Steven could have continued to fight. Noah had only matched his determination, but they still had to see the oute of a proper exchange.
However, Steven had a different plan. He needed to establish an alliance with the Legion, but he wasn't willing to bee the underling of an unworthy leader.
Noah's character didn't fit his mindset, but his power and determination were undeniable. Steven couldn't accept him as a leader, but he was perfect as an ally.
"You are an odd one," Noah sighed while retracting the Demonic Sword and accepting Night back inside his separate space. "You got me excited over nothing."
Noah had actually begun to enjoy the battle. Steven was a perfect opponent at his current level. He could test his new abilities and see how far he could stretch his power.
Still, he didn't mind that oute either. Steven was willing to give him the location that he needed. Fighting had bee pointless at that point.
Noah's cultivation level fell and returned to its real level. A sense of weakness filled his figure as his flesh became unstable.
The black hole quickly activated to suppress those drawbacks. Dark matter took the shape of lines that seeped into his flesh and reinforced his overall structure.
Noah inspected the black lines that had appeared on his skin before glancing at Steven and waiting for his words. His team was a stranger to those lands, so they had to listen to his directives before issuing a meeting.
"Follow me," Steven exclaimed while flying toward the ravine.

The same went for his panions. The heroic cultivators hinted at the presence of separate dimensions meant to groom experts. Only large organizations had something similar. It was clear that Steven's cell was important among the secret organization.
The group limited themselves to inspect the various buildings before following Steven in a large structure dug into the side of the canyon. King Elbas listed the many defenses in that area, but his team entered anyway.
There seemed to be countless branches inside that structure. Steven's cell had prepared many escape routes and fake paths in that area. Noah knew how underground organizations worked, and he couldn't help but remain speechless at the incredible intricacy of those tunnels.
'This is the divine version of the Chasing Demon sect,' Noah laughed in his mind, and a tinge of longing spread inside him.
"What is it?" June asked when she noticed the slight change in Noah's expression.
"I've only recalled something nice," Noah replied as a faint smile appeared on his face. "We created the Hive in a place like this."
