Is that a Wisp?
chapter-348

Krune and his group noticed the entire castle tremble twice during the time they were moving, so they knew that things were getting more out of control.

Joiu then explained to Krune.

"Those were probably self detonations. Still, very few would ever consider doing that, so I believe that those were slaves. I can consider it a coincidence if one guy decides to explode, but definitely not two. No one is willing to give up even reincarnation."

Krune didn't care about that, though.

"It's okay, let's just keep collecting everything and move to the center of the castle. We will need to pay extra attention as well. It seems like my Tribulation Lightning Layer isn't enough to conceal our presence."

Feifei nodded.

"That was to be expected. Since our Divine Senses are restricted in this place, it goes without saying that the other teams are relying on other methods to find the location of their opponents. I doubt that Lutin's group was the only one like that. Of course, it doesn't mean that all of them will be like that."

Krune and Joiu agreed with her and kept their guard high. Finally, Krune's group started to get close to the center. But they had to stop since the path ahead was blocked.

"It looks like a normal door, should we try to attack it?"

They looked at each other and nodded. There obviously would be other paths since the teams entered this realm through different positions. But nothing guarantees that they would be open. Also, chances are that they would bump into other groups as well.

Krune then used two Blazing Wind Blades and threw them at the door. As they expected, although it looked sturdy, it was still not enough to stop Krune's attack. Both Blades passed through the joints on each side, and the door fell on the ground right after.

Krune and the others looked inside, and they noticed that it was an enormous room with several other doors. They also saw something that looked like a small key floating on the other side.

Behind the key, there was another door that seemed to lead to the Core of the Castle. That was because it was a lot bigger and more detailed than the others. Krune, Feifei, and Joiu approached the key slowly to avoid any traps. But just as they were about to get the key, they heard a loud sound on their side.

As mentioned before, there were several other doors around this room, and one of them was just sent flying. A group then came inside to take a look. Krune was surprised because he didn't feel their presence with his Divine Sense, which showed that they, too, had a way to hide from it.

The other group, obviously, didn't expect to find Krune's group here either.

Krune, Feifei, and Joiu immediately recognized them. They were one of the two groups that got the Jade Slips that appeared back in the previous Bubble Realm. The leader's name was Rui, a 5th Stage Soul Forging Golden Dragonfly. The other two were both at the 4th Stage. Because of the dangers in this last realm, any demon beast that can fight better in their True form isn't using their Human ones. Rui just so happens to be one of them.

Although his race name had Dragon in it, the fact is that he is an insect type Demon Beast without any Dragon Blood what so ever. Still, his race is quite a rare and strong one that can only attain the Human Form in the Core Formation Realm. His two companions just so happen to be from the same race as well, and it was evident that they were not a group that had just been formed for this event.

They noticed that big sphere of purple lightning and immediately understood who they were against. As mentioned before, everyone had a long time to exchange information in the previous Bubble Realm, so very few didn't know about Krune's Purple Lightning at the moment.

Both sides knew that that key probably had some critical use, so Rui's group immediately attacked. But since Krune's group had entered the room first, they were just beside it now. Krune then used his Spiritual Energy and quickly grabbed the key, soon putting it in his Spatial Ring. Rui's group knew that they wouldn't make it in time, so they didn't try to get the key, but attack their opponents instead.

Both sides then released their Domains. Surprisingly, Rui's group all used Wind Related Domains. Not only that, but each one of them had a Wind Sub-Law mastered as well.

Krune's group looked at that and were alarmed.

"Fast!"

Even Krune had to admit that those Golden Dragonflys were really fast. He only had a small advantage, even with his Tribulation Lightning Movement. Let alone Joiu and especially Feifei. Fortunately, Krune's Tribulation Lightning Domain was acting against their Domains, which gave their side some time to breathe.

Krune's group then decided to use the same strategy as before, so Joiu immediately attacked the 5th Stage Soul Forging Realm, Rui. But it turned out that Rui was a lot stronger than that guy he fought before, so he quickly fell into a passive position. Feifei was in an even worse condition since she wasn't specialized in speed to start with.

Just as Krune was about to use his Overlapped Domains, he heard a Divine Sense message from Feifei.

"Wait a second, let me go first!"

Krune knew what Feifei was going to use and stopped his Overlapped Domains.

Feifei hasn't practiced using several Domains in the past, so she didn't try it to start with. She quickly deactivated her Blue World Domain and swapped it for another one.

"Illusion of Destiny Domain!"

Feifei's new Domain had no color. In fact, one could even say that it was invisible. Still, anyone who understands Laws could tell that it was there, and it was definitely not simple. However, the Golden Dragonflies couldn't say what it was good for. At the very least, they didn't feel any deterrence in their own Wind-Based Domains coming from that.

