Ye Yunfei also noticed that many sturdy members of the Earth Demon Clan carried large longbows slung behind their shoulders.
'Three Seniors, the physique quality of your Earth Demon Clan should be particularly impressive, right?' Ye Yunfei asked, glancing back at the Earth Demon clansmen.
'Young Master Ye, you are correct. Physique quality is one of our racial talents. Our clan is born with immense strength, our physical constitutions far surpassing those of other races. Therefore, many in our clan are Body Refiners, relying on raw power to face our enemies. Furthermore, our clan's disposition is fierce and valiant; we inherently revere the brave,' one of the Earth Demon Clan's Elder Ancestors replied.
'Indeed. The physiques of your clan all seem exceptionally robust. If you temporarily ingested some pills that can stimulate your physical potential and boost your power before battle, your combat effectiveness might improve significantly. Given the remarkable strength of your clan's physiques, as long as the dosage isn't excessive, you should be able to withstand the post-medication period of weakness,' Ye Yunfei said after some thought.
As an alchemist, Ye Yunfei knew many pills that could temporarily stimulate potential, particularly those boosting physical potential. However, such pills had a drawback: a period of weakness after the medicinal effects wore off.
'Young Master Ye, what you say is very reasonable. However, our Earth Demon Clan is not innately skilled in alchemy, so we lack high-level alchemists within our clan. Moreover, our clan generally dwells deep underground, having little interaction with the other races outside, and thus we have not established connections with any high-level alchemists from the outside world. As a result, our Earth Demon Clan has access to very few pills. In fact, during a certain period in the past, our clan spent a fortune to befriend an alchemist from outside. We managed to accumulate a considerable stockpile of pills during that time. But later, that alchemist seemed to have encountered some trouble. From then on, our Earth Demon Clan has had few pills at its disposal. However, our Xuanhuang Continent is rich in natural products, with a vast variety and quantity of rare natural treasures suitable for our clan's cultivation. Furthermore, our clan's physique is innate; as we age, the quality and strength of our bodies grow increasingly powerful. Even without those pills, our strength will gradually improve. Therefore, we are not overly keen on befriending external alchemists,' one of the Earth Demon Clan's Elder Ancestors explained.
'So that's how it is,' Ye Yunfei nodded in understanding.
'I have some pills suitable for Void Gods here. After consumption, they can enhance physical power and temporarily stimulate the potential of the physique. Taking them before battle yields good results,' Ye Yunfei said, waving his sleeve. Over a dozen jade bottles flew and landed in front of the three Earth Demon Clan Elder Ancestors.
The three Elder Ancestors were momentarily stunned by the sight of the jade bottles. One of them then proceeded to uncork all of them.
'They really are all God-level Divine Pills suitable for Void Gods!' After sensing the pills contained within the dozen or so jade bottles, the three Earth Demon Clan Elder Ancestors all revealed delighted expressions. Pills were exceedingly scarce within the Earth Demon Clan, and they could perceive that these pills would indeed be extremely useful to their people. Even the aura emanating from the pills alone made them feel immensely comfortable.
'Young Master Ye, these pills will indeed be very useful to our Earth Demon Clan,' one Elder Ancestor said excitedly.
In truth, Ye Yunfei had concocted these pills after observing the Earth Demon Clansmen and conducting research on their nature. A doppelganger of his had refined them inside the Phantom Tower.
'Young Master Ye, the Earth Demon Clan indeed uses very few pills because their strength naturally increases with their age, so their demand for pills isn't great. However, having them is undoubtedly better than not. Young Master Ye, if you aid their clan in boosting their strength, it will surely lead to a significant overall improvement for their entire clan,' the Patriarch of the Liu Family transmitted upon seeing Ye Yunfei gift the pills. He deeply knew just how remarkably skilled Ye Yunfei was in alchemy.
Some time ago, when Ye Yunfei had helped the Liu Family refine pills, he had doubled the family's overall combat power in a short period. Even he, the Liu Family Patriarch, after consuming the pills Ye Yunfei had gifted him, had experienced a noticeable boost in his own power.
'The Earth Demon Clan is one of the allies we want to recruit. We will need to face the Guardian Faction alongside them in the future. Therefore, being able to enhance their strength a bit is naturally a good thing,' Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
'Young Master Ye, you are right. The stronger our allies are, the more beneficial it is for us,' the Patriarch of the Liu Family nodded immediately upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words.
'And these pills should be somewhat useful to you three Seniors,' Ye Yunfei added, taking out three more jade bottles of Divine Pills and sending them to the three Earth Demon Clan Elder Ancestors.
'These pills are of use to us three?' The three Earth Demon Clan Elder Ancestors were momentarily stunned, as they were all True God-level experts. Only True God-level pills would have any effect on them.
However, when they opened the lids of the jade bottles before them, they immediately became excited. The pills contained within these three jade bottles were all True God-level Divine Pills!
True God-level Divine Pills! The other high-ranking members of the Earth Demon Clan witnessing this scene were also greatly astonished, as their clan simply did not possess such high-level Divine Pills.
