Although Krune spent most of his time cultivating together with Feifei, he also appeared in the kitchen every once in a while. After all, he also loved eating and cooking. Naturally, Nina tried to make her moves on Krune, only to be blocked by Feifei, who seemed to predict her every move. Well, she did have the ability to predict them, though...
And just like that, three years went by in a flash. Thanks to the Godly Path Realm's laws, Krune and Feifei zoomed through the various levels of the Transformation Realm. In just three years, they were already in the 3rd stage. Of course, the higher they got, the longer it took. That's why Krune said he expected it to take around 20 years to reach the peak of the Transformation Realm.
Of course, Krune, Feifei, and Iem didn't just stay in the restaurant cultivating. They also went out to the war zone between the sects in the Top Quality Godly Energy Veins. Although Zule had left the place, the veins were still there. As one could imagine, the fight between the three sects to vie control over the veins continued during these past few years.
Fortunately for the Sky Shifting Sect, Zule's departing gift had helped the sect a lot, so they had constantly been gaining the upper hand. Before, the region was more or less shared between the three, barely undergoing any change. Now, the Sky Shifting Sect had occupied almost half of the Godly Veins while the other two shared the rest.
However, the Sky Shifting Sect's glory days stopped there. Seeing that they were being pushed back, the Three Peaks and the Flower River Sects joined hands to defend their positions. With that, the two sides reached a stalemate.
Feifei, Krune, and Iem used this fight between sects to battle as well. After all, only cultivating isn't really beneficial in the long run since you had to control your power. Of course, Luvile was an exception. He already knew his power very well, so he could just cultivate without any breaks. In fact, he was several times faster than Feifei, Krune, and Iem due to him already knowing every step in his cultivation path.
One must remember that the Dimensional Realms around the Top Quality Godly Veins disappeared after Zule left, so anyone could get close to it now. That made things much easier.
However, this stalemate between the three sects wouldn't last long...
Out of nowhere, Tribulation Clouds began to gather above the Sky Shifting Sect. In less than an instant, everyone noticed the changes happening there. That's because those Tribulation Clouds extended for thousands of kilometers. Not only did everyone in the Sky Shifting Sect witness it, but even the two other sects also obtained information regarding the clouds straight away.
"What? Tribulation Clouds expanding for thousands of kilometers?! Are you sure?"
"That can't be! This is many times bigger than the tribulation clouds brought by the God Core Realm!"
"Investigate! No, forget it. I'm going out to check it by myself."
The Sky Shifting Sect's plan had worked out in the end. They kept the fact that they got those resources a secret, leaving Rag, the Sect Master's husband, assiduously cultivating on his own. He was already at the Peak of the God Core Realm back then. After receiving the resources left behind by Zule, he had finally reached the point where he could achieve a breakthrough.
The leaders of the Three Peaks and their other God Core Realm elders immediately went to the Sky Shifting Sect. Of course, Franlia and Tosely came out to receive them.
"Oh, if it isn't the Flower River and the Three Peaks Sects' Masters. I don't think it's a good idea to pay a visit to us since we're supposed to be in a war against each other, right?"
Aragan narrowed his eyes as he replied.
"Wait a second... If Franlia and Tosely are here, then who's undergoing a breakthrough?"
Sure enough, no one knew about Rag. Franlia had always kept him as a hidden weapon, which seemed to be working out for him. However, it would be basically impossible to do that anymore. That being said, Franlia smiled at them before saying.
"Oh! Don't worry, that's just my husband. He encountered a bit of luck some time ago, and he's now going through his Nascent God Tribulation."
Aragan and Binmia were taken aback.
"Husband? What husband? You're not even married."
Franlia and Tosely could not help but laugh out loud after hearing that.
"Wrong! I do have a husband. I just never told anyone about it. Just so you know, I even have a son. Of course, I made sure that you wouldn't find out about it either. Now, be good little sect masters and head back. There's nothing for you to do here."
Binmia's expression turned grim after hearing that. Their planet didn't have any Nascent God Realm cultivator or demon beast. If one suddenly appeared, it would break the power balance. The Sky Shifting Sect wasn't the strongest sect on the planet at the moment. It was only average at best. However, once a Nascent God Realm cultivator appeared in it, then the tables would immediately change.
'Aragan, we need to stop it! We have to kill that guy while he's being targeted by the Tribulation!'
Aragan nodded, replying.
'I know! There's no time to waste. Let's go!'
Binmia, Aragan, and their two God Core Realm elders didn't waste time with words, immediately attacking. However, Franlia and Tosely were already expecting that to happen.
"Activate the formation!"
*Tzzzzzzzz...*
*Bang, boom, boom...*
Within the very next moment, a translucent barrier had covered the entire sect. Obviously, Binmia and Aragan's attacks were stopped by it.
