Chapter 560 - Godly Path Realm
Somewhere in a long prairie, a strange 'hole in space' had been opened. It was quite weird since there were no Space Laws involved in the process. However, it caused quite a stir due to the amount of Spiritual Energy coming from it. Fortunately, the place was enormous, and there was no one around.
Suddenly, a young man that seemed to be made of crystal was shot out of it like a cannonball. He fell on the ground and rolled for a few hundreds of meters. He tried to stabilize himself with his Spiritual, Elemental, and Chaos Energies. However, he noticed that none of those energies seemed to have any use in this place.
In the end, he could only use his own body to stop himself. However, after the shook, he noticed some strange forced trying to smash his body flat!
"Concentrate! This is Godly Energy. I'm using my Devil Flame to block most of it, but you will need to deal with the rest. Don't forget, I won't be able to do it for long, so you have to adapt as if your life depended on it. No, in fact, your life does depend on it."
Obviously, the young man was Iem Turo, the Heavenly Race Member. Iem quickly sat down on the ground and focused on the Godly Energy. He had to go through the so-called transformation of the body if he wants to survive here.
Harold, the Devil Flame God, looked around the place and at the 'hole in space' that was almost closing.
"Good, there is no one around, take your time to transf-"
Suddenly, a rainbow-colored ball shot of the 'hole in space' like a cannonball!
Bam!
The ball hit Iem's body head-on! It was as if it was purposely targetting him. Iem, who had just begun to get used to the environment, was once against sent flying for another few hundred meters or so.
For a moment, Harold and Iem thought that they had been attacked. But they quickly saw what the thing that struck them was.
"..."
"..."
The Rainbow-Colored ball began to float again as it looked everything in a 360-degree radius. Who else could this be if not Krune and Luvile?
Just as Harold was about to ask why they came, Krune's Purple Tribulation Lightning activated.
*Zap!*
He went straight back tot he 'hole in space!' Too bad, though. Just as he was amount to enter it again, the gap closed right in front of him.
"..."
"..."
Krune felt like crying but had no tears.
"Wally!!!!!!"
Krune was fuming!
"Who the hell would want to come here? What bullshit fortuitous encounter! We opened the gate on purpose for fucking sake! We didn't want to come at all!"
It was then that Luvile's voice came out.
"Silence! We are already here, so quickly focus on the Godly Energy. If you delay too much, your wisp core will be smashed by it."
Krune soon noticed that Luvile was right. The Godly Energy in this place was hundreds if not thousands of times thicker than the highest floor in the Holy Land. But there was something strange... Krune didn't feel pressured by it at all. Krune quickly calmed down before saying.
"Alright. However, I don't seem to be in danger. At least, I can't feel the Godly Energy pressuring me."
Luvile immediately explained.
"Can't you see the barrier that Wally cast on you before he sent us inside the gate? That's why you can resist. However, it won't last for long, so you need to transform your Wisp Core."
Harold and Iem's expressions were weird. Harold then told Iem to focus on the transformation while he talked with those two.
"Luvile, did you and that wisp come here by mistake?"
Luvile also noticed Harold and Iem in the distance.
"Oh, so there you are. Yes, because of a misunderstanding, we were sent in against our will."
Luvile was puzzled, though.
"By the way, how did you fall so far from the gate?"
Iem and Harold felt like they would vomit blood. Wasn't your wisp who sent us flying?!
"Cough, cough. That doesn't matter. Anyway, we arrived in the Godly Path Realm, so let's focus on the transformation first, and we can talk later."
Luvile agreed with Harold.
Krune finally calmed down. There was no point in losing his patience over what just happened.
"Light Spirit, you said I need to transform my Wisp Core. Isn't this the thing that all ascenders must do when they first arrive in the Higher Realms? I remember you said before that only a Peak Divinity Realm Body can resist the transformation. I'm only in the 7th Stage of the Divine Path Realm, won't I be destroyed in the process."
Luvile also had a headache.
