Chapter 2651 - 2652: Siege and Defense

Feng Yuan had not considered that the Empire would attack Kui Mountain Town before now, because under normal circumstances, the defensive power of Kui Mountain Town was on par with Maomu City. After all, the era when the Mythological Remnants lived was a time of war, unlike the Dynasty Era, and almost every period was a divine war.

To save the weak in such situations, how could it be possible not to have powerful strength? However, this power could not be completely gathered in Kui Mountain Town. Even so, it would not be sensible to attack Kui Mountain Town unless one was out of their mind.

Now it was different. The technology mastered by the Mythological Remnants could allow the Empire to achieve their intention of passing through the Netherworld. For this purpose, sending enough powerful forces to attack with the possibility of victory was conceivable.

This is also why Long Boduo came to find Feng Yuan, as Feng Yuan was entangled with those Mythological Remnants. This matter was very likely to make him take action, and indeed he did. Upon hearing that the Empire was attacking Kui Mountain Town, Feng Yuan immediately rushed to help.

At this moment, Kui Mountain Town was surrounded by a powerful barrier of Netherworld power. It wasn’t that they didn’t have other means, but such strong force wasn’t necessary for the former defense of Kui Mountain Town, so bringing things that weren’t needed wasn’t an option.

You have to understand that those Mythical Era technologies still hold strategic importance in modern times. Discarding them here when they aren’t needed could lead to big trouble in the event of an unexpected circumstance.

With the continuous influx of Netherworld power, even if the Empire used Anti-Divine Beast Runes and stacked them to the limit, they couldn’t do anything to Kui Mountain Town for a while. After all, Netherworld power is different from conventional force, being an essential component of the world’s order.

This is why there are plenty of Divine Beasts in the Netherworld. Without a sufficient quantity of Divine Beasts, even if the Netherworld is only a temporary substitute, it couldn’t maintain the surface order, let alone give birth to beings of the rank of Shi and Xilnais.

Without a sufficiently powerful presence to suppress, one can only win through numbers, which is precisely why the Empire focused on that place due to the special nature of the Netherworld.

"This is... really enough emphasis, no wonder you came to find me."

Arriving in the real world from the Netherworld Passage, looking at the black light beam penetrating both areas and the location shielded by a black light curtain, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but sigh. Not everyone qualifies to resist so long when facing multiple Anti-Divine Beast attacks.

With Feng Yuan’s ability, he could naturally see that the Anti-Divine Beast projections summoned by the Anti-Divine Beast Runes were already at full stack. Even so, several Anti-Divine Beasts still couldn’t do anything to this black barrier.

"The power of the Mythical Era, doing this, will affect the Netherworld."

Veronia murmured, looking at Long Boduo. The power source of these devices all came from the Netherworld. If Long Boduo and the others didn’t notice the substantial extraction of Netherworld power, it would indeed be bizarre. Of course, due to special circumstances, they wouldn’t punish those people because of this. After all, the devices of the Mythological Remnants were unique devices, and if it weren’t for the Empire’s attack, such a situation probably wouldn’t have happened.

After all, turning special devices that rely on Netherworld power to protect during regular combat is almost impossible. Besides, the Ghost Series and Death Series Spirit Beasts would use their Ultimate Moves to invoke Netherworld power. Thus, using some Netherworld power wouldn’t cause even the slightest ripple.

It’s only like now, when massive borrowing of Netherworld power is used to counter existing at the level of Divine Beasts, that it would cause a tremor in the Netherworld.

Of course, trying to trigger a Netherworld catastrophe through this isn’t doable, such an impact at most will only cause some anomalies in the Netherworld land of the energy-drawn region.

Compared to the vast Netherworld, such anomalies are not eye-catching, but this doesn’t mean that the Netherworld Divine Beasts cannot perceive it or react to it.

If Feng Yuan did not take action, the Divine Beasts of the Netherworld would handle matters here. However, whether they would stop the extraction of Netherworld power or directly eliminate those Anti-Divine Beast Runes is another matter.

"Act, Xiao Ji, drop the Crimson Judgement downward, try to avoid Kui Mountain Town, no restraint needed."

Glancing at Xiao Ji beside him, Feng Yuan said. Although Xiao Ji’s power wasn’t strong now, Divine Beast Techniques, especially those uncontrolled, were unreasonable existences. Even if it couldn’t heavily damage the Anti-Divine Beast Runes, it could cause interference.

