BXBX NOVEL Chapter 629 Ambush
Krune nodded.
\'Alright, but what will we do after that? It\'s not like we can attack the one with the crystal after he finds out he can\'t split it.\'
Jimage smiled before saying.
\'Wrong, anyone with the crystal will become the other two\'s target. Simply put, this will be a fight where there are no allies. As long as the other two don\'t join forces against us, we have nothing to fear. If things go south, we can always retreat. After all, I doubt any of the two will pursue us while one of them is holding the crystal.\'
Krune understood what he meant.
\'Seems like a battle is inevitable now.\'
Jimage shrugged his shoulders.
\'This temporary ceasefire was a lie to start with. Since we will have a fallout, we might as well do it while the other two groups aren\'t allied against us.\'
Krune nodded. After that, Jimage sent a Divine Sense Message to everyone in the group. However, he warned them to now show any concern on their faces to not blow the cover. Still, everyone understood that things will get ugly anytime now. Well, Iem was quite excited about this outcome, though.
"Alright, shall we enter?"
Pharan and Foltan nodded.
Right after, they approached the membrane to cut it. However, it proved to be a lot more resistant than they thought.
"Let me try."
Jimage took out his sword and slashed it. Still, just a small mark was left behind.
"It\'s quite hard. Let\'s join forces and attack the same point."
Pharan, Foltan, and Jimage then took some distance and readied their skills. Right after, they released it together.
*Boom!*
Once again, the membrane resisted the impact. However, it was now possible to see that it was damaged a little. Knowing that their attacks worked, the three leaders continued to attack.
*Boom, boom, boom...*
The membrane couldn\'t withstand the attacks and gave in. As soon as a hole appeared on the surface, it spread very fast, opening a passage big enough for everyone to enter.
"Alright, let\'s go."
Everyone entered the area. Just like outside, the ground had silver blood. However, it had much more than outside. As soon as they entered, half of their bodies were covered by it. It was evident that the silver blood pool was much more profound.
Still, they ignored the silver blood and moved slowly. However, it was then that the situation changed.
*Vup!*
Suddenly, the membrane behind them closed. Now only that, the silver blood on the ground began to ripple.
"Not good!"
Space fluctuation began to come from all sides. Right after, lots of semi-transparent claws came at the groups from everywhere. Obviously, those were the Space Creatures.
*Clang!*
Ramona defended the first attack, but she was forced to retreat several steps.
"So strong!"
Jimage, Foltan, and Pharan\'s expressions turned dark.
"It\'s a trap. They had been waiting for us to enter this place. We need to open then membrane behind us, now!"
However, Pharan gritted his teeth and dashed forward. His objective was the God Crystal on the back of the room. Folta and Jimage noticed that and also pounced at the crystal. The situation was bad, but not out of control yet.
Pharan noticed Jimage and Foltan coming after the crystal as well.
"Why are you following me? Open the damn membrane!"
Foltan laughed after hearing that.
"Hahaha! Don\'t worry, Pharan. I will take care of the crystal. You can go back and open the membrane for us."
Jimage also added.
"We are sharing it, aren\'t we? So it doesn\'t matter who takes it now. In that case, why don\'t you two go back and let me have it? I promise that I will share later."
Of course, Jimage was lying. He is just pretending that he wants to be the one taking it. That was the plan before, and it is still now. He will pretend that he wants to take the crystal as well but let Pharan or Foltan take it first instead.
Pharan and Foltan, obviously, fell for the trick straight away. In their eyes, Jimage was really trying to take the crystal as well.
"Hmph! Then let\'s see who has the ability to hold it."
Back on Krune\'s side, his 102 Myriad Lightning Shields already spread around, forming his Tribulation Shields Slaughter Formation! However, he wasn\'t using it to attack but to give support to the members of his group against the Space Creatures.
