When it came to the fusion of Units, Noah always favored the stupendous power of the Aether Dragons.
Ever since they were Drakes, these were the Units he used to forge ahead in strength many times, and he would do so this time around as well!
The 500,000 Diamond Rank Upgrade Crystals were divided in half as they went into two Aether Dragons towering over Noah, their bodies glimmering brightly as their fusion didn't take too long after they were maxed.
THRUM!
An infusion of marvelous colors occurred, the milky white disappearing as a rosy color permeated amidst the purple tendrils of Aether!
ROAAAAR!
The powerful roar of a Dragon could be heard in the middle of the storm of Mana, this roar clearing everything up as a grand beast filled with majesty appeared.
"Sheesh…"
Noah couldn't help but utter when he looked up at the sizable creature, where by his estimation it should be close to 50 meters large as its sheer size alone was 25 times that of a human being!
Glistening purple scales that vibrated with power, widespread wings that covered the skies themselves...but most of all it was the ancient draconic head atop this newly fused Dragon that made Noah pause.
It was because rotating slowly on top of the magisterial head of this Dragon...was an illusory purple crown that emanated intense waves of Aether!
A dragon adorned with an illusory purple crown!
PLATINUM [Dragon King, Koddrys] :: A genuine Dragon King that was born and drenched in Aether, being so capable that it has currently comprehended 10% of this Universal Law. Its masterful control of Aether has exceeded many beings as its mere movements can cause Aether Storms. It's abilities include [Lightning Burst], [Aether Cage], [Destructive Ray], [Aether Rune Mark], [Aether Breath], [Storm of Decimation], [Aether Shield], and [Pillars of Scorching Aether]
…!
Ah!
A PLATINUM Ranked Dragon that was known as a Dragon King!
One that at its birth held 10% comprehension in the Universal Law of Aether as it was many times more than Noah…
"Crazy…"
What a fusion!
What a Platinum Ranked Rift Boss!
Noah paused a few minutes to admire the terrifying looking Dragon King who rubbed its oversized head on his body when he came close, this terrifying beast being entirely subservient to him as Noah could only sigh endlessly.
His fusion meant 1 spot was freed up in his Unit Slot, and Noah very quickly filled this spot by buying the Unit Shards of 2 Half-Dragons from the Dimensional Store and fusing them into a Diamond Rank Champion of Aether!
His reserves of Diamond Cores were robust, but not enough to spend 10,000 of them to buy the genuine Champion of Aether as he was saving many of them to elevate new Blessed into the Diamond Rank, including his Sister and Rose.
But with the fusion of a PLATINUM Ranked Rift Boss and completing his team once again, Noah went towards the direction of the Shattered Planes feature that was his next target!
As he stared into the glimmering green doorway leading into the Shattered Life Plane Dimensional Rift, Noah closed his eyes as before he entered, he communicated with the many Subjugated Blessed he had spread out all around the Three Continents of the Ethereal Realm.
Aside from them establishing order and distributing resources to create for a much more prosperous era, he had them monitor the appearance of any auras that were foreign from theirs as this would indicate that the powerful being that the Crown Prince called forth was able to find the Ethereal Realm with some mysterious methods!
But no such foreign aura appeared for the past day as after Noah confirmed this again with his Subjugated Blessed, he opened his eyes and stepped into the Shattered Life Plane Dimensional Rift.
WAA!
A dizzying wave of spatial energies later, and his eyes opened to see...green all around.
The ground beneath him swayed with tall grasses as it looked like verdant grasslands stretched around him on all sides, tall trees being seen in the distance with the auras of multiple Iron and Bronze Beasts. Even the sky was tinged green as the Life Plane Dimensional Rift was filled with the aura of the Law of Life!
ROAR!
The roars of Iron and Bronze Beasts reverberated out as they sensed Noah's entrance, grassland animals of all types beginning to rush towards him as Noah only gave a light smile.
His voice rang out lightly.
[Ruler's Emenation].
BZZZT!
A terrifying wave of blue spread out with him at the center, smashing onto all the Beasts within this floor as in the next second...all of them fell to the ground as they couldn't even withstand Noah's sheer pressure, their souls shattered from his mere words!
Ah!
How far Noah had come!
In just seconds, the first floor was cleared in seconds as Noah proceeded to the next.
Two minutes later, he stood on the 10th floor alone, not even utilizing the power of his Units as he used Ruler's Emanation to decimate everything on his path!
Loot had begun to collect from the rewards of the Shattered Life Plane Dimensional Rift, but it wasn't anything new from what he had received before as Noah continued.
10 minutes passed before he came across Gold Ranked Beasts on the 25th floor. 20 minutes passed and he came across his first Diamond Ranked Dimensional Rift Boss on the 40th Floor!
