Birth of the Demonic Sword

Heaven expressed its anger by creating an array of black clouds. Their aura converged on Night, and the crackling noise they released became more intense when they identified the creature.

Night had come out of its chrysalis when it survived the breakthrough. Magical beasts would normally face only the Pain Tribulation in their journey toward the higher ranks. Still, some of them did something to trigger Heaven's anger and had to face its punishment too.

The Heaven Tribulation caused by Night's breakthrough didn't carry any deep feeling. The black clouds were a mass of destructive power that wanted to kill the Pterodactyl. They wouldn't give any reward to the creature if it managed to survive the punishment.

The dark clouds condensed quickly, and lightning bolts soon fell from their surface. The attacks converged on the still confused Pterodactyl, but they vanished when a shadow appeared between them and the creature.

Those lightning bolts were capable of quasi-rank 7 might, but Noah was a complete god now. His sole presence was able to destroy the attacks of the Tribulation.

His aura wasn't a simple expression of his consciousness anymore. It also carried the true meaning radiated by his dantian. Noah's existence had become a law capable of suppressing other laws.

The lightning bolts were only quasi-rank 7 attacks. The chaotic laws that they contained could only crumble when they touched Noah's dense and sharp ambition.

'Is Heaven delusional?' Noah wondered as he stared at the sky and sat on one of the Pterodactyl's black lines.

Night had become massive after the breakthrough. It was now almost forty meters long, but its size didn't affect its agility. Moreover, its peculiar body had obtained strange features in the divine ranks.

The black lines that made Night's body left dark marks on the world's structure whenever the creature moved. They could damage the sky's fabric by simply existing, and that spoke for their sharpness.

At its current level, Night had surpassed its previous peak. Its new body had allowed it to evolve into an existence that could destroy laws at ease.

It wasn't a surprise that Heaven and Earth wanted to destroy such a creature. Its sole existence was a threat to their laws. They couldn't even imagine the amount of damage that it could inflict once it attacked.

However, those Mortal Lands were still Noah's domain. He had defeated Heaven just a few centuries ago, but the world had sent black clouds against him again.

'I guess I need to remind you why I won in the first place,' Noah thought as a human-shaped crack replaced its figure.

"Leave it to me!" Night said through the connection with Noah's mind. "I want payback for that damned shiny world!"

'I don't have time to waste,' Noah replied. 'You will get your revenge in the Immortal Lands.'

Noah reappeared among the crackling clouds, and the expansion of his consciousness attracted the Tribulation's attention. He then raised his hand, but another voice reached his mind before he could perform his attack.

"Father, father!" The Demonic Sword said through its connection with Noah's mind. "Me, me!"

The living weapon wanted to help Noah in the battle, but he couldn't let it express its real power. The world couldn't withstand it.

'You will also wait for the Immortal Lands,' Noah replied. 'We have become too powerful for this world.'

The destructive power contained in the area converged to fend off the intruder, but the sparks stopped moving when Noah's aura covered the entire Tribulation.

The dark clouds' fabric began to tremble as Noah tried to affect their laws with his aura, but the Tribulation appeared immune to that type of damage.

The clouds had a deeper true meaning protecting them from Noah's aura. They wouldn't let anyone command them. They took orders only from Heaven and Earth.

Noah noted that piece of information in the back of his mind before waving his hand. The Tribulation carried innate defenses that his power couldn't overcome, but they weren't enough to prevent its destruction.

A horizontal fissure opened in the sky. Noah had only waved his hand, but the world couldn't endure the might generated by that gesture.

The slash divided the array of clouds into two parts, and their energy soon flew into the void. Noah didn't even have the time to absorb that power since the Tribulation vanished in an instant.

'I have no control over my strength,' Noah thought as a sigh escaped his mouth.

His power had increased by leaps and bounds after his recent breakthroughs. He had even taken his time to fill the black hole with rank 7 darkness, so his whole existence had already surpassed the limits of a normal god.

The lower plane could barely contain the pressure that he released. Noah could feel the fabric of the world breaking apart every time a new living being appeared.

Noah had to leave soon, or the world would go back to its previous destroyed state. Still, he didn't care about the matter enough to ignore some of his projects.

He would still complete all his preparations before his ascension. He didn't dare to reach the Immortal Lands with unfinished projects.

"That was my kill!" Night shouted as it flew in the air.

The Demonic Sword came out of Noah's robe and roared at the incoming Pterodactyl, and the two began to bicker over something that Noah didn't even bother to hear. Snore also formed on its own and joined the conversation between the two companions.

Noah returned to the surface and planned his next moves. He was almost ready to leave. He only needed to take care of a few things, and he would be good to go.

He needed to create a few tools that could help him in the Immortal Lands. Noah knew that he couldn't build weapons due to the lack of valuable materials in the lower plane, but he wanted to make a storage item.

The spells inside his sea of consciousness had to reach the seventh rank. All his diagrams had to evolve into abilities that he could use in the higher plane.

That project didn't worry him since he could use the Divine Deduction technique at its best now. His rank 7 mental energy could activate its real power and boost his mental capabilities far beyond their normal limits.

Noah had to leave the testing phase for the Immortal Lands. The lower plane would crumble before he became used to his new power.

The projects about his power ended there. Noah's other assets had already reached the divine ranks, so he could theoretically leave once he improved his spells. However, he had two external matters to handle.

The first one saw the creation of an inheritance. It was a tradition among cultivators to leave a mark of their lives on the world, but Noah wanted to leave something behind for a different reason.

The inheritances had given him the chance to reach his current level. Noah had obtained essential items and techniques even when he failed to become Eccentric Thunder's heir. Their importance in the cultivation journey was immense.

Noah wanted to give other cultivators the same opportunities that had allowed him to reach his current power. Selfishness was necessary in the cultivation journey, but he didn't need it now that he was about to leave the world.

'I have to handle one last project after all of that,' Noah thought as the red crystal inside Snore's body appeared in his mind.
