Divine Beast Creator

"Without their physical form, Soul Projection loses its immortality. The real trouble with Soul Projection is just that one feature of immortality."

Dou Yanlan didn’t quite understand Feng Yuan’s meaning, and he didn’t explain. As he watched the incessant explosions, Feng Yuan gripped the black scythe in his hand and said

"Be careful, this thing isn’t that simple. A presence conducting a ritual, even without immortality, is no simple entity!"

He swung the black scythe forcefully, and ribbon-like flat crystal columns flickering with dark light rose up to cocoon everyone like a chrysalis. At the same time, blood-red energy impacts shot out from the explosion like an arrow rain and struck the crystalline chrysalis.

Feng Yuan summoned an unknown power, and Veronia felt the oppressive presence of a Divine Beast Level strength on the crystalline chrysalis. Yet even with such power, there were still numerous cracks left behind after their counterattack.

Standing inside and seeing the crystalline chrysalis instantly covered in cracks as if it would break any second, Veronia was somewhat surprised. No matter whose power Feng Yuan summoned, at least the thing’s defensive power reached the Divine Beast Level. Yet even so, such a situation occurred when faced with the counterattack.

"This strength, it’s not right."

This was already the power after stacking the Anti-Divine Beast Runes, yet this was merely the action of a single ritualist. Isn’t the martial strength of the Qi Realm Timeline a bit exaggerated?

Veronia didn’t understand why this was happening. This wasn’t even a trump card; how would the people in the Qi Realm Timeline respond to such irregular power? Even in the Main World, something like this likely requires Divine Beasts to intervene.

As for sending Sacred Beast Level Beastmasters? It’s not impossible, but if not many are sent, it’s hard to say if there could be casualties.

"Percentage damage, looks like I used the wrong strategy."

Knowing Veronia’s intent, Feng Yuan said without turning back while fiercely flicking the black scythe in his hand, causing the Black Bone Sword to shoot out from the jade white bone ground. At this moment, the explosion ceased, the dust dispersed, revealing the concealed gray spherical barrier.

Compared to before, the gray spherical barrier became more opaque. However, as the Black Bone Sword hit it, the barrier churned up swirling dust.

The gray mist thinned again, and the Soul Projection hidden within it became vaguely visible, seeing this, Veronia seemed to understand something and said

"Only need quantity, not power?"

"More or less. Attacks with power beyond Elite Level count as effective hits. Who knows how many attacks that thing can withstand?"

Gazing at the thinning gray mist spherical barrier, Feng Yuan said lightly. He didn’t let Eclipse deploy destruction rules to forcibly break the other side’s defenses because that was meaningless. It wouldn’t help Qi Realm Dou Yanlan find a solution, and even for the future Main World, the collected intelligence might be necessary.

Feng Yuan did not forget that the Qi Realm had already expanded into the Main World, and the erosion of the Qi Realm, while theoretically shouldn’t happen there, waiting until then to find a solution would be too late.

Veronia understood Feng Yuan’s plan, waved her small hand, and summoned a torrent of Crystal Luminance Stones. In terms of attack count, Veronia’s torrent clearly exceeded the number of Black Bone Arrows summoned by Feng Yuan.

The torrent rushed at the gray spherical barrier like surging river water, and under the Crystal Luminance Stone’s wash, the barrier shattered within less than a second.

Veronia didn’t expect the barrier to break so quickly and couldn’t stop the torrent, which went straight through the Soul Projection.

However, a completely different situation arose. The Soul Projection somehow lost its immortality, and after being shattered into fragments by the torrent, it didn’t revive again.

With the supporting pillars lost, not only did this special space start to tremble, but the disaster that had already devoured a portion of Qi Hua City stopped expanding abruptly, this strange change instantly alerted the busy officials in Qi Hua City.

Han Qiuyue was awakened by her phone ringing, held her head, sat up, and confusedly watched the space crack scattering transparent fragments. She was just about to follow the group into the crack when suddenly darkness overcame her, and upon waking, she found herself here.

Of course, Feng Yuan wouldn’t allow Han Qiuyue to follow them into that space. She wasn’t really a bad person, and the special nature of the Qi Realm space wasn’t unknown to him. Even Qi Realm Dou Yanlan could only ensure her safety under Tamur’s shelter, Feng Yuan doubted she could survive if she ventured in.

Glancing at the still unconscious woman, Feng Yuan gestured, causing black mist to form a large hand to grab her. With the surroundings collapsing, Feng Yuan didn’t intend to linger and shouted "Go," leading her out.

Qi Realm Dou Yanlan felt Feng Yuan’s actions were a bit too rushed. Though the space was trembling, there was still time until it collapsed. Why not take the opportunity to investigate more?

Unfortunately, due to being sheltered by the Mythical Era Projection, she could only act with them, so despite wanting to continue investigating, she had to leave the space with them.

What about abandoning the shelter?

Before, there might have been a chance, but after Dou Yanlan explained the dangers of the Deep Layer of the Qi Realm, she was somewhat frightened. Though the ritual’s outcome remains unclear, she felt the ritualists’ actions were likely connected to the pollution of the deep layer.

Upon exiting the ritual space, Feng Yuan looked back at the special space with a vague expression. In his view, hidden items were revealed as this area became unstable.

Unexpectedly, the space had a red spherical form. Of course, Feng Yuan understood this was merely because it manifested as understandable in his current state.

Truly important were the blood-colored luminous ribbons supporting the space below. Though these appeared like genuine silk, they without a doubt upheld this special space, and from them, many red threads extended.

These threads entwined with buildings, forming special erosion effects, which were the true nature of the disaster—a structure using the special power from the deepest layer of the Qi Realm.

"Strange, if it’s just this, why would the city disappear in the end?"

Touching his chin, Feng Yuan looked at Veronia and the others. He didn’t know whether they could see this scene and whether they had reasonable speculations.

"Granting a different form to those it touches, currently only Spirit Beasts enjoy this effect, without trials and side effects. It seems like new power, but..."

Lorraine Tower pondered the blood-colored crystal stone. It appeared harmless for now, but with recent chaos erupting, even as a Divine Beast, it dared not assert there was no hidden danger.

Unfortunately, contacting Feng Yuan would have been ideal for checking it out, but regarding the current handling of the blood-colored crystal?

They couldn’t intervene, though Divine Beasts, as it appeared within human territory and ostensibly enhances Spirit Beasts. Hidden threats must be assessed by humans themselves.

If unwilling to use it, they might need to cordon off the area’s location. Even for them, the matter couldn’t be swayed on the temporal level.

"This thing feels ominous, even affecting Divine Beasts’ power—there truly are no hidden dangers?"

Yang Hongzhi stood at a distance watching the blood-colored crystal; Najia whispered from his shoulder

"Danger and opportunity coexist, though danger may exceed human limits. Contacting Feng Yuan would be ideal."

"We can’t ask him for everything. Najia, what do you think they’ll decide?"

With a helpless smile, Yang Hongzhi pondered and curiously asked, staring at the crystal. Najia considered and said

"Probably like other countries, allowing some to try first, at least keeping risks within observable range."

Recently, elsewhere the blood-colored crystals were either consumed or tested, confirming each supports a hundred Spirit Beasts with different forms.

However, some nations like Great Xia remain cautious, not easily allowing people to approach or use them.
