Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1958 - 1959: Ideas
The appearance of the domain completely disrupted the plans of Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan. Naturally, Qi Chen’s second beast companion is very likely to be the Hao Chun Bird. After all, besides the fact that the Hao Chun Bird can directly open the Forest Domain, even in terms of team composition, the Hao Chun Bird is incredibly well-suited for Qi Chen.
Due to Feng Yuan obtaining a trace of power from Nainefar for Ah Mu, Ah Mu can be considered as the main beast companion. In this way, other beast companions are basically arranged around Ah Mu.
Certainly, it isn’t impossible to follow Feng Yuan’s example and act without coordination and just go wild. The advantage is that it’s difficult to be specifically targeted. After all, as long as the main beast companions are well-trained, targeting them won’t be easy. The downside is, without coordination, the upper limit of power entirely depends on the beast companions themselves.
Feng Yuan doesn’t care about this because he doesn’t need to rely on beast companions for battles. Most of the time, Xiao Ji just hangs around without contributing much to the fight.
Initially, Dou Yanlan wanted a beast companion skilled in defense and healing. However, upon learning about the effects of the Mystic Series Black and White Mist Domain, she couldn’t help but have some special thoughts.
"Hmm, haven’t found a suitable one yet? Aren’t you going to stay a bit longer?"
Stretching lazily, Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan. Although they wandered around nearby later, Dou Yanlan temporarily raised the standards for a second beast companion due to the new idea.
Feng Yuan noticed this but didn’t say anything. Unlike Qi Chen, Dou Yanlan doesn’t need reminders from him; even if she occasionally gets fixated, Qi Chen would persuade her.
Glancing at Feng Yuan, Dou Yanlan shook her head and said,
"I want to test how much impact the domain will have on future battles."
"Then let’s go to that construction site. The environment there is better suited for testing."
After thinking for a moment, Feng Yuan suggested. It’s not that testing can’t be done on battle grounds. However, the environment of battle grounds requires the help of Spirit Beasts to create and restore. Besides, the rental fees for those special environment battle grounds are expensive, and just the reservation process can be troublesome.
After all, those battle grounds with special environments are usually privately owned. Feng Yuan’s special identification doesn’t carry much weight in such places.
Since it’s just a temporary test of the domain effects, there’s really no need to go to such places.
After making a call to Liao Yu to help get in touch with the construction site, Feng Yuan went with Qi Chen and the others to a construction site in the southern suburbs of Maomu City.
At this time, the land here has been leveled. The original buildings became ruins, and the green plants have long been relocated. Looking at this ruined scene, Feng Yuan said,
"This place is quite suitable for testing, but is it really necessary to stop their construction?"
There’s no choice; this construction site seems to be prepared for Liantang Town’s specialty town land. However, now all the workers and Spirit Beasts here have already left.
Looking at Feng Yuan, Liao Yu said,
"It’s not entirely because of you. The main reason is the domain matter. Since we know about it, of course, we need to understand it. Anyway, this is an official project of Maomu City. Even if paused, it won’t have any impact, and it’s just right for testing."
Long Boduo looked curiously at the ruins and said,
"I wonder what effects the Underworld Domain will have."
"You’ll find out soon when we test it. Don’t you know?"
Feng Yuan said, looking somewhat puzzled at Long Boduo. They encountered Long Boduo on their way back, and Feng Yuan didn’t expect him to have found the Underworld Crystal so soon, and even had a Black Mist Crystal.
To be honest, Feng Yuan isn’t quite sure why the Mystic Series Domain Crystal is found in the Netherworld. That place doesn’t seem suited for that item.
Long Boduo glanced at Feng Yuan helplessly and said,
"The Underworld Crystal only exists in the Netherworld. They haven’t come inside, and we can’t test it in the Netherworld."
Currently, the effect tested by their group of Divine Beasts is less of an amplification and more like a special environment ultimate move. Changing the environment to the Underworld within the Netherworld has almost no meaning or effect, just like opening the Forest Domain in a forest.
"By the way, can Xiao Ji open the Underworld Domain?"
