Birth of the Demonic Sword

Chapter 2035 2035. Noise

The breakthroughs of the dantian and the fourth center of power had finally granted Noah the chance to use most of his techniques. He had always been forced to abandon some of them during his cultivation journey, but everything had changed now. Except for his physical strength, he could deploy the incredible techniques developed and polished after countless years of training.

The workshop expressed a newfound power after the black hole evolved into a black crystal. New dark matter filled the fourth center of power and improved everything connected to that energy. The army of six-armed dragons could show its might by balancing the numerical disadvantage created by the sky, and some of Noah's companions could also go through a similar process.

Snore, Duanlong, Night, and Shafu were independent beings that could evolve without minding Noah's level. They obviously benefited from his improvements, but he had made sure to create room for their personal growth to make their existence flourish.

However, dark matter made most of their fabric, meaning that the current black crystal could further improve their basic level. The different features that the companions had gained after their independent breakthroughs didn't affect the process. Noah knew every inch of their bodies perfectly, so he could apply changes that could elevate their foundation to unfathomable realms.

The expansion of the dark world and the appearance of the six-armed dragons made Dinia and the other experts hesitate. They didn't fear those creatures, especially since they clearly lacked the fake cores required to bring their power to threatening levels. Yet, they couldn't help but fall into a daze in front of the similarities with the sky.

Noah's dark world had almost become a black version of the sky, with six-armed dragons instead of crackling avatars. The quality of his techniques actually seemed to surpass Heaven and Earth since they didn't need to suppress an entire world.

Noah could focus on his surroundings, so his dark world appeared denser and boundless in terms of potential. Moreover, the crackling avatars couldn't even begin to match the complexity of the six-armed dragons. Those beasts surpassed the white puppets without fake cores. Dinia and the others had no idea how strong the technique could be if Noah had access to enough rank 9 materials.

King Elbas, Sepunia, and the dragon inevitably felt happy in front of that scene, even if curses remained in their minds. Noah's breakthroughs had forced them to escape for the whole duration of the process, and they had yet to leave that dangerous situation too.

Instead, Caesar seemed to have gone crazy. He laughed without bothering to hide his happiness in front of the sky or his companions. Noah's power didn't only match his expectations. He had also surpassed them by a huge margin.

Noah could see everything happening around him. He liked seeing the best cultivators in the entire world hesitating in front of his power, but nothing made him happier than the pure might that ran through his very existence.

Noah found it hard to describe how much he had improved during those long breakthroughs. His incomplete world had forced his centers of power to experience countless rounds of enhancements without revealing its true potential. His mind and dantian would show stronger effects after the appearance of the black crystal, and the same went for the latter if he decided to rely on the substance inside his ethereal blackness.

The sheer weight that his assets applied to his body was insane, but the black crystal was keeping him in one piece for now. Noah could sense his muscles, bones, and skin screaming to fall apart, but the new dark matter reinforced his structures and created a temporary solution to the issue. Still, he knew that the last breakthrough had to arrive soon before his fabric shattered under that immense force.

'I need energy,' Noah thought as hunger seeped out of his figure and resonated with the dark world.

Hiding that feeling was impossible at his current level, but he had no intention to mask his desires. Waves of hunger flew out of the dark world and created a dense aura that warned everyone about his plan. The six-armed dragons even echoed those emotions. Dinia and the others couldn't help but take a step back in front of that dense power. They felt that they had awakened an ancient monster who would stop at nothing to eat them.

"Do you plan on helping now?" Dinia asked without moving his eyes from the army of dragons.

"Not at all," Caesar announced. "Everything is going exactly as planned. Can you even imagine a better enemy for Heaven and Earth?"

"You are a madman," Dinia cursed before glancing at the cultivators that had remained in the area.

The avatars had fallen prey to Noah's breakthrough, and the same had happened to the weaker cultivators that Heaven and Earth had teleported on the scene. A few gaseous and liquid stage experts had remained, but Dinia didn't want them to join the imminent battle.

"Go away," Dinia ordered before exchanging nods with the two privileged cultivators at his sides. "You are nothing more than food now."

The cultivators behind Dinia felt slightly offended by those words, but they didn't mind them too much when they inspected the power that Noah was unleashing. Their immortality would normally be at its peak inside the sky, but they knew that Noah could kill them easily at his current level, so a slight relief appeared in their minds when they understood that they could skip that battle.

Instead, Dinia and the other two privileged cultivators stepped forward as resolve appeared on their faces. Noah wasn't even a complete world, but their instincts sent fear to their minds as they got closer to the raging hunger radiated by the dark world. They were mighty experts who had survived Heaven and Earth's study for countless years, but Noah was reminding them what it felt to be mere prey.

"Do you plan on remaining hidden-?" Dinia tried to taunt Noah out of the dark world, but the six-armed dragons shot ahead before he could complete his line.

The army had nothing more than lower tier specimens that lacked fake cores, but the trio didn't dare to underestimate them. Dinia and his companions stretched their arms forward to fill the area with waves of energy that crashed on the dragons, but the exchange ended up causing unwanted reactions.

The dragons couldn't deal with that incredible attack. Even the addition of fake cores wouldn't make them strong enough to deal with three techniques launched by three privileged cultivators in the liquid stage. Yet, those creatures expressed Noah's incomplete world, and they could benefit from his improved aspects to deal with the attack accordingly.

The six-armed beasts decided to self-destruct before the attacks could fall on them. Their explosions created a wave of energy that clashed with the enemy offensive and infected it with their power. Dinia and the others saw black lines expanding like branches inside their techniques before crossing them to send power toward their figures.

The three cultivators quickly dealt with that energy, but their expressions froze when they saw black lines materializing on their figures. They had barely touched Noah's power, but he had already managed to infect them with his destruction.

The experts immediately understood that they couldn't let that battle last too long, but Noah didn't ask for their opinion. The black crystal shook as a series of fiendish figures came out of its surface and showed their devilish grins to their opponents. The iconic high-pitched noise of the cursed sword even resounded among the sky as those creatures began to laugh.

Author's notes: Quick summary. Two days ago has been a mess followed by 12 hours of sleep. I dealt with Chaos and decided to take a nap to reset my mind for Demonic, but I woke up to the news that my grandfather had died.

I'm writing now, but I want to clear a few things. I'm grateful for who purchases the privilege, but I understand that I've been a mess in the past months. My idea behind it has never involved money, which is why it's still the cheapest tier on . It's up to you to decide whether I'm worth supporting or not.

I'm out of space, so I'll continue in the .
