Is that a Wisp?

Their excursion continued forward. Finally, they arrived at one of the floating islands in the Sealed Space. This island was one of those connected by small roots from the main one too. Surprisingly, it looked like a forest, even though it is separated from the outside world. But other than the plants, no other types of life could be seen.

As soon as they approached the island, they were forced to land. As mentioned before, only the Mortal Rejection Realm and above are able to fly. The only reason their group was 'flying' was that they were in the middle of the void. There was nothing pulling them in any direction, so they could use their Godly Energy to keep moving forward.

After they landed, Jimage looked around but didn't see anyone.

"It seems like no one is around. Still, the other teams might have come through the other side. Of course, they might have gone to other islands too. Anyway, let's start our search. We can't locate the node if we are too far away, so we need to keep close to the ground."

Everyone nodded, and they began to move. This forest trees were really tall, each one was over a hundred meters in length. There was also the issue with the restrictions on one's Divine Senses. The one with the furthest Divine Sense was obviously Jimage, who was able to spread it for over a kilometer. The other Semi-Divinity cultivators and demons bests couldn't go more than 200 or so meters. In Iem's case, his soul power isn't any weaker than the Semi-Divinity members. In fact, he was even a little above, which allowed him to reach 250 meters more or less.

Krune's Soul Power was similar to Iem, so his Divine Sense was also spreading around the same distance. However, Krune was now in the 5th Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, so his Mental Energy was much stronger. Even though Godly Energy also significantly restricted his Mental Energy Scan, it wasn't as much as Divine Sense. Krune was able to see everything around him up to 3km, more than double of Jimage! Of course, he didn't point it out.

Their group then separated into a big line so that they could cover a bigger area. However, they made sure to keep the others on their sides inside their Divine Sense range. Jimage stayed in the center while the other two Divinity Realm members were on both his sides around a km away. Then you had the Semi-Divinity Realm members who further spread to the sides. Finally, you had Krune and Iem at the very end of both sides.

Suddenly, Krune noticed an area appearing inside his Mental Energy range, which Godly Energy was far more chaotic. He quickly warned Jimage and the others, who came to take a look.

Jimage looked at the chaotic space in front of him and extended his hand forward. He tried to feel how chaotic it was to see if they could enter with the Divinity Realm members or if they would need to send the Semi-Divinity ones.

However, it was at this moment that Krune felt a feeble fluctuation in space close to Jimage. Suddenly, he saw some kind of semi-transparent claws coming directly at Jimage's head. His expression quickly changed as his Shields flew out of his Spatial Ring. He also warned Jimage with his Divine Sense.

"Careful!"

Jimage was taken aback and jumped back almost instantly. However, the claws appeared too abruptly, so he didn't have time to dodge. Still, because Krune was close to him and he used his Mental Energy perception, he was faster in reacting to that. Krune's shields appeared in front of Jimage just in time to block the sneak attack.

*Clang!*

With just one strike, Krune's shields were sent flying! Krune immediately understood that this was one of the Space Type Creatures that they were warned about. Not only that, the force that it sent his shields flying showed that it was a creature at the Divinity Realm level without a doubt.

Fortunately, that split of a second was enough time for Jimage to react. He dodged the attack by a hair and appeared several meters away. His expression was as dark as it could be. He brought out his sword and immediately pounced at the beast before it could hide in space again. Sword Intent covered his sword as it hit the space perfectly at the point where the creature was.

*Roar!*

The creature didn't have enough time to completely hide in space and was forced out by Jimage's attack. Although it was at the Divinity Realm level, it could only be considered at the 4th or 5th stage at most. Jimages' cultivation reached the peak of the Divinity Realm, so the beast obviously wasn't a match for him.

"Beast, you dare raise your hands against me?"

"Hundred Sundering Swords!"

Jimage slashed against the creature a hundred times in a single second, making a hundred sword energy beans filled with sword intent that targeted the beast from everywhere around it.

Jimage wasn't the only one. His two Divinity Realm companions, Xanala and Rui, also attacked as soon as they noticed what was happening.

"Dragon Fire Spears!"

"Myriad Formless Blades!"

*Boom, boom, boom!*

*Roar!*

The creature couldn't resist the attacks of three Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beasts at once, so it immediately tried to flee. However, Jimage was already expecting for that, so he blocked its escape route.

"Die!"

Finally, he cut the beast in half, putting an end to it.

However, Krune's expression changed once more. He could feel other feeble fluctuations in space with his Mental Energy. Not only him, but his group members also noticed it this time with their Divine Senses. It's just that they only detected the ones close to them. Jimage quickly asserted the situation before saying.

"There are two Divinity Realm level creatures and five at the Semi-Divinity Realm. They probably noticed the energy fluctuations of the last battle and came here. Still, this is easy to deal with. Xanala, you help the Semi-Divinity members get read of the Semi-Divinity Level creatures. Rui and I will hold the Divinity Level ones. Finish them fast so that you can give us support."

Jimage seemed experienced in group battles, so he gave several other orders to everyone too. Right after, Rui and Jimage rushed at the Divinity Realm creatures. The good thing was that those ones were not at the Late Stages Divinity Realm level, so Jimage and Rui held the advantage from the start.

Krune, Iem, Xalana, and everyone else then attacked the creatures at the Semi-Divinity Realm level. Half of Krune's shields came out, and they orbited around the group. Although they had the numbers and power advantage, he wouldn't risk letting the others being sneak attacked again.

Fortunately, everything went fine. Xanala was at the Divinity Realm 3rd Stage, so her power alone was enough to kill one creature after another. When there was only one remaining, she told Krune's side to deal with it and immediately rushed to Rui's side to fight the Divinity Realm ones.

Krune's side finished the last beast in a few seconds. As for Jimage's one, they took another minute or so since there were two Divinity Realm level creatures.

After all the creatures were slain, Krune and Iem finally stopped to take a look at them. Their forms were bizarre. Their bodies were semi-transparent, and it seems like it was blending with the space around even after death.

'No, they were not alive to start with.'

Krune was right. A few moments after, their bodies began to transform into specs of silver light that disappeared in the air. From the looks of it, they really didn't have any intelligence. Or maybe they had a little since the first one tried to use a sneak attack. Perhaps it was also part of their instinct.

Jimage then took a deep breath and sheathed his sword. The others also put their weapons away and looked at the creatures disappearing.

"So scary... It was my first time seeing these beasts. They really can sneak close to us without notice. Only when they start an attack can we detect their presences with our Divine Senses."

Jimage nodded and then looked at Krune.

"Nice job noticing that attack. I also noticed the fluctuation in space when that creature began to attack me. However, it was so subtle that I thought it was because of the chaotic space in front of me."

Krune nodded.

"It's okay. I was just lucky enough to be looking in the creature's direction when it came out. Otherwise, I would definitely have thought the same thing as you, Senior Jimage."

Jimage smiled and nodded back. He didn't doubt Krune. After all, with their difference in cultivation, only like that would Krune be able to react faster than him... or so he thought. Little did he know that Krune used his Mental Energy to do it. Nonetheless, Krune was able to shield him from the sneak attack. Although he had confidence that he wouldn't die, there would still be an injury left behind. It was best if he didn't have to spend time healing his body.

Jimage then returned his attention to the chaotic space in front of the group and focused on it once more. After a minute or so, he retracted his hand.

"Good! This space can hold Divinity Realm levels. Let's all enter and locate the Godly Stone Node. Be careful, Spatial Tears and Space Creatures should be even more common in there."

Everyone nodded, and they stepped inside with Jimage, quickly disappearing from sight.
