First, Krune remembered his Divine Path Realm Breakthrough. Sure enough, it was the same as his Void Breaking Realm one. He once again had to face the Ascencion Type Tribulation. However, be it Krune or Light Spirit, both of them were fully prepared for that now. Although it was still very dangerous, Krune passed it.
By now, Krune had already achieved the 3rd Stage of the Divine Path Realm. Just as Feifei mentioned, the only one who could be compared to Krune was Cinty. After all, not only Cionty had the Chaos Meridians as well, she also had the Blackhole Major Divine Soul. Krune was behind Feifei when he entered this Holy Land, but now he is ahead.
The truth is that Krune could have gone even further, but he held himself back. He also gave up using some of his Godly Energy Stones and passed them to Lala or Heavin, for example. Although there wasn't a side effect to his foundation while using Godly Energy, his rate of improvement was too fast. Krune needed to digest the differences of every breakthrough. A Stage Breakthrough in the Divine Path Realm was utterly different from one in the Void Breaking. There was much more energy involved in the process.
As for his foundation, Krune already had difficult to even count how many stars and planets had been created with his Chaos Energy. There were also meteors, nebulas, white dwarfs, you name it. Even a few black holes could be found in it. Of course, since he could still count all of that, it showed just how tiny it was compared to a real Universe. His Universe Foundation couldn't even be considered a tenth of a single galaxy in proportion.
Nevertheless, Krune's one was far ahead of anyone at the same cultivation as his. After all, he began to expand it when he was still in the Soul Forging Realm. His foundation being more developed didn't make Krune stronger, but his Spiritual, Elemental, and Chaos Energy reserves were definitely much bigger. In a battle of attrition against opponents of the same level, Krune would definitely have the advantage as well.
Another thing that also became better was his Chaos Meridians. Just like the Elemental Meridians in the past, his Chaos Meridians also matured once more. Now they could convert almost 70% of the Elemental Source Energy into Chaos Energy instantly. Krune believes that the 100% conversion will definitely happen once he enters the Divine View Realm. With such a change, it became even more apparent how much Krune was holding back in his cultivation speed.
As for Krune's laws, that was were must of his upgrades came from. Surprisingly, Krune had achieved culmination with Charged Lightning Energy and Purple Tribulation Law Sub-Laws. Every time Krune got stuck at some point, Light Spirit was there to help him, after all. The way one comprehends the laws are not the same as the others. But it doesn't mean that you can't use others' experience to help yourself. Let alone when the Creator of the Laws himself was the one talking.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKrune had Flash Annihilation, Charged Lightning Energy, and Purple Tribulation Law finished. Now he was comprehending the Law Eating Sub-Law, which is in the Intermediate Stage. Also, the Lightning Flow that was in the Initial Stage.
Since Krune wasn't stuck anywhere with his Purple Tribulation Laws, he didn't do like Feifei and diverted his Mind Splitting Technique elsewhere. That being said, his other laws were still stopped in time. Of course, Krune had nothing to complain about it. Comprehension in other laws couldn't possibly compare to Light Spirit's one.
The place where his Purple Tribulation Laws improvement could be felt the most was in his Rainbow Domain. To use it, Krune had to keep the Purple Tribulation Domain active together with all others. Unfortunately, the Law Eating Sub-Law kept affecting the other Domains involved in it. Because of that, Krune had never been able to sustain his Ranboim Domain for more than 10 to at most 15 minutes.
However, now that he already got at the Intermediate Level of the Law Eating Sub-Law, he could control this side effect much more effectively. Of course, it was still far from perfection. Before reaching culmination with the Law Eating Sub-law, it would always affect everyone that uses Tribulation Lightning to a certain extent.
Still, his Rainbow Domain could be maintained for over 30 minutes if he wanted. Now, Krune could use it from the very start of the battle without being afraid of it crumbling in the middle.
Last but not least, Krune is getting close to reaching the Advanced Stage of his Elements Regulation Technique from his Master. He had called Lucio's will out to help him comprehend it quite a few times in the past five years, so his progress was evident. Before, he could only barely fuse together the elements gathered in his hand. But now, he could already do it with more than half. It wouldn't be long before he reaches the Advanced Stage of the technique. When that time comes, Krune will finally be able to use it as he pleases.
