Chapter 1756 - 1756

Supreme Thief's technique uncovered the hidden trap placed by Heaven and Earth. It seemed that their law had tried to hide deep into the cultivator's mental sea during the procedure, but Noah could draw it out after performing the ability.

The lump of light struggled to escape the technique. It was too weak to ignore Supreme Thief's ability, but it seemed partially resistant to it.

Noah watched the lump of light slowly descending back into the mental sea. The law began to radiate a dangerous aura during the process. It wanted to destroy every last bit of the cultivator's memories, but Noah's mental waves moved faster.

His mind thoughts shattered the cultivator's mental sphere and brought its insides among the dark world. Noah didn't even need to snap his fingers at that point. His dark matter shot forward and isolated the lump of white light.

Noah closed his eyes as the cultivator's memories flowed inside his dark world and revealed their contents. Countless images ran through his vision as the technique dissected that mental energy to uncover every secret.

'Nothing,' Noah concluded while opening his eyes and focusing on the lump of light.

"You have already taken care of those memories," Noah announced while the dark matter brought the lump of light in his grasp, "But you aren't a destroyer. You like to absorb."

Noah activated the workshop and began to tinker with the light. Pieces of memories and random images ended up in his mind, and they didn't only involve the cultivator.

Noah could feel Heaven and Earth's intentions. They seemed unable to self-destruct since the dark world and the tainted region affected their connection with that piece of their energy, so they could only develop a second plan.

The transformation could destroy the cultivator's body and mind. Heaven and Earth wanted to hide that piece of their law and let Noah vanquish it with his ambition.

Their last attempt to devour the cultivator's mental energy only served to sway Noah away from the real target. It was a desperate gamble that they lost in front of their paranoid opponent.

Other information flowed inside Noah's mind after he went through Heaven and Earth's intentions. He could finally see the cultivator's memories and find his answers.

A long cut in space appeared in his vision. The crack seemed harmless, but it also had the ability to disappear and fuse with the world.

It was clear that the crack was an inscribed item, but Noah didn't recognize its nature. That portal felt to belong to a foreign branch of the inscription methods, something that he had only seen in the items from the cities in the sky.

The visions moved forward. The insides of the crack contained an immense separate dimension that featured many castles. Their style clearly belonged to the Crystal City, but he also saw cultivators who wore robes that didn't carry the expected white shades.

'They are hiding everyone there,' Noah concluded while he moved through the various memories.

Many of those memories had inevitably suffered some damage after the various movements. Heaven and Earth had absorbed them while Noah was transforming them.

A few images were blurry, others had sharp cracks running through their fabric, and some were completely missing. Noah felt lucky to have gained a complete view of the portal before encountering problems.

'I can't lose the location!' Noah shouted in his mind as his focus increased.

The workshop began to work harder. It didn't care about the actual structure of the light anymore. Transforming wasn't the point now. It had to restore the last crucial memory, even if that could lead to the loss of other insights into Heaven and Earth's behavior.

An image eventually unfolded in his vision. Pieces of light gathered in his mind and gave birth to a scene that covered a large region. There didn't seem to be anything special about that area, but Noah suddenly recognized a peculiar creature in the background.

A large rat was walking on the azure ground right below the portal. The creature didn't seem interested in that structure, but it had clearly seen it.

Noah promptly shattered the remaining light in his palm. The connection between that law and the sky still existed even after his influence's work. He couldn't risk notifying the rulers about his only clue.

The dark world around him returned inside the black hole, and Noah didn't hesitate to step out of the cell to reach his companions.

The cultivators who were protecting him didn't know what to say at that scene. The prisoner was no more, and Noah seemed in a hurry. Something had definitely happened, but they didn't know if that would benefit their organization.

"Listen up!" Noah roared once he reached the surface, and his voice spread through the entire tainted area.

Both cultivators and hybrids could understand the meaning behind his words, so they quickly abandoned their tasks and gathered around Noah. It didn't matter that he was a foreigner for many of them. They still respected him enough to listen to his speech.

"I have found the Crystal City," Noah immediately revealed as roars fused with his human words. "I only have to take care of a small matter before approaching its actual location."

The meaning behind his speech was pretty obvious. Noah was trying to rally troops since his group wasn't enough for that battle. After all, the Crystal City had teleported away countless experts according to the reports of Noah's team.

"I will abandon my current task right away to focus on this valuable target," Noah continued before his voice gained a chilling tone. "I will consider a coward or worse those who decide to remain in the safety of my domain."

"This isn't your domain," Elsie snorted. "I'm glad for your help, but I won't send my underlings into such an unclear battle."

Noah stomped his foot on the ground, and a massive crack spread through the entire tainted region. His ambition resonated with the mutations inside the terrain and made it split on its own. A simple attack had been enough to mess the entire layout of that land.

The mutations had been different at that time. Noah had controlled himself and deployed his dark world to give a precise purpose to his influence. He didn't make the region better. He turned those materials into an improved version of themselves that had a clear connection with his existence.

"I don't want to fight before a war," Noah explained. "I'm just stating the obvious. You won't become proper allies if you decide to skip this battle."

King Elbas and the others flew behind him during that statement. They all unfolded their auras as dark matter flowed out of Noah's body. He still allowed the cultivators from the Sinnell family to use their senses in that environment, but the dark world also attached itself to the tainted laws in the area.

"Are you really willing to fight us over this squabble?" Elsie shouted. "We won against the invasion of the Crystal City, and this is only a mere branch of the Sinnell family. We have more experts ready to join you or fight your organization."

"You have all read the reports," Noah whispered while wearing a cold smile and gesturing to his companions to leave.

The group remained silent while they left the dark area. Glares would shoot from their eyes, but they didn't attack. The previous words had been enough to make them understand the nature of the threat.

Elsie struggled to take a side, but she eventually ordered her underlings to follow Noah's group. She didn't want her organization to become the next Sailbrird family.

Author's notes: It took only a few more minutes lucky. Btw, don't worry too much about my fever. I'm quite tough in that sense. Chapters will come out normally.
