Is that a Wisp?

Everywhere before them, countless precious treasures grew, sparking fights all over the place.

To avoid this, Krune and Sterlena had been running ahead of everyone, intending to reap all benefits that came their way without having to compete with others.

Soon, they crossed the edge of the place, finally entering the true core of the infant supercontinent.

The basic quality of Godly Energy here was equivalent to a Rank 2 God Stone. It was not to mention the mysterious treasures that were growing like cabbage here.

The treasures at the start were already impressive enough. Though, the ones that came after that made everyone drool in greed.

Hovering on the ground, scattered about, were gemstones of various sizes and colors. And all of them emanated a suffocating aura.

The bigger the gemstone, the stronger the aura.

"Move!" a cultivator shouted, blasting away his competitor as he jumped onto a gemstone that glowed red. However, just as he neared it, his body was drowned by a sea of fire, eliciting mournful screams from him.

Suddenly, a sea of flames wrapped around the red gemstone, turning it into a giant.

"It's a Fire Deity!" a knowledgeable cultivator shouted.

"What's a Fire Deity?" Krune asked in surprise, having witnessed the scene. For some reason, his senses had warned him not to approach the gemstones. Hence, he had avoided them. Sterlena also did the same.

"A Fire Deity is an entity that's created from the Law of Fire. It's not a living creature, but just the condensed Law of Fire within that had taken up shape over prolonged existence," Sterlena replied, pointing at the other gemstones scattered about. "Each gemstone is the condensation of a respective law."

"If you kill the respective Deity that forms, grab hold of the gemstone, and absorb it, your comprehension of the respective Law would increase automatically," she added. "This is the shortest way to become a powerhouse."

"A Law Deity Core used to be so expensive that they were incredibly rare before," she muttered in shock, gazing around. "But now, there are so many scattered about."

"What do we do now?" Krune asked.

"I wasn't sure at first. But since it's confirmed that they're Law Deities, we can't leave them be." She nodded in all seriousness as she said, "We'll hunt as many as possible and strengthen ourselves."

"Let's split up. That'll be more efficient. Though, don't go too far away from me," she said before vanishing from the spot, leaving behind a line. "Also, the bigger the gemstone, the stronger the Law Deity. So, take care."

"Understood." Nodding in response, Krune stopped, taking in a deep breath before unleashing his Mental Energy Scan.

Unlike before, when it spread out radially just like Divine Sense, it was now like a three-dimensional amoeba, extending at discrete locations into long tendrils, giving him more reach.

On top of that, it was constantly revolving around him, ensuring there weren't any blind spots.

'Now, which Law should I focus on first?' Thinking for a moment, he targeted a gray-colored gemstone first, watching it take shape immediately, condensing into a Wind Deity.

Krune slammed ice onto it while activating the Cloud Whale within him, causing wind currents to revolve around him, propelling him further as he slammed into it.

The Wind Deity he had chosen was at the Semi-God Realm in power. So, it was a fairly tough opponent.

Though, the moment he slammed into it, he spiked his ice, freezing the Wind Deity as he took out his Pestlor, expanded it in size and smacked the Wind Deity into the ground.

The Wind Deity had a humanoid upper half that consisted of swirling wind. Around its hips was where its body thinned out, ending with the core. So, he could target its upper body without hesitation, not afraid that he would hurt the core.

The force of his impact shattered the layer of ice, also destroying the layer of ice that it had frozen, turning the Wind Deity smaller than before.

Upon seeing that it was working, he summoned a palm-sized Cloud Whale, filling it to the brim with frozen blood as he threw it into the Wind Deity. The force of the impact caused the Cloud Whale to pierce through half the Wind Deity's body before exploding, freezing its body from the inside.

He then slammed Pestlor into it, breaking off the chunk of ice, repeating the process some more times until the Wind Deity was reduced to the size of his palm.

Krune extended his hand and froze it completely, shattering it as he grabbed hold of the Wind Deity Core and sent it into his subspace.

There, one of his clones sat cross-legged and began to absorb it. 'I see. It takes a lot of time to absorb a core. So, it's not something the cultivators can do while in battle.'

Understanding the case, he noticed that many cultivators were only strutting about, awakening the Law Deities one after another. Though, they didn't exert much effort, calmly eyeing the ones that fought with all their might.

Since they couldn't be absorbed while engaged in a battle, their only option was to store the Law Deity Cores. Once they were exhausted, another cultivator could come and kill them, reaping the benefits instead.

'Damn it!' When Krune noticed that most of the immortals were doing the same, he gritted his teeth in anger. Of course, there were also exceptions to this, especially the ex-Primal Gods.

They had enough confidence in themselves to maintain enough strength to deal with the aftermath.

Though, even after he realized the situation at play, Krune didn't stop, targeting a second Wind Deity. After all, he didn't have such a limitation, having a lot of clones to call forth.

Plus, thanks to the Cultivation Lotus, he didn't have to worry about his Godly Energy reserves either. He was constantly at full power.

"Hah!" He condensed a lot of power, unleashing an Air Needle by fusing the frozen blood into it. The Air Needle was now the Frozen Blood Needle, piercing through the wind giant as it was completely frozen over.

He then smacked it apart with his Pestlor, storing the Wind Deity Core in his subspace. It was only now that he realized something.

Body cultivation, soul cultivation, energy cultivation; with all three supporting him, as a Nascent God, a cultivator at the Semi-God Realm was no longer his opponent.
