Is that a Wisp?
chapter-347

"The exit is probably at the center of the castle as well, so we can only keep moving forward."

Joiu couldn't help but ask.

"What about those who had more than a single Jade Slip? They definitely have more members. It was already that complicated to deal with only three, let alone six."

Krune then answered.

"There isn't much we can do about that. Still, those guys are probably more concerned with the groups that also had more than a single Jade Slip. So, at the moment, there are three teams in that state. Mohie Maran, Uer, and Ricarte. They are probably more concerned about themselves since the others only have three members each."

Krune then looked at Feifei.

"Were you able to see anything?"

Feifei shook her head.

"Very little. The level of this realm and the number of participants is too high. Not to mention that everyone has higher cultivation than me in this place. If I use it for battles, I can see a few seconds in the future, but I can't see much in the long term. Considering the danger here, I prefer to keep my energy for the battles."

Krune agreed with Feifei and didn't ask anymore.

As Krune mentioned, the teams that have more than three members were really more concerned about themselves. At this very moment, Mohie Maran and Uer's groups were in the middle of a fierce fight.

Maran, who is in the 2nd Stage of the Soul Forging Realm, was fighting against Uer.

"This guy's Death Domain is a pain in the ass. I have the Yang Major Divine Soul, but he can still fight with me in equal terms! I know that he has a Death Major Divine Soul, but my techniques and cultivation are of a higher level. How can someone who isn't part of a big power be this strong? Could it be..."

Uer, on the other hand, was enjoying himself.

"Hahahaha! Great! To think I would have so much fun in this Universe, I simply can't hold myself back! Make sure to hold in there, I'm going to get serious!"

"Claws of Death!"

Maran was taken aback! Uer's attack power and speed suddenly increased even more.

"What?!"

Maran then started to get suppressed by Uer. The battle between the two, which had been even until a second ago, suddenly turned into Uer's advantage.

'As I thought, there is no way a Normal Death Major Divine Soul can be this strong. This guy is definitely a Heavenly Core Fragment Owner!'

The other five battles were also more or less evenly matched. So when Uer got the advantage, the balance was broken. Uer's Death Domain became stronger and started to affect the other battles going around.

Mohie Maran gritted his teeth and said through a Divine Sense message.

"We are leaving!"

Uer and his group immediately noticed the difference, though.

"Leaving already? Sorry, but the fun isn't over yet."

Uer then looked at Mino Jan and shouted.

"Hey, idiot Jan, Death Field Battle Formation!"

Mino Jan's mouth twitched, but he followed the order, and their group initiated a battle formation. Through Mino Jan, Uer, and the rest Domains, The area around became a death field. Maran and his group soon noticed the difference and knew that the situation turned out for worse.

"Arrrgh!"

In just a few seconds, one of Mohie Maran's subordinates, a 3rd Stage Soul Forging Realm Demon Beast, died.

Maran looked at that and shouted back.

"Uer, don't force my hand. There is no need for us to kill each other at this point."

Uer, on the other hand, just laughed.

"Of course, there is! It's fun! So why should we stop?"

Maran and his companions defended while they kept running as much as possible. But around a minute later, another one of Mohie Maran's subordinates met his end.

Maran knew that it would get worse if this continued like that, so he made a decision.

"Don't say that I didn't warn you!"

Maran then looked at one of his subordinates and ordered.

"Go!"

The guy was a 5th Stage Soul Forging Realm cultivator. The guy turned around and charged at Uer's group. Mino Jan noticed that and immediately understood what was happening.

"Shit! Everyone, fall back!"

But it was too late, Mino Jan only had the time to grab Uer and dash back.

BOOM!

That guy self detonated! The 5th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm is the highest cultivation in this place, so the detonation of a Core or Dantian has enough power to kill anyone here who is close enough.

Everyone in the castle felt it tremble more than any other time, and some of them were able to guess what happened. Ricarte and his team were one of them.

"Someone self exploded. That's quite a rare thing to see since the biggest majority would usually be too scared for that. Once you Self Detonate, your soul is destroyed as well. There will be no path into reincarnation for you anymore."

His companion on the side then said while exchanged attacks against an enemy.

