Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1258 - 1259: Each Displays Their Skill

"Attack!"

Sharlo’s Divine Beast couldn’t hold back any longer and shouted; the terrible pressure was overwhelming. However, as it was a joint operation, its orders clearly couldn’t make the armies act. Soon, the second nation that gave the command appeared, only to find that advancing one step at a time was no good.

After some hesitation, they no longer hesitated and directly notified each other through the Divine Beasts’ intelligence network. The next moment, soldiers who received the orders directly activated the launchers filled with the Breath of Death.

Howling, those missiles laden with the Breath of Death rushed toward the border of Great Xia like reapers of death. At the same time, Great Xia’s side also detected them. Deep purple array patterns spread from beneath the launcher towards the ground, connecting to the subterranean energy flow at a speed not inferior to the Black Array Patterns.

Aside from Sharlo’s officers who had some speculations, soldiers from other nations were all shocked. A Quine officer in Sharlo’s uniform angrily said,

"What on earth is this! When did they do this?"

Though unaware of the quirks of this launcher, he knew very well that this clandestine device was suspicious. If there was truly no issue, why not explain beforehand?

The surrounding soldiers looked at each other, not expecting that while they were secretly plotting, Sharlo also had other plans.

As the missiles entered Great Xia’s territory, before Great Xia could implement its own contingency plan, the sky was shattered by a massive dragon tail. Eclipse, in the form of an Eastern Giant Dragon, burst through the break it created, and with a loud howl, turned the entire sky into a boundless night. Black fog quickly spread across the land, and the missiles, as if caught in a quagmire, flew more and more slowly in the sky, eventually coming to a halt.

Coldly eyeing the enemy soldiers, Eclipse let out a dragon’s roar. The missiles exploded one by one, the compressed Breath of Death ready to pour out, yet it gathered toward Eclipse as if guided by an invisible force.

"It’s trying to..."

Agunas’ face changed. If Eclipse were to send the Breath of Death directly back to the Netherworld, he wouldn’t mind. But gathering it, could Eclipse be planning to...

"Of course, it’s an eye for an eye~"

With a sly smile, Feng Yuan’s grin disappeared instantly, looking coldly at the enemy soldiers’ direction. This was his plan from the beginning, though the opponents’ actions made him suspect if it would cause any abnormal changes.

Seeing the Breath of Death gathered by Eclipse, everyone was stunned, even Nierlat and others were no better off. Eclipse rarely communicated with them, these Divine Beasts. What it knew, what it could wield, was beyond their knowledge. Witnessing this astounding scene made them hesitate.

Even Ghost-type Divine Beasts couldn’t manipulate the Breath of Death on such a large scale. They might interfere with small amounts in limited ranges, but like Eclipse, they were utterly incapable.

Even Nierlat only used ancient relic techniques to collect Breath of Death, nowhere near as effortlessly as Eclipse. No wonder it was placed above them; such power...

Gazing at the sphere of Breath of Death before it with some dissatisfaction, after waiting so long, this was all it gathered? However, recalling that it had unconsciously compressed this Breath of Death, Eclipse felt at ease, knowing that even a drop of this was lethal to life in the real world.

Looking at the direction where the enemy soldiers stood, Eclipse flicked a dragon claw. Part of the Breath of Death shot out, drawing a circle in their area, creating an impenetrable black barrier of despair. Inside, some soldiers sensed the anomaly, others did not. Those who did, gazed hopelessly in the direction of their Divine Beasts.

This terrifying black barrier was something they could not break through. However, compared to them, the soldiers who did not sense the anomaly seemed much happier. At least, they didn’t have to face the dread before impending doom.

"You..."

Agunas looked at Feng Yuan with a complex expression. Though Agunas sided with Great Xia because of Feng Yuan, the Spirit Beasts and Beast Tamers among those soldiers... It wouldn’t tell Feng Yuan to spare them. After all, Agunas had experienced the wartime Mythical Era where any kindness to the enemy could bring irrevocable disaster to one’s own side.

"It’s not related to me, it’s Eclipse’s decision."

Hugging Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan looked toward the sky at the massive dragon. It dominated the sky, deep blue auroras cascading from the boundless night sky as it released its power.

"Eclipse! You have crossed the boundary!"

Divine Beasts not involved in the war between Great Xia and those nations stood outside the endless night, shouting at Eclipse. Below the night sky had become Eclipse’s Domain. They weren’t foolish and wouldn’t engage Eclipse within its Domain; that was seeking their own suffering.

Looking at the Divine Beasts hiding outside the boundless darkness, Eclipse sneered and said,

"So what if I’ve crossed the boundary? Look at yourselves, only daring to hide and criticize from a safe place. Who knows, if I attacked you, how would you react?"

A pair of dragon whiskers fluttered as it moved, making those Divine Beasts look grim. If not necessary, they did not want to confront Eclipse directly. Its strength was far beyond their expectations. Even if they teamed up, they might not manage to retreat intact. Moreover, their relationships weren’t close enough to trust each other implicitly in battle.

Ignoring the Divine Beasts, Eclipse watched the soldiers encircled by the Breath of Death and said,

"They violated the rules, abusing Netherworld’s power. Are you sure you want to intervene?"

"You!"

The Divine Beasts hiding outside the endless night glared at Eclipse but dared not act and even retreated a bit. They had no way to ascertain if the scope of Eclipse’s Domain would expand. After a long silence, one of the Divine Beasts coldly spoke,

"They may be punished for their crimes, but don’t expand the scope of your attack!"

Glancing at that Divine Beast, Eclipse sneered and ignored them. Perhaps feeling disgraced, that Divine Beast uttered some harsh words and retreated as if escaping.

With a cold snort, Eclipse couldn’t be bothered with those creatures. If not for them being Divine Beasts and not maliciously so, it would have long ago swatted them away with its tail.

"Order? Hmph, what a joke."

Looking down at the Empire soldiers, Eclipse sneered disdainfully. Though it also maintained the Yin World’s order, it never stubbornly adhered to the strict laws of order. If war was deemed necessary, then war was the order. If recuperation and growth were needed, then peace was the order. Eclipse looked down on those Divine Beasts rigidly holding onto fixed rules, thinking them excessively rigid.

"It was indeed problematic!"

The black array patterns activated, a black wind wall blocked Great Xia’s border. On the ground, those deep purple array patterns seemed to come alive, forming deep purple tendrils rising from the earth. The Breath of Death couldn’t affect those deep purple tendrils because they were composed of pure energy, immune to corrosion and destruction by the Breath of Death.

Continuously striking the ground, those tendrils launched attacks in all directions. When they met obstacles from Great Xia’s direction, they noticeably started converging towards Great Xia’s direction.

"What on earth is this?"

Seeing this bizarre object, Feng Yuan was taken aback. This thing wasn’t quite like elemental lifeforms; at least elemental lifeforms lived. Saying this thing was alive, Feng Yuan couldn’t believe it lacked even a soul or the aura of life, entirely constructed of pure energy.

"I don’t know. It doesn’t seem like something from an Ancient Ruin."

With furrowed brows, Agunas swung its tail, saying this thing differed greatly from artifacts it knew from various periods, unsure of what exactly it was or how those guys managed to bring it forth.

"Foreign? These guys are truly daring."

With a cold laugh, Feng Yuan suddenly understood. If Agunas didn’t recognize it, it probably involved foreign means. Casting a glance at Feng Yuan, Agunas shook its head and said,

"Not necessarily. At least, foreign means should be unable to connect with energy flows in the ground."
