What was stopping him from moving actively to connect himself to tens, hundreds of more worlds? What was stopping him from using his unique Planetary System and finding new ways to rapidly increase his mastering of laws? What was stopping him from truly becoming overpowered?
RUMBLE!
It felt like a dam had broken loose in his heart as intense ambition and goals sprouted forth, the shocking new knowledge he obtained going on to cause something even he did not fully know the effects of!
Chapter 408 - {Disciple of Chaos}
"My oh my, you're barely paying any attention to me."
The powerful Infernal Lord in front of him spoke out in a pouting manner as Noah was shaken out of his thoughts and looked towards her apologetically.
"I apologize, Big Sister Azula. What were you saying?"
"I asked you for your story, your journey up till now. I have to also assign you your own Infernal Legion, but that's for later. Come, enlighten me while we enjoy some food."
The Infernal Lord Azula motioned for Noah to follow her into one of the huge castles Noah could see in the ancient looking cities below him, behaved Infernals moving around respectfully as they neared.
His head was filled with a variety of thoughts as he moved to entertain this powerful Infernal Lord first, choosing to move slightly later as he collected his thoughts and finalized his plans.
In the Celestial Realm, the battle between the Dark Winged Chaos Tiger was coming to an end as a furious Grandmaster Vredral threw out consecutive Blades of Liberation and [Judgement] down on the beast, the timely warnings from Athena about its movements and the other deadly attacks from the now Soul Rank Noah and other members of the Righteous Fire Exploration Team causing even more damage on this Chaos Beast.
ROAR!
It let out its last defiant roar as the Domain of Fate that Grandmaster Vredral released overpowered it, a singular last Blade of Liberation coming down to take its life!
BOOM!
Silence reigned in the region as only the brilliant aura of fate lingered in the air, Noah sensing numerous Lines of Fate descending onto the bodies of all the Celestials around him as he observed the quickest way that Celestials increased their Fate Lines.
The face of Grandmaster Vredral was still somber as he floated in the air, his body disappearing into particles of light as he left behind a message.
"Something urgent has occurred. Dissect and divide up the Behemoth before carefully returning to the Watch Tower, there shouldn't be any other Elite Behemoths nearby. Boru, explain the intricacies of the materials of a Chaos Behemoth and Fate lines to the junior disciples."
He left behind a tired Righteous Fire Exploration Team that nodded with tight expressions as he left, Boru taking charge as he began to explain a concept that Noah actually knew about deeply now because of a recent title. This time it dealt with the two Supreme Laws of Fate and Chaos!
"Chaos is diametrically opposed to Fate, so whenever one overpowers the other, a rise in the respective beings involved increases."
Boru spoke while moving quickly, the other party members helping as they began to use their abilities to divide the monstrous beast into multiple portions.
"When we defeat Chaos Beasts, our Fate Lines increase rapidly. This also applies even more so when we purify the immense essence of chaos entrenched in their bodies there after, this being one of the more efficient ways we amass more fate lines."
Noah listened closely as he contributed to the project, the mountainous beast soon being cut apart as everyone took their portion, their gazes turning towards the same direction that the Grandmaster disappeared in as they made their way back. They also knew that something serious had happened!
Boru continued explaining about the usage of the materials of Chaos Behemoths as Noah used this information and compared it to what he now knew, a few possibilities forming as he thought about the cultivation technique he had obtained after becoming an Infernal Lord. The first one was a similar one to {Fate's Disciple} and {Disciple of Fire}!
{Disciple of Chaos} :: A technique geared towards cultivating the Supreme Law of Chaos. Grants the user the ability to cultivate Chaos Particles and form a Chaos Field.
Succinct words showed themselves in his eyes as the team of Celestials slowly made their way back, his attention placed on the different aspects of this unique skill that set it apart from the first two law type cultivation techniques he obtained.
The Disciple of Fire granted him a Fire Origin Core, Fate's Disciple granted him Fate Lines, while this Disciple of Chaos granted its user a Chaos Field!
He thought back to the oppressive feeling of strength that the Infernal Lords released, especially their surroundings that always felt suffocating for anyone that neared as he glanced at the Chaos Field even more.
[Chaos Field] A field created from the unique particles of chaos, granting its user the reinforcement of the Law of Chaos passively and actively when any abilities are cast. Attacks reinforced with the chaos element bypass most defenses and reduce the Vitality of opponents directly.
A thoughtful expression appeared on Noah's face as they continued moving forward in the Celestial Realm, his clone being the one about to actually test this unique cultivation technique at the same level as the one the Celestials had their hands on.
Back in the Second Infernal Realm, the Ancient Blood Clone looked at Infernal Lord Azula as they enjoyed a variety of unique foods he had never come across before.
"Besides being assigned a Legion and increasing my strength for the foreseeable future, what else will I be doing?"
Azula's devilishly handsome face turned to the side at this question, smiling broadly as she replied.
"A Letter of Summons from the First Infernal Lord will most likely arrive for you in the near future, detailing out a specific mission for you to carry out. Wait patiently for that as you cultivate, little lord."
