A peculiar event happened in the central areas of the piece of Immortal Lands, while Noah was busy testing himself.

The ground there had been destroyed to its core after the battle of between the rank 6 existences.

Still, it had also absorbed many substances that carried an incredible amount of energy.

There were the various attacks of the cultivators, the pieces of the inscribed horns created by the Royals, and even some remains of the winged beasts.

The terrain of the Immortal Lands hid spectacular properties that couldn't be found in the Mortal Lands, and one of them was its resilience.

The energy coming from various sources had deeply modified the fabric of those areas, and the "Breath" contained inside it accelerated the birth of life forms.

Many experts of the four forces were keeping track of the central lands of the new continent through various methods, and they could only be amazed at the sight of a purple stem quickly growing there.

They didn't expect something to be born so soon, but they could only be excited to learn that their calculations were wrong.

The stem appeared fragile, but it still rose toward the sky until it reached a height of a meter.

Leaves began to grow from the sides of its stem, and a black flower bloomed in a matter of second.

The methods of the experts couldn't send that much information back to their observation points, but they could still register the power that the new lifeform released when it bloomed.

To the surprise of the experts, the flower was a rank 5 lifeform since its birth.

Chaos spread in the quarters of those experts at that point, who immediately notified their organizations and prepared themselves to fly toward the central areas to seize the flower.

However, they saw how the flower withered a few instants after it released its aura.

The rank 5 magical plant became dust that dispersed in the wind in a matter of seconds, and the excitement of the experts could only vanish at that sight.

Yet, it was soon rekindled since another purple stem pierced the rocky ground and began to grow in a nearby spot.

The experts quickly requested for specific inscribed items at that point.

They needed something that could stop the withering process before moving toward the central areas.

Nevertheless, the second flower bloomed and died in the time in which the organizations provided their experts with the requested items.

Those cultivators didn't hesitate anymore.

They directly flew out of their observation points to reach for the zone that was giving birth to that new lifeform.

There was one force though that didn't react as soon as the other three nations.

The Hive had been too busy absorbing the gains retrieved in the separate dimension that it didn't leave many available experts on their observation points.

To be precise, there was only Elder Laurel there.

Her quarters contained crystals that transmitted the images of the central lands, but she was able to notice that fantastic event only during the withering of the second flower.

She immediately sent a series of mental messages at that sight, but the Hive was already late compared to the other organizations.

So, Elder Julia spread the news as soon as Elder Laurel informed her, and every heroic cultivator in the Hive received the order to inspect that event.

Of course, she didn't need to mention that they had to seize the flowers if they had the chance.

Meanwhile, Noah was still fighting against the Brawny ape.

The corrosive smoke released by his abilities had wholly consumed the beast's fur, and the second form of his martial art had filled its skin with b.l.o.o.d.y cracks.

However, the ape didn't suffer any grave injury even when he resorted to his spells.

'My normal abilities can't hurt a rank 5 beast when I fuel them with liquid "Breath". Only those that carry my individuality can somewhat cross the limits of the stage.'

Noah judged as he let his cultivation technique refill his dantian.

He was taking it slow, giving himself time to make an in-depth evaluation of his battle prowess when he didn't use the Liquid dantian.

After all, that magical beast couldn't fly and had no ranged attacks, it couldn't be a threat if he remained in the sky.

It turned out that only the second form of his martial art was able to injure the creature, and that even his modified spells couldn't pierce its thick skin.

'I might be able to face a newly advanced creature, but I can't hurt something at the peak of the lower tier. Well, that was to be expected. It's time to end this.'

Noah lifted his left index while he still wielded his weapon and pointed at the ape on the ground.

Countless saber-shaped runes came out of his finger and spread in the destroyed environment around the ape.

Noah's previous attacks had created a high concentration of primary energy since they were fueled by his liquid "Breath".

That energy filled the battlefield, and the greed contained in his runes absorbed it in a matter of instants.

The runes also absorbed the "Breath" in the air, but they seemed to prefer the primary energy.

They had been created through the hunger of the magical beasts, so it was only reasonable for them to prefer that nourishment.

The saber-shaped runes began to radiate a threatening sharpness as the power contained inside them increased.

The rank 5 Brawny ape stared at those small, black dots around it in disdain, but its expression changed as their power kept on increasing.

The runes could only match the weak spell of a liquid stage cultivator when they spread in the environment, but they soon reached the peak of the stage as primary energy entered in their form.

Then, their power continued to grow even when they reached a level that matched solid stage cultivators!

The primary energy in the environment was depleted when the saber-shaped runes began to radiate an aura that only peak rank 4 cultivators could have.

The ape roared and swung its arms on the black dots around it, but Noah quickly controlled them to turn toward the beast.

Controlling so many runes weighed on his mind, but he forced them to launch a relentless a.s.sault on the creature nonetheless.

The sea of saber-shaped runes threw itself toward the raging ape and pierced its skin effortlessly.

The attacks of the runes even gave birth to more basic energy that they didn't fail to absorb.

That ensured that they wouldn't expend their power in just one a.s.sault and that Noah could use them until he had enough mental energy.

The ape could only cry in pain as every spot of its body was pierced from side to side.

Noah's eyes shone when he saw the might of his spell, but a buzzing sound suddenly resounded inside his mental sphere.

Elder Julia's voice echoed in his mind, and Noah decided to deliver the final blow to the beast when he heard the contents of her message.
