The Tale of the Void Emperor

Countless veins and tendrils appeared on his body as they pulsed and moved as blood was flowing in them intensely.

'The blood and heart...Hmmm, I can produce stronger blood by modifying my heart a bit. The void empowerment veins should directly combine the blood with abyssal darkness at a deeper level after this change. Let's start...'

According to Athan, he had designed his body to be a perfect one with new organs and functions that could make full use of his Abyssal Void of Fabrication.

However, its blood and flesh were still weak, at epic-level previously. But after eating this legendary fruit. Athan gained more profound insight into the evolution of the body, and his physical strength of the body reached new heights.

After this modification process that lasted for ten days...

The blood inside his body had turned fainter red, and there were extremely tiny white motes in every single cell that consisted his body. Blood, all organs, bones, everything had those super tiny white motes.

Athan opened his eyes and stood up as he suddenly felt hungry.

This hunger was due to the modification he had done to his body. He had changed the entire blood-producing system of his body and enhanced his bone marrow system in all bones to make his overall body stronger.

Currently, the blood flowing inside Athan's body was very faint and thin. It was not at all energized and at full power. But its strength was still the same level when he finished enhancing his body to a new level after eating the fruit.

What does that mean?

It means that he had just broken the limit of his fundamental body and could make it even stronger, just eating things containing blood and flesh power, aka, high vitality food.

For starter, Athan consumed some voidpulse aspect of his soul energy and produced a lump of high-quality meat at epic-level.

He ate the meat as the blood and flesh energy of the meat was absorbed by his body.

His body function and digestion started to work as the white motes absorbed the energy to make his blood, bones, everything stronger.

Those white motes were tiny but had space in them, and they were now part of his body. So as they absorbed the blood and flesh energy, Athan's entire body became more vigorous.

But a single small piece of Epic-grade meat was not enough. Athan felt super hungry because his body was feeling a "lack" of strength despite his physical body not weakening.

His body didn't weaken, but the limits of his body increased, and those white motes were exuding hunger for his body.

FEED US! WE ARE HUNGRY is what those quadrillions of white motes spoke. They were even tinier than cells since they were inside every cell to make them stronger, essentially making his body stronger once they were fed.

The new Abyssal Blood Crystal that was just produced after Athan made his body stronger was also way more powerful than previous abyssal Blood Crystals.

"I need to go deeper in this zone...to satiate this hunger in one go; I need something even stronger than the fruit I just ate," Athan muttered as he flew up and consumed twenty old abyssal blood crystals and activated his Extremity Drifter void frame.

"Good," Athan nodded as he felt his hunger subside after consuming twenty abyssal blood crystals as his body became even stronger. Basically, he just fed his body the energy of abyssal blood crystal for now.

Athan consumed more abyssal blood crystal as he wanted to test the limits.

Athan stopped after he consumed a total of 61 abyssal blood crystals as his body was on the verge of exploding.

'However, my soul is still not feeling the pressure. It's good that I am making more enemies since I don't think 5 or 10 legendary souls would cut it for my current quality soul to reach its full potential before I even think of upgrading it like my body' Athan thought before he flew out of the island.

Athan's soul was empty right now, in a sense where his soul had low energy in it. It was powerful, just its aura would scare some people, but the quantity of soul energy and the potential of his soul was not at full. His soul was small in size, and it could become bigger, way bigger just by eating pure soul energy.

However, he didn't do that previously because his body was too weak, and even though the current soul was small, its qualitative power was high, causing the previous body to barely even contain the soul inside it. But now that he strengthened his body to a whole new height, he could start devouring souls as well.

To put it simply, his soul was ten meters big, and its soul energy and his soul body were akin to the most powerful metals in the world.

The thing was that the limits of these most powerful metals were higher; they could be stretched to become bigger and contain more energy. They could go up to become 100, 1000 meters bigger, but Athan's soul was still at 10 meters.

So, this 10 meters big Athan's soul could get bigger and more powerful energy-wise as long as he devoured pure soul energy; he could further his soul energy intensity and comprehension as well since it hadn't reached its full "potential" yet.

...

With 61 abyssal blood crystals' energy inside Athan's body that he had to let out and then gather the stock of meat or natural treasures containing powerful vitality to satiate his hunger, the whole Vitality Spectrum Zone welcomed a period of chaos.

While Athan was busy causing chaos, simply to satiate his hunger and get stronger just like other people, Tiana, Avelia, and others inside the origin AVOF realm regained consciousness after the voidlings finally made them strong enough fundamentally to survive and live inside the Origin Abyssal Void of Fabricator's realm.

The cocoon around them slowly dispersed as they opened their eyes and saw many curious creatures and a mystical world around them.
