Is that a Wisp?
chapter-676

Jimage led the group through the Sealed Space like before. It's just that he relied not only on his Divine Sense but Krune's perception as well. He asked Krune that if he noticed anything, he should tell him with a Divine Sense message.

Still, Jimage was also quite used to it after his first expedition, so there were rare moments where he had to hear Krune's warning before acting himself. Kava would also receive the same warning from both Krune and Jimage in alternate times, which made him feel quite weird. There had been almost no instances where he noticed dangers before the two. It was one thing in Jimage's case, but Kava was worse than the 2nd Stage Semi-Divinity Realm rainbow-haired guy.

Krune didn't know what Kava was thinking, nor did he care. Instead, he was busier talking with Zule.

'What do you mean you felt a familiar power?'

Zule didn't know the answer to that question either.

'I can't really explain. I just know that I felt some kind of familiar energy coming from the guys of the Flower River Sect, especially that Pharan. It was a bizarre sensation.'

Krune narrowed his eyes.

'Maybe it is some kind of Spatial Treasure similar to yours. Since we entered the Sealed Space, they might have brought something that can bring them out. Wait, you aren't telling me that this is another Heavenly Fragment with sentience, right?'

Zule immediately shook his head. Although the theory made sense, Zule felt like it wasn't exactly the issue.

'No, it's nothing like that. If it was another Heavenly Fragment, I believe I would at least feel its presence. Anyway, Pharan's group went somewhere else, so let's forget it for the moment.'

Krune agreed with Zule. After all, Pharan's group entered the Sealed Space through another side. They probably will find him at some point, but there is no need to care about it now. First of all, it is not like Pharan's things had anything to do with them.

Just like the last Sealed Space, Krune's group went from one node to another. Thanks to his ability to remove Top Quality Godly Energy Stones faster than anyone else, the group rarely spent more than a few minutes in each of the floating islands. Kava and the other two new Peak Semi-Divinity Realm members finally came to understand how important Krune was to the group.

That wasn't all, though. Iem and Krune were just too strong! They joined the fight every time a Divinity Realm Level Space Creature appeared. Kava even felt somewhat weaker since he couldn't get rid of the Space Creatures around his level as fast as those two. Of course, for their group, this was excellent news. The stronger they are, the more Godly Stones they will get. It was that simple. The only doubt was just where the limit of their strength was.

Finally, they found the first chaotic space. As one can imagine, all the Semi-Divinity Realm members entered it. Still, with Krune and Iem being as strong as Divinity Realm members, the Space Creatures posed no threat to them all the way to the cluster. Once again, Krune quickly removed the Top Quality Godly Energy Stones and departed with everyone.

Things were just going too great for their group. Jimage even felt like they might get more Top Quality Godly Stones than the last time just by going from island to island. After all, they had an entire week to do that. Back on the Silver Core, he had to wait until Krune came out, so he could only get the Top Quality Godly Energy Stones that were attached to it.

However, not everything continued that well. They were bound to bump into one of the other two teams sooner or later with their speed... and so they did. In one of the floating islands close to the Godly Vein, they finally encountered another group, Foltan's one.

Of course, no one on the two sides was afraid.

"Foltan, what about we ignore each other? I'll do you a favor and leave this island to you. Different from your group, we don't need to have every island Godly Stone anymore. Since I'm feeling generous, I will pretend I didn't see you at all."

Jimage was mocking them, but he wasn't lying. With Krune's Godly Energy Stone removal speed, it was worth a lot more to prevent battles and go somewhere else than initiate a fight here. In the end, most of the Godly Energy Stones this time around will still be theirs anyway.

However, Foltan also knew that. There were just so many Top Quality Godly Energy Stones in the Sealed Spaces. That's because those clusters would need time to generate more of them in the future. Once all the islands were swept up, the place will become empty. At that point, they will need to try the islands that are not connected to the Godly Vein. However, those islands are all lotteries. Chances are that you won't find anything at all. Not to mention that they might only encounter even more fights with the Space Creatures too. If Foltan let Jimage's group leave now, just how many more Godly Stones will they get than themselves?

