The Tale of the Void Emperor
chapter-266

Athan and Reikent entered the Arena and walked towards the nearest booth for registering and betting.

" This Arena is only for Ascenders. If you want to register yourself, produce a spec of primal essence directly from the source dimension. " The man behind the booth told Athan and Reikent.

Athan nodded and produced a spec of primal essence in front of him.

Seeing this, The man behind nodded and looked down before picking up a small steel badge, " Name? "

" Athan "

" Alright. Here you go. Athan, Novice Ascender. If you want to bet, then you can only bet on yourself and not your opponent. "

Hearing this, Reikent grinned and took out a small cloth pouch, " Take this. I bet a thousand Low-grade chaos stones on Athan. "

The man behind the booth was a bit stunned and looked at Athan but didn't say anything and just took the small pouch which had enough space to fit in one thousand chaos stones before saying to Athan, " Go to the underground through that path and wait for your match. "

Reikent patted Athan's soldier and grinned, " I'll be waiting up here. Show me some a surprise cause I'm waiting for it. "

Athan wryly smiled and started walking towards the path that leads to the underground.

The whole stadium was like cone shape but with a flat pit so that people can see the fight clearly from above while the fighters battle on the middle ground below.

After arriving at the underground space, Athan started to prepare.

Inside his void region, All nine cores started shining before he channeled their powers towards the pyramid. Afterward, He started thinking about which four advanced law power he should mainly control. The pyramid is his best creation as it can let his body transform into multiple elements concurrently, and he gains higher control over them.

' Among the advanced Law powers, I have comprehended Metal, Ice, Blood, Lightning, Magma, Mud, Diamond, Epoxy, Wood, Sound, Plasma, Dust and shadow. So...' Athan started thinking and decided to build an all-rounder state among the Advanced Law powers.

Advanced law powers are also divided in a way. Some Advanced law powers need a combination of two Basic Elemental law powers, and some need three. Although Athan didn't comprehend all advanced law powers, he covered the necessary law powers to aid in his defense, control, offense, and movement.

While the nine cores were shining and coursing their power through the white strings towards the pyramid, One of the four sides of the pyramid turned into a diamond element, and the side right beside it turned into a bright green element with a brown hue in it.

' Diamond law power and wood law power for defense and control. As for the other two...' He thought for a moment and decided.

Inside his void region, The wind and water law cores shone intensely before one side of the pyramid turned to ice, but it didn't stop there, indicating lightning, but after that, The fire law core also shone and mixed into the lightning side as they combined to become plasma law power.

Plasma law power has one of the highest offensive and it needs a combination of lightning law power and fire law power.

The last side of the pyramid turned into a Shadow element, for he can do both things: movement and control the battle with this element.

' Done...'

Afterward, Athan waited for his match, which was after two matches. Meanwhile, The person who was behind the booth turned around and put up a barrier around him before taking out a token and activating it.

" What is it? "

The man could hear the voice from the token, and he hurridly spoke, " change the opponent of Athan from Hanshin to Bloody Fang. A fat ship betted on Athan with a thousand chaos-stone, so I don't want to let him win the double. "

Both Hanshin and Bloody Fang were Novice Ascenders, but Bloody Fang was an experienced fighter and more powerful. He was also almost reaching the Advanced Ascender stage.

After fifteen minutes, Athan's turn finally arrived.

Athan started walking through the passage leading to the ground, and he saw a middle-aged man coming out from the other side who grinned at Athan with his red teeth showing.

A person was floating on top of them who spoke in a loud voice, " Dear guests. On one side is a rookie and first-time participant who exudes a mysterious aura, while on the other side is everyone's favorite novice, Bloody Fang. Place your bets now. The odds are 1:2 for Athan and 1:0.5 for Bloody Fang.

The crowd started to shout and started placing bets as the staff began to note them down and collect the chaos stones.

" The battle starts in five seconds. "

" FIVE "

" FOUR "

" THREE "

" TWO "

" ONE "

Right at the moment, A second transparent barrier covered the fighting ground.

"...KILL THAT PRETTY BOY, BLOOD FANG. "

" KILL! KILL! KILL! "

...

Bloody Fang looked at Athan and grinned, " Hey kid, They want blood. "

Athan frowned and asked, " So...Killing is allowed here? And you want to kill me? "

" Killing is, of course, allowed. Hahahaha. Did you think this Arena is some playground? "

" Oh..." Athan nodded and smiled, " Then you can die now. "

As Athan finished speaking, A vine came out from the ground below Bloody Fang and sensing it, He instantly jumped up and put a shield in front of him.

' Experienced indeed. But...your shield won't protect you. '

When Bloody Fang jumped up, Athan already stretched his right hand forward that had already turned into plasma. The plasma looks like a slight dark purple energy gas with lightning spreading and mixed with fire. Both combined create a deadly element with terrifying burning power, blasting power, and penetrative power.

' Plasma Transformation, Spiral Beam. '

Spiral Beam was a technique that can be applied to any offensive energy element. He had already practiced this many times, and according to him, This technique was the best defense breaking technique.

Bloody Fang didn't even have a chance to get shocked because the shield in front of him was blasted before a hole formed in his chest.
