Chapter 331: Long Time No See
Krune felt like he was being wronged.
'Since I could do it, then I just did. Is there a need to take it this seriously? Look around, can't you see Domains everywhere? It was just that I was... a little faster.'
Of course, he felt like they would complain even more if he told them that, so he decided to leave at that.
In the end, Krune simply decided to call it 'Burnnihilation Domain.' He uses both the Burning and Annihilation with it, so that would be an easy name to remember.
Still, the others looked weirdly at him, and that made him feel even more embarrassed.
"What?! I'm not good at names, okay? At least it has a name now!"
Krune then ignored everyone and looked at the situation on the battlefield.
Uer's side, obviously, crushed all those who tried to take his Jade Slip. With his three Sub-Laws domain, it was obvious that no one could even get close to him.
The other teams that also were successful in defending their jade Slips were Ricarte, Mohie Maran, Lutin, Amelia, and a few others. Still, there were two whose groups couldn't get the upper hand and lost their Jade Slips. There was also one of the Jade Slip Owner teams that decided to break through the encirclement and fled to one of the Multi-Dimensional Realms.
Ricarte came back after his own battle to talk with Krune, or better, Darten.
"Hey, Darten. How was it on your side?"
Krune nodded and answered.
"A few deaths, but the majority is still fine."
Krune then looked around and commented.
"Still, the big majority of the Cultivators and Demon beasts who were not in a Jade Slip Group did not act against us. Could it be that they were waiting for a chance to attack as well?"
Ricarte shook his head.
"No, it is just that those are all small groups or are acting solo. If they really got a Jade Slip by chance, they would become everyone's target. Also, there is definitely a lot who preferred to keep their forces intact instead of risk get injured at the very start. So don't let your guard down, you never know when they will come for your group's Jade Slip."
Krune nodded and then asked.
"What are you planning to do now? Do you want to enter the same Multi-Dimensional Realm as us?"
Ricarte shook his head.
"My group and I are going to look for our own opportunities. So we are entering a different realm than the others. Of course, with the number of unaffiliated cultivators and demon beasts, there will probably be quite a few entering the same one like us. Still, I hope that no one with a Jade Slip follows us."
Krune nodded, and then he pointed in a certain direction.
"We are going in that direction. When I tested those realms with my Wind Blades earlier, I noticed that the air environment was pretty much as this one."
Ricarte nodded.
"That's a good start. Anyway, you will probably have to traverse many different realms, and I doubt that they will allow you to come back like the first ones. So I wish you good luck. Probably, we will meet again further inside."
Krune also had the same feeling.
"I think so, too, this is probably not the last place where the Jade Slips can be used."
Ricarte then bid his farewell and left for one of the realms. From what Krune could feel with his Wind Blades, that one was probably a water type one.
Krune then looked at Fiarit and the others and asked.
"Well, are you guys planning to follow us, or are you going to try to find your own opportunities as well?"
Krune and his friends had decided before that if possible, they would separate. But if Fiarit and the others are determined to follow, then it would be hard to leave them behind. It is one thing if Krune can use the Tribulation Lightning Movement, but completely different for Feifei and the others.
Fiarit shrugged his shoulder and said.
"I'm not the type who needs to rely on the others, so my group and I are simply entering another realm. See ya!"
Before Krune could even say anything, Fiarit and his companions already rushed into a random direction. A few seconds later, they disappeared from sight. It was evident that they entered some other realm.
From the rest of the Divine Soul Realm geniuses, the majority made the same decision as Fiarit. Krune, or better, Darten and his group are very strong. It would be idiotic to follow them and have to fight for the resources later.
In the end, there was only one exception, Joiu Rak and his group.
"I prefer to bet that your Jade Slip will give me better opportunities."
Krune and his group looked at each other and then nodded.
"That's okay, but. Are you sure you want to follow us? It will be a competition of skills from now on, so I can't guarantee that we will share things with you."
