The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 792 Four Years

Time passed as everyone focused.

Lily proved what she meant, and in two years, she worked hard enough and reached Anarchy-plane.

After six months, Mimi, Huarin, and Dreevindo reached the Anarchy plane while Avelia, Voidlings, Komin, Lienia, and Cromwer were training hard to improve their fighting ability and techniques.

On the other hand, Athan was inside the cocoon, making more progress in his understanding of Abyssal Void of Fabrication by invoking a connection to the Origin AVOF via his soul.

...

One year later, Athan finally came out of the cocoon as he had reached 65% in his understanding of AVOF and gained another small portion of origin that was added to the previous potion of origin.

He could use it to upgrade his Void region and get a small boost, but he decided against it as it could be useful in the future if suddenly some shit hit the fan.

After he came out of the cocoon, he joined others in their batting practice as well.

He planned to create two more techniques: one defensive and one utility.

He could also absorb 70,000 Outrious Potency from the atmosphere, and his capacity of Abyssal Void Essence motes also increased to 15,000 after this training session in the cocoon and making 65% progress.

"Athan, I learned three powerhouse techniques," Avelia grinned from ear to ear as she was truly happy to master three profound techniques.

"Nice," Athan said with a smile, "however, I need to learn some techniques as well. I also need to add two new profound principles to my existing techniques from the previously consumed resources.

"Yep. By the way, have you comprehended Profound Principals from that sword and bow?" Komin asked.

"Not yet," Athan shook his head, "however, I only need at most a few days to do that."

"Then you should do that first; afterward, we can practice and hone your techniques further," Cromwer said.

"Alright," Athan nodded as he sat down and took out the Icy Sword and the tri-colored crystal bow.

...

After three days, Athan finished comprehending the Profound Principals from them.

Razor Dexalator: This profound principle reduces the target's speed in the principle of "speed" and causes the target's defense to decrease against fundamental "slash" type attacks. Infusing Outrous Potency in this principle can reduce even more speed during the attack.

Tripod of Highreach: This profound principle will increase the penetrative power of your attacks by three times of its original penetrative power.

Athan comprehended these two profound principles while he already had two more principles. One was from the White flower, which he used during his cocoon training to increase his soul power; the second was from ginseng, which he used to upgrade his body Supremacy level a year ago.

Soulful Glory: This profound principle will trigger when your soul energy reaches below 30%. At that time, you consume 1000 Outrious potency to increase your soul energy to 100%.

The profound principle of ginseng was passive, which increased his body's blood recovery speed and stamina.

Soulful Glory was also branded in his soul.

On the other hand, he infused Razor Daxalator and Tripod of Highreach into his techniques.

He added Razor Daxalator profound principle in Rumbling Disaster, Magnum Arcane Bullets, Hyper Arcane Cannon Beam, Apoloclyptic Clap, and Oblivion Fist of Wisps.

While he added Tripod of Highreach profound principle in Point of Extremity, Blinking Flash, Mayhem of Arcane, Void Predatory, and Magnum Arcane Bullets.

Magnum Arcane Bullets got both profound principles because both were suitable to it.

Although the cost of Magnum Arcane Bullets increased more than other techniques, it was worth it.

Infusing Profound Principles in the techniques would obviously increase their cost; that's why people infuse them in profound techniques that can release the full potential of those Profound principles.

Currently, the minimum cost of all Athan's techniques is as such:

[Extremity Drifter Void Art 1]

Soul energy: 7 million (one hour to recover fully)

Total Abyssal Darkness (both soul and black orb): 8 million (one hour to recover fully)

...

After Athan completed his small training session, he joined the practicing session with others.

Time passed as Athan honed his techniques and also created two more profound techniques after a year.

"Alright, Athan, it's time to leave," Lienia said with a smile.

Inside the hall, everyone has gathered.

"Athan...," Lily looked at Athan with worry and longing, "you still remember my words, right? You must stay safe because I want to stay by your side forever, whether alive or after death."

