Chapter 486: Another year of improvement

Soon, another year went by. Krune had passed both the 8th and 9th Light Pillar tests without much issue. He also got another 16 Godly Energy Stones during this time. With Krune's level of adaptation to Godly Energy, he could have gone even further, but he took his time to properly cultivate. Besides, even though the number of cultivators and demon beasts around him decreased, their cultivation was not to the same. So advancing recklessly without the power to protect oneself wouldn't be a good idea.

Thanks to Heavin's Mental Energy and the Purple Tribulation Lightning Layer, Krune avoided being found for quite a few Divine Path Realms. That's why he stopped to cultivate on the Ninth Floor for the last year. The Godly Energy here was already quite high, and he could have time to absorb his Godly Energy Stones.

Krune went from the 1st Stage of the Void Breaking Realm all the way to the 4th. One must remember that every time a user of the Myriad Energies Technique breaks through a Realm, their Meridians improve. It will continue like this until the Meridians are able to do a complete conversion. Krune's Chaos Meridians could now covert almost 50% of the Elemental Source Energy into Chaos Energy instantly, while the rest was converted by his Divine Soul like any other Void breaking Realm cultivator or demon beast. Still, three small realms in just a year was really a frightening thing to see.

Another thing was that Krune had several opportunities to battle in the meantime. As the cultivation of the opponents' increased, so did their combat prowess. Krune had even bumped on another Heavenly Divine Soul, which forced him to flee straight away. There were also a lot more Heavenly Fragment owners. In the end, Krune gathered quite a few different Heavenly Fragments from other Universes.

Fortunately, he found owners of the same Universes coming at him after that. Sometimes they would immediately attack or demand the Heavenly Fragments in Krune's possession. In the end, Krune would take their fragments as well. Of course, there were those who were also strong, so Krune had an even match or even be at a disadvantage.

But it was also those ones that would understand that they wouldn't be able to defeat Krune. Without another choice, they traded their Godly Energy Stones or other things for Krune's Heavenly Fragments. This way, Krune got another 9 Godly Stones, which was also part of the reason why he is already in the 4th Stage of the Void Breaking Realm.

Krune was once again hidden somewhere in the Ninth Floor while cultivating. Heavin was also there, and just like Krune, he had improved a lot in this last year. First, he did as Krune said and practiced his Puppeteer skills while using his Mind Splitting Technique to not stop cultivating.

Being able to generate Chaos Energy on his own now, he didn't need to hold back anymore. Every time they stopped somewhere, he would bring all his tools out and improve his Puppet Crafting Skills. By now, Heavin could already be considered a Three Diamond Stars Puppeteer. He also got Krune's help to change several parts of the Parrot, finally making it enter the Diamond Stars Level. Of course, the only thing that had no need for change was the god-level beak.

As for the lack of materials, it was not a problem. Some of the Heavenly Fragment Owners didn't have Godly Stones, so Krune took materials as payment. Otherwise, Heavin's Parrot Puppet wouldn't be in the Diamond Stars Level now.

Another point was that Heavin went from the 1st to the 3rd Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. Since Heavin was part of his Divine Soul, it also increased Krune power considerably. As mentioned before, the Soul Cultivation Technique that Heavin invented only had Five Stages in each Realm. Being in the third was already impressive. Krune's own Soul Cultivation was lagging more and more behind. That showed that Heavin's Cultivation Technique was really made for Divine Souls.

Of course, it was not like Krune's Soul hasn't improved. He was now in the 3rd Stage of the Soul Enhancement Realm, and his Mental Energy could spread for over 25km. Although it paled in comparison to Heavin, that was also a great weapon on his side.

Last but not least, There were Krune's Laws improvements. Krune had been 100% focused on Light Spirit's Purple Lightning Tribulation Laws, leaving all the others aside. He didn't have much issue comprehending the other Laws outside the Holy Land, but Light Spirit's ones were another story. So he had long since decided to not lose his time in the other Laws.

His Flash Annihilation Sub-Laws was already at culmination; therefore, he focused on the other two that he could see at the moment. The first was Charged Lightning Energy Sub-law, which was in the advanced Stage a year ago. This one didn't change, though. It was still at the same level. However, Krune could feel that it wouldn't take long for him to reach culmination with it as well.

The other one was the Purple Tribulation Sub-Law, responsible for the Tribulation Power in Light Spirit's Purple Lightning. This one went from the Initial Stage to the Intermediate. Krune couldn't help but feel excited about how fast his Purple Tribulation Lightning Laws were advancing. The more he comprehended, the easier it was to control. It directly affected all his attacks that were dependent on it and especially his Rainbow Domain.

At some point, Krune stopped cultivating for a moment to check his condition.

