Chapter 452: Prima Universes Champion (2/2)

The Rebirth Eye glowed and absorbed the daggers. A Rank 5 Animus' Dream Dimension could store certain weapons and nurture them.

An artifact like the bone sword would not benefit from that, but the daggers worked with Mind Force and Elemental Chaos, so staying in the dimension would strengthen Zatiel's connection with them.

Zatiel spent a week in the void, making sure his body, energy, and soul were at their peak before teleporting to the World Gate and leaving the Neo-Demon Realm.

A few minutes later, the Neo-Demon found himself in front of an asteroid field in an extremely remote corner of the Prima Universe.

Trying to reach this place by using a World Gate was extremely hard. However, dozens of portals appeared every few hundred years around the universe and teleported those with an immense destiny here.

The asteroids in front of Zatiel moved so fast and with such power that even a Rank 8 life form would find it hard to move through it.

Luckily, after the Neo-Demon appeared, the asteroids diminished their power and speed. The next second, a green portal with a majestic and holy aura appeared in the center.

'Son of the Prima Universe, enter the portal if your heart is righteous and seeks peace. If you are a monster who only wants power and destruction but is willing to make an oath to defend your home, you also may enter.'

Zatiel heard those words in his mind, and the ancientness in them surpassed even his own.

The portal began to close after the voice finished speaking.

The Neo-Demon could see that the power in the asteroids was enough to harm a Rank 6 life form, and even a genius Rank 5 at the 1st Engraving Stage would find it impossible to reach the portal in time.

It would need a once-in-a-generation supreme genius to reach the portal. Someone capable of expressing a battle power an entire Rank above his current cultivation.

And even then, that person would have to use everything they had to reach the portal before the asteroids crush them. They would have to be ready to bet their life and sustain grave wounds.

Zatiel walked to the border of the asteroid field before his eyes glowed, and he used the energy stored in the All-Devouring Domain to activate the Rank 6 Shooting Star End.

He took out the bone sword, fused with his Law Avatar, initiated Doomsday Incarnation, activated the Tree of Massacre's Symbiotic Armor, and pushed the All-Devouring Domain's protective force field to the limit before flashing forward.

A black flash moved through the asteroid field, creating hundreds of bluish-purple fire explosions before reaching the green portal.

The test that would have threatened the life of an extraordinary genius did not harm the Neo-Demon's Ancestor at all.

'I guess I passed the first trial.' There was no excitement on Zatiel's face, only calmness. He deactivated his power-ups before going through the portal.

The next moment, a blinding light struck Zatiel, and he heard the ancient voice again.

'Congratulations, Prima Universe's son. Luck and destiny brought you to this place, but it was your perseverance and courage that allowed you to enter my home. I give you a formal welcome to the World Tree's Abode, where the trial to gain the title of Prima Universe's Champion takes place. If you prove yourself worthy, I, one of the first life forms to be born in this Epoch, will guide you to become the most incredible being in existence and show you a way to the all-powerful Rank 10!'

Those words would make anyone feel awe and have difficulty controlling their emotions, but the only thing they provoked in Zatiel was a smirk.
