Krune and Feifei were taken aback by the mention of that place's name.

'No wonder Joty told us about the dark thread connected on us.'

​​

Feifei nodded.

'Since we were going to come here to negotiate for the Ownerless Heavenly Fragment, the mentioning of the Soren Ruins was bound to appear.'

'Indeed. In any other circumstances, we might really have gone to Soren to check things out. After all, we could both check the thing about my Master's Element Regulation Technique and also find this Heavenly Fragment's owner.'

'However, we now know that we shouldn't get close to that place. At least, not at this point in time.'

In the end, Feifei and Krune nodded at each other before looking back at the Holy Seer.

"Thank you for the information, Holy Seer. But we don't have the time to pass by the Soren Ruins at the moment. I'll leave a way for you to contact me, so let me know if the owner of the Fragment comes back."

The Holy Seer didn't seem to mind and simply nodded.

"Very well. I won't entertain you two anymore, so you might leave on your own. Of course, our Sufrot Universe welcomes you to stay if you wish so. As long as you follow the rules, you are welcome."

Feifei and Krune nodded but shook their heads.

"Maybe another time. Farewell, Senior Holy Seer."

Krune and Feifei then held each other's hands before opening a Spatial Gate. Soon after, the two disappeared from the Holy Seer's sight.

"Sigh... Sorry, Fura. I tried to give you some help, but it didn't work. Our Sufrot Universe can't spend any forces to find you. I hope you can come back on your own."

The Holy Seer then turned around and returned to his seclusion.

Somewhere close to the Universe Barrier of the Sufrot Universe, a Spatial Gate appeared. Following that, Krune and Feifei came out before the Spatial Gate closed behind them.

"Do you think they had a plan against us?"

Feifei shook her head.

"I don't know. The Holy Seer didn't try to hold us back or insist that we should go to the Soren Ruins, so it's hard to say."

Feifei then looked at the Universe Barrier before smiling.

"Anyway, we are not going there, so let's focus on the next fragment. Where is the next Heavenly Fragment Located?"

Krune quickly accessed the information he got from Cinty.

"The next stop is the Vintei Universe. Surprisingly, there are two powers there that have Ownerless Heavenly Fragments. However, those two seem to be at odds with each other."

Feifei shrugged her shoulders.

"Well, it's pretty much like how the Sacred Lands of our Luvile Universe act. It's nothing new."

Krune laughed and nodded. Feifei couldn't be more correct.

"Alright, let's go!"

Meanwhile, in the Soren Ruins.

This was not a separated Dimensional Realm. Still, it was not on a planet either. Instead, it was found right in outer space. There was a difference, though. The Soren Ruins was located outside of the galaxies' range. There was no such thing as planets or suns anywhere close to it. The only light source was the stars from galaxies who knew how many millions of light-years away they were.

Still, it was a place visited quite often by Divinity Realm cultivators, especially those close to their Ascension Tribulation. They usually came to this place to find treasures that could help them surpass their Tribulation.

As mentioned before, Soren Ruins was very dangerous even to those levels of cultivators and demon beasts. Nonetheless, it wasn't as difficult as the ascension tribulation. One must remember that the average number of cultivators and demon beasts that succeed in it is just around 1%! It was many times worth venturing in the Soren Ruins. After all, you might find some treasure that will drastically improve your chances of crossing your Tribulation.

Fura Tuvio just so happened to be one of those cultivators and demon beasts. She was already in the Peak of the Divinity Realm and held her cultivation back to prepare for the Tribulation. In the end, she did find a few treasures during her life that would improve her chances. Still, it was far from enough, in her opinion. That's why she entered the Soren Ruins.

The Soren Ruins was really a gigantic place. It had the size of several Solar Systems alone. The most incredible part was that it was full of ruins. They all floated in mid-space and were held together by some kind of force that no one knew about. Until today, the full extension of the area hasn't been investigated yet, especially in the Core Region.

However, some time ago, the Soren Ruins began to show some signs that something was happening inside. That attracted the attention of many cultivators and demon beasts. Because of that, the number of people and beasts coming here increased several times.

