Chapter 772: Plans (2/2)

Not long after, a layer of Tribulation Lightning spread out of his body and covered their entire group.

”Simple. I can use Luvile's power to mask your presence. That way, we can use the teleport formation to head there directly. It should work, no?”

Soren narrowed his eyes as he pondered about the issue.

”Zugen was also a god, so he should be able to detect your presence even with Luvile's power. However, that is in a normal situation where he doesn't have a damaged Mental Energy Source. I was planning to use Luvile's power to force an opening into his Solar System, but that would take quite some time.”

Soren finally decided.

”Alright. It's worth a shot. Come with me!”

Soren suddenly changed direction and sped up once again. It was then that Krune and the others felt a source of Mental Energy coming from his body. Just now, Soren had become even stronger.

”Don't worry. I just finished absorbing the Mental Energy Source you gave me back. Even if it was just a little bit, that was still a Soul God's Mental Energy Source.”

Krune couldn't tell if he would be able to beat Soren at his current level. Fortunately, it didn't seem like he wanted to do anything to them at the moment.

Meanwhile, deep inside the planet where Heavin's group is located, an old man opened his eyes as he looked at several black orbs in the distance. Several of them seemed to be brimming with the fused elements of black energy. After that, he shook his head as he thought.

”My Heaven Soul Metal has appeared in the Mortal Realm, but I wonder if Soren will notice it. I deployed my Crystal Demon Beasts and even put a protective barrier inside the Core Region to annihilate anyone who might bring it here. Soren is definitely waiting for an opportunity to enter my Solar System, so that's all I can do to keep him away from his Mental Energy Source. It would be perfect if I could get it instead.”

However, it was then that he noticed a difference in one of those orbs' black energy.

”This...”

He made a grabbing motion with his hand, and it did not take long for that black orb to fly into his grasp. He quickly checked it and his eyes immediately shone!

”This is a Soul God-level Mental Energy Source! It must be Soren's! How is this possible? Did someone really bring it here into the Ruins?”

Zugen then spread his Divine Sense out. Unlike others, his own Divine Sense wasn't blocked by his Solar System.

”I have a lot of visitors this time. Well, that's to be expected. After all, my Crystal Demon Beasts' release definitely caught the ants of the Mortal Realm's attention. However, would Soren's Mental Energy Source be with any of them? Or could it be that Soren has already gotten it back? No, wait. If that was the case, then there shouldn't be any of it in one of my orbs.”

Zugen pondered for a bit before deciding.

”Let's first use this source. Although it's just a little, it's more than enough to make up for most of the Mental Energy Sources I obtained up to now. It should allow me to recover a bit more.”

”As for the people and beasts outside, their cultivations are sealed anyway. I could capture them now, but I don't know if this is a trap from Soren. I better finish absorbing this source first so that I can recover a bit more of my power. Besides, they will move into the trap on their own sooner or later.”

At the same time, on the planet's surface, Heavin's group had snowballed to a considerable size as they went to the same place. Finally, they arrived at what seemed to be another ruin. It had the same structure as the ruins surrounding this Solar System. It's just that they weren't floating in the air but were held to the ground by gravity.

However, everyone narrowed their eyes as they looked at it. That's because they knew about the ghosts and crystal demon beasts. If they encountered such things inside with their cultivation sealed, they would be dead for sure.

However, Heavin's group ignored that and moved straight in.

”What's the point in waiting here? We can't do anything with our cultivations sealed, so let's move in already.”

The others could not help but grit their teeth and followed Heavin and company. Whether there were Crystal Demon Beasts and Ghosts or not, they didn't have any other choice. After all, they were trapped on this planet as long as they couldn't use their cultivation. They needed to find a way out.

However, there was one problem. There were quite a few of them here.

”Should we keep together or separate to cover a bigger area?”

”I think we should stick close to one another. It will be easier to deal with the dangers.”

”I disagree. If we really find one of those ghosts or beasts, we will simply die together due to the power difference. If we separate, at least a few of us might have a chance of finding a way out.”

”Well, that's considering that there's a way out in these ruins, to begin with.”

Liriu looked at Heavin and Fura before saying.

”Let's just go. Whether they wish to follow or not will be their problem.”

Heavin and Fura agreed with Liriu and quickly followed him. The Phoenix soon noticed their group moving ahead and narrowed its eyes. Still, it decided to stay close to them nevertheless. The groups were quickly divided between those who wanted to move alone or move as a bigger group. And just like that, they all headed deeper into the new ruins.