"I know that. Your first body transformation, or Wisp Core Transformation, was supposed to happen once you entered the Divinity Realm. That is the usual process. You would need a body at the Peak of the Divinity Realm to resist the transformation of Godly Energy. However, do you think you can jump all the way to the Peak fo the Divinity Realm now? I doubt so. That being said, you have no other choice other than transforming now."
Krune had to admit that Light Spirit was right.
"What do I do, then?"
Luvile then explained.
"I'm not entirely sure myself. Usually, the transformation would happen automatically. As you can probably feel, there is simply no Spiritual Energy in this place. Let alone Elemental or Chaos Energy. In the usual process, a human would get a Godly Human Body. As for the demon beasts, they would get a Godly Demon Beast one. However, you are a wisp, and have no body to start with."
"I never cared about it much since once you reached the Peak of the Divinity Realm and ascended, your transformation would be carried automatically. Whatever methods the Higher Realms used to make it happen doesn't matter. It simply happened. You must understand that it would be impossible to go through this transformation in the Lower Realms. Even if Arty released the same amount of Godly Energy as the Higher Realms back in the Wisp Main World, your body would still not transform."
"You could say that it is thanks to the Higher Realms Laws that the ascenders' bodies are transformed. If you concentrate, you can definitely feel the presence of those weird laws that are approaching you at this very moment. They want to initiate the transformation of your Wisp Core."
Krune had to admit that Light Spirit was right. It was a bizarre feeling as if his Wisp Core wanted to become one with it.
"That's why I can only make a guess at the moment and hope that wisps follow the same process as everyone else."
"In the normal process, Godly Energy would enter the body indiscriminately. It would not go you your foundation, but every cell of the body itself. Since that was the case, I can only tell you to let the Godly Energy act over the shell of your Wisp Core and the foundation inside. In theory, your Wisp Core is your body, so I believe that the Wisp Core itself is the thing that has to be transformed. It is different from the others, who would transform their bodies first."
Krune couldn't help but ask.
"Wait. The way you are saying it, it seems like the races with bodies would also transform their Dantian and Demon Cores after the body transformation. In that case, wouldn't I be just jumping a step?"
Light Spirit confirmed.
"Yes, but it is precisely where the problem lies. You haven't forgotten that the Dantians and Demon Cores are a lot more fragile than the body, right? That is also why you never stay close to others when you battle in your Wisp Form. That being said, the transformation of the Dantians and Demon Cores happens very slowly. If the Cultivators and Demon Beasts don't block the excessive amount of Godly Energy with their new Godly Bodies, they would definitely shatter straight away. However, you don't have the time that they have. You need to finish your transformation, which needs to be done without a Divinity Realm Wisp Core, before Wally's protection barrier's power runs out."
Krune nodded as he asked another question.
"What about Purple Tribulation Lightning? Can't we rely on it to fend away the excess of Godly Energy?"
"We can."
Luvile said.
"However, it won't last forever. Anyway, I can understand what kind of protection Wally put on your Wisp Core. I will open a tiny gap and let the Godly Energy flow in. However, you must do your best to hold your Core together. At the same time, you will need to let your entire foundation, which is also your wisp core, bask in it."
Krune took a deep breath again.
"Alright."
Light Spirit then controlled the energy within Wally Barrier and opened that tiny gap they talked about. What passed through it was really just a bit of Godly Energy. However, one must remember that the concentration of Godly Energy in the Higher Realms simply can't be compared to the Lower Realms. When that little bit of Godly Energy touched his Wisp Core, Krune felt like the energy would tear it apart instantly.
"Concentrate, ignore the pain in your soul, focus on the Godly Energy, and spread it through your foundation. Doesn't matter what happens, you must not pass out. If that happens, you are doomed and most likely me too."
Krune's mind recovered after Light Spirit's sudden call. He then activated both his Elemental and Chaos Meridians to guide that tiny amount of Godly Energy. However, it was at this moment that something happened.
