Birth of the Demonic Sword - Chapter 784

Chapter 784
It rained blood for a while, and some reckless hybrid tried to open its mouth to drink that potent liquid . Their bodies started to convulse as they tried to absorb the insane amount of primary energy contained inside it .

The blood of a beast in the sixth rank was able to change an environment forever . Containing it inside a rank 4 or 5 body was merely impossible .

The hybrids either puked or fell on the ground, shaking as if they had ingested the most potent toxin in the world . Blood started to come out of their bodies, and their size began to increase in strange ways as their muscles tried to contain that energy .

Then, their tissues started to explode in an innate action of self-preservation to release the energy coming from the leaders of the natives back in the environment .

Noah shook his head at that sight, and the Elders around him began to look for cover to avoid being hit by the rain .

Noah had to join the Elders quite soon . The drops had started to hurt rather quickly to the point where some of them were about to pierce his sturdy skin . Yet, he still held on as much as he could .

It didn't happen to experience the might of a being in the last stage of the heroic ranks often, and Noah didn't want to miss that chance since his body could handle it .

The rain eventually stopped only to be replaced by the sight of a tall figure piercing the clouds and free-falling toward the ground at a few kilometers from their position .



Noah recognized the ape, but he didn't move to seize its corpse even if his hunger was screaming inside his mind . That wasn't his loot, nor something that he could handle without the help of a powerhouse .

The few remaining assets in the fourth rank cheered at that sight . One of the leaders of the natives was dead . Their victory was set in stone .

When another huge figure fell from the sky though, even some of the Elders in the fifth rank cheered .

Noah traced the fall of the turtle with his eyes . Seeing such mighty beings crashing lifelessly on the ground gave birth to an intense eagerness to join that realm . However, he tried to suppress his emotions when he saw three human figures slowly descending in the positions where the hybrids had fallen .

Even if the assets in Noah's group came from different organizations, they still decided to offer their respects to the powerhouses that had fought for the conquest of that world .

The three rank 6 cultivators seemed aware that the heroic assets were coming in their direction . They waited for them as they studied the corpses of the hybrids .

It was clear that the battle had been challenging . The three powerhouses were all sweating and had their robes partially torn apart . The two existences from the Shandal Empire were even injured, but the wounds were limited to small fractures and a few cuts .



Only King Elbas stood unscathed in the air . His robe was even the most intact of the three .


Noah couldn't help but reveal a cold gaze at that scene . He knew that King Elbas' individuality was connected to the pride in his bloodline . The intact robe, the lack of injuries, and his calm expression were all an act to create awe from Noah's point of view .

However, he had to admit that only an exceptional cultivator could pull that off when against two rank 6 hybrids . Even if he didn't want to, he began to respect him .

King Elbas' achievements were incredible . The dimensional portal was already something unheard of, but his display of power in the crucial battle added even more favor to his image . Also, the Elbas family had provided useful items to the other factions without complaining too much nor charging them .

"The Elbas bloodline is worthy of my respect . " God's Right Hand said to break the silence .

King Elbas performed a slight bow toward the powerhouse, but his expression became serious as he replied . "Your title suits you . The previous one, not the submissive name that you are carrying . "



Both God's Right Hand and God's Left Hand suppressed their anger when they heard his mocking words . King Elbas wasn't showing any respect for the God of the Empire . He wasn't even restraining his voice in front of the weaker assets .

He was openly announcing his disregard for the divine being in charge of the Empire .

Noah couldn't help but think about the book that described the past of the Shandal Empire retrieved from the Mortal Palace . He could sense the same defiance of the author in King Elbas' words .

'I wouldn't be surprised if he has even better historical records in his library . ' Noah thought as he stared at the reactions of the powerhouses with interest .

King Elbas ruled the most advanced organization when it came to the arts connected to the cultivation field . That wasn't something achievable only through talented experts . There was a need for a broad foundation that encompassed many schools of the past .

Noah was sure that King Elbas knew about the strange habit of the God . The disappearance of a divine being wasn't something that could be kept hidden from the investigations of entities on that level . Yet, Noah wondered about the reason behind that behavior, and he couldn't help but think that King Elbas knew it .

"And yet," God's Left Hand said, "We are mere mortals in the Almighty's eyes . "

King Elbas snorted, and he suddenly turned to leave after storing the ape in his space-ring . The two powerhouses of the Empire took the turtle and left too at that point, leaving the confused Elders on their own .

Elder Austin shrugged his shoulders when Noah glanced at him . The behavior of the existences at the peak of the heroic ranks was somewhat unpredictable since no one could restrain them . They answered to no one .

The group eventually left and reached the volcano after three uneventful weeks . The assets of the Empire and Royals were waiting for them there and raised cups full of intense wine in their honor .

Noah though wasn't in the mood to celebrate . The four factions were allies on that side of the portal . On the other, they were enemies ready to seize any chance as long as it gave them an advantage over the other organizations .

Now that they lacked a common enemy, the past grudges and complex political relationships would return . It was just a matter of time before they clashed again to divide the resources of the new world .

"Demon Prince, the Shandal Empire expresses its interest in your body-nourishing method . " A rank 5 cultivator said as he neared Noah .

"Nothing you have interests me," Noah said and left to pick a cup of wine from a long table placed next to a river of magma .

However, he soon discovered that the envoy of the Empire was just the first of a long line of heroic assets eyeing him with eager expressions .
