Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 2098 - 2099: Decisive Strike
Because there were only at most two battles left, Xiao Ji and the others decided not to hold back any longer. Considering that the Round Moon Forest Domain had already been exposed, using it again might not achieve the element of surprise. Thus, at Xiao Ji’s request, Feng Yuan replaced it with the Underworld Domain Crystal Stone.
Compared to the Round Moon Forest Domain, the Underworld Domain could only cover Xiao Ji. Of course, it also provided some enhancement for Cotton’s Death Series ultimate moves, but the enhancement was limited.
However, unlike a long-term state boost, the Underworld Domain could perform a Domain Awakening, unleashing incredibly powerful forces in a short period.
Feng Yuan had no doubts about their opponent’s strength. If a war of attrition ensued, they would certainly be the ones to fail in the end.
For this reason, Feng Yuan agreed to Xiao Ji’s request to switch the Domain Crystal.
The final result was not surprising. In this confrontation, the opponents were clearly very wary of the Round Moon Forest Domain. Not only did they forcefully establish a Crystal Stone Domain at the very beginning, but they also kept a close watch on Xiao Ji to prevent it from deploying the Round Moon Forest Domain.
"Tch, how vile."
Watching as Xiao Ji continuously changed positions in the air, with a Spirit Fox Spirit Beast chasing closely, Feng Yuan looked at Dou Yanlan with a peculiar expression.
Letting Xiao Ji distract the opponent was her idea, as the opponents clearly believed that Feng Yuan would continue the previous strategy—letting Xiao Ji deploy the Round Moon Forest Domain and rapidly boosting their status thereafter. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Unfortunately, they didn’t know this time Feng Yuan had changed the Domain Crystal, and what they were worried about didn’t actually exist.
Or rather, what they should be worried about was Xiao Ji turning the tide with a single move after performing the Domain Awakening.
"Ah Mu! Wrath of the Forest Spirit: Forest! Hao Chun Bird! Prayer Soil!"
"Cotton, Psychic Barrier! Xing Bo, perform Prayer of the Stars on Ah Mu!"
"Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, Blazing Dragon Twister, Xiao Ji... you first look for an opportunity to deploy the smallest domain."
The three of them ordered separately. Feng Yuan hesitated for a moment but still decided to order Xiao Ji to find an opportunity to deploy the Underworld Domain.
He believed that, given Xiao Ji’s current flying altitude, if the Underworld Domain suppressed the area, the opponents might not have the chance to overwiden the Crystal Stone Domain Xiao Ji opened.
Moreover, this was also a trap. If the opponents did not realize their true intentions, the consequences could be unpredictable.
Of course, Feng Yuan assessed that the likelihood of the opponents recognizing the trap was not high, mainly because... Xiao Ji was just too unique.
"Don’t let it successfully deploy a domain! Green Bee! Assist it in catching up with that eagle!"
Due to Feng Yuan deliberately hiding key information, the opponents were misled into believing Xiao Ji intended to deploy the Round Moon Forest Domain. Thus, they decided that even if it was difficult, they had to drive the eagle into high altitudes, as this was the only way their Crystal Stone Domain’s influence could be minimized.
"Keep an eye on that eagle; everyone else, launch a full-scale attack!"
The opponents understood the principle of holding for a long time and eventually falling, and hence, they did not plan on prolonging the fight with Feng Yuan and his team. However, as Cotton’s status boosts applied to Ah Mu and activated Wrath of the Forest Spirit: Forest, the rapidly growing trees became obstacles they could not ignore.
If they forcibly ignored the crazily growing trees, Ah Mu could animate them at any time, leading to a situation where they would face a horde of attacking tree men.
However, the disparity in strength between the two sides was apparent. Even though a few Beastmasters were forced to chase Xiao Ji, their main forces were still focused on Ah Mu.
Because in previous battles, Xiao Ji’s performance was not much stronger than Ah Mu’s. Although there was a threat of Multiple Crimson Judgment, compared to Ah Mu, the possibility of Multiple Crimson Judgment hitting them was much lower.
Indeed, when the opponents previously used that move, it nearly shattered the area, making them believe that perhaps this team would not resort to such a terrifying tactic again.
Maybe because one of their main Beastmasters was attracted by Xiao Ji, their beasts and Ah Mu’s team were in a stalemate. Although Ah Mu slightly fell behind, they weren’t quickly defeated.
"We’ve been tricked!"
"Focus all fire on the Giant Tree Demon!"
