Noah didn't meet anyone during his flight, his senses perceived the presence of the sandworms in the desert under him, but no cultivators appeared on his road.
Then, when the environment began to change and the temperature began to rise, he saw a figure in the distance.
The figure was at many kilometers away from his position, Noah was only able to see a dark dot in the sky, but he knew that it was his opponent.
The rocky wasteland spread in front of him, he had reached the area of the battle, but he stood still, just as his opponent was doing.
Noah felt the hunger inside him increase as soon as he sensed the aura of the lava lake, part of him wanted to dive through the threatening red rivers just to have a chance to eat the source of that power.
Yet, he was also incredibly calm.
His period spent in the wilderness made him attune entirely with his body, there were no more human and dragon side, there was just him.
