Is that a Wisp?

Krune wanted to ask who the Devil Flame God was, but Iem Turo didn't give him the time. Iem flew high on the arena as he extended his hands. Immediately, three sparks of Devil Flame appeared. One above his head and two on his sides. In just a second, those three sparks grew to the point they looked three miniature suns.

Krune could feel the scorching heat, but at the same time, it looked different from the usual heat caused by the Fire Element.

"Stop looking, do something!"

Hearing Light Spirit's alarmed voice, Krune came back to himself. Immediately, all his Diamond shields came out. Arcs Purple Tribulation Lightning surrounded them and Krune together. Right after, Tribulation Clouds accumulated above Iem.

Iem looked at Krune and laughed.

"Devil Flame Suns!"

All the miniature suns were thrown in Krune's direction.

"Purple Tribulation Lightning Movement!"

Krune wouldn't stay there waiting for it to hit him. But right after Iem threw the suns, his body blinked away. The next moment, he was already in front of Krune's escape route.

Krune was alarmed by Iem's Speed. It far surpassed the speed he showed against Tirande.

"Hahaha! Going somewhere?"

"Devil Flame Palm!"

Even with attacks coming from both sides, Krune didn't lose his calm.

"Heavens Fall Calamity!"

Several bolts of purple lightning came crashing down. As fast as the Devil Suns could be, they couldn't be faster than lightning. Immediately, the two forces hit against each other.

At the same time, Krune counter-attacked Iem's offense. The wills that Krune always kept inside his Shields came out together. All of them, Krune included, using the same skill.

"Purple Tribulation Spear!"

A total of 39 Purple Lightning Spears appeared at the same time, hitting the Devil Flame palm that was coming against Krune. Explosions raised in the front and back, shattering space. Arcs of Purple Lightning and flares of black flame ran rampant. It was just the first moves, but the Wisp and the Heavenly Race Member's attacks caused more destruction than any other fight.

*Zap!*

In a flash of Purple Lightning, Krune appeared outside the area of effect of the explosion.

*Vup!*

On the other side, Iem's body, which was covered in black flames, appeared as well.

Krune's Wisp Core had a few small scorching black marks. His Ethereal Body was a little dimmer too. Purple Lightning acted over the marks, but it seemed that Luvile's Purple Lightning was having a hard time to eliminate it.

On Iem's side, his crystalized body had a few cuts. If one looked closely, they would be able to see Purple Sparks coming out. Just like Krune, Iem's Devil Flame couldn't eliminate the Lightning Straightaway.

Be it Krune or Iem, they were both surprised. They didn't expect that the other's attack could really cause them so much damage.

Iem's eyes lit up! Suddenly, the black flames around his body grew several times. In fact, it looked like his crystallized body turned somewhat darker as well. Even space couldn't resist those black flames anymore as it contorted without stop around.

As Krune looked at that, he asked Light Spirit.

"Are those black flames made from laws that don't exist in our Universe?"

Light Spirit confirmed.

"Yes. You saw how Sentoi and Wally called me, right?"

"Purple Lightning God."

"Exactly! Those Black Flames are the fruit of another god, the Devil Flame God. As you can see, he created his own laws as well, just like me. That's why my Purple Tribulation Lightning is not stronger than it. We both have laws created in the Higher Realms. Careful, he's coming!"

Iem dashed at Krune as if he was a Spear of Black Fire. However, Krune could tell. Iem was using more Black Flames than his body could resist. That's also why his crystallized body turned darker. It was definitely being damaged in exchange for a higher power.

"Hmph!"

"Purple Tribulation Lightning, 300%!"

The Arcs of Purple Lightning around Krune immediately increased, and so did their power. Krune could use 200% without damaging his wisp core, but 300% definitely would. Still, without releasing enough Purple Tribulation Lightning, he wouldn't be able to fight Iem.

Nevertheless, Krune is a Long-Ranged attacker. As Iem approached him, Krune immediately used his Purple Tribulation Movement to widen the distance.

Of course, Iem wouldn't just look at Krune running away.

"I'm good at both close and long-ranged attacks, so let's play."

