Is that a Wisp?
chapter-329

Dilo's Storm Domain was centered on him, so when the battle started, he couldn't expand it to the point where he could cover Krune and the others.

Fortunately, the weaker guys' Domains weren't anything that impressive, so the others could still deal with it.

Krune also started his battle against the 3rd Stage one and immediately opened distance from him using his Tribulation Lightning Movement. Krune already could use it at 100% output without damaging his body, so he didn't need to be afraid of doing that anymore. Considering that he also understands several wind and lightning laws, he was really far faster than anyone at his level at the moment in this Dimensional Realm.

Still, his opponent was 9 stages above his own, and in another realm on top of that. So by using his Domain and cultivation alone, he could still barely keep up with Krune. Of course, he was also shocked to see that someone with cultivation so much weaker than his own could run like that.

Krune looked at his opponent while thinking.

'Hum... So even without my wisp form, my speed can still keep up with an ordinary 3rd Stage Soul Forging Realm. If his Domain wasn't in place, maybe I would be a tiny bit faster, I guess...'

Krune kept dodging his opponent while using several skills to keep his distance. So far, he hasn't made a single attack yet.

'Well, it is obvious that he isn't a cultivator focused on speed either, so this conjecture can't be applied to the others that easily. His Domain is Fire Based, and I can feel the Heat Sub-law behind it. From its level, it seems like he is still in the Initial Stage of it.'

Krune then paid attention to himself now that he is in full control of his Divine Soul.

'Still, my Divine Soul is really good when I'm in full control of it. Putting my Laws, Tribulation Lightning, and Divine Soul Together, I can jump this many levels to fight. Of course, each level of the Soul Forging Realm provides a lot more power than each level of the Divine Soul Realm. So the higher the Stage of my opponent in the Soul Forging Realm, the lower will be the number of Stages I can jump.'

'If he was in the 4th Stage, I would most likely need to be in the 6th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm to achieve the same result in my actual state. If he was in the 5th, then the 8th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm would be the bare minimum. Of course, there is the fact that I'm not using my Wisp Form, not attacking with my Tribulation Lightning, and not using a Domain Yet.'

Krune then took a look around with his Divine Sense and paid some attention to the several Soul Forging Realm cultivators and demon beasts battling. Considering all the groups fighting at the moment, Krune could finally make a comparison to understand what could be regarded as an ordinary level between them.

'From what I can see, the majority of the Soul Forging Realm cultivators and demon beasts between the 1st and 3rd Stage have one Sub-Law at the Initial or at most the Intermediate Stage. Between the 3rd and 5th, the majority has a Sub-Law at the Intermediate Stage with very few ones with an Advanced one. There is one or another who can use more than one Sub-Law while fighting, but those don't count for even 2% of the total number at the moment.'

'Of course, that is only when I look at the ordinary level. If I include the guys from group chat who came with me, even their subordinates can do a lot more than just that. There is also the other Jade Slip Owners whose subordinates and friends are obviously a lot stronger than the majority in their level.'

Krune then noticed that some of those Jade Slip Group owners were having a tough time defending themselves as well.

'I see... it's not because every group with Jade Slips are strong that the cultivators and demon beasts groups without one will necessarily be weak. There are a few of them who also have geniuses in between who can fight on equal grounds to them. They just didn't have the luck to find a Jade Slip before. Fortunately, none of those groups are attacking my team at the moment.'

Although Krune was thinking a lot, the fact is that just a few seconds passed.

After organizing all the details that he had been curious in his mind, Krune decided to pay attention to the opponent in front of him. The only reason that Krune could afford to pay attention to the others was that this guy wasn't a cultivator focused on speed, and the Law that supports his Domain is only at the Initial Stage. In fact, Krune was sure that this guy is below the average level compared to the others at the moment in this Dimensional Realm.

'Let's try out a domain, then.'

Krune looked at the fire-based Domain of his opponent and pondered a bit.

But in the end, he couldn't reach a conclusion, so Krune sent a Divine Sense message to him.

"Hey, which type of Elemental Domain would you like to fight against? I can't decide, so I will let you chose."

