Chapter 931 931. Beas

Noah hadn't seen Icy Cascade since Chasing Demon's mission when he had to find the remains of the Demon sects. She had been a rank 4 cultivator in the gaseous stage back then, but she had improved in those years. She was now in the solid stage of the fourth rank.

That growth wasn't spectacular when compared to Noah or the other talents of his generation, but the fact that icy Cascade didn't stop improving showed that she had some potential.

After all, only a complete stop in the growth could lead to the stagnation of the centers of power. There was no problem with cultivators who had slow but steady improvements.

More heroic cultivators appeared behind her. They all wore flashy inscribed armors that shone with a dark-red color and stepped forward while glancing at the battlefield with stern expressions.

Then, their focus went on the heroic cultivators of the invading forces on the other side of that region. It was evident that the Empire was ready to take those battles more seriously now that the attackers were nearing the borders of its domain.

"They are the Wardens," Elder Ingrid said when she saw those heroic cultivators. She was aware of the force tasted to defend the Empire's borders since she had handled the Lutren nation for quite some time.

Noah knew about that force too, but he didn't expect that the Empire still had so many powerful cultivators in its ranks.

There were a dozen rank 5 cultivators among those reinforcements and more than fifty soldiers in the fourth rank. Also, Noah didn't see any of them in the battles in the new continent. That meant that they had spent all those years in those areas.

'I shouldn't expect any less by the Empire,' Noah thought as he straightened up his posture.

The Empire was an organization created by a god who had lived for more than fifty thousand years. It had been able to produce two powerhouses, and one of them had even ascended!

The fact that its number of powerful assets appeared endless didn't come as a shocking surprise for Noah. Still, he had to admit that the Empire was revealing itself as a formidable opponent.

Losing the new continent wasn't enough. The most powerful organizations in the entirety of those Mortal Lands attacking it, but it was still capable of holding its ground.

No matter
