"Tsk, are you really carrying a beast?"
Seeing the approaching figure, Feng Yuan smirked disdainfully and said. Although it matched the projection situation, it left him a bit repelled. After all, a Beastmaster who relies on beasts is still lacking compared to one who can fight independently.
However, this does align with reality. Whether it was Qi Chen or War Qichen, they primarily relied on the power of their beasts. Feng Yuan wondered if he would ever encounter a civilization of Beastmasters that could match beasts with their own strength. Perhaps, one day?
"It’s not just carrying beasts; this is outright cheating."
Noticing another wave of Spirit Beasts following behind Pseudo-War Qichen, Qi Chen said with a grim face. It was as if War Qichen’s number of beasts had doubled. Such shameless behavior could be ignored by someone as powerful as Feng Yuan, but it would be troublesome for them.
Because the strength of the Peculiar Realm projection was equivalent to theirs, doubling the number of beasts meant they might not even be able to defeat an equally powerful version of themselves.
Of course, they were also puzzled. Why didn’t they see any sign of Xiao Ji and others when Pseudo-Feng Yuan appeared earlier? Could it be that Xiao Ji and the others’ strength is too far behind Feng Yuan?
Admittedly, apart from occasionally calming Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan mostly fought on his own. He only borrowed Xiao Ji’s strength against weaker enemies.
To be honest, Xiao Ji’s strength couldn’t really affect Feng Yuan.
"Seal but not kill. In that case, then..."
Feng Yuan muttered as he looked at Eclipse. The other party calmly hovered near the ground. Noticing Feng Yuan’s gaze, Eclipse growled lightly and smiled, and Feng Yuan said,
"Please, seal their actions with absolute time lockdown."
"Absolute time lockdown?"
Veronia looked at Feng Yuan in surprise. Eclipse isn’t a Time Divine Beast, how could it do such a thing? Or rather, even if it were someone like Little Crocodile, it would be complicated to accomplish this.
Eclipse didn’t feel this was at all difficult. It skimmed close to the ground and flew forward, circling around Pseudo-War Qichen once. That space and time were forever frozen at that moment. Without any flashy effects, with such ease, the entire area’s time was completely locked by Eclipse.
"It really is impressive."
Even Veronia, who was well-informed, couldn’t help but feel shocked upon seeing this. Eclipse’s ability was far superior to Little Crocodile’s. To say nothing of it, Little Crocodile would definitely cause a commotion to accomplish something similar.
Unlike Eclipse, if you don’t observe closely, you might not even realize it had acted.
"Will doing this really be effective? I remember the power of fate can break through the constraints of time."
Thinking of something, Veronia looked at Feng Yuan with concern. Fate and time are both superior attributes, they naturally cannot be so easily restricted, even if it’s Eclipse taking action, it might not be foolproof.
"There shouldn’t be a big problem, after all, we have no other way to restrain these special existences."
Shrugging his shoulders, Feng Yuan said helplessly. There was no choice, unlike the previous Spirit Beasts, War Qichen’s projection clearly possessed human intelligence, an ordinary cage might not hold him.
If it’s not restrained and suddenly emerges to attack at some point, so be it, but Feng Yuan was afraid he’d charge in to intercept an attack’s ultimate move during their assault, which would be a big problem.
Time lockdown can’t guarantee no accidents, but it can surely avoid triggering death backlash damage. Compared to other plans, it’s already a relatively stable method.
After pondering for a moment, Veronia said,
"How about I trap them in the World of Mirrors?"
"It’s better not to do this. The same type of power, I worry it might contaminate your World of Mirrors."
Looking seriously at Veronia, Feng Yuan warned. The World of Mirrors, after all, is not what it once was; it’s no longer as powerful in terms of permissions. Facing the projections of the Peculiar Realm, Feng Yuan wasn’t certain whether the other party might pollute the World of Mirrors.
Once the World of Mirrors is contaminated, dealing with it afterward would be even more troublesome.
"Alright, perhaps not such a good idea then."
