Chapter 773: Ghosts and Crystal Demon Beasts (1/2)

Meanwhile, Krune's group arrived at one of the hidden entrances, just like the one that teleported Heavin over.

”It's inside this building. If Luvile's Purple Tribulation Lightning succeeds in hiding my energy, the portal should not be closed when we check it.”

Krune's group nodded as they quickly entered the building. Because there weren't any crystal demon beasts and ghosts around, they were able to make their way in without being disturbed. Eventually, they arrived at what was supposed to be another exit of the building.

However...

”Hum? It seems like even Luvile's power wasn't able to hide your Mental Energy Presence. There is no portal to speak of, just another exit.”

Soren shook his head in response.

”Not exactly. One of you, go out of the Tribulation Layer.”

Lucio accepted the task and quickly exited. As soon as he did that, some kind of field immediately expanded from that gate outwards. Krune's group couldn't tell what it was exactly. In fact, they couldn't even see it. It's just that they felt a small ripple in their Mental Energy when that happened. They knew that the area they were in was enveloped by something.

Soren could tell what they were thinking and said.

”This is the thing that won't allow me to get close to the gates. You were only able to feel it spreading because you were right beside the gate when it appeared. If we were not inside Luvile's Tribulation Lightning Layer, you wouldn't feel anything due to how discrete it is.”

Still, Krune couldn't help but ask.

”So, Luvile's Tribulation Lightning Layer is working as intended. However, how come the gate is only showing the outside of the building? I can't see any spatial entrance at all.”

”That's because it was made to be like that. Believe me, it's right there. We just need to cross it.”

”Lucio, you go in front so that the gate can think you will enter. We will be following you right behind.”

Lucio nodded and immediately dashed forward. Krune and the others followed right behind.

*Blub...*

As soon as Lucio passed through the gate, space rippled as if a stone was thrown into a calm lake. Krune's group didn't waste time and passed right through it as well. The moment they did it, the world around them blurred as Spatial Laws acted on their body. To prevent the gate from having problems, Krune deactivated his Tribulation Layer as well. After all, Luvile's Purple Tribulation Lightning could eat laws. Now that they were already in the Spatial Gate, it would be meaningless to close it again.

Just a second later, the world around them returned to normal as they could see the new region they arrived in. It was the same as Heavin, a paradisiacal planet with life everywhere. However, they quickly noticed their cultivations being suppressed at high speeds.

”Our cultivations!”

However...

”Hmph!”

Soren's Mental Energy spread around and immediately canceled whatever was suppressing the cultivation of Krune's group. Krune and the others felt their cultivations increasing again until they stopped in the Divinity Realm once more.

”With me here, I want to see how you will stop us.”

Krune's group was delighted to hear that.

”Great! However, where should we go now?”

Soren then pointed in a particular direction before saying.

”This way. I've been to Zugen's territory before, so I know very well where to find him.”

Sure enough, Krune's group began to move in the ruins' direction that Heavin and Liriu had entered before. Well, Krune could still feel Heavin's presence, so they would have gone there even if Soren didn't say anything.

Also, Krune didn't know if their presence had been noticed already, so he used the Purple Tribulation Layer to hide their presence once more.

However...

”Argh!”

Krune and the others looked at Soren, shocked. Out of nowhere, Soren screamed out in pain.

”Senior Soren! What happened?!”

Soren immediately sat down and concentrated. Seeing that he couldn't talk at the moment, Krune's group stayed there with him. Soren then opened his eyes again a few minutes later.

”Zugen has just absorbed part of my Mental Energy Source.”
