The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan and Yokan continued on their way while those two legendaries powerhouse who had their plants destroyed by Athan mistakenly were sitting on a floating palace's backyard.

Suddenly, a person came running and hurriedly spoke, "Gorant is dead! His soul lamp turned into ash."

"What?!"

Both legendary powerhouses were startled before adopting an angry expression.

"I think he went to follow that epic powerhouse to ask some questions and to find the perpetrator who destroyed that mountain."

"Indeed. However...," pausing there, the dark red-haired legendary powerhouse spoke with narrowed eyes, "if we count the time, it has only been roughly ten minutes and...Gorant was a peak cosmic-disaster powerhouse."

"I see...to finish him off this fast; it can only be another legendary powerhouse. But who dared to pick a fight with us knowing our background and ties."

"If that person killed Gorant while knowing about our background, then It can only be our enemies, someone who doesn't fear us, or someone who has more powerful forces than us. But we still need to investigate. Let's go."

...

"Hahaha, you are here, lady Reventas. I've been waiting for you," Nukkil spoke as he welcomed lady Reventas in the open garden filled with beautiful flowers and plants as he gestured her to sit on the exquisite flowery couch, "please sit."

"Nice garden," Reventas said as she looked around the garden and also the small tiny sparrow-like birds that chirped beautifully and soothed one's soul.

Nukkil nodded with a smile. Nukkil looked like a man in his forties with a medium bulky build and long silver-red hair.

He was a PEAK legendary powerhouse, but his eyes were filled with respect as he looked at Lady Reventas.

Reventas also called Nukkil by his name without using honorifics, indicating that she was somewhat mysterious. After all, Peak Legendary powerhouses were considered to be the strongest echelon of people in Orchos Firmament.

"Nukkil, you will have to abolish that rule about everyone needing to bow their heads to me when I arrive here," Reventas said with a frown while shaking her head, "Your city might have been ruined today because of that stupid rule."

"Oh?" Nukkil was shocked, "I heard about that person from those, but...this is a shock."

Nukkil sat down on another couch in front of Reventas and asked with curiosity and caution, "for lady Reventas to say that...It looks like that person has great origins."

Lady Reventas sighed and nodded, "such great origins that I couldn't see through him."

"I-Impossible!" Nukkil stuttered at those words, describing his immense shock.

Who was Reventas Kiely? She was a Legendary power that was actually weaker than Nukkil in term one stages by one. However, she had GREAT origins and could beat Nukkil in a fight.

After all, she had direct connections with Outrious Expanse, which was said to be the place where all those who breakthrough from Legendary existence go after becoming Absolute Transcendence Mythos.

AND lady Reventas had powers blessed upon her existence by her mother, who had gone to Outrious Expanse after becoming Absolute Transcendence Mythos.

Those clans who had one of their existences going to Outrious Expanse after becoming Myth can't contact them right away, and all ties are cut. However...after a certain time, those directly related to them can receive power and special traits through their one-generation bloodline relatives.

Lady Reventas was one such person. She had also received powers from her mother, and her eyes were said to be able to see through anything in Orchos Firmament. However, the special thing about her clan was that at least one existence became a Myth in their every generation throughout the past thousands of years.

Clans with such backgrounds are hidden, and only top powers in Orchos Firmament know about them.

Lady Reventas was one such person who came from that clan, and her clan was considered the most powerful one out of all hidden clans in all devil realms.

So her saying that she couldn't see through Athan came as a big shock to Nukkil.

"You are not joking with me, right?" Nukkil asked with a wry smile, "for you, who is considered to be able to see through everything in Orchos Firmament to say such words...It's hard to believe."

Nukkil narrowed his eyes after sighing and spoke, "since that's the case, doesn't it mean that he is an existence above Legendary?"

"I don't know," Reventas shook her head, " but he indeed felt very out of place. It looked like he didn't belong here at all but somewhere higher. There was a certain force around him, but which was really hard to sense for me. That means that it was out of my scope."

"Geez...such a person. How come he is here? If I remember correctly, there has never been an incident where an Absolute Transcendence Mythos entered Orchos Firmament."

