Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 843 Tribulation

Roben, Dima, and Zap felt like they had heard a ghost. Laws with sentience? Was such a thing possible?

"Di-Did you already know that the Calamity Laws had sentience, Krune?"

Krune was already crying as he replied.

"Obviously not! I only cursed out loud to release my anger! I never expected it to answer! First of all, I didn't know it could answer!"

Dima then put those thoughts behind. They could think about that later. The problem now was that Krune was having a Tribulation while still in the middle of the city.

"Anyway, you can't have your Tribulation here. All tribulations will only come down once the target has finished his breakthrough. That being said, I'm moving you out of the city with me."

Krune nodded in response. The last thing he needed was to acquire more debt. Dima then held Krune, Roben, and Zap with his God Energy before flying away from Sunkan City in a flash. Krune was quite lucky at this point since Dima was already in the Semi-God Realm, so he was able to fly.

Sure enough, the moment Krune began to leave the city, the Tribulation Clouds followed hot in pursuit. Dima didn't go too far, though. He was afraid that Krune's breakthrough would finish at any moment. If that happened, he would be considered as someone trying to stop it. Everyone knew that any intervention would only increase the power of the tribulations.

A few tens of kilometers away from the city, Dima dropped Krune on top of a small hill. A few cultivators and demon beasts were around since it was close to the city, but they all ran away when they saw the Tribulation Clouds above.

Krune then brought a few more God Stones out and continued the process. He already started, so he couldn't stop anymore. Otherwise, he would receive a backlash. Eventually, his Soul fused with his Foundation and Wisp Core completely, completing his breakthrough. The moment that happened, his cultivation began to increase at breakneck speeds. Only when he achieved the 1st Stage of the God Foundation Realm did it stabilize.

Of course, Krune wasn't happy with that. He quickly looked at the skies and could tell that the Tribulation was coming for him. He didn't forge any equipment, so he could only use his Myriad Lightning Shields from back in the Godly Path Realm. Of course, it was better than nothing.

Krune did have an advantage, though. Tribulations were made to match the cultivator's power. That being said, Dima could tell that Krune's Tribulation was several times weaker than his own. If it was him in Krune's place, he could fend it off with a single hand.

'Well, if it was me, it would be much stronger as well.'

Roben then looked at Dima and asked.

"Guild Master. Is there a way to help him? I don't think he can fight against a Tribulation at his level."

Dima shook his head as he replied.

"There's nothing we can do. The moment any of us intervene, the Tribulation will power up to match our cultivation. That will only kill Krune faster."

They could only pray that Krune had what it took for it.

While they were talking, Krune's 102 shields flew out of his Spatial Ring and created a barrier above his head. That sight surprised Dima's group. After all, controlling this amount of equipment was anything but easy. Not only that, but Krune seemed to be extremely proficient with it.

'Has he been training with them?'

Of course, Krune lived his life with the shields, so it wasn't a problem for him anymore.

'Time to test it out.'

Krune didn't try to use the Calamity Laws since that thing might try to mess with him again. Instead, he tried to use his Balance Laws for the first time since he came up with the idea. His God Energy and Soul Power, both necessary to control it, quickly spread around his shields as Krune tried to create them.

'I only barely created the Initial Stage of the Elements Cooperation Sub-Law. I won't be able to use it for more than a second or two, nor can it be used in attacks. However, it should give my shields a big boost in defense, even if just for that long.'

However, it was then that Krune noticed something surprising. The Calamity Laws had a dark color when gathered. The Fused Elements of the Soul Cultivation Technique and the Mental Energy Source were also dark in color. However, his Balance Laws were...

"Rainbow?"

"So colorful..."

"Now I understand why he likes to use that colored hair of his."

Krune wanted to cry once again.

'Who the hell likes to use colored hair? It's all a coincidence, okay? Trust me, I'm not doing it on purpose at all! Fuck, could you be, I don't know, white? No, even if you had kept the same dark theme, I wouldn't mind. Why must you always be rainbow? What kind of destiny is that where everything I do has to be rainbow colored?'

Unfortunately, Krune didn't have much time to keep cursing at his destiny. That's because a lightning bolt came crashing down on him.

