Is that a Wisp?

1271 Blank Law Core

"Look at him." Kirena Wohat snorted, glaring at Krune from far away. "He's dancing like a monkey, oblivious to everything."

"Don't bother with him for now," The man accompanying him frowned, focusing attacks onto a Fire Deity. "We can always kill him later and devour all his laws."

"But..." His voice turned solemn as he continued, "That woman accompanying him is bad news. You saw how effortlessly she severed our heads before, right? She did that to us ex-Primal Gods."

"Right…" Kirena frowned, unconsciously clutching her neck, recalling the scene from when Sterlena had attacked her. "We'll have to first separate them. Or even better…"

"Make her face a lot of enemies and tire her out. In the end, we can devour her too, along with Krune." She snickered, eyes flashing about with a cunning glint.

"Keke!" The man laughed. "Let's observe them and instigate others while doing so."

Running through the place was Krune, targeting the Wind Deities one after another. In his subspace, each clone held a Wind Deity Core, absorbing it as his comprehension of the Law of Wind continued to climb up steadily.

Soon after, he stopped hunting them, judging that the ones he collected were enough to elevate his comprehension of the Law of Wind to the Semi-God Realm. They wouldn't work beyond that.

To improve his comprehension, he would have to hunt the God Trial Realm Wind Deities. However, that needed a lot of effort and was risky. Moreover, he would have to go all out, which would end up revealing his true strength.

Krune didn't wish to take the risk at this point, hence switching targets to a Water Deity instead. After obtaining enough, he continued to change targets.

There were many times when other cultivators competed for him. Normally, he avoided a confrontation, killing the Law Deity quickly to store the core.

Though, if they targeted him instead, he retaliated, sending them flying with a good old smack from the Pestlor.

"How dare you, brat? Do you know who I am?" The moment he grabbed hold of a Law Deity Core, a middle-aged man bellowed, emanating fighting spirit.

"I don't," Krune replied in all seriousness, maintaining eye contact with the other party for a moment before his figure flickered past.

The middle-aged man could only rage, for he was unable to catch up to Krune's speed.

While hunting in such a fashion, Krune came across the man who had reached the plains before Sterlena, the ex-God Realm Cultivator.

Unlike the others, he casually strolled through the area, extending his hand to grab hold of a Law Deity Core before swallowing it as is. The Law Deity didn't even manage to retaliate before vanishing.

He neither used any techniques nor released even an ounce of Godly Energy. His actions also weren't that fast, only as fast as a God Foundation Realm cultivator.

However, he was reaping benefits the fastest.

Upon noticing Krune staring at him, the man turned around and glanced his way.

Pressure!

It was unknown as to what had happened, but before he realized it, Krune was on the ground, his body half-buried.

The moment he came to a realization, he hurriedly got up, noticing Sterlena standing before him, taking on a protective stance.

Upon noticing her, there was a mild twitch in the man's brows before he continued on with his task of reaping Law Deity Cores, unconcerned about other matters.

"Are you alright?" Sterlena asked in concern as she looked at Krune.

"Yes." Krune inspected himself before muttering in confusion, "I still cannot understand the reason I was on the ground. It happened too fast."

"It's for the best to not interfere with him," she said. "That'll be the smart way to go about it. I had an eye on you all along, but even for me, I would have barely managed to react to his attack."

"Still..." She smiled, patting him on the shoulder as she told him, "Had that been someone else, they would have died. You have your tough body to thank. You actually came out unscathed from that."

'No, I expended all my Mental Energy to defend that.' He uttered in his mind. It was a barrier that constantly defended him, absorbing all power from the attack. In response, it was expended as a result.

So, only thanks to expending all his Mental Energy reserves was he unscathed from that attack. And by expending all his Mental Energy, it meant the total energy in him. After all, all three forms of energy were interchangeable in him.

So, in an instant, everything became Mental Energy to guard against that attack.

Had he not been at the Ninth Stage of the Nascent God Realm and was still at the God Core Realm, he would have died.

Then again, this also meant that the trinity of energies in his body allowed Krune to reach such a stage where he was able to withstand an attack from such a powerhouse that had once been a God.

Suddenly, there was a stirrup among the cultivators as everyone rushed towards a mountain that was a hundred kilometers away. They even ignored the Law Deity Cores to do so, their eyes red, in a frenzy.

"What's happening?" Krune frowned, unable to make heads or tails of the situation.

"Let me find out," Sterlena said as she closed her eyes, activating countless laws as she condensed them into her eyes, activating a mysterious ability that allowed her to scout from far away.

She then focused on the mountain, noticing twelve gemstones hovering atop the peak, transparent.

Upon probing at their aura, she was shocked before trembling in excitement. "Blank Law Cores."

"What are they?" Krune asked, unaware.

"They're just like the Law Deity Cores, but without any law in them," she said, barely reigning in her excitement, speaking upon seeing that Krune was unable to see their worth. "Suppose you have a mysterious technique that you learned recently but haven't comprehended much yet. But, if you unleash that ability into a Blank Law Core, it'll absorb it and then turn into a Law Deity Core of the respective law forming that ability."

"This is the fastest way to upgrade your trump cards."

Hiss!

Krune inhaled a deep breath, clearly understanding their value. After all, he had a mysterious ability, one that could never be comprehended beyond the level he had already attained.
