Divine Beast Creator

A giant shadow that defies logic rapidly filled the entire lab, and if Veronia hadn’t transferred it to the Mirror Space in time, the spacious lab might have been crushed.

"What’s this? Thought influencing reality? It’s really something special."

Looking at the colossal figure before her, Veronia couldn’t help but marvel, holding her forehead, Feng Yuan appeared to be in a headache as he said

"Stop talking, help me knock it down first."

"Huh?"

Curiously, Veronia looked at Feng Yuan, trying to confirm if he was joking, but the rain of slime from the swinging tentacles made it clear to Veronia that there was an accident.

"I didn’t expect the Qi Realm Stance to have something like a Fantasy Stance."

With a bitter smile, Feng Yuan glanced at Xiao Ji because he had absorbed all the backlash himself, so Xiao Ji and the others were not affected, otherwise, the chain reaction might have caused them trouble.

Not understanding what had happened, Xiao Ji and the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound switched to Qi Realm Stance and charged at the giant Octopus Demon.

That’s right, compared to the previous cute octopus, the current giant octopus was downright terrifying like a demon, a face full of menace, the multitude of twisted structures on the slimy tentacles, appearing like a calamity from the depths of the sea.

Of course, its power was equally outrageous.

"The Shallow-Dwelling Octopus only has good-level strength, how did it become Sacred Beast-level?"

After just a single exchange, Veronia noticed something wrong; its strength was absurdly high, so much so that even Xiao Ji couldn’t boost its own strength temporarily to such an exaggerated degree.

Due to the mysterious power elevation of the Shallow-Dwelling Octopus·Deep Sea Demon Shadow to Sacred Beast level, the joint effort of Xiao Ji and the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound didn’t cause much harm, or rather, without the Meltdown Characteristic of the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, they might not have even broken its defense.

Yet, because of this, Feng Yuan and the others noticed that the priority of the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s characteristic was somewhat absurd. Normally, with such a disparity in strength order, penetration or strong defense-reducing characteristics wouldn’t work because the priority usually follows the Spirit Beast’s level.

But the priority of the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s characteristic seemed abnormal, unless the Shallow-Dwelling Octopus·Deep Sea Demon Shadow has a problem with its priority, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s characteristic priority was definitely above Sacred Beast level.

At this moment, Feng Yuan and the others had no desire to ponder these things further, as the Shallow-Dwelling Octopus·Abyss Demon Shadow, which fell into a rampage and chaos, wreaked havoc in the Mirror Space.

"It’s really troublesome, if it weren’t for you being so whimsical, we might never have known about such a change."

Although the berserk Shallow-Dwelling Octopus was troublesome, that’s all it was. Sacred Beast level power was still not enough in the face of a top-level Divine Beast. Had Xiao Ji and the others not charged forward, Veronia might have already smashed it with a Crystal Shine Dragon.

It’s not that she lacks other ultimate moves, or rather, the Crystal Shine Dragon isn’t even considered a Divine Beast Technique, but for Veronia, it was convenient, even if once wasn’t enough, she could still smash it repeatedly.

Seeing Xiao Ji and the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound working together to chip away at health using the Meltdown Characteristic, Feng Yuan helplessly said

"Xiao Ji, you all step back, Veronia, use a Divine Beast Technique to knock it out."

Even if it wouldn’t cause worse consequences, the relentless spiritual attack was still making Feng Yuan quite uncomfortable, otherwise, he wouldn’t have stopped Xiao Ji and the others.

With a soft humph, Veronia glanced at Xiao Ji, who stepped to the side, and with a flick of her hand, the Crystal Rose Garden unfolded. The Shallow-Dwelling Octopus seemed to realize something was wrong, as waves rose from its side, carrying endless seawater as if to engulf the Mirror Space, but unfortunately, compared to the opponent’s Ocean Domain, Veronia’s Crystal Rose Garden, being a Divine Beast Technique, had a higher priority.

Crystalline roses gently swayed in the seawater, emitting white light before erupting violently.

Once the white light dissipated, the Shallow-Dwelling Octopus had reverted to its original form, limp on the ground, as Feng Yuan pulled out the Ancient Black Book, waved, and golden text sank into the Shallow-Dwelling Octopus’s body, prompting Veronia to glance at Feng Yuan and say

"What did you do?"

"Memory erasure."

"How nasty, making it help, then erasing its memory at the end."

