Is that a Wisp?

"Big brother, we're ready," the youngest said as he finished setting up a formation. Immediately, he poured out hundreds of Rank 5 Blood Pills that were sucked in by the formation.

A dense crimson mist was immediately released as it spread throughout the formation, with the three bald immortals beginning to absorb it slowly. They were beginning preparations for their breakthrough.

As resources were scarce in the Mong Realm, they had to make do with the few that remained. Thankfully, it wasn't as if resources were rare, though. They just had to plunder them from other realms and convert them to be suitable for the Mong Realm's power mechanic.

In fact, there were some organizations dedicated to this. They had a massive storage facility for everything.

The three bald immortals, though lone immortals, wielded considerable power. Having killed countless immortals of the Mong Realm, they had pillaged a lot of Blood Pills. Using that, they exchanged it for a lot of resources.

The oldest among the trio took out the resources, forming a large pile before using his Divine Sense to arrange them accordingly to the Spiritual Incarnations of each.

It was like a triangle, with each of them forming its three vertices. It could very well be said that they were three parts of a puzzle.

And hence, they were planning to break through as a group, just like what they had done to become immortals. It was their teamwork that allowed them to reach the current height.

They didn't begin a breakthrough immediately, though. They weren't broken characters like Krune. Even though they were strong even among the Mong Realm's standards, they needed time to prepare for their eventual breakthrough.

The main problem was the fact that there was barely any Godly Energy in the Mong Realm. Hence, they didn't have the necessary energy for a breakthrough.

The problem here arose with the fact that the moment their tribulation began, their formation would be destroyed. That meant they would lose the energy they accumulated using Blood Pills.

Hence, they had to do some preparations.

This was why they selected a secluded island to undergo a breakthrough. There was nothing much on this island. On that note, the Mong Realm didn't even have any Danger Zones. Danger Zones, though dangerous, were filled with resources.

So, such places had long since been excavated dry by the Mong Realm immortals.

Once the formation had been erected, the second brother took out a formation plate that they had spent a fortune purchasing. Slowly, he unleashed his Heavenly Incarnation, fusing it into the formation plate, subtly changing the formation.

Gradually, the Godly Energy within continued to increase as soon after, the formation was fully fused into the Heavenly Incarnation.

At the same time, the oldest and youngest also unleashed their Heavenly Incarnation, causing the domain to emanate a sonorous fluctuation before the three fused into one. This was their cultivation technique's advantage.

All three Heavenly Incarnations fused into one as the formation vanished. But now, the produced Godly Energy didn't escape the Heavenly Incarnation.

They had created a stable base that probably wouldn't be destroyed even with the tribulations.

The Heavenly Incarnation slowly spread out, completely changing the island and the surrounding waters.

The trio continued to pour out Blood Pills that were sucked by the formation, which converted them into Godly Energy. Slowly, the materials the older brother arranged began to suck in the Godly Energy, becoming vitalized.

As they were completing their preparations, the old brother was suddenly alarmed, noticing the figure of Krune hovering right before the fused Heavenly Incarnation.

"Y-You…" He was alarmed, wondering if Krune had arrived to disrupt their breakthrough. 'Is this why he ran away earlier?'

"You don't have to worry." Krune smiled in response. "This is the first time I'm seeing three people breakthrough as one. I'm curious to see how it goes."

"You don't have to worry, though. I have no intentions of disrupting your breakthrough. Rather, I'll fight you seriously after you reach the God Trial Realm." Krune smiled casually, releasing his God Trial Realm aura before supressing it to the Semi-God Realm.

"So, you were suppressing your strength," the oldest muttered.

"Yeah, my seal was about to be undone earlier. So, I had to run away and fix it." Krune said in response. "But if you were to reach the God Trial Realm, it'll be easier for me to fight you."

Krune then waved his hand, sending in a storage ring through the Heavenly Incarnation.

The older brother caught it, probing through it when his face paled, "Blood Pills… so many Blood Pills!"

'Even though they are Rank 4 Blood Pills and below, the quantity is fearsome.' He then gazed at Krune's smiling face and asked, "What are you planning?"

"Well, I need a good whetstone to fight against," Krune replied. "And, the abilities of you three are by far the most bizarre that I have come across. So, think of it as an investment for my benefit."

"You'll die, though." The older brother snorted.

"I'll be happy if that were the case." Krune smiled, "Then again, none that boasted of such words had ever managed to kill me, though."

The older brother's expression suddenly paled as he recalled a certain fact. While fighting against them, Krune hadn't even unleashed his Land Incarnation.

Even after sealing his strength, he was also… holding back?

"I'll kill you once our breakthrough finishes." The older brother spat out.

"That's a great expression you have there." Krune smiled. "If you want more Blood Pills, you can just say so."

What Krune took out was just a tenth of the Blood Pills he had stolen. The reason he was sponsoring the trio of bald immortals wasn't out of his goodwill or anything of the sort.

He was observing them.

After all, Krune was rather interested in their cultivation technique, where they were able to borrow the power of each other. It might not seem like much, but he had experienced the same once.

Realm of Suffering!

There, he borrowed the strength of the Yin Dragon to create the County Arms, developing a new power structure from scratch.

Eventually, he even created a divine beast out of his Cloud Whale, causing the people there to pray to it and obtain the power of the Cloud Whale on their own, becoming part of the Police Force.

Krune had been interested in this power mechanic. But unfortunately for him, he wasn't able to replicate it in the God Realm.
