Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2418 - 2419: The Assailant

Although Feng Yuan didn’t give an order, Kong Qing understood and used a space bubble to protect Qi Chen and the others. This action made Qi Chen’s face change, and he pulled Qi Xiaoshuang to his side, while Ah Mu deployed a barrier within the space bubble again.

Feng Yuan just glanced at Kong Qing and Qi Chen’s group and then paid no further attention to the situation over there, as the space bubble was enough to block the effects of the aftermath.

With a powerful swing of the greatsword in his hand, he knocked the person back. Feng Yuan coldly watched as the opponent’s greatsword transformed again, and a black longbow appeared. Without waiting for the opponent to react, Feng Yuan had already drawn the bow and shot an arrow.

A stele descended from the sky, with a powerful aura suppressing the opponent, rendering them unable to move an inch. However, the person wasn’t completely helpless against this.

A clock’s phantom appeared, making the opponent’s figure become illusory. Feng Yuan snorted coldly, transforming the black longbow into a black long halberd; he gripped its long handle with both hands and drove the halberd head forcefully into the ground. The black blade of the halberd, like lotus petals, thrust outward in all directions with Feng Yuan at the center.

The clock’s phantom shattered, and the illusory figure materialized once again. Before the opponent could react, a locking force made escape impossible.

Originally, the Crimson Judgment didn’t have the effect of locking onto a target, after all, Xiao Ji didn’t have the power to do so. However, with the support of Domain Awakening, Xiao Ji managed to spare some power to lock onto a target, preventing them from evading the attack.

The azure sky was torn with a terrifying chasm, and a power that did not belong to the Data Domain forcefully intruded into this space. Since the battle happened in the blink of an eye, the nearby staff didn’t have time to rush over to help before the sky was ripped open by a formidable force.

A dark blue fissure slowly and steadily crashed toward the Sea Gorge, and the power of the Data Domain couldn’t entirely repel or stop the descent of this force.

Belonging to the Divine Beast’s power, it pressed the features of the Data Domain to the extreme. The man stared intently at Feng Yuan and stopped dodging, as he realized that he simply couldn’t resist or escape the force from the sky.

In that case, solve the target before being destroyed!

Feng Yuan couldn’t possibly not notice the opponent’s change, and he swiped the long halberd in his hand, causing black energy mist to surge out, swiftly enveloping the space between him and the man.

The Flame Longsword slashed through the black mist, revealing opposite a black cannon. Usually, it’s impossible to convert the power of a Beast Tamer into a hot weapon form. After all, no one could simulate the real material structure with just Spirit Beast power.

But for Feng Yuan, this was not a problem at all. The combination of Xiao Ji’s power and the power of the pitch-black Ancient Book easily formed a special Netherworld Energy Cannon in the shape of a cannon.

With a slight curl of his lips, Feng Yuan launched the Netherworld Energy Cannon without hesitation. The dark light hit the enemy, pushing them away from Feng Yuan. The Flame Longsword in his hand was positioned in front to block the incoming bizarre energy, while the man sensed a deadly threat coming from above.

"Damn it!"

With dark hatred in his heart but helpless, ever since he learned from Gladys about Feng Yuan’s threat, he had thought even if it meant mutual destruction, he had to eliminate this major trouble.

But, he hadn’t expected that Feng Yuan lived up to Gladys’ evaluation, and even with all means deployed, he still couldn’t do anything to him.

Although Qi Chen and the others couldn’t tell, in truth, the battle between Feng Yuan and this man had already reached Divine Beast level. However, both of their powers were so restrained that it didn’t display the kind of world-shattering combat scenes typical of Divine Beast battles.

Feng Yuan didn’t want to make it too extravagant, while the other man aimed to ensure every ounce of his strength was used against Feng Yuan. Unfortunately, he didn’t realize that even Divine Beasts like Agunas grappling with Feng Yuan might not have a guaranteed victory.

The fireball of the Crimson Judgment finally hit the ground, and the silhouette vanished into the erupting and blazing Netherfire, with shrapnel from the Data Domain scattering as the Netherfire exploded.

Seeing the shattered data fragments, Dou Yanlan had a thought and said,

"Is this immunity from death in the Data Domain?"

