At the end of level 1 was a flight of stairs leading up to level 2. As this was a place where there wasn't any inhibition on his Godly Energy, Krune was able to calmly proceed upward, traveling the more than a dozen kilometers that he had to trek before arriving at level 2.
The moment he set foot within, his body lost balance as the Godly Energy circulating within him stopped almost instantly. The inhibition prevented him from even circulating his Godly Energy, not to mention being able to use it.
'The effect is a lot stronger than on level 1,' Krune thought, looking around to see a lot of people calmly meditating at discrete locations.
It was strangely odd that there weren't any fights in the place. No one even talked, calmly meditating as they riled up their Godly Energy constantly, slowly beginning to destroy the inhibition placed on them.
As for those that managed to completely negate the inhibition, they got up and proceeded towards the next level.
'It's strange that there isn't even a single fight here,' Krune thought, sensing using his Sonic Radar before finding a calm place to settle down.
He focused on his meridians, noticing that the Godly Energy in him had solidified. It was as if it had turned into jelly that was drying up. It was hard for him to will it into action. Then again, as he continued to focus on it, the jelly moved, albeit at a snail's pace.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe continued to work in such a fashion, stressing it to move and circulate as its speed of motion slowly began to increase.
'This is pretty tiring.' After half a day of work, Krune stopped meditating as he slumped on the floor, resting his weary mind as he looked around, understanding the reason others didn't try to fight. 'It takes everything out of me just to do this. And this is just the second level. There's no benefit in fighting and weakening oneself here.'
After taking a short nap, Krune got up and got into a meditative pose immediately, grinning upon seeing his Godly Energy beginning to move faster. Soon, as if something had broken, it turned into a viscous liquid, now moving even faster.
As time passed in such a fashion, the Godly Energy soon turned into a gaseous state, beginning to move at its usual speed as Krune broke out of the inhibition, nodding in surprise as he noticed the changes in his Godly Energy.
"It has become denser. That's amazing!"
He then walked towards the third level, tumbling to the ground the moment he entered the area. For now, his meridians began to shrivel up, unable to endure the inhibition affecting him.
It caused him to thrash about in the area, unable to control his body as he suffered from pain that felt like every muscle in his body was getting cramps.
"Ugh!" Krune hurriedly used his healing effect, surprised when he noticed the pain had vanished instantly.
He then smiled wryly as he thought to himself, 'For a moment, I forgot my body was tremendously powerful.'
When his meridians suffered, he tried to deal with it in terms of a regular cultivator. But in actuality, all he had to do was use his body's muscles to vibrate and massage the meridians, reducing their strain while the healing effect coursed through them.
The moment he did this, Krune noticed that the inhibition placed on him began to wane quickly as if it couldn't affect him much longer.
Within a couple of hours, Krune broke out of the inhibition, surprised at the state of his Godly Energy. "The quality of my Godly Energy has almost reached the Nascent God Realm."
"Damn!" He laughed, beginning to head to the fourth level, barely taking the first step on the long flight of stairs, when he noticed a figure flying right at his face.
Krune caught hold of the burly man, reducing his feet's grip on the floor to allow his body to slide and cushion the man's fall.
He quickly turned the man around, intending to inspect him when Krune was shocked. Surprisingly, the man lacked a front half. It was charred black, melted as its body had caved in.
The attack was targeted at his Spiritual Incarnation, destroying it first before killing him. It was a gruesome scene as Krune frowned, thinking, 'What the heck is happening up there?'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKrune's figure flashed through the stairs, dodging the human corpses that flew at him. Through his Sonic Radar, he noticed that their figures were already melted, their deaths apparent. So, he didn't bother rescuing them.
Soon, he appeared at the end of the staircase, scouting within using his Sonic Radar first to see a cultivator going around, killing everyone around him.
It was a man, seemingly in his early teens. However, through his bloodlust eyes, it was apparent that he wasn't a child but rather an old veteran that had revived recently.
"Why are you killing us? We have no enmity or hatred between us!" one of the victims shouted as he shielded against the attacks, grunting at the overwhelming power behind the attacker.
"It's simple." The cultivator laughed as he explained, "After reaching the sixth level, I figured out that when there's only one cultivator within this Godly Inhibition Tower, it would choose that person as its master."
"From the day it finished forming, I have been in here." He laughed, tearing apart his opponent before spitting out, "And, I finally managed to kill that blasted rival of mine. Now, there's no one else strong enough to face me here. And I, Brenker, would make this tower mine!"
The fighting was somewhere far away, and Brenker, the one slaughtering everyone, had only whispered to the man he killed. But, thanks to the Sonic Radar, Krune was able to hear the conversation.
"Another crazy has arrived," he grumbled. "Seriously, every Primal God I've seen till now has something wrong with their heads."
It was apparent based on the strength and the depth of laws he displayed that Brenker was a Primal God that had revived as a Nascent God just to explore the infant supercontinent in search of treasures.
He was as strong as Kirena Wohat.
