Chapter 1686 - 1686. System

Noah and the three solid stage cultivators kept their eyes on the destroyed battlefield. The leaders didn't spare Rebecca in their mindless destruction, but her law was in the open now.

Night reappeared near Noah. The companion had lost a wing during the attack. It didn't manage to dodge the entirety of the destructive wave of abilities that had fallen on the dark world.

'I didn't manage to complete the severing,' Night explained through the mental connection.

'How long until you can fight again?' Noah asked.

'No need to wait,' Night replied. 'Your darkness can keep me battle-ready for a while.'

'Start to recover now anyway,' Noah ordered, and the Pterodactyl returned inside the black hole to benefit from the dark matter.

The experts glanced toward Noah, but their eyes quickly returned on the destroyed battlefield. They were waiting for their rulers to make their move.

Heaven and Earth didn't let them wait too long. The pillar sent part of its light to the sky, and the whiteness in the area intensified.

A series of small lights slowly formed among the broken battlefield, and Noah could only sigh at that sight. He had seen a similar scene before. His battle against Otto had already taught him what was about to happen.

The lights intensified and gathered to give birth to a human figure. Heaven and Earth slowly rebuild Rebecca, but her complexion appeared far from ideal.

Rebecca seemed to have carried injuries from her previous state. That didn't happen with Otto. Heaven and Earth had resurrected the expert in perfect condition multiple times back then.

'Did my law hurt Heaven and Earth's system?' Noah wondered.

The damage could come from Night, but Noah doubted that the Pterodactyl had managed to sever too much during that short time. Something else had affected Rebecca's state, and Noah guessed that his law could explain that event.

'Did my existence became able to damage the laws of Heaven and Earth's followers?' Noah wondered.

His ambition didn't directly touch Heaven and Earth. It had mutated part of the laws that had joined their system. Still, there was a chance that the transformations counted as theft in that case.

'Maybe they can't do much when the very core of a law suffers damage,' Noah thought.

The power of the Devils flowed through his law. Noah's existence had developed resistance to Heaven and Earth, and it had also become able to damage them.

"Don't tell me that your mighty rulers can't recreate laws that have left their system," Noah laughed when looking at the pale Rebecca. "Your immortality is a little weak."

The three cultivators in the sky ignored his taunts as usual, but Rebecca didn't seem calm anymore. Pure anger came out of her eyes, and an unsightly expression soon fell on her face.

"Do you know for how long I had to cultivate to expand my existence?" Rebecca said while gritting her teeth. "You made me waste millennia of training. Even part of my memories has disappeared."

"Stop right there!" Robert shouted. "Don't reveal anything!"

"What does it matter?" Rebecca replied. "He won't live to see the end of this battle!"

Rebecca shot ahead, and the three experts followed her. However, she remained a few hundreds of meters ahead of her companions.

Noah smirked at that sight. He had finally managed to taunt one of his opponents. He only had to exploit that chance now.

A wave of bloodl.u.s.t flowed out of Noah's figure. A black handle came out of his c.h.e.s.t, and a middle tier aura followed that scene.

Noah drew the cursed sword and covered it with dark matter before spreading roots over its surface. The blade had finally reached the intended level, and Noah couldn't wait to use it.

'Can you launch solid stage attacks?' Noah asked through the mental connection.

'That won't be a problem,' The cursed sword replied. 'The anger that you gave me completed the requirements for the breakthrough. I can make your power go beyond its limits.'

'Perfect,' Noah quickly replied before placing both swords on his forehead.

His consciousness spread while carrying an intense sharpness. The air in the area vanished as his power covered the entire region and released a singularity that didn't let his opponents escape.

Robert, Caster, and Melissa quickly deployed defensive techniques, but they soon discovered that Noah's attack didn't reflect his previous power. Instead, it could now overwhelm their weaker laws and pierce through their defenses.

Rebecca couldn't bother to defend. She launched a scorching wave of energy with the shape of a pillar to create a path through the instability. Yet, her energy crumbled when it touched the attack, and Noah's sharpness ended up engulfing her.

The four experts struggled to endure the power contained by the attack. Invisible energy was ravaging their bodies and piercing their defenses. Their figures kept shrinking as chunks of their body disappeared.

Robert could get rid of Noah's sharpness after losing one arm, both legs, and a large chunk of his c.h.e.s.t. His energy skyrocketed and covered a large patch of the sky with his purple substance. Still, the action left him clearly weakened.

Melissa and Castor suffered worse injuries. Their limbs disappeared in an instant, and pieces of their head broke before vanishing in the invisible energy. Their torso also saw holes opening in its fabric before bursts of energy expanded from their figure.

Rebecca had tried to attack, so her defenses were far weaker. Her figure only struggled for a few seconds before vanishing again.

Noah suffered heavy drawbacks. Two cuts opened on his torso and pierced him from side to side. His shoulders began to fall toward the ground, but he deployed the dark world to salvage them.

The dark world couldn't reach the experts due to their discharge of energy, but it could quicken Noah's recovery and keep his body in one piece.

The sky shone on the leaders again. The white light made sure to heal the trio's injuries and resurrect Rebecca, and Noah didn't fail to study the scene.

Robert, Castor, and Melissa recovered completely. No sign of their weakened state remained on their figures. Instead, Rebecca came back to life even paler than before. She appeared on the verge of fainting, and her cultivation level almost left the solid stage.

'I need to kill them to apply the effects of my ambition,' Noah concluded in his mind.

The last exchange had allowed Noah to confirm some of his ideas. Heaven and Earth had managed to heal the cultivators who didn't die, but they had failed to restore Rebecca's power.

Night didn't even intervene in the exchange. Noah could finally confirm that his law could affect Heaven and Earth's system, and killing his opponents was the trigger for those effects.

'I can definitely kill one of them,' Noah thought while forcing the dark world to condense into the fiendish armor. 'Maybe two if they start losing their cool.'

Rebecca was even angrier than before, but some calm had returned to her expression. She could really risk dying if she continued committing mistakes. She couldn't be reckless anymore since Noah had ways to end her life.
