The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan and others went to the Eat & Drink Hill, where there are many restaurants and bars are set up by members of Chaos Monolith Hills who walk on the path of Mystic Chef.

After going there, Athan paid the bill of 2560 Mid-grade chaos stones of eating as everyone ate a lot. Athan himself ate the most and drank most.

As they were returning, Athan told them to return while he went to Wonder Hill Pavilion to ask the old man Frenz about something. On the way, he also upgraded his mystic card as its cubic space increased by 50 meters more.

' I am out of low-grade chaos stones while I only have 2040 mid-grade chaos stones left. Those fights with others consume too much of my order force and chaos force as I need to use chaos stones to replenish them, and I will need more chaos stones for future fights...Hmm...I need to secure a large amount of mid-grade chaos stones. ' Thought Athan as he entered the Wonder Hill Pavilion and greeted the old man Frenze.

" Old man, I am already walking in the path of Runic Artist. But how do they earn money? I have seen shops of Alchemists, Crafters, and Mystic Chefs but didn't see any shop of Runic Artist. " Athan asked with doubt.

So far, He knew that Runic Artist could create Runic Wards and inscribe Runic Arts in stone talismans to earn money, but he needs to find a place to sell them, and for now, He can't create Runic Wards as its a thing that only 5-star Runic Artist can create.

" Hohoho...so you managed to walk that path? That's good, lad. Anyway, You can sell your things at Star-Bazaar Hill Station. It's a bit deeper in this cloudly land. " After saying this, old man Frenze reached under his desk and took out a scroll before giving it to Athan.

" This scroll is the man of this cloudly land. Infuse your soul sense inside it, and you can see it in third dimension mode. "

Athan took the scroll and put it inside the crystal card's storage before speaking, " Now another thing, There's a Blizter Refining Pool's entry as my reward, and I guess it's here. "

" Indeed. The top 3 in the newbie leaderboard ranking got the quota of Blitzer Refining Pool's entry. It will strengthen your body considerably such that you won't have to worry about not being able to survive a few Body Order Catastrophes. I'm sure many people would be envious of you three, Hahaha. " Old man Frenze laughed.

" Oh..." Athan nodded. Even though he could pass catastrophe easily before, The catastrophe from now on will be longer and stronger. He can easily block those too with his abyssal darkness, but since they run longer now, he also needs to make his body stronger such that it can survive.

The first body order catastrophe he experienced lasted for twenty minutes, and by the end of the catastrophe, Only 10% of abyssal darkness remained.

He also knows that the catastrophe he will experience will be more powerful than those experienced by average people and even geniuses because of his unique existence.

" Do you want to take your entry reward right now? But I think you should wait a bit because currently, that cold girl is taking her time inside the pool. "

Pausing there, old man Frenze spoke with a wry smile, " The body-strengthening depends on how long you can stay inside the Blitzer Refining Pool, and she just entered two days ago after the 3rd rank person got his reward, so it will take some time for her to come out. After all, with her ability, she can take full benefits of the Blitzer Refining Pool. "

" How long? " Athan asked plainly.

" A few months, can't say for sure. " Old man Frenze spoke while shaking his head.

" I can't waste months waiting for that..." Athan shook his head and gave his crystal card to old man Frenze, " I want to enter right now. "

" Eh...Are you sure? You know about her situation, right? Although Blitzer pool is big enough such that you can stay 2 meters away from her, but from what she said, her powers turn more active inside the pool because of the pool's nature. Nobody knows how her power will react if you go there. " Old man Frenz wiped the sweat on his forehead before speaking.

" It doesn't matter. Her power can't affect me. " Athan spoke indifferently.

" Fine. Since you insist then...here you go " Old man Frenz waved his hand before speaking as he conjured a sparrow.

He then gave back Athan's crystal card after scanning it.

Athan nodded at him while Old man smiled weakly, " Don't act tough and come out right away before something happens to you. "

Athan laughed out loud before he turned around and followed the sparrow, " Nothing will happen to me. "

Unlike before, the sparrow led him to another hall where only three doors were present, with no guards.

Athan walked towards the door that has [ Blitzer Refining Pool ] board on top of it and scanned his crystal card on the monolith before entering.

He entered the portal-like door and arrived at a chaotic dimension with yellow, blue, and red mixed color clouds in the sky with the same mixed color lightning occasionally crackling from them.

But in front of him was a 5-meter radius pool, and Linci was leaning to the side of the pool with her eyes closed as dark blue wisps sparked around her.

But this time, They covered the whole pool instead of just 2 meters around her while she absorbed the chaotic pool's energy and refined her body from inside with it.

" Master! W-wh..." Primo suddenly came out from the void region and looked at Linci with bulging eyes.

Hearing the shocked voice of Primo, Athan asked while raising his eyebrows, " What? "

But at this time, Linci also sensed Athan and opened her as her whole face turned red before she panicked, " Y-you...Why are you here? I told them not to let anyone enter, or they would die because my powers react differently here. "

Internally, she wondered, ' He didn't see anything, right? Yeah, He shouldn't have unless he used soul sense to probe inside the pool, but I didn't sense his soul sense so he shouldn't have seen anything. '

Actually, Her body part below her neck was inside the pool, and she was naked before sensing Athan.

Naturally, she covered herself with clothes right after sensing Athan.

Also, Athan didn't see anything since he first focused in the sky and then at her, and he couldn't see through the pool with normal eyesight.

But Athan ignored her question and looked at Primo, who was dazed before asking again, " What's the case, Primo? "

Primo snapped out of its daze and spoke while looking at Linci, " Master...I sense a similar level of power inside her. "

" Similar to what? " Athan asked as he also looked at the Linci and the blue sparks.

" Of course, Similar to level to my Lapis Lagoon. One of my fellow Voidling, who named himself-Nether Frost Monarch, also possesses the same power given to him by Master's realm. "

Athan was finally startled hearing that and got more curious about his own power that he himself had yet to access.

" What's that power called? " Athan asked curiously while looking at Linci.

" Eh...It's called Netherly Frost of Cocytus. " Primo spoke, but after that, it spoke childishly, " Hehe, of course, Even though our powers can be said to be on the same level, I am more powerful than him. Also, that girl can't release the true strength of Netherly Frost of Cocytus and can't control it. "

On the other hand, Linci had a weird look on her face as she looked at Athan, " Why are you talking alone? Anyway, You should go back because If you enter the pool, then I won't guarantee your life's safety. "

After saying that, she snorted and closed her eyes again.

But Athan just grinned and started walking forward while saying, " You power can't do anything to me. "

" Hahaha, Master! It's okay. Let me handle her power. My body can practically absorb her power easily.. " Primo proudly laughed as if to show his usefulness to Athan.
