Chapter 1597 1597. Puppe

Noah and the others had managed to avoid the expansion of the expert's aura, but their instincts didn't stop screaming in fear. They could sense that the new threat wasn't something that they could face.

The expert had the aspect of a middle-aged man with long white hair and no beard. He wore a white robe that didn't have any spot nor emblem, and a white halo covered his figure.

Noah couldn't understand his cultivation level. He could vaguely sense that the man existed past the eighth rank, but his energy was too different from the "Breath" to belong to the world.

'We can't stay here,' Noah thought while trying to find a way to convey those words to his companions.

His team had managed to avoid the deadly attack, but their power ended there. The golem had shielded them from the heavy pressure, but there was a limit to how much they could rely on Radiant Eyes.

The bees filled the sky with a threatening buzzing noise. The golem echoed that sound and made the air shake. The whole army was showing its intention to fight, but Noah and the others couldn't share those feelings.

"The puppet has finally arrived," Radiant Eyes' voice came out of the giant and filled the sky.

The air transformed as her influence spread through the air. Dense shapes made of scarlet light gathered in the sky and flew toward the few remaining bees to cover them with their radiance.

The two leaders in the upper tier and many of the middle tier specimens had survived the expansion of the expert's aura. The buzzing noise released by their wings intensified when the scarlet halo covered their figure, and their power also increased under that nourishment.

The expert raised his eyes toward the army. Pure disgust appeared on his face when he looked at those magical beasts. His white irises also featured anger at the sight of the massive scarlet giant.

Noah tried to keep track of the expert's gestures, but his senses seemed unable to capture him. The cultivator was in a different world. It was as if he existed in a separate dimension even while walking on the fuming ground.

"I will use your energy to complete my transformation," Radiant Eyes' voice came out of the giant again. "Rejoice! You are about to become part of a perfect existence."

"Perfection already exists in the world," The expert whispered, but his voice reached all the nearby regions. "Your very life is nothing more than a spot, and I will take care of cleaning it up."

A white halo burst out of the expert's figure. His light pierced the scarlet light around the bees before melting their bodies. The massive army transformed into trails of white smoke in a matter of seconds.

The light also affected the scarlet giant. The red rocks and terrain that made its figure began to melt and release white smoke under that influence.

Noah felt pure terror. He was calm, but his instincts had never screamed so loudly. The expert embodied their fears. He was Noah's natural enemy.

Battle intent instinctively flowed out of Noah's figure. His centers of power wanted to fight that existence. His bloodlust exploded outward and tried to find its place among the dense auras that filled the sky.

The expert's eyes flickered when he sensed Noah's bloodlust. He felt slightly surprised to sense that aura, but a smile soon appeared on his face.

"You are also here," The expert whispered. "Don't worry. I will take care of you after I handle this sinner. My Masters didn't forget you."

June and the others turned toward Noah. Worry filled their expressions. They knew that Noah had fought Heaven and Earth many times, but they didn't expect that a rank 9 existence was aware of him.

Those words left Noah speechless. Heaven and Earth were rarely vocal about their intentions, but it seemed that their followers didn't share that feature.

'Do they make up for Heaven and Earth's flaws?' Noah wondered while trying to suppress his bloodlust.

Noah couldn't help himself. His centers of power had found their most hated enemy and wanted to express those feelings. They wanted to show how they had survived after the many punishments sent by Heaven and Earth.

"Stay here and witness my greatness!" Radiant Eyes shouted from inside the golem. "Do not fear death! Feel blessed to have served one of the greatest existences in the Immortal Lands!"

"I'd rather avoid that," A voice suddenly resounded from behind Noah and the others.

The voice surprised Noah's team, the white expert, and Radiant Eyes. They all turned their attention to the source of the sound and saw a smiling young-looking man.

Alexander sighed when the heavy auras radiated by the two rank 9 existences landed on his body. A multicolored halo quickly seeped out of his skin and fended off that pressure.

Noah could sense that Alexander wasn't relying on a single ability. The multicolored halo came from countless spells activated simultaneously to generate something able to fend off those auras.

"It's time to leave," Alexander announced before waving his hand.

A multicolored aura shot out of his figure. Dense gales that featured different elements and effects crossed Noah's team and crashed on the giant.

Noah and the others widened their eyes when they saw the gales flinging the giant away and throwing it toward the white expert. Alexander's attack had worked against an item created by a rank 9 expert!

A series of formations suddenly appeared under Noah's team. Golden flames also flowed out of those lines and covered them in a dome that quickly affected their figures.

Noah and the others became ethereal before disappearing. Their vision went black before a blue light shone on their faces. The familiar regions of the Legion filled the scenery and made them feel relieved.

"How did you even cause this mess in a few years?!" King Elbas shouted and made Noah's team turn toward him. "Well, congratulation, you mindless brutes. We have to deal with two rank 9 experts now."

King Elbas' anger froze when he saw Second Prince standing among Noah's team. Countless emotions surged on his face while he tried to understand how to react to that sight.

"You have failed to sense my arrival," Second Prince proudly announced. "You have actually failed to sense me at all."

Noah ignored that interaction and shot toward Alexander. The expert was on the ground, and pure pain filled his expression.

Alexander started to slam his head on the ground while giving voice to different roars. The many magical beasts' faces inside his aura spread forward, but he managed to suppress them before they could reach his companions.

Noah waited for that violent aura to return inside Alexander before approaching the expert. His mental waves flew inside his mind and studied his mental sphere to understand what was happening, and the scene left him speechless.

Countless ethereal figures were spreading chaos inside Alexander's mental sphere. His mental walls shook whenever their cries spread through that area, and waves of mental energy surged in a desperate attempt to suppress them.

The ethereal figures depicted countless magical beasts. They weakened Alexander so much that Noah could easily inspect the insides of his mental sphere.
