The Tale of the Void Emperor

" Master! We have become much stronger and also received our third ability after breaking through to the third stage of the spirit armament. Let's teach that arrogant Loong a lesson. "

Skylord's voice rang out because it didn't like how Loong glanced at Athan as if looking at a prey.

The Loong was ready to pounce on Athan the moment he appeared, but It felt a subtle threat from him and was waiting for a chance to strike down Athan.

But Athan suddenly felt something and looked inside the special realm where the egg he got after defeating the crystal king kong lay.

The egg actually attracted the primordial force from its source core, and after it absorbed some, It finally started to crack.

" You three. Aid my Jigen persona and defeat that Loong. "

" Yes, Master! "

They were also excited to fight, so they transformed into their Armament forms on Athan's Jingen Persona.

His Jigen persona then dashed directly towards the Loong in the sky, who roared in anger as it felt that the being in front of it is overstepping its bounds by challenging it.

On the other hand, Athan entered inside the special space and observed the egg that was cracking.

*Crack...*

A small arm came out from the egg as it broke a part of the eggshell.

The hand had four fingers and a thumb. Its skin was light peach color skin and covered in snow-white fur.

Gradually, the eggshell broke apart entirely before revealing a figure covered in snow-white fur.

" Ummm...."  The figure looked humanoid, but it had a darkish silver horn on its forehead that shone with mysterious luster. Its head looked that of a cute ape with smooth skin.

The ape looked at Athan with some confusion before walking towards Athan and letting out an incoherent sound.

Athan stretched his right hand forward, which startled the mini king kong as it paused in its steps.

But not for long as it once again started walking forward and grabbed Athan's hands.

" Wo..wa...wa "

Athan seemed to have understood something and cut his finger as a drop of blood dropped on the hand of little king kong before it was absorbed inside.

Athan already had a subtle connection with this beast since it absorbed his primordial force, but after this, the connection strengthened.

The little king kong then sat down and closed its eyes before absorbing the primal energy and genesis energy.

Athan was surprised by the amount of primal energy and genesis energy it was absorbing.

He was even more surprised when he saw the little king kong gradually becoming bigger in size.

" That's some rapid growth. But not strange considering the amount of both primal and genesis energy it is absorbing."

Athan could sense that the little king kong also had a natural core inside its body. It was gradually awakening since it started absorbing the primal energy and genesis energy.

The power he sensed from the little king kong was slightly similar in nature to the Loong that was being beaten by his Jigen persona.

" No wonder it only hatched after absorbing primordial force. "

He was always wondering why it didn't hatch. Now he finally knew that it needed the primordial force as a final catalyst to hatch from the egg.

...

Outside, The Loong was on the verge of death after being continuously hit by a wide variety of attacks.

" Rawrrr....I will deal with the finishing blow. "

Skylord returned to its full form that looked like a majestic dragon, but it still paled in comparison to the Loong. After all, Loong in front of them was a natural disaster beast.

But since it was on the verge of death, Skylord opened its mouth and released its breath attacks with full power.

" Cataclysmic Destruction. "

Even though this was not the ability it received, it could use some natural moves that awakened after it reached the third stage and evolved.

The Cataclysmic Destruction was the compound attack of its all offensive attributes in the form of a mighty breath attack.

This breath attack was usually a broad and large-scale attack, but Skylord controlled it and condensed it into a beam to hit the head of the  Loong.

Loong was ready to dodge despite the injuries, and it could too, but the scenery around it changed as giant vines trapped its whole body that was hundreds of meters long.

In reality, nothing like this happened. Lucent just used its illusion power to show such illusion since the Loong was weakened to a degree after getting severe injuries. Its spirit has waned, which made it easier to trap it into an illusion.

Skylord's destructive beam attack hit the head of the Loong and successfully killed it.

After that, a light brown brilliance gathered in front of Athan's Jigen persona before entering into Athan's soul realm.

The light brown brilliance was none other than the primordial force.

To break through to the Trinity Source plane, Athan will have to temper every inch of his body with Primordial force. Of course, There were other, more powerful uses of this Primordial force too, but first, one should temper their body and breakthrough to the Trinity Source plane because the speed to create Primordial force by his source core while being in Spirit Astride plane is not that fast.

So if they carelessly used it, they would delay the process of tempering their body.

Athan, who was inside the special space, felt the change instantly, but he was currently observing the little king kong...no It was not little anymore because its height already reached 2 meters and looked bigger than Athan.

Athan could also sense a powerful aura from it.

" Hmmm...It looks like this beast doesn't have the same attributes as that Crystal king kong. "

The crystal king kong had a black crystal body, but this beast has snow-white fur instead. Their horns were also different.

He was looking forward to the power of this beast. All of its potentials were unlocked gradually as it absorbed the primal energy and genesis energy in massive amounts.

Athan decided to let the little king kong train while he sent his Jigen persona on an adventure.

On the other hand, He started to fill up the third branch of his genome tree with his sub-soul that became 30 meters tall after Athan gave it remaining pure soul energy from the soul jade fruit.

He could temper a small part of his body with what little amount of primordial force he gathered, but he decided not to do it. He wanted to gather enough to temper his body in one go.

The final barrier to break through to the Trinity source plane required his body to be fully tempered. Otherwise, He can't break that primordial barrier.
