1774. Roars

A deep growl resounded in Noah's mind after the mental connection formed. The dragon didn't give voice to the usual shrill cry of a newborn. Its tone sounded deep and ancient, as if the creature had taken a nap that had lasted for eras.

A torrent of emotions flowed inside Noah's mind and made his mental walls shake. Those feelings felt familiar and synchronized with his existence after they filled the insides of his ethereal center of power.

Noah knew those emotions. They carried the entirety of his cultivation journey and desires. The massive six-armed dragon was an embodiment of his existence, just like the Demonic Sword, but its character was developing past its sources to generate something completely separate.

The intensity of the internal pressure decreased as the dragon's personality took form. Random flares of hunger, confusion, astonishment, happiness, and pride surged in Noah's mind, but they quickly waned when they found similar feelings inside the center of power.
