In the sky above the city, the three experts of the monstrous race and the five experts of the human race fought together against Zang Yuan and his generals.
The fight was fierce and lasted for a whole month.
The great battle on the ground had long since ended and the one occurring in the sky was reaching its zenith.
Of the five experts of the human race, only one remained while on the monster side, only the thunder dragon remained.
On the other hand, Zhang Yuan's four demon generals also died, leaving him against the other two alone.
Despite being severely wounded, Zhang Yuan managed to severely wound the thunder dragon before landing a killing blow on the high heaven sect master before falling out of the air straight to the ground, with no strength to continue attacking.
Focusing his sight on the black book floating in the sky, a great determination appeared in Zhang Yuan's eyes.
"Soon, I just have to recover and soon I can make it."
Suddenly, applause rang out as a black-haired young man surrounded by three demons appeared on the scene.
The young man snapped his fingers and the protective barrier around the book was broken before the book appeared in his hands.
"I have to thank you, if it wasn't for your greed I wouldn't have gotten so many high quality corpses."
Snapping his fingers, Noah ordered Li Rong to seal the powers of Zhang Yuan and the unconscious thunder dragon before taking Magna out of the small world inside the coffin.
"Alright boy, a few years ago I promised you that I would get one of the best bodies in this world for you. Although they are far from comparing to Lena's body since they lack special physiques, they are the best I could get.
You can choose the one you want."
Magna looked at the two individuals for a long while before choosing Zhang Yuan.
"Haha! Good choice! Zhang Yuan is extremely strong, and his potential is no slouch.
Noah directly destroyed Zhang Yuan's soul before helping Magna's soul clone possess his body.
He then destroyed the thunder dragon's soul before storing his body in a capsule.
"Alright, let's get out of this place, the real show is about to begin."
Noah and the group moved away from the area about a hundred kilometers before stopping in mid-air.
They watched as a strange blood red matrix that covered the entire city of the flying cloud began to release red rays that turned any body they touched into a blood red liquid before swallowing it.
In the center of the array, the bone clone soared into the sky as all the collected qi and life energy sank into its body.
With a boom, the bone clone's aura reached holy rank 3 peak before a cloud of lightning began to form over its head.
Nine pillars of light focused on his body, bathing him in world energy.
If he made it through this baptism, the clone would officially enter the rank of holy king.
An hour later, the clone's body began to slowly crumble.
Without panicking, the clone took out the blood essence stone and used it to begin healing his body.
A day later, the cloud over his head dissipated as the clone's aura shot up to the first level of the ango holy king.
The clone felt his newfound strength for a while before returning to the space of the magic gourd.
Noah turned to Magna and asked.
"How is the progress going?"
"We have already created a technique that will allow us to absorb world energy to convert it into mana to nourish and enhance our cores.
We are now gathering data from test subjects who have used it and perfecting it.
"Good, you can go now."
Magna nodded and took his clone with him before returning to the small world.
"Well, now that the tong Xuan realm is free of its major powers, there's no one to stop us anymore."
Noah smiled before using the space shuttle to reach the land of the monster race.
After searching for a while, he came to a pond where a small squirrel entered before transforming into a man with monster-like features.
Sensing Noah's aura, the man panicked and ran out of the place.
Noah pulled out a paintbrush and began carving runes around the pond.
When he finished, the ground shook as the entire patch of earth encompassing the pond and several feet below broke away from the ground and began to float in the air.
Pulling out an artifact, Noah threw it into the pond, causing a protective barrier to form around it before sucking the entire pond into his magical gourd.
The pond was called a beast transformation pond and as the name suggests, its function was to transform beasts into a humanoid form.
Beneath the pond, there was a naturally formed matrix formation that was fed directly from a vein in the earth that ran through the ground below.
This was a wondrous creation created naturally, just like the Brokilon tree.
"All I have to do is place it in a vein of the earth and the matrix will start working again."
Having finished here, Noah got on his shuttle and flew to the capital of the demonic realm.
