BXBX NOVEL Chapter 757 The Dangers
Feifei immediately noticed that as well, saying.
"Isn\'t that the Dark Water you gave to Heavin?"
Lucio was puzzled as he asked.
"What are you talking about?"
Krune then explained everything to Lucio through a Divine Sense Message.
"Oh... What a weird thing. It\'s reasonable to believe that Heavin and Liriu also got the same reaction then."
"Indeed. In any case, it isn\'t showing a path or anything like that. I was counting on it to guide me in the direction of the two, but for now, it seems quite impossible."
"Anyway, if this was what happened to Heavin\'s water, then they also didn\'t know where to go. That being said, they should have selected the most logical location. Obviously, that would be the Core Region."
Krune and Lucio agreed with Feifei on that.
"Let\'s go."
Like Heavin and Liriu, Krune\'s group also saw how the ruins looked inside. There were indeed many old buildings, statues, etc., as one would expect from a place like this. However, they were all pulsating with faint blue light. It wasn\'t just the vision from outside. Other than that, there wasn\'t anything like above and below them. Naturally, all those things were floating in mid-space in several different positions.
Excluding the ruins, Krune\'s group soon found many faint blue crystals everywhere. Unexpectedly, they also pulsated with the same blue light.
"Master, did your information about the ruins say anything about these crystals?"
Lucio shook his head as he replied.
"No. As far as I know, such things shouldn\'t be here."
Feifei got a bit curious and got a bit close to one of those crystals. There were a lot of them with different sizes. Some were as small as a pebble, while others were as big as a house. Feifei chose one that was a size in between those two types. However, as soon as she touched it, the crystal seemed to come back to life.
Without any warning, the crystal protruded a spike out, just like a porcupine.
"What?!"
Feifei immediately used her comprehension of space laws to retreat. However, those crystals seemed to pierce through the fabric of space, not even giving Feifei the chance to escape. Without any other choice, Feifei brought out her swords from her Swords Formations to block the spikes.
*Clang, clang, clang, clang...*
Fortunately, it wasn\'t hard for her to predict their routes with her Destiny Divine Soul.
Lucio and Krune arrived beside Feifei as they defended from the spikes as well.
"What is that thing?"
"It\'s not over yet! Look!"
Indeed, that cluster that shot the spikes at Feifei only used its outer crystals. The internal crystals were still there. However, they suddenly began to change as an enormous amount of Spiritual Energy came out of the ruins\' walls and entered it.
Unfortunately, that wasn\'t all. Krune\'s group looked around and saw more clusters shooting their outer layer of crystals at them.
"Tribulation Shields Formation!"
Krune\'s 102 Myriad Lightning Shields came out of his Spatial Ring almost instantly before positioning themselves to block most of the spikes. As for the rest, Feifei and Lucio took care of them. Feifei used her own Swords Formations, which had Purple Flame Swords that Krune himself forged. Lucio also brought his own swords out and swung them around, blocking the crystals coming at him with ease.
Not long after, all those crystals started to change as well, assuming the form of several types of demon beasts.
*Roar!*
Krune\'s group was surprised to see that all of them now had cultivations after those beasts took form.
"Every single one of them is at least in the Initial Stages of the Divinity Realm. Is that even possible?"
"Should be, considering the ridiculous amount of Spiritual Energy that they absorbed just now."
"No more chitchat. They\'re coming."
The demon beasts pounced at Krune, Feifei, and Lucio. In an instant, Krune and the others formed a defensive perimeter around themselves and began to fight it.
"Rainbow Domain!"
"Tribulation Shields Slaughter Formation, Second Form, Tribulation Stars!"
"Illusion of Destiny Domain!"
"Myriad Elements Sword Formation, Slaughtering Form!"
"All Attributes Domain!"
"Thousand Colors Strike!"
Feifei, Lucio, and Krune immediately released their domains and their own crowd control abilities. With their Myriad Energies Technique and Major Divine Souls, the beasts immediately noticed that they weren\'t a match for them. However...
*Clang, Clang, Clang...*
"What\'s with their insane defense? Even my Swords Formation is having to attack the same spot several times to break their core."
"They have crystal-like bodies, so it makes sense that their defense is high."
"Don\'t just use Elemental Attacks. Fuse your power with Mental Energy!"
"Alright!"
