Chapter 71 - Chapter 71: Eldrtch Path Of Power

Noah took out two gigantic storage capsules and filled them with the first layer, which consisted of a green medicinal liquid.

He filled two capsules of 300L each, obtaining approximately six hundred liters of medicinal liquid.

Lugo took out a third capsule in which he kept the liquid that made up the second layer, which was a thicker and more concentrated medicinal liquid that resembled condensed milk.

Finally, he took out a chest in which he kept some crystals formed by solidified medicinal essence, being these the most valuable part of the well.

When there was nothing left in the well, the walls that made up the pocket space lit up with a large number of runes before they entered Noah's mind.

A wealth of information about the alchemical path of this world entered his mind.

Noah took a moment to analyze the information and etch a copy into a memory crystal before breaking out of the pocket space, returning to the myriad pool of medicine.

On his way out, he came upon the scene of a battle occurring in the sky.

"Looks like that old man took my warning seriously and managed to evacuate the alchemists before the attack by the demon lord's forces occurred."

Soaring into the sky, Noah stood next to Xia Ning Chang and took out the memory crystal.

"With this, the deal between your master and me has been fulfilled.

To access the information it contains you only need to send your divine sense into the crystal.

Xia Ning Chang hesitated for a moment before doing as he asked, injecting a strand of her divine sense into the crystal.

A torrent of information assaulted his mind, and along with the information came a terrible headache.

Xia Ning Chang endured it and absorbed all the information into her mind before regaining her composure.

Old Xiao approached Noah and thanked him sincerely.

"I don't know where you got that information from but I have to thank you, thanks to your early warning we managed to evacuate most of our people before the attack started."

"It's the least I could do, but now the important thing is how we're going to deal with these guys."

"I've called a couple of friends, they should be here soon."

As Old Xiao spoke, two men in the Immortal Ascension realm arrived on the scene and joined the battle, helping Old Meng who had so far been fighting the demonic cultivators by himself.

Seeing that the problem would soon be solved, Noah decided not to stay here anymore, if the experts of the immortal ascension realm wanted to capture him to find out where he got the information of the demonic forces' attack then he would have no way to resist.

When he noticed that no one was paying attention to him, Noah opened a portal and teleported back to his room at the peak of the hidden cloud before picking up his two pets and flying to Old Xiao's refining room, looting the refining materials and the various furnaces before teleporting to his lair in the forest.

Old Xiao turned to talk to him but he was nowhere to be found.

Shaking his head, Old Xiao could only sigh before focusing on the battle in the sky.

Noah first checked the status of the yin-yang ginseng before handing him a few drops of myriad medicine liquid before sitting down to cultivate.

At midnight, he teleported to the High Heaven Pavilion before turning into a fly and flying off to a specific house that was surrounded by disciples guarding the surroundings.

Noah climbed through a window and observed a bedridden old man who appeared to be at death's door.

Noah reached behind the guard before transforming into his original form and striking him in the back of the head, knocking him unconscious.

Taking out a medicine myriad essence crystal, Noah gave it to the old man to drink before teleporting into the cave in coiling dragon stream.

Lin Tai Xu suddenly stood up when he felt a warm energy flowing through his stomach.

Without wasting any time, he sat in a meditative position and circulated that energy through his body to heal his wounds.

Looking at the open window and the unconscious guard, Lin Tai Xu went into deep thought.

Back in the coiling dragon stream cave, Noah swooped down into the depths of the crevice while using the magic staff to protect himself with his barrier.

He quickly reached his target, a corpse emanating a large amount of demonic energy with a golden chain around its neck.

Noah summoned the demonic spirit and told it to get ready before removing the golden chain from the corpse's neck, causing it to explode with demonic energy.

The demonic spirit wasted no time and directly possessed that the soulless body.

"Stay here and absorb the surrounding demonic qi, I will come for you in a few months."

Leaving a last command, Noah explored the place for a while, collecting a few drops of blood and hairs from the floor and walls before teleporting back to his lair to continue his cultivation.

Taking out one of the alchemy furnaces he stole from his so-called master, Noah took out a bunch of blood beads, medicinal herbs and spiritual fruits and started refining pills.

Due to his heritage, he had the theoretical knowledge of a high-grade alchemist but since he never practiced this kind of alchemy before, his first results were a total disaster.

Several hours later, he finally managed to create his first pill.

Finally getting the hang of it, his improvement got faster and faster.

