Thanks to the rapid growth characteristic of Soul Armaments, the human side became unstoppable, winning battle after battle and forcing the Blood Clan to abandon their armor and flee in disarray.
Countless Blood Clan armaments were later reforged into equipment by humans, becoming a source of human strength.
Ultimately, the Blood Clan was forced to cower in dark corners, no longer daring to easily appear in the human world.
However, humanity's glorious victory did not last long.
Due to the limitations of lifespan, human society—after achieving peace—was ultimately unable to avoid the emergence of traitors.
Through the method of the First Embrace, the Blood Clan quickly obtained the cultivation method for Soul Armaments and began a new phase of planning against humanity.
After acquiring the Soul Armament cultivation method, the Blood Clan felt like parched land receiving sweet rain, finally seeing the dawn of a counterattack.
It also made them realize that, besides the powerful magic they possessed, there existed such a miraculous and powerful force that could be utilized.
Previously, the Blood Clan had not placed much importance on traditional magical equipment.
Although such equipment could provide assistance, it seemed insignificant compared to the terrifying magical power of the Blood Clan themselves.
After all, the Blood Clan were inherently a magical race. They possessed unique abilities, grew rapidly under Dracula's power, and could quickly gain magic and experience by devouring V-type Blood.
This ability allowed the Blood Clan to rise quickly and defeat humanity in a short period.
For them, equipment had merely been icing on the cake. Many Blood Clan even believed their claws and fangs were more effective than weapons.
However, the situation had now changed.
The emergence of Soul Armaments made them realize that relying solely on magic or V-type Blood could no longer meet the demands of battle.
Compared to equipment, even devouring additional V-type Blood made it difficult to defeat fully armed top-tier human powerhouses.
What was worse, these powerhouses seemed to grow rapidly through unknown means, as if new ones were constantly emerging.
Even if the Blood Clan managed to eliminate one powerful opponent, another would appear almost immediately.
This placed unprecedented pressure on the Blood Clan.
With the mentality of "if you can't beat them, join them," the Blood Clan also threw themselves into cultivating Soul Armaments.
After the first Blood Clan member successfully completed the transformation, the practice quickly spread throughout the entire race.
This eventually led to a fierce arms race between humans and the Blood Clan.
Both sides continuously upgraded their equipment and forged increasingly powerful weapons.
A new era had begun.
After hundreds of years of development, various types of equipment appeared like mushrooms after rain.
At the same time, a corresponding grading system was established.
Magical equipment was divided into levels based on quality and power, ranging from Level 1 at the lowest to Level 30 at the highest.
Every five levels formed a tier:
Common, Fine, Rare, Uncommon, Epic, and finally Legendary.
Different equipment granted different bonuses.
Some increased magical power, some enhanced physical damage, and others boosted speed.
Taking Shaw as an example, the combined levels of his six equipment pieces—including weapons, armor, and accessories—constituted his overall level.
Therefore, magical equipment and equipment forging techniques became some of the most crucial elements in this world.
Every powerful magical weapon was regarded as a generational treasure by its respective family or faction.
Some forces were even built entirely around a single piece of equipment.
Members lined up in succession, waiting for inheritance. Once the previous owner died, the equipment would pass to the next.
And if someone possessed a powerful equipment blueprint, it was equivalent to holding limitless wealth.
Countless people would willingly become followers and serve under that person.
Shaw's family, as one of the oldest Blood Clan lineages, controlled hundreds of equipment forging techniques and commanded numerous fierce generals.
At critical moments, they could rapidly convert resources into large quantities of high-tier equipment, making them a top-tier military force.
The patriarch of the family possessed a Level 30 Legendary ancient greatsword—Apocalypse.
This sword not only had extraordinary killing power but also carried a chaotic burning attribute.
Anyone wounded by its blade would be engulfed by chaotic flames and inevitably perish.
However, regrettably, this peerless divine weapon remained firmly in the hands of the Beast Faction patriarch—Shaw's father.
After all, Blood Clan members possessed immortality.
As long as his father did not suffer misfortune and die in battle, Shaw could only remain the crown prince, forever unable to inherit such a treasure.
Even if his father were to die, the sword might not necessarily fall into his hands.
After all, whoever managed to kill his father would most likely seize the legendary weapon as well.

Xiao developed a strong interest in the Soul Armament cultivation system because it was almost identical to the concept of Natal Magic Weapons in cultivation.
He could not help but wonder what changes would occur if his Golden Core could be integrated into a Soul Armament.
Currently, due to the limited space within the body, the Golden Core could only exist in a miniature form.
This inevitably led to severe limitations in energy storage.
However, if the Golden Core could be placed within the Soul Armament space, the situation might change entirely.
In that case, the Golden Core's size would no longer be restricted by the body's limited space.
Instead, its size would depend on materials and technology.
After all, the Soul Armament space was vastly larger than the human body.
Such a change could lead to a qualitative leap for Cyber Cultivation.
Furthermore, within the traditional cultivation system, structures such as the Dantian and meridians are mysterious entities that both exist and do not exist.
Cultivators can perceive them with divine sense, yet they cannot be discovered through anatomical methods.
Soul Armaments might therefore become a crucial opportunity for Cyber Cultivation to evolve beyond mere material and energy-based imitation cultivation and reach the quantum level of the soul.
Xiao could hardly suppress his excitement.
He was eager to explore the possibilities contained within Soul Armaments.
The method for opening Soul Armaments was not complicated.
It required sufficient magical power and specialized meditation techniques to perceive the soul and expand the Soul Armament space.
However, Xiao did not intend to test it on himself.
Anything involving the soul demanded extreme caution.
Risks could not be taken lightly.
Moreover, what he intended to create was not the original Soul Armament space of the Blood Clan World, but an improved Cyber Cultivation Armament space.
Such a system would require extensive experimentation.
Only through large-scale testing could the optimal solution be discovered.
