Chapter 1364 Krunes Original Creation: Hunger Law!
"Begin!" Zamura announced before disappearing from his location.
The tension in the arena increased immediately, but none moved from their position. After all, this wasn't a one-on-one battle but a free-for-all war. Even if they were strong individually, they could easily be drowned by attacks from everyone here.
And most of all, the cultivators here formed the cream of the crop of the Mountain Sect's second generation. In other words, they had inherited powerful abilities from their seniors that now encompassed the Elders of the Mountain Sect.
Plus, that wasn't all. They had also learned body and soul cultivation. So, their attacks would be incredibly complex. It was especially true for their soul cultivation techniques involving Mental Energy.
The best example that served as their reference material was Krune's actions in the Celestial Battlefield, where he instigated infighting among the army from the three continents for eight years.
That was a tremendous feat, and using that as a source, more techniques related to Mental Energy were derived.
All in all, wars like these, where the emotions of everyone would slowly slip out of their control, were the best opportunity to be played around by Mental Energy techniques. That was the reason everyone remained silent, unmoving, tense, ready to erupt but hadn't done so yet.
A single action would be the spark that ignited the explosive here.
As everyone was in a state of tension, suddenly, an aromatic scent wafted through the arena, causing saliva to form in their mouths instinctively. It was an aroma that could only be emitted from the most delicious food.
As none of them had unleashed any godly abilities, the arena's state was actually pristine, with no energy interference. This allowed the aroma of the food to emanate and spread around, slowly causing the breathing of everyone to become ragged.
They were trying their best to control themselves, slowly raising up their defenses while riling up their Godly Energy, trying their best to refrain from taking action abruptly. After all, doing so would make them the center of attention, causing everyone to instinctively target them.
No matter how confident they were in their strength, being attacked by a hundred peers at the same level simultaneously wouldn't bode well for them.
Plop!
Suddenly, the senses of a cultivator noticed a tiny slab of metal land next to his feet. It didn't seem anything special at first glance, but a couple of seconds later, it emanated a powerful aroma, instantly breaking through his Mental Energy defenses as his mind shattered, causing him to lunge at the metal slab, devouring it immediately.
Hunger!
The metal slab was way too delicious, but it was only half the size of his palm, obviously insufficient to satiate him. And now that he had eaten such a delicacy, he craved to eat more. Unfortunately for him, there wasn't any other delicacy of the sort around him.
However, his hunger continued to grow before soon after, he began to hallucinate everyone else around him as food, leaping towards the closest target. "Food!"
Bam!
The target slammed him away with a burst of Godly Energy as he was sent flying.
Unfortunately, the hungry cultivator was like a zombie as he ignored his injuries, not even feeling any pain as he sprinted towards a nearby cultivator, riling up all his power to defend against the attacks streaming his way as he latched onto the cultivator, biting the other party's neck.
Delicious!
The cultivator was overwhelmed with pleasure as he immediately gobbled up the 'food,' patting his bulging stomach as he could feel a dense stream of Godly Energy brimming through him as the food in his stomach was quickly digested.
Immediately after that, he only again felt hunger. It hadn't even been a minute since he ate that massive 'food.'
"More!" he shouted before rushing towards another cultivator.
He wasn't the only one behaving like a hungry zombie, though. There were at least a hundred of them acting the same, instantly causing chaos throughout the arena.
As for the perpetrators, they couldn't even be seen.
The immortals watching among the stands immediately shot glances at Krune, causing the other party to laugh as he said, "I didn't teach them much. Wisps are just that talented."
At his remarks, Feifei just rolled her eyes, obviously aware of what had happened behind the scenes.
When the cooking contest had ended, Krune obtained enlightenment, heading out to cultivate in seclusion as he brought out all his clones, causing them to encircle him, forming the shape of a sphere.
After that, they all unleashed tribulation lightning, slamming them into Krune.
False Tribulation!
Krune was mimicking the final tribulation that Sterlena had experienced. He was just replicating it now, controlling the power behind the lightning bolts. Then again, every attack was actually vaporizing parts of his body as they were just that powerful.
Under this pressure, Krune refined his Spiritual Incarnation, activating all the laws that he had, beginning to fuse them into one as he condensed all the enlightenment he had obtained.
Calamity Laws that caused calamities. Balance Laws that kept everything in balance by actually taking control over the various Laws. Tribulation Lightning Law that vaporised all Laws. Divine Sense Law that formed the core of a cultivator's senses and acted as the adhesive of their Spiritual Incarnation. Mental Energy Law that formed the base of their mind.
They formed the base as Krune had dumped all the laws that he had ever comprehended, focusing them into the core of his being as he returned to his wisp form, finally creating a brand-new Law when he was fully vaporized the next second.
Through a clone, he revived soon after, grinning as he focused on the new Law that he had created, one that conceptualized his ability of Zombie Food, Hunger Wave.
Hunger Law!
With the Law conceptualized, he was now able to actually use his Zombie Food, Hunger Wave as a tremendously powerful ability anyhow he pleased. It instantly became his strongest ability, as Krune had literally condensed everything he possessed to create this Law.
However, he also came to understand a severe drawback of this Law. It was the fact that he couldn't make anyone else learn it. After all, there actually seemed to be a restriction on this, just like the Tribulation Lightning Law.
And when Krune understood it, even he was taken by surprise.
