The Tale of the Void Emperor

" Athan! What happened? Where did you take you? "

" Yeah. That middle-aged man. The symbol on his clothes indicated that he was an enforcer. "

...

Everyone rushed out of the small open-air pavilion, and Athan let each of them finished speaking out their concerns before he smiled and spoke, " Nothing to worry about them anymore. The situation was like this..."

Athan told them everything as their shock grew more and more. In the end, Their jaws dropped to the ground because Athan took out the chaos enlightenment tree on the hill.

" You all finished the events, right? " Athan asked as he waved his right hand while releasing Arachnid's demon web.

Shiromi, Sen, Tealery, Arcued, and Theo blanky nodded at Athan's question while staring at the chaos enlightenment tree.

They also attracted a huge commotion, and many people sitting in other small open-air pavilions arrived there.

" Why the fuck is chaos enlightenment tree here? What's going on? "

" This...It should be fake. Something like a mirage or illusion. Yeah, That person must be practicing some technique like that and created this fake chaos enlightenment tree. "

" You dumb....sigh. The atmosphere around here clearly changed because of its presence. Don't escape from reality. "

At this time, Three people, Max, and the other two people Max met up with previously, walked towards Athan. Max was laughing out loud and a big smile on his face, " Hahaha, Brother Athan. How are you doing? In the past two months, I talked with the Urushi Gale Faction's leader about you since my family had a slight connection with his family, and he decided to take you in. Don't worry; once you enter, nobody will bother you and your friends anymore. "

While speaking, Max arrived near Athan and patted his shoulder after arriving near Athan while Athan was still facing the other side.

Shiromi and others snapped out of their thoughts with a surprised expression after hearing something like that. They looked in Max's direction as he was walking towards Athan.

A cold light flashed across Athan's eyes before he turned around with a gentle smile on his otherworldly face, " So you did that much for me? "

Max took a two-step back and did a half-bow before looking at Athan with a smile, "That's not considered much at all. As your friend, I should at least do that. "

Athan nodded while smiling and asked, " Can you open your mouth and show me your tongue? "

Hearing this, Everyone was confused.

Max was taken aback as he asked, " Open my mouth and show you my tongue? Umm...I don't mind, but why? "

" Just do it. I want to check something. " Athan gently punched Max's shoulder like a close friend and insisted.

" Eh..well, if you say so. " Saying that Max opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue.

Athan got a bit close and narrowed his eyes with a smile as if he was genuinely checking out Max's tongue.

Shiromi, Sen, Tealery, and the other two were flabbergasted and looked at each other.

What is wrong with Athan?

At this moment, Max spoke, even with his tongue outside, " So? What are you checking, Brother Athan? "

Athan moved his head as if he was checking Max's mouth and tongue from every angle and spoke, " I am checking if your tongue is rotten or not. After all, you must have licked many people's asses in the past and more after coming here. "

Athan's both hands were near his waist, and he moved his right hand's finger slightly as a blade of stream pressure released.

*Shuaaaa...*

A tongue flew away in the sky.

"Aaaaaaaaarrrrgghhhhhhhh..."

" And your mouth...sigh, I don't like people who spew out shit from their mouth. Alright. Now I fixed you. " Athan shook his head before speaking.

Everyone was stunned seeing Athan suddenly cutting off Max's tongue.

The two people who came with Max dashed towards Max before hurriedly healing and recovering his tongue.

Max had anger in his eyes which he tried to hide and spoke, " W-why? "

" Now, now. You shouldn't be asking such a question that has an obvious answer. What you should be doing right now is to get out of my sight, so you don't lose any more things. "

" Let's go, Max. " The people who came with Max spoke, and all of them left.

Athan then turned around and met the gaze of Shiromi and others.

" Who was he, Athan? " Sen asked curiously.

Athan shook his head with a smile, " Just a clown. Anyway, You go and sit under Efyeed while I make some preparation. Oh and Arcued, Take this. "

Athan threw a box at Arcued in which he put the Full-arm enhancement armor. He had already removed his ownership of it.

" What is this? " Arcued asked curiously as he looked at the box.

Athan smiled and told him about it and made him the owner of that unique arm enhancement armor.

The crowd has increased, and they were also pointing at the chaos enlightenment tree.

Shiromi, Sen, and the other three then walked towards Efyeed with an excited expression and sat down under its wide shade.

Afterward, Athan completed the web barrier around Efyeed's twenty-meter radius.

He made the web barrier with Arachnid's demon web with a dark aura flaming on it, which was obviously abyssal darkness.

" Efyeed, I know you have sworn an oath not to hurt anyone here. So you don't need to do that. But...just put on a scary display of your power to keep others away from bothering us. "

Efyeed agreed as it glowed slightly with colorful, chaotic powers hovering over it.

" Master. My powers are not as potent as they seem. Dean Lenix can easily overpower me, but he still respect me, and as such, he remains humble despite his prowess. You can say that my attacking power matches at most that of a peak Zen order grandmaster. "

Athan nodded with a faint smile, " Understood. "

He then also sat down under Efyeed and started comprehending the final level order of Heavenly Stream Pressure, which he had left out for a long time. After all, unless he completely comprehends and grasps the order of that power, He won't get its body chaos trait.

...

After thirty minutes, the public increased as several powerful people of zen order also arrived.

They were none other than Venzar, Rezy, Rukia, and some other people who came to recruit Athan.

" Wow. That's really the chaos enlightenment tree. " Rukia commented with awe in her voice while her eyes displayed shock.

Rezy also had a rare shocked expression on her face.

Other representatives had dark faces as they looked at Athan sitting under the tree. But they didn't dare to go there with chaotic powers hovering around it and the black web barrier.

" Let's go. We will plan how to deal with him later. For now, It's confirmed that he really became the master of Efyeed. " Venzar spoke with jealousy in his eyes before turning around and leaving.

Others also left one after another.

' I want you, Athan. ' Rukia licked her lips while looking at Athan with a seductive smile. But there was also helplessness in her eyes because Athan seemed like a really hard nut to crack.

...

After two days, Athan opened his eyes and saw that the public mainly had scattered.

He had also finished comprehending the last level order of heavenly stream pressure as Dawn-breaker fruit's energy started working and filling up the body core of heavenly stream pressure.

Athan felt his body getting stronger as the body core finally scattered into pieces after it filled up and spread throughout his body.

After a while, He felt things settling down as he acquired the body chaos trait, Physical Spirit Stream.
