Chapter 710 The windstorm dispersed when Noah destroyed his grandfather's upper body . The saber-shaped runes fell apart and released their energy in the environment as he relaxed .
Silence filled the area inside the scarred defensive walls, and Noah found himself alone in the middle of the wrecked mansion . His consciousness couldn't sense any trace of life, and his eyes could only see the ruins of what had once been his home .
Noah didn't feel anything at that sight .
He felt empty as he landed on the ground and tried to sprint toward the remains of Thomas' corpse .
Yet, he puked blood as soon as he took the first step .
'I'm injured . ' Noah thought before straightening his position to keep advancing toward his grandfather .
His last exchanges with Thomas had been inside the windstorm, which had applied a threatening pressure on his body for its whole duration . Noah had endured that damage during the battle to press on with his offensive, but his wounded state became evident once he relaxed .
Most of his bones had cracks, and his muscles had been torn apart in many spots .
Those were injuries that he would take months to fix even with the improved healing properties of his body!
However, he couldn't stop and rest just yet .
Noah slowly closed with the remains of Thomas' corpse . He only found a pair of bloody legs attached to what was left of his waist, but that was enough for him .
The windstorm had modified the trajectory of his saber-shaped runes, but Noah had been careful not to touch his most crucial part .
Noah browsed through the insides of the corpse and found a shining orb that had already begun to disperse its dense energy . Thomas' "Breath" resembled a raging storm as it seeped out of his dantian, which showed that Noah's assumption about his individuality was on point .
Noah directly ate the dantian and closed his eyes to assess the amount of nourishment that it provided him .
His wounded body greedily attacked the shining orb and reduced it into primary energy that nourished all his tissues . Part of its energy went to the injured muscles and bones, but a large share of it simply fed his form as a whole .
Noah felt a warm sensation filling his body, and he could immediately tell that no rank 5 beast in the lower tier could match that amount of energy .
'This should be equal to a bit more than ten rank 5 magical beasts . ' Noah thought before storing those remains and moving toward a specific point among the ruins .
His consciousness covered the entirety of the space inside the defensive walls, so finding his target in that mess was quite easy .
Noah slowly walked through the ruins until he reached a big boulder . A human figure appeared when Noah destroyed the block with a light push .
The figure belonged to an old man who had a broken eyepatch on his left eye .
The falling boulder had crushed his chest and his heart with it, but his face still carried his original features .
'The man that I've wanted to kill for so long wasn't even able to survive the fall of a building . ' Noah didn't feel anything when he thought that .
Rhys' corpse was right under him, but he didn't feel any satisfaction .
His punch had forced Thomas to go all out, which unleashed his windstorm . Nevertheless, that spell had a large area of effect, and the mansion could only crumble under its pressure .
The cultivators inside it couldn't oppose the pressure either, which forced them to remain still as the mansion fell apart .
A battle between two cultivators that neared the fifth rank in power was bound to create repercussions that human cultivators weren't able to endure .
Noah had mainly used mental attacks, so the humans inside the mansion had been able to endure his offensive . However, Thomas' attack had affected the entirety of the estate, which left the nobles and soldiers inside it with no hope to survive .
'In the end, Thomas killed his family, and I killed my Master . Life is silly at times . ' Noah sighed after those thoughts, and his mind began to wander . 'All this hatred toward someone so weak . What am I supposed to do with this feeling now?'
That question gave birth to a series of images that appeared and vanished inside his mind in a cycle .
Lily's face often appeared among those images, but they weren't limited to her . Noah reviewed the entirety of his life inside the Balvan mansion in a matter of seconds, and he could only feel empty when he compared them to the scenery around him .
Yet, his ambition soon began to fill that void .
'My hatred led me to defy the plan of Heaven and Earth . ' Noah's aura released a tremor that spread in the matter around him when he thought that . 'All the sacrifices that I've made sharpened by form, but I still had to sever something that I cared about to fulfill my revenge . '
William's face appeared in his vision at that point .
Noah didn't feel good about his death, but he still decided to own that sin . Deluding himself would only hurt his mindset, and he needed to have a clear idea of what he was .
'My pain, my sorrow, and my actions made me become a blade able to sever the fate chosen by Heaven and Earth . No trace of it remains in the world, and only their flaw keeps on living . ' He thought .
The matter around him began to fall apart, and "Breath" of the darkness element began to gather around his figure as his mind kept wandering .
Noah was too lost in his thoughts to care about it, but his dantian was forcing his cultivation technique to work at a faster pace!
Succeeding in his revenge and accepting William's killing allowed Noah to gain insights on the destructive part of his individuality . Those insights influenced the behavior of his dantian, which forced the Black hole cultivation technique to provide specific laws to its form .
The whirlpool at the center of the ring seemed to expand as it strived to reach a vaster area where to gather "Breath" .
Flying Demon returned in the sky above the mansion at that point . His robe was torn in some spots, but his face was still covered, and he appeared unharmed .
He was about to call for Noah when he noticed the peculiar state in which the Prince was .
Flying Demon could see from his height how the ruins of the mansion turned into dust as the "Breath" of the darkness element inside their matter left them . All that "Breath" gathered around Noah before seeping in his low-waist that greedily absorbed everything .
Flying Demon saw how Noah's aura vanished for a second before spreading again in the environment with a newfound sharpness .
Also, the fact that the aura radiated a power in the solid stage of the fourth rank didn't escape his senses .