ROAAR!
It was an enormous Treant, a creature towering over 30 meters in size as it looked like multiple trees stacked together, its thick branches ready to strangle anyone nearby. For this beast, Noah merely waved his hands as he called out his PLATINUM Dragon King.
…!
The aura of bestial King covered the floor as the Treant shook, storms of Aether erupting as the Unit that had comprehended 10% of the Law of Aether moved, its entire body flickering and barely being seen with a naked eye as decimation was all that followed in the next few seconds!
This floor was cleared as Noah continued forging forward, coming across increasing numbers of Diamond Ranked Dimensional Rift Bosses as while the loot he received for clearing their floors were abundant, he still had not come across a Universal Law Crystal.
That was...until he faced 10 Dimensional Rank Rift Bosses on the 55th floor!
Verdant Treants, Golems...and a genuine Life Dragon that shone wondrously green appeared. A Line up of this many beasts caused Noah's eyes to brighten up as he expected great rewards from them, and he wasn't led down as even though these Bosses were tough to tear down with the abundant aura of life flowing through them, they couldn't match the PLATINUM Dragon King and Noah's own power that when paired up with the 7 other Units, it only took 10 minutes to tear all of them down!
RUMBLE!
Gorgeous green mana erupted out after their defeat, a prompt appearing in front of Noah as it finally contained what he wanted.
[Rewards for clearing the 55th Floor] :: [+5 Life Universal Law Crystals] [+250,000 SILVER Rank Cores], [+500 SILVER Rank LIFE Element Equipment], [+500,000 SILVER Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+1000 Random SILVER Rank Unit Shards], [+500 Health Potions].... [+250,000 GOLD Rank Cores]....[+200 DIAMOND Rank Cores], [+1 Diamond Rank Life Element Skill Book], [+100,00 Diamond Rank Upgrade Crystals]...
"..."
Noah could hear the beat of his heart clearly when he went over the loot for clearing the 55th floor of the Shattered Life Plane Dimensional Rift.
Unlike the Infinite Crucible that he could repeat over and over again from the first Wave until whatever he was capable of reaching, the Tower of Champions and the Shattered Planes Dimensional Rifts had floors that one had to continue ascending for the greatest rewards!
It was repeatable as one could only go up, so its rewards were much higher!
When Noah came across the Life Universal Law Crystals for the first time within this Shattered Life Plane Dimensional Rift, it was 5 of them as they would directly grant him .5% in the Law of Life when he absorbed them fully.
This wasn't to even mention the Diamond Cores and the 100,000 Diamond Upgrade Crystals given from this floor, making it clear that as long as Noah ascended another 5 or 10, another PLATINUM Unit or two weren't too far away!
"Very good!"
WAA!
Noah waved his hands as he called forth the Life Universal Law Crystals, their beautiful green luster reflecting gloriously on his eyes.
[Life Universal Law Crystal](Minor) :: A crystal that contains unique properties, its essence denser than even normal Diamond Cores. It is capable of propelling the advancement of the Universal Law of Life by anyone capable of absorbing it. As it is a Minor Crystal, it is only capable of increasing the comprehension of the Universal Law by .1%.
A description very much similar to the Aether Universal Law Crystal, and Noah wasted no time absorbing all five of them as in a matter of minutes, there was something else flowing within his body aside from the dangerous element of Aether!
BZZT!
His eyes were closed as his skin glowed with a gorgeous green light, his body giving off immense waves of life force that were soon drowned out with the shocking might of aether, two Universal Laws freely swimming within his body!
His bright eyes opened as he checked his Stat Panel again to see what boosts this law brought!
[Universal Laws] :: Life-.5%(+50% Increased Life Damage, +50% Enhanced Life Force and Health Regeneration, +50% to All Defensive Parameters)? Aether- 2.4%(+240% Increased Aether Damage, +240% Increased Elemental Penetration, +240% Elemental Corrosion Effect)
…!
Domineering effects of Life Damage, Enhanced Life Force and Health Regeneration, as well as an increase in All Defensive Parameters came along with the Law of Life, Noah having a bright smile at such effects as he currently felt multiple times stronger than he was just hours ago with just the Law of Aether!
With such powerful effects and the floors of this Shattered Life Plane Dimensional Rift providing wondrous treasures on the floors to come, Noah's eyes flashed as he continued to ascend, his goal was to rise until he faced powerful Rift Bosses he couldn't defeat, only then coming to a stop as after that...he planned to not wait within the Ethereal Realm for a coming enemy as he would step out himself to nip this coming threat in the bud early and finally achieve his idle life!