"No need to rush. Just keep us company a little more, and everything will be over. What do you think?"
Binmia looked at the barrier in front of them before saying.
"Do you think your barrier can stop the relentless attack of four God Core Realm cultivators and demon beasts?"
Franlia and Tosely shook their heads as Franlia replied.
"Of course not. However, we don't need to stop you. Just holding you back here is enough."
*Kabrum!*
Just as she was finished speaking, the first Tribulation Lightning came crashing down, hitting something at the back of the sect. The power of the bolt was so great that it made Binmia and Aragan tremble in fear for a moment. However, that was good news for them.
'Continue attacking. As long as we intervene in that Tribulation, that guy will most likely die. As for the rest, we can think about it later.'
Aragan and Binmia nodded in response and immediately restarted their attacks against the formation barrier. However, it was at this moment that Tosely and Franlia left the formation and attacked as well. It was a 4 vs. 2, so Binmia, Aragan, and the other two elders didn't think they would come out at the top.
"You're courting death!"
However, Franlia and Tosely didn't try to engage in all-out combat. Instead, they immediately retreated as soon as they attacked. They weren't idiotic enough to seriously fight when they were at such a disadvantage. Their objective was to simply hold their enemies back.
Binmia and Aragan's group were fuming with rage after realizing that. Sure enough, if they focused their attacks on the formation barrier, Franlia and Tosely would come out and target their weak spots. They couldn't target all four at once, but holding back two of them was more than enough.
"Fuck!"
*Kabrum, kabrum, kabrum!*
Tribulation Lightning Bolts fell down one after the other while that fight in front of the sect happened. Eventually, Binmia and Aragan noticed that they wouldn't make it in time. No, they wouldn't even be able to destroy the formation before the Tribulation was over. Unfortunately, they had already run out of options. They were already using their strongest attacks every time they found a gap in Franlia and Tosely's harassment. However, it just wasn't enough.
After some time, a Tribulation Lightning stronger than any other so far came down after a long pause. That was the last bolt, which was always much stronger than any previous bolt.
Everything went silent after that. Did Franlia's husband succeed? Did he die? They weren't able to intervene in the Tribulation, but that didn't mean that the guy would successfully overcome it.
However, the answer came out just a few seconds later. Godly Energy began to gather around the Sky Shifting Sect like a torrential storm. All of it rushed into the same point as a bright light came down from the heavens.
Binmia and Aragan's forces bitterly smiled at that sight. They would be stupid to not understand what was happening. Besides, they could feel the enormous power that was coming from that direction. It wasn't the type of power that a God Core Realm cultivator or demon beast could exert.
"Let's leave."
Binmia and Aragan immediately turned around and dashed away with their elders. However...
"Since you've come, why don't you stay for a cup of tea? This old man here is quite skilled when it comes to Spiritual Food."
Binmia and Aragan couldn't even go further than a few hundred meters before a man they had never seen before appeared in front of them. Although his tone was relaxed, his appearance was far from that. His clothes were torn and burnt everywhere, leaving him almost naked. His hair was disheveled, with many injuries all over his body.
However, that didn't make Binmia and Aragan feel any better. The power emanating from him made them understand that they were not his match even in that condition. Of course, that didn't mean they would surrender.
"Since it has come to this, I might as well go all out."
"Indeed. It's better than just waiting for death. If we still stand a chance, it's at this moment where he's severely injured."
"Once he recovers, as the only Nascent God Realm cultivator of the planet, it won't be long before everyone has to follow the Sky Shifting Sect's rules. We can't allow that."
Binmia, Aragan, and the other two God Core elders began to release their Energy and even burn some of their life essence. They were truly ready to die in this place. However, Rag looked at them with a puzzled expression.
"The only Nascent God Realm of this planet? What are you talking about? There is another one as well, you know?"
"What?!"
Everyone was taken aback. Even Franlia and Tosely were left at a loss for words. Another one? How come they didn't know about it?
Rag then waved his hands, showing that he had no intention to fight whatsoever.
"Alright, let's finish it here. We're making a fool of ourselves in front of our guest, you know?"
Binmia and Aragan's forces wondered if Rag was just trying to buy time to recover. After all, the longer they waited, the worse it will become. However, as soon as Rag said those words, a laugh came from somewhere in mid-air. Soon after that, space was torn apart as a figure came out of there.
"So you noticed me, huh? Guess it can't be helped since we are at the same level."
In an instant, everyone recognized that man.
"Reril!"
It was Reril, the Energy Sect's Sect Master. On top of that, a True Spirit.
Although Krune spent most of his time cultivating together with Feifei, he also appeared in the kitchen every once in a while. After all, he also loved eating and cooking. Naturally, Nina tried to make her moves on Krune, only to be blocked by Feifei, who seemed to predict her every move. Well, she did have the ability to predict them, though...
