The Stone Statue Player slammed into the heavy Energy Shield surface on the flank of the Battle Formation, barely causing a ripple. The Reversing Tide Battle Formation continued to advance steadily as if nothing happened, with the warriors inside likely oblivious to the insignificant impact, overwhelmed by the powerful energy torrent ahead, far greater than any collision.
Ink Flame’s sparks scattered over the Reversing Tide Battle Formation, but Ding Qi did not activate the Stealing Attribute upon witnessing this scene.
After all, the Reverse Tide Army was seen as allies by the players, and who among them hasn’t followed the Liver Emperor Group’s training camp series?
Thus, Ding Qi expressed in the team channel that the test failed this time, and to initiate the next round of throwing.
Yet even with multiple protections in place, the Stone Statue Players who landed couldn’t last for several seconds before Soul Returning to Emperor Zhao amidst the battlefield’s aftermath.
In the subsequent tests, multiple "Stone Statue Conductors" were hurled towards the Reversing Tide Battlefield.
However, the results left the spectators in the live stream bemused.
Either they struck the scorched earth around the battlefield or mistakenly hit their ally, the Reverse Tide Army’s Battle Formation again.
Ding Qi’s face darkened to the point of resembling a pot bottom.
The chat in the live stream was flooded with question marks, questioning the feasibility of this tactic.
Despite this, the test was far from over.
Once more, a Stone Statue Player enveloped in Ink Flame was launched like a cannonball.
The live stream perspective shook wildly, slicing through the sky.
This time, luck favored them.
The "Stone Statue Meteor" pierced the sky precisely, avoiding a steadily advancing Reversing Tide Battle Formation.
Then it solidly smashed into the back of a Fusion Soul Beast crashing across the battlefield, forcibly fused from dozens of Soul Beasts, resembling a multi-legged giant elephant.
Bam!
A dull crashing sound echoed, and the Ink Flame rapidly spread across the Fusion Soul Beast’s rough and heavy skin.
"Now, Steal!"
Light flashed from Ding Qi’s eyes, and without hesitation, he immediately activated the Stealing Life Soul Characteristic through the Life Soul’s transferring trait.
Instantly, a thread of blacklight appeared in the burning Ink Flame.
The Fusion Form of the Soul Beast suddenly disintegrated uncontrollably, reverting to individual Soul Beasts.
Simultaneously, a Challenger Tip popped up in the minds of all members within the Battle Formation:
[Challenger Tip: Life Soul Characteristic "Steal" triggered successfully, randomly extracting target’s benefit state... Successfully stole Benefit: Soul Power Boiling.]
[Benefit Ball generated: Soul Power Boiling (Pseudo-rule-level Enhancement).]
Trait Effect: Upon status application, the target enters Spiritual Power Burning state.
Additional Traits:
Spiritual Frenzy: Spiritual Strength enhanced by 638%, Spiritual Recovery Efficiency enhanced by 3942%.
Will Manifestation: Burns Spiritual Power to scorch nearby targets, drastically enhancing Spiritual Resistance.
Resonating Scream: All Spiritual attacks carry consciousness tremor effects, causing additional consciousness chaos disruption.
Elemental Resistance: ...
...
The amplification effects carried by Soul Power Boiling aggregate over 20 different traits.
As the Challenger Tip sounded, a ball of light with a gray nebula rotating violently inside, burning with gray flames on the surface, slowly rose from the giant hand of the Battle Array Dharma Aspect, radiating surging Energy Fluctuation.
The united channel burst into long-repressed cheers.
"Beautiful, it succeeded!"
"I’m overwhelmed, I thought the investment was a wash, but it finally worked."
"Damn, the Spiritual Bar is plummeting; the consumption is terrifying! Quickly sustain it," shouted a core member responsible for monitoring the Dharma Aspect status.
Other players frantically checked their status, only to see the spiritual value represented by the No. 1 Battle Array Dharma Aspect under Stealing state was plummeting at a visibly rapid pace, seemingly devoured by an invisible black hole.
"Iron Cavalry Guild, match your sustain!" Ding Qi’s voice exploded in the channel.
Roar!
Two thousand Taotie Path players, long prepared, let out heaven-shattering roars.
Their humanoid bodies suddenly expanded and morphed, ultimately becoming Taotie Fierce Beasts, emitting intense Qi-Blood fluctuations.
Upon activating the monster forms, they opened their bloody mouths, inhaling fiercely at the air.
Instantly, energy particles from dozens of miles converged, forming a vortex above, crazily rushing into their vast maw.
The Essence Devourer attribute activated at full force.
Simultaneously, two thousand additional support players radiated bright emerald light.
Beams of Life Connection, resembling dense neural networks, accurately linked each Taotie Giant Beast with the rapidly consuming Battle Array Dharma Aspect.
Immediately, the abundant Qi-Blood and Spiritual Energy surged furiously into the Battle Array Dharma Aspect’s body via Life Connection, staunchly countering the flood-like Spiritual Power consumption.
Pushing the depleting Spiritual Bar sharply upward, maintaining a violently fluctuating balance.
"Holding up, the sustain held up!"
"Impressive, the Taotie Blood Bag is phenomenal; no wonder it’s standard at village battles."
"The Benefit Ball stabilized—it’s a Magic System Enhancement effect; Blood God Guild’s Magic System Battle Formation get ready to deploy."
In the Warband channel, amid excited calls.
Under Ding Qi’s command, the Battle Array Dharma Aspect released the "Soul Power Boiling" Benefit Ball as a streak of light.
It instantly merged into the waiting Blood God Guild’s Battle Array Dharma Aspect constructed around Magic System attributes.
Boom!
A horrific Spirit Storm erupted from the Blood God Battle Array Dharma Aspect, sweeping the surroundings like an invisible tsunami.
Under the stunned gaze of all players present and livestream spectators, the Blood God Guild’s Battle Array Dharma Aspect ignited towering gray-white flames.
The immediate damage vaporized numerous players nearby into soul returns to Emperor Zhao.
Simultaneously, the blood god guild members’ minds resonated with a Challenger Tip:
[Challenger Tip: Battle Array Dharma Aspect received "Soul Power Boiling" augmentation, greatly enhanced comprehensive combat power, current Combat Level: Level 298.]
Level 298!
The daunting number detonated like thunder within the live stream imagery.
After a brief deathly silence, the players in the live stream erupted in excitement.
"Damn, Level 298, this boost is insane!"
"Holy shit, cheating, yeah? Combat power shooting past the Level 300 threshold; snag a stronger war boost, could challenge Champion Fighters then."
"This Buff is savage; can’t wait to see if there’s a stronger boost state."
"Really made a masterpiece of Stealing Life Soul Attribute, freaking slick."
Full-screen marvelling, damnations swept like a tsunami, engulfing the live stream screen completely.
Every curious or skeptical spectator entering the live stream felt their adrenaline spike at this moment.
If the upcoming practical combat test succeeds, it will undoubtedly create history.
Moreover, it opens a path for the Player Faction to access the Reversed Tide Edge Battlefield and obtain top-tier Hunting Rewards.
