A blinding white halo spread from Otto's position and expanded through the dark world. It was cancer that spread inside Noah's technique and destroyed the currents of dark matter that were suppressing the expert.
'Is he like Sword Saint?' Noah wondered while large chunks of his dark world fell apart.
In theory, Noah's dark matter had already touched the liquid stage in terms of power. It could suppress cultivators at that level as long as Noah could focus his entire efforts on one of them.
Yet, liquid stage cultivators still had access to better "Breath". The amount of power carried by those energies was almost the same, but their quality was far different.
The dark matter was denser, but the liquid stage "Breath" had a superior structure. Experts on Sword Saint's level could rely on that quality to overpower Noah's dark world and destroy the technique with massive discharges of energy.
