Is that a Wisp?

Krune finally arrived at the fifth and last Light Pillar with a safe zone. As soon as everyone present saw him, there were surprised. That is because so far, no one below the Void Breaking Realm had arrived at this place. Still, Krune is in the 8th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm, so they couldn't be blamed for feeling like that.

As Heavin mentioned before, Krune took around two days to arrive. On the way, Krune had another two chances to battle. Surprisingly, one of those battles gave him a Time and Space Heavenly Fragments, which Krune made sure to keep with him. That being said, Krune now had Two Space Heavenly Fragments from different Universes as well as one Yin, Destiny, and Time ones.

However, it seemed like no one in the middle of this group of cultivators and demon beasts felt theses fragments' presence. He couldn't help but sigh at this view. It meant that there would be no one to buy his Heavenly Fragments.

"Whatever, let's see how many Godly Stones I have the right to take now."

Krune sent his Divine Sense inside and soon checked what he needed.

"4th position, uh? That is good enough. As long as I get 10 Godly Stones, the position won't matter that much."

Krune didn't take those Godly Energy Stones out, though. He would have to cultivate for the next two months without them, so there was no need to catch everyone's attention by summoning those stones now.

However, a day later, after he started to cultivate, someone who just arrived recognized him.

"Ah! You are the top ranker from before."

With that, everyone looked at Krune at the same time. That couldn't be helped, there are just so many Dimensional Realms for the first 9 levels, after all. Sooner or later, Krune would meet someone he met from the previous Light Pillars.

A cultivator then asked the newcomer.

"What is his name, do you know?"

"Yes, he is the one called Lakin. I saw his Willpower test on the Third level Light Pillar."

Everyone immediately accessed the Fifth Level Light Pillar and confirmed his ranking. As expected, they soon found Krune in the 4th position of the previous Light Pillar. That meant that Krune still had 10 Godly Stones to retrieve from the system.

"Hey kid, what about bringing out the Godly Stones?"

Obviously, the same process of threatening but no action happened once more. Krune, once again, could only ignore it. However, it was at this moment that Krune's expression changed. It was not because of that they said, but because of something that disappeared inside his Foundation.

"Gilia's Soul Slive disappeared!"

Light Spirit confirmed. After all, the Soul Slives that Krune kept were close to him as well.

"That can only mean one thing, she is dead."

Krune thought about Gilia, Wamie Zark's protector. Those two girls separated from him on the first floor. So there is no doubt that they got separated as well once they went up. In the end, Krune shook his head and sat down again. There was nothing he could do about it. Not to mention that everyone knew very well about the risks of coming to this place.

"Light Spirit. how is F-"

"She's fine, the Tribulation Lightning Essence left in her is still there."

Light Spirit already expected that question, so he immediately answered.

Krune nodded and put all those thoughts behind his mind. As for the people and beasts threatening him, he couldn't care less at the moment. He would be here for the next two to three months, after all.

Somewhere else in a Fourth Level Dimensional Realm, Wamie Zark's fell on the ground while she wept. She obviously had a way of knowing whether Gilia was well or not, so the moment Gilia died, she found out just like Krune. Gilia had been with her for a very long time, and she was her best friend. Their relationship was beyond being just a protector and protege.

"Gilia..."

She stayed there on the ground for over an hour, without moving at all. She didn't want to do anything at the moment due to her sadness. However, it wouldn't stay like that for long. At some point, a demon beast noticed her presence, and especially her 1st Stage of the Void Breaking Realm cultivation.

In the six months inside the Holy Land, Wamie's cultivation went from the 8th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm to the Void Breaking's 1st Stage. She even got a few Godly Energy Stones thanks to the Elemental Meridians. So she could be said to be improving really fast at the moment.

Everyone in the Holy Land was here for cultivation and fast improvement. That demon beast didn't have anything against Wamie; it's just that she had the same cultivation as him. That being said, he thought that battling her would give him valuable battle experience. There was no lack of battles in the Holy Land that started for this same reason.

However, he couldn't have selected a worse time for such a thing. Seeing that this Demon Beast was coming at her, Wamie felt enraged! With her Elemental Meridians and Life Heavenly Fragment, she had a fighting prowess several stages higher than her own. That Demon Beast wasn't a Heavenly Fragment Owner either. Not surprisingly, he was completely trashed by Wamie.

