Qi Chen looked in astonishment at the golden droplets floating beside him. Unlike Feng Yuan, Qi Chen and his companions activated the Crystal Domain upon landing, and due to the state granted by Feng Yuan, Hao Chun Bird and Ah Mu unlocked higher-ranked ultimate moves.

Therefore, whether it’s Domain Awakening or Domain Battlefield, they can be utilized. However, unlike mythical transformation, Feng Yuan’s technique uses the Lantern to enhance Spirit Beasts by triggering the effects of natural energy. As a result, the side effects from using ultimate moves beyond one’s rank aren’t counteracted by the state.

Of course, there’s a benefit to this method—it can sustain the bestowed state for a long time if given some recovery time, making it more suitable for prolonged battles compared to the one-time strength of mythical transformation.

A vast forest occupied the altered land, with Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan standing on a crystal platform created by Xing Bo. They were both protected by Xing Bo, while Hao Chun Bird and Cotton assisted Ah Mu, who used large-scale ultimate moves to clear and purify the area.

Since Ah Mu is the main force, more star points were concentrating on Qi Chen rather than Dou Yanlan.

"His lantern, we can’t tell outsiders, and it’s uncertain if Qiu Hanmo is trustworthy."

Dou Yanlan pondered as she watched the battlefield. Due to the substantial boost from the bestowed state, they faced little resistance while clearing the area.

This was expected, considering the bestowed state could elevate their power to a legendary level. Moreover, the purification effect was highly effective against the altered land, making the opponent’s defensive measures seem like paper before Ah Mu.

Not to mention, there were two Spirit Beasts specifically assisting Ah Mu, one of which was exceptionally compatible, further enhancing Ah Mu’s strength.

Although the core region of the devouring world’s darkness is overwhelmingly powerful, even Qi Chen and his team can’t contend with it now. However, having just been devoured, the darkness’s strength here isn’t very high.

Qi Chen hesitantly asked,

"Isn’t Qiu Hanmo a teammate of Hong Zhi? Shouldn’t he be trustworthy?"

"Not necessarily. The lantern... is too special. If the information leaks, it surely won’t be good for Feng Yuan. But... he should be a smart person too."

Dou Yanlan sighed in helplessness. As a friend of Feng Yuan, she truly didn’t want Feng Yuan to be swept into another storm because of such a unique artifact.

Moreover, once the lantern becomes known by outsiders, surely someone will be tempted to act secretly.

Unlike the Divine Beasts, the lantern is merely an item, yet it can briefly form a considerable force at a legendary level, which is incredibly tempting for some people.

However, Dou Yanlan and Qi Chen couldn’t do much but hope Qiu Hanmo understands what shouldn’t be done, or else it would be troublesome.

Compared to Qi Chen and his team, Qiu Hanmo and Yang Hongzhi were more aggressive. They were members of the elite squad, and with a powerful assist from Najia, they deployed all their Beast Tamers to clean the surrounding environment.

The golden star points were densely packed like a star ocean, with Najia continually switching auxiliary ultimate moves to enhance both’s Beast Tamers.

As the Beast Tamers returned for a temporary rest, Yang Hongzhi looked at Qiu Hanmo and said seriously,

"Hanmo, I know you’re smart. I hope you don’t reveal anything about Feng Yuan in any manner."

What Dou Yanlan could think of, Yang Hongzhi could certainly think of too. Being teammates with the other party, Yang Hongzhi knew well about Qiu Hanmo’s style and tactics.

If merely keeping it confidential, he might orchestrate an "unintentional leak" situation, so Yang Hongzhi didn’t truly expect to persuade him.

No choice, Qiu Hanmo had more than once agreed and adhered to promises yet found loopholes to circumvent them.

With a light smile, Qiu Hanmo nonchalantly said,

"You don’t trust me that much?"

"Because you’ve done it more than once."

"Ha, makes me feel sad, but rest assured, he is not simple, I wouldn’t ask for trouble."

