Chapter 223 - Power

Noah's body floated in the skies of the Frozen Plateau Spiritual Land as a grand smile spread out from him. He was looking at the panel of {Spiritual Land Management} and seeing that the conditions for the upgrade to the next rank were all complete, and all that remained was him putting in a tremendous amount of mana as a catalyst.

"Start!"

He sent a command in his mind as the process began, with the Spiritual Land beginning to tremble as it underwent yet another change. The treasure was something unique from the Beast World, having its own uses that were very rarely seen. Noah was reaching unknown levels of this treasure as he continued to upgrade it with no problems.

He was looking forward to the new unlocks and next tier of medicinal fruits that would be available to use, as well as the all round improvements of the features already existing. He was particularly looking forward to the improvement of the Time Space feature, as only the first ratio of 1:5 had been unlocked and many more were waiting.

The rumbling in the Spiritual Land further continued as mana continued to senselessly leave his body and bathe the glittering frozen land, a blinding blue light continuing to build up and ready to seemingly erupt.

OONG!

All the beings in the Spiritual Land could feel the grandiose change as the Kraken leading the Calamities of the Sea looked forward in stupefaction. Barbatos was feeling the essence's convergence around them and looked towards the central figure where all of this was occurring as she shook her head in surprise at the things that continued to happen around this one being.

The crescendo of noises and build up reached the peak as the blinding light erupted out, bringing with it the completion of advancement to the next rank for the Frozen Plateau Spiritual Land.

Upgrade- Conditions not met.

Noah stared at the gorgeous lines of blue words as he went through the newest feature, as well as the upgrade of the one he looked forward to the most.

[Time Dilation] :: The abstract concept of time can be manipulated in a small area. 1:5 Ratio (Unlocked), 1:10 Ratio (Unlocked), 1:20 Ratio (Locked)...

[Treasure Hunter] Unique wonders exist all around, rarely observed with the untrained eye. The master of the Spiritual Land gains the ability that allows them to more easily locate Unique Treasures in the land they are in.

The first one was the unlocking of the 1:10 ratio of the Time Space from the original 1:5, making it possible for him to train in the space without any worries even more. If he chose to spend 10 hours in the area surrounded by the many monoliths, only a single hour would have passed in the outside world. This upgrade just went on to further improve a feature that was already spectacular.

Next up was the newest addition, a feature called [Treasure Hunter]. It didn't seem like anything special, but Noah knew not to underestimate anything appearing from the upgrades of the Spiritual Land, with this feature most likely being something even more spectacular that would bring him amazing things in the future.

All the other features like [Boost Surroundings], [Frozen Barrier], and [Offensive Maneuvers] received their own upgrades, making them much stronger and increasing their effectiveness even more. Noah observed the celebrating beasts, especially the Emperor Penguin that was the first to break through to the Phantasmal rank as he looked at his own panel toward Skill Combination.

The upgrade for the Spiritual Land was complete, and now he would observe exactly what power the combination of the two Phantasmal+ ranked skills would bring once they produced a TRANSCENDENT skill of the next rank.

He left the celebrating beasts behind as his body disappeared and reappeared in the underground section of the Spiritual Land once again. He took a deep breath as he observed his panel and placed the two skills, [Kaiju of the Deep] and [Ancient Hellfire Titan], into the two slots of skill combination.

[Kaiju of the Deep] + [Ancient Hellfire Titan] :: TRANSCENDENT [The Calamitous Leviathan- A terrible creature that rains down destruction and fear upon its enemies. It holds the bloodlines of ancient giants and dragons, granting it the form of a calamitous dragon only heard of in history, The Nine-Headed Hydra.]

Noah breathed out heavily as he saw the appearance of his first Transcendent skill, not giving it a second thought before he activated it right away. He wanted to know exactly what level of power this new addition brought him.

OOONG!

Essence rumbled and the skies cracked as [The Calamitous Leviathan] was cast for the first time, Noah's body erupting out as a maddening power appeared in the underground layer of the Spiritual Land.

Every single being in the unique treasure could feel the appearance of this maddening aura that seemed to bring anything lower than it to its knees. It spread out from the Spiritual Land placed in the wide room on the building which was located on the main peak of the Karmic Sect as it spread out even further, grabbing the attention of practicing disciples as their gazes hardened.

This wasn't just a normal aura of the TRANSCENDENT rank they felt, but something that felt much more maddening!

In the underground layer of the Spiritual Land, essence continued to clash and erupt out as a being with palpitating power appeared from the small humanoid form of Noah. Boasting nine tremendously large heads and four resplendently shining wings that each held their own color, the Nine-Headed Hydra, The Calamitous Leviathan, had made its first appearance in the World of Cultivation.
