Chapter 931: 931. Beas
Noah hadn't seen Icy Cascade since Chasing Demon's mission when he had to find the remains of the Demon sects. She had been a rank 4 cultivator in the gaseous stage back then, but she had improved in those years. She was now in the solid stage of the fourth rank.
That growth wasn't spectacular when compared to Noah or the other talents of his generation, but the fact that icy Cascade didn't stop improving showed that she had some potential.
After all, only a complete stop in the growth could lead to the stagnation of the centers of power. There was no problem with cultivators who had slow but steady improvements.
More heroic cultivators appeared behind her. They all wore flashy inscribed armors that shone with a dark-red color and stepped forward while glancing at the battlefield with stern expressions.
Then, their focus went on the heroic cultivators of the invading forces on the other side of that region. It was evident that the Empire was ready to take those battles more seriously now that the attackers were nearing the borders of its domain.
"They are the Wardens," Elder Ingrid said when she saw those heroic cultivators. She was aware of the force tasted to defend the Empire's borders since she had handled the Lutren nation for quite some time.
Noah knew about that force too, but he didn't expect that the Empire still had so many powerful cultivators in its ranks.
There were a dozen rank 5 cultivators among those reinforcements and more than fifty soldiers in the fourth rank. Also, Noah didn't see any of them in the battles in the new continent. That meant that they had spent all those years in those areas.
'I shouldn't expect any less by the Empire,' Noah thought as he straightened up his posture.
The Empire was an organization created by a god who had lived for more than fifty thousand years. It had been able to produce two powerhouses, and one of them had even ascended!
The fact that its number of powerful assets appeared endless didn't come as a shocking surprise for Noah. Still, he had to admit that the Empire was revealing itself as a formidable opponent.
Losing the new continent wasn't enough. The most powerful organizations in the entirety of those Mortal Lands attacking it, but it was still capable of holding its ground.
No matter how many cultivators the invaders deployed, the Empire always appeared able to match them.
The members of the Wardens didn't move. They remained in the sky behind the human troops as if waiting for the attackers to make the first step.
That seemed a trap, but Noah didn't sense anything different with his innate awareness. It was as if the Wardens wanted to face the enemy heroic cultivators without making use of their advantage as defenders.
The group of Royals took out a series of inscribed items to study the environment, looking for eventual formations or defenses in place. However, even their advanced scanning methods didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
An exchange of glances happened between the heroic assets of the invading forces at that point. There was a bit of hesitation in their expressions, but the lack of defenses made them decide to advance toward their enemies.
Noah had no intention to reveal Snore so soon. It had been a long time since he had abilities that the world wasn't aware of, and he would prefer to keep it in that way for as much as he could.
Yet, he still wanted to seize dantians to feed his body. After all, the breakthrough of his sword had just increased his need for nutrients.
