Chapter 1230 1230. Close

The Eternal Snake had shattered the sky with both its leap and bite, and the last attack had spread its silver liquid. The air had turned into a thick layer of ice, and Noah wasn't fast enough to escape that ability.
Noah found himself stuck inside the ice. Cracks appeared on its surface as he tried to pull his feet off of it, but the ability managed to delay him for one instant.
The Snake exploited that chance to leap toward Noah again. The creature was above him before he could even decide what to launch to escape from that situation.
Noah could only let his vast experience guide him in that situation. His blade rose to meet the insides of the Snake's head, and dark matter flowed inside his weapon to create one of his strongest slashes.
The Demonic Sword became bigger before clashing with the Snake's mouth. When the two touched, Noah felt an unstoppable force flowing through the weapon and reaching his arms.
His connection with the Demonic Sword made him aware that the blade couldn't take that force head-on. The Snake's physical strength could shatter his living weapon and his body at the same time!
However, Noah had never planned to challenge the beast with his physical strength. He had always known to be inferior to that creature. Only his superior techniques could make him triumph in that battle.
The ice covering his feet shattered as Noah endured the pressure that landed on his body. His veins bulged and exploded as he gave his everything to stop that charge for a second.
Cracks appeared on the surface of the Demonic Sword during the clash. The blade suffered structural damages even if the dark matter made its fabric almost indestructible.
Still, Noah's attack managed to hurt the creature. His blade stabbed the insides of its mouth and dug deep in its skin. It even reached the skull after crossing its muscles.
Noah's body sunk in the layer of ice. He used the physical strength of the Snake to escape from the other side of that prison.
Once his feet touched the air again, he recalled the Demonic Sword inside his space-ring and let the momentum created in the clash fling him downward.
The Snake didn't let him go. It shattered the ice and charged after him while the shards gathered inside its mouth. The injury that Noah had created healed before the beast reached him.
The Eternal Snake opened its mouth to prepare its bite, but Noah sprinted away before it could finish its attack. A shockwave came out when its maw closed, but it didn't manage to reach its opponent at that time.
Noah had become used to the battle rhythm by then. Even with its immense strength and troublesome innate ability, the Snake was still a magical beast, and that made its fighting style limited.
The creature used the flexibility and might of its body to the fullest, and it also exploited that physical strength to make its slow innate ability threatening.
However, that was everything it could do. The magical beasts' weaknesses were still there even if the Eternal Snake expressed the absolute peak of the sixth rank. Even the inhabitants of the Immortal Lands couldn't escape the limits of their species.
Noah never stopped sprinting. He knew that he couldn't let the Snake retake the upper hand, but he didn't use that chance to escape.
He could launch one last attack before the effects of his ambition faded. The drawbacks would also be quite harsh at that time, so he aimed to deliver a killing blow.
That was his last chance to get something out of the battle. The next ones would go better since he had already gathered enough data about that species, so he could target other benefits now.
The Snake appeared unable to pinpoint his location. It had managed to follow him previously because the shockwaves forced him out of his dimension, but he was untouchable as long as he remained outside of its range.
The creature roared in anger, and the claws on its arms began to shine with a silver color. Waves of its liquid shot out of its limbs whenever it waved them, but those attacks were slower than its previous ones.
'The liquid is threatening only when it follows the charges,' Noah thought as he dodged the silver waves flying through the sky.
He would love to find out how such a species had developed their battle style, but he couldn't waste time in that situation. He could only guess that divine beings' guidance and the Immortal Lands' pressure had made their understanding about their abilities evolve.
Ice appeared in every direction. The entire area froze as the Snake continued to unleash its anger on the sky. It couldn't forgive the ant that had cut its tail.
Noah continued to sprint around the Snake until an opening arrived. The creature had stopped and had turned toward the center of the continent after a while. It seemed that its mission had resumed being a priority in its mind once it lost its opponent.
At that point, Noah sprinted toward its head and reached it in less than an instant. The Snake appeared happy to see him, but Noah didn't bother to notice those details in that situation.
Dark matter flowed inside his Demonic Sword as his blade descended. The cracks on the weapon spread as Noah pushed its structure over its limits.
He had to go beyond what the Demonic Sword could endure in that state if he wanted to kill the Snake.
Noah slashed, and a fissure appeared on top of the Snake. A long cut appeared on the creature's head, and the blood that spurted out of it fell into the void.
The cut was deep, but Noah didn't manage to make it go all the way down to the other side of its head. The slash didn't have the same piercing ability as the lunge, but his assault didn't end there.
More blood came of the injury when Night flew across it. The Pterodactyl dug through its muscles to open a path for its brain. Everything would be over if Noah managed to destroy that vital organ.
Snore also appeared under the fissure and launched its elemental attacks inside the wound. Its fire, gales, and ice opened the path for its lightning bolts and eventually managed to crack the Snake's skull.
Night flew back inside the injury at that point. It seeped inside the cracked skull and cut everything it could, but the Snake leaped toward the ground at that point.
Noah, Night, and Snore gathered in the sky and watched the Snake crash on the ground. His cultivation level began to decrease as the effects of his ambition waned, but he didn't retreat just yet.
He had to know if the damage he had dealt in the last exchange was enough to bring the creature to the death's door.
The Eternal Snake was at the bottom of a pit created after its charge, but it didn't move. It barely showed any sign of being alive.
However, the ice that had accumulated on the battlefield shattered and converged toward the creature's head. Noah could only sigh when he saw the shards filling the injury and beginning to change color.
Growls also began to come out of its motionless mouth. It was only a matter of seconds before the Snake healed and resumed to charge at Noah.
'I'm close,' Noah thought as he shot one last glance at the Snake before leaving the area. He had confirmed that his current power allowed him to survive a battle on that level for a few minutes.
