Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1963 - 1964: A New Discovery

"Perhaps the Spatial Domain Crystals can emerge anywhere~ However, the appearance of these suggests that Domain Crystals didn’t exist before and were only recently born."

Veronia chuckled lightly, looking at Feng Yuan and stroking her chin. Feng Yuan thought for a moment, nodded, and said,

"That seems likely, but if they have only recently been born, they’ll definitely have a lot of work ahead."

If they had existed before, it might have been possible to analyze their distribution through past mining reports, but now it seems new Domain Crystals have emerged globally, which complicates matters.

At least Feng Yuan was sure that the heap of Spatial Domain Crystals under the main gate of Maomu Academy wasn’t some kind of mineral that automatically transformed into Spatial Domain Crystals after new rules emerged.

Because the academy had already dug below the cement layer into the soil beneath, and here, there were no signs of the vein being interrupted; it continued downward normally.

"Looks like each city will be quite busy next."

Feng Yuan said with a wry smile, helplessly, because given the current situation, Domain Crystals could possibly emerge anywhere, and naturally, someone will think of checking beneath the city’s grounds.

He hoped they could soon develop devices to detect the underground distribution of Domain Crystals; otherwise, the situation could get quite amusing for some time.

"By the way, do Spatial Domain Crystals interfere with Space Gates even without activating a domain?"

Feng Yuan asked a little puzzled, as his knowledge of Domain Crystals wasn’t much more extensive than that of the Divine Beasts. Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"It should be said that mineral veins with spatial attributes behave this way, as they’re materials that can mobilize spatial energy. But it does make me quite curious about what a Spatial Domain really looks like."

Veronia said, picking up a light blue crystal from the excavated soil,

"Shall we give it a try back home?"

"Sure."

Glancing at the academy leaders discussing countermeasures, Feng Yuan commented. Now that it was confirmed that the Space Gate explosion was caused by the Domain Crystal, the academy definitely wouldn’t keep these Spatial Domain Crystals.

Even if the crystal vein can grow on its own, it can’t remain, especially since it’s at the academy’s entrance, posing a safety risk.

But figuring out how to dig them out might be quite a headache, as no one knows the extent of the Spatial Domain Crystal vein. If it affects other areas, it might not be easily resolved. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The commotion at the school gate attracted many onlooking students. Still, some recognized Feng Yuan, noticing that he didn’t stay to watch the excitement but instead left the scene, making some people more curious about what Feng Yuan intended to do.

In the wasteland temporarily designated by the academy, where one could experiment with not-so-powerful ultimate moves, the land had become pockmarked from being bombarded by various ultimate moves.

Feng Yuan didn’t mind this, as the Crystal Domain didn’t concern itself with the environment... or rather, how the environment appeared on the surface.

To be honest, the more he studied, the more Feng Yuan realized the complexity of the Crystal Domain’s mechanisms, and he always felt that the Crystal Domain wasn’t so simple.

Veronia reverted to her original form, floating to the center of the open space on Rainbow Bubbles, holding an unprocessed Spatial Domain Crystal. Without hesitation, she activated the crystal’s power.

A unique light flashed, and there were no obvious changes like in the Forest Domain, but upon close inspection, the space seemed to have some peculiar crystal refraction effects.

"What a strange domain, it actually doesn’t suppress lower energy?"

Veronia wondered, reaching her small hand towards the sky, while Tamur floated within the Spatial Domain, sensing something but finding nothing.

Feng Yuan glanced at Xiao Ji beside him, borrowing its power. Nine small shields encircled him. As he prepared to transform them into weapons, he was surprised to find a faint blue crystal sheen on the black shields.

Could it be... affecting the Defense Technique?

Thinking this, Feng Yuan gestured, and the nine shields instantly coalesced into a massive black Giant Shield. At this moment, everyone could clearly see a thin crystal layer on the black Giant Shield.

He tapped it with his hand, and the crystal layer on the Giant Shield absorbed Feng Yuan’s knock completely without making a sound.

"Hmm, the Spatial Domain actually enhances defense? Suddenly, I feel a bit uneasy. If two teams focusing on defensive counterattacks meet and both activate a Spatial Domain, then..."

Feng Yuan mused, his expression turning peculiar, as those special circumstances were already troublesome for the Beast Tamer competition, and now things could get even more outrageous?

"It doesn’t seem so, as activating a Spatial Domain requires the corresponding Spirit Beast, and this thing..."

Veronia said, with a wave of her hand, a Spatial Blade swept across. At that moment, the crystal layer used to enhance defense reacted differently, as if the Spatial Blade had ignited explosives, causing a series of intense explosions in a short period.

If Feng Yuan hadn’t retreated in time, Xiao Ji might have gotten very upset.

"Hmm, does this mean... spatial ultimate moves gained a chain explosion effect?"

Looking at the destroyed black Giant Shield, Feng Yuan stroked his chin. Tamur circled Feng Yuan once, flicking its tail, and said,

"Just an extra enhancement for spatial ultimate moves."

"Uh... so enhancing defense is just an added benefit? But in that case, it seems pretty handy for breaking turtle shells."

Pausing for a moment, Feng Yuan thought and said. After all, he could tell how much force Veronia actually used with just a wave of her hand; normally, that level of attack shouldn’t have been able to directly destroy the Giant Shield.

It suggests that the Spatial Domain suppresses non-spatial attributes’ lethality while amplifying space series’ ultimate moves, which appears to be the normal effect, albeit presented differently.

Recalling something, Feng Yuan looked at Veronia and asked,

"By the way, have you figured out why this thing caused the Space Gate explosion?"

"More or less figured it out. Within the Spatial Domain, many abnormal space layers appear. They’re stable as long as no material passes through, but... it’s a pity we can’t test here."

Veronia nodded with a look of regret, leaving Feng Yuan puzzled, and he inquired,

"What’s the problem? Did you discover something we could try?"

"I’m afraid not. Even though we haven’t tried, I suspect it’s another effect of the Crystal Domain. However, doing so would ruin this field."

Veronia said with a slight smile. Hesitating for a moment, Feng Yuan said,

"Then... hold on."

Even though Feng Yuan was curious about Veronia’s discovery, he couldn’t make decisions on behalf of the academy. Fortunately, due to the school gate incident, the academy leaders were present. Upon learning of Feng Yuan’s request, they didn’t hesitate much before letting a few professors come over to supervise, granting Feng Yuan’s request.

Even though Feng Yuan was just an ordinary person, as long as he was a student at the academy and wanted to test his ultimate move, they had no reason to deny it. Moreover, even if this wasteland were destroyed, as long as it didn’t result in a permanent environmental change, it wouldn’t be particularly difficult to repair.

The reason students aren’t allowed to casually test powerful ultimate moves here is to prevent accidental harm to others, but when someone like Feng Yuan reports and requests permission, the academy generally wouldn’t refuse.

Watching the crowd that had gathered for the spectacle, Feng Yuan curiously glanced at Veronia, who was preparing. He wondered what Veronia had discovered to have requested everyone to clear the field.

Veronia had no intention of keeping secrets, and once the field was cleared, she activated the Spatial Domain again. This time, she directly used a space fluctuation move, which had minimal power.

The power of space fluctuation itself was low; its significance lay in repelling nearby enemies and revealing those hidden or in stealth states.

But within the Spatial Domain, the ultimate move underwent a dramatic transformation.

The previously nearly invisible space fluctuation showed silver-white shadows, and even the test objects erected specifically were smashed by the space fluctuation.

"What is this? The ultimate move’s form changed?!"

Feng Yuan was stunned, not expecting such a transformation to occur.
