Is that a Wisp?
chapter-677

Since Foltan was ahead and Pharan was behind, they thought that Jimage's group would escape through the sides. Because of that, both of them had more or less positioned themselves to cover those escape routes. Also, they kept their full attention on Jimage and Rui, who had the highest cultivations on Jimage's group. As for the rest of their groups, they kept their positions to prevent them from easily escaping through them as well.

However, they were really taken aback when they saw Krune and Iem attack each of the groups on their own! It was so unexpected that Pharan and Foltan didn't even react. Yet, they were not too afraid of Krune and Iem doing much anyway. That's because the two 3rd and 6th Stages Divinity Realm members of their groups were still there with the others. Considering Krune and Iem's 2nd Stage of the Semi-Divinity Realm, there was simply no reason for them to go help. If anything, they were happy that those two threw themselves into the lion's den.

"Courting Death!"

Those guys immediately stepped forward and attacked Krune and Iem as well. However, Krune and Iem only laughed at that scene. Both sides quickly reached each other's range. It was then that those two Divinity Realms on both sides understood where they put themselves into. That's because only now they entered Krune and Iem's Domains!

Immediately, their Laws were affected together with their own skills. Their own domains also couldn't even get close to Krune and Iem. On Krune's side, all his Tribulation Star Shields took that opportunity to launch themselves at the enemies. On Iem's one, his Black Lightning and Flame Shadows did the same thing.

That wasn't all. Krune's Heaven's Fall Camality and Iem's Devil Suns descended with their attacks, giving the enemies no chance of retaliating whatsoever.

*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...*

"Arrrgh!"

In the very first encounter, the two 6th Stage Divinity Realm members were sent flying! Of course, it didn't mean they were weak, but that they completely underestimated Iem and Krune's powers. That was, without a doubt, their biggest mistake during this exchange. With just that one strike, they were already severely injured to the point where they wouldn't be any threat in this fight anymore. Even Jimage couldn't blame them. After all, who would expect that two 2nd Stage Semi-Divinity Realms would be this strong?

As for the 3rd Stage ones, they also committed the same mistake. However, Krune and Iem were already much stronger than them to start with. Let alone when they weren't even taking the duo's attacks seriously. Unfortunately for them, they didn't have the strength to resist.

Krune's 'Tribulation Lightning Flame Blades' on the shields slashed his opponent's protection as if it was made of butter. The outcome of the guy wasn't any better, though. There was simply no chance of survival. He was cut into hundreds of pieces, which were immediately pulverized by Krune's Heaven's Fall Calamity's bolts. Even his soul didn't escape.

Iem's Devil Lightning and Flame Shadows also showed no mercy to the 3rd Stage enemy on his side. Not to mention that the Devil Suns had already shattered any defense he could possibly have had. Just like that, two Divinity Realm enemies perished while another two were out of combat.

Foltan and Pharan's eyes opened wide! Be it them or all the others, they were all shocked by what they had just seen. Since when 2nd Stage Semi-Divinity Realms were that strong? But it as then that Foltan and Pharan thought about something.

'Wait, that form! That Rainbow Guy is a True Spirit!'

As for Iem, they couldn't tell which race he was from. However, he wasn't any weaker than Krune, so he was bound to be from a powerful one.

Krune and Iem completely ignored the two 6th Stage Divinity Realm guys who were sent flying. Instead, they immediately dived into the Semi-Divinity Realm members of both groups. Pharan and Foltan, of course, wouldn't just stay still and let them do as they pleased. With the power they showed, it would become a slaughterhouse.

Too bad, though. Jimage wasn't going to let them have their way. Since the tables turned so well to their side, how could he not give a helping hand then?

"Hey, can't you see that they are having fun? What about you make me some company instead? Let's have a long and heartful talk. Hahaha!"

*Bang!*

Foltan and Jimage immediately clashed right after.

"Get out of my way!"

"No problem! Just turn around and leave. I'll make sure to not do anything. Hahaha!"

