Chapter 874: Run (1/2)

Back where Krune met that Primal God...

”This is the first time I'm seeing a junior cultivator be this arrogant in front of me.” An ethereal blob said as it squirmed on the ground. Floating above it was the Primal God Krune and his group had encountered.

”How come I'm arrogant when I'm bowing to you?” Standing opposite the blob was the man with the crown, displaying a look of confusion as he asked.

”You clearly realized this was a place I'm resting in, yet you still dared to disturb me,” the blob replied.

”Senior.” The man with the crown pointed at the hole in the ground he dug out from before continuing, ”I was tracking someone and ended up here.”

”And...” He pointed the finger at himself as he added, ”How am I supposed to even know of your existence? Look at me. I'm just a measly cultivator at the First Stage of the Godly Fusion Realm.”

”Fine, fine.” The Primal God smiled as he said, ”It's also fate that you met me. Ask me one question. I'll answer it.”

”That's great.” The man with a crown laughed in response before deciding to ask his question. ”The item carried by that cultivator named Krune, what exactly is it?”

”It's a law in its purest form. Through some mystical means, it has been stored inside the hilt.” The Primal God smiled as he continued, ”Though, as to what you are seeking, I cannot say if it's possible. Yes, Krune can awaken its equipment spirit, but only for the blade alone. Not only that but the spirit would be instantly annihilated by the hilt. If you're talking about awakening the spirit of the hilt, then Krune isn't capable of doing so.”

”No, what I meant was...” The man with the crown smiled as he clarified himself, ”At what cultivation stage would I be able to awaken the spirit of that hilt?”

”Hmm, even I cannot predict that.” The Primal God resembled a naïve young boy as he shook his head. ”After all, that law is the remainder of a God.”

”Alright, thank you.” The man with the crown nodded as he thanked the Primal God, turning around as he intended to walk away.

”Wait a minute,” the Primal God said after a moment of thought, taking out a kettle from his spatial ring as he unleashed its equipment spirit before asking, ”Can you subdue this?”

The man with the crown gazed at the figure of the equipment as he smiled soon after, walking away as he transmitted his voice. ”I can.”

”Curse this arrogant punk. I hate him.” The ethereal blob snorted as he muttered, ”I should just suppress his cultivation permanently to the First Stage of the Godly Fusion Realm.”

”He can just die and revive once he leaves this place, you know,” the Primal God said in response. ”Besides, all you would do is annoy him. What if he vows to exact revenge on you in the future?”

”Bah, I'm a Primal God. Even after recovering his cultivation, he's only a brat in the God Core Realm. I can sniff him to dust instantly,” the ethereal slob mocked.

”You won't get the chance, though.” The Primal God smiled menacingly as he said in response, ”I am not planning to allow you to revive.”

”Damned are the heavens. Just why am I fated to this life?” the ethereal blob wailed.

…

”Where shall we proceed from this point onwards?” Krune looked at Xula and Yulian, asking for their expertise.

”If we want to get to the nearest city, then we have to pass through the Lawless Plains. It would be dangerous to cross it with our current cultivation bases, though,” Yulian replied to Krune's question, looking at Xula to see her nod in confirmation of his views.

”What are your plans?” Vardin took the lead to ask Krune a question.

”I was planning to head to the Four Sectors' Border Region to train. I would have to stop by a city during the journey to replenish my God Stone reserves,” Krune responded soon after.

”Do you have any reasons for it? Or are you pressed for time?” Vardin pressed forth in his queries.

”Not really.” Krune shook his head as he replied, ”I'm only in it for the battle experience. It's all to prevent my cultivation from stagnating.”

”Hmm...I think it would be best for you to wait here until you recover your cultivation base,” Vardin nodded as he replied, looking at Diana to see her nod in response. Soon after, a serious expression appeared on their faces as they looked in a certain direction.
