Chapter 2485: Chapter 2486: Fierce Battle
Just when Qiu Hanmo was about to abandon the idea, Yang Hongzhi became intrigued, mainly because the temple thing sounded quite special.
"Hey, Feng Yuan, what exactly is the temple system? Have we had this in our history?"
"Well, to be exact, it should be Divine Enthronement, like Yu Xian’er of Maomu City is a product of deification. It’s about granting a human being the title of a city-protecting Divine Beast. However, even back then, there wasn’t a rampant deification, let alone now. Besides, I don’t believe that thing is something humans today could possess."
Regarding that topic, Feng Yuan was reluctant to make it too clear to avoid accidentally leaking information that could cause bigger troubles. Compared to the Anti-Divine Beast Rune, that thing was obviously far more dangerous.
Scratching his head, Yang Hongzhi was still somewhat confused, while Qiu Hanmo seemed to guess why Feng Yuan avoided discussing this matter. He cleared his throat and said.
"I understand your point. Divine Enthronement can bestow Spirit Beasts with a special identity, allowing them to have power close to Divine Beasts. But this relies on a special tool. That tool wasn’t originally intended for such use, right? If it’s known to the world, it would cause massive trouble?"
"Pretty much. While some people know about it, they probably don’t understand its true purpose. However, it doesn’t matter. If you want deification, that thing is unavoidable. Currently, Agunas manages it, and I doubt it will let humans use it."
Spreading his hands, Feng Yuan acted as if the matter didn’t concern him, and after a pause, Qiu Hanmo said.
"Understood. We heard nothing; it’s best to forget this once we get back."
Saying this, Qiu Hanmo turned and signaled to Yang Hongzhi. Seeing Qiu Hanmo’s serious demeanor, the others shivered within, knowing from their long time battling together that he was warning them.
"Ahaha, uh, Feng Yuan, do you want to join us for lunch? It’s lunchtime now. Although it might not be that delicious, it should be enough to fill the stomach."
Scratching his head, Yang Hongzhi awkwardly and hurriedly changed the topic. After some thought, Feng Yuan said.
"Sure, but is it okay? The lunch here is probably on a fixed amount, right?"
"Not really. There’s a temporary canteen here. It’s possible that the good dishes might be gone if we’re late. But we can wait, as they keep refilling the dishes. After all, there are many on patrol here, and they can’t be left hungry."
Shaking his head slightly, Yang Hongzhi said. As Lian Tang Town is quite important and unlike Cha Mu Town, many Beastmasters are patrolling here for safety.
On the contrary, Cha Mu Town doesn’t need too many people from Maomu City, as that place has Yognot. They don’t lack top combat power, and the town itself focuses on nurturing its Beastmasters, so the local Beastmasters can fend off threats themselves, requiring only partial support from Maomu City to pass safely.
"I see. By the way you’re saying, Maomu City should be considered relatively relaxed among ordinary cities, right?"
Nodding as if following the flow, Feng Yuan casually said, mainly because Maomu City’s surrounding towns, such as Cha Mu Town and Kui Shan Town, don’t require much attention from Maomu City. Compared to other cities, the pressure is naturally much less.
"Yeah, that’s true. I’ve heard that the city is considering whether to allocate surplus combat power to help surrounding cities. However, the matter is still under debate without a result."
Yang Hongzhi casually replied to Feng Yuan’s inquiry. He had heard about this, owing to Najia’s connection, making him one of the few high-end combat forces in Maomu City. Naturally, they needed to consult him about such matters.
As for why Feng Yuan was unaware, it’s entirely because Maomu City never considered him; they knew his situation well unless he himself took the initiative, persuading him to help might not be easy, plus, they had personal interests.
However one puts it, Feng Yuan’s strength is evident, staying in Maomu City gives them more confidence when facing danger.
"Hmm, at this time they are unwilling to weaken their combat power, which is also understandable."
Stroking his chin, Feng Yuan understood why there would be debate or, to put it another way, if this matter passed quickly, he would instead suspect if something were wrong.
