A Nebula was a giant cloud of dust and gas in the vastness of space, and it was this cloud of dust and gas where new stars formed. Experts at the Nebula Realm were those standing at the peak of power as any one of them could have a Nebula that already birthed multiple stars, the levels of strength being wide ranging as the fire power of such a realm was shocking to even understand.
As far as Noah knew, the strongest First Infernal Lord was at the Nebula Realm, along with the Founders that stood atop the Celestials!
But this was only what his knowledge led him to, he could always be wrong. He stopped dwelling in his thoughts as he continued to listen to the Grandmaster before him.
"Celestials at the World Rank or higher are held with great esteem, being one of the powerful weapons that could even match against the weakest Infernal Lord if multiple of them work together. Thus, any treasure that can possibly help a Celestial step towards the World Rank is treated with utmost importance!"
"Such a treasure...does exist in our hands. It is something that is completely out of my reach, and will only be given to the most promising Special Existence or a Celestial holding the title of Noble Fate. This treasure is something that we found in the southern region of the Spiritual Land where Fate Behemoths are abundant, a treasure that I only know by the name- Luminescent Rainbow Dew!"
The eyes of the listening students shone as a treasure was mentioned, something that even Grandmaster Vredral himself could not get his hands on.
"You two have the chance of obtaining this Luminescent Rainbow Dew, but only if you can prove that your potential and power is greater and more deserving than the other beings at a similar standing as you. The way to do this is simply...through battle. In order for you all to experience a rapid rise in strength similar to the past few weeks and enter a Realm that will grant you the power to make a difference in this war, you will have to fight for it."
Noah thought of many possibilities as the abundant treasures of the Celestials continued to help him greatly, and this treasure that was being hyped up by the Grandmaster was one that could possibly bring him to yet another stage that would allow him to catch up to some of the monsters he was facing.
"Who do we expect to be facing, Grandmaster?"
Noah replied with the conviction that seemed to say they would do whatever it took to increase their power, the Grandmaster nodding with a received smile as he continued.
"In a soon to be specified location, a Battle of Geniuses will be held where those joining will be faced with beings holding Noble Fates and Special Existences that have immensely powerful innate abilities. Coming out on top of this tournament will grant you some of the most valuable treasures that we have collected over the last thousand years!"
A resounding reply rang out in the training hall they were in as they received the information on just how they could advance their strength further, Athena turning to look towards her Junior Brother with a determined look as the both of them nodded towards each other, turning their gazes to the Grandmaster as they replied.
"We will not let you down, Grandmaster!"
Noah continued to play the part of a genius disciple well as even more opportunities landed on his lap. As the cultivation and information session with the Grandmaster was coming to an end, he looked at the change that had appeared in the Stat Panel after he stepped into the Domain Expansion Realm.
[Noah Osmont][Title(s): Infernal Lord(Variant)]
[Bloodline(s): Vampyre Progenitor(Awakening)]
[Fate Line(s) : 162,735]
[Chaos Particle(s) : 135,234]
[Origin Core(s) : Fire-2]
[Domain(s) : Water, Space, Fate, Fire, Chaos]
[Vitality: DOMAIN]
[Focus: - ]
[Strength: DOMAIN]
[Law(s) : Water-11, Space-8%, Fate-1.6%, Fire-14%, Chaos-1.3%]
Among the many additions that continued to be added over the last weeks, there now stood another one that was titled [Domain(s)]!
Included in it, the laws that Noah was currently cultivating were available, meaning that if he so chose, he could release a domain of any of these laws to pressure his enemies. The higher his percentage of the laws increased, the more powerful the domains would become. For now, all he had to do was continue the monotonous work of cultivating Fate and Chaos, as well as have his clone move in the Celestial Realm once more to look for an Inheritance that dealt with the law of water.
This was because normal universal laws like water and fire were much easier to raise up, and Noah knew if he could repeat something similar to what he was currently doing by dual cultivating both fate and chaos, raising the laws of water and fire should be even easier!
Chapter 438 - Atop a Dragon Searching for Treasures
Noah glanced at the Grandmaster that gave him and Athena more information of the Battle of Geniuses where they would have to face the terrible power of Special Existences and being similar to them with noble fates in order to get his hands of treasures that could help those in the Domain Rank.
For now, his main body would participate in this tournament seeming event as his clone continued to do the brunt work. At this moment, his Ancient Blood Clone had formed a connection with a Large World that Noah found viable in his memories, the beings within not having too many connections and not being of high strength.
Much of these types of worlds came from the memories of the Demon Emperor Baal who was very active in targeting middle and large worlds as he expanded his forces. This recent world achieved Noah's goal of passing 10 connected worlds, the most recent ones being brought near his homeworld through the use of World Engines, with Noah casting a [World Veil] thereafter to hide all of them from prying eyes!
These newly added worlds did not even need to be identified by name or unique qualities, as none of that would matter in the coming weeks as he soon planned to carry out the grand plan of a Realm Formation. Such a plan...would make the identities of worlds null.
