  Sect Master Inuit was the leader of one of the most powerful and hidden sets in the World of Cultivation. It was a sect that focused on and pondered the Laws of Karma. Cultivators that mysteriously searched for cause and effect.

  What exactly had they found out? What had their techniques told them that made them come to search the Lost World of Atlantis not for the Supreme Treasure, but instead look for a being? Who exactly was this sect master of the Karmic Sect looking for?

  There were many questions that were swimming in Martial Uncle Dylan's mind, but Sect Master Inuit didn't offer any more guidance as the two forces from the World of Cultivation moved forward to meet the forces of the Demon World. Their aims were the same, and they might even become enemies after the location of the treasure was found, but for now, they moved with a singular purpose, to rain down destruction on the city at the center of the Lost World.

  Chapter 185 - Meeting

  As Noah was adapting to the Trident of the Sea, he turned towards the miniaturized Kraken and said,

  "I actually have a treasure that will give us some more time to prepare before we head out for Atlantis, as well as a way to get us to the city whenever we wish."

  The Kraken put on a surprise expression as it replied.

  "Oh, you actually have more that I haven't seen, little Atlantean?"

  Noah smiled while he removed the Spiritual Land from his body and anchored it onto the top of the hill where many treasures lay in the underground cave.

  "It is an isolated space treasure that I came upon when I was traveling. It holds all sorts of marvels, but I have yet to fully figure all of them out. I'll bring you in now, don't resist."

  There was a flash of light passing through the red eyes of the Kraken as a silver light covered both his body and Noah's, and they both disappeared from the underground treasure cave and into the Spiritual Land.

  They appeared in the skies of the Frozen Plateau Spiritual Land as a weird image played out where a two-meter tall squid was floating in the air with no problems. It looked around the respondent lights and the fields of white. The many cries of beasts that could be heard in the distance, as well as the powerful auras that could be felt around the Spiritual Land.

  Before the beast could continue observing the spiritual land any further, Noah's voice came out once again.

  "I also wanted to introduce to you one of my trump cards against invaders that are heading for Atlantis. Don't be too surprised or act irrationally when you meet them."

  Noah was planning many things in his mind, and for the success of the battle to come, he would make sure there were no uncertainties and all the usable pieces were known beforehand. But his voice didn't even finish registering before the red figure of Barbatos appeared in the skies.

  "Wow wow, little fish. Did you bring yet another meal for you to cook and enjoy?"

  The playfulness was apparent in Barbatos's tone as she looked interestingly at the Kraken and licked her lips.

  Instantly, a maddeningly powerful pressure descended onto the spiritual land as the Kraken looked carefully towards the newly appeared figure and then turned towards Noah.

  "You have a wench with a similar scent as the invaders in your so-called isolated space treasure. You better explain yourself, and it will have to be very quick. Otherwise, I'll be killing the next successor of the Trident of the Sea just a few minutes after he inherits it."

  Noah remained with a calm expression as he looked between the Kraken and Barbatos as their auras clashed against one another, their power palpitating.

  The mocking voice of Barbatos came out first.

  "Oh, this little squid is actually talking about me. Does it really think it has what it takes to stand on the same level as me?"

  Noah didn't let any more exchange of words continue as he voiced out,

  "Yes, I was able to come to an agreement with this invader as a tool for us to take down the Leaders of Demons that are leading the charge against Atlantis. She had important information and skill sets that will go a long way for the coming battle. I have her under an unbreakable contract, which means I also have her under control."

  He said these words towards the Kraken while he sent another set of words towards Barbatos.

  "Be good. If you do well enough then I'll make you more food today. Otherwise, I'm never going to cook for you again."

  A shocked face appeared on Barbatos as this silent communication reached her ears. Her playful face soon changed to that of pouting as she seemed to struggle in her mind. Her face turned serious right after and she nodded her head. She looked towards the Kraken as she bowed and said with an impassive face.

  "Nice to meet you, dear squid. I am the seventh ruler of the Demon World, the Necromancer of Chaos. The one kept under the rule of Baal for hundreds of years, the one that is seeking freedom and going to the great lengths of betrayal to obtain it. A wretch, perfidious, and a rotten woman. I am Barbatos."

  A shining light passed through the Kraken's eyes as its power searched through Barbatos's words and then turned to look at Noah with an unusual expression. A period of silence passed as the oppressive pressure was lifted and the squeaky voice of the Kraken rang out.

  "I don't give a damn as long as those aiming their sword at Atlantis dies. It matters not to me how it is done or who is involved in their downfall, all I need to do is accomplish my mission of making sure you worthless Children of the Sea that apparently have enough time to be forming relations with invaders do not die wretched deaths."

  He turned to Noah as he continued.

  "Now, you mentioned you had something that would give us more time and an instant path towards Atlantis, what exactly were you talking about?"

  Noah smiled at the de-escalating of the situation as a silver light spread out, covering the three of them as they all disappeared and then appeared in the middle of the large field surrounded by many many monoliths.

