Chapter 49 - I Just Used a Little Bit Too Much Strength. (1/2)
Krune looked at them and siad.
”Then we are going to enter, but not now, I need some time to check one thing.”
They looked at Krune and nodded, Yusa then remembered one thing.
”Right, during that battle against the fog leopard, your Thunder Water Dragons suddenly dispersed, why was that?”
Krune nodded.
”Exactly, that's what I want to check, at that moment I felt something in my foundation that reacted to the lightning power that I used in the Myriad Water Thunder Dragons, I want some time to check why that happened.”
He then looked at Shinja and asked.
”You probably know more about the situation of the Danger Zones than us, do you think that those Divine Soul demon beasts would probe this location?”
Shinja shook her head.
”Extremely unlikely, we are too deep under the ground, to probe an enormous region with Divine Sense is already somewhat difficult, to include two kilometers deep in the ground on top of that is out of question, otherwise this gate would have been found a long time ago, not to mention that the Raskie Danger Zone fog affects the Divine Sense to start with.”
Krune understood the situation, then in the next second, he transformed back to his wisp form.
Shinja eyes almost popped out of her sockets, she rubbed her eyes to see if she wasn't hallucinating, but Krune was still there in the same way.
”Is that a wisp?”
Yusa put a hand on her shoulder and nodded.
”Now you know why he shows no mercy when he sees someone harming other wisps, he is basically protecting his race.”
”How is that possible, shouldn't wisps be extremely weak? His combat prowess is out of the charts too, he far surpasses the strength of those with the same cultivation.”
Yusa turned to Krune and asked.
”I will explain to her about your past, do you think it is okay to talk about that?”
Krune agreed.
”Go ahead, I will have to concentrate for a while, so leave some space for me here, explain to her about everything, the Myriad Energies Technique is okay too.”
Yusa nodded and left with Shinja, she was going to explain about Krune's power, she then took a blood contract and started writing on it.
”Shinja, this is not because we don't trust you, in fact, I might tell you this straight away, Krune is a wisp that will never force anyone he trust into a blood contract, this is something that me and Ao insisted, the reason being because not only will you not be able to talk about it without Krune's agreement, but also because it won't allow those memories to be forcefully read like with Soul Searches that high level cultivators can do.”
Shinja then looked at Ao Sulian, who nodded, she then took a deep breath and signed it, Krune has already shown his wisp form before she signed anything, if she wanted she could simply refuse and no one here would be able to do a thing, they are still not her match, but even so, Krune still trusted her and showed his true form, that's enough.
”Can you tell me now how a wisp was able to get to this point?”
Yusa and Ao nodded and started talking about everything.

On the other side of the cave, Krune was paying attention in his rainbow core, he started to summon a little of lightning elemental energy outside, at first, nothing happened, what made him a little puzzled, but then he decided to straightly use the Thunder Line skill, as expected, his rainbow core rippled again and his control over the skill went out of control, some sparks flew around and the skill disappeared.
'As I thought, it's the lightning elemental energy that causes it, the moment I use lightning power, the lightning element inside my rainbow core reacts to it, if I'm not wrong, it is because the rainbow cores lightning came from the Heavenly Tribulation, could it be that it has some conscience of its own?'
But that was not the issue, the issue was that he couldn't use lightning power because of that, he tried several times but had no use, as long as a large amount of lightning elemental energy was used, his rainbow core lightning would mess up with it. It was then that Krune had an idea.
'Could it be that my rainbow core wants to eat the lightning that I'm using?'
He thought it to be very likely, otherwise, why would it intervene only when a lot of elemental power was used? That's probably because it only cares if there is a lot.
Krune then directly summoned lightning energy around of the rainbow core, and sure enough, it started absorbing the power of lightning, but that wasn't all, he could feel that the power of lightning that he fed to his rainbow core was being converted into the power of tribulation lightning as well. It was then that a crazy idea came into mind.
'If there is a lot of tribulation lightning elemental power, can I use it by myself?'
He didn't know if it was feasible, first of all, he had never heard about someone having the tribulation lightning as part of their cores, let alone using it.
'But if it works, the power of my lightning skills will multiply several times, it will definitely become my best trump card!'
Krune kept feeding lightning power to his core, the process was quite slow, not to mention that it used a lot of spiritual energy, the problem was that only 5% more or less of the lightning element power that he sent in was converted into tribulation lighting, the rest was simply discarded by his rainbow core, but he understood the reason.
'The tribulation lightning of my rainbow core is basically filtering all the impurities in my own lightning power, in the end, only 5% is usable, but this is good, it shows how powerful this lightning is really is.'
Time passed, Krune had to stop to recover his spiritual energy three times, and only after 10 hours did his rainbow core finally stop absorbing lightning element.
'First, instead of trying to use the tribulation lightning, let's try to use a normal Thunder Line, I want to see if my rainbow core tribulation lightning will intervene now.'
Krune summoned lightning power and used the skill, the Thunder Line pierced the cave wall and disappeared deep inside.
'As expected, if my rainbow core tribulation lightning is satisfied, it won't mess around with my normal control over the lighting element, even if I can't use the power of the tribulation lightning, I still found a way to stop it from affecting my own lightning element. The problem is, how should I try to use it?'
Krune pondered a bit and tried to guide the tribulation lightning just like he guides his spiritual energy, but it didn't even move, he tried to bait the lightning out using his own lightning power as a bridge but no success either, in fact, there wasn't much Krune do anyway, it was then that he thought about something.
'My Spiritual Energy Meridians when they were being formed were capable of absorbing and let the tribulation lightning pass through to get inside my universe foundation, can I do the opposite?'
Krune had never thought about doing the reverse option, but he thought it was worth a try, instead of connecting all his seven meridians with his universe foundation, he took one out and connected directly with his rainbow core, but nothing happened at first.
'I see, that's because I used my meridians to absorb, I have to reverse the flux, instead of absorbing things from outside, I will absorb things from the inside.'