Suddenly, Rui noticed that his enemies' movements became weird. They were being able to suppress the other side with just their speed alone until a second ago. But now, it seemed like their enemies could tell each of their movements.

He was right, Krune's group could really tell exactly what they were going to do. Feifei's Illusion of Destiny Domain created faint illusions, or projections if you prefer, of the Golden Dragonflies' next movements. Not only that, but only the ones that Feifei considered to be allies would be able to see it. Simply put, it was a domain that could show up to two seconds in the future of everyone inside it.

Two seconds don't look to be much, but for a battle at the Divine Soul Realm and above, that can be considered an eternity!

Krune already knew about that since Feifei told him, but Joiu was another story. He had never seen a Domain like this before!

'Holy Shit! Is it even possible to lose when you have something like this? I can see everything that my opponent is going to do even before that happens.'

But it was then that he received a Divine Sense Message from Feifei, or better, Fina.

"Don't lose this opportunity and finish it fast. This Domain of mine is too hard to keep up. If you two don't end at least one of those Golden Dragonflies in the next minute, I will not be able to help anymore."

Joiu was taken aback for a second, but he immediately understood. How can such a heaven-defying Domain possibly be easy to use? He had seen Fina getting tired when she used her Divination Skills for herself only, let alone give the others the power to see what she does.

Joiu didn't waste time and immediately went into attack mode. His Light Speed Domain increased in power, and everyone's speed increased. He hadn't shared this effect with the others before since it had the same side effect as Feifei's Domain. It consumed way too much energy. But now was not the time to hold back.

Krune and Feifei felt delighted when they felt the improvement given by Joiu's Domain, so they also started the counter-attack.

Feifei's Domain couldn't only show the future when they attacked, but also their defense, dodge pattern, and everything else. Having that information gave Krune's group an enormous advantage.

Still, the three Dragonflies were far above their cultivation levels. With their reaction speed alone, they were able to hold their positions. It only took Krune a few seconds to understand that this wasn't a good situation, so he also went all out and released his overlapped Domains.

This became the first time that Krune, Feifei, and Joiu were using every notch of power available to them.

The three Dragonflies' situation, which wasn't good to start with, deteriorated even more. Not only that, but Krune had also waited until the moment he released his Overlapped Domains to begin using his Gravity Sub-Law!

Because of that, even the Dragonflies' reaction speed wasn't enough to keep them away from Krune and Joius' attacks. They were not like Lutin, who had a Space Major Divine Soul. They didn't have control over the Space laws to use displacement.

Half a minute later, two of them were severely injured. Obviously, they are the opponents that were fighting Krune and Joiu, especially Krune's one. That Golden Dragonfly was on the verge of losing already.

Rui then gritted his teeth and started to use his Golden Dragonfly bloodline. He was the only one in his group who had a bloodline pure enough to pull that card.

But there was a drawback once he uses it. Rui's body and cultivation will suffer a backlash, and it will take a few months before he can recover to his peak.

Immediately, his speed, attack power, defense, wind element control, and everything else soared! But he didn't use that power to counter-attack Krune's group. Instead, he grabbed his group member who was too injured and told the other to retreat. As long as he doesn't keep his bloodline active for too long, the side effects won't be too harsh. Otherwise, even if he wins this battle, he won't be able to do anything else later.

Krune noticed that and sent a Divine Sense message to his group.

"Let them go. We also should save as much energy as possible just in case. I doubt they will come back to find a problem with us anytime soon."

Feifei, Krune, and Joiu then stopped using their Domains and let out a sigh of relief.

But it was at that exact moment that the door beside Feifei blasted apart! It was not that Krune and the others let their guards down, it was just that those guys did not appear inside their Divine Sense! Just like the Golden Dragonflies, this new group also had a way to conceal themselves from Divine Senses. Because of that, Feifei had no time to react at all.

The ones who appeared where Uer and his group, or at least, what remained from it when Mohie Maran's subordinate self detonated. Two of Uer's companions had died during that explosion, leaving him with four members in total.

Uer, who was in his Skeleton Dragon form, went straight at Feifei while Mino Jan and the other two stopped Krune and Joiu from intervening.

"Claws of Death!"

It was too fast, too sudden!

When Feifei noticed the attack, it was practically in front of her! There is no doubt that she would be severely injured if not killed by that. She didn't have time to even raise her Spiritual Energy barrier.

"FEIFEI!"

Krune immediately shot forward, ignoring everything!

But he was too far, his Shields wouldn't make it in time either! Not to mention that Mino Jan was right in front of him.

Krune's Rainbow Colored Wisp body then became utterly red! It was then that Krune went crazy and touched the power of the Tribulation Lightning, which immediately alarmed Light Spirit!

"Stop!"

But Krune ignored him.

"Tribulation Lightning Movement, 1000%!"
