The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan managed to kill two enemies in ten minutes while Tiana and the rest killed one each with the use of their genome power. Right now, They were gathered in the special space to recover.

Each one received a fruit that strengthened their soul while Athan received an additional armor.

" Let's stop for a while and form our domain core. We are already familiar with our domain powers, so it shouldn't pose much problem to us, and we don't need to worry about the lack of energy here. "

Everyone nodded and sat down to form their domain core. Athan did the same.

' Looks like this trial is giving out things that are needed to the participants as a reward. If so, then this is our best chance to get strong. ' Athan thought as he started the process.

The profound domain plane has five stages.

When one finishes forming all three domains of their altar spirits, They are considered at the first stage, Domain Formation. 

2nd Stage: Domain Core

- In this stage, The people have to create a domain core inside their soul realm. This domain core will contain powers of all three domains of their altar spirits, but to form it, They need to make use of the profound meaning they received in the Soul Altar plane, some soul energy, and lots of genesis and elemental origin energy. After the core is formed, They can have their personal domain that contains all abilities and powers of their altar spirit's separate domain.

3rd Stage: Body Strengthening.

- After their domain core is formed, They need to strengthen their body by using their own domain. If they have a weak body, they won't be able to make progression in the next stage, and at this point, the conceptual energy of their domain is the only way to strengthen their body.

4th Stage: Core refinement

- After they have formed the core and strengthened their body, They can start refining the core to make their personal domain stronger. This refinement process needs an abundance amount of elemental origin energy & genesis energy because they need to condense all of their elemental origin energy regardless of its element and combine it with their genesis energy to create a small pond. After doing this, they need to put the core inside the combined energy pond and refine the domain core to make it stronger. If they have a weak body, they can't sustain the pond of mix elemental origin energy and genesis energy in their bodies and thus injure themselves. They need to refine the core until it reaches the limit. Generally, it requires five to six refinements.

5th Stage: Primal Break.

- In this stage, They have to use their profound domain core and try to sense the primal barrier and break it using their domain power.

...

Everyone was in meditation as they were forming their domain core.

They needed to spend a lot of time, effort, and energy to create the domain core. 

Athan was inside his soul realm and had used all three of his domain.

[ Domain of DeathKnight ], [ Domain of Skylord ] & [ Domain of Infinite prism, Lucent ]

He needed to condense all three domains using genesis energy and some soul energy into a round core. Although it sounds simple, it's a bit tough since he needed impeccable control while condensing them.

Tiana and others were also doing the same.

All of them did this slowly as they condensed their domain bit by bit since they had no lack of energy here. For normal people, they have to prepare lots of Origins stones and Genesis stones before creating the domain core since they will have to activate their domain for a long time, and if they ran out of energy in the middle, their efforts would go to waste.

After fifteen days of gradually condensing their domains, They finally created their domain core.

Their combat power increased with this one step as they could now use the abilities and powers of all of their domains simultaneously and even combine them inside their personal domain.

...

" Let's fill up our genome power while we are at this and go out to fight. We can fight a round or two before coming back and continue our progress by strengthening our bodies. ", said Athan.

Mike clenched his fist as he thought, ' This time, I will definitely win without using genome power. ' 

Tiana and others were also thinking the same, except Qerin.

Qerin was internally lost in thought, ' Should I tell Mike that I regained my memories and I'll have to leave at some point? I also want to take him with me, but I wonder if he will come with me. Hmm...If I invite Athan and others, Mike will not stay here alone. Yep, I'll do this. '

After that, Everyone spent twenty days and filled their genome power.

Athan looked at everyone and said with a serious face, "Don't take unnecessary risks and use genome power; it is your own power, and there's nothing wrong with using it. " 

Hearing this, Tiana, Avelia, and Mike flinched, but Athan noticed that and said while shaking his head, " Don't be stubborn and use genome power at the start of the fight to get the advantage but even so, don't let your guard down. We are here to temper ourselves, and we do this by fighting others and see how they fight while we try to counter them. We don't need to take unnecessary risks by not using our own powers because that's the foolish thing to do. "

Athan remembered about his previous life and spoke with a mocking smile, " If you have the power, then use it. No matter in what form that power comes from. It is something to be used for your survival. "

' If I had this power in my previous life, I wouldn't have died so miserably. '

Tiana thought about it and nodded with a smile, " I promise that I will definitely do my best in the fight for my survival and you. "

Avelia also clenched her fist and nodded.

" Sorry, bro. I was stubborn and thought about fighting without genome power, but I will abandon that thought and do my best from the start. ", Mike spoke as he scratched his head with an embarrassing smile.

Athan sighed relief as his point went through them and smiled, " Good. Now Let's go. "
