Chapter 1383 1383. Bickering

When Noah was inside the dark world, he had the power to defeat an entire army of rank 7 cultivators that contained five experts at his level.

That battle prowess was absurd for an existence who had just advanced to the liquid stage, but Noah wasn’t an ordinary cultivator. His new power also came from the Great Builder’s inheritance, so it wasn’t a surprise that he could express such strength.

However, every ability had weaknesses. The workshop was an incredible technique, but its creations were valuable only when Noah used them to overwhelm his opponents. In a situation when everyone was doing their best to run away, the dragons couldn’t express their real power.

Noah used his movement technique to reach his target in an instant. Chief Barret soon appeared in his vision, but Noah only saw a blur as he flew through his body.

The expert was under the suppression of the dark world. He couldn’t sense Noah. His body exploded before he could even understand what was happening around him.

The Demonic Sword had transformed into a massive blade during its slash. The dark matter inside the dark world and generated by its body had filled it with so much energy that its target couldn’t react to its power.

The slash unleashed a storm of dark matter that severed everything on its path. A hole also appeared on the cloud due to the massive amount of higher energy moved during the attack.

The sword’s target could only crumble when a sixth of the dark world fell on him. It didn’t matter that the living weapon was still in the lower tier. That amount of higher energy could kill any cultivator in the liquid stage if it hit them.

Chief Ash felt safe for most of her escape, but her body split in half when she was about to reach the edge of the dark world. Disbelief filled her mind when she saw her consciousness growing dark. During her last instant of awareness, she saw a strange Pterodactyl leaving her figure to merge with the black environment.

Snore’s dark beam was Noah’s strongest attack. That violent dark matter existed only to destroy even if it carried the power to create. It was the most offensive form of the copied elements, so it could disintegrate all the originals.

The Chief struck by Snore’s beam tried to fight back with a series of spells, but they crumbled under the might carried by the violent dark matter. The Blood Companion defeated its target in an instant and created another hole in the cloud due to the higher energy moved during its attack.

The last liquid stage expert was an old woman with long gray hair called Chief Taylor. A series of dragons came out of the blackness and threw their fangs at her while she tried to escape from the dark world.

Those puppets often managed to damage her body, but she never stopped escaping. Even when the dragons bit their left arm off and cut away one of her legs, she continued to fly toward the edge of the dark world.

Chief Taylor’s individuality allowed her to transform her skin into a crystal-like mineral featuring high defensive properties. The suppression of the dark world had slowed down the activation of that technique and had made her suffer severe injuries. Still, wounds stopped appearing on her after she completed her ability.

The dragons couldn’t hurt her anymore at that point. They had managed to pierce that ability before, but they didn’t have enough time to do it now. Their attacks could only make her bounce through different areas of the dark world until she eventually left that blackness.

Noah and his companions couldn’t stop her. They had too many opponents, and the shockwaves radiated by Divine Demon’s battle had destroyed most of his fake cores. The puppets that had gone after Chief Taylor didn’t have enough power to stop her advance.

The Demonic Sword, Night, and Snore proudly returned toward Noah after they defeated their enemies, but he revealed an annoyed expression at their sight.

"I killed him, Father!" The Demonic Sword exclaimed as roars mixed with its human voice.

Snore hissed to convey the same message, and it raised its massive reptilian head to express its pride. Only Night remained silent and took out Chief Ash’s maimed corpse from its empty insides.

The Demonic Sword and Snore froze at that point. They understood that they had forgotten something vital for Noah. Their attacks had been so massive that their targets had turned into dust.

"Nicely done, Night," Noah said as he stored Chief Ash’s corpse.

He also stored his target, and the dark world brought him the corpses of the other cultivators who had died in its range. His black hole would suppress the intact dantians and preserve their energy for later.

The dark world even brought all the storage items that floated through its blackness. Noah would study them later. He had to chase after Chief Taylor and put an end to his battle now. He would take care of his gains only after his targets were dead.

The dark matter flowed inside his chest as Noah recalled his technique. The three companions’ bickering resounded inside his mind, but he ignored it to search for his target.

His consciousness expanded as soon as the outside world became visible again, but he couldn’t sense anything other than Divine Demon’s intense aura. Noah didn’t even need to turn in his direction to understand that he had to prioritize his escape in that situation.

The entire region had turned into Divine Demon’s personal world after Boss Van survived his second attack. The environment sensed that Divine Demon could lose that bet, so it expanded his influence until it enveloped an even larger area.

The region had transformed during those short seconds. A large chunk of the ground, part of the sky, and all the remaining trees had turned into multicolored water that rose to surround Divine Demon.

The world was giving him the power that he needed to win that bet. Laws transformed on their own to create the perfect environment for his abilities.

Boss Van didn’t feel worried. It didn’t matter how much power Divine Demon amassed. He believed that nothing could kill him at that point, especially since he had many years left.

"Buying time won’t help you," Boss Van taunted Divine Demon. "I acknowledge the power of your individuality, but it’s something too troublesome to handle. What happens if you lose even once? Do you need to live without knowing defeat to advance?"

Noah heard Boss Van’s words even if he was flying at full speed away from that region. Nothing could force him to stay in an area that was about to witness Divine Demon’s last attack.

Noah shared some of Boss Van’s concerns. Divine Demon was a monster, but his individuality seemed to work against him. It forced him to turn any situation into a hard challenge, and it even made him risk his life against opponents that he could defeat easily.

Still, Divine Demon had managed to ascend and reach the solid stage with his individuality. Noah had to believe in his ability. The Demon was a maniac, but he wasn’t weak. Even his most reckless move hid boundless confidence.