Reventas nodded with a thoughtful expression, "I don't know what kind of place Outrious Expanse is, but surely people who die or want to rebirth or reincarnate would do that in Outrious Expanse instead, not here. Uh.... never mind."

She shook her head, "I don't know what kind of place Outrious Expanse is, so there's no point in speculating about it. We don't even know if there are really reincarnators or re-birthers here who once had been Absolute Transcendence Mythos."

"Indeed," Nukkil nodded in agreement with a wry smile, "such people would just go about their business and only focus on reaching their previous level of strength even if they choose to reincarnate or be reborn here."

"So...is it safe to say that the person-"

"Athan. He called himself Athan Void," Lady Reventas interrupted Nukkil.

"So is it safe to say that Athan was a Mythical existence in his previous life?" Nukkil.

"Possible," Lady Reventas said with a smile, "that's why we must make ties we with him. He might give us valuable information or enlightenment."

If Athan was here and heard that conversation, he would really want to slap their cheeks and say that he was not mythical or whatever existence in his previous life but an ant that was tortured and pinched to death.

"Should we go greet him now?" Nukkil asked with some excitement.

"No," Lady Reventas shook her head, "I had a feeling that we would meet again, and it's not good to follow him and annoy him. Let's just go to the Vitality Spectrum Zone as planned by us. I need that relic from the ancient devil's ruin dimension."

"Alright, the teleport formation to the nearest point to that zone is ready. Let's be on our way," Nukkil said with a nod as he stood up.

...

Athan and Yokan had been traveling for two days and finally reached the place.

"So that's the place? Mystical indeed," Athan said as he looked at a several thousand kilometers long slash in the sky, and many small buildings were floating before that slash.

"Yep. This is one of the most famous places in the entire Orchos Firmament. Many people from the Central realm and other realms come here for opportunities as well. That slash is a crack in the sky, and it leads to a place known as Vitality Spectrum Zone," Yokan said with a grin, "that should fulfill all requirements of brother Athan."

"Great," Athan faintly smiled and continued flying, "then let's go."

"Nah," Yokan shook his head, "I won't go there right now but later."

After saying that, Yokan took out a token and gave it to Athan, "brother Athan, just keep this token on your body, and I will be able to find you when I enter the Vitality Spectrum Zone after half a month."

"Alright," Athan said before taking the token and putting it inside his pocket. Afterward, he also deactivated the void field around him.

Yokan suddenly looked at Athan and spoke, "it just felt like brother Athan's presence became stronger and distinct just now."

"Yeah, it happens," Athan nodded with a grin, "now I am going inside. Come here whenever you want, and become my good guide for good rewards."

"Hahaha, of course!" Yokan laughed loudly and nodded.

...

Athan flew near the slash and felt a strange twisting space inside the crack, 'Interesting.'

Suddenly, several powerful auras at cosmic-disaster level approached from behind Athan.

A large carriage pulled by two five hundred meters big lions with wings came flying towards Athan, but the crack was their destination.

Both those majestic lions with wings and purple-green crystalize patterns on their body exuded cosmic-disaster level aura from their body.

On the carriage were seven people with young appearances and two middle-aged men that had similar powerful auras as the lions.

The people around Athan scattered far away because of the intensity of power being released from the lions and those mystical flames around them and the carriage.

Any person below disaster level would directly turn into ashes if they came into a hundred meters within them.

Other people around Athan scattered far away while muttering.

"Sigh...those people of Mozarik Devil Alliance are really arrogant. There is such a big place for them to go inside the crack, but they choose this way."

"who cares? Just ignore them and move on. If you are more powerful than them, then go and pick a fight with them."

"That person isn't moving away."

"Interesting."

Athan turned around and saw a large super-fast carriage coming right towards him while oozing out destructive flames around them.

Shaking his head, Athan consumed one Abyssal Blood Crystal, 'I guess I might as well try to execute one of the new techniques I developed while staying in that tower for a year,' Athan thought as he looked at the incoming carriage, 'a perfect training opportunity for it.'
