Chapter 860: 860
Noah dreamt . The images that he saw in his sleep mostly concerned the life of the Cursed Dragon species, but there were also pictures originating from his connection with the Demonic Sword .
He saw his underground quarters through the senses of his weapon . He felt its hunger and the emotions that filled it when it stabbed its body inside the pile of magical beasts' corpses that Noah had left there .
In his erratic moments of awareness, Noah understood that his body was becoming used to the evolution of his existence . He wasn't just a hybrid anymore . He was an existence that was bound to become a law outside of Heaven and Earth's system if he kept on growing .
The memories of the Cursed Dragon species were not enough to represent the state that his body was reaching, especially after it had been in contact with his darkness and Demonic Sword for so long .
Among those images and sporadic awareness, Noah began to feel some eagerness for the sixth rank .
There was a pattern in the changes in his body . The breakthroughs between the various tiers would only bring slight modifications, other than a massive increase in his physical might .
Those were just attempts that his body made to harmonize itself with the rest of his centers of power, but the real changes happened when he advanced between the ranks .
His mental energy had changed during the breakthrough in the fifth rank, and the walls of his dantian had become far sturdier as his body improved . Something similar was bound to happen when he reached the sixth rank, but the changes wouldn't concern just his dragon part at that point .
Noah expected to see an actual harmonization with his evolving individuality, something that would sever his ties with the other hybrids and put him in a league of his own even from an anatomical perspective .
However, he knew even in his sleep that his breakthrough to the upper tier would increase the requirements of his body to unthinkable standards .
Noah woke up among the silence of his underground quarters, with the Demonic Sword releasing a happy roar as soon as it sensed that he had regained his awareness completely . His hunger though was so intense that he couldn't mind the affectionate gestures of his weapons .
A series of rank 5 corpses appeared in front of him, and Noah didn't hesitate to dive into them . The Demonic Sword began to fly around him protectively when it understood the state that he was in, and it didn't even try to take a bite of the food on the ground .
Noah devoured corpse after corpse, but his hunger didn't flinch . It continued to assail his mind as if it was an urge that he had to satisfy if he didn't want to go insane .
More corpses appeared on the ground in front of him, and Noah continued to take massive bites without even bothering to munch them . They would turn into primary energy as soon as they entered his stomach anyway, so any other action was just a waste of time .
His hunger calmed down only after he ate his tenth magical beast in the lower tier of the fifth rank, and he could finally relax to assess his gains at that point .
His attention went on his other centers of power first . He didn't have the chance to train his dantian during that period of hibernation . Still, his mind had improved thanks to the incredible quantity of spherical runes that applied constant internal pressure .
