Krune looked at the two Souls revolving around each other. However, it was evident that their Zule was losing. It couldn't be helped since the other 'Zule' seemed to be a lot more experienced in these kinds of things than their Zule.

Still, Krune didn't seem concerned.

"Luvile, in half a second, attack the top left corner, seven degrees to my Divine Soul's Side."

Soon after that, a Purple Tribulation Lightning Bolt descended at the exact point Krune mentioned. It was perfectly timed that some of 'Zule's' Soul showed himself.

"Arrgh!"

Immediately, the advantage that 'Zule' had over their Zule seemed to disappear.

That wasn't over, though.

"Harold, three seconds, attack the position 102 degrees to the right. Use my Divine Soul's location to guide yourself."

Once again, an attack came at the right moment the enemy 'Zule' appeared once more. Zule and 'Zule' were too tangled with each other. But thanks to their Zule's Heavenly Space Fragment connection and power, Krune could quickly tell the difference between the two.

"Luvile, 35 degrees on the bottom right corner, two and a half seconds."

"Harold, the top of the souls, 7 degrees to the left, a bit back, one second."

"Luvile..."

And just like that, Krune guided Harold and Luvile to keep attacking 'Zule's' soul nonstop. Every time they hit the target, the enemy 'Zule' would lose some of his concentration. On the other hand, their Zule would absorb a significant portion of his Fragmented Soul.

"You! You!"

'Zule' noticed that things were not going according to his plan. The advantage that he had in the start was utterly gone, while Krune's Zule had turned the tables. At this moment, Krune's Zule had already absorbed the enemy 'Zule' by more than 40%. Soon, 'Zule' would not be able to keep going anymore, eventually being assimilated by Zule from Krune's group.

However, 'Zule' wouldn't just let himself disappear like that.

"Ants! I will not let you leave my body alive!"

All of a sudden, the silver light coming from the enemy 'Zule' intensified several times. Right after that, Krune's group Zule sent them a message.

"He's burning his own Soul to gather enough power to escape!"

Luvile and Harold immediately intensified the Purple Tribulation Lightning and Devil Flames' powers, further increasing the cage's resistance. Nevertheless, the enemy 'Zule' didn't stop and burned even more of his remaining Fragmented Soul.

Suddenly, he separated himself from Krune's Zule and shot himself like an arrow against Luvile and Harold's wall of Purple Tribulation Lightning and Devil Flames.

"Since you dare turn your back to me, I might as well take some more."

Zule's soul suddenly changed into the shape of an enormous mouth, devouring a big chunk of the enemy 'Zule's' remaining soul. Obviously, that deeply affected him. Still, the part of his soul that had been burnt was gone already. The power gathered was also there as well.

'Zule' crashed against the wall with immense power. Not only that, but that increase in power also allowed him to use more of Kun-Peng's body power. Eventually, he broke through Luvile and Harold's power, dashing out.

"I swear that I will make sure all of you are done for! As for that Fragment of a Soul who refused to merge with me, I'll make sure that you will suffer tremendous pain when I absorb you again."

Luvile and Harold grimaced as 'Zule's' soul escaped their trap. Even they felt that he was too strong for them to hold it back. However, it was at this moment that Krune's voice appeared once more.

"Aren't you too confident of yourself? You took a few seconds to arrived at my Planet Foundation's Core. Obviously, you will also take some time to escape it. I wonder, do you have enough power to go all the way out?"

Suddenly, the Godly Meridians that Krune had connected to Luvile separated once more. Soon after, they began to follow the enemy 'Zule's' soul while absorbing all of the power emanating from him!

"What?! Stop it!"

Krune only laughed in response.

"Hahaha! Do you think I will really stop? Since you came into my Foundation Space, you might as well stay here forever!"

Krune then used his control over his Foundation Space and teleported their group's Zule right beside the enemy's. Seeing that development, Zule also laughed with Krune.

"Hahaha! Thanks for the meal!"

Without wasting time, he launched himself against 'Zule.' Naturally, he was taking one chunk of his soul after another.

Krune also did the same thing to Harold and Luvile's powers, teleporting them in front of the enemy's 'Zule.' Thanks to that, they began to form several Purple Tribulation Lighting and Devil Flame walls, reducing 'Zule's' speed even more.

