Is that a Wisp?

"Kekekeke….kukukuku…kakakaka!" Krune couldn't help but grin like an evil mastermind as the quality of his Godly Energy reached the peak of the Nascent God Realm.

The inhibition effect on him had completely vanished now as he was free once more, now stronger than before. The same techniques, when unleashed now, would be a lot stronger. After all, there was no longer any difference between him and a Nascent God.

The quantity of Godly Energy possessed by both would differ. Though that is in the case Krune was normal. But now, he had three dantians that were superimposed over one another, behaving like they were one, but in actuality, they were three dantians.

Energy cultivation, soul cultivation, and body cultivation; the energy sources for all three had been converted into dantians. He had a dantian for regular cultivation from the start. Soul cultivation was the foundation of his soul. The Mental Energy was generated from there.

And the energy for body cultivation was stored in his Ocean Heart. If not for Ocean Heart, he wouldn't have been able to integrate body cultivation into the trinity.

Thanks to that, it was hard to pinpoint anything related to Krune. After all, if even a part of him remained, it could regenerate into the entire whole easily.

After all, all three aspects of cultivation were unified in him. Thanks to that, even his base godly abilities were on par with a Nascent God.

In fact, once he went all out, Krune was confident of killing even a Semi-God Realm cultivator now. He could feel his abilities elevating on a whole.

After all, since his Godly Energy entered the Nascent God Realm, he was able to convert it into its equivalent of Mental Energy and body energy. And that meant that using the development effect would strengthen his body even further.

Krune wasn't a Nascent God yet but had already attained all the benefits one could get from the realm. Smiling, he casually entered the flight of stairs.

"Brenker said that he had entered the sixth floor. So, unless I break through the restrictions there, I won't be able to win against him." Thinking as such, he erupted with his strength, arriving at the end of the flight of stairs.

And now, he returned to his wisp form once again, realizing that only if he went all out would he be able to handle the inhibition of this level.

As he expected, the moment he flew into the fifth level, he slammed into the ground, unable to get up as his ethereal body fluctuated erratically, unable to maintain its form.

Like a candle whose flame was snuffed out, his ethereal form vanished as his Wisp Core made a clunking sound upon touching the floor. It rolled over for some time before stopping.

"…"

The familiar feeling of being unable to move returned once again when Krune began to practice, condensing his Cloud Whale around the Wisp Core, causing it to fly everywhere.

As the Cloud Whale was related to his physique and was activated using his body energy, it wasn't inhibited in the place. The reason he was planning as such was to prepare against his eventual foe. "Brenker."

"Before that, I must collect any items that would help me in this situation. Even God Stones would be helpful." Saying so, Krune took out his Soul Needle, intending for it to point him towards the nearby God Stones that the dead cultivators had been carrying with them.

However, the moment it appeared, the Soul Needle began to whir unceasingly as Krune could feel his Spiritual Incarnation stirring up through it.

Gong!

Suddenly, the entire tower hummed before a mysterious energy was channeled through the Soul Needle, alarming Krune.

He raised his head upward, noticing a silhouette resembling a tower with nine levels slowly descend towards him. It had a body made of Godly Energy, almost transparent in nature.

As it arrived closer and closer to him, it began to shrink in size.

As if it had been waiting for that to happen, the Soul Needle shot forth, piercing the projection of the tower, causing the other party to shrink in size continually until it vanished into the Soul Needle.

"…Wha….kehuheufhuefuencudd!" Krune began to mutter when he noticed only gibberish came out of his mouth. Before he could understand what had happened, intense pain emanated from his Wisp Core, causing him—the Wisp Core—to roll on the floor in pain.

No matter what he used, the pain never subsided, causing him to scream in pain. But suddenly, as unexpectedly as it had begun, the pain stopped when Krune felt like his mind would tear apart at the volume of information that poured into him.

"Grrahhhh!"

"Grakkk!"

"Ugyaaaahhh!"

"Aieeeee!"

He continued to scream for a good couple of days before the Wisp Core settled at one corner, dimming a bit as it seemed like his mind had been fried.

Another day later, Krune barely regained consciousness, grunting as he noticed that the inhibition effect on him had been broken. "So…easily?"

It had only been three days, but he had already broken through it. And now, his Godly Energy quality had reached the same level as a Semi-God Realm cultivator.

Of course, even he knew that proceeding towards the sixth level was a death sentence. Had he been at the Nascent God Realm, he would have been able to take the risk.

But as he was only at the God Core Realm, it was a definite death sentence if he entered the sixth level. It was made apparent now.

After remaining silent for an hour, Krune began to boisterously laugh. "Screw you, damn Primal God!"

After all, the one his Soul Needle had absorbed was the core of the Godly Inhibition Tower. The core and the tower itself were two entirely different entities.

The tower was a place that formed naturally due to the laws that clashed around in the formation of the infant supercontinent.

On the other hand, the core was a condensation of such laws, the cause that created this tower in the first place.

Since his Soul Needle had absorbed the core of the Godly Inhibition Tower, it had now become his ability.

Had he obtained ownership of the tower, he would have to figure out a method to carry such a colossal structure.

But now, he had an ability whose function was the exact same as the tower. As his godly ability, he could wield it as he pleased.

Once he digested all the related information, Krune nodded in understanding, muttering, "I see why there was such a reaction now. There's no such thing as an Inhibition Law."
