Void Evolution System



Over a month had passed since the second round of entrants made their way into the Void Corridor. In this time, a number of things had happened.

For one, several experts from both sides saw rapid increases in strength. Most of this strength came from the abundant resources of the Wild Continent, many of which had efficacy rivaling direct leveling fruits.

However, there was a strange phenomenon that occurred when they tried to enter Legacy Tombs to attain ancient inheritances.

Regardless of which tomb it was, which allegiance the ancient expert had, they'd only open their inheritances to humans. These humans felt incredibly blessed, as, besides the Legacy Tombs that only accepted humans, the rest didn't have inheritances at all!

Compared to the great rumors about Void Corridors, reality was extremely disappointing.

Though, why did it seem less like the realm was trash and more like it was raided beforehand?

Nevertheless, this possibility was so unfathomable that it wasn't given any thought. Rather than focusing on the mystery of the inheritances, the two sides realized it was more beneficial to compete for resources.

As such, scuffles started both between opposing forces and those on the same side. A fierce melee broke out for several days before the leaders of both forces quelled their troops and brought order to the realm.

After all, the secondary goal that all people held in coming to the Wild Continent was exterminating the enemy. How could they tolerate internal conflict at such a time?

By the time the second week rolled around, the conflict evolved into several full-scale battles between Heaven's Army and the Nox Army.

Countless people on both sides died, but these deaths were usually limited to ground troops and those under the late stages of 4th class. On a battlefield of experts such as this one, they were nothing more than cannon fodder.

Deaths among those above that level were far more disastrous. Each one meant a substantial loss of battle power, and while several experts from both sides died, the Nox currently held the advantage.

They simply had too many experts. There were several tens of thousands of late-stage 4th class denizens in the Void Corridor, along with a few thousand extreme peak masters, however, the Nox had at least thousands more troops at both levels.

Heaven's Army was fighting an uphill battle, but since when were they not? They endured as they always did and fought for the sake of their lives and their homeland.

Currently, the two sides were at an involuntary ceasefire.

3 days ago, a mystical scent started to permeate the Wild Continent. This scent could instantly revitalize one's body. The Nox and Grand Heavens Boundary denizens had completely different physiques, but the effect of the scent remained the same throughout.

This could only mean it was a heavenly material. Resources under the level of heavenly materials simply didn't have overarching effects that didn't vary from person to person.

On another note, the only benefit humanity's birth physique had over other races was the fact that they had high compatibility with all resources, a product of their high adaptability.

Nevertheless, the emergence of a heavenly material was a major event. It wasn't something that could be approached carelessly, as any small factor could potentially ruin the blooming process of such a precious material.

As such, both sides recalled their forces and began slowly preparing for the birth phenomenon to show itself so they could charge to the heavenly material's location and claim it.

In a land of darkness somewhere on the Wild Continent, a scene resembling hell presented itself to all present,

Countless feral and mindless black beings were chained together in a massive pit, their numbers reaching the tens of millions. They tried to climb over each other and even devour each other, but the muzzles and chains keeping them down didn't allow them to act rowdy.

This pit stood at the forefront of the Nox base camp, holding the Lesser Nox beings who had been brought into the realm.

Past the pit was a large structure that looked like a cross between a palace and a temple. This was the residence of the Nox Army's leader, a Supreme at the 9th revolution.

This structure was surrounded by a plethora of smaller structures that housed the rest of the Higher Nox population, however, at the moment, most of the important members of the Nox Army were at the Supreme's residence.

"As you know, our primary goal in this secret realm is to cripple one man. The rest of Heaven's Army is merely a group of ants we must crush before achieving our goal." The Supreme stated, panning his gaze over his subordinates.

"Has anyone found information about that man yet?"

Despite the Supreme's prompting, nobody spoke up. Despite spending a month gathering intel through several scuffles and battles, they hadn't caught a hint of the man's existence.

The Supreme's eyes turned cold. "You are all powerful experts, yet you can't find a single boy?"

"Sir Theon, it isn't that we haven't found him, but rather that he hadn't appeared at all. It is almost as if he is purposefully evading our forces." A High Commander said quietly.

"Expand on that." The Supreme said.

"Yes, sir. We received confirmation from the Envoy that the boy entered the Void Corridor, so we can be sure that he is present somewhere on the Wild Continent. However, we have scoured every inch of the continent in the past month and we have yet to find traces of him. It is likely that he took refuge within an inheritance site and hid there." The High Commander responded.

The Supreme furrowed his brows. It wasn't an impossible theory. After all, the boy they were chasing was a human. He had access to the inheritances that all others were barred from.

"Hmph, does he truly think he can hide from us? Even if he managed to perceive the threat of our presence, to think he would be such a coward." He scoffed.

"However, Sir Theon, what if it was merely happenstance? Even if the target's strength is weak, we should still be prudent. No small character can garner the attention of the Emperors."

The Supreme glanced at the High Commander and nodded. "You are right. Heighten surveillance of Heaven's Army and fortify the campsite. If he has the guts to confront us, we shall face him with our full force."

The Supreme's decision went into effect before the meeting even ended. As soon as they finished speaking about the topic, the Supreme's orders were carried out.

At the same time, they moved on to discussions about the heavenly material.

However, Sir Theon, the Supreme, still had his mind on the previous topic.

Their current goal was both unheard of and demeaning. For a Supreme like him to be tasked with crippling, not even killing but merely crippling, a rising genius who wasn't even at the late stage of 4th class yet, had such a situation ever occurred in the past?

The reason Theon accepted the order willingly was because he was curious. He also had ambitions, and as someone with huge ambitions, meeting the man who could cause an Emperor to act so out of character was imperative.

Even as his subordinates discussed how to deal with the Supreme of Heaven's Army, the question remained in his mind:

'Just who is Damien Void?'

BOOOOOOM!
