Is that a Wisp?
chapter-687

Binmia, Aragan, and Franlia looked at the body far in the distance.

"Take a look at its chest. There is an enormous hole that goes through it."

"The energy coming from it is also different from the Demon Beast itself. It's impressive that the enemy's energy is still lingering on the body after so long. Just how strong must one be to pierce right through a monster like this?"

"Who cares? Let's use this hole to enter the Demon Beast's Corpse. We need to reach the Silver Core, where the Foundation Space is located. There, we can use the low-level cultivators to enter and call out the powers residing inside."

"Are we really negotiating with them?"

"Of course! Otherwise, how do you expect us to get the resources inside? Don't forget that we can't enter that place since there are many more God Core Realm cultivators and demon beasts there. Not to mention that the so-called Celestial Protection Formation would trap us inside the planet. We would basically be lambs waiting to be slaughtered."

As the three leaders talked with each other, Krune's group also had their own conversation.

'Luvile, you called it Primordial Kun-Peng. Does that Primordial mean something?'

Luvile nodded.

'Yes. It is said that those demon beasts appeared when the realms first formed.'

Krune nodded.

'I see, so they should be quite rare.'

However, Luvile shook his head.

'Not really. In fact, you have seen a lot of them already.'

Krune and Iem were taken aback.

'What do you mean? We didn't see anything as strong as this thing at all.'

'Oh, I expressed myself wrongly. What I mean is that you have seen a lot of their descendants. For example, the Dragon and Phoenix Races. They are all descendants of Primordial Demon Beasts... or so say the records. That means there were Primordial Phoenixes and Dragons before. Of course, those two had also disappeared way before Harold or I was born. I don't know if their bodies are preserved somewhere else like this Kun-Peng. Or perhaps, they are still alive and simply left...'

Iem couldn't help but ask.

'How many more Primordial Demon Beasts were there?'

Harold was the one to answer that question.

'It's hard to say. The records were too limited. As far as we know, there was the Primordial Phoenix, Dragon, Kun-Peng, Kirin, Ox, Griffin, Yggdrasil, Heaven Turtle, and finally, Nine-Tailed Golden Fox. However, we believe that there was more of them. Too bad that those were beasts from the primeval era. We know very little from their origins and abilities. For example, we had no idea that Kun-Peng could generate Godly Energy.'

Krune then thought about something else.

'There are Dragons and Phoenixes descendants, but how come I've never seen a Kun-Peng Descendant?'

'No idea. Zule said that this Kun-Peng was a male. Perhaps there were no females, so it couldn't reproduce. Of course, this is just a baseless assumption.'

Thanks to the help of the High-Level cultivators and demon-beasts, Krune's group arrived at the Kun-Peng's body quite fast.

Of course, they encountered lots of Space Creatures and Spatial Tears on the way. However, the Space Creatures were at most at the Peak of Divinity Realm in strength. In front of the Sect Leaders' groups, they were just ants. One wave of any of them and those Space Creatures were destroyed straight away. As for the Spatial Tears, they were far from being a risk to those at the Mortal Rejection Realm and above.

Finally, they arrived beside the corpse. They looked at the injury on the body and could see the other side through it. It was also easy for everyone to perceive the energy left by the attack that created this damage.

Suddenly, Zule felt his sea of consciousness hurting.

'Argh!'

Krune, who had him inside his Divine Soul, immediately noticed the change.

'Are you alright?'

'My spirit hurts... The energy around the injury seems to be causing it. I feel like I'm about to remember something, but at the same time, I can't quite grasp it.'

Zuke then concentrated on his spirit and stabilized it.

'Anyway, let's part ways with the main group here and go to the head.'

Krune and Iem nodded. They were already intending to do so to start with. The injury went through the entire Kun-Peng's body, which meant that there was no lack of entrances. Krune took that opportunity and sent Franlia a Divine Sense Message.

'We are going to leave here.'

Franlia nodded and then called Dudo and Mala.

'You two, go with them. Make sure to protect those two with your lives.'

Right after, Franlia turned to the other groups.

"I'll see Sect Master Binmia and Aragan at the Silver Core. Of course, if you decide to not come, it will be even better."

She didn't even wait for Aragan or Binmia to reply and led her group into one of the Meridians. With such a big hole, there were obviously a few meridians that were pierced through. It made things a lot easier than having to enter a Blood Vessel to look for one.

Aragan and Binmia looked at each for a second and also separated. They had to arrive at the Silver Core, but no one said that they had to stay together. They also had their own plans and different teams that they will send to explore other areas.

After Franlia's group disappeared from Aragan and Binmia's sight, Krune, Iem, Dudo, and Mala finally separated from Franlia as well.

'Good luck to you four.'

'Thank you, Sect Master.'

Krune's group then made a turn and entered a blood vessel. Right after, Krune released his Purple Tribulation Lightning Layer, which immediately hid his group from any Divine Sense.

"Elder Dudo and Mala, I'll rely on your strength to deal with the Space Creatures."

It would be a lot better than having Iem and himself doing it. After all, they could wipe out that level of enemies in a single strike.

Dudo and Mala didn't mind.

"Don't worry, Sect Master's orders were to protect you two. We will do it even if it cost our lives."

Meanwhile, on Binmia's side, 'Zule' suddenly showed a faint smile.

'This should be far enough.'