His eyes shone with splendor as the meeting with the Grandmaster moved along, thereafter obtaining more information on the recent events where Grandmaster Luo was assassinated and the resulting actions that came thereafter.
The leading Grandmaster on the 7th Celestial Star, Grandmaster Ramiel, had already formally filed for permission to move his Battalion that was made of numerous Prime Warsh.i.p.s and Celestials towards the border between the Dark and Light Expanse, sending them as the preliminary force as they initiated what would be a long period of war.
Some Celestials were opposed to this as they wished for a longer preparation period to orderly move all forces, but even more were for it as it meant they could begin their conquest that would lead to more influence over many beings' fates much sooner!
The request of Grandmaster Ramiel would most likely soon be given a green light after it was passed to the Founder, what happened thereafter only being etched in history.
Something new that came at the center of this was the prepared command that would be given to the powerful beings of the Prime Expanse that were moving in the Celestial Realm. They would be told that for them to continue exploring and enjoying the boons of the wondrous realm, they had to send a specific number of beings from their worlds as soldiers to fight alongside the Celestials! They had to fight for the peace and order of the Light Expanse that was being disrupted by the Dark Expanse!
This command would cause for the influx of millions of beings to be in the front lines in the coming war, this conflict of attrition eventually benefitting the Celestials as they would be losing very little of their own forces as time passed.
Thus, many waited for the okay to get things started, Noah absorbing all of the information himself as he continued preparing in his own ways. The Spiritual World continued to bubble with essence, numerous things being accomplished every day by the System that stood as the center of the Spiritual World.
The building of the Water Law Space had already been completed on one of the four continental landmasses of the Spi
ritual World, Noah actually choosing to reduce the Fire Law Space to cover half of the Continent, and for the Water Law Space to cover the other half. This created the unique environment where two opposing Law Spaces had an inch of a barrier that stopped them from flooding into the other. This was all in preparation for the obtainment of a new inheritance in the Law of Water that would allow Noah to perform Dual Cultivation with these two laws as well!
The Ancient Blood Clone finished forming the connection of another world as he sent numerous telepathic messages to his competent forces to handle this transition, Steel Mikhail and even Kazuhiko that seemed to never want to leave the Time Space that he was using with extreme efficiency to raise his skill proficiencies being put to use.
The clone moved without rest as he reappeared back into the Celestial Realm, his body currently pulsing with power as his main body had stepped into the Domain Expansion Realm. When this was paired to his continued advancement in two Supreme Laws, many beings would feel their souls shaking if he didn't cover up the pressure of power that he released.
This time, the clone had appeared in a region not too far from the Sanctum, his gaze going towards a certain direction. This time, it wasn't the North where the Fire Behemoths and Chaos Behemoths resided, but the South where one could find Water Behemoths and Ice Behemoths, his goal being to look for the treasures and inheritances here as he increased the efficiency of his cultivation even more!
His rapid rise in Chaos Particles and Fate Lines was going in the right direction, but his Fire Origin Core had remained with a slow progression where even the Supreme Laws could soon surpass it.
"Draco, come back."
He sent a telepathic message to the Draconic Fire Behemoth that was moving in the First Infernal Realm to pass through the portal there and return to the Spiritual World, the huge beast materializing in front of Noah a few seconds later as he came out from the miniaturized world.
RUMBLE!
"Master!"
The voice of the humongous beast reverberated as its head that was now multiple times larger than Noah went forward to nudge him, the clone smiling as he got on its wide back, and the dragon took off into the skies!
Its size now towered close to 40 meters, Noah already pulling out numerous Cores from his [Expansive Space] to begin power leveling the rank of this beast towards the Soul Forging Realm.
Then, he took out the wondrous miniaturized Spiritual World as he activated [Treasure Hunter], an eruption of essence coming out as a direction was picked.
He sent his thoughts into the ability to try and steer it towards what he wanted, but this would only steer it towards a certain direction, where the actual results would be hard to know.
SHAA!
The figure of an enormous dragon shot through the fantastically glowing trees and vegetation around the Celestial Realm as Noah's clone continued on towards the South fearlessly, his heart looking forward to whatever treasures or inheritances waited for him there!
Chapter 439 - Growth, Treasures
As Noah made his way south, his forces propagated various areas of the Celestial Realm as their increased power only allowed for more efficient and effective cooperation that took down behemoths with ease.
Not to mention their own recently upgraded ranks and cores from Soul Rank Behemoths continued to flow towards their hands, the boon from the [Golden Guider] skill was so overpowered that when they faced the Fire Behemoths to the north, they could take them down much faster as each of them held a hint of the law of fate in their attacks.
Most of the forces were now actively moving as the things around Noah became more and more expansive, even the lazy Barbatos joining the Order of Blood Exploration Team as her own specialized legion of undead joined the fights.
Others were either put on tasks to manage the newly added worlds or hunting Behemoths for their resources, with these resources being transferred into the Spiritual World through the Emperor Penguin that held ever so powerful spatial skills.
