Chapter 661: Crushing Everyones Hope (1/2)
”Another thing. What is the Purple Lightning of yours? Is it a technique from outside? From what I read in the reports, there seems to be some kind of unidentified power in it?”
It was at this moment that Krune remembered something.
”Fuck!”
Iem, Sisan, Falo, and the others outside were taken aback.
”What is it? Is that some kind of secret you can't talk about?”
Krune looked at Falo with a bitter smile.
”Sorry, it has nothing to do with that. It's just that your last question reminded me of a huge problem. Unfortunately, resisting the collapse of the Foundation Space is the least of your problems.”
Those words immediately cast a shadow on everyone's minds.
”What could it be more problematic than that?”
Krune sighed before explaining.
”This 'unidentified power' you talked about is called Tribulation Power. Outside this place, it is quite rare to find people or beasts who can use similar ones. However, as long as you have the means, you can find one or another around. Still, that is not the issue here. The problem is what a Tribulation Power is.”
Iem immediately understood what Krune meant.
”Ah! That's true; how did we forget that?”
Krune nodded as he looked at Falo.
”The thing is. Are you, the Mortal Rejection or above cultivators and demon beasts, willing to sacrifice yourselves just so that the others at lower levels can survive?”
Falo got puzzled at that question.
”Since the collapse is inevitable, we will try to save as many as possible. After all, we can simply use Spatial Equipments that can hold life. Of course, there are way too many lives here, so we won't be able to carry more than 1 or 2% of the total.”
”However, we are doing it because carrying these spatial equipments isn't something that will bother us. Since that is the case, why should we sacrifice ourselves? We can both try to bring the others out while protecting ourselves against the collapse.”
Krune couldn't help but sigh.
”Your problem will not be surviving the collapse. The real issue comes after it. Have you ever heard about the Heavenly Tribulations?”
Falo and everyone watching outside got puzzled again. This place couldn't be seen by the Heavens. Obviously, none of them had ever heard o seen it before.
”What is a Heavenly Tribulation?”
Krune nodded, already expecting that answer.
”Heavenly Tribulations are kind of 'punishment' that the Heavens uses. We often say outside that cultivation is the act of going against the Heavens, and for a good reason. It appears after every cultivation breakthrough from the Mortal Rejection Realm onwards. However, the Heavens can't see you here. Obviously, you guys had never received a single Heavenly Tribulation.”
Krune then explained how the Heavenly Tribulations looked, their attributes, etc.
Falo didn't need to think much to understand what Krune wanted to say.
”Could it mean...”
Krune nodded once more.
”Yes. As soon as you appear under the Heavens, it will immediately sense your presence... and your cultivation. Once that happens, it will send down the Heavenly Tribulations that you have escaped from until now. The higher your Realm after the Mortal Rejection, the more tribulations you will receive at once.”
”I believe you are at the God Core Realm, right? In that case, you will receive the Mortal Rejection, God Foundation, and God Core Realm tribulations at once.”
