The Tale of the Void Emperor
chapter-14

Athan stood up while still having a dumbfound expression on his face as he muttered, " WT..." before finished saying another WTF he snapped out his thought as his face turned red from excitement.

but soon he calmed down as he thought, ' Hmm, My strength definitely increased and by a LOT it seems, maybe I should first check the toughness of my body. ' thinking about it he entered a Fire chamber that was not occupied.

After entering he stood in front of the row of handles, " I should start with Level 7, from level 4 to level 7 is actually a big leap and I will be standing in the middle this time. "

Deciding that, He pulled down the Level 7 handle.

After that, intense flame sprouted from the middle and he slowly moved forward, His excitement increased with each step because he was not feeling anything, not even the heat.

Even after arriving at the range which separated the rest of the area to the platform in the middle where the intense flame was burning, Athan still didn't feel a thing, Not a single sweat as he could not even feel the heat, it felt like his body has its own normal temperature and that flame in front of him could not affect it at all.

He then took a step forward inside the raging flames and right after entering Athan's face changed.

His face showed shock, disbelief, excitement, etc because, HE-STILL-COULD-NOT-FEEL-A-THING.

Not even a single ounce of heat. He felt no difference between standing inside the platform or outside the platform.

" Crap..." Athan muttered with a dazed face but soon he snapped out of his thought and arrived at the row of handles once again before pulling down the level 8 handle.

This time, instead of walking slowly, he walked fast and arrived in the middle were fearsome flames were dancing, but after standing in the middle for 1 WHOLE minute, he still could not feel a thing, ' damn, isn't my body a bit too powerful? no-no there is still level 9 and level 10. '

Afterward, Athan pulled down the level 9 handle and stood in the middle while feeling disbelief once again because he still could not feel anything, ' This....'

He then dazedly walked to the row of handles once again before pulling down the level 10 handle and also dazedly stood in the middle with the same feeling, because he still could not feel anything even in level 10 difficulty.

After being in disbelief for some time, Athan snapped out of this thought.

' Wait, There is also the possibility that my body gained a very very very high resistance towards Fire and Thunder after what happened before, Those two energy f**ked me upside down before giving me new body structure

so there was another element at level 10 difficulty instead of thunder and fire then there is a possibility to take damage...but after the black whirlpool absorbs the essence of other elements, I will similarly gain this ridiculous level of resistance of those elements. '

Athan then came out of the Fire Chamber and entered the Thunder Chamber before directly pulling the level 10 difficulty handle and indeed, he also could not feel anything even after standing in the middle.

"Although toughness of my body is still in question against physical damage and other elements, I should first check out my physical strength, "

Athan then started to walk slowly, because he didn't want a similar accident to happen, but as he walked he gradually increased his walking speed to get familiar with this newfound strength.

After a while, Athan Once again increased his speed and started jogging, a few cracks spread while he was jogging at first that scared some surrounding peoples but after few minutes he controlled that and could jog normally without damaging the surface of the mountain.

Just like this, Athan kept increasing his speed while adjusting to his new strength as he finally started running...

Cracks also spread while he was running but it took him only a few seconds to adjust this time, as he kept increasing his running speed.

Athan then passed by the area where people were still active before entering the back of the mountain.

But he didn't realize that he caused a commotion in that area because his speed was too fast.

" What was that? I suddenly felt wind hitting me. "

" Me too, I almost fell down from my chair. "

" I SAW I SAW, A Shadow passed by at a very fast speed which generated wind, I could only see blurry but I'm sure he was a young man around 18-19 years old. "

People in the area then started to speculate who that young man might be.

...

Meanwhile, Athan arrived at the back of the mountain.

He arrived in front of a 4 diameter boulder and gave it a punch with his right hand.

*Booom...

The boulder blasted into pieces but Athan had a frown on his face as he muttered, " Damn, I won't be able to check my strength this way, the boulders here are too weak, I didn't even use half of my power just now. "

After thinking for a few seconds he suddenly got an idea, " How about I try breaking it from afar? Since my strength increased so much then just shockwaves alone can blast a boulder. "

Athan then found another big boulder and stood 1 meter away from it.

" I should use my full strength this time, " Muttering Athan took a simple stance and threw a punch with all this strength.

*BOOOOOOOOM.....*

The boulder was more thoroughly crushed this time, turning into even more pieces than the previous boulder because of just the shockwave of his full strength punch of that powerful.

Athan then found another boulder and stood 5 meters away from it before throwing a punch with his full power.

*b---* ( no the boulder did not get blast so no BOOOOM )

This time the boulder was not blasted as the considerable amount of shockwave was dissipated before it reached the boulder but it still managed to throw the boulder in the distance.

" This is no use, I should go to the forest to fight the beasts, yep.." Thinking of this idea, Athan nodded as he once again started running at a fast speed towards the forest, this time he was in full control of his strength which also allowed him to increase his speed.

while running Athan thought, " Maybe after my body is refined once again by 1 or 2 more elements, I will be able to break the sound barrier, no wait, why would I run when I can fly later?

for now, I can't fly because my psychic energy is too low, even if I tried it would get drained after flying for a few minutes, and my speed of running is indeed faster then flying currently. "

Throwing out unnecessary thoughts, Athan focused on running.

After 10 minutes of full-speed running, Athan arrived in the forest.

Just as he entered, A Grade 1 Fire horned Bull appeared, But Athan ignored it and headed deeper inside the forest to find the stronger beasts.

' First, let's find a grade 4 beast, last time I came here, I could not beat a grade 2 Beast, but according to my body strength, I should be able to handle grade 4 beasts. '

Grade 4 beasts are as powerful as Elemental Masters and Stage 7 Elemental Warriors.

As Athan was heading deeper inside, he started to encounter Grade 2 and Grade 3 beasts, but he still ignored them as he headed deeper.

*Shaa...Shaa...Shaa*

Suddenly A Grade 3 Green Fang Python attacked ambushed Athan, It suddenly came out from the side and speedily wrapped around Athan's body.

Athan fell down with a thud as he muttered, " Damn, I should pay attention to my surroundings, "

While Athan was muttering, the grade 3 Green Fang Python did not waste any time as it instantly opened its mouth which had green-colored Fangs that were filled with poison and bit at the shoulder of Athan.

But The Python suddenly froze after he bit the shoulder of Athan,

Because it could not penetrate the skin of its target, if the python could speak, it would say, " NANI THE F**K IS GOING ON ? "

Seeing the result of Python's Attack, Athan grinned and then stretched his hands that were wrapped around along his body by Python, and after stretching his hands wide he forcefully tore the Python's body that was wrapped around his body into three pieces.

After killing the python, Athan continued to head deeper into the forest to find Grade 4 beasts.

And indeed after walking for 20 minutes more, He finally encountered a Grade 4 Beast.

It was Grade 4 Black Striped Ape, especially known for their strong Physical body and strength.

" Haha perfect. " Seeing the Ape, Athan instantly dashed towards the Ape and the Ape also noticed Athan and rushed towards him with red eyes.
