Chapter 769: One-Time Event (1/2)

Talking about Krune and his group, they made it further than others into the Soren Ruins' Core Region's deep parts. Why? That was mainly because of Krune's movement speed being far beyond the limits of the Mortal Realm. Any other cultivator or demon beast would have attracted way too many ghosts, making it impossible to continue forward. Not to mention that Feifei's calculations which helped in selecting the best routes.

Well, that's not considering all the cultivators that had been teleported to the weird planet. After all, they didn't go there by moving in that direction. Still, it was not as if the ghosts and the crystal demon beasts didn't notice Krune. The path behind them got more and more lively as the number of ghosts and crystal demon beast noticed their presence.

However, it didn't last forever. All of a sudden, Krune's group felt like they had passed through some kind of barrier. It was different from the one that almost killed them, though. Perhaps it was best to say that it was a division between fields.

Nevertheless, the moment they did that, all the Crystal Demon Beasts and Ghosts who tried to follow Krune's group stopped right in front of it. It was as if they were afraid of entering that territory.

After seeing that, Krune's movement skill immediately stopped as the Purple Lighting disappeared.

”Did you feel it when we entered this zone?”

Feifei and Lucio nodded.

”We did pass through something, and it's blocking those ghosts and beasts there.”

”Is this the place where Heavin is located?”

Krune concentrated on their connection but shook his head.

”No. Heavin is still quite far.”

The three of them looked around and only saw the same darker ruins as before. As always, they pulsed with a faint light, so they couldn't see anything different.

”Let's proceed with caution from now on. If even those ghosts and beasts don't dare to enter this place, it might be even more dangerous than fighting them.”

Lucio and Feifei nodded as they began to fly ahead on their own.

However, it wasn't long before their path was blocked. It was not because it was a dead-end, but because something appeared there. It looked like a cultivator, but it was possible to see a ton of dark crystals on its body. They couldn't tell whether it was alive or not.

”Another Crystal Demon Beast?”

”No, it's something different.”

”All the Crystal Demon Beasts were berserk, but this one isn't doing anything.”

Suddenly, the three received a Divine Sense Message.

”What relation do you have with Zugen?”

Krune's group was taken aback. It was obviously that guy ahead of them who asked that. Still, they didn't know what he was talking about.

”Zugen? Who is Zugen?”

The man snorted after hearing that.

”Hehe. Do you think you can hide his Soul Manifestation Energy?”

Krune's group became even more puzzled.

”Soul Manifestation Energy? Just what are you talking about?”

The man narrowed his eyes.

Suddenly, his body flashed like a streak of black light as he attacked Krune.

Krune's group had been on high alert from the very start, so they reacted properly. Krune's Shields immediately appeared in front of him, blocking the man's punch.

*Boom!*

However, a powerful Mental Energy passed through the shield and assaulted Krune, Feifei, and Lucio's minds.

”Argh!”

They were shocked by what they just felt. It was Mental Energy!

”Hmph! If you didn't know Zugen, then how do you know how to use Soul Manifestation? You would be dead already if not for your Soul Cultivation level. Not only that, but the two of you can even use it to fuse the five elements. Still, you are way too naive if you think you can do something to me with just this much power.”

However...

*Kabrum!*

Purple Tribulation Lightning spread around Krune's body, completely blocking all of the Mental Energy assault from the man in front of him. One must remember that Heavin had tested his Mental Energy against Luvile's Purple Tribulation Lightning in the past, but couldn't do anything against it. Krune's Purple Lightning also enveloped Feifei and Lucio, helping them resist the man's attack.

Lucio immediately contacted Krune.

'He can also use the Elements Regulation Technique. You better be careful.'

Krune nodded.

'Yes. The black energy in his body is definitely the fused five elements. However, Master, his fused elements seem to be far purer than yours.'

Lucio didn't try to deny it. He could tell that this man was even better at it than Lani as well.

The man didn't continue his assault, though.
