According to the manual, the first level of the technique was to use world energy to purify his body of any impurities before starting to do the same with his mana core.
Because his body was already purified, Noah skipped this step and went straight to purifying his mana core.
Three days later, black smoke came out of his mouth.
Looking at his core that had turned from its original grayish color to a deep red color, Noah smiled.
He had entered the first level, the equivalent of an initial elemental.
Wasting no time, he continued to cultivate.
On the fifth day, his core turned from a red to an orange color.
On the tenth day, his core turned bright yellow.
On the thirtieth day, his nucleus turned light green.
Three months later, a burst of dark green aura came out of his body as he entered the fifth rank of the cultivation technique.
Another six months later, the green color of his core became deeper and deeper, approaching a cyan color.
Feeling his new aura, Noah soared into the sky before shooting off towards a distant mountain before sitting cross-legged.
Today was finally the day he would finally advance to saint rank.
Letting go of suppressing his aura, he let it flow.
Dark clouds gathered around him.
With his eyes steady, he blasted his peak transcendent aura and began his advance.
A pillar of world energy crashed into his body, providing him with the energy for the advance.
Noah's eyes burned as he blasted the yang energy of his dantian, the yin energy of his golden skeleton, the stellar energy stored in his flesh and the mana within his core before causing them to collide.
A tremendous reaction occurred within his body as the four forces collided, destroying everything in their path.
Despite the immense pain, Noah's gaze was wild and he did not stop making the four forces collide.
Despite the energy provided by the first pillar of energy, Noah's body still demanded more.
Pulling out a holy crystal, he swallowed it straight before it turned into pure energy that replenished his body.
A second pillar of world energy crashed into his body five minutes later.
As time passed, the raging energies that constantly collided began to generate small sparks of a strange energy.
At the same time, his real name, which had been asleep all this time, reacted to these energy sparks and began to modify them.
As insignificant as the amount of these sparks was, their size began to grow with each collision.
A third pillar of energy smashed into Noah's body.
Feeling the severe injuries to his body, he pulled out several myriad crystals of medicine and swallowed them straight down before his body began to recover.
Half an hour later the strange energy began to slowly spread.
As time went on, more and more pillars of world energy crashed into Noah's body.
The strange energy that was generated from the collision of the four energies began to clump together after reaching a certain amount before turning into a small purple flame.
Noah felt as if his whole body was going to burn when that small flame appeared.
Just as the last pillar of energy hit his body, the purple flame inside his body seemed to come to life when it transformed into a bottomless hole that began to suck in the world energy, star energy and the other energies inside his body before exploding, transforming into a new purple energy that traveled through his meridian system and his magickal vein system, breaking the blockages between the two and reaching his two energy cores, filling them with this new energy.
The mana core took on a cyan color with a purple halo around it while his golden dantian became a golden purple color.
The star energy he had stored in his body was swallowed up completely but he couldn't care less.
He focused on this new energy coursing through his body and clenched his fist as he felt it was of a quality he had never seen before.
This new energy had the harmony between yin and yang that only something like mana, which was a completely neutral energy could harmonize, although his real name also had some of the merit.
At the same time, Noah felt that with this new energy he could have incredible control over space.
Suddenly, the pillars of world energy dissipated as a giant purple swirl formed around his body.
He had officially entered holy rank with both energy centers.
Smiling broadly, Noah tested an ability that entered his mind once he finished his advancement.
A purple fire covered his entire body, transforming him into a flaming humanoid.
This new ability allowed him to deploy the full power of his energies, although it required a huge consumption of energy, it made his control over this energy become almost instinctive, allowing him to use both spells and martial arts simultaneously.
But beyond that, what excited Noah the most was the special ability that this transformation granted him.
An ability born from the star power he swallowed earlier.
Noah's flaming body suddenly dissipated, turning into purple flames that appeared a hundred kilometers away.
While it might seem similar to the ability he had previously that allowed him to open small tears in space to transport himself, this ability allowed him to blink within physical space, without the need to enter another layer of space.
Smiling broadly, he activated the demon god transformation, causing black flames to appear on the surface of the purple flames.
Looking at the mountain in front of him, he let out a punch, pulverizing the mountain peak.
"Hahahaha! Interesting! Very interesting! I will call this new energy as amalgam energy and this transformation as amalgam embodiment!"
As he laughed, he deactivated his two transformations before descending from the sky.
"My lord! Congratulations on your breakthrough!"
"Congratulations to the lord on his breakthrough!"
"Get up! How goes the conquest?"
"My lord, we have taken control over the monster race and will soon march against the forces of the human race."
