Chapter 1279 - Krune Loses His Cool
"Your clones are pretty convenient," Sterlena commented as she and Krune continued to run past the Reverse Rainfall.
"Help me!" Suddenly, a man shouted as he continued to run away, turning into a golden streak of light. All along, he was bleeding blood, his injuries failing to heal up.
Suddenly, a white light appeared behind him, when the man condensed a golden hand, clutching the white light that broke away into mist and seeped out through the gaps between the golden fist\'s fingers, condensing a hammer of mist that swatted the golden light towards the ground.
"Gah!" The man\'s godly technique came undone as he coughed out blood, turning into a bloody mess.
And coming to a standstill before him was an old man sporting a gentle demeanor. Though, the killing intent he exuded formed a sharp contrast to his countenance.
"Just meet your fate. This is your just desserts for annihilating my sect," the old man said, slamming an attack into the other party, causing him to cough out blood.
Golden light shone as his Spiritual Incarnation was activated, healing all his injuries as he returned to his pristine appearance. Immediately, his body morphed, turning into a three-headed humanoid bull, sporting two pairs of arms, wearing brass knuckles that shone with suffocating pressure.
"Take this!" Screaming with all his might, the three-headed bull condensed a golden avatar of himself over him, condensing power that resembled a deity before slamming it into the old man.
The old man snorted in response, condensing a shield of clouds that softened the blow, skidding on the ground from the impact. Just when he planned to retaliate, he noticed the figures of Krune and Sterlena approaching them, alarmed, shouting at them, "Are you planning to interfere?"
"Nope." Krune pointed forward as he replied, "We\'re aiming for the treasures in the next region. Good luck with your revenge."
"Phew." The old man sighed in relief, watching the two figures leave as he patted his chest. "They seemed pretty strong."
He then noticed the massive golden figure charging at him, smirking as he defended against the attacks, using his massive cloud that absorbed all the attacks. "As expected of an immortal from the Golden Gate Sect. All your godly abilities are stronger than your cultivation."
"Take this!" The three-headed bull didn\'t seem to care about his speech and attacked him nonstop.
"However, your glory days are over. With the death of your sect leader and most of the elders, you don\'t have the means to defend against us." The old man smirked. "Besides, in your heyday, you were only at the First Stage of the God Trial Realm while I was at the Seventh Stage of the God Trial Realm. Even with your powerful godly technique, you cannot last long against me."
"Besides." He grinned, watching the three-headed bull become riddled with injuries all over. "You\'ve already been poisoned."
"What? That\'s impossible!" The three-headed bull was shocked as all its injuries opened up immediately, causing it to slump to the ground. "But... I took care of them with my Spiritual Incarnation already."
"As if my poison was so simple." Letting out a cackle, another man walked out from behind a tree, nonchalantly grinning. "It was just incubating within you. By now, it has already spread through your Spiritual Incarnation and any Land Incarnation you\'ve left in the God Realm."
"T-This is…impossible!" the three-headed bull said in grief before collapsing to the ground, no longer able to stand up anymore, slowly bleeding towards its death.
At this time, the old man arrived before it, placing a led on its jaw, displaying a vial. "This is the antidote to that poison. You\'ll have to die here, but at the very least, your revival methods would survive if you consume this. Whether or not you can escape our hunt beyond that is up to fate. However, the choice is yours."
"What do you want?" the three-headed bull asked, clearly showing signs of giving in. "Just let me live, damn it. Whatever you need, I\'ll just tell you."
"I heard Feifei inherited your founder\'s Spiritual Incarnation." The old man grinned. "As long as you reveal her location, I\'ll spare you."
"Her damn master didn\'t even reveal anything no matter how much we tortured her and just took charge to destroy her Spiritual Incarnation just to escape from our hands." The man that had poisoned the three-headed bull snorted. "Still, we know that you\'re brothers with the Divination Immortal. You should have learned of her location through him by now."
"M-Mountain Sect!" the three-headed bull shouted immediately. "It\'s near some small place called the Zamuria Continent. It\'s a new sect that was just established. That\'s where she was ten years ago when the Divination Immortal divined her location."
"Great." The old man smiled, waving his hands. "As promised, I won\'t destroy the rest of your Land Incarnations in the God Realm."
"T-Thank you." The three-headed bull gasped in relief, closing his eyes, preparing for his death. But suddenly, he screamed in pain, for a mysterious force invaded his body and coursed through the laws forming his Spiritual Incarnation, traveling throughout the God Realm before finding the places with his Land Incarnations.
Katata!
Followed by a snapping sound, all his Land Incarnations were destroyed.
"You promised!" the three-headed bull screamed before turning into a puddle of blood that froze over.
"That wasn\'t me!" The old man shouted in alarm and gazed at the other man, seeing that he was also flustered.
"Who did you say you were targeting?" A cold voice resounded from behind the old man, chilling him to the bone. Before he realized it, he noticed that he was unable to use his Godly Energy anymore.
Godly Inhibition Tower!
The two men were no longer able to use their Godly Energy as the figure of Krune appeared behind them, veins popping out of his face to the extent his blood gushed out with enough force it formed craters on the ground when impacting.
