Chapter 1308: 1308. Crowd

An intense divine aura filled the area. A wave of power swept Noah when the Snake lifted its massive head toward the sky and fixed its eyes on him.

Noah couldn't recognize the species of that creature. A pair of straight golden horns came out of its head, and yellow scales covered its body. Moreover, the beast appeared to be past the halfway mark of the lower tier.

'My luck has improved,' Noah thought as coldness seeped out of his eyes. 'I didn't expect to meet a rank 7 magical beast so soon.'

Noah had to suppress his power for centuries during the last part of his life in the lower plane. He couldn't even begin to express his strength in that frail world.

However, the higher plane was on a superior level. The terrain didn't even shatter during his landing. Noah knew that he could finally go all-out.

The Snake gave voice to a few hisses before throwing itself at Noah. The creature used the upper part of its body like a whip to crack its head at its opponent.

Noah let the black hole fill his dark vessels with higher energy and raised his hand. An immense power ran through his arm and landed on his back. Still, his body didn't falter in front of that force.

His feet dug the terrain as the attack pushed Noah back. He slid on the sturdy azure ground as he focused all his power on his arm.

The Snake managed to Noah push for an entire kilometer, but the power of its attack eventually dispersed. Pain then spread from the tip of its head at that point, and the creature found itself unable to retract its body.

A chill ran down the Snake's spine when it understood why it couldn't move freely. Noah had stabbed his fingers on that small patch of skin and was keeping the creature locked in his grasp.

The Snake felt like a simple prey under Noah's cold gaze. The creature had underestimated its opponent, but it wasn't ready to give up just yet.

Winds began to blow in the area as its golden horns started to vibrate. Air flowed on those body parts as the Snake activated its innate ability.

A dangerous sensation appeared in Noah's mind before a dense gale blew out of the Snake's nostrils. A storm engulfed Noah and ripped the upper part of his robe apart, and a few white marks appeared on his skin as the attack landed on his body.

The storm eventually dispersed, and the creature revealed a surprised expression when it saw that a giant black snake had replaced Noah's figure.

Snore had come out when it sensed that Noah couldn't withstand the attack directly, and it had helped him preserving his handhold. Its fangs had also stabbed the creature's mouth to restrain it further.

'That was refreshing!' Noah exclaimed in his mind.

A smile appeared on his face as pain reached his mind. It had been a long time since his last exciting battle, and he couldn't help but feel excited when he saw that even a simple divine beast could match his physical strength.

Moreover, the Snake's attack had been almost instantaneous. Noah couldn't dodge it in time.

'Now you die,' Noah eventually redirected his cold smile toward his opponent.

The Snake couldn't see Noah anymore, but it could feel the coldness that he radiated. It could sense the danger that was about to fall on it, and its survival instincts took control of its body in a desperate attempt to escape from that situation.

The creature began to struggle. It slammed its tail and relaunched its innate ability, but Snore managed to endure most of those attacks. The few injuries that it suffered even healed in an instant.

The Snake could only watch as Snore's horns started to vibrate and amass dark matter. The creature could sense that it wouldn't be able to survive that attack.

Noah helped in keeping the Snake still while he remained inside Snore. He couldn't wait to win his first battle in the Immortal Lands, but his mind suddenly sensed the arrival of a second enemy.

The presence was too fast. It pierced Snore's body and reached Noah's position in an instant. He could only raise his free hand to stop the incoming creature.

An even stronger force crashed on his arm and ran through the entirety of his body. Noah managed to remain still only because the Snake fought the attack with him.

Snore quickly reformed on Noah's side as he studied the creature that had attacked him. It was a ten meters tall deer-like creature that had two pairs of giant crimson horns.

Smoke came out of the Deer's horns. Noah was holding one of them to keep the creature still, so he could sense the wave of heat that they radiated. Even his skin couldn't defend against that ability and began to burn.

'Lower tier of the seventh rank,' Noah concluded as he analyzed the beast's power. 'It's a bit stronger than the Snake, and its innate ability counters Snore's body.'

Noah began to think that there was something strange with that area. He could accept that the Immortal Lands had an abundance of divine creatures, but he couldn't understand how different beasts could cohabitate in the same environment.

Two creatures from different species but with similar level would usually fight for the control of an area. That situation made even less sense since they were both targeting Noah.

'Maybe it's just a case,' Noah wondered as he kept both creatures locked in his grasp. 'I can study this area after I kill them.'

Two magical beasts in the seventh rank would typically force divine cultivators to retreat and reorganize their offensive. Yet, Noah was different. He had three divine creatures with him, and his power surpassed what simple rank 7 experts could do.

Noah's aura surged as two shadows came out of his chest. Night released an angry roar when it saw the white sky, and the Demonic Sword did the same at the sight of the two beasts.

Snore was the first to attack. Its massive mouth enveloped the Deer and stabbed the terrain to keep it locked in that position. Its six horns began to accumulate dark matter as it prepared its innate ability.

A series of deep cuts appeared on the Snake's head. Night released a storm of attacks that severed entire chunks of the massive beast's skin and revealed the skull underneath.

The Demonic Sword shot downward and severed the Deer's crimson horns before stabbing the terrain. Noah quickly stored those body parts in his separate space before wielding the blade and pointing it at the Snake.

His companions were enough to defeat those creatures, but Noah wanted to end the battle quickly. He was in a foreign environment that he didn't even begin to study. He couldn't remain in the open for too long.

However, his consciousness suddenly sensed the appearance of a third presence. Snore's head exploded before it could launch its attack, and a twenty meters tall Eagle came out of the raging dark matter to attack Noah.

The Demonic Sword trembled at that sight, and Noah didn't hesitate to wave it at the new opponent. An intense fear filled the beast, and its survival instincts forced it to change direction at the last second.

The creature didn't manage to dodge Noah's slash, but it prevented it from landing on its head. A black line flew through the white environment and severed one of its massive brown wings, forcing the Eagle to crash on the ground.

Snore reformed before the Deer could retreat. Its mouth enveloped the beast again and kept it still as it prepared the dark beam.

Meanwhile, Night continued to injure the restrained Snake and severed its horns to counter its innate ability. Three magical beasts in the seventh rank couldn't even make Noah move, but his consciousness soon sensed the arrival of two more powerful creatures.
