Inside the True Neo-Demon Doomsday Chamber, Zatiel, who had been unconscious for more than two months, finally woke up. An overbearing aura was released from the Neo-Demon that would make those with a weak will tremble.
This aura shared many characteristics with killing intent. However, rather than being born of the desire of a person to extinguish life, its origin was an individual's unwavering belief in themselves.
Zatiel remained silent for a moment as he analyzed his current condition.
'Excellent. A Low Star Breaker True Will from the start will save me a lot of time and allow me to focus on the other two Paths of Power. Let's start immediately with the next one.' Zatiel saw the two spheres of Primordial Essence still present in his soul dimension and focused on the blue one.
That one would carry Zatiel's consciousness and spirit essence, the True Soul.
The Magi Path, the Path of Gods, the Cultivator Path, and almost every great Path of Power that existed used the True Soul as their core since it granted the ability to reach the peak of the universe. The True Soul was widely accepted as the best path when it comes to developing comprehension of the laws in the universe, and one that was gifted by the Universe Will to all those who had achieved a connection with the laws with their own power.
Many magic scholars had research why the True Soul can grant such an amazing insight over the fundamental forces of the universe. A common theory is that due to the True Soul containing the consciousness, it enhanced it and allowed it to reach a higher level of perception.
Even the Incarnation of Death and Destruction with the help of the baernaloths was not able to improve the core of the Path of Power concerning the True Soul. However, they were able to use their unique properties to develop an ability that not only would increase the speed of a Neo-Demon comprehension of the laws but also grant them an unmatched survival skill, the Soul Seeds.
Unlike the True Will that had much more malleable properties due to its containing something so susceptible to change as the will of an individual, Zatiel could not use elemental chaos to enhance the True Soul's power.
Under the guidance of the Omega Law, the blue Primordial Essence was tempered and finally formed a blue humanoid that was the perfect copy of Zatiel.
This was Zatiel's True Soul. Immediately once its formation was completed, the Neo-Demon felt an immense power originating from every aspect of his existence.
His consciousness became more than one hundred times larger and compact, and instead of Abyss Aura, it was now filled with Elemental Chaos. Not only his scanning abilities were highly enhanced, but it now could mobilize greater amounts of energy much faster.
Zatiel's body was also improved, and although it was not as impressive as the growth of his consciousness, it still became almost two times stronger, and its full potential was unlocked. This change allowed his Law bloodline to grant his body special characteristics.
Unlike other True Souls, the one of a Neo-Demon had three black seeds in it. One was in the part of the body known as dantian, the second one was at the level of the heart, and the last one was at the forehead, between the eyebrows.
Only the outline of the Soul Seeds was present, and none of them were truly formed yet.
A Neo-Demon could once again take advantage of the presence of the Omega-Law and the high quantity of elemental chaos in their bodies to nurture the first Soul Seed. This process was also painful, but due to Zatiel's True Will being at the Star Breaker Rank, his resistance to pain had increased by a factor of fifteen.
While before, the Neo-Demon would endure such great agony that he would lose control of his body, now it felt almost like a headache.
After seventeen days of feeding, the first Soul Seed was finally completed. Although Zatiel was able to take even more elemental chaos, unfortunately, the pressure each Soul Seed generated on the True Soul is immense, and having more than one solidified inside it was not possible.
They must also be used before an advance to the next Rank since they can't endure the qualitative change a True Soul experienced once an individual reached the next level as a life form if they are solidified.
Zatiel did not let his new power distract him and proceed to focus on the last sphere of Primordial Essence.
This black Primordial Essence shared a metaphysical connection with his body and life force.
The body is one of the three great centers of power a life form possesses, and the number of Paths of Power that focus on it was uncountable, but the truth is that even the best of them reached their limit at the beginning of Rank 7.
The Titan Path, despite originating in the race with one of the greatest bodies that exist in the universe, still used the True Soul as their core.
However, the Path of Power this black Primordial Essence would create was different, it took the body as the core, and just like the True Soul, it could allow a life form to reach the peak of the universe.
A Neo-Demon could focus solely on this path and disregard their True Soul, and they would still be capable of facing Beings of Laws without a problem.
