The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan was currently testing the Blood Magic: Slaughter Covenant. He could feel that there was more to this power than he could currently see.

Whenever he used this so-called magic, he could feel a new kind of force, and it was extremely similar to the rule power used by people of the Ruler plane.

The blood patterns that appeared all over his body increased his physical strength even more. If he used this magic power in tandem with the normal enhancement brought upon by the horned crown, He felt that he could clash against the peak-Ruler level plane beings.

Of course, If they used powerful and deadly spells, Even he would be injured but not as much as before, and he could definitely survive those attacks if he defends himself with his domain powers.

Athan called Skylord from the playground and told It to attack him.

"Roar?..." Skylord revealed a confused expression and confirmed, " I attack you, master? "

" Yep. Use your most powerful attack on me. " Athan nodded with a smile. Skylord confirmed with him because he didn't use any domain power nor put up any defensive abilities.

" Okay, Master. I will use my most powerful attack that contains all of my offensive means. " Skylord nodded and enlarged its body.

The small and cute dragon became a majestic four-winged dragon as it opened its mouth, and a dark rod with silver string materialized before four different colored energies gathered around it in whirling motion that contained offensive powers like Slash, Wither, Shatter, mireser, poison, lightning, dust, plasma, etc.

" Come on! " Athan shouted, and Skylord released the attack.

Athan blocked the attack with both hands covered with blood gauntlets that he invoked with Blood Magic: Slaughter Covenant.

The blood ball that was orbiting around his unima core shined as Athan's primal energy consumed after he used even more Blood Magic to strengthen his gauntlets.

Skylord's powerful attack clashed with Athan's two hands.

*BOOOOM....*

The clash pushed Athan back, but the attack didn't manage to break the gauntlet. Athan checked and saw a faint crack on the gauntlet, but that's all.

In this clash, He purely used Blood Magic: Slaughter Covenant and his physical body that wasn't enhanced by the horned crown.

After Athan broke through the primal barrier, His altar spirits also became stronger because they were also baptized by primal energy, which changed their conceptualized energy into primal conceptualize energies.

But Athan's unique primal energy from unima core was exclusive to him as his altar spirits can't use it.

Athan continues to test the Blood magic: Slaughter covenant and found that this was purely offensive magic.

After breaking DeathKnight's and Lucent's defensive abilities easily, He asked the strongest defensive altar spirit: Mike's altar spirit named Aegisron. 

This altar spirit looked like a thick tree, but instead of normal branches, It had solid big shields with the shape of Lily flowers. The flowers were made up of diamond, Earth, Metal, and other defensive primal energies along with defensive mystic powers such as toughen, converge, heavy, mend, flourish, etc.

It could project the same flower shields that could superimpose onto each other and joint together, which forms extremely tough shields. The spirit could also defend itself greatly by utilizing its own body.

Lucent tiger could also make illusions of its own self and fight individually, but they can't support Athan too much since enemies were on Ruler plane.

People on the Ruler plane also don't take their altar spirits out and instead fight individually since they could use their altar spirit's power as long as they are inside their soul realm. But The next plane after the ruler plane increases the importance of altar spirit more in a different way.

When Athan clashed against Aegisron, He indeed felt obstruction, but it wasn't much because the special attribute of this blood magic broke its defense.

When he felt the slight obstruction, He could feel the blood-red patterns showing its magic as he suddenly felt even more strength inside his hands and gauntlets with his blood boiling like never before as the defense of Aegisron broke apart. This magic brought pure, raw physical strength to him when he used it.

After checking all the things about Blood Magic: Slaughter covenant, Athan started to recover his geno energy.

...

After thirty days, He opened his eyes and decided to go out once again. 

After leaving the giant valley between the two mountains, He moved for a few hours and arrived at the humid area with lots of giant trees and water bodies. 

He continued to move, and after ten minutes, he felt the ground trembling constantly and several fissures formed on the ground.

Athan flew even higher and reduced his presence before hiding inside a cloud that he formed and observed.

*Crack...crack...crack...*

The ground created even more fissures before it shattered and formed a giant hole.

*Einnnnnnnnnn.....*

A strange cried echoed from the hole, which even brought headache to Athan, and a revolving slim white laser shot out from the hole straight towards the place where Athan was hiding.

Athan saw it coming, and with a thought, He retreated inside the special space because he didn't have time to create a solid defensive measure in that situation.

Athan observed the hole from special space and muttered, " What the heck was that? "

The ground trembled once again as he saw several white legs with sharp furs around the borders of the hole. These twelve legs had blood-red patterns on them.

Athan was clearly shocked because this giant hole alone was bigger than the previous abomination monster. 

*Einnnnnnnnnn.....*

Athan finally saw the monster climbing out; it had twenty-four blood-red eyes and looked like a spider, but Its body had a huge dark brown shell and on top of the shell were shining silver spikes with blood-red patterns on them.

Athan knew that if any beings were passing by or some beings with good detection abilities, then they would be attracted here because the strange cries of his damn monster were too loud. He could swear that this was the loudest scream he had ever heard.

But he also saw this as a chance as he thought with his eyes shining, ' I should try to attack it with my full power and geno frame. If I can kill it, then I can fill more of my blood mark and get the reward without any hassle. '

He didn't waste time anymore and directly wore the geno frame before charging towards the giant spider-shelled monster.

The monster sensed Athan directly as its twenty-four blood-red eyes shined before a bright blood red web shot out from its eyes. This web was meant as offensive instead of trapping because Athan could feel the sharp and destructive power from the giant web.

But he didn't care as he could only see this giant shelled spider as an Ant that he could crush easily...with his geno power.

Athan went straight towards the head of the giant spider, breaking apart any obstruction coming his way.

*Splatt..*

*Einnn...Einnnnnnn.....*

Athan crashed into the monster's head, successfully creating a hole that was five times bigger than his body as the giant monster entered the rampage due to the damage it suffered. The silver spikes with blood-red patterns started to shine, but it was of no use because after Athan entered inside its head, he stopped his charge and released a purple supernova from his body and destroyed the whole head of the monster.