With both sides continuously making moves, Xiao Ji eventually found an opportunity to deploy the Underworld Domain in the air. With the arrival of the netherworld, Feng Yuan’s opponents turned pale and immediately recalled their beasts to cover the Underworld Domain before preparing to focus on Ah Mu.
In the sky, Xiao Ji once again opened the Underworld Domain. However, during the time it was re-deploying the domain, Ah Mu was already in crisis due to the returning beasts and those beasts attacking while guarding against Xiao Ji in full force.
At the same time, they took the opportunity to launch direct attacks on the Beastmasters.
Unfortunately, this tactic didn’t have much effect on Feng Yuan’s team.
Feng Yuan himself, of course, was unaffected. This team alone couldn’t break through his defenses. Qi Chen directly borrowed strength from Hao Chun Bird, and since Hao Chun Bird and Xing Bo were mainly responsible for boosting states and disrupting enemies, they could lend substantial strength.
Lending Hao Chun Bird and Xing Bo’s power, Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan had no trouble fending off casual attacks from the opponents.
"No, if we continue like this, we’re definitely going to lose."
Dou Yanlan said, looking up at Xiao Ji within the Underworld Domain. Although at that moment Xiao Ji was launching attacks on the opponent’s beasts by leveraging the domain, Xiao Ji’s strength was ultimately only at a Good Level. If the opponents chose to endure Xiao Ji’s attacks to forcibly defeat Ah Mu’s team, Xiao Ji wouldn’t be able to stop them.
"Then should we... let Xiao Ji act?"
Feng Yuan’s lips slightly curled as he confirmed with Dou Yanlan. Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan had no hesitation in agreeing. Although the Underworld Domain Awakening was strong, it was Xiao Ji’s own power. There was nothing wrong with letting a teammate lead them to victory using their power.
Of course, Feng Yuan was an exception, because everyone knew Feng Yuan’s strength. If Feng Yuan himself acted, it would inevitably feel like bullying the weak.
Upon receiving Feng Yuan’s command, Xiao Ji let out a long cry and began the final preparations.
Since Xiao Ji was high up, Feng Yuan’s opponents noticed something was wrong but did not try to stop it immediately. After all, they never expected something so outrageous to happen.
As the nether mist in the sky, the Floating Stones, and the plants climbing on them gradually solidified, they suddenly had a chilling suspicion.
That eagle-shaped beastmaster at only a Good Level could actually master and use Domain Awakening!
Xiao Ji didn’t give them much time to be surprised. With the activation of the Domain Awakening, Xiao Ji flapped its wings, stirring up the Netherworld Wind.
This time, Xiao Ji chose to strengthen a single ultimate move with the Domain Awakening, aiming to defeat the enemy in one strike.
Although they recognized Xiao Ji had used Domain Awakening, research on Domain Awakening being difficult had led them to underestimate its effect, which turned out to be not much less powerful than Multiple Crimson Judgment.
With the advent of the legendary-level Netherworld Wind, they realized the magnitude of their mistake.
In the referee’s stand, several judges slammed the table in shock and stood up, their eyes fixed on the Netherworld Wind crashing towards the ground.
They naturally knew about Domain Awakening, but because so few Spirit Beasts could master and use it, there hadn’t been much research on it.
This led to a lack of understanding of its terrifying nature, though they knew the power of the Netherworld Wind bolstered by the Underworld Domain Awakening.
"That Spirit Beast is truly astonishing."
"Rather than astonished, I’d say revealing such a unique trait might not be a wise choice."
"Are you worried those people will target his Spirit Beast?"
"What else? Being able to perform a Domain Awakening at a Good Level, do you think those people will let it go?"
"Heh, as long as those people aren’t foolish, they won’t provoke him. Remember, he has three Divine Beasts protecting him."
Feng Yuan didn’t hear the referees’ debate, and even if he did know, he wouldn’t care. Yes, he dared to let Xiao Ji do this, so naturally, he wasn’t afraid those people would have ill-intentions toward Xiao Ji.
Compared to before, Xiao Ji’s strength was not weak. Even if he didn’t take action, those illegal organizations would find it challenging to capture Xiao Ji.
Moreover, the fact that Agunas and the others were by Feng Yuan’s side wasn’t a secret. Given Estir’s previous assault on the Alliance headquarters, Feng Yuan doubted anyone foolish would provoke him right now.
As for those unaware of Feng Yuan’s background?
Those people weren’t strong enough; if they attempted a sneak attack on Xiao Ji, the outcome would be uncertain since, during such times, Xiao Ji wouldn’t hold back.
