Chapter 2740 - 2741: Changes in Legendary Order

"Not just that."

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Veronia chuckled softly and said, recalling something, Feng Yuan said speechlessly,

"You really are... but it fits your personality."

This technique similar to borrowing power to release an ultimate move is something only someone like Veronia would use. Moreover, the effect is not simply transferring the power needed to execute the move.

An ultimate move can’t appear out of thin air; it requires the coordinated operation of energy and rules to come into existence. Energy becomes supplementary here, and under normal circumstances, it cannot meet the conditions for an ultimate move to manifest.

However, Veronia uses her uniqueness to temporarily borrow energy from the world. The subsequent execution of the ultimate move absorbs energy, essentially repaying the borrowed energy from the world beforehand.

This also results in a very special effect. If one wishes to interfere or stop the efficacy of this ultimate move, or interrupt it, it would mean facing the world itself, because, in essence, this ultimate move, before fully absorbing the missing energy, can be considered as being executed by the world.

Thus, the ultimate move carries certain indestructible and uninterrupted characteristics—after all, facing the world head-on is not that easy.

"Hmph, I’ll take that as a compliment."

Veronia huffed lightly and waved her small hand. The Crystal Luminance Stone Torrent in her hand continuously transformed into various forms. Despite its inherently diverse appearance, Xiao Ji could see that this time, something beyond mere appearance had changed.

The more Xiao Ji watched, the brighter its eyes became. This kind of single ultimate move with multiple variations suited its needs best. Although Xiao Ji had many ultimate moves mastered, its control power was generally insufficient. This was also what Feng Yuan had previously warned Xiao Ji about.

It was just that at the time, Xiao Ji was pursuing power, so it didn’t pay much attention to this. After the Ascension Stone helped it enhance the control power of the Crimson Judgement, Xiao Ji realized that with higher control power, the same ultimate move felt entirely different when used.

Unfortunately, even so, Xiao Ji never considered special training for ultimate move control power. Now, seeing the technique demonstrated by Veronia, it saw another possibility, which was to only train a few select ultimate moves to greatly enhance their control power, and then use Veronia’s demonstration of these techniques to undergo various changes to meet battle needs.

"But I didn’t expect your domain could actually have such a versatile effect."

Looking at Veronia, Feng Yuan said with some surprise. Veronia rarely used her domain’s power before, or rather, at their stage, domains no longer needed to be maintained constantly but could appear and disappear as needed.

In addition to Veronia’s inherently versatile ultimate moves, Feng Yuan had never really seen such effects in her domain before.

"Isn’t the impact of a domain just like that?"

Glaring at Feng Yuan, Veronia said irritably. Domains don’t directly enhance strength but can alter the power, form, effect, etc., of ultimate moves. In essence, it’s similar, so her domain wasn’t particularly great, at least not compared to Little Crocodile’s.

Agunas’ domain is a time-based counterattack. When the domain is deployed, any attacks against Agunas would be automatically counterattacked by its ultimate moves but because it doesn’t trigger Divine Beast Techniques, it’s more effective in battles involving groups. However, it is still considerably stronger than her enhancement and variation domain.

"Well, if you must say that, you’re not wrong. But common domain effects and variations shouldn’t be as many as yours, right? Forget it, Xiao Ji, do you find it tempting? If you use another Ascension Stone, you might not have this anymore."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said with a mischievous smile while looking at Xiao Ji. Stunned, Xiao Ji hesitated for a moment, whimpered in conflict, then huffed lightly, Veronia said,

"He’s not entirely scaring you; domains are indispensable at the Legendary Level. Although there has been no situation without domains at the Legendary Level before, it might happen in the future. Either way, it’s more troublesome to make up for the lack afterward."

Hearing Veronia say that Xiao Ji felt quite troubled. Even though Veronia didn’t speak with complete certainty, there wasn’t much difference. If it can’t be supplemented later...

The Flame Chasing Furry Dog, however, was unaffected. Unlike Xiao Ji, it didn’t pursue power excessively. Being able to step into the Legendary Level was already satisfactory for it because its companions at this time probably hadn’t reached Rare Level strength.

