Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

Chapter 859 - A Sage's Sacrifice I

Space was ruptured and trying to heal on all sides as the vibrant greenery in the mystical realm was torn down.

RIIIP!

Yet another tear in space erupted as the magnificent Sword Emperor swung his sword towards another clone, this clone barely managing to survive as the essence of Ruination held shocking properties that caused the dissolution of the strong essence this Sage released!

Yet even with such a feature, the Sage was still moving freely across the torn skies as at this moment, his pure Speed and power still exceeded Noah!

'Has he truly purified 10% of his body and soul with Primordial Essence?'

Noah's thoughts moved at instantaneous speeds with the +10,000% boost to All Parameters that included his mental faculties, wondering if the Sage he was battling had already reached the shocking level of +100,000% to All Parameters with the purification of the Primordial Essence!

'In that case…"

RUMBLE!

Essence wildly flew out as while the Sword Emperor was besieging a clone, the appearance of terrifying Tiamat reappeared in the skies that weren't littered with as many terrifying blue swords, a clone clad in the red aura of Ruination merging with her right away before rejoining the battle- this time its power boosted as a terrifying Queen Dowager now moved while being assisted by the essence of a Cosmic Dao!

ROAAAR!

Tiamat let out a terrifying bellow when she felt this essence, her body being covered by it entirely as it reminded her of an age long ago.

It reminded her of when she ruled over large regions of the Animus Universe, when she wielded her own Cosmic Dao of Annihilation as she was the Progenitor! The being that ruled with domineering strength before she was betrayed by the other Rulers of the 9 Supreme Bloodlines!

ROAAR!

A second later, the appearance of the fearsome Jormungandr, Golden Crow, Oculothorax, Calamity Bear, Obsidian Panther, and the enormous Colossal Helios Leviathan made their appearance- Noah's clones merging with them as their strength was vastly increased before they went to match the terrifying Sage!

At this moment, Noah was measuring the percent increase of [All Parameters] that this Sage had by continuously adding more and more strength gradually, and he so far found out that the percentage of purification for this Sage exceeded 5%!

RUMBLE!

Even while surrounded by the Animus Summons enhanced by the essence of a Cosmic Dao, he flashed through the skies while wielding his sword gloriously.

It felt like a single man with his swords standing against raging storms with ease as Noah observed the Sword Emperor to actually...close his eyes the moment he increased his power output by having his clones merge with his pets.

His eyes opened wide in shock as he saw this Sage with his closed eyes beginning to change, his 4 meter form gradually disappearing as something else was taking its place!

The voice of the Sword Emperor then rang out magisterially throughout the torn skies.

"When you fully assimilate the Dao of the Sword, you truly become one with the Sword."

…!

A resplendent, gorgeously shining blue sword that was inscribed with numerous runic markings!

This sentient sword...tore through space as it instantly appeared above Tiamat, passing through her wings as they were instantly cut cleanly!

ROAR!

The Queen Dowager bellowed out furiously as muscles and bones tried to reform rapidly, the Sword Form of the terrific Sage having already flashed away as it went to strike towards another pet, Noah watching this scene with shock as the Sword Emperor...had really turned into a f.u.c.k.i.n.g sword!

One with the Sword!

SHAA!

The singular arch human in sword form tore through the skies as he began to dominate the battlefield once more, Noah's pets falling on the defensive as Noah's main body gave chase.

At this juncture, a variety of thoughts crossed Noah's mind on how he could reign in this Sage, a myriad of answers popping up in his mind as one of them was Skills.

He now had a myriad of Daos, even grasping a Cosmic Dao that held terrifying boosts! What he needed now at this moment...was a skill that could put all of these Daos to use as he came out with something that could threaten a sage!

Millions of thoughts came and went through his mind as he calculated, finding all the different possibilities with Skill Creation as he pulled up the number of his Skill Points during this time.

[Skill Point(s) :: 98,245,252]

From the 30 million something skill points he had after the events of the Primal Winged Expanse, they had more than tripled as he tore through the Immemorial Sword Dungeon, each of the Sword Kings he defeated giving him hundreds of thousands of skill points!

While looking at these points and his current situation, a skill was quickly devised and calculated as it was placed in the Skill Creation tab.

GALAXY [Cardinal Sword of Ruination] :: An Unavoidable ability that locks on to the aura of the selected enemy and does not stop until it reaches the target, even if it had to traverse the entire Universe. The Cardinal Sword of Ruination will include the essence of the Daos of Ruination, Sword, and Withering as the base- the seamless inclusion of these dao essences granting +10,000 Physical and Soul Damage. Cost of Skill Creation: 30,000,000

A fairly simple skill design that played to the weakness Noah currently had when it came to the wondrous Sage in front of him- his attacks were evaded or did not reach the being!

The ability of Cardinal Sword of Ruination being unavoidable required 15 million Skill Points, the seamless inclusion of the Daos of Ruination, Sword, and Withering required 10 million Skill Points, as the +10,000 Physical and Soul Damage addition required 5 million more skill points.

Noah could have made an even more fearsome skill by using the remaining 60 millions skill points, but he saved these for a rainy day as he knew his true enemies within this Universe were the Spirit Race he was yet to meet. For the purposes of the slippery Sword Emperor...this should be enough!

RUMBE!

[Cardinal Sword of Ruination].[Cardinal Sword of Ruination].[Cardinal Sword of Ruination]...

WAA!

In the skies, humongous swords 10 meters large that glimmered and vibrated with the intense auras of 3 Daos began to appear, each of them shooting out like a guided missile as they went towards the far off Sword Emperor!

Mixtures of red and blue permeated throughout the swords as they appeared one after another, the first one reaching the Sword Emperor as this Sage in sword form merely flashed away from it to attack another one of Noah's pets. Yet...the sword that he just evaded warped right where the Sword Emperor appeared, exploding gloriously as the essence of three Daos tore apart space and caused the shimmering Sage to pause!

BOOM!

Unavoidable!

The Sage had taken damage for the first time in a while from an attack his speed could somehow not evade.

It was the advent of a skill that Noah could spam against his enemies while he was light years away, a skill they wouldn't be able to avoid as they had to be hit and either survive it with their sheer power and defenses- or face death!

RUMBLE!

A crucial juncture was about to occur in the battle within the mystical realm, a juncture that would cause for a magisterial outcome of this dreadful battle!

Yet amidst all of this, there was one thing that many might have forgotten or slipped out of their minds.

It was something that had been silent all this time even though it comprehended a great deal of Daos, more daos than even Noah and the Sword Emperor.

Hidden in the folds of space of the mystical Realm, a Blue Slime was quietly waiting for a chance.

It wanted the blood of a Sage.

It wanted to completely devour a Sage as it obtained that exact same strength!
