Chapter 915: 915. Burning hear
Noah would usually avoid inscribing an item that had already gone through one round of forging.
The Elemental forging method required specific meanings for each product that he wanted to create, and fusing items that had already been inscribed usually led to a conflict of wills.
However, Noah didn't need to change the will when fusing the new center of power with his heart. He had used the same imbued higher energy to force their tissues to merge.
That was necessary to make his body consider the new organ as part of Noah's existence. He couldn't just place it there because he needed to rely on the resilience of the magical beasts to harmonize that addition.
Yet, the real harmonization would arrive after the next breakthrough of his body. Now he had to deal with the consequences of his new organ on his own.
Noah felt as if the insides of his chest had turned into scorching magma after the two organs had fused. His body had been able to endure the heat radiated by the new center of power when it wasn't part of his tissues, but it didn't seem able to do so after the second forging.
Noah fell on his knees as his consciousness gathered around his heart and tried to suppress the heatwaves. Blood fell from the wound on his chest when he crouched on the ground in a hurried attempt to contain that outcome.
The new center of power didn't have access to his circulatory system. It was part of Noah's heart, but it was separated from the four chambers of his organs.
Noah had only fused it with its tissues so that it could become part of his body. He wasn't so idiotic to put his blood in direct contact with the dark star.
However, the heat had arrived anyway, and it spread on the rest of his torso since his mental energy couldn't stop it.
Most cultivators would try to revert the process or label the experiment as a failure at that point, but Noah had faced worse repercussions in his life.
He knew that his body could take a while to adapt to such invasive modifications. After all, he had to die when he fused with a Cursed Dragon to reset the laws that held his body together.
Something similar had happened with the Forging of the Seven Hells too. Death would always loom around him whenever he performed one of his unorthodox experiments, and a simple scorching sensation wasn't the worse that had happened to him.
June had felt the urge to run toward him as soon as she saw him crouching on the ground. Still, she suppressed that instinct to give Noah enough room to operate.
She was an expert in the formation field, but Noah was messing with the anatomy of his body. That kind of organic inscriptions wasn't something that she could affect with her expertise.
Noah roared in anger, and the world around him lost its light for an instant as he released a wave of flames. His instincts had told him to disperse some heat, but the issue didn't originate from his lungs.
Trails of gray smoke came out of Noah's mouth as he gasped for air. He was starting to act as a magical beast since his mind focused on confining the heat spreading through his body.
Noah spent entire minutes in that condition. He would punch, roar, and spew flames in the hope that releasing some of his energy would help to solve the issue.
