Is that a Wisp?

Suddenly, the Seal that 'Zule' had created for Binmia back then came to life. Around a year ago, 'Zule' said that the Seal would allow Binmia to control the surrounding power up to a few kilometers inside Kun-Peng's body. Binmia, of course, had kept the Seal close to her until now in her Spatial Ring.

Little did she know that 'Zule's' plan had already started at that point. That Seal was, in fact, connected to his own Fragmented Soul. In a certain way, it was a safety measure in case he got restricted by something. Obviously, it was the Soul-Destruction Mark left behind by Binmia.

Right after, the surrounding environment began to shine with Silver Light, reacting to the Seal. Binmia, of course, immediately stopped and looked at 'Zule.'

"It is definitely you! What are you doing?!"

Simultaneously, she summoned the Soul Destruction Mark, read to detonate 'Zule's' Soul at any time. However, 'Zule' seemed to not care about that thing at all.

Binmia then clenched the Seal mark on her hand, activating it straight away. Too bad, though. The moment she did it, the Seal that 'Zule' had given her back then activated as well. It shot out of Binmia's Spatial Ring and intercepted the Mark on her hand.

"Not good."

Binmia immediately understood that she was tricked and gave up trying to detonate 'Zule's' Fragmented Soul. She quickly grabbed that Seal and used her Godly Energy to lock its power too. But it wasn't over. She summoned the surrounding Godly Energy and her Laws, activating her Domain while at it. Right after, she attacked.

"Raging Sea Domain!"

"Recess of the Ranging Sea!"

Water Laws and Element converged around 'Zule' in a split of a second. Binmia didn't hold back and attacked with her full strength.

"Hehe. It's a little too late now."

It was at that moment that 'Zule's' body changed into Silver Blood, quickly fusing with the Silver Blood on the ground.

*Boom!*

The world trembled with Binmia's attack power, creating a crater of several kilometers deep into the Demon Beast's body. Several Blood Vessels were destroyed together with the Meridian Wall in front. This attack alone showed just how big the difference between Krune and Binmia was. Even with Krune's strongest attack, he could barely do any damage to the blood vessels. Especially the meridians wall. I stark contrast to Binmia's God Core Level power. Of course, considering the Kun-Peng's size, this was nothing more than a scratch.

Unfortunately...

"Hahaha! Well then, Sect Master Binmia. Thank you very much for bringing my Soul out of my body in the past, not to mention the Top Quality Godly Energy Stones you provided me later. Back then, I was too weak to do anything. Thanks to the fact that my Soul Fragment was brought outside, I was finally able to recover some of its power. Now I can finally go back and do what I'm supposed to."

Binmia's expression was dark.

"Is that how you thank me? By leaving me behind? First of all, why don't you show yourself so that we can have a good chat, uh?"

'Zule' didn't mind the remark, though.

"Oh, don't worry. It's not like I'm leaving without giving you anything. That Seal in your hand, I wasn't lying about its power. You can really use it to gather the power of my body up to a few kilometers around you. It's just that I left another trick on it so that I could neutralize your Soul-Destroying Mark. Now that I'm free, you can use it once again to do exactly that."

"As for why I can't appear in front of you, that's because I'm a little too weak at the moment. But don't you worry. Because of your critical help, I will be able to recover soon enough. This kid's body you provided me to possess was of great help too. Oh, right. I would be fast if I were you. Once I recover control of my body, it won't be so easy to leave this place."

After that, 'Zule's' voice disappeared. Binmia then looked at the Seal that she kept locked in her hands. She felt like destroying it straight away. However, she couldn't ignore the possibility that 'Zule' was talking the truth this time. If that was so, she would probably need it in the future.

"Sect Master, I think we should leave straight away. We don't know what that Fragmented Soul can do while we are not looking at it."

Binmia'seyes narrowed as she pondered about the issue. In the end, she shook her head as she looked at the Meridian passage in front of her.

"We can't leave yet. As 'Zule' said, he is too weak at the moment. I refuse to believe that he can recover his control over this body anytime soon. After all, it is simply too big. The Soul Power necessary to do such a thing is far above what he has at the moment. In fact, even my Soul as a God Core Realm expert is not enough either. We should use this chance to try to get as many resources as possible from this body before leaving."

Binmia was obviously talking about the Foundation Space inside the Silver Core.

"Besides, according to the reports we received, this demon beast's Demon Core is severely damaged. It should take even longer to recover something like that. Don't worry, we should still have a lot of time before 'Zule' can pose any threat to us. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left without doing anything. The proof was that he was waiting for the other Sect Masters to leave first before making his move. He was afraid that he would fail if too many experts were close to him."

The other elders looked at each other and then accepted Binmia's orders.

"Alright, we will keep following the plan. Send the teams of Mortal Rejection Realm cultivators and demon beasts into other passages. It will be good if they can find more resources on the way. As for the rest of us, we are going to the Silver Core. Anyway, let's go!"

Back on Krune's side, half a day had passed already. During this time, they had been moving forward while using the Vibrant Beads to tell which direction Franlia was located. While Franlia's team moved to the Silver Core, Krune's group moved in the opposite direction. That was an easy way to know that they were moving in the head's direction even though they are inside this blood vessels' maze.

On the way, Dudo and Mala wiped out any Space Creature that appeared in front of them. However, what left them impressed was the fact that Krune never guided the group to a dead-end. It was as if he could see everything in front of him. Obviously, Krune was used his Mental Energy Scan, which is not as restricted by Godly Energy as Divine Sense is.

"Hum... with Elder Dudo and Mala's help, we are moving very fast. We are probably halfway through."

"That's good. Fortunately, the Space Creature's level is all the same. Otherwise, it wouldn't be this easy."

"What about that God Crystal from the Past?"

"I don't know. It was definitely much stronger than Peak Divinity Realm cultivators. However, I don't know if it would be a match for two God Foundation Realms like elder Dudo and Mala."

"Well, we will only know if we find something like that again."

A few hours later, they seemed to arrive at some kind of division. However, it was not like there were different passages for them to take. It's just that the environment around them began to change a little.

"This should be the point where the head starts. It feels so weird to travel inside a body. If not for the Silver Blood everywhere, it would be quite hard to tell the difference from outside."

"From what Sect Master Franlia said, Binmia's exploration group had come to this place in the past instead of going to the Silver Core. They were also able to return safe and sound. That being said, the level of danger should still be similar to the rest of the body."

Nevertheless, they decided to move with more caution, reducing the speed by more than half. They had a lot of time to explore the body. Not to mention that even if Dimensional Realm closes, Krune and Iem would be able to open a passage again. After all, they now know the exact position where they should do it.

Everything was going okay when suddenly...

"Oh! You are finally here."

Everyone was taken back by that voice, including Krune. Even his Mental Energy Scan couldn't detect anything.

Right after, the wall and the Silver Blood began to shine, just like it did with Binmia back then.

'It's him! It's the familiar presence I told you about at the entrance, the one that is similar to me!'

Only Krune and Iem heard Zule's voice, so Dudo and Mala kept looking around, not knowing what was happening.

"Come out!"

'Zule' laughed and did precisely that.

"Here I am. So, what will you do?"

Dudo and Mala recognized him. After all, that was the same kid they had seen beside Binmia before entering the Dimensional Realm. Still, for some reason, their Divine Senses told them that there was nothing in front. They were only able to see the kid with their naked eye.

"You are Sect Master Binmia's subordinate."

'Zule' shook his head, though.

"No way! I would never fall so low to become that ant's subordinate."

'Zule' then looked in Krune's direction.

"Anyway, my business here is with you. The rest can fuck off already."
