As strong as the Fire Tribulation might have been, it was still not at a level where it could threaten Krune. Since the Tribulation Lightning Domain was being used alone, Krune also didn't need to care about it affecting the other ones, so it wasn't an issue to sustain it. In fact, even if he had run out of Tribulation Lightning power, he is more than capable of resisting the Tribulation Fire without it as well.

This time, everything went according to the plans, Krune finished his Tribulation and officially entered the Soul Forging Realm. But things didn't stop there. Krune took in Hobbek's Yang Heavenly Fragment, who had a higher cultivation than Uer in the past. So now that he finished his breakthrough, his cultivation started to increase once more. However, there was only enough strength for him to reach the 2nd Stage of the Soul Forging Realm before it settled down.

​​

Krune wasn't sad, though. He went from the 7th Stage of the previous realm to the 2nd of the next in just a bit more than a day. Not to mention that his Sun had once more doubled in size, which improved his Universe Foundation as a whole. Besides, there were no side effects in his cultivation or foundation at all. When he noticed that everything was over, he returned to his human form and came back to Feifei and the others.

At the same time, Wamie Zark, who was on her way to this place, had to stop.

"One of the Heavenly Fragments disappeared, there is only one now."

Gilia was surprised by that. The Heavenly Fragments had appeared over a day ago. Hence, they thought that perhaps their owners really died to something not related to their Universe fights. But then again, some other Heavenly Fragment owner might have been close and arrived first as well.

"Should we keep moving? We are not even halfway there. Both Fragments were in the same place, so most likely, the second one will be absorbed as well."

Wamie narrowed her eyes while thinking about it.

"Let's keep going. If the other one disappears as well, then we still have a lot of time to go back."

Back in the Wisp Main World, Krune was talking about his breakthrough with everyone.

"Well, everything went pretty much fine. I didn't see anything different because I used the Heavenly Fragments."

Ruik couldn't help but ask with a shocked face.

"How is that possible?!"

Krune looked at him, puzzled.

"What you mean?"

With the same expression, Ruik added.

"There must be something wrong. There were no explosions, new Souls, the environment is just fine too. Since when can you make a normal breakthrough? I was even expecting a God to descend and destroy the entire Universe this time!"

Everyone immediately burst out in laugher.

"That's true, this is not like Krune at all. Sure there was some explosion somewhere we didn't see, right?"

"Probably. Otherwise, it would be too boring."

"I thought it would be a demon god instead."

Krune's mouth twitched after hearing all of that. It is as if they are disappointed because everything worked out well.

Still, it was true that all of Krune's previous Realm breakthroughs, something weird happened. So they couldn't be blamed for expecting some heaven-defying event.

"Hmph!"

Feifei, who was still laughing, then passed Fie for him to hold.

"Alright, alright. Now is my time, so take care of Fie."

Krune nodded while still showing an annoyed face.

She quickly took some distance away from the group and took out the Yin Heavenly Fragment. After preparing enough Spirit Stones, she immediately absorbed the Fragment. Just Like Krune, her actual one and the new melted. Sometime later, they once more assumed the form of a single fragment, which was now bigger.

Feifei was in the 9th Stage, so her cultivation started to increase until it reached the peak. Just like Krune, her cultivation also stopped at that point.

"Time for a breakthrough then."

Feifei started the process of forging the Soul with Elemental Source energy. Like Cinty mentioned, the stronger your Soul, the lesser the pain. At the same time, the higher the number os hits it had to receive. Feifei got the Myriad Energies Technique all the way back in the Core Formation Realm, so she had been using it for quite some time.

Feifei was also a descendent of the Wang Clan, so they took extra care of her cultivation and Soul. Especially since they thought that she had a different Major Core at that time. Because of that, her cultivation and Soul power were already strong even before the Myriad Energies Technique.

Thanks to all of that, she had to strike the Soul over 2000 times. To be more precise, her Soul received 2341 hits, which was a fantastic number that few and far between could achieve. It was more than the double of Cinty's, for example.

The next part was obviously the Tribulation Fire, which Feifei did not have any problem fending off either. Although it couldn't be said to be as easy as Krune, she, too, overcame it without any surprises.

