Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 1332 The Mountain Sect’s Scheme

"As I promised, I bought time for everyone. A total of eight years," Krune sighed in relief, noticing the army from the three continents converge on the other side of the Celestial Battlefield.

Even though it was hard, as all the powerhouses had been working nonstop, they managed to solve the issue. The hatred between the people had been diminished to such an extent that they would no longer kill each other on sight.

And now, they were standing side by side as comrades.

"Don't expect me to save your life."

"Heh, arrogant arses like you are always the first to die."

Toxic remarks were exchanged between the people in the army, but none tried to target the lives of each other.

It was because they had already done the same so many times that they had gotten fed up by it. So now, they only exchanged 'pleasantries' with one another, full of love while wishing the ingrown toenail of the others to cause them so much pain they would cry.

During the years, Krune had been fuelling their hatred from time to time to ensure they continued to engage in conflicts. But eventually, exhaustion began to set in.

That was when the powerhouses from the three continents realised that there was a better method to deal with their hatred. It was for the people to display enough hate until they became exhausted.

After all, it wasn't possible for someone to generate infinite hate. There would be a time when they attained their limits. And that was what the powerhouses from the three continents had focused upon.

So now, having already forged their enemies to near death state hundreds of times, everyone had lost the will to kill their foes. And that was how the army was stabilised.

And now, ones that had fought to kill each other hundreds of times stood beside one another, like comrades. They were still cursing the deaths of one another but didn't take action personally.

Some of them even began to change topics and converse about the rewards they could obtain from the Sub-Realm instead.

It was unknown how long this would last. Maybe the exhaustion they are feeling would vanish eventually. But by then, they would have fought side by side as comrades.

It will help ease up the situation a bit.

"Somehow, you've managed to do it. Congratulations!" Krune smiled, grunting as he slowly got up. He hadn't done so in the past eight years, having not budged an inch from his spot.

After his painstaking cultivation, he had reached the Second Stage Semi-God Realm, making him understand how slow cultivation became after one became an immortal.

Breaking through a single stage within the Semi-God Realm took 10 years on average, a century for every stage in the God Trial Realm, a millennium for every stage in the Elementary God Realm, and so on.

The only reason Zamura had reached the Third Stage God Trial Realm within a century after becoming an immortal was thanks to enlightenment. He got enlightenment in a variety of things that caused him to breakthrough many stages.

This was the same that Ferlash experienced after obtaining enlightenment from Krune.

Unfortunately for Krune though, he himself hadn't attained any enlightenment recently. What he had attained was when he was at the Nascent God Realm. So, it wasn't of no use now. Had he attained the same enlightenment after he had reached the Semi-God Realm, he could have skipped many stages.

But, he couldn't worry about that. After all, he had spent the eight years fully consolidating his abilities and had also trained all his powers to the limit. He had also completed every task that he had been planning to do.

'Now, I only need to bring Fie to the God Realm.' Krune thought, 'I should find a way to enter the Godly Path Realm. Thankfully, Gegrafikan and Zamura have figured out the means to do so.'

"Now, it's time to obtain rewards from the Sub-Realm and break through the stages of the Semi-God Realm quickly." Krune said, slowly taking out Pestlor as he muttered, "I'll reach the peak of the God Trial Realm before the Mist Sect arrives."

"Guys, it's time to fight." A clone in the Mountain Sect informed everyone as the Sect members of the Mountain Sect slowly streamed into the Celestial Battlefield.

There was a surprising formation among the mortals, with every mortal cultivator being accompanied by a Monster Gecko as a guard. This was to protect them and cause them to reap rewards from the Sub-Realm.

After all, that was how they would be able to become an immortal soon enough. There would be no use with the Monster Geckos obtaining the rewards, hence this arrangement.

Among the Immortals, the moment those from the Mountain Sect poured in, those from the three-continental alliance army were startled.

"How…do they have so many immortals?"

It had to be noted that before when the Mountain Sect had participated, even though they were strong, the number of immortals on their side were little. It could be amounted as a paltry sum in contrast to the number of immortals on each continent.

But now, the number had tripled easily, shocking them.

"The fight is finally happening." Zamura smirked, watching the faces of the immortals on the opposite side tense up as they retracted their equipment immediately after seeing him.

"Mountain Sect mortals, charge!" He motioned for the immortals to remain still as he commanded the mortals, causing them to roar and charge at the opposing army immediately.

"Kill them all!" The three Emperors said simultaneously, causing all the mortals to bellow a war cry and charge at the Mountain Sect.

"Let's do it." A mortal from the Mountain Sect made eye contact with the Monster Gecko accompanying him as they charged into the enemy, using their toughened bodies like a bulldozer as they dashed through the crowd, only targeting those with a Spiritual Incarnation.

The Monster Gecko used its peak strength to push them to the verge of death while the cultivator dealt the final blow, killing more than a dozen cultivators with a Spiritual Incarnation in one hit. And they were all at the Nascent God Realm.

He slowly closed his eyes, smirking, "It's coming!"

The rewards from the Sub-Realm gushed into his body, causing his strength to explode as his body ballooned.

Bang!

Tribulation lightning slammed into him as the skies darkened, causing the people around him to scurry away in fear. He had begun a breakthrough to the Semi-God Realm.

"What the…fuck is happening?" The Zamuria Emperor stared at the scene, flabbergasted, watching tribulation lightning descend from the skies one after another as cultivators began to breakthrough to the Semi-God Realm.

The only problem being…their numbers had already reached the five digits.
