The Tale of the Void Emperor

After entering inside the ark space, Athan hurriedly sat down crossed-legged and entered meditation.

'Powerful!' Athan thought as he sensed the pure power of the soul that was actually still struggling and resisting the power of his Purity Soul Whirlpool.

...

"What the....," Dreevindo was dumbfounded as he looked at Athan, 'how? Why couldn't that epic powerhouse resist for even a second? Sure there was a surprise element, but still...that was a damn EPIC powerhouse. They are a hundred times more powerful than Atomix-stage powerhouses.'

"Hehe, those chakrams are really too powerful," Mimi chuckled as her eyes glowed a bit and a faint spark left from her forehead as the crystal on her forehead was activated.

"Chakrams...," Dreevindo muttered and saw the projection that Mimi displayed from her forehead.

She showed the scene of Athan going out and attacking that woman from start to finish.

"See, that barrier is very powerful, but when those chakrams hit the barrier, they just sliced it like butter...," Mimi said with a thoughtful expression, "that powerhouse couldn't channel more energy into the barrier and strengthen it before it was broken due to surprise attack and died."

"I can't sense the power of those chakrams but seeing how those laser blades intensified when hitting the barrier shows that Athan really went on with the full power possible by him," Dreevindo said with a nod.

"Brother Athan said that that Abyssal Blood Crystal contains the highest potential energy produced by him, and it's a combination of his physical power, abyssal darkness, voidpulse, and his soul energy," Mimi said with a wry smile, "create one Abyssal Blood Crystals consumes all those four energies and it's condensed through a unique process in his body into an ultimate energy source for him."

"Oh?" Dreevindo was surprised because he didn't know much about Athan's newfound powers and was constantly shocked at the changes that Athan displayed recently.

"No wonder...," Dreevindo said while shaking his head helplessly, "It's unthinkable how he could combine those energies and create such a condensed energy source, but it should be possible with his unique powers."

"Now then...he did say that those chakrams had five of those abyssal blood crystals each, and their powers were consumed concurrently to maintain the performance of chakrams at peak," Dreevindo muttered and nodded, "I'm curious how much energy was consumed to break that barrier and kill that Epic powerhouse in that second."

...

"Finally, It's over...," Mimi said as she sat down at the table and took out some food to eat that Lily had prepared.

"The battle lasted for four hours," Dreevindo said with a wry smile as he also sat down at the table. He then looked at Athan and wondered, "Athan sure is taking longer this time."

At this time, both of them looked behind and saw that Lily was exuding a powerful aura from her body.

"She broke through to 2nd-Rise of Raisor-stage," Dreevindo said as he raised his eyebrows, "that was fast."

Lily opened her eyes and stood up with a smile, "It feels good to become powerful. My entire body seemed to have gotten stronger along with my soul."

"Yeah," Dreevindo nodded, "there is a big difference between Raisor-stage and Atomix-stage. In the Raisor stage, you will have a big improvement in overall strength and strengthen your body and soul to a certain point by purifying your Genealogy path and completely making it clear. After that, you can start your evolution by transforming everything to a higher existence in the Atomix stage."

"Sister Lily, Once you break through to Atomix-stage, you will finally start to develop your own unique genealogy power and bloodline. The development direction of your genealogy power and bloodline will depend on the Relics you invoke and catalysts you refine," Mimi said with a smile.

"Mhmm, you will go through three existence transformations in Atomix-stage as you slowly but steadily start your path and receive large boosts your strength with each transformation, letting you wield more powerful abilities," Dreevindo said while nodding.

"The previous well-known master of Ark of Exordium was a powerful human on the cusp of becoming a Myth. Unfortunately, he died from ambush while he was overcoming the Mythical Disaster. The phenomenon when he died was present in the entire Orchos Firmament," Dreevindo said as he shook his head wryly, "how unfortunate."

"Is it such a big deal when a person of that level dies?" Lily asked with a surprised expression before she suddenly chuckled, "I am sure Athan will kill a bunch of individuals of that level in the future."

Dreevindo smiled wryly as he looked at Athan and sighed, "He is undoubtedly an anomaly."

"Is that the exit portal? It looks the same as the one in which we entered and arrived here," Lily said as she pointed at the screen.

Mimi and Dreevindo turned to look at that as Dreevindo hurridly spoke, "let's go and leave! There's no use in staying here anymore!"

"Alright," Lily nodded as she went out and entered inside the portal.

Mimi and Dreevindo saw the scenery in the cloudly screen getting closer to the portal before bright darkness appeared, and they returned to the Firmament Chasm.

After arriving at the Firmament Chasm, Lily once again entered inside the Ark and sat down at the table beside Mimi, "so what do we do now?"

"This time, let's find a Rift portal that is consisted of multiple colors instead of any single one. The multi-colored rift portals are the best. When they appear, they stay for ten to thirty seconds, and their multi-colors keep changing every second," Dreevindo said.

"Then how do we determine which grade is it?" Lily asked with a frown, "you said that purple and purple sparks around the portal mean that it's epic, and icy blue with dark blue sparks around the portal means it's Atomix-grade, but what about the colorful portal?"

"It's the same; the borders of the portal will not change colors," Dreevindo said, "grey is for Wrux-stage, red is for Raisor-stage, blue is for Atomix-stage, purple is for Epic, bright orange for 1st Legendary, dark orange for 2nd Legendary, and 3rd Legendary's portals are bright orange with colorful vine patterns on them."

"Alright, let's look for the multi-colored portals," Lily said.
