Chapter 945 The Last Few Minutes (I)
The phantom yin-yang diagram with the powers of Chaos Force and the Concept of Order grew more prominent as the forces inside clashed repeatedly. The very core of their nature, with one origin in the Law Path and the other in the Concept Path, made it unstable.
Yet, like inside Beelzebub's body, the Chaos Force and Concept of Order inside the diagram achieved balance, making their combined power much greater than the sum of their parts.
Beelzebub's eyes widened as focus returned to them, as the power of the Chaos and Order generated a qualitative improvement in every particle of his existence.
The Sacred Kings could see the internal transformation of the young Depravita, and awe appeared in their hearts. Beelzebub was generating a new force that would allow him to embark on a path that belonged to him and him alone and whose potential stood a level above the Nine Sacred Inheritance left behind by the Samsara Thearch!
Venganza and Ezequiel were able to see even more due to the power of their souls and cultivation. A hint of omnipotent power emerged from that Chaos and Order phantom, as it went a level above simply using Laws and Concepts simultaneously.
However, the Emptiness Thearch and Revenge Thearch frowned when they perceived the instability of the phantom behind Beelzebub.
Its power was beyond incredible, but the young Depravita was too young to sustain it. The instability of the phantom would only grow stronger, making it shatter before Beelzebub attained true control over it.
Beelzebub's evolution was very important for Ezequiel and Venganza, which is why they would not hesitate to intervene and help this one, even if he was in the middle of a fight.
Unfortunately, while the Emptiness Thearch and Revenge Thearch mastered a Truth and Eternal Flame, respectively, they were not authorities in the fusion of the Law Path and Concept Path.
The only path ahead was to stop the advance of the young Depravita so this one would not end up wounded by the backlash, but then storm clouds appeared in the sky.
All life forms in the Daybreak Sector turned to the sky as they saw a massive storm with purple arcs of lightning containing the presence of the Universe Will.
"¡BOOM!"
Before even the Thearchs could react, a massive arc of purple lightning fell from the sky and slammed directly into Beelzebub, sending him crashing into the ground.
Confusion and shock assaulted the hearts of the people in the coliseum and all those watching from across the Daybreak Universe. They did not understand the origin of those arcs of purple lightning or why they would crash into Beelzebub's body when this one was going through such a critical point of his cultivation.
People turned toward the crater on the arena left by Beelzebub's crash, and they heard a burst of laughter that reached all the way into the sky.
"¡HAHAHAHAHA!"
Beelzebub's figure was bloody, and there was an exhausted expression on his face, but the smile on his face would not fade. He felt how those arcs of purple lightning were born of the same power he sought to master.
That lightning was the embodiment of the fusion of the almighty Eternal Flame of Justice and the Samsara Truth. The first granted equilibrium to a chaotic existence by destroying evil and raising virtue, while the second gave balance to creation and destruction.
¡More!"
Beelzbub's shouted, and the next second, another massive arc of purple lighting fell from the sky and collided with his body. And that was just the start since they descended from the sky one after another.
Beelzebub was on all fours on the ground as blood fell from his mouth, but he would not allow it to stop. Every arc he endured helped his Chaos-Order Eternal Diagram grow more stable.
If he gave up now, the diagram would shatter, and it would take a long time before he could summon its power again.
After thirty-two arcs of purple lightning collided with Beelzebub, the storm clouds covering the entire Daybreak Sector began concentrating in a small area above the coliseum.
Beelzebub was able to rise from the ground now that the arcs of lighting stopped, and when he looked to the sky, he saw how the storm clouds slowly took the form of an eye.
Ezequiel and Venganza also stared at the eye in the sky, and the soul aura and wisdom they felt in it was too powerful and complex for it only to be a manifestation of the Universe Will.
Both Thearchs looked at each other and came to the same conclusion but did not say a word since it was better to remain quiet until being sure.
The young Depravita genius showed a fierce and bloody smile as he took out his spear and generated a blast of gray and white aura to emerge from it.
"I am ready!"
It was as if the eye on the sky was waiting for Beelzebub's words since the next second, an arc of purple lightning more than ten times larger than the previous ones fell from the sky.
"¡AHHHHH!"
Beelzebub roared as he unleashed every iota of power in his body and soul as he faced the arc of purple lightning. He used all the power of his Chaos and Order to confront Justice and Samsara falling from the sky.
"BOOOOMMMMMMM!"
A massive explosion of lightning and fire spread across the arena as the spear and lightning clashed, with neither wanting to admit defeat.
Beelzebub clenched his teeth, his muscles bulged, and he put all he had into that spear thrust.
The power of the Chaos-Order Eternal Diagram only grew stronger as Beelzebub faced that purple lightning.
Finally, the Chaos-Order Eternal Diagram's power reached its zenith, and the massive phantom the size of a city began to compress until it was no larger than an apple and fused into Beelzbub's forehead.
Gray and white runes carrying the powers of Chaos and Order emerged in the right and left eye, while flames of the same color set his wings ablaze.
That was just on the outside as the changes in his soul were much more significant, and a flash of absolute enlightenment covered Beelzebub's face.
Beelzbub's fierce smile grew calm as he let go of his spear and used his bare hands to face the purple lightning. He no longer had to fight against that destructive force and was able to make it rotate around his body before sending it back into the sky.
Peace and clarity filled Beelzebub's mind as the Chaos-Order Eternal Diagram had fused into his existence. He was still very far from achieving the realm of the Samsara Thearch and still needed to evolve his Law and Concept into Truth and Eternal Flame, but right now, he took the first step into a path that could allow him to stand in the highest echelon of the known multiverse.
However, all that peace faded and was replaced with anxiety as Beelzebub felt his rising soul force and knew he could not stop it. Integrating the Chaos-Order Eternal Diagram into his existence pushed his cultivation to a higher stage.
The divine lucky chance and improvements almost made Beelzebub forget that he was in the middle of a fight, and the cultivation limit was Rank 7, which he would break through in a matter of minutes.
"What are you waiting for!?"
Aion shouted as he adopted a battle stance. He had waited patiently for the Depravita to finish that impressive evolution, but now this one would be disqualified after rising to Rank 8, so they needed to act fast and end their fight.
The fact that he could very well lose this fight now that Beelzebub had mastered that incredible power did not make him nervous. The sole reason Aion chose to participate in this tournament despite knowing it would reveal his identity to the universe was to fight people who could push him beyond his limit.
Beelzebub perceived the fighting spirit in Aion's eyes and did not hesitate before summoning back his spear and making his energy explode to its limit before flashing toward the Neo-Demon, ready to kill this one before advancing to Rank 8.
The power of Chaos covered Beelzebub's body, hiding his presence and increasing the might of his Depravita Aura. And at the same time, Order condensed his energy, making it purer and stronger while altering the world around him, forcing space-time to make him faster and imbue his weapon with greater power.
Aion's eyes narrowed as he saw the speed at which that flaming spear came at him. It moved faster than his eyes could see, and without hesitation, he followed his instincts and closed his eyes.
Beelzebub knew that his Chaos would hide him from Aion's supernatural perception, so he did not understand why this one would close his eyes. Still, he did not let those thoughts cloud his mind and unleashed a spear strike that carried an unpredictable pattern, aiming directly at Aion's throat.
