Chapter 2044 Unleash
Noah didn't know if his ambition had something to do with the monster's sudden advance or if the latter had only mustered its courage after the improved cultivators died. Still, the situation had turned upside-down in a matter of seconds. The blackness was moving toward the battlefield, and even King Elbas' inscriptions found themselves unable to do anything against it.
The cage opened as non-laws annihilated its shining inscriptions. King Elbas could send more power to those golden lines, but his actions would only buy some time. Moreover, he had no intention to divert part of his energy toward the monster when he had four privileged cultivators against him.
A pinkish layer appeared on the blackness' path, but nothing seemed able to stop the non-laws. Sepunia also found herself useless in that situation, but she wasn't to blame for her powerlessness.
The monster represented the perfect enemy to everything that existed, and Heaven and Earth's immense power was the cause behind that astonishing feature. The rulers were on the verge of stepping on the tenth rank through a path that fused the cultivation journey and actual worlds. Their incredible achievement was the very reason behind the non-world unfathomable abilities.
"Do you still plan to search for the non-world?" King Elbas taunted, even if worry appeared in his mind.
Noah's group had managed to approach the non-world relatively safely before due to its stretched state, but things had changed after the monster condensed its influence. The experts would have to dig their way through the non-laws to reach the core of that empty being, and none of them could rely on Heaven and Earth to help in the task.
"Who are you to speak about our plan?" Dinia asked before pointing at Noah. "Your leader is still spreading his ambition around."
Noah turned a deaf ear to those accusations. He didn't care about Heaven and Earth's intentions or the impending danger. He had to stick to his plan to solve the issues connected to his body.
"What should we do?" The dragon growled in a language that only Noah could understand properly.
The dragon's emotional state alerted everyone in the area about its worry and allowed them to get an idea about the contents of its question. Still, Noah didn't commit the same mistake while voicing growls devoid of feelings. "Don't move nor show any fear. We wait to see if the monster develops actual laws."
The dragon didn't like that answer, but it didn't dare to complain. Noah wasn't using his pride to subdue the creature, but that didn't change the dynamic of their relationship. Noah remained a leader that it had no desire to oppose.
King Elbas didn't need to look at Noah to understand his intentions, and Sepunia also accepted the reality of the situation after seeing her companions remaining still. She limited herself to show a confident expression as the threat of the monster grew closer.
The four privileged cultivators found themselves in a tough spot. The monster was destroying the cage, but the inscriptions all around the area never shattered completely. The experts were even directly on the empty creature's path, so they would have to make their move before their opponents.
Dinia initially gathered his power to resume his assault on the puppets, but he held back from launching any attack when he saw that King Elbas rearranged his assets to create a proper blockage. The latter wanted to use his opponents as guinea pigs before approaching the monster again.
The other privileged cultivators stopped caring about Dinia's initial intentions and summoned their power to join him in his offensive. Four different attacks capable of touching the solid stage shot forward at that point, and the army of puppets inevitably suffered losses.
King Elbas had fought Dinia near the island with the dark metal before facing him again inside the sky. That was already his third time against the privileged cultivator, but he still felt unable to create an actual counter to his world. The situation was even worse for the other three experts, which only led to a constant series of losses.
King Elbas had to watch his army falling apart, but he deployed the entirety of his expertise to make the best out of his assets. The scraps left behind by the puppets assembled to create larger creatures that supported the surviving disposable weapons before shattering again and repeating the process.
It didn't take long before the mighty army transformed into a single giant humanoid puppet that limited itself to express King Elbas' scorching world. Still, the privileged cultivators had forced most of the final energy inside those items to disperse during the previous exchanges, so their last opponent ended up being a mere middle tier asset.
The joint attack from the four experts quickly put an end to the last puppet, but their struggles to escape the incoming monster didn't end there. They tried to advance, but they suddenly teleported closer to the empty creature.
The impending danger didn't allow them to think too much about the event. The privileged cultivators shot forward again, but the world in their vision changed abruptly again. When their senses stabilized, they found themselves flying toward the monster.
One of the cultivators, an expert that seemed to have abilities connected with her blood, found herself too close to the monster to avoid it. A flare that contained non-laws had ended up on her path, and her figure clashed directly into it.
The impact immediately annihilated part of her body, but a sudden surge of power shot out of her and gave her enough energy to leave that dangerous environment. Yet, the cultivator didn't dare to move too much out of fear of the strange influence. Instead, she unleashed her new energy in the form of a series of scarlet currents that crashed on themselves to generate violent shockwaves.
The crashes uncovered a faint pink layer that had taken control of that part of the void. Sepunia had exploited the confusion and bright glow created by King Elbas' puppets to spread her influence and generate a technique capable of affecting those four cultivators.
The event made the other three cultivators focus on destroying the pinkish layer, but they soon understood that the spell was trickier than expected. Their abilities ended up flying in random directions as soon as they left their figures. Some even teleported to appear in distant areas.
One of the privileged cultivators decided to go all-out to match the violent power of the scarlet currents since they appeared immune to the pinkish layer. He covered his eyes with his hands before unleashing a series of tiny snake-shaped waves of white energy that generated explosions whenever they encountered external influences.
The scarlet currents and those white snakes quickly managed to open a path through Sepunia's technique, and the privileged cultivators didn't hesitate to take it. Yet, they suddenly noticed that something was off. They couldn't see Noah among their opponents anymore.
The cage and Sepunia's technique hindered their senses, but it was hard to miss something moving in an environment that lacked actual hindrances. They eventually found Noah hovering right past King Elbas' inscriptions. He was gazing at the monster as his dense ambition tried to transform it into something that contained energy.
"You can't seize the non-world!" Dinia shouted as he continued to escape with his companions. "That thing can't be controlled."
"I know," Noah mumbled while confirming that his ambition only made the monster stronger without actually changing its unique nature.
The Demonic Sword and the Cursed Sword materialized in Noah's hands as he retracted his ambition and applied it to his weapons. His unstable substance and the dark world activated to boost his features as he raised his blades and focused on a specific aspect of the monster.
"What are you trying to do?" Dinia asked before a massive slash with ethereal properties cut through the monster to reach its non-world.
The attack successfully clashed with the non-world and opened a deep cut in its structure. Something among that blackness vanished as the monster fixed its core, and another vague growl resounded. Still, that sound carried proper anger now.
"Noah?" King Elbas asked in confusion.
"We can't take the monster with us," Noah explained, "But we can still unleash it in the higher plane."
