After the Crystal Barrier was broken by Feng Yuan, Najia’s attack followed closely, but to everyone’s surprise, Najia’s attack was still affected by rule reduction.

"This thing..."

Frowning, Feng Yuan didn’t expect the darkness of the Devouring World to cover this rule on the replica. In this way, Najia could not assist in the attack, as Najia’s attack power was still slightly weak.

Just as Feng Yuan was about to release the Fire Dragon again, a black robed figure opposite him wielded a black flag with gold edges. The figure swung the flagpole forcefully, causing the black flag to flutter in mid-air. Feng Yuan’s face changed.

He threw his black longbow, allowing it to transform into nine small shields. Gripping with his right hand, Feng Yuan pulled a similar flag from the void. The difference was, this flag was light blue, and the pattern on the flag was different.

Wielding the flagpole to roll up the flag, Feng Yuan used it as a spear to stab toward the black-robed person. However, at this moment, a wall of light gray mist appeared between Feng Yuan and the black-robed figure.

The pattern on the flag emitted a faint glow. As Feng Yuan was prepared to use the flag to break through the opponent’s defense, he sensed something was wrong and quickly retreated. Waving the flag in his hand, a huge light blue spherical crystal barrier enveloped everyone. Before Qi Chen and the others could ask, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

The darkness changed once again. This time, however, the darkness did not have the previous cold and evil feeling, but instead was as deep as the starry sky. Unfortunately, this change was not good news for everyone.

Qi Chen and the others sensed the energy around them changing dramatically. The originally free-flowing natural energy was being agitated. Looking at the replica, Different Time Qiu Hanmo said,

"Whose ability is this? Or is it the being behind the scenes taking action?"

With such a huge commotion, there was no way it happened without any action. However, neither the replica Feng Yuan nor the replica White Wolf Deity showed any signs of making a move.

"It’s a very powerful force. This doesn’t seem like their ability."

Even Najia couldn’t help but marvel. The energy being stirred around was exceptionally vast and terrifying. It could be said that, if used to attack them, only Feng Yuan could confidently block it. At least Najia admitted he couldn’t withstand such a powerful energy bombardment, even if it was just a simple energy torrent.

"Glittering Stone? Where on earth did they get this thing?"

Agunas looked at the surrounding energy flow with surprise. At this moment, they had no choice but to go defensive. Once the Glittering Stone was activated, it was a major headache. Back in the Mythical Era, the Glittering Stone was a special weapon material, and the opponent’s current usage was more of a means of consuming the Glittering Stone for large-scale blasting.

All the energy in the entire environment was mobilized by the Glittering Stone. Once it erupts, even Agunas and the others can’t be sure they can completely block it. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

There’s no choice, the explosive power of this thing is too strong, even weapons modified with it are not simple.

Depending on the processed weapon, the effect that Glittering Stone brings will also change. Therefore, in the Mythical Era, Glittering Stone was an important strategic resource.

However, with the end of the Mythical Era, Glittering Stone disappeared from this world, and naturally, no one studied this thing anymore. Agunas couldn’t understand why the darkness of the Devouring World had this thing.

Veronia was relatively unsurprised. After all, Glittering Stone was not appearing for the first time. It had appeared once in the Parallel Space of Yunhuo Village. Therefore, finding Glittering Stone weapons here wasn’t something entirely unexpected.

"I wonder if Feng Yuan and the others will encounter this thing over there."

Veronia said, strengthening the defense. Although he didn’t think Feng Yuan wouldn’t recognize the Glittering Stone, the thing was quite troublesome, especially since everything over there relied almost entirely on Feng Yuan.

Agunas flicked its tail, saying,

"He should be able to block it. But, is this created by relying on the world’s origin, or is it the Glittering Stone they originally had?"

"Who knows, anyway, it’s not much different for us."

Veronia said indifferently, waving her little hand to construct another solid barrier. Because they understood the terror of the Glittering Stone, they had to respond with their full force.