"My progress is going okay so far. Still, I can't let my guard down."
Krune then thought about the fights he had against the Heavenly Divine Soul Owners. He and his group had been advancing at a fast pace between the floors, so it is obvious that they would bump into them sooner or later.
"To be honest, I thought that I could even fight the Heavenly Divine Soul Owners with my level. However, they still proved to be a lot harder to deal with than I thought. I can't be more than 2 stages behind them, or I will not have the advantage. If I'm 3 stages behind, then we would be more or less evenly matched."
Feifei couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't that good enough? Three stages behind but still fighting at the same level. That should be a good thing, no?"
Krune nodded.
"It is, of course. It's just that after my improvement with the Purple Tribulation Laws, I thought I would have more advantages than that. But those Heavenly Divine Soul owners really can't be underestimated. So what if I'm progressing at this speed? Their Heavenly Divine Souls also helps them as much as Light Spirit's Purple Tribulation Lightning helps me. No wonder Heavenly Divine Soul Owners are deemed as almost invincible existences."
Light Spirit confirmed Krune's words.
"You are right. However, you are forgetting something fundamental. Each stage of the Divine Path Realm is different from each stage of the Void Breaking Realm. The amount of power gained with each one of them can't be compared. If you and the Heavenly Divine Soul Owner were both in the Void Breaking Realm, being 3 stages behind would still give you the advantage, and a big one at that. Your opponent probably would have no other choice other than flee. So don't think that your improvement is at the same level as them. In fact, you are still faster."
Laex then looked at Krune and rebuked him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What are you complaining about? I'm already in the 7th Stage of the Divine Path Realm, but you can still fight me to a standstill. I'm fucking 4 stages above you, you know?! Not to mention that I need to use my Purple Flame Dragon Pearly to be able to do that!"
While Krune advanced seven stages in the last, Laex did only five. Of course, one must remember that he doesn't have the Chaos Meridians yet. Besides, the higher the cultivation, the slower it becomes. His cultivation speed is similar to Feifei at the moment since she also doesn't have the Chaos Meridians. In fact, it should have been slower, but Krune provided him some of his Godly Energy Stones from the Light Pillar tests.
If compared to Lala, he was doing frighteningly well. Lala was at the 3rd stage when she joined Krune's group. But five years in the Holy Land only allowed her to advance 2 stages. She is now in the 5th Stage of the Divine Path Realm. This goes to show just how heaven-defying Krune's Myriad Energy Technique is. As mentioned before, when they entered the Holy Land, the Elemental Meridians had a much easier time to absorb the Godly Energy than the normal ones.
Krune did not pass her the Myriad Energies Technique. Lala also didn't ask for it at all, nor did she inquire about the technique. Lala knows that everyone has their own secrets, she is not different. In Lala's mind, she believes that this has something to do with Krune and his friends' background. Whatever it was, it shouldn't be passed to others that easily. Perhaps, there were even counter-measures that prevent them from doing so.
50th Floor.
Hanan Frunkan and his group were looking at the entrance that leads to the Origin Dimensional Realm. Different from the other floors, the origin Realm entrance looked like a big White Spatial Gate. But their group didn't mind it. If anything, they were even more sure that it probably led them to the Origin Dimensional Realm.
By now, all his group members that weren't in the 9th Stage of the Divine Path Realm before had already achieved it. That included Hanan himself. Five Years ago, he was already in the 7th stage, so going up just two stages in a place like the Holy Lands isn't anything impressive, especially when he has a Heavenly Divine Soul.
By now, all of them stopped cultivating thoroughly. At most, they kept using Chaos Energy to improve their own foundations. After all, once someone enters the Divine View Realm, they would be immediately teleported outside. In fact, such a thing has already happened a few times.
"According to the information, we have already gotten used to the Godly Energy of this Floor. However, don't rush things. We disregarded everything to reach this place as fast as possible, so we should still have an advantage over other groups. Pay attention to the surroundings since we don't know what kind of defense is waiting for us. Alright, let's go!"
