Birth of the Demonic Sword

Chapter 1731 - 1731. Mission

The celebration eventually ended, and Noah decided to start his plan right away. June and many other higher-ups chose to settle in random areas of the domain to resume their cultivation, and most of the underlings spread through the regions to resume their duties.

Noah took a few experts for himself. He needed Robert and the Foolery to spread the chaotic laws faster, but others decided to follow him even if their purposes didn't involve the transformation of the higher plane.

Kirk decided to fly with Noah to bathe in his ambition and gain insights about the realm past the seventh rank. Alexander joined the mission to handle the few remaining instabilities of his mental state. Sword Saint didn't have much to do now, so he escorted the group to exchange ideas on sword arts.

Even King Elbas decided to join the mission. He wanted to study the new materials generated by the chaotic laws, and his experiments required those mutations to touch new fields. His existence also had to find a way to counter Heaven and Earth, and helping Noah would show him the right path faster.

The group began their mission deep into the Outer Lands. They used King Elbas' items to keep track of their advance, and they opted for a methodical approach to the matter.

King Elbas also reviewed Second Prince's defenses and improved some of them. Still, a few praises escaped his mouth, and everyone remained speechless whenever they heard them.

The transformation happened rather quickly with the three experts in the same regions. The Foolery's blue bushes could also continue to spread the chaotic influence once they filled large areas, so their work proceeded faster than they expected.

The team visited every region and inspected every corner of that massive domain. Most of those lands were empty due to the defenses on the borders, but strategies to repopulate them were already ongoing.

Noah's understanding increased as the process went on. His ability to mutate matter belonging to Heaven and Earth improved as he gained a better idea about his existence.

The mutations generated by his ambition could enlighten Noah about certain aspects of the world, and his existence as a whole ended up benefitting from that understanding.

The transformations featured destruction, creation, and an innate d.e.s.i.r.e to strive for higher forms of power. That process reflected Noah's existence, and he learnt a lot about himself by studying it. He could see his greatness, but he also noticed his flaws.

Part of the mutated matter would take life as an effect of Noah's ambition. It would even naturally inherit a d.e.s.i.r.e for power that made it absorb the "Breath" around it.

The process was far from smooth. The newborns didn't have any understanding of their power or surroundings. They attacked mindlessly, without caring if something stronger than their existence in the area.

Noah's powerful mental sphere took care of every mental instability that tried to appear in his mind. His ambition was relentless energy that forced him to d.e.s.i.r.e more power, but he could preserve his reason thanks to his consciousness.

Yet, it was clear that Heaven and Earth would try to exploit his flaws during a possible punishment explicitly aimed for him. His mind was resilient, but he didn't feel completely confident when his opponents were the rulers of the world.

Alexander helped Noah improving his mental sphere. The ghosts inside the hybrid's mind could enlarge Noah's consciousness by a lot since only the strongest were still alive.

Noah saw many ethereal figures belonging to upper tier magical beasts. His power made him able to face those creatures and devour their will, but the process was inevitably slower since he could only have mental fights against them.

Still, Noah and Alexander had a lot of time to spend together, so they approached the project slowly. Noah even waited a few months among the procedures to restore part of his mental walls' firmness.

Another flaw that became evident after inspecting the transformation of the world was the scarce harmony that a region obtained after most of its matter had mutated.

Noah's ambition didn't care about the region as a whole. It influenced everything in the area and didn't mind if some parts became stronger than others.

Some regions ended up crumbling because a small area managed to devour its surroundings after the mutations. A simple unbalance of power in the land had been enough to bring all the environment near its death.

'I naturally see me as the surviving mutated spot,' Noah thought while continuing the mission, 'But what if I'm the region? What if a sudden chance to gain a quick breakthrough destabilizes my existence and kills me?'

Noah had a counter for that flaw too. His black hole handled all the issues that could bring to an eventual destabilization. The organ could even force an uncaring existence like the parasite to harmonize with the body.

Yet, the issue remained. Noah's opponents were the rulers of the world, so his certainties could turn out to be wrong during a special punishment.

Kirk went through many levels of astonishment during the travel. Noah's pace allowed him to handle part of his training while he followed the group, but he still felt the need to seclude himself after being with his Master for a few years.

That experience was priceless. Kirk piled insights inside his mind but suppressed his d.e.s.i.r.e to seclude himself. The mission would take a while to end, and he didn't want to miss a second of that travel.

Heaven Tribulations fell from time to time on the group, but the experts barely considered those events a challenge. Alexander was with them in the end. They wouldn't fear anything below the ninth rank.

The transformed regions grew darker before a blue color filled them. The entirety of the Legion's domain slowly mutated as the group continued their long journey.

Noah almost couldn't believe his eyes when he saw golden inscriptions appearing in front of him. The event marked their arrival on the other side of the domain and told the group that the mission had reached its final stages.

The experts quickly took care of mutating the few remaining regions on the border. The process only lasted for a few years. After that, Noah could claim that the entirety of the Legions' domain had turned into a blue spectacle that didn't belong to Heaven and Earth.

"You didn't need to escort us until the end of the mission," Noah said to Alexander. "You don't have mental flaws for now. You can resume eating magical beasts."

"It only seemed proper," Alexander laughed.

His mood had greatly improved after his mind stopped containing the troublesome ethereal figures of the magical beasts. Alexander had reached a peak that his innate flaw had never allowed him to touch.

"You should focus on your breakthrough now," Noah ordered when he turned toward Kirk. "This mission made you waste many years already."

"I wouldn't call them wasted, Master," Kirk politely replied. "I don't know how to repay you for this experience."

"Easy," Noah snorted. "Get strong quickly enough to help with the battle against Heaven and Earth."

Kirk nodded before shooting toward the spot that Noah had appointed to be his new training area.

"What are your plans?" Noah asked after turning toward Sword Saint. "I didn't think you would stick around for so long."

"I figured that I could wait a bit longer before returning toward the stormy regions," Sword Saint announced. "I have even started to believe that I won't go back on my own."

"I have a lot to do here," Noah replied.

"You'll see," Sword Saint continued. "I'll give you one or two projects before getting bored of this part of the Immortal Lands."

Noah wanted to answer something, but a series of figures suddenly appeared in the distance. Wilfred, Jordan, and other hybrids were carrying scared magical beasts toward the blue domain.

"You are here!" Wilfred shouted when he noticed Noah and the others. "Contact Luke. He has found something about the secret organization!"