During the time in Yunhuo Village, the power of the Glittering Stone was suppressed by rules, and it couldn’t fully display its terrifying power. And now, in this Parallel World, in this area engulfed by darkness, the opponent didn’t even enhance the power of the Glittering Stone to their advantage; obviously, they would not suppress its effect.

"It really is troublesome."

The flag was planted in the void, and though there was no wind around, it flapped fiercely as if in a gale.

A multicolored energy torrent continuously swept against the spherical crystal barrier, occasionally producing sounds akin to shattering glass. Qi Chen and the others couldn’t help but feel worried for Feng Yuan. Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do at this moment.

Although they could prop up an additional barrier, their barrier and the original barrier had no effect at all. Qiu Hanmo had tried; the barrier used by his Beast Tamer was immediately shattered by the energy torrent when placed outside the barrier set by Feng Yuan.

If the other side didn’t also have the same flag, Qiu Hanmo might even suspect if Feng Yuan’s strength was terrifying. Upon seeing that similar flag, Qiu Hanmo suspected that Feng Yuan might have several special Divine Artifacts on him.

At least, the effect of that flag was unexpectedly strong.

"It’s not my style to just take hits and not fight back."

Glancing at the frenzied energy torrent, Feng Yuan said coldly. As Qiu Hanmo guessed, this barrier wasn’t supported by Feng Yuan but was the effect of that flag.

Calling Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan shook the lantern again. In the eerie blue flames, Xiao Ji’s form transformed. The initially bold eagle turned into a giant bird with a tail feather burning with black and emerald-green flames.

With a long cry, Xiao Ji looked at its new form somewhat surprised. The change in this form gave Xiao Ji an illusion as if it was as strong as Agunas and the others.

Feng Yuan didn’t explain anything. If not for fearing his actions would exceed boundaries, he wouldn’t have let Xiao Ji enter the divine state.

"I never expected this place to truly weave the rules of two eras."

Veronia, whose appearance had changed, looked at the unchanged replica opposite and waved her little hand, causing several Crystalline Dragons to instantly condense. Although Veronia’s strength had not changed much, in the divine state, it possessed a special trait of nearly ignoring all rules.

Even though the opponent was still covered by that unique rule of damage reduction, in the divine state, Veronia could still deal almost full damage.

However, only Agunas and Veronia could enter the divine state, as Gitalien, not being a Divine Beast of the Mythical Era, lacked this ability. Tamur’s inability to enter the divine state surprised Agunas and the others.

For the divine state was a commonly used desperate measure in the Mythical Era. After all, entering the divine state would significantly increase one’s strength, but the side effects were significant.

The divine state had a short duration. Once it ended, one would enter a weakened state five times the duration of the divine state.

If not for the opponent using the Glittering Stone, they would never have entered the divine state, as this would mean they would temporarily withdraw from the battle after the divine state ends.

Relying solely on Tamur and Gitalien to continue breaking through was nearly impossible. Even though both were top-level Divine Beasts, that giant chimera was just too tough. Even now, they hadn’t managed to break through the chimera’s blockade.

"End it quickly!"

Agunas tossed a book and shouted loudly. Around it, various illusory ancient scrolls slowly appeared, and a river of time vaguely manifested, as Veronia softly exclaimed and waved her little hand.

An illusory world formed quickly behind Veronia. It was the World of Mirrors at its peak, with a vast Power of the World, forcibly breaking through the blockade and restrictions from the Parallel World.

The projection of the World of Mirrors lacked any particularly dazzling attack methods. It silently and swiftly devoured and assimilated the surrounding space, much more unadorned than the image of the Time River, which projected countless ultimate moves.

But in terms of efficiency, the assimilative devouring speed of the World of Mirrors was not weaker than Agunas’ attacks at all.

Though not fast, nothing could hinder this assimilative devouring, not even for a second.

Although the indiscriminate bombardment encountered some obstructions that led to pauses, in contrast, the devouring of the World of Mirrors was more effective.

Especially when facing that giant chimera, the World of Mirrors completely ignored its inherent terrifying rule resistance. Even when the bombardment was thwarted, it continued to steadily devour the space the giant chimera occupied, even erasing a chunk of the chimera.
