Knowing from where the enemy was coming, Krune asked Light Spirit to help cover his Flying Shields as well. Because the shields were made of Tribulation Ore, it was easier to use Tribulation Lightning on them. Light Spirit did as Krune asked, and with that, the shields were also hidden from the enemy's Divine Sense.

Krune had only one plan, get rid of at least one of the enemies before the rest came over. Even though they could use the teleport formation, there is no way to say if the assassins will be able to find a way to enter the inner core region. So it was best to eliminate part of the danger straight away.

​​

Krune had told the others what he was about to do, but Hulibe Acrol was against it at first. Acrol and his friends still could fight at the Divine Soul Realm level once more, so he wanted to be the one to make the attack. But even though Krune didn't know why Hulibe could fight those guys, he decided to refuse his idea.

"If you have a way to fight them, you better keep it for later. Don't worry, I'm very confident in my attack power. At the very least, I should be able to severely injure him, so just keep looking."

Acrol was doubtful, but he had to admit that if Krune could deal with one of them without needing his help, then that would be for the best. But the main reason he trusted Krune at the moment was that he was Lucio's very first personal disciple. For the Sect Master to have chosen this wisp, Krune has to have some tricks of his own.

Yano, as expected, was using his Divine Sense to check what was happening inside, but all he could see are the demons beasts that remained behind. There was no sign of Krune or anyone from his group. For Yano, it was good. He knew that Krune and the others 'teleported' away, so with his companions holding back the demon beasts, it would be easy for him to destroy the Teleport Formation.

Unfortunately for him, Krune was there waiting for his arrival.

As soon as he entered the teleport formation room, Yano noticed several shields floating in the air around him. At first, he thought that it was a defensive formation, but that was for only a split of a second. That's because those shields were not appearing in his Divine Sense!

Immediately, he felt extreme danger fall over him and tried to retreat, but how could Krune allow him to do that? He had been prepared long before, and he wasn't holding back anything. After this attack, he definitely wouldn't be able to use it again before spending some time recovering the Tribulation Lightning power.

"Tribulation Calamity!"

Tribulation Lightning Spread from Krune and hit all the shields, which then reflected them everywhere inside his shields range. Water, Fire, and Wind Element were also in place, giving birth to the Tribulation Fire. Even Yano, who was the best one at survival in his group, had little time to react at that point. In the end, he could only use his spiritual energy to create a spiritual energy barrier around his body to defend against the attack.

Boom!

Tribulation Lightning and Fire spread everywhere inside the range of the shields, and even Hulibe felt afraid of it. Even if he used his treasures for defense, they still might not be able to defend that attack. Not to mention that Krune wasn't using any kind of treasure either. That was basically his own attack power!

One must remember that when Krune used this attack against Lucio, it was his first time doing it, so he had got a lot better at it now. Also, krune had gone one stage of cultivation higher, which also contributed to the attack. Finally, there is the fact that Krune didn't use his entire reserve of Tribulation Lightning against Lucio, but this time, he definitely did!

If even his Master, Lucio, couldn't leave the range of the attack in time, let alone this guy. Although Lucio had suppressed his cultivation to the 3rd level of the core formation, he was still a Semi Divinity Realm cultivator. But even he didn't notice the attack until he was already inside.

Yano's Spiritual Energy barrier broke apart as if it was made of glass! The Lightning and Fire hit his body from all directions. At that moment, he knew that he was about to die. Still, he is a middle stage Divine Soul Realm demon beast and one good at survival. In that moment of Life and Death, Yano used a forbidden technique that drained his griffin bloodline to out. Right after, all his feathers turned blood red!

His attack, defense, speed, everything increased, and he used that chance to charge out of shields range. That power of his would only last for a little while, and he would pretty much be without combat power left after that.

Krune saw it and snorted.

"You just got here, why don't you stay for a little longer?"

As soon as Yano hard that voice, his heart went cold. Just as he was about to leave the Tribulation Calamity zone, his griffin head hit a steel wall! To be more precise, he was stopped by Krune's Flying Shields! The shields that Krune used to attack with the Tribulation Calamity already lost their Divine Sense cover, so Yano could see them now.

Still, Krune had purposely left 5 shields unused for the sole purpose of defending in case his attack failed. But now that it succeeded, they were pretty much free, and they still had the anti-Divine Sense Tribulation Layer. Krune used them to stop the Griffin from leaving the range of his Tribulation Calamity.

Yano then threw caution to the wind! At first, he could still recover after a few weeks of the side effects of using his bloodline. But now that it reached this point, he couldn't care anymore. Yano then used even more of this power, which will definitely affect him for life! After that, he once more attacked the shields ahead.

This time, there was so much power behind the attack that Krune's 5 shields were sent flying! Yano used that change and left the place straight away. He didn't even look back, nor did he care about the Teleport Formation anymore. In a red streak, Yano left the building and disappeared in the distance.

Krune and the others knew that it was now time. The teleport formation activated, and the spirit stones left in place started to turn into dust. A moment later, Krune and everyone else disappeared with a flash of silver light.

All of this took some time to explain but happened in no more than 10 seconds. The assassins saw everything that happened inside with their Divine Sense and were taken aback. They wanted to go there and help, but not only was everything over too fast, but the Demon Beasts also had no intention of letting them go.

Just a second after the Krune and the others disappeared, the Teleport Formation suddenly broke apart. It was evident that the teleport formation on the other side was destroyed too. Usually, if you break one side of the teleport formation, nothing would happen with the other one. But because the formation was still active when they destroyed, the space power inside went in disarray, making that one break too.

Yano had left straight away, and he didn't come back to his group. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but because he was almost without any combat power left.

Fortunately, the assassins had the upper hand even with the disadvantage in numbers. But in the end, they decided that there was no point in keeping this fight against the Divine Soul Demon Beasts and retreated too.

Sometime later, Yano contacted Lanis and told him where he was. After Lanis got there, his face went dark. Yano was basically only skin and bones, there is no way he would be able to participate in a battle anytime soon.

Lanis then asked

"How is it?"

Yano looked dispirited and said.

"It's even worse than it looks, I have overdrawn my bloodline way too much, and I'm basically stuck at the Divine Soul Realm for life now. Unless I find some heaven-defying treasure, I have no hope of improvement in the future."

Yano went silent for a second and then continued.

"Even so, I still can use Divination, which should help you guys find another entrance. There is one thing that I'm sure about. That teleport formation definitely connected to the inner core region, and I'm confident that it isn't the only one."

Usually, Lanis would get rid of anyone that had no more use in this mission. But Yano was right, he could still use his Divination ability. He then took out a healing pill and threw it to Yano.

"Use it."

Yano didn't say anything and swallowed the pill. Still, he would take a few hours before he could even move again. As for the battle, that was out of the question for a long time now.
