Is that a Wisp?

"Shoot them!" The fat man roared as the group of cultivators around him pushed out a massive cannon and accurately aimed at the flashing shadows on the ground before unleashing an attack.

The cannon spanned a length of twenty meters, with its mouth spanning a circle with a radius of three meters. Upon the fat man's shout, the cannon glowed with countless rays of light before a ball of energy was sent flying out.

The ball contained countless laws in it, swirling around in a chaotic mess.

At that instant, Krune and Sterlena realized that the purpose of this ball was to destroy their Spiritual Incarnations. Even if it failed to destroy them, it would very well damage their Spiritual Incarnations by a significant sum.

With that, they would be weakened and would fall prey to future attacks.

"Hmph!" Krune faced his hand behind, sending out an icicle against the ball, intending to slam it away. However, instead of bulldozing through the icicle, the ball actually evaded the attack, as if it was sentient.

Then, it swerved around in the air before speeding towards them, absorbing the Godly Energy in the air to fuel its actions.

"This is bad! It's too fast!" Sterlena said before she communicated with Krune. "Let's use the Calamity Laws. I don't wish to display any of our methods at this point. That'll only inconvenience us in the future."

"Alright." Krune nodded in response. Upon her signal, the both of them activated their Calamity Laws in full swing before Sterlena infused it into his Calamity Laws that he had fused into his Neon Radiance King.

The unleashed beam landed on the ball without trouble since it was too fast to evade. For a moment, the ball continued to fly towards them. But suddenly, it lost that sentient nature it possessed when Sterlena unleashed her Divine Sense, subtly using the Balance Laws to crane the ball around her, infuse some of her power into it before hurling it back onto the ship.

Due to her power, the ball began to absorb Godly Energy en masse while flying, increasing in size as its power became imposing.

"Damn it! Raise the shields!" the fat man bellowed as the inscriptions on the hull of the ship shone, brightening up as the surrounding Godly Energy was absorbed.

And right at this moment, the ball, one that had turned into a massive hill-sized boulder, slammed into the ship, causing a deafening boom when it spurted out like lava, covering most of the ship.

The ship's protective barrier held up under the attack, but the force of the impact still caused it to tilt to one side, alarmingly close to the ground.

Followed by a flicker of light, a gust of Godly Energy was unleashed to push away the lava-like substance covering the ship when the fat man frowned. "That was pretty dangerous. As I had thought, those two are also pretty dangerous."

As he talked, his body coincidentally arrived at the other side of the deck due to slipping a little from the tilt. Ironically, that was the straw that broke the camel's back, causing the ship to crash over to the other side.

In anger, he bellowed, "Shoot all of the cannons! The Principality of Precipice had just finished condensing. The one that enters the first will gain a lot of advantage. They definitely shouldn't be the ones to enter it first!"

Right as he shouted, almost a dozen cannons were activated as the cannonballs were launched into the air. Like homing missiles, they flew towards the sprinting duo, tracking them while accelerating in the air.

"Damn it!" Krune grunted. He was already running at his top speed, having used all his power. As for Sterlena, even though her physique was inferior, it was only a little. After all, her physique grew powerful once she activated all the laws that passively built up her strength.

Plus, she was also using a couple of abilities to accelerate. Krune was the same. But despite everything, they still failed to evade the pursuit of their foes.

"How are they tracking us at this speed?" Krune was flabbergasted, unable to understand just how this was possible, "Are they using some mysterious ability or treasure?"

"No…" Sterlena replied, frowning as her face paled a little. "I think I know what it is."

"What is it? Tell me." Krune urged her.

"Authority!" Sterlena said solemnly as her face darkened.

"Authority? What the hell is that?" Krune asked, irritated.

"Shut up for a second! Let me think!" She snapped back, turning around to see the cannonballs closing in on them.

"Let's first hurry over!" Shouting, she thought of something, pointing at the river nearby.

Understanding her decision, Krune followed her into the river, summoning his Cloud Whale before using Moving Ripple at full strength to throttle forward.

On the other hand, Sterlena used her abilities to layer a formation over the Cloud Whale, allowing it to travel faster, actually making them travel at a speed faster than while on land.

After all, there was also Moving Ripple in effect now. As it was an ability of his physique, it was as powerful as his strengthened physique. Layering atop it the laws that were beneficial to the physique by Sterlena, the explosive speed they attained was stellar, throwing off the cannonballs as they sped off.

"The threat is still there," Krune shouted in alarm, noticing the cannonballs slowly beginning to catch up to them once again. "How are they still accelerating?"

"Don't mind that. We're approaching the waterfall." Sterlena shouted in response before saying, "When I give the signal, use all your freezing power to freeze the entire water. That way, it'll buy us enough time to enter the Principality of Precipice."

"Alright!" Krune nodded as his hearth thumped, watching the Cloud Whale pass over the edge of the river before flying down the falls, soon plunging into the water below.

Soon, it went deeper when Sterlena shouted, "Now!"

"Argh!" Krune grunted as the both of them used all the ability they could muster from the Law of Ice and began to freeze the water around them.

As the Cloud Whale proceeded deeper, starting from its tail, a layer of bluish-white formed that spread around, freezing all the water.

A gigantic iceberg formed in the water, acting as their layer of defense as a dozen cannonballs slammed into it. For a moment, there wasn't any reaction. But an instant later, a massive shockwave erupted as the laws of the place were in disarray, pulsing out as a ripple that slammed into the Cloud Whale, destroying it.
