Even though Feng Yuan knew that the Cal Mountain Tortoise might be the strongest among these three Domain Spirit Beasts, he was at a loss. There was no way Xiao Ji and the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound t the attribute requirents of the Cal Mountain Tortoise, so even if he wanted to try, there was nothing he could do. Of course, having Agunas co would work, but its Ultimate Move’s effect on ordinary Spirit Beasts was hard to discern.
"Feng Yuan, did you deal with the matter over there?"
Having heard Najia ntion sensing Veronia’s presence, Yang Hongzhi, who had just completed an assistance patrol mission and was getting ready to rest, walked over curiously.
Turning to Yang Hongzhi, Feng Yuan scratched his head and said regretfully,
"No, or it was forcibly terminated."
"Terminated investigation?"
Najia looked at Feng Yuan with confusion. This news hadn’t been widely spread, so Najia wasn’t aware of it, but it did know about Feng Yuan’s investigation of the Northern Snow Plain earlier.
What puzzled Najia was who could compel Feng Yuan to halt the investigation.
"Yes, by exchanging interests to have Him intervene and prohibit further pursuit, although it can indirectly prove that those people aren’t too harmful to the world."
Regardless of whether it was true, Feng Yuan could only think this way, as he couldn’t continue investigating those people now.
"What price... did they ultimately pay?"
Najia was stunned, realizing that getting Him to intervene wasn’t a trivial matter. Smiling, Feng Yuan glanced at the Ti Sand Spirit on his shoulder and said,
"The cost was to trouble all Spirit Beasts of the Mythical Era in exchange for a prohibition on the investigation. I rember, Yang Hongzhi, your Xiao Hui is an Earth Attribute Spirit Beast, right?"
"Yes, why?"
Yang Hongzhi didn’t quite understand why the topic suddenly shifted to him. Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan grinned mischievously and said,
"Well, since that’s the case, help test the domain effect of the Cal Mountain Tortoise~"
"Cal Mountain Tortoise? Can’t you test it yourself?"
Looking at Feng Yuan with confusion, Yang Hongzhi didn’t know what he was thinking. Shaking his head, Feng Yuan spread his hands and said,
"Impossible. Xiao Ji and the others don’t et the attribute requirents."
While saying this, Feng Yuan briefly explained the matter of Domain Spirit Beasts. After listening to his explanation, Najia finally understood what Feng Yuan ant by "troubling all Divine Beasts of the Mythical Era."
The effects of Domain Spirit Beasts, regardless of strength, would attract attention, naturally. However, whether anything could be done about it was another matter.
After all, the Divine Beasts of the Mythical Era weren’t to be trifled with. Compared to modern Divine Beasts, those from the Mythical Era, constantly in war, had combat power far superior to many Divine Beasts, on a completely different level.
"I see, I can give it a try."
After hearing Feng Yuan’s explanation and considering it wasn’t a big issue, Yang Hongzhi agreed, also curious about the Cal Mountain Tortoise’s domain effects.
Domain Spirit Beasts weren’t as averse as ordinary Spirit Beasts to making contracts with others, likely also because the Cal Mountain Tortoise hadn’t been with Feng Yuan for long.
This ti, it would again be Huo Feng acting as the opponent. Yang Hongzhi released both of his Beasts, seeing Huo Feng across from him, he shouted first,
"Xiao Hui! Thousand Peaks Festival!"
"Mind’s Eye Shield!"
Huo Feng didn’t expect Yang Hongzhi to launch a powerful offensive Ultimate Move right away, forcing him into defense.
Unlike Feng Yuan’s Xiao Ji and Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, Yang Hongzhi’s Beast Tar displayed greater prowess, which made the confrontation not as easy.
Sharp, lotus-like rock peaks blossod in all directions centered around Xiao Hui. The Thousand Peaks Festival, a powerful Earth System offensive Ultimate Move, dealt area damage and, when it hit, caused a secondary explosive damage after piercing.
At the sa ti, the Cal Mountain Tortoise’s domain activated, altering the Thousand Peaks Festival’s form. Not only did the speed of the sharp rock peaks significantly increase, but a large amount of tiny fragnts were also launched in synchronization, causing a chain explosion on the Stray Samurai Monkey unable to evade, inflicting significant damage.
"This enhancent is pretty decent."
