Chapter 1471 1471. Learning

The pressure increased as the light gathered around them. Noah's tissues released screeching noises as they bent under that force. King Elbas' figure became unstable as Blanche's aura filled his surroundings.

Blanche's technique appeared simple, but it carried an intrinsic complexity that made it almost indestructible. She wasn't only forcing her law to converge on the two experts. She had also given to her power watery features, which countered most of Noah's abilities.

Noah slashed, punched, and used every last bit of energy given by the unstable substance flowing through his black veins. He could activate his "embodiment of power" again, but he found no reason to waste his precious resource before finding a way out of the technique.

Snore came out of his chest, but its giant head shattered when it touched the azure aura. Even the dark matter that the Blood Companion released crumbled under the pressure amassed in the area.

The Demonic Sword began to release painful roars, and Noah quickly stored it inside the separate space. A few dents also appeared on the white blade, and Noah didn't hesitate to put it away.

His Divine Deduction technique activated, and the black hole sent most of its energy toward his mind. Noah's thinking speed reached an incredible level, but he could find only a single way out of that situation.

The Shadow Domain had already expanded around him. Noah could enter that dimension and fly out of the azure aura. However, that technique had a severe drawback.

Noah already owned a similar spell. His Ethereal Form spell was a technique that he had abandoned because it would require too much energy to change his body's properties.

The Shadow Domain shared the same flaw. Noah's existence was heavy, heavier than his other assets. Transporting his body into a different dimension would deplete all his special darkness.

The technique had almost reached Blanche. Noah only had to survive for a few more minutes to gain the chance for a deadly blow. Yet, it seemed that the azure aura would kill him before his separate dimension could reach his opponent. Even the Divine Deduction technique was telling him that he had no choice on the matter.

'Can I join the fight now?' King Elbas suddenly asked through a mental message.

Noah was about to transport his body into the Shadow Domain, but he stopped when he sensed those words. His head struggled to turn toward his companion. When his eyes landed on the Royal, he saw an annoyed King Elbas tapping his cheek and waiting for his answer.

'How can you move freely?' Noah asked.

'I have created a substance to counter her law,' King Elbas answered plainly.

'Why didn't you tell me this sooner?!' Noah asked again.

'You wanted to fight her alone!' King Elbas shouted through his mind.

Noah didn't know what to answer, but he didn't forget to not toward his companion. The azure aura around them suddenly disappeared after his gesture. Specks of golden light had come out of King Elbas' figure and were eating that foreign influence.

Blanche couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her aura was disappearing due to something that she didn't understand. Her consciousness could study the golden specks, but she had no idea how those small lights could destroy her law.

Blanche didn't forget that her opponents were two liquid stage experts. However, it seemed that they both were incredible monsters whose power didn't make any sense.

Noah had been able to keep her stuck among his slashes for multiple exchanges, and King Elbas had created something that could destroy her law. Their power was something that any major organization would kill to own.

The azure light soon vanished, leaving only the golden specks that flew back toward King Elbas and fused with his fiery body. Noah kept his eyes on his companion. He felt surprised that the Royal had managed to activate his trump card before him.

King Elbas could understand Noah's thoughts, but his usual arrogance didn't appear. The Royal didn't brag. Instead, he chose to explain the reason behind his quick success in the activation of his trump card.

"I'm the best, but this has nothing to do with my ability," King Elbas explained. "You allowed me to focus on her law during your fight. Your battle prowess has forced her to take out all the aspects of her law."

Noah's eyes left the Royal at that point. For a moment, he had thought that King Elbas had improved faster than him. That would have forced him to reconsider his approach to his growth.

"Moreover," King Elbas continued, "I am trying something new. I despise that arrogant Demon, but the power of his creation is immense. I couldn't let him waste it like that."

The slight relief that had filled Noah vanished when he heard those words. King Elbas was talking about Divine Demon's miracles. He had admitted that he had learnt from the expert's law.

"Are you trying to copy his power?" Noah asked.

"Copy? Nonsense," King Elbas said before giving voice to a loud snort. "Imitating that mindless idiot would only ruin my foundation. I'm exploring his path and studying his power. Using the world instead of materials is a power that I crave."

In his twisted way, King Elbas had admitted that Divine Demon's power was incredible and that he wanted to obtain it. Noah didn't feel surprised about that statement, but his focus remained on how quickly the Royal had completed his study of Blanche's law.

Noah had allowed King Elbas to focus only on his trump card, but the outcome of that battle remained the same. The Royal had been faster. The Shadow Domain had reached Blanche only after he destroyed the azure aura.

"I don't know how you did it," Blanche said as she appeared above the duo, "But it's time for you to die."

Blanche's palms shot downward and released two massive shockwaves that fell toward the duo. However, before that force could reach the two experts, King Elbas exploded into a sea of flames and endured the attacks' full might.

His flames barely flickered when the shockwaves seeped into the golden sea. Blanche's attack didn't manage to do anything after King Elbas had developed a method to counter her law. The solid stage expert was powerless now.

"Impossible!" Blanche shouted, but her surprise didn't make her forged the experience amassed through her long life.

A weapon promptly came out of her space-ring. It was a shield in the upper tier that featured shining symbols on its surface.

Blanche had understood that her individuality had become useless. The sole thought that two liquid stage cultivators had managed to make her reach that point was incredible, but she couldn't deny what was happening. Her only choice was to rely on inscribed items at that point.

Her "Breath" flowed inside the shield and charged a powerful attack that made both Noah and King Elbas' instincts scream in fear, but Noah activated his trump card before she could activate her weapon.

Blanche's expression suddenly froze. She glanced at her tattered robe and noticed that spikes had replaced most of her skin. Black flames also came out of those holes as her organs began to shut down.

Her mouth opened, but no sound managed to come out of it. Her figure exploded into a storm of flames and fuming spikes, and a wave of energy flowed back to Noah.
