Laka was already at the 7th Stage Void Breaking Realm. Of course, he was a lot younger than Laex, and his high cultivation had a lot to do with the Heavenly Fragments he got in the past. He and Laex just so happened to meet by chance. In the end, they ended up as good friends. However, the only ones who know about their friendship are themselves. Even the elders of the Dragon and Phoenix races have no idea about it.
Krune and the others were obviously surprised to hear that.
"To think I would see a Heavenly Divine Soul owner. No wonder Laex said that it would be way too overpowered if the Dracophoenix Bloodline worked on you too."
Feifei then asked.
"Does it change anything once you get all the Heavenly Fragments? Does anything special happens?"
Obviously, this was an excellent opportunity to understand it better.
Laka nodded.
"There are many things. For example, if you understand all fire Sub-Laws, it will be easier to fuse them into the Fire Major Law. Creating Elemental Source and Chaos Energy becomes a lot easier, too, so your cultivation can improve faster than usual."
"Your control over the elements also goes a step further, you become able to gather and use them really fast. If a Heavenly Fragment Owner can summon one Fire Ball using the Fire Major Law, a Heavenly Divine Soul can summon two or three at the same time. Anyway, you probably get it. Having a Heavenly Divine Soul makes you a lot stronger."
Laka then looked at Krune's group and asked.
"Laex told me that you three are Heavenly Fragment Owners of the same Universe. Aren't you going to complete the Heavenly Divine Soul?"
Krune shook his head.
"In fact, we wanted to destroy them so that this fight over the Fragments would be over. We even tried to send it away through a Space Fissure. But it didn't work as well."
Laka was taken aback. This is the first time he heard about someone trying to get rid of the Heavenly Fragments. Especially considering that they are Heavenly Fragment Owners themselves.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Oh, well. This is your problem, not mine. Does that mean that you are participating in the Dalin Universe Heavenly Competition as Heavenly Fragment Owners?"
Krune and the others looked at Laka, puzzled.
"Can a Heavenly Fragment Owner participate? I thought only Heavenly Divine Souls could take part in it."
Laka nodded.
"They can. There are a few instances where a Universe can't decide who will take all the Heavenly Fragments. Especially those who have more than one power controlling that Universe. So they can choose one representative with a Heavenly Fragment instead. As long as the guy is related to the Heavenly Divine Soul, he or she can participate."
"Of course, those Universes would most likely give up taking part in the Heavenly Competition. After all, the difference between a Heavenly Fragment and a Heavenly Soul owner is obvious. At least, I haven't heard anything about a Heavenly Fragment Owner ever taking one of the Five Slots of the Dalin Universe. In a certain way, it isn't wrong to think that only Heavenly Divine Souls can participate since only they would have a chance."
Krune understood what he meant. Even now, he can feel the difference between him and Laka. He isn't sure if he would be able to beat Laka even if they were at the same level.
Laka then looked at Krune and the others and said.
"Anyway, you still have another 14 years before the Competition occurs, so you have a lot of time. Who knows what could happen during this time. You might even end up creating a Heavenly Divine Soul due to the circumstances. So I wish you good luck."
Krune's group nodded. They decided to not talk about the issues with the Luvile Universe since Laka is only staying here temporarily.
It was then that Laka remembered one thing.
"Wait! Laex, what was that interesting thing you said you would receive soon? For you to say those words, I'm sure it is very nice."
Only then did Laex remember that too.
"Oh, that? Hahahaha! Have you ever heard about the Purple Flame Weapons?"
Laka nodded.
"The guys over the Blacksmith Network are going crazy for them now that Diamond Level ones are appearing. I also plan to buy one, but not now. The level of the ones which are appearing is still around 3 to 4 Stars. I want one at least at the 7 or 8 Diamond Stars level."
Laex then pointed at Krune.
"The rainbow guy beside you is the one who creates them."
"What?!"
Laka looked at Krune, shocked. He didn't expect that it was a Wisp who created those weapons. Immediately, Laka knelled shamelessly in front of Krune.
"Grandfather, Laka is willing to pay double if you can make a weapon specially designed for me!"
Krune's mouth twitched. Isn't he a part of the Dragon Race as well? Aren't Dragons Proud? How come he knelled this easily? Sure, part of his bloodline is from phoenixes, but they are also proud Divine Beasts.
Laex laughed out loud after seeing that.
"I told you, didn't I? This guy is even more of a lost cause than I am. Do you believe me now?"
Laex then kicked Laka's ass and sent him flying.
"You!"
Laka, of course, got enraged attacked Laex too. As a Heavenly Divine Soul Owner, he was much stronger than Laex. But just as his first punch was about to reach Laex's face, he heard him saying.
"Do you still want a Purple Flame Weapon?"
Laka's fist stopped right in front of Laex. One could totally see how much effort he was putting to hold himself back.
"You are shameless!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLaex didn't mind it, though.
"Not as much as you."
Feifei couldn't help but laugh a little.
"Don't you think that their relationship is very much like you and your Master?"
Hearing that, Ruik burst in laugher.
"Indeed. It really looks a lot like that."
Krune simply pretended that he didn't hear anything. Unfortunately, Fie was very curious, so she asked Feifei and Ruik what they were talking about. So while Laex and Laka were staring and arguing at each other, Feifei and Ruik started to talk about a few 'tales' of a certain master and his wisp disciple. The more Krune heard about, the redder his ears became. Not only that, Wamie, Dilo, Xankruan, and the rest also sat around to listen to the 'tales,' which made Krune feel like crying.
'Why did it turn out like this?'
"Alright, the two idiot Dragon Race members over there, that is enough. Do you want to destroy my courtyard?"
Laka could only stop after hearing that.
"You are lucky that it is Master Krune who is asking it. Otherwise, I would sweep the ground with your ass."
Laex just laughed. He knows Laka very well, so they would never get into serious fights. Of course, he knows that Laka is stronger, but that was what made things funny.
"Oh, by the way, Krune will be making a Purple Flame Dragon Pearl for me. As you know, the Purple Flame effect increases the power of the equipment. Even though all Dragon Pearls were supposed to be equal in power, we expect a Purple Flame Dragon Pearl to be better than normal ones. It will probably be the first Dragon Pearl to ever surpass the power of the others."
Laka froze in place when he heard that. His face obviously showed incredulity. However, he still remembers the famous Purple Flame Effect. Something that the Dalin Universe Blacksmith Organization was not able to copy even after years of study.
Immediately after, Laka knelled in front of Krune once more.
"Master Krune, no, Ancestor! This lowly one is willing to do anything for a Purple Flame Dragon Pearl!"
Krune could feel a headache coming his way.
