Chapter 49 - I Just Used a Little Bit Too Much Strength. (2/2)

As expected, when the flux of the spiritual energy meridians was changed, it started to absorb the tribulation energy from the rainbow core, he only absorbed a little bit to the outside and the fused it's power with his own lightning element before using another Thunder Line.

Krune was impressed, the size of this Thunder Line increased by three times, it was obviously much more powerful.  He then threw it against the cave wall, as expected, it also pierced through the wall and went deep inside, the hole left behind was much bigger than the previous one too. Krune used his Divine Sense to probe the distance it that it traveled before dissipating, it wasn't before it got a hundred meters away that it lost of the power.

'Impressive! The normal Thunder Line was only able to pierce twenty some meters inside, but with just this little bit of tribulation lightning its power increased several times!'

Don't look down on the distance that the lightning went through the wall, lightning energy is weak against the earth in the very first place, for it to go all the way to a hundred meters is already a very scaring power.

Krune got excited, he wanted to try more, he returned to his human form and went to talk with Yusa and the others, he explained what he found and that he wanted to use it outside.

'It is also a test to see how much tribulation lightning I can summon at once, my rainbow core definitely won't allow me to use everything, so I need to know my limit.'

Yusa and the others nodded, if they are venturing together inside the secret realm, they must know their group members full capabilities, only like that their coordination can reach its peak.

Krune's group left the cave and covered its entrance, after that they moved far away from there, if Krune's tribulation lightning is really that powerful, then he might attract a lot of attention after using it.

Krune asked Shinjas to help with a 9th stage Foundation Establishment demon beast, after looking for one during an hour, Krune's Divine Sense finally spotted one, It was a Crimson Tiger, and it was at the peak of the 9th stage at that.

Krune told Shinja to be ready to help in case things go south and went forward to confront the beast, Tigers are lonely by nature, this one was no different, thanks to that Krune didn't have to bait one out of a group and went directly to attack.

When the Crimson Tiger saw Krune is was surprised.

”To think that a 4th stage weakling would come this far inside the Danger Zone, I guess this is my luck day.”

Krune smiled after hearing that.

”Is that so?”

The tiger was taken aback with that answer, its instincts told it that something was fishy, it used its Divine Sense but only Krune appeared in it. Shinja stayed far behind exactly to prevent the tiger to notice her presence, Krune told her that if it doesn't work, he has the confidence to hold long enough for her to arrive.

After the tiger found nothing it didn't wait anymore, the feeling that something bad was going to happen was still bothering it, so it attacked straight away to not give a chance for anything to happen.

Krune saw it moving straight at him, it would be in front of him in a second, but he was calm.

'An attack that can use the total power of the lightning tribulation available to me, there is only one thing that powerful in my book.'

Krune concentrated his entire mind in the attack, his spiritual energy meridian absorbed tribulation lightning like crazy until its connection with the rainbow core was cut off by the core itself, Krune then concentrated the entire power of the lightning high above him.

”Heavens Fall!”

That's was that only thing he could think of, the attack that had given the greatest impression ever since he was born, the lightning strikes of the Heavenly Tribulation! Only that would be able to display the full might of the tribulation lightning.

The Crimson Tiger was alarmed! That strike came too fast, it had absolutely no time to even think about  a counter measure when it hit its back.

Boom!

An enormous explosion blasted the everything away, even Krune who was the owner of the attack was blasted in the distance, only able to stop himself after two hundred meters! The fog around was cleared up to five kilometers away, it even revealed Shinja and the others in the distance, they looked at that apocalyptic scene in front of them, seeing that made Shinja and the others sweat rivers.

”That's not the power a Foundation Establishment should have, even an early stage Core Formation cultivator would probably die if hit head on with such attack.”

When Krune looked at where the Crimson Tiger was, there was only a crater left behind with lightning sparks appearing everywhere, the tiger was nowhere to be seen, it had been completely pulverized, not even its demon core was left behind, Krune looked at that scene with apprehension, the power of the tribulation lightning was too absurd! But he quickly came back to himself, this explosion will definitely attract the attention of the nearby demon beasts, they need to leave!

---

Back in the gate cave, Yusa and the others were looking at Krune as if he was a monster, all that attention made him feel quite uncomfortable.

Shinja then asked him.

”How did you keep the tribulation lightning with you? I also underwent the tribulation when I reached the foundation stage with my Universe Foundation, but I had to give my all just to fend it off, let alone keep it, not to mention that I had the help of the guild back then, otherwise I would have definitely died.”

Krune then explained that he used his spiritual energy meridians to guide it inside and then divided it in several parts before guiding it to hit his planet, then he told what happened after the tribulation was over and how the remnant power of the tribulation lightning struck his rainbow core while it was being formed by the power of the world.

Shinja and the others were amazed, in the end it was just a coincidence that something like that happened, but Shinja understood better, there is no way someone would purposely strike their future core after being successful in building a Universe Foundation, it would be just seen as suicide.

Ao couldn't help but comment.

”Anyway, that strike was too powerful, that peak 9th stage Foundation Establishment Crimson Tiger was turned into dust, this is incredible!”

The other looked at him with jealously, if by drinking his blood they could gain that power, they would definitely suck him dry!

Krune looked away and pretended it wasn't much.

”I just used a little bit too much strength, that's all.”

The others mouth twitched.

Just a little bit? Is he making fun of us? If that is just a little bit then what about us? Can you first think about our sentiments?

Yusa smiled and gave them an idea.

”What if we cut him into pieces, then we fry and eat a little? Perhaps some of that power can be used.”

Shinja and Ao eyes lit up, they immediately nodded.

”Seems like an amazing idea!”

And just like that, Krune received a three sides beating, he wanted to cry but had no tears.
