Chapter 232 - An Ultimate Skill

Noah stayed at the bottom of the bubbling flow of lava as a constant release of essence protected his body on all sides. He was thinking of the recent events in this Treasure Abode, specifically the way that the cultivators from the Time Immemorial Sect had faced their deaths.

Noah had the unique skill, {Observant}, active at all times, and thus he noticed the abnormalities where the footholds they were jumping to had actually moved in both instances! His mind worked fast as he reevaluated the danger of this place that made it seem like it was designed to cause as much pain as possible for those going after the treasures.

This was the Abode of the Devilish Time Unveiler, and it looked like he didn’t plan on letting other beings walk off with his treasures for free even in death. Noah waited as he continued to spread his senses out until the cultivators of the Time Immemorial Sect passed through the only doorway leading out of the mountainous lava-filled cavern they were in.

His vibrant energy that came from the reserves of planets themselves rumbled as he used even more to supply to his skills, and his body began to lift through the air even with the heavy gravitational pressure that continued to come down. His speed still wasn’t as fast as the Grand Elder Amos in the Saint Realm, but he was able to use his nonsensical amount of energy to keep all skills active and defend himself without worry as he ignored the footholds and simply continued rising in the air towards the floating technique at the peak.

From his memories, this was one of the Ultimate Techniques known throughout the World of Cultivation, one that the top hegemonies like the Devilish Time Unveiler had the opportunity to learn and perfect over time. It was a skill unlike anything he had come across before.

His body shone with a vibrant light as he neared the most elevated platform that even the Elders at Transcendent Realm didn’t have hopes of getting to before they used up all of their essence. In front of him floated the pulsating purple book that read: Auraless Nine Swords Style! His heart beat slightly faster as he reached out, causing an eruption of gorgeous lights as a scene similar to when he received the technique of pill cultivation from Sect Master Inuit played out. Soon enough, he was able to see a new skill appearing in the stat panel, along with its wondrous descriptions that gave him a shock.

{Auraless Nine Swords Style} :: An Ultimate Skill refined by a Swordmaster in the World of Cultivation. It was created with the purpose of turning the aura of the user into nothingness that could then be used to strike down all enemies. The first three sword styles require the user’s aura to be at the Transcendent Realm in order to initiate. The next three Sword Styles require the user’s aura to be at the Saint Realm in order to initiate. The last three Sword Styles require the user’s aura to be at the Void Fimmerment Realm in order to initiate.

[First Sword- Blade Edge] :: Traversing the skies and arriving in a blink, the blade edge always draws the first blood.

[Second Sword- Blade Phantom] :: The user’s aura forms into unseen swords that the enemy cannot see coming. A maximum of 100 Blade Phantoms can be cast at once.

[Third Sword- Nine-colored Blade Form] :: The user begins connecting with the Styles of the Auraless Nine Swords, their own body gaining the sharpness of the most powerful of weapons capable of cutting down one’s enemies.

[Fourth...] ...[Fifth...]....[Sixth...]

He looked stupendously as he obtained yet another Ultimate Skill, and this one was from the World of Cultivation! It was created in such a unique way that he could only use the first three forms at this moment in time as the skill could only be initiated by the aura of a being starting at Transcendent Rank.

He was still considered someone at the Phantasmal Rank just a day ago, and his attributes had only just crossed over to the Transcendent Rank after using the cores and loot he obtained from taking down the Transcendent Realm Elder Dan. He felt a bubbling level of enthusiasm as it dawned on him that he would have killer skills to use the moment he moved onto the next rank. This was an Ultimate Skill!

Noah’s mind wandered to the other Ultimate Skills he held, as well as the ones he knew of still back in the Demon World. They were the types of skills that could be used at any level he climbed to, and they held ever so increasing effectiveness. New ideas erupted in his mind as the remaining skills of the Seven Deadly Sins he hadn’t really made plans for appeared in his mind. This would be something for later though, as he wanted to see just what other treasures this tomb of a Void Fimmerment Cultivator held, as well as the dangers that seemed to be especially created!

In the different spaces of the Treasure Abode of the Devilish Time Unveiler, many beings were finding themselves facing death in a variety of means as the search for treasures began turning deadly. More and more casualties were amassing in all groups as they ignored their surroundings for the rush of treasures they continued to obtain.

After the abundant amount of Medicinal Herbs spread around the tremendously large mountain of the Devilish Abode, the inside of it held even more spectacular things!

A group of cultivators were able to obtain unique movement type treasures in one of the caverns of the mountain, another group obtained cultivation techniques at the Saint realm, with others obtaining Profound Armament which could withstand the strikes of anything below Saint Realm!

An abundance of treasures was dangling on their faces as even with the many casualties they continued to observe that many put in the back of their minds as they continued further and further into the doorways present at the end of each of the perilous caverns filled with different environments.

In one particular cavern, a group of Magi from the Magus World found themselves at the end of the rope. They had targeted a small group of cultivators and followed them through the same doorway a second after they entered, and mercilessly did what they planned to do; kill and obtain the bodies of the cultivators!

There were many more of them, and the unsuspecting cultivators weren’t able to save themselves after being surrounded. But this was when the problems began to occur. The environment they appeared in was a grassland that had pockets of unstable space constantly appear.

One would only have a second of evading as they observed the formation of the unstable space when they had to move, or they would find their bodies crushed if they were caught in the vortex of shattering space.

These unstable vortexes were not appearing too fast or frequently at first, but the moment they killed the cultivators and pocketed their bodies, it felt like the cavern they were in roared in anger, and the unstable vortexes began to appear even faster!

They began dodging throughout the grassland in shock as they observed with horror that the only doorway that had been visible all this time actually faded away, and they could not find any other way out from this perilous cavern that had already taken the lives of 2 Magi in their group.

The leader of the Magus group, the Black Serpent, looked on coldly as many thoughts passed through his mind. He was not a thinker, but he knew one thing for sure.

’This was a trap!’

Something fishy was going on in this tomb of the Devilish Time Unveiler, and it seemed like they were embroiled in the middle of it. He dodged yet another newly appearing vortex in a split second when his wide senses from the bloodline of the powerful Black Serpent felt yet another change in space, but this time it was the appearance of another being into the cavern they were in.

A powerful dark-haired human holding a shining trident and vibrating with wild power appeared in the cavern that was closed on all sides and was full of dangers.
