The Tale of the Void Emperor

Seconds turned into minutes, minutes into hours, hours into...fuck it.

Anyway, three months have passed since Athan started to use his soul sense to completely inspect the structure of the fruit and understand its profoundness.

And today, He was finally done.

'It took more time than I expected,' Athan thought as he stood up.

"Athan, here's the storage pouch that contains the fruits sent by Dean Lenix. I didn't want to disturb you, so I just kept them," Linci said as she gave three storage pouches to Athan.

"Thanks," Athan nodded with a smile as he took the pouches and counted the fruits.

' Fifty-six...hmmm. I'll just eat them and advance before trying to create them, ' Thought Athan.

"Linci, I am going to call some catastrophe and advance. Meanwhile, can you buy some white marble stones from the market? I need them to practice since I want to create new runic patterns for my 2nd plan."

"Sure."

"Thanks."

Simple and short. Afterward, Athan flew towards the empty hill and started eating fruits while Linci went to the market.

...

After eating seven fruits, A catastrophe directly arrived because the previous three fruits effect already shortened the calling of the next catastrophe.

Afterward, He ate all fruits one by one and experienced six other catastrophes.

While surviving so many catastrophes at one go, his Order Eidos got powered up rapidly with his order force and chaos force increasing in their potency significantly.

So far, He had experienced nine essence order catastrophes, and he didn't know how many he needed to survive before he breakthroughs.

But according to information, With each surviving catastrophe and receiving a boost, the Order Eidos will have more and more order patterns until it triggers the manifestation of the Orderic orb.

...

After surviving catastrophes and receiving a significant boost in strength, Athan checked his Superficial Battle Power.

He turned his soul to its second mode, where it became a normal soul, took some of the normal soul energy, and infused it inside the SBP token, which caused a large curtain to conjure in front of him where he wished.

Afterward, He took out his chakram and released a RenKen technique.

<Point Zero Hell Blasts>

Athan had already refined this technique to perfection as now he could control the six blasts of a shadow chakram at one point for more damage.

*shuaaa....*

*BOOOOOOOOOOM...**BOOOOOOOOOOM...**BOOOOOOOOOOM...**BOOOOOOOOOOM...*.....

The ten shadow chakrams hit the curtain, and ten resounding and intense blasts occurred with brown-yellow lightning and dark blue river force blasting the curtains since Athan had added both Lightning dust and Force of Glittering river as the natures of this technique.

Naturally, he made them into ten condensed blasts, but if he wants to make destruction in a slightly larger area, then he can execute it normally for sixty blasts.

Athan nodded as he was satisfied with this result and looked at the SBT token.

[ Superficial Battle Power: 60740 CW ]

He was not surprised at the result because this technique was highly offensive, and his order force and chaos force received nine upgrades consecutively as their potency was on a whole different level than before.

Since the technique decides the output of one's attack power, if Athan used normal Point zero bombardment or Four stances of destruction, then his Superficial Battle power wouldn't have such high numbers.

...

Athan then returned to Efyeed, where Linci was already waiting for him with ten white marble stones properly set on different stools near Efyeed.

Athan was surprised and laughed as he thanked Linci.

But before he starts his learning and experimenting session regarding Runic Artist, he wanted to check the efficiency of creating fruits with voidpulse.

"Linci, how many low-grade chaos stones do you have?"

Hearing Athan's question, Linci thought for a moment and said, "I think I have four-five million. Anyway, take all of them since they are useless to me. If you want high-grade chaos stones, then I also have hundred thousand of them."

Athan nodded before his right eye twitched in realization and asked, "Wait...did you say that you have hundred-thousand high-grade chaos stones? or just thousand?"

He was sure that he heard...hundred thousand. And it wouldn't be far-fetched either since she is from the upper-Chaosverse. But he still asked.

Linci chuckled and said, "Hundred thousand. Well...High-grade chaos stones are actually the lowest form of currency in the upper-Chaosverse."

One can know that only Zen order and above can use High-grade chaos stones since they contain the highest level of order force and chaos force. Naturally, that highest represents the ceiling of lower-Chaosverse.

Suppose an Orderic catastrophe person tried to absorb order force and chaos force from a high-grade chaos stone. In that case, His order base and body will be badly damaged since he won't be able to house this high level of order force and chaos force, let alone use it to execute his technique.

On the other hand, If an orderic catastrophe person tries to absorb low-grade chaos stone, then first, he will have to send that chaos force and order force through chaos curtain and orderic codex, respectively, to turn them into usable forces with proper potency or their order technique's potency will be lowered.

Although he can recover the forces using low-grade chaos stones, It wil take some time to complete the process and will also require a large number of low-grade chaos stones.

...

"Do you need high-grade chaos stones? I also have no use for them." Linci asked with an expression that was eager to help Athan in any form.

But Athan faintly smiled and shook his head, "Nope. I don't need high-grade chaos stones but low-grade chaos stones."

He then fell into thought for saying, "One million should suffice for a long time."

After saying that, Athan stretched his fist towards Linci. Athan got this High-grade storage ring from Dean Lenix, which allowed the instant transfer of things.

"Alright," Linci nodded as she also balled her hand into a fist and touched Athan's fist as both of their rings touched each other.

Linci then closed her eyes as her soul sense saw another space connected to her ring and transferred one million chaos stones there.

"Done."

Athan nodded and thanked her before he closed his eyes and started devouring low-grade stones to get voidpulse.

The thing with his voidpulse was that it didn't matter if Athan devoured a high-grade chaos stone or a low-grade chaos stone with his abyssal darkness because both of them would produce the same amount of voidpulse as long as their size, mass, and such things were same.

It was like if you use a bullet to kill an ant, it will die. And if you use a bullet to kill a mouse, It will also die. But the case here was that, to abyssal darkness, both high-grade and low-grade chaos stones were the same. Both were ants.

It was a power from a way higher world, and to it, everything here was the same in quality, be it high-grade chaos stone with more potent forces or low-grade chaos stone with low potent forces. Both were the same to it. The only thing that mattered was the size, mass, and such simple things.

...

After Athan consumed all of his abyssal darkness to produce voidpulse, he started creating the first kuriazak.
