The Tale of the Void Emperor

' This is fast...but the pressure. It looks like I can only pay careful attention while this process is happening so that the core is not damaged by an overwhelming infusion of wild chaos force. '

Two months passed as Athan continued to absorb the wild chaotic power from the hot, bubbling lake of chaotic power.

Needless to say, His progress was tremendous with his new way of absorbing wild chaotic power. He had already filled his Peak-level essence core to halfway.

Though there was a slight disadvantage to this way of training, it was small compared to this tremendous advantage of faster training speed.

Comprehending and grasping the orders requires his primary consciousness, while his subconsciousness can do simple tasks such as absorbing wild chaotic powers and infusing wild chaos force into his cores.

But he could not let his subconsciousness handle this new way of absorbing the wild chaotic power because it was overwhelming to his body and core and requires his full attention.

If he could also let his subconsciousness handle this task, then he could now start comprehending the final level order of heavenly stream pressure.

' Nevermind. I am already moving too fast compared to other people. I might be able to do that once my mutated soul matures as existence. It's unique, but it's still small. '

It was like, His soul energy and soul sense were unique and powerful...but their quantity, size, etc were not already high. People who have unique soul physique also have special powers of their soul, but they still need to increase the rank of their soul to break through further.

Shiromi's soul was also unique and powerful, and she could do much more things with her soul powers because she has a unique soul physique. But she still needed to train in the soul order method to reach the rank requirement of her soul before breaking through to orderic catastrophe.

Though in her case, Her speed of training in the soul order method and strengthening her soul was very fast for obvious reasons.

Athan's soul was even more powerful and unique. But its rank of existence was still small and the same as other people here. He couldn't gauge it right now because there was no scale. But he would know it once he reached the peak stage of Tier-3 order base.

There was a certain requirement of Soul rank before one could even attempt to break through to orderic catastrophe. If his soul strength had reached that rank requirement, then it means that his soul level is the same as the people in orderic catastrophe, and he won't have to train in those simple soul order methods to strengthen his soul.

...

Just like that...Another two months passed before Athan finally managed to saturate his peak-essence core. The fourth petal of four clover leaf inside his order base also became fully vivid.

His overall reserve of Order force and its speed of recovery also increased.

There was no time to waste as the essence core shone and trembled before turning into shining motes of dreamy blue and metallic black. The motes gathered and turned into an order symbol of the Force of Glittering River.

Athan took some voidpulse to create a catalyst to house this order symbol with his order understanding of Force of Glittering River chaotic power.

After a while, He finished creating it. The catalyst crystal looked dreamy water blue with shining black sparks in it.

He controlled the symbol and guided it towards this crystal before it merged inside the crystal.

Afterward, He arranged this crystal into his chaos matrix system. His chaos matrix system had automatically upgraded. More specifically, The voidpulse strings and the voidpulse pyramid he created were upgraded after he came out of cacoon with a better understanding of his void powers.

The upgrade didn't bring groundbreaking changes but sped up the transformation process of his body and the speed of activating the chaos matrix.

He comes out from the underground lake while his body transformation was happening.

After an hour, the transformation was finished and his body turned into dreamy watery blue with black sparks in it.

After comprehending the final level order of Force of Glittering River, He found out all the effects of this chaotic power.

Force of Glittering river chaotic power has several properties, and this chaotic power can be used with offensive and defensive order techniques. But It's best used with wide-range, aura-like order techniques due to some of its effects.

First effect: Heaviness. It would make things heavier. If an attack becomes heavy, It increases its attack force, and if defense becomes heavy, it increases its defense. This heaviness also affects the target, and they feel heaviness in them and will make them lose their posture and affect their defense too.

Second Effect: Breakdown. The Force of the Glittering River can break down structures. So it is a natural defense breaker. But this defense breaker is different since it's like a melting-down process. So it works both ways: Using the force of the glittering river in a wide range or single point. Naturally, since it's another type of defense breaker, He doesn't need to focus on one point to break the defense like the norm. Even wide-range attacks can break down opposing things, power, shield, etc, and reduce defense just the same.

Third Effect: Stinging Intensity. The order techniques infused with the force of glittering river sting like hell. It feels as if one is tortured in a river of sharp spikes. With more condenses force of the glittering river, Its power and intensity increase.

Fourth Effect: Weariness. Enemies hit by this gets tired and feel weary. Their body accumulates fatigue faster. They need to expend more brainpower to stay focused which would make them mentally fatigued too.

All four of these effects are powerful and useful.

Athan can use the First stance of Destruction with Force of Glittering River nature, and its power will increase by so much.

Assault of Heaven is as its name suggests. A pure offensive assault from the sky. It's wide range and powerful, but when it gets the nature of the force of the glittering river, It becomes even more potent. With heaviness, Its pure power coming from top to down will increase. Defense breaking will make enemies vulnerable, and it will also hurt like stinging hell and make them fatigue. Along with the natural power contained in the Assult of Heaven itself, this will really trouble the enemies.

After Athan finished his transformation, He deactivated chaos-matrix as his chaotic body returned to physical body state.

' Let's see if my soul had already met the requirement to start attempt breakthrough to orderic catastrophe. '