A week later, he stopped making pills and started cultivating using the same pills he created, reaching the limit of the ninth stage of the true element.

With a slight push, he could move to the next rank.

Teleporting to the distant crimson island, he sat on the highest mountain and began his advance.

A purple mist rose from his body as dark clouds swirled above his head.

Clearing his mind of any thoughts, Noah completely released his aura, causing a demonic energy that alternated between yin and yang attributes to emanate from his body.

A golden thunderclap fell from the sky and crashed into his body but Noah's magic shield repelled it without any problems.

A second thunderbolt struck a few seconds later with a much greater force than the previous one, shattering the magic shield into pieces before crashing into his armor.

The third bolt of lightning shattered the armor into pieces and now Noah had to defend against the fourth and final bolt of lightning with his physical body.

Noah's purple demonic aura had formed a whirlpool around him that grew with each passing second.

Noah clenched his teeth tightly as he felt the last bolt of lightning run through his body, shaking him completely and causing him to vomit blood.

Fortunately, he managed to resist and suddenly felt it.

Inside his soul, a mass of mist condensed to the limit before exploding, forming a strange dimension with an endless sea inside.

The three objects he kept previously and the soul palace also reappeared, floating above the endless sea.

The storm cloud dissipated along with the tornado of demonic energy and Noah, who was floating cross-legged in the air, sat down on the ground to check his body now that he had moved on.

"My physical strength has increased greatly but the important thing is my dantian and spiritual sea."

After a couple of hours of rest, he took out the black book and began to transfer qi and spiritual energy to it to break the seal on its last page.

After a few hours, the seal broke and a closed eye materialized above the book.

Noah touched the eye and it went directly into his spiritual sea, placing itself on the soul-warming lotus.

"Finally, with this I can finally get rid of that guy."

Pulling out of his magic gourd a crystal with a bunch of golden seals on its surface, Noah began to refine it to send it to his spiritual sea.

Unlike the other objects that entered immediately, this crystal took two full days of constant refining to finally enter his spirit sea.

Grasping the crystal, Noah's astral projection sat cross-legged on the soul-warming lotus that inside the spirit sea was the size of a small island and began to remove the seals one by one.

When he removed the last seal, Noah stepped back quickly as he dropped the crystal.

The crystal exploded into pieces and a black mist poured out from within, condensing into an amorphous mass of tentacils that coiled around each other in an eerie manner.

"This place... Hahahahahahahaha! This soul! This body! Those two insignificant insects, just wait! I, the great Dagon, will make them pay for the insolence of trying to seal me!"

While Dagon was still lost in his euphoria, the closed eye on the soul-warming lotus opened and fixed on him.

A sense of doom assailed Dagon, startling him.

Before he could even react, the floating eye released a beam of golden light that exterminated his spirit body, leaving only a gray ball of energy.

Noah approached the ball of energy and absorbed it directly.

A stream of information entered his mind.

It contained most of Dagon's memories but most importantly, it contained information about his path of power. The Eldrtch path of power.

Noah took a moment to analyze this new path of power before frowning.

The eldrtch path didn't focus on energy like the path of cultivation or soul like the path of mages or the path of gods, what the eldrtch cultivated was their willpower.

"It is similar to the way of the gods, an eldrtch must harmonize with a concept and develop it."

The way of the gods might sound more powerful as it allowed its practitioner to not only understand the concepts but also the laws but far from it, the way of the gods was by far the weakest and most restrictive it had.

To harmonize with a concept, an eldrtch needs to first develop a spark of will before establishing a ritual to connect with the sleeping Azatoth and undergo the baptism of his will to feed that spark, then an eldrtch would have to spread his influence throughout the universe, making billions of beings worship and fear him, providing him with power from negative emotions to feed his fire of will born from that spark baptized by the will of Azatoth.

The lack of this baptism prevented Dagon from awakening his fire of will and advancing on this path so he had no choice but to try to take the path of the gods.

In other words, for an eldrtch to evolve he needs to feed on the emotions of the other weaker beings.

Noah noticed that most of Dagon's memories were fuzzy and there were virtually no memories explaining how he came to the Witcher world.

Noah was thankful that the memories about the Eldrtch path of power and the wide variety of spells that came with it were still intact.

"While I'm no saint, I'm also not a monster who would subdue an entire innocent planet to feed my willpower.

Not to mention that all eldrtch are deranged in some way or another.

I guess I'll put this path of power aside until later when I get enough data to create a similar one without all these disadvantages."
