Is that a Wisp?

The main reason for that to happen was because Zule was separating himself from the tower's formations. He had been fused with them for thousands of years, so it would obviously cause some strain when he started.

Back on the last floor, Zule's silver light pulsed ferociously. Krune and Iem could feel the power of the Space Laws emanating with each pulse. Finally, Zule began to move from the center of the formations. As he floated away, strands of Godly Energy kept breaking apart as if they were some kind of chains.

Finally, the last strand disappeared, and Zule left the formations. As soon as he did that, the pressure that emanated from him disappeared too. Everyone in the tower felt the moment it happened.

"So, you can control the pressure of your aura."

Zule nodded and then shook his head.

"I could, but only after I left the formations. Before that, the formations had control over this feature of mine. Now that I'm out, I obviously can control it again."

Krune and Iem nodded.

"But was it okay for you to leave the center of the formations? Didn't they need you to be there for everything to work?"

Zule's small projection shrugged his shoulders.

"Those are basically the formations that control the trials and the No Return Maze. They have no control over the dimension itself, I have. Besides, now I don't need to care about the rules of the trial anymore."

Suddenly, the silver light that had been around Zule all the time disappeared, showing the real appearance of the treasure. It had the format of a nonagonal transparent pyramid. Inside, Krune and Iem could see a core fragment that pulsed with very faint silver light. Obviously, that was Zule's Space Heavenly Fragment.

"What do we do now? Can we leave?"

Zule's project smiled before nodding.

"Of course, give me a second."

The Pyramid began to shine with Silver Light again and pulled Krune and Iem together. Before they knew it, the space around them warped, and they appeared somewhere else outside the city.

Still, they didn't have enough time to ponder because Zule's voice echoed in their heads. In fact, not only their heads but the heads of every single resident of the city.

"The Seal has finally been broken. This Dimensional Realm will soon be revealed to the outside world. Once that happens, there will be no lack of individuals entering this place to see what this is about. I have opened several teleport formations everywhere inside and out of the city. Each one of them will teleport you to the previous location of the Emukran Sect."

"It had been hard on you to be locked in this place for 50 thousand years, but today it is over. Those who wish to remain in this bleak cave may do so. Those who wish to leave just need to take the teleport formations. From today onwards, you are all free."

Immediately, the entire city went on an uproar. Many people thought it to be some joke. Yet, the fact was that teleport formations really appeared everywhere. Obviously, there had been those who were warry of the formations. Others looked at it with their eyes shining. However, Zule couldn't care less. He already did a lot by allowing everyone to exit anytime they wanted.

Zule then looked at Krune and Iem before saying.

"I will send you back to the same place you were supposed to have been teleported before."

The two didn't know what to say. Everything went a lot smoother than they thought. Although there were no rewards after they went through all of this, they would not complain. All they wanted was to get away from this place before they get locked again.

Krune sighed before saying.

"Very well, may we meet each other again someday."

Zule nodded and let the two of them step on the teleport formation. They looked back at the city they stayed in the last few months. Although it was just a short adventure, they still had the chance to cultivate and get used to their power during the beast horde. All in all, it wasn't really a complete waste of time as they thought a moment ago.

Krune then remembered one thing.

"Oh, right! Iem, leave senior Iridia's Sliver of Soul free. Even though having someone at her level as subordinate seems good, I don't want anyone using it to find our location."

Iem pondered a bit and had to admit that Krune was right. They didn't need to be afraid of their identities being found either since they used different appearances when they entered the city. Both Luvile and Harold also disguised their auras, so no one would be able to use it too.

Iem then took that sliver of a soul from his foundation and made a seal with his hands. A few seconds later, it trembled before shooting into the distance. Obviously, it went straight back to where Iridia was staying.

The teleport formation then shined before Krune and Iem disappeared in a flash of Silver Light.

After they left, Zule looked behind at the city. Suddenly, a playful smile appeared in his tiny mouth's projection as the Pyramid appeared on top of the formation as well. Just like Krune and Iem, it disappeared right after with another flash of silver light.

Back in the Godly Tower, everyone was still bewildered by what they heard. Iridia was also startled by that. Just as she was thinking about what to do, she felt that her Sliver of Soul was freed. Obviously, her eyes lit up as she looked in a specific direction. Soon, a flash of light appeared in the room, quickly entering her head. As one can imagine, that was none other than her Soul Sliver. Together with that, there was a divine sense message left by Iem.

"We have no need for you to be our slave, so I'm letting your Sliver of Soul go. We probably won't meet again either. Use the teleport formations and guide everyone out. Don't ask about the treasure. We were way too weak to deal with it anyway. If you want to find it, that's your problem. That's all, good luck."

Iridia's eyes began to tear up, but she quickly wiped them as she looked at the cultivators around her. They were still in doubt whether these teleport formations were real or not. After all, the majority thought that the surface was nothing but a legend.

"Go back to your families and pack everything. These teleport formations are real. They can really send everyone out of this place. I'll be going ahead first. If you guys want to stay, that is your problem."

Elder Huan and a few others who knew Iridia immediately appeared on her side. They didn't have families since they died of old age a long time ago. All their belongings were inside their Spatial Rings as well. Iridia smiled after seeing that and then stomped her foot on the ground. The teleport formation activated, and they disappeared right after.

Soon, teleport formations in the entire city began to flash one after another. Even if it was just a legend, no one wanted to lose the opportunity of going out. As low as the chance might be, everyone decided to try it. Besides, news about Iridia, the unfathomable elder of the Godly Tower, quickly began to spread. The leaders of the big powers of the city saw her in person. After she left using the teleport formation, it gave even more credibility to that voice everyone heard.

At the same time, somewhere in an empty field, a flash of silver light appeared. From it, elder Iridia and the elders who left with her came out. Iridia looked around with expectation, but the place had nothing.

Soon after, several more flashes of silver light began to appear one after another. Without a doubt, those were the residents of the Underground City who used the Teleport Formations. They looked around and also noticed that the place was empty. However, none of them seemed dispirited, that's because the so familiar cave ceiling and walls were nowhere to be seen!

This was supposed to be an area controlled by the Emukran Sect. However, Iridia couldn't see any of the buildings that existed here in the past, much less any disciple of the sect.

What Iridia didn't know was that the Emukran Sect didn't exist anymore. The place had been cleaned up a long time ago.

Sometime later, several figures appeared in the distance, flying in their direction at full speed. Those were cultivators and demon beasts in human form who noticed the ripples of space in this place. Of course, they were taken aback by what they saw. The area kept flashing with silver light nonstop.

Elder Iridia and everyone else would have a lot to do now that they are back. However, this is a story for another time.

Back in the Tribulation Fields of Immai City, one of the fields' teleport formation flashed with silver light. From inside, Krune and Iem appeared right after. They looked around and immediately recognized the place. That's where they had paid to use the field Krune made his breakthrough into the Divine View Realm! They quickly reverted their appearance back to what it was before anyone noticed them.

Iem and Krune couldn't help but feel excited after that!

"We are back!"

However, a voice echoed in their minds right after.

"Great! Let's go out to take a look."

Krune and Iem almost jumped in fright!

"Zule!"
