The Tale of the Void Emperor

The lightning bolts broke Komin's and Lienia's barrier, but it was blocked after hitting Sanctuary of Void.

However, Athan was only left with 2% of his energy after that, which means he was only left with 200 Abyssal Void Essence. Naturally, the production was ongoing as well, so Athan consumed all of his saved-up Outrious Potency to get 3000 Abyssal Void Essence through Void Crux after two seconds.

'Damn, close call,' Athan thought while sweating because this last lightning had a very high amount of offensive soul power, which could seriously injure his soul. But fortunately, he connected his Sanctuary of Void to the Abyssal Void whirlpool.

Also, Komin and Lienia's barriers actually consumed more than 50% of the lightning bolt's power. Otherwise, Athan wouldn't be able to block those lightning bolts' power with just 16% (1600) of his Abyssal Void Essence motes.

The three of them continued, and when they were two kilometers away from the Godzilla-like beasts, they started preparing their strongest attack.

The beast also opened its three mouths as powerful energy gathered in them.

"Go high, and then we descend down to dodge and unleash our attacks," Komin said.

"M-master...I got this," Pixilote said with a painful expression as she actually released mystical white-silver-pink star motes from her wings and hands towards the giant monster and controlled it as the monster turned its head up instead of pointing towards Athan and others.

She was carried on Taezin's cloud with Taezin as they flew alongside Athan and others.

"Good job," Athan said with a smile.

*SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNN....*

The Godzilla monster released three powerful beams at lightning-fast speed and seeing the patter of that attack, Athan, Komin, and Lienia sweated intensely.

The beams were super fast and covered all horizons in front of it with ten meters of vertical wideness. There was no way they would be able to dodge this attack given its speed if Pixilote didn't help them.

"KILL THAT SHIT," Lienia cursed as she, Komin, and Athan arrived just 50 meters from the monster and released their most powerful attacks.

Athan used Arcane Lord's new technique that he derived from Doom Spiral Orb. This one was simple, and its only use was extreme destructive power.

Hyper Arcane Cannon Ball.

He used his Arcane Lord void frame to full potential by running 500 Abyssal Void essence motes in the body structure of Arcane Lord and condensed it to an extreme limit before releasing it by combining his palm as the energy would come out of the holes in his palms once processed in the Arcane pipes in his body.

Komin released a potency Orb blast that had a brown fire on it, while Lienia also released an orb attack, but it was dark red with orange sparks.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM...*

A giant hole appeared where their attack hit as the monster cried loudly.

However, the three of them continued as they flew into its body hole and entered the portal gate.

They arrived in a dark whirlpool before suddenly appearing inside the Underwater Gahen region filled with dark and high press water.

Athan's body was directly destroyed once again due to the water, making Komin and Lienia speechless.

"How many times has your body got destroyed from the start till the end? You should really make your body the same strength as your soul," Komin said wryly.

"Geez, I am more surprised that you are indifferent to the pain of your body getting destroyed...," Lienia said with a surprised expression as she shook her head.

"Humph, Master can endure anything," Taezin said proudly.

"M-master...I need to rest," Pixilote said with an exhausted expression.

"Oh cutie, you really helped us a big-time in there," Lienia hugged Pixilot and kissed her cheeks.

"Indeed," Komin nodded.

"Hehe," Pixilote blushed and smiled with exhaustion.

"Good job, Pixi," Athan patted her head before he put her inside the voidling, 'take as much rest as you want. We won't be fighting or adventuring for some time since I have to train as well.'

...

The three of them swam back to the city and went into the same pub.

"So, Athan. If you want to enter into Supreme-rank Labyrinth, then we can go there. There are three Supreme-rank Labyrinths near us in this Underwater region, and they will disappear in 4 to 6 days.

"Nah," Athan shook his head, "let's go back. I got resources, and I want to use them to get strong. After comprehending the Profound Principle from the sword, I will sell it and get more resources."

Komin nodded, "good idea. That sword is the most valuable treasure among the four you have, and you can get more resources after selling it."

"Let's go, then," Lienia said as she stretched her body, which caused her mountain peaks to bounce involuntarily.

"Hmm? You are coming with us back to Thousand Deaths Valley?" Athan asked.

"Yep," Komin nodded with a smile, "she is also participating in the Grand Meet as a supporter of Raizor Lord."

"Oh..," Athan nodded.

"Hehe, you are also joining us, right?" Lienia said with a beaming smile.

"I will answer after a year," Athan said as he shook his head.

"I don't know why he is asking for a year, but it's fine," Komin said as he stood up and smiled, "Athan will be staying with us for a year anyway."

Afterward, the three of them left the bar and then the city as they entered Komin's ship and flew out of the underwater region.

"This ship is slightly damaged, but it's not that serious," Komin said with some annoyance.

"Hahaha, you really love this ship of yours," Lienia said with a laugh, "but I must say it's very good."

"Humph, of course. I spent a fortune for it," Komin snorted.

"Wake me up when we arrive at the Thousand Deaths Valley," Athan said as he sat down on the mattress and entered meditation.

Lienia licked her lips as she transmitted her voice to Athan, 'Athan, how about we spend some time in dual training in that room? I can use my Outrious power to strengthen your body until it becomes as strong as someone who had entered into Supremacy realm.'

'No thanks.'
