Abyssal Lord of the Magi World

chapter-427
The Neo-Demon Realm's void contained countless stars. The weakest had equal energy to a Soul Forging existence, and the strongest surpassed even the immortal Rank 7 life forms.
There was a flaming star whose power was far from comparable to the mightiest stars in the Neo-Demon Realm, but its power was hundreds of times greater than a Tier 1 Star.
This red star's diameter was more than one thousand kilometers. It would not be hard for it to contain more energy than a Rank 6 life form after a few more hundreds of years nourishing in elemental chaos.
Its flames were dark red, and they were not a manifestation of the Law of Fire but the ancient and always present Yang Law.
The fire it generated did not originate from burning materials or oxygen but from a highly complex process where atoms fuse into a heavier compound and release immense amounts of energy.In essence, the Tier 6 Star's flames were like those in a sun's core, capable of completely annihilate matter, allowing them to show a force hundred if not thousands of times more potent than the mightiest mortal flame.
Suddenly, a cosmic force created a white whirlwind above this giant flaming star, which started to swallow the heavenly body.
In a minute, the white whirlwind fulfilled its job and transported the Tier 6 Star to the Twin Heaven connected to a Neo-Demon's hearts.
Ezequiel was in a meditative position above the metallic city. A solemn expression appeared on his face when he perceived the red sphere that appeared in his Elemental Chaos Heart and Bloodline Heart.
The Supreme Neo-Demon did not hesitate before moving his True Will from the soul dimension to the Twin Heaven, which contained the Tier 6 Star and transformed the Primordial Entropy Lightning into a membrane to cover his hearts.
The white whirlwind began to crystallize, but the sealing process advanced less than ten percent when the Tier 6 Star trembled and unleashed a heatwave that could instantly melt a Peak Rank 4 life form.
Ezequiel understood that the Star Consciousness woke up and wanted to regain its freedom. His True Will's eyes shone with coldness and disdain before flashing into the star and reaching its core.The True Will appeared in a vast dimension, and the first thing he saw was an enormous fierce bear-like creature with twelve flaming wings.
The golden humanoid entered the Tier 6 Star's soul dimension to fight its consciousness. The terrain favored the Star Consciousness, but it was the only way to stop the heavenly body from unleashing attacks that could harm the Supreme Neo-Demon's hearts.
Ezequiel's True Will reached the Middle Star Breaker Rank, which could translate to Late Rank 5 in the other Paths of Power. That strength was more than enough to defeat a Tier 4 Star instantly, but a Tier 6 Star's soul force could compare with a Peak Rank 5 life form!
The Supreme Neo-Demon saw how the Star Consciousness was weakened by the millions of years of slumbering and understood he needed to defeat it before it could fully wake up.
A golden palm struck the winged bear's head and sent it flying away. Before the creature could regain control of his body, the golden humanoid appeared beneath its belly and unleashed a series of deadly kicks.
"AAARGH!" The Star Consciousness screamed due to the pain. It could barely understand what was happening, but its instincts told it that its life was in danger and needed to fight.
A massive claw neared the golden humanoid, but it lacked technique and speed, so he was able to dodge it with relative ease before connecting a kick into the Star Consciousness' neck.
The True Will wanted to continue his attack, but another claw attacked him, and this time he wasn't able to dodge it. The golden humanoid lost his left arm, but it instantly regenerated, and he flashed toward the Star Consciousness.
A True Will could instantly regenerate any physical damage by consuming his energy. However, there was a limit to how much the Neo-Demon could withstand since injuries in the golden humanoid were dozens of times more painful than soul wounds.
Ezequiel's face contorted in pain, and he clenched his fist so hard that blood filled his palms, but his resolution did not waver despite the pain.
The fight carried on for more than ten minutes, and the Supreme Neo-Demon could not stop trembling while blood fell from his eyes, ears, and nose. The agony was so immense that it almost made him lose consciousness more than once, but in the end, he resisted and ended up victorious.
Inside the Tier 6 Star's soul dimension, the winged bear's broken body slowly decomposed into fragments while the True Will stood straight with his iconic prideful stare.
Now that his job was over, the golden humanoid left the Twin Heaven and returned to the Supreme Neo-Demon's soul dimension, where he took his place above the True Will and True Doomsday Body as the supreme ruler.
There was no visible damage on the True Will, but Ezequiel knew that he would need to wait for at least a few months before the golden humanoid fully healed, not to mention the fight left almost no energy in him.
The Supreme Neo-Demon poured Origin Power into the True Will as he waited for his headache to calm down.
Without the Star Consciousness stopping the sealing, the crystallization carried on. After a few hours, a red dodecahedron appeared inside the Bloodline Heart and Elemental Chaos Heart.
Ezequiel's eyes widened, and an expression of satisfaction appeared on his face as the new Apocalyptic Star filled his body with dense Astral Origin and fragments of Yang Laws fused into his hearts.
The changes in his organs and the feeling of growing stronger pushed the pain away and allowed the Supreme Neo-Demon to calm down.
The Apocalyptic Star also helped the True Doomsday Body, as fragments of the consciousness of a Tier 6 Star fused into him, enhancing his foundation and power-
After finishing transforming his hearts and improving his Astral Origin, Ezequiel would officially become a Rank 5 Neo-Demon.
Unfortunately, due to him jumping a Tier, the stress the new Apocalyptic Star generated in his body will force him to remain in seclusion for at least a couple of months. It would be much longer if it weren't for the Primordial Bloodline and Primordial Entropy Lightning helping his constitution.
The Supreme Neo-Demon could do nothing about the handicap on his battle power but did not really bother him. From the beginning, he planned to take some time after finishing this mission to improve his abilities as Magic Creator.
'Since I already reached the limit of Rank 4 in my True Soul's Path of Power, and it will not interfere with the advance of my True Doomsday Body, I may as well become a Law Engraving existence.'
Ezequiel never liked wasting time, so as his hearts evolved and Astral Origin increased, he also decided to reach Rank 5 in the True Soul's Path of Power.
The Supreme Neo-Demon's Soul Origin was extraordinarily dense and pure due to the constant tempering and solid foundation. Since he already reached the peak of the Fifth Origin Cycle, he needed to use the power of the laws to compress this Soul Origin and change its nature to advance to Rank 5.
It would take a couple of weeks for the compression to be over, but there were no dangers. Ezequiel should reach Rank 5 in both the True Soul and True Doomsday Body's Paths of Power in less than a month.
