Chapter 897: Hovering Above All (1/2)

Krune took a step forward and lost balance in his legs, panting as the Godly Energy in his body turned sluggish. Even though he had finished reconstructing his body, the laws in him hadn't finished reorienting themselves into their previous positions yet.

With that, he was unable to even circulate Godly Energy or walk for the time being. As Krune sat cross-legged on the ground, the flesh on his face squirmed from time to time. Even though he had a fleshly body, their actual makeup had become infused with the laws that made up his Spiritual Incarnation.

So, the functions in his body had turned incredibly complex. The organs had become a cluster of laws that formed a circuit to execute the same function as the respective organ while also resembling it.

So, if Krune said he was a physical being right now, it was only partially true. Without any Godly Energy, he was just a cluster of ethereal laws forming a circuit. Only by fuelling them with Godly Energy and activating all the laws would his physical body appear.

It was like creating earth by infusing Godly Energy into the laws of earth.

That was why Krune was patiently waiting as he sensed the laws slowly return to their original positions. It did take some time since he couldn't just brute force and short-circuit himself. As the cluster of laws in his body moved to their respective places, the flow of Godly Energy in his body soon returning, coming from the place it had accumulated within and flowing back into his Wisp Core.

After that, it gushed out once again, traveling through the channel set up by the Godly Meridians that began to form once again. Slowly, after an hour had passed, Krune managed to finish one circulation of his Godly Energy, heaving a sigh of relief as he got up.

He had fully recovered now. Krune didn't even remember the number of times he had died in the short travel. Thankfully for him, none of the attacks that injured him were law-based. So, as long as he reined in his law cluster, he quickly revived by consuming some Godly Energy...or, in other words, the Pseudo-Wisps in his subspace.

If the attacks contained some laws, these laws would get lodged in his body, blocking the circuit his Spiritual Incarnation had formed. It would hinder the operations of his body, adversely affecting him by collapsing the balance in his body.

This was the reason only a cultivator with a Spiritual Incarnation could take one another of his kind.

Once he had fully recovered, Krune turned around to see Cultivator relaxing on the ground as he fiddled with a ring, gazing at the sky through it. Upon noticing the gaze, he sighed as he got up, saying, ”Sorry, that was risky.”

”It's fine. I was prepared to face it,” Krune nodded as he replied. ”As long as I don't die, the experience would make me stronger. That was the reason I set off on this journey in the first place. Don't worry too much about something like that.”

”That's good, then.” Cultivator nodded, summoning the ring spirit that looked similar to a Zenith Plugger.”Well, let's get going. We'll have to reach the Sub-Realm soon. There's still a lot of distance for us to traverse.”

”Alright.” Krune nodded as he jumped and took a seat on the ring spirit's back, watching it begin to run once again. Upon seeing the massive demon beast run through the path, the people that were traveling through it moved to the side immediately.

Along the way, Krune did come across some merchant caravans that were moving through it. But after hearing the news, they were no longer going towards the next city, Hworn City. They had changed their course to the Sub-Realm.

After all, in a place that possessed numerous treasures, probably no one would want to avoid it. Plus, dangers were accompanied everywhere in the God Realm, so they weren't worried about that. Their focus was primarily on the treasures they would obtain inside it.

As the Zenith Plugger lookalike ring spirit moved through the path, it didn't encounter any obstruction. It seemed as they approached closer and closer to the Sub-Realm, the intention of people to fight and rob continued to reduce.

After all, instead of fighting for some chump change in the hands of the cultivators, they could preserve their strength and use it to harvest a ton of treasures in the Sub-Realm. That was what went on in the minds of everyone in the region, bandits included.

It was the first time since its appearance had the fights and bloodshed in the Four Sectors' Border Region turned non-existent, almost none to the extent it could be mistaken for a utopia of peace. Seeing as how they had nothing else to do, Krune started to cultivate, absorbing the bodies of the Pseudo-Wisps to do so.

By absorbing a Pseudo-Wisp, his cultivation base increased by a tenth. After all, the Pseudo-Wisps were also in the same realm as him energy quantity and quality-wise. So, they increased the efficiency of his cultivation.

The moment he absorbed them into his body, the Godly Energy directly coursed through his Godly Meridians, settling within immediately as it flowed into his Wisp Core, elevating his cultivation base a little.

On the other side, Little Krune was cultivating as it comprehended the laws that made up his subspace, slowly but surely increasing its size. Moreover, every time Krune absorbed a Pseudo-Wisp to fuel his cultivation, it created a new one and made it cultivate.
