Krune's group moved slowly to avoid being caught by surprise. Fortunately, they didn't encounter anything until they reached the center of the island. Once they got there, they looked around, trying to see if there was anything there. Still, they couldn't see anything that seemed important.
Krune then sent his Divine Sense into his Spatial Ring and asked Zule.
'We are here. Where is this entrance you talked about?'
Zule spread his perception around, trying to analyze the space laws around. After a few moments, he pointed at a small hill's direction.
'It's under that hill over there. There seems to be a concealing formation preventing others from finding it. However, the laws of space can't hide from me. I'm sure that is the place.'
The hill was a few kilometers away, so Krune's Mental Energy couldn't reach it. That's why he didn't see anything wrong with it. However, once the hill entered his Mental Energy Range, he immediately noticed the concealment formation inside. As mentioned before, formations are usually made to block Divine Sense, but Krune was obviously not using such a thing.
Krune then turned around and shouted to the other members of his group.
"I found something here."
Jimage and the rest heard that and immediately rushed over. However, because they were using Divine Sense to scan the area, they couldn't see anything different.
"Are you sure?"
Krune nodded.
"It's under this hill, I'm sure about that. I have a special method of detection that the concealment formation underground can't hide from."
Jimage and the others then looked at the hill, thinking about what to do.
"Should we just blast it over?"
Jimage shook his head.

Krune and everyone agreed and began to work together. Because of the enormous amount of Godly Energy in this sealed space, everything inside was much more resistant to damage, so it was quite hard to open a passage.
Finally, they seemed to hit a barrier that protected the place. Sure enough, they confirmed that Krune wasn't imagining things. Jimage then stepped forward and touched the barrier. He sent some of his Godly Energy inside to test its resistance. The wall trembled a little, but that was all that happened.
"It is a very sturdy protection. However, it seems like it has been operating for a very long time. I can sense that it is barely holding on its own at the moment. If we all attack together, we might be able to break it if we dedicate a few hours. The question is, would you be willing to leave the Top Quality Godly Stones behind? We only have a week before the sealed space goes too chaotic again, so every minute is important."
Rui pondered a bit before saying.
"Jimage, this is the first time the sect has encountered anything like this inside the Top Quality Godly Veins' Sealed Spaces. It shows that someone had definitely been here before a long time ago. Chances are that whatever is inside will be even better than the Top Quality Godly Stones themselves. I vote for breaking it up. Besides, with Krune on our side, we definitely can make up for the time we spend here later."
Jimage nodded and looked at the rest of the group members.
"What about the rest of you?"
The rest looked at each other and then nodded. They know that this might be a great fortune for them, so no one was willing to give it up.
"Very well, let's start."
The group quickly used their power and enlarged the space around them. After all, they are inside a tunnel they themselves made. They needed space where they could attack without being worried about other things. Jimage also asked Xanala to go outside and set up an energy concealing formation. That was to prevent the Godly Energy waves that will come out of the bombardment from escaping. Iem took this change and went outside as well to help her. He, too, was a formations master.
In just one hour, everything was ready. Jimage then looked at everyone and gave his order.
"It's time!"
Godly Energy gathered around the attackers' bodies, and they soon initiate their bombardment.
*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...*
Jimage wasn't an idiot; he only kept three members attacking every time. The rest would be resting or keep watching outside for any changes. This island doesn't have any White Root connected to it, but nothing guaranteed that the other sects' groups would not come.
Time passed, and the barrier dimmed more and more. For some reason, Spatial Tears and Space Type Creatures hadn't appeared even once, much to everyone's confusion. They didn't know if it was really a good thing or not. After all, this place might be dangerous to the point that neither was necessary. Finally, the wall seemed to be about to collapse. Everyone stopped attacking after seeing that.
"Alright, everyone will fall back. We will all attack it with long-ranged attacks at once. Be careful, something might happen as soon as it breaks. If anything strange happens, retreat straight away. We can slowly analyze the situation after that."
Krune and everyone else went back all the way to the entrance. They looked at each other and nodded once more. Right after, the group used their best long-range attacks and sent it against the barrier.
*Boom! Shatter!*
The protection formation broke up like glass straight away. The next instant, they all felt an immense wave of Godly Energy coming from inside. It was evident that the formation had accumulated it for a long time. Still, other than that, nothing else happened.
Jimage then took a deep breath and stepped forward.
"Let's go, time to see what was inside this place."
They made their way past the place where the barrier was before, soon arrived at a big underground cave. Of course, it was situated inside the floating island, so it wasn't that impressive. However, right at the center of the cave, there seemed to be a building. It had a red color and seemed to be made of some unique material. Right above the building's entrance, one could see a written board.
-Heaven Break-
Krune and the other looked at each other. From everyone's expression, it was easy to see that none of them knew anything about it. They approached the building and kept looking around, making sure that nothing was wrong. Everything was fine, and it didn't seem like any kind of trap was left behind.
Jimage then took a deep breath and used his Godly Energy to open the building's door. The building wasn't big to start with, and they soon noticed that the inside was completely open. There were no rooms, corridors, or anything like that. Of course, it wasn't empty either. At the very center, one could see a big formation.
Xanala and Iem looked at that and immediately identified.
"This is a teleport formation. I can tell that it is the type that teleports to another dimension. No doubt, there is a Dimensional Realm on the other side of it. However, this formation is ancient and close to collapse. It would be very risky to use it like this."
Jimage narrowed his eyes before asking.
"Can you repair it or make it more stable?"
Xanala pondered a bit. But just as she was about to answer...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm*Boom!*
Everyone heard the sound of an explosion. However, this sound didn't come from inside the cave, but outside!
"Shit, someone is attacking the formation we built outside."
Iem nodded.
"It definitely won't hold for more than a few seconds. We need to go out."
Jimage and everyone else nodded, and they quickly rushed outside the building. But just as they stepped outside, they saw another two groups coming from the entrance in the distance.
"Flower River and Three Peaks Sects."
It turned out that Pharan went out to seek the Three Peaks Sect help. After all, both their groups already lost combatants, but the Sky Shifting Sect hasn't. Of course, just that wouldn't be enough to make the Three Peaks to join them. Only after they told about Krune's ability to take Godly Stones that they finally agreed to join forces.
However, when Illia used her technique to try to find Jimage's group, she discovered that they had gathered on another small island without any White Root attached. It was then that they found out about Jimage's group operation. Yet, they kept hiding their presence to see what was happening. Jimage's group had even built a formation outside to prevent Godly Energy Waves from escaping. Obviously, they were trying to hide something.
Pharan smiled at Jimage in the distance before saying.
"Hey, Jimage. I didn't expect to see you so soon. Hahaha!"
Jimage narrowed his eyes as he looked at Foltan Earko, the leader of the Three Peaks Sect group.
"What is it, did you decide to join hand to deal with us?"
Foltan Earko looked around before saying.
"That was indeed the case at first. However, the situation has cleared changed. How about you tell us what is this place?"
Jimage shrugged his shoulders.
"If I knew, I wouldn't have let you find out so easily. We also just found this place by chance a few hours ago. As for whether you believe it or not, I couldn't care less."
The Flower River and Three Peaks were indeed intending to attack together. But now, things changed too much. In the end, the three groups reached an impasse.
