Chapter 690: The Winning Side (2/2)

'Zule' had no other choice than to burn even more of his remaining soul to make up for the lost power, with his situation becoming worse as time passed. Although he only needed a few seconds to make his way out of Krune's Foundation Space, it felt like an eternity for him. His only comfort was that Krune wasn't strong enough to use his Foundation Space to control him. However, even that wouldn't last for long if he kept weakening like that.

It was at this moment that Krune's past experiences helped the most. If it was the Foundation Space of any other Semi-Divinity Realm cultivator or demon beast, it would be several times smaller than his Universe one. The enemy 'Zule' would have escaped from inside it a long ago. Too bad that Krune had been increasing his Foundation Space size ever since he was in the Soul Forging Realm.

Finally, 'Zule' saw the division between the Foundation Space and the outside world in front of him. At this point, he only had around 30% of his Fragmented Soul left. Even though that was the case, he sighed in relief.

'As long as I escape, I can use my body's Silver Blood to recover my Soul Power once more. Although I won't be ready before they leave, there will definitely be a chance in the future.'

'Zule' approached the barrier in a flash, ready to strike it and run away when suddenly...

*Snap!*

Krune's group Zule ate another chunk of his soul. At first, the enemy 'Zule' ignored the pain and loss. He was entirely focused on escaping Krune's Foundation Space. Unfortunately, that was what Krune was waiting for.

”Lock!”

*Zup!*

As soon as Krune voiced those words, the enemy 'Zule's' soul froze right in front of the Foundation Space Barrier.

”What?! Impossible!”

Krune finally sighed in relief after seeing that.

'So close... If Zule hadn't taken that last bite, I wouldn't have enough power to stop him.'

That was correct. Krune had been trying to control his Foundation Space to stop 'Zule' all this time. However, the power of the Kun-Peng's body had been powering him. It was only in the last moment that the enemy grew weak enough for him to stop his movements.

”Teleport!”

Right after, 'Zule's' soul was sent straight to the center of Krune's Foundation Space once more. 'Zule' noticed where he had been sent to and felt immense despair.

*Vup!*

Not long later, Krune and Zule appeared there as well. On top of that, Purple Tribulation Lightning and Devil Flames immediately created another cage around him. To make things worse, the power the enemy 'Zule' got from burning his soul began to dim at an insanely hasty rate. He had finally reached the limit of what he could do. If he burnt even a little bit more of his soul, his Fragmented Soul would definitely crumble. Obviously, that meant instant death.

”Alright! Alright! You won! I'll do whatever you want. Let's stop it here, okay?”

Krune snorted after hearing that, though.

”Weren't you saying you were going to destroy us? Too bad... I don't want to leave things up to chance. After all, you can somehow control the power of the Kun-Peng. More than answers, I would prefer to guarantee my safety.”

Luvile, Harold, Iem, and Zule agreed with Krune. This guy's presence was too strange. They already thought about the possibility that he was part of the Kun-Peng's soul, especially after he kept saying 'my body' several times.

Zule then launched himself against that enemy 'Zule' and began to absorb him again.

”Ahhhh! Stop! I can tell you several secrets! I can make you strong enough to dominate all the realms!”

Krune and the others completely ignored him, though.

”Just disappear already!”

'Zule' finally understood that he had no chance of escaping anymore.

”Since that's the case, die with me!”

'Zule' then tried to burn the rest of his Soul Power to detonate himself. Unfortunately for him, things didn't work out as he wanted it to.

”This... What did you do?!”

Krune smiled as he explained.

”Isn't that obvious? Now that you lost the power to fight against my Foundation Space Control, you can't do anything without my consent anymore. Obviously, self-detonation is out of the question as well. If you had done it from the start, it would have been extremely dangerous for me. Fortunately, you didn't.”

Zule then kept absorbing the Soul Power. The enemy 'Zule' tried to fight back by absorbing him as well. However, Krune was still there. With Luvile and Harold's power giving Zule support, he was not able to resist. Finally, 'Zule' began to lose his consciousness as the soul decreased in size.

”Hehe... I wonder if you will... still be you... in the end...”

'Zule's' remaining soul finally crumbled and was entirely absorbed by the Krune's group Zule.

However, Krune didn't drop his guard yet. After all, he didn't know what would happen to the Zule in his group now that it was all over.
