The battles in the endless sky of the Universe Breaking World carried on. Although each genius had a talent that granted them a path to Extreme Rank 9, they were still far from figuring out the key to surpassing the last of the Nine Sacred Samsara Worlds.
Noah, Beelzebub, Athea, Sirik, and all the others were doing all they could to understand the essence of the Ninth Sacred Samsara World, but nothing they did worked. Meditating did not work, and fighting with all their power did not make things easier.
There must be a way to understand the essence of the Universe Breaking World, but none of the tricks and clues they picked up in the eight previous Sacred Samsara Worlds did anything to help them.
Some geniuses chose to avoid a battle for the moment and explore the confines of this world. Unfortunately, everything remained the same no matter how far they went.
The world was not a trick. What the geniuses saw was what they got, an endless sky.
Noah and Beelzebub had battled for days, and the expression on the duo could not be worse. They were the first to arrive at the Universe Breaking World, getting extremely close to being the winner of the Nine Sacred Samsara Worlds. Still, due to their inability to understand the world's essence and core idea, twenty other geniuses had already appeared.
The Neo-Demon and Depravita focused the full power of their souls and minds on figuring out the essence of the world, but none of them could come up with an answer.
Noah clenched his teeth as he blocked Beelzebub's spear. He went through his experiences in the previous Sacred Samsara Worlds one more time to see if he was missing something that could help him with the Universe Breaking World when a flash of enlightenment appeared in his eyes.
'Focusing on how things worked before. Taking the path that people lay down for me.'
The sense of enlightenment in Noah's eyes grew stronger as he finally understood something.
'I am wrong!'
Noah struck his spear forward with all his strength pushing Beelzebub back before roaring.
"¡AHHHHHH!"
A pillar of energy emerged from his body as he unleashed everything inside him before flashing up.
Beelzebub was confused, as were the other geniuses that looked at Noah. They thought he planned to interfere with another fight for a second, but he ignored everyone and kept rising.
There was nothing above them but more sky, so the geniuses could not understand what Noah was doing. Many of them had already explored that area, so there was no point in going there.
Everybody thought Noah's attempt would be futile, but then it happened. As he rose higher and higher, his energy began to grow!
Noah was already unleashing everything from the beginning, so a rise in his energy could only mean that the restriction this world put on him was weakening!
All the geniuses were confused as they did not understand what was happening. Some even rose, trying to imitate Noah, but it did not work.
Noah did not say a word and kept rising, with his energy output increasing by the second. His eyes were bloodshot, and blood leaked from his eyes and mouth as he burned his soul force and life force.
Finally, when he felt the force suppressing his energy vanish completely, he attacked with his spear using everything inside him.
"CRACK!"
The sound of space breaking echoed across the entire world, and everybody saw how Noah shattered the sky before him and vanished.
Shock and awe filled the hearts of all the geniuses in the Universe Breaking World when they saw that. Beelzebub was just as amazed as the others but also incredibly frustrated.
From the second Beelzebub opened his eyes and started his life as a Depravita, he had known no failure.
However, today, on the highest stage for the Daybreak Universe's geniuses, where he was supposed to shine and show the universe his might, he learned the meaning of defeat.
Beelzebub clenched his fists, and rage emerged in his face. Depravita were susceptible to their emotions, which is why they trained to master them before leaving the Depravita Sacred Mountain.
Venganza, Codica, and Orgullo focused on the young Depravita genius with solemn expressions as they perceived the emotions in his soul. Usually, Depravitas suffer all sorts of setbacks across their lives in their home, allowing them to control their feelings. Nevertheless, Beelzebub was a special case since there was no one in his generation that could challenge him until now.
"BOOM!" A blast echoed across the sky as a pillar of Depravita Aura emerged from Beelzebub's body.
The geniuses turned from the shocking sight in the sky toward Beelzebub, whose aura became evil and chaotic. They understood the state of the Depravita, so everybody just moved away from him to avoid conflict.
The Depravita glanced back at those geniuses with killing intent but did not move.
Beelzebub took a deep breath as he mobilized those raging emotions. Negating or suppressing them was not the right path. He needed to allow them to flow through his soul and body, making them his strength.
Venganza, Codicia, and Orgullo smiled when they saw Beelzebub's behavior as it brought them memories. Although their experiences were different, it was in defeat that they were able to rise above their limit and become what they are now.
For them, Beelzebub learning that lesson so soon was even better than him becoming the winner of the First Samsara Tournament.
Just as the rest of the geniuses were wondering what would happen with Beelzebub, this one opened his eyes. A smile appeared on his face, and still bathed in evil and chaotic energy, he flashed at full speed down.
The shock of the rest of the geniuses only increased since, just like with Noah, the suppression over the Depravita's energy began to weaken.
"¡AHHH!"
Beelzebub roared as he channeled all his energy on the tip of his spear, shattering the sky beneath him and vanishing from the world.