The powerful Infernal Lord replied with a sultry voice, Noah nodding as he prepared to move.
"Then I'll have to be impolite and get myself acquainted with my new power first. Thank you for the great welcome."
He bowed towards the curvaceous Infernal Lord that replied without missing a beat.
"Why of course. Mmm, you can dwell in the castle right next to this one for now as I get things prepared. And if you need anything...just ask."
His face remained respectful and impassive as these words were released from the Infernal Lord, bowing as he moved out of one grand castle and went towards another.
He simply had too many things on his plate to even think about anything else currently, and he had to start right away!
Cultivating the Supreme Law of Chaos, the Supreme Law of Fate, the Law of Fire, and many other objectives that were only ideas so far and not made into action.
He left to start on his long line of goals as he left behind a smiling Infernal Lord whose eyes shone while glancing at his back.
"An Infernal Lord...yet not really...Ahh!"
...
Chapter 409 - Fate Lines and Chaos Particles
Noah's Ancient Blood Clone descended onto one of the grand castles that were present in this devilish looking metropolis at the center of the Second Infernal Realm, the few attending Infernals inside it bowing towards him respectfully as his aura seemed inviolable to them!
This was the aura of an Infernal Lord, and it came with many positives, but also a number of negatives as well.
The biggest negative currently was that Noah could be classified as an Infernal, and a high ranking one at that, which made it so that he could not obtain the unique energy in the form of Skill Points that was only available when beings of polar opposite existences defeated each other in the Novus Galaxy!
When the Celestials and other beings in the Novus Galaxy entered into an Infernal Realm to hunt down Infernals, they would receive this unique energy as their power and comprehension was boosted. When the Infernals defeated them, in turn they would also power up rapidly as their ra
nk increased.
The obtainment of the Infernal Rank title had effectively made Noah a special existence that now neither stood on one side or the other, actually being a hybrid existence that took away this unique feature, but granted him so much more. But this also meant that the Skill Points he currently had were limited to this number, his gaze looking at the overall Skill Points that were hovering a bit over 2000.
His gaze was impassive as these thoughts came, simply letting him know that he had to use the Skill Points well and not waste them by permanently using them in maxing proficiencies of skills. But he held no worries as he knew in the far future, there was something which would still provide him with something along the same lines of Skill Points!
He wrapped up his thoughts as he came into a grand hall in the castle, the attending Infernals closing the doors as he finally had time for himself. He thought back to the First Infernal Realm where Draco remained alone, Noah sending the young Dragon a telepathic message to continue hunting the constantly spawning Infernals to raise its power. He would be able to leave the Infernal Realm from a Portal that was already established by Noah when the Harbingers were hunting Infernals themselves a few weeks back.
His other summoning skills were canceled as the only thing left in the First Infernal Realm was currently a Draconic Behemoth that was reaping the rewards of Skill Points.
With these things set aside, the Ancient Blood Clone began on the first pressing issue- using the technique he received as an Infernal Lord to cultivate the Law of Chaos!
He sat down at the center of the grand hall as he closed his eyes, spreading out his senses to cover his entire body and the surroundings as he activated {Disciple of Chaos}. This time, he made sure not even an ounce of chaos would show on his main body that was still moving in the Celestial Realm as [Unique Origin] was placed on overdrive.
OOONG!
A dark ripple of energy released from his as he cast this ability for the first time, this ripple of energy coming back in a circular fashion around him as it slowly began to vibrate.
RUMBLE!
This continued vibration seemed to be this circle, this Chaos Field, rapidly expanding and contracting as little by little, small dark particles began to appear within this field! These were the Chaos Particles that the {Disciple of Chaos} could form in a Chaos Field, the manifestation of chaos essence that would go on to reinforce them and their abilities!
Little by little, the reserves of essence that the clone was connected to were let loose freely as these small Chaos Particles began to appear en masse all over the Chaos Field.
The very surroundings trembled as the Infernals around the castle began to feel the convergence of the powerful aura of the Law of Chaos, respectful looks coming on to their faces as they went about their tasks.
Around the clone, it seemed like floodgates of dark energy were congregating as Noah felt a new source of strength continue to grow within him, his gaze going observing a new section on his stat panel that showed the constantly rising number of Chaos Particles!
[Noah Osmont][Title(s): Infernal Lord(Variant)]
[Bloodline(s): Vampyre Progenitor(Awakening)]
[Fate Line(s) : 26,653]
[Chaos Particle(s) : 420]
[Origin Core(s) : Fire-2]
[Vitality: VOID]
[Focus: - ]
[Strength: VOID]
[Law(s) : Water-11, Space-8%, Fate-.26%, Fire-11%, Chaos-.000042%]
The number of Chaos Particles was constantly shooting up as it changed from a few hundreds quickly and went above 1000, the convergence of essence around the area the clone was in only getting wilder as the skies above the castle began to darken.
The respect the surrounding Infernals felt only increased, while the 7th Infernal Lord Azula appeared in the skies as her gaze locked in on the castle Noah was in, a bright smile spreading from her face as the 8th Infernal Lord, the Infernal who was known as Rykker, also appeared next to her to watch this spectacle.
