482 The Sixth Light Pillar (1/2)

There was one thing risky about the Light Pillars now. From the sixth level and onwards, there would be no safe zones anymore. However, if Krune wants to advance, he will need to go there where the Light Pillar is. Not only that. If he wants to take any Godly Stones Reward, he will have to summon it in front of everyone around the Light Pillar. Fortunately or not, Krune did very bad in the last one, so he didn't have any to take this time.

”Heavin, keep your Mental Energy spread while I use the Purple Tribulation Lightning Layer. We will check what is around the next Light Pillar like this. If it is too dangerous, we will choose another one.”

Heavin agreed with Krune while they traveled against the direction of the Godly Energy flow. Finally, they arrived at the next one. However, the surroundings were completely empty, there wasn't a single living soul as far as they could see.

”A trap?”

Light Spirit agreed.

”Most likely, although you can't see them, I can feel their Divine Senses.”

Heavin then pointed at a certain direction.

”Found them. In fact, there are quite a few different cultivators and demon beasts hidden around the Light Pillar. However, it doesn't seem like they are friends with each other, either. They all have different clothes and seem to be of different races.”

Krune pondered a bit before asking.

”Can you see their cultivation level with your Mental Energy?”

Heavin nodded.

”The majority is at the Void Breaking Realm, with just a few at the Divine Path. That's weird. They definitely know about each other, so why are they staying hidden? Did they reach an agreement to attack anyone who approaches together?”

Krune shook his head.

”From what you are telling me, there are way too many of them to be worth it. There must be another reason behind it. Something that has nothing to do with other cultivators and demon beasts that arrive. Heavin, check if there is anyone around who isn't too close to the majority, we will go ask what is happening.”

Heavin nodded before pointing in the direction of a rather weak demon beast. The guy was only at the 5th of the Void Breaking Realm and was keeping quite some distance from the others.

”Sorry, friend. Are you alone?”

That demon beast almost jumped in fright. He kept his Divine Sense spread all time, but he hadn't seen Krune approaching him at all. It was then that he looked behind and saw a small ball of purple lightning floating there. Obviously, it was Krune's group.

”Who are you, how can you see me?”

Krune just smiled.

”Don't worry, I don't plan to do anything to you, friend. It's just that I noticed that there are a lot of people and beasts hiding around this Light Pillar. Is there a reason for it?”

The demon beast looked around and didn't find anyone else.

'Seems like it is not am ambush.'

”No one is hiding because they want, but because of the Light Pillar.”

Krune got puzzled but waited for the guy to continue the explanation.

”If you pay good attention, you should be able to see a difference in this pillar, right?”

Krune looked at the Light Pillar and noticed that some red marks could be seen at its base. The previous ones didn't have such a thing.

”Yes, it's those marks.”

The demon beast nodded.

”Those are protection marks. They scan the surroundings at random times, looking for targets to attack. That is why everyone is hidden. Once those marks find a target, this unfortunate person or beast will be attacked by the formation deep in the underground. Anyone under the Divine Path Realm would most likely die to it.”

Krune couldn't help but ask.
