Chapter 635: True Spirit (1/2)

Krune's Shields Cage separated once more when Iem killed the Space Creature. Right after, Krune's 300% of Tribulation Lighting output returned to its normal 200%. In wisp form, that's how much Krune can use without causing damage to his wisp core.

The dark shade on Iem's Crystallization ability disappeared right after too. After all, the forceful infusion of Devil Flames in his body was also detrimental to Iem. He only kept the Devil Flame armor active in case something happened.

Although Krune and Iem came back from their strongest states, they didn't drop their guard. They didn't forget that a lot of Godly Energy waves were released during this last combat. There would be nothing wrong if they ended attracting more Space Creatures.

However, even after waiting for a few minutes, nothing happened. Space Creatures didn't have intelligence. That being said, they wouldn't keep hiding and waiting for an opportunity to attack. Instead, they would come at them straight away if they saw Krune and Iem.

”Seems like that was all.”

Iem nodded.

”The thing I was most afraid was that a Space Creature at Jimage's level would come at us. But from the looks of it, those strongest creatures really went after Jimage, Foltan, and Pharan.”

Krune returned to his Human Form before agreeing with Iem.

”There was no helping in that. Those creatures are attracted by those who have the more Godly Energy Powers. It is understandable that they went through other routes after Jimage and the others. Anyway, let's retrieve the God Crystal. If it didn't come out to attack us until now, then it definitely had its 'pseudo-sentience' destroyed.”

Illia couldn't hear what they were saying since Krune and Iem wouldn't discuss things without Divine Sense. Still, she knew that it probably had something to do with the God Crystal. Sure enough, Krune and Iem began to make their way to where she was. After all, the God Crystal was just a few meters away from her body.

”Oh! I can see the God Crystal with my Mental Energy. It is really here.”

Iem smiled before nodding. He wouldn't take the Space God Crystal, so that didn't matter much for him.

However, after Krune walked a few more meters ahead, he suddenly stopped. His eyes narrowed, and his Mental Energy Scan picked something nearby the Crystal. After that, he quickly alerted Iem, who was immediately put on guard.

”Go!”

Krune's shields were still hovering around him after the battle finished. It's just that the Purple Tribulation Lightning power stopped coming from them. However, as soon as Krune gave the order, all of them released the Purple Tribulation Lightning Blades and surrounded the place where he noticed that presence.

Iem's body released black flames as well as he pounced forward. Neither Krune nor Iem were in their strongest combat forms. However, they are still strong enough to contend against a Divinity Realm level enemy. Of course, they are far from their peak at the moment since they just finished a tough fight against that Space Creature.

Illia's eyes opened wide when she noticed their movements. She was extremely confident in her secret concealment technique. As long as she didn't move, no one under the Transformation Realm was supposed to be able to notice her. However, it was evident that they found out where she was.

Illia's face immediately paled when she saw Krune and Iem attacking the area where she was. She knew she wasn't their match even in a one vs. one, let alone two vs. one.

”Wait! I surrender!”

Krune and Iem's skills were just about to descend all at once when they suddenly stopped. They had indeed heard the voice coming from that place. Krune knew that there was something there, but he didn't know what. Even with his Mental Energy, he could only barely perceive that 'something' was present in that place. In fact, he thought that it was another hidden Space Creature instead of a cultivator. However, Space Creatures obviously can't talk, much less would they surrender.

Iem was even more surprised since his Divine Sense couldn't see anything at all. If not because of Krune's Mental Energy, they would approach the God Crystal and might have been ambushed right there and then.

It was then that the space warped, and a blue lotus manifested out of thin air. Right after, it morphed into the form of a young woman. Obviously, Iem and Krune immediately recognized her as Illia, the girl who fought Krune in the Chaotic Space when they were after Top Quality Godly Stones.

If Illia knew that they could find her presence, she would have escaped as soon as they finished the battle against the Space Creature. However, she was too confident in her hiding skills. It would definitely have been better if Krune and Iem didn't notice her presence so that she could leave later. Unfortunately, now that Krune's shields were surrounding her, she had no way to escape.

After Illia appeared, Krune couldn't help but comment.

”What a strong concealment technique. I almost didn't notice Illia's presence at all!”

Illia shook her head after hearing that.

”I'm a lot more impressed with your detection ability than you are with my technique. No one below the Transformation Realm was supposed to be able to see through it.”

Iem cut them right there.
