Chapter 399 - Venturing Further North

"Congratulations, Senior Sister."

Noah replied with a light smile as he looked towards the shocking strength being released in the small body of the girl in front of him. She had already been at the Void Rank when he first met her months ago, her power slowly continuing to build up as she finally exploded upwards and entered the Soul Forging Realm today!

"Thank you, Junior Brother Crixus. You must not tarry behind."

Her eyes were languid and filled with longing for battle as she joined the team, all the other members sending her their congratulatory words as Noah was instead wondering where the power of this War Princes was actually at now.

As he spent more time amassing fate lines, he was growing more and more capable of discerning just how many lines of fate a Celestial held, and his intuition told him that Athena was actually nearing on the magical number of 100,000!

This was a number that made one qualified to be a Celestial Grandmaster, something that very few joined the honor of achieving in their lifetimes. The power of this War Princess when she was at the Void Rank was terrifying, where she was capable of standing against a Soul Forging Realm Devouring Black Serpent in the Magus World and battle against Soul Rank Behemoths in the Celestial Realm. A smile spread across Noah's lips as he wondered the power this woman could now wield as she entered the Soul Forging Realm herself!

"Hmm, let's go!"

Grandmaster Vredral spoke out jovially as they went towards a particular area where numerous Primal Warsh.i.p.s were located, an expansive space that only Celestials were permitted into as for this exploration trip, they would be using a Prime Warship to traverse the vast distances of the Celestial Realm and into the region where Chaos Behemoths could be found.

From the Sanctum that could be considered an enormous metropolis filled with an ever expanding population of new beings, a particular group of Celestials entered a grand Prime Warship as the energy of a Domain Realm expert wrapped around it and lifted it to the skies.

The nearby forces of numerous Prime World now populating the Sanctum glanced towards the location where this Vessel lifted smoothly and began shooting off to the Northern Region, this not being the first time they've observed something like this happening as they looked enviously at the means of the Celestials.

A particular party that was returning from their hunt, the newly formed Order of Blood, stared at this particular ship as a few of them felt a familiar aura from it!

The Emperor Penguin was walking through the mystical streets of the Sanctum valiantly as it raised its beak towards the skies, a sharp light passing through its beady eyes as the Royal Vampyre Elena had an even more fervent look in her gaze while she stared at the direction that Noah had gone to.

"Onward!"

She decisively sent a message to her people as she communicated with the forces of the Dark Expanse beginning their own plans in the Celestial Realm, the current goal of the Order of Blood being heading towards the same direction where numerous Fire Behemoths could be found, using this as a source of training as they made their way towards a certain Inheritance beneath a volcanic mountain!

The many pieces on the board continued to move as Noah comfortably stood in the advancing Prime Warship and looked out to the expansive landscape of the Celestial Realm below him.

The enormous shimmering trees and the fantasy-like atmosphere always took his breath away, linking this feeling to a similar one he felt when he observed his Spiritual Land but on a much larger scale. He found his thoughts actually wondering as he arrived at this comparison. Would the Spiritual Land ever be able to reach something as remotely as amazing as this? He shook himself out of his fantasies with this thought as he serenely watched the passing surroundings, not trying to daydream about impossible things at such a time.

They came across quite a few Fire Behemoths that were moving below, their gazes turning up towards them with a sharp light as they only observed the powerful vessel shoot past them.

A few times he observed attacks being thrown their way, the vessel either completely evading them, or a thin barrier of light appearing around the Prime Warship that stopped the incoming attacks.

So far, they had not come across any flying Behemoths that would have caused them trouble, beings like the Draconic Fire Behemoth being unique and rare.

Like this, a few hours passed in the Prime Warship as the Grandmaster steered it competently through the explored areas of the Celestial Realm, a contemplating Noah watching the passing scenery and committing it all to his memory as his clone was moving with vigor in the Infernal Realm.

He could observe the constant shooting up of the Infernal Skill Points at a speed multiple times what the stationed Lich was bringing in the past, with the percentage next to the title of Infernal Lord also continuing to rise every now and then!

After another few hours, the Prime Warship that they were on started to slow down and lower towards the tall ancient trees in the ground, Noah noticing that the atmospheric essence had been getting even thicker as he looked towards the location they were arriving at.

Not too far from them, the slowing vessel was landing next to a large tower like structure, this exquisite architecture being a place where powerful Celestials were stationed far into the Celestial Realm, the junction where one could draw a line from Normal Behemoths and Elite Behemoths based on which direction they took.

Noah had arrived at his first Celestial Watch Tower that was surrounded by numerous Prime Warsh.i.p.s, the auras of powerful Celestials even wilder than the ones he normally sensed in the Sanctum being present as he further pierced into the ranks of Celestials, this time following a team being led by a Grandmaster as they planned to hunt Chaos Behemoths!
