The effects of the pills were immediate. After consuming them, these people's auras surged at a pace visible to the naked eye.
"Roar—!"
One after another, excited and frenzied roars rang out—tiger roars, wolf howls, bird cries overlapping in succession. It sounded as if one had stepped straight into a primeval forest.
Sensing the changes in the members of Dragon-Phoenix Hall, both those fighting against them and those watching from afar were utterly shocked.
"What kind of pills did they take? Why did their strength suddenly skyrocket?"
The same question surfaced in everyone's mind.
The spectators wore expressions of astonishment and confusion, while those battling Dragon-Phoenix Hall were gripped mostly by fear.
If the enemy's strength had suddenly increased, then the unlucky ones would be them. Members of the Tang Sect, Shrek Academy, and the War God Hall all began to panic.
"Roar—!"
The Dragon Turtle let out a dragon-like roar. The sound rolled like thunder, the sound waves nearly condensing into tangible force as they spread outward.
After taking the bloodline pill, its strength skyrocketed—jumping directly from barely matching a quasi-demigod to truly reaching the demigod tier, achieving a massive leap in power.
Its enormous body slammed into its opponent, the terrifying impact sending the enemy flying hundreds of meters away, even caving in his chest armor.
Originally, the two sides had been evenly matched, but now the gap became instantly obvious. The Dragon Turtle held absolute advantage.
The battle that followed became much simpler. The Dragon Turtle launched a ferocious assault, suppressing its opponent completely.
"Roar—!"
Xiong Er, around 130,000 years old, roared loudly, utterly exhilarated, fighting without regard for fatigue or pain.
With the aid of the bloodline pill, he had risen from his original ninety-fifth-level strength to the ninety-eighth level.
The balance of the battle was shattered. This ninety-seventh-level three-word battle armor master from the Tang Sect was beaten to the point that he could barely fight back.
Bloodline pills—true to their name—were pills related to bloodlines. Their primary effect was to stimulate a soul beast's bloodline.
These were specially refined by Yun Ze over the past few days for these soul beasts, capable of awakening their bloodlines and allowing them to excavate deeper layers of bloodline power.
The stronger the bloodline, the greater the boost in combat power after consumption. Super soul beasts like the Dark-Golden Terrorclaw Bear, Dragon Turtle, and Hell Demon Dragon benefited the most.
Take the Dragon Turtle for example: a single pill directly allowed it to step into the high-tier demigod realm for a short time.
The hundred-thousand-year Dark-Golden Terrorclaw Bear jumped from ninety-five to ninety-eight in strength; the Hell Demon Dragon was in a similar situation.
Even the weakest in bloodline, the Jade Spirit Serpent King, still gained over one full level of soul power, with its毒性 greatly increased—enough to poison even a Super Douluo to death.
Originally, Dragon-Phoenix Hall's side only held an advantage in numbers, not in individual combat strength.
After all, the opposing side all possessed three-word battle armor, while Dragon-Phoenix Hall had only a dozen or so sets. Soul beasts fighting without the boost of three-word battle armor were at a severe disadvantage.
Even at the same level they suffered; even if they were one or two soul-power levels higher, armored soul masters were still stronger.
It was only thanks to Gu Yuena's quasi–Dragon God bloodline boost, combined with their numerical advantage, that they hadn't fallen into a disadvantage earlier.
Now the situation had reversed. After taking the bloodline pills, the soul beasts' strength soared, and their individual power was no longer inferior to their opponents.
Individual superiority combined with numerical advantage caused the battle to become completely one-sided.
At this moment, the battlefield situation was extremely favorable to Dragon-Phoenix Hall. If things continued like this, their opponents would only face total annihilation.
All the soul beasts fought with full force. Soul rings flashed around them—actually signaling the activation of their innate talent skills.
Before distributing the bloodline pills, Yun Ze had already told them that once consumed, they needed to end the battle as quickly as possible.
That was because the pills only lasted for twenty minutes. Once the time was up, they would enter a brief period of weakness.
This weakened state lasted about an hour, during which their strength would drop by roughly thirty percent.
They weren't fools. Naturally, they wouldn't drag the fight out and wait for the time to expire, putting themselves at a disadvantage.
Within this short window, they fought like madmen—using the most ruthless moves possible, even trading injuries if necessary, as long as they could kill the enemy.
For soul beasts, once their ferocity was fully unleashed, they truly fought without regard for their own lives.
"They've gone mad… these people have gone mad!"
The experts from the three factions were terrified. The enemy's savagery sent chills through their entire bodies.
"This is terrifying. If this continues, the people from Shrek, the Tang Sect, and the War God Hall might be completely wiped out," an officer beside Yu Guanzhi said, his mouth dry.
If that really happened, it would absolutely shake the Federation. Three forces that were traditionally untouchable suffering such losses was almost unimaginable.
After speaking, he glanced again at the horrifying battle in the distance and amended uncertainly,
"Maybe only those few limit-level experts will survive."
Yu Guanzhi's expression had already turned extremely grave. This situation had exceeded his expectations.
He had originally thought it would end in mutual destruction, but instead the battle had become one-sided. If things continued, the final victor would undoubtedly be Dragon-Phoenix Hall.
The most crucial point was that they might not even suffer any casualties at all—which made the situation even harder for him to accept.
At this time, Bi Ji and another Emerald Swan became extremely busy, constantly healing others to prevent them from being critically wounded or on the brink of death.
Ya Li was also doing her best to heal her side. Sweat beaded on her forehead—the number of people was simply too great for her to handle alone.
In the distance, as the last people inside a flying craft were flung out, the craft itself was collected by Lin San.
"Young master,"
Lin San's voice sounded beside Yun Ze. Then Lin San, appearing as a middle-aged man, revealed himself and handed over three storage rings.
Yun Ze took the rings but didn't inspect them immediately. Instead, he pointed at Ya Li and said to Lin San,
"Go capture her."
Lin San followed Yun Ze's pointing finger and saw Ya Li, who was fully focused on healing others.
"Yes."
After replying, Lin San vanished again and moved toward Ya Li.
Yun Ze glanced at the three rings in his hand. With a thought, he took out a flying craft from one of them, supporting it with soul power and letting it hover in front of him to the left.
"Go study how this thing works," Yun Ze said to Gu Yuena.
"Alright."
After activating her bloodline, Gu Yuena was still able to handle other tasks. She immediately began studying the soul tools installed on the flying craft.
"The Tang Sect's soul-tool technology is really impressive. Even the Federation Research Institute might not necessarily be able to make something like this," Gu Yuena couldn't help but praise.
What Yun Ze cared about wasn't how advanced the technology was, but instead he asked,
"Can you use it?"
Gu Yuena shot him a slightly annoyed look.
"That question makes me feel insulted."
"The soul tool is already fully installed, and all the buttons are labeled with text. As long as I'm not stupid, of course I can use it."
Hearing this, Yun Ze couldn't help but smile. He hadn't expected the buttons to be labeled with text.
"Then operate it yourself."
Gu Yuena nodded. She didn't take long to figure out the soul tool, then began rotating the cannon barrel and aiming at a target.