If unnecessary, Qiu Hanmo typically wouldn’t do anything that might affect teammates’ trust. But sometimes, he’s forced to play the villain, feeling uneasy letting Yang Hongzhi handle it, as those matters aren’t easy to deal with.

Concerning Feng Yuan’s secret?

Did he not notice that Qiu Hanmo didn’t even share his suspicions with Yang Hongzhi?

To Qiu Hanmo, Feng Yuan’s identity was extremely suspicious, yet he also knew that behind Feng Yuan lay a tremendous secret.

Qiu Hanmo didn’t feel that the secret posed a threat to his living place, so why insist on uncovering it? What’s wrong with blissful ignorance?

Feng Yuan didn’t expect his lantern would make Qi Chen and his companions have so many thoughts and concerns. He commanded the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound and Xiao Ji to quickly clear the land.

But rather than clearing, it was more apt to say destroying the world with ultimate moves.

Despite the short duration of its devouring, Feng Yuan didn’t intend to save it at all, considering it would ultimately be destroyed, making it unnecessary to increase his workload unnecessarily.

Both the altered land and the unreachable sky turned into a sky full of starlight under Xiao Ji and Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s ultimate moves.

Witnessing this beautiful yet cruel scene, Feng Yuan sighed. If not for the temporary impossibility of true life emerging in parallel worlds, Feng Yuan might not have been able to act decisively.

Shaking his head slightly, Feng Yuan saw Xiao Ji and the others weren’t in danger, closed his eyes, and raised his right hand, softly humming an unknown tune.

The ethereal and quiet hum echoed through this world being gradually destroyed, with golden star points still moving towards Feng Yuan, albeit slowing significantly and even beginning to morph into golden images, fleeting like meteors.

These were memories of this world, or rather, everything that once occurred in this world.

Due to its proximity to the core region, the parallel world here wasn’t simply an experimental field. At least, pseudo-creature civilizations once existed here.

Sadly, as the devouring world’s darkness engulfed this world, even phantom civilizations were like castles of sand washed away by waves, leaving no trace.

As Feng Yuan felt sadness, a dark shadow crept across the empty land cleared by Xiao Ji and Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, slowly sneaking towards Feng Yuan.

Because Xiao Ji and Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s ultimate moves were uniquely flame-type, various shadows appeared in the region, allowing the sneaking shadow to successfully evade their attention.

Feng Yuan, humming softly, seemed unaware of the approaching shadow until, at the moment the dark shadow lunged, he waved and gripped his right hand without turning his head.

A black robe phantom swung the Black Scythe fiercely amidst Xiao Ji’s furious screams, and an eerie blue Flame Storm swirled around Feng Yuan, soon adorned with deep purple and bright yellow.

The ambushing shadow failed, being completely obliterated by the terrifying Flame Storm.

Compared to Xiao Ji and others, Feng Yuan’s true action would be far more terrifying, as Feng Yuan’s strength far surpassed any Divine Beast. Even if restrained for various reasons, it only capped the directly usable force at Divine Beast levels.

As long as it didn’t exceed this limit, no matter the number of added states, it didn’t affect Feng Yuan’s strength.

Even though Feng Yuan was maintaining the special state for Qi Chen, it didn’t reduce Feng Yuan’s usable strength.

With the shadow destroyed, an angry existence roared, causing giant Flesh Colossuses to continuously emerge.

However, facing Feng Yuan’s Flame Storm, the Flesh Colossuses seemed like paper, swiftly scattered by the storm.

The continued emergence of Flesh Colossuses provided Feng Yuan with a massive number of star points, which flowed towards him, turning into scenes of the past in his harmonies.

This world once housed pseudo-creatures akin to humans who, under guidance, evolved new possibilities. Unfortunately, these possibilities couldn’t break free from past shadows, so they abandoned this world.

Without guidance, pseudo-creatures couldn’t continue evolving, leaving civilization stagnated. Although time kept flowing, civilization remained unchanged until the darkness arrived...
