Chapter 1125: 1125 Noah was only a peak rank 5 cultivator in theory, but his attacks could threaten defenses capable of blocking peak gaseous stage powerhouses . That was unreal for the standards of the cultivation world .
The Royals could understand that if Noah used his higher energy to express a prowess superior to his current level . Yet, Noah only relied on his bare hands to launch those attacks .
There was only an explanation for that power . Noah had begun to walk the path to become a law even if his dantian didn't evolve to the next level .
As for how much power his individuality could wield, the Royals couldn't predict that . They had come in contact with his existence, and that had proven that his potential surpassed their Father's .
There was another issue connected to that battle . Noah had used only his slashes, while the Royals had relied on their best spells .
First Prince and First Princess had initially thought that they could exhaust Noah due to his weaker dantian, but that appeared as a tiny hope after the last exchanges .
"Is that it?" Noah taunted them . As long as they kept on wasting "Breath", he would seize an easy victory while saving his darkness .
Still, those tricks couldn't work on powerhouses, especially after they had understood his intentions . Even the impulsive First Prince had a brain under his thick arrogance .
The duo exchanged an understanding glance and dispersed their flames . A series of inscribed items came out of their space-rings . Both Royals wore golden armor and wielded longswords that emitted flames on their own .
Golden shields surrounded their figures, and an array of runes reinforced those already incredible defenses .
The Royals then took out a few talismans and red runes fused with their bodies when they broke them . Their auras surged when the runes lit up, and more flames appeared on top of their weapons .
The duo had come prepared for everything . First Prince and First Princess could even come up with ways to fight without wasting "Breath" in a few seconds .
'This might be troublesome,' Noah thought . The Royals weren't weak, and their expertise in the inscription fields made them tricky opponents to fight .
It would be different if Noah could go all-out, but he didn't have a way to break those defenses without wasting more energy than his opponents . He would come out weakened no matter the outcome .
'I guess I can't hold back too much,' Noah concluded as the Demonic Sword came out of his space-ring and landed in his hand .
Night complained that he had chosen his weapon rather than it, but Noah ignored it as the dark matter came out of his body and took the shape of a giant snake .
The Blood Companion's size had increased since Noah's dantian had reached the peak of the fifth rank . It was more than one hundred and fifty meters long now, and its structure appeared slightly unstable .
Flashes of light flickered on its black body whenever the higher energy in its fabric underwent a surge of power . Those were dark glimmers, but they managed to illuminate the void anyway .
Snore launched its elemental attacks without even waiting for the Royals to act . Lightning bolts accumulated and shot from its horns, flames came out of its mouth, and violent winds blew from its nostrils .
The wings were useless in that environment since there wasn't any matter or "Breath" to destroy . Noah couldn't create primary energy, so he could only use those abilities in their weakest form .
The Royals swiftly dodged the elemental attacks, but a storm of massive slashes appeared on their paths and pushed them far in the distance .
Noah saw their defenses blocking the slashes, but he didn't chase after them . Instead, he sprinted backward, toward the lump of white light that he had blown away previously .
It took him only a few minutes to reach the raw laws that were flying in the distance . They didn't stop since the void opposed no resistance to their motion, but they didn't go too far .
Noah finally took them and inspected their structure . He had seen laws many times already, but they appeared different .
There wasn't any deep meaning inside them . The laws were only an ethereal substance that could unleash an incredible power once it became complete .
Noah had no idea how to absorb them . He felt tempted to place them directly inside his dantian, but he didn't know if they had to go through some special process first .
The Royals eventually caught up and threw a series of runes around him . The inscriptions gave birth to golden lines that created a prison-like structure around Noah .
The prison had formed too quickly . It seemed that the lines had some teleporting abilities since they had managed to isolate the area before Noah could even react .
The lines became thicker as the prison became smaller . More runes formed on its surface, but Noah promptly launched a wave of slashes that crashed with them .
The prison didn't budge . It continued to restrict, and it stopped when it isolated Noah in an area smaller than ten cubic meters .
Noah attacked again, but the outcome was the same . The lines weren't wholly material, so they managed to resist his slashes more easily .
"We know you raided the Dark Gorge," First Princess conveyed . "This is the result of our studies on that peculiar species . A prison resistant to any attack and with great power at its basis . "
"Give up and hand over the raw laws," First Prince continued . "You are a formidable opponent, but you need liquid "Breath" to open a path in this item . "
The Royals felt sure of the sturdiness of the prison . Their confidence came from the fact that King Elbas himself had created that item by using what he had discovered from the Night-blade Pterodactyl species .
The prison wasn't in the middle tier in terms of power, but its quality made it the sturdiest cell in the lower tier . Noah didn't have the amount of energy required to break through it .
Noah looked at the prison and sighed . The Elbas family had always tried to chain him to their organization . The memories of his time in the Utra nation surged in his mind . He had changed so much in those centuries, but the Royals didn't modify their behavior toward him .
Yet, that was their mistake . The Royals kept on building countermeasures to his power without understanding his true nature . Noah never stopped improving, and he had a card to play even in that situation .
'I'll give you plenty of food when you heal,' Noah thought, and the Demonic Sword replied with a resolute roar . It didn't care that it was going to suffer as long as Noah came out victorious .
Snore disappeared, and Noah closed his eyes . In his mind, Sword Saint's performed identical lunges capable of launching an unstoppable force .
That was the peak of the piercing attacks . Noah didn't master it yet, but he had trained in the lunge and the slash since his last training session with the Divine Cut .
Noah half crouched and retracted his sword . His mind became one with his existence, but the images of Sword Saint's lunge continued to play in his mind .
The Royal didn't know what to think at that sight, but their expression soon turned severe when they felt the intense sharpness that had begun to accumulate on Noah's figure .
'The lunge's power is limitless,' Noah thought as he thrust his blade forward .
An unstoppable force assaulted the golden lines of the prison and created a large hole . Noah's attack didn't have any form, but the Royals could see it flying in the void before dispersing in the distance .
Noah came out of the prison only to notice that the raw laws in his hand had gained peculiar meanings . They radiated his ambition .
