Is that a Wisp?

Time seemed to slow down for a moment as Turmul was still in the process of negating all the devastating attacks launched at him.

Krune's eyes widened as he watched Zule's hand pierce through his body and head straight for his Wisp Core. Considering his strength, not to mention the existence of Little Krune, if he wished to, he could have dodged it.

However, Krune decided against it, staring at Zule in exhaustion. "Is this your way of exacting revenge?"

"I thought you weren't so foolish, Zule."

"Hahaha!" Zule laughed as his hands clenched Krune's Wisp Core. "I'm fully driven by revenge, but at the end of the day, I'm still a Kun Peng. So, my way of things will only be that of a Kun Peng's. So… Krune."

He made eye contact as he asked, "You ready?"

"Yeah." Krune nodded, watching his Wisp Core shatter into a billion pieces, becoming no different from dust.

…

"Haah!" Wally regained consciousness as he looked at his battered body, crippled, feeling no trace of Godly Energy in his body anymore.

He looked at his Wisp Body, staring at the golden fragments covering his body. They were the result of his Wisp Core shattering.

Suddenly, the golden fragments twinkled before a mystical power exited them, forming a stream as they flowed towards the sky, leaving the Universe Realm.

Wally noticed that the golden fragments had now turned a shade of blue, similar to the rest of the wisps. He was already weak, and now that this had happened, he couldn't maintain his consciousness, falling unconscious once again.

Kulla rushed to his help, trying her best to ensure he was safe.

The golden stream flowed into Zule's body, who then infused it into the powder formed by Krune's Wisp Core, turning it into golden sand that rapidly re-joined, transforming into a golden Wisp Core.

But an instant later, the golden color turned white as Zule inserted his power into it, saying, "Do you know… it was my grandfather that created the races of True Spirits and Wisps? The perfect sword and shield concept. Unfortunately..."

He sighed. "Unlike the sword, the shield became too unbalanced as the majority of its intended power was concentrated into just one entity. And until that entity appeared, the wisp race wouldn't amount to much."

"This was the wisp's defect, a reason why their natural lifespan is a mere decade," Zule said. "My grandfather initially wished to correct them, but when he noticed the Kun Peng Chief's plan to reset the first generation, he decided against that and made a gamble."

"The truth regarding wisps is something even the Kun Peng Chief doesn't know. And among those alive in the Kun Peng, only I am aware, as it was the last thing my grandfather entrusted to me before he was killed." Zule gritted his teeth, continuing, "Initially, I was happy when Wally's Wisp Core turned golden, but he wasn't able to unlock the entirety of the Wisp Race's true power because he wasn't strong enough."

"But you…" He stared at Krune, telling him, "You're on the level of a Chief now. So, you've gained the qualification."

"My grandfather's gamble succeeded," Zule said as his power finished flowing into the golden Wisp Core, turning it fully white before it suddenly branched out into seven vibrant colors.

"This…" Upon seeing it, Krune smiled wryly. "This bugger sticks to me until the end, huh."

He then stared at Zule's crumbling body, sighing as he said, "Is this truly your way to seek revenge?"

"Of course." Zule grinned. "I've laid out all the pieces and now ended up creating the Universe Realm, the greatest thing a Kun Peng could ever create. And…"

His figure dissipated as the remainder of his power flowed to further strengthen the Universe Realm. "Once the final piece falls into place, I would have won. Can you fulfill my final wish, my child?"

"You needn't worry, Zule." Krune stared as he turned around, glaring at Turmul with killing intent as intense Godly Energy burst out of his body. "I intend to do it."

Gong! Gong! Gong!

Rumbling sounds resounded throughout the greater universe as the Universe Realm pulsated with energy, alerting all the Primordial Beasts, for this was the first time it was being activated.

All the Chiefs rushed towards the scene, but it was already too late as Krune flashed before Turmul when a beam of energy blasted out of the Universe Realm, so blinding, even its aftershocks were enough to annihilate entire realms.

Even the Chiefs were blinded for a moment, unable to sense anything as all their senses were overwhelmed by the intense beam of energy.

Universe Realm—Champion State!

His human form collapsed as Krune transformed into his Wisp Form as rainbow colors blasted out of him in violent arcs, transforming his body as it grew to become bigger than a realm.

True Wisp God!

The ultimate form of the shield that had been created during the first generation of the Greater Universe in its infancy stages.

And now, powered by the greatest of all realms, possessing the foundations of all eight generations of the Greater Universe and a Champion that was fueled by it.

Hunger Law—I'm Hungry, Gimme Power!

Krune unleashed his signature ability, but this time, it was aimed at the Universe Realm instead, stealing the powers of all the Gods, immortals, mortals, Universe Realm Spirit, Realm Spirit, Satellite Realm Spirit, Heavenly Spirit, Land Spirit, and finally, the Universe Realm Ability.

His Hunger Law devoured everything as his attack turned into an authority, causing his body to crack up before revealing a gigantic mouth, swallowing Turmul that seemed helpless before him.

"As if I'll go down like this!" Turmul bellowed as he unleashed all his might, devouring Krune from within, including his energy, laws, everything.

"Krune! Why?" Little Krune shouted in shock when he was suddenly sent out.

Staring at the Thundercloud Whale, Krune smiled. "You're still needed. If even Tribulation Lightning enters the Graveyard of Gods, none among the living would be able to grow stronger. Besides..."

He said, "I alone am enough to end this. Don't sacrifice yourself as well. Even though you're me, you're still another version of me. So, stop living as my shadow and venture into the open as yourself…"

"As Little Krune."
