Chapter 898: Traversing the Border (1/2)

Having turned into a bird-type demon beast, one of the clones flew straight towards the end of the Zamuria Continent. As it approached closer and closer to its borders, through their shared thoughts, Krune realized that his earlier thoughts were wrong.

He thought the continents would at most be separated by a stream of water. After all, the entire God Realm was a massive stretch of land extending past tremendously long distances, spanning countless light-years.

But now, as the clone approached the border, Krune was left at a loss for words. Spanning beyond the border of the continent was a chaotic mist forming a wall of swirling tornadoes that completely lined up along the border.

The sheer intensity of the wind was beyond what any cultivator below the Semi-God Realm could endure. On top of that, there weren't even any gaps that could allow one to proceed beyond it. Moreover, the wall of swirling tornadoes was sharp, not leaving any trailing winds behind that flowed into the continent.

The clone flapped its wings, hovering 10 meters before the swirling wall of tornadoes, occasionally spotting a couple of shadows move past. It was unknown as to what they were. Though, as it began to fly while trying to search for a gap to go through, out of nowhere, from within the wall of wind appeared a massive shadow.

Its whole body was formless, completely made up of shadows as its gaping maw clamped on the clone, shredding it apart, rendering it useless before proceeding to digest it. One of the six clones had already died.

In the Lawless Plains, the destroyed fragment of Little Krune began to slowly take shape upon absorbing the dense Godly Energy in the area.

Another clone had also approached the border by this time. But, in its area, the border was a stretch of mountains forming a range, with their height beyond what one could see. They were like a wall of earth blocking everything, preventing anyone from moving beyond.

This was the southernmost part of the Zamuria Continent. The clone had been making use of the Mind Splitting Technique to cultivate, basically absorbing Godly Energy while flying through the air. This way, the amount of Godly Energy it had was always at its peak. That's why it managed to cover such a massive distance so quickly.

The clone flew around in the air while making use of its Mental Energy Scan to scout the surroundings and inside the rock forming the mountain range. It tried to scale up the mountain, giving up halfway when it failed to see the tip even after traveling for two days.

For some reason, the walls seemed to span till infinity based on what it saw. Even though Krune knew that was impossible since it should have finite limits, the limit seemed beyond what the bird-type demon beast could traverse.

After all, the higher up it went, the lower the density of Godly Energy it could draw upon from the air. So, it made recovering energy much harder. But after a moment of thought, the clone flew higher and higher up, planning to see just how far it could proceed.

Another clone soon joined it before the two proceeded high up, intending to support one another as they went. As the two pulled in Godly Energy simultaneously, they used the same technique allowing the suction force of Godly Energy to be beyond twice the amount they could pull in individually, alleviating their problems a little.

”There's a cave in this place,” one of the clones muttered as it took on Krune's human form, landing on a rock protrusion. The other clone morphed into a bird-type demon beast that Krune and Cultivator had used to escape from the Predominated Vines.

As this form had the greatest evasive maneuverability in the air, it allowed it to escape from any danger. And, just as the two had expected, as if it had sensed them approaching, a demon beast drilled out from the cave and zoomed in on the clone resembling Krune's human form.

Without any hesitation, the human form clone raised its hand, sending a gust of wind that was also boosted by the laws of gravity. The force it unleashed caused the demon beast's approach to slow down to a crawl.

The demon beast was shaped like an earthworm, lacking any eyes while its body was covered by scales all over. It had a tough hide and spanned a length of 15 meters and a diameter of a meter. It was a massive serpentine demon beast.

Moreover, it seemed to have been in the demon beast form all its life and hadn't interacted with any other living thing, so its intelligence was the least among all the demon beasts Krune had encountered in the God Realm.

It was in the Nascent God Realm, the Ninth Stage at that. But, the two clones weren't flustered. Followed by a grunt, the human form clone unleashed its Land Incarnation, causing the Godly Energy in the area to converge into it.

Followed by a massive influx, possibly all the Godly Energy in the area, two Pseudo-Wisps were produced. As Krune had just consumed one to cultivate while a clone had been killed just now, they could condense a couple of Pseudo-Wisps to take action.
