”Oh, right! Sorry, I can't tell you what it was. But know that the creator of that thing is none else than your grandfather Heavin. Hahaha!”

Heavin then flew back to Krune's shoulder.

Krune looked at those two and then sighed.

”I was only passing by and had no intention of intervening in your battle. But you just had to try your luck.”

The guy who had the Time Heavenly Fragment couldn't help but ask.

”Are you perhaps hiding your cultivation?”

Krune shook his head.

”I'm really in the 6th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm. However, I did gather more Heavenly Fragments than you. Anyway, would you mind passing me your Heavenly Fragments? Don't worry, if I wanted you to die, you would be dead already.”

They lost their Divine Souls that were holding their Heavenly Fragments, so they couldn't be Heavenly Fragment Owners anymore. Just the fact that Krune wouldn't kill them is already a bonus considering their situation. At least, their bodies are already used to the Godly Energy, so they can cultivate from the start again. If they hide well, they can stay in this place for the next ten years before being teleported out.

”The victor is the king, that is the rule in our Universe. However, what would you use our Heavenly Fragments for? You are not a Heavenly Fragment Owner from our Universe, so it is useless to you, no?”

Krune smiled after hearing that.

”Isn't that obvious? I can still sell it to the other owners! Haha!”

Those two were taken aback. Someone who can get a slot to enter the Holy Land needs money? That seemed ridiculous! However, Krune wasn't in the mood to explain that he got those Slots by chance. For him, any extra income was more than welcome.

'You never know when you might run out of Spirit Stones.'

After getting those two Heavenly Fragments, Krune immediately departed, leaving those two behind. Whether they survived or not was up to them. Krune doesn't like to kill, not to mention that he was indeed the one who interrupted their duel. So he simply let them go like that.

On the way, Light Spirit couldn't help but comment.

”This mental energy is really something else. Other than my Purple Tribulation Lightning, it seems to be able to pass through almost anything.”

Heavin shook his head.

”Energy barriers can still affect my Mental Energy to a certain extent. If the opponent's cultivation is too high, it will have a hard time passing through. Of course, we should use it as a sneak attack as much as possible. Let's try to not reveal the Mental Energy existence until we get a real chance.”

Krune agreed with Heavin. Those two said that the Mental Energy Needle passed through their defenses as if there was nothing there. But Krune could tell that at least 50% of the Needle's Mental Energy was used to achieve that. Those two guys cultivations aren't much different from Krune's, either.

Now and then, Krune would ask Light Spirit if the Purple Tribulation Lightning Essence left in Fie and Feifei was still there. As it looked like, both girls were still alive, although he couldn't say anything else other than that. It took Krune three days to arrive at the entrance of the next level. During this time, Krune found out that every level had several light pillars that could send you to the next one. That also explained why he didn't meet anyone of his group back at the previous level.

Thanks to Heavin's Mental Energy Sense that could reach up to 30km in this Realm, Krune successfully avoided other participants with cultivation much higher than himself. There were also three in the Divine Path Realm. With the power of their Divine Sense, reaching more than 30km was also possible. However, Krune's Tribulation Lightning Layer was always ON, so they couldn't feel his presence. Once Heavin spotted them, Krune would be sure to stay far away.

Finally, his little group arrived at the next Light Pillar. Just like the last one, this Light Pillar extended all the way to the skies. However, the number of groups resting around was a lot smaller than the previous level. That was to be expected, though. Many cultivators and demon beasts were still in the last level, while another big bunch who had advanced are still getting used to the higher amount of Godly Energy here. That being said, they haven't come to try to enter the next level yet.

”It seems like they are avoiding starting any battle around this pillar. Now that I think about it, there was no one battling close to the previous level pillar as well. I thought that it was just a coincidence. That no one wanted to bet their coins while still on the first level. However, it seems like I was wrong.”

Light Spirit and Heavin agreed with Krune. Considering the number of participants, they should have seen one or another conflict raised between enemies. Still, there was nothing, everything was peaceful.

Just as Krune decided to ask, someone called him from behind.

”Hey, you there. Where have you gotten those Heavenly Fragments?”

Krune looked behind and noticed that a small group of five members was coming in his direction. The guy who talked to Krune was in the 1st Stage of the Void Breaking Realm, while the other varied between the 7th and 9th Sage of the Soul Forging Realm.
