1976. Sky
Noah flew back toward the floating lake after his battle was over. Many thoughts filled his mind as he inspected the nature of his power.
Night had advanced into the ninth rank, but his existence contained far more. Snore, Shafu, Duanlong, the parasite, the cursed sword, the Demonic Sword, his body, and his dantian were still in the eighth rank, and he feared that all of them would require a different feat to advance.
The sole thought that a single existence would have to go through so many breakthroughs only to reach the ninth rank would make many experts despair. However, Noah had long since accepted that his requirements were insane, and his recent project with the ethereal darkness had only stretched them further.
