Is that a Wisp? Chapter 638: Clusters

As soon as Krune and Iem broke through the Meridian wall, they felt a strong wave of Godly Energy. It was so intense that they were pulled back by its force. However, they quickly stabilized themself as they looked at it.

“So much Godly Energy. Too bad, we can’t waste our time cultivating in this place.”

Iem nodded.

“That’s true. Anyway, if the meridian is already this full of Godly Energy, then you can imagine how much there is in the Dantian or Demon Core.”

Illia, who was only looking, was also impressed with all that Godly Energy.

“The meridians will be a very good place if we want to go out later. Make sure to remember where they are located so that I can use them to bring us out when the time comes.”

Krune and Iem nodded before looking back at the hole.

“Alright, let’s go!”

Krune’s group then jumped inside the meridian. After confirming which direction the Godly Energy was coming from, they immediately departed. There was no Silver Blood inside the meridians. Because of that, they didn’t find any Space Creature on their way. 

Of course, just to make sure, Krune used his same strategy of dummy birds. After all, there was no rule saying that the Space Creatures could only appear where there was Silver Blood.

As time passed, they increased their pace until they began to run at Illia’s max speed. At some point, the passage began to enlarge. It was an indicator that they were getting close to their objective. Finally, they exited the meridian and appeared in an enormous space where they could see several hundreds of similar passages from all sides. 

At the very center, they saw an immense silver sphere that shined with silver light. The amount of Godly Energy coming from it was simply huge. 

“So much Godly Energy! It feels like there is more Godly Energy in that Silver Sphere than the Top Quality Godly Vein we saw outside.”

Iem nodded.

“That’s to be expected. After all, our theory is that the Godly Veins appeared in the Mountain Range because of this body, right? If this thing wasn’t stronger the Top Quality Godly Veins, then it wouldn’t be able to give birth to them.”

Krune agreed with Iem.

“Well, at least now I’m sure this is a Demon Beast. This thing is absolutely a Demon Core. Although this body died a long time ago, now that I’m this close to the Core, I can feel a small amount demonic aura.”

Illia couldn’t help but say.

“As you know, our foundations increase in size as we cultivate. Someone at this demon beast’s level would have a foundation of the size of several galaxies. Also, it is obvious that this demon beast is deeply related to Space Laws. Chances are that we would be dragged somewhere we won’t be able to ever leave again. Of course, this body has been dead for a long time, so the space inside might have disappeared already.”

Krune’s eyes narrowed.

“Well, entering it doesn’t seem very hard. Look at that.”

Everyone followed Krune’s finger direction with their eyes and soon noticed something. The shell of the giant Demon Core had a huge crack. It was possible to see an aperture big enough to fit a house at the very center too. However, compared to the Demon Core’s size itself, the crack didn’t seem that big.

That wasn’t all. After Krune’s group looked around, they noticed that several other cracks of smaller and bigger sizes could be seen around the Demon Core.

From inside the cracks, they could see specks of Silver Light flowing out continuously. Krune approached some of those specks and used his Mental Energy to check them.

“Space Laws mixed with something else. I can’t tell what, though.”

Iem then pointed at somewhere else.

“Hey, look!”

Krune and Illia’s eyes followed Iem’s finger and noticed several clusters on the walls of the Silver Sphere. After paying a little more attention, they soon noticed several shinning objects protruding out of those clusters.

“Top Quality Godly Stones! Hundreds of them!”

Krune and Iem couldn’t help but laugh out loud!

“Hahaha! This trip was indeed worth it!”

“Let’s take them!”

However, just as they were about to step forward, they heard an explosion coming from one of the Meridians’ entrances. Soon, more and more of those sounds began to come from there until suddenly, a man rushed out at high speeds.

“Senior Jimage!”

Jimage’s hair was messy, and his clothes were quite torn. There were also a few injuries on his body, but they didn’t seem too serious.

Jimage heard his name being called and quickly looked in Krune’s direction. 

“You are also here?!”

As soon as he finished saying those words, another three figures came out of the same meridian’s passage. Krune and Iem immediately recognized them. They were Foltan and his other two Divinity Realm group members. Obviously, the three of them joined hands to hunt Jimage at some point.

Foltan looked at Krune and Iem before narrowing his eyes. 

Krune and Iem didn’t waste time and appeared beside Jimage in a flash. Illia also did the same thing since she couldn’t go far away from the duo without their permission.

Jimage didn’t understand why a member of the Flower River Sect was together with Krune and Iem, but it seemed like she wouldn’t attack him either. Since that was the case, he decided to put those thoughts behind and warned the enemy.

