The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan was attacking the seven head and four-handed giant snake, but he also received attacks from it.

The seven heads of the snake released sparkling and colorful liquid at a fast speed that covered a large area. It could also condense the wide-area spit attacks into condense bullets or beam attacks.

When Athan came near here, The snake mostly attacked Athan with condensed attacks.

People who were paying attention to Athan were shocked when they saw that the attacks from the snakeheads disappeared in front of Athan instead of hitting him.

Athan was non-stop attacking and even decapitated a dark blue head that released speedy and powerful lightning attacks.

After receiving a few more attacks from the giant snake, Athan muttered, "  Looks like it's full. "

With his Rule domain, He could store any attack that came towards him into a dimension where Time and Space are in absolute stasis, and he can then release the attacks in any direction he wants.

In simple terms, Jigen Cut: is used to store attacks inside the absolute stasis dimension.

And Jigen Release: is used to release the stored attack from the stasis dimension towards any direction.

Of course, there is a limit on how many attacks Athan can store inside the stasis dimension. It depends on the intensity and potency of the attacks that Athan stores inside.

In terms of grading, He can store ten A-grade attacks or six S-Grade attacks. S-grade attacks have a higher amount of potent energy, so He can't store many of those attacks inside his stasis dimension.

The range he can send attacks inside his stasis dimension is the range of his Rule domain. 

This Rule domain of Space-Time Jigen is not as wide as his Flexile Blood Rule domain, possibly due to the nature of power he comprehended.

This Time-Space Jigen rule domain is only 30 meters radius around him.

" Jigen Release..." 

Athan released all of the stored attacks from his stasis dimension towards the giant snake.

*Shaaaaaaa.....*

He also didn't stop with his other abilities like Blood magic spells and other attacks from his domain.

His army also constantly attacked the giant snake.

" Holy crap...That human has comprehended a powerful dimension rule with control over space and time. How is that possible? "

" That's...terrifying. The human race shouldn't have any high-grade magic inheritances because this is their first time in the Roumbra Blood war. That means...."

Other people gulped after thinking about the possibility.

" That means that he received high-grade magic related to dimension magic of space-time and then comprehended a Rule power related to it. But...How is this possible? It takes years to master high-grade magic. "

Fear was apparent in the eyes of many people. It was general knowledge that without mastering the magic, One couldn't comprehend any Rule power related to it. Meaning that...The human race man had first mastered the magic and then comprehended a Rule power related to the magic.

" I don't believe it! How can one have such a high level of affinity and comprehension ability? Even we, the Greater five races, can't master high-grade magic this fast, even with our fully unlocked innate talent related to certain types of high-grade magic. "

This was the case with Eleknie. Her innate talent was an attack-type innate talent that gave her powerful corrosive darkness and sealing ability which matched that of the high-grade magic she inherited from her family recently when her innate talent bloomed. But even she took four years just to learn one magic spell, Purgatory Darkness Seal. 

If Athan knew this, He would be shocked and marvel at the property of the Unima core. 

Other people had a lot less load since Athan started to attack, and they continued to watch with disbelief as Athan finally killed the giant snake monster.

Naturally, He also dealt most of the damage despite arriving in this boss-zone halfway.

[ Congratulations! You have dealt the highest damage to this boss monster. You are rewarded with three evolution orbs, one soul jade fruit, one thousand menima crystals, and five hundred armament fragments. ]

After a while, Athan appeared at another location in the general second-level battlefield and found a good spot before creating several defensive spell runes.

After creating them, He put up barriers around him. With this, His barriers would remain intact even if someone attacked him as any damage or breach of the barrier will be filled up as long as he has primal energy inside his unima core.

He then exchanged the armament fragments into points because, unlike other people, He directly fed evolution orbs to his altar spirits.

The first time, He gave three evolutions orbs to each of them, and the second time, He gave two evolution orbs to each of them.

His altar spirits were still absorbing the evolution orbs, and Athan guessed that they would be done in two days.

" I should also step towards the second stage of Spirit Astride plane. "

The second stage of the Spirit Astride plane: Soul Transformation stage.

Athan closed his eyes and ate a soul jade fruit.

His 113 meters tall soul body started to become bigger slowly and finally stopped at 130 meters tall.

He still had two more soul jade fruits. Before fighting Eleknie, He had two and he used one while he was trapped inside the Purgatory Darkness Seal. After that, He looted one from Eleknie's body and he got one more from the last boss zone where he ranked first.

Athan sensed his soul body and ate one more soul jade fruit because he had to reach 150 meters tall.

After reaching the 150-meter soul body mark, His soul will transform, and he will unlock soul sense.

Normally, People who rank top will receive soul jade fruits, and other people will also receive fruits that boost their soul but not as effective as soul jade fruit.

With the soul fruits, They can rapidly increase the size of their soul body to reach the 150 meters mark of the soul body.

Another source of soul strength was their altar spirits. When their altar spirits reach the third stage in spirit armament, their masters also receive a boost in soul strength that was equivalent to one soul jade fruit. After that, They can continue fighting to get soul fruit rewards and they can also cultivate together with their Altar spirits by letting them train in Erudite palace and slowly get soul source feedback from them. 

The second way was a normal way used by people that are not inside the Roumbra blood war.

Since Athan had enough soul jade fruits to directly reach that 150 meters tall soul body mark, He didn't waste time doing it.

His soul body was getting bigger and bigger before it hit 150 meters tall soul body mark.

Right after that, A transformation occurred as his soul body started shining in golden light and started shrinking.

But His sub soul body, which was constantly practicing the Genome technique by filling up its third branch of the genome tree, was not affected by this change.

Athan was feeling ethereal during this transformation. It was as if he was elevating to a higher existence, and this was due to him unlocking his soul sense and his soul transforming into a higher form of soul.

His soul was condensed and became powerful. His soul body, which previously looked light gold with a gaseous structure, changed.

It shrank to 6.1 ft in height. This height was the same as Athan's height.  This soul body had a bright golden and condensed body that looked just like Athan.

One of the mystical things was the light gold energy constantly surrounded the transformed soul body of Athan.
