Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 1356 Thundercloud Whale

A large whale-like body sporting coral reefs around the eyes, forehead, and tip of the tails, a predominantly white color with shades of grey undertones. A horn that resembled coral at first glance but also had similarities to a rhino's.

The horn had a helical groove to it, having a thin conical structure with a hole at the tip. That was the Cloud Whale.

But now, there were obvious changes.

First was the appearance of feathers on its fish-like skin, causing it to possess the traits of a bird. However, it still resembled a whale overall. The coral portions of its body had faint purple marks, similar to lightning strikes.

The feathers also varied, sporting a large white sea of feathers with grey undertones along the curvature. They were further elevated by purple feathers that emboldened the figure of a wisp on the forehead.

The maximum size of the Cloud Whale back then had capped at 25 meters. But now, it increased to 30 meters in length.

An increase of 5 meters in length might not mean much, especially considering how his Pestlor could reach kilometers in length.

But functionality-wise, there were major changes. And that was blatantly displayed by its eyes full of wisdom.

After all, the Cloud Whale was no longer an ability that Krune controlled by infusing a sliver of his Divine Sense into it or through his will alone while using it solely through his abilities in Body Cultivation.

Now, Little Krune had fused into the Cloud Whale. That's why its eyes were full of wisdom. It was because it had basically become another Krune.

And the best advantage of this fact was how when Krune fragmented Little Krune, the new Cloud Whale itself would also fragment.

This implied that he didn't need to use clones just to summon more Cloud Whales. He could directly do it himself. There were major differences in this upgrade.

First of all, he was still able to make clones. There wouldn't be any difference from before in terms of the clones themselves. But when Krune wished to fight, he could use the Cloud Whales as a major battle strength.

The Cloud Whale's strength lay in its ability to efficiently fly for long distances. But, its weakness was that it was unable to make quick and sharp turns.

On top of that, Krune had to control them through either his will or divine sense.

But from now onwards, there was no need for that. As it had become Little Krune itself, the Cloud Whale was autonomous, just like his clones. So, they were able to attack with greater precision, able to fly and scout on their own, etc.

And best of all was this one factor, the reason Krune had taken such a major risk during his breakthrough.

Tribulation Lightning Spiritual Mark!

It was fused into his soul. Plus, Little Krune was basically an extension of his soul that was able to fragment itself into more and more numbers as his cultivation increased. It was nine fragments at the God Foundation Realm, 99 at the God Core Realm, 999 at the Nascent God Realm, and so on and so forth.

When they formed clones, every clone also possessed his Spiritual Mark. Using that advantage, Krune was able to abuse his Tribulation Lightning Spiritual Mark through them.

And now, this had become an inherent property of the Cloud Whale, as the Cloud Whale and the Tribulation Lightning Spiritual Mark had become one due to Little Krune fusing into it.

With that, Krune had actually gained control over tribulation lightning. Until now, all he was able to do was unleash tribulation lightning through his Spiritual Mark. It was just like opening the gates to a dam. The tribulation lightning would just gush towards his target, without any control on his part.

He wasn't able to control it. At the times he did, it was just the bare minimum that he exercised only after a multitude of steps and inherent risks.

But now, the Cloud Whale was able to unleash both an Air Needle and a Lightning Needle. Of course, that wasn't all. When Krune activated the Cloud Whale in his body, he was able to use both the wind currents and lightning currents.

The wind currents allowed him to fly and use the wind to defend against attacks and whatnot. Similarly, the lightning currents basically allowed him to imbue the power of tribulation lightning in his hand-to-hand combat.

The risk he had taken allowed him to properly wield tribulation lightning as his own power, becoming the second cultivator in the history of the God Realm to do this, following Luvile's footsteps.

That was also why Luvile appeared the moment Krune shouted his name. It was because they were the only two using the Tribulation Lightning Law. So, when Krune used it to call for Luvile, the other party heard it loud and clear, instantly locating Krune's location through it before arriving by his side.

Also, the reason he used the Drops, Tribulation Lightning Law Core, and Divine Sense Law materials in the Cloud Whale during the tribulation was to figure out a way to not only fuse the power of his Spiritual Mark into his Cloud Whale, but it was also to fuse Little Krune into it. In an extension of that, obtain a method to comprehend and cultivate the Tribulation Lightning Law.

All in all, it was a grand success.

"I shouldn't call you a Cloud Whale any longer." Krune smirked, immediately thinking of a name before sighing, feeling through his Divine Sense the information that flowed into his mind from it. This was a name that the heavens had naturally assigned it, just like the Cloud Whale.

Sullen, Krune muttered, "Thundercloud Whale."

"It's a good name, but I could have given it something ten times better." He sighed, watching the Cloud Whale zap around him. It was more energy-draining, but the Thundercloud Whale was able to make sharp turns and accelerate from zero to peak speed instantly through the power of lightning.

And when activating it within his body, Krune was able to zap through the place at tremendous speeds, turning into a blur that even those at the God Trial Realm struggled to keep track of through their Divine Sense.

When he activated his Ocean Turbulence on top of that, none at the God Trial Realm were even able to see him.

From already being overpowered, Krune further took it to the next level, grinning as he thought, anticipating, "When will you invade, Mist Sect? I'm missing you!"