Observing the transford Thousand Peaks Festival, Feng Yuan touched his chin and remarked. While no foundational change occurred, it rely increased the hit rate of the Thousand Peaks Festival.
If it was only like this, Feng Yuan felt it wasn’t worthy of much attention.
Yang Hongzhi had similar thoughts. The Thousand Peaks Festival was already powerful enough; an increased hit rate was beneficial but, compared to sothing like the Ti Sand Spirit, this transformation effect wasn’t too satisfying.
"Perhaps it’s reinforcent?"
Najia had a thought and reminded Yang Hongzhi, who narrowed his eyes looking at the Stray Samurai Monkey blasted away by the Thousand Peaks Festival.
"Let’s test it then."
"Xiao Hui! Rock Spear!"
The Earth System’s standard offensive Ultimate Move, Rock Spear, was quite diocre in terms of power and other attributes, only passing the basics. Yet, under the Cal Mountain Tortoise’s domain, the Rock Spear underwent a startling transformation.
Instead of a re spear made of solidified elents, the Rock Spear turned into a massive rock dragon, twisting its giant body to launch an attack on its enemy.
"Xiao Hui! Earth Barrier!"
Seeing the drastic change in the Rock Spear, Yang Hongzhi imdiately shouted. Xiao Hui interrupted the ongoing Rock Spear, gathering strength again, but this ti, the Ultimate Move beca a defensive Earth Barrier.
The original effect of the Earth Barrier was simply to raise a massive rock to block attacks from one direction. However, this ti, under the domain’s influence, the Earth Barrier also transford.
The entire Earth Barrier turned into a circular ring of rock, and the wall, which originally, due to being solid, affected friendly attacks, transford into a unique material allowing one-way penetration.
aning attacks from inside the barrier wouldn’t be stopped by the rock wall, while those from outside would hit the wall.
With additional runes on the rock wall, the Earth Barrier seed like a high-cost, powerful defensive Ultimate Move.
"This form change is quite artistic. Though the effect is limited on stronger Ultimate Moves, the smaller ones seem enhanced."
Watching the scene, Feng Yuan roughly gauged the domain effect of the Cal Mountain Tortoise. Undoubtedly, when restricted to specific attributes, its domain surpassed the Ti Sand Spirit, which rely boosted effect and power.
Even if enhancents for powerful Ultimate Moves were limited, for ordinary Spirit Beasts, powerful Ultimate Moves represented a heavy load and high consumption. If regular Ultimate Moves could achieve similar power and effects, they’d find it more beneficial than simply boosting powerful Ultimate Moves.
After all, battles don’t always end quickly. If they don’t end tily, continuously using high-cost Ultimate Moves could put them in an awkward situation with inadequate stamina and energy left to keep fighting.
Regular Ultimate Moves don’t have this issue; at least, based on Xiao Hui’s performance, even with a form change, the consumption remained unchanged.
Of course, this extra energy consumption wasn’t provided by the Cal Mountain Tortoise. Feng Yuan speculated it was supplented by environntal energy, furthermore involving the unique energy balance capability of Divine Beasts.
Otherwise, during Yang Hongzhi’s testing, the Ultimate Move’s form changes would have used up large amounts of Earth Attribute environntal energy, weakening subsequent changes.
However, the current presentation showed no weakening in power or effects despite the usage, maintaining a comprehensive power level consistently.
This likely utilized the Divine Beasts’ environntal energy adjustnt ability, according to Feng Yuan. All Divine Beasts possessed this ability to use Authority power to adjust or stabilize an area’s free energy through forced conversion.
After being executed, the free energy didn’t just evaporate but transford into dormant energy, waiting for natural recovery through complex conversion.
Divine Beasts could accelerate this process or draw significant amounts of free energy from other regions to replenish it.
"Indeed, Domain Spirit Beasts bound to specific attributes have the best effects, what a pity."
Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said regretfully, other attributes aside, when it ca to the Death Series...
Even in the Mythical Era, let alone modern days, Xiao Ji was the lone Death-series Divine Beast. Thus, a Death-series Domain Spirit Beast was impossible.
As for Ghost Series?
From what Feng Yuan could recall, the Mythical Era had no Ghost-type Divine Beasts, suggesting that Domain Spirit Beasts offered little benefit to Xiao Ji.