"Hmm, it seems lunch will be delayed."
Gently raising her head, Veronia said with a wave of her small hand, as the Crystal Shine Dragon appeared out of thin air. Standing up on Yang Hongzhi’s shoulder, Najia warned cautiously.
"Be careful, hostile forces are emerging!"
"Hmm, Twisted Beimode? They do have a lot of runes."
Summoning the Black Scythe with a wave of his hand, Feng Yuan said while looking towards Veronia. Beimode’s runes aren’t something Yang Hongzhi and the others could contend with; however, why did it appear here?
Could it be that the Imperial People have already found their footing amidst the chaos?
Unable to figure it out, Feng Yuan didn’t bother pondering so much. Anyway, the most important thing now is to resolve that matter first.
In Kui Shan Town, An’s eyes flickered as he watched the massive phantom appearing out of nowhere. This thing was quite strong, and if it were the Beastmasters, it might be difficult for them to resist.
However, for him, it wasn’t daunting. He was somewhat puzzled; was this place worth their efforts?
The question in his mind did not affect the speed of his actions. Before the Twisted Beimode’s phantom fully condensed, a multitude of black chains shot out from a pillar of light, ignoring the energy body’s characteristic of the phantom, forcefully binding it.
Under the astonished eyes of the person in white robes, the black chains dragged everything that didn’t belong to this dimension towards the pillar of light. Even though they didn’t know its function, the intuition of the white-robed person was frantically warning that the place was extremely dangerous.
The black chains defied logic, binding everything not from this dimension, even conceptual existences couldn’t escape their grasp. The Twisted Beimode’s phantom was first dragged to the black pillar of light, and at that very moment of contact, the phantom shattered to dust like a glass sculpture being smashed.
Even the Anti-Divine Beast Rune that summoned the phantom simultaneously crumbled and scattered away.
"Using it on the enemy, it surely feels right."
Looking at the Imperial Timeline objects being obliterated by the pillar of light, An calmly remarked.
"You should stay away from the Bemod phantom; it’s not something you can handle."
Stopping Yang Hongzhi and the others from rushing forward to assist, Feng Yuan squinted his eyes, staring fixedly at the massive phantom which was continuously solidifying. He quickly realized that it was layering runes.
With a wave of his hand, a jet-black Ancient Book appeared before Feng Yuan. The book automatically flipped open, and the pages turned slowly, gathering a special power in the void. Feng Yuan had no intention of advancing.
To deal with the Bemod phantom, ordinary means were useless. Even Xiao Ji’s Divine Beast Technique might not be effective, as the phantom had already reached the third layer of runes in just a moment.
"Notify the others not to approach that place."
Qiu Hanmo directly instructed the captain. Due to Feng Yuan’s presence, they didn’t go forward, but they were not the only ones here. The protection team in the entire Lian Tang Town was not small.
Since Feng Yuan warned them not to approach, others probably lacked the strength to oppose this thing as well.
The Crystal Shine Dragon roared, launching an attack on the Bemod phantom. A mysterious power imbued the Crystal Shine Dragon, and the phantom, which should have had strong resistance, was easily torn apart like a fragile bubble.
Veronia didn’t expect her attack to have such a great effect. No, to be precise, it was the effect of that power. Had Feng Yuan taken action?
In an instant, Veronia realized what happened. The phantom did not collapse due to the strike. After being torn apart, it reappeared, but this time, the Bemod phantom’s momentum dropped significantly.
Even with the enhancement, it can only destroy one layer of rune at a time?
Murmuring silently to himself, Feng Yuan didn’t continue to attack. Veronia and Tamur were already at the front fighting the enemy, so doing anything might be inappropriate.
If he attacked, the force would exceed control to eliminate the Bemod phantom. That thing was too close to Veronia and them, so accidentally brushing against them wouldn’t be good.
As for applying power, the previous boost should suffice. However, watching the Bemod phantom solidify again, Feng Yuan had some doubts about how many runes those people actually brought along.
