Nirvana is an ancient force that permeates the universe, just like fate, karma, entropy, and genesis. Its ultimate goal is to break the endless cycle of rebirth and grant eternal peace to broken and old spirits.
This was a power some people considered a curse, a cruel joke of the universe. The goal of all powerhouses is to reach eternal life. All of them hope for rebirth once their life force is reaching an end. However, the number that obtains it is almost null.
Nirvanic Rebirth is a law bound to the phoenix bloodline. It allows a being to undergo a form of rebirth and rise even more powerful than before. This law's ultimate goal is to grant a soul and body that cannot be harmed by the power of Nirvana.
There is a reason it can aim at such a lofty boundary, and that is because the Law of Nirvanic Rebirth is older than the current universe.
There is a place where the power of Nirvana is in its purest form, where souls are purified until nothing of them is left other than pure soul force. That place is The Eternal River of the Afterlife.
To someone with Zatiel's life experience, there are very few things that can truly excite him, but the power in that white liquid flame had that effect, and the reason was simple. The Neo-Demon felt the power of The Eternal River of the Afterlife in it.
The forces in that white liquid flame were not inferior to the ones in the Rebirth Eclipse that was the physical manifestation of Zatiel's bloodline.
The intensity, on the other hand, was like heaven and earth. While the power of the Rebirth Eclipse filled every piece of Zatiel's body and soul, the force of the white liquid flame permeated only the crystal in the dragon phoenix's forehead.
"ROOOAAARRR!" The dragon phoenix released a roar full of might that made the room trembled before starting to shrink. A flash of blue light was seen, and replacing the mighty creature was a naked woman with blue hair, crimson eyes, a crystal with white liquid flame in her forehead, and phoenix wings on her back covered by dark blue ice-fire.
When Sophia saw Zatiel, a mischievous smile appeared on her face, and she launched herself to the Neo-Demon.
Any other man would be affected by lust seeing such a perfect naked body coming to him, but when Sophia was about to grab him, Zatiel gently hit her forehead, making her spin in the air.
Sophia looked at Zatiel with eyes full of sorrow,?but Zatiel simply responded with a kind smile.
"It is not the time to be playing around. We have a lot of things to do, but before that, I have some questions for you." Zatiel adopted a solemn expression after he spoke those words.
Sophia felt the seriousness in Zatiel's voice. Although she liked to be playful when she was with her lover, she knew very well how to adapt to important scenarios. A blue robe materialized out of her ice-fire, covering her body, and she signaled the Neo-Demon to start his questions.
"Why did you choose the Abyssfire Demon Phoenix Bloodline as your second bloodline?" Zatiel was sure that there was no way Sophia could have known that her new bloodline could display some of the power in The Eternal River of the Afterlife.
Sophia did not have to think and responded immediately.
"There are three reasons. The Abyssfire Demon Phoenix Bloodline was a Peak Emperor Bloodline with the ability to incite Nirvanic Rebirth. The second reason was that I thought that combining the demon's destructive flames with my cursed water would improve my battle power. The last reason was that after going through some records, I learned that after undergoing their first Nirvanic Rebirth, an Abyssfire Demon Phoenix obtains a certain level of affinity with the Styx River." Sophia stopped for a moment and closed her eyes as she concentrated on her body before an expression of confusion appeared on her face.
"I hoped that the fusion of the bloodline would enhance the power of my Styx water, but it seems I have lost the ability to use it, and now I have this." Sophia covered her hand in dark blue ice-fire. The next moment the white liquid flame disappeared from the crystal in her forehead and covered the ice-fire.
Zatiel's eyes narrowed when he saw the white liquid flame covering the ice-fire. After seeing Sophia's using that power and hearing her reasons to obtain the Abyssfire Demon Phoenix Bloodline, a lot of information passed through his head until he finally had a hypothesis for her bloodline's unique feature.
'Many scholars have speculated that the Styx River is a piece of The Eternal River of the Afterlife that was contaminated by the laws of the two great fiend planes of the universe. The powers in Nirvanic Rebirth and Eclipse Rebirth interacted with the Styx water contained in her first bloodline. Now, instead of just having a bloodline meant to resist the power of Nirvana, she can dominate it.'
"What laws are present in your bloodline?" Information about the laws in one's bloodline was normally kept a secret since if an enemy found out about them, they could form countermeasures against them. However, Sophia did not hesitate before revealing everything to Zatiel.
"I can feel the Law of Water, the Law of Fire, The Law of Devouring, and..." The Neo-Demon woman stopped her words for a moment and closed her eyes to get a better sense of the next law. It was almost a minute before Sophia opened her eyes again.
"The other law in my bloodline is the Law of Pure Emptiness. It is my strongest law, but its connection with my bloodline is faint. I found it very hard to develop any comprehension of it. I cannot use this law directly, only to enhance the might of my spells and body. There is a final law in my bloodline, but I can barely feel it, and I cannot even learn its name. "
Zatiel remained silent after hearing the laws in Sophia's bloodline.
'The Law of Fire and the Law of Water may not sound as impressive as the Law of Destruction or the Law of Killing, but their might is not inferior at all. Using them well, they could grant a devastating destructive power and impressive defensive abilities, more than enough to kill anyone in your same Rank.
The Law of Devouring is normally used to enhance your speed of training. However, those who know how to use it in battle obtain a powerful weapon. This law is normal in dragons with Law Bloodlines, and it was probably her True Name that made it appear in her bloodline.
The most impressive one by far is the Law of Pure Emptiness. Its force is a little higher than the Law of Space and the Law of Time, and it is the power The Eternal River of the Afterlife uses to clean the souls of the dead and transform them into nothing but pure soul force. In mortals, that feat is not impressive, but in Rank 6 life forms, whose consciousness and True Souls have the power of the laws fused in them, it is something amazing. Even now that she can only use it to enhance her spells and not directly, it is a terrifying weapon. Her spells will have unimaginable penetration abilities, and any attack that clashes in a shield with its power would have its force reduced.'
After a lot of thought, a plan appeared in Zatiel's mind to train her bloodline.
"Sophia, your bloodline has obtained unique qualities that were the result of heavenly luck and that not even I could have imagined possible. Unfortunately, due to the unique circumstances that gave birth to it, you cannot use our race's ability to absorb other bloodlines anymore since you must maintain its purity no matter what. Luckily, you have access to Nirvanic Rebirth, so you will have the ability to improve your bloodline without external assistance."
Although no longer being able to use the ability to assimilate other bloodlines to empower your own would be a heavy blow to any Neo-Demon, Sophia did not care about it at all, and she could not stop smiling after seeing how high Zatiel rated her bloodline. She had blind trust in the man in front of her and instantly showed her agreement to his words.
Zatiel showed a kind smile when he saw the behavior of the woman before speaking again.
"I will give you some Path Techniques that will help you to fully use the Law of Devouring, Law of Water, and Law of Fire. Regarding the Law of Pure Emptiness, by slowly training and getting used to it without external help, you will have a higher chance of developing your law comprehension. As for the law that you cannot decipher yet, we will handle it in time. I will help you decide the place and time to undergo your Nirvanic Rebirths."
When the Neo-Demon saw how Sophia only nodded to his instructions and let her destiny in his hands, a gentle light appeared in his eyes, and warmth filled his heart. Zatiel waved his hand and stored the broken eggshells in his space ring before taking the hand of his lover.
"Let's go to my realm. It is time for you to advance."
