as a sneak attacker—wait for the right moment and strike from behind.
Bi Ji and the other Emerald Swan monitored the battlefield, ready to provide healing at any moment.
The battle had only just begun, so there were few wounded for now. Later on, when injuries piled up, they would be extremely busy.
Gu Yuena released various elemental attacks, interfering with the enemy and helping her side gain the upper hand.
"You should stop attacking for now. Try fully activating your bloodline."
Yun Ze said to Gu Yuena beside him.
Gu Yuena, holding her elemental staff, froze for a moment. Then she realized something, her expression lighting up with sudden understanding as she tapped her forehead in annoyance.
"How could I forget this? With my quasi–Dragon God bloodline, I can help them using bloodline power!"
Gu Yuena put away her elemental staff and stopped attacking, fully activating her quasi–Dragon God bloodline.
Nine-colored energy spilled out from her body, rapidly spreading in all directions.
