Hobbek and Rannia fell on the ground, but they were not dead. At the same time, Feifei, Krune, and Wamie Zark felt the presence of the Heavenly Fragments that were now without any protection. Krune and Feifei were already expecting for it, but Wamie Zark was different. She still had her 'coating,' so for her to feel its presence, it means that the Core or Divine Soul where the Fragments were present before had been destroyed!
"Two Heavenly Fragments... how?"
Her protector, Gilia Mink, looked at Wamie. She was the one which came together with Wamie from the Luvile Universe.
"What is it?"
Wamie Sighed.
"Just now, two Heavenly Fragments appeared. It is too hard to imagine that two 'coating' disappeared at the same time, which means that two Heavenly Fragment Owners probably died."
Gilia was taken aback.
"Wait, you already felt the presence of a Heavenly Fragment appearing and disappearing right after. Doesn't that mean that three Heavenly Fragment Owners are already finished? If they were all dealt by the same cultivator or demon beast, we would have almost no power to fight back."
Wamie nodded.
"I know, but there is nothing we can do at the moment. I can feel that those two Heavenly Fragments are way too far. We would never arrive in time to see what happened. All we can do is send someone to investigate."
Gilia suggested.
"Shouldn't we go too? In case they were not killed by another Heavenly Fragment owner, we might be wasting time here. There is always such a chance, right?"
Wamie Zark pondered a bit and then nodded.
"Alright, in case I stop feeling their presence, we can come back and continue to cultivate."
The two girls then called their own companions and left straight away.
Back in the Jionin City, Krune was looking at Hobbek and Rannia, who seemed to be doing their best to just keep standing.
"How did you do that? We made sure to verify both weapons. There was definitely nothing inside that should allow you to control them."
Krune snorted.
"That is a secret. Why should I tell you that?"
Feifei also came forward and looked at the Heavenly Fragment floating on the arena.
"Shall we try it?"
Krune nodded.
"Yes, that is the only way to get rid of all these problems at once."
Outside, Dilo and the others sighed in relief when they saw that Krune and Feifei emerged victoriously. Laex, especially, was as amazed as the enemies' Void Breaking Realms. He, too, knows very well what kind of monster someone has to be to use Space Laws in the Divine Soul Realm. Especially since Krune doesn't have a Space Divine Soul to start with.
He looked at the other group and then snorted. It was evident that the Void Breaking Realm guys on the other side were preparing to break through the arena's protection to rescue Hobbek and Rannia.
Laex's thoughts were right. The payment agreed with Rannia and Hobbek were to be made once they return to the Luvile Universe with the Heavenly Fragments. They accepted that deal because they knew about that couple's fusion ability. In their eyes, there was no way they would lose to the other Heavenly Fragment Owners as long as they were careful. But who could have thought that Krune could control his Purple Flame Weapons even though there should be nothing inside allowing it?
Laex didn't move a single finger, though.
'Idiots. If every young master in danger could be saved like that, what would be the meaning of the arena protection formation?'
Sure enough, when those three attacked the arena Protection Formation, it didn't even tremble. Instead, some kind of reaction happened, which send a powerful spiritual energy attack directly at their souls.
"Arrrrgh!"
The three of them fell down while holding their heads in pain. Although it wouldn't leave any lasting effect, that was enough for them to understand that it would be impossible to break through with their power.
While in the middle of pain, they couldn't help but lament for the payment that they hadn't received yet.
Back inside of the Protection formation, Hobbek and Rannia looked at Krune and Feifei with a shocked expression. That's because they seemed to be preparing to attack it instead of getting the Heavenly Fragments for themselves!
Now that Krune had enough time, he gathered his Shields back and prepared to use his most potent attack, the Tribulation Cannon. Feifei also helped him and poured as much Spiritual and Elemental Source Energy inside as possible. The power of the Tribulation Lightning continued to increase inside the dome of Shields.
Back in the Mohie Zarks' Inheritance, Krune had to stop charging Tribulation Lightning because his old Shields couldn't hold the amount of Energy Inside. But this time, his new Kaleu Tribulation Steel Shields could hold his max power and even more!
Krune aimed at one of the Heavenly Fragments and released the attack.
BOOM!
An enormous shockwave ravaged the insides of the arena. Hobbek and Rannia, who were now only in the Qi Condensation Realm, were obviously sent flying against the arena protection formation. They didn't have the power to resist such a thing anymore.
