Krune finally decided to use this ability to gain the upper hand. After all, no matter how much his Air Needles drilled through the Blood Pill creatures, more and more of them arrived.
'It might turn into a war of attrition.' Krune frowned, thinking for a moment. He didn't wish to attract the attention of too many people. That would just be detrimental to himself.
He wished to kill them as quickly as possible before escaping from the place. In any case, this was already his third hunt.
So, news of their absence might somehow circulate through the lone cultivator network, eventually resulting in the lone cultivators heading towards some unknown corner to survive from this predator that seemed to have a thirst for blood of the lone cultivators.
"Brother" The youngest brother frowned.
"Yes, I know." The older brother nodded. "It must be him."
They had noticed that Krune was planning something big, judging by the spike in his Godly Energy. And in response, they fully erected their barriers.
But suddenly, a mysterious force emanated from him, condensing a domain around them, one in which they were unable to use any Godly Energy.
Krune only activated it for a second before deactivating it. Keeping it activated for longer durations might possibly allow the three immortals to train themselves using this pressure and only grow stronger as their Godly Energy would become denser.
Hence, he must make it as quick as possible.
Godly TechniqueGodly Inhibition!
The three bald brothers were shocked to see that they weren't able to use their Godly Energy, for it had turned solid in their meridians. Plus, a severe pain accompanied it when they tried to move their Godly Energy.
But as it was a battle, hesitation would cause destruction. So, the older brother decided to risk it, activating his Godly Energy even in such a case. The solidified Godly Energy in his meridians slowly began to move.
But at this moment, thousands of Air Needles flew towards them, turning their bodies into beehives. And right at this time, the Godly Inhibition technique's effect disappeared.
Then again, Krune had already achieved his objective. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and ran away.
"Bastard, stop!" The older brother's Godly Energy moved at a sluggish pace as it seemed harder for him to use it like usual.
The other two bald immortals were in a similar state, unable to chase after the escaping Krune. Their bodies were riddled with holes as they slowly expected their Godly Energy reserves to gradually heal their injuries.
"We'll have to investigate his background." The older bald brother said after thinking for some time. "He has considerable talent to mess around with us. I don't understand the reason he ran away, but nothing good will come out of being unprepared."
"Big brother is right." The younger brother nodded as he finished healing himself.
The three bald immortals were leisurely traveling the place, taking in the sights of the various places. This was what pretty much everyone did. They prayed to the heavens to grant them deeper comprehension and a connection to the heavens while roaming through the cities and other places in search of enlightenment.
Hence, there wasn't any formation protecting them, placing them in a dangerous state.
However, they hadn't been attacked due to their infamy of having killed countless God Trial Realm cultivators.
Even Krune was able to feel the difference, realizing that he would have to break the seal on his strength to fight them on equal footing.
Either that, or he would have to unleash his Heavenly Incarnation or activate one of his trump cards.
And this wasn't a choice if he didn't wish to alert the Mong Realm Spirit. Hence, Krune wasn't able to use any of his signature abilities, not to mention the base of his powerSpiritual Incarnation.
So, due to this, he couldn't fight against the trio. 'At least, not now. I still need a lot of experience to face them.'
It seemed like Krune managed to land a decisive blow on the three. But in truth, they borrowed the power of the remaining two, successfully defending against the attack, converting the lethal danger into nourishment.
Krune activated the Thundercloud Whale within himself, causing fierce air currents to envelop him as his figure accelerated further, only causing the bald immortals to curse in anger.
"Who the hell was that?" The second older brother opened his mouth for the first time since everything happened, spitting out a remark. "Did we offend him in the past?"
"Probably not," the younger brother said all of a sudden. "I remember the names and faces of everyone that we have offended to date. This guy wasn't among them."
"Maybe you just forgot?" the second older brother muttered in thought.
"I'm assured of what I claim," the younger brother insisted. "He didn't have any grudge against it. When we fought, I couldn't feel any killing intent from him"
Suddenly, he began to tremble like a little lamb, afraid after being caught by the rain. It was then he realized the meaning behind Krune's nonchalant gazes while fighting against them all along.
"That guy was just treating us like grass at the side of the street that he can casually pluck away," he spoke.
"Are you sure?" The second older brother frowned, sighing in the end. "Whatever, if he dares arrive in the future, we'll kill him. just be prepared accordingly."
"Alright, the two of you." The older brother patted their shoulders. "I'll be able to attempt a breakthrough very soon. Once I reach the God Trial Realm, we'll be able to take care of that bastard even if he were to return for more trouble.
"You've finally accumulated enough?" the younger brother said in surprise.
"Yes." The older brother nodded in response. "I'll act as the node during our breakthrough. All three of us must successfully reach the God Trial Realm at the same cultivation base."
"This way, we'll completely be able to overpower our opponents once again."
