Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2458: Chapter 2459: Outside Baiman City

Feng Yuan didn’t act with the Maomu City’s support team. As for Agunas, Feng Yuan sent him to assist the support team. As for himself? Long Boduo, who showed up, happened to help open the door.

"How could they..."

At this moment, Qi Chen still found it somewhat unbelievable. He never expected that Baiman City was also among the targets of the assault. No, to be precise, the cities that had lost contact during this period might already have been hit. Baiman City just managed to send out the message due to that unique red brocade.

It was precisely because of the message sent by that red brocade that they learned Baiman City had already...

"Those bastards!"

Yang Hongzhi’s eyes were bloodshot. Although he didn’t know anyone or any Spirit Beast in Baiman City, the messages from the red brocade filled him with rage.

"Nothing is surprising in war, even if the methods are a bit ruthless."

Veronia spoke with an accustomed expression. During the Mythical Era, let alone these small tactics, even dirtier methods weren’t unheard of. However, Veronia couldn’t understand why The Imperial Timeline would act this way.

After all, methods are just methods; they are all for the sake of ultimate victory. Why did they do this, and what benefit would it bring?

To strike at Great Xia’s living forces? But what is the point? In Beast Tamer Wars, the decisive factor is still the top-level strength. Their approach might even unite the previously scattered forces. Veronia believed that people in The Imperial Timeline wouldn’t overlook this consequence.

Does Baiman City have something important? Veronia felt this was unlikely because Baiman City wasn’t a crucial city. Besides its fire attribute veins, it was almost no different from other cities.

Veronia always felt this operation wasn’t simple and looked at Feng Yuan, unsure whether he realized it.

Perhaps he has already guessed it; otherwise, he wouldn’t be acting alone, just for convenience?

As she thought about this, Veronia didn’t speak. It’s better to ask Feng Yuan privately when there’s a chance.

"Is it okay for us to act together?"

Najia sat on Yang Hongzhi’s shoulder, worriedly asking. Mainly because Feng Yuan also invited them to act together, but if that’s the case, Maomu City would only have Drudgeon stationed. Although it’s much stronger than cities without any Divine Beasts, it’s still somewhat dangerous.

After all, other cities aren’t like Maomu City, which is already a thorn in The Imperial Timeline’s side.

"It’s not a big problem. With the City of Death here, those guys won’t be able to do anything in a short time. As for organizing a forceful attack?"

After a pause, Feng Yuan shrugged and said,

"They probably wouldn’t do such foolish things. Maomu City doesn’t hold strategic advantages, nor is it an important city. Instead of exerting effort on a forceful attack there, they might knock down other places first and surround without attacking; wouldn’t that be better?"

Feng Yuan wasn’t very worried about their departure leading to Maomu City’s fall. The City of Death isn’t a joke, not to mention that Maomu City doesn’t have much value to warrant such a heavy cost to capture.

"Indeed, but accidents always happen."

Najia was still a bit insecure. Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and said irritably,

"Expecting 100% certainty is impossible, especially under current circumstances. As long as there is an opportunity and the cost isn’t too high, a gamble can be taken."

"Anyway, I plan to go and see what they’re up to, and hopefully save some survivors."

Due to the urgency of the situation, Feng Yuan didn’t spend time persuading Najia. Whether Najia wanted to stay in Maomu City didn’t matter, as the group of Divine Beasts around Feng Yuan was already enough.

Eventually, Najia decided to follow Feng Yuan, trusting that Feng Yuan wouldn’t ignore Maomu City. His words must imply there’s a contingency in Maomu City, apart from just depending on the City of Death, which seemed unreliable.

Feng Yuan didn’t ask Agunas to open a Space Gate. He felt that those people might have set space traps near there. As for how they planned to reach Baiman City?

High-speed trains were certainly impossible. Not to mention that the high-speed rails were under control now, but given Baiman City’s situation, no one dared to dispatch trains there.

Because of Long Boduo’s involvement, Feng Yuan decided to detour through the Netherworld. In the realm of the Netherworld, observing the strange auroras on the ground, Long Boduo said,

"Why has this place become like this?"

"Sure enough, there’s a space trap. The Netherworld is closely linked to the Main World. If a space trap is set without handling, it results in feedback into the Netherworld, causing interference."

Feng Yuan rubbed his chin and remarked. He had suspected this earlier, and now the suspicion was confirmed.

"Space trap? Then, what should we do?"

Long Boduo looked a bit anxious toward Feng Yuan, not because it worried about entering Baiman City, but whether this setup might affect the Netherworld.

"Detour or just go through should be fine. They seem not to have set traps in the Netherworld."

Feng Yuan considered and replied. If those people set a trap in the Netherworld, this thing should’ve appeared in the Netherworld by now. Of course, if they were using a strategy of deceit, it may be different.

However, Feng Yuan felt this possibility was small; firstly, there wasn’t a need for such complexity; secondly, those people didn’t have the strength to do it.

The Netherworld differs from other Domains; there’s genuinely quite a number of Divine Beasts belonging to it. Furthermore, the Netherworld itself isn’t quite like typical Domains, hence setting traps there isn’t easy.

Not to mention, any traps would need to evade Long Boduo and its allies.

Upon hearing this, Long Boduo paced forward quickly because this realm is the Netherworld, its domain. Even if there were issues, it would be up to Long Boduo to handle them.

In human form, Long Boduo stomped hard, and numerous Netherworld inscriptions emerged from the ground. The wandering spirits scattered around were summoned by the inscriptions, promptly gathering on that auroral site.

Watching the floating wandering spirits, Long Boduo said,

"Apparently, there really isn’t an issue."

This method, though limited to the Netherworld, was highly effective. Unless specifically countered, most traps in the Netherworld would be triggered by wandering spirits.

"Let’s go. The presence of these things here signifies the situation in Baiman City isn’t good. Hopefully, there are survivors."

Sighing, Feng Yuan urged to move forward. The messages brought by the red brocade were limited, but based on their intelligence, it was known the Imperial Timeline sealed off Baiman City and conducted heinous slaughter within.

While Feng Yuan didn’t understand their purpose, he was sure that it wasn’t just mere provocation.

From the outside, Baiman City looked unchanged from usual. Yet, if attempting to approach from outside, one would realize the path wouldn’t end regardless of how far traveled; even by air, it was the same.

This bizarre sight made Agunas’s face look grim.

"Power of Spatial Rules."

Nervously flicking its tail, Agunas mentioned. The accompanying rescue team was trying to have space series Spirit Beasts break through the outer circulation space, but for some reason, multiple attempts were failing.

"Divine Beast-level power? What are they up to..."

Pulling out a tome, Agunas muttered while directing the rescue team to stand back. With a swipe of its Little Claw, the power of the Time River emerged. It wasn’t the least bit concerned about using the Time River’s power drawing them in for a sneak attack.

Or rather, Agunas was baiting them; the other party’s actions had aroused Agunas’s kill intent. If they dared to touch the Time River, Agunas would use its authority to bury the Imperial Timeline entirely, even at the cost of damaging the Time River.

Whether they sensed Agunas’s hidden killing intent or had other plans, even with the projection of the Time River, they made no interference.

The power of the Time River gathered before Agunas, forming a massive water sphere. With a push of its Little Claw, the sphere moved forward slowly, forcibly altering the circulating space’s time state to before its inception.

However, apart from the surroundings of the sphere, the rest of the area didn’t experience time alteration. The mismatched time state was slowly tearing space toward the sphere’s path, tracing a continually extending path illuminated by black thunder.
