Is That A Wisp?

Another six months passed, and it has now been one year since Krune's group entered the Holy Land. Krune spent around three months to enter the 9th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm and consume the Godly Energy Stones. On the fifth Light Pillar Test, he went through a Spiritual Pressure test. The further you moved under that pressure, the better it would be. The passing mark was 2km, but Krune walked a total of 3,3km, getting the 509th position.

There was nothing to be done in this test since it is mostly relied on the power of the body to resist it. Using any type of energy or defense was prohibited, so Krune, with his Human Form, could only do so much. A wisp is not known by its physical body, so Krune already did very well considering this weakness.

Obviously, he didn't get any Godly Stones whatsoever from this Fifth Level Light Pillar. This was a test that was almost completely dominated by the Demon beasts, with just a few cultivators with body training techniques here and there.

Because of that, Krune had stayed in the 6th Level until now. Well, he would spend around three months to adapt to each Level, so these three months were still okay. The issue is that he is far from adapting to this place without the Godly Energy Stones. But Krune already had an idea, though. What possibilities others to go further than him is their cultivation level, so Krune decided to have his breakthrough into the Void breaking Realm as soon as possible.

The boost proportioned by the change in Realms would be much bigger, and it would allow him to resist and adapt to the Godly Energy much faster.

The difference between the Soul Forging and the Void Breaking is basically the capability of creating Chaos Energy. At this point, cultivators and demon beasts would be able to improve their own foundations, just like Krune is doing with his Universe One. 

But there was good news for Krune. As the name suggests, the Void Breaking Realm gives one the capability of interacting with Space Laws. So far, cultivators without high talent or with some relation with Space wouldn't be able to see the Space Laws in the World of Laws. This breakthrough would allow them to do so, though.

The Space Laws would then interact with their own Divine Souls, creating there a connection between the two. At this moment, it could be said that the Divine Soul is prepared to receive Chaos Energy for cultivation.

However, Krune already understood Space Laws, so all he needed was to let this connection happen naturally. For him, this breakthrough would be one of the easiest. Krune knew this, so he had been accumulating Energy to reach the peak of the 9th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm. 

But who could have thought that the first one to be ready for a breakthrough was Heavin?

"What?! Are you going to enter the Soul Transformation Realm?"

Heavin laughed out loud.

"Hahaha! Don't think that this Godly Energy is only good for you. I've been using it until now as well to cultivate my Soul Technique. Finally, I reached the peak of the 5th Stage of the Soul Enhancement Realm. As you already know, my cultivation technique has only five stages in each Realm. The best thing about entering the Soul Transformation Realm is that I will be able to create Chaos Energy myself."

Krune nodded.

"That is indeed a good thing. But you are also lucky. If I didn't have the Chaos Meridians, you wouldn't be able to make this breakthrough."

Heavin agreed with Krune.

"That is true. To enter the Soul Transformation Realm, I will need Chaos Energy. It is thanks to your Chaos Meridians that I have somewhere to get it from. Otherwise, I would need to wait for you to enter the Void Breaking Realm first."

Krune then asked.

"So, when are you going to try?"

Heavin pondered a bit before saying.

"I guess I will just go for it now. We have been hidden in this place, and so far, we didn't see anyone. I will just use this moment then."

Krune nodded. But it was then that he remembered something else.

"Oh, right! My own Soul is in the Soul Enhancement 2nd stage. However, when I entered the Soul Enhancement Realm, I did not get any Tribulation whatsoever. You also started directly into the Soul Enhancement Realm, but there was no Tribulation for you either. Do you think there will be one now?"

Krune was telling the truth. Neither he nor Heavin passed through any tribulation when they arrived in the Soul Enhancement Realm. Feifei was also in the 1st Stage of the Soul Enhancement Realm, but it was the same thing for her.

