Chapter 909: Pestle and Mortar (1/2)
[Region: Epic Hell]
[Entry Cost for the Region, Magnificent Forest: 100 Godly Points]
Upon noticing the change, Krune read the words displayed on the tablet, focusing on the cost necessary to leave the region and enter the next one, the one covered by the forest. Upon seeing its brilliantly horrible naming scheme, Krune realized the next region would be no different from his current place, Epic Hell.
”It needs 100 Godly Points,” Krune frowned as he muttered, still unable to determine a method to obtain Godly Points. He then punched the tablet once, watching the contents displayed on its change.

”These guys are still accumulating Godly Points,” Krune muttered, looking at the last row as he sighed. ”Surprisingly, another one is added to the list. How are they accumulating Godly Points?”
Krune could not help but feel a bit troubled. Even though he still retained vast reserves of Godly Energy, it wasn't infinite. He was bound to run out of it sooner or later. He had hoped the Sub-Realm would be rich in Godly Energy so he could cultivate faster and improve his cultivation base.
Unfortunately, reality proved otherwise. There wasn't even an ounce of Godly Energy in the place. Rather, if it had been just that, then it would have been fine. Sadly, every speck of dust in his region was capable of growing into a giant by absorbing Godly Energy.
With that, if he got trapped, he would be wrung dry. Plus, since there was no Godly Energy, even if he were to lay down his Land Incarnation in the place, nothing would happen. He wouldn't be able to revive. In other words, it was almost a lost cause unless he determined the method to obtain Godly Points and leave the region towards another place.
Krune soon took out a shield, activated the Balance Laws on it before slamming it into the regional barrier. He watched the rainbow light coating the shield slam into the region barrier, trying to pull out something from within it. Unsurprisingly, a second later, the Balance Laws he had unleashed were fully expended.
Krune looked at the minute crack on the regional barrier, sighing when he noticed it heal almost instantly. This was enough for him to determine that the level of the laws used in the regional barrier was way too high a level. So, despite using his full strength, all he was able to do to it was just disrupt it a little.
Otherwise, he could have drawn all the laws forming the regional barrier towards the shield and made a large enough hole to pass through. Now that he found out it wasn't possible, Krune thought of something, unleashing a clone as it turned into a bird.
It then carried a shield using its claws and flew closer to the ground, focusing on a certain rock on the ground, one that was barely a couple of centimeters wide. It then opened its mouth and shot out a tiny fireball.
The fireball was exactly the size of the rock, landing on the rock and melting it. A couple of seconds later, the melted rock slowly wriggled and formed into a humanoid shape. It was still a wriggly form of lava, but having absorbed the remaining Godly Energy from the fireball, it had become a figure that was four centimeters in height.
Just when it had oriented itself, the bird landed on the ground with a tremendous force, slamming the shield onto the lava figure, causing it to splatter from the force. It had turned into drops of lava that splattered all over the ground.
Thanks to the splatter, more of its form was exposed to the cooler air, causing its body to turn solid. A couple of minutes later, all the splattered droplets had become solid. They then wriggled, slowly branching each part with new tendrils as they moved on the ground, inching towards a relatively bigger shard.
As time passed, they joined with one another, becoming the four-centimeter-high figure once again. Though, the moment it finished doing so, the bird landed on it again, slamming with the shield. To avoid any of its Godly Energy from being siphoned from contact, the bird only made the shield touch the figure.
The force from the impact lodged it deep into the ground, cracking it all apart. Moreover, it was flattened, causing the joined shards to break apart once again. Thanks to the force behind the impact, each shard was covered by cracks, seemingly on the verge of completely shattering apart.
