Is That A Wisp? Chapter 905
Advertisement
It was a massive stretch of hollowness, with something that looked like a cluster of dots at the very center of it. Though, as the clone began to fall towards them, Krune soon realized they were spheres. Not only that, but these spheres took on a variety of colors.
They were all revolving around a black sphere that was the source of the immense gravitational pull. As the clone closed in towards them, its body began to vaporize. After all, one of the spheres in the cluster emitted blinding radiation.
Within a couple of seconds, the clone was fully vaporized. Nevertheless, Krune wasn't disheartened. Rather, he was surprised. Surprisingly, the spheres were laws, rather pure ones at that. On top of that, they were in an intangible state, influencing the region based on it.
If Krune obtained them, he could comprehend those respective laws faster, way faster than him comprehending the respective laws normally. It was the same thought process regarding what he and Cultivator had talked about before while discussing the law in the hilt.
Though, unlike the one in the hilt, the spheres were just a cluster of laws. The law in the hilt was in its purest form, which meant it was a product of a God. The difference between them was like heaven and earth.
Then again, that also meant that the spheres posed less risk for him. He could comprehend them without getting killed. After all, he would be able to defend against them while using the chance to understand them better.
'But, I first need to find an exit,' Krune thought as he stood in silence, digesting everything the clone had experienced. He then shot his eyes open, muttering with a smile, "The gravity I feel is thanks to that sphere of gravity in the center. It seems that the direction I thought of as up was actually pointed towards the center."
He sensed how the lava had formed a ring around the vacuum and how the various spheres revolved around the black sphere. In the vacuum, the gravity was directed towards the center. But in the region of lava, it was pointed in the opposite direction. He didn't know how something like that was possible, deciding to attribute it to one of the laws in the numerous spheres.
He only managed to determine the sphere of fire and gravity before his clone vaporized.
"Hmm...if I proceed in this direction, I'll reach the exit," Krune thought out loud as the clone proceeding vertically downward sped forth, eventually coming face to face with a sea of lava again. Though, Krune wasn't flustered this time.
Rather, the clone protected itself using a Godly Energy barrier and took on the form of a whale-type demon beast, quickly proceeding through the lava as its Godly Energy was siphoned off at a tremendous rate.

Along the way, the clone came across numerous rocks of various sizes floating on the surface. It looked around, noticing the place Krune was in was a massive rock. There were similar-sized rocks in the sea of lava.
Moreover, it seemed that the sea of lava the other clone had encountered was something that existed within the rock Krune was in. The moment he realized that, Krune was stunned for a moment before laughing. "I see, I see, so these are the treasures accompanied with risks."
Within the sea of lava stretching as far as the eye could see, there existed rocks—the size of small continents—scattered all over it, submerged at varying depths. And then, the center of the rocks was another sea of lava. Finally, at its dead center was a space of vacuum, wherein its center had spheres formed by a cluster of laws.
These spheres were the treasures. Anyone who obtained them would experience a massive boost in strength. Unfortunately, the task was difficult as the entire lava seemed to be organisms similar to viruses. The moment they absorbed Godly Energy, they would come to life and attack the Godly Energy source to steal more Godly Energy from it.
Even with tremendous preparations, one might still end up losing all Godly Energy before ending up as a withered husk. After that, they would either be melted by the lava or be trapped in between the rocks for all eternity. As long as they weren't immortal, they would quickly die in such a state.
Time passed in this manner as the clone began to run out of Godly Energy. It was constantly using the Balance Laws to propel itself forward at tremendous speeds. Its body had taken considerable damage. Though, in order to conserve the Godly Energy that would be consumed to heal itself, the clone pressed forth in its injured state.
Fortunately, it could see the end after quite some time. Though, just when its head peeked out of the sea of lava, it had expended all its Godly Energy. Its barrier disappeared as it caught up with fire, quickly burning out. But in the one second it managed to look out, Krune determined that it was indeed safe beyond that since he could see quite a few floating islands in the air. As long as he could reach the floating islands, he would be able to take some rest.
