Chapter 254: Sixth Order?
Chapter 254: Sixth Order?
Noah’s expression was solemn. As expected of a super Large Calamity, it had destroyed far too many worlds.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Noah still hadn’t gained much. He remained incredibly far from that continent. On the black sea, the World Shards he encountered contained at most Fifth Level, and there was no higher level World Shards.
Centered around the Fifth Level World Shards, clusters of World Shards formed across the black sea.
Noah had already seen many of these clusters during his flight.
The territory of each World Shard cluster was incredibly vast, comparable to the size of a Sun. At Noah’s current speed, it would take a long time to fly across even one World Shard cluster.
"Flying like this is too slow."
Noah shook his head. The Remnant World was simply too large. He probably wouldn’t be able to reach that continent before the Human Level Calamity descended.
Increasing his speed would cause him to be discovered by the Disaster Will.
He had "ascended" to the Remnant World though Two World travel rather than through a normal channel. Therefore, his arrival location had little connection to Blue Star. During his flight, Noah also failed to find the race of Demonized Monsters that had previously invaded Blue Star.
This gradually made him lose patience.
Otherwise, he might as well start killing directly.
Noah’s gaze turned toward the Fifth Level World Shard below, which was one and a half time larger than the Moon. A fierce light flashed in his eyes.
"Boom~"
Just as Noah was about to take action, an intense battle suddenly erupted below.
The Demonized Monsters of this World Shard were a type of lion-person. After being demonized, they grew a pair of black fleshy wings on their backs, giving even Second-Order and Third-Order individuals the ability to fly.
At this moment, led by several Fifth-Order expert demonized lion-people and followed by a large number of Fourth-Order demonized lion-people, they were surrounding and attacking several "people."
"Awakeners?"
Noah was startled and immediately recognized that these people were Awakeners.
They were all humanoid beings who looked extremely similar to the Human Race. However, their skin was blue and emitted a metallic sheen. This gave them extremely strong defenses, allowing them to survive despite being besieged by a large number of Demonized Monsters.
However, the strongest among these blue-skinned people was only a Fifth-Order expert. The remaining three were all Fourth-Order. Facing the demonized lion-person group, whose strength far surpassed theirs, they clearly would not last much longer.
"Captain, hurry and leave."
"We can die, but you absolutely cannot. Brothers, let’s fight these Demonized Monsters to the death! We’ll self-destruct and carve out a bloody path for the captain!"
A burly Fourth-Order blue-skinned man revealed a determined look in his eyes. The aura around him immediately became unstable and filled with destructive power.
Just as the burly blue-skinned man charged toward the enemies, preparing to self-destruct and stop them, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
The figure placed a hand on his shoulder and pressed down lightly.
Terrifying mental power spread through his body, forcibly suppressing his self-destruction.
The burly blue-skinned man’s eyes filled with disbelief. He hadn’t expected the other party to stop his self-destruction without harming him in the slightest.
What terrifying mental power.
Probably no Fifth-Order expert in their civilization could achieve such a feat.
However, his eyes soon filled with ecstasy.
"You are also an Awakener."
"That’s great! Did the alliance send you to support us?"
Noah had traveled here on his own this time and did not have the system’s language translation service. Naturally, he couldn’t understand what the burly blue-skinned man was saying.
He waved his hand, signaling the man to step back.
Suppressing the burly blue-skinned man’s self-destruction was not difficult for Noah.
Back in New Sea City, he had once casually used his mental power to support the heavy rain covering the entire city without harming a single flower or blade of grass. With his current Combat Art and mental attributes, accomplishing this now was even easier.
Noah’s sudden appearance immediately made the demonized lion-people tense. They had not expected such an unfathomable figure to appear just as they were about to finish off these intruders.
Compared to the other demonized lion-people, the expressions of the few Fifth-Order expert demonized lion-people changed drastically, and fear appeared in their eyes.
"Sixth-Order."
One Fifth-Order expert demonized lion-person cried out in disbelief.
When Noah suppressed the burly blue-skinned man’s self-destruction earlier, it had clearly felt an overwhelming sense of suppression.
Innate skills were abilities gained as long as one met the awakening conditions, whether they were an Awakener or a Demonized Monster.
Of course, the names of those abilities might differ.
The existence of Rank Suppression made it easy for people to determine whether the other party’s rank was higher than their own.
At first, the Fourth-Order Demonized Lionmen and the blue-skinned people did not think too much about it, since both Fifth-Order experts and Sixth-Order experts could suppress them. The only difference was the degree of suppression.
However, things were different for Fifth-Order experts.
There was only one possibility for someone to exert Rank Suppression on them.
The other party had to be Sixth-Order.
"How is this possible? This is only the Outer Sea, not the Central Continent. Why would there be a Sixth-Order expert here, and a Sixth-Order Awakener at that?"
The Demonized Lionmen immediately fell into panic.
A difference of one rank was like the gap between heaven and earth.
Leaving everything else aside, the difference in attributes alone was tenfold. Unless it was an especially weak Sixth-Order expert, they could easily crush a Fifth-Order expert.
Those capable of fighting above their rank were all geniuses and prodigies.
These Demonized Lionmen were merely ordinary Fifth-Order experts without powerful Combat Arts. Their attributes were only within the normal Fifth-Order range, and they were not even Extraordinary Lifeforms. They had no ability to fight above their rank.
Now that they had suddenly encountered a Sixth-Order expert, how could they not be terrified?
The blue-skinned people, on the other hand, were overjoyed.
