Chapter 439: All-Devouring Seal

Reaching the Ephemeral level only meant he would be capable of training the Omega Law. To channel the cosmic force powers, one must reach the Embryonic level.

At the Embryonic level, an individuals' understanding of the cosmic force would be significant enough to establish a genuine connection with the Omega Law and learn to use the spells and skills the creator developed with it. 

"One step at a time," Zatiel said to himself before emptying his mind and focusing on the Beyond Cultivation Art of the Absolute Unity Omega Law. 

He deciphered and slowly understood the profound meaning and intent of the runes that covered the black hole's sculpture. 

The more the Neo-Demon's comprehension grew, the more times he experienced the illusion where a black hole devoured an entire cosmos and made it part of itself.

Every time the illusion grew a little more profound, and the power of the Absolute Unity Omega Law became clearer for Zatiel.

After a month of meditation in front of the black hole's sculpture, the Neo-Demon's eyes released a powerful aura. A mantle of darkness emerged from his body and extended for kilometers around him. 

The mantle did not come from the Omega Law but from Zatiel's Darkness Constitution. 

The first technique in the Absolute Unity Beyond Cultivation Art required the individual to have a domain. The best type would be one connected to the body and capable of exerting devouring force.

A domain of darkness that was born of the individual's cells was perfect for the technique. Zatiel knew it, and it was the reason he chose a Darkness Constitution. 

Zatiel's eyes did not leave the statue, but the power of his Death Essence began to act on the mantle of darkness. The Neo-Demon was trying to inscribe a rune that carried the power of the destructive Law Essence in the domain. 

He failed the first and the second time, but that did not discourage him. On the contrary, Zatiel kept trying again and again as his understanding of the Omega Law increased.

Finally, after a week, Zatiel inscribed the first rune inside the domain. It was extremely small, to the point even a Rank 6 life form would find it difficult to see it, and the forces and intent in it were unique. 

The moment the rune appeared, the mantle of darkness began to tremble before immediately compressing around the inscription made of Death Essence. 

Zatiel just created with Law Essence an All-Devouring Seal, a miniature heavenly body that mimicked the power of black holes. The thousands of meters of darkness compressed around the All-Devouring Seal and formed a spherical domain less than four meters wide. 

Zatiel analyzed the domain, and a smile appeared on his face.

"All-Devouring Domain. Forming it means I reached the Embryonic level of comprehension over the Absolute Unity Omega Law."

The darkness density was hundreds of thousands of times greater than before, and that was only one of its changes.

Zatiel did not wait before commanding the NRAI to teleport him, and the next second he found himself in the Neo-Demon Realm's void.

While the Darkness Constitution had energy swallowing properties, comparing it with the All-Devouring Domain's power was like comparing the amount of water a carp and a whale swallow when they open their mouths.

The All-Devouring Domain was consuming wave after wave of Elemental Chaos, compressing the energy before storing it into itself.

The most amazing thing was that Zatiel did not have to do anything. The domain acted independently and did not require energy or any other fuel source from him.

Another fantastic thing from the All-Devouring Domain was that the energy devoured and compressed formed a defensive force field around the Neo-Demon. As a result, attacks beneath the 5th Engraving Stage would now be incapable of harming him, even if they hit point-blank. 

Zatiel's smile grew wider as he felt the immense power of the All-Devouring Domain. He raised his hand and the next second unleashed an ability he had not used in a very long time.

"Apocalyptic Blast!" 

A cannon of compressed chaotic energy emerged from the Neo-Demon's palm, breaking apart the waves of Elemental Chaos around him. 

The beam's power reached the bottom of Rank 6!

Zatiel had stopped using Apocalyptic Blast after developing other abilities that carried a similar power but drained less energy. However, what he used to fuel the blast was not the Elemental Chaos in his energy pool but the one contained in the All-Devouring Domain.

He unleashed a spell capable of killing a Peak Rank 5 life form and yet remained in peak condition. 

And if that were not good enough proof of the All-Devouring Domain's power, it would replenish the energy loss in less than a minute, allowing the Neo-Demon to unleash that attack again without any repercussion. 

"Hahahaha." 

Zatiel began to laugh as he felt the significant improvement in his battle power. 

'Before, I could exchange a few movements with a Hollow Sun Domain Devil before being forced to run. Now that I can use the Absolute Unity Omega Law's power and with the new weapons Hades is creating for me, I can kill Fiend Dukes!' Battle intent could be seen in Zatiel's eyes as he pictured his return to Baator. 

After a moment, the Neo-Demon calmed down and adopted a meditative position in the void as he went through the All-Devouring Domain's training technique. 

'The domain's cultivation divides into outer cultivation and inner cultivation. Outer cultivation focuses on increasing the number of All-Devouring Seal, which will improve the domain's ability to devour and store energy. Inner cultivation centers on developing channels that connect my body and Inner Law Dimension to the domain.'

Zatiel chose to begin his training immediately. He used the power of Death Essence to start inscribing more seals while focusing part of his mind on creating channels that connected his skin to the domain.

Now that he reached the Embryonic level and learned the first Absolute Unity Beyond Cultivation Art technique, he did not need to use the sculpture to increase his comprehension for the time being.

As his mastery over the All-Devouring Domain grew, so would his understanding of the Absolute Unity Omega Law. 

Of course, to learn the subsequent techniques and increase his cultivation to the next level after reaching the peak of the Embryonic level, he would need to study the Beyond Prima Omega Art in the black hole's sculpture.