"Hmph! It is not impossible for our group to ignore each other. Just leave that rainbow-haired guy with us, and the rest is free to go. I promise I'll give him back to you once we are out of this Sealed Space."

Too bad, though. Be it Pharan and Foltan's group, neither side had seen how strong Iem and Krune really were. Back inside the Foundation Space, Dolmen and his companions had only seen Krune when they were already captured by the Celestial Organizations. Obviously, they knew nothing about Iem and Krune, either. At the moment, even Jimage didn't realize just how stronger they became after all that happened.

The only one who knew about what they could do was Bianc... partially. She was the same girl who couldn't talk because of the restriction on her soul. Of course, she had only seen they fighting when they were at the peak of the Divine View Realm, not the Semi-Divinity one.

Jimage shrugged his shoulder and sighed.

"Well, if you wanna fight, my group won't mind it."

But it was at this moment that both sides heard a laugh coming from the distance.

"Hahaha! Now, look at that, doesn't it seem like you guys are having fun?"

Foltan and Jimage narrowed their eyes. Who else could it be if now Pharan's group? Not only that, but Pharan was coming from the opposite side of Fotlan's group, which put Jimage's group right in the center of the two.

In the end, Foltan couldn't help but smile and make an offer.

"Hey, you also know about the rainbow guy's ability, right? Why don't we join forces to get rid of him? If we don't take care of this issue, most of the Godly Stones available this time will fall on the Sky Shifting Sect's hands."

Pharan smiled as he nodded. In fact, he was ordered to kill Krune if a chance presented itself. Since Foltan was also here, that would make things even easier.

"Very well. However, there is no need to push Jimage and the other two Divinity Realm to dire straights. Otherwise, they might ignore everything to bring us down with them. Let's just hold them back while the others kill the rainbow guy and the rest of their Semi-Divinity Realm members. After that, they won't pose any more threat to us."

Jimage's group tension began to rise. Foltan and Pharan were so confident that they didn't even bother using Divine Sense messages. If Jimage, Rui, and Kava went all out, they could definitely escape. However, the same thing couldn't be said about the rest of the Semi-Divinity Realm members. Well, Jimage was pretty sure Krune and Iem could escape too, though. But what about the rest?

They were already surrounded by both sides, so it would be very difficult to help the weaker members.

However, both Foltan and Pharan's groups failed to consider one point. They failed to consider that the ones to attack first would not be them, but Krune and Iem instead. Krune just didn't want to leave his group members behind. As for Iem... well... one can already imagine how excited he is with the premise of this fight.

Suddenly Iem and Krune released their Domains at the same time.

"Rainbow Domain!"

"Myriad Devil Flame Domain!"

In less than a second, they had already initiated their attacks. At the same time, they entered their strongest combat form. Krune returned to his Wisp Form as Iem's body completely crystallized. Krune then used his Tribulation Lightning at 300%, and Iem fused the black flames into his body.

"Tribulation Shields Slaughter Formation, Second Form, Tribulation Stars!"

"Heaven's Fall Calamity!"

"Devil Flame Suns!"

"Devil Lightning and Flame Shadows!"

Krune and Iem were not at the Divine View Realm anymore. At that time, they could already surpass the entire Semi-Divinity Realm and fight around the Divinity 4th or 5th Stage. If they joined forces, holding a 6th Stage one wouldn't be too difficult.

However, they are now in the Semi-Divinity Realm and at the 2nd Stage on top of that. Iem already began to practice Heavin's Soul Cultivation Technique, while Krune absorbed another three Ownerless Heavenly Fragments. Even Jimage had greatly underestimated the enormous jump in combat power that they achieved since that time.

Who said that they were at a disadvantage? In Krune and Iem's eyes, the winners and losers of this fight were still far from being decided.
