486 Another year of improvemen (1/2)

Soon, another year went by. Krune had passed both the 8th and 9th Light Pillar tests without much issue. He also got another 16 Godly Energy Stones during this time. With Krune's level of adaptation to Godly Energy, he could have gone even further, but he took his time to properly cultivate. Besides, even though the number of cultivators and demon beasts around him decreased, their cultivation was not to the same. So advancing recklessly without the power to protect oneself wouldn't be a good idea.

Thanks to Heavin's Mental Energy and the Purple Tribulation Lightning Layer, Krune avoided being found for quite a few Divine Path Realms. That's why he stopped to cultivate on the Ninth Floor for the last year. The Godly Energy here was already quite high, and he could have time to absorb his Godly Energy Stones.

Krune went from the 1st Stage of the Void Breaking Realm all the way to the 4th. One must remember that every time a user of the Myriad Energies Technique breaks through a Realm, their Meridians improve. It will continue like this until the Meridians are able to do a complete conversion. Krune's Chaos Meridians could now covert almost 50% of the Elemental Source Energy into Chaos Energy instantly, while the rest was converted by his Divine Soul like any other Void breaking Realm cultivator or demon beast. Still, three small realms in just a year was really a frightening thing to see.

Another thing was that Krune had several opportunities to battle in the meantime. As the cultivation of the opponents' increased, so did their combat prowess. Krune had even bumped on another Heavenly Divine Soul, which forced him to flee straight away. There were also a lot more Heavenly Fragment owners. In the end, Krune gathered quite a few different Heavenly Fragments from other Universes.

Fortunately, he found owners of the same Universes coming at him after that. Sometimes they would immediately attack or demand the Heavenly Fragments in Krune's possession. In the end, Krune would take their fragments as well. Of course, there were those who were also strong, so Krune had an even match or even be at a disadvantage.

But it was also those ones that would understand that they wouldn't be able to defeat Krune. Without another choice, they traded their Godly Energy Stones or other things for Krune's Heavenly Fragments. This way, Krune got another 9 Godly Stones, which was also part of the reason why he is already in the 4th Stage of the Void Breaking Realm.

Krune was once again hidden somewhere in the Ninth Floor while cultivating. Heavin was also there, and just like Krune, he had improved a lot in this last year. First, he did as Krune said and practiced his Puppeteer skills while using his Mind Splitting Technique to not stop cultivating.

As for the lack of materials, it was not a problem. Some of the Heavenly Fragment Owners didn't have Godly Stones, so Krune took materials as payment. Otherwise, Heavin's Parrot Puppet wouldn't be in the Diamond Stars Level now.

Another point was that Heavin went from the 1st to the 3rd Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. Since Heavin was part of his Divine Soul, it also increased Krune power considerably. As mentioned before, the Soul Cultivation Technique that Heavin invented only had Five Stages in each Realm. Being in the third was already impressive. Krune's own Soul Cultivation was lagging more and more behind. That showed that Heavin's Cultivation Technique was really made for Divine Souls.

Of course, it was not like Krune's Soul hasn't improved. He was now in the 3rd Stage of the Soul Enhancement Realm, and his Mental Energy could spread for over 25km. Although it paled in comparison to Heavin, that was also a great weapon on his side.

Last but not least, There were Krune's Laws improvements. Krune had been 100% focused on Light Spirit's Purple Lightning Tribulation Laws, leaving all the others aside. He didn't have much issue comprehending the other Laws outside the Holy Land, but Light Spirit's ones were another story. So he had long since decided to not lose his time in the other Laws.

His Flash Annihilation Sub-Laws was already at culmination; therefore, he focused on the other two that he could see at the moment. The first was Charged Lightning Energy Sub-law, which was in the advanced Stage a year ago. This one didn't change, though. It was still at the same level. However, Krune could feel that it wouldn't take long for him to reach culmination with it as well.

The other one was the Purple Tribulation Sub-Law, responsible for the Tribulation Power in Light Spirit's Purple Lightning. This one went from the Initial Stage to the Intermediate. Krune couldn't help but feel excited about how fast his Purple Tribulation Lightning Laws were advancing. The more he comprehended, the easier it was to control. It directly affected all his attacks that were dependent on it and especially his Rainbow Domain.

At some point, Krune stopped cultivating for a moment to check his condition.

”Almost in the 5th Stage of the Void breaking Realm. I wonder just how long would I have taken to reach this level without Godly Energy.”

Light Spirit was also happy with the situation.

”Indeed. Thanks to the Godly Energy, I was able to recover quite a lot as well. What I would have taken at least ten years was done in just two. The Godly Energy of the higher levels is going to be even higher. Anyway, once you enter the 5th Stage, let's move to the 10th Floor.”

Krune nodded.

”That's the place where everyone can gather. Feifei had been in the 7th Floor last time I checked, and I'm sure she will continue to go up. On the 10th Floor, we will finally be able to find each other. Besides, I believe that Laex will probably be there as well.”

Light Spirit agreed.

”Indeed. Anyway, go back to cultivate. And before you ask, Fie's Tribulation Lightning Essence is still in her, so she is fine. Most likely, she really did hide in the 2nd Floor and stayed there, as you said.”