"Yep," Avelia nodded as she grabbed Lily's hands, "you better come back safe and don't be reckless."

"Haha, nothing can happen to master with us," Taezin spoke with a grin.

"That's right, that's right!" Infernox spoke as the tiny flame burning intensely, "I will burn anyone into oblivion if they dared to block our Master's path."

"They will have to go past us before touching our Master," Calvacuz's deep voice rang out.

"Bwahahaha, my army is also ready!" Derbios, the Cyborg dragon, roared with laughter.

"Hehe, with our formation, no one can do anything to us," Phor spoke with tiny sparks causing small blasts around it.

Pixilote, Primo, and other voidlings nodded.

"We voidlings share one thing very commonly," Primo raised its head proudly and spoke, "it is that we will not see our Master's death; that's absolute!"

"YEAHHHH!!" Everyone roared.

There was no need to explain further about Primo's words! 

What he meant was plain and simple! Before anything happens to Athan, they will have either their enemy's life or their own life forfeited!

Seeing this fervor and absolute loyalty of these voidlings, Komin, Lienia, and Cromwer were moved.

Dreevindo, Huarin, Mimi, Lily, and Avelia were also affected by the burning emotions of voidlings.

"Bunch of cuties," Lienia said with moist eyes, "Athan, you better not let anything happen to them as well. An Emperor also has a duty to protect his subjects."

"Shssssssss, woman! Don't try to deny our purpose in life!" Slineria said while licking his lips, "we are born for Master, will live for Master, and die for Master."

Other voidlings nodded strongly.

"Alright, alright," Lienia rolled her eyes as she opened the portal using a crystal, "let's go. We are getting late."

"We have to reach the Meet-up in time at Lord Raizor's castle before traveling to the Grand Meet."

Athan rubbed his nose as he felt very moved hearing the voidling's words. They are his family, and he will also not let anything happen to them.

"Alright, get inside," Athan said with a beaming smile as the voidlings entered inside the Void region.

Afterward, all four of them entered the portal.

Avelia, Lily, and others saw Athan leaving as the portal disappeared.

"I have never seen Athan genuinely happy like that after that incident in the Chaosverse," Dreevindo said with a wry smile.

Huarin smiled as she looked at Avelia, "he managed to get Avelia back, which confirmed that he could get others back as well. His spirit is lifted."

"I have never seen Athan genuinely happy like that after that incident in the Chaosverse," Dreevindo said with a wry smile.

Huarin smiled as she looked at Avelia, "he managed to get Avelia back, which confirmed that he could get others back as well. His spirit is lifted."

"Alright, let's go back to training," Lily said as she made a first with determination in her eyes.

"Oh, Lily," Avelia said as she side hugged Lily with a smile, "Tiana and others will be definitely happy to see you."

"I can't wait for others to reunite with Athan," Lily said with a happy smile, "at that time, I will see a complete Athan."

...

On the other hand, Athan and others appeared in the castle where there were already six people present.

Raizor had not arrived yet, but Akin, Nia, Cornella, Katagiri, and the other two men were present. Those two men were not humans but a dark elf and a triclopes with bat wings. Both of them were in the Supremacy realm.

Now two Supremacy realm people, two Arbiter realm people, and Kaizor were yet to arrive.

However, after five seconds, the remaining people arrived in the hall, following behind Kaizor.

"Good," Kaizor nodded seeing everyone, "since everyone is here, then let's go."

After saying that, he waved his right hand; the silver ring in his right hand glowed a bit before a big rectangle portal was opened.

Kaizor was the first one to enter. Afterward, the four Arbiter plane powerhouses entered, and then eight Supremacy plane people entered.

...

On the other side of the portal, Athan saw a giant stadium with a ring-like shape.

The middle of this stadium was filled with sparkling mist, while the peripheral of this stadium had seventy-nine sections. 

Each section had thirteen seats with three rows. The first row had one seat, the second row had four seats, and the third row had eight seats.

"So it came to seventy-nine," Raizor's lips curled upward, "it's going to be fun."
