The Tale of the Void Emperor

After flying for a while and also crossing a river, Athan arrived at a mountain range filled with building structures and caves. There was a barrier around this mountain range, but Athan broke it easily.

He could sense that Lily, Mimi, Huarin, and Dreevindo were here.

At this time, Lily, Mini, Huarin, and Dreevindo were inside a mountain cave, sitting in meditation with four other people.

Suddenly, Lily opened her eyes and looked in the cave entrance direction but saw no one. However, the next second, she saw Athan entering the entrance.

"Athan!" Lily cried out happily as she stood up and made a dash towards Athan before directly hugging him tightly.

"Damn, why did you take so long? I was really worried, you know?" Lily pouted with tearful eyes as she punched Athan in the chest. She knew that Athan was powerful and would be more powerful than them, but this world was also very powerful. 

What's more, Athan dived into conflict right away, and despite having confidence in Athan, she was still worried about him.

"You know that I can't lose you again," Lily said with tearful eyes, "I don't want to live without you like in my first life. The moment you die, I will also die."

"No one is dying," Athan said as he patted Lily's head with a smile, "I am fine, aren't I?"

Mimi, Huarin, and Dreevindo opened their eyes as they heard Lily's voice and stood up.

"Brother Athan," Mimi said as she rushed over with a big smile and hugged Athan as well, "hehe, you are finally here."

However, Dreevindo looked at two people floating behind Athan with fear in their eyes and sweat dripping from their faces, 'they are the leaders of this organization. Both are Mystic lord...don't tell me Athan is even more powerful than them?'

Currently, there were no symbols around Athan because he had deactivated all of his void features like the void field, void robe, etc. And even so, his physical body was bare, and it would also invoke symbols unless he actively prevented them, but he was not preventing the invocation of symbols and letting them stay inside him.

It's just that his power had entered into the Supremacy plane, but his physical body had just entered Anarchy level strength, and since his physical body was Anarchy level, the Supremacy symbols of golden dragons wouldn't invoke. 

Naturally, those two Mystic lords arrived here when they saw a stranger barging into their mountain range after breaking their barrier. They were scared because only the powerhouse at the Anarchy plane could destroy the barrier.

"Let's go; it's time to leave," Athan said with a smile as he waved his hand, "don't resist this force." 

After Athan waved his hand, Lily, Mimi, Huarin, and Dreevindo disappeared.

...

"Where are we?" Lily was surprised as she and the others appeared in the space of darkness.

"Relax, this is my void region," Athan's soul consciousness that looked exactly like him appeared in front of Lily and others as he said with a smile.

"But why did you put us here?" Dreevindo asked with a doubt, "are you going to a troublesome place where we can't survive?"

"Something like that, but don't worry. You will not stay here for that long. After reaching 60% of understanding my power and upgrading my void region again, I can now let other people enter the void region, but it's not beneficial since you won't be able to train here."

"Any power not belonging to me will turn into nothingness in this void region, and you won't be able to make resonance connection with your source power for training as well," Athan said.

"So, what's the plan?" Huarin asked.

"For now...," Athan muttered before he waved his hand and consumed a lot of void pulse before waving his hands as if he was painting something.

Suddenly, fifty kilometers area around Lily and others turned to the ground as their feet touched the grassy ground. 

Mountain, rivers, jungle, and such things appeared as well.

"I will let you out after an hour or two maximum," Athan said with a smile before he left this section of the void region and appeared in another section where he was accumulating his new source of energy.

An energy pool of dark-red whirlpool was whirling in this section as countless tendrils protruded from this whirlpool and connected to his Void Empowerment Veins. The whirlpool was a bit strange as the top part of the whirlpool had tiny dark red mystical motes floating.

Now he won't be producing Abyssal Blood Crystals anymore. Previously, His void crux was designed to absorb his soul energy, vitality, abyssal darkness, and void pulse before combining them to create Abyssal Blood Crystals.

However, Athan changed this structure as he modified his void crux and Void Empowerment veins such that his void crux would still combine those four energies, but instead of producing Abyssal Blood Crystals, it would produce Abyssal Void Essence. 

That whirlpool was an accumulation of Abyssal Void essence. He had also turned all the remaining Abyssal Blood Crystals into active energy form and put them in the whirlpool.

The top of the whirlpool had countless tendrils connected to the Void Empowerment Veins, while the bottom had a thin grey pathway connected to Void Crux in his body.

As his soul and body were strengthened and got a stronger capacity, he would also be able to generally store more Abyssal Blood Crystals than 1000 of the previous limit, but instead of Abyssal Blood Crystals, now it was Abyssal Void Essence.

The reason why he designed a whirlpool structure was due to the potency of this Abyssal Void Essence. It was not stable like Abyssal Blood Crystals.

The latest versions of Abyssal Blood Crystals contained 200k abyssal darkness, 140k void pulse, 150k soul energy, and 20% of his physical body's vitality power but this Abyssal Void whirlpool currently had unstable Abyssal Void Essence in it.

So, from the bottom part of the whirlpool, the energy would be refined and reach the top, wider part of the whirlpool, which would contain the stable Abyssal Void Essence with the perfect combination of his four energies into an entirely new potent energy, which was in the form of tiny floating dark red motes.

His current limit was 10,000 Abyssal Void Essence motes in the Abyssal Void whirlpool. If he exceeded that, his body and soul would get pressured. However, he didn't know how the most amount AVE motes he can use concurrently to empower his technique.

"But it's time to find out," Athan spoke as he entered the City Palace to meet that so-called Master Komin.

...

Inside the backyard garden of the City Palace, Komin and Athan were sitting at a table with tea and biscuits on it. 

"To be honest, I love these biscuits," Komin said as he put one in his mouth and drank the tea, "I even have a technique called Death Biscuits, hahaha."

Jakal and Vinery sweated as Death Biscuits was the signature technique of Master Komin.

"Death Biscuits...sounds tasty to me," Athan said with a grin.

"Then would you like to taste them?" Komin said with a smile as he looked at Athan.

"I can't wait."

"Let's change location," Komin said as he stood up and flew out of the palace.

*Swoosh...*

Athan also stood up and followed Komin.
