Two flashes of light, one black and another white, traveled through the Ocean of a Thousand Wonders at a shocking speed.
Unlike most people when they journey through the monster-infested waters, Zatiel and Ezequiel did not move through the sky but deep beneath the ocean.
Using the Supreme Neo-Demon control over the Law of Space, it would have been easy for the duo to reach the Wuxuan continent by teleportation, but they had other plans in mind.
Unlike the True Soul's Path of Power, the True Doomsday Body's Path of Power required massive amounts of nutrients, and the bodies of Rank 6 Magic Creatures were an excellent source.
Ezequiel's attacks were incredibly fast and precise. He would appear in front of the Magic Creatures in an instant before softly hitting their heads, flooding their soul dimensions with Primordial Entropy Lightning, devouring their Law Essence's seeds if they were of elemental nature and killing them without harming the bodies.
Zatiel did not even have to get near the Rank 6 Magic Creatures to kill them. As long as these gargantuan beasts appeared in his field of vision, he could end their lives with a Soul Eradicator. Things were a little more complicated if they had an Inner Law Dimension, but he could still kill them pretty fast.
After that, a Tree of Massacre's branch would emerge from the Neo-Demon's body and collect the corpses.
The number of creatures they were killing was tremendous, but of course, they limit themselves to those beneath the Primary Sun Domain Stage.
While Magic Creatures tend to be weaker due to the lack of Path Techniques and inferior wisdom, they were still powerful. Zatiel and Ezequiel would have to use their trump cards and be willing to suffer severe injuries if they want to fight against those above the Hollow Sun Domain Stage.
As they advanced, a river of flames within the ocean that extended for thousands of kilometers appeared in their sight. It was the same that Zatiel saw when he first traveled to the Wuxuan continent.
Ezequiel also saw that river before, when the war in the Beta Heavenly World finished and went for a meeting with the Scientia Kingdom's King.
Back then, the phenomenon was something that shocked the young Supreme Neo-Demon. As he saw it again, a small smile appeared on his face before his aura exploded.
The sudden spike in energy drew Zatiel's attention. He saw how a mantle of white lightning covered Ezequiel's body before this one flashed forward.
The Supreme Neo-Demon was like a holy lightning spear, splitting the ocean apart before annihilating the fire river. The power was so great that the laws changed, from fire to lightning and wind.
After seeing what he did, Ezequiel began to laugh. While he maintained a calm and composed demeanor almost every waking moment, he also enjoyed showing off his might from time to time.
Zatiel said nothing about Ezequiel's childish actions and kept advancing. In the Neo-Demon's Ancestor'd mind, the goal of being strong was doing whatever the fuck you want without caring what the rest of the world thinks, and if Ezequiel wanted to show off, he could because he was powerful.
Despite the distance between the City of the Sun and the Scientia Kingdom being millions of kilometers, it did not take more than a week for the duo to reach the Wuxuan continent.
Zatiel and Ezequiel did not immediately enter the continent since the force field protecting it was too much even for them. They hovered above it for a few moments until a group of people appeared in front of them.
They were a middle-aged couple with a group of youths. They were not a mere welcoming party but the Scientia Kingdom's Royal Family!
"Teacher, you have come!" John Erick Rebellion spoke with a cheerful voice before bowing toward Zatiel along with the rest of his family.
Zatiel gave them a small smile and nodded.
Following the greeting to the King's Teacher, the younger members of the Royal Family bowed toward Ezequiel while the rest clasped their hands.
The Supreme Neo-Demon nodded to the youths before responding the courtesy to the King, Queen, Crown Prince, and Second Prince.
Before saying anything, Zatiel raised his finger and began to write runic lines in the sky. His dexterity and skill drew awe in the hearts of the younger princes and princesses.
However, John Erick Rebellion adopted a solemn aura and took a deep breath before focusing every fraction of his mind on the rune forming in the sky.
Zatiel finished the rune in a couple of minutes. Although it was magnificent, everybody felt that something was missing, but they could not figure out what.
The only one who understood the rune was the King. He gathered piercing energy in his finger before sending several slashes that destroyed almost a third of the rune Zatiel made.
While those actions surprised the others, they made the Neo-Demon smile.
What John Erick destroyed were flaws Zatiel deliberately placed in the rune. Any Rank 5 Animax Soul Runemaster should be able to detect them, but the King's decisiveness was what pleased the Neo-Demon.
Due to Zatiel mastery over the Ultimate Rune Path, even if others Animax Soul Runemaster found the mistakes, their first instincts would be that they were wrong and would hesitate to remade the rune.
John Erick Rebellion immediately remodeling the rune showed confidence in his skills that were born of hard work and dedication.
Once he erased the flaws, the King took out a Rank 6 Devil Lord's True Soul from his space ring and crushed it before using the soul force to create new runic lines.
Although John Erick's Animax Soul Runemaster's skills were inferior to those of Zatiel, they were still impressive, and in a matter of minutes, he finished the rune.
Following that, the rune glowed with a powerful light before transforming into a small rainbow-colored egg.
The egg flew on its own toward Zatiel, and after inspecting it, he spoke to the King.
"Good, you completed a Rank 6 Animax Soul Rune. Although it was a relatively easy one, your skills needed to be high enough to display 100% success with those of Rank 5, so you passed."
A prideful light appeared in John Erick's eyes when he heard those words. He worked non-stop for the past decade to fulfill Zatiel's task, achieving it with time to spare.
"Keep practicing on your own until your abilities allow you to create Peak Rank 6 Animax Soul Runes. I will then solve all your doubts and assist you in breaking to Rank 7."
Although he tried to contain it, John Erick's face showed the immense ambition and excitement in his heart. He reached the Peak Rank 6 in his cultivation long ago and could easily perform his ascension and become a Being of Laws. Still, he has been delaying things for the chance to achieve something extraordinary.
He was an undefeatable entity within the Magi World and a mighty Soul Law Domain capable of facing weak Rank 7 life forms.
However, John Erick knew he would only be above average compared with other Being of Laws if he ascended right now. After all, what Rank 7 life form was not a great genius?
The King did not fear the competition or the danger he would face after ascending to a higher stage. On the contrary, he was already tired of peace and sought those challenges, but his goal was not Rank 8 but the highest level of the Prima Universe. For that, he needed to establish a foundation capable of growing his Inner Law Dimension into a real universe.
