As Krune recovered, he couldn't help but comment.

"It seems like I really didn't ascend."

​​

Light Spirit confirmed.

"Obviously. I told you, your cultivation is just too low, the path would never open for you at the moment."

Krune nodded before asking.

"In the end, just why did it appear for me?"

Light Spirit pondered a bit before saying.

"The only thing I can think about is the Godly Energy. This is something from the Higher Realms, and the ascension tribulation is what you need to pass to go there. There might be some relation between the two. Of course, I can't guarantee since I've never seen such a situation before."

Heavin then spoke his piece.

"If what Light Spirit said is true, then we don't need to worry about it once we go out. Anyway, you are in the 1st Stage of the Void Breaking Realm only, so it will take a long time to reach the Divine Path. There is no need to worry about another tribulation anytime soon."

Krune nodded and then put those thoughts behind. A few hours later, Krune was back to his peak condition. He then took all his Kaleu Tribulation Shields out to check.

"There are quite a few cracks. Fortunately, the Formations didn't break."

Krune had brought all his forging tools in the Spatial Ring. After bringing everything out, he immediately started to repair them. Krune had used Kaleu Tribulation Ore to make the Shields, but there was quite a bit remaining after the Shields were done. At least, it was more than enough to repair them.

Light Spirit finished recharged his Tribulation Lightning Source not too long after. He took the chance and covered their hiding place with a Tribulation Lightning Layer to prevent the Divine Sense scan too.

Krune worked on his shields for an entire day before everything was finally repaired. Most of his Wills that he had left behind dissipated, so he infused his Shields with more of them. At his current realm, his Wills can last for years as long as their energy is not used. Even when called out, Krune believes that they can work for quite a few hours if not destroyed.

With everything finished, Krune looked at Heavin.

"Alright, I'm ready here. Are you going to try it now?"

Heavin's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded.

"But of course!"

Light Spirit then retracted the Tribulation Lightning layer, and they appeared outside.

Krune, once more, stopped using Chaos Energy for anything else other than support Heavin. It started to enter his Divine Soul without stop, and this time, it did not come back. Krune could feel the power of Heavin's Soul increasing as he observed.

The Soul Transformation Realm would, in theory, allow Heavin to create Chaos Energy without the need for his help. That would also allow him to support himself in case they really get separated one day.

The entire process took Heavin around two hours. In the end, Krune felt like his Divine Soul had changed somehow, although he couldn't tell exactly what. However, it felt somewhat familiar.

"Success!"

Krune smiled after hearing it. He also looked to the skies, and sure enough, no such thing as Heavenly Tribulation could be seen.

"Seems like the Universe really doesn't recognize your Soul Cultivation System."

Heavin laughed.

"It is too good for it to understand, that's all."

Krune didn't deny it, Mental Energy was really powerful, after all.

"So, what is different about you now?"

Heavin immediately concentrated and put his Divine Soul to work. Sure enough, Heavin was able to create Elemental Source Energy and Chaos Energy on his own now.

"Good. It is as I planned it to be. You noticed the difference in our Divine Soul, correct?"

Krune nodded before Heavin continued.

"Once you reach the Soul Transformation Realm with your own Soul, you won't feel any difference whatsoever. It only happened because I'm a Divine Soul. The crux of the issue is that now I can comprehend Laws by myself instead of having to rely on you."

Krune was surprised to hear that.

"I see, no wonder you can create Chaos Energy. After all, you have to have the support of laws to do so. If you couldn't use your own laws, it would be impossible to create Chaos Energy."

Heavin nodded.

"Exactly! Of course, the laws that you comprehended I did too, so I don't need to comprehend them again. But once I'm out, I won't have your support anymore, so I needed to make this change. I'm glad that everything worked as I expected."

Krune then got curious.

"So, what is the difference in your Mental Energy now?"

Hearing that, Heavin immediately put it to use. First, he spread his Mental Energy once more. He was able to see everything in a 30km range or so before, but now...

"Hahaha! It doubled in power, I can see everything on a 60 or so kilometers radius now!"

That was really an impressive thing. That meant that Heavin had could see further than some Early Stages Divine Path Realm cultivators and demon beasts. Krune's Soul Power is enormous for his cultivation. But even with his last breakthrough, he could only reach 15 or so km with it. Of course, his Mental Energy could go further, reaching a 20km radius.

"That's really impressive. It is one more way to keep ourselves safe. What about Mental Energy attacks?"

