The Tale of the Void Emperor

*shuaaaaaaaaa.....*

*Boooomm.....*

Athan released a Sumireas slash and a Skyline blow as they both hit a nearby hill.

He only focused on Mastering Sumireas Slash and Skyline blow to their final level in the last fifteen days, and today, He finally succeeded.

His Sumireas Slash had become way thinner than before. It was just like when Yone first showed him. It was as thin as cicadas wings, but the power it had was also condensed way more than before.

The size of his Skyline blow has gotten bigger along with its speed and power.

Athan stretched his hand out and activated chaos matrix-Lightning dust.

After a moment, A black spear was in his hand, and he swung it with his full power.

He consumed some of the chaos force to inject his lightning dust power inside the spear before executing Sumireas Slash.

*Shrrrrrrrhuaaaaaa.....*

This slash was ten meters wide as he had consumed a considerable amount of chaos force and order force to execute it.

He released this slash towards a mountain, and after it hit the mountain, Two usual additional slashes appeared, which created a cross slash.

But this time, Since he had fully mastered Sumireas Slash, He activated its final part earlier, which was the blast.

The + shaped thin Sumireas slash started to shrink before...

*BOOOM....*

A ten-meter radius of blast occurred while the slash was inside the mountain and blasted the mountain open.

The pieces of broken rocks fell down like rain after the blast. The half mountain and blasted off stones then started to disintegrate due to the power of lightning dust rubbing on them.

' This spear is good for now. Although I prefer chakrams, I currently don't have enough material and money to custom order them. Hmmm...'

After thinking about it for a moment, He decided that He would not custom order chakrams for now.

' The Penta regional tournament should have rewards too and far better than this competition. It's better to get a 3-star grade chakrams than 2-star for the future as a 2-star weapon will eventually be useless after I get stronger. '

After he finished mastering these two techniques and testing their powers, he went back to his training place, a small cave near a riverbank.

Of course, The river was not filled with water but a cloudly substance. He even touched it by putting his hands inside the river, but they were not the usual clouds that he had seen on earth, obviously. Instead, They felt extremely fluffy and soft, and he could even grab them in his hands.

So, He grabbed some of them and created a cushion for him to sit on inside the cave where he started training.

After all, If there was a nice thing to sit on, then why should he sit on rough ground inside the cave?

After sitting crossed-legged on the cloudly cushion, He took out two scrolls.

A 3-star scroll of essence order method, Aegis Starwood of Highland, and another 3-star scroll of body order method, Harmoney of Giant.

Since he had broken through to the Tier-2 order base, He should start training in these methods before doing anything else like training in other order techniques.

This was because he wanted to see if he can do two things at once with his soul. He had already done that before, but he wanted to try this in training. At first, He will need to put all of his focus on comprehending and grasping the first level order of these two methods, but after that, He can leave the saturation work to his subconsciousness. As for his primary consciousness? He would mainly focus on practicing the order techniques.

First, He opened the essence order method scroll, Aegis Starwood of Highland.

The initial description was just about the nature of this chaotic power and its properties.

For instance, Lightning Dust Chaotic power had the properties of being fast traveling in the air, disintegration, and penetrative.

Just like that, Aegis Starwood Chaotic power had properties of being very tough, extremely tight structure, self-recovery, and even healing properties in its chaotic power.

It was mainly a defensive chaotic power. But Athan wanted this type of chaotic power in the first place because he did not lack anything in the offensive department for now due to his Lightning Dust Crystal in chaos matrix and Abyssal Darkness.

After reading its description, He used his soul sense and started to comprehend and grasp the order of Aegis Starwood from the scroll.

...

In the central underground Palace...

Ayurin, The master of Sen Theorus, was fishing in the mysterious pond while Valeria was nowhere to be seen.

' What is taking her so long? '

Ayurin thought while fishing. Valeria told her that she would return after fifteen days a month ago as she went to take part in the meeting regarding the upcoming Penta regional tournament, but now, a month has passed, but she still hasn't returned.

But right at this moment, A door materialized beside her from which a somewhat tired-looking Valeria came out.

Ayurin raised her eyebrows before asking in a doubtful voice, " What happened? You look worn out. "

" Sigh...What a mess. "

Saying this, Valeria first sat down on her comfortable chair before saying while shaking her head, " The Penta regional tournament's date is out. "

Ayurin nodded before narrowing her beautiful blue eyes a little, " That should be a good thing but looking at your state, something went wrong, right? "

Valeria nodded with a wry expression, " That envoy wants to speed up the tournament. We tried to convince him otherwise, but he didn't budge. "

Her face then turned slightly angry, " That bastard arrived late in the first place, and now he decided that the tournament will start after six months. "

" What! That's too little time to prepare for our contestants. " Ayurin was started because the Penta regional tournament usually starts around one and a half years after the surrounding major region competitions are over.

" Sigh...That envoy was unreasonable, but unfortunately, we can't let this chance go. That bastard said that if we want to delay the tournament, then do so, but he will simply leave if we do that. "

Valeria was angry, Not just her but all other organizers of other region competitions were angry, but they can't do anything about it.

Ayurin frowned and pointed out, " The location of this tournament is also dangerous, right? It looks like there will be more casualties this time. "

" Indeed. The Chaos phenom dimension chosen for this Penta regional tournament is more dangerous. On top of decreased training time for the participants, there will really be more casualties. "

Valeria then simply closed her eyes after sighing one more time.

' It will be tough for all competitors this time, but the rewards are also excellent and worth the risk. I can only say best of luck to everyone. '
