Chapter 1647 - 1647. Separation

'What a strange creature,' Noah exclaimed in his mind.

The chaos that had filled that area died out. The mutated laws continued to fight the true meanings inside Heaven and Earth's system, but they began to lose ground without the Devil spreading chaotic laws.

Those battles usually resulted in mutual destruction. Entire chunks of the floating boulders fell apart, and pieces of the layer made of dense air dispersed.

The dark cloud vanished now that the Devil was no more. Heaven and Earth wouldn't bother to punish the laws that had turned rogue. They saved their energy and let the world pay the price for that battle.

The area slowly reached a new harmony. Heaven and Earth's laws couldn't destroy all the mutated true meanings, but they managed to remove the rebelling will.

Part of the mutated laws didn't go back to their previous nature but only stopped fighting Heaven and Earth. Some boulders continued to float through the sky, air covered the ground, and small pools filled the sky.

'It seems that I can't take the easy path to obtain this power,' Noah sighed in his mind after reviewing what had happened when he had activated Supreme Thief's technique.

In theory, Supreme Thief's technique could steal any ability as long as its owner wasn't worthy of that power. Noah even firmly believed that he would eventually learn to wield those chaotic laws.

The technique had all the right cards to go smoothly, but it failed anyway. Yet, Noah had managed to understand something about those chaotic laws from the procedure. He had sensed that a massive will filled their fabric and guided their actions.

The owner of that will was quite clear. Noah had never sensed something so massive from a single living being. He had touched the other world's will while Supreme Thief's technique tried to steal that ability.

'I guess the problem isn't with Supreme Thief's technique,' Noah eventually concluded. 'I simply can't endure the will that would flow inside me.'

That outcome left Noah slightly disappointed, but he couldn't ignore his joyous mood. He had learnt a lot about the Devils during that short battle, and he had even found new projects to pursue.

Noah's abilities had been the same for a while by then. It was hard to improve from his current state, especially since he had spent a lot of time perfecting his battle style.

He also lacked proper sources of inspiration. Noah was in the eighth rank, so external techniques couldn't help his existence too much. Yet, the mission had already given him multiple ideas on how to improve.

The Space Hounds had opened the path for multiple improvements. Noah wanted to understand their innate ability to make his movement techniques reach new heights. Moreover, those creatures could allow him to create his dark version of space and add it to the dark world.

The Devil had shown Noah that it was possible to develop immunity to Heaven and Earth's laws. Those creatures were inherently different from every other living being on the cultivation journey. Still, Noah believed that he could create weaker versions of that ability if it turned out to be incompatible with his existence.

Then, Noah still had to improve his singularities. Sword Saint had shown him a path, but he had yet to understand how to reach that realm.

Having so much to do reinvigorated Noah. He could improve in many ways, and that sensation made him feel elated. He had yet to hit the peak of his potential. His law could still expand and encompass other fields.

"That was a bit reckless," Wilfred commented while nearing Noah. "You didn't know anything about your opponent."
