Is That A Wisp? Chapter 897
Advertisement
Krune took a step forward and lost balance in his legs, panting as the Godly Energy in his body turned sluggish. Even though he had finished reconstructing his body, the laws in him hadn't finished reorienting themselves into their previous positions yet.
With that, he was unable to even circulate Godly Energy or walk for the time being. As Krune sat cross-legged on the ground, the flesh on his face squirmed from time to time. Even though he had a fleshly body, their actual makeup had become infused with the laws that made up his Spiritual Incarnation.
So, the functions in his body had turned incredibly complex. The organs had become a cluster of laws that formed a circuit to execute the same function as the respective organ while also resembling it.
So, if Krune said he was a physical being right now, it was only partially true. Without any Godly Energy, he was just a cluster of ethereal laws forming a circuit. Only by fuelling them with Godly Energy and activating all the laws would his physical body appear.
It was like creating earth by infusing Godly Energy into the laws of earth.
That was why Krune was patiently waiting as he sensed the laws slowly return to their original positions. It did take some time since he couldn't just brute force and short-circuit himself. As the cluster of laws in his body moved to their respective places, the flow of Godly Energy in his body soon returning, coming from the place it had accumulated within and flowing back into his Wisp Core.
After that, it gushed out once again, traveling through the channel set up by the Godly Meridians that began to form once again. Slowly, after an hour had passed, Krune managed to finish one circulation of his Godly Energy, heaving a sigh of relief as he got up.
He had fully recovered now. Krune didn't even remember the number of times he had died in the short travel. Thankfully for him, none of the attacks that injured him were law-based. So, as long as he reined in his law cluster, he quickly revived by consuming some Godly Energy...or, in other words, the Pseudo-Wisps in his subspace.
If the attacks contained some laws, these laws would get lodged in his body, blocking the circuit his Spiritual Incarnation had formed. It would hinder the operations of his body, adversely affecting him by collapsing the balance in his body.
This was the reason only a cultivator with a Spiritual Incarnation could take one another of his kind.
Once he had fully recovered, Krune turned around to see Cultivator relaxing on the ground as he fiddled with a ring, gazing at the sky through it. Upon noticing the gaze, he sighed as he got up, saying, "Sorry, that was risky."

"It's fine. I was prepared to face it," Krune nodded as he replied. "As long as I don't die, the experience would make me stronger. That was the reason I set off on this journey in the first place. Don't worry too much about something like that."
"That's good, then." Cultivator nodded, summoning the ring spirit that looked similar to a Zenith Plugger."Well, let's get going. We'll have to reach the Sub-Realm soon. There's still a lot of distance for us to traverse."
"Alright." Krune nodded as he jumped and took a seat on the ring spirit's back, watching it begin to run once again. Upon seeing the massive demon beast run through the path, the people that were traveling through it moved to the side immediately.
Along the way, Krune did come across some merchant caravans that were moving through it. But after hearing the news, they were no longer going towards the next city, Hworn City. They had changed their course to the Sub-Realm.
After all, in a place that possessed numerous treasures, probably no one would want to avoid it. Plus, dangers were accompanied everywhere in the God Realm, so they weren't worried about that. Their focus was primarily on the treasures they would obtain inside it.
As the Zenith Plugger lookalike ring spirit moved through the path, it didn't encounter any obstruction. It seemed as they approached closer and closer to the Sub-Realm, the intention of people to fight and rob continued to reduce.
After all, instead of fighting for some chump change in the hands of the cultivators, they could preserve their strength and use it to harvest a ton of treasures in the Sub-Realm. That was what went on in the minds of everyone in the region, bandits included.
It was the first time since its appearance had the fights and bloodshed in the Four Sectors' Border Region turned non-existent, almost none to the extent it could be mistaken for a utopia of peace. Seeing as how they had nothing else to do, Krune started to cultivate, absorbing the bodies of the Pseudo-Wisps to do so.
By absorbing a Pseudo-Wisp, his cultivation base increased by a tenth. After all, the Pseudo-Wisps were also in the same realm as him energy quantity and quality-wise. So, they increased the efficiency of his cultivation.
The moment he absorbed them into his body, the Godly Energy directly coursed through his Godly Meridians, settling within immediately as it flowed into his Wisp Core, elevating his cultivation base a little.
On the other side, Little Krune was cultivating as it comprehended the laws that made up his subspace, slowly but surely increasing its size. Moreover, every time Krune absorbed a Pseudo-Wisp to fuel his cultivation, it created a new one and made it cultivate.

