The System notifications followed one after the other as the Ascension Dragon Tears were consumed, while William's body felt slightly uncomfortable from the simultaneous effects of ten Ascension-level treasures.

If his body wasn't as powerful as an Ascended Cultivator, he probably would have suffered a great deal of damage from recklessly ingesting ten vials at once.

And to think Master gave these out as a trial reward to talented Sect Disciples. What if they consumed them right away? Wouldn't they explode? It's like giving a child dynamite, you shouldn't do it.

Riyald had always been an eccentric person, but William knew that others wouldn't have an appraisal system like he did. He also doubted that Riyald's gift was an attempt to create more souls for Cultivation. It would be a massive waste of resources for small gain.

-Your resistance to Heavenly Lightning has increased. Total: 50%

-The boosts provided by the Ascension Dragon Tears have reached their maximum. Further consumption will have no effect.

Fifty percent resistance to Heavenly Lightning. If I account for the twenty-five percent from the Trial Taker Title, I have seventy-five percent in total!

As William thought about this, another bolt of Heavenly Lightning slammed into William's body, but the SSR-Rank Forcefield opened along with a thin veil of golden light, completely guarding against the strike and only sustaining a few cracks. Before the next Lightning Bolt could form, the Forcefield had already fully recovered.

Better yet, William's Mana Regeneration Talent showed his status as out of combat, which meant he could maintain his quadrupled Mana Regeneration at all times!

"Then I'll try again." Blue replied. If he could synchronize his bloodline with a Mythical Magical Beast with the Illusion Affinity, he would be unstoppable in Azures. Even if he Ascended later and there were more powerful beasts, he could repeat the process until his bloodline had reached the limit of its potential.

As he was daydreaming about the Illusion Affinity, the Green-cloaked Region Leader noticed a weakness in Atticus' position. "Prepare the Light Cannon!"

The previously nervous Nascent Soul Players had no choice but to listen to their leader's instructions, collectively pouring their Mana into the specialized lens at the same time. The lens extended and enlarged to become a long spyglass that further increased in size and changed shape until it was a cannon comparable to a modern telescope.

The Nascent Soul Cultivators' Mana became a fuel source for the cannon, while the Blue and Green Region Leaders poured their Light Mana at the forefront, the cannon channeling and compressing their Mana into a single point.

"Keep going!" the Blue Region Leader and his subordinates turned pale as they poured every last drop of Mana into the cannon.

Ten, fifteen, thirty seconds passed until the cannon was at full power, at which point the Green Region Leader halted the flow of Mana and waited patiently until the right moment.

"Hold it!" he ordered as Atticus slithered across the ground towards another group of Magical Beasts.

"Hold it!" Atticus was within five hundred meters of the group. The muscles on Atticus' face twitched, signaling that he was about to open his mouth.

"Now!" Green shouted as Atticus' jaw opened slightly.

A single, intense beam of light shot out from the cannon and flew through the air at incredible speed, crossing the one hundred kilometers distance in exactly one second as it struck Atticus' open mouth at a weak spot.

Blood spewed forth and Atticus howled in pain, closing his mouth to cancel his next move as he looked towards the source of the light. His tongue flicked back and forth, but he couldn't recognize the scent of the cannon, nor could he smell the Blue and Green Region Leaders as they had prepared well beforehand.

Atticus didn't sense any threatening auras, so he continued wiping out the Magical Beasts until the Tide had been completely eliminated. Only then did the snake take another look at the Light Cannon's old position, but there was nothing. He was forced to open the Illusion Territory and fly high into the sky, where he would sleep until the next Beast Tide appeared.

The Region Leaders hid with their subordinates for an entire day until Atticus' presence had long disappeared. They collected a few buckets of dried blood from Atticus, using another special tool to differentiate between the blood of a Mythical Beast and that of the common Foam Desert Beasts.
