chapter-955
"Daybreak Force!"
Venganza and Ezequiel stared at the white flames with astonishment. It was a power whose nature rose beyond the boundaries of the laws, and its origin was not a Fourth Realm Bloodline.
There were similarities to the Samsara Truth, as it involved a form of rebirth. Yet, this did not influence the body and soul but centered around the mind and spirit.
The Emptiness Thearch and Revenge Thearch used their supernatural perception to see inside Noah's soul and bloodline, and it was clear to them how this new force generated granular changes in the young Neo-Demon. Their cultivation was high enough for them to understand the nature of the power and its principles.
The white flames were born from the darkness of the mind. It was a force that did not seal away and purge the evil part of your heart but used it as fuel.To use this power, you must accept the duality of people. Understand that just as there is an infinite potential for good, so is there for evil. To look beyond the paradigms of your universe and see life as something that existed beyond the limit of your Cosmic Wall and went through essential phases.
Traveling to a different universe was key in that change of mentality, as there was no mightiest demonstration of a phase of life than a universe's Epoch Explosion.
There were dangers in such a path, being the most obvious the born of apathy and nihilism, no longer seeing life as valuable due to its proliferating nature, but Noah did not face that problem.
From birth, his mother and elders taught him that every life mattered. Regardless of their origin, or background, everybody had the potential to rise to the apex of the universe and the right to live with happiness and dignity.
It was due to those teaching that Noah could bathe in those shadows full of malice and not lose himself.
As for the name of the new force, the Thearchs had to admit that the boy had the same lack of talent for naming as his father.
Noah's peaceful smile widened as he felt the Daybreak Force emerging inside his soul. He then raised his right arm and extended his palm, pushing the white flames forward, fighting against the golden light.Aion did the same, driving the golden light forward, unwilling to be overcome by the white flame.
"BOOM!"
"THUMP!"
The clash between The Flow and Daybreak Force carried such powerful energy that the sky above the arena began to change, giving birth to lightning and thunder.
Noah's eclipse and Aion's golden halo began to spin as their creator fueled more and more of their energy into their force field, wanting to prove their supremacy over the other.
The metaphysical manifestations of The Flow and Daybreak Force unleashed more power every second. One embodied the connection between all existing things, while the other was the mind's ability to rise beyond the darkness and into the light.
Seeing the clash between the white flames and golden light was an amazing sight, each occupying half of the arena. They represented utterly different paths, but their power was at the same level.
"Ahhh."
Aion sighed as he saw that the golden light could not overcome the white flames and waved his hand, retracting his force field.
Noah saw that and understood there was no point in the clash of force fields since neither could surpass the other. He also retracted his white flames and descended to the ground before taking out his spear.
Since both forces were at the same level in terms of power, they would have to fight and show who had superior mastery over them.
Noah set his spear ablaze with white flames while golden cosmic force covered Aion's arms and legs. Both calmly walked forward, and every step they took made their aura grow more powerful, cracking the ground beneath their feet.
The tension in the coliseum became palpable, and silence reigned as none dared to utter a single word. Everybody focused on the duo in the arena, from powerhouses to children, not daring to blink as they feared they could miss something.
Noah and Aion kept walking until they were ten meters away from each other and then flashed forward, generating a clash between fist and spear.
"BOOOOMMMMM!"
It was a simple clash between the Neo-Demons, but it generated a blast of flames and light that shattered the ground beneath their feet, leaving a massive pit.
The duo was left floating in the air, but none cared and carried on with their attacks.
Noah's spear and Aion's fist clashed hundreds of times every second, generating more and more powerful explosions, leaving nothing but a trail of destruction beneath them as they rose into the sky.
Noah and Aion were not using the extraordinary gifts and skills granted by their unique forces, limiting themselves to only using them to enhance their physical attacks.
The Neo-Demons sought to prove whose martial prowess was superior. The force augmentation that The Flow and Daybreak Force granted to limbs and weapons were at the same level, so everything depended on their martial skills.
Aion's technique was more refined and had greater variations, but Noah's body could deploy faster speed and reflexes due to his exceptional constitution.
The Human Lineage granted Aion a superb connection with The Flow, but it did not do much in terms of physical augmentation. The Daybreak Lineage, on the other hand, endowed a constitution that did not fall beneath that of Primordials.
That was why Noah was able to match Aion's martial skills, despite the second one having way more experience than him.
Neither of the Neo-Demons was smiling, nor did they show anger or frustration. The only thing in their eyes was a complete focus as they pushed their physical bodies to their absolute limit, trying to attain an edge over the other.
It reached the point that the fists and spear moved at such a fantastic speed that life forms beneath Rank 8 could only see a blur and reached its zenith once they had risen one thousand meters above the ground.
Aion pushed the spear's head down before sending a kick toward Noah's face.
Noah saw that leg covered in golden cosmic force coming at him, and he rotated his spear, using the bottom to stop Aion's kick.
The weapon and leg remained at a standstill for a few seconds before the Neo-Demons pushed them to the side, choosing to land an attack on the opponent even if it meant receiving one as well.
Noah took a kick to the face while the bottom of the spear clashed right on top of Aion's skull.
People saw how the Neo-Demons descended from the sky and crashed into the ground with immense force, leaving two great holes.
Aion and Noah immediately rose from the ground, with the first using threads of cosmic force to mend the broken bones and the second his regeneration abilities to heal from any damage.
Despite one of them excelling in battle experience and the other having a stronger physical body, their martial prowess was at the same level.
It only took a moment for the damage they received to disappear, but that clash only marked the beginning of their battle.
Since they could not prove their superiority in terms of brute raw power or martial skills, they would have to depend on the extraordinary gifts endowed by The Flow and Daybreak Force to defeat the other.
Noah was the first to act, raising his left hand and generating nine small dark moons. He channeled an ocean of evil energy into each one before shooting them toward Aion.
That attack surprised many since Aion had shown the ability to deviate spells and redirect them back to the caster if he wanted, so long-range skills should not work against someone like him, and Noah knew it.
Aion's eyes narrowed, and while it would have been easy for him to use Redirection and send those dark moons back to Noah as an energy cannon, he felt something was wrong and preferred to be cautious.
He did not allow the energy of those spells to enter his body and limited himself to redirect them. The fact that nine attacks were coming from different directions did not make things harder for the Neo-Demon with the Human Lineage, diverting all of them simultaneously.
Yet, even that was a problem since the instant Aion pushed the dark moons away, they shattered into pieces and released mythical beasts of white flames that lunged toward him.
Those creatures were immensely powerful and showed different attacks, trying to crush Aion to pieces. They were so close that trying to divert them should be impossible, but just like Noah showed extraordinary abilities, so did he.
Aion took a deep breath and put both palms forward before rotating his entire body, generating a revolving force field of golden light that destroyed all the creatures coming at him.
