Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 1166: Brenker’s Intuition

“Thankfully, the fourth level is a pretty massive place. It won’t be possible for him to kill everyone so easily.” Krune thought of a solution immediately, returning to his wisp form as he retracted his ethereal form. 

He then condensed the Cloud Whale around him, making it as tiny as possible before he flew into the fourth level. 

The moment he entered, Krune felt pain from his Wisp Core as his Godly Energy turned sluggish. However, using his Mental Energy to shield himself, he made the Cloud Whale undetectable. 

In the meantime, the healing effect reduced his pain to a fair extent, causing him to endure the sensation while the Cloud Whale moved through the fourth level, heading towards one corner, continuing to suffer while he kept track of the situation through his Sonic Radar. 

Though, upon seeing that Brenker was able to notice the waves of Sonic Radar, he stopped using it, heading towards another location.

Brenker was heading from the end of the fourth level, slaughtering his way through the place. He intended to make a clean swipe of the place and eradicate all living beings. 

Among the ones that managed to reach the sixth level, he was the only one living right now. In fact, the quality of his Godly Energy had already surpassed a Semi-God Realm cultivator. Adding on the depth of his laws, he was unstoppable, killing all his enemies in one hit. 

Those that managed to break the inhibition on the fourth level managed to last a couple of hits against him before dying. As for the rest whose Godly Energy was sluggish, they were sitting ducks for him to kill. 

Upon seeing the ensuing slaughter, those that broke through the inhibition hurriedly erupted with all their power to escape from the place, heading towards the lower levels. 

Since his task was only to clear the Godly Inhibition Tower of all living beings, he didn’t bother with those that fled. But for the rest, only death awaited them.

Having watched his actions, Krune was aware of one thing. ‘This is a peerless treasure that would benefit me throughout my cultivation. No way in hell am I going to let him take it.’

Since it wasn’t anyone’s property, that meant it was free for grabs. The victor was the one who would obtain it in the end. 

While Brenker continued to kill the cultivators on the fourth level, Krune calmly moved while being shielded by his Mental Energy. Thankfully for him, he was situated way beyond Brenker’s detection methods. 

Moreover, since his Godly Energy was currently inhibited, he didn’t even leave any Godly Energy signature behind. So, it wasn’t possible for his opponent to track Krune for the time being. 

He used the effect of the place to his advantage, soon approaching the end of the fourth level. He remained there after that, continuing to meditate while Brenker had reached the halfway point of the fourth level by now.

At this time, he encountered an obstacle where all the cultivators that had seen his actions had banded together. 

After all, he had been slaughtering his way for the past one week. It was about time for the news to reach those that were safe and far away. 

Once they all broke through the inhibition of the place, they ganged up, intending to destroy the threat. 

After all, even without news of the tower becoming one’s private property, this was still a tremendously beneficial place. After all, the higher the floor they proceeded, the stronger their Godly Energy became. 

Once they reached the fifth level, their Godly Energy would become on par with Semi-God Realm cultivators. Even though it would be tremendously hard, with the possibility of death being high due to the increase in the inhibition power, those that were talented would still be able to grow stronger. 

After all, who wouldn’t like the notion of being able to possess Godly Energy quality on par with Semi-God Realm cultivators while remaining as a Nascent God?

As Brenker hadn’t exactly been tight-lipped about it, a lot of people indeed came to know about the reason for his slaughter. 

The final person to remain within the tower would become its owner. 

This was enough for a lot of people to ally themselves together. After all, at present, Brenker was the most terrifying opponent. Once he was killed, it would mean the rest of them would stand a chance at the tower’s ownership. 

This was the reason for them allying together. The moment Brenker came into their view, all of them unleashed attacks one after another, instantly putting him in a passive. 

After all, he wished to conserve his Godly Energy as much as possible. In fact, his opponents weren’t easy for picking either. They had been preparing against him, as countless cultivators with similar abilities allied, joining their powers together. 

“Hmm…” Brenker frowned, thinking that something was amiss. He was feeling some sense of tension, or rather a foreboding that something unexpected was happening. It was his intuition that had allowed him to reach almost the peak of the world. 

“Did someone escape my senses?” He frowned, intending to check back once he was done with the people fighting him. 

As for Krune, he was focusing by riling up his Mental Energy and the energy of the body, causing it to flow through his meridians before turning into Godly Energy, increasing its pressure while hacking into the inhibition little by little. 

Normally, it would have taken even him around a year to break through the inhibition at the fourth level. After all, he was only at the God-Core Realm, while the fourth level was meant for those at the Nascent God Realm. 

He should have been slower than others. But, thanks to his robust physique, his meridians were tremendously stronger compared to other cultivators. Thanks to that, he was able to resist the inhibition effect better.

And now, while his other two energies were supporting his Godly Energy, Krune grinned, using the healing effect to heal the damage to the meridians while also causing the development effect to strengthen them further, using this as a chance to refine his meridians and Godly Energy into a stronger version of itself. 

Unlike others that passively obtained this benefit while trying to break free from the inhibition effect, Krune was actively using it to increase his power. 

Brenker’s intuition had been correct.