Instead of killing him, Wamie used the poor guy to release her anger. There was a time that the demon beast even begged for death, but she didn't care. Once she was finished, one couldn't even tell if the demon beast was dead or alive. Still, wamie didn't cripple his cultivation, so if he was lucky, he might be able to recover in the future.

As Wamie flew away, she murmured to herself.

"Gilia, I will definitely find who did it to you."

Wamie then disappeared in the distance, heading to the next Light Pillar.

Laex was on the sixth Level at the moment, one above Krune. He went up one cultivation level in the past six months, being now in the 1st Stage of the Divine Path Realm. Although it was only a stage, it was a Realm Breakthrough, so his power increased a lot more than a breakthrough in the same Realm's stages.

He had been worried about Liriu just like Tiane and Ruik, but even after looking for information everywhere between the cultivators and demon beasts, he didn't find any clue. Without any other choice, he could just go up and expect to meet the others in the 10th Level.

However, while he was following the flow of Godly Energy, he ended bumping into another Dragon Race member. Worst of all, it was someone he knew.

"Drovax!"

Laex knew this Dragon from the time he stayed in the Dragon Race. He was 21 years older than Laex and had a very serious personality. He often gave training to the young Dragons in the Dragon Race territory, and Laex still remembered just how spartan he was.

Due to Drovax's Divine Sense, he noticed Laex's presence first. Although Laex had a different appearance, Drovax would never mistake his aura.

"Laex!"

Laex, of course, turned around and fled straight away. He really didn't want to get involved with this guy. There was nothing more than bad memories when it comes to Drovax.

"Laex, you better stop right there! If you don't, don't blame me for being nasty!"

"Who the hell would stop? Shoo, shoo! You are one of the last Dragon I want to see in my life!"

"Hmph! Don't say that I didn't warn you."

Drovax speed suddenly increased, and the distance between them began to reduce. Drovax was already in the 4th Stage of the Divine Path Realm, and he was mainly focused on Wind Element and Laws. That was also why he could be so fast.

"Shit!"

Laex put even more effort into the running, but Drovax still caught him up in the end.

"Dragon Stomp!"

Boom!

Laex's body was hit, and he crashed against the ground. However, Drovax wasn't really trying to hurt Laex, so Laex only received a few bruises. First of all, neither of them turned back into their Dragon Forms, so it was obvious that they weren't going all out.

Drovax then landed beside Laex while looked at that ragged body on the ground.

"I told you to wait, didn't I? Do you perhaps want to receive my punishments like in the past? I still have my Dragon Rod with me, you know?"

That Rod was made specially to be used against young dragons who didn't follow the orders. Although it didn't cause any injury to the body, it inflicted a terrible pain. With Laex's personality, one can already imagine just how many times he was spanked by it. Those were real, painful memories.

Laex felt a chill on his back when he heard that and immediately kneeled in front of Drovax.

"Ancestor Drovax, there is no need for such seriousness. This lowly one was just showing how fast he became after receiving your training in the past. How could I really run in front of my great big brother?"

"Hmph! If I didn't know you, perhaps I would fall for this trick."

Drovax's eyes then got serious before entering the main topic.

"I will not ask how the hell you got a slot to enter the Holy Land. However, the Dracophoenix is another story. Speak, where is it?"

Laex then looked away as he spoke.

"Oh! That? Did you see the video I sent Uncle? I'm being controlled by that Dracophoenix, so I really can't tell you anything, it is his orders."

Drovax then took out a rod that was covered in azure scales from his spatial ring.

"Who the hell would believe that you are under control with that trash performance?! I see, so you don't want to talk, uh? Don't worry, I will make you change your mind. Just so that you know, the elders already asked a few Divinity Realm cultivators and Demon Beasts with Destiny Major Divine Souls for help. After putting their efforts together, they were able to confirm that the Dracophoenix was really alive. It seems like you really know him, too, so you better be prepared."

Laex's expression changed when he saw that azure Rod, but he was still adamant about not saying anything.

"I already did my part and told the Dragon and Phoenix Races that the Dracophoenix existed. My duty to you and the elders is completed. But other than that, I won't say anything else. You guys will have to find him by yourselves."

Seeing Laex's determined expression made Drovax hesitate a bit. He had never shown such a face in front of him in the past. But he soon came back to himself.

"Whether you want or not, you will talk, even if I have to force it out of you."
