Chapter 559: Rank 7
Chapter 559: Rank 7
Gluttony, or more accurately Myriad, devoured billions of life forms over the last seventy-two years. The power of Zatiel's True Name and the radiation that the life inside him generated allowed him to evolve into a unique life form like nothing the Prima Universe had seen before.
The dark purple lightning-fire prime force became a part of Myriad, allowing him to display an extraordinary battle power and devour any form of energy, matter, or soul force.
Inside Myriad's prime force, there were the powers of Antimatter, Genesis Drive, Rebirth Force, Karma Power, and even the essence of the Absolute Unity Omega Law.
While devouring others was a fast way to improve your cultivation, some flaws could arise in your foundation due to the alien forces polluting your soul and body.
However, that dark purple lightning fire handled that perfectly. As it devoured every piece of an individual's existence, at the same time, it purified it leaving nothing but raw forces that one could use without repercussion.
Myriad's mind never diverted from his goal, to provide the life inside him as much food as possible, so he made sure to channel everything he devoured toward this one.
However, despite Myriad's best intentions, around a third of everything he devoured was absorbed by his body and soul before they could reach their final destination.
Thanks to the prime force Myriad grew stronger and stronger the more he devoured, as his body became larger and his soul force heightened.
Usually, Myriad would immediately start looking for another food source after finishing with the nebula. Still, he did not move as his massive body began to tremble, and his aura rose higher and higher.
Myriad's centers of power had reached Rank 7 levels a long time ago, but only after he devoured the unique forces inside the nebula that his soul, body, and energy achieved equilibrium and drove his entire existence into the next realm.
In the Prima Universe, cultivation was divided into the Three Great Realms.
The Physical Realm would be the first realm and the starting point for more than ninety-nine percent of the Prima Universe's life form. You must strengthen your physical shell and nurture your consciousness and soul in this realm.
After that came the Soul Realm. In this realm, your soul is no longer bound to your physical shell and can stand above the power of fate and natural energies.
Now you can directly strengthen your soul, so it can grow powerful enough to bear the laws' weight and slowly transform the soul dimension into an Inner Law Dimension.
At the Law Realm, your life force is strong enough to fight back the power of time, and you will never experience natural death.
The goal of this realm is to go beyond merely understanding and using the laws. You need to become a cosmic force powerful enough to fuse into the Prima Universe's matrix.
Regarding the next step in cultivation, Rank 10 or the Fourth Realm, there is not a name for it. In the Prima Universe, you only need one hand to count those who got a glimpse of it.
However, those who stood at this level should wield power above the laws, above the matrix that formed reality. That is the reason why they are so incredibly powerful.
Rank 7 is known as the Void Creator Rank, and three stages compose it, the Void Stage, Seed Stage, and Rudimentary Form Stage.
As a rule, the higher the Rank, the harder it is to jump a level in battle power. Roku and John Erick were life forms at the Peak of Soul Realm and could fight against those at the Law Ream, but that was limited to the Void Stage. Against someone at the Seed Stage, the duo could at best escape with their lives.
Myriad did not follow the True Soul Path of Power. His cultivation grew by simply devouring others and strengthening his centers of power, so Rank 7 was divided into Early Stage, Middle Stage, and Late Stage.
As Myriad entered Rank 7, his body grew larger and larger, as did his soul force. Law runes that contained the essence of the dark purple lightning-fire prime force began to engrave themselves in every piece of his existence.
The void trembled in that corner of the universe, and multicolored lines appeared in it as the law matrix manifested itself.
As any other life form that reached Rank 7, Myriad enjoyed the Prima Universe's law baptism.
Usually, the power of the Principal Laws of the Prima Universe would nurture the Inner Universe, but since Myriad did not have one, all that power fused into his body and soul.
In any other life form, the help the Prima Universe's Principal Laws would provide to the body and soul would be limited as these could only endure a finite amount of their power, but Myriad was different.
His aura became exponentially stronger, and runes containing prime force and space-time were in every piece of his body and soul.
The mantle of dark purple prime force that covered his metallic body grew extremely dense.
Myriad's advance into Rank 7 went on for forty-two hours until the Prima Universe's law matrix vanished, and his body and soul stabilized and stopped growing. He had become as large as a Low World, and his soul force equaled someone at the Seed Stage!
After his advance into Rank 7 ended, the first thing he did was to ensure that the life inside him was fine.
At the core of the metallic cocoon, protected by countless physical and magic shields, Myriad saw a dark purple membrane with a small child inside it.
The child looked around two years old, with black hair and three eyes. Although the embryonic stage went by fast, the growth became extremely slow once the body fully formed.
Myriad calmed down after seeing that Zatiel was okay but was starting to get worried about his growth. After a moment, he came with an idea and began to concentrate.
His consciousness extended into the void and began to perceive red threads.
Those were karma threads that life forms generated due to the power of causality.
After the prime force runes enhanced Myriad's soul and body, he obtained a set of unique skills such as this one.
He looked for the larger ones that only Being of Laws would be capable of generating, and after a few minutes, he found one. As he concentrated on the thread, Myriad saw a golden kingdom floating around a small world.
Immediately, killing intent appeared in Myriad's soul. He loathed Gods as he blamed them for the damage Zatiel received.. He flashed toward the golden kingdom without wasting time, bending the void to improve his speed.
