Krune and Feifei left the Vintei Universe on the same day.
"Are you sure that there isn't anything inside? You did check if there wasn't any tracking on you or the box, right?"
Krune nodded.
"You have Mental Energy too, so you should know about it. If there was something or someone hidden in there, we would know straight away."
Feifei sighed.
"Well, although it will take some time, at least we will conclude this deal without losing almost nothing. We just need to find some random planet to leave these guys."
Krune agreed with Feifei.
"Cinty should know quite a few good ones where the war hasn't reached yet. Whatever they decide to do from here on out was their problem."
Just like that, time passed. Because they weren't using any of the Multi-Universal Spatial Gates, they had to cross universe by universe. Finally, they arrived at the barrier protecting the Dalin Universe.
Without any issues, Krune opened a hole in it again before entering. Of course, they always used the Purple Lightning Layer so no one would find them passing by.
It didn't take long to arrive at the Wisp Main World after that. Cinty, of course, immediately noticed Krune's presence when he appeared there. She then came out and looked at him, puzzled.
"Didn't you say you would be some time out? How come you came back so early?"
Krune smiled as he explained the situation to Cinty.
"I see... Well, you can leave this Spatial Box with the Dimeisonal Realm with me. I'll see that the people and beasts inside will be released on a good planet. A universe is still a huge place, so there are plenty of worlds that have not been involved in this war."
Krune then delivered the box to Cinty.
Cinty then quickly arranged for someone to take it before looking back at Krune and Feifei.
"By the way, did Heavin find what he was looking for?"
Krune and Feifei looked back at Cinty, puzzled.
"Heavin? How would we know? We just arrived here."
Cinty was taken aback.
"Didn't you meet him in the Luvile Universe? He left just a few hours after you. He even used the same hole you made in the Dalin Universe Protection Formation to go out."
Krune and Feifei looked at each other before looking back at Cinty. In the end, they just shook their heads.
"We didn't know about it. Could it be that a problem happened?"
"I don't think so. Heavin also has a Soul Flame left here, so his soul is definitely fine. How long have you two been looking for the Heavenly Fragments alone?"
Krune pondered a bit before answering.
"One month and a half."
Cinty nodded.
"In that case, you should go back to Luvile Universe and check the people there. Heavin might have appeared after you two left."
Krune and Feifei admitted that it was possible.
"Very well."
The couple then bid their farewells to Cinty before opening a spatial gate to the Dalin Universe Barrier once more. The small hole Krune made would still be open for a few days, so they simply used the same one again.
"Where should we go first?"
Feifei thought about it for a moment before saying.
"Heavin's Phoenix Puppet is very strong, and he knows how to care for himself. He did very well without you while you were in the Godly Path Realm, so he should be fine. His Soul Flame proved that he was fine as well. In that case, let's take our Heavenly Fragment back in the Vintei Universe first."
Krune nodded as a layer of Purple Tribulation Lightning appeared around him and Feifei. Right after, they began their journey back to the Vintei Universe.
Meanwhile, inside the Soren Ruins.
"Dracophoenix Supernova!"
*Boom!*
*Roar!*
Suddenly, a crystal-like demon beast was blasted away by Heavin's Dracophoenix Ability. Sadly, it didn't die. The demon beast quickly recovered its balance as it pounced at Heavin once again. Unfortunately...
"Mental Pierce!"
A Phoenix Puppet appeared where the demon beast had just been thrown at with perfect precision. Obviously, that was Heavin's Puppet where his Divine Soul was located.
Heavin's beak was made with God Level Equipment from the Higher Realms. Not only that, but it was a God Level material from above the Godly Path Realm, the God Realm. Naturally, it was even more powerful.
Heavin's beak also brimmed with Mental Energy. As the creator of the Soul Cultivation Technique, he was simply unbeatable in this regard. Krune was at the same Soul Cultivation Level as Heavin. Still, Heavin's Mental Energy would definitely destroy Krune's if they clashed against each other. That was the difference between having something made exclusively for you instead of using a modified version. Not to mention that Heavin's talent for Soul Cultivation was also above anyone else.