The black Primordial Essence would become the True Doomsday Body.
The first step in this Path of Power is to decide what type of True Doomsday Body one would want. There was a myriad of types from which a Neo-Demon could choose, and all of them granted unique special abilities.
There was no True Doomsday Body that was better than the others, and their power depended on how well you could adapt its abilities to your battle style.
The one Zatiel chose was the Absolute Solar Yang True Doomsday Body. This True Doomsday Body allowed the user to generate and compact all types of flames and also use the yang properties of those flames to increase the body's strength, weight, and hardness.
Once it is developed to a high enough level, someone with an Absolute Solar Yang True Doomsday Body could even burn the laws.
Once he had chosen, Zatiel sent the command, and the Omega Law transformed the black Primordial Essence into the Absolute Solar Yang True Doomsday Body.
Soon a black humanoid that shared Zatiel's figure appeared in the soul dimension.
The moment the True Doomsday Body was formed, Zatiel felt his physical power skyrocket, and the temperature of his skin reached a level so high that it could burn magma.
However, things were not over yet, since the Neo-Demon needed to implement the training system of the True Doomsday Body, the Nine Apocalyptic Star Heavens.
The Nine Apocalyptic Star Heavens, as their name indicated, were dimensions a Neo-Demon would build inside his body that could contain stars.
There were five fixed heavens that were the same for all Neo-Demon and four that the individual could choose according to his preferences. These heavens were built in the True Doomsday Body, and once enough energy was given to them, they would create a dimension in the corresponding part of the Neo-Demon's body
The heavens were also divided into Unique Heavens and Twin Heavens. Both could only contain a single star, but Twin Heavens were able to divide the power those stars would grant into two points, which would be helpful for organs like the lungs, kidneys, and in the case of Neo-Demons, hearts.
The five fixed heavens were located in the stomach, liver, lungs, hearts, and brain. Three of them were Unique Heavens, and two were Twin Heavens.
Once the heavens were developed completely, and the dimensions inside the Neo-Demon's body were able to seal stars, those organs would obtain all kinds of supernatural abilities.
In the black humanoid inside the soul dimension, seven white dots were formed.
'My Eye of Life and Creation is a significant part of my power, and the other two are not in any way inferior, especially my right eye. It is fundamental for each of them to obtain a Unique Heaven so they can evolve to an even higher form.' Zatiel focused on the True Doomsday Body, and another three white appeared.
Only one heaven was left to be determined, and the Neo-Demon did not rush his decision. After a lot of thinking, Zatiel decided what would be the best possible location.
'I have obtained some of the unique characteristics of the Shooting Star bloodline, and it would be a shame not to take advantage of them. By forming a Twin Heaven in the True Doomsday Body's knees, my body would be able to display an incredible speed once a star is sealed in them.'
And just like that, the two final dots of light appeared in the Absolute Solar Yang True Doomsday Body.
Zatiel had now the possibility of feeding the first heaven before the power of the Omega Law vanished.
Each heaven inside the True Doomsday Body must be nurtured to make the dimension appear in the body of the Neo-Demon. The stronger those dimensions were, the more powerful would be the stars they could contain.
Once the first star is sealed inside the Neo-Demon, it would nurture this one's body and the next heaven, making the second dimension capable of developing even more and so on. This meant that the three first heavens would be the weakest, and the last three would be the strongest.
The Neo-Demon chose the heaven corresponding to the stomach as the one to be developed first. The Omega Law sent the elemental chaos into the True Doomsday Body, and slowly Zatiel felt like a huge dimension began to appear inside him.
Nine days after that, a dimension capable of containing a celestial body appeared inside the stomach of the Neo-Demon.
Once it fulfilled its purpose, the Omega Law disappeared from the True Neo-Demon Doomsday Chamber.
Inside Zatiel's soul dimension, the Neo-Demon's True Will released a powerful pressure that reached the True Soul and True Doomsday Body, making these two positioned themselves beneath him, one to the right and the other to the left.
An aura that could crush mountains and dry oceans was released from Zatiel. He had finally completed his advance to Rank 4.
