Ezequiel's aura kept rising higher and higher as the ten Suns of Origin morphed his entire existence.
Return to Origin was a technique all those with the Primordial Bloodline had access to. Upon forming ten Silver Stars of Origin, your body would be able to express the full power of the Gu's Inheritance, their bloodline's origin. That meant flesh and muscles as resilient as a Peak Rank 9 Artifact and blood that could purge almost any harmful energy beneath the Fourth Realm.
However, the Suns of Origin technique was not named Return to Origin but Return to Emptiness.
Once that tenth majestic heavenly body materialized, Ezequiel awoke his Emptiness Constitution. That meant a body that could equal a newly born Rank 10 Lord of Emptiness!
The Heavenly Empress was possibly the mightiest Primordial ever to be born, with her understanding of her bloodline and the power of the universe around her reaching a supreme level, to the point she was able to awaken some of the Pan Inheritance on her own.
In her last moment of life, Yami channeled all her comprehension along with her soul into her ten mutated Silver Star of Origin and infused all their power into Ezequiel. That allowed him to form the ninth and tenth Sun of Origin, achieving a battle power that surpassed the limits of Rank 9!
The Emptiness Constitution not only fixed any flaw in Ezequiel's True Doomsday Body Path of Power but also improved his Emptiness Path of Power to Middle Rank 9, almost nearing the Late Stage.
Chrollo could not hide the shock that assaulted his soul. He still remembered the time he first interacted with the Supreme Neo-Demon. Back then, this one could only hide from him, but now it was he who was not a match.
The Empyrean Primordials' Leader's eyes narrowed as he remembered something and stared at Ezequiel's previous location. He clenched his fist as he saw the condition of his comrade, but in the end, he could only sight.
Ares' body stood straight, and there were no wounds on his body, but his head was nowhere to be seen. The blood patterns on the ground made it clear that something with incredible power landed on it and blew it up.
The Flame Imperator couldn't care less about Ares' fate, and his focus was solely on Ezequiel as he attempted to discern this one's true power. A vicious light appeared in his eyes as he saw that the Supreme Neo-Demon's Body Core of Existence and Energy Core of Existence had evolved to Rank 10, and the Soul Core of Existence was already in the process of evolution.
Usually, for a life form to begin evolving its Core of Existences and be considered an Extreme Rank 9 existence, it must first reach Peak Rank 9 in a Path of Power, but cultivation was not so rigid.
Unique life forms with incredibly powerful bloodlines or innate gifts like Venganza, Ezequiel, and Zatiel could evolve their Core of Existence before any Paths of Power reached Peak Rank 9. They just need to develop their centers of power beyond the limits of the Law Realm.
In Venganza's case, his Depravita Path of Power was still at the early stage of Late Rank 9, but his Energy, Body, and Concept Core of Existence had already evolved to Rank 10.
Ezequiel achieved the battle power to stand at the highest stage of the Ultimate Multiversal War, the strength to face the Neo-Demon Ancestor's final enemy. That had been his life's goal since childhood, but there was no happiness in his heart.
He had already lost friends and brothers in this war, and the sorrow for Yami's death reached the core of his soul. There was no room for happiness in his heart, only monstrous slaughter intent!
The desire to rush to the Flame Imperator almost overcame the Supreme Neo-Demon's reason, but his powerful Late Rank 9 True Will allowed him to remain sane. Only after Venganza and Lucifer reached his side did he let his desire to kill run wild.
"BOOM!" A blast of killing intent, golden aura, and black-white lightning emerged from Ezequiel's body. They grew more potent by the second as he began to burn his body's cells without restraint to increase his power.
"I will take the front. Use any opening to attack with all your power. If you see a chance to kill him, take it, even if it means killing me."
Venganza and Lucifer nodded. The Supreme Neo-Demon's body was the strongest of the trio and could instantly heal from any damage as long there was enough energy, so it made sense for him to take the lead.
Lucifer took a deep breath as he channeled every ounce of life force left in his body into his Unyielding Truth. Before his body could crumble due to the lack of vitality, he directed his Truth's power into his bloodstream, making his battle power burst.
That would allow the Champion of Justice and Order to fight with an even greater battle power for the next hour, but he would die once the Unyielding Truth loses its fuel.
"BOOM!" Another blast appeared in the sky as white force overflowed Lucifer's body.
Venganza's eyes narrowed as he saw how the Supreme Neo-Demon and the Champion of Justice and Order were ready to bet everything during the next clash. A flash of resolve crossed his face, and he began using his soul and life force to fuel the Eternal Flame of Revenge.
"BOOM!" Finally, a dark blast with a red nucleus embodying the might of the Eternal Flame of Revenge emerged in the sky.
Ezequiel and Lucifer were surprised by Venganza's actions as they knew this one had no reason to fight to the death for the Prima Universe due to animosity between Sundered Night and the Universe Will. The duo did not question the Depravita of Revenge's motivation as the time for words was already over.
The pillars in the sky ignited the fighting will of the Prima Universe's warriors.
"¡AHHH!"
"¡AHHH!"
"¡AHHH!"
One after another, they began to burn their life force and soul force at full power. They fought for something greater than themselves and were ready to die to achieve victory, even if they could not enjoy it.
The Flame Imperator's wrath reached its zenith as an extremely evil aura emerged from his body and flooded the sky. A black and putrefactive liquid covered his mangled left arm, transforming it into a giant claw.
He no longer bothered to hide his nature and only wanted to kill the trio in front of him before devouring the entire Prima Universe.
