Chapter 1043: 1043 There was no sign of inscriptions, but they noticed how certain rocks appeared sturdier than others . The wall didn't emit any aura at all, and Noah could barely see laws in its fabric .
"Do you want to knock or?" Flying Demon asked when he understood that they had found something .
Noah glanced toward Dreaming Demon, but the latter shook her head before explaining herself . "I can't crack it open silently . "
Noah shrugged his shoulders and stepped forward at that point . His fist quickly landed on the rocky wall and made the entire area shake .
To the trio's surprise, the wall didn't crumble, and even the seabed under it remain intact . Noah risked to create large fissures if he didn't control his strength when he walked, but those rocks didn't budge even when he used his real power .
'They are good,' Noah thought before launching a relentless offensive . His fists never stopped crashing on the wall, and countless shockwaves spread through the sea .
The rocks began to show cracks only after Noah had punched them for a whole minute, but the first breach started a chain reaction that made the entire wall fall apart in a matter of seconds .
The trio saw how a large entrance to an underground structure appeared once the wall crumbled . Many shining lines covered the tunnel that led inside the continent .
The world lost its light for a second as Noah launched a wave of black flames inside the underground structure . Most of the shining lines went dark after the fire ravaged their surface .
The entrance had been able to stop Noah for a whole minute, which hinted that the defenses inside could threaten existences at the peak of the fifth rank .
Noah had decided to use his flames to take out some of the defenses beforehand, and Dreaming Demon had the same thought . Her mental waves spread inside the tunnel right after the fire dispersed, and the remaining shining lines went dark at their passage .
"It's clear," Dreaming Demon conveyed, and Flying Demon took the lead of the group . White flowers grew inside the tunnel as he moved forward, and ice spread from them, stopping any function of the materials used in that place .
Dreaming Demon and Noah chased right after him and repeated the process whenever inscriptions reappeared in their view .
Noah didn't fear for himself . He had taken a bite of the Hydra along the way, and his dark star was quickening the healing process . His skin still carried some wounds, but they were closing quickly .
On the other hand, some of the most potent defenses in that place could be deadly for the Demons . They felt astonished that rank 5 experts had built such a dangerous structure, but the other world saw many exceptional inscription masters in its regions .
The trio crossed a series of large but empty halls . Noah and Dreaming Demon could sense that someone had been inside them recently, but they didn't find any trace in the corridor .
Any expert inside the underground structure had left hours before they found that place, and it seemed that they had managed to clean it up thoroughly .
"Get out," Noah conveyed through his consciousness . The sea's water had invaded the place after he destroyed the entrance, so he had to use his mental waves to communicate . "I'll rush through it . "
The Demons nodded at his words and retreated . Noah waited for them to send him a mental message before sprinting through the structure's remaining part, uncaring that shining lines appeared again .
Strange and metallic sounds resounded inside the structure as Noah swam past the inscriptions . Various puppets appeared in his view, but he headbutted them as he moved forward .
More empty halls appeared in his view, and more defenses activated at his passage . Noah saw beams made of different elements, noises that aimed for his sea of consciousness, and an endless amount of puppets with various functions .
The tunnel had become crowded as Noah triggered all the defenses that he found . His flames and his body's prowess took care of them most of the time, but he had to summon Snore for a few of them .
'It's hard to believe that no powerhouse has helped to build this,' Noah thought as Snore landed the finishing blow on a giant made of light that radiated the power of a being in the sixth rank .
His consciousness suddenly sensed the presence of a group of cultivators coming from the last hall . Noah's speed increased at that moment, and he crashed on the walls of that room when he felt that their auras were becoming fainter .
Noah didn't even look at the faces of the experts . His attention went on the teleportation matrix that illuminated their figures and was about to bring them back to that structure .
The Demonic Sword shot forward before he could even order anything . Snore's head appeared and froze the floor to slow down the accumulation of "Breath" required for the teleportation .
Noah's weapon roared as it landed at the experts' feet and released a claw that destroyed the diagram's center . The weaker cultivators on the teleportation matrix died when the corrosive smoke enveloped their bodies, but those in the fifth rank managed to get out of the black cloud .
The light dimmed until it vanished entirely, filling the hall with darkness and silence . However, Noah steps soon resounded inside the structure, and the cries of his assets added pressure on the trembling experts .
Snore coiled around them as hissing noises came out of its mouth . The Demonic Sword growled while it circled them and pointed its sharp edge on their faces .
Noah neared the group of experts, but his eyes fell on those wearing the dark robe of the Hive . He didn't recognize anyone in the group except for one of them .
"Luke," Noah said as he stared at Nina's grandson . "Why?"
Luke had become a rank 5 cultivator after the secret deal with the Shandal Empire . He was only an expert in the gaseous stage, but any existence in the fifth rank had the potential to become important in the Hive .
"You gave us freedom," Luke said as he lowered his head, "But peace didn't reach our hearts . I dishonor my grandmother by betraying you, but I couldn't live in the same world as Shandal anymore . "
Noah stepped forward, and the group of cultivators retreated until they reached the back of the hall .
"I-I wanted him to stay away forever!" Luke continued to explain . "He will always be in my head unless I place the boundless void between us!"
The group opened a path for Noah as he walked toward Luke . Nina's face appeared in his view, but he spoke with his usual coldness . "You are going to tell me everything you know . Then, I'll kill you . "
