To read the memories of a Forth Order Demon Eagle, she needed to reach at least Third Order.

However, the moment she advanced to Third Order, Noah immediately pulled her into an instance, leaving her with no time to spare. After that came the Advancement Instance. Considering she might need to use her talent inside, she chose not to rush.

Noah nodded. After confirming that Great Snake Demon was in a deep coma, he steeped aside.

Lily leaped onto the demon’s head, activated her Soul Eye, and began reading the memories of the mid rank demon.

With multiple memory readings behind her and her strength improved, she could now stabilize her mind far more effectively. She was no longer easily overwhelmed by foreign memories, avoiding the awkward and embarrassing situation she had once faced.

After a long while, Lily finally withdrew from the chaotic sea of memories. She sat down on the ground, her breathing uneven.

"I need some time."

Noah and Ethan did not disturb her. There was no need to rush.

"Then I’ll start," Ethan said, his spirits lifting as he rolled up his sleeves, ready to begin.

If he wanted to transform into other creatures, he first needed a deep understanding of their physical structure.

He had deliberately held back earlier to avoid interfering with Lily.

An SSS-Level Talent was far from ordinary. Even with just a fragments of flesh and blood, he could conduct a deep analysis using his ability, but the process would be much slower. With a complete body, however, the analysis would be significantly faster.

Lily had yet to fully recover, but Ethan had already finished his work.

After confirming that neither of them had any remaining doubts, Noah stepped forward. Grabbing the Green Snake Demon’s massive body, he hurled it high into the air. In the next instant, his fist pierced through the void itself, unleashing a devastating strike that completely obliterated the demon.

If Ethan intended to transform into the Green Snake Demon, then naturally, the original body could not be left behind as a liability.

As for the demons within Valtherion City, none of them would escape. There was no need to worry about news of the Green Snake Demon’s capture spreading. The only witnesses were the humans of Valtherion City, all of whom had seen Noah subdue the demon and take it away.

That, however, could not be helped.

All he could do was hope that the demon faction would not place too much trust in human intelligence.

Ethan, on the other hand, was not overly concerned. With the memories extracted by Lily, it would be difficult for him to expose any flaws. Even if something unexpected arose, he could fabricate an excuse on the spot.

After all, he had no intention of infiltrating the demon ranks for long.

If it was only for a few days, there would be no real issue.

Noah had no intention of joining the Demon Suppression Division or any civilian forces.

Gathering intelligence could be left to Rose and the others. It would not only keep them occupied but also allow them to accumulate more contributions.

As for him, his task was simple and yet far more difficult:

To personally take action and eliminate three higher-ranked demons.

...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

While waiting for everyone to consolidate their information, Noah did not remain idle. From time to time, he would step in to assist them in slaying demons and completing missions, rapidly elevating their standing within their respective factions.

With Noah’s support, Rose and the others rose at an astonishing pace. Though they had yet to earn complete trust due to the short time involved, they had already gained access to a wealth of valuable intelligence.

During these three days, Noah achieved further breakthroughs.

Following the enhancement of Thunder Shadow Step, two more of his skills reached their limits.

[War Stomp Lv.10+2]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Type: Active Skill]

[Effect: Unrivaled force surges through the ground, unleashing a devastating shockwave that stuns and disorients all targets within a 100-meter radius while dealing massive damage. The higher the target’s Spirit and Constitution, the weaker the effect.]

---

[Mountain River Collapse Lv.10+2]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Type: Active Skill]

[Effect: With a single punch, mountains crumble and rivers shatter. Attack +440%]

These two skills were War Stomp and Mountain River Collapse.

Knowing that advancing a skill beyond Perfect grade would take a significant amount of time, Noah deliberately chose a quiet, undisturbed moment to attempt the breakthrough.

"Let’s begin."

He started with War Stomp.

As his thoughts stirred, just like when he advanced Thunder Shadow Step, the words War Stomp on his attribute panel blurred and began to shift.

The transformation lasted for two full hours.

At the moment the breakthrough succeeded, a torrent of memories surged into Noah’s mind.

In those memories, he sat upon the earth, cross-legged and motionless. His body trembled faintly, and with it, the ground beneath him began to vibrate. The tremors grew stronger... and stronger... until they carried an overwhelming force.

Years passed.

When Noah finally opened his eyes, the land beneath him had long since shattered. He now sat cross-legged within the void itself, and even the endless void trembled under the resonance of his power.

"Hoo..."

Noah slowly exhaled, digesting the vast insights contained within those memories.

Shock flickered in his eyes.

The version of himself within those memories was far too terrifying. Although it did not mean he could wield such power immediately, he now understood the true potential of this skill.

Suppressing the excitement rising within him, Noah lowered his gaze toward the attribute panel.

War Stomp disappeared, replaced by a brand-new skill, Void Shock.

[Void Shock Lv.0+2]

[Quality: Epic]

[Type: Active Skill]

[Effect: You have comprehended the true essence of vibration, capable of shaking the very earth with ease. Upon activation, all targets within a twelve-kilometer radius are subjected to continuous tremors, causing sustained damage and a stunning effect. The higher your Spirit and Constitution, the less you are affected.]

"Void Shock..."

A faint glint flickered in Noah’s eyes.

Compared to War Stomp, this skill had undergone a complete transformation.

War Stomp had once been a powerful ability, delivering heavy damage while stunning enemies, but it came with two critical limitations.

First, its range was far too small. Even at Perfect grade, it only affected a radius of one hundred meters. Further upgrades increased damage and stun duration, but never expanded its reach.

Second, it was restricted to ground-based targets.

But Noah’s enemies were no longer confined to the ground. Many could fly, and some possessed enormous bodies stretching hundreds of meters.

As his strength continued to grow, so too did the power of his enemies. In comparison, War Stomp had gradually lost its effectiveness.

In fact, Noah had not used it for a long time.
