Chapter 1030 1030. Deal

The situation of the Elbas family had become tragic in the span of a few minutes. Noah had laid waste of most of its army, and Kind Elbas had suddenly found himself against three cultivators capable of unleashing a powerhouse's battle prowess.

Noah, Chasing Demon, and Great Elder Diana stared at King Elbas and saw the hesitation in his expression. They didn't know what kind of calculations were happening in his mind, but they were aware that he was considering the possibility of fighting the three of them.

That had happened again during Ravaging Demon's events. No matter how outnumbered King Elbas was, he always appeared to have the resources and power needed to come out as the winner.

That was his scariest aspect. King Elbas was the best inscription master that those Mortal Lands had seen since Divine Architect, and his foundation appeared even superior to hers.

He was even the leader of one of the most potent forces in the entire world. King Elbas had access to any resource he wanted, and nothing stopped him from obtaining what he needed.

However, he was still a rank 6 cultivator at the peak of the liquid stage. His knowledge was immense, and his expertise extraordinary, but his power couldn't express those qualities to their fullest just yet.

Noah could sense the level of the powerhouses now. Great Elder Diana was somewhere in the middle phases of the liquid stage, while Chasing Demon had yet to be halfway through the gaseous stage.

The records of the battle against the quasi-rank 7 winged beast told him that God's Left Hand was stronger than his Patriarch but weaker than the Council's Matriarch. That put her near the peak of the gaseous stage unless she had improved in the last years.

That understanding brought a greater realization to his mind. He was now sure that none of the powerhouses had ever fought for real in their scuffles. They had always held back for fear of each other's assets.

That didn't apply to the fight against Ravaging Demon, but they didn't need to use their real power for a cultivator at the bottom of the sixth rank.

Noah tried to appear in peak condition even if his mind was killing him. He had only stressed it a bit during the battle, but the pain coming from its cracks made him feel like fainting.

King Elbas' expression eventually broke into an arrogant smirk. His gaze became aloof as he swept his opponents before going into the sky. Traces of emotions appeared on his face as his eyes reflected the vastness of the azure firmament, and his aura became eerie.

The Royals' leader had moved his attention away from his opponents, but none of them dared to attack him. Noah even felt that he understood King Elbas' feelings.

Noah could see how King Elbas didn't care about any of those matters. His only goal was the sky, and his individuality grew as long as the world respected his figure.

"Keep what you've conquered," King Elbas said without even lowering his head, "But we restore the neutral territories as they were before the battles."

Great Elder Diana stepped forward and opened her mouth to speak, but Noah shot a glance toward Chasing Demon that hinted him to stop her.

Noah hated to handle political relationships, but he knew how they worked. King Elbas had made a passive move, and Great Elder Diana saw it as an opportunity to seize more resources.

However, Noah wasn't in the condition to join battles on that level. He would have to prepare for weeks, even if he was at his peak!

Chasing Demon understood the meaning behind his glance and shouted before his ally could say anything. "Deal!"

Great Elder Diana shot a confused gaze toward him, but Noah left before he could see how that situation evolved. He had wasted enough time in the open. It was time to go in seclusion and heal before the breakthrough of his body.

Skully and the rebels waited for him in one of the Hive's territories on his path back home. Elder Julia had intercepted them, but she had instantly activated the Copying Technique when she sensed Skully's aura.

The rebels had quickly shouted Noah's name to express their alliance with him, but Elder Julia couldn't let them pass without any confirmation that they were speaking the truth.

Yet, she had chosen not to attack even if the shining lines on the ground had begun to radiate a rank 6 aura. Elder Julia could summon a puppet capable of fighting Skully, but she preferred to avoid battling a powerhouse.

"They are with me!" Noah shouted as soon as he reached the group. "Find them some accommodations and make Thirty-seven go through their techniques. I'll seclude myself for a while. I might not come out for a few decades."

Noah disappeared in the distance before Elder Julia even had the time to congratulate him on the breakthroughs. His flight quickly ended since he descended toward the ground while activating an inscribed item.

A formation appeared, and its light enveloped Noah before transporting him inside the separate dimension. From there, he used a series of teleportation matrices to return to his mansion.

The Hive had kept Noah's habitation in order, and it had even added more formations around and inside its structure. Many features of the mansion had seen improvements, especially the various training areas inside it.

The Hive had even added a garden filled with precious magical plants that released substances meant to heal injuries faster.

Noah only needed a quick scan of his habitation to understand all its new features, and he quickly went for the garden to deal with his most pressing matter.

His mind calmed down when he sat among those magical plants, and his mental energy began to wash the cracks once he was entirely still.

Noah's mental energy turned into a crystal-like substance as it filled the cracks. Only a small part of it remained attached to the walls of his mind, so he had to repeat the process for weeks until all the wounds had a layer of mental energy above it.

The situation of his mind had finally stabilized at that point. Noah could resume his regular training without worrying about worsening his condition. He only had to be careful not to overdo.

Noah found himself forced to hold back his body's breakthrough once again since his mind couldn't endure the period inside the chrysalis just yet. However, he focused on his dantian for the time being and even managed to gain experience in the world of the laws.

His meditations also concerned some of his techniques. There was a lot to do before he could claim to have made his such a life-changing breakthrough. Still, he never explored the matter too deeply because there was a bigger variable in play.

His body was about to evolve, and the process would involve even his new center of power. Noah was barely able to suppress his eagerness to see what he would become after he came out of the chrysalis.
