As its momentum continued to reduce, so did its altitude before the Cloud Whale crashed into the ground, forming a massive trench that continued to span past as the Cloud Whale dragged itself through the ground.
During this time, Krune constantly collected the tiny creatures, bringing them closer to the Cloud Whale. As they suffocated to their deaths inside, their respective laws melded into him, sharply raising his comprehension to the extent his Divine Sense was able to keep up with the speed he was going.
Soon, the power of his Divine Sense surpassed his Mental Energy, shocking Krune. In fact, this was the first time it had happened ever since he had embarked upon soul cultivation.
