Chapter 748 Phantom Blade
Joty finally came back to himself as he looked at Krune with his eyes wide open.
"You can stop something like that?! Holy shit!"
Amilio was also shocked by Krune\'s display.
"Doesn\'t that mean you only need this wisp close to you, and you can intervene in anyone\'s karma?"
Krune couldn\'t help but say.
"That... would be a little difficult."
Feifei finally lost her patience, though.
"How long are you going to take to put on some clothes?!"
"Ah!"
Only then did Krune notice that he was really naked. He quickly took another set of clothes from his Spatial Ring right after.
"My bad, my bad."
Joty calmed down a little as well.
"Ahem... In any case, that\'s what I had to tell you two. Do not get close to that place since there is a huge calamity waiting for you there... or that\'s what I can read from your karma. At least, don\'t go there in the near future. As time passes, changes happen too. Perhaps it won\'t be a problem a few years in the future."
Krune and Feifei looked at each other before nodding.
"Very well. We did want to go there to investigate the place, but I guess there is no need to be this harsh."
Amilio sighed before slapping the back of Joty\'s head.
"How long are you going to hold my treasures? Give them back!"
Joty felt a little embarrassed and immediately complied with his master\'s orders.
"Sorry, Master."
Krune took that chance to ask another thing.
"By the way, can you see anything dangerous on my or Feifei\'s karma? Are there more of those dark threads?"
Joty shook his head.
"No. After I warned you, the color of the thread point at Soren Ruins changed into a gray color. It means it\'s still dangerous, but not one that would warrant certain death. As for the others, I can\'t see them well since there are way too many."
Joty then looked at Amilio.
"What about you, Master?"
Amilio shook his head as well.
"There are way too many karma threads connected to the two of you. Even I can\'t make them out the way it is. In fact, I\'ve never seen the dark karma thread connected to Krune. It was because of Joty\'s connection with you that it was more clear to him. My Eye Bloodline is more evolved than Joty\'s, but not enough to deal with such intricacy."
Krune and Feifei could only nod. In the end, neither Joty nor Amilio could tell them if they should be careful with anything else.
Joty couldn\'t help but comment.
"Still, how the hell did you get this many connections? I\'ve never seen someone with as many karma threads as you. It feels like calamity is following you on its own."
Luvile\'s voice immediately appeared in Krune\'s mind.
\'See? I told you to stop comprehending the Calamity Laws.\'
Krune\'s mouth twitched.
\'Calamity Laws, your head! Can you stop bringing this name all the time?\'
It was then that Krune had one idea.
"Oh, right! Joty, do you know if there is a way to reduce the number of karma threads for Feifei and me?"
Joty nodded.
"That\'s, in fact, quite simple. You just need to end all relations with whatever is keeping the karma thread there. For example, if you completely give up on the Soren Ruins, the thread connected to that place will eventually disappear on its own."
Krune felt helpless. End relations with everything? If he does that, the foundations of the Four Realms might be destroyed. If he does that, he might die. If he doesn\'t, he might die anyway. The only difference is that not doing anything would put him in a passive position where he could only wait for the results. In that case, he might as well not change anything.
Feifei then thought about something else.
"By the way, how do you know about the Soren Ruins? Only Krune and the Sect Masters of the Divine Path Sect should know about such a thing."
Feifei only knew about that because Krune had told her. Otherwise, even she wouldn\'t have any idea about what Joty was talking about.
Amilio was the one who answered that.
"This is something related to the previous owners of our Eye Bloodline. Obviously, I wasn\'t the only one. My Master was also part of the Divine Path Sect, just like the others before him. The Sect Masters had used our ability in the past. One of those occasions was to look into the karma related to Soren. It\'s just that I don\'t know what the Sect Masters of the past wanted there."
Krune nodded. The Elements Regulation Technique was found in the Soren Ruins. Though, only the Sect Masters and their disciples know about it.
"But wouldn\'t it be bad if the previous cultivators with your eye bloodline looked into this? If I wasn\'t here, Joty would be dead already."
