Birth of the Demonic Sword - Chapter 765

Chapter 765
June and Faith felt amazed when they entered the large hall and saw the enormous magical beasts speaking with a human voice . The three of them had known for years that the ancestors were trying to turn themselves into beasts . Yet, gathering clues and facing a talking creature were two very different things!

Furthermore, the creature was in the sixth rank!

'It's a Flying snake, but I sense mental waves . ' Noah thought as he inspected the colossal beast . 'They have really succeeded . '

It was hard to suppress his amazement, and Noah felt eager to study that peculiar being just to understand how it worked . Its aura was too strong and blocked most of Noah's inspections . He couldn't even know if it had a dantian since its scent didn't belong to anything that he had smelled before .

Noah understood in those short instants that the snake was a unique existence that didn't follow any of the fundamental rules that he had learnt through the years .

The snake lifted its reptilian head and straightened its body, revealing a series of sturdy chains that kept it locked on the walls and floor of the hall . The chains radiated the same smell that fended off the magical beasts, but it was far more intense compared to that found in the other castles .

They seemed able to bind the mighty creature in the room, but they also carried its same aura . It was as if they were part of the snake's body .



"It's surprising to find something so similar to us and yet so different at the same time . " The snake said as it fixed its reptilian eyes on Noah's figure .

Its head slowly neared him, but the chains didn't allow it to cross even half of the hall . However, that seemed to be enough for the powerful beast which took a deep breath and waved its forked tongue .

"You absorbed the body of a beast into your own and replaced the laws to escape Heaven and Earth's control . Smart!" The snake said after it completed its inspection . "I believe it was a dragon . Ambitious . "

Noah's reptilian pupils constricted when he heard the snake's words . It had understood the theory behind his fusion in a matter of seconds!

"Don't be so surprised . " The snake said while releasing what seemed a small laugh . "My people have researched how to mix various species since the birth of our kind . You should feel proud that you've obtained a satisfying result in a world without our diversity . "

The amazement of the three cultivators skyrocketed at those words . The creature had revealed that it was aware of the fact that they came from a different world!

"How?" Noah asked, but his question wasn't limited to its last revelation .



Countless questions filled his mind . He wanted to know everything about the creature, its past, and the reason behind his current form . There was something that had bugged him since the dreams: He didn't understand why a natural hybrid would transform itself into a complete beast .

He had been quite forced to keep his human form in his case . Recreating the procedure for the fusion while using the corpse of the beast as the core material was challenging .

He would need to find a way to transfer his dantian and his sea of consciousness into a species that didn't have space for those centers of power . Instead, the opposite procedure didn't have those hindrances .

"I think it's time we have a private conversation . Your two friends can browse my collection while we speak . " The snake said, and a wave of thick mental waves pushed both June and Faith outside of the hall while also closing the large door .

Noah's eyes became cold when he saw that surge of power, but he forced himself to suppress his survival instincts . He was in the lair of a rank 6 existence . He was similar to a puppet in a god's grasp right now .

"The castles are all connected . " The snake said . "I can speak to my descendants on the continent and see what they had been up to . You must understand my excitement to learn that other Mortal Lands had managed to create a dimensional portal and produce a hybrid so similar to our previous form . "



Noah neared the closest wall and tried to inspect it, but he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary . Even the experts in the volcano had failed to see that property of the castles, so he wasn't surprised that he couldn't find anything .

"You keep speaking of us . What are you? Are there others like you in the world?" Noah asked without holding back his doubts .

The Flying snake seemed inclined to answer all his questions, and Noah felt curious beyond any limit . Also, the beast was restricted by chains that probably targeted its very existence, which seemed something really similar to the collars of the Empire .

Noah was even starting to doubt that it could hurt him in that state, but he wasn't willing to test it just yet .

"I'm one of the ancestors, the last of my kind . For now, at least . " The snake answered, but its explanation became vague when it reached the last part .

"So, you were a perfect human before," Noah concluded before continuing to ask questions . "Why did you do it? According to the records, you were already a perfect species in your previous form . "

That was Noah's most pressing doubt . He didn't care how they transformed, but he wanted to understand the reason behind their decision to abandon the human form .

The snake sighed, and Noah was able to avoid showing his surprise at that gesture only because it began to speak . "Our kind was almost perfect, but it didn't lack its flaws . We could absorb the abilities of the magical beasts, but we would inherit some of their behavior in the process . That was the limit placed by Heaven and Earth over us . "

Noah nodded at those words . It made sense for such a perfect species to have limitations . After all, Heaven and Earth couldn't allow for beings with limitless potential to exist . They would just break their fairness .

The snake continued . "In time, we understood that those limits were harsher on humans . The magical beasts had some sort of natural protection against the rules of the world . We concluded that they were necessary for balancing Heaven and Earth's power . "

Noah remained silent as he listened to the explanation that was entirely in line with the ideas that had filled him since he became a hybrid .

"We thrived for a period . The transformation would trigger a Tribulation, but the lightning bolts targeted only the specimen undergoing the process . It wasn't hard to protect it and increase our population of superior beings . " The snake said, and its gaze lost some focus as its mind wandered through its memories .

Then, it moved back to Noah as it concluded its story . "Yet, when we tried to apply the procedure to our weaker descendants, the world decided that we had gone too far and unleashed a Worldwide Heaven Tribulation . "
