Birth of the Demonic Sword

Chapter 1740 - 1740. Pool

The surface crumbled as the experts' attacks continued to fall. Even the mountains in the distance shook as the relentless offensive turned the entire area into a mess.

Noah remained high in the sky. His dark world and influence had already expanded in the area. His technique had created a dense sea above him, while his ambition had turned the entire scenery under him dark.

Flashes of light spread through the region as King Elbas, Robert, and Wilfred continued to release massive attacks capable of destroying the reinforced surface and ignoring the defenses in the area.

None of them knew what was under the surface, but they decided to find out only after creating a mess. They had even begun to sense the powerful presences hidden in the underground world after they pierced the terrain. Part of them hoped that the offensive would kill a few experts, but they didn't delude themselves.

Powerful auras soon surged past the surface. Noah could count three solid stage cultivators and multiple experts in the liquid stage with his consciousness. A fierce battle was waiting for him, but his group seemed to hold the numerical advantage.

The entire surface of the region eventually crumbled. The white water of the lakes seeped through the cracks that had opened on the entire area. Those lands were quite beautiful, but the arrival of Noah's group had ruined that marvelous scenery.

The trio never stopped launching attacks, but a silver halo eventually seeped through the various abilities and shot toward the mountain chain.

Golden inscriptions rose from the mountains and blocked the silver halo. The experts inside that light could understand that they were under attack, but they didn't expect their opponents to be so prepared.

King Elbas had created an array of barriers around their target. The mountain chain now isolated Heaven and Earth's followers. Their chance to escape from that sudden attack had disappeared in an instant.

The silver halo didn't hide the experts inside it. Noah's group could inspect those cultivators, and surprised expressions inevitably appeared on their faces.

Three hooded solid stage cultivators were carrying a massive pool made of polished marble. Noah's group couldn't see its insides since the experts had covered its opening with a metal layer, but that material didn't mask the influence seeping out of the object.

'Heaven and Earth!' Noah exclaimed in his mind before giving a mental order.

Snore unfolded its wings before flying inside the dark world above it. A rain of giant feathers soon fell from the technique, and the trio couldn't help but stop their offensive when they sensed the power contained in the attack.

Noah had used his ambition to boost Snore's power. The creature had reached the upper tier, and its strongest attack was falling after the empowerment of the dark world.

Noah's friends knew that the real mess was about to arrive. The entire area would disappear once the feathers exploded.

The feathers didn't only fly toward the solid stage cultivators. Some of them fell toward the center of the region, where weaker experts were still coming out of the ground.

A slaughter was about to unfold, but Noah inspected the scene with utter coldness. Those cultivators were Heaven and Earth's followers. They were his sworn enemies.

The three solid stage cultivators in the distance inspected the power contained in Snore's feathers before exchanging a glance. Determination appeared in their eyes as they removed the metal lid from the pool and uncovered the white waters that filled its insides.

The entire pool shone when it came into contact with the air filled with Noah's influence. Its waters started to boil as its radiance intensified.

A sudden beam of light came out of the pool. That radiance didn't follow a straight line. It chased after every feather flying through the sky and enveloped them in its blinding power.

Part of the light also tried to fly toward Snore. The white radiance didn't know where the creature was since the dark world was covering it, but Noah still worried about his companion.

Noah made Snore disperse and reappear inside his separate space. The light then reached the dark world and spread through its insides, absorbing every trace of dark matter in the area.

'This isn't the same absorption,' Noah thought when he felt how the light interacted with the dark matter. 'They are simply shattering its fabric without releasing energy. I bet that part of it fuels the pool.'

The light stopped spreading after it took care of the dark world. Its radiance dispersed through the sky and brought back some of the glow that Noah's influence had dimmed.

A small platoon made of liquid stage cultivators and weaker experts eventually came out of the ground. Most of those under the liquid stage featured severe injuries due to the recent offensive. Their poor mood even explained how many companions they had lost during the event.

Noah didn't move his eyes from the pool, but he stopped empowering Snore with his ambition. The drawbacks arrived, but the black hole suppressed them for the time being. The organ knew that it couldn't waste power now.

The pool remained inactive after the previous attack. It seemed that even the three solid stage cultivators didn't know how that item behaved since they shot curious glances at its waters.

A mocking expression appeared on Noah's face when he saw the concern in those three solid stage cultivators. The trio almost felt lost since they couldn't rely on Heaven and Earth anymore.

However, their next move left Noah quite surprised. The three experts placed their hands inside the pool and closed their eyes to experience Heaven and Earth's words.

Their faces experienced different emotions. They went from complete bliss to confusion until they eventually revealed only anger.

"Noah Balvan," One of the cultivators suddenly said without bothering to open his eyes. "Your recent success doesn't justify this action."

'Are they serious?' Noah wondered before the Demonic Sword appeared in his hand and a slash came out of its edge.

The slash transformed while it flew toward the three experts. Noah's ambition covered its structure and made it obtain insane levels of destructiveness. Meanwhile, the attack began to absorb the energy of the world.

The simple slash generated a vortex around its structure. The lingering energy in the sky created currents that flew toward Noah's attack and empowered its effects.

The three cultivators were still in a daze. They couldn't sense the outside world anymore, so they didn't move when the slash pierced the silver halo and fell inside the white waters.

The experts suddenly frowned. Something was happening inside the pool, but they couldn't understand the nature behind that event.

One of them decided to open her eyes and look at the pool, and her expression froze. A black spot had appeared among the white waters, and its darkness was spreading through the entire structure.

Noah's attack spread his chaotic influence and separated the white waters from Heaven and Earth's domain. The insides of the pool soon grew dark, and the other experts began to experience Noah's thoughts.

A wave of bloodthirsty thoughts filled the three cultivators. Noah's dense mental energy was poison for their minds. It was too heavy, and the anger that it carried seemed about to hurt their mental walls.

The experts quickly removed their hands from the pool. They even stopped carrying it with their mental energy. The item fell toward the ground and shattered into countless pieces. Its dark waters also spread through the ground and began to evolve its nature.
