The Tale of the Void Emperor

After Pixilot defended against the attack, Taezin spoke as he waved his bo staff towards the T-rex beast with two heads.

*Crackk....*

The staff extended as it easily destroyed the exoskeleton of the T-rex before blasting its head with sheer physical strength.

"Ohh, nice," Nina clapped and spoke with a smile.

"Hehe," Taezin beamed proudly.

"Good job, now let's continue," Athan said with a grin, "from now on, you three handle all the monsters until you exhaust yourselves."

Hearing that, all three voidlings became super excited.

"Nyaaa! Let's goo," Primo said with excitement as the cute cat showed its sharp lapis blue claws with black sparks on them, "my attacks are unstoppable; I will shred them into pieces."

Pixilot pouted and spoke, "we will take turns killing monsters, and if we encounter a hoard of monsters, we will attack together, okay?"

"Ahem, this is not a picnic, okay?" Nina said with a speechless expression, "the monsters will get stronger as you ascend the floors. Don't be reckless."

...

Athan and others followed Nina and continued on the 5th floor.

Nina was their guide, and once they reached one of the Ascension platforms on the 5th floor, they could take the 5th-floor test and ascend to the 4th floor.

After two hours, they could see the ascension platform and saw six monsters spawning around them.

All six of them were ruthless giant wolves with dangerous fangs that screamed power.

All of them had 10,000+ Anarchy symbols around them.

*AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....*

"Hisssssss! Pipe down idiots," Primo hissed angrily before wavings its claws and releasing its powerful attack, Space Matrix Slices.

Six glittering claws-shaped blades sliced two wolves at the front into pieces as they turned into motes.

"Heaven's Wrath!" Taezin shouted excitedly before the monkey flew upon its cloud ride before its eyes pulsed with lightning blue.

*CRACKLE!!*

Four lightning bolts with tendrils extending around them hit four wolves perfectly as they were defeated instantly and turned into motes.

"Alright, I am out of gas now," Taezin said with a grin.

"Stupid monkey, you didn't leave anyone for me," Pixilot said with a sad pout.

"You are too slow, humph," Taezin and Primo both spoke and snorted at the same time.

"Alright, let's go; the platform is here," Athan said wryly, but he was fine with them killing the monsters since he could save his Abyssal Blood Crystals that way and also store up more Abyssal Blood Crystals.

He had spent quite an amount right after arriving at Outrious Expanse, so he was recovering them to the limit of 1000 now. So far, he has 987 Abyssal Blood Crystals in his Void Crux right now.

Athan and others walked on the platform, which was nothing special. Inside this large mountainous cave, this platform was basically a five hundred-meter square stone platform with an altar in the middle.

Athan and others walked towards the Altar before Athan infused a bit of his soul energy in the Altar to activate it.

Right after that, a portal appeared in front of them, and on top of the Altar was a misty projection of a brown-red flaming bird with four pairs of wings and a long burning tail.

"It looks like the test is about defeating this Solace Geo Bird Monster," Nina said with a grin, "everyone gets different tests, but you got the most difficult test one could get on the 5th floor."

"Humph, nothing is difficult for our Master; let's go," Taezin said with a snort before entering inside the portal.

Athan and others also entered inside afterward as they arrived on lava region with lava mountains and cracked ground where lava also flowed beneath it.

*Screeeeeeeeeee!!*

A giant bird with two hundred meters long and four hundred meters of wingspan flew out of the largest volcano that was forty kilometers away from them.

The bird was flying towards them while preparing its attack as destructive flames covered the entirety of its body.

It turned into a burning supernova rocket as it flew towards them with a speed of 2800-3000 meters per second, which means it will arrive at Athan's location in approximately fifteen-sixteen seconds.

"Be careful; that is the strongest attack of this monster," Nina said, "you also can't dodge it because It will ignore space friction can easily change its direction like a light reflecting off a mirror. It will target you even if you try to run or dodge."

"Dang, that bird got 28,784 Anarchy symbols around it," Primo said with a grin, "hehe, let me handle it, Master. With my strongest attack, I can kill it."

Taezin sighed and appeared sad, "If was not out of gas, I wanted to unleash Heaven's Trampling on it."

"Don't decide everything on the number of symbols; it only displays the scale of its power but not the effects," Nina said with a frown, "even if you managed to defend against its attack, its flames are tricky and powerful. It will produce lava blasts on you and attract lava from the ground that will melt your defenses and burn your vitality."

On the other hand, Athan frowned and thought, '28,784? Can I even invoke that many symbols with my full power? Hmmm, I need to check the limit of my current strength, even if it's just the scale of my strongest attack.'

"Wait, Primo," Athan spoke as he flew up with his blinking wings, "let me attack this monster with my full strength first, but you also remain to stand by with your attack in case it doesn't die."

"Roger, Master," Primo said nodded.

"Don't worry, Master," Pixilot said with a cute smile, "I will put it to sleep with my ability if the situation arises."

Athan nodded before he consumed 10 Abyssal Blood Crystals, which was his limit.

He then only activated Extremity Drifter void frame by consuming one Abyssal Blood Crystal before consuming another Abyssal Blood Crystal.

His body transformed as countless tendrils flashed for half a second before his wings and body upgraded with extreme action speed.

His speed had drastically reduced after entering Outrious Expanse because of its thick space and atmosphere.

*SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH...*

Athan zoomed towards the incoming birds with the maximum flying limit possible by him.

One Abyssal Blood Crystal's energy was used to activate and run this Extremity Drifter Void frame while he used ten other Abyssal Blood Crystal's energy to release 1st Void Art's single-target attack, Point of Extremity.

The bird had traveled much distance in the last seven seconds, but Athan closed that remaining distance and arrived in front of it with his fastest speed possible here, which was 5780 meters per second, and used Point of Extremity using ten Abyssal Blood Crystal's worth of energy as he pointed his finger at the front.

26,709 Anarchy Symbols invoked around Athan when he released the attack.

*CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.....BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM....*

An extreme point of destructive zone conjured from his finger before a supernova blasted into the bird.

*CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW....*

The bird loudly cried as its destructive burning body clashed against the Point of Extremity. But...the clash only lasted for one and a half seconds before it couldn't block the attack.

Poof.

The Point of Extremity entirely obliterated the bird monster out of existence.

It just disappeared.

Nina's mouth was wide open as she saw Athan's attack for the first time, "what was that attack? It was so potent!"

"Hehe, even if Master didn't have the same power scale compared to that beast, his attack and the effect of master's unique power can't be blocked by that Bird," Primo said with a grin.