Seeing Feng Yuan say so, Veronia didn’t insist. After all, the risk was always there. The other party was considering her, so there’s no need to push hard. But, is there a better way?
Feng Yuan wasn’t aware that Veronia, sitting atop Rainbow Bubbles, was contemplating a more appropriate solution. Seeing Pseudo-War Qichen frozen in place, Feng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said,
"Let’s go, keep moving forward. If there’s any problem, let me know in time."
Although he speculated that doing this wouldn’t cause any severe backlash, he warned War Qichen just in case. The latter nodded slightly without saying a word.
"Has the Qi Realm not shown any new changes?"
Looking at the latest monitoring data, Qi Realm Dou Yanlan frowned slightly. Earlier, Feng Yuan and the others caused intense fluctuations in the Peculiar Realm, but now it’s the opposite, as if there was no one there at all.
"They’re probably gone, even if they’re still alive, they likely don’t have the strength to make a fuss."
Shiyin responded irritably. She wasn’t too fond of those people, unknown in origin, yet inexplicably favored by Qi Realm Dou Yanlan. If it weren’t for her respecting Qi Realm Dou Yanlan, she might have done something to cause trouble for Feng Yuan and his group.
Even now, she couldn’t understand why Qi Realm Dou Yanlan placed hope in those people.
"I believe they won’t be trapped by the Qi Realm. Perhaps they’ve already reached the Deep Layer..."
Remembering the photo sent back by Peculiar Realm Qi Chen, Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s expression turned grim. She sincerely hoped it wasn’t what she feared, or she really wouldn’t know how to handle it.
Turning to glance at the displeased Shiyin, Qi Realm Dou Yanlan understood her grievances toward Feng Yuan and company, or rather, because of her own actions toward them. However, she couldn’t explain the specifics.
Until those people’s suspicions are ruled out, she didn’t dare disclose anything, for fear of unforeseen consequences if they found out something undesirable might happen.
"I wonder if you’ll ever be able to investigate clearly what that thing really is."
Silently contemplating, Qi Realm Dou Yanlan sighed deeply.
"What is this?"
Originally thinking it was just a simple Flesh Hell, the suddenly emerging structure left Feng Yuan stunned. Looking at the building that didn’t fit the Flesh Hell, he squinted and said,
"This thing seems to only exist in the Deep Layer?"
"At least, I’ve never seen anything like this or any traces of it before."
Veronia glanced at the decaying building complex and remarked. This thing seemed to be quite old. Unlike the gravestones, which at least had remnants, this building was entirely different. In previous explorations, they never saw any indications related to this thing.
It’s as if this thing just sprouted from the ground, but how is that possible? At least the gravestones had a process of completion, but this thing...
"The Deep Layer really is completely different from the superficial layers... Falling, huh... quite vivid."
Looking up at the sky, Feng Yuan chuckled lightly as if he understood something. Dou Yanlan frowned; she felt Feng Yuan seemed to be hinting at something. War Qichen, after a long silence, slowly spoke,
"Have you confirmed it’s the case?"
"Ah, it should be correct, entering the Deep Layer from the superficial layer, it’s indeed falling."
Although the sudden structure was a bit special, it didn’t affect Feng Yuan’s judgment. At least these changes confirmed falling wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
"Falling?"
Dou Yanlan and Qi Chen exchanged glances, not quite understanding what Feng Yuan and War Qichen were talking about. Weren’t they always advancing towards the Deep Layer? Isn’t that just descending?
"Mm, the gradual completion of the remnants and the environmental changes, didn’t you notice them? It describes a region gradually being corrupted, or rather, entering the Deep Layer of the Qi Realm should mean the entire region we’re in is collectively falling deeper."
"As for these buildings, they should originally be sedimented in this area, just coinciding with the space we’re falling into."
Looking at the ruins of the ancient laboratory, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but think of that blood-red DNA, suspecting the Qi Realm more and more.
Hearing Feng Yuan’s explanation, Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan couldn’t help but exclaim. They really didn’t expect it to be like this. They thought the changing remnants were merely intimidation tactics, never considering that they were gradually completing as the space fell.
