Noah observed this reaction as he grimaced in pain, but a smile came on his face nonetheless as he felt the minute strength gained from the unique energy released from the two cores repairing his torn muscles made them stronger than when it was absorbed by his cells normally while only cultivating a single law.
Thus, for the effects of the Dual Cultivation of both Fire and Water, Noah could conclude that it was bound to be an extremely painful experience, but it allowed him to bypass the rate at which energy entered into the Origin Cores at a turtles pace, the flow being constant and even increasing every so often as the energy the cores released went on to heal and even further strengthen his body that was acting like a battle field for the opposing laws!
RUMBLE!
The essence of water and fire from the two different sides of the Law Spaces cl.u.s.tered around Noah as they began forming a resplendent cloud of light, a unique cultivation session that had never before been done continuing in the Spiritual World.

In the wide Sanctum that Celestials controlled, there was a bustle of activities recently as among the ranks of the Celestials, word had been getting passed around that soon, the future powerhouses of their generation would be getting assessed on who among them had the greatest potential in the form of combat!
These words became a reality a few days later as it was announced to all that in the next few days, a spectacular tournament would be held at a specified location in the Celestial Realm. This tournament would involve beings that many rarely saw in their lifetimes as they were always moving with extreme efficiency deep in the Celestial Realm to increase their power.
It would be a tournament where beings holding Noble Fates and Special Existences took to stage, each of them fighting a battle of supremacy to see who exactly would come out on top!
This tournament was open for all to watch, being made into a huge festive event where the Celestials planned to reveal the beginning of a long paused conflict with the Dark Expanse. The Celestials wanted to use this tournament to announce the initiation of a grand campaign!
It would be located around a particularly clear field of land to the east of the Sanctum where the slightly docile Earth Behemoths resided, this wide expanse of land being perfect for the huge and spectacular battles about to take place.
Among the Special Existences and Celestials with Noble Fates, the upcoming geniuses known as Athena and Crixus would be making their grand entrance into the eyes of many who had only so far heard of them, or knew nothing about them…
Chapter 446 - Even if its you!
Noah's main body was sparring with Athena in one of the huge training halls while his clone continued the Dual Cultivation of the Laws of Fire and Water, the unique energy passing through his two bodies continuing to strengthen him.
BOOM!
The golden floating hammers around him stopped the strikes of the War Princess that was clad in an empyrean armor, her own hammers that she held in her hands striking the ones floating around Noah away as she tried to land attacks on him. But every time she neared, they stood in her way, and this situation was made even worse as five enormous blades of liberation were on standby to strike towards her anytime she left a gap in her defenses.
Noah himself was floating in the skies as he glanced at this sight, a smug smile on his face as Athena's sharp eyes found him.
"Are you deliberately trying to annoy me, Junior Brother?"
The frustrated Athena called out as her body began to shine gold with numerous fate lines erupting out, the essence of fate beginning to shine brilliantly around her as she sprung forth like a cannon towards Noah.
BOOM!
With every swipe of her hammers, powerful fate essence erupted out, this ability being something that only those passing the 100,000 Fate Lines milestone could use. The strikes filled with fate essence smashed back the three floating hammers around Noah as Athena closed in, her gaze filled with bloodl.u.s.t as she spoke.
"Very soon, you will be facing Special Existances that have been in the Domain Expansion Realm far longer than you have!"
BOOM!
Her flurry of attacks swiped away all the three hammers, being thrown away a great distance as Athena's curvaceous body weaved through the glistening edges of the blades of liberation and neared Noah, her two hammers landing on the huge tower shield that he raised up.
DONG!
Golden light erupted out as Noah was pushed back, yet fully protected as not a single bit of damage got through to him. He raised his tower shield as he glanced at the huffing War Princes and spoke with a smile.
"If I can handle your attacks this easily Senior Sister, I think I'll be just fine."
"Oh? Let's really put that to the test!"
A provocative light bloomed in Athena's eyes as he pointed her hammers forward and called out- [Judgment]!
OOONG!
Numerous large spears formed around Noah, his figure at the very center becoming serious as the tower shield in his left hand was raised, his golden flail in his right hand already moving to deflect a dangerous golden spear that already rushed from his right side.
DONG!
His body shimmered with a brilliant l.u.s.ter as he moved his body to dodge the onslaught of a powerful skill, his shield blocking many of them as they sent shockwaves through his body, his flail directed towards any others as he rapidly knocked them away and dodged.
In the middle of all this, Athena appeared in the skies as she pointed down, a huge Blade of Liberation descending under her command as it went on to 'overwhelm' the surrounded Noah and smash him towards the ground!
BOOM!
His body acted like a shell as it made a dent into the floor, the Senior Sister finally reigning some light in her eyes as she looked down with concern, only to find her junior brother protected like a turtle behind his golden tower shield, his head peeking out with a smile.
"Hmph, and that was me going easy on you. The Special Existences we are up against are on an entire league entirely, with some of them even being proficient in multiple Supreme Laws."
