Is that a Wisp?

Boom!

Luvile condensed a lightning sphere, slamming it into the teenager. "Die! Die! Die!"

"Hahaha!" The teenager laughed in response, unaffected as he punched forth, sending Luvile flying away.

Roar!

Suddenly, a majestic beast appeared in the sky, seemingly capable of overturning heaven and earth. It then vanished, entering the teenager's body. It was the clone that he had released before to keep the Gods distracted, allowing him to kill Krune without any interruption.

He was a God from the Mong Realm, having reached the pinnacle in all three cultivation paths. So, when he hid himself using his abilities, none of the Gods were able to sense him. But despite that, he was aware that the moment he took action, they would sense him and hinder him.

That's why he had split a part of his body to act as a diversion. Now that he had achieved his purpose, he retracted his dispersed power, noticing six Gods appearing before him, slamming attacks onto him right after.

He was bombarded with attacks, for a moment being pressured. 'I see. They have reached the peak of body cultivation too. Only their soul cultivation is limited.'

"Aunt… I feel odd all of a sudden," Kulla muttered as she lost all strength, gazing at the sphere of flames that Krune's death had resulted in, slumping into Sterlena's arms as she returned to her Wisp form.

"I feel…weird…and weak…" she said as her ethereal form began to dissipate.

Sterlena's eyes widened, recalling the trauma from the past where all True Spirits died, noticing a mysterious grey radiance formulate within Kulla's Wisp Core, gradually disintegrating her.

"Kulla… Kulla!" she shouted in alarm, seeping her Mental Energy into Kulla's Wisp Core, noticing the mysterious grey energy destroying all traces of her existence. Unfortunately, her Mental Energy was akin to a droplet before a vast ocean.

"Not this… not again!" Sterlena teared up, having exhausted all her means, watching Kulla's figure completely vanish. And in the same fashion, Kuttul and every other wisp were the same.

All of Krune's Land Incarnations had been destroyed. This also meant that no True Spirit would be born after this, as his Land Incarnation was their only means of birth.

"Uncle was talking about finally having a home…" Kuttul muttered as he died.

Bam!

Feifei collapsed to the ground, reeling from shock as she noticed the clone of Krune stationed next to her die instantly, signaling that he had indeed died.

"That's not… true… right? Krune?" she muttered in disbelief, trying to locate Krune using her laws, turning up with zero leads.

Even in the locations where he had left his Land Incarnation, Feifei observed that nothing existed there anymore as realization finally hit her.

Krune… was dead!

"Ahh…" Feifei gritted her teeth, biting her lips as her eyes lit up, sensing Krune's subspace arrive within her soul. And immediately after, a dense stream of lightning surrounded her, including a variety of colored radiances, blocking any ability from affecting her.

…

"The Mist Sect has arrived. Feifei, remain here with Solare," Krune said, placing her in the deepest part of the Mountain Sect Sub-Realm where they had laid down countless layers of formations, expending a lot of their precious top-quality resources.

It was meant to exclusively protect her and Solare.

As to why Solare had to be protected, it was obvious. After all, once he finished fusing with the God Seat, he would become a God. But until then, he was pretty vulnerable. Any injuries he sustained might cripple his chances of reaching the God Realm in cultivation.

And similarly, if he used any abilities, his fusion would be delayed. Every delay would increase the time period for fusion by at least a century or two. They didn't want to waste so much time.

After all, the Mountain Sect needed a God to protect their vast resources and supercontinent.

As for Feifei, she was given the highest priority in the Mountain Sect. After all, if one had to list her contributions, they were endless.

She created Spiritual Marks, upgraded Spiritual Incarnations, improved the godly abilities of cultivators, conceptualized formations, new technologies, and so on. She was practically the brains of the Mountain Sect that ensured everything they possessed was of the top-most quality.

But that wasn't all. There was another core reason that she was treated with such value. And that was due to a certain treasure that she obtained in the First Layer of the Sub-Realm, right after Krune obtained his Soul Needle.

Soul Lamp!

It was similar to the Soul Needle in that it had become part of Feifei's soul. And its function was to store the souls of others, including the core fragments of one's Spiritual Incarnation.

Meaning, this was a revival device. Hence, it meant that as long as Feifei was alive, even if people were killed, they could be revived through it.

So, the souls of every immortal part of the Mountain Sect were stored in the Soul Lamp. So, as long as Feifei was alive, the Mountain Sect wouldn't ever die. This was another reason she was treated with the utmost value.

This was also why the Mist Sect was looking for her. With her abilities, their sect would also grow a lot, not to mention obtain all the abilities and cultivation techniques she had created. Also, they would obtain the revival cores of every single Mountain Sect immortal.

It would basically mean that by obtaining Feifei, they would have the power to make the Mountain Sect submit to them.

But, Krune wasn't satisfied even with their formations, contacting Luvile.

"Yeah, if Feifei is killed, it'll be easy to pick off the rest of you. In a battle, we indeed cannot predict what might happen." Saying that, Luvile invited all the Gods to lay down a part of their Land Incarnation around Feifei. This way, they would constantly be proving her protection even if they were engaged somewhere.

After all, they had left a part of their powers to protect her.

"With this, I can rest assured." Krune sighed in relief, only heading out to prepare for war after that.

With Feifei, their sect's core remaining safe, they would eventually revive even if they were killed in the war.
