'What an absolute monster,' Zoitan-Kutang thought, healing Krune back to full health as she announced, "With this, it's Krune's win."
"Way to go, Krune!" Luvile was the first to explode into a cheer, happy that the Kun Realm Champion reigned supreme against the Mong Realm's trump card.
"This is… insane!" A God that observed the fight muttered. Even though he was many times stronger than Krune, that was only the current difference.
This had to be noted that he was someone that was able to observe the lifespan of other Gods, muttering in shock as his gaze alternated between Krune and Mon-Tu-Casha. "The two of them are not even thirty thousand years old."
His words slammed into the minds of all the Gods like a thunderclap. After all, who were the Gods?
They represented the pinnacle of cultivation. But, just to reach such a level took them thirty thousand years, not to mention the careful preparation that they had to make to successfully survive the final tribulation.
But, whether it was Krune or Mon-Tu-Casha, both of them were not only Gods when similarly aged cultivators tethered at the Primal God Realm. They both were terrifyingly strong.
This made them think of how strong the two would get if they were given a million years to develop. Just the notion alone caused them to shudder.

Even though Krune won this bout, it was a close victory. And just as how Mon-Tu-Casha wouldn't be able to use her dad's power beyond the Graveyard of Gods, Krune also wouldn't be able to get Luvile's or Hishe's help.
So, things might be different if they fought beyond the Graveyard of Gods. After all, Mon-Tu-Casha would regain her mobility there, able to transfer Krune's attacks onto him while she could retreat in and out of the Law Worlds to survive all attacks.
"You did well, Krune," Luvile said, patting Krune's shoulder. "After my death, I had thought my days here would be bland. But your arrival made it brighter. Thank you."
"Luvile, since all the dead Gods arrive here, there must be a way to find the whereabouts of your son…" Krune began to speak, thinking of obtaining a hint here that would allow him to revive Luvile's son later.
But suddenly, Luvile raised his hand, motioning for Krune to stop in all seriousness, stating in mild anger, "Krune, stop."
"The matter about my son… leave it."
"But…" Krune was just about to speak when Luvile glared at him, causing him to shut up.
"Way bigger things are at stake here. You just focus on that," Luvile said. "You're our Greater Universe's hope for survival. So, just focus on growing stronger. Don't take on too many burdens. It would just suffocate you further."
Upon seeing Krune becoming a bit downcast at his words, Luvile sighed as he gently patted Krune, saying, "My wife, Heavin, Iem, and others are already on it. Even Wally expressed his help. So, you needn't worry. Let them take care of this. Besides..."
He looked at Hishe, saying, "Hishe has passed on his enlightenment to Feifei about extracting information from the Kun Realm's records. She'll find a solution to everything. Let them take care of everything. You only focus on defeating the Primordial Beasts, alright?"
"Okay." Krune nodded in response, taking in a deep breath as he began to walk towards the 8th Generation God King, stopping a couple of meters before him.
Mon-Tu-Casha reflexively stood against him, taking on a protective stance before her father, preventing Krune from attacking her dad.
"Shall we begin the training?" Krune said calmly, showing no signs of anger or humiliation that he had been feeling before.
Upon seeing his stance, Mon-Tu-Casha gradually relaxed, turning around to face her dad, ready to undergo training.
"Alright." The 8th Generation God King nodded as he looked at the two before focusing on Krune. "You have a couple more abilities, right?"
"Yeah." Krune nodded.
"Show them to me," the 8th Generation God King said calmly.

"It can point at a treasure or any target that I wish to locate. The ability I used to block Mon-Tu-Casha's Godly Energy was also through this."
"Ooh, that makes sense now as to how you managed to locate your realm's Key in my realm." The 8th Generation God King nodded.
With that, Mon-Tu-Casha finally understood how Krune always seemed to attack at the right time and in the right places. It was thanks to the Soul Needle that he was able to locate his target precisely before using the Rune Realm to appear.
"The second is this…" Krune said as suddenly as his aura exploded forth rapidly, alarming the other Gods as he became terrifyingly strong. But a second later, the vast aura vanished as he almost collapsed to the ground, panting in exhaustion, looking somewhat weaker.
"So, this is what you used while fighting me before. No wonder you managed to injure me." The 8th Generation God King nodded, asking, "What is this state?"
"Trinity," Krune replied. "It's when my Godly Energy, Mental Energy, and Body Energy fuse into one."
"This is the state every God wished to attain but failed." Zoitan-Kutang exclaimed in surprise, gazing at Krune to ask, "How come you have so many powers? What race are you from?"
"You can't see through my human form?" It was Krune's turn to be surprised now as he looked at Zoitan-Kutang. "Weren't you able to read my mind?"
"For some reason, I can't see through your human form. There's some mystical shield protecting you. It's pretty strange." Zoitan-Kutang frowned before her eyes lit up, suddenly causing her to stare at the 1st Generation God King, thinking of something as she asked Krune, "Can you show me your demon beast form?"
"Sure." Krune nodded as his human form collapsed, turning ethereal as he slowly floated in the air, causing the dark blue core in him to flicker from time to time, now suffused with a purple radiance.
Upon seeing his demon beast form, Zoitan-Kutang's gaze immediately fell on the 1st Generation God King, watching him lose his cool.
With an incredulous gaze, the 1st Generation God King teared up, muttering with mixed feelings, "Is… is that a…"
"Wisp?"