Amilio shook his head.
"It\'s not that simple. Your case was special since it was a pure dark thread. The karma of the previous Sect Masters to the Soren Ruins might not have been that bad, so my bloodline ancestors could face the backlash power. In any case, those were things that happened before I was born, so I don\'t know how it went. Naturally, I also informed Joty about it in case Lucio ever asked something about that to him."
Krune and Feifei understood.
"Anyway, Joty. Thanks for coming here. You saved us from a huge problem. I\'ve been in so many shitty situations that it was good to know that I can at least avoid one now."
Joty smiled, not minding it at all.
"No problem. However, don\'t expect me to do this kind of crazy thing again. Even if you can block the Universe\'s backlash, I would rather not risk it. That was frightening as hell."
At some point, the guards of the Multi-Universal Spatial Gate came to talk with Krune\'s group. Well, that was to be expected after what Krune did in front of them. Krune then simply gave some excuses. Since he didn\'t break anything and no one got hurt, there wasn\'t a need to care about it too much.
Unfortunately, it wasn\'t that simple. The guards sent the news to the Sacred Lands. With such a massive phenomenon, they made sure to record everything in great detail and from many angles. As one could imagine, the leaders of the Sacred Lands were shocked by what they saw as well.
After that, they sent news outside, showing what Krune had just done. The problem here was the place Krune selected to block the Tribulation. It was right in front of the Spatial Gate, so everyone considered that as Krune showcasing his power. After all, they had threatened him of restarting the Wisp Hunt.
In everyone\'s eyes, Krune was saying that he welcomed anyone who wanted to hunt him.
Poor Krune really didn\'t mean that at all, though.
In the end, they could only meet to discuss the information they got from the Sacred Lands.
"What do we do now? If that was not some illusion, he\'s already above the Peak Divinity Realm in power."
Said Lidmir Jiadem from Galec Universe.
"What else? That was obviously a threat directed at us. Should we just swallow it down without taking action? Before he becomes even more of a problem, we should just gather some of our forces and take him down."
Added the representative of the Hara Universe.
However, Olave Merfil narrowed his eyes. He was the same guy whose daughter\'s soul was saved by Krune\'s Purple Flame Pill.
"We shouldn\'t make an enemy of someone who doesn\'t want to fight us. I believe that is his way of saying to not try anything. Otherwise, if we had really gathered a group of experts to attack him, they would have probably died. Isn\'t it a good thing that we didn\'t take action?"
Another leader also mentioned.
"Don\'t forget that he\'s related to Wally. If we really kill him, wouldn\'t Wally come after our heads? Wally even appeared in the Heavenly Competition to guarantee his safety. Can any of you stop that Wisp God if he comes after us for revenge?"
"Exactly! Did you forget? We have been trying to get help for the Higher Realms, but they are completely ignoring the situation down here."
Of course, there were those that felt that they should take action now.
"So what? Can Wally go around destroying everything? If he does that, I refuse to believe that the Higher Realms will stay put as you said. Think about his cultivation. He is still in the 4th Stage of the Divinity Realm. Just how much stronger will he get once he reaches the peak?"
It was then that Sara Lue from Uline Universe suggested.
"There is a way to do that without fearing Wally doing anything."
Everyone\'s attention was immediately piqued as they waited for Sara to continue.
"Did you forget? Krune was the representative of the Luvile Universe. That means that he\'s also the one responsible for Luvile Universe\'s decisions on combat. We can simply initiate some random dispute with any random Universe against the Luvile Universe. That way, he will need to participate."
Everyone\'s eyes lit up.
"Wait! Do we have any Heavenly Core owner capable of fighting him?"
Sara shook her head.
"We don\'t. Most of the Heavenly Core Owners are far behind in cultivation. We can only use someone else."
As soon as she said that, everyone looked at a particular person in the room. He was the representative of the Thakulo Universe, Jojle Carsul.
"Jojle, we have to bother you to call Senior Phantom Blade."
