Inside the dome-shaped chamber, 100 swirling vortexes that were absorbing Godly Energy nonstop could be seen. Also, at the very center of those vortexes was a vortex that was at least thrice their size. This vortex was actually Krune, creating an opening to his subspace as he siphoned Godly Energy into it.
Based on his understanding, the subspace was a small dot in reality situated inside his Wisp Core. Then again, regardless of how big it was, it would still exist as a dot in reality. In short, the entrance to it was actually just a pinhole.
Krune used his understanding of spatial laws to create a portal that connected to the pinhole. This acted as a doorway for the Godly Energy to flow into the subspace at a faster pace.
Krune and Little Krune cultivated as they simultaneously comprehended every law that made up the subspace, intending to increase its size.
The laws making up the subspace worked like the framework of a cage, something capable of housing things within. When Godly Energy was added to the subspace, the laws would absorb them and manifest their respective effects. The laws related to fire would create heat and flames upon absorbing Godly Energy. The laws related to earth would form land, the laws related to gravity would allow items and beings in the subspace to have their own weight, while the laws of water and life would give rise to vitality.
All these laws slowly but surely made the subspace resemble an actual, stable world. Adding the fact that the foundation of the subspace was the Balance and Calamity Law, laws that comprised of all laws, the subspace resembled the God Realm in structural integrity and development.
Then again, if he wished to create something on the scale of the God Realm, even reaching the peak of cultivation would be insufficient. With that in mind, it made him wonder how Zule was able to pull it off, given how he was one of the beings that created the realms.
Krune continued to comprehend the laws as he cultivated, slowly feeling that his cultivation base was about to increase once again. Little Krune, on the other hand, was breezing through the stages of cultivation.
Well, it would happen sooner or later, given how there was an abundance of Godly Energy with the purity of Rank Three God Stones. Surprisingly, while cultivating, Krune realized that the energy gathering formation was still gathering Godly Energy. Not only that, but it was actually becoming more and more condensed.
After all, it encompassed just too wide of an area. So, even though it was only siphoning a small fraction of the Godly Energy from the surroundings to ensure no cultivator would be able to detect that Godly Energy was being absorbed, the quantity being absorbed was still tremendous.
After all, Krune, Little Krune, the absorption of the Godly Energy by the subspace, and even his 100 Pseudo-Wisps combined, were unable to absorb enough Godly Energy to balance it out. So, as time passed, the quantity and quality of Godly Energy within the dome-shaped structure was still increasing.
'Just how awesome is this place?' Krune sighed in wonder, for it was just too amazing. Even at full strength, Krune was unable to make a dent in its Godly Energy. The energy gathering formation was just that vast.
Within a few hours, Little Krune had broken through another stage in the Godly Fusion Realm. After that, it headed for the peak of the Godly Fusion Realm before breaking through into the First Stage God Foundation Realm. Its speed became a tad slower after this.
Krune took a bit more than a month of cultivating using Rank Two God Stones to go from the First Stage to the Second Stage of the God Foundation Realm. Considering the quality of Godly Energy in the area, his current cultivation speed was at least six times faster than when he used Rank Two God Stones.
Moreover, the dense Godly Energy pressured him as it pressed down from all sides. So, the moment it noticed an outlet, it would pour into it. This sheer density caused another spike in his cultivation speed.
Surprisingly, Krune had to block the influx of Godly Energy since it was too much for him to handle at times, despite him possessing the Godly Meridians. Then again, it was more of a good problem rather than a bad one. Since his cultivation base progressed through the ranks, Krune's Godly Meridians would become stronger as well, allowing it to support a greater flow of Godly Energy.
Two weeks later, Krune had reached the Third Stage of the God Foundation Realm. It was incomparably fast. As for Little Krune, it had already reached the Second Stage of the God Foundation Realm by now. The moment it did so, Krune realized that his earlier conjecture was actually correct.
Little Krune was able to fragment itself into two now. Of course, after splitting up for a while, it went ahead and fused itself back into one whole. After all, the moment it fragmented itself, it wouldn't be able to raise its cultivation.
Only when it was whole was it capable of doing so.
When fragmented, it was able to control the other Pseudo-Wisps and make them work, but that was it. This small limitation was the reason Krune was unable to multitask when cultivating. The only multitasking he was able to do while cultivating was comprehending the laws.
Nevertheless, it was still a tremendous advantage, the likes of which no other cultivator might possess. At least, based on what he had seen till now.
All the Pseudo-Wisps had reached the First Stage of the God Foundation Realm by now in terms of quantity and quality of Godly Energy. In fact, they were getting close to reaching the Second Stage of the God Foundation Realm.
