Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1887 - 1888: Reaching the Finish Line

As time passed, the octopus’s attacks became more frequent, and even a second and third octopus joined in. Fortunately, Najia and Veronia were incredibly powerful, allowing them to leap across broken paths just as forcibly as Feng Yuan.

When the fourth octopus joined, the environment changed yet again. This time, all four octopuses retreated, and a colossal pink whale emerged from the sea. It gazed at Feng Yuan and his companions with disdain, and with a single whale song, the calm ocean surged into massive waves that began pounding toward the track.

"Tsk! Xiao Ji, do you want to return to the Spirit Beast Space?"

Noticing the change, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but ask Xiao Ji again. At this moment, it wasn’t just a minor matter. Judging by the situation, there might even be an underwater track, and Feng Yuan was uncertain about Xiao Ji’s condition then.

Hesitating briefly, Xiao Ji let out a cry and stubbornly refused. Though... a bit annoying, it believed it could overcome this flaw!

Though he intended to forcibly put Xiao Ji back into the Spirit Beast Space, seeing its insistence, Feng Yuan ultimately gave up. If worst comes to worst, he could return it when it can’t hold up any longer.

The waves steadily battered the track, and because of the accumulated water, Feng Yuan and the others had to use techniques to ensure their karts wouldn’t slip off due to the wet surface.

"Is the relic sinking, or is the sea level rising?"

Noticing the abnormal water levels around them, Veronia murmured softly. Of course, she wasn’t sure about the exact situation, as the differences between these two possibilities couldn’t be discerned on the vast ocean. She looked toward Xiao Ji standing at the specialized position behind the kart, puzzled as to why Feng Yuan hadn’t put Xiao Ji back. Was he planning to bully Xiao Ji again?

Enormous waves continued to engulf the track, and as the water level gradually rose, the track finally matched the sea level and even started to immerse under the sea.

"As expected, Xiao Ji, are you sure you’re okay?"

Seeing the speed slowly decline, Feng Yuan sighed helplessly and said, Xiao Ji let out a cry and used its Wind Attribute’s abilities to bestow a water-breathing Ultimate Move to both itself and Feng Yuan. Shaking his head, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Alright then, just be careful later. If you can’t hold up, just call out."

As the track was gradually submerged in the ocean, the kart’s speed slowed down. Similar to the previous space section, the track here greatly affected speed. For some reason, this body of water had a powerful buoyancy, and if Feng Yuan hadn’t used Xiao Ji’s power to forcefully press the kart onto the track, it might have floated off entirely.

Who would’ve thought NPCs could cheat?

Noticing a nearby NPC-driven kart using the buoyancy to rush off the track into the distance, Feng Yuan’s gaze hardened. He didn’t think it was an issue with the opponent’s driving. Unlike the space section, there were no obstacles here, leading Feng Yuan to think they were cutting corners.

Though this method wasn’t restricted to anyone, they were unaware of the terrain of this track; rushing recklessly off the track would only lead them astray. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Xiao Ji naturally noticed the peculiar actions of the kart as well. Feeling Feng Yuan’s dissatisfaction, Xiao Ji attempted to unleash an Ultimate Move. However, the Death Storm transformed instantly in the ocean, its strong winds disrupting the water flow and drawing a vast area into the chaos, even affecting Feng Yuan and the others.

The turbulent water flow sliced through the kart that had gone off the track like a blade, leaving Feng Yuan in a tight spot due to Xiao Ji’s move, forcing him to harness Xiao Ji’s power to stabilize the kart and prevent it from being dragged off the track.

Yang Hong Zhi looked ahead in confusion; he didn’t understand why Feng Yuan instructed Xiao Ji to do this. Wasn’t he aware that using wind-based Ultimate Moves in water could easily lead to all sorts of unknown troubles?

