Birth of the Demonic Sword

Chapter 1131 1131. System

Elements had distinct features that made them different from each other. Those qualities didn’t identify them since spells had various effects, but their nature was to follow them.

Light and darkness were complete opposites, and they even repelled each other.

The light element was soft, almost weightless. It could fill entire areas without affecting anything, and it focused on purity rather than sheer quantity.

It was calm and captivating. Some of Daniel’s leadership skills came from his innate aura as a cultivator with a light aptitude.

Instead, the darkness element was heavy. It was violent and abrupt, and it didn’t care about anything that it destroyed in its expansion.

Darkness appeared able to engulf everything. It strived for quantity, and it didn’t stop at anything.

Both elements shared similar features too. They were a core part of the world’s fabric, and they were everywhere. They also tend to expand as long as they had space.

Nevertheless, Noah couldn’t replicate the light element even if it had those similarities with his aptitude. He had even tried meditating next to Daniel, but that only originated negative sensations inside him.

The matter didn’t appear to have a solution, but the enlightenment gained inside the white star stated that he had to complete the creation of his world if he wanted his individuality to advance.

That was a requirement set by his dark star. His new center of power made his individuality even harder to improve, and Noah could only accept that annoying feature.

’What will happen with all this energy then?’ Noah questioned himself about that issue.

His dantian had absorbed the largest share of raw laws among his centers of power. Still, they had only fused with its structure without adding any other effect.

The raw laws kept on refilling his dantian, but they didn’t improve it. Their energy had still flowed there though, and Noah didn’t know what had happened to it.

’Maybe it will show some change once I manage to advance,’ Noah thought. ’I wonder if I can still force it with this resource.’

Noah didn’t give up on the possibility of forcing the breakthrough. That was the easiest method, especially since he didn’t have a solution for the light element.

The group rejoined Noah when they saw the white star disappearing, but they felt surprised when they saw him. They couldn’t understand how he was still at the peak of the fifth rank even after absorbing so much true meaning.

Noah didn’t explain anything and turned to continue his long flight. The others could only follow him without asking any questions related to his cultivation level.

The endless void filled their days again, and only the casual appearance of raw laws made them deviate their path. Yet, Noah often flew toward them on his own in that part of the travel.

The radiations filled the whole area. The group was too close to the bigger stars to avoid their effects, and even Noah had begun to struggle to continue moving forward without relying on external items.

Luckily for them, both the Council and the Shandal Empire had prepared for that journey. The two Matriarchs had many potions and pills that could keep their minds calm and unaffected by the radiations.

The experts began to trade those resources and keep notes of eventual payments that they had to complete once returned to the surface. Only the Royals remained out of the cycle since they had brought their methods and didn’t sell to anyone.

Noah found more giant stars to eat, but the outcome was always the same. Only his mind and body showed improvements, while his dantian remained the same.

The experts eventually had to rely on the raw laws to refill their dantians. The long journey cost them small bits of "Breath" at every sprint, and they had flown for more than a decade already without even cultivating once.

Of course, the others alternated themselves in the absorption to keep in check any adverse reaction.

Noah’s body advanced steadily in the lower tier and even neared its last part. His mind improved in sturdiness, and his spherical rune enlarged it at a steady pace.

At some point, the group finally found the remaining team members, but the scene that appeared in front of them was more complicated than it seemed.

The Hive’s experts were at some distance from a system of seven massive stars that radiated dense auras. The light in the spheres seemed about to become solid due to the pressure that those radiations created in the area.

The blackness of the void didn’t exist there. The seven stars managed to illuminate every corner of the area since they formed a wide static circle that left large empty paths among them.

Chasing Demon, Flying Demon, Dreaming Demon, and Elder Julia were right outside of the dense area. They kept their eyes fixed on the whirlpools that the radiation formed on the void, but they didn’t show any sign of addiction.

Second Prince was right in front of them, in the middle of the dense radiations. He kept his eyes closed as he floated in a cross-legged stance among them.

The radiations gathered in the red crystal at the center of his forehead. Small traces of white light flew with them too and flowed inside Second Prince as he continued his meditation.

His level saw a constant increase during that process, but his training was nothing compared to what was happening in the middle of the seven stars.

Noah moved his gaze only to find King Elbas floating in a cross-legged position right at the center of the array of stars. He was in the denser spot and where the largest number of radiations amassed, but a golden light covered his skin and protected his body.

Noah neared the four from the Hive who could only shrug their shoulders at his questioning gaze. Their version of the story then explained how they had ended up in that situation.

Apparently, the black and white sphere in the middle sea could lead anywhere inside the separate reality. Considering the size of that world, even the slightest difference during the entrance would bring cultivators to a completely different place.

Flying Demon and Dreaming Demon had quickly found each other with their personal methods, and they had met Chasing Demon along their way.

During their hunt for raw laws, they had found King Elbas, Second Prince, and Elder Julia who were flying toward the stars.

The situation had changed at that point. King Elbas had gained the monopoly over every raw law and had given some of them only to Second Prince.

The Demons and Elder Julia had become like the rest of Noah’s group. They weren’t strong enough to oppose the powerhouse dictating the rules, so they could only continue to fly, hoping for a change in that trend.

That didn’t happen until they found that array of stars. King Elbas had immediately shot toward its center and had cultivated since then.

"Why are you still here then?" Noah asked after their story ended.

King Elbas was busy, so they could leave to look for other raw laws. They were there to increase their personal power in the end.

"No one leaves," King Elbas conveyed as his consciousness expanded. His mental waves could cross the pressure generated by the stars and reach the group outside of their dense influence.

"Every speck of raw laws belongs to me," King Elbas continued. "They will be the foundation for my ascension. I’ve invited you here only to be my audience."

Noah remained speechless. The content of King Elbas’ message stunned him, but what surprised him the most was that the Royal didn’t appear insane when he spoke.

King Elbas was in complete control of his mind. He had said that without having become addicted to the raw laws.
