The Tale of the Void Emperor
chapter-398

Three months ago...

After Athan sent the pill into his void region, He started to study it using his soul sense. He understood and printed the structure and order patterns of the pill in his mind.

' Wonderful. This 4-star pill is completely different and more mystical than the three-star blood recovery pill. '

Athan was lost in the process of understanding the pill and didn't realize that a chaotic cloud started to form on top of him. Naturally, He didn't notice because the cloud didn't exude any kind of threat to him.

It took him twenty days to thoroughly understand the pill's order structures despite his enhanced comprehension order grasping ability.

As he finally opened his eyes, He instantly senses the cloud on top of him, ' What is this cloud? '

His interest was piqued as he carefully looked at the mysterious cloud. It appeared chaotic from the outside, but Athan sensed a mysterious power of order inside it.

The cloud appeared light black from outside, but it had dreamy golden sparks swirling inside it.

He saw the cloud rotating like a whirlpool before slowly shrinking. The cloud that spanned a two-meter radius shrank to five hundred centimeters. It turned into a swirling egg-like structure before slowly descending on him.

Athan felt a connection with it and also felt that this thing wanted to enter inside him.

' What could it be? I don't sense any threat from it. Instead, It feels like I have a very close connection with it...'

Athan deactivated his protection field of void on his body that doesn't let anything invade his body and let this strange thing enter inside it.

The swirling egg-like structure settled near the Duality Codex.

' Whatever it is, I'll look into it later. For now, Let's see if my plan works. '

Thinking of that, Athan ignored this strange thing and, first of all, produced a copy of this pill known as the Starmind Spirit pill.

After creating a Starmind Spirit pill with his voidpulse, He interrupted Arcued's training.

Arcued looked at Athan with weary eyes and a tiny hint of despair that lingered in his heart. But he had suppressed this emotion and decided to try his best until the end.

" W-what's the matter, Athan? "

" How much time will you need to finish strengthening your soul? "

" Sigh...With my current exhausted state, I will need one and a half months. But after that...Only twenty-something days will be left for me to make my breakthrough attempts at Orderic Catastrophe. "

Athan threw a pill at him and spoke with a faint smile, " Eat this pill and finish your soul strengthening training. It should remove your fatigue and speed up your training. "

Arcued caught the pill and instantly felt mysterious soul power and order force with the aura of calmness from it that relaxed his soul and rejuvenated his mind.

" This...this...this pill appears very expensive. I.."

" Just shut up and eat it. " Athan shook his head and thought, ' If Mike was here, He would just laugh and take the pill after saying [ Hehe, That's my good brother. ].'

Arcued looked gratefully at Athan before he ate the pill with determination and closed his eyes, ' I will not give up! '

Athan nodded seeing that, and then sat down crossed-legged, ' Now let's see...From my experience, The condition to trigger the breakthrough to Orderic Catastrophe is to have a perfect understanding of the current order and order force we possess.

A moment where you grasp absolute control over the power you possess will trigger the breakthrough. After all, One can only gain perfect control over any power after perfectly understanding it. '

' For this, People observe various kinds of order within wild chaotic powers and understand them. People who have higher comprehension and order grasping ability can understand and perfectly understand their current order power early. In contrast, others take time to reach that level of understanding. '

' Frankly speaking, Each people have different experience and level of understanding of their order and power. That's why it's hard to help them break through to Orderic Catastrophe. Ultimately, They have to rely on their own ability to trigger the breakthrough by reaching a perfect balanced point with their own order power and have perfect control over it. '

' Without reaching that point, They won't be able to control and wield the higher level of order force that is produced after entering the Orderic Catastrophe stage. It's like this Chaosverse requires them to have perfect control over this transparent and weak order force and perfect control over their own power. Otherwise, A breakthrough will not trigger. '

He speculated this because the current order force produces within his Orderic Codex is condensed and more potent in a mysterious way. It's like he can do much more with it other than simply using order techniques with it. Naturally, He still needs to find what else he can do with it.

' If I create an amalgamation of my understanding of order force using Nesency Voidpulse and inject it inside his soul, He might be able to reach his point of breakthrough rapidly. But I don't know how this will affect him and if he can even do it. '

Athan fell into thought, and after a few moments, He decided to first follow along with the plan, ' The final decision will lay on him. '

...

After twenty-five days, Arcued opens his eyes as his face formed an excited smile, " The effects of the pill are awesome. "

He looked at Athan spoke with a hopeful expression, " I am done. My soul reached the required rank. Now I can start attempting to breakthrough. "

Athan shook his head before his face turned severe. He stretched his right hand forward as a bright, dreamy orb with a flame-like white aura around it appeared on his palm.

" This orb can help you breakthrough to orderic catastrophe. But there are certain risks involved. This is the first time I am trying this out, as I have never created something like this orb before. "

Pausing for a bit, Athan looked at Arcued with utmost seriousness, " The plan is to inject this orb into your soul. As for the result, That depends on you and your willpower. "

Arcued was already sweating seeing Athan's expression and was stunned when he heard the last part, " Inject this inside my soul? "
