Chapter 116 - Not Enough Energy. (2/2)

Krune nodded and didn't say anything else.

Two hours passed, and everyone in Krune's group had already thrown all their spirit stones at the formation compressing the land. But the compression was still only 70% done. Krune could only use his Tribulation Lightning to finish the last 10% in one go. At the moment, it would be enough to force it to the end.

”Hasik, is it really not possible to take the sect's spirit stones?”

”Unfortunately, it's not possible. All the spirit stones are protected by the Dimension Formation. You would need to break through that to get them. Even I can't break that rule, it was something set up by the Mohie Sect elders back then. Only if someone passes the disciple tests, I will be able to take the spirit stones according to the reward.”

Mile saw that they were running out of time and then said.

”Krune, you own me two now.”

She then threw all her spirit stones from her spatial ring inside the formation. Surprisingly, Mile was quite rich. She had over twenty thousand Rank Four spirit stones and almost five thousand Rank Five ones. With the new surge of spiritual energy, the compressing speed of the formation increased once again.

Boom!

”Not good, the cultivators are already outside the inner city. They are attacking the protection formation.”

Krune was puzzled with that information.

”Didn't you say in the past that it could resist the attacks of Divine Soul Realm cultivators?”

”I did. But there isn't only one or two there, there are over ten of them. But that isn't the main issue, the problem is that one of the Soul Forging Realm cultivators is there too.”

Everyone around Krune heard that and started to panic. They need to leave right now, or they will be caught by the enemy.

”Shinja and Ao, you guys guide the wisps and demon bests to the forth gate. I will be there after I finish here.”

Mile immediately intervened.

”No can do. The forth gate is inside the core region of the Raskie Danger Zone, right? The moment it opens from the inside, the Soul Forging Realm protectors of the Danger Zone will immediately notice it. You are basically sending them to their deaths if you do that.”

Ao and the rest felt a chill on their backs. Ruik then couldn't help but ask.

”In that case, what do we do? If our only gate in already like that, aren't we simply trapped?”

Shinja then shook her had.

”I know what Mile meant, once the fourth gate is open, it will attract the attention of the Soul Forging Realm protectors of the Raskie Danger Zone. But that doesn't mean that they will arrive as soon as it opens. As long as we are inside of the Spatiox Box Dimension and Krune uses his Tribulation Lightning concealment, they won't notice him leaving.”

Mile nodded.

”You are right. Sadly, there are too many high-level wisps here. Otherwise, I could still leave this place with Krune, Ao, and Shinja right before everyone's eyes, and they wouldn't be able to do a thing.”

She was talking about using Krune's identity as a Divine Path Sect Contestant to stop them from attacking. All they would do is to force Krune to show everything he has in his spatial ring or spatial box. Unfortunately, he can't do that.

The barrier was only 5% away from the last 10%, where Krune could use his Tribulation Lightning. The problem is that the further it is compressed, the higher the number of spirit stones needed. Mile alone was responsible for almost half of the total amount of spiritual energy. Still, it was only able to compress the barrier from 70% to 85%.

It was then that Hasik sent another message.

”Krune, not yet? The protection formation of the inner city won't hold anymore!”

Krune was out of ideas, he already asked Little Light if they could force the extra 5% to compress as well, but Little Light immediately denied the idea. He guaranteed to Krune that the power they have now isn't enough to do that. If he tried, he would run out of Tribulation Lightning power, and the last 5% would be even harder to overcome. It has to be 10% at the very minimum!

Everyone was looking at the sweat-drenched. Lakin was especially furious that he couldn't do anything at the moment for his master. It was then that an idea came in mind. Lakin looked at Cassy beside him and then greeted his teeth. He returned back to his wisp form and rushed to the formation. He was planning to use his life to feed it.

Krune saw that and was alarmed!

”Lakin, stop right now! This is your master's orders!”

Krune then returned to his wisp form as well and was just about to intercept his disciple when suddenly, Mile appeared in front of Lakin and grabbed his core.

”Krune, focus on the formation. I will hold him.”

Lakin was struggling to leave her grasp.

”Let me go! If I don't do it, all the wisps will become cultivation resources and die!”

Unfortunately for Lakin, there is no way he could get away from an 8th stage Core Formation Realm Demon Beast.

Krune saw that and let out a sigh of relief. He then focused on the formation once more. But the problem at hand was still the same, there was no more energy, and the natural spiritual energy from heaven and earth was far from sufficient. It was then that he heard a voice somewhat familiar.

”Well, I guess it's my for this old geezer to say farewell.”