These abundant materials would then be processed by the System at the center of the Spiritual World as they were forged into Items in the Blacksmith's Forge, powerful Sets of armors and weapons that had overwhelming effects being created with ease.
Currently, the number of Blood Stained Infernal Oath Sets made from the bodies of Infernals were the most numerous as Noah had simply hunted too many of them to obtain his Infernal Lord title. The Incandescent Flameborn Set was next in production as more and more materials from Fire Behemoths were obtained, these powerful Sets that had a 6 piece bonus of an Immolation ability that allowed the wearer to deal 1000% more damage being something extremely deadly.
As Noah's forces gradually became equipped with these terrifying Items and the boosts from the Golden Guider, their power was spilling upwards exponentially as they were growing to become a powerful force!
It was not just Noah that was currently rapidly advancing through ranks, his forces were also following along!
His Ancient Blood Clone continued flying through the mystical forest of the Celestial Realm, the young dragon Draco enjoying the return to the overflowing essence of the realm as it broke the sound barrier to shoot towards the direction that its master directed it towards at high speeds.
"Slow down."
Noah sent his thoughts forward as he felt the golden arrow from the Spiritual World beginning to blink, the dragon slowing down and reducing its altitude as Noah came to view the environment to the south of the Celestial Realm with more clarity.
Huge ancient trees with blue colored leaves were abundant, with numerous lakes that sparkled clearness and serenity spread out all around. As he spread his senses further out with the dragon slowly moving forward, he could see rushing rivers, and even further locations being areas of frozen lands where he even spotted an Ice Behemoth.
In the South of the Celestial Realm, one could come across Behemoths proficient in the law of water, whether they were plain Water Behemoths or the specific Ice Behemoths.
ROAR!
The arrival of a Draconic Fire Behemoth in the skies drew the attention of a nearby Ice Behemoth, but Noah ignored it as Draco continued towards a certain location, Noah following the blinking arrow closely as it pointed towards a sparkling and expansive lake that was surrounded by trees.
Draco hovered over the pristine lake as Noah saw the arrow to be pointing down, sending his thoughts to his pet as Draco was transferred back into the Spiritual World, the figure of the clone shooting down towards the clear lake speedily as it went to see just what exactly the [Treasure Hunter] feature had found now.
SHAA!
His body pierced through the waters with ease as he began descending down, the lake being very deep as he spent a few minutes diving down and watching the area around him.
His body was filled with covert skills after he sent Draco away so that he did not get discovered too easily if there was something powerful down the lake, and his senses already caught one Water Behemoth happily swimming a few miles away.
After achieving the Domain Expansion Realm, Noah felt an astounding level of control of his energy as the Domain that wrapped around his origin allowed him to feel a sense of stableness that he never came across before. He saw that his progress in the Fire Origin Core even increased after achieving the Domain Rank, seeing that higher realms held their own secrets and surprises to unfold as he continued on in the future.
His figure continued shooting down the lake for another few minutes before he neared the bottom the area around him becoming colder as his eyes came across a cold hard floor that shone with a blue crystalline l.u.s.ter!
His senses tried spreading through this layer of earth to see what lied below it, but he surprisingly found that he could not spread his aura past it, whatever the Spiritual World was pointing down towards still not known.
His fingers tapped onto the earth as he found it to be extremely hard material, but its uniqueness lied in the fact that even a being at the Domain Rank could not s
pread his aura past it. Noah chose the less destructive way as he became extremely small and minute through [Unique Origin], using his very small size and immensely boosted strength to drill through this unique earthen layer.
It wasn't even that thick, his body being able to pierce through the other end in a matter of minutes as he entered into the hidden space that lied below the frozen floor at the bottom of the lake.
His eyes looked around as they shimmered a color of blue, this color being reflected by everything he was seeing as the place he had entered...looked to be a huge stalagmite mine!
Numerous Crystals littered the area, his eyes seeing that the space was not even that huge, maybe the size of a football field. But this space held an array of Crystals Stalagmites that shone with a deep blue hue, Noah sensing a congregation of the Law of Water deeply entrenched into every single one of them.
Though the blue crystals were many, they were not the most eye-catching thing in this hidden cavern. The most eye-catching thing was that at the center of this place, there laid an even more enormous crystal in the shape of a spiked crown, most of the energies around this place congregating towards it! Noah's gaze landed on this vibrantly dense blue crystal as a few words popped up in front of his eyes.
[Unique Material- Aquamarine Mesrandite].
His eyes shone with understanding as he laid his eyes upon the first-ever Unique Material that he came across, his goal of searching for an inheritance leading him to another treasure entirely as he actually came across something which could be used to refine Supreme Treasures, or even possibly create one!
Chapter 440 - Materials
In a brightly blue lit up underground area, sparking crystal stalagmites exposed the brilliance of the area as the brightest one that stood at the center had more descriptions rise up gradually in front of Noah's eyes.
