As they moved forward, Krune and Iem used their Divine Senses. However, as one can expect, the Godly Path's Godly Energy restricted Divine Sense even more than the Holy Land. Krune, with his powerful Soul, couldn't see more than 2000 or so meters. Iem, on the other hand, could only see things up to 1800 meters, which proved that his Soul Power was almost on par with Krune.
Luvile took the chance to explain another thing.
"That's because your foundations haven't changed into Godly Ones yet. Once you finish the change, your Divine Senses will expand a lot more due to the compatibility. Nevertheless, it will still be several times smaller. Back in the Mortal Realm, your Divine Senses could spread through thousands of kilometers, probably tens of thousands. However, here in the Godly Path Realm, even after you finish changing your Foundations, your Divine Sense will probably only reach double or triple the distance you can now."
Krune and Iem were still shocked by it. Even after changing their Foundations into Godly Ones, they wouldn't be able to see more than 4 to 6km away. Compared to their usual planetary size Divine Sense In the Mortal Realm, this was basically nothing!
Of course, since Divine Sense was so restricted, Krune used his Mental Energy instead. Nevertheless, the Holy Land's Godly Energy also affected Mental Energy, let anole the Godly Path Realm's Godly Energy. Fortunately, it could go much further than his actual Divine Sense, reaching almost 5km.
The problem wasn't that, though. The main issue was demon beasts. The weakest ones were at least at the Soul Forging Realm or Void Breaking. Divine Path Realm Demon Beasts were extremely common too. However, one thing caught Krune and Iem's attention. Even the Divine Path Realm Demon Beasts didn't have sentience. They were ferocious and didn't change into their Human Form. Noticing their confusion, Harold also explained.
"It's the restrictions of the Godly Realm. Demon Beasts born in this place will not get sentience before the Semi-Divinity Realm. It has always been like this, so there is no need to think much about it. Instead, this is a good thing. The Divine Path and View ones will not be able to pose much of a threat to you. You are geniuses that can fight an entire Cultivation Realm above your own, after all. Let alone when the enemy can't even think. Of course, there is only a small problem..."
Krune and Iem knew what problem Harold was talking about. Their combat power!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBack in the Heavenly Competition, Krune and Iem could use attacks that destroyed everything several kilometers around them. It would shatter both the land and space. But here? Ha! It would be quite impressive if Krune could make a crater of 10 or so meters wide with his attacks! Everything was restricted to the maximum.
Don't misunderstand. It was not that the Godly Realm's land was so hard that Krune and Iem's power couldn't break anything in it. The materials in this place are indeed stronger and more resistant than the Mortal Realm's, but not to the point of suffering almost no damage from Krune and Iem. The problem was once again in the restrictions of the Godly Realm. The restrictions made it really hard for Krune and Iem to force out their Foundation's energy.
For example, suppose Krune is back in the Mortal Realm. Krune would need to use 1/1000 of his strength to force the necessary energy out of his Foundation to destroy a boulder. However, in the Godly Realm, Krune would need at least 100/1000 to 200/1000 of his power to force out the same amount of energy of his Foundation to destroy the same boulder.
Krune and Iem didn't suddenly become weak. They just couldn't bring out as much energy as before. Because of that, they needed to use much more power than before to achieve the same effect. Sure enough, their energy pools, which can only be replenished with Godly Energy now, emptied much faster.
Both Krune and Iem couldn't help but feel like they returned to the time they began to cultivate as Qi Condensation beginners. The worst part is that their Foundations haven't changed into Godly Ones yet, unlike the demon beasts, who had changed their Demon Cores into Godly Demon Cores a long time ago.
Simply put, they were definitely much stronger than demon beasts at their level. Still, the amount of energy they have at their disposal is several times smaller. Any fight they involved in, they had to finish it in a few attacks, or they would be in trouble.
Fortunately, this place seemed to be a gigantic prairie without end. The Demon Beasts that walked in groups or the lonely ones had massive gaps in distance between themselves. Thanks to Krune's Mental Energy perception, and the privileged vision of the place, they could avoid most battles.
Krune and Iem kept running without stop. Even though they can't fly, their cultivation is more than enough to cover hundreds of kilometers a day. Of course, if they were not bound by the Godly Path Realm restrictions and could use their energy like in the Mortal Realm, they would be able to do thousands instead of hundreds.
It turned out that Krune and Iem weren't so far from others, though. Krune and Iem first noticed one cultivator hunting Demon Beasts. However, the guy left before they could approach to ask anything. Nevertheless, they continued on their way. Soon, they began to see more cultivators in the distance. Before long, they finally got to approach a group that had three members. Perhaps because they thought they had bigger numbers, they weren't afraid of Krune and Iem.
Of course, those guys were ready to fight at any given order since they didn't know what Krune's group intended. Before Krune approached them, Luvile released a small spark of Purple Tribulation Lightning that ran through Krune's entire body. Krune and Iem noticed it and were puzzled. But a second later, Iem could feel that Krune's Demon Beast aura disappeared completely. Krune, of course, noticed it too.
"I see... I'm a Divine Path Realm Demon Beast, so I wasn't supposed to have sentience in theory."
Luvile confirmed.
"Yes, so before you reach the Semi-Divinity Realm, I will conceal your aura. I don't know if others would care whether you had sentience or not, but I would rather not take risks."
Krune and Iem nodded. They also thought that Luvile was right in doing so.
When Krune entered the Divine Sense range of the other group, they let out a sigh of relief. They could see that Krune and Iem were only Divine Path Realm cultivators. Their group has two Divine Views and one Divine Path Realm, so they have the advantage.
Krune and Iem didn't get too close either. Instead, they stayed 1km away from them just in case they needed to flee. After that, they used Divine Sense to communicate.
"Sorry my friends. Would you mind telling us which direction we can find a City?"
The three guys on the other side looked at Krune, puzzled. They didn't understand a single word he said. That was obvious. This is another Realm altogether; it would be weird if they talked exactly the same language. Krune had already lost the count of how many different languages he used in the past.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, Krune and Iem also received a Divine Sense message in another dialect. Krune only needed a few seconds to remember which language from the several ones he memorized it was. Although there were a few differences, he could workaround. He also opened his communicator, which could work with nearby ones, to send Iem the language database he had in it. It was very helpful, so Krune had never deleted it and only increased the numbers with time. Sure enough, it proved very useful now.
"They are speaking a language primarily used in the Sakamar Universe. You are also a Peak Divinity Realm cultivator with a Soul Power almost on par with me, so you should have no problem to memorize and learn it in a few hours. I will talk with them first."
Krune then changed the words but asked the same thing as before.
Finally, the other side understood what he asked before answering.
"Are you knew in these parts?"
Krune nodded.
"We are on a training journey. But we are almost without supplies, so we need to find a place where we can restock."
The three cultivators looked at each other and nodded. Since they didn't come to cause trouble, that was good enough. It was never bad to be extra careful in this place. The leader of their group, a cultivator at the 5th Stage of the Divine View Realm, then pointed in a specific direction.
"If you follow this direction, you should arrive in Immai City in a day or so. However, you better be careful. The Immal Prairies aren't known for being a nice place to walk around. There are plenty of bandits who won't care about risks and will try to kill you to take away your Spatial Rings. Of course, the majority isn't like that, but you better keep an eye open and don't approach others easily."
Krune noticed that those guys also had devices similar to Communicators on their wrists. He was about to ask if they could share a map of this place but decided to not do so. Their communicators are most likely not compatible. Krune doesn't even know if they are really communicators or not. In the end, he simply bowed.
"Thank you for the information."
Krune and Iem turned around and disappeared in the distance.
