Chapter 274: Breakthrough and....Sigh.

Youhan Tree Organization

The place where all executive gathers to make yearly reports.

Several executives were sitting on the chairs with a big oval wooden table in the middle.

One of them was that giant human, Executive Terek.

" Hey, Terek. I heard that Reikent created a farce by recruiting an Ascender and giving him 1-star special guest treatment? Many are complaining about it. " One of the executives who had a young boy appearance spoke while smiling towards Terek.

Terek glanced indifferently at him before saying, " So What little boy Blathor? What do you want to do? "

Blathor face fell at being called little boy, but he controlled himself and sneered, " Reikent seems to work under your management, but you didn't do anything about this farce, so I thi- "

" Shut up! "

Hearing this deep but loud echo from Terek, Blathor shut up his mouth involuntarily. Terek then stood up and put away the scrolls inside his storage before speaking, " You can take whatever action you want to take and hear complaints of those dogs all day but don't come barking to me about it. If you have any problem with my or Rei's arrangement, then you can complain to higher-ups. "

After saying this, Terek left the hall.

*Thud...*

Blathor smacked his fist on the table with anger apparent on his face.

Another executive who was near Blathor chimed in, " I heard that about ten or so months ago, That Ascender managed to absorb the energy of Crimson Power pool? Isn't that good enough proof that he is something special? "

Hearing that, Blathor snorted, " There are many people with special body physique who can do that. It's still unfair to many people that he got 1-star special guest contract despite only being an Ascender. " Taking a breath, Blathor raised his voice, " A NOVICE ASCENDER AT THAT. He just came to Chaosverse, and Reikent recruited him at the Ascender's zone and gave him that 1-star special guest contract that was supposed to be given to someone else. "

" Blathor! "

Hearing this shout, Blathor looked at a buffy man with a huge mustache with confusion. He knew that this buffy middle-aged man with a big mustache is the oldest executive of the organization and is somewhat famous, known as Uncle Mush.

Uncle Mush sighed and spoke, " What do you know about Reikent? "

Blathor revealed a doubtful face and answered, " He is an officer and is under Terek's management. What? Is there any more to that fellow? "

Uncle Mush smiled wryly and said, " That Reikent fellow is eccentric, and let me tell you that, He is probably one of the oldest fellows to join this organization if we don't include the leaders. He was here before me, and at that time, He was still an officer. "

" What!? " Blathor was shocked at this revelation.

Uncle Mush nodded, " Yep. He is a dangerous fellow, and I suggest you don't poke your nose into this small problem. Since everything is clear about that Ascender, don't listen to those people's complaints and do what you are supposed to do. "

...

It's been almost a year since Athan started training, and today, He finally became a Peak-Ascender. After reaching this stage and establishing the deepest connection to the source dimension, His soul sense finally managed to enter the source dimension.

Athan observed the place that was filled with light brown and dark brown golden clouds and sparks.

He saw many cloudy portals that were passages to the Chaos bridges of the universes.

He looked at the deepest and the central place where he saw a dark vortex with black clouds that had white sparks. He could feel counterless other presences similar to soul senses here.

Athan felt that the key to breakthrough from the Peak-Ascender was that cloudy black vortex.

He neared his soul sense towards that vortex, and then just like how he absorbed primal essence, He tried to absorb this energy around the vortex that was most likely chaos essence.

He absorbed a small amount of this energy which he then sent towards the white orb.

Instantly, He felt changes to his body, but he didn't feel his body getting stronger or such. His body would've gotten slightly stronger, but he had already reached the limit at Dark realm 1st-step.

' According to Reikent, I have to refine my body with this chaos essence first. ' Thinking of this, He was going to absorb more chaos essence, but he suddenly opened his eyes as he felt Reikent's presence.

Reikent arrived in front of Athan, and suddenly, He felt a different aura oozing out from Athan's body and revealed a surprised expression, " Athan...Don't tell me you've become a Peak-Ascender? No, wait...If I didn't imagine things, then I definitely felt a slight aura of chaos essence coming out from your body. "

Athan smiled and nodded, " Yep. I just felt myself making the so-called deepest connection to the source dimension, and at that moment, my soul sense managed to enter the source dimension. "

" Hahaha, Great! There is still a whole month before the first year of you being a 1-star special guest finishes, so hurry up and refine your body with the chaos essence. After the chaos essence completely refines your body, You will trigger a breakthrough and finally become someone who belongs to a higher life-form, A chaos being. "

Saying this, Reikent flew up even though he just arrived and spoke, " I'll not disturb you, for now, so hurry up and refine your body with the chaos essence in ten to twenty days. After that, I'll take you to the library to use this year's quota to get a good order technique. "

After he finished speaking, He threw a card at Athan, " Knowing your strangeness, You will be able to refine your body earlier, so when you are done, Infuse chaos essence into this card to inform me. "

Athan saw Reikent leaving and then looked at the card that looked similar to what Nalani gave him. He had put the card she gave him to the back of his mind, as when he tried to infuse his primal essence in it, Nothing happened.

He put Reikent's card away and continued with what he was doing.

Closing his eyes, He let his soul sense enter the source dimension and started absorbing the chaos essence.

Usually, People would spread chaos essence to every part of their body and refine it, but the white orb inside Athan was a fundamental part of his body, and it could provide energy to every single cell of his body, Thus shorting his refinement process by a long shot.

After five days, Athan felt half of his body was thoroughly refined by the chaos essence.

After another five days, His body was completely refined by the chaos essence, and right at that instant, Athan felt an invisible force enveloping him. He started to feel the change in his perception. He felt chaos essence in the atmosphere that was even more powerful and dense than what he found inside the source dimension.

During this process of refining, His body didn't get strong at all. However, he had already guessed this because he had reached the limit and knew that this was just the process of him becoming a being of Chaosverse from an Ascender.

Right at this moment, The transformation was over, and Athan became a being of chaos.

He opened his eyes as he felt the invisible chaos essence in the atmosphere.

' Hmmm...This chaos essence is stronger than the chaos essence I found in the source dimension. I guess it's normal since the source dimension is the central workplace of the lower-worlds like universes. According to Reikent, it's just a minuscule order of the Chaosverse. '

Taking a deep breath, He smiled as he finally can absorb the chaos essence, But then he suddenly remembered his situation and thought, ' Wait...Normally, The people reach the Peak-Ascenders and trigger their breakthrough after refining their body thoroughly have their source core transformed by the invisible force that just enveloped me so they can store the chaos essence from the atmosphere inside but....what about me? '

He was stumped about this but not jumping to the worst case, He first tried to absorb the chaos essence from the atmosphere.

He absorbed a small amount of chaos essence and just let it stay inside the void region without feeding it to the white orb to see if it stays inside or dissipates.

But after two seconds, Athan sighed because the chaos essence dissipated. Then, taking a breath, He once again absorbed the chaos essence, and this time, He fed it to the white orb.

After feeding it to the white orb, He activated the white orb to see what it does.

But...He waited for a while, and nothing happened. His body also didn't get strong.

" Sigh..."

Shaking his head, He decided first to call Reikent and use his quota of the library.

Taking out Reikent's card, He took a bit of chaos essence from the atmosphere and infused it into the card.

Right after he did that, He heard a voice from the card, " Are you done already, Athan? "

" Yeah. "
