The Tale of the Void Emperor

*Crackle.....*

*BoooooooM....*

*Shuaaa....*

At this time, Arcued, Sen, and Tealery had a speechless expressions as they watched Athan getting attacked by various kinds of techniques.

Athan was a hundred meters in front of them, and he was trapped into a fifty-meter radius black cloudy barrier. Strangely, He was lying on the ground with his eyes closed.

Various attacks with various chaotic powers would appear out of nowhere inside the barrier and attack Athan.

Tealery finally sighed and shook her head, " Sigh...I thought that I would be the first one to break through to the orderic catastrophe stage. But out of nowhere, Athan triggered his breakthrough first. "

Sen had a wry smile while Arcued remained speechless, ' Just yesterday, You told me so many things and motivated me. And here you are...easily trigging your breakthrough while practicing order techniques. Say, Athan...You did that to show me that I can also trigger my breakthrough as fast as you, right? RIGHT? '

" RIGHT???! "

Hearing the shout, Tealery and Sen looked at Arcued with confusion, " Now, what's gotten over you? "

Arcued took a deep breath and just shook his head, " Nothing. I am going back to training. "

While returning to the geyser area, he thought with resolve, ' No breaks or anything. Until I am close to dying, I will not rest and continue to absorb the wild chaotic power. '

Seeing Arcued returning, Sen questioned, " What happened to him? "

Tealery shrugged and focused her attention on Athan, " Must be feeling pressured. Judging from his current situation, He will most likely fail to advance into Orderic Catastrophe. "

Sen also looked at Athan and wondered out loud, " But it was surprising that Athan triggered his breakthrough while training in order techniques. That's rare. "

Tealery nodded, " It's rare but not too surprising. Athan's comprehension and order grasping ability are top-notch. He had perfectly understood the basics of the order force. That's why he could trigger his breakthrough even while training in order techniques. "

" Mhmm...We are also close. I think I will just need to observe one more wild chaotic force and its order to trigger my breakthrough. "

Tealery looked surprisingly at Sen after hearing her confident comment, " How can you know that? "

Sen chuckled as she twirled her fingers in the air, which produced a clear and peaceful sound out of nowhere, " Master told me that after I reach the very peak of Tier-3 order base, I need to observe thirty-three wild chaotic power and their order.

Once I observed the thirty-third wild chaotic power and its order, I will trigger my breakthrough. "

Hearing something like that, Tealery was dumbfounded, " Strange...How can your master tell for sure that you will trigger your breakthrough like that? "

" I don't know. But I trust my master. As long as I have carefully observed the thirty-three wild chaotic powers and their orders, I will trigger my breakthrough. " Sen simply shrugged.

She then fell into thought for a moment before guessing, " Well...Maybe there is a way to check something like that, and my master knows that way? "

Tealery looked at Sen with a bit of envy before speaking with a wry smile, " Your lucky that you have such a powerful master. "

" Hehehe...I sure am. Anyway, It looks like Athan has almost finished his breakthrough. Normally, one needs to endure the general catastrophe for an hour before entering their first orderic catastrophe phase. I think it's almost an hour since Athan triggered his breakthrough. " Sen stated as she looked at Athan just dozing off while standing: Not caring one bit about the various chaotic attacks hitting him.

" But did he really sleep? That faint black membrane is not letting any attack hurt him, but he shouldn't be sleeping, right? " Tealery expressed her doubt.

After five minutes of triggering his breakthrough, Athan had just closed his eyes, laid on the ground, and fell asleep.

If others found out why Athan decided to sleep at this moment, They would bang their heads on the wall.

The reason was simple: He had nothing to do while enduring the chaotic attacks, so he decided to sleep.

His abyssal darkness could easily block the chaotic attacks, and he also couldn't do anything while in the process of enduring chaotic attacks. Since that was the case, He decided to take a short nap.

Sen and Tealery saw the chaotic l black barrier disappearing as the chaotic attacks stopped appearing to hit Athan.

But they saw that Athan didn't wake up.

" Should we wake him up? "

" Hmm...Nah. He will wake up when he wants to. Let us not waste time and continue training. This time we'll go in that direction. We haven't explored areas on that side. "

" Alright. "

...

While Athan was sleeping, A huge transformation was occurring inside his void region.

Of course, Even though he was sleeping, He knew what was going on.

His order base intensely shone before the four-leaf clover inside it started to break down into motes of light blue and light black.

The order force contained inside his order base started to condense and combine with the motes.

The process of combination went on for a while before they turned into a vortex.

The vortex was made up of condensed order force and motes. It started spinning faster and more violently as each second passed.

The transparent round crystal that was his order base also glowed with intense black and blue before cracks started to appear on its surface.

After a minute, His order base was utterly destroyed before combining into the vortex.

The vortex spun even faster before it traveled to his chaos grinder as if attracted by it.

' Wait a second...seriously? '

Athan thought as he observed the vortex traveling to his chaos grinder. If his guess was right...

*griiiiii....crackkkk...*

' There goes my chaos grinder. Hmm...I should separate the umbrella storages lest they also get destroyed. '

The moment vortex hit his giant chaos grinder, destruction ensued. Fortunately, he separated his umbrella storage and moved them away.

*crack...Boom....*

Even though the size of the vortex was smaller than the chaos grinder, It still started destroying the chaos grinder and began to assimilate it.

Even though the vortex was absorbing the pieces of his chaos grinder that it destroyed, Its size remained the same as what it was at the start.

But the color of the vortex started to turn a shade darker.
