Chapter 1704 - 1704. Monster

Battles had started everywhere in the area. The experts on Noah's side were in a frenzy to pierce that blockade since the shining battlefield was nearby. Still, everyone noticed the explosion of Noah's ambition.

Many experts stopped fighting to observe the massive power that was flowing out of Noah's figure. Bulging veins appeared on his metallic skin as his ambition forcefully enhanced his body.

Lady Phyllis had many inscribed items meant to counter his abilities. Noah even guessed that they could endure higher levels of power since Heaven and Earth had taken into account his growth.

Wasting his energy to fuel different abilities was inefficient since most of them would still be unable to pierce Lady Phyllis' items. Noah believed that focusing his ambition on a single feature of his power was a better path.

Noah had acc.u.mulated a lot of potential during the past years. Living as a Devil and his many victories against solid stage cultivators had unlocked one of the major features of his ambition. He could forcefully boost his cultivation level or specific abilities now, and he opted for his body in that situation.

Lady Phyllis' smile remained wide as Noah's body approached the limits of the middle tier and experienced a breakthrough. His injuries instantly healed among that wave of power, and his muscles bulged as the energy inside them reached levels that he didn't even begin to fathom.

Noah had always known that his body had unreasonable requirements, but he had never once considered the idea of taking an easier path. His superior physical strength, senses, and resilience made the struggle worth it.

The empowerment given by the ambition couldn't replicate the exact breakthrough, but it came very close. Noah's ability to evolve matter had improved after the years as a Devil and the same had gone for the enhancements.

Violent waves of power ran under Noah's skin and filled his body with an immense amount of energy. He had never felt so strong and complete. Every inch of his flesh brimmed with immense power. The whiteness around him even twisted whenever he tightened his fists.

'Let's see if her items can handle this,' Noah thought before tapping on a platform of darkness under him lightly.

The scenery in his eyes immediately changed. Noah couldn't see the army anymore. He had reached areas closer to the dimensional tunnel, but a few patches of blood had appeared on his body.

Noah checked himself, but he couldn't see any injury. The blood didn't belong to him.

Noah turned to understand his situation, and he saw many pairs of eyes staring at him. The enemy army suddenly was behind him, and a tunnel had appeared in its defensive formation.

'Don't tell me that I've flown too fast,' Noah cursed in his mind.

"Don't let him escape!" Lady Phyllis' familiar voice resounded through the sky and made most of the army turn toward Noah. "He is after the dimensional tunnel!"

'I would already be there if I didn't need all those troops,' Noah sighed before taking a deep breath and deciding to test his power again.

A light tap on the platform of darkness under his feet made the scenery change again, but Noah didn't lose track of his surroundings at that time.

Noah reappeared among the enemy army. He had killed a few more experts during the initial charge, but he managed to stop in the middle of the group at that time.

A series of cultivators turned toward him before pointing their inscribed weapons forward. Dozens of rank 8 experts charged toward Noah, but many of them ended up cleaved in half when he waved his hand.

"I am your opponent!" Lady Phyllis shouted as she flew at full speed toward Noah.

"I was only having fun," Noah laughed before filling the area with black flames.

His ambition had brought his body to the upper tier. The unstable substance could enhance its innate features even more, and his flames also benefitted from that growth.

The fire that spread through the enemy army ended up being deadly for countless experts. The rank 7 cultivators couldn't even get near it since its influence could reduce their existence into dust. The same went for many rank 8 experts. Noah had gone full-monster, and they didn't know if anyone could stop him.

"No wonder Heaven and Earth want to kill me so badly," Noah laughed as he left his sea of flames to meet Lady Phyllis. "Look at this power. This isn't even the peak of the tier, but I bet that no magical beast in the eighth rank can match me."

"You aren't fighting a magical beast," Lady Phyllis replied in a cold tone, but a shadow suddenly appeared in front of her.

Her white halo promptly unfolded, but an immense force shattered a large chunk of its external area. Lady Phyllis also shot backward, but the shadow reappeared behind her and kicked her toward the ground.

Lady Phyllis barely had the time to adapt to the change in the environment. She crashed on the ground, and the shadow reappeared. Countless impacts resounded on her defenses, and they kept pushing her deeper into the terrain.

"Stop already!" Lady Phyllis shouted as metal knights materialized around her.

The knights were massive four meters tall creatures that tried to pull her out of that situation, but their upper bodies exploded in an instant. The impacts on her white defense didn't even slow down. Noah wasn't giving her time to breathe.

Lady Phyllis quickly reopened her c.h.e.s.t, and blood came out of it while metal materialized among the white defense. A series of needles eventually appeared and shot toward the shadow suppressing her with his b.a.r.e hands.

The needles seemed to have some piercing effect. The relentless offensive finally stopped and allowed Lady Phyllis to gain a clear sight of Noah. Those weapons had managed to stab his skin, but they didn't go too deep.

"I'm surprised that you can hurt me with your weaker law," Noah commented. "Why would Heaven and Earth even put you through a skimming process?"

"There is no process," Lady Phyllis snorted. "You are food for Heaven and Earth. Your existence will greatly benefit them."

Noah held back his fists. Lady Phyllis' revelation had been quite shocking. He had always believed that Heaven and Earth wanted to kill him, not absorb him. That could give more insights into the rulers' existence.

Lady Phyllis widened her eyes when she saw Noah's curious expression. She immediately understood that she had said too much, but determination soon appeared in her eyes.

Her revelation wouldn't be a mistake if she defeated Noah. No one else had to know about that feature.

Metal began to materialize inside Lady Phyllis and fuse with her body. Her organs, blood, and tissues gained darker shades as her size increased.

"You must die to become Heaven and Earth's food," Lady Phyllis whispered as she tried to stand up.

Noah wouldn't let her do as she pleased. His offensive resumed and pushed her back on the ground. He even added slashes launched by his fingers and flames to his relentless attacks.

Lady Phyllis couldn't stand up, but she didn't stop her technique. The white halo was still protecting her, so she could use that time to deploy her ability and complete the transformation.

Her tissues continued to change color and nature while Noah did his best to pierce the white halo. Heaven and Earth had created a flexible and powerful defense that even his enhanced physical strength couldn't overcome in a short time. However, he could rely on his destruction.

Lady Phyllis continued to smile as she slowly transformed into a smooth humanoid dark-grey figure. A tinge of fear appeared in her mind when she noticed the scarlet light coming from behind Noah's eyes, but she didn't care about that now that her technique was complete.

The expert tried to stand up again. Her physical might and resilience had reached incredible levels after completing the transformation, but a series of cracks suddenly appeared on the white defense.

The halo fell apart. Lady Phyllis raised her arms to defend herself, but fingers quickly stabbed her body and ripped entire chunks of her metal skin apart. A few organs even flew away after Noah managed to dig his way deeper into her c.h.e.s.t.