Once her breakthrough finished, her cultivation started to improve again.

2nd Stage;

3rd Stage;

And finally, Rannia's Yin Fragment had enough power to barely reach the 4th Stage.

At the moment, in a one vs. one battle, both Krune and Feifei would have no problem in dealing with Wamie Zark, who was in the 3rd Stage of the same Realm. After all, Wamie didn't have any extra Heavenly Fragment, nor did she have the Myriad Energies Technique. Let alone being a Tribulation Lightning User.

Wamie Zark, who was still moving in the Direction of the Wisp Main World, finally stopped once more.

"As expected, the last fragment presence disappeared."

Gilia was already expecting that as well.

"Should we go back then?"

Wamie nodded.

"There is no point anymore since I was too far away. I only know the general direction, but the area of search would be ridiculously enormous. Besides, if it turns out to be all the same Heavenly Fragment Owner, I wouldn't be his or her match at the moment."

Wamie pondered a bit and then said.

"Let's wait for my 'coating' to disappear. Once that happens, I will be able to feel the presence of the others as long as their coating disappeared as well. If ten years pass by and I can only feel the presence of a single Fragment Owner, that would mean he or she got all the other fragments. In that case, it will be idiotic to go after the fragments."

Gilia nodded, and their group turned around.

Back in the Wisp Main World, Feifei went back to Krune in a hurry since Fie spent almost an entire day without feeding. She didn't even bother to check her foundation since she could hear her child's cry.

"Why didn't you give her the milk I left for you?"

Krune smiled and said.

"Because I think it is better for you to do so directly."

Feifei sighed, she really couldn't go against those words. While she let Fie take her fill, Feifei explained how everything happened on her side.

"So, basically, nothing went wrong in my side either. I was even able to barely reach the 4th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm. Oh, right! Krune already had a 100% conversion of Spiritual Energy into Elemental Source Energy, so nothing changed for him. But for me, now I also reached 100% conversion with my last breakthrough."

That was something that everyone was already expecting, so no one felt surprised.

Tiane couldn't help but lament.

"Now I'm an entire Realm behind you. I wonder if there will be anything I can do at all from now on."

Feifei laughed and patted Tiane's head.

"Your cultivation Realm is a lot lower than mine, that's is correct. But it also means that the cultivation speed will be a lot higher. By the time I make a single Stage Breakthrough, you will probably make two. It was only because of the Heavenly Fragments that Krune and I turned out like this. Besides, I'm happy as long as you stay with me."

Krune then looked at Ruik with a not very willing expression.

"Errr... Do you need me to comfort you as well?"

Ruik almost vomited blood!

"Comfort your head! I don't need any comfort, especially from you! And what with the annoyed expression when you asked it?"

Krune sighed in relief.

"It's just that I somehow felt creepy when I thought about having to do that. It's good that you don't need it then."

Ruik couldn't be more unwilling too.

"Hmph! You are overthinking."

Feifei and Tiane couldn't help but laugh out loud after that comic play.

"They are really close, don't you think?"

"Yeap, they might have even married if they weren't from the same gender."

Krune and Ruik felt a chill on their backs after hearing that.

Cinty then stopped their conversation and said.

"Anyway, when do you want to go to the Elemental Path?"

Krune finally came back to himself.

"Oh, I guess that the sooner, the better."

"Are the rest of you coming as well?"

Tiane, Ruik, and the others nodded. Since there was no restriction, and it had something to do with the Myriad Energies Technique, they wanted to go take a look.

Krune nodded at everyone.

"Alright, we will leave a few days after Tiane's egg hatch."

Tiane was surprised by that.

"I can bring it inside a pocket dimension box, there isn't really a need to wait."

Feifei shook her head.

"No can do. What if you need to go out for some reason? Besides, although it will take around a month for it to hatch, who said that the time we are going to spend in the Elemental Path will be lower than that? Both Krune and I aren't in a hurry, so let's make sure everything is fine before that."

Cinty agreed with Feifei.

"She is right. Anyway, it will only be a month and some days of wait. What does such a time mean for a cultivator and demon beast? It will be over in a blink of an eye."

Thus, their departure got scheduled for after Tiane's egg hatch.