The crystal demon beast had incredibly intrepid defense. Even Heavin's Dracophoenix Supernova failed to break through it in one go. Still, in front of Mental Energy and the God Level beak, it was as fragile as paper.
Heavin's puppet pierced through the demon beast, destroying the crystal demon core it had. Soon after, the rest of the demon beast's body crumbled as if it was just a gathering of crystals in the first place.
However, this wasn't the only demon beast that ended up like this. If one looked around, they would see many other crystals floating in midair. They were all demon beasts as well.
Thankfully, Heavin's power was far above any ordinary Peak Divinity Realm cultivator. His body alone was able to bear the brunt of attacks while creating opportunities for Heavin to give finishing blows.
"Phew... It seems like it's finally over. I'm almost sapped dry of Spiritual Energy."
Heavin flashed beside Liriu's side before nodding.
"I was really starting to run out of Mental Energy too."
Heavin then looked at all those 'corpses' before asking.
"By the way, what are these demon beasts? They have Divinity Realm level power but have no intelligence whatsoever. If it was some common cultivator or demon beast duo, they might have even died from this attack."
Heavin shook his head.
"I have no idea. Well, it's not like we've never heard of creatures without intelligence but are insanely strong before. Krune told us about the Spatial type creatures in the Godly Path Realm too."
As Heavin said that, several Spirit Stones appeared around him, which he used to recover his energies.
Liriu didn't waste time and did the same thing.
Heavin then commented while recovering.
"However, their Demon Cores are very weird. They were made of crystal, just like the demon beast's bodies themselves. Perhaps they are being controlled by some kind of Formation. After all, we are still inside these ruins."
Liriu then looked around as he saw the several walls and buildings floating. There was no sense of up and down here since the ruins were located in outer space. Liriu could see many of them in the distance placed in several different positions. All around them was the same.
"What about the Dark Water? Have there been any changes so far?"
Heavin then took the Dark Water out of his Spital Ring. Ever since they entered the Soren Ruins, it began to behave strangely. Usually, it would be gathered all together without moving at all. When Krune opened the Dalin Universe Protection Formation's hole, the only change was that the water began to be attracted to the Soren Ruins' direction.
However, after they entered the ruin, the water now gathered in the form of a sphere that rippled nonstop. It was as if someone had a music box right beside a bow with water. Every time the box made some sound, the water rippled. It was the same effect. However, there was no such thing as sound in this place. After all, this was outer space. There was no air. Naturally, there was no sound either.
"No. It has been acting in the same way until now. From the information we gathered from other cultivators and demon beasts in this place, we are still quite far from the Core Region."
With the changes happening in the Soren Ruins, many cultivators and demon beasts came to see what is happening. Heavin and Liriu just happened to find a few while they explored. Between those, some had come here before and knew a little about the place.
"If these crystal demon beasts are already this annoying here, inside there might be quite problematic."
Heavin nodded.
"That's truehowever, no pain, no gain. We can only keep moving forward if we want to find anything worthwhile."
Liriu agreed with Heavin. They continued to recover their Spiritual and Mental Energies for some time. After a while, they went back to their peak states and resumed their journey.
Krune and Feifei returned to the Vintei Universe. It also seemed like Jingxue already knew that they completed their part of the deal. Without wasting any time, she immediately gave the Heavenly Fragment to Krune, which he found to be the Life Heavenly Fragment. Obviously, he gave it to Feifei since he only needed the Destiny and Death ones.
Krune and Feifei pondered if they should try to get the Heavenly Fragment from the Tuverk Sect. However, they thought it might take a long time for the same reason as the Xia Clan. That being said, they decided to go back to the Luvile Universe first. The war between the two powers wouldn't be over anytime soon, after all. Besides, they wanted to know if Heavin had appeared there or not.