“Foltan, I advise you to stop this bullshit. If I really die, Kalen will destroy the Teleport Formation outside. If that happens, you will be locked in this place with everyone else.”

Foltan snorted, though.

“As long as your group has at least half of its members alive, I doubt he will do so.”

However, Iem began to laugh after hearing that.

“Too bad, you can’t attack us anymore.”

Foltan was taken aback by Iem’s words. Not only him but Jimage as well.

“Yea? Why?”

Iem then pointed at the clusters attached to the Demon Core.

Obviously, Foltan and Jimage looked at the direction Iem pointed at and were taken aback.

“Top Quality Godly Stones, so many!”

Iem nodded.

“Well then, look at how many clusters are present there too. I wonder, what will happen if the energy inside all those clusters were to go out of control together?”

Jimage’s eyes lit up.

“Hahaha! Iem, you are good.”

Foltan, on the other hand, smiled bitterly. He is confident that with his numbers of Divinity Realm members, he could kill them all. However, there are hundreds of clusters filled to the brin with Godly Energy. If they did as much as sending a single strong attack against those clusters, they would all be doomed! The power of the explosion of so many clusters wouldn’t allow a single one of them to escape alive.

In the end, Foltan could only put his weapon back in his spatial ring and give up the attack. 

“What do you propose?”

Jimage nodded, satisfied.

“There is no need for us to be this hostile to each other, right? There are hundreds of Top Quality Godly Stones there. We can simply share them.”

Foltan shook his head.

“My group has the advantage in power. Why should we give half of it to you?”

Jimage shrugged his shoulders. 

“We can make a competition of ability. We will keep the ones we get. How about it?”

Foltan snorted.

“Do you think I don’t know about your rainbow-colored friend’s special ability? If I really do that, I wonder if we could bring even 10% of them back with us.”

Pharan’s group had told Foltan before about Krune’s ability to remove the Top Quality Godly Stones in just a few seconds. However, Foltan’s members would need several minutes for each one of them.

It was then that Illia finally spoke.

“Are you all not forgetting something much more important? What about the Demon Core itself? There are hundreds of Top Quality Godly Stones outside, so what exactly can be found inside?”

Jimage and Foltan were taken aback. However, they were not idiots. They know as well as anyone else that all foundations have their own space inside. Just how big would be the foundation of a monster like this Demon Beast’s body? The only doubt was if the space/foundation inside the Demon Core still existed after so long or not. If it didn’t, then the insides most likely had things even more valuable.

“Girl, are you trying to lure me inside to get lost in the Foundation?”

Illia smiled before shrugging her shoulders.

“Does that mean that Senior Foltan’s group will give up entering the Demon Core?”

Foltan narrowed his eyes. Obviously, they wouldn’t do leave without first confirming if it was possible to enter the Demon Core or not.

“What do you have in mind?”

Before Illia answered, Jimage moved beside a big cluster with several other clusters attached to it and sat down.

“I’m definitely not entering. Someone has to stay outside to detonate these clusters in case your team tries something against my own. I’ll stay right here, waiting for you to decide.”

Foltan couldn’t help but say.

“If you are staying, then so do I. I can’t leave you alone in this place, or my group would be doomed as well.”

Jimage then suggested.

“It is evident that both of our teams thought about the same thing. If we wait here for a few more hours, our other team members will most likely arrive here. How about we wait and let them enter to check?”

Foltan didn’t like to lose his advantage in power, but he knew that Jimage wouldn’t go anywhere far from those clusters anytime soon. That being said, he could only accept the idea.

“Very well. However, I will only wait for a single day.”

Jimage smiled and nodded.

“One day it is.”

Krune and Iem then sent Jimage a request through Divine Sense.

“What, you two want to breakthrough now?”

The two of them immediately nodded.

“With this amount of Top Quality Godly Stones, our sect definitely won’t complain if we use some for our breakthrough.”

Jimage pondered a bit and had to admit that they were right. Even after sharing everything, they would still be the recordist with the highest number of Top Quality Godly Stones brought out. No one in their sect would complain about their breakthrough since they are still in the Divine View Realm.

Krune then sent Jimage one last piece of information.

After hearing that, Jimage’s eyes opened wide as he looked at Illia. Right after, he looked back at Krune and asked with a Divine Sense message as well.

“Are you sure?”

Krune nodded.

“Absolutely.”

Jimage then looked at Illia closely, which made her feel uncomfortable. Suddenly, a thought passed through Jimage’s mind. He then smiled and sent a Divine Sense message to Illia, Krune, and Iem at the same time.

“Hello, Bianka. It’s my pleasure to meet the Flower River Sect’s Sect Master’s daughter.”

Illia’s expression changed drastically after hearing that.
