The Tale of the Void Emperor

As the transformation on the fundamental level of his body continued and all of his cells transformed into chaotic lighting dust, His body started to turn into chaotic lightning dust.

After five minutes, He didn't resemble a human at all. He had a human-shaped body, but his body structure had now turned into chaotic lightning dust.

Athan started walking before arriving in front of a small mountain.

He stretched his hand forward and punched forward. He also consumed some of the chaos force to increase the range of his punch as a mass of lightning dust in beam form shot forward and hit the mountain.

*Chreeeeeeeeeeeee...*

The beam penetrated the mountain and cut through it like how a knife would cut through butter.

He could also fly in this state due to the nature of lightning dust.

From his legs, A force field of lightning dust produced that floated him upward.

Since Lightning dust's nature was penetrative, corrosive, and light, He could naturally float and fly because his body had transformed into that very chaotic lightning dust.

One could also say that his lifeform had changed into a creature that is entirely made up of chaotic lightning dust.

He then deactivated this power after his complete transformation was over and returned to his normal form.

' Hmm...I'll probably not transform my full body into lightning dust but only certain parts depending on the situation. Let's see... '

Thinking about it, Athan stretched his hand and activated the chaotic matrix. In just a second, His hand turned into lightning dust form.

He once again consumed some chaos force and released a mass of lightning dust from his hand in a beam form.

*Chreeeeeeeeeeeee...*

The results were the same as the last time he attacked. Another hole formed into the mountain as the beam of chaotic lightning dust cut through the mountain and exited from the other side.

Seeing this, Athan nodded, and at long last, a rare smile formed on his face. He had become even stronger and more versatile with this.

Also, This was just his first chaos trait, and it wasn't even that special according to what he knew about the various mysterious chaotic powers that are in this Chaosverse.

But since the lighting dust was a mainly offensive chaotic power, It would help him straightforwardly in fights in the future.

' Alright. Since I have broken through to the Tier-2 order base and created this new way of using chaos trait through the chaos matrix, It's time to check my arsenal to start training. '

Thinking of this, Athan returned back to the place where he was training and sat down crossed-legged before taking out everything from his void region storage.

The total things he took out from his void region numbered eighteen.

Two storage pouches, One of them contained fifty thousand low-grade chaos stones, and another contained four thousand low-grade chaos stones.

One beast medallion in which his peak 3-star chaos beast was sleeping, Skymare Tingale. He had yet to give him an official name, but Kornella told him that he could do that later when he forms a soul contact with it.

One 2-star weapon, Black Spear. He got this from the warehouse at the base of Hidden Dragon Troupe.

Other than these four things, The remaining fourteen things were scrolls.

Six of the scrolls were of 1-star order scrolls.

1-star Scroll of essence order method: Lightning Dust of Yellow Hell.

1-star Scroll of body order method: Jadeite Skelendrom.

1-star Scroll of essence order technique: Sumireas Slash.

1-star Scroll of body order technique: Skyline Blows.

1-star Scroll of soul order method: Soul strengthening method.

1-star Scroll of soul order technique: Soul Stingers.

He had no time to train in soul order method and technique and simply left them because he heard that they were not used much in low tier base.

He also had to start training in the next levels of Sumireas Slash and Skyline Blows.

' Though, I will still need to train in soul strengthening methods to make my soul stronger. As for soul techniques...I'll just practice it and see how it works on enemies. I feel like they should be more effective because of my unique soul energy. '

He had heard from Yone that soul techniques were very weak against a same-level opponent in Tier-1, Tier-2, and Tier-3 order base. If the opponent also trains in soul strengthening, which they would obviously do, then the soul technique wouldn't work at all because they are very simple, and only 1-star soul techniques exist for those who are in Tier-1, Tier-2, and Tier-3 order base.

He then burned down the Lightning dust and Jadeite skelendrom scrolls since they were useless.

There was no more order force inside lightning dust and jadeite skelendrom scrolls. So, they were completely useless as other people can't use them to get stronger in the Tier-1 order base.

Afterward, He put other 1-star scrolls, two storage pouches, the black spear, and beast medallion back into his Void region before looking at the remaining scrolls.

From the remaining scrolls, There were three 3-star order scrolls.

3-star Scroll of body order method: Harmony of Giant.

3-star Scroll of essence order method: Aegis Starwood of Highland.

3-star Scroll of essence order technique: Spiraling Cave of No Entry.

In the Tier-1 order base, People can only train in 1-star order methods.

But in Tier-2 order base, People can train in either 2-star or 3-star order methods.

That was because of the difficulty in training 2-star and 3-star order methods. 3-star order methods were more difficult to train than 2-star methods, so some people would choose the 2-star order method to train while those who were confident in their comprehension ability would choose 3-star order methods.

Athan chose 3-star order methods because he was confident in his ability to train in them without hitting any kind of wall.

He then looked at the remaining scrolls that were of 5-star order methods and techniques.

5-star Scroll of body order technique: Four Stances of Destruction.

5-star Scroll of essence order method: Force of Glittering River.

5-star Scroll of body order method: Heavenly Stream Pressure.

5-star Scroll of soul order method: Soul Enhancement Bubbles.

5-star Scroll of essence order technique: Point Zero Bombardment.

He picked these 5-star scrolls because he was sure that he would need them in the near future.

' Before starting to train in 5-star order techniques, I'll first master the 1-star and 3-star order techniques to increase my order grasping ability. That would definitely make it easier to train in 5-star order techniques. '

He knew that everything he trained in Tier-1, Tier-2, and Tier-3 order base would help in pass through the first tough hurdle in the future that is known as Orderic Catastrophe.
