Chapter 914: Krune Takes Action (2/2)
This floating island had a radius of one kilometer. It was one of the biggest in the area. There was one hill on its end while a large pond covered its surface. Surprisingly, situated on the shores of the pond was a tablet, gently washed by the waves on the pond.
Arriving right above it was the Escapist. The moment it arrived, the pond water stirred as it rose like a tsunami. The water and a large pile of rocks condensed together into the rock giant once again. This time, it was small than before. Nevertheless, it still had an imposing presence.
The moment it appeared, the rock giant began to shoot out tiny water spheres towards the Escapist. The Escapist had attained maximum altitude already. This distance allowed it to calmly dodge all the water spheres with ease. After all, by the time the water spheres reached such a height, they had already lost all the momentum in them.
After making an arc, they fell into the lava flowing on the ground.
Standing atop the Escapist was Krune, currently controlling a shield using both Godly Energy and Mental Energy. A clone carried the Pestlor and positioned itself right under the shield. Then, followed by a bellow, Krune activated the maximum limit of the Balance Laws on the shield, causing it to hum with a sonorous sound as it radiated with the rainbow light.
The clone, on the other hand, changed its Godly Energy signature and slammed all its Godly Energy into the shield, experiencing enough repulsion that it was almost crushed. Thankfully, it was alive, having transmitted all the repulsive force to the Pestlor.
The Pestlor shot forth with a tremendous speed, heading straight towards the rock giant as it began to expand in size. The increase in weight further accelerated it, making it suffuse with deadly momentum, enough to make the rock giant shiver.
It was similar to shooting a bullet from a gun. But during its travel, the bullet transformed into the size of a truck. At the same speed, its weight increased exponentially. Therefore, the momentum it contained became terrifying.
From a length of 60 centimeters to a length of 80 meters, the increase was too much, causing a piercing sound through the air as it cracked. The Pestlor slammed into the rock giant with all its might.
Due to how fast Krune launched it, the floating island wasn't even able to move to evade the attack. All it could do was lean on the rock giant to tank the attack. Upon seeing the approaching attack though, even it didn't have the guarantee to survive.
Just as it had expected, the force from the impact and the heat it had built up from the friction directly vaporized all the water on it, fully expending the Godly Energy contained within.
The rock giant completely collapsed as the Pestlor slammed into the ground, rupturing the land from the impact as the entire floating island broke down into ten pieces. All the energy from the poor cultivator it had absorbed to grow was released in the process.
Having timed it right, the subspace appeared in the clone, summoning twenty Pseudo-Wisps around it. All of them resembled the Pestlor weapon spirit. They immediately began to siphon all the Godly Energy in the area, having activated the Myriad Energies Technique.
The Godly Energy formed a vortex and directly gushed into them. Even their godly meridians cracked under the pressure as all the Pseudo-Wisps haphazardly absorbed the Godly Energy without even bothering to circulate it once.
Followed by the intense cracking, the Godly Energy meridians in all the Pseudo-Wisps were about to rupture within a couple of seconds. Nevertheless, Krune didn't care, stuffing all the Pseudo-Wisps with Godly Energy to the limit before storing the shrunken Pestlor into the subspace.
He swiftly retreated from the scene as a hurriedly formed hand of the rock giant flailed past him.
8th Stage God Foundation Realm!
Even Krune had taken part in absorbing the godly energy. Upon his increase in cultivation stage, it meant that all his Pseudo-Wisps were able to absorb some more Godly Energy. He immediately unleashed them all and activated the Myriad Energies Technique.
For a moment, there was no effect. But an instant later, all the free Godly Energy in the place was stirred up like a violent storm as it turned into a tornado and headed straight towards Krune.
The flailing giant had to stop its actions and resist the suction effect. It wasn't even able to reform its body, only left with the hand it had formed.
Krune opened the entrance to his subspace as all Pseudo-Wisps entered it one by one, pulling in the Godly Energy tornado along with them. As it was a place he had absolute control over, Krune placed a filter in the entrance, preventing even a dust particle in the region from entering.
The massive tornado of godly energy entered his subspace and saturated the environment inside. The five clones inside struggled to control the chaos, trying their best to subdue the violent Godly Energy that had been stirred up by the group activation of the Myriad Energies Technique.
All the Pseudo-Wisps soon began cultivating, absorbing the Godly Energy, eventually turning the environment inside the subspace tranquil. Seated on the back of the Escapist, Krune heaved a sigh of relief as he muttered, ”I have replenished my Godly Energy reserves to a significant extent. My losses sustained in this region have almost been negated.”
As he muttered, formless energy wrapped around him and the Escapist, causing them to disappear from the place. The only thing that remained behind was the gruntled roars of the rock giant that had shrunken to a height of three meters now. It almost seemed to be wailing at the loss it had suffered, not to mention that its floating island was only a patch of rock spanning 10 meters now.
