The Sword Emperor was staring towards Noah's figure incredulously as he could sense an aura of ancientness from it!

An aura that seemed to scream of power as it wildly waved around him, an Aura he had not come across before.

"This…"

While he could not figure it out, Noah himself had just read about the Glorious rewards he received from the full assimilation of the universal laws.

A Cosmic Dao!

A Dao that only the top experts of the Primordial Cosmos even had a chance of enjoying, and his Dao was one of a kind as nobody had even embarked on it but him.

Its effects...were simply stupendous, but he wanted to get over the disappointment first!

The disappointment related to the sentence in the description that he read- [A Cosmic Dao such as this requires for it to be comprehend and assimilated by the soul- aside from Ruination itself, outside resources or treasures will yield no help.]

A sentence that screamed of someone trying to make things harder for him!

Comprehending the Cosmic Dao would have been hard enough as he would have had to do it all by himself, but he at least thought assimilation would be a breeze as he had the Dao Assimilation Crystals.

Yet the Tier of a Cosmic Dao was so high that in its description it listed no outside resources would be of use. Assimilation Crystals and all their wonders...would be no use on Cosmic Daos! Due to this, Noah nearly wanted to revolt…

But he was pacified as he read about the stupendous effects the Cosmic Dao gave him, starting with the boosts that were purely on the realm of ridiculousness.

Just from comprehending the Cosmic Dao, he received boosts similar to a being that had comprehended and assimilated a Grand Dao!

For him, it was even higher as it was +10,000% to All Parameters. It wasn't just All Damage or Speed...but all parameters!

Even Grand Daos gave the full +10,000 boost once assimilated to one or two parameters, but this Cosmic Dao said fuck all that as it added it to everything!

This was on top of a base +10,000% Increased Comprehension and Assimilation of All Daos, a boost that along with the All Parameter boost would be DOUBLED when he fully comprehended it, and then QUINTUPLED when he fully assimilated it…

He...he truly had no words for this.

It meant the +10,000% base would become +20,000% at full comprehension, and this +20,000% would become +100,000% at full Assimilation!

What a magisterial set of numbers! What balance breaking reality!

Noah's eyes searched the description of the Cosmic Dao of Ruination with fervor as he came upon the mention of Ruination Essence.

He had just learned about Primordial Essence, the unique essence that actually birthed the Primordial Cosmos and could be accessed when one was in the stage of a Sage.

Yet ridiculously...merely comprehending the Cosmic Dao granted him access to something called Ruination Essence that had effects and caps that seemed much more resplendent than even the Primordial Essence.

THRUUUM!

His body that was covered by a wild blazing aura looked to the skies as he stretched his hands out.

Since he had access to this stupendous Essence, he would utilize it to strengthen himself!

CRACK!

His actions caused the essence of the Cosmic Dao to swirl above him, rapidly spinning in a circle as space seemed to be getting torn.

TRHUM!

A second later, the swirling stopped as Noah's eyes squinted while observing at the center of the circle of red essence, a black hole the size of one inch appeared!

This black hole was extremely dark as shockingly, it was reminiscent of something we had come across before- the Fractures that tore apart the Desolate Galaxies!

Yet Noah didn't know of this as he looked at the small one inch hole, his outstretched hands making a grasping motion as a tendril of thick crimson liquid began to leak out of it.

RUMBLE!

The Sword Emperor was staring at the scene in front of him in shock at this point as what was occurring was simply unbelievable!

This was because the sight of essence swirling in a circle to create a small opening that had a unique liquid essence pour out of it...this scene was extremely similar to what he was able to do when he became a Sage.

This was how he obtained the Primordial Essence, and the small hole he could access it from as a Sage was less than half an inch!

Yet Noah had somehow opened a full inch hole that released crimson liquid which released an aura no less ancient than the Primordial Essence he was familiar with, watching a stupor as this essence flowed towards this terrific being and he...took a gulp!

...CRACK!

One could hear the shout of something shattering, but it wasn't space this time as the horrid sound came from Noah's body.

OOOOM!

The moment he swallowed the liquid Ruination Essence, it felt like something had broken within him as an instant later, it was being rapidly resounded- and at extremely high speeds at that!

The crimson liquid Ruination Essence pierced into his origin and soul as it bathed it entirely, and it then proceeded to cause Noah the most intense pain he had ever felt in his entire life as...it began to burn.

Purify!

The essence was purifying his body and soul, and it had to do so in the most excruciating manner possible as his face was drained of all color while he bellowed out.

OOOOOH!

It was a bellow of pain and frustration, a bellow of feeling his soul burning inside out!

It persisted for close to 30 seconds before calming down, Noah feeling the scorching flames of the Ruination Essence change as he felt extreme euphoria throughout his body, his heart muscles gaining particles of a unique liquid essence that shimmered with a crimson luster.

THUMP!

The sound of his heart beating was like a drum, pound and resplendent as he came out of the pain of Purification for the first time while feeling like a new man.

OOOOH!

He couldn't help but release another triumphant bellow as his now crimson hair waved around wildly, his eyes shooting out luminous beams of red light!