As for eliminating those Anti-Divine Beast Runes? Feng Yuan didn’t expect ordinary Beast Tamers to achieve that. No matter what, those were full-stacked Anti-Divine Beast Runes, not something average people could handle.

With Kui Mountain Town under the protection of the Mythological Remnants’ barrier, Xiao Ji’s Crimson Judgement wouldn’t cause too much destruction even if uncontrolled. As for the surrounding terrain?

The natural resources around Kui Mountain Town aren’t that great. Even if completely destroyed, it wouldn’t be a significant loss.

"Veronia, you and Tamur deal with the Twisted Beimode; I’ll cover the others!"

Shouting to Veronia and the others, Feng Yuan wielded The Black Scythe and charged out. Xiao Ji let out a long cry and soared into the sky, launching the Crimson Judgement, the sky torn apart, Netherfire Orbs fell continuously. Veronia snorted softly and said,

"Underestimated me, huh?"

Shifting to the Crystal Queen stance, Veronia faced the Twisted Bemod Phantom. Even for the Crystal Queen Veronia, it was difficult to instantly kill the full-stacked Twisted Bemod Phantom.

For the full-layer Anti-Divine Beast phantom, even Feng Yuan couldn’t quickly clear it, maybe Shi and Xilnais could, but that would involve using delete forces to forcibly remove it from this world.

Don’t doubt, they do have such power, but under non-necessary circumstances, they can’t and won’t do so. Feng Yuan also wouldn’t allow them to mess around like that, as deletion and reset of the Yin World wouldn’t directly return obliterated things to the origin, or rather, only by completely resetting the Yang World will everything return to the source.

Cleaning a single thing would only permanently occupy unrecoverable world source evolution.

After doing so many times, only by relying on the world to completely reset would the world source return to normal.

With big weapons unusable, Feng Yuan had to first consider holding these things in check, at least not letting them continue attacking the barrier to avoid affecting the Netherworld.

"Let’s try this move... these things shouldn’t affect there."

Muttering, Feng Yuan gave a fierce swing of The Black Scythe, Flames sprang from the Dark Ancient Book floating beside Feng Yuan, the sky instantaneously darkened, thunder boomed deafeningly, and the air grew thin, as if some terrifying presence was awakening.

The pointed end of the long-handled scythe targeted the rampant Anti-Divine Beast phantoms, and red chains burst from the void, where those top-level Divine Beast-like Anti-Divine Beast phantoms became powerless, weak animals helplessly struggling.

"What is that technique?"

Veronia was surprised watching this scene, the crimson chains summoned by Feng Yuan were very special, though seemingly all chains, in Veronia’s perception, those chains seemed particularly dangerous, and their power source didn’t seem to come from the Netherworld.

"This is a method we cannot and should not master."

Tamur gently swayed his body, and with a flick of Little Claw, a Mythical Era’s attack projection blasted towards the unchain-attentive Twisted Bemod Phantom. Reminded by Tamur, Veronia then gave up observing the chains and focused attentively on dealing with the Twisted Bemod Phantom.

Gazing anxiously at those crimson chains, Long Boduo hadn’t expected Feng Yuan to use such a terrifying technique right upon his arrival. If an accident happened, it would be even more troublesome.

"Something’s wrong, this strength fully matches the original Third Legion occupying this region, report this intelligence immediately!"

Not long after the defensive rotation, Qi Chen and the others again engaged with the Empire, but this time they quickly fell into a disadvantage. With just one glance, Dou Yanlan detected something was amiss.

The others remained silent because they realized the anomaly, with a tinge of panic in their hearts.

There was no help for it; the assaulting enemy strength almost matched the Third Legion’s strength. Yet before receiving deployment orders, they were unaware of the Third Legion’s current garrisoning location.

This indicated the Empire had secretly mapped out the city defense arrangements of Maomu City under the Temple’s suppression, clearly intending to tie up the City Defence Army, preventing their support dispatch.

"Ah Chen! Use the Qi Realm Stance to disrupt the formation!"

After hesitating for a moment, Dou Yanlan called out, although that power shouldn’t be recklessly utilized, compared to Mythical Transformation, the Qi Realm Stance’s limit was lower, and by attacking with it, there would at least be a chance to adjust via Mythical Transformation.

Moreover, Dou Yanlan believed that Qi Chen could definitely sustain the use of the Qi Realm Stance this time!