Laex, who was outside looking at everything, felt a chill on his back. Even though that attack took a long time to charge and was impracticable in battle, he had to admit that even he would not dare to block it at his current level. For Krune to make him feel like that, one can only imagine how many times stronger than an average Divine Soul Realm attack it was.
Sometime later, the energy released inside the Arena Protection formation settled down. However, Krune and Feifei could still feel the presence of the Heavenly Fragment. When the vision of them became clear again, Krune and Feifei couldn't help but sigh.
Let alone destroy the Heavenly Fragments. It looked like Krune didn't even attack to start with.
"That was the best I could do. It definitely can't be destroyed."
Feifei pondered a bit and asked.
"What if we throw them inside of a Spatial Fissure? Even if they are not destroyed by the Spatial Laws, even a God wouldn't know in which Universe they will fall into. Isn't that the same, then?"
Krune looked at Feifei, and his eyes lit up! That was indeed a very good idea. That was also the reason why Krune didn't kill Hobbek and Rannia, he wanted them to see what they were doing to the Heavenly Fragments. He would let them go, and after that, they would naturally go back to the Luvile Universe and report it. From that point onwards, the Heavenly Fragment Fights would become pointless.
Krune then tried to open a fissure in space, but for some reason, he failed in doing it.
"Most likely, there is some kind of protection in the arena that prevents someone from opening Spatial Gates. Let deactivate it."
Krune and Feifei then touched the pillar on both sides. The protection Formation then disappeared, leaving only the concealment formation active. Laex immediately appeared beside Krune and Feifei while the other Void Breaking Realm guys did the same with Rannia and Hobbek. Even though they are still feeling the backlash from the previous attack, they got enough time to recover a little.
Krune ignored them since Laex was still there. He again tried to open a Fissure in Space, and sure enough, he succeeded this time. Krune and Feifei then grabbed the Heavenly Fragments and immediately threw it inside.
Hobbek saw that and asked someone beside him.
"Is that Spatial Gate connected somewhere?"
The Void Breaking Realm guy beside him shook his head.
"No. That thing was not made to connect some points. Inside it, there are only spatial storms. If those Heavenly Fragments don't get destroyed in the process, they will most likely be thrown somewhere else, definitely not in the Dalin Universe."
Hobbek and Rannia finally understood why Krune and Feifei left them alive. They wanted to end the Heavenly Fragment fight once for all. The chances of finding both fragments once again were so small that it wasn't worth even mentioning. The Sacred Lands would never spend their time trying it either.
The Spatial Fissure then closed, and the Yin Yang Heavenly Fragments were gone... not! Right after the fissure closed, both Heavenly Fragments appeared beside Krune and Feifei out of nowhere!
"The hell?!"
Krune looked at Laex and Feifei, but they, too, were surprised by this outcome. Krune didn't give up and opened another Spatial Fissure.
But a few seconds after the fissure closed, the Heavenly Fragments appeared by their side once more.
Seeing that made Krune feel like crying.
"Why don't you just go away?!"
Laex looked at Krune. Even though he thought that Krune and Feifei should use those Heavenly Fragments themselves, he understood what he was trying to do.
"Sigh... give me a second, I will ask my uncle."
Krune and Feifei were surprised. Laex's uncle was obviously another Divine Beast, and probably someone powerful.
Laex brought out his communicator and made a call. A few seconds later, the image of a Fire Dragon taking a bath in a poll of lava appeared on the other side of the screen.
"What is it? Can't you see that I'm resting?"
Although Krune and Feifei were shocked by that scene, Laex acted as if nothing strange was happening.
"Hi, uncle. It's just a question. Have you ever heard about someone trying to get rid of Heavenly Fragments by throwing them inside a Spatial Fissure?"
The Fire Dragon was surprised with such a question, but he soon came back to normal.
"Well, there had been some idiots who tried to do that before so that their enemies at least wouldn't get it. But an ownerless Heavenly Fragment can only exist in a space where another Heavenly Fragment is present. If you throw it inside a Spatial Fissure, it will reappear near the closest Heavenly Fragment. As to why it happens, I have no idea."
"Is that all?"
Laex pondered a bit and then asked.
"Is there a way to destroy it?"
His uncle nodded.
"Sure, you need to attack it with enough power. Just go to the Higher Realms and ask some of its strongest existences to do that for you. Hahahaha!"
Laex's mouth twitched.
"Forget it, thanks."
Laex finished the call and looked at Krune and Feifei while shrugging his shoulders.
