456 Star (1/2)

As soon as Krune's group appeared on the other side, they were assaulted by the Holy Land's Godly Energy. Everyone immediately put up a Spiritual Energy barrier, but even it seemed of little effect. Fortunately, the Godly Energy at the entrance is at its weakest.

The Holy Land has several levels, the higher you go, the stronger the Godly Energy. Not only that, but even the Spiritual Energy is a lot more concentrated than outside. Hence, cultivation speed is also better inside.

Krune and everyone else didn't take long to get used to that Energy. After all, it wasn't even a thousandth of its actual level. Feifei and Tiane, who were holding the pocket dimension spatial boxes, then allowed a little of that Energy to sip inside. They wanted to see if Fie and Liriu would have any issues resisting it.

Because Fie and Liriu are still in the Core Formation Realm, their defenses are a lot weaker than the others. However, they were still able to hold against that amount.

Seeing that everyone was okay, Krune nodded and started to look around.

”It seems like we started inside a forest or something like that.”

Laka agreed with him.

”This is the first level of the Holy Land. If you look around, you can see the other cultivators and demon beasts too.”

Indeed. Even though they appeared in the middle of a forest, it was still possible to see quite a few participants from other groups. However, it was calmer than Krune thought it to be.

”No one seems to be in the mood to attack others it seems.”

Alacanta also noticed that.

”The Holy Land is very dangerous, so no one wants to be engaged in a fight before assuring that their place is safe.”

Laex then suggested.

”Anyway, let's leave this place. There are way too many cultivators and demon beasts around. We better find a place where it is calmer.”

Krune and the others nodded before starting moving. Things like stopping to cultivate and checking the benefits of the Godly Energy could be done later. However, just as they began to do that, all the trees around them began to act weird. Not only them but around all the other participants as well. Suddenly, hundreds of roots shot from the ground and attacked the participants.

Krune and the others immediately counter-attacked with their skills. Still, they quickly found out that Energy attacks seemed to have minimal effect on those roots. Without wasting time, Krune brought out his Flying Shields and used them to block the attacks. Everyone else also took out their weapons and did the same.

”Let's fly, stying in the ground is too dangerous.”

The group immediately took flight... or so they tried. It turned out that they couldn't go over 5 or so meters above the ground. Sure enough, this Holy Land wouldn't be so nice to the point of allowing the participants to avoid the dangers that easily.

”Follow me!”

Except for Laka and Alacanta, the rest didn't even think before going after Feifei. But seeing how much they trusted her, they gritted their teeth and followed as well.

One thing impressive about these roots is that it seems like their strength was determined by the target. Although they had the same size, the roots that attacked Alacanta were several times stronger than the ones attacking Krune. Still, Krune could tell that if his group didn't have a combat power far above their cultivation level, some would have been caught already.

”What a terrifying control. Whatever is controlling these roots is able to do so against everyone in my Divine Sense range. Those are millions of commands at different levels of power. Really impressive. Feifei, is this a Formation?”

Feifei, who was flying in the front, quickly nodded. As mentioned, one couldn't go over 5 meters, but that didn't mean they couldn't fly.

”There is no doubt. This is entirely different from Mohie Zarks Inheritance. That time, the roots acted on their own, and there was no control to be seen. But now, the roots know exactly who to attack and how much strength to use. Only a formation can achieve something like this. Not to mention that it is a terrifying high grade one.”

The fact that their skills were weak against the roots proved that Godly Energy was also involved in it. Also, Krune didn't want to use his Purple Tribulation Lightning at the moment. This kind of power is very eye-catching. Although the chances are meager, everyone in this place has incredible backgrounds, so some probably know his characteristics. He thought that it was better to not risk it. Not to mention that Alacanta is still here, and she didn't know about Krune's real identity.

Fortunately, his group was able to fend off the roots all the way to the forest's exit. It is not that they were having an easy time, but that Feifei was the one leading the group. She was able to guide everyone through the safest route all the way out.

As soon as they exited the forest, the roots stopped pursuing. Sure enough, those roots were more like a test for all the participants. If you couldn't even pass through it, you would have no right to be in this place.

Feifei couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

”Fortunately, those tree roots didn't have any cultivation level, so it was easy to predict a safe route. Otherwise, I doubt I would be of much help. I tried to use my Destiny Divine Soul to understand this place, but I can't see anything at all. This is definitely the highest level Dimensional Realm I have ever seen.”
