"Go after him! He did something to steal all the treasures!" a man shouted, hurling an attack at the flying Cloud Whale.
Even though Little Cally had gone to prepare more traps, Krune hadn't avoided trouble yet. He had been a bit too high profile with his previous actions. So, he had garnered a lot of ire from the cultivators that had been fighting against the indigenous people before.
Based on what he figured out, it seemed that killing the indigenous people allowed one to deepen the comprehension of their respective laws. So, for those with a Spiritual Incarnation, it was a tremendously potent elixir.
After all, the deeper one's comprehension of the laws was, the stronger they would become. After all, the limit of a Spiritual Incarnation was the availability of Godly Energy and the depth of one's comprehension of the laws forming it.
So, even if all of them were at the Nascent God Realm, their strengths would continue to increase as their comprehension of the laws forming their respective Spiritual Incarnations deepened. So, killing the indigenous people, the Galki, was beneficial to their growth.
There had been a lot of them at the start. So, the cultivators only focused on fighting their opponents, not concerned with hindering their fellow cultivators. After all, there was enough for everyone.
On top of that, their enemies were pretty strong. So, without the other cultivators, they would be overwhelmed. However, Krune had suddenly taken action, sucking them all into his subspace.
It was no different from stealing the treasure from the hands of someone that had spent a decade nurturing it.
So, all the cultivators that were on the tiny continent chased after Krune in anger.
Normally, Krune would have been able to fly away easily thanks to the Cloud Whale's speed. But after he was killed, his Spiritual Incarnation destabilized to a certain extent. It prevented him from exhibiting his true strength.
At present, he was barely able to exert a tenth of his strength. And even that was stretching it. Due to that, he was unable to escape easily.
His cultivation base was only at the Ninth Stage of the God Core Realm, while his chasers were at the Ninth Stage of the Nascent God Realm. All of them had Spiritual Incarnations. Not to mention the fact that they had been roaming through the infant supercontinent to strengthen themselves further and further.
So, each of them was pretty powerful, causing Krune to sweat like crazy as he was alarmed.
Then again, he had one advantage that his chasers didn't. That was the Pseudo Wisps he had brought out on time. There were still twenty of them left, with the energy contained in them being at the Ninth Stage of the God Core Realm in quantity.
It would allow him to replenish his energy reserves twenty times.
If not for the fact that he didn't wish to use his trump card before everyone, Krune would have blasted forth a bolt of tribulation lightning. But he was aware that he would only be able to kill at most a couple of his chasers.
After all, they were chasing after him from numerous directions, spread far apart. Had they been huddled closer, it would have saved him a lot of time and effort.
"Ugh!" He grunted, feeling a powerful impact slam into the Cloud Whale, ripping off a part of its tail. He quickly expended some Godly Energy to heal the damage as he turned around, gazing at the man that had hurled an attack at him.
He raised his hand, directing it towards the man before unleashing a beam of light right on his face.
Neon Radiance King!
The attack caused his opponent to flinch as his eyeballs burst from the intensity of the light, causing him to stop as he whirred up his Spiritual Incarnation to heal himself. Similarly, Krune instantly attacked everyone that was chasing him.
Had it been just the Neon Radiance King, they wouldn't have been affected this much. However, Krune had fused a lot of laws into the beam of light, targeting the eyes of the targeted enemies.
This way, their vision would be impaired, leaving them with no other choice but to rely on their Divine Senses instead.
But at the Ninth Stage of the Nascent God Realm, one's Divine Sense only spanned a radius of nine kilometers. So, during the time they had stopped to regain their sight, Krune flew along faster, preparing another Neon Radiance King beam onto them.
This caused them to erect defenses over their eyes to guard against the attack. But in the time this happened, the Cloud Whale increased the distance between them, soon crossing the range of nine kilometers from the closest chaser.
While hindering their eyesight, he left the range of their Divine Sense, soon noticing a a misty area before him.
As the Soul Needle pointed in this direction, it was apparent that a treasure lay inside. With that, the Cloud Whale passed through the mist, entering the area.
Just in case the Cloud Whale was damaged, he didn't wish for the Pseudo Wisps to be wasted. So, he turned them into his wisp form, causing them to retract their ethereal forms, only leaving behind their Wisp Cores.
Krune pocketed them all soon after, muttering, 'I should have done this at the start. That way, I could have brought some more Godly Energy reserves with me.'
"Ugh!" The cultivator that had been attacked the first managed to heal his eyes, activating an ability as he focused on Krune, watching the Cloud Whale enter a misty area as he shouted, "That bastard has entered the Misty Plains. After him!"
"He should have a lot of secrets on him."
"Let's pry them open!"
As the man that had riled up everyone planned to also charge towards the Misty Plains, he suddenly shuddered, noticing a graceful figure land behind him.
Once he turned around, he was shocked, immediately kneeling on the ground as he paid his respects. "Junior greets the Monarch!"
"Explain the situation!" The one addressed as a Monarch was a lady seemingly in her teens, having a playful demeanor.
But in actuality, her playful expression caused the man to shudder as he hurriedly replied, "Someone stole all the Galki and escaped into the Misty Plains."
