Is That A Wisp? Chapter 407
Advertisement
Krune then looked inside his Foundation, or to be more specific, at the Purple Tribulation Lightning source where Light Spirit's soul resided.
"What you want?"
Krune smiled and asked.
"Isn't the very essence of the Tribulation Lightning inside the Tribulation Source? What about you let me create a Purple Tribulation Lightning Chaos Meridian? That will help a lot!"
"Scram! The essence of my Tribulation Lightning is not as simple to create as the Tribulation Lightning itself. It will take me forever to recharge it."
Krune didn't give up, though.
"Isn't there a way to recover it faster?"
Light Spirit chuckled.
"Sure, just master all the Sub-Laws and fuse them together into the Purple Tribulation Lightning Major Law. When you do that, you will be able to help me refill the Tribulation Lightning Essence. Simple, no?"
Krune's mouth twitched.
"Simple your head! Come on, there must be something that can help me with it."
"No can do."
"Then how long would it take for you to recover that essence?"
Light Spirit pondered a bit and answered.
"Considering that my Tribulation Lightning Laws are harder to comprehend than Space, Time, and Destiny, you will need at least twice the time using my Tribulation Source Essence. So I guess I would need at least 20 years to recover everything. You are still 19 years old, it is more than the double of your life already."
Krune then had an idea.
"Can't we do something like using little by little so that you can keep the essence full with your recovery speed?"
Light Spirit Laughed.
"In that case, you would be the one using 20 years to finish the Chaos Meridian."
Krune had to admit that it was true.
But it was then that Krune heard Light Spirit.

"Unless..."
"Unless what?!"
Light Spirit pondered a bit and suggested.
"Unless I can use those Halos. My Tribulation Lightning essence can recover very fast with those things."
Krune was taken aback. After all, what will happen with the others if he feeds the Halos to the Tribulation Source?
"That..."
Krune conscience came out of his Foundation right after.
"Aila, you all perhaps don't have more of those Halos, do you?"
Aila looked at Krune as if she was looking at an idiot.
"What do you think those Halos are? Candies? It took us several chaos cycles to finish those things, okay?"
Krune sighed and was just about to give up when he heard Light Spirit's voice.
"I can feed one whole to the Tribulation Source, or I can use a little of each of those nine. If the Halos are not destroyed, they should be able to recover by themselves with time."
Krune's eyes lit up, and he immediately requested.
"There is a new Meridian that I would like to create. But for that, I will need the Halos themselves. If I use one whole, that should be enough. However, I can't do that. Otherwise, the others would lack this one for their Chaos Meridians. In that case, is it okay if I take away 1/9 of each of the Halos?"
Aila couldn't help but ask.
"Just how exactly do you want to create a new Chaos Meridian? Each of the existing nine already encompasses all the laws in all the Universes, including Tribulations, so there shouldn't be anything else to be created."
Krune shook his head.
"Not all laws."
Suddenly, arcs of Purple Lightning started to go around his body.
"My Purple Tribulation Laws are not something that exists in any of the Universes out there except for the Luvile Universe. So what I'm going to create is a Purple Tribulation Lightning Chaos Meridian."

Aila was taken aback once more. She then paid close attention to those arcs of Purple Lightning. Sure enough, she could feel the presence of Laws, but they weren't any type she felt before. It was then that Aila remembered one thing that her Master, Wally, said a long time ago.
"There was a time in the higher realms where some guys tried to create their own laws. But, because of that..."
Aila didn't dare to think any further. She then contacted all the other disciples and explained the situation to them. In a place where Krune and his group couldn't see, the projection of the Nine Disciples appeared together.
Phillin was the first one to talk.
"Do you think it has something to do with Master? After all, a Myriad Energies Technique user shouldn't have appeared this soon."
Rile shook his head.
"I genuinely believe that Krune found out about the Second Form of the Myriad Energies Technique by himself. During these last two years that he had been creating the Chaos Meridians, I've been observing him. His talent is really frightening, even for a wisp. Of course, as soon as he cultivated the Second Form, Master should have noticed his presence. If he did not intervene, that is because he has plans for him."
Karine pondered a little before saying.
"Still, those Purple Lightning Laws are definitely not from the Lower Realms. No one in this place would be able to create new Laws. The fact that no one noticed it yet is because they don't know that those Purple Tribulation Lightning Laws are not natural. Even for us, we only noticed that after Krune said it himself. And mainly because neither one of the Nine Chaos Meridians can fuse with those laws."
Aila then asked the real question.
"Anyway, we know that Master definitely knows about his existence. So what should we do, will we let him take 1/9 of each of our Halos? Truth be told, if it is only this much, we should be able to heal the Halos with time. In addition, we would be able to see a totally new Chaos Meridian. Of course, that is considering that Krune can really create a new Chaos Meridian at all."
Amisra tried to pry into the Destiny with her Destiny Divine Soul, but even she couldn't see if Krune would succeed or not.
"Because those Laws are not part of the Universe, I can't tell what would happen if he tries it or not. When I try to check the Destiny Energy around the Purple Tribulation Lightning, all I can see is a big void. As if someone had put a black hole that can suck in Destiny Energy. It is impossible to read it."
Aimer laughed and then said.
"Let's do it. Since the Halos won't be destroyed and we can heal them, it is worth a try. After all, weren't we looking for a breaking point in our research? Who knows? This new Chaos Meridian might be exactly what we have been lacking to create the 5th Form of the Myriad Energies Technique."
After hearing about the 5th Form, all their eyes lit up.
"Then it is decided, we will allow him to try it once as long as he doesn't absorb too much of each Halo."

The premise follows Azlan as he explores the province, experiencing the culture and its people as they try to stand unshaken amidst a cold and unforgiving world. The story is a dark fantasy that is a balance of action and world building but most importantly, it follows the people going about their daily lives.

Everyone awaits for Heaven's descent, an event prophesied to bring the world out of stasis, by granting the champion of the event a wish. Heaven Shall Descend. I wanted to write a high fantasy story that doesn't focuses too much on Magic and Swordfights, but rather interactions between people, a bit of politics and ideals. This is my first attempt at writing something this huge, please let me know if you see mistakes or any problems in general, so I can learn from them. (The cover picture is from the year 1818, "Wanderer Above the Mist" by Caspar David Friedrich). I also write Short stories set in the same shared universe.

A New Beginning
Humans don't understand how someone can be both dead and alive, and that fact scares them, it opens up the possibility of a threat even if there is no evidence of malevolent intent.

They choose to pretend that the unknown variable is lesser, that humanity is superior on no other grounds than that it's humanity.
