488 Zero (1/2)

Somewhere on the 9th floor, a burst of Spiritual Energy suddenly came out of an inconspicuous area. It spread for quite a few kilometers before finally settling down. It's just that there wasn't anyone close at that moment, so no one saw it happening.

Krune then came out of that place a few hours later. If someone checked his cultivation now, they would see that Krune is now in the 5th Stage of the Void Breaking Realm!

”Phew... finally had my breakthrough. Alright, guys, let's go to the 9th Light Pillar.”

Heavin quickly put his things back into the Spatial Ring and flew to Krune's shoulder.

”So we are finally moving up. Only there will we be able to encounter with Feifei and the others. However, we don't know if Laex and Cinty were waiting in that place.”

Krune shook his head.

”Laex will probably stay there since he was together with Liriu, Tiane, and Ruik. He definitely understood that they got separated. As for Cinty, she decided to move alone when we separated. So she might not know about the several Dimensional Realms per floor. Anyway, we will find out once we reach there. First, I need to deal with the 9th Light Pillar Test.”

Without wasting more time, Krune paid attention to the Godly Energy flow and departed. He was really fast now, not being any slower than a 9th Stage Void Breaking Realm. In fact, he wasn't even using his Tribulation Lightning to achieve that.

Around two days later, Krune was already able to see his destination. Soon, Heavin detected the presence of others around it. Of course, it wasn't many of them. At most, fifty or so. One must remember that each floor has more than a single Light Pillar for one to chose. Also, due to the fact that Krune is on a higher floor level than most, the number of participants kept decreasing. By far, this was the Light Pillar with the least amount of participants close to it that Krune had seen until now.

However, Krune couldn't find a single cultivator or demon beast with cultivation similar to his. The majority was at the peak of the Void Breaking Realm with just a few at the 8th Stage. Not to mention that at least ten or so were already in the Divine Path Realm.

Sure enough, the moment Krune appeared there, several eyes showed surprised expressions. They all thought that they wouldn't see someone with such low cultivation anymore.

Krune then looked around and smiled at one of the Void Breaking Realm guys.

”Hey, brother. Do you know what is this 9th Light Pillar test about?”

The guy narrowed his eyes.

”And why should I tell you?”

Krune didn't mind it, though. But just as he was about to talk again, another cultivator called him out.

”I don't mind telling you, but I want the Heavenly Fragment of my Universe that you have with you.”

”Great! Which one of those is from your Universe?”

Krune then took out twenty-two Heavenly Fragments from his bag. As mentioned before, Heavenly Fragments can't enter Spatial Rings, so Krune had to carry it around.

When everyone saw that, they were shocked! Just how many Heavenly Fragment Owners did this guy kill until now? Immediately, all the disdain on the faces of the cultivators and demon beasts around disappeared. It was evident that Krune's cultivation didn't display what he really is capable of doing.

The guy who made the question also narrowed his eyes. At first, he didn't care whether Krune would give him his Universe's Heavenly Fragment or not. If he refused, he would simply take it by force. But after seeing all those Heavenly Fragments on Krune's hands, that idea disappeared like smoke. The guy then took a deep breath and showed a smile while pointing at a specific Heavenly Fragment.

”Cough, cough. It's this one, brother. Will you really trade with me for the information?”

Krune took that Heavenly Fragment and threw it at the cultivator before saying.

”Yeap. I have many them, but it is hard to find those who want to trade with me for them. In that case, I might as well take this chance since I have no use for them myself.”

The guy looked excited at his Universe Heavenly Fragment and quickly put it away. Once he absorbs it, his cultivation will increase, so he will need to break through into the Divine Path Realm. That being said, he needed to first find a safe place to do it first.

”Very well. This 9th Pillar is not a test of cultivation. The only thing that you can use is Godly Energy. Inside, you will find a big transparent orb. That thing will check just how good you are with Godly Energy control. All you need to do is touch it and send the environment's Godly Energy inside the orb.”

”However, the more Godly Energy you send inside that orb, the harder it becomes to continue doing so. Your results will depend on how much Godly Energy you can fill it with.”

Krune nodded, satisfied.

”No wonder there is no one injured here. This is not a dangerous test to start with.”

The guy nodded.

”The amount necessary to pass the test is 50%. Anyway, that's basically it. Once you pass the test, you will finally enter the 10th floor where everyone gathers. Just be careful because, with your cultivation, quite a few cultivators and demon beasts will target you up there.”

Krune laughed and didn't mind. He knew that the reason no one attacked him here was that he showed all those Heavenly Fragments. So even the few Early Stages Divine Path Realm ones are quite aware of him.

Without wasting any time, Krune moved to the 9th Light Pillar. But it was then that Eight Godly Stones appeared above Krune! That was Krune's reward from the last Light Pillar, which he could only retrieve after he got to the next one.
