469 The Willpower Tes (1/2)

Frahem looked at Krune, shocked! Everyone considers Godly Stones treasures. How can he simply give one away this easy?

”This...”

Krune laughed and said.

”Don't worry, this is not like wanting you to owe me anything. Although I have several things that make me stronger than others, I also started my path at the very bottom. I understand very well just how much work you put into reaching this point, probably even more than myself. So just consider it a meeting gift.”

Frahem didn't know what to say, but in the end, he just nodded.

”Thank you.”

Krune nodded.

”I hope to see your name at the top of the third Light Pillar Ranking. I believe you can definitely do this.”

Krune then took another Godly Stone out of his Spatial Ring and continued to cultivate. As for what everyone else was thinking, Krune didn't give a damn!

Twelve days and Six Godly Stones later, Krune's body finally got used to the Godly Energy of this level. It was now time to enter the next one. Krune stood up and walked in the direction of the Light Pillar. Obviously, everyone noticed this. Krune had been the center of attention in the past few days while using his Godly Stones, so everyone wanted to see how this top ranker would fare in the Will Test.

After pouring his Spiritual Energy into the Light Pillar, Krune was immediately teleported over. At the same time, everyone outside received the images of what was happening inside through Divine Sense. Between all of them, it could be said that only Frahem was hopping for his success.

Inside the test, Krune opened his eyes and looked forward, the same Snowing Path appeared in front of him. At the same time, he heard a voice in his mind.

”The test of Will. You must reach the 8th level if you wish to advance. You may start now.”

Krune smiled and began to walk forward. Sure enough, as soon as he gave the first step, the cold energy seeped into his body and soul. Any type of protection seemed to be useless against it.

”Indeed, this is a good test of will. Let's keep going.”

Although the cold was there, Krune didn't seem concerned about it. Cold? I'm a wisp, I never cared about the cold! Of course, this test wasn't simply the same as a winter cold. It could also affect Krune, just like everyone else. It was just that Krune paid it no mind.

Krune's plan was pretty simple...

Ignore it! Ignore it all! Pretend that such a thing doesn't even exist.

Although it seemed easy, that was not the case. Several other cultivators and demon beasts also tried to use this method. But in the end, the majority failed.

The reason was quite simple too, it all depended on their willpower! There is a big difference between 'wanting' to ignore something and 'being able' to really do so. However, for Krune, who tempered his Soul with Purple Tribulation Lightning, the cold's discomfort was a joke!

”Just how much of a monster can this guy be?”

”He must be pretending. I don't believe anyone can resist those two realms without feeling anything.”

”Well, there had been a few before us who passed it without problems. So I guess it is fine for a top ranker to be this good, no?”

”Indeed. Let's wait and see if he can really make it past the 8th realm.”

Krune quickly arrived at the third level, where death energy started to seep inside his body. It wasn't as easy to ignore and the cold and heat levels. Still, it was far from being able to hinder Krune's progress.

Then came the Fourth Level. There, could saw Feifei, Fie, and several other friends of his. Krune had to admit that he felt the urger to stop by to talk with all of them. There was also a lot of food he had never seen before, which increased that urge to stop by. However, he still ignored it all and pressed forward.

Then came the fifth level, the sixth, seventh, and finally eighth! Krune had now granted his green pass to the fourth Dimensional Realm. However, he smiled and continued. He needs Godly Stones, so he will make as far as possible.

Of course, even Krune was finding it somewhat hard to resist the attacks on his will at this point. He understood that he definitely wouldn't make it to the last level. But that isn't a problem. He had checked the willpower test ranking before, the highest placed one walked 5039 meters of the 14th level.

Krune pressed forward.

9th level...

10th level...

11th level...

Finally, he arrived at the 12th level. This was a pain-inducing realm. It looked like a battlefield, and the warriors here would always attack your body. Swords, maces, spears, arrows, you name it. Once an injury appeared, it was instantly healed, though.
