Chapter 1774 - 1774. Roars

A deep growl resounded in Noah's mind after the mental connection formed. The dragon didn't give voice to the usual shrill cry of a newborn. Its tone sounded deep and ancient, as if the creature had taken a nap that had lasted for eras.

A torrent of emotions flowed inside Noah's mind and made his mental walls shake. Those feelings felt familiar and synchronized with his existence after they filled the insides of his ethereal center of power.

Noah knew those emotions. They carried the entirety of his cultivation journey and d.e.s.i.r.es. The massive six-armed dragon was an embodiment of his existence, just like the Demonic Sword, but its character was developing past its sources to generate something completely separate.

The intensity of the internal pressure decreased as the dragon's personality took form. Random flares of hunger, confusion, astonishment, happiness, and pride surged in Noah's mind, but they quickly waned when they found similar feelings inside the center of power.

The dragon had yet to acquire complete clarity, but its instincts knew that Noah wasn't an enemy. He was more than a father. He was the very reason behind its existence.

'Welcome to the Immortal Lands,' Noah transmitted through the mental connection as he quickly came up with a name. 'Your name shall be Shafu, devourer and creator of worlds.'

'Shaaafuuu,' The dragon transmitted inside Noah's mind through a growl that made his entire mental sea shake.

Noah's sea of consciousness slowly adapted to the echo of Shafu's deep voice and grew immune to their dangerous properties. The creature's mental pressure soon became nothing more than a heavy weight placed inside his mind that pushed his mental walls to expand.

The dragon retracted its massive head and pointed its reptilian eyes at Noah. Its eyelids were bigger than him, but it could still see the stark resemblance of their vertical pupils.

Shafu had inherited a lot from Noah's existence, but its separate personality was transforming those feelings and d.e.s.i.r.es into something unique. Yet, their eyes were identical.

'You are going to roar, aren't you?' Noah laughed through his mental connection when the dragon raised its head toward the sky and opened its huge mouth.

Cracks opened on the black landmass as the dragon gave voice to a deafening roar that spread soundwaves everywhere in the environment. The sheer power contained in that simple cry could generate catastrophic events, but Noah only laughed when that noise made his whole body tremble.

Snore, Duanlong, Night, and the Demonic Sword instinctively came out of Noah's body and gave voice to different roars to announce the arrival of a new companion. Even Noah lifted his head and joined that event. The sky had to know that he had developed a new weapon.

The event scared the existences who had lived near the region in the last years. King Elbas had warned everyone about the dangerousness of Noah's experiments, so no one had dared to be too close to the immense dark world. Yet, the threatening soundwaves and the massive cracks that spread through the landmass forced them to intervene.

A few rank 8 cultivators flew toward Noah's position, but their expressions froze when they understood that the source of the destruction was a huge winged mountain with six arms.

The sheer power generated by that creature didn't help their determination either. The dragon stood at the very peak of the eighth rank. It was a monster only one step away from the apex of the cultivation journey.

Noah had to go all-out to achieve that result, and the outcome didn't disappoint him. His ambition was already able to bring him to the peak of the eighth rank if he focused it on a single feature. The dragon had simply mana
