Chapter 721 Essence Universe
Ezequiel took a deep breath and calmed his mind before flying toward the Altar of Emptiness. He immediately noticed something was wrong after seeing nothing stop him from directly stepping into the tenth platform.
According to the entity's words, the Trial of Death would end once he reached the tenth platform. If the Supreme Neo-Demon flew directly to the top of the Altar of Emptiness, he would finish the trial in less than a minute.
Of course, how could Ezequiel be so stupid as to do that? Especially after learning about the hidden requirement in the Trial of Life.
The Supreme Neo-Demon headed to the first platform. After fusing with Entropy and ensuring he was in peak condition, he landed on it.
As soon as he touched the platform, Ezequiel saw the world around him vanish. The next second he found himself in a universe made purely from Essence Chaos.
The energy was in complete disarray due to the lack of a functional law matrix, but thanks to what he learned in the Trial of Pseudo-Emptiness, Ezequiel managed to adapt fast.
This universe lacked any form of Astral Chaos or Nether Chaos, meaning an absolute absence of matter and spirit force, which defied logic. universe could only exist once the Astral Chaos, Nether Chaos, and Essence Chaos reached an equilibrium, but Ezequiel could not negate what he saw.

Although Ezequiel was amazed by the universe's structure, he regained his focus and understood just how unique this opportunity was.
There was no better place to improve one understanding of Essence Chaos and energy than in a universe made solely from it.
He immediately let go of the sense of self and fully immersed himself into this unique Essence Universe. That was not easy to achieve, but his control over World Strength and Outer Origin Essence allowed such an incredible feat.
The entity saw Ezequiel meditating on the first platform, and a cold light emerged in his eyes.
"Stupid brat, if you understood the original purpose of the Sacred Trial, you would know that there is no way you could survive the Trial of Death." It was easy to see how much the entity wanted Ezequiel to perish.
"Just fucking die so I can obtain my reward."
Ezequiel did not hear the entity's words, and there was nothing else in his mind other than the Essence Universe. Every day, his understanding of the principles that formed this unique universe increased.
After five years, his comprehension of the Essence Universe reached 50%, but unfortunately, no matter how hard he worked, he could not surpass that.
It was like something was missing. Unless Ezequiel found that missing piece, no matter how much time or effort he put in, his comprehension would not advance beyond 50%.
The feeling of a bottleneck was something strange for Ezequiel. His talent had always been superb, and he could continually progress no matter how hard something was. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
He opened his eyes and stood up before focusing on the second platform. There was a chance that the missing piece he needed to improve his understanding of the Essence Universe was there, but his instincts told him things were not so simple.
Ezequiel rose from the first platform and was about to head into the second when he noticed how the cold light in the entity's eyes grew stronger.
The entity was an Extreme Rank 9 life form with a powerful soul, so he should have had no trouble hiding his emotions, but there was an apparent problem with his willpower, allowing that flaw to appear.
Ezequiel's eyes narrowed, and he descended. A force prevented him from sending his consciousness out of the first platform, so he could not see what was in the second unless he left.
Or at least that should have been the case, but Ezequiel had chosen the Immortal Avatar True Doomsday Body.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUnder the surprised and enraged sight of the entity in charge of the Sacred Trial, Ezequiel split in two.
Splitting into two avatars diminished Ezequiel's battle power but did little to affect his perception. One remained on the first platform while the other flew to the second.
"Fucking cheater!" The entity roared with rage as he saw that, and there was nothing he wanted to do more than kill Ezequiel right now, but he could not do it.
Ezequiel did not bother with the entity as he was too engrossed in the universe held inside the second platform. Its size was similar to the one in the first, and it was also full of Essence Chaos, but something unique happened.
The Essence Chaos filling the universe was mutating, slowly evolving into a solid substance. Ezequiel saw how the energy morphed into matter!
It was still Essence Chaos but took the form of matter, fulfilling the purpose of Astral Chaos.
Not only did the Essence-Astral Universe inside the second platform teach Ezequiel something that he believed to be impossible, but it also improved his understanding of Essence Chaos, allowing his comprehension of the first platform's universe to advance beyond 50%.
The avatar in the first platform was fully immersed in the Essence Universe, while the one in the second did the same with the Essence-Chaos Universe.
Ezequiel comprehended the principles of the Essence-Astral Universe up to 50%, and that of the Essence Universe advanced to 70%!
Once again, the Supreme Neo-Demon faced a bottleneck, but now he knew what to do. He formed a new avatar and sent it to the third platform.
As expected, the third platform also had a universe, and in this one, there was a universe where Essence Chaos was able to give birth to sentience and spirit, fulfilling the role of Nether Chaos.
