The Tale of the Void Emperor

" Wait for a second...I think genome power might work here. " 

Athan activated his Geno art as a purple-horned crown appeared on his head.

His physical power increased incredibly, and a purple aura also coated his body.

This genome power was getting more mysterious in his eyes because his Jigen persona could use all of his powers but couldn't use any ability related to his genome power.

Taking a deep breath, Athan punched out with his full strength as a purple fist projectile also materialized around his fist, making it look like his fist was a sizable purple fist projectile.

*BOOOOOM....*

The primordial barrier started to disintegrate after Athan punched out. Shortly after, the barrier blasted into nothingness as a mass of primordial force entered his source core.

He successfully broke through from the peak-spirit astride plane and stepped into the Trinity source plane.

His source core also started to shine as it gained a dark brown hue, and its speed of producing primordial force increased.

Athan's capacity to hold soul energy and recovery rate of soul energy also increased.

Right after that, Athan's vision blurred as he arrived at a new place.

He arrived at the 3rd layer of the Roumbra Blood war dimension.

" Looks normal..."

Athan looked at the surroundings and saw vast grassy land that stretched as far as he could see with his naked eyes.

But he was startled at the atmosphere of this layer. It was full of dense primal and genesis energy and was filled with profoundness.

" It's on par with the legendary sector's blessed land. " Athan muttered after he took a deep breath.

Athan took out his Jigen persona, Altar spirits, and Silvestra.

" Wow, Master. This place is so good. "

" Yeah, Our speed of energy recovering will be very fast here. "

Lucent, Skylord, and DeathKnight marveled at the place. At the same time, Silvestra looked at Athan before asking, " Master, Can I continue to stay inside the special space? I need to train more so that I can break through and become Natural Disaster Grade beast. "

" Oh...? Are you close to the breakthrough? That's fast. " Athan was surprised by the growth of Silvestra, " Alright, You can continue to train. "

Athan then sent Silvestra into the special space.

" Master! we also want to get strong, But for that, we will have to depend on you. Hehehe. "

Skylord called out to Athan while sniggering.

DeathKnight and Lucent also nodded as they couldn't wait to get more strong and help Athan more.

" Of course I know. I'll upgrade your soul altar shortly after gathering some more primordial force. Until then, You three go together with my Jigen persona and explore the surrounding land. "

" Understood, Master!  We'll flip every blade of grass on the way and won't leave any stone unturned. "

" Bwahahahaha..."

" Nice one, DeathKnight. Hahaha. "

DeathKnight spoke with a serious expression while Skylord and Lucent laughed.

Speechless, Athan shooed them away as they left with his Jigen persona. And then, Athan sat down crossed-legged after forming various types of barriers around him. One of them was the detection barrier.

He took out the primordial force from his source core, which was producing it faster than before, and channeled it towards his Eurudite palace.

In one of the sections of his Erudite palace lay three soul altars of his altar spirits. He channeled the primordial force towards them and started to upgrade them.

He had made some changes to his Erudite palace previously when he took some breaks. His Erudite palace now had a big central hall and four chambers around it—two on the East and North-east while the other two on the west and south-west. These four chambers are connected to the central hall by big doors that were always open.

The chamber in which the soul altars of his altar spirits lay was called the Spirit chamber. He had yet to give names to the other three chambers.

Athan channeled the primordial force inside the soul altars of his altar spirits as the upgrade process of the soul altars started.

Athan created a channel such that any primordial force he produced would be channeled towards the soul altars until they are finished upgrading.

After doing this, Athan started to fill up the third branch of his genome tree because he had no other things to do.

' After all, If I want to progress in the Trinity source plane, I need primordial force, which is currently being used to upgrade soul altars. '

Honestly, He was uncertain about the progression in this plane because of the unique things he had compared to regular people.

The Trinity source plane is related to three main powers source that all people possess: Body, Mind, and Soul. 

This plane has five sub-stages.

1st stage: Primordial Palace Shift.

2nd stage: Primordial Blood Core.

3rd stage: Primordial Mind Space.

4th stage: Primordial Soul Shrine.

5th stage: Trinity Source.

After reaching the 5th stage, They will have to grasp something to break through to the next plane, and nobody knows how many years one takes to grasp it and breakthrough. It depends on each person's hard work and accumulation until this moment of their life. Of course, it also depends on their comprehension ability regarding their powers and what they are good at.

Athan had some changes inside him compared to regular people.

First, the Unima core instead of the typical primal core.

Second, He could get an understanding of magic in a short time without having to comprehend them specifically from the magic cores due to the Unima core.

Third, The genome tree inside his soul realm.

Fourth, His Genesis Avatar always had that horned crown on it, which appeared after using his Geno Art: Exalted Purple for the first time.

He was actually frustrated at the lack of control over his own progress and, in a way, his life.

He knew that the Ark, Mimi, the special space, and whatever unique thing he has right now would come to bite him back in the future, and that's why he wanted to hurry and get strong.

From Qerin, He knew that a higher, more powerful, and the more dangerous world existed out there.

But more shockingly, The existence of Mimi, her parents, the Ark, and Genome power indicated to him...or more like He guessed from their presence that...There should be an even higher world than Chaosverse.

Of course, This was just his guess, and he still didn't know if that was really the case.

' Screw it—no point in thinking about such things. The main focus should be on getting stronger. I have become strong enough to control my own life. No way in hell am I going to be at the mercy of others in this life. '

A fire to get stronger than ever burned inside Athan's heart.
