Divine Beast Creator
Chapter 2293 - 2294: Discovery and Infiltration
The terrifying power of Xiao Ji’s Divine State startled everyone a bit; they hadn’t expected Feng Yuan to temporarily boost Xiao Ji’s strength to such an extent. Of course, considering the means Feng Yuan had previously demonstrated, this didn’t seem entirely impossible.
The opponent was frantically releasing powerful energy assaults using the Glittering Stones. However, faced with Xiao Ji in Divine State, these attacks appeared feeble and inadequate.
Ultimately, under the assault of Xiao Ji in Divine State, the group of replicas was forced to retreat, the darkness receding significantly. The Giant Composite Entity, previously hidden within the darkness, was exposed. Looking at this enormous grotesque creature blocking their path forward, Qi Chen furrowed his brows slightly.
This thing was filled with an aura of chaos and disorder. They couldn’t quite pinpoint what type of opponent it was, or whether it would be particularly difficult to handle.
"Strange, weren’t Agunas and the others moving forward?"
Qi Chen looked confusedly at the Giant Composite Entity sealing the space. At the moment, this Giant Composite Entity was in a flesh state, appearing no different from what they had seen before.
"Is this a trap left by those replicas?"
Qiu Hanmo spoke suspiciously, the appearance of the Giant Composite Entity was too odd, leading him to think along these lines.
"Not sure, but be careful."
With furrowed brows, Feng Yuan reminded, this Giant Composite Entity seemed to carry an unfriendly intent. Moreover, he sensed an extremely strange power on the Giant Composite Entity; perhaps, the replicas were not simply pushed back by Xiao Ji.
To be cautious, Feng Yuan gathered everyone together, not concerning himself with Qi Chen and the others from the Parallel World. They were not true existences, thus there wasn’t a possibility of death, allowing them relatively more freedom in their actions.
Glancing at Xiao Ji next to him, Feng Yuan warily observed the giant composite entity. At this moment, the Giant Composite Entity changed again, the flesh receding to reveal bronze metal skeleton and a variety of metallic screaming faces.
"This thing can switch between two eras, but it doesn’t seem that simple..."
Touching his chin, Feng Yuan sensed an exceedingly odd power within the Giant Composite Entity. If he guessed correctly...
"All of you come over here, I’ll try to see if we can break through."
Swinging the Lantern, Feng Yuan spoke to everyone as he condensed the Death-Crossing Vessel, planning to directly charge through with everyone.
Given that the Death-Crossing Vessel itself was also an ultimate move from the Death Series, even Qiu Hanmo from the Parallel World did not doubt that Feng Yuan executed this ultimate move, rather than Xiao Ji.
The Death-Crossing Vessel differed from the Nether Cross; the altered ultimate move diminished in lethality but possessed effects akin to a transportation tool. However, Qi Chen did not quite understand why Xiao Ji’s power could support the Death-Crossing Vessel.
It’s worth noting that Cotton and Xiao Ji have always used Nether Cross, not Death-Crossing Vessel; not just for convenience, but because their power can’t support the Death-Crossing Vessel.
This ultimate move is extremely consuming, yet in terms of effect, merely using Nether Cross is more convenient. After all, as a transportation tool, despite enhancing safety, it’s still not as safe as a genuine transportation tool.
Thus, this ultimate move, which can be used only by those at Legendary Level, is quite unpopular.
But comparatively, at least the safety of the Death-Crossing Vessel can be assured, reducing the likelihood of everyone being forcibly scattered.
The Death-Crossing Vessel carried Feng Yuan and his group toward the Giant Composite Entity. Qi Chen and others prepared themselves onboard the Death-Crossing Vessel. Just as they were about to approach the Giant Composite Entity, they collectively struck, various ultimate moves bombarded the Giant Composite Entity, with powerful energy strikes, despite the opponent switching rules for evasion, it still sustained considerable damage.
The surface of the Giant Flesh Chimera in flesh state exploded, revealing the internal writhing blood vessels and granulation attempting to heal the wounds, and those maggot-like granulations appeared quite revolting. Feng Yuan did not halt the Death-Crossing Vessel, continuing toward the wound.
