Chapter 752: Soren Ruins Changes (2/2)
As mentioned before, Soren Ruins was very dangerous even to those levels of cultivators and demon beasts. Nonetheless, it wasn't as difficult as the ascension tribulation. One must remember that the average number of cultivators and demon beasts that succeed in it is just around 1%! It was many times worth venturing in the Soren Ruins. After all, you might find some treasure that will drastically improve your chances of crossing your Tribulation.
Fura Tuvio just so happened to be one of those cultivators and demon beasts. She was already in the Peak of the Divinity Realm and held her cultivation back to prepare for the Tribulation. In the end, she did find a few treasures during her life that would improve her chances. Still, it was far from enough, in her opinion. That's why she entered the Soren Ruins.
The Soren Ruins was really a gigantic place. It had the size of several Solar Systems alone. The most incredible part was that it was full of ruins. They all floated in mid-space and were held together by some kind of force that no one knew about. Until today, the full extension of the area hasn't been investigated yet, especially in the Core Region.
However, some time ago, the Soren Ruins began to show some signs that something was happening inside. That attracted the attention of many cultivators and demon beasts. Because of that, the number of people and beasts coming here increased several times.
Fura wasn't one of those, though. She had entered this place many years before this started to happen. That's why the Holy Seer wanted to have someone to check it. Unfortunately, the Divinity Realm cultivators he sent also didn't come back, so he gave up and tried to lead Krune inside.
He wasn't lying, though. Fura was indeed the owner of the Ownerless Heavenly Fragment. Not to mention that he really wouldn't trade it without her permission. That was just his way of trying to get some help for her now that they can't risk sending more Divinity Realm forces inside.
There wasn't really an entrance for the Soren Ruins. One could approach it through almost any side. So there wasn't really a good way of locking it down either. Besides, if the Palom Universe tried to keep it only for themselves, they would incur the rage of many other cultivators and demon beasts from outside, so they kept it open.
Somewhere outside this Soren Ruins, a Spatial Gate suddenly appeared. From inside, a phoenix-like puppet came out together with a young man. The puppet looked in the direction of the Soren Ruins and then into a small glass tube in front of him.
”Liriu, it seems like this is the place.”
The puppet just so happened to be Heavin! After Krune opened a hole in the Dalin Universe Protection Formation, that hole kept open for a few days due to Luvile's Power. Still, since no one knew that it was opened, no one found it in the end.
However, Heavin used that same hole to go out before it closed.
Back when Heavin was analyzing the Dark Water Krune gave him, he wasn't making much progress. However, just as Krune opened the Dalin Universe Protection Formation hole, Heavin noticed that the direction the water moved changed. One must remember that the Dark Water always tried to move to the place with the most concentration of Dark Water. Distance made no difference as long as it is in the same realm.
Heavin didn't know why, but Dalin's Protection Formation seemed to have been blocking that connection. That's why the change only appeared once Krune opened the hole in the barrier to leave. Heavin, obviously, told the others that he would be going out to investigate. The Soul Cultivation Technique was his creation, so the others knew that it was important for him. That being said, no one tried to stop him. Not to mention that the Soul Control Realm was already more than strong enough to allow one to control Spiritual Energy and Space Laws to move around.
After Heavin came out of Dalin, he didn't contact Krune. That's because he knew that Krune would be busy with his marriage and other things. Heavin decided that he might as well investigate things on his own first. It's just that Heavin took way too long until finally finding the source of the attraction. Naturally, it was the Soren Ruins.
After that, he went to the Luvile Universe but found out that Feifei and Krune had already left to look for the Heavenly Fragments. Still, Liriu and the others remained there to pass their time. After pondering a bit, he decided to not bother Krune and Feifei before inviting Liriu instead. Other than Krune, Liriu was definitely the strongest in Krune's group thanks to his Dracophoenix Bloodline.
Liriu, of course, was more than happy to go out to explore.
Fie's family was paying a visit to the Makui Planet, so Liriu didn't bother them either. He only told Tiane and Ruik that he would be going out to help Heavin. Liriu was more than strong enough to defend himself, so Tiane and Ruik didn't mind and let him go. They would then tell Krune and Feifei about it when they came back.
Liriu then looked at Heavin before asking.
”Are you sure you want to enter without telling Krune? He doesn't even know you left Dalin, right?”
Heavin shrugged his Phoenix Putter shoulders.
”Why bother them? Those two had been separated for a very long time. Let them enjoy each other for a while. Could it be that the Dracophoenix is afraid of this place?”
Liriu laughed in response to that question.
”Hahaha! Of course not. Still, your information said that this place is dangerous even to Peak Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beasts, right?”
Heavin nodded.
”Yeah. However, that is only considering ordinary Divinity Realm cultivators. Other than Krune, do you think there is anyone who can beat you in a one-on-one fight?”
Heavin shook his head.
”I don't know. I'm not arrogant enough to claim that I'm invincible under Krune's level. However, even if there are, the number of those who can beat me is few and far between.”
Heavin nodded.
”There you go. Anyway, time to go check what is inside. Something tells me that my breakthrough in Mental Energy cultivation lies inside.”
Liriu sighed but nodded in the end. Just like that, the two entered the Soren Ruins together.
