The stellar image of Noah floating in the skies glimmering with red all around was extremely striking.

His bright eyes glanced at his Stat Panel as he noticed yet another addition that he focused on!

[Ruination Essence Purification Effects](Currently .1%) :: +1000% to all Parameters.

"..."

Ruination Essence!

His body and soul that was purified with such resplendent essence was given a huge boost merely at .1%...

This was the type of power that made the Sage in front of Noah so powerful- he had purified his body with what was known as Primordial Essence, most likely gaining huge percentages in all Parameters as he moved with great power!

Yet Noah's Cosmic Dao of Ruination granted him +10,000% in all Parameters outright, while his purifying of his body and soul just now with the Ruination Essence that existed outside of the Primordial Cosmos...granted him +1000% to All Parameters!

That +1000%...was just him purifying his body and soul by .1%.

This meant that when he purified his body and soul by 1%, he would gain another 10,000% in All Parameters.

10% Purification would grant him….+100,000% in all Parameters!

"...fuuuuck!"

Noah's brain nearly exploded at this reality, as one must recall that in the case of Primordial Essence, Sages could only use it to purify 10% of their body and soul while Great Sages were only upped to 25%!

Meanwhile, Noah could utilize this Ruination Essence to purify up to 15% at his current stage, and 35% when he fully comprehended the Cosmic Dao.

His Parameters had the capabilities to exceed a normal Sage just in the level he was at currently!

One must also remember...there was also the Primordial Essence that Noah had not even begun using.

It created such a wondrous possible future that Noah wasn't sure how it would all turn out.

Such power!

Such magisterial possibilities!

This wasn't even all…

RUMBLE!

The skies of the mystical realm quaked and tumbled as the aura Noah released became more and more oppressive. This was due to the fact that with the advantage of the Cosmic Dao of Ruination, the Affix Effects of the Ruination Cores were now doubled.

Doubled!

This means he currently had +20,000% increase to All Damage for one affix, and +20,000+ increase to Attack and Cast Speed for the other!

This was on top of the base +10,000% to All Parameters that the Cosmic Dao of Ruination gave, now was it putting into account the +1000 to All Parameters from Noah purifying his body with Ruination Essence.

All in all, even without putting the boosts of the Aura of the fully Comprehended Daos of the Sword and Withering in the picture, over +31,000% in boosts were currently rushing through Noah's body!

Ah!

RUMBLE!

His hands then shot up to the skies once more as he tried to utilize his essence to cause another one inch circle to appear and release more Ruination Essence, but found to his dismay nothing coalescing in front of him.

"...if that Essence is similar to what I think it is, you won't be able to call it forth again until your body is capable of handling another round of purification. For others, this could be a day, with the less talented needing weeks or months."

The voice of the Sword Emperor rang out as he stared wistfully towards Noah.

The being in question turned his vibrant eyes to gaze upon the Sage staring at him in a stupor as he replied.

"Seems I took a bit longer than a minute, my apologies!"

His crimson hair that was affected by the essence of Ruination waved wildly as he turned his eyes towards the Sage.

He wondered if this being had already purified his body to the max of 10% for the level of a Sage...if he already had +100,000 increase in All Parameters due to the Primordial Essence!

"What...is that?" The Sage's eyes swirled with wisdom as he couldn't help but ask, the implications of what he was seeing being too grand.

Noah's eyes squinted as he thought for less than a second before he made up his mind, his voice ringing out domineeringly thereafter.

"You mentioned the Primordial Essence that I couldn't grasp yet, so I simply went ahead and began comprehending the Cosmic Dao of Ruination. It just so happened that it gave me access to Ruination Essence that is as potent if not more than the Primordial Essence."

"...!!!"

RUMBLE!

His words were so domineering that they caused the skies to tremble, the Sword Emperor looking towards him a stupor as he truly confirmed his thoughts!

Essence similar to Primordial Essence! And he...he accessed it by simply comprehending a Cosmic Dao?!

Such bullshit was enough to cause the mind of the Sage to spin as he tightly looked at this being in front of him.

Even his great Master had not been able to catch a wisp of a Cosmic Dao, and the vast majority of beings in the Primordial Cosmos were in the same boat as those that were capable enough and had embarked on a Cosmic Dao were few and far in between.

'Master of Ruination...Cosmic Dao of Ruination...it would not be too far fetched!'

The Sage thought simply as he nodded to Noah with a smile.

He had a smile on his face as he felt like the words of his Master were ringing in his ears at this time.

He had seen the 'something' he needed to ascertain this being could truly lead them against the Spirit Race and obtain the remainder of the Ruination Cores to stop the coming Apocalypse!

He could hear the words of his Master who had condemned himself along with many Sages and Great Sages to death just to give the Dark Universe enough time to give birth to the Master of Ruination...and that time was actually here.

"Come. O Master of Ruination! Let me see the extent of your power!"

THRUM!

The Sage bellowed out grandly as an immense aura shot forth from him, his right hand rightly grasping the Sword as he finally felt like he could use his full power against this being!

"OOOOOH!"

Noah's bellow reverberated out as the swirling essence of Ruination swirled around him with even more vigor, his Blazing red eyes sending out pillars of light as his crimson hair waved wildly, his hands making a grasping motion as two crimson Swords appeared on them!

Swords made from the essence of Ruination.

Swords containing the essence of a Cosmic Dao!

With these in hand, his figure flashed towards a powerful Sage...
