Is that a Wisp?

The Cloud Whale crashed into countless earthen hands that shattered into pieces upon contact, unable to endure the momentum of the entity that crashed into them. After all, they were first pierced through by the Air Needle, weakening them in advance.

As its momentum continued to reduce, so did its altitude before the Cloud Whale crashed into the ground, forming a massive trench that continued to span past as the Cloud Whale dragged itself through the ground.

During this time, Krune constantly collected the tiny creatures, bringing them closer to the Cloud Whale. As they suffocated to their deaths inside, their respective laws melded into him, sharply raising his comprehension to the extent his Divine Sense was able to keep up with the speed he was going.

Soon, the power of his Divine Sense surpassed his Mental Energy, shocking Krune. In fact, this was the first time it had happened ever since he had embarked upon soul cultivation.

Eventually, when the Cloud Whale stopped, countless earthen hands jutted out of the ground, slamming onto it, intending to compress it into oblivion. Unfortunately for them, Krune was still seated within, focused on absorbing all the laws that he could obtain.

A few seconds later, the Cloud Whale was almost killed when he entered its horn, causing it to unleash another Air Needle.

This time, his Wisp Core only began to travel through the second half of the Air Needle. After all, he didn't wish to take the brunt of the impact. That would simply damage his Wisp Core or even cause it to shatter.

Instead, he could simply wait for the Air Needle to do its work while he would travel through its stream. After all, it was like a river but was cylindrical in shape with a sharp tip that pierced through everything in its path.

After traveling for some distance, Krune condensed the Cloud Whale around himself once again, causing it to mow down through the earthen hands using its massive body. While doing so, he casually collected all the tiny creatures.

The reason he was doing this instead of fighting on his own was due to how strong the earthen hands were. If he fought on his own, he would soon be overwhelmed. But instead, accelerating his Wisp Core using an Air Needle would give him a lot of momentum.

And he could ride that momentum by summoning his Cloud Whale, causing it to slam into everything in its path with its heavy body. This was his best mode of attack to destroy as many earthen hands as possible.

Krune calculated that his current efficiency was at least ten times greater than before. After all, the rate of comprehension he obtained from the current tiny creatures was many times greater than the ones he obtained from at the start.

The deeper he went, the more comprehensive the laws became in the tiny creatures. Thus, it was more profitable.

In such a manner, Krune launched himself over and over again, traveling deeper and deeper into the Misty Plains until he was suddenly surprised, landing on the ground to see around himself. No earthen hands emerged out from the ground.

Sweeping around using his Divine Sense, Krune found out the reason why. "This part of the land has already stabilized."

Had it been before, he would have been unable to understand the cause of the earthen hands. But now that he had been absorbing the laws related to the same thing repeatedly, his comprehension had shot up by a lot, allowing him to observe the reason now.

"The laws of Earth, Wood, Life, and Divine Sense had condensed into the tiny creatures that move around the place, slowly adjusting themselves as they fuse and collide, continuing the process repeatedly until their arrangement aligns naturally in an optimal manner," he muttered.

In simple terms, it was like there were billions of jigsaw pieces that began around a centerpiece. They would constantly appear in all the places, failing to fit them. They would randomly flow around, falling into any place they could occupy, flying out when it wasn't fit for them.

Over time, when a correct piece fell into the area around the centerpiece, it would stabilize.

That was what was happening here. If there was someone that actively placed the tiny creatures in the correct positions, then the piece of stable land would rapidly increase. But now, they would need thousands of years to naturally fall into their rightful places.

And this process could only be manually done with the gods of the respective laws joining forces. After all, the required intricacy of the arrangement and the determination of their respective position was only possible for them.

Krune had no intention to sit around and complete the puzzle. Instead, he grinned, looking around, "This area 20 meters around me is stable land. I can use this as my base to begin serious cultivation."

And with serious cultivation, he meant destroying the earthen hands. Krune approached the border, causing his Cloud Whale to fly out when an earthen hand jutted out instantly, clenching it into dust instantly.

However, Krune wasn't disillusioned by the power it had displayed, activating the laws of Earth, Wood, Life, and Divine Sense, focusing them all into his Pestlor that slammed into it. The same laws negated each other when Krune applied his Balance Laws on top of that, shattering the earthen hand.

The tiny creature within was rather powerful, but since he was only focusing on one, Krune was able to focus all his power on it, sealing it up in an ice cage.

A couple of seconds later, the tiny creatures died as Krune stumbled backward in shock, clenching his head as the nerves on his hand protruded for a moment. The amount he comprehended was way too much for him to handle.

It was a level only strong immortals were capable of enduring. As to how strong their cultivation bases had to be, he was unable to determine. All he could tell was that it went beyond what he could endure.

"Of course, I'm not just any average cultivator!" Krune grunted, circulating his Deific Wisp Technique to the limit as the Godly Energy in him morphed into Mental Energy, changing into muscular energy an instant later. It constantly changed states, diverting the comprehensions into various streams.

All it did was break the stream of comprehension. He didn't absorb them yet. However, this diversion gave him a breather. Before the remainder joined together, Krune finished comprehending the stream targeting him.

This way, he split them up before devouring them in batches, sighing in relief once he was done, muttering, "My comprehension of these laws have now reached the stage that Semi-God Realm cultivators would have if they focused on these as their prime laws."