"Tsk, with the spiritual pollution just now, if not handled, it would be very troublesome later, okay? I was only erasing those memories and false emotions that shouldn’t appear, otherwise, it would definitely lead to serious aftereffects."

Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan replied irritably. He admitted it was his oversight, but this post-treatment seemed unobjectionable to him, given how powerful the Qi Realm Stance’s influence was; even he found it hard at the time, let alone the Shallow-Dwelling Octopus taking the impact head-on.

If he hadn’t cleared away that spiritual pollution, even if it reverted to its original form, it still wouldn’t work.

"So, what exactly happened? Is the Qi Realm stance of the Shallow-Dwelling Octopus such an exaggerated thing?"

Looking at Feng Yuan, Veronia couldn’t help but ask, mainly because she really wanted to know what had just happened, why did the Shallow-Dwelling Octopus instantly leap to Sacred Beast level power?

After a while, Feng Yuan finally recovered, glancing at the still-unconscious Shallow-Dwelling Octopus, he said with a bitter smile

"No, it’s Fantasy Stance. I didn’t expect there to be a Fantasy Stance outside of the normal Qi Realm Stance; I was just testing it out, but then... it got out of control."

With a shrug, Feng Yuan was rather helpless. He had been curious about what the Fantasy Stance was at the time, but he didn’t expect it to be so absurd. Not to mention the out-of-control issue, the power boost was very abnormal.

However, this was understandable, as among various fantasies related to octopuses, especially the ones Feng Yuan was thinking about at the time, were those terrifying deep-sea overlords. Under such circumstances, the appearance of Sacred Beast level power wasn’t surprising.

Or to say, if not for the limit of Qi Realm being Sacred Beast level, Feng Yuan suspected it might have manifested terror-grade Divine Beast strength.

"Fantasy stance? Could it be that those overlapping with fantasy images all possess this dangerous stance?"

Veronia looked at Feng Yuan to confirm if her guess was correct. Shrugging his shoulders, Feng Yuan continued to use the Ancient Black Book to heal Xiao Ji as he said

"Seems like it, but it requires beastmaster guidance; at least with Xiao Ji and the others, I didn’t sense the existence of such a thing, wait, maybe there was, but I didn’t pay attention at the time."

Recalling the trial process, Feng Yuan was a bit uncertain. Seeing Veronia’s face full of doubt, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but defend himself

"I’m not joking. At that time, I kept thinking about whether I could become a terrifying Ocean Demon God, and then during the trial, it responded. If I hadn’t chosen that response, it should have entered a normal Qi Realm Stance."

"I don’t know about Xiao Ji and the others’ trial back then, but in my impression, it seems there was a vague calling, although very faint. I don’t even know if it was something I made up myself now."

Feng Yuan dared not confirm if it was an illusion since he never really cared about it at the time. Now, it was impossible to retake the trial for this matter, not that it couldn’t be done, but the consequences were too severe.

Looking at the still-unconscious Shallow-Dwelling Octopus revealed everything; the Fantasy Stance differed from Qi Realm Stance, its psychic impact was terrifying. Xiao Ji and the others currently lacked the power to combat psychic shock.

And unlike just now, what had gone wrong was with the Shallow-Dwelling Octopus, and Feng Yuan stopped the psychic shock that was conveyed from the Shallow-Dwelling Octopus and affected by integration. If he didn’t stop it, the psychic shock would propagate to Xiao Ji and the others following the effect of integration.

Probably because they’ve seen so many strange things already, even knowing Fantasy Stance could boost power to Sacred Beast level, Xiao Ji didn’t show much interest.

After all, the Shallow-Dwelling Octopus had already lost control, hadn’t it? It wanted power because it wanted to prove it could be helpful to Feng Yuan, not a nuisance.

"It’s quite special. Although I’m curious if I have a Fantasy Stance, I’d rather not test it."

With a meaningful glance at Feng Yuan, Veronia spoke. It indeed made her curious about what her own Fantasy Stance looked like, but considering the potential loss of control issue, she chose to forgo it.

Kidding aside, she couldn’t assure herself that being a Divine Beast inherently exempted her from losing control; if not, the destructive power from a top-level Divine Beast losing control could be massive.

"Forget it, let Meng Binglan handle the warning about this thing, it’s better not to study it."

Recalling the unpleasant experience earlier, Feng Yuan decisively abandoned the idea of researching further.