As he expanded his senses, Krune noticed how the Godly Energy was still increasing without any problem. As their cultivation bases increased, the rate at which they siphoned Godly Energy also increased. Nevertheless, they still failed to make a dent in the Godly Energy pulled in by the energy gathering formation.
"I presume this was most likely made for a cultivator at the Ninth Stage Nascent God Realm to prepare for their heavenly tribulation. Even then, this formation is going overboard. Or maybe the demon beasts in the Lawless Plains had other plans in motion. Well, unfortunately for them, before they could see it come to fruition, they were all slaughtered by the Zamuria Empire's army," Krune muttered as he focused on the energy-gathering formation.
The laws in his body fluctuated as subtle changes happened in his Land Incarnation, causing it to mimic an energy gathering formation. Moreover, this wasn't a formation that could be activated or deactivated upon will, but something unleashed by a Land Incarnation.
This was the difference between a domain and a Land Incarnation. A domain just unleashed a concept around a cultivator. When they retracted their domain, it would vanish. As for Land Incarnations, it was different.
A Land Incarnation carved the laws of their spiritual incarnation on the land surrounding them by pushing the native laws away. So, unless they were actively attacked by another cultivator using their Spiritual Incarnation, the piece of land would function according to the effect of the Land Incarnation…permanently.
All the danger zones were, one way or another, Land Incarnations. Most of them appeared when a cultivator with a Spiritual Incarnation was killed in the area. They then unleashed their Land Incarnation/Heavenly Incarnation in hopes of reviving one day.
Thanks to the subtle change in Krune's Land Incarnation, the laws in the area turned into something resembling an energy gathering formation. This immediately increased the rate of Godly Energy being siphoned.
For a moment, Krune was slightly afraid that the commotion would alert any individual moving above ground. After all, the one who had set up this energy gathering formation had taken great measures to ensure the rate of energy being siphoned wouldn't be obvious to any cultivator moving above ground, even if they were at the Semi-God Realm or higher.
With an increase in the rate of energy being siphoned, it would gradually become obvious. Cultivators would realize that something was up in the area, even if they were unable to sense the energy-gathering formation.
And, if they investigated, there was a chance they would stumble upon the dome-shaped chamber. Thankfully for Krune, the command from the Zamuria Empire made everyone head towards the capital. So, there wasn't a chance anyone would be roaming the desolate wilds and put themselves at risk.
After all, it was a time of war. And unless they were idiots, they would be in hiding, cultivating while hoping they don't get dragged into the war. In short, the chances of someone stumbling upon the chamber were almost non-existent.
Nevertheless, Krune didn't want to risk anything.
As he inspected his Land Incarnation, he heaved a sigh of relief. He was able to deactivate the energy-gathering effect. Well, it would take him quite a long time to do so. After all, he had to erase it.
Even then, traces of it would still be left. At least, he was able to ensure the rate of Godly Energy being siphoned wouldn't increase. It took him an entire day of manipulation before Krune was able to do so, heaving a sigh of relief when the influx of Godly Energy had returned to normal.
He also took out the brooch that was gifted to him by the Spirit Awakener Guild before beginning to work on awakening its spirit. Despite using the Mind Splitting Technique, it was difficult to work on three different things, each of which were complex concepts on their own. His mind was unable to bear such a load.
Thankfully for him, Little Krune shared half of the load as they worked together in conjunction to awaken the spirit of the brooch. This way, Krune was steadily able to increase his strength.
Time passed in such a fashion. Before long, four months had passed. Krune reached the Sixth Stage of the God Foundation Realm and was close to reaching the Seventh Stage. Little Krune was also at the Sixth Stage of the God Foundation Realm and was only a couple of days behind Krune from reaching the Seventh Stage of the God Foundation Realm.
'We'll have to depart soon,' Krune thought as he reached the Seventh Stage God Foundation Realm. A couple of days later, Little Krune had reached the same stage.
His subspace now had a volume slightly surpassing four cubic meters.
"I can't leave such a useful area behind," Krune smiled while muttering as he took out his blacksmithing tools from his storage space, setting it up for something he wished to build next. It wasn't something he was able to create four months ago. But now, he had the confidence to do so.
Inside the dome-shaped chamber, 100 swirling vortexes that were absorbing Godly Energy nonstop could be seen. Also, at the very center of those vortexes was a vortex that was at least thrice their size. This vortex was actually Krune, creating an opening to his subspace as he siphoned Godly Energy into it.
