Birth of the Demonic Sword - Chapter 773

Chapter 773
Noah had hoped for a better outcome . The flesh of a rank 6 being was an incomparable treasure, even more to him . Every piece of its body could become part of rank 6 inscribed items, objects with a power that only cultivators at the peak of the heroic ranks could wield adequately .

Yet, when the other parts of the snake's charred corpse fell apart and turned into dust, he accepted the fact that he had already been lucky enough to survive that encounter . When he considered the fact that he had even gained a lot from that meeting, the fact that he couldn't obtain the rank 6 body seemed reasonable .

A large bucket appeared in his hands, and his mental energy spread in the room to gather all the dust accumulated on the floor . There wasn't even an ounce of "Breath" in that material, but it still came from a rank 6 existence . It had to have some value in the hands of a suitable expert .

The dust floated inside the bucket, and Noah sealed it before storing it inside his space-ring . He didn't need to seal it since the formations inside his device were enough to prevent any form of spoiling . Yet, he was used to that practice due to the Body-inscription spell, so he simply executed it by instinct .

Noah focused on the chains afterward . They seemed to have lost their power after the death of the rank 6 existence, but he picked and stored them anyway . He couldn't leave them there .

When he turned to leave though, he found June and Faith staring at him with a tinge of awe in their eyes .

Noah's confused look was enough to force an answer out of June . "You do realize that you've killed a being in the sixth rank?"



Noah understood what she meant . The snake had managed to keep its shape even after the Tribulation erased every trace of energy from its body . The thought that Noah had caused the death of something so powerful had made both women realize how resourceful he was .

"The Tribulation killed it . " Noah said, dismissing the respect that they were giving him, "The retribution of Heaven and Earth is what caused its death . "

He meant those words . The three of them wouldn't be alive now if it weren't for the self-imposed chains restricting the snake .

The truth was that relying on Heaven and Earth had left a bitter taste in his mouth . He wasn't underestimating himself . He knew that few cultivators would have been able to revert the transformation in his situation .

Gazing at the laws made him able to complete his individuality only because his accumulation in his inscribed method was high . He was worthy of his new rank .

Yet, he couldn't help but see the event from the opposite point of view too . The fact that his individuality was ready to step on a higher level had been a fluke .

He had been smart in exploiting it, but he would be a dragon now if he didn't have a different path to complete during the transformation . His plan would have failed otherwise .




"Look at me in that way when I can kill existences on that level with my own hands," Noah said as he walked past the women and reached for the staircase .

He had always known that he was just a puppet when higher entities were involved . After all, he couldn't even see his lover freely since the forces behind them didn't get along .

Yet, completing his individuality had cleared most of his doubts when it came to the cultivation journey . There were crises that he couldn't predict, and beings that he couldn't control, but that wasn't a good reason to feel annoyed or angry .

Only his ambition to move forward mattered, together with the few things that his current power allowed him to care about . Everything else was outside of his grasp, and he wouldn't let it affect him since he had no control over it .

If he found a hindrance in his path to power, he would destroy it . If he lacked a road, he would create it . If his efforts ultimately led to death, he would accept it, knowing that he had lived just as he wanted .

June and Faith knew that Noah had changed after his meeting with the snake . Still, his personality was just starting to show that . Of course, June had noticed some slight differences in his behavior during their intimate moments, but most changes had yet to show up .



The three of them took all the scrolls and tomes contained in the castle and exited it through its main door . Heaven and Earth didn't react when they were in the hall, so they were confident that the calamity was over and wouldn't target them .

A wasted world appeared in their sight . Countless trails of smoke filled the sky in the distance, and most of the flora on the coastline of the continent had become nothing more than dust .

The island and the ruins on it were relatively intact since the Tribulation had focused its rage on the top floor of the castle, but a few black craters still filled its surface .

The three of them tried to contact the assets of their respective forces, but they didn't obtain an answer . Also, no mental messages had arrived after the lightning storm went away, which meant that every note left by their leaders had vanished together with the black clouds .

They were alone and on the opposite side of the continent . They didn't even know how the situation had evolved after the month spent inside the castle .

"We can only reach the volcano," Noah said, and his companions nodded at his words .

If those were their Mortal Lands, they could just wait for some of the higher-ups of their organizations to pick them up and escort them back to their headquarters .

However, they didn't know if the portal had survived the Tribulation nor if any of their companions were still alive . They didn't even know if the other heroic assets had just abandoned them when the lightning bolts started to fall .

So, they could only fly to the volcano and evaluate the situation by themselves . Only then would they be able to decide on their next move .

Noah closed his eyes and spread dense mental waves that carried an intense pride . His mental energy obtained a peculiar aura when it crossed the walls of his mind, and the environment instinctively reacted to his thoughts .

The "Breath" around Noah gathered under his feet and lifted him in the air . Performing such simple tasks even if the inscription of his walls wasn't complete was easy, but he needed to become used to them .

It felt strange for the "Breath" to follow his orders, but it felt natural at the same time . It was as if his mind was meant to impose laws on the energy around him . He just didn't know it before that moment .

The Demonic Sword, June, and Faith quickly reached him, and they didn't hesitate to move in the direction of the volcano .
