Chapter 710: Opening a Hole (2/2)

'Don't overthink it. Did you forget Little Arty? He could provide you guys as much Godly Energy as you needed. However, he couldn't produce it himself. Instead, he was directly connected to the God Realm. Chances are that this is the same case.'

After hearing that message, Krune and Iem nodded. That indeed made a lot more sense than finding Primordial Demon Beasts' cores at every corner they go.

Lila then looked at the chamber and back at the duo.

”Well, I'll leave it to you two now. However, be careful. This thing had never retaliated before. But we have never been able to inflict any damage to it either. Perhaps there is some formation in the middle that can counter-attack if it feels a threat. Of course, Zuitou and I will stay beside you 24/7, ready to act as soon as we feel anything strange.”

Although Krune and Iem knew that she was talking the truth, they also knew it wasn't the whole reason. She probably was afraid of them trying to pull her leg while at it. They couldn't blame her since they would do the same. Not to mention that they really preferred that layer of protection.

”Alright, let's start.”

Krune and Iem touched the chamber and immediately summoned that Purple Tribulation Lightning and Devil Flames. As always, Luvile's Power ate the laws while Harold's destroyed them. Just like that, time began to pass.

Soon, three days went by in a flash. It turned out that the protection on the chamber was extremely powerful. Not only did it protect the chamber, but it also recovered itself from the damage. Fortunately, the same power of self-healing was also based on the laws of the universe. So it couldn't show its full power with the Purple Tribulation Lightning and Devil Flames in place. Nonetheless, Krune and Iem's three days of effort hadn't done anything else other than a tiny scratch on the surface. Let's not even mention opening a hole to check what was inside.

Lila, on the other hand, seemed delighted.

”Great! Although somewhat slow, it is evident that it is working. Are you two holding well with Godly Energy? If necessary, I can even arrange for Top Quality Godly Stones to be brought here. Although they are quite expensive, I don't mind prices at this point anymore.”

Krune and Iem shook their head, saying.

”Don't worry. We are keeping a balance between energy expenditure and recovery. Besides, Godly Energy can't be instantly converted into our powers anyway. We need time for the conversion.”

Lila nodded, not minding it too much. She already waited this long anyway.

Time continued to pass in a flash. At some point, Krune and Iem had to use their communicators to call Franlia back to tell her everything was fine. After all, they would probably spend a very long time in this place.

Sure enough, the bigger the hole on the chamber wall, the slower the work became. It's just that with a more significant gap, Krune and Iem had to spread Luvile and Harold's power more around it. Naturally, the law destroying and eating abilities had to be spread as well.

There was a good thing, though. Iem and Krune could still cultivate during it. It was not like their time was being completely wasted in there.

Soon, days became weeks, weeks became months, but Krune and Iem's work continued. It was only three months after they initiated their job that they were finally able to open a tiny hole. Of course, it was way too small for them to be able to do anything at this point. However, it was more than enough to verify what was inside with their Divine Senses. In Krune's case, he decided to use Mental Energy instead.

Unfortunately, Lila and the other's Divine Sense couldn't sense anything inside. Not that it was empty, but that they felt like their Divine Senses fell into an abyss without end. It was a completely different sensation from when Divine Sense is used in outer space, though.

However, the moment Krune's Mental Energy Scan entered the chamber, he felt a jolt in his Soul. That jolt made Krune retrieve his Mental Energy almost instantly due to the pain it caused. If he had not been on his guard, he would probably have lost control over the Purple Tribulation Lightning as well.

Luvile noticed Krune's fluctuation and immediately asked.

'Are you okay? Did you find anything?'

Krune answered.

'It was weird. I felt like my Mental Energy was being ripped apart. I didn't even know that damage could be caused through Mental Energy before. How can I say it... Oh! It's as if whatever is inside tried to eat my Mental Energy away.'

Luvile didn't know what to say about it. First of all, Mental Energy was something new for him. Probably, only Heavin would be able to come up with anything related to it.
