Chapter 251 - A Trace Of A Cosmic Treasure! I
Noah's destiny churned as it warned him of danger, but it was too late as the enemy he came across was simply too outrageous!
With shining crimson hair and eyes, a fair looking man in his early 20s appeared before Noah as he released an abundant aura of power, his chest showing hundreds of thousands of Universes shining brightly.
Noah himself had only managed to forge 68 Universes at this moment after utilizing all the Universal Cores he had stacked up, and he had turned over half of them into Splendiferous Universes from the Marks of Antiquity he had been receiving from his conquered Cosmos. Yet this existence before him boasted an easy number of Universes that neared a million as Noah couldn't help but shake his head!
"Why is a foreign soul descending onto a Cosmos of mine, hmm? And you, how did you get influenced so easily?" His voice was filled with utter confidence as essence erupted from him and wrapped around the Antiquity holding the weapon that carried Noah's soul, this Antiquity being teleported away as only Noah's small portion of soul remained behind.
Even though it meant his descent into the Cosmos of this Reality was a failure, he still wanted to gather any information he could on other beings chosen as Champions- and the price of a small portion of his soul wasn't bad to pay for that!
The crimson eyes of the Champion known as Aegon before him began to shine dangerously as before he did anything else, Noah spoke out.
"Before that, what is your System?"
…!
His words caused the Champion to pause as his eyes shone with an interesting luster, but the dangerous aura in his body only increased as he spoke out with amusement!
"Interesting…I would chat and get to know more about a foreign soul like you normally but…"
THRUM!
The dangerous essence around his body fully wrapped around Noah's small portion of soul as the Champion known as Aegon smiled devilishly.
"One of the many things that the System you're curious about gives me is Hints. I followed them to glory until now as the Hint I am receiving when it comes to you…is to destroy right away."
BOOM!
His essence fully wrapped around Noah's small soul as an explosion akin to a Universe shattering resounded out, the soul becoming dispersed and drowned out into nothingness as before Noah lost connection to it, he heard a last set of words from the Champion within this Reality!
"Now, the Hint to obtain another Cosmic Treasure…"
With this, there was silence.
"..."
Within the Sapphire Universe of the Oblation Cosmos that Noah jumped into from his very first Reality.
Noah was in another location as he was surrounded by frost, Annalise was situated behind him as she constantly released the essence of her trait and froze the surrounding barren planet around them into a white crystalline world of ice.
His main body had sharp eyes as he reflected on what he just came across and branded any Cosmos with Champions to be too dangerous, and he had to be careful if he ever came across prominent individuals with the names Aegon or Noah!
With this new knowledge, he cast [Authority of the Dominator] as he sent portions of his soul onto two Antiquities he had Subjugated in the Oblation Cosmos. Soon after, these two beings appeared before him as they morphed into his form, their eyes shining blue as they took on a devilishly handsome appearance.
Noah saw that just sending a portion of his soul into the Boundary Between Realities was faster for him to descend, but he had very little power to move initially thereafter as he was changing his methods!
Noah, he would send his Subjugated Blessed that he controlled with [Authority of the Dominator] to descend as even though the process would be elongated from one to two or three weeks, he could begin powerfully as soon as he descended onto a Cosmos.
THRUM!
His main body began to light up as he took out the real Sword of Shattered Reality, this broken Primordial? Relic humming within his hands as he pushed it forward and pierced into the cerulean space before him, tearing it apart and forming an entrance into the Boundary Between Realities that his two clones entered!
The torn space then closed as Noah's eyes were a bit dimmer from using so much power, recuperating while monitoring how long it would take for his two Subjugated Clones to make headway into another Reality after this.
They traversed the unique space of the Boundary Between Realities as Noah's Destiny churned, using it to lead him forward to the best possible line of reality as he didn't rush into anything for an entire day.
His first clone found a significantly large line of Reality stretching out endlessly as his destiny was looking favorably towards it, and his second clone…
"Oh?"
His second clone was floating on one of the biggest lines of Realities he had seen so far, one that would take months or years to descend down in just from how vast this line was! This Reality seemed to be vastly different and unique compared to the others as Noah saw its boundary was much thicker to penetrate through, as if it was heavily reinforced and protected to make sure nobody went in or out.
And yet…his destiny rang out multiple times as it pointed him towards this line of Reality, and Noah didn't know why until he placed his hand on it and felt its vastness as well as…
"Another soul?!"
There was another soul actually traversing in the vast river of this immense Reality!
It wasn't like Noah's soul as it didn't seem capable of escaping outside of the scope of this reality, but the soul seemed to be going against the flow of Reality as it was utilizing a certain Dao to seemingly go back to a prior point of this Reality. The soul was protected by a terribly thick boundary similar to the Reality, even though it didn't seem all that strong as it only amounted to barely one-thousandth of Noah's own soul power!
His mind churned as he collated all the information he had from the many Hegemonies and Antiquities he Subjugated, coming across one possible solution as he looked at the soul traversing against the flow of its reality.
'An existence with the Dao of Reincarnation or Chronos, a being going back in time from one time point to another!'
His eyes flashed gloriously as he thought of such a thing, his eyes locked onto the small soul as he very quickly made his decision and fully sank his clone into this vast river of Reality.
He did so as even though it would normally take him months or years to break past the boundary of this incredibly large line of Reality, if he made a connection with one of its inhabitants early and used them to help for his descent, the process would at most take weeks or a few months!
He didn't have to send small weak wisps of his soul to try and influence someone as just by coming in contact with a being that could traverse the river of time of their Reality would be more than enough.
WAA!
His clone barreled forward majestically as he watched the small soul, seeing it protected by a vibrant white and purple essence along with the thick boundary similar to that surrounding the Reality as it rebuffed Noah's essence when he tried to see if he could dominate this being right away.
It was the unique protective boundary surrounding the whole Reality and the essence of top tier Cosmic Daos that Noah had only heard of so far but not comprehended, so he modified his plans in the next second as a moment later, he made a move.
—-
A soul was going against the ravages of time as their eyes were filled with determination, intent on obtaining something against all odds!
It wasn't the first time this soul was doing so, but the process was always arduous and time consuming. It was always uneventful, or it should have been!
"What's this?"
A booming voice thundered into the consciousness of the soul as it turned to the side to see the titanous form of a existence- an existence whose face could barely be seen as his eyes shone like bright blue lanterns.
The soul was shocked as it never came across anything else before, looking closely as the being appearing before it as its consciousness shook when it was the manifestation of dozens of Universes on the chest of this appearing Existence.
"Antiquity…"
The soul voiced out with awe as it saw the thing it had been seeking this whole time- the pathway past the single Universe of a Hegemony to the Universal Filament of Antiquities!
"Who are you, little guy?"
The booming voice of the Antiquity rang out as the soul was dazed from the sight of multiple Universes, replying absentmindedly a moment later.
"Chronos…"
…!
