"That was satisfying!" Krune licked his lips, burping once, having clearly eaten more than what he was able to store in his stomach.
It had been a long time since he had properly cooked, so he got carried away with it.
"How long are you going to laze around?" Sterlena asked after some time.
"Can't I?" Krune replied, yawning once.
"We have work to do?" she replied.
"What work?" Krune raised a brow in curiosity.
"Steal some treasures, of course," Sterlena smirked as she responded.
"Right, I forgot about that." Sighing, Krune got up, turning brisk immediately. "Well, let's get going, you exemplary big sister."
"What's up with that disgusting title?" Sterlena rubbed her arms, seeing goosebumps form on them, grunting in response.
"It has a nice ring to it," Krune told her, making a traditional bow, going an extra mile as he buried his head into the ground. "I greet her majesty. My bow is my level of respect."
Rolling her eyes in response, Sterlena walked away, heading deeper into the infant supercontinent. "While we wasted time, the others have gone in deeper."
"You've only used one of them. What about the remaining two?" Krune asked.
"Not now," she told him. "I'll save them up for the time being. If I obtain something better, I'll use it for that."
"Fair enough." Krune accompanied her, soon breaking into a sprint as their figures turned into a blur and vanished. Three seconds after they vanished, a sonic boom resounded in their initial spots, alerting the cultivator that had arrived there to ambush a Law Deity.
The shockwave alerted it as it focused on him, chasing after him. Shedding tears at the injustice, the cultivator continued to run away.
Within the subspace, a clone gazed at the God Trial Realm Blank Law Core, pointing a finger at it before activating his Spiritual Mark.
Spiritual Mark—Tribulation Lightning!
The tribulation lightning slammed into the Blank Law Core that lit up immediately in response. It glowed blue as mystical energy permeated it.
Upon seeing that it was the Tribulation Law, the Blank Law Core didn't immediately turn into that, instead checking to ensure that this was an ability possessed by someone and not the tribulation lightning that had arrived when someone faced a tribulation.
No sentient being should be able to wield the power of tribulation lightning. This was the law of the heavens. So, this manner was imposed to prevent people from taking advantage of Blank Law Cores to cause lightning during a cultivator's tribulation to fall onto it and turn it into the Tribulation Law.
There was once someone that had done that, the first of his kind. He later became the God of Tribulation Lightning—Luvile!
After that, the God Realm forbade such action, imposing a restriction upon tribulation lightning to prevent anyone from comprehending it by using a Blank Law Core.
Though, now that this tribulation lightning originated from Krune, that restriction imposed by the God Realm didn't work, turning it into a Tribulation Law Deity Core.
Smiling, the clone began to absorb it as every clone closed its eyes instantly, feeling a mystical power well up from deep within each.
After all, they were comprehending the Tribulation Law, and at a rapid pace at that.
While running, Krune suddenly closed his eyes, stopping in place. Surprised at his abrupt action, Sterlena nudged his shoulder when she noticed her hair standing straight like she got electrocuted.
'Tribulation lightning?' She was absolutely shocked before laughing aloud. "As expected of my brother!"
She snapped her finger as a castle formed around them immediately, instantly covered in countless arrays and restrictions, preventing anyone from prying within.
Now, Krune could focus on his comprehension without worries. Slowly, as his comprehension continued to increase, the air around him turned volatile, beginning to spark from time to time.
He didn't even use his Spiritual Mark, but his body itself was able to naturally harness this power. And no, he wasn't emitting it from his body but was condensing it from his surroundings.
'How is he doing this?' Sterlena was surprised as she observed that the Law of Gravity around Krune had turned weak all of a sudden as his body began to float in the air. And in response, the lighting flickers increased in intensity.
Godly Fusion… God Foundation…!
God Core… Nascent God…!
Semi-God Realm… God Trial Realm!
His comprehension of the Tribulation Law finally reached such a height as Krune opened his eyes when lightning flickered across it, causing him to flinch for a moment before he regained his bearings.
He then extended his hand, revealing his palm as lightning flickered across it. Upon seeing the sparks, he nodded in understanding. "I see. This is just inferior lightning, not truly the Tribulation Law."
It was just for the lightning that he was condensing out of nothing, smiling in response. "But, I never thought it would work here as well."
"Star Imperial Meister?" Sterlena asked in surprise. "The same concept works here as well?"
"It more or less works that way." Krune nodded as he continued, "I'm just harnessing the power of nature. That's the power of a Star Imperial Meister."
"It seems you'll never tire out during fights any longer." Sterlena smiled. "You enemies must either have a death wish, or they must swing that way."
"What way?" Krune stared at her, acting ignorant.
"The muscat way," Sterlena replied in response.
"Muscat…" Krune retorted. "Isn't it masochi…"
"Muscat…" she said before beginning to move. "If you're done, let's get going."
"Sis, do you want the Divine Sense Law?" Krune smiled gleefully, sporting the expression of an unscrupulous merchant as he gazed at her. "I can trade it to you for a discount."
"Divine…Sense Law?" Sterlena was surprised. "First, the Tribulation Law, and now the Divine Sense Law. You have some precious laws in your collection."
She then waved her hand as she said, "It's useless. I won't compete you on this path. I don't think anyone possesses this law. So, gain complete authority in this first. If I also comprehend it, it'll only slow your scope of gaining ownership in this law."
"But, I didn't plan on making this my main law," Krune frowned as he replied.
"Then make it," Sterlena said in all seriousness. "A cultivator's arms, legs, and even half the brain is probably made up of Divine Sense. The one that controls this law controls the Four Realms."
"As a wisp, you're the perfect fit for this task."
