The Tale of the Void Emperor

After Athan went to check on Tiana, Avelia, and others, he guessed that they might break through to the 2nd order of Zen order elite in the next three to five months by creating their first mini chaotic world.

On the other hand, Athan decided to break through to 2nd stage of the Atmospheric body realm since he had already mastered Condensation of Tiny chaotic power.

The training of the body was simpler but painful from Zen realm order.

To increase the strength of the body, one had to grasp Body zen order sets and...infuse them into their own body. This process is painful, but it is the only way to advance further in the Atmospheric body realm.

Since this process is painful, not many people continue strengthening their bodies and just focus on Essence and Soul to advance in the way of chaos and order.

However, to Athan, this was even easier and faster. People would take it slowly to infuse Body zen order sets in their body due to pain, but Athan would just endure and ignore the pain and advance fast.

In the next month, Athan also mastered the Initial-Elite Body order method: Icaros Leanus.

After mastering it, he got an idea. 

Icaros Leanus was a straightforward chaotic power, and it only affected one's body. It releases hellish white flames to strengthen the body. Even though the process is painful, it is the fastest way to strengthen it and reach the threshold.

However, Athan decided to make use of his knowledge of Zen body order sets of Icaros Leanus and upgrade the body chaos trait, Physical spirit stream.

He got this Physical spirit stream body chaos trait from the Heavenly Stream Pressure body order method, and it worked in a similar fashion as the Physical force. After breaking through to the Atmospheric Body realm, Athan could even combine physical spirit stream and Physical force to achieve more strength. 

'Since The Giant and The Tiny body chaos trait combined, I should be able to upgrade Heavenly Stream Pressure as well,' Athan thought as he started trying. After all, there was no harm to him in trying.

Since he is a Runic Arist of master level, he has an advantage in this regard. He first consumed his order force and created zen order sets of Icarus Leanus before infusing them into the Heavenly Stream Pressure body chaos trait's body order sets.

He faced some blocks in the combination process, but he quickly overcame those with his superior comprehension.

After a few hours, he succeeded as a new body chaos trait was born inside him.

Athan floated in the air as a burning white physical stream released from his body.

Yes, the physical stream force he releases now is combined with the hellish white flames of Icaros Leanus!

He moved his hands and legs as he took a stance of Assault of Heaven and released the technique.

*Shuaa...*

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM...*

He didn't add any nature of chaotic power, but still, the attack was devastating. However, it didn't remain in the atmosphere for longer since the atmosphere of this chaos phenom dimension was way stronger and robust as it swept away the burning area of white flames created by the Assault of Heaven.

He also released physical force from his body and activated his Duality Extreme body chaos trait, which is a combination of The Giant and The Tiny as he became a twenty-meter tall giant.

As his body got stronger, The Giant chaos trait also became stronger. That's why after the combination of traits, He could become bigger than twelve meters tall, and his current limit was twenty meters tall giant with explosive muscles.

Athan maintained his twenty meters tall giant state as he flew towards Drizzly and woke her up.

Drizzly opened her eyes and, seeing Athan raring to go for fights, she smiled and asked, "Are you going for a hunt?"

"Yep, let's go," Athan nodded with a grin as he cracked his knuckles. He had gotten stronger quickly but didn't get many chances to do battles.

"Zorgia, you stay here with Lady Fu with those two elders and keep an around Tiana and others."

"Y-young master Athan, you should take Koinshi with you. After all, this is dangerous," Zorgia spoke with hesitation.

"No need, if there is danger, then I'll face it myself," Athan indifferently spoke before he turned to Drizzly, "Let's go."

Drizzly smiled wryly and nodded as she and Athan flew deeper into the dimension.

After ten minutes, they sensed a powerful presence as a flying beast with a sharp beak and four wings dashed towards them. It had burning black flame and golden patterns on its body.

Seeing the beast, Drizzly face turned grave while Athan's eyes shone with a dangerous gleam as he activated all of his powers and chaos traits.

A solid dark green skeleton armor appeared over his body that covered his body, Jadeite Exo-frame, Thorn Mail.

Afterward, his entire body turned emerald with silver patterns on it as he activated Chaotic Body-Aegis Starwood.

He also activated defensive technique, [ Tri-Plate Coverage ] and [ Quadic Tower Protection ] as triangle plates and a solid tower conjured around him.

Athan activated all of them in two seconds, and right at the moment, the beast also arrived in front of Athan with its terrifying beak that glowed with destructive energy and hit Athan.

"Athan!" Drizzly shouted, and in those two seconds, she had also activated her offensive power to attack the beast.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.....*

The beast's beak broke through all defenses of Athan, including the Exo-Frame, before hitting him.

Athan felt that an earthquake hit him as the destructive vibration passed through all places in his body.

'Damn...The attack of Evagon-grade beast is really destructive, even though it is in its early Evagon-grade,' Athan thought as he was shot back like a bullet with a cracked body that seemed to be falling apart anytime. The emerald crystals blasted off from his body which was actually his body.

Drizzly's attack also hit the beast, but it wasn't much effective as the beast targetted Drizzly afterward.

Athan hurridly devoured all destructive energies from his body with abyssal darkness and popped a pill that he created with voidpulse in his void region as his body recovered quickly. His natural healing factor and Aegis Starwood helped in that.

'Hehe, now this is an exciting battle,' Athan's eyes gleamed as he dashed towards the beast.