Heavin concentrated and tried to form a Mental Energy Blade. In just a single second, the blade was ready! That shocked Krune and Heavin more than anything else.

"Just a second? This is great! How many of those can you make at once?"

Heaving quickly concentrated, and another ten Mental Energy Blades appeared right after.

"This thing will be amazing. I can also feel that their power is much higher."

Krune agreed with Heavin.

"That is good since you use it to cover the Parrot too. When you put the God-Level Beak and the Mental Energy together, I doubt there will be anyone under the Divine Path Realm that can stop it."

Heavin was feeling extremely happy.

"Yes! Fortunately, I don't need to control this God-Level beak as you do with other equipment. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to use it. I just need to use my head to point in the right direction while using Mental Energy in front of it."

Light Spirit finally spoke at this moment.

"Everything is good and all, but you will need to go under combat experience to learn how to use your new powers. So stop wasting time and move, we can still find a few cultivators and demon beasts on the way to the next Light Pillar."

Hearing that, Krune and Heavin's eyes lit up. They, too, wanted to check just how much stronger they got now.

On the way to the Sixth Level Light Pillar, Krune found a few demon beasts and cultivators. At the moment, there isn't anyone under the Void Breaking Realm anymore. But that was also good. In the end, Krune was against a 7th Stage of the Void Breaking Realm cultivator.

As always, Krune let the other side purposely noticed him. Seeing Krune's cultivation, the enemy was surprised first. Even though the Void Breaking Realm was everywhere in the Sixth Level, a 1st Stage one was tough to find. The majority was already in the 4th Stage or above.

The guy then immediately attacked. Not because he thought that Krune would be a good opponent, but because of his cultivation. If Krune reached this place with his level, he is most likely one of those super-geniuses that entered the Holy Land. There was a very good chance that Krune would be carrying some Godly Energy Stones that he got from the Light Pillars' Rewards.

Seeing the guy coming at him, Krune smiled. Soon, waves of energy and explosions spread everywhere. However, Krune could already fight a 6th Stage 3 Heavenly Fragments Owner while in the Soul Forging Realm. Now that he is in the Void Breaking Realm too, a single Stage Higher cultivator couldn't pose too much of a threat to him. Let alone one without a Single Heavenly Fragment.

Not too long after, that cultivator turned around and fled for his life. Krune didn't stop him, though. He looked at that and only smiled.

"Indeed, only other Heavenly Fragment owners can prove to be a challenge now. And even then, they will need to be a lot stronger."

Light Spirit agreed.

"That's to be expected. You have your Elemental and Chaos Meridians, and now your Divine Soul can control Chaos Energy much better than before. If you put your Two Heavenly Fragments and my Purple Tribulation Lightning in the mix, this result is more than expected."

Krune then gathered the elements in his hands and tried to fuse them together. Although most of it didn't fuse, a small bit still did.

"Too bad that I can't use my Elements Regulation Technique like Master yet. I tried to use this little bit of Fused Elements in the battle just now, but it takes too long to gather. In the end, it is much better to simply keep using the Elements as I've been doing so far."

Krune then looked at Heavin.

"How was on your side?"

Heavin nodded before explaining.

"The upgrade in Mental Energy made everything much easier. It wouldn't be too hard if I wanted to kill that guy. However, I'm already feeling the limitations of a Peak Golden Stars Puppet. Even though part of the Parrot Puppet was made with Purple Flame Forged Metals, it has its limit."

Krune agreed with him.

"Void Breaking Realm is also considered the Diamond Stars Realm. For your Parrot to be struggling now is well within expectation. You also brought your Puppeteer equipment and a lot of materials with you, no? Why don't you make a few modifications next time I stop to cultivate? I don't mind forging some of the parts necessary since I can keep cultivating anyway."

Heavin pondered a bit and admitted that it was a good idea.

"Very well. I couldn't practice my Puppeteer Skills before since there was not enough Chaos Energy for the two of us. But now, I can create my own Chaos Energy, so I can focus on it again."

Krune smiled.

"Just don't forget to leave part of your mind focused on cultivating your Soul Cultivation Technique. Since you can also use Godly Energy, it would be a waste if you didn't use every second available to do it."

Heavin agreed once more.

"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten my priorities."

Krune and Heavin then departed once more. They still wanted to have some extra combat experience. If possible, find someone stronger than the last guy. A Heavenly Fragment Owner, perhaps.