"You have done well.
When you are done with this mission I will reward you properly."
Li Rong blushed when Noah whispered those words in her ear.
Noah returned to his cultivation room and examined his spiritual sea.
The large ball of soul essence he collected during the war was gone, having consumed it during his breakthrough.
Turning his attention to the rank five soul-warming lotus, he rubbed his chin.
"I should nourish it while I'm at it."
Gathering the soul-nourishing treasures gathered by the demons and drawing from his own resources, he began refining soul-nourishing pills.
Six months later, he swallowed ten pills of holy rank and directed all his power to the soul-warming lotus.
The lotus absorbed all the incoming medicinal essence before it began to tremble.
A new color formed on the lotus, becoming a six-colored lotus.
The transformation did not end there as a seventh color began to form.
Although it was very faint, almost undetectable, it was there.
Emerging from his spiritual sea, Noah returned to take a large amount of medicinal plants before continuing his alchemy.
He didn't finish refining until a year had passed.
Entering a state of cultivation again, he began to absorb the pills and continually work his way up.
In two years, his cultivation skyrocketed from the first to the third holy rank in his dantian cultivation.
Coming out of his cultivation chamber, he went to see how things were going with the ancient demonic clan.
"Master!
We have conquered all the human race territories of the Tong Xuan realm, everything we got is in the castle vault and waiting for you to check them out."
"Yes yes. Very well done! But you know, cultivating for so long without any fun is a bit boring for me."
Without waiting for Li Rou to say anything, Noah dragged her into his room and stayed inside for a whole month.
When he came out, he learned that Lena's clone officially reached saint rank.
"That's good."
Noah nodded with satisfaction before entering the vault and seeing the immense amount of natural resources the demons gathered after plundering the various territories of the Tong Xuan kingdom.
Waving his hand, he stuffed them all into his magic gourd before summoning Lena's clone to help him refine all those materials.
Five years later, Noah and Lena's clone had accumulated a mountain of pills, all of them of saint rank.
"We should start cultivating, with half of these resources you should reach the maximum level 3 of saint rank."
Leaving Lena to cultivate, Noah took half of the cultivation pills and all of the soul nourishing pills and entered his cultivation room.
Two months later, he had consumed all the soul nourishing pills but barely made the seventh color of the soul warming lotus become a little deeper.
Scratching his head in frustration, he stopped thinking about the soul-warming lotus and focused on increasing the level of his mana core.
He spent over a year consuming the various pills and nourishing it until it finally reached a deep cyan color that was the equivalent of the maximum saint rank.
He then spent another year increasing the cultivation of his dantian also to the maximum saint rank.
Now that he had reached this level, he soared into the sky before taking out his bone clone.
The two sat cross-legged before the clone began to transfer all of its energy to Noah.
Noah used the heaven devourer ability and began to devour all the energy that came to him, splitting it between his two cores.
A dark cloud began to form over his head but Noah didn't care. He continued to devour the energy sent to him by his clone without stopping and taking his energy cores to the next level.
His heterochromatic eyes glowed with purple flames as he circled his two cultivation techniques to the limit, devouring every bit of energy.
Noah's clone began to slowly lose vitality and his aura began to collapse.
A few minutes later, there was nothing left but a skeleton, which after sending the last trace of energy, turned into dust that scattered into the air.
Noah retrieved the clone's soul fragment and fused it back to himself.
An explosion of purple flames occurred at that instant and his breakthrough to the holy king rank began to unleash.
Half a day later, the world baptism cloud dissipated and Noah deactivated his two transformations before the aura of a holy king exploded from his body.
His mana core turned a blue color and his dantian turned an even brighter and purer golden color than before.
Entering the castle vault, Noah stuffed the various natural resources, cultivation techniques and refining materials inside before closing the place.
Later, he met with Magna and Lena and put them in their respective cryogenic capsules before storing their clones as well.
At the moche, he summoned Li Rong to his room and spent a whole week with her before going out and gathering all the top brass of the ancient demon clan.
"Everyone! I have something to report to you!
Because my cultivation level has reached this level, neither the world energy nor the resources of the Tong Xuan realm can satisfy my needs.
I have decided to explore the cosmos in search of my own opportunities.
I will leave Li Rong and the elders to manage the demon clan during my absence.
It should be made clear that sooner or later I will return to the Tong Xuan realm so by then I hope that the ancient demonic clan will have prospered."
Finished speaking, Noah didn't wait for anyone's opinion and soared straight up into the sky.
After reaching a certain height, he pulled out the dimensional pistol and fired into the air, opening a portal that would take him to a new unknown universe.
