282 Myriad Elements Protection Formation (1/2)
Lire couldn't see that ball of Purple Lightning cultivation. All he could do was judge its strength through the power it was showing now. Suddenly, he heard Hiro's voice from behind.
”Lire, I won't intervene as long as it is just you, but don't say that I didn't warn you. Hahaha!”
Those words immediately put Lire on his guard. The last thing that he wanted was to get injured in this place. No one knows what is beyond that barrier, so he has to stay in peak condition for and if it opens.
Lire then snorted and said.
”Whatever, I don't have time to deal with you.”
He then turned back and returned to his sect exploration team.
No one from the other teams thought that Lire was afraid. If anything, they believe that he was right in retreating now. They, too, would have done the same thing. This isn't the time to start a battle, especially one that you don't know if you can even win.
The arcs of purple lightning around Krune then disappeared, and he looked at Feifei while sending a Divine Sense message.
”You knew it was going to happen, right?”
Feifei laughed a little and shook her head.
”Before he appeared, I wasn't using my Destiny Core since I didn't feel any danger. Only after he came for you did I check his destiny energy. His cultivation level is on the other side of the Divine Soul Realm, so I could only predict a few seconds in the future. It was only then that I found out that Hiro's bluff was going to happen and work.”
Krune sighed and returned his attention to Hiro.
”Well, then. Back to the previous topic. What do you guys plan on doing now?”
Hiro laughed a little and then asked.
”What about you guys introduce yourselves first?”
Only now did Krune remember that they really haven't done that yet.
”Oh, sorry. I'm Jolk.”
Tinnian and the others proceeded to introduce themselves as well.
Hiro nodded and then pointed to a specific direction. Krune's group looked there and could see a pillar standing just in front of the barrier. Hiro and everyone else then went there to take a look.
That pillar was quite small, no more than 2 meters high. They could see that there was some kind of seal in front of it. Hiro then turned to everyone and said.
”There is a total of six pillars, including this one. This is probably because there are 6 entrances to the Elemental Path. So each power is holding one of those. Touch the seal, and you will understand why we are waiting for more cultivators and demon beasts.”
Tinnian was the first one to do that. Soon, his expression became weird.
”What is it?”
Tinnian sighed and said.
”Check it by yourselves, and you understand as well.”
”Only when twenty marks of the same type are gathered, shall this path be open.”
Krune immediately understood why Tinnian showed a weird expression. The other teams are too far behind, so there will be very little time to explore after they gather enough marks.
”I see, the mark it is talking about is the one we received before entering the Elemental Path, correct? Considering that your exploration team has 7 members in total, we now have a total of 13 members. We still need another 7 to come before we can disable this seal.”
Hiro nodded.
”That's why we are waiting here, and it's the same for the other 5 groups. If we just had someone who could use all elemental laws, then we wouldn't need to wait for it. But to find a Divine Soul Realm cultivator or demon beast who can use Laws is already very difficult, let alone all of them. Even I can only use one.”
Feifei and Krune looked at each other.
”What do you mean?”
Hiro then drew a seal with spiritual energy on the air and sent it to the Protection Formation. As soon as it touched the barrier, Krune and everyone else noticed several colored lights coming out from it.
Krune immediately said.
”The five elemental Laws.”
Hiro looked at Krune, or better, Jolk, surprised.
”You can tell? You really aren't the run of the mill demon beast after all.”
Hiro then looked back at the colored lights and continued.