Xanala and Rui, the two Divinity Realm members of his group, were fighting at least three Space Creatures with strength compared to their own. Krune looked at the situation and could tell that it wasn\'t good. That\'s because there wasn\'t anyone trying to break the membrane that closed behind them. Everyone was doing their best to defend and kill the Space Creatures.
However, the silver blood on the ground continued to ripple without stop. With Krune\'s Mental Energy, he could see several silver blood points around where Godly Energy accumulated. Not only that, they seemed to be protected by some kind of barrier too.
\'Not good, more Space Creatures are being born.\'
Krune immediately sent all three groups a Divine Sense message after seeing it.
"We were right. The silver blood can give birth to the Space Creatures. There are more of them being created by the minute. We need to join forces and destroy the places where Godly Energy is gathering."
Everyone\'s expression went dark.
"We don\'t have time to attack anything. We are already on our backfoot while just defending against the existent ones."
Suddenly, half of Krune\'s Myriad Lightning Shields appeared around Xanala. She is a 3rd Stage Divinity Realm cultivator, but she was locked down by three Space Creatures of similar strength. However, as soon as Krune\'s shields appeared, the burden on her side decreased a lot.
"Senior Xalana, I will hold two of them down. Take this chance and attack the places I point at."
Xanala was taken aback.
"Can you hold them?"
Krune nodded.
"I\'m definitely not strong enough to kill these creatures. But as long as they are inside my Tribulation Shields Slaughter Formation, I should be barely able to hold two for a short time."
Although she didn\'t know if Krune could really do that or not, Xanala knew that it wasn\'t time to doubt him.
"Alright, tell me the locations."
Krune then used his Mental Energy to pass the exact locations that she needed to attack. Right after, Xanala retreated, which immediately enraged the Space Creatures. The three of them tried to follow her, but two were blocked by Krune\'s Shields.
Obviously, those two wouldn\'t just stay there doing nothing. They immediately began to attack Krune\'s shields as if they were also living enemies. Sure enough, they don\'t have intelligence. The creatures only care about destroying everything.
*Clang, clang, clang...*
Even at this moment, Krune still hasn\'t released his Rainbow Domain. Not only him, but Iem didn\'t release his Domain either. Still, the two were doing a lot more than any of the Semi-Divinity Realm members.
"Iem, try to kills as many as you can to reduce the numbers."
"Senior Xanala, the first point is 200 meters at your eleven o\'clock. Don\'t hold back. Make sure you blast that area in a single go."
Xanala nodded and gathered her Godly Energy while defending against the last Space Creature. Krune could only hold two of the three, so she still had to pay attention to the last one. Still, as long as it was only one, she was confident that she wouldn\'t be caught.
"Fire Obliteration!"
*Boom!*
A crater thirty meters wide soon appeared in the place Krune mentioned. However, now it was possible to see a silver light spot shinning in that place. Xanala didn\'t need to think much to understand that it was the thing that gave birth to the Space Creatures.
"Not good, that thing didn\'t suffer any damage after receiving my attack. I can\'t destroy it!"
But it was at this moment that she heard the sound of something cutting through the air. Right after, Xanala saw a rotating shield with six Purple Lightning Blades cutting right through the Silver Light spot. It went through it so easily that it didn\'t seem that it was there at all.
"What the heck?"
However, she didn\'t have time to think too much about it.
"Senior Xanala, the next one is 356 meters at your 5 o\'clock direction. Leave the Silver Lights to me. What I need is for you to destroy the barriers protecting them just like you did with the last one."
Xanala nodded and immediately moved to the next one. This time, however, she paid attention to her own attack. Sure enough, there was really some kind of barrier around it. If she didn\'t attack will full force, she wouldn\'t be able to destroy it. Krune could destroy the Silver Lights, but he was powerless against the barrier at his cultivation level.
Once again, another Purple Lightning Blade slashed the Silver Light in half, making it disappear right after.
\'Those lights are nothing more a thick agglomeration of Space Laws. With the Purple Tribulation Lightning power, destroying it is really easy.\'
Just like that, Xanala and Krune began to destroy one silver light after another.