"This place is incredibly dangerous. If I didn't possess a Spiritual Incarnation, I would have died. Wouldn't everyone else die straight up?" Krune frowned as he muttered to himself, wondering if the God who had created the Sub-Realm was someone who took enjoyment at the death of others.

He then thought that it might not be the case. As a God, he would have been alive for way too long. Even if he had been a bloodthirsty individual, after witnessing the same thing countless times, he might have lost all interest in the act of killing.
So, the cause shouldn't be that. Krune had a hunch everyone was dropped in a dangerous area depending on their ability to handle them. Those with a Spiritual Incarnation were dropped at incredibly dangerous places to offset their advantages.
After all, something dangerous to a normal cultivator wouldn't even be a threat to a cultivator possessing a Spiritual Incarnation. That might have been the reason Krune was transported to a place as dangerous as this.
After confirming this, the remaining two clones returned to the chamber as Krune hatched a plan. As for the two fragments that had been controlling the clones that were killed, they mysteriously reappeared in his subspace.
Unsurprisingly, he had the laws of space form a part of his Spiritual Incarnation due to the laws he had chosen encompassing all laws in existence. As for Little Krune, he was a mysterious existence, something that was real but not at the same time. Since he was part of Krune's Spiritual Incarnation, it couldn't die. It simply revived in his subspace. Moreover, it didn't even need any Godly Energy to do so.
Krune thought for a moment, focusing on the subspace as he willed, watching it disappear from his Wisp Core. It then appeared in the Wisp Core of one of the clones. It hadn't suffered any damage in doing so.
It seemed that when he wished to transport the subspace, it turned intangible, just like the laws in their empirical form. It would then vanish from his Wisp Core and appear in the same place, but in the body of a clone.
With a thought, it vanished from it and appeared in the Wisp Core of another clone. It followed the same principle as to how Little Krune's fragments moved. After all, when Krune revived, he revived with his subspace.
He had been wondering about that all along. Because in his death, the subspace should have been destroyed. And when he revived, the subspace should have been a dot, a blank space, the same as the one that appeared when he first formed it.
But that didn't happen. The subspace was still there with the same items he had placed in them, in the exact positions. It hadn't experienced any changes, as if the only one that had died was only him. As his Spiritual Incarnation hadn't been damaged, it wasn't damaged either.
Upon noticing the Laws of Cause and Effect, Krune began to think through this line of thought, wondering if it was possible. And now that he had confirmed it, Krune was a lot more confident than usual.
He then thought of an idea, wondering if it would be possible to send the subspace to the Little Krune fragment in the Lawless Plains. Sadly, the Calamity Laws instantly warned him of the danger in such an action.
As he closed his eyes to ponder on it, Krune realized the cause was the powerful spatial barrier shrouding the Sub-Realm. Trying to transport past it would damage his Spiritual Incarnation to a crippling level.
There was almost a guaranteed chance his subspace would be destroyed completely by it. His understanding of the laws of space and his authority over it hadn't exceeded the creator of the Sub-Realm. Only when he was on the same level as the other party would Krune be able to achieve something like that.
Krune then thought about the method to steal those spheres. Moreover, he wondered as to how he would store them, in the likelihood he did manage to get them.
To experiment, he sent a clone towards the space of vacuum once again. But this time, it was carrying the subspace with it. Realizing how he could switch places of the subspace in an instant, just like his shared thoughts, Krune wasn't afraid it would be damaged.
Every now and then, a Pseudo-Wisp exited the subspace whenever necessary and completely refilled the Godly Energy reserves of the clone. With that, it easily managed to reach the vacuum, beginning to head towards the center where the spheres were.
The Godly Energy expenditure was tremendous as the clone had to resist damage from the sphere of fire in the center. Unwilling to be hasty, the clone used its own version of the laws of gravity, reducing its falling speed towards the center.
This way, Krune had enough time to determine which laws were among the spheres. He planned to formulate a plan to take them accordingly. First, he tried to see if he could store them in a storage ring. If that failed, he wanted to see if storing them in his subspace was possible.
There were numerous risks in this plan, but this was the only way he knew where he could understand more about his abilities. With that, Krune was eager to try it out.