Thinking of something, Feng Yuan looked at Xiao Ji with some curiosity. Although theoretically, some excellent Good Level Spirit Beasts are already qualified to use Domain Crystals, this is newly discovered and isn’t in the sequence of Spirit Beast heritage.
That means, even though they are Divine Beasts, they need to first attempt to learn how to resonate with the crystals to activate the domain.
Certainly, given their Divine Beast Level strength, this won’t take much time. But Xiao Ji is different; although Xiao Ji also belongs to a Divine Beast, its strength isn’t up to standard, making it less easy to master these unfamiliar abilities.
"I can do it."
Long Boduo took out an Underworld Crystal and said, though he can directly open the Underworld Domain himself, he isn’t sure if the Underworld Domain he opens is significantly different from a normal Underworld Domain.
Xiao Ji protested unhappily and kept chirping at Long Boduo as if trying to say something. Veronia glanced at Long Boduo and said,
"It’s trying to learn how to use the Underworld Crystal from you~"
With a proud smile, Long Boduo stepped forward, holding the Underworld Crystal, explaining to Xiao Ji while using the Underworld Domain.
As the Underworld Crystal emitted an unusual glow, the ruins instantly took on a creepy atmosphere. The phantoms of bizarre trees found only in the Netherworld emerged, and everyone within the domain noticed changes happening in this Underworld.
The free natural energy transformed, with Death Series and Ghost Series energies significantly increasing, while energies like the Life Series, which oppose Ghost Series and Death Series, decreased substantially.
The direct result is changes in the power of ultimate moves; here, the power of Life Series moves drastically weakened, and even Wood Element moves were affected.
In contrast, the power of Death Series and Ghost Series moves received environmental enhancement and improved significantly. Besides this, since Long Boduo is a Ghost-type Divine Beast, it can’t detect the specifics, but Feng Yuan and the others sensed that all life forms in this Underworld were affected by a special effect.
Even Xiao Ji, could only counteract the drawbacks by relying on the authority of the Death-series Divine Beast.
Looking at Ah Mu, Feng Yuan noticed the green leaves on its treetop were wilting and, after rubbing his chin, said,
"Is the extra effect of the Underworld Domain suppressing life abilities? But this domain targets indiscriminately, tsk, the side effect is quite apparent."
"It’s not just that; it seems to have a slow healing effect too."
Pointing at Xiao Ji, Veronia said. Although Xiao Ji’s authority counteracted part of the Underworld Domain’s effects, its spirited appearance and the spots of light surrounding its feathers clearly indicated the Underworld Domain also had other effects.
Thinking of something, Feng Yuan looked at Ah Mu and said,
"So, when the Forest Domain is commonly used, it should suppress Xiao Ji, right?"
Though it wasn’t obvious when Yimu Qingling opened the Forest Domain, given the effects of the Underworld Domain, this situation should occur too.
After considering, Feng Yuan didn’t ask Long Boduo to remove the Underworld Domain but instead walked up to Ah Mu and asked,
"Can you use the Forest Domain?"
Ah Mu made a questioning sound, gently shook its treetop, and couldn’t quite understand what Feng Yuan intended to do. Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and, with helplessness, said,
"Even though Long Boduo used the Underworld Crystal to open the Underworld Domain, expecting Ah Mu to break through the Underworld Domain opened by Long Boduo is somewhat..."
"Just try it. If priority is influenced by the Spirit Beast, this domain is intriguing. If not, then there’s something to explore~"
With a smile, Feng Yuan said. If the priority is linked to strength, domains opened by high-level Spirit Beasts cannot be broken by lower-level ones. However, if it’s not linked...
Could there be a situation where domains are contested against each other?
"Ah Mu isn’t familiar with the Forest Domain, and you might end up disappointed."
Glancing at Feng Yuan, who seemed eager to stir up trouble, Veronia said airily. Feng Yuan remained indifferent, chuckling and continually persuading Ah Mu to act. Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with speechlessness and said,
"What effect could this testing have?"
"If Ah Mu, unfamiliar with the Forest Domain, can break through the Underworld Domain of Long Boduo, then it would mean that during a beast companion tournament, there could be domain contests between each other, heh-heh, now that would be fun~"
Glancing at Long Boduo, Feng Yuan said with a strange smile.