  "This is one of the most unique things I've come across in this isolated space treasure. There is this location that actually allows me to manipulate time to a certain extent. I can train with the trident as well as boost any of my powers here, and during this time you can tell us more about your purpose and what you planned for the defense of Atlantis before we head out."

  Noah looked at the faces of the two beings that were looking around the field of Time Space as he thought of his own ambitions. He continued to voice out his thoughts as he observed the figures of two peak PHANTASMAL ranked beings.

  "We can understand each other's strengths and share the knowledge we have about the enemies so we are prepared for the coming battle. We have a singular goal beside the defense of Atlantis, and that is the complete and utter downfall of the one calling himself the Oppressive Tyrant, the Ruler of the Demon World, Baal."

  A nod came from the head of the Kraken as it observed the surroundings with interest, while Barbatos was floating in the skies with a bored expression as she looked far in the distance towards the white layer that covered this underground portion of the isolated space treasure, her mind on the comfortable jacuzzi in the upper layer that she regretted leaving.

  The squeaky voice of the Kraken came out as three PHANTASMAL ranked individuals held a meeting that would decide the fate of Atlantis.

  "First off are the other Calamities of the Sea beside me that will be making their way to that shiny city of yours..."

  Movements, meetings, and plans were underway as multiple forces prepared to clash against each other. Neither side had yet to know just how catastrophic the result of everything would be.

  Chapter 186 - A Coming War!

  The establishment of relations between two worlds was going at an accelerated pace as individuals from the Beast World and Noah's homeworld worked in conjunction to increase their knowledge and power.

  There was a smooth transition as the governments and ruling parties of the two worlds put aside their differences to work together for a greater goal. Of course, it was not all smooth sailing and
there were still a few hiccups here and there, but the majority of things remained in a positive direction.

  It was much easier to keep people in line when you had a few specific people much more powerful than them to use force if needed. Power was the only thing that was respected at this moment in time, as it was what was required in order for everyone to continue living in peace.

  There were still many crooked and nasty people in the two worlds, but they did not find themselves in the highest positions of power in this new advancing era. Thus, the two worlds continued their sharing of knowledge and trading of skill books, items, and cores as they advanced their power.

  Things became even more hectic a few days ago as the wills of the worlds relayed the message that they would soon be actively moving. This came as a shock to even the highest echelons of strength in the Beast World as the three remaining mythical beasts found a hard task placed on their shoulders.

  They knew the strength their enemies held, but they trusted the world they were born in even more. Even though there was some slight hesitation, they followed the directions while knowing their own homes would not lead them to destruction.

  In the Frozen Kingdom, the Dark Sword, Kazuhiko was moving busily as he tried to form a party of powerful beast girls unsuccessfully. He was only able to find one fox eared girl who worked as a mercenary, with the rest of the people who offered to help him being burly human mercenaries or beastmen that wanted to serve their new Queen as best as they could.

  The main goal in his mind was still clear though, and it was the acquisitions of a Spiritual Land. He learned of the secrets and intricacies from Noah, and his goal of obtaining a Spiritual Land for himself was achieved a week after his arrival in the frozen kingdom.

  There were still two 'Nests' in the surroundings of the Frozen Kingdom that were actually Spiritual Lands without owners. Kazuhiko targeted one of these Nests as he used the knowledge Noah gave him to quickly take down an epic ranked beast and become a contender for the Trial of Supremacy of the Spiritual Land. The process thereafter was not too complicated as all he had to do was to face a similar battle as Noah where he had to fight multiple beasts and show that he was unrivaled in the epic rank.

  Kazuhiko was one of the human beings that received special attention from the Planetary Core in Noah's homeworld, and he had his own boosted strength that allowed him to exhibit strength much higher than average when in the same rank.

  In a bit over a week, it marked the second human being in history to receive ownership of a Spiritual Sand. A unique skill similar to the one that Noah received had appeared under Kazuhiko's attribute panel, although he would not be able to use it as effectively as Noah.

  He had a huge headache as he looked at the number of energy that was required just to do the simplest of things. As for the way to upgrade the rank of the spiritual land, well he would call upon Noah when the time comes to get some help.

  Many more events were occurring all over the beast world as the incoming humans and beasts worked together to increase their strength.

  Steel Mikhail was advancing in the Mythical Kingdoms with the help of the [Imperial Phoenix]. He was able to achieve ownership of his own Spiritual Land in a similar time frame as Kazuhiko.

  Not too long after, they received the grandiose gift of legendary cores from Noah who was performing the task of traveling across worlds as if it was nothing. It wouldn't take him even a minute to activate the unique skill, {Spatial Travel}, before he arrived in a different world to leave behind cores, skill books, and items.

  With the advent of these gifts, their strength that remained stagnant in the Epic rank was able to be propelled forward at a quick pace after the acquisition of their Spiritual Lands, breaking through into the Legendary rank in no time.

  As for the three remaining Mythical Beasts, they continued to increase their knowledge of the new system of power that allowed their strength to shoot up explosively by combining the many skills that they had been using over the years.

