At this moment, a resplendent armor that very few would know the name of but closely remember its unique design was being created. The [Hydromancer's Mantle] would have its design started today, with its creation being completed some days later!
With this process underway, Noah's clone continued forward as there were simply too many things that fell on its hands. He was currently at the Domain Realm, but his skill trees were at the Soul Forging Realm. On top of increasing the percentage of laws, he had to increase the proficiency of his skills while preparing for a busy future.
His main body had been using the abilities of {Herald of Fate} and {Agent of Chaos} to foresee many things with more clarity these past few days, grasping a few abstruse pieces of information that dealt with the Infernal Lords. His title as the 9th Infernal Lord would not all be for naught, and he foresaw that he would be called upon sometime soon in the future for him to begin carrying out his duties!
The clone continued forward as the main body was moving side by side with Athena and the members of the Righteous Fire Exploration Team. Boru was still as boisterous as ever- he talked towards the two beings holding titles of Noble Fates with more respect as they were now an entire realm above him.
"You two have gathered the information on your possible opponents and rewards?"
The gaze of Boru was shining as he mentioned the rewards, just the rumors released on exactly what was at stake in the upcoming tournament making the hearts of powerful Celestials quiver!
Noah smiled as he replied to Boru with shining eyes.
"One of the biggest rewards in the Luminescent Rainbow Dew, something that was found in limited quantities by the Founders more than a thousand years ago, a treasure that guarantees a being an advancement to the World Realm!"
Yes! Just one of the rewards up for grabs for battling Special Existences and beings with Noble Fates was something that would create an expert capable of affecting the direction of the future war. Experts at the World Realm were rare, where even the lowest leveled Infernal Lords stood at the peak of this level! Treasures that allowed for one to enter such a realm...were nearly nonexistent in the hands of others. In this coming tournament, just what other treasures lay in store? Just who would stand against them vying for these same treasures?!
Chapter 449 - No Chance of Winning!
The Sanctum was bustling with activities as word spread of the magnificent battles to take place soon.
Those in the ranks of Celestials were looking forward to seeing the geniuses at the forefront of their organization while those from the numerous Prime Worlds in the Light Expanse looked forward to the show of power from the overlords that stood over their Light Expanse.
Among these many forces, there were also the hidden figures from the Dark Expanse that wanted to use this opportunity to learn more about their enemies!
It was an opportunity to assess the supposed geniuses that would be taking charge in the upcoming battle, this tournament actually being something that could reward them the most in this venture in the Celestial Realm as it provided a rare commodity about the Celestials- Information!
Many beings moved with their own motivations, but it was ultimately to watch the stupendous battles that would soon be occurring.
Amidst the bustle of activities, Noah was moving with the Righteous Fire Exploration Team where the boisterous Boru continued to talk about the beings they would be facing.
"The toughest Celestial Grandmasters you will have to watch out for are Grandmaster Light and the Three-Eyed Fate Child, the Special Existences that run their own Elite Teams and have been moving in the regions where Fate Behemoths are abundant."
His eyes were serious as he said this, their steps taking them towards the specified location in the Celestial Realm when one could find the less aggressive Earth Behemoths roving around. The path they followed made them seem like ants as they stood within droves of beings that went towards the same direction, Celestials and normal beings from the Prime World alike.
"I say this because unlike the other beings similar to you and hold the title of those with Noble Fates, these Special Existences are beings that are cultivating not just the Supreme Law of Fate, but also another Supreme Law!"
The gaze of Boru shone with splendor as his burly body thrummed with power, just mentioning these powerful Celestials making one feel the adoration and wariness he had at their power.
"So while you are proficient in the Law of Fate as they are, they also have another Supreme Law aiding their power. Grandmaster Light is someone that cultivates the Supreme Law of Light, a being that very few can even damage, while the Three-Eyed Fate Child is very proficient in the Supreme Law of Time-Space, a very abstruse law that combines the Law of Time and the Law of Space. Those that spar with him do not even understand why they are defeated, they just find out that they are. So-"
"Junior Brother Boru, why are you only bragging about Senior Sister Light and Senior Brother Three-Eyed? Are the rest of us not worthy?"
From the front, a strong and confident voice spoke towards their group as a man surrounded by a group of golden robed Celestials caused the crowds of beings to spread out, his gaze locking on the figures of Noah and Athena while he sent a question towards Boru.
The burly Boru smiled wryly as he called out to the being that had interrupted his speech.
"Senior Brother Xander, I haven't seen you in over a year. You're as confident as ever."
The Celestial Grandmaster called Xander looked forward with squinting eyes and a wide smile as he came in front of their group, his eyes filled with shining lights locking with Athena and Noah.
"So, am I not an opponent our new Junior Brother and Sister holding the titles for Nobe Fates should be looking out for? I do hold the same title if I recall."
Grandmaster Xander did not relent, continuing his question as Noah glanced at this being he had already collected information about.
