The Tale of the Void Emperor

After the baptism process was finished, Athan flew in a random direction until he encountered a large territory with a giant castle in the middle of the city.

After easily breaking all defenses, he broke into the main palace of the castle.

*BOOOM...*

The King sitting on the throne was looking at a magical frame that showed the situation outside. However, suddenly, the walls of his castles were destroyed as he saw someone coming inside.

"Who the he-"

Athan appeared in front of him and grabbed his neck, "where is your teleportation formation that leads to the central realm of 6th Lerento?"

The King almost pissed in his pants, feeling the powerful body aura of Athan that Athan intentionally let out. The King was a pitiful 3rd Patch Legendary powerhouse.

"I...I will lead you there, my lord," the King spoke with fear.

...

After half a day, Athan finally arrived back at the Plaza and contacted Lily.

"You are back, Athan?"

"Yep. I am coming there to enter inside the Ark space. I have already solved Mimi's problem as well."

"Woah, that was fast. How strong are you right now?"

"Not the strongest yet, but after several years of training, I will become strongest of this Orchos Firmament, and then we can finally leave this place," said Athan as he still had yet to absorb even one legendary soul he got. They were still in the refinement process of becoming pure soul origin power.

...

After a few minutes, Lily came to Athan to pick him up and was surprised to see a slight change in his appearance, "Woah, you seem different. Also, what is happening? All these people in the Plaza are talking about something phenomenon and that multiple Everlasting Legendary powerhouse's death."

Lily was confused, "Everlasting Legendary powerhouses are supposed to be the most powerful, right?"

Athan nodded with a smile, "It's nothing. My journey was fruitful, and I got a few hundred souls of Everlasting Legendary powerhouses after killing them. That's the reason for phenomenons occurring outside."

"What? Seriously?" Lily was wide-eyed, "but you said you were not the most powerful yet."

At this moment, some people approached them and looked at Athan with a mocking smile, "Hey man, you should lower your blowing a little."

"My main clan's patriarch also died, and even though I am from side branch, I can't let some random guy insult my clan's patriarch," a woman with regal and fluffy blue-red dress spoke with a dark expression.

Lily looked at her with a grin and spoke, "Little bitch, if Athan said he killed them, then he killed them. Now, if you don't want to die, then go away and don't disturb us."

"Let's go, Athan," Lily grabbed Athan's hand before she started walking.

"You filthy Epic ant," the woman snorted as her eyes shined, and she attacked Lily with a soul attack.

Lily suddenly sensed a threat, but Athan's eyes turned cold as they glowed with a black sheen.

He blocked the soul attack, planted a seed of abyssal darkness inside the woman's soul, and suppressed her soul as she fainted.

"STOP!"

The enforcers with powerful Disaster-aura arrived, and one of them even had a 1st Patch Legendary aura.

"What's going on?"

"Sir, they attacked us. Look, the daughter Ruinas Craiz was here, and they attacked her."

"Ruinas Craiz? The clan master Ruinas?"

The enforcers knew about him. They knew that this Ruinas Craiz had a larger connection with a powerful clan and knew that their patriarch, an Everlasting Legendary powerhouse, died.

"You are really courting death...," Athan muttered as he looked at the main enforcer and exploded with his physical aura.

*Drrrrrrrrrrrr....*

Suddenly, the Entire Plaza turned silent.

Everyone except for Lily felt intense suffocation before they heard Athan's word, "carve my face in your soul. You will see it everywhere very soon."

"LOOK AT ME!"

Everyone's eyes were filled with fear as they wondered why such a strong powerhouse was here? This Plaza could only aid people up to the peak of 1st Patch Legendary.

Everyone looked at Athan with fear.

Seeing that, Athan pointed at Lily, "Carve her face in your soul as well. From now, we will be staying here for a certain period of time, and if you disturb us, then...."

Athan paused before he looked at the woman who attacked Lily and pointed the finger at her as a black light shot out.

Everyone looked at the woman whose eyes suddenly shot open as she regained her consciousness only to...scream madly.

They saw her body disintegrating while she screamed before only her soul was left.

Athan pointed his hand at the soul as grey chains appeared around it before he opened his mouth and devoured the soul, causing everyone to be utterly horrified.

"This will be your fate."

Athan devoured the soul through his mouth to increase their terror even though he could just directly put it inside his void region.

After saying that, Athan grabbed Lily's hands as both of them started walking towards the Blessed House district.

...

After they left and entered inside the portal gate, everyone wiped the sweat from their face and wondered who the hell was that death star?

"Anyone knows him?"

"I have never seen him."

"He said they will see his appearance everywhere soon; what does he mean by that?"

"Sigh...That was one hell of a scary experience. Will I make a breakthrough cause of that?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Yeah, right."

...

"So, Athan. How did you kill them? Because you just said that you are still not most powerful in Orchos Firmament," Lily asked with curiosity.

"I was temporary most powerful in Orchos Firmament," Athan said with a faint smile, "using that chance, I gathered resources and souls."

"I see...It seems that we need to work extra hard to catch up," Lily said with a wry smile as she looked at Athan.

"Don't worry about physical strength; I got a perfect resource for it, and I can share that as well," Athan said with a grin, "once I give another boost to everyone connected to my soul, I will use that treasure through that connection."

"What boost?" Lily asked with curiosity.

"After this baptism, my void region upgraded to a brand new height with many new functions in it. I can connect your inner spaces and souls to my void region since you are transcended by me and became void beings."

"First, I will give you the soul boost since I can do that after baptism and then use the new function of the void region."

Athan told her about his experiences and also the Unbound Spectrum Vitality Heart.

Lily continued listening to him while nodding with a smile on her face.

However, there was a spark in her eyes filled with longing and love, 'Oh Athan, when I can come in your arms and kiss you? I am longing for that...'

Athan saw Lily's gaze turning to something familiar...he had felt that gaze before, and even he himself produced the feeling in that gaze as well.

"Lily?" Athan called out, but Lily smiled, and hurridly leaned on towards Athan and stole a kiss by pecking Athan's lips before sending Athan into the Ark space since she knew that Athan was familiar with Ark space's power and wouldn't resist.