With a suspicious glance at Feng Yuan, Qiu Hanmo from the Parallel World didn’t think Feng Yuan intended to harm them; he just couldn’t grasp Feng Yuan’s purpose.
"This thing is truly troublesome."
After taking a rest and recovering, Agunas and Veronia rejoined the battle, yet the Giant Composite Entity remained a significant problem.
No matter how they exerted themselves, this Giant Composite Entity continued to stand in their way, hindering their progress.
"I wonder if Mythical Transformation can deal with this thing."
Launching the Crystal Giant Dragon once again, Veronia spoke, though the current use of Golden Palace had decent effects, its efficiency still wasn’t satisfactory.
Divine State wasn’t impossible to re-enter, just the five times weakened state duration caused its efficiency to be less than optimal.
"Probably not, Mythical Transformation cannot negate rule defences."
Tamur spoke calmly, thinking of something it said
"Perhaps I can attempt it, this thing isn’t as simple."
"Alright, looks like this thing is quite tricky."
Veronia sighed, stepping aside. It didn’t place much hope in Tamur; the thing is so troublesome, neither it nor Agunas managed to handle it, Tamur might also struggle.
In terms of capabilities, it and Agunas at least had means to counter its rule changes, whereas Tamur could only rely on brute force.
As Tamur withdrew its power, the Golden Palace dissipated. Taking a moment to recover, Tamur moved to the front, as Agunas and the others transitioned to a defensive stance, the Giant Composite Entity began staging formations summoning a bunch of minions preparing for a surprise attack.
"If indeed so, then..."
Gazing at the enormous Giant Composite Entity, Tamur mumbled while beginning to accumulate energy, the power of age manifesting here, the vanished Mythical Era slowly unfolded, within this world between fantasy and reality, Tamur could directly unfold the illusion of the Mythical Era.
Watching the familiar environment slowly emerging, Agunas and Veronia were puzzled about what Tamur intended to accomplish, if it aimed to replicate the effects Veronia’s World of Mirrors previously brought, it was evidently unlikely.
It’s worth knowing the World of Mirrors previously had such potency precisely because it was the World of Mirrors at its peak.
As the precursor to the World’s Shadow, the authority mastered by the World of Mirrors was astonishingly high; had it not lost this authority, Veronia could potentially stand equal with Xilnais and the others.
Tamur evidently couldn’t achieve this, even if the era’s Divine Beasts were special, it certainly couldn’t reach such heights.
Although they didn’t understand, they didn’t interfere; after all, despite being somewhat a sham, Tamur was relatively reliable.
The shadow of the Mythical Era constantly expanded; however, unlike the World of Mirrors, its contact with the Giant Composite Entity didn’t aggressively erase it, instead, it manifested extraordinary transformations.
An illusory world just unfolded spontaneously, instantly swallowing the shadow of the Mythical Era and engulfing Agunas and the others.
"Where is this place?"
Qi Chen looked around surprised at the immense pillars filled with various distorted fleshy organs, overhead was a starry sky, auroras constantly changing colors, and the ground was covered with varicolored viscous fluids.
Could they have ventured into the stomach of the Giant Composite Entity?
Thinking thus, Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan hoping for an answer; unfortunately, Feng Yuan showed no intent to explain. The Death-Crossing Vessel gently descended as everyone fell onto relatively dry land of flesh and blood.
"This shouldn’t be the insides of that gigantic creature."
Qiu Hanmo from the Parallel World glanced around and said calmly; although this place looked rather strange, even resembling the giant composite entity, based on the structure of these objects, he could conclude this wasn’t the insides of a biological entity.
Or rather, this place was more akin to a transformed world; those gigantic pillars, rather than organs, are closer to towering trees or huge mountain rocks.
Qiu Hanmo also realized, after all, they visited transformed worlds before; it’s just that he didn’t expect Feng Yuan leading them to crash into the Giant Composite Entity would actually land them in a transformed world.
Thinking of something, he looked at Feng Yuan and asked
"Are we close to the core here?"
"Hmm, not exactly, it’s just that this area should be an indispensable place it’s unable to fully control."
Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan glanced around at the writhing organs and floating grievances within. These aggregations of chaotic thoughts from all beings are not easily dealt with, concerning both sides.
