It is not like Krune had never tried to create a tenth Spiritual Meridian before. In fact, he tried several times. But all the tries ended in failure, so eventually, he gave up. However, Heavin is right. Without an Elemental meridian to support the Chaos one, the tenth Chaos Meridian can't be completed.

It was then that Krune had an idea.

​​

"It is not that I can't create a tenth Spiritual Meridian. It is just that there are only Nine Pseudo Spiritual Meridians to start with. It is the process of fusing all nine Pseudo Meridians together that gives birth to an Elemental Meridian. Each Pseudo Meridian is different from the other, so as long as I create a new type of Pseudo Meridan, I should be able to make a new fusion."

Heavin then asked.

"If the limit of Spiritual Meridians is due to the number of Pseudo Meridians, then if you create more and more Pseudo Meridians, shouldn't you be able to create more and more Spiritual ones?"

Krune shook his head.

"It is not that simple. Now that I think about it, the creation of Nine Pseudo Meridians was already connected with the existence of the Nine Universe Foundations. Since there is no other foundation, there is obviously no other Pseudo Meridian. If I want to create a new Pseudo Meridian, I can only use something that doesn't exist. That means, my only chance is to create a new Pseudo Purple Tribulation Lightning Meridian and move from there."

Krune didn't waste any time and went all the way back to the very first form of the Myriad Energies Technique. Since he stopped the creation of the Chaos Meridian, Light Spirit is not absorbing the Elemental Halo anymore. Now that he was free, Krune started to ask several questions while he devised a new extension of the First Form.

As for the Tribulation Lightning Chaos Meridian, Krune dispersed it. He couldn't keep that in an incomplete state for long to start with. But that wasn't a problem. The majority of the Tribulation Lightning Essence that Krune used so far was basically to learn how to create its Chaos Meridian. Now that he went all the way up to near completion, the remaining Halo Powers is more than enough to repeat the process.

Working on the first form wasn't a simple task. That's because the first form would lead to changes in the Second and Third as well. Not only that, but Krune's Fourth Form would need to change a little so that it would work using the new Tenth Meridian as support, which wasn't the case before.

In the end, Krune, Heavin, and Light Spirit worked together in the new forms for another entire month. Eldrin had to even tell the others outside that Krune was fine and seemed to be working in something new.

"Alright, let's give it a try!"

Krune then started from the basics once more. The new Pseudo Meridian started to form. However, it didn't take long for it to break apart. It was to be expected, though. Even when Krune began to use the Myriad Energies Technique for the first time, he constantly failed while creating the normal Pseudo Meridians.

Failure after failure, Krune kept trying to create the new Tribulation Lightning Pseudo Meridian. Heavin and Light Spirit also accompanied the changes, and they would discuss with Krune what went wrong with every try.

Finally, another week later, Krune was successful in creating his first Tenth Pseudo Meridian based on Light Spirit's Tribulation Lightning.

When Light Spirit saw that, he couldn't help but think.

'If he can create a new meridian based on unnatural laws foundation like mine, does that mean that other Laws of the same type can be done like this too?'

As mentioned a long time ago, Light Spirit wasn't the only one to create a personal law separated from the Universe's one. So this possibility was very high.

Krune didn't know anything like that, and even if he knew, it would be useless. After all, it is not like he can find a new law out of nowhere. Besides, he was way too happy with his new Tribulation Lightning Pseudo Meridian to care about that now.

"You can feel excited later. Now comes the hard part, fuse the Nine common Pseudo Meridians with the tenth one to create a totally new Spiritual Meridian. I believe I don't need to tell you that something made using my Tribulation Lightning as a base will not be very welcome of other powers."

Krune's excitement immediately disappeared.

"I know. But I have to make do with what I got."

Krune immediately took out hundreds of Spirit Stones from his Spatial Ring and started the fusion of all ten Pseudo Meridian. Sure enough, the moment that the other nine touched the Tribulation Lightning one, their structure was destroyed almost instantly.

"This... is gonna take some time."

One week, two weeks, three weeks. Time continued to pass while Krune kept failing to bring out a new Spiritual Meridian. But he wasn't sad. From the very start, he knew that it would be really complicated to control the Tribulation Lightning Pseudo Meridian. Still, after an entire month, Krune could already keep the Pseudo Meridians together for a few minutes, at least.

Time didn't wait for anyone. Just like that, Krune spent three entire months trying to fuse the Tribulation Lightning Pseudo Meridian with the other nine common ones.

However, practice makes perfect. Today, Krune's new attempt finally reached a critical conjuncture. All ten Pseudo Meridians were adequately matched, Krune just needed one final push, and the fusion would be completed. Heavin and Light Spirit also noticed that this was the closest that Krune got so far, so even they became somewhat nervous.

"Here goes nothing..."

Krune then forced the last part. It was then that he heard a 'click' sound. The same sound that he heard all the way back when the first Spiritual Meridian was created. That meant that the fusion was finally completed!

However, Krune knew that it wasn't the end. Suddenly, the new Spiritual Meridian seemed to become a hungry beast. Spiritual Energy from everywhere around Krune started to rush into it. No one was surprised by it, though. All of the previous Spiritual Meridians acted the same way as the tenth one.

Krune kept bringing out Spirit Stones. Every single one was at least a Rank 6. Krune already expected the last meridian to absorb a lot more Spiritual Energy than the other nine, but it was still surpassing his expectations.

Krune couldn't help but feel lucky. If he wasn't in Dalin and was swimming in Spirit Stones, he definitely wouldn't be able to feed it. In the end, this thing would even absorb himself. In the past, it did almost happen, and that experience still made Krune feel a chill on his back. It turned out that the new Spiritual Meridian absorbed over a hundred times more Spiritual Energy than the other nine first meridians together!

"Light Spirit, even here this Tribulation Lightning of yours is overbearing."

Light Spirit obviously laughed at that comment.

"Of course, it had to be at least this strong. Otherwise, what would be the point?"

The new Spiritual Energy meridian then settled down and didn't cause any other reaction. Seeing that, Krune, Heavin, and Light Spirit nodded.

"It is just like we thought, it did not evolve into an Elemental Meridian."

Light Spirit also complemented.

"It is the connection with the Elemental Source Energy that causes the evolution. But my Tribulation Lightning doesn't have a connection with that, so it obviously can't evolve through the normal way. Also, this little guy definitely can't be passed down like a bloodline, either."

Krune nodded.

"I agree. However, we need to make it reach the third form, which is the Elemental one. Fortunately, we probably only need one thing."

Krune then summoned his Tenth Spiritual Meridian and used the other nine to bring out Tribulation Lightning Energy. Sure enough, the new Spiritual Meridian immediately started to absorb it like a black hole.

"It is good that it only requires Tribulation Lightning Power and not Essence. Otherwise, we might not have had enough for it."

Krune and Light Spirit can create as much Tribulation Lightning Power as they want. Even if they run out of it, a few hours of rest will be enough to recharge it. That is exactly the type of power that Krune's Tenth Spiritual Meridian needed to evolve into the Elemental State.

Of course, we are talking about a Meridian made using the Purple Tribulation Lightning as a base to start with. So this thing still required Krune to recharge his Tribulation Lightning power over 10 times until it became satisfied. It then passed by the last transformation, which was an automatic process. Now, Krune, Heavin, and Light Spirit were successful in creating the new Purple Tribulation Lightning Elemental Meridian!

"Alright, it is finally time to bring out the Purple Tribulation Lightning Chaos Meridian!"
