The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 668 - Head-on

In the end, the other three Chaos Supremes also decided to shake hands instead of trying to risk their life.

...

"Let's go to the Mountain of Red Dust Cliff. We will discuss our next course of action there," said Kingvi. The person who had Astral Chaotic Vision order ability. After speaking, he conjured a portal.

Athan and the other four entered inside a portal and arrived at the peak of a cliff with a mystical ground filled with red dusk.

There was already a table with four chairs around it on the cliff, but Kingvi conjured another chair and respectfully told Athan to sit there.

...

"Either you can bring your targets to a location where I will be waiting, or you just need to take me to their location," Athan said as he took a sip from the teacup, "I am fine with both ways, but I want this to be done quickly."

Looking at four of them, Athan put the teacup down and said with narrowed eyes, "quickly means right now."

"Right now...," Myrani muttered as she nodded and pointed her hand to the side in empty space as a portal conjured.

"After going through this portal and constantly moving in the front, you will encounter a large floating land with a giant crystalized palace on it. The master of that palace is called Beining Flake and is at the peak of Chaos Supreme realm and also a candidate."

"Good," Athan nodded as he stood up and walked towards the portal.

However, before he entered, he turned back and asked for their contact card, "once I am done there, I will contact you to pick me up."

...

After Athan left, the four powerhouses turned silent for a moment before one of them spoke, "should we follow him and observe?"

"My order ability wouldn't work on him. Otherwise, we could observe whatever he is observing," Poneshi, the second woman in the group, spoke.

"Let's just go to the Grand Chaos City instead of staying here. We will know about the news with other beings there."

...

On the other hand, Athan started cutting the distances to the straight after coming out o the portal and soon saw a grand land floating in the chaotic space with a giant crystalized mountain on it.

A barrier covered the entire land, and there was a large entrance gate in the front guarded by guards.

Many ships were docked on a piece of island that was separated from the large land. All people who wanted to enter the mainland had to be inspected at the entrance gate.

Athan went straight towards the mainland's giant entrance.

"Stop!"

Two guards riding griffin-like beasts but with three heads flew towards Athan and shouted.

The beast exuded Chaos Supreme aura, and the guard was the same. However, Athan was a bit surprised because he noticed that these guards were not really living people but...puppets.

However, these puppets had their unique soul and identity. Just...their source of power was a bit different. In addition to the soul, they had a powerful core as well. Their strength seemed to be fixed at Chaos Supreme-1st tier.

Two guards arrived at Athan while there were still fifteen guards at the gate.

"Well, even though their soul power is not as pure, it should still help me," Athan muttered as his wings pulsed a bit, and he disappeared before appearing behind the guards.

A beastly mouth materialized instantly and devoured the guards.

Athan refined their soul and absorbed their soul power.

Closing his eyes, he nodded, "not bad...but not enough."

"ATTACK!"

All other guards suddenly surrounded Athan, and the main palace was also informed about the trouble at the entrance.

A group at the gate was shocked at the audacity of Athan. They were just entering the mainland for some business and were actually people of another peak Chaos Supreme powerhouse.

"Someone is causing trouble at the Puppet Lord's place...interesting."

"He is powerful. I can't see through him."

"What was that beastly black mouth with creepy white teeth? It didn't seem like chaotic power to me. Didn't sense any order marks in it."

"I don't know. But since he dared to cause trouble here, he must be at least tier-5 Chaos Supreme."

...

Athan looked at guards around him and suddenly raised his hands before speaking, "I surrender."

The guards and other people were stunned.

"What? I just wanted to meet the owner of this place quickly, and that's why I caused trouble like this," Athan said with a wry smile.

Suddenly, one of the guards was surrounded by a black-purple flame before it transformed into a different man.

He arrived in front of Athan and spoke with an interesting expression on his face, "What do you want?"

"Hmmm?" Athan was surprised as he felt the entire puppet changing into something else. However, he didn't pay much attention to it. In front of absolute strength, no tricks can work.

"Why do you think I want something from you?" Athan asked as he raised his eyebrows.

"Hahaha. People only come to Puppet Lord if they want something," the man spoke while laughing. His eyes were hollow and burning with black-purple flame.

"Athan!"

At this moment, Dreevindo appeared beside Athan while sweating and asked, "You...are you here to...?"

Dreevindo knew that Athan was devouring powerhouses to make himself stronger but didn't expect he would target a candidate of another Orchos Celestial.

Seeing Dreevindo, the Puppet Lord bowed and asked, "Esteemed Orchos Celestial, is he your candidate?"

Athan frowned and then turned indifferent as he decided to make things quick.

Disappearing from his position, he appeared right in front of the Puppet Lord's avatar and devoured him.

However, another guard transformed into the same man as before and snorted, "attack him!"

...

Inside the crystalized palace's main hall. A man wearing a black-purple robe with two dark-purple burning horns on his head sat on a throne as he watched everything happening at the entrance.

After a moment, a man with a wolf-head appeared in the hall.

Seeing this man, the Puppet Lord became respectful and spoke, "Celestial Sirius, what is going on? Isn't it futile for two candidates to fight against each other here?"

"I'll go and talk to Dreevindo," Celestial Sirius spoke before he disappeared.