Due to the war, the only demons left in the city were too weak to prevent him from reaching his destination.
Entering the deceased Zhang Yuan's base of operations, the demon god's palace, he flew down a secret passageway until he reached a sealed door that required some kind of key to open.
Pulling out the black book, he embedded it in the wall, causing it to open, revealing an all-white room inside.
Lifting his head, Noah saw a huge flying ship hovering.
Suddenly, a dark aura was released from inside the ship before coalescing, forming the silhouette of the demon god.
The demon god looked at Noah before charging at him, crashing into his chest.
Noah did not resist and let the demon god crash into him, taking him into an illusion in which he showed him his memories of how he fought against the Ossean race, who came to this world from outer space.
All this Noah already knew but still could not skip this process, so he simply let this flashback unfold.
When the flashback ended, the demon god's remaining aura entered his spiritual sea before taking control over the demonic eye of annihilation and beginning to truly merge it with his existence.
As the demon eye merged into his left eye, suddenly something strange happened.
A purple aura came out of his left eye and began to integrate with the golden aura of the demonic eye of annihilation.
Noah noticed this and his face filled with joy.
Sitting cross-legged, he began to actively merge the two auras.
Three months later, a strange aura came out of his left eye.
Now, his purple eye with vertical pupil now became a golden eye with a purple vertical pupil.
"It seems that my evil eye and the demonic eye of annihilation have completely integrated."
Now his left eye not only had spatio-temporal properties but also allowed him to destroy souls.
"Hahahaha! This is magnificent! Who would have thought that something like this would happen?
Now, what should I call it?"
After thinking for a long while, Noah finally came up with a name.
"Since it has spiritual properties and is capable of annihilating souls let's call it the spiritual eye of annihilation!"
...
...
...
"Sigh, I really suck at this naming stuff."
Shaking his head, he looked at the ship that had now been reduced to dust and sighed.
"I wanted to study it but I guess it's out of the question now."
Leaving the place, he sat down on the throne that Zhang Yuan originally sat on before summoning the three demons and the coffin slave.
Noah looked at his three subordinates, two at the second saint rank and one at the third saint rank and ordered them.
"Years ago I promised your race that I would free them and allow them to fight a great battle.
The time I promised you has come.
I want you to conquer the entire Tong Xuan realm.
Cultivation techniques, secret arts, natural resources, alchemy arts and artifact refinement, I want it all sorted and filed.
I give you a maximum of five years.
All three sat with big smiles.
Now that there were practically no holy rank cultivators left in the Tong Xuan realm except for those secluded in secret places, there was no one to stop them anymore.
Noah entered the small world before he began refining the pill needed to break the blockade of this place.
A fortnight later, he handed Li Rong a mid-ranked holy rank pill that he used to ignite an array that caused the entire place to tremble before a large portal opened.
"Brothers! We are finally free!"
The demons began to celebrate, holding a great feast inside the capital of the demonic realm that lasted three full days before they began to spread out for conquest.
Two years later, the entire demonic realm had been conquered and its resources taken.
One particular day, Magna and Lena approached Noah with smiles on their faces as they held a manual.
Noah smiled at the sight of the manual.
"I guess it's finally done."
"Hehe. It took us quite a while but here it is! A manual that can take the magic core up to the equivalent of holy rank and beyond!"
"At the moment we've only theorized about holy rank and above, the most we've gotten to was the equivalent of the transcendent realm."
"That's good enough for me.
I will be in closed-door cultivation during this time.
Remember Lena, you must get your clone up to the third holy rank.
We will not leave this world until my cultivation reaches the king saint rank.
It's a pity that the resources of this world are insufficient, otherwise I would have made your clones reach that level.
We don't know what world we'll end up in next and the more combat strength we have the better."
Shaking his head, Noah stopped thinking about the subject and entered a special cultivation room.
Opening the manual, he memorized it in its entirety before concentrating on his mana core within his heart and circulating the new cultivation technique.
A blue swirl formed on his chest as he began to absorb world energy and convert it into pure mana that began to purify his core.