"No! No! No! No! No!!!"

'Zule' had no other choice than to burn even more of his remaining soul to make up for the lost power, with his situation becoming worse as time passed. Although he only needed a few seconds to make his way out of Krune's Foundation Space, it felt like an eternity for him. His only comfort was that Krune wasn't strong enough to use his Foundation Space to control him. However, even that wouldn't last for long if he kept weakening like that.

It was at this moment that Krune's past experiences helped the most. If it was the Foundation Space of any other Semi-Divinity Realm cultivator or demon beast, it would be several times smaller than his Universe one. The enemy 'Zule' would have escaped from inside it a long ago. Too bad that Krune had been increasing his Foundation Space size ever since he was in the Soul Forging Realm.

Finally, 'Zule' saw the division between the Foundation Space and the outside world in front of him. At this point, he only had around 30% of his Fragmented Soul left. Even though that was the case, he sighed in relief.

'As long as I escape, I can use my body's Silver Blood to recover my Soul Power once more. Although I won't be ready before they leave, there will definitely be a chance in the future.'

'Zule' approached the barrier in a flash, ready to strike it and run away when suddenly...

*Snap!*

Krune's group Zule ate another chunk of his soul. At first, the enemy 'Zule' ignored the pain and loss. He was entirely focused on escaping Krune's Foundation Space. Unfortunately, that was what Krune was waiting for.

"Lock!"

*Zup!*

As soon as Krune voiced those words, the enemy 'Zule's' soul froze right in front of the Foundation Space Barrier.

"What?! Impossible!"

Krune finally sighed in relief after seeing that.

'So close... If Zule hadn't taken that last bite, I wouldn't have enough power to stop him.'

That was correct. Krune had been trying to control his Foundation Space to stop 'Zule' all this time. However, the power of the Kun-Peng's body had been powering him. It was only in the last moment that the enemy grew weak enough for him to stop his movements.

"Teleport!"

Right after, 'Zule's' soul was sent straight to the center of Krune's Foundation Space once more. 'Zule' noticed where he had been sent to and felt immense despair.

*Vup!*

Not long later, Krune and Zule appeared there as well. On top of that, Purple Tribulation Lightning and Devil Flames immediately created another cage around him. To make things worse, the power the enemy 'Zule' got from burning his soul began to dim at an insanely hasty rate. He had finally reached the limit of what he could do. If he burnt even a little bit more of his soul, his Fragmented Soul would definitely crumble. Obviously, that meant instant death.

"Alright! Alright! You won! I'll do whatever you want. Let's stop it here, okay?"

Krune snorted after hearing that, though.

"Weren't you saying you were going to destroy us? Too bad... I don't want to leave things up to chance. After all, you can somehow control the power of the Kun-Peng. More than answers, I would prefer to guarantee my safety."

Luvile, Harold, Iem, and Zule agreed with Krune. This guy's presence was too strange. They already thought about the possibility that he was part of the Kun-Peng's soul, especially after he kept saying 'my body' several times.

Zule then launched himself against that enemy 'Zule' and began to absorb him again.

"Ahhhh! Stop! I can tell you several secrets! I can make you strong enough to dominate all the realms!"

Krune and the others completely ignored him, though.

"Just disappear already!"

'Zule' finally understood that he had no chance of escaping anymore.

"Since that's the case, die with me!"

'Zule' then tried to burn the rest of his Soul Power to detonate himself. Unfortunately for him, things didn't work out as he wanted it to.

"This... What did you do?!"

Krune smiled as he explained.

"Isn't that obvious? Now that you lost the power to fight against my Foundation Space Control, you can't do anything without my consent anymore. Obviously, self-detonation is out of the question as well. If you had done it from the start, it would have been extremely dangerous for me. Fortunately, you didn't."

Zule then kept absorbing the Soul Power. The enemy 'Zule' tried to fight back by absorbing him as well. However, Krune was still there. With Luvile and Harold's power giving Zule support, he was not able to resist. Finally, 'Zule' began to lose his consciousness as the soul decreased in size.

"Hehe... I wonder if you will... still be you... in the end..."

'Zule's' remaining soul finally crumbled and was entirely absorbed by the Krune's group Zule.

However, Krune didn't drop his guard yet. After all, he didn't know what would happen to the Zule in his group now that it was all over.
