Chapter 765: Energy Blast (1/2)
Krune's group had been making their way to the Core Region without finding too much problems. Well, it was not that the Soren Ruins weren't dangerous, but because their own group was far above the general level. Eventually, they were able to reach the division between the two areas.
”Is this some kind of barrier?”
There was some kind of force field in front of them that didn't allow them to enter.
Lucio couldn't help but comment.
”Hmm... I don't think it was supposed to be here. After all, how long have the Soren Ruins existed? Still, I've never heard of a barrier impeding cultivators and demon beasts from entering the Core Region.”
Krune could feel the enormous amount of Spiritual Energy inside that thing.
'Well, I can just use Luvile's power to slowly make an opening for myself. However, if Heavin and Liriu find the same thing on the other side, perhaps they won't enter. Maybe I should consider going around to see if I can meet them.'
However, when he touched the barrier, his hands passed right through it!
”What?! How come there's so much energy, but it doesn't offer protection at all?”
Feifei and Lucio also touched the barrier, and sure enough, their hands went through as well.
”This... Perhaps this thing is not protecting against outsiders?”
”It might be here not to prevent something from entering but leaving instead.”
”Well, there's a chance that this really is a protection barrier, but what it protects against is not what we think.”
Krune, Feifei, and Lucio were just about to discuss this issue when all of a sudden...
”Not good! Fall back!”
Feifei's voice echoed in their minds. Because Krune and Feifei received that warning from Joty back in the Luvile Universe, the three of them had been at full alert all the time. Feifei, Lucio, and Krune had long decided that whatever warning they received from others, they would act first and ask later. Feifei even kept her Destiny Divine Soul working at full time, calculating everything in her surroundings. Thanks to that, she saw something terrible happening to the environment just a second before the event took place.
*Boom!*
As soon as the three flashed away, the Energy Barrier in front of them exploded with terrifying might! All the ruins around were turned to dust, something that even Krune wouldn't be able to do. If that hit them, they didn't think they would be able to survive. The energy shockwave quickly spread as the three fled back as fast as possible.
However, the energy was so powerful that it disrupted the space around them, so they couldn't teleport away.
With only time to think, Krune brought out his shields. However, they simply wouldn't be able to block the shockwave in time. But still, Krune's reaction was insanely swift. In a normal situation, he would have been able to pull that off. Still, the incoming danger was faster than he imagined.
Fortunately, he wasn't alone. Feifei and Lucio also understood that their only chance would be to have Krune's Purple Lightning and Shields block the energy behind. That being said, they immediately used the best skill they could think of since they also didn't have time to bring out their weapons.
”Destiny Reversal!”
”Elemental Chaos!”
Feifei's ability defied the way of destiny as it acted on the energy blast right in front of them. For a moment, Krune and Lucio saw an illusion of the three of them being hit by the shock wave. However, that illusion quickly shattered, and the attack continued. However, Lucio's Elemental Chaos came right behind. He fused the elements around into Black Energy, including part of the elements in the shockwave right in front of them. The energy shockwave was already pure chaos itself, so it made Lucio's skill easier to activate.
*Boom!*
Once again, the incoming blast was delayed for a small moment. However, that wasn't enough for Krune's shield to be charged with Purple Lightning. Feifei and Lucio knew what Krune was going to do. Hence, as they used their own attacks, they immediately used the counterforce to appear beside Krune.
All the shields appeared around Krune, Feifei, and Lucio as they connected themselves with Purple Lightning. Not even a gap was left behind.
”Purple Tribulation Lightning, 200%!”
”Tribulation Shields Slaughtering Formation, Third Form, Cage!”
The Energy Blast hit the shield as Krune's group was sent flying with it. Krune didn't hold back at all with his Spiritual Energy and Purple Lightning Resource. Luvile also supported him as much as possible, making it easier for manipulation.
The cage of lightning trembled from all sides, threatening to break apart. Fortunately, Luvile's power was a god's power. Also, Krune's Lightning Shields were made with materials from the Godly Path Realm. Thanks to that, they were even more resistant than the ruins themselves.