Thankfully, Xiao Ji’s Death Storm didn’t last long, so the group wasn’t significantly affected. However, even with Xiao Ji’s intervention, NPCs still appeared trying to sneak through shortcuts. This time, Veronia and they noticed these scheming individuals, making it impossible for them to succeed.

For a while, the entire ocean track became a stage for showcasing Ultimate Moves. Although NPCs couldn’t use Ultimate Moves to defend or counterattack, the items collected along the way still posed significant trouble for Feng Yuan and his crew.

Seeing the NPCs blatantly cheating, Feng Yuan decided not to hold back. Although they couldn’t directly fly off the track because they didn’t know the way, this didn’t mean they couldn’t forcefully fly off the track and ignore the series of tight turns.

Though even then, the amount of time saved was extremely limited. While Feng Yuan hesitated about whether to do something drastic to the surroundings, a massive whale appeared around them, swallowing all the NPCs that had strayed from the track without any hesitation. Witnessing this, Feng Yuan was puzzled.

In his perspective, the group of NPCs and the whale seemed to be on the same side; why were they suddenly at war with each other?

Though he found it strange, he didn’t overthink it. Since the NPCs couldn’t use their tricks anymore, he naturally had to quicken his pace to leave this section.

The ancient relic submerged in the seabed and that light path seemed endless. After the whale came the appearance of shark groups in this area, targeting the karts speeding along the track, unlike the whale focused on straying NPCs.

The appearance of the shark group forced Xiao Ji and them to use Ultimate Moves again. This time, due to the proximity of the Ultimate Move to the track, even with restraint, it severely impacted all vehicles on the track.

Is the water flow unusual?

Feng Yuan, focused on maintaining high speeds amid the chaos, suddenly noticed changes in the surrounding water flow. Despite the chaotic water flow caused by Xiao Ji’s attacks, he still detected the faint convergence of water toward a certain direction.

Could it be that the track is about to shift again?

Thinking this, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but feel excited, as the underwater track was too troublesome. If it continued, he genuinely wouldn’t know what new enemies might appear.

At the end of the underwater track, a colossal Space Gate was devouring the seawater from this sea area. As the vehicles approached, its strong suction accelerated the vehicles beyond their normal limits.

Veronia and Najia became vigilant; they weren’t sure what was on the other side of the Space Gate, but for such a massive Space Gate to continuously draw seawater from this area, what lay beyond was certainly no simple matter.

Unfortunately, their suspicions were unfounded. After passing through the Space Gate, as long as no reckless steering occurred, the vehicles steadily landed on the floating corridor spanning the Abyss. Below, at the Abyss’s depths lay another Space Gate, allowing everyone to infer it was a passage for returning the sea water to that section of the ocean.

Seeing the scenery ahead revert to the starting point’s urban buildings, Feng Yuan exhaled and said,

"Seems like we’ve reached the end~"

Busy shaking himself dry, Xiao Ji turned his head curiously upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, looking to the track ahead. For some reason, upon seeing those familiar city scenes, Xiao Ji actually felt relieved.

Though he had bravely resisted entering the Spirit Beast Space earlier, the feeling in that ocean was truly uncomfortable.

"Is there an ambush here too?"

Noticing the finish line ahead, along with the NPC-installed scaffolding beside it, Feng Yuan squinted his eyes. Before the NPC appeared, he forcefully smashed the scaffolding using Xiao Ji’s power.

According to the established rules, the NPC didn’t stop because the scaffolding was destroyed. However, missing a section of scaffolding left the NPC unable to enter the track, leading it to plunge directly into the construction site outside the track.

"Really sly."

Being nearby, Yang Hong Zhi and the others witnessed the scene as well. Veronia murmured, summoning Crystal Rose to block everything around.

As Feng Yuan crossed the finish line first, fireworks burst into the sky, and a key fragment with a kart emblem gently descended from above.

"Thankfully, at least we don’t have to go through it again. But my clothes got soaked."

Picking up the key fragment and observing his water-dampened clothes, Feng Yuan sighed helplessly.
