The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan didn't remove the horned crown from his head since it didn't consume any of his geno energy after his second branch filled up.

After flying for an hour, He once again felt something. However, This time, He was ready. He used his domain instantly before creating hundreds of his clones, with each illusion clone using the same energy as a big hexagonal energy wall appeared on top of them.

*Dong...Crack..*

Athan saw that the one who was going to crash him this time was a giant horse with three heads with a single horn on their heads and four wings. It looked mostly brown with some peach color and had golden patterns over its body.

*Neighhhhh...*

The horse cried out before all three of its mouth opened as a sonic shockwave mixed with dark green energy released towards Athan.

The sonic shockwave with dark green energy destroyed the already cracked hexagonal wall along with all of the Athan's illusion clone instantly. But he was ready for the incoming attack as he used his empowered body and energy to space jump to the left side before shooting himself towards the horse.

The three-headed horse actually revealed a sneer when it saw Athan coming towards it. It knew that this human wasn't as powerful since it didn't sense any rule power from him.

The three-headed horse was ready to attack, but that's when it saw a chakram that appeared 5 meters across him.

Athan suddenly exchanged his position with the chakram and arrived at a 5-meter distance across the three-headed horse before he waved his right hand that released a chasm severing towards the three-headed horse.

It was too late for the three-headed horse to dodge, so it put up the defense, but its eyes widened in terror, seeing that his defense barrier failed even to stop the purple slash for a second as chasm severing cut off all three of its head.

" Phew..." Athan heaved a sigh after killing the three-headed horse. He could really feel the difference between Origin energy and Primal energy this time.

If he were still in the Profound domain plane, he wouldn't be able to move and use his origin energy in the presence and rule domain of this three-headed horse. The only way he could beat him would be to use his genome powers. But now that he broke through, He could somewhat fight head-on against this three-headed horse because of his unique primal energy. He could move and even barely defend against it.

But soon after killing the three-headed horse, Athan felt a pulling force as he disappeared and appeared at an entirely new place. His face changed as he saw several beings of different races in front of him, and he instantly entered the special space before observing them and started listening to what they were saying.

" We shouldn't fight with each other for now and kill that monster first. As for the rewards? We'll decide that when the time comes for it. " A booming voice reverberated from the grakil race man.

" Humph, Whatever. I am fine with any arrangements. " A crysax race woman snorted and said with a dangerous gleam appearing in her eyes.

There were a total of four beings, a grakil race man, a crysax race woman, a human man in his thirties, and a dision race man. The dision race man looked behind as if he sensed something, ' could it be that was my imagination? '

" We should fight together, but I want 25% of the total rewards. Otherwise, I won't co-operate with you. " Roden spoke; he had short blond hair and looked buffy.

The dision race man put the previous matter at the back of his mind and also nodded in agreement with Roden and said, " Same with me, I want 25% of the total reward. Otherwise, you can forget about co-operating. "

Qeinila, the crysax race woman, thought, ' Idiots, You can decide whatever here, but the final reward will still depend on everyone's ability. ' She openly agreed but thought differently.

They continued to talk for a while before they finally decided that everyone will have an equal share of whatever rewards they receive.

This area looked like a valley between two humongous mountains, and those four being soon left from Athan's area of sight.

" It seems like they couldn't defeat a monster individually and decided to co-operate. But what kind of monster is so powerful here? "

One thing he couldn't understand was that why did he appear at this place.

He didn't think much about it for now and decided to fill up the pond of geno energy to at least 70% before going out.

He still had 40% of his geno energy left, so he only needed to practice for nine days before he filled up his geno pond to 70% and went out.

Right after he went out, He received a voice inside his head.

[ You have passed the initial test of Bloodpath, and now you have entered the real zone of the Bloodpath trial. Defeat powerful monsters and find treasures. Fill up the Bloodmark to receive the supreme reward. ]

Athan felt a burning sensation on the back of his hand as a mark appeared. The mark looked like a red circle with a hexagon star inside it.

' It didn't tell me how to fill up the mark, but it should be related to the monster those four beings talked about. ' Athan thought about it and started moving forward. He moved in the same direction as those four people.

After a while, He felt the shockwaves of energies and stopped.

' Looks like a battle is occurring in the front, and looks like there are many participants in this battle. ' Athan suppressed his energy and presence as he flew down and started moving towards the direction of the battle by foot.

After a while, He finally saw the battlefield as his face showed a slightly shocked expression.

A huge monster that had a deer's body, twelve horns, eight legs with sharp claws, and two giant wings that were two times the size of his body. This monster had countless wounds on its body, and one of its eye sockets was bloody with no eyeball; its other eye was bright red that displayed pure rage.

Its whole body was five hundred meters long and two hundred and fifty meters tall. The four being he saw nine days ago were injured to a certain degree, and there were additionally six beings of a different race in front of them. The six beings included two-man from the terred race, one blumbra race woman, one amarphy race woman, two human race members that consisted of a man and a woman.

A loud bellow released from the monster's mouth as terrifying shockwaves released towards the surrounding that brought heavy pressure to fall upon everyone as they stopped fighting.

Athan was also within the range of this suppression, but it was nullified shortly due to the faint purple aura that always protected his body when he wore the horned crown.

" Looks like this is a good chance...I'll deal the finishing blow to that monster at any cost, but... I'll have to make some plans."

Athen returned to the special space as the battle between those beings also resumed.
