Chapter 997 Extensive Breakthrough
Even if they took turns defending in three shifts, the pressure brought by the overwhelming onslaught was still terrifying. It was not just physical exhaustion but also mental fatigue. Endless killings had stretched everyone's nerves to the breaking point, like fragile threads on the verge of snapping. The relentless attacks, one after another, placed tremendous pressure on everyone.
Now, with an abrupt end, their whole being relaxed involuntarily.
"Qin Ge!" Li Xiang shouted.
"Present," Qin Ge stepped forward and respectfully responded.
"Lead the Golden-scaled Guard to pursue from the air, thoroughly investigate where these enemies came from and where they retreated to. Give me a clear report without the process, just the results," Li Xiang decisively said.
"Yes!"
Qin Ge turned around and waved his hand. "Golden-scaled Guard, all troops engaged! Thoroughly investigate any abnormalities in the surrounding area of Rising Sun City."
The number of Golden-scaled Guard on the frontline was too small, not enough to have a significant effect on the battle's outcome. However, they were still capable of carrying out scouting missions. In the air, they held a significant advantage.
Roar!
One after another, the Golden-scaled Birds soared into the sky, swiftly heading toward the distance, disappearing in a flash.
"All soldiers, rest in two shifts. Each person will be rewarded with a Yin Yang Pill," Li Xiang instructed as jade boxes appeared on the city walls.
Zhao Yun, Qi Jiguang, and others quivered with anticipation, their faces brimming with excitement. These were the pills they had witnessed being refined, described by Li Xiang as immensely precious treasures. After consumption, they could instantly boost their cultivation.
The pills were quickly distributed.
"These are Yin Yang Pills, personally refined by the King."
"Fantastic! Thank you, Your Majesty. I can feel that these pills must be incredibly precious. I wonder what kind of effects they will produce after taking them."
The soldiers who received the pills all had their eyes filled with excitement, even though their bodies and minds were exhausted from the battle.
They took turns resting. The first batch of soldiers quickly left the city walls and entered the city. Sitting on the ground, they opened their food boxes and quickly consumed their rations. Each soldier carefully took out a Yin Yang Pill and swallowed it without hesitation.
As soon as the pill entered their mouths, it practically melted, flowing down their throats and into their bodies.
Swish!
The Yin Yang Pill instantly transformed into a tremendous force of medicine, morphing into a vivid red and blue Yin and Yang Taiji diagram. The Taiji diagram was glowing, brimming with the power of water and fire, instantly infusing it into the flesh and blood throughout the body. Wherever it reached, the power of ice and fire continuously refined the flesh, as if a frenzy of ice and fire was relentlessly crushing through the blood and flesh.
The flesh shattered but was instantaneously repaired under Yin and Yang's power of creation.
In the midst of destruction and regeneration, the impurities within the flesh were completely pulverized by the power of water and fire, dissolving into oblivion, leaving no remnants behind.
The flesh, meridians, bones, and even the blood were refined and reborn in this Yin-Yang power. In the first instance of recovery, the flesh became even stronger, the bones more resilient, and the impurities within the body were mostly eradicated as if breaking through a thousand shackles. This kind of enhancement was incredibly clear and unprecedentedly vivid, and the physical strength skyrocketed.
It was not an increase of a few hundred pounds, but an instantaneous surge of several thousand pounds, even approaching the strength of tens of thousands of pounds, as if granting a person Herculean might.
The effectiveness of this transformation with the Yin Yang Pill varied from person to person. Some had a strong aptitude, while others had a dull aptitude, resulting in different benefits from refining the physical body. Refining impurities required the consumption of medicinal power, and those with fewer impurities naturally had more residual medicinal power and a greater amount integrated into their blood, flesh, and bones. Moreover, the tremendous power of the Yin Yang Pill bestowed a creation that was far from simple.
The mind and will were instantly infused with a miraculous Yin and Yang's power of creation.
"Visualize, immediately visualize and condense the runes. There is an exceptional clarity of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth."
"Fantastic! I feel an unprecedented level of comfort."
A sense of ecstatic joy filled the hearts of the soldiers. The runes that were previously difficult to condense became effortless at this moment. They naturally condensed one after another. A single rune was condensed after one visualization. The mind and will immersed themselves in a mysterious state, unaware of fatigue or the passage of time.
The soldiers seemed to have completed several years of cultivation in an instant.
Boom!
Streams of heaven and earth vitality rapidly converged towards the many soldiers, forming swirling whirlpools of vitality around them.
In the blink of an eye, some individuals achieved breakthroughs, transcending from the extraordinary into the legendary.
There were even soldiers who directly condensed the origin of the Power of Law, establishing their foundation and stepping into the mythical realm.
Breakthroughs! Continuous breakthroughs!
The sounds of barriers breaking reverberated from within the bodies of numerous soldiers.
This was not just a breakthrough in cultivation realms. Their physical bodies transformed, with a substantial increase in strength. The amplification of combat power was by no means insignificant. At this moment, their strength had increased to a tremendous extent.
"I've broken through to the Pinnacle of Gold Transcendents."
"I've also broken through to the Great Completion of Gold Transcendents. The next stage is Legendary. Such a powerful elixir. Thank you, Your Majesty. I am willing to die for the Dawn and the Human race."
"So powerful! I feel the direct increase of thousands of pounds in my physical strength. The condition within my body has never been better. It's as if my bones have been completely transformed. It seems like there's an endless supply of power within me, and my root bones have been refined and enhanced. It's simply a creation!"
"Yes, I feel a closer connection between myself and the heaven and earth. The shackles on my body have all been shattered. The speed and quantity of absorbing heaven and earth vitality are several times faster than before. This time, one Yin Yang Pill is equivalent to several years of arduous cultivation in the past."
Sheer elation was written across the faces of each soldier upon awakening. This feeling was truly marvelous. They were free from the constraints of cultivation realms. The creation contained within the Yin Yang Pill could compensate for everything. There were no hidden dangers to this enhancement.
This was a creation, a privilege exclusive to the Dawn Dynasty.
"Only by constantly becoming stronger can we survive on the battlefield. This is the true test of the first night in the Mythical Battlefield. No one knows what challenges we will face next. Only by continuously becoming stronger can the Human race stand out among the myriad races."
Every soldier held a firm belief in their heart.
Experiencing this unceasing assault on merely the first night, no one knew if the enemies they would encounter next would be even more fearsome.
