Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 467 Ignoring the Threats

Heavin quickly returned to Krune's shoulder and dropped the three Heavenly Fragments on his hand. Seeing those things, Krune couldn't help but think.

"I wonder if I can get more Godly Stones with these ones as well."

Krune then walked to Tikal's side, who seemed to have lost his soul.

Nothing made sense in his head. How did that Parrot find his location? It should be impossible with Krune's level of Divine Sense. What was that energy that broke through his Chaos Energy Barrier as if it wasn't even there? What is that Parrot's Beak made from that his Peak Diamond Stars Bow broke like an egg being hit by a hammer?

Also, the thing that made Tikal the most puzzled about was those final words. He received the Parrots message, but it wasn't Divine Sense at all! The Parrot's voice appeared out of nowhere in his mind, just like a Divine Sense message, but it was one for sure. Such a thing should only be possible if the Parrot's cultivation was far above his one. But that would mean that the Parrot is above the Divine Path Realm, which he is sure to not be the case.

'No, wait! Why does it look like the Parrot has sentience? Wasn't it Lakin who was controlling him?'

There were too many questions in his mind, but no answers. No one knows about the Mental Energy, and Krune wouldn't tell him either.

"You perhaps don't have a few Godly Stones to lend me, do you?"

Tikal wanted to die already. Those were precisely the same words he asked Lakin when they met.

Tikal took his Spatial Ring and threw it at him.

"That's everything I have, do whatever you want. I just ask you to not kill me."

Krune looked inside and was surprised to see that, in fact, Tikal had two Godly Stones! He didn't expect him to have any at all.

"Haha! Good, then it is a deal."

Krune took the Gogly Stones out of Tikal's Spatial Ring and threw it back at him.

"These two Godly Stones are enough, I don't have any need for the rest."

With a beaming smile, Krune and Heavin quickly left. There are quite a few eyes around, so he didn't want to stay for much longer. Tikal looked as Krune disappeared in the distance. He didn't expect that the other would really leave him alive.

'Doesn't he know what it means to get rid of the roots?'

In the end, Tikal shook his head and walked away. He wasn't out of danger yet since someone might come to attack him for whatever reason. As for revenge or anything like that, he can think about it once he is safe. He has no other choice other than start cultivating from zero again.

Krune didn't move with his Tribulation Lightning Movement this time. Instead, he flew at the speed of a standard 7th Stage Soul Forging Realm cultivator or demon beast. On the way, he asked Heavin to check the surroundings with his Mental Energy just to be sure that no one was following. Confirming that all was okay, he let out a sigh of relief and made his way to the next Light Pillar.

Even though Krune wasn't showing his real speed anymore, he was stopped by another two more enemies on the way. Both of them only paid attention to Krune's 7th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm. Unfortunately, they overestimated themselves and lost their cultivations as well.

First, their cultivations were below Tikal's, and second, they were not Heavenly Fragment Owners, let alone Heavenly Divine Souls. It was simply to easy to beat those two black and blue. Of course, Krune also didn't find anything of interest in their Spatial Rings.

Around two days later, Krune finally arrived at the next Light Pillar.

As one can imagine, the number of cultivators and demon beasts resting around it was even smaller than the previous level. The higher you go, the more Godly Energy there is. So the ones with lower cultivations would take a lot longer to get used to this dimensional realm's level, which means that they won't come anytime soon.

In contrast, the cultivators and demon beasts present around this Pillar at the moment have much higher cultivations. There were almost no Soul Forging Realm present; they were nearly all at the Void Breaking Realm or above. They could use their own cultivations to forcefully resist the Godly Energy and get used to it faster.

Krune knows that even with his Myriad Energies Technique, there is a limit to how much he can do with his cultivation. After all, Krune's adaptation level can't possibly compare to Divine Path Realm cultivators or demon beasts. Krune was bound to find higher-level opponents in the future since those at his level are stuck behind.

'No one is coming for me yet, seems like the Heavenly Fragment Owners from the same Univer as Tikal are not here. Well, I will simply keep these fragments with me for now.'

