Chapter 727: A face from the past
It had been more than two hundred years since Venganza returned to the Neo-Demon Realm and began his recovery. The Depravita kept his word and no longer devoured any world’s vitality but did draw the Elemental Chaos that covered the realm non-stop.
From a distance, one could see an apocalyptic tornado of Elemental Chaos entering a world whose final destination was the Depravita’s mouth.
Other than healing from his wounds, Venganza also improved his cultivation. His True Soul Path of Power had already reached the Peak Rudimentary Form Stage!
To advance from the Seed Stage to the Rudimentary Form Stage, one only needed a powerful Inner Universe’s origin and mastery over laws capable of giving birth to the framework of a structure like a world or plane.
That framework was the first step in creating your Prime Structure. It took the Inner Universe’s origin as its nucleus and was fundamental in a life form’s mastery over the laws and forces.
A Primarch’s Inner Universe was equal to ten percent of the Prima Universe’s size, but that did not mean they would create a structure that would take all that space. If they were to do so, their universes would collapse.
Usually, one would create a Prime Structure that would occupy ten percent of your Inner Universe. It would protect the universe’s origin and enhance the energy coming from it before sending it into the void.
Beings of Law use the energy in the void to trigger their spells. Only in extreme circumstances would they draw forces from the Prime Structure. Using the Inner Universe’s origin only occurred when they were desperate and had no way out since it would severely harm their foundations.
The type of Prime Structure you chose was important, as it involved the unique characteristics your Inner Universe would obtain as it evolved.
Venganza’s Prime Structure resembled a bipyramid. The upper section was white, full of light, and contained forces that almost every race in the universe could use.
However, the lower section was its antithesis. It was black and evil and contained a power that only one race could use.
Venganza needed an Inner Universe that could enhance his bloodline’s power and strengthen his Depravita Force’s might.
Although he already had an energy source with Eternal Nightmare, the Virtual Dream Universe could not compare with the might of his Inner Universe, which will one day equal a super universe.
The Primordial Body Incarnation was not exactly happy with the path the Inner Universe was taking. Still, since Vegnaza was the original and had control over it, there was nothing he could do.
Suddenly, Vengaza waved one hand, making the Elemental Chaos’ tornado that constantly fueled his body vanish. He opened his eyes and clenched his fist, making the space around him crumble.
“I am fully healed.” Venganza stood up with Sophia’s body still in his arms. He had not let go of the corpse during the last few centuries.
He did not do that just to look at her corpse. Whenever he saw her face, the desire to destroy and kill grew stronger in his heart, immensely helpful for his training as a Depravita.
Waves of Depravita Force began to cover Sophia’s corpse, forming a black coffin. In it, one could find the powers of End Origin Essence, making it so that time could not affect her.
Venganza sent the coffin into his Inner Universe before looking at the void outside of the world.
Hades had been staring at the Depravita from a distance and could not help but tremble as he saw those eyes focusing on him.
“Hmph.” Venganza only sneered toward the Ancient Being of Laws before teleporting outside the Neo-Demon Realm. He then adopted a meditative position as countless karmic threads emerged from his body.
Each thread connected to someone Zatiel had made contact with in one way or another during his third and fourth life. Most of them headed into the Neo-Demon Realm, but a significant portion vanished into the void.
The Depravita frowned as he analyzed the karmic threads and failed to locate the one he was looking for. It was not that the target was too strong, but their interaction had been brief and happened a while ago.
“Even if you are dead or in a hidden dimension of the Prima Universe, you will not escape from me!” Vengaza’s aura exploded, making the karmic threads shine brighter.
It was then that Venganza’s eyes narrowed, and he grabbed a karmic thread so thin that even a Rank 9 life form would have a hard time seeing it.
“I found you!” The Depravita said nothing else before using Void Universe and Void Teleportation. He moved at an incredible speed and reached a Middle World in the periphery of the Prima Universe in less than a minute.
For someone with Venganza’s power, a Middle World was nothing. He could destroy it with a single strike, killing the trillions of life forms inside it.
Usually, Being of Laws do not dare to destroy worlds blatantly because the Primarchs had prohibited such behavior.
Destroying worlds would diminish the battle power of the Prima Universe and harm the universe life form’s collective drive, meaning the Universe Will.
Of course, while the Primarch’s wrath could keep others at bay, it meant nothing for Venganza.
Luckily for the Middle World, the Depravita looks for one person. Using his Karmic Samsara Origin Essence, he was more than capable of ending that individual’s life despite the Crystal Wall between them.
Venganza’s eyes were cold as he focused on an old man on top of a mountain. There was nothing special about him other than wearing an oversized robe with a sheep’s picture on the back.
He was not alone as hundreds of youths were attentively listening to his teaching. The old man taught them cultivation, with the main topic being the Law of Faith.
The one that Venganza was looking for was the man that enlivened the fight between Zatiel and the King in Yellow, whom he knew back then as the Sage.
“Mr. Grey.”
