Is that a Wisp?

"Defend with all your might!" Krune shouted as he condensed a gigantic layer of ice by expending all his Godly Energy, also increasing the size of Pestlor to create a second layer. After that, he sent out a bolt of tribulation lighting using his Spiritual Mark, intending to weaken the beam of tribulation as much as he could.

As for Sterlena, she exhausted her Godly Energy, infusing everything into Krune's abilities, reinforcing them to the limit. In any case, strengthening them was better than erecting more barriers. After all, having a stronger barrier was necessary as compared to multiple barriers in such a scenario.

Moreover, she had morphed the ice barrier in such a way that it would only give in after the entirety of it was destroyed. A hole couldn't be poked through. So, this meant that the tribulation beam would have to fully overpower their defenses and absolutely destroy it before striking them.

The two, in their demon beast forms, stared at the incoming attack as their faces were highlighted in blue by the tribulation. The tribulation lightning sent out by Krune was like someone taking a piss at a volcano. It vaporized before it could even touch the tribulation beam.

"Any last words?" Sterlena gulped, staring at the attack solemnly.

"I'll name it the Lightning Wrath of Heavenly Turtle," Krune said in response, trembling as the attack closed in on them.

Boom!

The tribulation beam slammed into the layer of ice, spreading throughout as the ice began to crack immediately, even after dispersing the attack throughout itself.

Within a second, the ice was wholly vaporized as Pestlor came into view, expanding to tens of kilometers in length, forming a massive sky to shoulder the attack. The tribulation beam bore through a hole from the face of the mortal part, boring through the pestle part before exiting from the handle end.

From top to bottom, a perfect cylindrical bore had been created within the Pestlor as the tribulation beam arrived before the wisp and True Spirit.

"Hahaha! Take this!" Suddenly, Sterlena shouted as a whale appeared before her. It resembled a killer whale but was wholly black as it opened its mouth, unleashing a suction force similar to a black hole, beginning to swallow the tribulation as if it was drinking water.

It seemed even the heavens were surprised by her actions, as Sterlena had never displayed it before.

The black killer whale devoured more than thirty percent of the tribulation beam before turning full as its body was no longer black but resembled the same color as the tribulation beam.

It was a sign that it had devoured until its limit. Immediately after that, it vanished as the Cloud Whale took its place.

As there was no clone within the subspace, it was Krune's mission to begin comprehending the Tribulation Lightning Law Core. After all, the Pseudo-Wisps turned into clones only after a fragment of Little Krune burrowed into them. Currently, Little Krune was within the Cloud Whale.

So, the task was left to him now as Krune began to comprehend it desperately.

When the tribulation beam slammed into the Cloud Whale, a mysterious change erupted from within. There were tens of thousands of drops within its body, whose function was to enhance the perception of the laws to the cultivator that used them.

And then there were the materials imbued with the Divine Sense Law, the manifestation of the law that lorded over the domain that every cultivator relied upon to sense things and practically execute every task as a cultivator.

The Divine Sense Law materials fused into the drops, turning into a shell whose core was the Blank Law Core. Moving into this core was Little Krune, also possessing the Tribulation Lightning Spiritual Mark.

Little Krune activated its Divine Sense, causing the Divine Sense materials to resonate since they were fragments chipped off from Krune's Land Incarnation over a metal plate in the first place.

Through the resonation in the materials, the Divine Sense reached the body of the Cloud Whale, forming a bond as the tribulation beam breached through everything, beginning to destroy through them.

Using the destruction, all the items here formed a stronger connection as the Spiritual Mark within Little Krune unleashed tribulation lightning, slamming it into the Blank Law Core. At the same instant, both the tribulation beam and the tribulation lightning slammed into the Blank Law Core.

It turned into an interesting phenomenon where part of the formed Law Core was Krune's while the rest were the heaven's. Since Krune was also comprehending the Tribulation Lightning Law Core in his subspace, a synergistic effect took place, actually melting everything in the Cloud Whale as a whole.

"Ha… haha!" Krune's eyes lit up a second before the Cloud Whale was destroyed, laughing aloud in joy as the remainder of the tribulation beam slammed into him and Sterlena, causing them to roar in pain as their ethereal bodies were absolutely shredded.

Followed by it were their cores that began to crack and vaporize accordingly, seemingly the beginning of their deaths.

"Ho-Hold on!" Sterlena gasped for air as even her core, the toughest part of her body, was now on the verge of shattering apart.

Krune's Wisp Core was even worse, looking like it might fully evaporate any moment.

She hurriedly shielded him, taking more of the damage as her core reached his state in a matter of seconds. Beyond that, both the cores barely held on, trying their best to resist the tribulation beam when eventually, it ended.

The tribulation clouds had exhausted all the power in them and began to dissipate.

Two cores, the Wisp Core and the True Spirit Core, slammed into the Cultivation Lotus, unresponsive as Godly Energy began to slowly swerve into them.

Zamura had noticed something amiss, arriving at the scene to see two fragments of the cores, paling in response as he hurriedly inspected them, only to sigh soon after. "Alive… but barely. They should be given time to heal."

He hurriedly erected a barrier around the Cultivation Lotus, preventing anyone else from coming in the vicinity, giving the two cores enough time to eventually recover. "Damn, these death-seeking idiots."
