The group of humanoid creatures constantly worshipped the stone pillar before them, bowing all this time, only getting up after a couple of minutes had passed before beginning to disperse.
Krune noticed that the language they used to speak was different from the one spoken on the God Realm. On top of that, their prayer seemed to be something that had been taught to them.
After all, before he became embedded into the stone pillar, he noticed a line of words inscribed on it in an unknown language. The contents were translated to what the indigenous people uttered in the God Realm's language.
It seemed to have been created just to piss him off. However, Krune didn't bother with that for the time being, nervous as he watched a part of his power flow out from his Wisp Core and seep into the stone pillar, causing the murals to faintly light up.
In fact, it seemed like he was stuck to the place as decoration, unable to exit. 'Damn it, this is the worst situation.'
Thankfully, the rock pillar was situated atop a hill, allowing him to see a wide area. Though, when he saw the scene that played before him, he was left at a loss for words.
After all, the indigenous people fought against cultivators that entered the tiny continent. There seemed to be a war going on between the two.
The most shocking fact of them was that both sides were evenly matched. As the cultivators were unable to lay down their Land Incarnation, they couldn't bring out their total power. Despite that, they were still able to use part of the power of their Spiritual Incarnation.
With that, they were still stronger than a regular Nascent God Realm cultivator. The indigenous people, on the other hand, didn't even have a cultivation base. Instead, they seemed to be relying on mysterious energy that flowed into their body to fight against the cultivators.
And, this energy was sourced from the tiny continent that was fed into them through the stone pillar.
The indigenous people resembled humans at first glance, but they lacked eyes, noses, or even ears. All they had was a mouth on their head and nothing else. On their body existed tattoos of various shapes, sizes and colors.
At first, all the tattoos were only black in color. That was what the indigenous people who came to pray had at the start.
But now, their tattoos were of a vibrant rainbow. All the colors forming a rainbow formed gradients in their tattoos, causing them to exhibit a colorful display.
One of the indigenous people with a rainbow tattoo suddenly shouted before condensing a Cloud Whale and threw it towards a cultivator, causing him to scream as the Frozen Blood in it dripped into his body.
It seemed that the indigenous person hadn't known of the powers and had mysteriously used this ability on instinct.
The moment he used this power, all the indigenous people shouted in joy, "Silly wisp, get fucked!"
Every time they shouted the prayer, the stone pillar shone with a gentle radiance, siphoning his strength, making Krune turn weaker and weaker. In response, the indigenous people became more and more reinforced, beginning to wield his abilities.
"How come the Galki became stronger?" One of the cultivators that fight against them shouted, retreating as the injuries cast on his body healed.
"They are able to wield strong abilities all of a sudden," another one of them said in alarm, having lost an arm from the exchange. He retreated soon after, summoning his power to gradually heal his injury, gazing at his severed arm that had turned into ice on the ground.
One of the indigenous people stepped on it, smashing it into pieces.
"Damn it. Their bodies are also growing in strength."
"So, this is the trap you prepared for me, Little Cally," Krune muttered calmly, seething with rage.
"Hehehe! Amazing, right?" Little Cally's voice resounded in response. "I had been preparing it all along to the extent I was unable to follow you into the Sub-Realm. But still, this would continue to suck in all your abilities until you're left with nothing, permanently."
"You'll lose all your abilities that way, hahaha!" Saying its piece, Little Cally vanished.
"You made a small error this time, Little Cally. I hadn't expected that from you." Krune laughed all of a sudden, causing Little Cally to return.
Even though it had said otherwise, it had remained beside him all along. After all, it had zero intentions to miss seeing him suffer under its machinations.
Therefore, the moment Krune didn't act in a fluster anymore, it was shocked. Rather, it noticed Krune's demeanor change, expressed even though he was in his Wisp Core, shocking Little Cally. 'Just what the heck did he experience in the Sub-Realm? His mental state is…really strained. I'm surprised he kept it together to behave as usual until now.'
"Aaaarrghhhhhh!" Suddenly, Krune bellowed to his utmost limit, riling up his Spiritual Incarnation to the limit as sparks of Tribulation Lightning flashed around him, wreaking havoc everywhere.
Calamity Laws!
Little Cally watched in shock as Krune activated its laws, beginning to wreck disasters everywhere.
Balance Laws!
Suddenly, all the damage that was spilling out condensed around the Wisp Core, flickering with Tribulation Lightning as they condensed to form a thin layer around the Wisp Core.
Suddenly, an unimaginable amount of mysterious essence was sucked in from the tiny continent, causing the rock pillar to shine with a resplendent radiance. The energy in it went into overdrive as Krune directed it towards a certain direction, shooting it forth like a cannon into the sky.
It soon flowed through the void, flashing around as it crashed through countless floating islands, shattering them into bits before slamming into Little Cally that had been hiding there.
"What…the heck?" It was now Little Cally's turn to become flabbergasted as it looked at Krune like it was staring at someone else.
On the tiny continent hovered the Wisp Core, having now condensed the ethereal form around itself, holding the Soul Needle. Poking in it was the rock pillar, now having been shrunk until it was tiny.
A multitude of energy was brimming forth from Krune, one that emitted blinding killing intent.