She hadn’t forgotten that in the Data Domain, true death did not exist, meaning under normal circumstances, no one could kill the other within the Data Domain.

"Mm, after all, war is such that a moment of mercy may not yield any good results, or rather, most of the time, mercy for the enemy only brings heavy harm to your own side."

Gazing at the sea gorge turned into a sea of fire, Feng Yuan said lightly, the long halberd in his hand transformed into nine small shields circling around, the shockwave of the Crimson Judgment was blocked by Kong Qing’s space bubble, but the staff rushing from afar weren’t so lucky.

The shockwave directly flung them away, and they were surprised to find that they actually took real damage within the Data Domain.

However, they understood that it was just the aftereffect of the fight, and Feng Yuan hadn’t intentionally attacked them, so they didn’t retaliate against him.

The flames did not rage for too long before being completely extinguished, revealing the ruined ground. The power of the Data Domain was attempting to repair the area but was hindered by the remaining special forces.

On the desolated land, several ancient steles stood autonomously, emitting a power that withers all life. As for the attacker, he had completely vanished, perhaps leaving ashes that merged with the scorched earth.

"Really, couldn’t even get a proper rest."

Sighing, Feng Yuan waved away the nine small shields. That sneak attacker was thoroughly gone, but his interest in leisure had also vanished.

No way, being suddenly attacked, Feng Yuan naturally couldn’t feel like staying around.

The staff stopped Feng Yuan to inquire about what exactly happened. Since Feng Yuan held special credentials, they weren’t overly suspicious. After all, legitimate entries into the Data Domain were recorded, and that resolved person wasn’t recorded, let alone when the opponent attacked Feng Yuan, they saw it as well.

Although Feng Yuan did nothing wrong, they still asked him to wait there as they contacted the Special Service Team for handling.

It wasn’t about punishing him but worrying for Feng Yuan’s safety, as no matter how one looked at it, Feng Yuan’s power didn’t seem strong enough. If Agunas and others were beside him, it wouldn’t be an issue, but now, not a single Divine Beast was at his side.

Feng Yuan didn’t know what to contemplate and didn’t refuse, instead taking this opportunity to go to the Special Service Team.

"What do you intend to do?"

In the Special Service Team hall, Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion. The opponent was definitely not scared of the Imperial Timeline people, yet Qi Chen couldn’t understand what Feng Yuan was here for exactly?

To hold them accountable for the Different Time Gladys matter? But Different Time Gladys wasn’t detained by the Maomu Special Service Team, so why find them?

"I want to confirm whether the attack incident was directed at me, or...all threatening targets."

Feng Yuan didn’t keep them guessing; he always felt that the person wasn’t specifically targeting him, suggesting that this assault might not be against him alone.

"Ha, could it be that from their perspective, we are so weak?"

Old Wei coldly laughed at the gradually shadow-engulfed guy; this result was merely the consequence of their own making.

"I wonder if he encountered an attack."

"Hmph, the Alliance has always been like this, never swiftly reaching a consensus, and only waking up at the critical moment."

"Forget it, what does it have to do with me?"

Speaking softly to himself, Old Wei stepped into the shadows, and the forest, which had been consumed by shadows, reappeared, leaving a trail of devastation proving what had just transpired here.

"Ah, I didn’t expect Anna, your evolution to be so sudden."

Gladys gazed at the half-human height doll-like Spirit Beast in front of her with a sigh. Compared to the Prophecy Doll, the Spirit of Prophecy no longer had a physical appearance, or rather, it became a semi-corporeal, semi-spiritual form.

Though the regular evolution conditions weren’t met, the temporal-spatial disturbance brought by the Imperial Timeline’s wave of invasion triggered the evolution of the Prophecy Doll Anna, closely related to time.

Anna slowly lifted her small hand, her white ritual robe adorned with dark gold mysterious patterns. In Anna’s palm, a light cluster gathered. Gazing at the light, Gladys glimpsed a corner of the future.

It was a devastating war, or rather, war has always been this way...

"We can’t stop it."

Gladys closed her eyes and shook her head, saying that seeing such a future changes nothing. Even a war that Feng Yuan is powerless to prevent, how could she possibly have any countermeasure?
