Chapter 825: To the God Realm! (2/2)
Lila then interrupted Zuitou from greeting back.
”Enough with it. Senior Soren here is in a hurry. As I mentioned before, I'll be ascending to the God Realm with them. I believe all the preparations have been made already, yes?”
Zuitou took a deep breath before he nodded.
”Yes. Ancestor can ascend without worries. The Kalame Sect will be fine as long as I'm the Sect Master.”
Lila nodded, satisfied.
”Good! Guomer owes me a favor, so you can go ask his help if things become complicated. Also, I exchanged most of my stuff for another favor from the Juto Sect, so you can also rely on them. I'm leaving you with these two lifelines.”
”Thank you, Ancestor.”
Lila then looked at Soren.
”Everything's ready on my side, senior. We can depart any time you want.”
Soren immediately opened a Spatial Gate once again, much to Zuitou's surprise. After all, he knew about the formations in place in the Kalame Sect. That just went to show how much stronger Soren was compared to other Nascent God Realm cultivators or demon beasts.
”Let's go.”
Everyone quickly entered the Spatial Gate, leaving Zuitou behind. However, just as the Spatial Gate was about to completely close, a small black bead fell from it.
”Hum?”
Zuitou looked at the bead curiously before grabbing it. As soon as he did so, a Divine Sense message echoed in his mind.
”Senior Zuitou. You also helped Iem and me a lot in the past. This bead here has the power to ward off 50% of the power from an Ascension Tribulation. With that said, make sure to keep it guarded well. All you need to do is pour your Godly Energy into it, and the bead will naturally activate. Remember, this is a one-time use item, so make sure to use it at the right time. May we meet again someday.”
Zuitou felt like he was struck by lightning!
”50%!!!”
Zuitou quickly looked around and immediately put that bead in his Spatial Ring. Soon after, his blood began to boil in excitement. That didn't mean he would have a guaranteed chance of success in the Ascension Tribulation in the future, but he definitely had a much higher chance than anyone else!
”That won't do. I'll immediately step down from my Sect Master position and take the ancestor's place. Even if you kill me, I definitely won't buy any fight with anyone until the day I need to ascend. Low profile, low profile...”
Zuitou quickly left and made arrangements after that.
Somewhere else in the Godly Path Realm, a Spatial Gate appeared before everyone came out of it. Naturally, it was Krune's group and Lila.
”Where is this place?”
”This is nowhere. I brought us to a secluded corner where no one will mind us. Alright, Krune. Go ahead with it.”
Krune nodded as he brought the Runestone out of his Spatial Ring. Barlo had already explained to Krune how to use it, so he had made the arrangements. Soon after, Krune brought hundreds of Top Quality Godly Energy Stones out before placing them beside the Runestone. After that, he sent his Divine Sense inside and activated the inscription.
Not long after, space began to tremble as the Godly Path Realm roared. It was as if something was cutting right through it. The Godly Path Realm tried to stop whatever it was. Unfortunately, it was completely powerless against the Runestone's power. Well, that was Zule's power, so it made sense.
The Godly Energy Stones were quickly consumed as Spatial Laws of a much higher level accumulated around the Runestone. Everyone couldn't help but feel nervous about it. After all, they only had Barlo's words as assurance.
However, their doubts didn't last long. The Runestone began to shine with silver light as a black Spatial Gate started to take shape. Krune, Feifei, Heavin, and Lila couldn't tell if it was the real thing. However, Luvile, Soren, and Cinnia immediately identified the power coming from it.
”It's really the God Realm's power!”
”Hahaha! Great! Let's go, everyone.”
Soren and Luvile covered everyone with their powers before pulling everyone inside the Black Spatial Gate. As soon as they did that, the Runestone broke apart. As for the Black Spatial Gate, it disappeared almost instantly since the Godly Path Realm was trying to close it all the time. A few high-level cultivators and demon beasts had come to this place later, though, unfortunately for them, there wasn't anything else there anymore.
Krune's group felt like their bodies were being ripped apart. The strength of the Spatial Laws guiding them into the God Realm wasn't a joke. Fortunately, the Runestone's power made up for it, protecting everyone inside.
They only stayed in that Spatial Gate's path for a few seconds. However, it seemed like it took forever. Eventually, they were able to see the light of the other side. Their visions blurred once again, and when it came back to normal, they were standing above a lush field. Wind caressed on their faces as the sun shone in the sky... or so they thought.
”Wait! That's not the sun!”
Luvile and Soren nodded.
”Correct. However, you shouldn't care about it for now. We're going to release our barrier. Once we do that, all of you will be assaulted with the Godly Path Realm's Godly Energy. Get ready since it will sting quite a bit.”
Krune and the others took a deep breath before nodding. They were already aware of it before. They had to get their bodies used to the God Realm's power before anything.
