Chapter 474 Hydromancer's Mantle

Noah's Ancient Blood Clone thoughtfully stared at the description of the newly forged Supreme Treasure, [Hydromancer's Mantle], that was floating serenely in the Blacksmith's Forge.

[Hydromancer's Mantle] :: A supreme treasure geared towards extreme defense, absorbing any attacks thrown at it as the wearer experiences extreme comfort. Abilities include Sea Domain, Hydromancer's Banner, Hydomancer's Pride, Seaborn

[Sea Domain] (Active) :: With the user at the center, the surrounding 1 mile can instantly be turned into a domain of the sea. Within this Domain, the wearer of Hydromancer's Mantle absorbs 50% of all damage and reflects 20% more, while the enemies are granted the Slow and Restrictive skill effect. The Defense of the user is tripled in the Sea Domain.

[Hydromancer's Banner] (Active) :: A banner of the one loved by water descends on the battlefield, granting the Aura of Water and Seafarer abilities to all those standing with the Hydromancer that allows them to move unhindered in the Sea Domain while enhancing their abilities.

[Hydromancer's Pride] (Passive) :: +500% Physical and Magic Defense, +300% Water Element Resistance, 5% Chance to block all damage.

[Seaborn] (Passive) :: The wearer of the Hydromancer's Mantle is loved by water, granting them 100% comprehension speed when trying to understand the Law of Water.

Noah's eyes stared carefully at the blue shining mantle as numerous ideas about the abilities shown passed through his mind.

[When forging, I tried to steer the resulting abilities towards things that you did not already have, the results being somewhat satisfactory.]

The voice of the Spiritual World System rang out as Noah smiled.

"This is more than enough."

Yes, this was more than enough! The abilities were stupendous, especially [Seaborn] that insanely doubled his comprehension in the Law of Water! He was currently working to refine Soul Jades from the Water Crystal materials he had obtained while traversing the southern area of the Celestial Realm in order to use them on the neglected [Lawful Nourishment] item that he received from the Karmic Sect Leader in order to increase the rate at which he comprehended the laws.

The future plan was to find the equivalent materials to enable him to collect numerous crystals of all the laws he was working on to further enhance his speed, so he never expected an item to actually just casually double his rate of progress in one law.

If the Hydromancer's Mantle gave just this, he would have been happy. But it did even more as grand abilities like Sea Domain, Hydromancer's Pride, and Hydromancer's Banner appeared to further protect him and reinforce his power.

Noah's clone wasted no time as his hands reached towards the Supreme Treasure, adorning it for the first time to see its spectacular descriptions in action!

---

As legions moved closer and closer towards each other, Noah's main body was moving alone in the celestial realm.

Grand Master Vredral had looked at this disciple with shining and proud eyes when he stepped into a realm that was even above his own and was even courteous enough to ask his teacher still for the permission to explore the Celestial Realm by himself. The Grandmaster had shaken his head proudly as he waved his hands telling Noah that he could do whatever he wished!

He was an expert at the World Realm now and that title came with a status. A status that would first award him the title of a Grandmaster even though his fate lines had yet to reach and exceed 100,000. Before he left the Golden Bastion, Noah had received the Golden Robe that was adorned by the many Grandmasters of this Celestial Realm.

In the span of a few months after Noah first stepped onto the seventh Celestial Star as a disciple, in this short period of time he had actually risen from that lowly rank and had gotten the name of a Celestial, and now held the proud name of a Grandmaster.

Of course, this meant nothing to him as he left the Golden Bastion adorned in the golden robe and went further south of the Celestial Realm to begin exploring and hunt down behemoths in full. Even as people neared war, he still had to strengthen himself and his forces, where now a majority of the Harbingers of Sin were in the Soul Forging Realm with not a single one in the Domain Expansion Realm.

The current plan was to of course explore the uniqueness of this Celestial Realm while obtaining the cores and skills of Behemoths that he could absorb himself and also pass down to his subordinates.

He had already been on this venture for the past three days, having actually come across more than 20 Fate Behemoths.

These celestial beasts that were proficient in the law of fate would have been particularly difficult for Elite Explorations Teams to take care of, as they were more than likely more proficient in the law of fate than the Celestials that were following the inheritance of the disciple of fate.

But for Noah, these beasts that were in the Domain Expansion Realm fell under his abilities very easily!

The ones he came across were the same mountainous beasts that towered over 50 or 60 meters, with their traits being very similar to the animals from his homeworld that he had always come across before with their major difference being in color, and of course power.

Among the ones he had seen was a golden Phoenix that he took down through using attacks that were layered with the power of chaos, making sure that he had [Unique Origin] active and other covert skills so that even if someone was watching, they would not be able to understand the true extent of his power. This was simply him being more careful, and he most likely did not have anything to worry about.

He met a variety of fate behemoths the past few days, each of them holding golden feathers or golden furs with their skills being resplendent as they utilized the law of fate.

As for the loot, these Behemoths did not just drop cores, but they also dropped fancy-looking skills related to the law of fate that were not contained under the [Fate's Guardian] skill tree. Many of these skills utilized mana to either form offensive abilities or defensive abilities in the forms of shields or weapons. An example of some of the skill books that he obtained were [Blades of Fate], [Fate Armor], [Golden Berserker], and a few more abilities that were unique to the type of celestial beasts themselves.

There were various abilities, but in his eyes none of them even came close to the abilities under the Fate's Guardian skill tree that continued to expand more and more, each of the abilities within them boosting the entire skill tree to unimaginable levels. The percentage of boosts from these skills already at the Domain Rank actually did not even match the compounded boosts he was receiving from just a single skill in the still Soul Rank Skill Tree.

If he were to pay attention to all of these skills that dropped as loot from the fate behemoths and even the many other beings they had taken down, he would have thousands of skills in his stat panel without even knowing which one to use or utilize. So, many of these skills would be used as sacrificial skills for [Skill Combination] and to bring up his powerful skill trees to even greater heights, with the rest being given to his subordinates for them to gain equivalent level skills for when he granted them cores of the Domain Expansion Realm as well.

RUMBLE!

Yet another fate behemoth fell as the brilliant light of loot erupted from it, cores and skill books erupting out as they quickly turned into lights and faded away, entering Noah's Expansive Space in the span of a millisecond.

All of the beasts that he had taken down could be considered Elite Behemoths and there were still all in the domain expansion realm. For him to meet the beasts above that, those that were titled Supreme Behemoths, he had to venture deep into the Celestial Realm to even come across these powerful celestial beasts that were at the World Rank or even more terrifyingly above that.

But this would all come later, as his focus now remained on hunting more Behemoths!
