The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan appeared outside and said with a smile, " Let's resume our journey, seniors. "

Boji didn't even look at Athan despite being angry and controlled himself because if he produced any ill intentions towards Athan and his party, Then his soul will receive damage on the level of ill intentions he produces. If he produced killing intent, then his soul will die, and if he produced intent of harming them, then his soul would receive the damage accordingly.

On the other hand, Rehan smiled kindly and asked, " We can resume our journey, but I don't see your companions. "

Athan nonchalantly waved his hand and said, " They won't be coming with us from now on. Surely I don't need to tell you in detail regarding them...right, seniors? "

" Of course, hahaha. Then let's go and continue. The Trial sites may open anytime now. "

Rehan laughed out loud as he took the lead and started moving.

Boji also started moving along with Rehan and Athan too, followed them while keeping a 10-meter distance away from them.

Tiana and others didn't waste time and started training.

...

They flew for a few hours and what Rehan said indeed came true. 

A cave door appeared in front of them while they were moving.

" Looks like we found an entrance to a trial. " Saying this, Rehan smiled towards Athan and said, " What do you plan to do now? Come together with us or wait? Although you couldn't leave this dimension with the token, You might be able to participate in the Trial. "

Athan shook his head and said with a wry smile, " You two can go first senior, I will follow you shortly. "

Saying this, He disappeared in front of them.

Boji spoke with a dark face, " That brat is casually using the teleportation artifact now. It looks like it still has plenty of energy. " He then looked at Rehan and said with contempt, " Looks like whatever you predicted isn't happening. "

Rehan shrugged and said, " Although I want those treasures, we can't force them or fight them anymore. We actually don't have anything to lose by letting them come with us, but if the opportunity ever presents itself, We may be able to get those treasures. Now let's enter this Trial and hope it's not as dangerous as the previous one. "

Both of them entered the cave after that.

...

Inside the Special Space...

Mimi and Lucky were fast asleep while Athan returned and told Tiana and others about the Trian entrance.

" We have two blood tokens so two people can go in. Although we still don't know if it will work, we should give it a try since we have the special space. I will definitely go in, so who wants to come with me? " Saying this, Athan looked at Tiana and Avelia mainly.

" I'll go with you. Give your bro a chance to be helpful, hahaha. " Mike spoke with a laugh right after Athan was finished.

Although surprised, Athan smiled nodded as He and Mike returned while the three ladies stayed behind while watching everything from the cloud screen.

Outside, Athan threw blood tokens towards mike before saying, " Inject your soul energy into it. "

Mike grabbed the token before injecting his soul energy, and he felt a connection with it, " Done. "

Athan nodded, " Let's go. "

Both of them then entered the cave.

But just as they entered, They heard voices in their head and every other trialist.

[ Lower energy level being discovered as participants, Adjusting the trial to achieve balance and fair play. ]

[ Adjusting...]

[ Adjusting...]

...

The cave was just an entrance as everyone had actually appeared in a completely different space and at different places.

Even Mike and Athan were separated, which nobody expected to happen.

'Shit...'

Athan looked around him, but except for thick trees, there was nothing else.

Inside the special space, Qerin started to panic after not seeing mike around Athan.

" I don't see mike, T-this...What is going on? "

Tiana and Avelia were also shocked as they didn't expect that Mike and Athan would be separated upon entering the cave because it looked just like a normal cave.

When Rehan and Boji entered, They moved fast and directly disappeared inside the cave, so nobody expected that trial would lead to another space, and those seniors also didn't tell them.

At this moment, Mike was also at a different place inside the same space, but the area around him didn't have any thick trees but instead had ponds, grassy land, and small plants.

[ Trial Adjustment completed. Trial conditions changed. ]

[ Welcome to the Trial of Pandingram ]

[ Every participants' Energy Realm, Soul Realm, and Genesis Realm are nearby sealed. ]

The twenty-nine participants, including Athan and Mike, felt some kind of force as their various powers were sealed except physical bodies. 

Even Athan lost connection to his Energy Realm, Soul Realm, and Genesis Realm as he becomes a normal human being.

[ Every participant's Physical aspects are nearby sealed and capped at 1000 KG of body strength. ]

Everyone felt another wave of power wash over their bodies as this time; they felt severely weak physically.

[ The trial will start after one more participa...Error, The last participant entered the trial zone, and thus the trial will start now. ]

[ Please read the rules and become the champion of this trial to receive grand rewards. ]

At this time, Many beings were cursing as to what the fuck was happening.

Rehan and Boji were also separated, but both of them knew what was happening, and they also cursed their luck.

They are also clueless about trials because every trial is different. Like, completely different.

Some trials are held in a separate space like this, while some trials have huge buildings like Towers, Castles, etc.

No one also knows what kind of trial it will be since it will only be explained when all slots of that said trial are filled, and every trial has different slots.

Athan read the information about the trial from the screen that appeared in front of him.

[ Welcome to the Trial of Pandingram ]

[ Kill the various beasts and other participants and earn points and scores. Use points to buy things from a shop that can be used inside this trial. ]

[ The trial will finish after 5 days or When there are only 10 participants left. ]

[ After the trial is finished, Everyone will receive rewards based on their score. ]

[ Press ' O ' and good luck ]

Athan saw a big ' O ' at the end, and he stretched his hand to press it.

Right after that, the screen disappeared, and another, smaller screen appeared.

[ HP: 100, Energy: 100 ]

[ Current Score: 0 ]

[ Current Points: 0 ]

{ Shop }

Athan pressed on the shop as a list of things appeared.

There were two parts: Skills and Items.

The Skills part had various skills such as Fireball, Lightning ball, Dash, Thunder slash, etc.

The Items part had various items such as Basic Sword, Basic Spear, Thunder Sword, Flaming Bow, etc.

When Athan looked around, The screen disappeared, but when he wished it to appear, The screen once again appeared in front of him.

" I should check if I can enter the special space or not. "

Athan muttered as he willed to enter the special space and...

He succeeded.

Seeing Athan appeared, Qerin looked at Athan with tears and panic.

She was so worried for Mike because everyone was stronger them him here.

Athan felt all of his realms unlocking as he could feel energies and powers once again. He then looked at Qerin and said with a serious expression, " Don't worry, Nothing will happen to Mike. Since everyone's startling line became the same, it won't be easy to kill each other, and Mike would also act cautiously. "

Tiana and Avelia also consoled Qerin to calm her down while Athan said in a hurry, " Alright, I don't want to waste time here. I will try to find mike first so that we can work together and can come back to this space anytime. "

He then left the special space and appeared outside.

But right after that, He once again lost connection to his realms and powers.