"We don't have time to think about them. Don't you think it is better to deal with the situation in front of us first?"

Ricarte and his group were also in the middle of a fight at the moment. His opponents just so happen to be in six as well. But they were different from Uer, Ricarte, and Mohie Maran. Their group of six was initially two groups of three. But when they saw how each jade Slip had the right to bring three members, they noticed that they would be at a disadvantage against Ricarte and the others. In the end, they joined forces so that they could have a chance.

Ricarte looked at his opponent in front of him and said.

"Hey, Amelia. Are you sure you want to keep this going with Reiny?"

Amelia and Reiny were two who were able to keep their Jade Slips until the end.

"Aren't you the one who attacked us first? We would not be in this stalemate if not for your harshness."

Ricarte laughed and then said.

"Sorry, sorry. I just wanted to test you out a bit, but it is not worth the effort anymore."

After hearing that, both teams separated.

After that, Amelia looked at Ricarte and said.

"Hmph! You thought that because you had a Time Major Divine Soul, you would be able to control the battle with easy, right? But you never expected that I had the Yin Major Divine Soul."

Ricarte shook his head.

"That's incorrect. We have had the Jade Slips from Mohie Zarks for quite a few years already, so I was already expecting that quite a few of us had Major Divine Souls. After all, Dalin is a gathering of geniuses, so Major Cores and Divine Souls are continually being sent from the Universe Powerhouses into here. I just wanted to see what kind of enemy I was fighting against."

Reiny, who was just hearing, felt a little gloomy. That is because although he is one of the Jade Slips owners and a genius, he doesn't have a Major Divine Soul.

"Can you two stop showing off?"

Ricarte laughed once more and then said.

"Anyway, we shall meet again at the center of this Castle Realm. See you later, my friends."

Just as Ricarte turned around and was about to leave, he heard a sound of flesh being cut through. He smiled playfully and then looked back again.

Amelia, who had her attention on Ricarte all the time, had a Sword pierced through her Dantian. As for the one holding the Sword, it was none other than Reiny!

Amelia looked at him and couldn't believe what had just happened.

"You..."

Reiny showed no remorse what so ever.

"Don't blame me, this is for my own sake."

With her dantian destroyed, Amelia lost all her power, so she couldn't do anything anymore. Her two companions looked at that in disbelief. But this wasn't the time to think about it, any idiot would understand that Reiny had been allied with Ricarte from the very start.

"Run!"

With Reiny's group addition, Ricarte's group had nine members in total. The two of them would stand no chance against them... or so Ricarte and Reiny thought.

Just as Ricarte and Reiny's groups were about to attack, the scared expression on the two's faces disappeared, and only a faint smile remained. Amelia, who knew that she was dead for sure, thought in her mind.

'Then you shall follow me into hell!'

BOOM!

BOOM!

Even Ricarte wasn't expecting that both guys would self explode straight away.

"Time Slower!"

Ricarte Immediately used the power of his Time Major Divine Soul to buy them as much time as possible. But those were explosions at the Soul Forging Realm! Trying to slow the time around so much energy isn't something simple, even for a Time Divine Soul.

"Fuck!"

Everyone tried to dash away as fast as possible, but from their team of nine, five were not fast enough to leave the double explosion range. In fact, two Soul Forging Realm exploding at the same time shouldn't have given anyone in that place the time to flee. But because of Ricarte's Time Slower, the other four were still able to react fast enough.

"What the hell? Why is everyone self-detonating now? I've been to several other inheritances in the No Law Zones, but I only saw two self detonations until today. I can't believe that two happened right in front of me. Were they really this mad with what happened to Amelia?"

Ricarte shook his head.

"Wrong, if they were normal cultivators or demon beasts, they would have tried to flee and definitely not self detonate. But the way they acted together, I'm pretty sure they were Slaves. Without a doubt, Amelia had a Soul Slive from both of them."

Ricarte then sat down to recover his energy. He had to go all out to slow down the double explosion of those guys, so he needed time to recover.

Reiny then sighed and said.

"I lost two of my subordinates because of this, so you better not forget our deal."

Ricarte nodded.

"Don't worry, I won't."
