The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan was surprised at Efyeed's ability to pass its thoughts without forming symbols, "What happened, Efyeed? You are able to pass your thoughts without forming symbols now?"

"Yes, Master. It is thanks to your unique soul energy. It has upgraded some of my basic abilities and improved my existence. I really want more of master's unique power, but I can only digest a small amount after some period of time."

"Oh?... How did it happen? Can you tell me in detail?" Athan asked with curiosity.

"Yes. The white power of soul energy stayed inside my body and slowly started to affect my basic qualities. It was like....it was slowly turning into some kind of power that could upgrade me. Finally, just a few days ago, all that white power transformed into a unique chaotic power that upgraded my abilities and improved my existence."

"Interesting...That is the fundamental property of voidpulse, but without anyone to turn it into something, the voidpulse inside adapted themselves according to Efyeed's structure to benefit him. Hmmm...This could be only possible due to my soul bond with Efyeed." Athan muttered as he reached a conclusion based on things he knows about voidpulse so far.

After thinking about it for a few moments, he smiled and asked Efyeed, "How much do you want?"

"Not much, just the same amount as the previous time. After all, I need a long time to digest it."

Athan nodded and waved his hand as he gave 40% of his void pulse to Efyeed.

"Efyeed, I think that the second time will not take you that long to digest, so once you are done finishing this amount of voidpulse, notify me, and I will give you more."

Efyeed shook and glowed slightly as the voidpulse entered inside it, "Thank you, I will notify master when the time comes."

Athan nodded with a smile before he flew out of the barrier field and went to a nearby empty hill.

He stood on the ground and stretched his body before muttering, "It's time to advance."

He looked at the huge amount of Kuriazak fruits inside his void region and took all of them out before he sat down crossed-legged.

There were a total of 391 Kuriazak fruits that Dean Lenix has sent him over the past period of more than a year.

The one fruit directly called a catastrophe since he had already spent more than a year without catastrophe, and he had already shortened the catastrophe timing by eating seven fruits last time.

So he needed to eat three fruits to call the next catastrophe, but since he spent more than a year without any catastrophe, The next catastrophe arrived right after he ate one fruit.

Athan closed his eyes as he was ready to defend against the catastrophe inside his void region.

Some chaotic clouds gathered above Athan while destructive, chaotic Talonflame birds came out from Catastroh Codex and started attacking his Orderic Codex, Chaos Curtain, and others.

But he was not worried as the solution was very simple.

Athan snorted and called a rain of abyssal darkness, which destroyed every catastrophic power coming out from Catastrophe Codex and easily survived this Essence order catastrophe.

After passing this catastrophe, the dark chaotic cloud above him released some strange force that Athan let enter inside his body since it would give a boost to his Orderic Codex, Order Eidos, and Chaos Curtain.

After all, those three things are the source of his power which grants him Order force and Chaos force.

Orderic codex decides the order force's recovery speed while order eidos produces the order force by using orderic codex, which is its base. If orderic codex upgrades, The recovery speed increases, and if order eidos upgrades, the potency of order force increases.

On the other hand, If chaos curtain upgrades, it will produce a more powerful chaos force from chaos essence passing through it.

Athan had also upgraded his Umbrella storages connected to chaos curtain and made them bigger so they could store more chaos essence.

After observing the changes, Athan continued to eat fruits because he didn't experience the supposed breakthrough in this tenth catastrophe.

He then continued to eat fruits, and after ten more fruits, He experienced another catastrophe and passed it easily as well.

Some time passed as Athan went through two more catastrophes by eating twenty more fruits.

Many people saw the commotion and were speechless when they saw so many Kuriazak fruits near Athan.

"What the hell? Isn't he afraid that he will die?"

"I remember he went through eight or night Essence order catastrophes before, and now he went through three more after I arrived here. That's very strange because It only took me eight Essence order catastrophes to breakthrough."

"Yeah, Although the number of catastrophes varies according to people, I haven't seen anybody going through more than twelve catastrophes in any phase of Orderic Catastrophe stage."

...

After some time...

Athan was frowning while eating the fruits, 'I already passed fifteen essence order catastrophes, smh, when this will end?'

It's not like he was getting more benefits and more upgrades because he was going through more catastrophes. In the end, the level of order force and chaos force that everyone has at the peak of the Essence order phase is the same.

That's why Athan didn't like it when he had to consume way more resources to bring catastrophes that brought him minor upgrades each time.

But with no other choice, he continued eating the fruits...

After a while, he passed through his twentieth catastrophe, which finally brought the change.

"He broke through! Holy shit, he went through so many catastrophes before finally breaking through."

"Sigh...This is the case with geniuses. But he turned out to be way more monstrous than other so-called geniuses. I guess the Chaosverse making things difficult for him is reasonable considering that he has the power to kill even Zen order masters despite being at the same stage as us."

"Hahaha, He is in such a different league that I don't even feel envy. All he has is my admiration and fear."

Hearing that, everyone nodded as they watched the dark chaotic cloud enveloping Athan in dreamy and white blue sparks nodded.
