Soon, another year went by. Krune had passed both the 8th and 9th Light Pillar tests without much issue. He also got another 16 Godly Energy Stones during this time. With Krune's level of adaptation to Godly Energy, he could have gone even further, but he took his time to properly cultivate. Besides, even though the number of cultivators and demon beasts around him decreased, their cultivation was not to the same. So advancing recklessly without the power to protect oneself wouldn't be a good idea.
Thanks to Heavin's Mental Energy and the Purple Tribulation Lightning Layer, Krune avoided being found for quite a few Divine Path Realms. That's why he stopped to cultivate on the Ninth Floor for the last year. The Godly Energy here was already quite high, and he could have time to absorb his Godly Energy Stones.
