The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 640 - Unfettered Path-2

Athan started comprehending the order marks from the scroll and finished comprehending all 754 order marks in one day.

However, after that, he had to learn the arrangement of order marks to use the order ability, which...only took him three hours.

"Let's Efyeed. I need to comprehend a chaotic power and make a connection with its source dimension," Athan said.

"Master, why don't we find an island bubble and go there? There should be fragments of chaotic powers in them as well. Master can choose a suitable chaotic power there and connect with its source dimension."

"Alright, then let's fight an island bubble. Hmmm, a lord-grade island bubble is good for now," Athan nodded and said.

...

Athan and Efyeed went out again as they started searching for a Lord-grade island bubble. Athan could not fly anymore so Efyeed was using its own power to keep Athan afloat in this chaotic space.

However, a giant portal appeared near where Athan was flying, and...a giant flying ship came out from it.

"Master, I sense a more powerful presence than a chaos saint in that ship," Efyeed said.

"They are none of our business. We focus on searching for a lord-grade island bubble," Athan said before he pointed ahead, "what's the energy level of that island bubble?"

"Hmm, that's actually lord-grade island bubble!"

"Then let's go." He had an abyssal darkness barrier around him, so the chaotic atmosphere didn't affect him one bit while Efyeed controlled his flying path.

After arriving at the island bubble, he directly entered inside it after passing through the jelly-like membrane surrounding the island.

"Eh...this island didn't change its size. It's the same three kilometers in size," Athan said as he extended his soul sense.

"We have to find the dimension door and enter through it to reach the real dimension of this island. This outer island is for outer appearance, and we can simply build an outer fort or something like that around the dimension door for security purposes."

"Also, master, I just found the dimension," Efyeed's voice rang out before Efyeed came out from the void region in its miniature form and started flying.

Athan followed after Efyeed and soon arrived at a glittering pond.

"That pond is the dimension door," Efyeed said while pointing at the pond, "master, I will stand guard here while you enter inside and comprehend a chaotic power."

"Alright," Athan nodded as he jumped into the pond and arrived at a new world.

*Roar....*

A dinosaur with wings and tree vines chaos beast roared towards Athan. From its aura, it was a lord-grade chaos beast.

However, Athan coldly looked at it and stretched his hand towards it before muttering, "pipe down."

Abyssal darkness released from Athan's hand as it took the form of a condensed orb before shooting towards the chaos beast.

The chaos beast, not sensing anything from the orb, decided to take it as a non-threatening thing and ignored it.

However, that cost it dearly...

*ROARRRRRRRR...*

The beast cried painfully before the abyssal darkness entirely devoured it into nothingness.

The current Athan was not weak but way more powerful because....of this 10% of understanding of AVOF.

His reserve and production speed of abyssal darkness had increased a lot. If one has to compare, Athan had five liters of abyssal darkness storage and could recover all that in two hours. But right now, he had fifty liters of abyssal darkness storage, and he could still recover all that in two hours. What's more, his abyssal darkness doubled in its quality, so it was more powerful than it already was before.

Athan even felt that he could kill anyone here as long as that person was undefended. After all, once his abyssal darkness hit someone, only death in oblivion remains. But, the abyssal darkness was not fast in its moving speed, and one could continuously consume their energy to defend and exhaust abyssal darkness before it hit them in flesh or soul.

After killing that beast, Athan looked around and saw chaotic powers in many things.

A tree with lavender and dark green patterns that was crackling with lightning.

A flaming blue lake that, instead of burning, was freezing anything that touched it and then burned it from inside.

A large pink and yellow cloud rained acid, but the acid melted the ground before producing toxic flowers from the melted ground that released poisonous gas.

After ten minutes, Athan encountered two more lord-grade chaos beasts but finished them off with his abyssal darkness.

*Shuaaaaa...*

Suddenly, Athan's face changed as he was attacked from behind.

A powerful force tore his body from the belly as his upper part from belly and lower-part below belly were cleanly cut into two.

Both pieces flew in a different direction by the force of the attack that hit him.

*Criiiiiiiiiiii...*

"Fuck!" Athan nailed his hands on the ground to stop his body before consuming void pulse to create his lower body part.

He glared at the giant bird with two sharp beaks and black winds surrounding it.

"Peak lord-grade? Humph," Athan coldly snorted as he provoked the bird with his hand," come on!"

*Criiiiiiiii....*

The chaotic bird flew towards Athan at supersonic speed. Still, Athan grinned as he created a wall of abyssal darkness in front of him.

The bird hit the wall and...disappeared. Naturally, it vanished into nothingness because the abyssal darkness was so potent that it devoured the entire chaos beast in a second.

The beast didn't even realize how it died because it was coming at super fast speed and died at that fast as well.

"I have to find a hidden place where I can comprehend the chaotic power without the disturbance of these beasts," Athan muttered as he started walking towards a mountain range after absorbing the remaining abyssal darkness from the wall he had just created.

He had used a lot more abyssal darkness in that wall, so naturally, not all abyssal darkness was consumed to kill that beast.

...

After ten minutes of walking by hiding his presence and visibility by walking through the thick jungle, he arrived at the mountain.

He encountered two king-grade chaos beasts inside the jungle on the way, but he finished them off before they could see him.

"Swirling Rage Ignition...., That chaotic power burning on the mountain seems suitable for this ability," Athan muttered as he decided to pick that dark orange burning mountain with the dark green wind blowing on it.
