Birth of the Demonic Sword - Chapter 775

Chapter 775
A few hours before the arrival of the Tribulation, the assets from the four forces were going on with their daily occupations as usual .

Most cultivators were studying and listing the immense amount of new materials that the new Mortal Lands had to offer . There were far too many applications to those new substances when they met the various inscription methods that the experts had to offer .

The formation field saw discoveries happening every year since the inscription method of the natives shared its focus on the natural properties of the materials .

The improvements discoveries didn't stop there . The appearance of new substances widened the inscription field as a whole, especially when it came to schools that could make use of the Elite beasts .

A new brand of inscribed weapons appeared in those years, and the alchemists created new brands of drugs that helped the dantians of cultivators in many ways .

It was needless to say that testing the effects of those creations was a crucial aspect of the procedures . Yet, the majority of the cultivators there valued Noah's warnings and suppressed their eagerness to see if their discoveries could work on humans .

Of course, some of them grew restless since Noah's group didn't find anything specific, and even the fear coming from those strange-looking skeletons began to vanish as the years passed .

After all, they were dimensional explorers . They had to take some risks when foreign Mortal Lands were involved .



That belief ultimately led them to their doom .

It all began with a soft echo . Everyone living in the headquarters built around the volcano knew that Noah's group had gone inside the last trace of civilization available on the other side of the continent .

Their mission was quite crucial, and their discoveries had helped the four forces in many ways . All the cultivators living in the headquarters were partially grateful that the three of them were dealing with such a tedious and repetitive task .

Nevertheless, that echo spread through the sky less than an hour after they reported that they were entering the last castle .

The experts on the volcano didn't mind it at first . They were outside of the human domain, and it wasn't unusual for packs of powerful magical beasts to cross their position .

Even creatures in the sixth rank would find it hard to break through the defenses of the underground encampment that surrounded the fissure . The cultivators there had deployed an insane number of protections there, and they even had the help of God's Left Hand in that matter .

In their minds, that world couldn't threaten them once they were inside those protections . They would have never imagined that the danger would have appeared from the inside .

As the echo became stronger, every cultivator that had joined the mating sessions or that had been tainted by the mutagen started to transform .




Panic spread in the encampment . Almost twenty rank 4 cultivators had suddenly become magical beasts and were finding it hard to control their newfound instincts .

Some of them said a few words before their roars suppressed the last bits of sanity that they had managed to muster before their hunger took control of their bodies .

The assets of the four forces didn't deploy their offensive at that scene . Their first idea was to contain their transformed companions and study the event before deciding on their fate .

After all, even as perfect hybrids, they were still creatures in the fourth rank, and the encampment had eight rank 5 cultivators and a rank 6 existence . Those beasts weren't a real threat .

However, the Heaven Tribulation followed their transformation, and the insane defenses of the encampment struggled to keep up with the intensity of the lightning storm .

The four factions were confident in exhausting the power of the Tribulation since God's Left Hand was on the field . Yet, as days passed and the lightning bolts didn't slow down their offensive for even a second, they began to rethink their initial approach .

Was it worth to damage the integrity of defenses lain down over fifteen years for a bunch of heroic cultivators that had lost their sanity?



The only real loss would be in the experts and individual cases, like Lix Elbas, who had the blood of a rank 6 existence even in his beast form .

Lightning bolts of various power fell on the thick barrier that protected the volcano . Some of them would barely meet the standards of the heroic ranks, but a few sparse ones were able to make even God's Left Hand Tremble .

The situation was becoming too dangerous, and that wasn't something limited to their area . God's Left Hand's resolution surged when she sensed that the lightning storm wasn't limited to their territory and that more transformation had happened in the rest of the continent .

Her choice became evident when she understood that the natives could directly attack them if they wasted their defenses to fend off the Tribulation .

The communications with their world were slow due to the nature of the portal, and no amount of improvements could solve that issue . They simply couldn't shorten the distance between the two worlds more than that .

God's Left Hand decided to kill the hybrid before the forces on the other side of the fissure were able to answer . The Tribulation stopped falling on the volcano when those creatures died, but she made the troops retreat nevertheless .

They had to regroup in their world . The delay in the communications could be fatal in such a crisis .

As for Noah's group, they couldn't contact them due to the lightning storm, and the thought of crossing the continent to pick them up was merely delusional . Also, the portal was still open, so they weren't exactly leaving them behind . There was no way to help them anyway .

The same went for the cultivators still in the natives' domain . There was nothing that they could do for them .

The assets returned to the homeworld with a single trip through the passage . The portal could withstand rank 6 existences now . Adding a few rank 4 and 5 cultivators could hardly be counted as a problem .

There, the rank 6 existences held a meeting that assessed the unbelievable events of the other world .

None of them cared about the loss of their rank 4 assets when they could lose an entire world filled with resources . Yet, they had to set specific terms before they proceeded with their next move .

God's Left Hand was the first to cross the portal again, and she brought a series of heroic assets along with her . Her role was to keep track of the Tribulation, and she didn't hesitate to report it when the dark clouds vanished .

She tried to send mental messages to the assets that they had left behind too, but she didn't receive any response . It seemed that the "Breath" in the air was still too chaotic, which hindered the correct functioning of their inscribed notebooks .

Then, about three weeks after she reported the end of the Tribulation, King Elbas and God's Right Hand crossed the fissure and stepped on that alien world .
