Chapter 550: Top 16 (1/2)

The competition continued. Surprisingly, the eleventh group's seeded participant lost in the very first battle. The winner was a cultivator from Enan Universe, a relatively remote one that almost no one knew about. His name was Fabio Koltem, a Heavenly Divine Soul Owner at the peak of the Divine Path Realm.

In the thirteenth Group, Krune first battle was about to happen.

”Thirteenth Group, Luvile Universe, Krune.”

”Thirteenth Group, Lowaz Universe, Vasto.”

Krune's first opponent turned out to be a demon beast as well. For the participants that had no access to the broadcast, none of them knew about Krune that much. They only knew that he was a wisp, but that was basically everything. Still, a wisp was selected as a seeded participant, so Vasto did not lower his guard. As much as Vasto might think low of wisps, he knows that the Dalin Universe wouldn't select a wisp if he didn't have the strength to back his position.

Both Krune and Vasto returned to their original forms as soon as they went up in the arena. Vasto turned out to be a Dark Spiked Spider, a rare type of insect demon beast from the Lowaz Universe. Before becoming a Heavenly Divine Soul Owner, he had a Death Heavenly Fragment and Major Divine Soul. As one can imagine, Vasto is proficient with Dark Laws.

”Begin!”

Vasto didn't dare to be negligent and immediately released his Domain.

”Dark Web Domain!”

Immediately, the world around him turned dark, death energy could clearly be felt, and the Dark laws spread everywhere. Not only that, but one could also see very thin strings of Dark Colored Energy that spread inside his Domain like a real web.

Suddenly, thousands of small spiders looking exactly like Vasto began to crawl on the webs inside his Domain.

Krune looked at that and released his Domain as Well.

”A fire domain it is.”

Krune released the very first Domain he had ever created, the Fire Domain. It's just that he had never given it a name up to this day.

The world around him went totally red. Different from the past, Krune's Fire Laws were in another league altogether. With four fire sub-laws at culmination, it simply couldn't be compared anymore.

Krune hasn't used his Tribulation Lightning Domain until now, let alone the Rainbow Domain. That being said, he decided to keep them hidden for fiercer battles in the future. Besides, his Fire Domain has the support of his Myriad Energies Technique, Soul Power higher than anyone else in this competition, and his master's Element Regulation Technique. In strength alone, he would only lose to someone who already merged all the fire sub-laws into the Major Law of Fire.

Both Domains clashed as Krune and Vasto began to launch their own attacks. As it turned out, the two were long-ranged attackers. Vasto's Domain acted more like protection, which helped to keep others outside. Of course, it also supported Vasto's attacks.

Dark and Fire laws and elements clashed against each other without stop. Blades, Rays, Explosions, Decay, Shattered Space, you name it. In the end, Krune and Vasto entered in a battle of attrition. Of course, Krune hasn't released a single Purple Tribulation Lightning attack so far. He only controlled his Shields, which were majorly covered with Light Laws/Elements, to defend against Vasto while using Fire Laws/Elements to counter-attack.

It turned out that Krune and Vasto's battle became the most prolonged, extending for over 20 minutes. Both Vasto and Krune reached the conclusion that they were very confident in their Spiritual Energy reserve, so they hoped that the other would run out of it first. Of course, for those who knew about the Elemental and Chaos Meridians, the result was evident the moment this attrition battle started.

Finally, after the battle underwent for 33 minutes, Vasto's Domain collapsed. He simply didn't have more energy to keep it running. He looked at Krune's Fire Domain, which was still shinning like a bright sun.

”I give up.”

He knew that he had made the wrong call. He didn't expect that a Wisp, especially one with lower cultivation, would have so much energy available.
