The ice lts, at the cost of burning the underwater forest, blazing flas defying the conventional laws of nature manifest their mighty power in the depths of the water. However, after the ice thaws and snow lts, a chill persists that refuses to dissipate.
"It’s not over yet!"
Dou Yanlan said anxiously, scanning the surroundings. In her view, now that all the Mythological Moves have been used, there’s little left they can do. However, they haven’t passed through this final round of attacks safely yet...
The massive Sea God jellyfish drifted near them at so unknown ti, its enormous translucent body emitting a faint glow, both enchanting and overwhelmingly imposing.
Though it seed that the Sea God jellyfish could strike at any ti with its enormous tentacles, everyone knew this was impossible. The jellyfish’s final attack was a unique aura.
The flas gradually extinguished, and with their disappearance, bubbles and the massive Sea God jellyfish beca the only sources of light in the waters. Yet, at this mont, thick ice suddenly ford around once more.
Compared to before, the freezing speed this ti was incredibly quick, happening in the blink of an eye, even freezing the Sea God jellyfish in a block of crystal-clear ice.
At this mont, the Hao Chun Bird let out a loud cry, as if announcing the arrival of spring. The ice encroaching the edge of the bubble, poised to breach Xiao Ji’s "Air Shield," suddenly halted.
Flapping its wings from A Mu Tree Crown, the Hao Chun Bird continuously cried out as the lush green forest expanded once again. However, this ti the forest’s phantom changed, with roots too large to fully display erging continuously. Supported by these massive plant roots, many strange aquatic plants gradually appeared.
Watching these plants solidify, Feng Yuan frowned, saying,
"Is this a Forest Domain Awakening? Does this an the previous Domain Battlefield wasn’t their Mythological Move, planning to secure victory through a Domain Awakening?"
He hadn’t expected the Hao Chun Bird to devise such a plan. But, can the Forest Domain Awakening truly dispel the lingering chill?
Considering the Crystal Domain is not particularly large, even if the Hao Chun Bird clears the chill and freezing effect nearby, the broader frozen water cannot be so easily handled.
The Hao Chun Bird called to Ah Mu while flapping its wings to unleash an Ultimate Move. At the sa ti, Ah Mu also acted, spreading a powerful Wood Power around, green lights carrying a dense aura of life healing every creature indiscriminately.
Just as Feng Yuan was about to ask, the Forest Domain vanished rapidly once more, and at the sa ti, the green lights exploded like fireworks, scattering in all directions.
These green lights continued to burst into more green lights as they flew, instantly disappearing and erasing the respective frozen areas when passing through them.
Witnessing this, Feng Yuan understood their plan, and it seed to be working well.
The swiftly spreading green lights already exceeded the range of a normal Ultimate Move. Feng Yuan was unsurprised by this, as this move was evidently bolstered by the Domain Awakening. However, this empowernt was also the reason for the short duration of the Forest Domain Awakening.
Now enhanced by the domain, the Ultimate Move’s effect was extraordinary. In a short ti, this water area returned to its original state, and due to the lingering power, the area harbored significant natural force for a while. If it weren’t for Xiao Ji being a life-type Death-series Divine Beast, this environnt would be quite uncomfortable for him.
The Sea God jellyfish let out another giant roar, but compared to its previous deafening screams, its roar now was much gentler. It waved its enormous tentacle, and a sea-blue gemstone was hurled into the bubble.
Ah Mu caught the gemstone steadily, passing it to Qi Chen with a puzzled look. Within the gemstone, they could sense a strong water-type power. This gemstone likely enhanced the power of Water Attribute Spirit Beasts.
Handing the gemstone to Feng Yuan, Qi Chen had no reluctance. He and Dou Yanlan had no use for it, and the Spiritual dicine and Materials Feng Yuan secured for them earlier were enough for Qi Chen to forego such items.
Of course, Feng Yuan wasn’t particularly interested in this type of gemstone either, as he didn’t really need many of such items.
At this mont, azure light flashed, and everyone was transferred by a powerful force to a cavern filled with dripping stalactites.
The bubble vanished as Cotton wed and jumped into Dou Yanlan’s arms to cuddle. Feng Yuan chuckled and walked over to Xiao Ji, patting his head, saying,
"Not bad~ I didn’t expect you to grasp Crystal Field Awakening so quickly, but..."
He glanced inexplicably at the Hao Chun Bird perched on A Mu Tree Crown. Feng Yuan wasn’t sure whether to figure out the Domain Awakening now, especially with that special Domain Battlefield. What flaw made it have domain-like power similar to the Domain Awakening?
Understand that the Hao Chun Bird and Xiao Ji’s ability to use Domain Awakening isn’t just due to mastering this Ultimate Move. If they didn’t have the support of the Mythological Moves, they couldn’t have used it even if they learned it.
This is where Ah Mu has the advantage, as the Giant Tree Demon naturally belongs to a high-energy-capacity Spirit Beast. Together with Nainefar’s energy purification, the quality of its energy is enhanced, making its total energy significantly higher than Xiao Ji’s.
Feng Yuan could do nothing about this. Ordinarily, Xiao Ji’s energy should be slightly higher than Ah Mu’s. The racial differences cannot be entirely negated by being a Divine Beast. Xiao Ji is rely reaching its potential limit at its current stage.
However, with Nainefar’s power enhancing the quality of Ah Mu’s energy, its total energy exceeded the current stage’s limit, sothing Xiao Ji couldn’t match.
With few entities like Nainefar and none matching Xiao Ji’s attribute...
Xiao Ji naturally didn’t think about these matters. In terms of battle performance, Xiao Ji didn’t feel inferior to Ah Mu and, in so sense, felt superior.
However, with the ergence of the Crystal Domain, Feng Yuan realized that energy capacity impacts Spirit Beast strength to so extent. Yet, it isn’t just about capacity; it involves many factors and isn’t easily quantified.
With his hand on Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan had no intention to dampen Xiao Ji’s excitent, as Xiao Ji had done very well in this battle.
With the acquisition of the Water Gemstone, the map expanded to cover another area. Once unfolded, it automatically switched to a three-dinsional mode showing all paths, but none of the specific structures. Only the passable routes were marked with undulating flat roads.
Feng Yuan speculated that the map changed this way due to the labyrinthine nature of the water attribute area’s caves, and just from the web-like roads, Feng Yuan knew navigating that place wouldn’t be easy.
However...
Gazing at the gems, Feng Yuan felt sothing was amiss. Those areas’ key treasures had been secured, so the map’s clarity shouldn’t hinder them much.
"This is strange, what’s with the map? Unlocking the area map post-clearing is understandable, but what’s the point then?"
Muttering while pinching his chin, Feng Yuan said, and Dou Yanlan responded after so thought,
"Perhaps it’s for future preparations. Using the Earth Maze as a competition arena doesn’t necessarily an acquiring all treasures; it might be another kind of reward?"
"Tsk, is there really a difference between having or not having a map? It seems a bit...unfair. But getting the gemstones ans the map doesn’t matter much anyway."
Said Feng Yuan, waving his hand towards the others, asking,
"Shall we continue, or rest here for a bit? It’s quite cool here, and the space is ample."
While the environnt of other regions was unknown, this cavern was spacious. Based on the map, it was one of the few large halls in the water treasure area.
Perhaps the academy anticipated that if many participants passed the challenge, these hall-like caves could accommodate them. Otherwise, transferring many people in the flooded water region might cause chaos.
