Birth of the Demonic Sword

Chapter 1596 1596. White

Noah was a prisoner, and his companions weren’t any better. However, the poor control over the battles gave them the chance to seize a few benefits.

June and the others didn’t actively join the assault. They had no reason to fight rank 7 cultivators when they had a swarm of rank 8 bees battling on the frontlines.

The same went for Luke and his two companions. They could exploit the chaos of the battlefield to seize the many resources hidden inside the city.

Jordan and Divine Demon had done the same after Noah killed the second rank 8 expert. The battle had lasted a little more than a few minutes, but Noah’s team had greatly benefitted from that victory.

Noah was happy as long as he continued to gather resources. Cultivators provided far more nutrients than magical beasts due to their dantian, so they were perfect targets.

Solma city wasn’t as important as Vagona city or other larger settlements. However, it had still existed for eras since it was far from the border with the magical beasts’ domain. Yet, a few minutes had been enough to turn it into a pile of bloodied ruins.

The bees gathered didn’t stop at the rank 7 cultivators. They began to seize the various debris across the city and send them into the giant. After all, every building in the Immortal Lands featured valuable materials.

Noah and the others helped in the process, even if they had different motives. They did their best to uncover every deposit or inscribed container to seize valuable resources while the bees were busy prioritizing their queen’s well-being.

Cleaning the entire city took a bit. The battle had been far shorter in comparison. Still, the army soon set off to travel toward the next settlement.

Luke had memorized the entirety of the human domain throughout the years, so he was a perfect guide. He led the titan toward a new settlement, even if he often stopped to clear packs of magical beasts.

Radiant Eyes had been clear. She needed energy, and those magical beasts could provide it. It didn’t make any sense to avoid them only because they weren’t the perfect target for the rank 9 existence.

The bees seemed to have similar thoughts since they always followed Luke inside the wild regions. Noah and the others joined those battles, but they couldn’t enjoy them with two upper tier specimens fighting with them.

Easy fights provided a limited number of benefits, especially for battle-oriented existences. June suffered more than anyone else in the group since her laws wanted her to go all-out often.

The army eventually reached another small city, and Noah had to witness the same one-sided battle again. That settlement also had two rank 8 cultivators, but he could seize only one dantian since the bees had grown smarter after the first assault.

Noah didn’t manage to fight on his own at that time. A middle tier bee had flown toward him as soon as he attacked the two leaders. He had to cover the area with flames to pretend that killing his target had been an accident.

Radiant Eyes didn’t speak anymore. She was completely immersed in her transformation and only required more energy. The two upper tier bees were in charge of the army, even if they needed Noah’s group to point the way.

Luke became a guide that led the army across the human domain. The group attacked cities, mansions, and any settlement. They didn’t even spare the many magical beasts met along the way.

’These cowards didn’t hesitate for a second before sending a Tribulation against me,’ Noah cursed in his mind after completing his seventh battle. ’Yet, they let an all-devouring army led by a rank 9 cultivatior roam freely through the human domain. Dammit! Don’t tell me that I really have to rely on Heaven and Earth for this crisis.’

Noah liked his current situation, but he didn’t accept his lack of a solution. Escaping from a rank 9 existence was simply impossible at his current level. He had to rely on external powers, but that was also an issue.

’I don’t believe that the human domain will keep ignoring this threat,’ Noah thought while the army resumed their endless advance. ’They have to do something at some point.’

Noah’s guesses didn’t come true even after his twelfth attack. He had also failed to seize any dantian during the battle since the bees reached the escaping experts before him.

The assault didn’t seem able to end, but that wasn’t a surprise. Radiant Eyes had two upper tier specimens in her army. The experts who could face that threat were deep into the Outer Lands.

Noah relied on many tricks to keep seizing dantians and valuable resources. He used Duanlong to absorb all the energy lingering on the battlefield. He deployed the dark world to block the bees’ vision and have some time alone with his opponents.

His tricks didn’t stop there. Noah used Snore at times to fill the energy with violent dark matter, even if part of that power was simple higher energy that didn’t carry the snake’s destructive power.

The constant assault almost prevented Noah and the others from cultivating, but Jordan and Noah had fewer problems compared to their companions.

Noah and Jordan could use those battles to improve their bodies since they only needed nutrients. Instead, the others had to find free moments during the assault to cultivate a little.

Neither of those experts dared to touch the golem’s skin. They were too afraid that Radiant Eyes would label them as food and absorb them.

The experts had to find other places where to cultivate, and time was also an issue. The army moved quite quickly, so they couldn’t build training areas between a fight and the other.

"Fine!" Noah transmitted through his consciousness. "Contact Heaven and Earth. I’ve had enough of this situation."

"I have tried to do that for a while," Luke replied through his mental waves. "My methods are useless. We must go to the secret location, but I don’t know where it is!"

"I guess it’s time for you to contact your old superiors," Noah replied. "This situation is almost impossible to bear. Tell Heaven and Earth to do something useful this time around."

"I refuse," Luke promptly transmitted. "This situation isn’t too bad. We get free resources and countless inscribed items. I think you should accept your new condition."

"You sure like to give up," Noah commented before putting his worries aside.

Noah couldn’t do anything to change his situation at his current power. The mindless destruction continued, and Radiant Eyes grew stronger inside the giant.

More bees also started to come out of the giant. It seemed that Radiant Eyes didn’t stop giving birth to magical beasts during her transformation. Her mountain would use all the leftover energy and use it to create new underlings.

The battles continued. The army had destroyed more than forty mansions and cities by then, but their gains had started to decrease. The various organization had understood the nature of the threat by then, and they had ordered a full retreat.

That wasn’t a permanent solution since the organizations didn’t have many regions at their disposal. They had the magical beasts’ domain on one side and the Outer Lands on the others. Enemies surrounded them.

A change eventually happened during that endless invasion. The army was taking care of a magical beasts’ pack in one of the wild regions when a flash of white light spread through the sky and blinded both Noah’s team and the bees.

When the light dispersed, the army could see that a single human figure had appeared on the ground. The man was in the middle of a fuming cavity, but the smoke twisted and transformed under his influence.

Then, a heavy aura spread through the nearby regions and landed on the army. Noah’s team barely had the time to hide behind the golem before a catastrophe unfolded in their vision. All the rank 7 bees died instantly, and the same went for many creatures in the eighth rank.