His opponent almost vomited blood!

'What type should he use? Does that mean he can use all Elemental Types? Does he think I can't see that he is only in the 4th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm? Is he trying to take me for a fool?'

Still, because Krune kept fleeing, he decided to select one to see if at least he stopped running.

"My Domain is called Eternal Heating, why don't you use another Fire Based Domain and see if you can counter attack mine?"

Krune nodded and accepted the idea. His Fire Laws were the only ones that had two Sub-Laws at culmination, which are Burning and Annihilation. It would be an excellent chance to try a Domain based on both.

"Alright, let's see how to make one then. This is my first time trying to create a Domain, so please don't mind if it turns out to be bad."

His opponent felt like dying already! Is he going to create a Domain on the spot? Weren't Domains something you need to ponder for a very long time and practice like crazy to finally be able to use? Since when they became something this cheap?

While dodging his opponent's attacks, Krune focused on the world around and paid special attention to his opponent Domain. He wanted to use it to understand how to release one of the same element. Because it was a fire-based Domain, the world around Krune looked at little red.

Krune then focused on this image and tried to bring forth both Annihilation and Burning together with the Fire Element of the World. The space around Krune and the enemy, which was already red, became even redder. Not only that, but it seemed like the air itself started to ignite on its own! The temperature that was already high due to the Eternal Heating Domain also increased even more.

Suddenly, the Eternal Heating Domain was engulfed by an even bigger fire-based Domain! Krune's opponent looked at that as if he had seen a ghost. The Domain created by a 4th Stage Divine Soul Realm was completely suppressing his own!

'No, first of all, the only Divine Soul Realms I have ever seen using Domains were already in the Late Stages. Not to mention that their Domains were at most at the same level as mine. But this guy is only at the 4th Stage at the moment, and his Domain level is far above my one. This is ridiculous!'

He wasn't the only one seeing that. Quite a few battles around stopped for a moment after that enormous Fire Domain appeared.

A Fire-type Demon beast looked at that and couldn't help but comment.

"What a terrifying Fire Domain."

It was then that Krune's opponent thought about something. Even though he can't use other Fire Sub-laws, he can at least identify them through the World of Laws. Thanks to that, he finally found out what Laws Krune was using. In the end, that vision made him start to consider if he had lived his life in vain.

'Burning and Annihilation, both at culmination...'

But this is, after all, a Life and Death battle. He can't simply give up now.

'I have the advantage in cultivation. If we continue like this, his Spiritual and Elemental Source Energy shouldn't last as long as mine!'

Krune looked at his newly created Domain and then sighed.

"As I thought, it went quite bad for the first time creating a Domain. The Burning and Annihilation Laws are not working very well together either. I will need to practice a lot to make it usable."

Everyone who heard that felt like killing themselves already!

If this is what you think to be bad, just what would you say about our Domains then? Perhaps even trash would already be an overstatement!

Of course, due to the difference in cultivation, Krune could only suppress his opponent now. He couldn't simply throw caution to the wind and charge at him.

'As I thought, this guy is really below average compared to the others at his level. So, with my Tribulation Lightning Movement, Laws, Elemental Divine Soul Full Control, and Domain, I can fight 9 stages or maybe a Full Realm above against average cultivators or demon beasts. Now, if I want to finish this battle fast, I will need to start using other Laws as well. As for my Wisp Form, Tribulation Lightning Attacks, and Hexagonal Shields, it won't be necessary unless a 5th Stage Soul Forging Realm comes at me.'

Krune then looked at Ruik and Tiane's battle.

'Tiane and Ruik are the only ones having a hard time. Well, even if they are fighting together, their opponent is still 9 Stages above them and in another Realm as well. The only reason that they haven't lost yet is that Ruik can use the Dream Laws. I can see that his opponent's perception is being severely affected by that. Still, it seems like Ruik failed in dragging him into the Dream World, though. There is also the fact that Tiane and Ruik are using their Elemental Laws to resist the opponent's Domain.'

Krune also took a look at Feifei and Xankruan. But after seeing that, he couldn't help but smile.

'Now, that is interesting.'
