The Tale of the Void Emperor

He closed his eyes and felt the ever so slowly pulsing order base. After the fourth petal of four-leaf clover turned vivid, The whole order base was pulsing with a dreamy glow mixed of white, blue, and black.

This pulsing only occurs when they can start attempting to break through to the orderic catastrophe stage. This means that Athan's soul already met that required rank to breakthrough.

Of course, He just met the requirement. It's not like he can just breakthrough if he wants to.

" According to information, The breakthrough point to orderic catastrophe is different for everyone. When the point is revealed, They will have to face their first catastrophe, and if they pass it, They will break through to the Orderic catastrophe stage.

"

After muttering that, Athan looked at the pulsing order base inside his void region and thought, ' People usually try to grasp order ken of random wild chaotic powers to trigger their first catastrophe. But, someone can trigger it by training their order techniques or doing other things too. Hmmm...Since I need to learn order techniques, I'll just do that instead of trying to grasp the order ken of random wild chaotic powers. '

He looked at the two scrolls in his void region and took out a scroll that had white material and purple designs.

Body order technique scrolls: Four Stances of Destruction.

He had learned the first stance of destruction: Assult of Heaven, but he had never used it as its full power.

' But now is the time to try it. '

Athan took a deep breath and circulated the order force inside his body to execute the first stance.

But just after a second, He opened his eyes with a surprised expression, " No wonder It took a lot of time to prepare when I wanted to execute this technique...My previous body strength was really inadequate. "

He then resumed the process, and after three seconds, A purple aura appeared around his body. But on top of that, The purple aura was mixed into dreamy blue energy with black sparks.

That was because He consumed some chaos force to add the nature of Force of Glittering River into this technique.

He did an uppercut as the aura and energy around his body shot towards the sky before turning into a thirty-meter-wide cloud.

Just as he was going to execute the final move, He remembered Sen and Tealery were in the range and stopped.

Looking at the menacing purple cloud with blue energy and black sparks in the sky, He thought, ' Let's see If I can move it. '

Since it was his technique and had a connection with it, He thought about controlling it and indeed...The cloud started moving.

Of course, He couldn't move from his position or break up the stance. Still, He could control the cloud, and he moved it a hundred meters away on top of a small hill.

That was also his limit. After hundred meters, He felt his connection with the cloud weakening.

" Now, let's see its power. "

Athan chopped his fist down as the cloud glowed like lightning before shooting down.

*Swiiiiiiisssssss...BOOOOOOOOM....*

*krakrakrakra....*

The destructiveness turned the hill into dust, and the thirty-meter area where the cloud landed became a dangerous zone. That was also the work of a set of order force contained in Assult of Heaven. It would create a destructive forcefield in a thirty-meter radius that would damage anyone in it.

But now that he added force of glittering river as its nature in this technique, That destructive zone also had dreamy blue and black particles swimming in it.

With the properties like Breakdown, Stinging Intensity, etc., of the force of the glittering river, The enemy in the field would really become miserable unless they have a way to defend themselves.

' Hmmm...If I also added particles of abyssal darkness inside it, then...Hehehe. Hais...I want to fight some strong people. '

After thinking that, He wryly shook his head and focused on his current tasks.

Unlike level of masteries like other order techniques, The Four stances of destruction order technique had no such things due to its uniqueness of using stances to execute the attacks. After mastering it, one can constantly practice it to try new ways to execute it and improve themselves.

' For now, I have mastered the First stance of destruction: Assult of Heaven. I need three seconds to execute it, but after practicing it, Two seconds should be the limit for now. That's not bad since I can just use my defensive moves before executive Assult of Heaven. '

After thinking about that, He looked at the second stance of destruction: Spear of Silent Death.

This stance of destruction was simpler than Assult of heaven, but its power was higher.

The set of order force conjured when executing Spear of Silent Death makes it a powerful single-target attack: Swift, Silent and Deadly.

Athan started comprehending the set of order force of this stance after using his soul sense on the scroll.

After an hour, He grasped and comprehended the technique and started practicing it.

The stance to executive it was very simple.

He will have to stand straight with both his legs joined together and put his hands at the middle of his chest while connecting both hands palms. ( In Indian Namaste style. )

In this stance, He will have to circulate order force inside his body to conjure the sets of order force to execute the Spear of Silent Death.

Athan started focusing as a purple aura appeared once again, but this time, It was in a darker shade instead of a light purple shade aura that appears when he executes the assault of heaven.

Naturally, He didn't use his chaos traits to give this technique any chaotic power's nature since he decided to execute this stance with pure order force on his first try.

The dark purple aura gathered around his whole body. He took six seconds to complete the preparation.

And now...he will strike.

Athan opened his eyes as he pushed his hands forward. From a namaste hand style that was vertical, He pushed forward into a horizontal position while keeping the palms close.

*Shuaaaaa...*

Instantly, The dark purple aura formed into a spear in front of him, with a sudden light blue border appearing around it. This was also the effect of one of its sets of order force.

Without any sound or even rustling of the wind, The spear shot forward as it ignored the wind resistance. It broke the speed of sound, but there was no sonic boom.

It just swiftly and silently shot forward before finally hitting a giant tree five hundred meters away.

The Spear of Silent Death pierced the tree before continuing on its path.

But...The tree started to change. It was perfectly fine for half a second before something started to happen.

The tree started to break down into small particles from the hole that was formed because of Spear of Silent Death. The tree's destruction began from within it, and after three seconds, The tree turned into dust.

Naturally, The tree had no resistance, but That was not the Spear of Silent Death's true power as well since it just pierced the tree and went on its way.

If there were a person, The spear wouldn't pierce through since it was not sharp. It was not meant to be sharp at all. Instead, The spear would try to invade the body before starting its destruction from within. Athan could also explode it with his thought.

But this explosion would not be wide. Instead, It would be condensed into a twenty-centimeter round point with pure destructiveness. If it hit the target's chest without resistance, It would blow up the target's heart before spreading its destructiveness inside.

That is the Spear of Silent Death. Without a ripple or sound, The spear would hit the target swiftly. Best used as an assassination technique.

' Lightning dust is best used as this destruction stance's chaotic nature to bring out its full potential. As for the time, Six seconds, huh?...Well, after practicing it for a while, I should be able to execute it within two seconds, just like Assult of Heaven. '

Thinking of that, He started training.

After training for an hour, He exhausted his order force and took a rest to let it recover.

Meanwhile, He took a look at the Third stance of destruction.

Assult of Hell.