"He's at least got the talent to rapidly advance, don't you think?"
Azula said with a bright tone as she continued to observe the convergence of essence and chaos around the castle. Rykker replied with an impassive expression as he nodded.
"He had to at least have some ability for him to be able to stand on the seat of the 9th Infernal Lord. Besides, anyone cultivating the Law of Chaos using the {Disciple of Chaos} for the first time initiates a change like this. It will fade away soon enough as he falls along the same grueling cultivation journey that we all take. He'll hopefully gain some power in these next few years before the war breaks out."
Rykker said this with an unimpressed expression as the two Infernal Lord continued to observe the phenomenon in the air, waiting to see how long this convergence of chaos essence would continue to measure the genius of this new Infernal Lord.
Their eyes watched as their impressions gradually changed, noticing that the clouds of chaos particles were not actually reducing as time passed, but actually becoming even denser before they shot down towards the singular being cultivating within the castle!
"..."
"Well, I guess it's impressive now. It's been a few minutes, and with such a large amount of chaos particles converging, he can be considered a genius that has obtained a few thousand during his first session."
Azula only smiled brightly as Rykker said this, her gaze looking forward expectantly as more time passed, the surrounding cloud of Chaos Particles actually not reducing one bit, and were actually becoming even denser!
10 minutes!
30 minutes!
1 hour!!!
RUMBLE!
A tremor ran through the minds of many of the Infernals in the Second Infernal Realm, many of them already noticing the stupendous phenomenon of intense convergence of chaos particles that only continued to get denser and denser.
Rykker's face had turned ashen as even Azula looked forward in shock, the implication of holding the convergence of this mane Chaos Particles that continued to descend into the Castle having ahuge significance!
Similar to Fate Lines, those that were truly proficient in the Law of Fate would condense a few hundred or a few thousand Fate Lines on their first initiation of {Fate's Disciple}, whereas they would be limited to condensing a few tens of Fate Lines or at most a hundred every day there after. This created a very long and arduous journey for those cultivating Supreme Laws, where they had to find other means like influencing the lives of millions or reaping the lives of beings proficient in the opposing Law of Chaos to increase their cultivation rapidly!
This concept stood the same for the Chaos Particles of the Law of Fate, which was why the two Infernal Lords were shocked, as they could presume the number of Chaos Particles being condensed should have long ago passed ten thousand, and it did not seem like it was stopping!
Rykker couldn't help but let out an exclamation as he watching this confounding phenomenon.
"What the hell is this?!"
...
Chapter 410 - Dual Cultivation
Going back an entire hour as Noah first initiated {Disciple of Chaos}, the process had been going similarly as he expected from his experiences in condensing Fate Lines.
He saw the constant stream of Chaos Particles fill his Expanding Chaos Field, their rate constantly pouring in as the number soon passed 10,000 and continued forward, showing that his supposed talent for this Law of Chaos even surpassed the Law of Fate!
But it was only by this much, as he observed himself getting a few hundred more Chaos Particles before the atmospheric converging chaos began to stall and reduce. He was about to accept this result when he thought of Boru's words on how they increased their Fate Lines rapidly through defeating Chaos Behemoths and using their materials.
Through using their body parts and purifying the enormous amounts of chaos entrenched in their bodies, one would be able to gain Fate Lines much faster!
This thought crossed Noah's mind as he chose to become bold bri
efly, testing the waters and this theory as while {Disciple of Chaos} was initiated, he also activated {Fate's Disciple}!
RUMBLE!
A tremor passed through his body as the moment the skill was initiated, a few golden lines of fate began coming towards him. But the intrusion of these fate lines was as if gasoline was poured into the fire, causing the surrounding Chaos Particles they were passing through in the Chaos Field to tremble violently as they attacked the coming Fate Lines and wiped them away entirely!
!!!
Noah observed this change with a shocked expression as the moment that these golden Fate Lines were disintegrated, the surrounding Chaos Particles became excited as even more of them converged towards him, the number that had stagnated at 10,836 pushing upwards as it broke past 11,000 very quickly.
He continued to pour mana into the {Fate's Disciple} skill as numerous Lines of Fate descend down and tried to attach to his body, but the moment they came in contact with the Chaos Field, they were utterly destroyed even before reaching Noah's body, the reaction that Boru talked about of increasing one's Fate Lines by purifying Chaos actually being used the other way around, where any condensing Fate Lines were quickly wiped away by the Chaos Particles surrounding Noah as he was then rewarded with even more particles!
He felt like he was touching upon the precipice of something tremendous as he kept it going, the only thing he was burning being his mana as the number of Fate Lines remained at a constant 26,653, but his Chaos Particles were gradually increasing as he had {Fate's Disciple} activated.
He observed for 10 more minutes as he counted more than 100 Fate Lines appear and try to enter his body, but they were ultimately destroyed the moment they reached the Chaos Field, never coming in contact with him as the normal rule where he could condense 100 Fate Lines was violated, even more of them coming down as they never actually became bound to him and continued to be destroyed!