She went down towards her junior brother as she helped him up, pushing his roughed up hair away to the side as she looked directly at his eyes in a teaching manner.
"You may be able to block my attacks, but your enemies will have been in the Domain Expansion Realm Longer than you and have more experience, with the most obvious choice for them being to just attack you until you run out of energy, all of these defensive skills you have around you being rendered useless."
Noah's eyes locked against this War Princess as he nodded with a smile, his face moving forward to quickly sneak in a kiss as a surprised Senior Sister sprang backwards with an admonishing expression on her face.
"Stay focused!"
Athena said this as she looked around the training room and spread out her senses to see if there was anyone watching, her slightly angered gaze landing back on Noah who was wiping the dust off his body while speaking with a calm expression like nothing ever happened.
"What if I meet you in one of the matches, my dear Senior Sister?"
The question caused a serious expression to appear on Athena's face, her gaze locking with Noah as she replied with conviction.
"I would go all out. The treasures given to the winner of these upcoming battles are enough to create a powerhouse- meaning whoever takes the title will most likely be the first one to enter the World Realm!"
Yes! The treasures that the Celestials had collected were many over the years, especially the really unique ones that were so potent in their unique essence that they allowed beings to quickly break through a rank!
Just the [Luminescent Rainbow Dew] mentioned by the Grandmaster was enough to send any knowledgeable Celestials crazy.
"I still seek to understand exactly what my fate is in this chaotic universe, I will stop at nothing to achieve that goal. That does not change, even if it is you that is standing against me, Junior Brother."
The gaze o
f the War Princess was filled with conviction as she finished, Noah looking at this with a hidden smile as he nodded, an imperceptible red light crossing through his eyes that reflected on Athena's eyes as well!
"Very well. Let's continue the spar, Senior Sister. I won't be going easy on you this time."
"Hmph, come!"
RUMBLE!
...
Chapter 447 - Domineering!
In the Spiritual World, a few hours had passed as Noah's Ancient Blood Clone sat in the center point of an elemental storm with bubbling fire and water elements continuing to rush towards him.
He finally felt a sense of stabilization from the two opposing energies as they ravaged his body and healed it soon after, his heart knowing he could now handle it with ease and continue to bear the pain for as long as he wanted.
But at this critical juncture, his face hardened as he prepared to do something wild- something that nobody would even come close to thinking or comprehending when it came to cultivation.
His eyes shone with a golden l.u.s.ter as while he already had activated the two cultivation techniques for the Law of Water and the Law of Fire, he domineeringly opened his mouth and activated another two cultivation techniques, and this time they were for two Supreme Laws!
{Disciple of Chaos}! {Fate's Disciple}!
RUMBLE!
Yes! In his thoughts as he began cultivating the Law of Water and Fire he had asked himself- As he began that cultivation session, what stopped him from simply activated the techniques for the Law of Fate and Chaos at the same time?
For others, it wouldn't even cross their minds to cultivate the opposing techniques of two different laws, much less four of them at the same time.
But for him, he actually found himself questioning what exactly stopped him from doing it?
The answer was- Nothing!
He had the mana! He had the skills! He had everything! All that was left was for him to actually do it, and so he did.
RUMBLE!
The storm of essence around him raged even more as the golden color appeared in the skies, the formation of small Chaos Particles beginning to form soon after as the golden Fate Lines lashed towards them quickly for the sake of purification. The Fate Lines then descended towards the clone and established themselves tightly, no issues occurring as Noah did something outrageous!
Since his mana permitted it, he was actually cultivating not just two, but four Laws at the same time! The appearance of the golden aura of fate and occasional Chaos Particles calmed the raging water and fire elemental particles as the pain they gave towards Noah lessened, the calmness causing a smoother absorption as an insane cultivation session went underway.
A few hours passed.
A day passed. Two days! Three Days!
A few days passed, and Noah continued to keep the four unique skills active at the same time as he made insane progress in the Laws of Fire, Water, Fate, and Chaos. He alternated between the two Supreme Laws that required one to increase while the other stalled, having a similar rate of progression for both of them.
It had been such a long and grueling process, but as the elemental storm and overpowering auras of fate and chaos raged on, he had finally seen the percentage of the Laws of Water and Fire shoot past 31%, the Stage for them also entering 3! At the same time, he was able to amass more than 80,000 Fate Lines and the same number of Chaos Particles, shooting the progress of the two Supreme Laws even higher.
RUMBLE!
An influx of essence rushed in as Noah breathed out slowly, watching calmness gradually settle in as he began stopping the supply of mana to activate the {Fate's Disciple}, {Disciple of Chaos}, {Disciple of Fire} and the {Disciple of Water} unique skills. The last influx of essence caused the Fire and Water Origin Cores to shine bright red and blue respectively before they settled down, a sense of immense power emanating from them. The Fate Lines flowing within his body thrummed with strength as the Chaos Field that contained numerous Chaos Particles rolled around him with strength
He glanced at the updated stat panel as he marveled at the rapid speed he continued to show.