Be it Lucio or Feifei, they also had over a hundred years in the lower realms to practice the Soul Cultivation Technique. Besides, Dalin only closed recently. Before that, Lucio had been in the Wisp Main World cultivating with Godly Energy as well. It went without saying that cultivating the Soul Technique was even faster with that. In the end, almost everyone in Krune\'s group had at least reached the Soul Control Realm.
*Bang! Crack! Shatter!*
"It works!"
"Not only does it work. They\'re also ridiculously weak against Mental Energy fused attacks."
"Hahaha! This will be easy!"
However, it was then that Feifei noticed a problem.
"Senior Lucio, the Soren Ruins was already considered a dangerous place for Divinity Realm experts even without these weird crystals. So what exactly was the thing that threatened them?"
Lucio and Krune were taken aback for a second. All of a sudden, newcomers entered their Divine and Mental Energy range.
Lucio couldn\'t help but bitterly smile after seeing those creatures.
"Ghosts!"
*OWOOOWWWWooo*
Hundreds of human and demon beast-like creatures charged at Krune\'s group at full speed. However, they were different from the Crystal Demon beasts. Krune\'s group couldn\'t see their cultivation at all.
"Careful, these are the original dangers of the Soren Ruins, the ghosts. Anyone who dies in the Soren Ruins won\'t have a chance at reincarnating. Instead, their soul will be pulled inside by the ruins and become Yin Energy Ghosts in the future."
"Also, they can be defeated but never destroyed. Their Soul Energy will simply dissipate and gather somewhere else until a new ghost will be formed."
Krune narrowed his eyes.
"Let me try something. Hold the Crystal Demon Beasts for a bit."
Feifei and Lucio nodded.
"Alright."
Krune then pointed at one of the ghosts in the distance.
"Purple Lightning Shot!"
*Zap!*
Luvile\'s Tribulation Lightning passed through the ghost just like a hot knife through butter. It didn\'t stop and passed through several more ghosts before disappearing in the distance. However, the holes in the ghosts suddenly began to close. From the looks of it, even Luvile\'s Law-eating Law wasn\'t enough to kill those things in a single strike.
Krune was surprised to see that. He then took several of his Tribulation Stars and sent them against the ghost. Sure enough, his Myriad Lighting Shields cut the ghosts in half, one after the other. However, the same faint blue light came out of the Soren Ruins and fed the ghosts, which they used to recover their bodies.
Lucio narrowed his eyes after seeing that.
"The Soren Ruins is a lot more dangerous now. Usually, after you did enough damage to these ghosts, they would dissipate. It would take a long time for them to gather together and form a new ghost. However, the Soren Ruins seems to be making it almost instantaneously."
Feifei nodded.
"They aren\'t exactly strong. But they can very well wait for our Spiritual Energies to run out. And I\'m sure it will definitely happen if we continue like this. Still, to think that even Luvile\'s power can\'t kill them straight away."
Luvile\'s voice entered their minds through a Divine Sense message after he heard that.
"These ruins are connected to Soren, one of the gods of the past. It\'s not easy for gods to eliminate each others\' power."
Krune also thought the same thing.
"Let me try something a bit stronger."
Purple Tribulation Lightning then gathered above Krune\'s head before he used his skill.
"Heaven\'s Fall!"
*Zap! Boom!*
Immediately, tens of ghosts were pulverized by Krune\'s ability. Krune\'s Heaven\'s Fall wasn\'t made of only Purple Tribulation Lightning. It also carried the fused five elements of the Elements Regulation Technique with a focus on Lightning Power. That made all of Krune\'s attacks even more terrifying.
Sure enough, the ghosts didn\'t recover after that. Not only that, but the yin energy they were made of didn\'t return to the Soren Ruins either. Krune had literally eliminated them for good.
However, Lucio shook his head.
"This isn\'t good enough. Let\'s retreat for now. There are way too many ghosts for you to eliminate them all like that."
Krune and Feifei nodded.
"Tribulation Wings!"
Krune immediately activated his movement skill. At the same time, Feifei and Lucio each stepped on one of Krune\'s shields.
*Swish!*
With Feifei\'s Illusion of Destiny Domain, it was easy to predict all of their enemies\' attacks. Besides, Krune\'s group was already much stronger than ordinary Divinity Realm cultivators and Demon Beasts, so they were a lot faster.
In the end, it wasn\'t anything hard to leave the battlefield. Of course, they didn\'t return to the outside. Instead, they headed in the Core Region\'s direction.
