Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

The World of Cultivation was something spectacular to see. Wide valleys and mountains with floating lands hidden in the clouds similar to the Beast World. Arrogant cultivators studying the Laws of the World ran rampant as they looked down on anyone beneath them.

Noah smiled at the many memories and secrets he had obtained from the Martial Uncle of the Mountain Sea Sect and the many disciples he brought to the Lost World of Atlantis. He knew more about the Mountain Sea Sect than most other disciples and Martial Uncles at this point.

He wasn't even phased by the memories of powerful cultivators that surpassed the LEGENDARY and MYTHICAL rank, as he himself had traversed and touched upon MYTHICAL in the span just over two or three months? [Thought Acceleration] worked in full force as his mind collected the abundant new information and he looked at ways of using it best, coming up with a few drastic ideas that could only be implemented in the future.

His mind moved busily as he ignored the beasts that looked like victors coming back from hard battles and going to enjoy themselves as their bodies became smaller and they went towards the beautiful buildings Noah had been making from using the [Architecture] function of the [Spiritual Land Management] skill these past few days.

The beasts enjoyed the colorful blue fruits from the [Snow Vines] as they entered the futuristic modern houses that they requested more of to be built. Another great thing happened this night, as the EPIC [Arctic Wolf] also finally joined the ranks of beasts that broke through to the LEGENDARY rank after consuming many of the fruits from the [Snow Vines]

The numbers of beasts continued to change under the panel that Noah looked forward to the possibility of fulfilling the requirements for upgrading the Spiritual Land to the Fourth tier in a few weeks or months.

He looked at the many grandiose buildings that now populated the Spiritual Land as he went towards the first luxurious modern house he had built. He was now making a habit of cooking and roasting things in this house and relaxing in the bubbling hot pool on the third floor while thinking.

He moved across the house while twirling the many [Water Crystals] that dropped from the cultivators. He would absorb them slowly and watch as the percentages for anything water element related rose to crazy levels.

While nearing the blue fireplace to absorb the gains in peace, he saw the miniaturized figure of the [Emperor Penguin] wrapping itself in a white towel as it climbed the steps towards the bubbling jacuzzi upstairs, an expression of arrogance and contentment in its face. Was he giving this penguin too much leeway nowadays?

Its usefulness only seemed to increase, and it was one of the more talented beasts in the Spiritual Land and continued to be the highest in power. The special trait that allowed it to easily send out spatial attacks and teleport around with ease was the envy of many other beasts.

This penguin was the only one brave enough to enter and use this house I normally used, with all the other ones enjoying the many other ones I built around the Spiritual Land. I turned my attention from this peculiar beast and focused on absorbing the [Water Crystals], wanting to see just how big the percentage increase would be for taking down so many cultivators.

Plans and hopes continued to bud and grow all around as Noah continued to move in the Lost World, continuing to increase in power as he met more and more beings from the vast universe.

One particular Demon Lord was visiting another, even more terrifying one. He had an apprehensive face as he looked towards the teenager surrounded by hundreds of thousands of green eyes all around.

"Empress, something unsolvable happened to one of the squadrons working under me."

His voice rang out respectfully as he watched the teenager eating something...unsavory. She was holding on to a large fried piece of meat that she bit into with enthusiasm, her abyssal eyes shifting to the lower-ranked Ruler.

"They should have been at EPIC rank at most? Why worry so much about it?"

She asked nonchalantly as she continued to eat her meal. Beside her in the underwater cave was a brightly glowing fire that she used to continue roasting the meat in her hands.

"They disappeared silently, without even being able to send a word. Our enemies could be grouping up and targeting us in this world. The other Rulers and I will be shifting our forces around and move even faster to locate the Supreme Treasure before the waters become any muddier with more enemies."

"Haha, don't worry about it too much. Even if it's a MYTHICAL rank moving around actively, look at what I did to this one."

Her eyes shifted to the side where an Atlantean lay, barely letting out bated breaths as his right leg was missing in its entirety.

"Haha, isn't it funny? He looked at me in horror when I sawed his thigh and began roasting it, like it was the most unbelievable thing. Doesn't he realize he does the same thing to the poor little fishes? To me, he's just another poor little fish that I caught in my net. Haha!"

The apprehension in the lower-ranked Demon Lord only rose as the conversation continued. The being that was getting roasted was something at the same rank as him, the fear he felt towards this Necromancer of Chaos only increasing.

"...Emperor Baal mentioned you would actively help us when you descended here"

A sharp light passed through Barbatos's eyes as a heavy pressure descended on the Demon Lord of the 29th rank.

"You think you can push me just by uttering his name?"

The voice was cold and emotionless, none of the playfulness and laughter that was there just a moment ago showing itself. The pressure Astaroth felt only increased as he let more words escape his lips.

"I meant no disrespect, Empress. There are just powerful enemies in the zones we're currently searching in, and it would be of huge help if we had your presence in the Abyssal Zone while we move around."

The pressure and cold light did not leave the teenager's face as she looked coldly at the Demon Lord. Her bottomless eyes locked on to the eyes of the kneeling Astaroth. It felt as if the eyes saw through all of his thoughts and secrets, making Astaroth feel extremely vulnerable under the gaze. Barbatos spat out the meat she had been chewing on and tossed aside the large thigh she was holding in her hands.

"What are the coordinates of this Abyssal Zone?"

Her cold voice made the Demon Lord sink even lower as he replied in a small voice. Barbatos looked at this kneeling figure and nodded, the green circles of light around them that spread out for miles began actively moving yet again.

A half-eaten Atlantean lay broken and barely breathing as the Necromancer of Chaos began moving towards the Abyssal Zone. The kneeling Demon Lord looked at this figure of the same rank as him pitifully, a blazing flame leaving his hands to put it out of its misery as he looked fearfully towards the leaving Barbatos. The effect that this small sequence of events would have on many powerful beings was yet to occur.