  An even more interesting sight opened itself in the Beast World as its inhabitants normally formed their own skills after years of learning how to manipulate mana in specific ways. This made it so that those who were extremely talented were able to see a new skill appear in their attribute panel out of their own making.

  Manipulating mana in complex ways to create a skill was easy to do for lower-ranked skills, but became exponentially harder when trying to create anything Legendary or above.

  Many beings in the Beast World shook their heads in exasperation after they found the ease of gaining skills simply by absorbing a [Skill Book] without going through days or months of hard work just to create a single skill, but those at the peak of power thought much differently.

  The three remaining Mythical Beasts looked at the ease of this new system of power while also looking back to how they created skills of their own at the stage they were at. If they were to use their skill of manipulating mana to create extremely compatible skills to use in conjunction with [Skill Combination]...a scary thought came when looking at the possibilities of this endeavor.

  They had achieved multiple Mythical+ ranked skills and were trying their hardest to raise the proficiency of these skills in order to combine them for the possibility of attaining the Phantasmal rank.

  They wanted to raise their strength quickly because the message that their worlds had released to them was very clear. Within the next few weeks, another gate that connected to a foreign world would be created. But this gateway would not lead to a friendly world, this gateway would lead to the enemy they held huge hatred of, this gateway would lead to the Demon World.

  Just as the inhabitants of the Demon World were able to establish a connection with the Beast World to send down its Rulers, it served to also build a connection that allowed the Planetary Core of the Beast World to know the location of the Demon World. Through the use of a tremendous amount of essence, recreating the channel that would lead to the Demon World could be done with ease.

  To prepare for this possible future, many events were occurring in the background, with a large number of moving pieces. The Planetary Cores of the Beast World and Noah's Homeworld were receiving all the knowledge that Noah came across as he moved in the Lost World of Atlantis.

  The possible sequence of future events was planned from here. At this moment in time, one of the more crucial events that was being looked at was the result of the clash between Baal and Atlantis. There was a tremendous amount of confidence that the two worlds had when it came to Noah and the incoming battle between him and the Ruler of the Demon World.

  The results of this battle could provide a huge disruption that would give a prime opportunity to attack the Demon World. They would be getting ready to move as soon as the results of the battle were clear, and Noah would lead the way for a glorious charge towards the home of their enemies.

  Schemes and plans were put in place as pieces were moved here and there, but would things really go as planned?

  Chapter 187 - Opposing forces near

  In the dark waters of the Lost World.

  The Oppressive Tyrant, Baal, had met with the forces of the Cultivators as they made their way towards the city of technology and magic. It was an oppressive force that was spreading throughout the sea as they came across empty underwater cities with the Merfolk and the Atlanteans already evacuated. Anything of value like weaponry or any advanced technology was already taken along with the evacuated inhabitants.

  The Demon Legions left nothing in their wake as they destroyed anything they came across and searched the cities in the entirety. Their goal remained the same as they looked like a sharp spear that was aimed towards Atlantis.

  With their movements getting closer, those facing their assault in Atlantis were moving even faster. The Ocean Master was sending out many commands and looking at the defensive lines around the city. Many more Hydro Cannons were implanted in the walls as military warsh.i.p.s and submarines were positioned and
ready.

  At the entrance of the city were tremendously large golden statues that protected the glowing road that led through the heavily fortified triangular gate that pulsed with an energy barrier. The statues had not moved an inch for years, with only a few older Atlanteans and Merfolk knowing a few secrets about them.

  One was a green Merfolk that stood strongly looking forward with a golden trident in hand that was eerily similar to a treasure that many people had been looking for. The other was an Atlantean equipped with a battle armor shining purple and gold as he held the largest Plasma Gun pointing out into the sea.

  These were the same statues that Noah had seen when he first arrived in Atlantis, but there was a slight change in these statues today. A pulse of light seemed to be appearing and disappearing in their blank eyes as they continued to stand motionlessly beside the gate.

  Past the gates, legions of Atlanteans and Merfolk riding golden [Killer Whales] menacing [Great White Sharks] were prepared as Atlanteans and Merfolk got ready for the fight of their lives.

  The Ocean Master's mind drifted to one exceptional Atlantean that had recently become a Seeker. Would he be able to succeed in the quest of bringing back the Trident of the Sea into the hands of its children? The body of the Ocean Master crackled with Phantasmal power as he showed no ounce of weakness, his figure floating grandly atop the underwater palace as he oversaw the moving figures of the city and the many advanced weaponry they were carrying.

  The incoming flow of Atlanteans and Merfolk from surrounding cities was occurring in a calm and collected manner as they went through an orderly process to obtain temporary lodgings in Atlantis. Everything seemed to be taken care of as they waited for the arrival of their enemies.

  OONG!

  A rumbling sound could be heard at this instant as the Ocean Master's face turned hard and he looked towards one direction.

  Above the city of Atlantis, a tremendously large figure of a Kaiju had appeared. This one had a weird shape, looking more like a mixture of an eel and an iguana. Its body sparkled with blue lightning as it looked down towards Atlantis and let out a snort.
