Chapter 125 - The Thing That His Universe Foundation Needs The Most. (1/2)

Everyone noticed that Krune had suddenly gone silent. He then took a deep breath and said.

”In fact, I can help Yusa getting the first two Tribulation Lightning Bolts. At that time with Shinja, I wasn't strong enough, and I didn't know what was going to happen. But now I'm confident that I can take even more than two.”

Yusa immediately asked.

”Are you sure? If you are doing it just because you are worried, I will say that you are overthinking. I'm very confident in my chances.”

Krune shook his head.

”I'm doing it not only to help you but to help myself too. The Tribulation Lightning can help purify the one that I have. It will be of immense help to me in the future. Not to mention that I can take it as practice for my own Tribulation.”

Everyone couldn't help but nod. Krune's case is different from someone else helping. He is not directly intervening in the process, the Tribulation Lightning itself is the one going out of its way to strike him. So there is no risk of it getting stronger because someone is trying to help Yusa.

Krune also said that it can be used as a practice, which is a valid reason. If it is only two Lightning Bolts, considering Krune's power, it should be extremely easy for him to fend it off. Even though Krune's realm is lower than Yusa's, no one doubts that he is much stronger than her.

”Very well, Yusa and Krune should rest for today. We will depart tomorrow morning. Because we are close to the Mercenary Headquarters, no one will try anything funny. So you only need to care about your Tribulation.”

Yusa and Krune nodded. In fact, because they are in a certain way sharing the burden, it is bound to be much easier for Yusa than anyone else before. Except for Shinja, of course.

Krune was still quite tired of the whole day of alchemy concoction, so he returned to his room and rested for the day. There, he took the chance to ask Light Spirit about the details.

”Should I use my Elemental Meridians to guide the Lightning inside my universe foundation like the last time?”

Light Spirit replied

”That is basically it. I have recovered quite a bit too. So as long as you guide it to strike your planet foundation, I will be able to guide the energy directly into your Elemental Core. Besides, there is a little good surprise waiting for you as well.”

Krune interest was picked.

”What kind of surprise?”

Light Spirit only laughed and said.

”If I tell you, it won't be a surprise anymore.”

Krune felt the situation somewhat fishy, but he couldn't do anything anyway. So he just ignored it for now and went back to rest.

The next day, everyone had gathered again. Mile checked if everyone was ready, and they departed right after. The place that Yusa was going to take the Heavenly Tribulation was quite close, so it only took them one hour to arrive. Not to mention that they didn't move at full speed as well.

After arriving there, Krune passed the Soul healing Pill to Yusa for her to consume after the soul gets hurt. Krune then left and went far away. He couldn't stay close to Yusa since he would need to leave the range of the Heavenly Tribulation after he absorbs two bolts.

Yusa took out several spirit stones and received Krune's message that he was ready too. She then immediately pushed for the Breakthrough. Just like everyone else, she used her soul to feed the core inside her foundation, and it only took a few seconds for the process to start. Yusa's soul was immediately absorbed by her core. Even though she was ready, she couldn't help but grunt after the process began.

Fortunately, Yusa had also gone through the soul tempering back in the old Rainbow Sect. So she was still leagues ahead of the majority of the cultivators who tried to Breakthrough into the Core Formation Realm before. Her core kept griding her soul away until it was finally satisfied. After that, her dantian started to change into the Core Formation Realm, and she could feel the connection with her own core now.

She then looked above and could see the tribulation clouds starting to gather in the sky. Yusa then took the Soul Healing Pill out and consumed it straight away. In less than a minute, her soul became whole again, even the pain disappeared completely.

'It's just as Krune said, the pill can really heal my soul entirely before the Tribulation even finishes charging the first bolt. As expected of the Dragon Essence Liquid that even the elder of the Divine Path Sect drooled for.'

Yusa could feel that she could control her strength without any problems again. She then took out a spiritual weapon that she asked for the Blacksmith Hall to forge. Yusa's weapon looked like a pearl, and it basically had the same use as Shinja's frozen hairpin. It could enhance her control over the water element. Everything was ready. She only had to wait for the lightning bolt now.

Far away close to the border of the Heavenly Tribulation clouds, Krune was also waiting for the bolt to come.

”Light Spirit, don't you think that I'm a little too far? Will the Tribulation Lightning really feel my presence at this distance?”

Light Spirit immediately replied.

”Don't worry, I can tell that the Tribulation Lightning already felt my presence. It is definitely coming after you.”

Krune nodded and then waited as well.

It didn't take long, though. The Tribulation Lightning finalized charging and immediately struck down. But just like the last time, it made a curve and rushed directly at Krune in the distance. Krune, of course, was already expecting that, and he controlled his Elemental Meridians to take it straight away.

As soon as the Tribulation hit, the meridians guided it directly inside his Universe Foundation. Krune then used the same method as before and separated that power in several parts. After that, he immediately guided each one to his planet foundation as well.

The bolts struck it, and Krune could feel the power of the Tribulation Lightning running all over. But just a second after, that power rushed inside and entered his Elemental Core. Suddenly, some rainbow-colored smoke started to come out of it. Light Spirit then said.

”Don't worry, this is the impurities I talked about. I'm refining the power of the Tribulation Lightning inside your core now. I need you to send more bolts faster. If you continue at this speed, I won't be ready for when the next one comes.”
