Abyssal Lord of the Magi World

Despite the fact their advance into Rank 7 was all but secure now, Zatiel and Ezequiel still had a solemn expression. The reason was that other than forming their Astral Black Holes, they planned to take advantage of the rainbow ocean to carry on with their unique paths. 

First, the True Doomsday Bodies inside the Infinity Hearts used their power to channel nine streams from the rainbow ocean, each one entering an Apocalyptic Star.

Those streams of electromagnetic energy generate a qualitative change in the Apocalyptic Stars, fusing the heavenly bodies with the dodecahedron containing them. The new structures would put the Neo-Demons' bodies under extreme pressure, and if they had not already entered Rank 7, they would have crippled them.

Once they made sure that the evolution of the Apocalyptic Stars into Astral Black Holes went smoothly and that the black humanoids could carry it on without any guidance from their part, Zatiel and Ezequiel looked at each other and nodded.

Zatiel's eyes glowed as a monstrous amount of Virtual Force emerged from him, and he drew a new stream of electromagnetic energy from the rainbow ocean. It was almost ten times thicker than the others, and its target was the Virtual Dream Core.

On the other hand, Ezequiel unleashed a monstrous bloodline force. He drew a stream of electromagnetic energy from the rainbow ocean into his Bloodline Heart, specifically into the arc of white lightning that embodied his Primordial Bloodline.

The Neo-Demon Ancestor felt that his brain was burning, and he was not wrong. Once the electromagnetic energy entered the Virtual Dream Core, this one funneled it into the channels and crystalized vortexes coming from it. 

Those hundreds of thousands of channels, each with hundreds of crystalized vortexes, began to melt along with the interior of Zatiel's brain, transforming it into a void.

Due to the endurance of Zatiel's brain after ascending into Rank 7, the Virtual Dream Core was forced to send a much higher level of energy into the channels to fulfill the evolution. Despite this causing him to endure this procedure's pain for a more extended period of time, the Neo-Demon could not be happier. 

His Paths of Power were in perfect synergy, with each augmenting the strength and solidifying the foundation of the others.

Unlike Zatiel's face that depicted pain, Ezequiel showed complete calm. The Supreme Neo-Demon was not triggering the evolution of a Path of Power, but a unique ability granted by his Primordial Bloodline.

When Ezequiel's bloodline and soul reached the mark of Rank 4, he obtained access to the use of World Strength, eyes that could see the Flawed Universe, and skill with the name of Nine Primordial Steps. Now that he reached Rank 7, he could start training a new ability.

His bloodline granted him all the information about this ability when he reached the Limit Rank 6 in the True Soul and True Doomsday Body Paths of Power. Still, he couldn't train it until becoming an existence at the Law Realm.

The ability's name was Return to Origin, and the goal was to form a Pre-Epoch Body. As for what a Pre-Epoch Body was, in simple terms, it was a body that could endure the environment outside the Cosmic Wall.

To initiate the formation of your Pre-Epoch Body, you needed two things. First was a mighty force that contained the essence of the three great forces that gave birth to matter, soul, and energy. The rainbow ocean left from the Divinity World's explosion was perfect for it. 

It would not be hard to find a force like that for a powerful life form, but the second requirement was incredibly challenging. Ezequiel needed to trigger a response from his Primordial Bloodline's essence. And the only way to do that was displaying his understanding of the Inner Self and Outer World.

Inner Self and Outer World were vague terms, and Ezequiel did not obtain a detailed description from his bloodline's memories, but he did learn something. 

The Inner Self was your body, soul, energy. It was how these three formed your existence and how they connected through a perfect bond.

As for the Outer World, it was the universe, the laws, and the myriad of forces that evolved through the eons and gave birth to reality.

Ezequiel's Primordial Bloodline always guided him to these concepts. His Law of Inner Force and Law of Strength oriented him about Inner Self. Although it did not directly teach him laws related to the Outer World, the bloodline allowed him to steal the comprehension of others related to the Elemental Laws and Space-Time Laws.

Unfortunately, even if he were to push each of those laws to the Origin Essence level, it would not be enough to grasp even the most basic level of Inner Self and Outer World. That alone should be enough to figure out how hard it was to practice Return to Origin and form a Pre-Epoch Body. 

One needed divine talent and to be incredibly hard-working to practice Return to Origin. 

If there was one thing Ezequiel did not lose to anyone was in his determination to grow stronger. And his hard work paid off in the form of two unique Origin Essence.

In the Supreme Neo-Demon's Inner Law Dimension, there were several Origin Essences. 

Thanks to his hundreds of years of life and death battles during Zatiel's absence, he was able to develop his Law of Inner Force Law, Law of Strength along with the Elemental Laws and Space-Time Laws to the Origin Essence level. Still, even all of them together could not even compare to the red and blue Origin Essences that shone like suns inside the Inner Law Dimension.

The red embodied the essence of your existence and granted Ezequiel's the ability to view every cell as a world, fully excavating his potential. At the same time, the blue focused on the universe, a way to understand anything outside his existence. 

Those two were the Inner Origin Essence and Outer Origin Essence. 

Inner Origin Essence and Outer Origin Essence were not inferior to Beginning Origin Essence, End Origin Essence, Cause Origin Essence, or Effect Origin Essence. 

One would not be wrong to say that the Primordial Bloodline pushed to the limit could match the Alpha-Omega Samsara King Bloodline regarding the body center of power, but it still fell way behind the energy and soul. 

Ezequiel was aware of how monstrously strong Zatiel became after returning from the gates of death and that the difference in their power grew by a significant level. Before, while the Neo-Demon Ancestor surpassed his mastery over the soul, he rose higher in the mastery over the body, but now their physical strength was at the same level.

The Supreme Neo-Demon was not foolish enough to think he could equal Zatiel with just hard work. After all, both of them were equally committed to their cultivation. 

There was no way he could match Zatiel's mastery over the soul at this point, but what he could do was focus all his power on the body, to find once again a chance to rise higher.. He knew the path would not be easy, but that did not weaken his battle spirit.
