452 Pearls Completed (1/2)
It took Laex an entire day to wake up. He was too weak at the moment, so Krune and the others helped him recover. Around a week later, he finally could move normally. However, it would take another two weeks for Lex to go back to his peak state.
As expected, Laex wanted to try using the Purple Flame Dragon Pearl straight away. Krune, of course, stubbornly denied. It didn't matter how many times he asked, Krune did not relent. He didn't even show the Purple Flame Dragon Pearl to him.
Finally, three weeks went by, and Laex could be said to be back to his peak state.
”Give me, give me! Let me see it.”
Krune sighed and finally took out the Pearl. As soon as Laex saw it, he felt the connection between his Dragon Blood and the Pearl. But before passing it over, Krune warned.
”If you feel like you are losing control over your energy, immediately cancel the fusion, understood?”
Laex nodded vigorously.
”Don't worry, it won't happen. Even though it is a Purple Flame Dragon Pearl, I can feel the compatibility with my body. Most likely, what you think isn't going to happen.”
”That would be good.”
Laka was also here for this moment. Krune asked him to challenge Laex, after all. Laex, of course, accepted it too. He really wanted to see if the Purple Flame Dragon Pearl could make up for the Heavenly Divine Soul.
Laex then absorbed the Pearl, and it fused with his body almost instantly. Both of them could be said to be a single being now.
When the Pearl Fused with Laex, its power that had been contained inside broke free and spread through Laex's body. Immediately, Laex felt his overall strength swelling. His body got sturdier, he could feel the laws and elements easier, and his Spiritual, Elemental Source, and Chaos energy output increased. At the 9th Stage of the Void breaking Realm, Laex could fight ordinary 2nd Stage Divine Path Realm cultivators and demon beasts.
However, with the Purple Flame Pearl's addition, he felt like even a 5th Stage wouldn't be much of a problem. A standard Dragon Pearl would never bring his strength up to this point.
Of course, it wasn't just good news.
If he wanted to sustain this power, a lot more energy was necessary, so he would definitely lose in a battle of endurance. Also, he could feel sparks of Purple Tribulation Lightning running in his Foundation. It stimulated his Energies, but at the same time, making them a lot harder to control.
Fortunately, what Krune mentioned didn't happen. The Pearl wasn't able to make Laex's energies go berserk. Krune let out a sigh of relief after confirming that.
”Good! It seems like it is doable.”
Krune then looked at Laka and nodded.
”Alright, show me what you two can do.”
They opened a Spatial Gate and moved to a deserted place in the Wisp Main World. There, Laex and Laka immediately started their fight.
Krune also noticed a change in Laex's power. Any form of elemental attack that Laex used always had a purple hue to them. That was obviously the effect of the Purple Flame spreading through Laex's body. It really increased the attack power a lot more than common Dragon Pearls.
In the end, the fight ended without a victor. Although Laex was ahead in combat power, his consumption of energy was a lot higher. Also, it was evident that he was having a hard time controlling them. By the time Laex came back, Krune had already sent him a Divine Sense message.
