Chapter 328 - Bubbles
On the other side, Krune and his group appeared together with the others. The place looked like a gigantic cave, with walls on both sides. Fortunately, it was big enough to accommodate all the cultivators and demon beasts who entered.
No one knew where they were at the moment, so no one moved carelessly. Only after the last participants entered did some started to move away with their own groups. As dangerous as this Dimensional Realm might be, if no one moves, then nothing will be earned.
As for that Divine Soul Realm cultivator and the other one at the 5th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm, they had long since disappeared. Since they were sent inside first against their will, there was no need for them to wait there to guide the others.
This place didn't allow Krune and his group to simply chose a direction to get away from everyone else. So at first, they had no other choice other than following the flow.
This situation didn't last for long, though. A few kilometers ahead, everyone found an exit and finally stepped outside. What appeared in front of them was a flat land as far as the eyes could see. It didn't matter what side they looked at, they simply couldn't see the end of it. Divine Sense was useless as well, as far as they could perceive, the situation was the same.
Someone finally started to move away from the entire group when suddenly, he disappeared right in front of everyone. There wasn't a single cultivator or demon beast without their Divine Senses spread at the moment. Hence, they all saw when that happened.
Krune pondered a bit and then summoned several wind blades. He flew above everyone's head and then shot the wind blades to all sides. Soon, the wind blades started to disappear one by one until they were all gone. Still, soon, all the blades that disappeared begun to come back again.
This was something that Krune had planned from the start. He had created his Wind Blades in a way that they would make a 180 degrees curve and fly back to the same point from where they were shot. Krune then used his Divine Sense to feel the conditions of the wind blades and noticed that they had changed a bit. It is not that they were damaged or anything, it is just that since this ability was wind-based, the air around the blades affects their composition to a certain degree.
Because of that, he could tell that the places were his Wind Blades had been had different environments. Some of the wind blades seemed to have passed through cold places, others through hot ones. There were a few who also gathered some sand, water, etc.
Ricarte also paid attention to Krune's Wind Blades that returned and immediately understood the situation that they are in.
"I see, this is a multi-dimensional realm!"
Krune and the others who didn't know what it was then looked at Ricarte.
"Think about it as if this Dimensional Realm is made with bubbles. Each bubble is a different dimension with its own environment, dangers, and probably even time. Some are obviously more dangerous, while others not so much. This place might look like flat land, but in fact, it is nothing more than an illusion. If we want to proceed, we will need to traverse several different realms to reach our destination."
Krune then asked.
"Is there a way to know which ones are safe or not?"
Ricarte shrugged his shoulder and said.
"Sure! Ask the person or beast who created it to come out and tell us which one we should use."
Krune and the others sighed. Is the creator of this Dimensional Realm even alive still? It is evident that they can't find him or her.
The other cultivators and demon beasts started to use their own methods to check the different dimensional realms around them before entering. Krune then looked at Feifei, who immediately shook her head. It was evident that this realm was also too hard for her to predict too far in the future, just like the Elemental Path.
Krune started to think about the wind blades that came back and then made a decision. He looked at Feifei and the others and said.
"Let's enter the realm where my wind blades suffered no change. At least, those are the ones that look the safest at the moment."
Feifei and the others nodded, and they flew beside Krune.
Krune then looked back at the guys of the group chat and said.
"What are you guys going to do? We already entered the inheritance, and since there are no more Void Breaking Realm people and beasts, there isn't much of a need for us to stay together. Of course, there is safety in numbers, so I won't mind if you guys decide to follow my friends and me either."
Suddenly, the world around Krune's group started to change. It looked like everything started to freeze, even the air itself. Krune narrowed his eyes and soon understood what was happening.
'Domain...'
A Domain is a skill that everyone at the Soul Forging Realm must comprehend. It directly increases the user's combat power while it disrupts anyone that the user considers as an enemy. Domains can only be created after a Cultivator has understood at least one Sub-Law. That's why it is usually only used by Soul Forging Realm ones. Not to mention that they use a lot of Spiritual and Elemental Source energy to keep it activated.
Right after, two cultivators and two demon beasts appeared around Krune. The weakest was at the 2nd Stage of the Soul Forging Realm while the strongest was at the limit, 5th Stage. The other two were both in the 3rd Stage. But that wasn't all. The people and beasts of his bigger group were also surrounded by different domains. It was evident that his entire group was being targeted here.
Krune looked at the guy in the 5th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm and then asked.
"Do you need anything?"
The guy laughed and then said.
"Hey there, you can call me Illo. As for what I want, as long as you give up your Jade Slip, we will immediately leave. We don't know what will happen in this Dimensional Realm, but I believe that the Jade Slips will be of great help. Do that, and I will disperse my Snow Domain."
Krune looked at him and then asked.
"Does that mean that those guys holding the rest of my group are also your friends?"
Illo nodded.
"You could say that. We gathered together during the time we were waiting for the inheritance to be open. We aren't the only one either, take a look around."
Soon, Krune noticed that the other Jade Slip Owner Groups were also in a similar situation. From the look of it, a few of the Jade Slips will be changing owners very soon.
"I see... It seems like everyone wants to hold one of the keys, right?"
Krune then looked at Dilo and asked.
"Do you need help?"
Dilo looked back at Krune and laughed out loud.
"To get rid of a domain of this level? No, thanks."
Dilo then activated his own Storm Domain, and Illo's Snow Domain started to get suppressed. Dilo might be only in the 3rd Stage of the Soul Forging Realm, but he does have the Elemental Meridians. Also, different from Illo, his Domain has a Wind Sub-Law that reached completion!
The law that Illo had comprehended was the Intermediate level of Cold, one of the Water Sub-Laws. Simply put, Illo was losing in both Laws and Elemental Control. So it was evident that his Domain couldn't fight against Dilo's one.
Illo suddenly gritted his teeth and said.
"The three of you, help me with this."
The other three also activated their own domains, and together, they were finally able to stop Dilo's Storm Domain rampage.
Illo looked at Krune and his group and said.
"He might have a better Domain than me, but can he protect low-level cultivators and demon beasts like you and the friends on your side?"
Krune looked at everyone and then asked.
"Seems like we already got our first Life and Death situation, shall we put what we learned into practice?"
Feifei then looked at one of the 3rd Stage enemies and said.
"In this case, that one is both Xankruan's and mine."
Ruik and Tiane didn't stay behind.
"Great! Tiane and I will take that 2nd Stage bug."
Tiande and Ruik were the weakest ones in their group, so they joined forces to deal with the weakest guy who was in the 2nd Stage of the Soul Forging Realm. Fortunately, Ruik's Dream Laws were really overpowered, which helped him and Tiane to stand their grounds.
Krune looked at Dilo and then asked.
"Can I leave Illo to you?"
Dilo laughed and didn't say anything, just nodded.
As for Krune, he put the Parrot Puppet that was on his shoulders in his Spatial Ring and then talked with Heavin through their connection.
"The remaining one is at the 3rd Stage of the Soul Forging Realm, I will need full control of the Divine Soul, alright?"
Heavin didn't mind and just sadi.
"I'm not blind, you know? Just go ahead with it, I'll be fine. Just make sure to not reveal everything. From the age that he is showing, he is obviously not a genius or anything, so try to beat him without using your Wisp Form."
Krune nodded, his opponent was practically a full realm above him, so he would need to take things a little more seriously.
"It is a good chance to test that."