The first thing Krune did was to check the Light Pillar for the previous rankings. Sure enough, he immediately spotted Makui WF in the second position. No doubt that was was Wang Feifei. However, he quickly reached the same conclusion as his woman. Feifei would never advance through the Light Pillars if it had the chance to get separated from Fie. That means she was also alone.

"Light Spirit, can you tell me if Fie's Tribulation Lightning Essence still there?"

Light Spirit confirmed.

"Yes, there has been no change so far, which means that she is at least alive and well. But that is all I can tell from here."

Only then Krune stopped to pay attention to his position in the previous pillar rank.

"What?! I was the only one to break 500 Windows?!"

Heavin looked at Krune as if he was looking at an idiot.

"Are you kidding me? Your name is right above Feifei's second place! How come you only noticed it now?"

Krune scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Cough, cough. I forgot I used Lakin's name for myself."

Heavin shook his head and didn't say anything else.

"Anyway, let me take the rewards for the previous Pillar then."

"Are you sure? The ten Godly Stones will all appear in front of everyone, you know?"

Krune sighed, hearing that.

"I don't have another choice. At least, this is a safe zone, so no one can attack me. I need those Godly Stones if I want to finish to adapt to this level in the next ten to fifteen days. I will just cultivate here and ignore everyone else."

Heavin and Light Spirit had nothing to say, that was indeed the only option. After all, he would need to take those stones sooner or later. Sure, he could cultivate without them and wait for the time he is ready to go up before taking the stones. It wouldn't give time for the others to say anything, and he would be gone. But it would take more than double the time he would need to stay here.

Krune sent his request into the Light Pillar, which quickly verified his achievements. Krune had stayed in the top 100 for at least three days in a row, so the Pillar immediately began to generate his Godly Stones. Outside, Godly Energy started to gather from the surroundings at fast speeds and one Godly Stone after another was formed, ten in total.

They slowly descended on Krune's hand once more, which caught everyone's attention. Still, Krune ignored them and put nine inside his Spatial Ring, leaving only one out for him to start cultivating.

Sure enough, after seeing Krune's cultivation, some of the observers quickly talked with him.

"Hey, kid. Give me the Godly Stones."

"Why should he give to a weakling like you? Kid, if you know what is good for you, pass me your Godly Stones."

"Haha! The two of you scram to the side, his Godly Stones are mine."

Krune, on the other hand, totally ignored all of them.

Those guys obviously noticed that Krune kept using the Godly Stone without even looking at them. Not only that, but they could see just how fast he was absorbing 'their' Godly Stone's Energy.

"Are you deaf? Last warning, pass the Godly Stones over."

Still, Krune didn't move a single muscle. One of the demon beasts threatening Krune lost his patience and attacked. However, as the majority already expected, he was quickly crushed by the Light Pillar. In the end, he couldn't touch even a single hair from Krune.

That was also the reason that the others still didn't make a move. As long as you are inside the Safe Zone, they can't do anything. They were basically threatening Krune using their higher cultivation. But it proved to completely useless.

"Kid, you better don't let me see you outside the safe zones."

One by one, those guys retreated, but they all stayed close in case things changed. Godly Stones are just too rare, and everyone here wanted them. However, getting a high position in the ranks was too hard when you were not a Heavenly Fragment or Divine Soul owner. Also, those who were in this group would usually have high cultivations and were hard to deal with. You simply couldn't use their cultivation level to judge their strength.

While Krune was cultivating with the Godly Stones, one thing happened that made him happy.

'It really took a long time, but I can finally merge a little bit of all elements together. It means that I'm getting close to the advanced stage of the Elements Regulation Technique that master passed me.'

Krune gathered the five Main Elements and the two Higher Ones on his hand. Immediately, they started to merge together. Although it wasn't even close to what Lucio could do, Krune could already see the black color that the merging caused.

'I wonder if I can put Purple Tribulation Lightning in the mix.'
