The Wasteland of Death, as the name implied, it really was filled with the stench of death due to the innumerable number of practitioners perishing there.
It was like an invisible claw of the Grim Reaper looming over anyone that dared to venture into these lands.
The terrain was barren and rocky with continual overgrowth of dry withered vegetation across its expanse.
Spanning five hundred and ninety miles in length and four hundred and ninety-seven in width, countless Profound Beasts ran amok throughout the wasteland.
It was one of the three most terrifying regions within the Blue Wind Empire, harbouring a hundred times the number of Profound Beasts than the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Region.
It was paradise for the Profound Beasts and hell for the cultivators.
This was the region that Noah had set his foot in to wreak havoc, that is, transcend his Heavenly Tribulation.
Noah observed his current location, and he found that it was the inner region where most Earth Profound Beasts and Sky Profound Beasts lived.
Screech!
A flying Profound Beast that was flying high in the sky happened to spot Noah.
It was a Profound Beast known as the Fierce Storm Hawk.
It had been looking for some prey now when it suddenly spotted the newly appeared human.
Due to Noah's small stature, its profound eye vision assumed he was easy prey.
Like a lightning storm, the Fierce Storm Hawk did not hesitate to stretch out its sharp talons that could effortlessly cleave an Earth profound treasure and glided down intending to seize Noah.
A pair of icy golden eyes that held a chilling intensity was directed toward the stupid bird.
Despite its current lightning speed, the Fierce Storm Hawk immediately stopped its motion when it was merely ten meters away from Noah.
The Fierce Storm Hawk had abruptly stopped because at that moment that Noah's eyes were on it, it felt as if the gates of hell were slowly opening to welcome a new guest while Yama laughed at its misfortune.
Its body was undergoing perceptible quivering due to overwhelming fear.
Noah's gaze held the poor bird in midair and in its eyes, a pleading look could be seen.
"Scram!"
Noah retracted his pressure from the Fierce Storm Hawk since he didn't want to waste his energy on some tiny bugs.
The Fierce Storm Hawk was an intelligent Earth Profound Realm Profound Beast, so it immediately understood that Noah had forgiven it.
KREE!
It let out a cry of relief and gratitude as it bowed its head toward Noah before escaping at lightning speed.
From that day, the Fierce Storm Hawk promised itself to never hunt again cultivators without any leaking aura and those it couldn't determine their strength.
Its foolishness had nearly killed it.
Its speed which it was proud of, wouldn't help it all in situations like it felt when facing Noah.
Noah chuckled at the fleeing silhouette of the Fierce Storm Hawk.
'Noah, do you want to transcend your tribulation here? I can sense a faint divine beast aura in this region.'
Jasmine flew out of the Sky Poison Pearl and her immaculate legs softly landed on the ground. It was simply baffling that not even a speck of dust could be seen clinging to her fascinating bare feet.
Clad in a smoky red fairy dress, she looked extremely cute, pure and untainted.
Noah couldn't help but slowly touch her smooth cheeks and play with them.
Jasmine's face boiled red in embarrassment and slight anger due to being treated like a child.
"Yeah, I am about to transcend my tribulation. The Divine Beast aura you are probably sensing is the Primordial Azure Dragon. Just like the Phoenix, he also has his own Trial Grounds located in this region."
Noah casually answered her question as he continued to play with her cheeks.
"Stop treating this Princess like a child!" Jasmine's cold voice threatened and Noah felt he had had enough of teasing her.
Removing his hands from the Princess, he intently looked at her and asked, " Then answer me. How do want me to treat you?"
Without thinking, Jasmine blurted out, "Treat me the way you treat that snow-white woman you played with, in the bed!"
"..."
Noah was instantly stunned by Jasmine's words.
He didn't expect her to say those words.
A few seconds later, realization began to dawn on Jasmine's mind.
She discovered that her words had veered toward a dangerous forbidden path.
"Uwaah!"
The tips of her ears started reddening and she couldn't help but let out a cry of embarrassment.
"Do you also want to do 'that' with me?" Noah leaned his mouth toward her ear and softly asked. His words held a deeper meaning.
"Y-You...This Princess is fed up with your teasing!"
"Hmph, It was just a slip of the tongue!"
With her voice trembling, she covered her face with her dainty hands and swiftly returned to the Sky Poison Pearl.
Noah's words kept resonating deep in her mind. She couldn't expel his damn words off her head.
Noah lightly chuckled and telepathically left a message for her.
'Don't worry, I will 'eat' you soon, Little Jasmine.'
Jasmine didn't reply and just curled her body as she processed whatever had happened.
"Haha...Heavens please take pity on this lowly self."
Noah loudly laughed as he peered at the sky. It was time to let loose.
He released his suppressed cultivation realm, causing a horrifying pressure to weigh down on every living creature inhabiting the Wasteland of Death.
The sky above the Wasteland of Death suddenly turned completely dark and both the Profound Beasts and cultivators started panicking.
All of them started moving away from the place where Noah was, as it was there that dark nimbus clouds were slowly accumulating.
RUMBLE!
A terrifying thunderclap resounded over the region and spread to the whole Profound Continent.
It was as if an apocalyptic event was about to befall all living beings.
A lightning tribulation that was white started appearing in the dark clouds and further amalgamated with other lightning tribulation snakes to form a huge Lightning Dragon.
ROAR!
The Lightning Dragon released an ear-splitting roar that reverberated all over the continent and descended with its jaws wide open.
It intended to swallow up the insolent cultivator that dared to defy the heavens.
Noah smiled as he looked at the incoming lightning attack.
Finally, the lightning landed on his body. Sadly it didn't even leave a scratch as streaks of lightning slowly disappeared from his body.