[Noah Osmont][Title(s): Infernal Lord(Variant)]
[Bloodline(s): Vampyre Progenitor(Awakening)]
[Fate Line(s) : 256,243]
[Chaos Particle(s) : 224,276]
[Origin Core(s) : Fire-3, Water-3]
[Domain(s) : Fate, Chaos, Water, Fire, Space]
[Vitality: DOMAIN]
[Focus: - ]
[Strength: DOMAIN]
[Law(s) : Fate-2.5%, Chaos-2.2%, Water-31, Fire-31%, Space-8%]
Noah's clone and main body also felt a vibrant energy continuously course around to every part of muscle and bone, the unique energy that was released from the Fire Origin Cores going on to wash over every single cell in his body as he felt like his muscles were packed with an astounding explosive force and his bones were hardened to insane degrees!
For the Law of Water and Fire, they seemed to heavily influence his body's strength and defense as they enhanced it to levels he never thought possible, with the other boost they provided being the percentage attached to the Absolute Abilities contained in the <
They were determined by the Stage that the Fire and Water Origin Cores were at, and the current boost had moved to 300% for all of the abilities.
The thrumming Fate Lines and vigorous Chaos Particles swimming in his Chaos Field made him feel even more powerful, his heart feeling a sense of profound accomplishment for such a fast rate of progress!
Noah calmed his aching body that felt in top shape, the pain he continued to feel while dual cultivating the two laws completely forgotten as he got up to test his strength.
BOOM!
The instant he tapped his feet on the ground that was the junction of the Water and Fire Law Space, his figure shot to the skies as he broke the sound barrier, reaching supersonic flight instantly as his speed was enhanced to insane degrees from his body being constantly strengthened with the unique energy his two Stage 3 cores provided!
He came to a halt in midair as he smiled, feeling the explosive force in his fists as he calmed his energy down and disappeared from the skies of the Northern Continent of the Spiritual World.
Chapter 448 - Supreme Treasure
Noah's Ancient Blood Clone teleported deep in the Central Continent of the Spiritual World where the Blacksmith's Forge lay. He had spent a significant amount of time cultivating the four laws that he currently had the cultivation techniques of, and planned to get to the task on how to best use the [Unique Material- Aquamarine Mesrandite] that he obtained from the southern region of the Celestial Realm.
It was a treasure that could either be used to forge a new supreme treasure, or be used to [Refine] an already existing one.
His current mindset was leading him towards creating another one, as he had very few to begin with, and using the material to refine his only existing one would only give a boost, himself having no knowledge of exactly how big this boost would be.
He was thinking of using the Unique Material to create a Supreme Treasure in the form of an armor since he already had one in the form of a weapon. One weapon, one armor, two Supreme Treasures!
His gaze was clear as he went towards the [Hearth] of the Blacksmith's Forge and communicated with the Spiritual World System.
"Is the process of forging a Supreme Treasure any different from the Item Sets we've been creating?"
[Yes. It will take a significant amount of time to create one depending on the unique material and expected treasure.]
Noah gave a light nod as he waved his hands and pushed the [Unique Material- Aquamarine Mesrandite] towards the hearth, a blue light shining as the large crystal material that was double Noah's own size was scanned thoroughly.
[This unique material is fully capable of creating a complete Supreme Treasure, with a possibility of a few scraps being left to perform a refinement in the future. Do you have any specific requests f
or the design of the treasure? The [Recipe Design] feature can be used in this instance.]
The Spiritual World System that understood everything happening on it asked in a monotone fashion, Noah smiling as he knew this entity which was connected to many planets through his own connection with it as its master had access to enormous vaults of information.
He had access to this information as well, but his mind was nowhere near as close to what the Planetary Systems could contain and process, thus he left a majority of the minute small details on all the planets he came across and their abundance of information to the Planetary Systems. When it came to items, he had some ideas on what he could design himself based on his imagination and his own experiences, but he knew that the Spiritual World Planetary System could come up with something multiple times better than him just because of its special identity!
"Use the information of all the suits of armor we've come across recently from the different worlds and organizations. Design something that is a combination of all of their strengths to create a Supreme Armor."
Thus, he left the design of the powerful treasure to the entity with enormous reserves of information to make something at the peak of quality and usability.
[Understood, Master. Any specific name for this Recipe Design?]
Noah thought closely at this question before he replied, a smile spreading across his devilishly handsome face as he glanced at the water elements dancing around the [Unique Material- Aquamarine Mesrandite].
"Staying with the theme of water, let's call this Supreme Treasure...-[Hydromancer's Mantle]."
[Understood, Master. It should take approximately 72 hours.]
RUMBLE!
Essence began to converge around the Blacksmith's Forge as the huge [Unique Material- Aquamarine Mesrandite] was taken further into the Hearth, a blue flame beginning to wrap around it as it shimmered strongly under the heat.
While the material was being broken down, the Spiritual World System was compiling large reserves of information on all the armors that the numerous worlds Noah was connected to held, a database of information that even the strongest information groups would envy freely flowing into it from the connection it shared with Noah.