"You! Then die!"

"As if!"

The two were at the peak of the Divinity Realm and had similar strength. That was more than enough for Jimage to keep Foltan company. A battle between the two would take a very long time to finish since Jimage was only defending.

As for Pharan, Rui and Kava joined hands to make up for the disparate of cultivation.

"Since the two weaklings want to die, I'll grant your wish."

Rui wasn't the least bit concerned, though.

"You can try. But I'm sure the two of us can keep you company for quite some time. Hahaha!"

Just like that, the two Peak Divinity Realm of the Three Peaks and Flower River sects were stopped, not being able to provide any support to their groups at all.

Of course, there was also the Semi-Divinity Realm members of Jimage's group. Since Jimage, Rui, and Kava were holding Foltan and Pharan back, they might also help Krune and Iem end things even faster.

Sisan then turned in Krune's direction and gave the orders.

"Two of you go help Iem. The rest will follow me and get rid of the enemies on Krune's side."

"Yes!"

The outcome was obvious for everyone to see. The Semi Divinity Realm enemies tried to escape, but they were simply not as fast as Krune and Iem. Especially when they are using their full power. Krune summoned his Tribulation Wing Shields as Iem used the Devil Flame ones.

It was a one-sided battle. There was nothing they could do to save themselves.

Foltan and Pharan noticed that and greeted their teeth. However, they immediately gave up any more struggle and fled straight away. Once Krune and Iem join hands with Rui, Kava, and Jimage, they will be in great danger themselves.

Jimage and Rui didn't try to stop them, though. If possible, don't try to force a cornered dog's hand. It was basically the same thing as Pharan spoke earlier. They didn't want to try to kill Jimage and Rui since things could get really dangerous if the other side disregarded everything to bring both of them down.

"Alright, that's enough. Pharan and Foltan won't dare to get close to us during the rest of the week. We have basically the entire Sealed Space only for us now."

Krune's Tribulation Lightning retracted as Iem's Devil Flames stopped entering his Cyrstalized body. Right after, Krune's form changed back into his human shape. Iem's body also returned to normal, of course.

"Well, that's good enough for me."

Jimage smiled and asked the question he was curious about.

"Now then, from which races are you? I had seen Iem's crystalization ability before, but I didn't expect it to be this strong. Only now I could tell that it was not something he learned, but a bloodline-related ability. As for Krune, this is indeed the first time I see him in his true form. In fact, I was never able to feel his aura before but always thought he was a human. Of course, I can tell now that it is not the case. If I'm not wrong, you are a True Spirit, right?"

Iem was in quite a good mood. This assault just now was exhilarating for him. It looked quite simple. However, that was because the two Divinity Realm from each side underestimated them. If they had been taken seriously from the very start, the end results would be hard to predict.

"Senior Jimage is right. Although I do look like a human, I'm, in fact, a member of the Heavenly Race. Of course, the Havenly Race is still a branch of the Human Race, so we are not Demon Beasts."

Iem agreed with Jimage on that point. Hiding it now that Foltan and Pharan left would be useless. The news would reach the other two sects outside, whether they wanted it or not. However, it was much better than having let their two groups ganging upon them.

"I see... I heard about the Heavenly Race before. However, they are as rare as True Spirits. You are the first one I had ever seen. I didn't even know that this crystalization thing of yours was part of their abilities. Only that they excelled at everything, body, energy, and soul."

Krune was the next one.

"Well, senior Jimage already found out my real identity. I'm indeed a member of the True Spirit Race. That's why I can do so much at this level. As for any question about my Purple Lightning or my perception ability, you will have to ask Sect Master's permission for me to talk."

Turns out that Franlia became their best way out of such situations for the two of them. They could simply pile up everything on her back. It was quite convenient.

Jimage then shrugged his shoulders after hearing that.

"Well, as long as you are not an enemy, I'm fine with it. Hahahaha!"

"Alright, it's harvest time. Let's go!"

After that, the week passed without any other significant issues.