Grandmaster Xander- Dark-haired, gold eyes, age 233, roughly 264,927 Fate Lines, and a being holding the title of one with a Noble Fate!
"My oh my, are you bullying the younger disciples again?"
Another voice came out from the distance as another figure appeared, the situation turning into one where multiple people just invited themselves into the conversation as the two beings at the center of it were Noah and Athena!
Xander turned towards the new figure as he glanced at her with a smile, his eyes shining with carefulness.
"Senior Sister Lila, I hope you've trained enough for these upcoming battles, or it won't be just the younger disciples I would be bullying."
A provocative sentence was released from Xander towards the newly appearing being that was also someone that held the title of a being with a Noble Fate!
This time it was the Celestial known as Lila- Blue hair, dark eyes, age 229 and around 250,000 Fate Lines, a woman with deadly proficiency in close combat.
"I like that you're still so confident, Xander! Now let's take a look at the Junior Brother and Sister who will be fighting for the treasures with us this time around. Crixus and Athena, is it?"
Yet another combatant in the upcoming tournament came to introduce themselves to them as the woman whose body vibrated with power came close, her gaze when looking towards Noah and Athena being one of an a.d.u.l.t looking at upcoming young ones!
Athena nodded as she replied.
"Nice to meet Senior Brother Xander and Senior Sister Lila. We look forward to learning many things in these upcoming matches."
Her words were those without disrespect, but also expressing that they would be giving it their all in the coming battles. Lila smiled sweetly as she patted Athena on the head, the collection of 4 beings holding Noble Fates coming together all at once occurring in the Sanctum of the Celestial Realm!
"So cute. Use this opportunity to increase your battle prowess and learn from your seniors. You'll have many more opportunities in the future."
Grandmaster Lila said this as she patted Athena'
s head, seeming like a caring Senior Sister taking care of her junior.
Her demeanor and the demeanor of Xander made one thing abundantly clear- in the upcoming battles, Noah and Athena were not even considered serious combatants, their few years cultivating and recent breakthroughs in realms not even landing in the eyes of these powerful experts that had been moving for more than 200 years!
As far as what was known, Athena had just broken past the 100,000 Barrier of fate lines recently, with the other junior brother Crixus still not even passing that yet.
These other beings with Noble Fates, barring the even more powerful Special Existences they had not met- none of them believed that Athena and Noah even had a shot of winning the bountiful rewards!
Chapter 450 - [Luminescent Rainbow Dew]
A hidden smile appeared on Noah's face as he followed the collection of Celestials to the East of the Sanctum where the docile Earth Behemoths were abundant. The Senior Brother Xander and Senior Sister Lila that were also beings holding the titles of those with Noble Fates were having their own conversation in front of them, the party that Noah was with following closely behind.
"What do you think our odds are against Grandmaster Light and Senior Brother Three-Eyed?"
Lila asked the confident Xander with a smile as they made their way towards the predetermined location, an impassive look appearing on Xander's face as he replied.
"They both are proficient in two Supreme Laws, but I don't see us going down so easily! They have to spread their focus to two laws while we focus on one, this is where our edge lies…"
The Righteous Fire Exploration Team continued following behind them as they listened to their conversation, awkward looks appearing on the faces of Boru and the others as they saw the moment the Senior Brother Xander and Senior Sister Lila introduced themselves to Crixus and Athena, they completed disregarded them as actual combatants in the upcoming fights.
Noah glanced towards Athena, the War Princess having eyes shining with lights that longed for battle as he chuckled. Athena saw his gaze as her eyes turned sharp and she sent him a telepathic message.
"Don't falter and try your best in the battles ahead. And I better not see you trying anything funny around everyone."
Her eyes held a dangerous glint as they focused on Noah, his head bobbing up and down as he nodded and replied teasingly.
"Nothing around everyone, but when we're alone?"
"Hmph."
The War Princess turned her head away as the procession of Celestials continued forward, their party coming in contact with two other powerful beings holding Noble Fates as they made their way towards a specified location for the upcoming Tournament!
Among the many beings rushing force, a particularly arrogant Emperor Penguin was moving with the curvaceous Elena, Barbatos, and other Harbingers that were moving in the Celestial Realm.
Barbatos had a bored expression as they went forward, the curvaceous Elena giving glances to this woman that was around her Progenitor more than many others as they all made their way forward. There were many beings moving, each with their own goals and emotions, but the central figures always remained the same.
Hidden within the masses of beings were also the forces from the Dark Expanse, where Malthus, the Spatial Magician, was leading a group of beings for the mission of collecting more information on the powerful beings within the ranks of Celestials.
Each with their own ideals and goals, but they all went towards a single location!
Far away from the Sanctum, the place where everyone was congregating at was a wide expanse of land that had very few of the huge ancient trees that towered grandly. It was a field of a few miles of clearing that was surrounded by trees in a circular fashion, giving an extremely clear look at everything that would be happening within it.
