Noahs flesh burnt as he kept his arm inside the scarlet sun. The black hole reinforced his limb with arrays of dark matter, and the parasite also did its best to help. However, the womans spell was too strong for his abilities when they lacked the empowerment of his ambition.
Still, Noah didnt care about that pain. His focus was on his creation. His ambition empowered that feature of his existence and let it seep inside the spells fabric.
Noah didnt want to apply simple mutations. The mere empowerment driven by his ambition wasnt enough in that situation. He d.e.s.i.r.ed to create something that could shatter his opponents faith.
A few tongues of flames at the center of the sun started to abandon their scarlet color and gain dark shades. They didnt change shape, but the aura that they radiated transformed completely.
The cultivators law wanted to illuminate, and Noah didnt remove that feature. Yet, he tampered with the true meaning behind that intention. Light didnt need to be bright. Darkness could reveal far more if handled correctly.
Noahs knowledge about stars and black holes flowed inside the scarlet sun as his creation burst inside the spell. The black flames started to spread their influence and taint the rest of the fire contained inside the ability.
The cultivator snorted when she noticed that event. She was already aware of Noahs abilities. That transformation didnt manage to surprise her.
The woman quickly prepared herself to launch the small sun in her other palm, but her eyes suddenly widened when the first dark glow spread through the world.
The sun had yet to turn completely black, but some tainted flames had appeared on its edges. That fire immediately spread a dark glow through the white sky, and its radiance cleared part of Heaven and Earths laws to make room for other true meanings.
The cultivator fell in a daze as new lifeforms appeared inside the areas illuminated by the dark light. Noah was showing her a version of her spell that could give birth to light. Her flames could create living beings where Heaven and Earth didnt manage to shine.
The dark flames expanded until they took complete control of the sun. The black light began to illuminate the entire battlefield at that point, and more lifeforms appeared due to that event.
The lifeforms were simple beings born from random matter. Part of the air turned into parasite-like creatures that expanded through the sky as they devoured the energy around them. Instead, the boulders on the shattered ground grew a mouth and tiny legs before developing a suction force.
"Isnt this the reason behind the light?" Noah asked as he retracted his charred arm from the black sun. "Dont you want to illuminate to give life?"
The woman didnt answer. The scene had captured her entire attention. She almost couldnt believe how the black sun had to get rid of Heaven and Earths influence to generate life.
Heaven and Earth didnt like the black sun. Its influence had begun to spread too far, so a Tribulation amassed in the sky.
Black clouds gathered high in the sky and began to acc.u.mulate enough power to deal with the sun. The spell had retained the cultivators level even after Noahs creation had transformed it, so the punishment had to suit solid stage experts.
"See?" Noah sneered. "Heaven and Earth dont like when someone finds a different solution. I might be able to create only to destroy, but the rulers restrictions apply to all of us. You could be free to generate life that doesnt devour the world, but they would suppress it anyway."
The clouds eventually released their massive lightning bolt. A raging attack that carried Heaven and Earths whiteness fell toward the black sun, but a second star suddenly appeared on its path.
A scarlet sun expanded above the black star and stopped the lightning bolt. The red flames shot everywhere in the environment after Heaven and Earths attack discharged its energy. Flares flew through the battlefield, but the mutated ability survived.
Noah glanced at the woman. She appeared surprised about her own actions. She had instinctively thrown her second sun toward the lightning bolt, but she had yet to realize what she had done.
"I bet it felt good," Noah laughed as he raised his charred arm.
Dark matter spread from his limb and covered the battlefield. The various lifeforms that had begun to spread through the world fell prey to the higher energy and provided nutrients to Noah.
A few patches of burnt skin healed, but Noah could sense that the energy contained in the sky wouldnt be able to fix his injuries. Still, leaving those lifeforms around was useless since Heaven and Earth could easily take care of them.
Noah disregarded his injuries and focused on the black sun once his dark matter returned inside his figure. He placed both palms on the array of black flames, and the star started to shrink.
The black sun became a small fiery sphere that could fit inside Noahs palm. He inspected it for a few seconds before throwing it toward his opponent.
The woman decided to catch the sphere when she sensed the lack of danger from its structure. The event forced her to realize the nature of her recent actions. She had actually committed an act of treason against Heaven and Earth.
Traces of panic appeared on her face, but the dark light radiated by the small sun brought some comfort to her feelings. She had the answers in her grasp. Noah had just proven that she didnt need Heaven and Earth to obtain them.
"You cant force a world to advance as a whole when you have different existences in it," Noah explained while crossing his legs and floating in the sky. "Why should Heaven and Earth be the only ones to evolve? Why should they be the only ones in charge of the light?"
Noahs words were sharp blades that stabbed the last pieces of faith that still existed inside his opponent. The woman didnt know what to say anymore. She only brought the black sun closer to her c.h.e.s.t and held it with care.
"I dont agree with your path," The woman eventually said, "But you might be right, on a few topics at least. My name is Cynthia. You can look for me in the future."
Noah nodded. He had initially wanted a battle, but his instincts had the priority, and the d.e.s.i.r.e to transform the scarlet sun had come from his very existence. Moreover, taking pawns away from Heaven and Earths system was a double victory since it removed an opponent and added an ally.
The woman approached the golden walls to leave the area, and Noah turned toward King Elbas to make him open a path in those defenses. However, a series of white currents suddenly came out of the shattered ground and flew toward the cultivator.
The water was unstoppable. Noah tried to cut it, but it turned ethereal when his slash crossed its fabric. He couldnt stop it from reaching his previous opponent.