If it returned to its former tribe, it might become a pillar of the group. However, the Flame Chasing Furry Dog had no intention of returning. Not to mention the Taming Beast Contract exists, for Wild Spirit Beasts, a group is for self-preservation, and its original group doesn’t have a survival crisis, so there’s no need to go back.

Following the Beastmaster, its strength can improve faster, not to mention it was through Feng Yuan that it could enhance its power quickly. Running away at this time would be inappropriate from any perspective.

The Flame Chasing Furry Dog wasn’t ungrateful. Even though it knew clearly, Feng Yuan didn’t actually need its power.

Achieving Legendary Level strength, the Flame Chasing Furry Dog was already satisfied. It had no interest in another possible Ascension Stone, as the leap from Legendary Level to the ultimate Sacred Beast Level was challenging, and an Ascension Stone could indeed help bypass many of the difficulties.

However, the Flame Chasing Furry Dog didn’t feel the need to rush its power to the limit. Leaving some anticipation for gradual growth was also nice because now, its Legendary Level strength was sufficient.

The somewhat laid-back Flame Chasing Furry Dog couldn’t understand Xiao Ji’s thoughts, but it also didn’t plan to persuade.

"Alright, more haste, less speed. No need to speak of anything else, with your current strength, the Qi Realm Stance and Crystal Domain should have more advanced changes, shouldn’t they? Rushing to improve your power bears little significance, doesn’t it? Solely relying on the Crimson Judgement makes you easily targetable."

Seeing Xiao Ji still hadn’t figured it out, Feng Yuan said with a laugh, patting the other.

Looking at Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji called out once. Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"Are you really saying the truth? The Crystal Domain might be possible. As for the Qi Realm Stance... why haven’t I noticed any changes?"

"Because it’s just my conjecture. Initially, Xiao Ji’s strength wasn’t formidable enough, so the effect of the Qi Realm Stance would likely be weakened. After all, some techniques simply can’t be mastered and used at a low Order."

Shrugging, Feng Yuan said. Veronia’s own strength standing there was fully realized from the beginning, but that wasn’t the case for Xiao Ji. Even though Xiao Ji was a Divine Beast, it couldn’t escape the constraints of power order limits.

"True, neither of those things is simple."

After Feng Yuan’s explanation, Veronia realized this. Unlike standard ultimate moves, Crystal Domain and Qi Realm Stance were a set. Their influence encompassed all strength stages, just like one can’t touch domain-related aspects below the Legendary Level. Such things probably also contain parts unmasterable below the Legendary Level.

"So don’t be anxious. Even if it’s not Legendary Level, it’s close, right? If you really want it, consider it carefully. Once you’ve gathered all the materials, you can still advance to the Legendary Level."

Patting Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan said with a laugh. Unlike Ah Mu, Xiao Ji was stuck at the brink of evolution. Without the effect of the Ascension Stone, Xiao Ji would still need to prepare a considerable amount of materials to advance to the Legendary Level due to lack of accumulation.

Aside from that, there were no other restrictions because Xiao Ji’s strength already met the standard; it was just the accumulation that was insufficient.

As for Ah Mu, it completely failed to meet the requirements for evolution, even if it were to collect evolution materials.

Whimpering pitifully, Xiao Ji was clearly unhappy—after all, it didn’t expect to be unable to use a second Ascension Stone.

However, considering its power could still increase a bit more, Xiao Ji soon became cheerful.

"Alright, next you can consider doing targeted training or sparring with Qi Chen and the others, as that could also be beneficial for you."

Feng Yuan patted Xiao Ji with a smile, looking at Qi Chen and the others meaningfully. Scratching his head, Qi Chen awkwardly smiled.

He understood what Feng Yuan meant. Although they were currently Legendary Beast Masters, they were different from normal Legendary Beast Masters. They reached the Legendary Level through the shortcut of Ascension Stones.

Regarding strength, they hadn’t fully explored their potential and, moreover, for a long time, their strength could still grow rapidly.

As for the sparring that Feng Yuan mentioned, it was simply because they wanted to venture the Imperial Timeline once more.

Ordinary Legendary Beast Masters couldn’t ensure complete safety in battles within the Imperial Timeline, let alone them.

Sparring with Xiao Ji and others was an effective way for Qi Chen and the others to rapidly gain combat experience.