Black Flames broke out of Iem's body and assumed the shape of Black Flame Snakes. Immediately after, they pounced at Krune with speeds that surpassed Iem himself.

However, Krune wasn't idle either. Krune's wills acted in conjunction with him to send several attacks without stopping.

"Tribulation Trail Blaze!"

"Purple Earth!"

"Myriad Ice Thunder Dragons!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions of Purple and Black Fire/Lightning happened everywhere in the arena. The ground of the stage was also in pieces, and even the formations below were having a hard time to hold those two.

"What kind of power is that? Is it something that Divine Path Realm cultivators and demon beasts could do?"

"With such power, they would be able to completely trash ordinary Divine View Realm cultivators and demon beasts. Perhaps even fight a 1st Stage Semi-Divinity head-on!"

"This can't be the power of the Heavenly Divine Soul alone. The records show nothing like these two monsters in the past one hundred or so Heavenly Competitions."

Krune and Iem couldn't care less about all the conversation outside. They were fully focused on their own world.

Black Flame Wings expanded from Iem's back as his speeds increased once again. Krune knew that Iem was trying to get close to him to push for a melee fight. He is not from the Heavenly Race, so he definitely won't resist long if Iem gets close.

Twelve Shields separated from Krune's Shield Formations and formed something like two wings on his wisp core, six on each side. Purple Tribulation Lightning began to pass through them as Krune's wills controlled the discharged power.

"Tribulation Shield Wings!"

This was the first time Krune used this method in combat. He didn't like it much since it used a large amount of Purple Lightning to sustain. However, he is sure that Iem is using as much if not even more Black Flames as well.

Once again, Tribulation Clouds began to form in the sky. However, they were a mix of Purple and Black clouds. Sure enough, the Black Flames also had a type of Tribulation Power, just like Light Spirit's Lightning.

"Devil Flame Tribulation!"

"Heavens Fall Camality!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Although Krune and Iem used their Tribulation attacks, they did not come down. Instead, they attacked each other in the middle of the skies. The Explosion sounds were coming from there too. It was like the black and purple clouds were doing their best to eradicate their adversary in the air.

As Iem battled Krune, he also talked with a certain someone in his body.

"Flame God, is what you said true?"

A voice then came into Iem's mind.

"Yes! If you two time it well, we can surely open the gate. With your crystallization ability and my presence, we can definitely go there now. But we need their help."

Iem nodded.

"Alright, you talk with the other guy then."

Suddenly, a Divine Sense message reached Krune. Not only him but the existence in his foundation as well.

"Purple Lightning God, Luvile!"

Luvile wasn't surprised to hear that voice.

"Devil Flame God, Harold!"

Krune was taken aback, though.

"What is happening, who is it?"

Light Spirit ignored Krune, though.

"Harold, What are you doing here?"

Harold laughed after hearing that.

"What else could it be? Did you forget what happened all the way back? You and Cilia were not the only ones struck down. However, not in my wildest dreams would I have thought to meet you here."

Luvile agreed with him.

"Indeed, it's almost as if someone planned for that. Anyway, what happened to your body? How come you are inside that brat's foundation?"

Harold answered right after.

"That's not of your concern. Anyway, I contacted you for another reason. I need your help to open the gate. Can you give me a hand?"

As Luvile and Harold talked, the battle outside seemed to reach a stalemate. Neither side could really take the upper hand. It was by far the most thrilling battle of the entire competition. Those who haven't fought Krune or Iem even hoped that those two destroyed themselves. Otherwise, they will have no choice other than surrender. However, from the moment Luvile and Harold began to talk, no more than a few seconds passed. All thanks to how fast Divine Sense messages are.

"You want to send that kid over there? Are you crazy? He will be crushed straight away!"

Harold denied, though.

"If it was anyone else, then yes. However, with me here and his Crystallization Ability, Iem will be able to barely manage."

Luvile pondered a bit before asking.

"And why should I help you?"

"Simple. Isn't it several times better for you to be alone here? Would you really want me to stay? Do that, and I'll be gone with my kid."

Luvile immediately agreed.

"Alright."