"Heavens, is this some sort of joke? Do you expect this small lightning attack to cause me some damage?!"
Noah roared to the sky as he was honestly disappointed by the heavens.
RUMBLE!
The heavens were clearly angered when they heard the arrogance in Noah's voice.
A lowly life form was reprimanding it.
BOOM!
It couldn't be tolerated.
Another horrid tribulation lightning started brewing in the sky.
It was a red lightning tribulation.
'Lily, analyze the red lightning tribulation.'
[ Affirmative]
[ Analysing... ]
[ The red lightning tribulation...is called the World's End Destruction Lightning Tribulation. It contains the concepts of destruction and death. ]
'Holy cow...This was clearly not depicted in the novel. My identity as an inscrutable anomaly must have changed many things in the whole Primal Chaos Dimension such as this lightning tribulation.'
Noah smiled as he felt that things were slowly getting interesting.
The concept of Destruction.
Something that wasn't even among the universal Laws of the Primal Chaos Dimension.
ROAR!
A red lightning dragon made of Necrotic and Destruction Laws swiftly descended onto his figure.
"Haha, come. I embrace thee into my arms."
Noah let out a burst of maniacal laughter as he spread his arms in invitation, for the tribulation to bombard his body.
RUMBLE!
Heaven's wrath intensified as the red lightning opened up its maw to swallow up Noah.
BUZZ!!
Red Lightning hummed on Noah's body as the Destruction and Death Laws destroyed it, only to heal over and over again.
His regenerative healing property was at a terrifying level that he mused that even if his whole body was destroyed, he would just heal infinitely.
At the current moment, his Soul was as powerful as a True God, he even had a feeling it was more so.
He wanted his soul to be Eternal. To transcend both Life and Death. To be truly indestructible.
And he would work out the method to achieve that goal.
A Soul Scripture that suited him.
As the Lightning of Destruction Laws ravaged his body, he channelled some of them towards his inner world.
He made a corresponding clone to comprehend its intricacy.
His inner world was a stable domain so the tribulation couldn't affect it. What he worried about was the Sky Poison Pearl.
He looked at the green imprint on his right arm and proceeded to also transfer it to his inner world.
'Good.'
With those thoughts out of his mind, he looked again at the sky.
"Haha, is that all you've got?"
His thunderous voice reverberated throughout the heavens and all the living beings in the Profound Continent heard him.
They wondered who was currently trying to defy the heavenly order.
They could only have deep respect for that person.
The Heavenly order was inviolable and defiance to it was only courting death.
The heavens were in despair. It wondered how this lowly life form could not perish under its destructive might.
A more terrifying lightning tribulation than the [ World's End Destruction Lightning ] started taking shape.
Black Lightning started flashing in the sky, illuminating the whole region.
It sizzled with an intensity that shook the very souls of every being.
It was so terrifying.
Noah looked at the black lightning with an excited face.
"That's more like it."
'Lily, help me analyze that one."
[ Analysing...]
[ Soul Extinguishing Karmic Tribulation Lightning: It is tribulation lightning woven with Karmic Laws and Destruction Laws. It has the capability of affecting the cause and effect of the cultivator undergoing its tribulation. It can affect causality to always strike at your soul. ]
[ Master, be careful. ]
'Lily, don't worry about me.'
'I will be careful. Since it is related to the soul, it will surely help me toward my goal. '
'It will act as a tonic for my soul.'
Noah wanted to use the [ Soul Extinguishing Karmic Tribulation Lightning] to temper his soul.
"Come on!"
Noah provoked the heavens to send more goodies his way.
Travelling at the speed of light, the [ Soul Extinguishing Karmic Tribulation Lightning] bombarded Noah and his surroundings.
Half of the region was already destroyed and many Profound Beasts' corpses littered the Wasteland of Death.
It was a massacre.
The nearby cultivators were also not spared under the spread of the Karmic Lightning and their souls were forever extinguished never to reincarnate in their afterlives.
Noah felt his soul being slowly destroyed and repaired, it was a continuous cycle.
Luckily, he felt his soul strengthening in the process.
'Weren't the heavens just rewarding him instead of giving him divine punishment?' Noah couldn't help but think as black lightning streaks danced around his body, his black hair had already defied gravity.
He looked like the Incarnation of destruction.
Seeing his carefree reaction, the heavens faltered.
The being it deemed as a lowly Life Form was taking everything it gave and wasn't harmed anyway.
This went against the conventions of the Heavenly Order.
The heavens used heaven-defying means to exterminate that being but all its punishments were rendered null.
Noah was already fed up with the tribulation and he knew the heavens didn't have other means to punish him.
"Your time is up."
Noah murmured as he lowered his centre of gravity by spreading his legs a little bit wide, it looked like he was doing a horse stance.
Clenching his fist near his waist, he controlled all his raw physical power into that right fist.
And like a catapult, he directed his right fist towards the tribulation clouds.
[ Heaven Obliteration Fist ]
There and then, a technique was made.
A technique to sunder the heavens apart.
A powerful force split the clouds apart, giving way for resplendent rays of the sun to shine over the land once again.
"That was nice. I loosened my muscles a little bit."
Noah chuckled as he observed the now clear sky.
He also observed his cultivation level which had experienced an exponential increase.
He jumped two great realms to attain the Divine Sovereign Realm.
It wasn't anything special.
His point of importance was mainly on Universal Laws.
At the moment, he could feel his clones were inching closer toward completion.
As Noah was going over his gains, he didn't know that his powerful fist had shattered a point of the boundary surrounding Primal Chaos, further creating an opening in it.
At that moment, a path to the outside of the Primal Chaos was made.
Again, the trajectory of the future took another route but no beings in the Primal Chaos Dimension could perceive the consequences.
