Activate the symbol on the ground when you reach the other side and return back across the bridge the way you came, drop down the shaft in the previous hallway and enter the second activated portal.

Upon entering, turn around and you will see a second Voidwalker pad on the back of the gate. Shoot a second portal here. Open the gate again using the nearby switch and return to the chronosphere room. This time, open the gate, hit the chronosphere and run through the portal to find the chest containing the Enhancement.

You will have to grapple using the Abyssal Chain to reach it.