Joiu Rak shrugged his shoulder and said.
"The same could be said for you. If we are faster, we will get the rewards. But my main reason is to keep a strong enough team together. It will make things safer for us."
Krune nodded and didn't try to stop him anymore.
"Darten, shall we go?"
Krune, or better, Darten, looked at him and said.
"Just wait a minute, another two guys are coming with us."
Joiu was surprised that there was still someone and then looked around. Sure enough, some moments later, he noticed two demon beasts moving in their direction.
One of then laughed out loud and tried to talk.
"Hey J-"
Immediately, the other one covered his mouth and stopped him from talking.
"It's Darten this time, idiot."
Only then did he realize that he almost said too much and nodded.
"Sorry, sorry."
"Hey, Darten, long time no see!"
Krune also laughed and went ahead to greet them.
"Indeed, it seems like you two brothers are still as close as ever."
Feifei also came forward and greeted them. Those two are none other than the Krakat Cougar Brothers, Tinnian and Rarol. They were part of Marshine's group together with Krune and Feifei back then when the Elemental Path opened. At that time, their group had relied on Rarol's instinct and Krune's enormous Divine Sense to avoid most of the problems.
Krune knew that Rarol's instinct was no joke, so he called those two brothers over. He didn't know if they would come since a Mohie Clan inheritance is known for its dangers, and those two were still in the Divine Soul Realm. Fortunately, Rarol answered straight away, and they came as well.
Tinnian looked at Krune and shrugged his shoulders.
"Rarol's instinct told him that we definitely shouldn't lose this opportunity. So, here we are!"
Krune nodded and then introduced the Cougar Brothers to the rest of the group.
Krune's objective in calling them here as pretty obvious. He wanted to rely on Rarol's instinct to guide them through the Dimensional Realm. Those two brothers never get separated, so he invited both at the same time.
It turns out that this is the perfect type of Dimensional Realm where Rarol's instinct would shine. Even Krune was surprised when he heard about this Multi-Dimensional Realm from Ricarte. His decision to enter the next realm was also based on Rarol's opinion, which he talked about through Divine Sense earlier.
Feifei then looked at the two and joked.
"Still, didn't you see that we were in the middle of a battle earlier? You could have helped us a little, you know?"
Rarol laughed once more and said.
"There was no need, I knew that you could deal with it. Don't forget that we saw what you were capable of back in the Elemental Path Realm, let alone now that your cultivations improved so much. Both my brother and I wouldn't have been of much help to start with. After all, our cultivation speed is ordinary. Haha!"
That was true, they don't have the Myriad Energies Technique, so their cultivation improved just a single realm each since the time the Elemental path closed. In fact, that can already be considered very good since they improved a stage of the Divine Soul Realm in just three years. It seems like the resources that they got in exchange for the Elemental Flowers was the main reason behind it.
Tinnian was at the 4th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm at that time, so now he is in the 5th. As for Rarol, he went from the 2nd to the 3rd Stage, just like Tiane and Ruik. Of course, their combat power was far behind what Ruik and Tiane had.
Krune then asked the brothers.
"Did you at least comprehend any Laws with those Elemental Flowers?"
Tinnian shook his head and then looked at Rarol.
"It is embarrassing to say this but, only my little brother here comprehended one. I still can't feel anything."
Rarol kept laughing as always and said.
"Who cares? Compared to Darten and Fina, what my Initial Stage of the Shadow Sub-Law can amount for?"
Although he said that, Krune was quite impressed with this outcome. Shadow is also the only Sub-Law of the Darkness Element that Krune comprehended so far. For Rarol to comprehend it instead of the other Elemental Laws is definitely a reason to be proud. Especially because he doesn't have the Elemental Meridians and is still in the 3rd Stage of the Divine Soul Realm.
Joiu noticed more and more groups leaving and then urged their group.
"Hey, if you keep talking for too long, all the treasures will be taken away."
Krune and the others nodded.
"Joiu is right, let's go."
