Chapter 1678 - 1678. Puppets

Noah didn't care about King Elbas' cultivation level. He charged ahead as soon as a hole formed in the golden s.h.i.+eld, but a different inscribed item blocked his path again.

King Elbas had summoned a giant phoenix-shaped puppet that illuminated the area with its golden light. The creature wrapped its claws around Noah's arms, and the chaotic laws around his figure seemed unable to transform its fabric.

King Elbas had spent a long time studying the Devils. He had adapted most of his creations to those creatures while he was on the other side of the Immortal Lands, and they ended up being quite effective against Noah.

The expert also accepted Noah's ambition. He didn't fight its effects like Noah's previous opponents, so his puppet ended up improving under that influence.

The phoenix grew in size. The glow radiated by its golden flames intensified until it became a scorching radiance that burnt the opponents nearby.

The creature's claws also stretched until they became able to cover Noah's entire body. The puppet pierced the layer of chaotic laws that covered his figure, but a pulling force began to affect it once it touched his dark matter.

The phoenix gave voice to desperate cries as Noah's dark matter pulled it inside his figure. King Elbas' eyes widened at that sight. He knew most of Noah's abilities, but he had never seen such a strange technique.

The puppet disappeared, and a cold grin broke on Noah's face. A crazy laugh then came out of his mouth before he resumed his reckless offensive against his friend.

King Elbas' battle intent surged. Noah was his friend, but there had always been a silent compet.i.tion between the two of them. That fight could prove who was the best genius from their world.

Noah spat a black cloud that gained different features. Part of that gas transformed into flames, while other black lumps became blades that shot toward King Elbas.

His fingers also stretched until they became sharp swords. Noah embodied the definition of a monster in that form, and King Elbas couldn't help but become serious at that sight.

A sea of flames spread from King Elbas' figure. His curiosity filled the environment and studied Noah's ambition. He had a trump card against his friend, but he didn't know how viable it was after the mutations.

An army of puppets also came out of his s.p.a.ce-rings. King Elbas had never stopped building inscribed items throughout his life, and both armies could witness the might of his products on that battlefield.

Phoenix-shaped, hydra-shaped, and t.i.tan-shaped puppets filled the battlefield and merged with the sea of flames before converging toward Noah. A ma.s.sive golden cloud fell on the small black patch of the sky moving toward King Elbas, and their clash shook the entire area.

The puppets were in the middle and upper tier. King Elbas had become able to create lasting upper tier items after his breakthrough in the liquid stage, so his battle prowess had begun to touch the solid stage.

Yet, the same went for Noah. His battle prowess had long since surpa.s.sed the limits of the middle tier, even if his body didn't improve. His ambition had also begun to explore a superior realm after the fusion with the chaotic laws.

The two experts were among the best existences that had ever stepped on the Immortal Lands. They could ignore the gaps among the stages and express far more power than they should.

The clash of their techniques generated shockwaves that spread through the entire battlefield. Some of the weaker experts and sharks couldn't endure those tremors and spat mouthfuls of blood before losing control of their centers of power.

Noah and King Elbas' domains created areas where the other cultivators couldn't enter. Mutations and inspections would hit those experts as soon as they touched the duo's auras. They had made a dead zone where only they could fight.

Noah's black abilities resembled cancer that spread among that blinding golden light. His energy forced the flames to evolve, but it devoured them right after the mutations started affecting their fabric.

The puppets tried to suppress Noah with their physical might and various abilities, but they couldn't match his influence and physical strength. Noah was an unstoppable existence that could transform the world into part of his domain.

The platoon of t.i.tan-shaped puppets cracked countless wh.i.p.s toward Noah. The weapons entangled around his figure and tried to restrain his movements.

The hydra-shaped puppets spat waves of golden flames that fused with the fiery sea around them and transformed into beams of light. Those attacks converged on Noah and ignored the wh.i.p.s before landing on his body.

The phoenix-shaped puppets spat fireb.a.l.l.s and gave voice to sharp cries that tried to weaken the connection between Noah and his energy. The golden sea enhanced those abilities and allowed them to reach Noah without encountering any hindrance.

Noah fought madly against those abilities. His claws cut through the wh.i.p.s, and his dark energy fought the golden beams that landed on his figure. The fireb.a.l.l.s and sound attacks were hard to counter, so his layer of chaotic laws soon vanished during that offensive.

However, Noah never stopped advancing. King Elbas could only slow him down. Noah didn't care that his chaotic laws were disappearing and continued to pierce through the golden domain that divided him from his opponent.

A change happened once all the chaotic laws vanished. King Elbas had forced Noah to reveal the fiendish armor made of dark matter, but that only worsened his situation.

Noah stopped once the chaotic laws around him disappeared. He let the golden light attack his fiendish armor and uncover pieces of his skin. A tinge of confusion had appeared on his monstrous face, but the other world's will still filled his mind.

It didn't matter that the chaotic laws had vanished. The other world's will had complete control over his mind, so he remained a Devil.

Noah inspected his clawed hands and the patches of b.a.r.e skin before his grin broadened. He spread his arms and gave voice to a crazy laugh before a ma.s.sive pulling force came out of his figure.

The sky bent as his pulling force intensified and began to affect everything in the environment. Noah transformed into a black hole that absorbed golden flames, puppets, and "Breath".

Everything disappeared once it touched the dark matter around him. His power didn't immediately increase, but King Elbas gave up on his puppets since he lost connection with them.

"You can keep them," King Elbas laughed before wielding an upper tier fiery spear.

Other inscribed items appeared on his body. A fiery golden crown materialized on his head, and runes covered his skin. His cultivation level seemed to increase after wielding those weapons, and his aura intensified during the process.

Still, Noah wasn't over. His laugh continued to spread through the battlefield until it eventually reached the other Devils.

The Devils immediately stopped fighting. Their structure began to tremble as two forces fought inside them. The instincts inherited from Noah and the other world's will were battling for those creatures.

The darker Devils eventually shot backward and flew toward Noah. Their bodies exploded and transformed into currents of chaotic laws that covered his figure.

King Elbas' expression froze for an instant. Noah's transformation made him able to control the Devils. That ability could turn him into the king of the Immortal Lands if handled correctly.
