Soul rings rose one after another, and soon, nine soul rings pulsed around Di Tian's waist, radiating a powerful pressure.
Six Red Three Orange. The last three soul rings had all surpassed two hundred thousand years.
"Di Tian, be careful to control your energy fluctuations," Gu Yue Na warned gravely.
Hearing this, Di Tian quickly restrained his soul power. His martial soul was behind him and his soul rings pulsed, yet not the slightest energy fluctuation leaked from his body.
The darkness receded, and the sky became clear once more. Di Tian stared at the nine red soul rings on his body, completely stunned.
He had been able to transform into a human before, but he had not possessed a martial soul, much less soul rings. But now...
"This pill is far too miraculous," Gu Yue Na exclaimed. Her gaze involuntarily turned to Yun Ze, her heart filled with admiration.
Di Tian, Bi Ji, and Bear Lord also looked at Yun Ze, their eyes full of shock and respect.
"I formulated this Transformation Pill recipe according to this world's rules and the actual circumstances of you soul beasts."
"After taking it, your original bodies can become martial souls, while your soul power will be determined by the strength of those original bodies."
"For someone like Di Tian, whose strength is equivalent to a Quasi-God-level soul master, his current Soul Power Level is level ninety-nine, at the Quasi-God level."
"After Bi Ji and Bear Lord take it, they should also be level ninety-nine, though somewhat weaker than Di Tian."
"As for the soul rings that appear, they are related to the strength of your vitality and blood. The stronger your vitality and blood, the greater the age of the soul rings you condense," Yun Ze explained.
"Then am I still considered a soul beast?" Di Tian asked the most crucial question.
"Of course. The difference between you and before is that after transforming into a human, you will have a martial soul and soul rings, while your soul beast aura will be completely concealed."
"Your race remains unchanged. You are still a soul beast," Yun Ze said.
Upon hearing that answer, not only Di Tian but also Gu Yue Na and the others breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that their race had not changed.
"Bi Ji, Bear Lord, you should take yours as well," Gu Yue Na instructed.
"Yes," the two replied. After swallowing the pills, they each underwent their own transformations, eventually manifesting martial souls and soul rings just like Di Tian.
Bear Lord, who was nearly five hundred thousand years old, and Bi Ji, who was nearly six hundred thousand years old, both became level ninety-nine Limit Douluo after taking the Transformation Pill.
However, both were at the middle stage of Limit Douluo, Demi-Gods, and had not reached the Quasi-God level.
Bear Lord's nine soul rings were also Hundred Thousand Year soul rings, with his ninth soul ring reaching two hundred thousand years.
Bi Ji, meanwhile, had two black and seven red soul rings. She was a healing-type soul beast, so in terms of vitality and blood, she still could not compare to Di Tian and Bear Lord.
Di Tian tore open space, and everyone returned to their residence in Star Moon City.
Yun Ze returned to his room to rest. He gave one of the bottles to Di Tian and told him to distribute it among the soul beasts who needed it.
The other bottle was useless if he kept it himself, so he handed it to Gu Yue Na and told her to use it as she saw fit.
Ten Thousand Demons King, Demon Spirit, Zi Ji, and another ferocious beast were brought outside Star Moon City to take the pills.
Afterward, using his mastery of spatial laws, Di Tian took Bear Lord, Ten Thousand Demons King, and Demon Spirit back to the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Metal Embankment and Energy Shield built by the Spirit Pagoda outside the Star Dou Great Forest were sufficient against ordinary soul beasts, but they were far from enough to stop a super soul beast like Di Tian.
This man had been hailed as the Number One Under Heaven ten thousand years ago. Though ten thousand years had passed and restrictions imposed by the rules had prevented him from improving much, he had not remained stagnant either.
Even now, if an ultimate soul master equipped with Four-Word Battle Armor faced him, they would not dare claim certain victory.
How could an Energy Shield alone possibly stop a Di Tian like this?
After returning to the Star Dou Great Forest, Bear Lord began gathering his remaining seven clansmen and had them take the Transformation Pill.
It was worth mentioning that after the seven Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears transformed into humans, all of them possessed Titled Douluo-level strength.
A ten-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear already possessed the strength to contend with a Titled Douluo. One over sixty thousand years old would absolutely surpass some ordinary Titled Douluo.
After becoming human, a soul beast's strength was determined by the strength of its original body. Since they possessed Titled Douluo-level strength, they naturally became Titled Douluo.
Ten Thousand Demons King and Demon Spirit also went to gather their respective clansmen. It was rather sad to say that the two clans combined had only eleven soul beasts.
Eight Demon Eye Magic Trees, the youngest being fifty thousand years old, and Three Bewitching Demons, the youngest being forty thousand years old.
The Bewitching Demons were Demon Spirit's race. Both soul beast races stood on the brink of extinction, with fewer than ten clansmen each.
The soul beasts that had survived until now all lived in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest, and their ages basically exceeded ten thousand years.
After discussing it, Ten Thousand Demons King and Demon Spirit selected another nine soul beasts, bringing the total to twenty.
They were all chosen according to Yun Ze's requirements. The selected soul beasts were particularly sensitive to spiritual treasures, making it easier for them to search.
One of them was even a Treasure Hunting Rat, over twenty thousand years old. This was also the only Treasure Hunting Rat in the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
Di Tian gathered all the powerful soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest and selected another twenty, giving them the Transformation Pill.
Among them were Ten Emerald Swans, the youngest being thirty thousand years old and the oldest a Hundred Thousand Year. This was at Bi Ji's request, as she intended to train them in Pill Refining.
Emerald Swans were healing-type soul beasts and had been comparatively well protected. Their total number still exceeded thirty, and these ten strongest ones had been selected from among them.
The other ten were soul beasts from various races, all over fifty thousand years old. Even the weakest among them was equivalent to a human Soul Douluo.
This time, Di Tian and the others had effectively taken away all the high-end combat strength in the Star Dou Great Forest. The remaining soul beasts were relatively weak, with only two reaching fifty thousand years.
If the Spirit Pagoda wished to attack the forest in the future, it would likely be able to slaughter every soul beast in the entire forest without paying too great a price.
One could imagine just how severely the Star Dou Great Forest's strength had declined after these soul beasts were taken away.
However, Di Tian had left behind a safeguard. He gave his Reverse Scale to one of the soul beasts over fifty thousand years old, allowing it to summon him through it in times of danger.
He had taken these powerful soul beasts away to better carry out the plan, not to abandon the more than one thousand soul beasts surviving in the forest.
There were already so few soul beasts left in the soul beast race. If they abandoned them as well, the race would truly be finished.
After all the selected soul beasts had transformed, Di Tian opened a Space Passage and led them out of the forest.
Their properties in Star Moon City were all sold. Since time was pressing, the prices were not high and fell below market value.
After settling these matters, Yun Ze and the others set out for Mingdu.
Inside the Spirit Pagoda at the center of the city, Hall Master Meng Yun stared at the people before him with an ashen expression.
"Still no trace of Yun Ze?" Meng Yun asked angrily, on the verge of exploding.
The people before him all hung their heads, their tense bodies trembling slightly as they did not dare meet Meng Yun's gaze.
"N-no," one of them answered shakily.
"Utter trash! It has been days, yet you still haven't found him. What use are any of you?" Meng Yun roared.
