The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 715 - Destination: Main Devil Realm 1

"Me?" Yokan was startled, "why?"

"Because we will be going to your main devil realm," Athan said with a grin as a dangerous glint flashed across his eyes.

In the past year, he had also gathered much information. The thing regarding what Mimi's parents did here was huge.

After all, they had destroyed one of the most powerful Empires here with precise planning with tricks and their power using the treasure, Ark of Exordium.

As such, almost everyone here knew about that matter.

"Main devil realm?" Yokan said with confusion, "why do you want to go there? Are there some other devils you know there?"

Athan didn't answer but took out a two-meter tall from his void region and put it on the floor. This attracted everyone's attention as the egg was exuding a powerful aura.

"Woah, Athan. Don't take out such things casually," Yokan wryly smiled as he sensed many gazes directing towards them.

"This Epic-grade egg is yours if you lead me to a place in the main devil realm," Athan said. His expression had a simple smile, but it told Yokan that he was not joking.

Yokan put a palm on the egg before closing his eyes. After two seconds, he opened eyes that had traces of excitement as he nodded with a grin, "deal. It looks like you haven't tried to hatch it at all, hahaha. In that case, I can add my clan's bloodline in it for a perfect fusion."

"Take it," Athan said with a carefree expression, "we will leave after an hour."

"Really?" Yokan's eyes shined. He thought he would get the egg after he led Athan to his destination but didn't expect he would get it in advance.

"Thanks, brother Athan! I promise I won't run away after taking it," Yokan said as he put the egg inside his inner space.

"You can't run away anyway," Athan nonchalantly said before he expressed his curiosity, "but you are a bit too excited for this than I expected. I don't think Epic-grade eggs are that hard to get for you considering your backing."

Yokan nodded with a smile, "it's true that I can get them, but this egg is different. I've never seen this species before. It's from a lower Lerento, right?"

"Indeed, It's from 2nd Lerento," Athan nodded.

"No wonder," Yokan nodded with a grin, "My occupation is also Beast Tamer, and I like to do experiments by infusing my clan's bloodline into different beasts when they are still in their embryo form. I fiddle with this to create a powerful beast."

"I see," Athan nodded before he turned to the front and closed his eyes to watch the hundreds of battles in his mind, "we will leave after an hour. get ready."

Soon an hour passed as Athan opened his eyes...

"I'll contact Yokan," Joe said as he saw Athan opening his eyes.

"Thanks," Athan nodded.

"Here, one more drink on me before you leave," Joe said with a laugh as he passed a glass to Athan.

"Alright," Athan said with a smile.

After a while...

Athan and Yokan left the Skybreath tower and then left the Plaza as well before arriving outside in the city.

While walking, Athan used one of his newfound abilities and contacted Lily directly to her soul using his soul power. This was only possible with people who have accepted Athan's Touch of Transcendent and Seed of Transcendency.

...

At this moment, Lily, Huarin, and Mimi had a freestyle battle among them and were planning to fight in Arena after that as well once Dreevindo comes out from his Blessed House.

This new island was way better than the previous one after they paid more to get the best Blessed Houses for them. The island had food and drink facilities as well as a direct teleportation platform that could allow them to go directly to any district from here.

"Wait!" Lily said as she suddenly stopped with a surprised expression on her face.

Mimi and Huarin also stopped before they approached Lily, "what happened?"

'How are we able to talk like this, Athan?' Lily replied to Athan as she felt a connection with Athan and saw a mirage of Athan in her mind talking to her.

'It's because of the soul abilities I used on you all,' Athan said with a smile, 'anyway, I contacted you all to tell you that I am leaving for a while.'

'Where?' Lily asked as she raised her eyebrows.

'That...I will tell you later,' Athan said as he shook his head, 'anyway, you all still have three years left to train in your blessed houses, right?'

'Four years,' Lily replied with a nod.

'Then I will return after four years,' Athan said, 'until then, get as powerful as you possibly can.'

After that, the connection was cut off.

Lily looked at Mimi and Huarin before telling them what had happened.

"Brother Athan...he is not going to do something dangerous alone, right?" Mimi asked with a worried expression.

Lily helplessly smiled spoke, "he didn't tell me anything."

On the other hand, Huarin's expression became determined as she spoke, "then we keep our focus here. At least, we need to get powerful enough to be aid of Athan rather than holding him back."

"True," Lily nodded as her eyes blazed, "let's continue!"

...

"Let's go, brother Athan. We will first go to Sorendal firmament chasm where there is a hidden portal of my clan," Yokan said.

Athan snapped out of his thoughts as some sadness flashed in his eyes and nodded, "alright."

The reason for Athan's sadness was that he tried to contact Tiana, Avelia, Sen, and others using his newfound powers but failed.

He couldn't make a connection with the origin AVOF realm like he could previous despite reaching 55% in the understanding of AVOF.

'Sigh...' Athan shook his head, but a determined expression soon appeared, 'I just have to continue moving forward and get strong as fast as I can to reach there eventually.'

'The first thing I need to do is to strengthen this physical body.. The soul power and my AVOF have gotten strong to be contained in this physical body right now,' Athan thought as he looked at his hand that had black and white cracks.