It was a field of resplendent greenery that was surrounded by even more mystically glowing trees, always making one feel the wonder and magic of the Celestial Realm.
Around the perimeters of the huge circle, numerous figures were already present and spread out. Some were standing on the ground, others had climbed the large trees as they perched on them like thousands of ants, each of the huge ancient trees holding thousands of beings on their branches and leaves as they all prepared to watch the spectacle.
Near the clear green field that would act as the arena, one could see multiple Prime Warsh.i.p.s stationed above in the skies. Many Celestials present here as they also watched on with great interest.
The cl.u.s.ter of beings and bustle of activities only increased as time went on, the recognizable figures of those participating in the tournament arriving as many carried out their own discussions.
The ones more knowledgeable and having discussions worthy of note were the throngs of Celestials on the Warsh.i.p.s or those on the ground, their eyes correctly locating the combatants today as many proposed their own theories while seeing them roll in.
SHAA!
A blinding flash of light erupted out at a certain location as a being appeared magnificently, the bustle of discussions moving towards her appearance.
"Grandmaster Light has finally arrived. My goodness, I can't even see through her Fate Lines with how blinding her achievements in the Supreme Law of Light are."
"If you're looking for someone striking, look over there where Senior Brother Thee-Eyed is. His third eye locks you in and makes you feel like you can never look away."
The Celestials that the discussions moved to were the beings that were called Special Existences, their sheer appearance pulling the attention of all beings there as even the forces of the Dark Expanse had dark looks!
"The upcoming Junior Brother Crixus and Junior Sister Athena are also here. They should have some chance to show themselves a little right?"
"Against Special Existences like that and 10s of Grandmasters that have been in the Domain Expansion Realm for years? I wouldn't be so sure!"
The cacophony of noises and discussions reached their peak as many of the participating Celestials arrived.
OOOONG!
At this moment, a blinding light appeared in the skies above the very center of the clear field where the battles would be taking place, a figure of an oppressively powerful being appearing.
He was adorned in a golden robe, his face aged and wise with an excellent long beard and white hair trickling down to his shoulders.
THRUM!
His body rumbled with power as he purposefully and wildly released the lines of fate kept tightly in his body, the Celestials present being able to count more than 3 million Fate Lines strongly rolling around this being's body!
"I am Grandmaster Onillus, and I have left my post deep in the Celestial Realm to oversee this little tournament here today."
His voice was resounding and strong, being able to be heard by every single being around the 10 miles area as he stroked his beard profoundly.
"It is being made a show of for a reason that will soon become apparent, with one of the biggest things being...this."
The powerful Grandmaster Onillus holding more than 3 million lines of fate waved his hands, a single multicolored water-drop shaped object appearing in the skies!
"One of the prizes for today's winners, and something that I want many of you here today to remember."
It was only 10 inches in size, but it released a blinding rainbow colored light that reflected on the eyes of every single being watching. Noah himself glanced to the skies as the identity of the item became visible to him!
[Luminescent Rainbow Dew] :: A consumable treasure found in the deeper locations of the Celestial Realm. Can be used to propel the rank of a being all the way to the World Rank, with the condition that their bodies can withstand the energy released by this treasure. Its rarity does not need to be stressed.
Chapter 451 - The Battle of Geniuses!
[Luminescent Rainbow Dew] :: A consumable treasure found in the deeper locations of the Celestial Realm. Can be used to propel the rank of a being
all the way to the World Rank, with the condition that their bodies can withstand the energy released by this treasure. Its rarity does not need to be stressed.
Noah's eyes squinted at the description only apparent to his eyes as a hungry light erupted from him. The others only looked at this scintillating rainbow colored dew with fascination as the wizened Grandmaster Onillus continued speaking.
"Some of the geniuses that you may or may not know will be fighting in randomly selected battles in order to get their hands on this, a treasure that is capable of bringing a being fully into the World Realm."
…!
"What?!"
"This…"
"Holy!"
RUMBLE!
A buzz of essence and sounds rumbled out as a luminous treasure was given the identity of as if it was nothing. The Celestials only had shining eyes as they glanced at the treasure, while those from the Light Expanse looked at it with envious and longing eyes.
Those from the Dark Expanse had ashen faces as they saw a treasure that would most likely produce a World Realm expert to stand against them in the future, and they most likely had no way to prevent it as just the overseeing Grandmaster seemed to be in the World Realm himself!
World Realm experts were extremely rare, only those at the peak of powers being the ones to enjoy this mystical realm. Yet in this tournament they would watch, a Celestial would be given a treasure that would simply create a World Realm expert.
While their thoughts were troubled for the future, it made their desire for the Celestial Realm where this treasure was found to grow ever so higher!
Malthus the Spatial Magician was using his unique magic item to portray all that was happening here back to his forces in the Scholar's Guild. So it was not just the beings here that were witnesses to what was about to occur, but the leaders of the powerful forces of the Dark Expanse as well.
