Is that a Wisp?
chapter-1153

"Is that the one responsible for creating the earthen hands?" Krune muttered, frowning. "But, I thought this place was incapable of supporting life. Shouldn't that be the norm?"

He then thought of the Galki. 'They too are alive enough.'

"So, what exactly is happening here?" He wondered, wielding his Pestlor in its usual size, damaging the earthen hands that tried to grab hold of him when all of a sudden, he expanded its length before shattering an earthen hand into dust, noticing a tiny creature being revealed at the bottom.

The creature was just about to head underground when a layer of ice formed around it, caging it. An instant later, the cage of ice flew up, landing on Krune's palms as he constantly dodged the frenzied attacks from the other earthen hands.

He then observed the creature within, noticing that it resembled an earthworm at first glance. However, it had the features of a spider and a centipede mixed into it, not to mention a pair of feelers that doubled down as wings.

'Why didn't it try to fly away?" Krune wondered when he noticed the creature suffocate within the cage of ice, instantly dying.

And the strange thing was that when it died, its body collapsed, turning into a pool that turned brown before glistening for a bit. It then seeped out of his ice cage and flowed into his hands, shocking him.

Right as Krune planned to sever his arm in caution, he noticed his comprehension of the laws of Earth, Wood, and Life improving as a result. Not only that, but another surprise was the fact that he noticed there also existed a law related to Divine Sense.

This was a law purely related to Divine Sense. Only after this, when the laws from the creature flowed into him and improved his comprehension, did he even come to notice that there was a law related to Divine Sense.

This law was a part of his Spiritual Incarnation. But, despite using Divine Sense all along, his comprehension of the respective law was at absolute zero. That's why he hadn't even sensed its existence.

"How do I even begin to comprehend this law?" Krune was confused when he looked at the countless earthen hands trying to catch him. Thinking for a moment, he expanded the length of Pestlor to one hundred meters in an instant and shattered every earthen hand in his vicinity.

Then, using his Divine Sense, he caged all the tiny creatures in a cage of ice, bringing them before him. Like before, once they died of suffocation, the laws in them flowed into his body, increasing his comprehension of the laws of Earth, Wood, Life, and Divine Sense.

"Is this…really possible?" Krune muttered, now understanding why those cultivators from before were attacking the Galki. He then slammed the Pestlor into the ground, killing a couple more creatures, frowning when his comprehension didn't increase, eventually understanding why. "So, I have to bring them closer to me alive. Only after they die from suffocation would I be able to profit from this."

His figure then turned into a blur, erupting with all the strength he was able to unleash currently. It was on the level of a Red Demon right now, condensing footholds of ice as he ran away at tremendous speeds, heading deeper and deeper into the Misty Plains.

A couple of seconds after he left the area, the meadow returned to its original appearance, as if the damage he had unleashed wasn't even a reality.

Soon after, the cultivators chasing after him entered the place one after another, pulling up their weapons as they fought against the earthen hands that tried to attack them.

As they were unable to fly, they had no other choice but to fight. Then again, even if they could fly, fighting was still the only option left for them. After all, there was also the law of suppression in effect.

It prevented one from going too high up. That was also why Krune had to constantly dodge them even while riding the Cloud Whale.

However, thanks to the strength of his physique, he was able to move through the area without much trouble. But for the other cultivators, only the attacks they launched were fast. In actuality, they were pretty slow and had to rely on their abilities to move at the same speed as Krune.

All this action expended a lot of Godly Energy.

But for Krune, he was just running at his body's regular capabilities. The energy he expended was negligible compared to what the other cultivators were spending.

Once he arrived far away from the group of cultivators, Krune continued to capture the tiny creatures one after another, surprised every time his comprehension of the laws increased, especially those of the laws of Divine Sense.

After all, he noticed that when his comprehension of this particular law increased, he was able to use it to heal the instability of his Spiritual Incarnation. On top of that, when he activated his Balance Laws, the effect was more pronounced now.

His Spiritual Incarnation was able to heal from the damage bit by bit, allowing him to become slightly relieved. Otherwise, with his present strength, he would struggle against a single cultivator that was chasing after him.

It wouldn't be possible for him to survive any contests, not to mention reaping awards from them.

As he continued to capture and kill the tiny creatures, Krune noticed that there seemed to be an inexhaustible supply of them. In fact, the deeper into the Misty Plains he went, the greater the potency of the increase.

However, that also meant the earthen hands attacking him grew in strength. Soon, they reached a level where he struggled to even destroy one.

'This isn't efficient enough,' Krune thought, retreating towards an area where he was comfortable enough while the increase in comprehension was potent.

"After all, there's a limit to how much Godly Energy I have. So, I'll have to harvest as much as I can before I waste too much Godly Energy," Krune said, suddenly grinning. "However, the law of Divine Sense. This is pretty surprising."

After all, with the increase in understanding the law, his abilities were also improving as a whole. After all, everything was dependent on the control of his Divine Sense.
