Chapter 1599: 1599. Mission

The experts started working on the plan after the jokes quieted down.

Jordan and one of the cultivators in Luke's team informed the rest of the Legion about the plan. They also summoned Pearl and the other experts from the Balrow family to help them convey the news.

King Elbas and Second Prince began to work on the teleport while listing ideas on how to handle Alexander's issue. They even had a lot of catching up to do since both had changed throughout the years.

Divine Demon secluded himself to complete the requirements for the breakthrough. The gaseous stage had stopped being able to contain his existence.

June and the others also secluded themselves. They had grown tired of their cultivation level after witnessing their companions facing powerful opponents time after time. They wanted to get their hands on a rank 8 battle prowess as soon as possible.

The other rank 7 assets inside the blue regions were in a similar situation. Their leaders wanted to resurrect a rank 9 existence. Those underlings couldn't accept to remain so useless.

Theodora began to send mental messages toward the other experts of the Legion. That organization had other powerful leaders in the Outer Lands, human domain, and magical beasts' reign, but it was time to group up.

Wilfred couldn't learn the news because he was busy with his breakthrough. Still, he could sense the commotion happening around his training area, which made him decide to quicken his process.

Alexander followed Noah in his training area. The two experts immediately began to work on Alexander's situation, and they even contacted the hybrids handling the Legion's inventory to receive further help.

Potions, pills, and similar resources rarely worked on Noah. Most of them targeted cultivators, so their effects never managed to improve his innate features.

However, the Legion had gathered countless resources after the recent attacks. Alexander's force had even annexed multiple organizations that brought their inventories with them.

Noah could compensate for the lack of efficiency with quantity. He was unaware of the outcome of Radiant Eyes' battle, but he could still sense that his time was short.

Alexander and the other hybrids had similar feelings that made them go all-out in their procedures. Every expert in the Legion stopped saving resources to get as much help as possible from those items.

Noah mostly used drugs that could help his mind. His training with Alexander saw him relying on the innate features of his mental energy to take care of the instabilities inside the expert.

The procedure forced Noah to devour countless ethereal magical beasts. Initially, he took care of the horde of weaker creatures since they barely affected his mind, but he soon started working on the stronger ones.

Devouring the ethereal figure of one of the rank 8 magical beasts made his mind suffer like never before. Noah would normally take long breaks when it came to that ability, but his situation didn't allow him to be careful.

The drugs managed to remove the need for long breaks, but they couldn't eradicate the various drawbacks that accompanied that ability. Noah's mental walls grew thinner as his mind expanded, and a splitting headache soon became a constant aspect of his days.

On the other hand, Alexander's state improved as the procedure continued. He was experiencing Noah's resolve first-hand. The powerful expert could see how relentless Noah was with his training.

Noah never stopped nor took breaks. His mind was a bottomless pit, and his mental walls were firm materials that seemed able to handle any pressure.

The time spent without protection from the white sky had made Noah's mind reach new levels of stability. The various drugs also helped during the procedure, so Noah could go all-out.

His centers of power had started to harmonize as his cultivation level increased. The path toward the higher ranks had made his existence converge toward a stable shape, but Noah ruined that process with the recent training.

His mind grew exponentially. His mental waves cheered whenever Noah brought them more food. He felt as if he was finally unleashing the full potential of his center of power.

The plan eventually took form while everyone was busy training.

King Elbas completed the teleport and moved to his next project. His son started devising drugs to help the various rank 7 hybrids and magical beasts in the blue regions.

Wilfred came out of his training area and began to help with the plan. His breakthrough had been a success. He was a proud existence in the liquid stage now.

Divine Demon also approached the breakthrough during that period, and he eventually advanced. He didn't meet any problem during the procedure, so he could soon join the others and help where he could.

Daniel and Faith also advanced in that period, and Fergie pushed his power toward the peak of the seventh rank. It was evident that Noah's first underling would reach the next level before his old friends.

Noah did his best to fill the regions with his ambition after Alexander left. He bathed in the white light of the Immortal Lands and cultivated in the open while his pack thrived around him.

Pearl and the other experts from the Balrow family taught everything they knew about the pyramid to the various experts in the Legion. Their force had cleared the fourth layer, so their knowledge was vital to the mission.

Luke's team gathered the allied cells in the secret organization before activating a series of sensors previously placed in the human domain. The experts tried to understand the outcome of Radiant Eyes' battle, but they couldn't see much.

A battle between two rank 9 existence was a massive event, even for the Immortal Lands. The space of the higher plane could barely hold that spectacle. The energy released during the fight was enough to transform countless regions forever.

Luke's sensors couldn't see anything. There were only light and earthquakes. Weaker existences didn't have the right to witness that fight.

The Legion and Noah's army eventually gathered above a series of golden lines that stretched for entire regions. Every expert with rank 7 cultivation level or above had to join the mission. The survival of both organizations could depend on its outcome.

The overall power of the group was enough to shake the very foundation of the Immortal Lands. The army featured so many rank 8 existences that even some of the strongest human organizations would retreat at that sight.

"I must say," Wilfred whispered while glancing at Noah. "I'm starting to think that you really had some influence on our growth."

"No point wasting time," Noah roared. "Elbas, activate the formation!"

King Elbas snorted before snapping his fingers. Golden light and flames filled the formation and covered the army. Noah and the others slowly disappeared, and a massive pyramid eventually appeared in their vision.

The structure shook from time to time. It almost seemed alive, but not in the same way of Radiant Eyes' mountain. The Balrow family had dug the pyramid out of its previous position, but its appearance had remained the same. Time was unable to affect those dark-yellow bricks.

"I will start clearing the last layer," Alexander announced while turning toward his companions. "Follow the plan! Take care of the fifth layer before joining me. Remember that our survival depends on the mission!"

Countless roars and battle cries followed his words. Every expert in the army gave voice to their determination before entering the pyramid.