'Young Master Ye, these pills are indeed very useful to us three. Why do I get the feeling these pills were specifically refined to target the characteristics of our cultivation?' one Elder Ancestor asked excitedly.
He reached out, took the jade bottle before him, and began meticulously studying the pills inside. The more he examined them, the more excited he became.
'Three Seniors, your physique quality is excellent. You can directly ingest these pills, which should allow your strength to increase somewhat,' Ye Yunfei said.
'Excellent. I'll take one right now!' One Elder Ancestor, upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, couldn't wait any longer. He took out a pill from the jade bottle and immediately put it into his mouth and swallowed it.
In the next moment, he felt a vast, surging medicinal power erupt within his body, flooding instantly into every part of his form.
'This pill is too useful! I feel my physical power beginning to rise!' The Elder Ancestor felt a wave of comfort wash over his entire body as he cried out excitedly.
Seeing this, the other two Elder Ancestors didn't hesitate. They immediately began swallowing pills as well.
In a short time, the three Earth Demon Clan Elder Ancestors had consumed all the pills Ye Yunfei had gifted them. Then, their bodies began to shake violently. Overwhelming power surged out from their forms. Some of the people standing relatively close by, feeling this terrifying power, hurriedly backed away. Only Ye Yunfei and the Patriarch of the Liu Family remained standing in place, unaffected.
Boom, rumble, rumble...
The three Earth Demon Clan Elder Ancestors all had a raging, tumultuous roar erupt from within their bodies.
'Those three are the top experts of the Earth Demon Clan. Their physical strength can withstand the energy released instantaneously by these pills. If it were someone else, they wouldn't dare consume so many high-level pills in such a short time, as it could potentially destroy their physique,' Hun Lao couldn't help but remark via Sound Transmission.
'Listen up, people of the Earth Demon Clan. I'm giving you one final chance. Your clan is to surrender immediately and pledge allegiance to our Guardian Faction from this moment on. Otherwise, once our Guardian Faction's army charges in, it will spell the destruction of your clan,' a loud voice proclaimed from outside the Xuanhuang Great World at this moment.
The speaker was a True God standing at the forefront of the Guardian Faction's army. Rolling waves of sound surged into the Xuanhuang Great World, reverberating through the void of the entire world, deafening to the ear.
'Listen up, you scum of the Guardian Faction! Every single one of us Earth Demon clansmen is a hot-blooded warrior! We only die in battle on the battlefield! We absolutely have no cowards who are scared of death or willing to surrender! And besides, your Guardian Faction alone wants to annihilate our Earth Demon Clan? That won't be so easy. If you want a fight, then let's fight! Let's see who annihilates whom in the end!' the three Earth Demon Clan Elder Ancestors retorted at this moment.
Having already consumed and fully refined the medicinal power of the pills Ye Yunfei had given them, all three Elder Ancestors felt their overall strength had taken a significant leap forward. Their physical power, in particular, had greatly increased, boosting their confidence considerably. Each was filled with battle-ready morale, itching to charge out and find someone to fight.
'So this is the attitude of your Earth Demon Clan? Good. Then there's nothing left to discuss. Charge in and slaughter them!' the True God of the Guardian Faction who had been speaking at the front of the army said coldly.
In the next instant, the Guardian Faction army formed several dozen battle formations, roaring as they charged towards the entrance of the Xuanhuang Great World.
The six leading True Gods all summoned their magical treasures. Transforming into six streaks of flowing light, the treasures rumbled as they slammed into the entrance of the Xuanhuang Great World.
Dozens of battle formations, along with the six True Gods taking turns attacking, relentlessly assaulted the entrance to the Xuanhuang Great World.
The entrance of the Xuanhuang Great World was guarded by a large number of Formations. These were Formations passed down through generations of the Earth Demon Clan. Not only were there ordinary Formations, but Ye Yunfei also spotted some Earth Formations that had been handed down from ancient times.
Those Earth Formations were set within the void outside the entrance to the Xuanhuang Great World. Usually hidden, they appeared one after another under attack. However, the offensive of the Guardian Faction's army was truly terrifying. A significant portion of both the ordinary Formations and the Earth Formations guarding the Xuanhuang Great World entrance had been destroyed during this period.
'Three Elder Ancestors, it appears the Guardian Faction's army will soon break through,' the Chieftain of the Earth Demon Clan said with a grim expression upon seeing this.
'The Guardian Faction's army is indeed powerful, led by six True Gods. Regardless of victory or defeat in a real fight, our Earth Demon Clan will suffer heavy casualties,' the three Elder Ancestors said. Having just consumed the pills Ye Yunfei gifted them, their spirits had been soaring with fighting spirit. But now, looking at the Guardian Faction army outside the Xuanhuang Great World, they suddenly became much more sober. Their calculations revealed a disparity in strength between the two sides.
As the Elder Ancestors of the Earth Demon Clan, they had to consider the safety of their entire race, not just indulge in momentary bravery.
