Chapter 1705 - 1705

Nothing could stop Noah. The sheer power contained in his body already made him able to match spells. The unstable substance was almost too much in that situation.

Lady Phyllis could only summon weaker laws against Noah. Her metal body didn't express her true power, and her opponent made sure to remind her about that.

Noah was relentless. His hands dug through Lady Phyllis' c.h.e.s.t and ripped away flesh, organs, and bones. It didn't take him much to reach the other side of her body and create a large hole.

Heaven and Earth's light began to shine on her figure, but Noah promptly deployed the dark world to isolate his opponent. However, a series of detonations happened above Lady Phyllis' skin whenever the dark matter tried to envelop her.

Noah found himself unable to stop Heaven and Earth. Lady Phyllis' figure began to shine, and entire pieces of her insides reformed under his gaze.

'I can't cut her connection with Heaven and Earth,' Noah quickly concluded in his mind.

Noah had already confirmed the efficiency of Lady Phyllis' items. They could counter his entire arsenal except for the chaotic laws. His physical strength was managing to overwhelm her only because Heaven and Earth couldn't predict such a sharp increase of power.

Killing Lady Phyllis would be impossible if Noah couldn't sever her connection with Heaven and Earth. The light would continue to heal her until the effects of his ambition ran out.

"Where did you hide your items?" Noah asked as a cold smirk appeared on his face.

Violent thoughts were filling his mind. Noah could think of countless ways to kill the expert, and the quickest method saw him removing the items that stopped his other abilities.

"A single existence can't win against the might of the world!" Lady Phyllis shouted as she clenched her hand on Noah's arm.

A cold sensation spread through Noah's skin. A dark patch came out of Lady Phyllis' hand and tried to cover his arm. However, the sheer power contained in his flesh suppressed that ability and prevented its expansion.

"How?" Lady Phyllis asked, but her face suddenly dug the ground as Noah punched her again.

Lady Phyllis had tried to activate a spell that required physical contact. In theory, that was one of the strongest abilities in her arsenal. She could fill her opponents with her metal and drain them of their energy once she established a stable connection.

Yet, Noah's skin appeared impenetrable. Her influence couldn't spread through his flesh. She couldn't hurt his body with her weaker law, and a sense of powerlessness ended up filling her mind.

Noah didn't stop his offensive. Light continued to fall on his opponent and heal her injuries, but his punches fell nonetheless. He had to search the annoying inscribed items among that mass of metal, and he was ready to rip Lady Phyllis apart to find them.

'She absorbed my singularities with her hands,' Noah thought, and his fingers arched to pierce the expert's shoulders.

Pierces of flesh and bones flew through the hole as Noah ripped Lady Phyllis' shoulders apart and severed her arms. Snore's face then appeared on his c.h.e.s.t and ate those limbs before returning inside the black hole.

Noah used his fingers to perform a slash, and a singularity fell on Lady Phyllis without any obstruction. The pulling force didn't appear at that time. It seemed that he had successfully taken care of the inscribed items in charge of that ability.

Noah added his slashes to his offensive after that discovery. The singularities could express more power since they also used his darkness, so his destruction quickened.

Still, something changed when Heaven and Earth managed to regrow Lady Phyllis' arms. Noah launched a singularity only to find out that the pulling force had reappeared.

'They can also rebuild the inscribed items,' Noah quickly concluded before ripping Lady Phyllis' arms again.

Noah had a plan. It was a bloody tactic, but it was better than throwing punches blindly until his ambition ran out.

Heaven and Earth could heal Lady Phyllis and rebuild her items. Noah couldn't sever her connection with the rulers in that condition, but he could continue to rip her apart until he found the weapon that handled the dark world.

Everything would be easier at that point. Noah would become able to search the other items without worrying about Heaven and Earth's light.

Noah even had a backup plan that he preferred not to deploy. His chaotic laws were already affecting Lady Phyllis, so every death would force her to revive in a weaker form. He could try to kill her until Heaven and Earth gave up on her, but he would rather avoid time-consuming approaches as long as he had other viable tactics.

Heaven and Earth managed to rebuild Lady Phyllis' arms every few seconds, and Noah used that period to destroy the rest of her body and search for her items.

Noah initially found an item meant for his Blood Companions since it seemed able to deliver blows made of mental energy. Then, he found weapons that targeted specific abilities. Some of them even involved the parasite.

It took Noah a while to find the item the triggered the explosions meant to disperse the dark world. The weapon had the shape of a slimy substance that covered the other side of Lady Phyllis' skin, and Noah had to remove all of it to get rid of its annoying effects.

Noah could envelop Lady Phyllis inside the dark world at that point. The expert could still use her abilities to destroy the technique, but Noah was suppressing her. Entering the dark matter even stopped Heaven and Earth's healing, so her body soon crumbled under the relentless offensive.

Night quickly fused with the expert's law to sever her connection with Heaven and Earth, and Noah devoured the rest of her body before spreading his influence. The two of them were basically experts in that procedure by then. They didn't even need to talk to begin the severing.

The dark world dispersed after Lady Phyllis' existence left Heaven and Earth's system. Light didn't shine on Noah anymore, but the shockwaves of the second battlefield still reached his ears.

Noah turned to inspect his army. Both groups were holding their ground, but Heaven and Earth's influence was slowly forcing Noah's group back. Only the Foolery and Robert could balance that situation, but they had two solid stage cultivators as their opponents.

'It's time to turn the scales in my favor,' Noah thought, but a sudden sense of weakness filled his body and made him stagger mid-air.

The black hole had absorbed many of Lady Phyllis' body parts. Noah had even eaten her dantian, so his body had an immense amount of energy at its disposal.

The fourth center of power knew how to handle the drawbacks of his ambition, and it was even aware of his situation. The organ depleted a large chunk of the absorbed energy to disperse the stress and stabilize his flesh. The process didn't bring Noah's body back to its peak, but it isolated the temporary weakness.

Author's notes: My right arm is still sore. I've endured the past two days, but it doesn't want to move as usual now. I'll write the next chapters after sleeping, and I might not publish Chaos' Heir at all to take care of Demonic Sword. Mind you. This isn't a break. It's just a delay.
