Born Sacred

Chapter 226: Fighting Demon Lord II

Everyone looked toward Heaven Pillar Mountain in disbelief, including the Old Ancestor.

Unlike thirty years ago, after recognizing Noah’s strength, the Demon Lord no longer held back and unleashed his full power without hesitation.

Noah glanced at his current attributes.

---------------------------------------

Strength: 273.11 million

Agility: 262.56 million

Constitution: 289 million

Spirit: 291.78 million

-----------------------------

All four attributes had tripled, entering the realm of the 7th Order.

After activating the Destruction Form, all skill effects increased by 100%, and the Savage Bloodline’s bonus double accordingly. His four attributes surged dramatically. Strength and Constitution exceeded by 16 million, Agility surpassed by 12 million, and Spirit rose by 14 million.

On top of that, Bloodline Liberation granted an additional 380% increase to all attributes while the Destruction Form provided another 750% boost.

Although the sharp decline in Combat Art prevented him from fully controlling this overwhelming power, it still allowed Noah to unleash attributes at the 110 million level.

He, too, had stepped into the 7th Order Rank.

This was already unbelievably astonishing. After all, Noah was only at the 4th Order. If not for the breakthrough in Soul Resonance—which had greatly strengthened his soul and increased his Combat Art by 30%. The attributes he could wield right now would definitely not have exceeded 70 million.

Compared to the Demon Lord, Noah was still inferior in raw attributes, but the gap was no longer as overwhelming as before.

Combined with the advantage of Epic-tier skills, the doubled skill effects granted by the Destruction Form, and the damage amplification provided by the power of the Great Dao, Noah believed that he now had the ability to gain the upper hand against the Demon Lord.

But it all came back to the same problem.

He needed to end the battle quickly.

Noah’s mind raced. Among all his skills, the one with the greatest destructive power was naturally Godslayer.

However, the Demon Lord’s Constitution and Spirit were far too high.

Moreover, the Demon Lord was completely different from Noah. Aside from the innate skill Life Force Field, Noah had not learned any defensive abilities. In contrast, the Demon Lord possessed both passive and active defensive skills, each being max-level Perfect-grade abilities that granted him overwhelmingly powerful defense.

Although Godslayer was an Epic grade skill, it was only at Level 2. Combined with the difference in attributes between them. it would be extremely difficult for Noah to break through the Demon Lord’s multiple layers of defense and deal heavy damage.

"It seems I can only use that move." Noah’s expression shifted slightly.

The Demon Lord possessed countless skills, but none of them were soul-based. Compared to his terrifying physical body, his soul was far more vulnerable.

...

While Noah was deep in thought, the Demon Lord did not wait.

"Boom—!"

With a single thrust of his spear, a terrifying black beam tore through the void, carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth as it shot fiercely toward Noah.

However, to the Demon Lord’s surprise, the attack felt as though it had struck an indestructible wall.

Noah did not move even slightly.

"Such powerful defense... I refuse to believe it cannot be broken!"

The Demon Lord’s fighting spirit rose even higher. His figure flickered repeatedly through the sky as the Thousand Soul Spear unleashed thrust after thrust in rapid succession.

Yet no matter what skills he used, the result remained the same.

The spear tip stopped right in front of Noah, unable to advance even half an inch.

"This is impossible!"

The Demon Lord still refused to believe it. Such absurd defensive power should not have been possible for a 5th-Order expert, nor even for a 6th-Order or 7th-Order powerhouse.

But no matter how hard he tried, it was all futile.

"If it could be broken by you, could it still be called Absolute Defense?" Noah said calmly.

"Absolute Defense? As expected, it’s truly impressive." The Demon Lord nodded. "I admit your defense exceeds my imagination. But defense alone is not enough. Come, let me witness your attack."

"I definitely won’t disappoint you," Noah replied calmly.

"Godslayer."

A majestic and magnificent figure appeared behind Noah. It was the projection of his soul.

The moment Noah activated Godslayer, black light flashed within both his eyes and the flaming eyes of the soul projection. An invisible soul attack erupted forth like a razor-sharp blade, directly piercing into the Demon Lord’s soul.

Faced with this terrifying soul attack, the Demon Lord’s soul defenses instantly crumbled, and his soul suffered a devastating blow.

Unless enhanced through talents, skills, or other special methods, a person’s soul strength was normally only proportional to their life rank.

As a 6th-Order existence, the Demon Lord’s soul was naturally extremely powerful.

But before Godslayer, it was astonishingly fragile.

The Demon Lord’s soul was annihilated instantly. The light within his eyes rapidly faded away, and his body fell limply from the sky.

Before it could descend very far, it was engulfed by the second Godslayer attack unleashed by Noah.

A terrifying black light tore through the void, completely obliterating the Demon Lord.

After his soul had been annihilated, destroying the Demon Lord’s physical body was no longer difficult.

At the same time, two slightly weaker attacks erupted within Noah’s body and soul. However, Noah was still under the effects of Absolute Defense and completely ignored them.

"It’s over."

Noah let out a sigh of relief.

Although his battle with the Demon Lord had appeared simple, killing the Demon Lord in only two attacks, the reality was far from easy.

To achieve such a result, Noah had invested an unimaginable amount of effort.

If he had not achieved breakthroughs in both his skills and cultivation techniques, he definitely would not have been a match for the Demon Lord.

After all, this was a 6th-Order elite Boss.

Meanwhile, Noah himself was only at the 4th Order.

Even Extreme difficulty had already reached such a terrifying level. Noah could not even imagine how difficult the higher Pain difficulty would be. By then, it would also include the effects of his Talent Ascension, likely making the challenge unimaginably harder.

Fortunately, that was a matter for the future.

Noah still had several months to prepare.
