It is not like Krune had never tried to create a tenth Spiritual Meridian before. In fact, he tried several times. But all the tries ended in failure, so eventually, he gave up. However, Heavin is right. Without an Elemental meridian to support the Chaos one, the tenth Chaos Meridian can't be completed.

It was then that Krune had an idea.

”It is not that I can't create a tenth Spiritual Meridian. It is just that there are only Nine Pseudo Spiritual Meridians to start with. It is the process of fusing all nine Pseudo Meridians together that gives birth to an Elemental Meridian. Each Pseudo Meridian is different from the other, so as long as I create a new type of Pseudo Meridan, I should be able to make a new fusion.”

Heavin then asked.

”If the limit of Spiritual Meridians is due to the number of Pseudo Meridians, then if you create more and more Pseudo Meridians, shouldn't you be able to create more and more Spiritual ones?”

Krune shook his head.

”It is not that simple. Now that I think about it, the creation of Nine Pseudo Meridians was already connected with the existence of the Nine Universe Foundations. Since there is no other foundation, there is obviously no other Pseudo Meridian. If I want to create a new Pseudo Meridian, I can only use something that doesn't exist. That means, my only chance is to create a new Pseudo Purple Tribulation Lightning Meridian and move from there.”

Krune didn't waste any time and went all the way back to the very first form of the Myriad Energies Technique. Since he stopped the creation of the Chaos Meridian, Light Spirit is not absorbing the Elemental Halo anymore. Now that he was free, Krune started to ask several questions while he devised a new extension of the First Form.

As for the Tribulation Lightning Chaos Meridian, Krune dispersed it. He couldn't keep that in an incomplete state for long to start with. But that wasn't a problem. The majority of the Tribulation Lightning Essence that Krune used so far was basically to learn how to create its Chaos Meridian. Now that he went all the way up to near completion, the remaining Halo Powers is more than enough to repeat the process.

Working on the first form wasn't a simple task. That's because the first form would lead to changes in the Second and Third as well. Not only that, but Krune's Fourth Form would need to change a little so that it would work using the new Tenth Meridian as support, which wasn't the case before.

In the end, Krune, Heavin, and Light Spirit worked together in the new forms for another entire month. Eldrin had to even tell the others outside that Krune was fine and seemed to be working in something new.

”Alright, let's give it a try!”

Failure after failure, Krune kept trying to create the new Tribulation Lightning Pseudo Meridian. Heavin and Light Spirit also accompanied the changes, and they would discuss with Krune what went wrong with every try.

Finally, another week later, Krune was successful in creating his first Tenth Pseudo Meridian based on Light Spirit's Tribulation Lightning.

When Light Spirit saw that, he couldn't help but think.

'If he can create a new meridian based on unnatural laws foundation like mine, does that mean that other Laws of the same type can be done like this too?'

As mentioned a long time ago, Light Spirit wasn't the only one to create a personal law separated from the Universe's one. So this possibility was very high.

Krune didn't know anything like that, and even if he knew, it would be useless. After all, it is not like he can find a new law out of nowhere. Besides, he was way too happy with his new Tribulation Lightning Pseudo Meridian to care about that now.

”You can feel excited later. Now comes the hard part, fuse the Nine common Pseudo Meridians with the tenth one to create a totally new Spiritual Meridian. I believe I don't need to tell you that something made using my Tribulation Lightning as a base will not be very welcome of other powers.”

Krune's excitement immediately disappeared.

”I know. But I have to make do with what I got.”

Krune immediately took out hundreds of Spirit Stones from his Spatial Ring and started the fusion of all ten Pseudo Meridian. Sure enough, the moment that the other nine touched the Tribulation Lightning one, their structure was destroyed almost instantly.

”This... is gonna take some time.”
