Birth of the Demonic Sword
chapter-1695

Noah and Night had already started to perfect the process of severing Heaven and Earth's laws. The dark matter and the absence of external obstruction also allowed the duo to take care of Castor quickly and without interruptions.

The mutated and severed energy released by Castor's corpse flowed through the dark matter and entered the black hole. Noah had no intention to create another underling. He only wanted the cultivator's power to satisfy his hunger.

A sense of peace temporarily filled Noah. His hunger vanished for an instant, but defeating another solid stage cultivator made his ambition intensify.

That event enhanced the various aspects of his law. His pride intensified, so his hunger followed. The feeling that Noah had just appeased returned stronger than ever as his aura spread past his technique.

The dark world eventually dispersed, but the sky didn't react to that event. Castor had died, and his law had left Heaven and Earth's system. Those rulers couldn't resurrect the expert since they didn't own his existence anymore.

The white light shone on Noah again. He glanced toward the sky before heaving a deep sigh. He had almost become able to affect that immense structure, but his cultivation level still fell short.

A glance at the battlefield where the rank 9 existences were fighting reminded Noah of his place. He was almost there, but he still needed to take a few steps forward.

Noah didn't manage to see much on the battlefield. White light filled the area and blocked any attempt to understand which side was winning. The power released on that spot was too intense for his senses.

'Soon,' Noah thought before turning toward his companions.

Wilfred and Divine Demon had also glanced at the battlefield featuring three rank 9 existences, and their eyes carried the same feelings that had dawned on Noah's face. They wanted to join that fight, but their cultivation level wasn't ready for that realm.

The trio eventually looked toward the other battlefield. Rebecca was still alive, but she had died many times while Noah had taken care of Castor.

Robert's arrival had turned the scales of the battle in King Elbas' group favor, but the expert had yet to master his new existence. He was stronger than Rebecca, but he didn't know how to use the Devils' power.

On the other hand, Rebecca wore a shocked expression. She couldn't believe that Robert had turned his back on Heaven and Earth. Her surprise didn't only come from his action. Rebecca didn't know that such a transformation was possible!

Robert assaulted Rebecca with waves of toxic rain. The latter tried to fend off the attacks with heatwaves that could cover the entire region, but she never managed to stop her opponent.

King Elbas and the others limited themselves to support Robert. They didn't need to do much in that situation since the expert could suppress Rebecca easily, but they still wanted to test their power against solid stage cultivators.

All of them had realized that they would have to fight far more Heaven and Earth's followers in the future. That was one of the greatest hindrances of the cultivation journey, so they had to learn how to deal with those immortal experts.

Noah had found his solution, but they couldn't rely on him for everything. They had to invent their own methods and fuse them with their laws. Heaven and Earth would find a way to suppress them otherwise.

Noah could understand that mindset, but the situation didn't allow him to waste time. The group had to run away from rank 9 threats, so Rebecca had to die as quickly as possible.

Robert continued to assault Rebecca with a barrage of spike-shaped purple masses. The attacks pierced the scorching waves of energy and engulfed the expert in a toxic storm.

Rebecca saw her entire body crumbling under that powerful offensive. She had to rely on weaker laws to deal with her opponent, so the difference between their power became immense.

However, Heaven and Earth never stopped sending energy to heal her, and Robert had yet to find a way to use his influence to stop the process.

Noah suddenly appeared between Rebecca and the wave of light that was shining on her figure. His aura expanded and created a dark patch that tainted Heaven and Earth's power and made it unable to heal the expert.

"What have you done to him?" Rebecca shouted when she sensed Noah's arrival. "How can you affect Heaven and Earth's power so thoroughly?"

Noah descended toward the expert and grabbed her neck. Rebecca had yet to fix her previous injuries, so her state was quite pathetic.

"I'm their mistake," Noah explained. "You see Heaven and Earth as infallible beings, but their very existence is the result of a failure. They have flaws like every other creature in the world, and I am their embodiment."

Noah didn't need to be so detailed in his explanation, but he wanted to see if the sky reacted to his announcement. After all, the other side of the Immortal Lands had given him many sources of energy already. He didn't mind triggering a few Tribulations to satisfy his hunger again.

Yet, the sky didn't care about his words. Heaven and Earth remained silent even after his bold explanation. Noah was killing their followers, and they didn't mind those feats.

"Wait!" Rebecca shouted when she felt Noah's grasp tightening. "Transform me too. I will be your underling and follow you everywhere. I don't even mind being your vanguard in the final battle against Heaven and Earth!"

"You fear death too much," Noah sighed as dark matter seeped out of his skin and covered Rebecca. "You don't even deserve your power. I'm not surprised that you ended up in Heaven and Earth's clutches."

"No! Wait!" Rebecca continued to beg Noah, but the dark matter soon silenced her.

'I actually want to try something before snapping her neck,' Noah thought, and an azure light began to shine from behind his eyes.

Noah activated Supreme Thief's technique and tried to steal Rebecca's law. The expert could create scorching heatwaves that Noah wanted to fuse with his flames. Yet, he didn't know whether he could seize laws from Heaven and Earth's followers.

The azure light shone until it invaded Rebecca's mind, but its power couldn't find anything once it entered that space. Something was definitely off. It was as if the expert didn't carry any memory of her law.

That was impossible. Noah had eaten Castor before, and he had clearly seen thoughts coming out of his shattered mental sphere. Heaven and Earth's followers retained their memories, but they seemed to exist in a realm that Supreme Thief's power couldn't reach.

Noah crushed Rebecca's neck after he found his answer, and Night promptly entered her figure. His ambition also started to mutate her law while his dark matter devoured her flesh.

It didn't take much to sever Rebecca's existence from Heaven and Earth's system. The duo completed the procedure even faster at that time, and the dark matter around them could soon vanish to bring them back into the outside world.

"Let's run," Noah ordered as Rebecca's energy flowed inside the black hole. "We have a long way ahead of us."

Noah didn't have an exact plan, but remaining in those regions wasn't an option. He had even begun to feel tired after battling many enemies without resting. His companions had to regroup and gain a clear understanding of the situation before deciding on their next move.
