Birth of the Demonic Sword

Chapter 648 648. Visitor

The effects radiated by his liquid "Breath" would spread to his techniques and spells when Noah used it as its fuel.

He noticed that when he began to test the modifications that he made on the will representing the diagram of the Black hole spell.

The dark sphere would autonomously absorb part of the "Breath" in the air around it since the sharpness radiated by its form destroyed it.

Of course, those effects were still barely noticeable.

Noah’s individuality had just begun to affect his centers of power, that was only his second step toward the higher levels of the heroic ranks.

However, it was enough to set a direction.

The effects of his liquid "Breath" weren’t carried by the energy stored inside his Liquid dantian, but Noah could guess how they would become a core aspect of his battle prowess in the future.

Tuning his abilities to his individuality was necessary if he wanted to wield the full power that his entity was able to express.

Yet, that was something that could only happen when his dantian reached the solid stage and matched the energy stored inside the Liquid dantian.

Noah spent weeks alone in that empty spot of the separate dimension to test the modifications on the Black hole spell.

He intended to fuse its diagram with that of the Dark blast spell to create an attack that could use the energy absorbed while defending to fuel a powerful offensive.

He was even trying to add a lasting effect to that attack to suit the dangerous situation that he chose to face better.

Flying through a barrage of powerful lightning bolts would surely exhaust his reserves of energy.

Still, that issue could be somewhat mitigated if he managed to use the power of the Tribulation to his advantage.

Nevertheless, the diagram of the Black hole spell could express a power up to the fifth rank.

Modifying and perfecting it wasn’t something that could be done in a matter of weeks.

The two rank 5 elders didn’t show themselves in that period, but Noah wasn’t worried that they wouldn’t agree to his decision.

He had seen how fond Flying Demon was of Dreaming Demon, and Noah had managed to give her back to him.

Dreaming Demon seemed to share the same deep feeling, so Noah was sure that they would feel compelled to follow his lead.

They were rank 5 cultivators, their individuality was formed, and they couldn’t just forsake it.

Their feelings were real, so they had to follow them, or the foundation on which their power was built would shake.

A few more weeks had to pass before Noah had a visitor.

Dreaming Demon left the castle and flew toward the young-looking heroic cultivator that was creating dark spheres in the air around him.

There was some respect in her expression when she reached for Noah, and also evident traces of gratitude.

"Demon Prince of the Chasing demon sect, words can’t express how grateful Flying Demon and I are for your help."

Dreaming Demon said as she performed a deep bow when she landed behind Noah.

She didn’t straighten her posture even after a few minutes had passed, and she seemed willing to maintain her bow until he said otherwise.

On the other hand, Noah didn’t give much importance to those formalities.

The feelings conveyed through her words were enough for him, what mattered next was her skill.

"It’s Hive now, the Chasing demon sect doesn’t exist anymore. The sect has fused with the other underground organizations of the Coral archipelago after claiming its independence and became the fourth force in the Mortal Lands."

Noah said as he turned and gestured to the elder to abandon that polite bow.

"Chasing Demon, the Patriarch, ordered me to look for the remains of the demon sects, which ultimately led me here. The power of the Hive would increase by a lot if you elders were to join it."

Noah briefly explained while hinting that he wanted to recruit the two Demons.

Adding two rank 5 cultivators to the Hive would make its power skyrocket, especially if those two entities were the Demons that had once ruled half of the Papral nation.

Generally speaking, their potential was similar to Chasing Demon’s, they could very well strive for the sixth rank if they managed to recover from their injuries.

"No need to worry. Chasing Demon is a friend, and we own our lives to the Hive. I’ve already discussed the matter with Flying Demon. We’ll follow you through the lightning storm and pay you back if we survive."

Noah nodded when he heard Dreaming Demon’s words, that was precisely what he wanted to hear.

"Flying Demon said that you divined this place with your abilities. I need you to discover the location of the exit, and I need you to be as precise as possible. Can you do it?"

Dreaming Demon closed her eyes after Noah’s question and spread her consciousness on the area around her.

Her mental waves stretched far beyond the capabilities of Noah’s mind, the power of a rank 5 mage was on a completely different level.

Her mental waves though seemed different from the normal ones.

They were thin and almost imperceptible, they gently seeped into the structure of the separate dimension and disappeared inside its matter.

Even Dreaming Demon’s consciousness became thinner during the process, Noah couldn’t help but think that her mind was leaving her body.

Then, she suddenly retracted all her mental waves inside her sea of consciousness and reopened her eyes.

Her gaze slowly regained some focus, but some drowsiness could be seen in her expression when she returned completely conscious.

"This dimension is frail. I can easily investigate it."

Dreaming Demon said when she analyzed the information carried by the retracted mental waves, but she felt the need to explain further when she saw that Noah’s expression remained stern.

"I can fuse my consciousness with the world around me for a brief period. Heaven and Earth are nigh-omniscient, I can see through their eyes when I fuse with the outside world and take glances at the future. However, this dimension is outside of their domain. I can only look into it when I’m inside it."

Her explanation was quite detailed, and Noah had to suppress his amazement when he heard it.

Dreaming Demon didn’t have the ability to divine future events, that feature was a consequence of the fusion of her consciousness with Heaven and Earth!

’No wonder she kept on sleeping even after one thousand years, I can’t imagine the kind of drawbacks that such an ability has.’

Noah thought as he gave voice to another question.

"Did you find the exit?"

Dreaming Demon shook her head while giving a simple answer.

"My mental sphere has yet to recover completely. I will only risk falling asleep again if I investigate further. I need some time, and Flying Demon needs it too."

"There is no hurry, and time is all we have right now. Focus on returning to your peak. We can prepare later."

Noah said after her reply, and she performed a bow before leaving to return to the castles.
