Is that a Wisp?

"What the…?"

"The Emperors…"

"They were killed?"

Everyone from the three continents stared with widened eyes as they watched the corpses of the three Emperors be burned to cinders by Sterlena.

They were unable to accept the fact that the Emperors, the pillars of their continents, the symbol of absolute power, could be defeated so easily.

It was not to mention that all the Primal Gods on the Mountain Sect's side were still perfectly fine. So, it was a despairing situation for those from the three continents, causing their morale to plummet quickly enough.

As for the cause, Krune and Sterlena, they had their eyes closed, accepting the rewards from the Sub-Realm.

At the start, Krune had enveloped himself and Sterlena with a layer of Mental Energy, preventing any detection methods from failing to sense them. After that, the both of them turned to their demon beast forms, retracting their ethereal forms until only their cores remained.

After that, the Cloud Whale launched them like a cannonball towards the location of the three Emperors. Once they arrived in the midst of the three Emperors, Krune poured in all his power into his Cloud Whales, condensing three of them as he infused the power of almost thirty clones, causing each to activate their Spiritual Marks.

The three Cloud Whales were on the verge of exploding from the built-up internal pressure as the tribulation lightning flared up in response, unwilling to stay dormant and be compressed easily.

Krune then unleashed the Lightning Needles, aiming one per each Emperor, while Sterlena destroyed their Spiritual Incarnations, preventing them from defending themselves.

As they were already in a fluster due to their cultivation dropping steadily, they were unable to notice the attack, falling victim immediately.

They didn't destroy the revival means of the opponents, for that was a stupid move. In the future, these three Emperors would fight the Mist Sect and other enemies on behalf of the Mountain Sect.

That was why none of the Mountain Sect members targeted the revival means of the cultivators from the three continents. Upon seeing their intentions, those from the three continents also refrained from using the same.

Both were aware that they could use the rewards from the Sub-Realm to grow stronger. So, the more the enemies that were there to kill, the faster they could reap the rewards.

As the war had gone on for two centuries, all cultivators were aware of what needed to be done to reap the most rewards.

However, none dared to imagine that Krune and Sterlena had killed the three Emperors.

"Ugh!" As he continued to wait, the rewards from the Sub-Realm arrived, causing him to grunt in response as his cultivation began to increase at alarming speeds. Moreover, they were stable increases.

In short, it was like he was at that cultivation stage for a long enough time already, having fully consolidated his powers.

It seemed that even though they had been nerfed, the deaths of the Emperors were rewarded rather handsomely.

Third Stage of the Semi-God Realm… Fourth Stage … Ninth Stage of the Semi-God Realm…

Eventually, Krune could feel his cultivation continuing to swell up as he immediately brought out a clone, opening the entrance to the subspace as both he and Sterlena entered it.

The subspace arrived within a clone that was in the Mountain Sect Sub-Realm as the entrance opened.

After exiting, Krune and Sterlena rushed towards the Cultivation Lotus as the sky began to be filled with thunder clouds.

"Same as before?" Krune asked.

"Indeed, we'll be able to manage the danger somehow," Sterlena said in response. "Have you prepared the Blank Law Core?"

"Yes, it's ready," Krune said, causing one of the clones to unleash tribulation lightning into a Blank Law Core, turning it into a Tribulation Lightning Law Core.

"Wait, what are you doing?" Just as Sterlena landed atop the Cultivation Lotus, she was startled to see Krune summoning his Cloud Whale before pouring drops—which he had been collecting from the Reverse Waterfall region in the infant supercontinent.

Moreover, Krune became bold, directly planting the entirety of Little Krune into it.

"What's up with that? Why are you risking it?" Sterlena grabbed hold of his hand, asking in alarm.

"No, I feel like this might help me upgrade myself," Krune replied. "My powers are scattered too much. So, I'm trying to use the tribulations to fuse and refine them. That'll make them stronger."

"But if you fail, then you'll lose both the Cloud Whale and Little Krune," Sterlena retorted.

"I won't fail," Krune said in response, taking out large chunks of metal that possessed the Divine Sense Law. "I have been preparing them just for this case. With these, I have a solid shot at making this possible."

Of course, he didn't stop at that, taking out a Blank Law Core that he stuffed into the Cloud Whale. Even at its maximum size of 25 meters, it was stuffed to the brim with drops and items infused with the Divine Sense Law.

Boom!

Thunder resounded as lightning began to spark from the thunderclouds. However, they didn't strike immediately as hundreds of lightning dragons began to swim across the thunder cloud.

Slowly, the lightning dragons began to fuse into one another as it seemed like the entirety of the tribulation's power was being condensed to unleash just one attack now.

"Oh shit, it seems we've angered the heavens now." Sterlena's face paled, rethinking her strategy.

She then turned around, noticing that Krune had returned to his Wisp Form already.

"Aren't we stronger in our demon beast forms?" Krune grinned, displaying a hint of excitement at the scene.

"I forgot you've been troubled by Little Cally throughout your life as well." Sterlena sighed before laughing jovially. "Well, screw it! The lightning this time is as slow as a turtle anyway. I can defend it easily."

Somehow, her words seemed to have offended the heavens as the lightning dragons fused to become a gigantic turtle instead, one that slowly moved its head to glare at the two before opening its mouth.

And from there, it unleashed a beam of tribulation energy, possessing enough power to annihilate any God Trial Realm cultivator.

Boom!
