The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan spent the last 3 days hunting magical beasts with Mike and designing his suit.

Currently, Mike was training in the camp beside him and Athan was doing minor changes in the hand part of the suit.

Since he had always like dragons, he had added scales design in the suit and added two dragon horns on the head part of the suit that reaches near eyes, He also designed scaled gloves and boots with patterns in them and added a bit of protruding curves in them and on shoulders.

After he was satisfied with the design, Athan recalled the suit back. He can use this suit to make a second identity of him in the future.

He then said to Mike after walking to his camp, " After you are done training just wait for me there and absolutely don't leave the <Dark Barrier>. I'm going to check out this mountain. "

Mike nodded with his eyes closed.

Seeing that, Athan started walking towards the mountain.

' Even that Pinnacle( Tier-12 ) Elemental Dominator Sect Master had an interest in this mountain, surely there should be something here and I also need to gather Space energy inside my Energy Realm so that Space Crystal can start doing its work. '

While thinking about things, He was nearing the area where Spatial blades and storms were appearing frequently.

But he did not fear them, and the reason for that is obvious.

After entering the danger area, Just as Athan took 3 steps, A Spatial blade formed near his left hand and struck there.

But he didn't even get a scratch from that as he continues to walk towards the mouth of the cave where the Spatial Energy was the most chaotic and dangerous.

After 5 minutes of leisurely walking and being attacked head-on by some Spatial blades and Spatial storms which didn't even leave a scratch on his body, Athan arrived at the mouth of the cave and entered inside.

Entering the Cave, Athan walked for a while before arriving at a wide ground, probably at the center of the mountain and he was surprised to see that In the middle of this ground was a big ring made from metal, The ring had some patterns designed in it which looked profound.

He then walked towards the ring and started examining it, but after looking at every part of the ring and even passing through the gap in the ring a few times, Athan didn't discover anything.

' Da hack is this ring? If I have to guess, This should be a teleportation portal but if it is, then how do I activate it? '

After thinking for a few seconds. He guessed that if this ring is a teleportation portal then he might need space energy to activate it, But he didn't have any right now.

He then looked at the ring's part which was connected to the ground and thought ' Should I uproot this ring and see what's beneath it? But I am curious to see what place portal will bring me to if it is a teleportation portal. '

He then decided not to uproot this ring and started gathering Space Energy through meditation because the space energy is very concentrated here.

So after sitting cross-legged and entering the meditative state, Athan began to gather the space energy.

If he used High-Grade Space element stones which he had quite a few from the loot he got, He could fill up the Elemental Sea of Space using the space stones but he decided not to use those stones and save them for other uses.

[A/N: sorry I forgot to add Space stones in the loot he got from Yashil and others.]

After staying in a meditative state for a bit more than one and half hours, He stopped.

' It's time to go back, we still need around 18 hours to return back to Thunder-Fire Valley.'

Athan then exited the mountain before walking towards their camps.

Since Mike had already cleared all the grey impurities inside his Psychic Realm yesterday, So he was gathering Space Elemental Energy for the whole day today.

Currently, He had just finished gathering a certain amount of Space energy after doing meditation for 13 hours.

Arriving at Mike's camp, Athan saw him doing stretching, " Hey bro, It's time for us to depart, How much did you progress? "

Mike smiled wryly and spoke, " I didn't have enough time to gather Space Energy here so..."

Before Mike could finish his words, He saw Athan throwing something at him and he caught it.

Looking at the thing, Mike exclaimed, " This...is High-grade Space stones."

" Indeed, After you finish absorbing Energy from this, Ask me for another one. " Athan smiled and spoke as he continued, " You can start absorbing while we fly back to the Thunder-Fir Valley. "

Saying this, He conjured Four Winged Hurricane Tiger before he put Mike on its back and sat on it himself as they started their journey back to the Thunder-Fire Valley.

Meanwhile...

At the Headquarter of Thousand deity Palace.

The Thousand Deity Palace was not some floating island, But Humongous Palace in the middle of the Thousand Deity City.

Theirs headquarter looked bigger and better than Thunder-Fire Valley's three main palaces on top of the Floating island.

The Palace Master of such a big faction was currently respectfully talking with a person who looked to be in his Fifties. The person had long brown hair, a square-shaped face, and wore luxurious clothing.

Yashil and the other 6 people who likely came from the Lotus Ridge sect stood quietly behind their sect master.

After talking to Palace Master about few topics, The Sect Master of Lotus Ridge sect turned towards Yashil and spoke in a deep voice, " Yashil, I'll ask you again. That young fellow you met, is he really as young as you said and possess such fearsome powers at the same time? "

Yashil bowed respectfully before vowing, " Master, The words I said does not contain any falsehood, if I'm wrong, May I die getting struck by lightning. "

The sect master nodded before speaking in a calm voice, " Alright, but instead of going tomorrow, we should go today, If his elder brother comes tomorrow as intended then we can still pay our respect to him as he is someone more powerful than pinnacle beings in our Star Sector...But "

Pausing here for a second, The Sect Master's face changes into a frown and spoke as he released his killing intent, " But if that young fellow turned out to be fake, then we can just kill that fellow and occupy the mountain as per my main goal. "

" Yes, Sect Master ( Master ) "

The 6 people of varying ages from forty to eighty and Yashil spoke in a loud voice accepting their Sect Master's command.
