Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2265 - 2266: Entering the Tower

The entire ancient tower, made of unknown yellow stone bricks, is covered in numerous mysterious ancient runes. Although these runes appear random, they seem to form part of some array patterns.

The ancient tower has only one large entrance. From the outside, apart from the entrance and the runes, the stone tower appears exceptionally smooth and straight.

Standing before the door, Feng Yuan looked at the tightly closed entrance and said,

"Not sure if there are any defensive measures here. You all should protect yourselves."

As he said this, Feng Yuan swung his long-handled sickle forcefully. A black-robed phantom gathered behind him, pushed its hands towards the door. Instantly, array patterns and formations appeared on the door, but they were entirely unable to stop the black-robed phantom summoned by Feng Yuan.

Behind the slowly opening door, no blinding light emerged. Yet, to everyone’s eyes, that bizarre space might not be particularly safe.

"Is it an internal space like a Star River? It’s not surprising; regions approaching hyperspace mostly display such characteristics."

Seeing the Star River and ancient stone road behind the door, Feng Yuan rubbed his chin and said. Due to the tower connecting with another world, its internal space naturally differs from conventional tower interiors. As for its Star River appearance, Feng Yuan wasn’t surprised.

Space structures, without external influence, manifest certain similarities. The most common are environments resembling a Star River in regions connecting multiple spaces.

The differences lie merely in the forms and appearances of the Star Rivers.

"Let’s go, and stay safe."

Feng Yuan turned to remind everyone, leading them into the space. Although, from the outside, this seemed a towering ancient tower, its internal space was completely different.

Stone roads etched with mysterious patterns stretched infinitely forward. Feng Yuan squinted slightly; naturally, this place wasn’t as simple as it appeared. He felt another layer of stone roads above this one.

However, attempting to fly directly up wasn’t easy.

In this place, space rules were already disrupted. Although it seemed the stone road was just above, reaching it meant confronting the chaotic rules.

Even trying to restore order in the rules would find that as the space rules were corrected, the stone road became further away.

Simply put, the stone road appearing overhead was entirely due to chaotic space rules, a visible yet untouchable thing.

"What kind of strange space is this? Why do I feel various world rules exchanging here?"

Veronia couldn’t help but ask Feng Yuan out of curiosity. The world’s rules here were indeed incredibly peculiar.

Different world rules kept replacing each other, making the rules extremely chaotic. In this environment, she suspected that an ultimate move might change properties two or three times before hitting the enemy.

Not to mention, in such a highly chaotic rule environment, the authority power of their Divine Beasts was weakened to the extreme.

However, considering the state that Feng Yuan had bestowed on Ah Mu and others before, Veronia didn’t persuade everyone to retreat.

Because of Feng Yuan’s unique situation, the enhanced state he provided was unaffected by the chaotic rules. Qiu Hanmo had realized this but said nothing.

Although everyone present seemed trustworthy to Feng Yuan, Qiu Hanmo knew that to keep a secret, the best approach was never to reveal it. Once out, leaks were almost inevitable.

As for how Feng Yuan achieved this?

Qiu Hanmo suspected it was related to the lantern Feng Yuan held. That thing might be some forbidden Divine Artifact from the Mythical Era, especially since the Monari Forest had already seen two such forbidden plans from that era. If something else strange appeared, he wouldn’t be surprised.

In his eyes, Feng Yuan was closely connected to the legendary ultra-ancient civilization of the Mythical Era. The appearance of forbidden items in his possession wouldn’t astonish Qiu Hanmo.

"What’s this? A defensive system?"

After a few steps, Feng Yuan noticed clusters of small star clouds forming and approaching them. With a slight frown, Feng Yuan waved his sickle, and the black-robed phantom reappeared. Wielding its long-handled sickle, the phantom’s weapon slashed, and the small star clouds burst into countless starry fragments upon being hit.

However, Feng Yuan’s action seemed to provoke the presence behind them. Small star clouds kept forming, and soon, numerous small star clouds converged, pressing towards them.

"Provoking them might not have been the right choice."

Qiu Hanmo spoke, starting to command his Beast Tamers to set up the battlefield. Although his beasts lacked the ultimate move for domain battlefield like the Hao Chun Bird, it didn’t matter to him. What he needed was merely a suitable area for his Beast Tamers to perform.

In comparison, Qi Chen and his team were much simpler. The Crystal Domain was deployed, domain fortresses set up, and the Hao Chun Bird and Ah Mu singlehandedly held a position.

"Though the defensive battle is labor-saving, if the enemies are endless, wouldn’t we be exhausted to death doing this?"

Veronia floated before Feng Yuan and asked. She felt the strategy was improper, glancing up at the starry sky, and Feng Yuan replied,

"We won’t. This place isn’t as good as you’d imagine, or rather, the situation here isn’t that favorable."

As small star clouds were continuously obliterated, the influx of new ones instead kept enlarging the besieging force. Qiu Hanmo and Dou Yanlan didn’t understand why Feng Yuan chose to hold ground.

At this moment, a disturbance suddenly appeared behind the small star cloud army. Feng Yuan sighed; it was just as he guessed. Being so near to that region, it couldn’t remain uninfluenced.

That it didn’t show earlier must have been closely related to the tower. Now, as the tower exerted efforts to suppress them, it naturally led to the anomaly gradually revealing itself.

Behind the small star cloud army, clusters of black star clouds gathered. These differently colored black small star clouds immediately attacked nearby ones upon appearance. Black spikes pierced into regular small star clouds, causing their light to dim rapidly, and the remnants were absorbed by the black small star clouds, making them grow.

"What’s happening?"

Qi Chen and the others noticed the disturbance at the rear but, limited by their spiritual power, couldn’t sense what was occurring behind the small star cloud army.

"Don’t worry, hold the ground."

Calmly, Feng Yuan prepared to take action. By now, the small star clouds no longer regarded Feng Yuan and his team as main targets for elimination. Compared to them, the black star clouds were enemies those guardians needed to focus on.

However, at this moment, Feng Yuan noticed another variant of small star clouds slowly appearing.

Pink small star clouds quietly emerged among the regular ones. Unlike the black ones, the pink small star clouds didn’t attack the regular ones or join the tide against the black ones. They simply kept to themselves, slowly increasing their numbers.

"What is that thing?"

Frowning slightly, Feng Yuan couldn’t understand the sudden appearance of the pink small star clouds. They didn’t seem legitimate, with peculiar coloration and odd behavior.

If they intended to profit from others’ fights, there was no need to appear this early. Feng Yuan knew that while the small star clouds had no intelligence, the entity creating them from behind wasn’t easy to understand.

From the immediate change in target when the black star clouds appeared, it was clear that the small star clouds were directly commanded by an unseen presence.

In its assessment, Feng Yuan and his companions posed no direct threat; otherwise, the small star clouds wouldn’t completely ignore them.

Sure enough, with the battle igniting between the small star clouds and the black ones, they stopped attacking everyone.

"Interesting, could it be something like a Tower Spirit?"

Veronia summoned back her stream of Crystal Luminace Stones, watching the chaotic area from afar. She could sense what was happening there but didn’t want to intervene. She was curious about the entity controlling those small star clouds. What kind of existence was it really?