The supply exceeded demand, so Krune didn't have to worry about running out of Pseudo-Wisps to cultivate. After all, it took him at least 4-5 days to absorb and digest one completely. And, as there were one hundred Pseudo-Wisps in total, a significant portion of them had already reached his maximum cultivation base.
As they couldn't proceed beyond that level, they were only waiting, having nothing else to do. Once Little Krune caught up with his cultivation, it waited, unwilling to waste its time cultivating, for its speed of cultivation was faster than Krune.
After all, Krune was using the Pseudo-Wisps to cultivate. Little Krune, on the other hand, had access to the tremendous reserve of Godly Energy in the energy-gathering formation. So, it could easily cultivate faster and catch up to him whenever it needed.
It fragmented itself into seven, the maximum it could accomplish at the moment. All of them inhabited a Pseudo-Wisp each, turning them into clones. One clone remained behind in the energy-gathering formation to assist Krune constantly. The clone's tasks ranged from sending him Pseudo-Wisps to cultivate, comprehend the laws of the subspace, and so on.
The remaining six clones exited the formation and went in six different directions in search of resources to mine. After all, Krune was in dire need of good equipment. His shields were already proving to be insufficient for him. So, in order to forge him new shields, it needed resources to do so.
And, to obtain it, they had to move very far. After all, the Zamuria Empire had basically looted every grass and stone with any worth in almost every area covering the continent. Moreover, Krune also wanted to find a spot to put down another Land Incarnation, a second contingency measure to revive.
He also planned to set up the energy-gathering formation using the laws of his Land Incarnation. So that way, it would be accumulating a lot of energy, allowing him to quickly revive when needed. So, he planned to find a discrete location without any people or demon beasts for that.
And to do it, Krune wished to head towards any of the smaller islands beyond the Zamuria Continent. There ought to be some that had been inhabited. Sunkan City was one of the outermost cities in the Zamuria Continent.
So, after transforming into a flight-type demon beast, all the six clones flew in slightly different directions, keeping their goal to exit Zamuria Continent first before finding a suitable place.
After all, as long as he laid down the Land Incarnation, recalling the sent fragments were easy. They would just commit suicide in that place while plopping the Land Incarnation. After that, the remaining clone in the Lawless Plains would consume a lot of Godly Energy from its surroundings and recondense all the fragments back.
Even if all the fragments were destroyed, Little Krune could easily revive through the Land Incarnation. So, Krune had zero concerns. Moreover, he did plan to have six clones with him. After all, they might come in handy during his fights.
He only decided to leave one clone in the energy-gathering formation. After all, with one fragment, reviving would become easier for him. It was just in case the Sub-Realm proved to be too treacherous.
Moreover, he had a hunch that all teleportation abilities would be blocked between the Sub-Realm and the outside world of the God Realm. So, he planned to be prepared before then. If possible, he wished to reach the Eighth Stage of the God Foundation Realm before that happened.
Though, based on his speed of progression, Krune realized that he wouldn't make it on time. Sighing, he could only continue cultivating, comprehending his subspace on the side in an effort to increase its size as much as possible.
He wished to stuff as many Pseudo-Wisps as he could in it. Though, once he thought about it, Krune realized he could already stuff all one hundred in it if he needed to. All he had to do was make them take on their true forms and reduce the size of their ethereal forms. After all, only their Wisp Cores were their true body.
It was easy to stuff one hundred Wisp Cores in his subspace. Time passed in such a fashion as Krune and Cultivator hardly talked with each other. They were busy cultivating, intending to make themselves as strong as possible by the time they entered the Sub-Realm.
After all, as they closed in on their destination, they could feel blasts of powerful aura, enough to cause them to shudder from time to time. There were quite a few of them, causing the two to slow down their approach to appear less imposing.
Followed by a sigh, Krune opened his eyes, looking around to see the canyon walls span a height of two kilometers. On top of that, trailing above them were the Predominated Vines, insanely sized and more powerful when compared to before.
Not long after, his eyes widened in shock. Cultivator noticed the issue as he too looked in the same direction, frowning as he could feel a vast shadow cast over them as the ring spirit moved.
Hovering in the densest place, at the heart of the Four Sectors' Border Region, positioned right above the Predominated Vines without being affected, was a giant mountain-sized demon beast overlooking everything.
Neither the region's Suppression Law nor the Predominated Vines did anything to it.

Will Nirvania stand strong against its foes, or crumble and be washed away by the sands of time? 2 years had passed since the conclusion of the 3rd Holy War, which was achieved by the combined efforts of the Nirvanian Army, the 10 Saints and Kai's team, which have been affectionately known thereafter as the Rising 8; a group of rapidly rising youths revered as national heroes for their contributions in putting an end to the 3rd Holy War.
