Chapter 1233 1233. Hun
Noah couldn’t obtain significant improvements in a short time, but he still trained until he felt that his centers of power had grown a bit.
The breakthroughs were still far away, and his existence was slowly harmonizing now that he was striving for the peak of the heroic ranks. Only his mind continued to remain above his other centers of power.
Those years’ training wasn’t different from that done while the three organizations were inside the separate dimension. Yet, Noah had something to strive for now, and that quickened the pace of his growth.
Moreover, he was in the outside world. Thirty-seven and the other experts had done an excellent job making sure that the separate dimension always had "Breath", but nothing could compare with the new continent.
Noah had decided to place his training area near that landmass on purpose. He wouldn’t choose a worse place just because it was safer.
The other powerhouses had imitated him. Many caves appeared on the seabed around the new continent as the world’s experts resumed to prioritize their power.
Only God’s Left Hand and True Speed didn’t leave the old continent. The Empire had regained their source of enlightenment now that Shandal had returned.
Shandal had yet to make his move, but Noah’s plan didn’t involve him. He couldn’t care less about the world now that he had such an exciting project at hand.
Noah stopped his intensive training after five years. He found no reason to delay his hunts any longer since his centers of power had already grown a bit.
Also, the battle on the southeastern side of the continent was about to reach a critical state in that period. The Elbas family had stalled as long as it could, but the Eternal Snakes had finally managed to break through the peripheral defenses of those regions.
It was time to decide which side would win that fight, but Noah didn’t want that to happen. He felt no mercy for the Royals, but he would rather have the Snakes exhausting their resources than forcing them to escape.
Noah wanted that stall to continue. Forcing the Royals to go all-out could only lead to two disappointing outcomes.
The first saw the Elbas family escaping while preserving most of its resources, which was not ideal. The other was even worse. It viewed the Royals killing all the Snakes and keeping their corpses for themselves.
Noah had to stop that from happening, but there was only one thing that could prevent those situations. He had to help the Elbas family, even if only indirectly.
’I wonder if they will send some more creatures,’ Noah thought as he flew toward the southeastern regions while looking at the crack in the sky.
Nothing had changed around the crack. That opening didn’t even leak any superior energy, so it only acted as a constant reminder that there was something better in the world.
The cries of the divine beings resounded from time to time, but they didn’t pressure the underlings in the lower plane. The leaders in the Immortal Lands didn’t seem impatient.
Noah guessed that a few years barely counted as time for divine beings. The crack had remained open for less than ten years in the end. Even he could sleep for far more.
The new continent had returned to its wrecked state after the ten peak rank 6 Snakes explored it. The beasts even affected the energy contained in the ground, but their destruction wasn’t too concerning.
The ground was simply in pieces, but it was still capable of accommodating magical beasts and plants. It wasn’t as broken as when they hid inside the separate dimension.
Noah reached the southeastern part of the new continent and stopped to inspect the battles in those regions. The Snakes didn’t work together to destroy the defenses they met, so the Royals had an easier time keeping them busy.
The experts of the other organizations had already learnt a lot about the defenses in those areas. They had started to analyze those formations as soon as the battle with the Snakes began, so Noah could ignore the shining lines that appeared in his vision.
Yet, he couldn’t help but remain stunned when he saw the Snakes in action.
According to the reports of the experts, those beasts rarely stopped attacking. They had only taken a few short breaks during those years, but they still assaulted the formations with all their strength.
Their stamina was incredible, and they could also heal themselves by destroying the enemy’s attacks. Noah could only think that they truly deserved the title "Eternal".
’It’s time to begin,’ Noah thought as he diverted his gaze from the battlefields and inspected the regions around him.
That was a hunt, which meant that Noah could prepare for the battle. He felt confident that he could lure one of the Snakes out, so he didn’t need baits for that fight.
Noah had retrieved the remaining Instabilities situated in the traps connected to the separate dimension, but he didn’t know if he could use them efficiently against the Eternal Snake.
His main offensive had to come from his techniques, spells, and individuality.
Noah unfolded his aura once he found an area that was quite distant from the battlefields. Primary energy formed and accumulated in the sky while he filled the ground with Instabilities.
His ambition surged at some point. His cultivation level grew slowly, and spells appeared around his figure as the process continued.
A sea of saber-shaped runes and the Black Hole spell appeared around Noah and began to absorb the primary energy that was accumulating in the area.
Snore also appeared, and his wings unfolded to absorb part of that primary energy. The three abilities that required that process grew stronger as Noah let his ambition bring his cultivation level to the solid stage.
Noah’s level continued to grow even after it surpassed the limits of his real rank. It went slightly deeper into the solid stage before stopping completely.
That was the limit of his ambition. Noah needed to get closer to the solid stage with his real cultivation level if he wanted his individuality to produce stronger effects.
Noah let his aura run wild at that point, and a roar came out of his mouth. His cry requested a challenge to one of his old opponents.
The Eternal Snakes would normally prioritize their leaders’ orders, but one of them had suffered a lot because of Noah. When the beast sensed his aura and heard that roar, it couldn’t help but abandon its assault to charge toward his position.
Another roar soon echoed through the sky. The Snake replied to Noah’s challenge as it charged toward him. Less than a day had to pass before the creature reached its opponent.
Noah revealed a cold smile when he saw the condition of the beast. Its tail didn’t regrow in those years, and a long scar tainted its smooth head.
The Snake still carried the signs of the injuries suffered during its battle against Noah. The same went for its anger. The only reason why Noah didn’t need a bait was that the beast was still livid about that fight.
Black smoke began to come out of Noah’s skin. The fiendish armor soon covered his body, but three copies of his spell suddenly appeared next to him.
The dark matter came out of his chest at that point. A second defensive layer formed on top of the four fiendish armors, but that didn’t stop the generation of corrosive smoke.
Then, Noah controlled the Black Hole spell to move in front of him. The black sphere had become an unstable giant star that released violent flares after absorbing a massive amount of primary energy.
Snore and the saber-shaped runes were in the same state. The feathers, the sea of blades, and the Black Hole spell had reached the solid stage in terms of power.
The Eternal Snake didn’t stop its charge even when it saw all the techniques that its opponent had prepared beforehand, but Noah had no intention to face it head-on.
Noah waved his clawed hand, and the three copies of his fiendish armor flew inside the Black Hole spell. When they came out of it, they had become fifty meters tall giants.
