Abyssal Lord of the Magi World

Ezequiel remained in the sky of the Slaughter Trial in a meditative position with his eyes closed. The dimension's natural energy and Origin Power poured into the Supreme Neo-Demon's body as his aura grew mightier. 

Inside the Supreme Neo-Demon's soul dimension, both the True Doomsday Body and True Soul grew stronger due to the qualitative change experienced as they advanced in Rank.

After twenty-nine days of meditation, Ezequiel's body trembled as his existence obtained an evolutionary improvement. His Astral Origin finally stabilized, filling his flesh and blood with immense strength, and the hearts had transformed into supernatural organs. 

The Bloodline Heart and Elemental Chaos Heart changed after fusing with the Apocalyptic Star's Yang Law. Ezequiel's blood now enhanced the body's endurance and drastically improved its vitality and regeneration abilities. 

Due to the connection with the hearts, the fourth Apocalyptic Star also purified a Neo-Demon's bloodline. This ability was beneficial for children whose parents had yet to mature their bloodlines fully. 

The star also improved the Neo-Demon's energy pool, allowing their Elemental Chaos to be purer and denser, which would enhance the warrior's stamina.

The last benefit of the Apocalyptic Star affected only the male Neo-Demons. Yang energies would fill their bodies and improve their reproductive abilities.

Dragons have an easy time reproducing despite their powerful bloodlines thanks to the yang runes engraved in their flesh and blood. Neo-Demons who have sealed their fourth Apocalyptic Star also have this advantage. 

After advancing to Rank 5, the black humanoid obtained an overall improvement, affecting his ego. Fortunately, before he could show signs of individuality, the True Will opened his eyes and suppressed him. 

Less than a day after the True Doomsday Body advanced, the Supreme Neo-Demon's Soul Origin finished its compression and obtained a change in its nature, from a gaseous state to a liquid one.

Ezequiel's sphere of Soul Origin that occupied more than half of the True Soul's chest was now nothing more than a fine stream of golden liquid. 

Although it was smaller, the amount of Soul Origin of the stream was almost three times larger than before. 

The True Soul's power rose immediately when the change in the Soul Origin finished. The consciousness inside the blue humanoid grew wider, and his ability to perceive and decipher the laws advanced exponentially. 

Like with the True Doomsday Body, the blue humanoid's ego grew more powerful, and the True Will had to suppress him to avoid any sign of individuality from appearing. 

After advancing in both Paths of Power, Ezequiel opened his eyes and stood up before adopting a battle position and throwing a fist forward. 

The attack only carried the might of his body and soul without being enhanced by his energies. However, the power in it was still great enough to blast a cannon of super-compressed air that extended for thousands of meters, capable of shattering a Demon Counts' body.

Ezequiel smiled as he felt the incredible power inside him and was sure that he could quickly butcher all the Demon Marquises that pushed him to the limit a few years ago.

The attack generated some pressure on his inner organs, reminding him that he needed to rest and adapt to the fourth Apocalyptic Star power.

As he felt his condition, the Supreme Neo-Demon frowned due to the Slaughter Trial's laws scanning him. 

Even without his Law Avatar or Doomsday Incarnation, Ezequiel's battle power got near Rank 6, and his presence stirred the dimension's laws. 

The Supreme Neo-Demon understood that training in this place was not possible since the laws could expel him at any time, but that did not matter since he never planned to remain here in the first place.

'The Demon Dukes' consciousnesses must be patrolling outside the dimension.'

Ezequiel knew that while the Demon Marquises could not communicate with the outside due to the Slaughter Trial's cloaking abilities, the Demon Dukes would learn about their demise once the contract that connected them broke. 

If his enemies were devils, Ezequiel would have needed to implement all kinds of secondary plans to trick them long enough until he left the plane. Luckily he was handling demons.

While Demon Dukes may have certain wisdom and control over their chaotic instincts due to their powerful souls, they were still wild killing machines. They would only think that the rest had decided to gang up against them, and there was no way they put the effort and mind to figure out what really happened. 

