Chapter 579: Law of Disaster (1/2)

A Major Law is necessary to support the breakthrough. That's because the body is approaching the Divine Realms. As one can imagine, Laws are deeply related to the heavens themselves, and it is this connection that allows one to make a breakthrough. However, without a full merged Law, this connection won't be strong enough.

As Krune made his breakthrough, the power of the Divine that he felt when he entered the Divine Path Realm increased. Finally, he felt like he could see that power, although he couldn't touch it. That's also why it is called the Divine View Realm. This is a Realm where one will begin to understand the power of the Divine. The next nine stages would be focused on its comprehension.

As Krune's cultivation increased, his Divine Soul transformed once more. It was stirred by the connection of Krune's only Major Law, Fire, and the power of the Divine. It was a qualitative change that developed his relationship with the laws of the world even more.

As the breakthrough progressed, Krune's Godly Meridians absorbed the Godly Stones' energy faster and faster to support the change. He could hear the Godly Stones around him, breaking one after another before turning into dust.

Suddenly, Luvile felt a ripple of energy around the arena their group was staying. However, it lasted for only a fraction of a second, and it was almost imperceptible. If not for the fact that Luvile was in a full alert mode, he wouldn't have noticed it at all. Luvile then spread his Divine Sense around, but he couldn't see anything.

”Am I imagining things?”

Luvile asked Harold with a Divine Sense message if he had noticed any changes. Harold answered that he got nothing, though.

Krune heard that and asked.

”Is something wrong?”

Luvile pondered a bit as he kept looking around. However, there was really no changes.

”Nothing. I think I'm just too used to your luck that I'm starting to imagining things.”

Krune pretended that he didn't hear that comment and continued his breakthrough.

Finally, the breakthrough ended after most of the Godly Stones around were depleted.

As soon as that happened, Krune and Luvile looked to the sky and to the surroundings. Krune's Shields were orbiting around him as Arcs of Purple Lightning emerged from his body. Both Krune and Luvile were ready for anything.

Seeing that, not only Iem, but even Harold looked at them like they were idiots.

A few minutes later, the area around Krune continued silent. No Heavenly Tribulation or some weird phenomena appeared at all.

”There is... nothing?”

Luvile kept looking as he answered.

”Seems like it.”

Finally, both of them relaxed. Krune's Shields retreated as he returned to his human form. Of course, he was still alert to his surroundings just in case.

Iem then turned to the two before asking.

”Are you done?”

Krune nodded after checking the area with his Divine Sense and Mental Energy once more.

Contrary to Krune and Luvile's expectations, the breakthrough was over just like that.

”Well, we already had to go through two ascensions tribulations in the past two realms. Perhaps, the heavens took pity on us, allowing the breakthrough to go without a hitch.”

Luvile snorted after hearing that.

”The last thing I expect is that the heavens would take pity on anyone. Whatever, as long as nothing happened, then that's for the best.”

Krune and Iem then stepped on the teleport formation they came from and activated it to go back. The world around them warped, and they vanished with a flash of silver light. However...

”Sure enough, something had to happen.”

Krune's group appeared in a completely different place from what they were expecting. Instead of going back to the building where they paid for renting the land for a day, they arrived elsewhere. Not only that but the teleport formation they came from disappeared right after they arrived.

Luvile couldn't help but sigh.

”How could we forget? It's not like something wrong had to happen with the breakthrough itself. As long as you are involved, everything around us has potential risks after you advance to the next realm. This is kind of a Krune-law already.”

Krune's mouth twitched.

”What the hell is a Krune-law?”

Luvile added.

”You might want to call it the Krune's Law of Disaster too. It's quite fitting.”

Krune felt like crying but had no tears. He really didn't do anything at all!

Krune and Luvile's conversation was only between themselves, so Iem and Harold didn't hear.

Iem's eyes then narrowed as he looked at the land around them.

”Where the hell is this place?

Krune and Iem seemed to have arrived inside some kind of cave. They had to use their Godly Energy to cast some illumination skills, too, since the place was pitch black. Other than a few passages, the place was completely empty. As they looked around, they got the feeling that no one had come to this place in a very, very long time. The thick layers of dust on the walls or the ground were proof of that conjecture.
