Chapter 2008: 2008. Fear

"Can we do this after leaving the barrier?" Noah asked before turning toward the chrysalides. "I'm trying not to cause a mess this time."

"No one in the entire higher plane would believe you," The cultivator commented. "Besides, I already see this as a mess."

"I can leave you with half of a rank 8 dragon," Noah proposed.

"What about the others?" The cultivator questioned.

"Don't get greedy now," Noah scoffed. "I thought you had Heaven and Earth taking care of everything."

"Your misconceptions about Heaven and Earth's system can't be so massive," The cultivator declared.

"Is that a compliment?" Noah asked.

"You are correct," The cultivator admitted.

Noah was ready to slash forward, but he held back. His instincts screamed in danger and told him not to give his opponent an opening. That expert was strong but also peculiar. Other cultivators belonging to Heaven and Earth's system would have already attacked after seeing him seize all the dark metal in the area.
