Chapter 1439 Creation of the Laughing Tower  

"Please stop! I'm your friend!" A cultivator screamed when his lifelong friend, someone that he had accompanied through many battles, was now aiming for his neck with reckless insanity.

Grrrr!

As the cultivator continued to evade the attacks, his eyes became gradually heavy. Eventually, he, too, lost all semblance of intelligence, leaping onto his attacking friend.

The two close friends were now a pair of mindless zombies tearing each other apart.

Even more tragic situations happened everywhere as hordes of people swarmed one another. Mindless, lacking any semblance of their original selves, devouring everything in their paths.

Zombies!

And among them were flying zombies, cultivators that had lost their minds. All the Semi-God Realm cultivators already fell under the effects. The God Trial Realm cultivators were barely enduring, but their sanity was slowly slipping.

The situation began all of a sudden in tens of thousands of cities, alarming everyone. And in the somewhat cleaner cities, the cultivators somehow managed to kill the zombies.

But slowly, after some time passed, more zombies appeared. Even after they were killed, more and more continued to appear.

Standing in a discrete location, Krune raised his hand, pointing at the sky. "You've annihilated big sis's race once, almost succeeded in doing the same to the wisps as well, and countless other atrocities that had been committed in the name of the abolition tower. And today, you'll face my wrath…"

"The Kun Realm's retaliation!"

"And the birth of the Laughing Tower." Krune smiled, snapping his finger.

"Dammit, what's happening?" A lone immortal screamed in shock, having joined a group of God Trial Realm cultivators as they hoped to find a solution by racking their brains together.

But suddenly, his lips curled into an obvious smile as he opened his mouth. His vocal cord moved up and down as slowly, gruntles resounding giggles resounded from him, soon increasing in pitch into raucous laughter. "Ha! Ha! Ha! Glory to the Laughing Tower!"

Immediately, his Godly Energy began to flow in reverse as his meridians crumpled into his dantian, sucking his body into a tiny vortex that spun rapidly, compressing itself into a dot. All this happened in an instant, followed by a resounding explosion.

Boom!

The explosion rapidly killed all the immortals in the vicinity. There were barely any survivors, with the lucky few or the unlucky few, in this case, soon losing their sanity.

Boom! Boom!

Cultivators and immortals alive were either losing their minds or exploding one after another.

Suddenly, if someone gazed at the Mong Realm from high up in the sky, they would see millions of bright spots where explosions happened.

A level of retaliation unlike any other, with a level of decisiveness and viciousness that was almost unprecedented, destroying everyone without any discrimination.

A wisp's wrath!

The God King had just arrived at his meeting location when his son, Mon-Du-Badak, suddenly broke out into laughter. "Glory to the Laughing Tower!"

Boom!

"…" The God King stared directly into the explosion that enveloped him, staring right into the sea of fiery flames and terrifying heat. However, he stared right into it, walking towards the center, his expression one of rage as he wasn't even the least affected by the explosion.

He clenched his hand into a fist, causing the explosion to dissipate as he stared coldly at the Mong Realm Spirit, observing that it was currently sprawled on the ground, grunting like it had an upset stomach.

That wasn't all!

Suddenly, a small portion of its body blackened before shattering.

"So, this is their scheme! Everything else is but a mere distraction." He grunted, snapping his finger as immediately after, barriers appeared around every single zombie in the Mong Realm, sealing them up.

He didn't want them to damage the Mong Realm any further.

But in response to his actions, Krune only smiled, snapping his finger as even more cultivators affected by the Hunger Law turned into zombies. Moreover, they had already released their aroma everywhere.

It was already too late to think just sealing the zombies would be enough.

The God King was shocked to see even more zombies beginning to appear all over the Mong Realm. He waved his hand, bringing in an immortal that was affected, probing through him before frowning. "There are no traces of any foreign elements here?"

He then probed further in shock, murmuring, "This is a Law of the Mong Realm?"

"No, there is no such law. But somehow, they masked it to make it our Law?" he muttered.

Of course, that was because Krune never directly attacked them with his abilities. He first stole a portion of his target's strength and returned it to the source while affecting it with his Hunger Law.

And once it returned to its host, this would fester as the Hunger Law would take root in his spiritual incarnation.

No matter what creature it was, as long as it was a fleshly being, it experienced hunger.

Of course, immortals didn't need to eat. But, that didn't mean the concept of hunger wasn't present in them. It was, of course, there.

And this was where the Hunger Law had taken root within, the reason none managed to sense it to date.

It would just feel like they were hungry. And since mortals ate while hungry and immortals no longer felt hunger, none noticed it, allowing it to gradually grow more and more.

It was pretty much like a virus but just more deadly. It wasn't an entity or an organism. It was just a concept.

The concept of hunger.

That was the Hunger Law, Krune's original Law.

Tuka-N-Ketton abruptly arrived before the God King, speaking in fluster, "This was the Kun Realm Champion's exclusive ability. Henfa-L-Talon said only Krune had this ability. But this…"

"Henfa-L-Talon has been sealed, right?" The God King frowned in response. "Where's he now?"

Tuka-N-Ketton hurriedly led the God King beyond the Mong Realm to the chaotic spiral within which a Sub-Realm was sealed, suddenly screaming in shock, "The sealed Sub-Realm! Where is it?"

"It took them time to notice." Krune laughed, for he was able to sense their actions through the Hunger Law. Of course, he was clearly aware of Henfa-L-Talon's position, having relayed it to the Garg Realm that freed him and set him free within the Mong Realm.

"And now, a God that fell to my ability is set free in your realm. What will you do now, God King?" Krune dusted his clothes as he gazed at the entrance to the Secret Realm opening before him.
