The Tale of the Void Emperor

After arriving at the small passage blasted by him, Athan said to Tiana, " Go inside this passage and you will arrive at the place. The people outside likely won't give up so I'll have to do something about them, you go first and wait there, I will return shortly. "

Saying this he directly left without giving any chance for Tiana to speak.

' This...Although I know he is very powerful but...there are so many people outside ' Tiana worriedly thought, ' I hope nothing happens to him. '

...

The people surrounding the pond were dumbfounded for a short while before they recovered and started talking.

" Th-that young man is very powerful, Those Attacks of Elemental Archmages didn't even put a scratch on him..."

" How can he be so powerful at such a young age? "

People were doubtful and nobody wanted to go first.

Someone in the crowd suddenly spoke up in a loud voice, " Humph, What are we all afraid of? There are so many of us here and he is only one, Let's all go inside together. "

Just as he finished speaking, A Big splash sounded as Athan flew out from the pond.

Instantly, Everyone's attention turned towards him.

But he didn't waste his time as he instantly started channeling Lightning elemental energy from his Energy Realm and this he did not use only 1 drop but WHOLE 5 DROPS.

He raised both of his hands as he channeled the energy and a big mass of Lightning Energy gathered on his hands.

Since he used 5 drops at once, The resultant energy was way too big and he almost lost control.

People who were near Athan became paled with fright sensing the energy and hurriedly backed off.

A man who is in his forties spoke in a trembling voice as he pointed at Athan's hands, " Y-you what are you going to do with that? "

Athan was currently holding A The Lightning ball with a diameter of 30 meters on his hands.

Fearsome lightning sparks were being released around it.

Athan looked at the man and spoke with a grin, " Say If any one of you were to hit with this, can you survive? "

The man gulped fearfully as he just directly flew away, his companions also followed him seeing him running away.

The members of Cloud Fantasy Palace looked at each other and found the situation unbelievable, Just a moment ago this guy was speaking to them politely and told them to take care of his companion, and now this attitude.

Inside their heads, they thought, ' are you sure they are the same person? '

The elder who spoke with Athan smiled amicably and said to Athan, " Can't we solve this peacefully? That thing your holding is radiating very fearsome power, but it can't hit everyone here, right? " Pausing for a bit, She continued, " And by doing this, you are offending everyone here, you will likely be hunted in the future. "

Athan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the amicable face of the elder and said, " Elder, since you took care of Tiana for a while, I'll help you on a small matter in the future, But you can forget about going inside the pond. "

The amicable face on her face fell as she said coldly, " I am saying this for your own good, You can't possibly kill everyone here and by doing this, you are also offending many so many factions. "

Athan shook his head as he said, " You don't have to worry about me but worry about your own safety. "

He then swept his gaze at everyone and said, " If you come inside the pool, you will die, so if anyone has a death wish, they can go ahead. " After saying this, Athan did something shocking.

He dropped the fearsome Lightning ball towards the pond below.

*chriiiriiiiriii*

*chriiiriiiiriii*

...

The Lightning ball blasted on the pond and All of the fearsome lightning energy got mixed with the pond which electrified the entire pond.

The few Grade 5 beasts and other low grades beasts instantly died even if they were in the corner of the pond.

After throwing the Lightning ball down he said in a loud voice, " If you can survive staying this pond then...Your death will be waiting for you there. " Athan then laughed in a domineering manner and spoke before diving into the water, " If you are not afraid of death, then you can follow me. "

Seeing Athan diving inside the pond that was electrified with fearsome lightning energy, They were once again dumbfounded.

A man who looks to be in his fifties from the crowd said as he stepped forward towards the pond, " I have Lightning Affinity and I have also reached Elemental Archmage, Let me check how powerful the lightning energy that electrified the pond is. "

The Crowd looked at him as he arrived at the edge of the pond and after that, he created a small lightning ball and neared it above the surface of the pond.

Just as his lightning ball was half a meter above the surface of the pond, it went out of control and attracted the lightning from the pond which dissolved his lightning ball instantly which promoted the man to instantly pull his hand back.

The expression on his face was one that of an extreme shock and seeing that the people around him asked, " What happened? how powerful is this electrified pond now?

" impossible, how is this possible? no... " The shocked man mumbled as he did not hear the question.

A man who had light brown hair and was muscular shook the shocked man's shoulder which brought him out from his trance as he noticed everyone looking at him.

" How powerful is it? " The man with light brown hair asked.

The Lightning Archmage looked at everyone and shook his head, " We can't survive in the pond, you will die the moment you enter inside the pond..." pausing for a second and after taking a deep breath, he explained, " I have had a chance to meet with a senior who had reached Elemental Overlord and he even showed me his Lightning energy and it's power, but..."

" but? what but? don't tell me that youngster's energy is even more powerful than it? " The female elder on top of the Holy Cloud beast could not help but interject as she spoke with an unbelievable expression. "

The man nodded his head and his eyes showed clear fear as he spoke, " Both can't be compared, This lightning energy is at least twice as powerful as the one which shown to me by the senior who reached Elemental Overlord. "

Hearing the shocking words, an uproar spread amongst everyone.

Athan naturally didn't know how powerful his energy was compared to Elemental Overlord. He thought that since both are liquified energy, they should be the same but it is not true.

The elemental Overlords uses Mystic Energy to liquefy the Gaseous elemental energy into Liquified Elemental Energy, but in Athan's case, The ones doing the job were those Strange Crystals which were the result of Black whirlpool absorbing the essence of elemental energies.

...

...

Meanwhile, Athan arrived in the cave and entered the passage that was opened by him. After entering, he sealed the passage once again by melting the Rocks with this Fire energy, as for how he did it? it was simple. he first created a small channel and slowly extracted fire energy from a single fire drop and melted the rocks around the passage.

He only used less than a quarter of fire energy from that drop to do this process.

He then went inside the passage and arrived at the place he found.

This place was similar to the previous cave but there was one very mystic thing inside the cave.

In the middle of the cave was a small pond and a very beautiful tree was rooted in the middle of the pond. The tree was beautiful because it had colorful Fruits handing on it and A light blue colored fruit was currently inside the pond excluding dense water energy, it probably fell from the tree and dropped down.

Tiana noticed the arrival of Athan as she ran off him excitedly and said with a flushed face, " What are this tree and those fruits, they are giving me a very mysterious feeling."

Athan was also gobsmacked when he first came because the tree and those fruits indeed looked very mystical.

There were a total of 6 fruits,

A red-colored fruit that indicated the Fire Element.

A Dark blue colored fruit that indicated the Lightning element.

A Brown colored fruit that indicated the Earth Element.

A Green colored fruit that indicated the Wood element.

A Cyan colored fruit that indicated the Air Element.

And a Sky blue colored fruit that was dropped from the tree that indicated the Water Element.

Athan looked at those fruits with shining eyes as he thought, ' I wonder what are the effects of those fruits, they don't seem like simple fruits that just have concentrated energy as each of those fruits have different types of patterns carved in them. '