"Almost in the 5th Stage of the Void breaking Realm. I wonder just how long would I have taken to reach this level without Godly Energy."

Light Spirit was also happy with the situation.

"Indeed. Thanks to the Godly Energy, I was able to recover quite a lot as well. What I would have taken at least ten years was done in just two. The Godly Energy of the higher levels is going to be even higher. Anyway, once you enter the 5th Stage, let's move to the 10th Floor."

Krune nodded.

"That's the place where everyone can gather. Feifei had been in the 7th Floor last time I checked, and I'm sure she will continue to go up. On the 10th Floor, we will finally be able to find each other. Besides, I believe that Laex will probably be there as well."

Light Spirit agreed.

"Indeed. Anyway, go back to cultivate. And before you ask, Fie's Tribulation Lightning Essence is still in her, so she is fine. Most likely, she really did hide in the 2nd Floor and stayed there, as you said."

Krune smiled and quickly went back to his cultivation.

Krune was right. Feifei was really on the 7th Floor. She didn't have as many Godly Stones as Krune, but her cultivation was higher than his by two stages before. Unfortunately, she doesn't have the Chaos Meridians yet. Because of that, her cultivation was quite slower than Krune's. By now, Krune had finally caught up with her, and both of them are at the 4th Stage.

Feifei had the same idea as Krune and focused her mind on the Laws that were the hardest for her to comprehend. Thanks to that, Feifei had finally reached culmination with her first Destiny Sub-Law, Cause. Even the second one, Effect, had now arrived at the Intermediate Stage. It was all thanks to the Godly Energy present in the Holy Land. Still, Feifei hasn't grasped the last Sub-Law, Destiny Energy, yet.

Over Two years had made a great difference for Tiane and Ruik. Their cultivation was far behind Krune and Feifei to start with, so they were faster. Besides, they don't have Universe Foundations like Krune and Feifei, so it was easier to achieve breakthroughs as well.

Tiane and Ruik were lucky to have been sent to the same Dimensional Realm after the first Light Pillar. But from the second onwards, they got separated too. Still, this proved to be a great experience for the couple. They were basically like Dilo and Xankruan, so their pace was very similar.

Tiane is now on the 5th Floor. Her cultivation went from the 3rd Stage of the Soul Forging Realm all the way to the 8th Stage. Her Laws also improved a lot since she focused on the Wind and Lightning, which were part of the five Main Elements, the easiest ones.

Wind Essence was at culmination, Breeze reached advanced Stage, and finally, she grasped a new sub-law of wind, Gale, which was at the intermediate level now. As for her Lightning Laws, Current reached culmination while Lightning Form got up to the Intermediate Stage.

In Ruik's case, he spent a lot of time in the Dream Laws. His first one, Dream World Construction, was already at the culmination level to start with. That being said, he could focus on the next ones from the very start.

Nightmare World Construction was now at the Advanced Stage, close to culmination as well. At the same time, his Reality sub-law arrived at the Intermediate Stage.

As for his cultivation, Ruik was already at the 9th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm.

A year ago, Dilo was looking for a place to enter the Void Breaking Realm. Although he went to a remote area, it didn't change the fact that he was still on the Lower Floors, which meant there were many more cultivators and demon beasts. In the end, he was attacked after his Breakthrough was over.

Fortunately, the enemies weren't the top geniuses of the Holy Land. Those ones had long since gone to higher floors and wouldn't waste their time on the Lower ones.

Therefore, Dilo was able to escape. He was a Wind Element and Laws expert, after all. His Storm Domain had the support of more wind laws, too, making it was quite a strong one at the moment. Now that another year went by, his cultivation reached the 2nd Stage of the Void Breaking Realm. He understood that by now, Krune and Feifei had probably surpassed him. Still, he didn't feel the least bit sad about his accomplishments. He knows the difference between him and those two from the very start.

Xankruan, his Wife, hasn't entered the Void Breaking Realm yet, but she was already at the peak of the Soul Forging Realm. She was in the same situation as Dilo before, looking for a place to Breakthrough safely. Her Earth Laws also improved by leaps and bound. Earthquake Sub-Law had reached culmination, while Gravity went all the way up to the Advanced Stage. She even grasped the Earth Essence Sub-Law now, which was in the Intermediate Stage.

She even created quite an interesting Gravity Domain. This Domain would always act against the movement of her opponents. It was different from normal Gravity Law users, who had to control it according to what they wanted. Her Domain was automatic! Of course, she also changed Gravity sometimes to confuse the opponents even more. Her Domain, combined to her own changes on the Gravity, made it quite annoying to deal with.

Just like that, everyone was improving as well as they could in this Holy Land.