'Fuck it!'

Krune then used all his power to increase the Balance Laws' power.

*Boom!*

In the end, Krune couldn't keep his Balance Laws going for more than two seconds. That's why he only used it at the very moment the lightning bolt came down. However, the result far surpassed his and everyone else's expectations. Not only did the Tribulation Lightning not break through his shields' defense, but it also didn't leave a single scratch behind.

"So resistant!"

"What the hell is this rainbow power?"

"It feels a bit like the Calamity Laws."

Of course, the Balance Laws disappeared not long after the lightning bolt struck. However, Krune didn't relax as he kept looking at the tribulation clouds. He had to be ready for the moment the lightning bolts came down to gather his Balance Laws in time.

And so, the Tribulation continued just like that.

*Boom, boom, boom...*

In less than a minute, all eight Tribulation Lightning Bolts came down. Fortunately, Krune was getting used to it and could defend in time.

Of course, he didn't relax at all. One must remember that the last Lightning Bolt was always the most powerful one.

Sure enough, the constant lightning bolts stopped as the Tribulation Clouds began to gather all of their remaining energy to send down the final strike.

"This..."

Dima was taken aback by that. From what he could feel, the last Tribulation Lightning far surpassed the level of power it should normally be at.

Out of nowhere, the Calamity Laws' voice echoed in their minds once again.

"Hahaha! Look what you've done. Tribulation Lightning is made to match the cultivator or demon beasts' level. However, you fended it so easily that the heavens themselves got angry. Let's see what you can do about it."

Krune wanted to cry even more. Unfortunately, he had already spent all his tears as he shouted in response...

"That's all your fault!"

"Are you sure you want to spend your time cursing me? You better look after your ass first."

After that, the Calamity Laws' voice disappeared once again.

Krune gritted his teeth after that. He might have had it easy until now. However, he could tell that he wouldn't be able to resist that last lightning bolt in his actual condition. There was only one chance for him, and that was to go back to his Wisp Form.

Krune didn't want to do that, though. After all, Wally's actions made sure that all gods didn't want to see any wisp in the God Realm. Unfortunately, Krune didn't have much choice.

Immediately, his body began to disappear, and the Wisp Core and the Ethereal Flame took place. Naturally, Krune's control over elements, laws, and mental energy had further increased in that state.

Dima and Roben knew that Krune was a demon beast. After all, it was just way too easy to identify them due to their aura. However, they had never seen his species before.

Roben and Zap couldn't help but ask.

"What kind of demon beast is he?"

Dima pondered for a bit before nodding.

"I have never seen one in front of me in the past. However, I believe that Krune is a True Spirit."

Roben and Zap were taken aback by Dima's words.

"So this is a True Spirit? No wonder his cultivation speed is quite high even though he began to cultivate very late in his life."

Krune couldn't help but sigh in relief when he heard the words of Dima's group. Sure enough, True Spirits also existed in the God Realm. As long as they didn't know that he was a wisp, that would be for the best. Still, he put those thoughts behind and concentrated on the Tribulation Clouds. Eventually, the energy stopped gathering, and the life-ending lightning bolt came down.

"Bring it!"

*Boom!*

Krune's transformation had increased the power of his Balance Laws for a brief moment. However, the lightning bolt still broke through them and hit his shields for the first time. Krune's layers of defense formed by his shields were then pulverized one after another.

Finally, the lightning bolt destroyed Krune's last Myriad Lightning Shield before heading for his Wisp Core.

"I'm not done yet!"

Krune's Godly Energy Meridians materialized out of Krune's body and were hit by the Lightning. Immediately, the meridians began to redirect all the remaining power of the Lightning into Krune's Universe Foundation.

"Hmph! I did it once before, so I can definitely do it again!"

After some time, the entire lightning bolt disappeared completely.

Of course, Krune still had to deal with it inside his foundation. The problem was that his entire foundation was also his soul. So the more the lightning bolt rampaged inside, the worst it became.

"Hmm... I haven't tempered my soul with Tribulation Lightning for a very long time. I guess this is a good opportunity."
