Chapter 591: Zule (1/2)

Iridia shook her head.

”I'm not sure. But if I were to guess, I would say that the Heavenly Fragment in the treasure felt your presence. After that, it brought you two inside through some method. After all, that is a spatial type of treasure. That's also why I guessed that you had a Heavenly Fragment or Core other than the fact that you aren't suppressed in this place with your cultivation levels.”

Krune and Iem reached a conclusion after that. Since the treasure above has spatial powers, the Heavenly Fragment inside can only be a Space Heavenly Fragment. After all, not only was this place sealed in another dimension, only a Heavenly Space Fragment would be able to intercept their teleportation back in the Zamaria Planet. Of course, the Blackhole Fragment would also be good with Space Laws. However, its ability would not reach a high enough level to intervene directly. At least, Krune doesn't think so. A Blackhole Fragment would have its focus shared between Space and Time laws, after all.

They also understood why treasures made with Heavenly Fragments and Cores were so rare. That's because the Ascencion Tribulation of the Lower Realms is several times more dangerous than normal ones.

As mentioned before, the higher difficulty in the Ascencion Tribulation for Heavenly Core and Fragment owners is because the Universes they originated in want to take them back. There are only nine Heavenly Fragments in each Universe in the Lower Realms. Otherwise, there is only a single Heavenly Core.

Cultivators and Demon Beasts without Heavenly Fragments or Core only have around a 1% chance of succeeding in their Ascencion Tribulation. That being said, one can imagine how hard it is for the Heavenly Core or Fragment Owners to ascend since theirs are much harder. In that case, just how many Heavenly Fragments or Cores exist in the Godly Path Realm? Without a doubt, the number is pitifully low.

”Alright. Now we wish to know what risks does it involve. After all, you said that only we can give your freedom back. Is there something wrong with the Heavenly Fragment above?”

Iridia shook her head once more.

”I don't know. As I said, I can't get close to it with my cultivation. But the Heavenly Fragment inside the treasure had been here for so long, this place is also sealed from the outside, so no one can enter. In that case, why would it summon you here? I'm afraid that it might want something from you. However, we really have no choice other than believing you.”

Iem pondered a bit before extending his hand.

”First, let me take your Soul Sliver. After I have brought into my foundation, I will naturally know if everything you said was valid or not.”

Krune didn't say anything. He, too, couldn't afford to take risks. So it was better to have this Godly Fusion Realm expert under control first. Although it goes more or less against his personality, he knew what was more important at the moment.

Iridia sighed before touching her forehead. After a few seconds, a faint light appeared there. She then retracted her hand, and a sliver of her Soul came out. Her face immediately went pale after that. She then pointed it at Iem, who grabbed it and put it inside his foundation.

After that, he made sure that it was really her Soul Sliver before asking.

”Is everything you said true?”

Iridia nodded without any hesitation.

”Yes, I have told you everything I know.”

”How many more people know about our Heavenly Fragment and Core?”

”I'm the only one. Before you had appeared in front of me, I didn't even know about your existence. That being said, I simply didn't have any time to warn anyone. Of course, I noticed what you two were the moment you appeared here.”

Iem nodded, satisfied. Thorugh the connection with her Soul Sliver, he knew that every single word was true. She really is betting everything in the two of them.

Iem and Krune then talked through Divine Sense Messages.

”What do you think?”

Krune shrugged his shoulders.

”What else can we do here? We are locked inside. Those who entered the No Return Maze in the past most likely died already too. After all, this dimension has been separated from the outside. We have no choice; we need to go up and see this treasure.”

Iem narrowed his eyes, but he knew that Krune was right. It was still better than stay locked in this place forever.

”We still have the choice to cultivate until we get to the peak of the Transformation Realm before we try to go there.”

Krune immediately shook his head.