Right now, every Demon Duke thought the other four groups had formed an alliance against them and butchered all of their people. Even Duke Luzerne thought like that because Ezequiel's Doppelganger Fiend Rune had broken due to the Supreme Neo-Demon breaking many oaths.

As he prepared to leave the Slaughter Trial, Ezequiel focused on the Blood Ponds.

'If I could bring them with me, they would be of great help for the race. Unfortunately, I am far from powerful enough to break the restrictions that bind them to the dimension.' 

Although he was a little disappointed, it was not like he left with empty hands. Ezequiel had left a small part of his consciousness perceiving the Blood Ponds' magic matrices all the time he spent inside them. 

Of course, he understood nothing from them since their level was too high, but the Supreme Neo-Demon memorized the magic matrices and was confident in deciphering their principles with Hades' help.

Ezequiel's Soul Origin, Elemental Chaos, and Astral Origin erupted, raising his aura to a level the Slaughter Trial's laws perceived as a Rank 6 life form and ejected him from the secret dimension. 

Five potent Seeds of Consciousness were surrounding the entrance to the Slaughter Trial. They were in stasis mode, saving their energies, but when a fluctuation in space occurred, they acted like wild beasts and clashed in the place where it happened.

The Dukes' consciousnesses clashed, and the next second, confusion appeared in each of them. They felt resentment and rage in the others, which made them think something was wrong.

Many questions appeared in the Dukes' minds, but the most prominent one was the reason for the fluctuation in space around the Slaughter Trial's entrance.

No one acted from their side, so the only reason that came to their minds was that a demon triggered a response from the secret dimension's laws, which could only happen if that individual reached Rank 6.

A picture began to appear in the Demon Dukes' minds. Someone became a Soul Law Domain existence inside the Slaughter Trial and butchered everybody else inside.

Although it was highly unlikely something like that happened, it was not impossible.

They used their full power to explore the surroundings, but no matter who hard they tried, they detected no one. If their real bodies were here, they would have seen the man who appeared in the sky and that their consciousnesses perceived as a stream of air.

The Supreme Neo-Demon's ability to commune with the world and blend with the elements increased as his power did. It was easy for him to trick the Seeds of Consciousness the Dukes left behind.

Of course, things would have been much different if the Demon Dukes had used the full power of their souls to explore the terrain.

The moment he left the dimension, Ezequiel shot toward the ground and fused with the earth before running away. His power may allow him to face a weak Hollow Sun Domain Stage existence, but he was far from being able to defeat one, especially in his current condition.

Ezequiel's speed was impressive, and the power of Lightning Essence enhanced his existence. He headed to the closest city with a World Gate. 

The Slaughter Trial was in a very remote location. Traveling beneath the ground made it so no one could detect him, but it also affected teleportation, so even with his speed, it took an hour before the Supreme Neo-Demon reached his goal.

A city filled with hundreds of thousands of demons appeared in front of the Supreme Neo-Demon, and the elements allowed him to scan it secretly. 

'A Demon Count at the 3rd Engraving Stage, nine Rank 4 Demons, and five hundred three thousand and forty-nine lesser demons.'

Ezequiel positioned himself beneath the city's center before gathering white lightning in his fist and then clenching it. 

A wave of invisible electromagnetic energy emerged from the Supreme Neo-Demon's palm and instantly covered the entire city. It did not harm physical matter, but all the demons felt a force striking their souls. 

Every demon fell to the ground, and the light vanished from their eyes. Even the Demon Count did not escape the power of the electromagnetic wave. 

Ezequiel rose to the sky before using his consciousness to bring all the demons to him. 

Despite their condition, none of the demons were dead. Ezequiel's control over the laws and dominion over the soul allowed him to paralyze everybody.

The Supreme Neo-Demon did not pity the demons. He only kept them alive because living food had more energy than a dead one.

A black hole appeared in Ezequiel's mouth, and he began to swallow the hundred of thousands of demons.

As he satiated his hunger, the Supreme Neo-Demon's eyes narrowed as a weird feeling assaulted his Bloodline Heart. He stopped devouring the demons and focused on the distance.