Fura wasn't one of those, though. She had entered this place many years before this started to happen. That's why the Holy Seer wanted to have someone to check it. Unfortunately, the Divinity Realm cultivators he sent also didn't come back, so he gave up and tried to lead Krune inside.

He wasn't lying, though. Fura was indeed the owner of the Ownerless Heavenly Fragment. Not to mention that he really wouldn't trade it without her permission. That was just his way of trying to get some help for her now that they can't risk sending more Divinity Realm forces inside.

There wasn't really an entrance for the Soren Ruins. One could approach it through almost any side. So there wasn't really a good way of locking it down either. Besides, if the Palom Universe tried to keep it only for themselves, they would incur the rage of many other cultivators and demon beasts from outside, so they kept it open.

Somewhere outside this Soren Ruins, a Spatial Gate suddenly appeared. From inside, a phoenix-like puppet came out together with a young man. The puppet looked in the direction of the Soren Ruins and then into a small glass tube in front of him.

"Liriu, it seems like this is the place."

The puppet just so happened to be Heavin! After Krune opened a hole in the Dalin Universe Protection Formation, that hole kept open for a few days due to Luvile's Power. Still, since no one knew that it was opened, no one found it in the end.

However, Heavin used that same hole to go out before it closed.

Back when Heavin was analyzing the Dark Water Krune gave him, he wasn't making much progress. However, just as Krune opened the Dalin Universe Protection Formation hole, Heavin noticed that the direction the water moved changed. One must remember that the Dark Water always tried to move to the place with the most concentration of Dark Water. Distance made no difference as long as it is in the same realm.

Heavin didn't know why, but Dalin's Protection Formation seemed to have been blocking that connection. That's why the change only appeared once Krune opened the hole in the barrier to leave. Heavin, obviously, told the others that he would be going out to investigate. The Soul Cultivation Technique was his creation, so the others knew that it was important for him. That being said, no one tried to stop him. Not to mention that the Soul Control Realm was already more than strong enough to allow one to control Spiritual Energy and Space Laws to move around.

After Heavin came out of Dalin, he didn't contact Krune. That's because he knew that Krune would be busy with his marriage and other things. Heavin decided that he might as well investigate things on his own first. It's just that Heavin took way too long until finally finding the source of the attraction. Naturally, it was the Soren Ruins.

After that, he went to the Luvile Universe but found out that Feifei and Krune had already left to look for the Heavenly Fragments. Still, Liriu and the others remained there to pass their time. After pondering a bit, he decided to not bother Krune and Feifei before inviting Liriu instead. Other than Krune, Liriu was definitely the strongest in Krune's group thanks to his Dracophoenix Bloodline.

Liriu, of course, was more than happy to go out to explore.

Fie's family was paying a visit to the Makui Planet, so Liriu didn't bother them either. He only told Tiane and Ruik that he would be going out to help Heavin. Liriu was more than strong enough to defend himself, so Tiane and Ruik didn't mind and let him go. They would then tell Krune and Feifei about it when they came back.

Liriu then looked at Heavin before asking.

"Are you sure you want to enter without telling Krune? He doesn't even know you left Dalin, right?"

Heavin shrugged his Phoenix Putter shoulders.

"Why bother them? Those two had been separated for a very long time. Let them enjoy each other for a while. Could it be that the Dracophoenix is afraid of this place?"

Liriu laughed in response to that question.

"Hahaha! Of course not. Still, your information said that this place is dangerous even to Peak Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beasts, right?"

Heavin nodded.

"Yeah. However, that is only considering ordinary Divinity Realm cultivators. Other than Krune, do you think there is anyone who can beat you in a one-on-one fight?"

Heavin shook his head.

"I don't know. I'm not arrogant enough to claim that I'm invincible under Krune's level. However, even if there are, the number of those who can beat me is few and far between."

Heavin nodded.

"There you go. Anyway, time to go check what is inside. Something tells me that my breakthrough in Mental Energy cultivation lies inside."

Liriu sighed but nodded in the end. Just like that, the two entered the Soren Ruins together.
