Chapter 777
It was impossible, or, at least, it should have been .
Noah walked toward the volcano with an unwavering gaze . He didn't have to explain anything, and there was no point in gloating in the surprise that his rank had caused .
The others could see his whole existence . Primary energy would form naturally around him, and his body absorbed it every time he breathed . He didn't hide it . He couldn't just suppress himself at that level .
The many emotions that ran through their expressions were all justified . Noah had barely crossed the eighty years' mark, but he had already stepped on a level that countless cultivators failed to reach .
Elder Austin didn't know how to react . It was as if his brain had frozen in shock when he sensed Noah's aura .
The Elder had been considered a genius back when he was a rank 4 cultivator . Reaching the fifth rank in one hundred years wasn't something that many existences could do . After all, some cultivators could spend centuries in the fourth rank as they immersed themselves in their individualities .
Yet, Noah had done that in a bit more than forty years . Heck, he had gone all the way from being a commoner to a feared existence in the time that it took the Elder to go from the fourth to the fifth rank .
Noah had already been called a monster, but there weren't words to describe his latest achievement .
The four cultivators that had greeted him didn't fail to notice his scales and the peculiar features of his hair . It was clear that something had happened to him, and that seemed connected with the sudden transformations .
However, here he was, still in his human form, with a rank 5 dantian and a flying sword that radiated a power similar to a rank 5 magical beast .
"He's one of them!" Thaddeus shouted in the midst of his disbelief .
Elder Austin shot an angry gaze at the Royal, but Cecil intervened before him . He placed a hand over his son's shoulder and shook his head . The meaning behind his gesture was clear: Thaddeus had to let it go . Whatever plan or scheme they had for the most famous criminal of the Utra nation, it was too late now .
The truth was that Noah's sight was disheartening for those cultivators . They didn't lack resources, and they had trained for most of their lives too . They were even improving their power steadily .
However, Noah's growth was unreal . One day he was just a rank 2 cultivator that had managed to escape the control of powerful organizations; the other his power was enough to affect the political affairs of countries that had lasted for millennia .
Noah didn't mind that Elder Austin didn't follow him as he went past the barrier around the volcano . Certain events were hard to digest and could break a cultivator's will . He needed to stay alone for some time, and Noah wouldn't complain about that .
A crowd of cultivators appeared in his view when he dived toward the underground of the volcano . Red rivers shone on his face, and a series of inscribed tents filled the few areas without magma . Cultivators were flying above them, behind a few ethereal screens that depicted the natives' cities .
They immediately noticed Noah's arrival, and the same disbelief that had struck the existences outside filled them too .
Noah couldn't possibly know it, but bets were going on among some of them . The stakes concerned his growth, which was a topic that those heroic entities were interested in discussing in their social circles .
