Chapter 768: Finding Where to Go (1/2)

In the meantime, Krune's group was making their way to the center of the Core Region. Just like Heavin's group, they also found the darker Crystal Demon Beasts and the stronger ghosts. However, it was hard to imagine someone faster when it came to speed when Krune was using his Purple Tribulation Lightning. Let alone when Feifei was there to predict the best route.

At first, Krune, Feifei, and Lucio weren't exactly going to the center. Instead, they would pass quite far from it on their way to meet up with Heavin and the others. That's because Krune's connection with Heavin wasn't pointing in that direction to start with. However, that suddenly changed a while ago.

Once Krune told them what happened, everyone had grim expressions. It was no secret that the closer to the center you went, the harder it got, even while passing around it. Krune and the others noticed that the number of Crystal Demon Beasts and Ghost gradually increased as they continued their journey.

”So, what should we do now?”

”I don't know. Heavin suddenly teleported from one point to another. I also can't feel him moving as fast as he was at first. Unless he purposely reduced his traveling speed, his movements are probably being restrained. Of course, he and Liriu might have found something and aren't leaving because of that.”

Lucio couldn't help but warn them.

”I'm not saying that we should give up. However, as far as I know, no one has successfully gotten to the very center of the Soren Ruins and came back from there. At some point, everyone gave up on that and only entered the Core Region to search the area close to the border. Not to mention that almost no one did that to start with. Of course, there weren't any crystal demon beasts in the past either.”

Krune and Feifei nodded.

”Still, we need to go if we want to see what's happening. What about this? You two hold onto me, and I will use my Purple Tribulation Lightning to move at full speed. Even if the ghosts or crystal demon beasts notice us, they won't have enough time to react due to the speed difference.”

Lucio pondered for a bit and nodded in the end.

”All those who tried to go to the center and died probably moved slowly. In that case, we might as well try to use speed to our advantage.”

Feifei agreed with that as well.

”I'll keep calculating the best route while you go. That should help us avoid most of the dead ends while giving us some degree of safety.”

However, Lucio asked a question in contrast to Feifei's proposal.

”But what if we find out that we have no way to keep going forward? What will you do in that case? Of course, we will try to find other routes. But what if there isn't any in the first place?”

Krune narrowed his eyes as he replied.

”In that case, we can only go to the place where Heavin's connection suddenly teleported away. I can tell more or less where it is, so we can do a blanket search.”

Lucio and Feifei nodded before Krune used his Tribulation Wings. Lucio and Feifei quickly held on to him after that. Not long after, with a flash of purple light, Krune, Feifei, and Lucio disappeared in the distance. Sure enough, even though the ghosts and crystal demon beasts noticed their presence, they were simply too fast.

”How long until we reach the center?”

”If we don't find any impediment, it should take at most three days. I'm moving quite fast, but we can't open Spatial Gates in this place, which delays us quite a lot.”

”These Ruins are truly enormous.”

Meanwhile, on the heaven-like planet, Heavin, Liriu, and Fura were still deciding on where they would go.

”Did you feel any difference in Spiritual Energy?”

Heavin and Liriu shook their heads.

”Not really. However, I was able to see a few other groups in the distance from high in the skies. The changes in the Soren Ruins really attracted a lot of people and beasts.”

”What about the Black Orb? Were there any changes to it?”

”I don't know. Let me see.”

Heavin quickly pulled the Black Orb out of his Spatial Ring. However, as soon as he did that, it reacted to the environment. Following that, a stream of information flowed into his mind.

”Oh! It's showing us a path.”

Fura and Liriu were taken aback.

”A path? Where?”

Heavin then looked at Fura before saying.

”It was probably the place it wanted you to go once it finished modifying your mind. Anyway, let's go there and see what we can find.”
