The Tale of the Void Emperor
chapter-36

The person looked around 30 years old and had a dashing appearance, his eyes were oozing arrogance and pride but he spoke with a calm and polite tone, " These two little brothers, This area around the mountain will be off-limits from now on until we are done with our business here, I hope you can call your elder and leave as we The Thousand Deity Hall have some important matters to attend here, You can come back after a month as we would have finished our business by then. "

Athan was surprised to see people from Thousand Deity Hall here...because they currently ranked No.1 in the Top 10 faction list.

He then looked at the man and shook his head as he spoke, " You can do whatever you want, just don't disturb us here & and I will also not disturb you, otherwise...."

" Otherwise what? what can you do?....." The man's demeanor changed as he cut off Athan's speech, his face had a sneer, and his mouth curved upward as he said, " You ignorant little guy, did you not hear what I said? we The Thousand Deity Hall is occupying this area for a month and you only have 2 options either scram or die. "

Athan mumbled, " Scram? "

He then looked at the man and smiled brightly as he said, " Alright If you don't scram in 10 breaths...."

Before Athan could finish his words which he wanted to say like those characters in the novel speak, The other party suddenly started forming Earth Spikes and released them toward's Athan and Mike's camp.

Athan snapped his finger ( to look cool ) and a Dark Barrier appeared which covered Athan's and Mike's camp and easily nullified those Earth Spike released by the man.

" Why are you in such a hurry to die? " Shacking his head, Athan dashed towards the man and grabbed him by the neck before flying towards the beast in the sky.

The man who was grabbed by the neck was scared sh!tless and before he could say anything, he saw him flying towards the beast which made him delighted.

It didn't take long for Athan to arrive on top of the beast, There were 15 or so people on the beast, Most of them were around the age of 30 except a young man while 2 people looked particularly old and powerful.

They directly noticed when Athan came up and their faces turned dark seeing the man who was grabbed by him.

The man who was grabbed by Athan hurriedly spoke, " Please save me, Elders. "

One of the elders who had white hair, a white beard, and a thin body spoke in a commanding tone, " Put him down right now! Then We can talk things out, Don't make any rash moves that you might regret later on."

Athan smiled and put him down before saying, " Alright, How are you going to talk things out? "

The two elders were stunned seeing Athan obediently putting the man down, but they recovered very fast as another elder who was bald and had a bulky body said in a casual manner, " Alright, you can go now. we are sparing you since you released him without a ruckus, But don't wander around the mountain for a month or we'll kill you. "

Athan nodded his head while smiling and said, " Nice, then go ahead and try to kill me. "

The bald elder was furious seeing a young boy disregarding him, " Since you could capture him then that means you are more powerful than him despite being this young, But...It's not like we have not seen such a young Elemental Archmage...."

" Hey old man, stop wasting your breath and just kill him, My Master wants this area to be sealed by today as he will be coming with the experts of our sect tomorrow. "

The elder's speech was cut off by a young man who was around the same age as Athan, He stood not too far from the two elders and had haughty air around him.

Hearing the words, The elder's face changed as he hurriedly clasped his hands towards the young man and said with a respectful tone, " Sure young master, I will clear this pest right away. "

After saying that, he turned towards Athan and waved his hands as he threw a lightning whip towards Athan's neck with the intention to kill.

Athan didn't move and let the lightning whip wrap around his neck as he spoke while nodding, " Nice casting speed and control, Elemental Overlords are indeed powerful. "

Currently, The elder who released the Lightning whip had a shocked expression on his face.

First, his whip's lightning power should have already damage Athan's neck but it didn't happen, And when he tried to pull the whip, he found that...His strength was sorely lacking.

With a grin on his face, Athan grabbed the Lightning Whip and pulled it which also pulled the old man.

but the old man dissolved his whip halfway as he backed off towards the 2nd elder, His face turning serious.

Athan summoned a <Lightning Spear> and grabbed it before speaking with a grin on his face, " I'm giving you 2 minutes to set up your defenses. If you can take this attack and survive...then I can give you one more chance to talk things out. "

He wanted to talk things out because he just heard something very interesting, ' Why would a supreme elder of No.1 Faction behave so respectfully in front of a young man who was...from a different sect? The only possibility is that The sect in question is a much more powerful entity. '

When he was traveling here with Valley Master, he had asked general outline of this world and details about top factions and other things, but he had not heard of such powerful constitute where a young man from there could order around a supreme elder of No.1 faction and make him behave respectful towards him.

Seeing that 2 minutes had passed, Both elders had put up many types of defensive spells around them.

These spells mainly consist of Earth, Light, and Fire Attribute, They had put up Solid Earth walls, Light barriers, and Fire shields in front of them.

These two elders could feel that the energy contained in the spear was more potent as their instincts started to scream at them about the danger so they didn't hold back when setting up their defenses in two minutes.

" Since you are ready, Then....good luck. " Saying this, Athan tightened his muscles as he pulled back the spear before throwing it towards the elders with his full power.

*Booom....*

The <Lightning Spear> tore through the sound barrier in fractions of a second as it hit the line of defenses created by two elders.

The spear tore through Earth Walls like a knife cutting through butter and Light Barriers also didn't stand a chance but the spear's lightning energy was constantly consumed after tearing through so many defensive spells and when it hit the fourth Fire shield the <Lightning Spear> finally dissipated.

Seeing the result, Both elders wiped the sweat off their faces while feeling a raging storm in their hearts.

' Just how powerful is this young man? '

Of course, Athan had used 5 drops of lightning energy in the spear. If he had added more energy then he could break their defenses but that would defeat his purpose.

With 5 drops, Athan can create a perfect sized <Lightning Spear> as there's also a limitation on how much the energy can be compressed inside the perfect sized pear. If he adds more energy then he has to either increase the thickness of the spear which then will not fit in his grip or increase the length of the spear which can break the balance and make it hard to aim if he wants to throw the spear faster and to a long distance.

Of course, there is another way of throwing the spear, and that is to use his Psychic Energy to throw the spear, but the force of Psychic Energy is weaker than his current Physical Strength.

Athan looked at both elders as he smiled and asked, " Shall we talk things out now? "

The two elders nodded hurridly in fear as the elder with white hair spoke, " We can talk and you can also stay around the mountain to train, But..." He hesitated as he looked at the young man who came from another sect.

The young man had red-colored hair and his height was around 5.8, Seeing the look given to him by the elder, he thought for a moment before looking at Athan with no fear and said with neither arrogant nor polite tone, " Since you possess such powers at a young age, you must be from another star sector, then allow me to introduce my self, My name is Yashil and I am from Griza Star Sector, My master who is also sect master of Lotus Ridge Sect will be coming tomorrow to inspect this mountain, If you wish to stay then it's your choice but..."

Pausing for a second, The Young man smiled and said, " But my master has a bad temper and if he sees someone who is an outsider then he will make a move himself, If you are confident of defeating a Pinnacle Elemental Dominator then you can stay here. "