"Hum... I can't say. In theory, the Soul Enhancement would be something between the Core Formation and Divine Soul Realm. So if you consider power alone, being in the Soul Enhancement Realm 1st Stage would definitely make you stronger than the Core Formation Realm 1st Stage. Still, while all the Core Formation Realms received a Heavenly Tribulation, my Soul Enhancement didn't. If I were to guess, I would say that the 'heavens' don't recognize my cultivation system."

Krune had to admit that it made sense. 

"Of course, it might be that it is just a coincidence. Who knows, I might get a Heavenly Tribulation this time. Anyway, I will only know after I try. However... there might be a small problem."

Krune got curious but waited for Heavin to continue.

"Although you can already create Chaos Energy, you can't use it with our Divine Soul for cultivation. At most, you can use the Chaos Energy to create even more Elemental Source Energy and then send it into the Divine Soul. That being said, I don't know if I can make this breakthrough since our Divine Soul is still not ready to receive Chaos Energy."

"Ah!"

Only now did Krune think about it. Indeed, could his Divine Soul, which is still in the Soul Forging Realm level, receive Chaos Energy? Without that, Heavin wouldn't be able to make a Breakthrough.

"Anyway, I can only try, so let's go ahead."

Having said that, Heavin retracted his Divine Sense from the Parrot Puppet and had Krune leave their hiding place. Inside Krune's foundation, Heavin started to gather the Chaos Energy that the Chaos Meridians created. Krune even stopped his own use completely, leaving everything for Heavin to use.

Krune could feel the Chaos Energy flowing into his Divine Soul until suddenly, it stopped. His Divine Soul didn't receive much to start with, but now he could feel the Chaos Energy coming out of his Divine Soul once again.

"Was it a failure?"

Heavin's Divine Sense connected with the Parrot once more before nodding at Krune.

"It was just as I imagined, our Divine Soul simply can't get it at all. It seems like that before you enter the Void Breaking Realm, I won't be able to make a breakthrough myself."

Krune just laughed after hearing that.

"There is no need to be feeling down. Have you forgotten? I'm already in the 9th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm. If everything goes according to the plan, it shouldn't take me more than a month to be ready for my breakthrough."

Heavin nodded. He wouldn't need to wait for long, so it was good.

Krune talked a little more with Heavin before resuming his cultivation. He already got more than enough combat experience, so he would only stop now when the breakthrough time comes.

---

While Krune hasn't achieved his breakthrough into the Void breaking Realm, there was someone else who did. Obviously, it was Feifei, who had been in the 9th Stage for a few more months than Krune. She also got a few Godly Stones, so it was well within the expectations that she would achieve it before him.

Of course, thanks to that, she was now able to see the Space Laws as well. For the last few months after her breakthrough, other than cultivating, Feifei focused the rest of her mind in the Space Laws. Thanks to the Holy Land's Godly Energy, the Laws were a lot clearer. By now, she already reached the Initial Stage of the Displacement. 

In fact, most of new Void Breaking Realm cultivators and demon beasts would select Displacement. After all, it allowed one to use Teleportation into short distances and open Spatial Gates.

Unfortunately, Spatial Gates couldn't be opened inside the Holy Land, so Feifei couldn't test this ability.

Suddenly, Feifei disappeared from one spot and reappeared a few hundred meters away. She looked back to the place where she was a moment ago and nodded, satisfied.

"So this is what teleporting feels like. It is completely different from when someone brings you together. However, I won't be able to use it much in battles of the Void Breaking Realm."

Feifei was right. Usually, when two Void Breaking Realms battled, they would purposely mess with the Space laws around the battlefield. That would make teleporting a suicide attempt. Chances were that you would be caught into a space storm while dislocating from one point to another.

Back then, when Krune fought that Destiny Heavenly Fragment Owner, his enemy's greatest mistake was to think that Krune couldn't use Space Laws. He left the space laws around their battlefield intact so that he himself could teleport if necessary. In the end, Heavin used this flaw to finish the battle.

Feifei took a deep breath and felt the flow of Godly Energy around. Once she confirmed the direction, she departed. She was now moving to the 5th Level Light Pillar.
