Chapter 1159: Overwhelming? Or Not?
Krune ate a Rank 4 God Stone. Though, he wasn’t actually eating it. Instead, he placed it in his mouth while using his cultivation technique to absorb the Godly Energy from it. As he was fighting using both his hands and since everything beyond his figure was a clash of godly abilities, he wouldn’t be able to recover his Godly Energy.
With that in mind, he placed it in his mouth to siphon Godly Energy from it constantly and replenish his expended reserves.
After all, even though he behaved as if everything was according to his plans, in actuality, he was slowly losing his cool. Kirena was stronger than he had expected. He could say with assurance that she was by far the strongest opponent he had faced in the God Realm.
Even though she fell victim to his attacks time and again, a battle between cultivators with Spiritual Incarnations wasn’t like that. It depended on which side exhausted their Godly Energy first.
Naturally, the one that expended all their Godly Energy first would be the one getting defeated. After all, to them, no amount of injury mattered since they were able to recover. Even if their Spiritual Incarnation was damaged, as long as they had enough Godly Energy, they could use their Divine Sense to slowly restructure the laws forming their Spiritual Incarnation and heal themselves.
In their current battle, even though it was Krune damaging Kirena, he was the one expending a lot of Godly Energy. In contrast, Kirena hadn’t yet used any means to recover her Godly Energy. She still had enough in her reserves to fight him.
It was because she had tough defenses that were hard to crack. Plus, even though he slammed a Tribulation Lightning into her, he failed to kill her.
Watching the earthen hands continue to pummel her nonstop, Krune used his Sonic Radar to discreetly spy on her, noticing that she was actually recovering her strength despite the attacks on her.
Each punch of the earthen hand was equivalent to an all-out attack of a regular Nascent God Realm cultivator. In fact, tens of such attacks slammed into her every second. ‘To think that she’s able to heal despite such attacks. Her comprehension of the laws is frightening.’
Krune had his guard up all this time, ready to counterattack Kirena the moment she tried anything on him. After all, she hadn’t used any trump cards yet. On the other hand, he had already shown most of his cards to her.
If they continued in such a fashion, it was only time before he fell victim to her abilities. However, he had no intention of allowing that to happen.
Suddenly, two Cloud Whales appeared in the air, piercing through Kirena’s body. The subtle fluctuation they exhibited influenced her mind, further reducing her fighting spirit.
The Cloud Whale was a being full of peace. When he didn’t use it to attack, it began to exude the property it was born with. This was to ensure everything was at peace.
With three Cloud Whales piercing her body, Kirena’s fighting spirit dropped as low as it could go as she passively endured the attacks.
Suddenly, intense ringing sounds emanated from her body before it turned metallic. Numerous metal hands shot out from her body, punching the three Cloud Whales away. However, before they were sent flying, all three of them slammed an Air Needle into her.
This time, the Air Needles resembled plasma. Krune had filled them with the laws of Fire, increasing the might of the damage they could inflict upon her, watching her body beginning to sear.
Kirena condensed an energy sphere around her as countless ripples formed on them, diverting the Air Needles before absorbing all the heat energy from them.
‘She’s absorbing the Godly Energy from the ability itself.’ Krune frowned, instantly causing the Air Needles to return to their original state, increasing the force of pure impact as they sent her flying. As the Air Needles were made by absorbing and compressing the surrounding air, it was a purely physical attack.
As long as he didn’t use any laws in attacks that made direct contact with her, her abilities wouldn’t be able to affect them.
Thinking of something, Krune quickly modified his plan as one of the clones brought out a Cloud Whale, one that was hidden from view.
Mental Energy Shell!
It was a technique he developed using Feifei’s help to shield the attacks made using the Cloud Whale, exclusively for this purpose. In fact, it was such a profound technique that it didn’t actually shield the Cloud Whale or anything.
To be honest, all forms of detective abilities would be able to sense it. However, the users of said abilities wouldn’t realize anything. Instead, they would gloss over this piece of information just like how the brain would filter out all excess information about the surroundings.
Of course, the Mental Energy consumed was proportional to the power of the detection ability used. But for Krune, he was able to bear with the consumption.
At present, the expenditure was lower than what he had assumed as Kirena had yet to recover her complete fighting spirit.
Using the chance, the Cloud Whale pierced through her body, injecting Frozen Blood into her. Once it was done, it vanished when Kirena was stumped for breath all of a sudden, unable to move.
When she tried to sense any changes in her body, she was alarmed to see that she was unable to notice anything. In fact, everything seemed perfectly fine with her Spiritual Incarnation. Soon after, an intense sense of lethargy enveloped her.
This lethargy amplified the feeling of peace still affecting her, causing her unable to bring even an ounce of fighting strength.
‘This guy is a freak!’ She realized as she watched Krune calmly place God Stone in his mouth, smiling as he waved at her.
“Damn it! It won’t end here!” she shouted in rage. But in actuality, even she herself was shocked to see that she was actually speaking to him formally, with a tone of composure, as if they were conversing over tea.
The changes alarmed her as her body brimmed with fire, sending her body reeling out as she made a streak of light, flashing towards the border of the Misty Plains.
