The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 328: Training-3, Trying something unorthodox.

After eight days, Athan opened his eyes as he now stood at stage nine of the Tier-1 order base.

Today also marked the end of the second month since he started training in this place.

He actually didn\'t take as much time as he expected to take when he comprehended levels eight and nine of the Lightning Dust of Yellow Hell.

After he broke through to stage nine by comprehending the final level of lightning dust, The power of meta-aerodite once again started working as it came out from his order base and entered the essence core of the lightning dust order ken.

Athan could feel the power of meta-aerodite rapidly filling up the essence core, and shortly after, It almost saturated. Almost because he didn\'t want to saturate it right away.

He looked at the remaining amount of meta-aerodite power inside his order base and estimated that he consumed a total of 18% of the total meta-aerodite power until now.

\' Hmm...It only took eighteen percent of it to get me at the peak of the Tier-1 order base and peak of the Red realm body strength. But according to what I know, The difference in power between the Tier-1 order base and the Tier-2 order base is larger than the difference between the Tier-2 order base and Tier-3 order base. So I will likely consume more meta-aerodite power to progress in the Tier-2 order base. \'

Athan thought about it for some time before he started to consolidate his order base, which got an influx of order force due to his rapid breakthroughs.

The flower inside his order base now had nine petals, which indicated that he had reached the ninth stage of the Tier-1 order base.

After consolidating his order base, He infused a bit of his order force inside the essence core to finally saturate it.

Right when it happened, The essence core started shining and trembled as cracks started to appear on it.

After a few seconds, It broke apart into brilliant, glittering yellow light with a light brown hue and started to gather in an eccentric pattern.

The glittering yellow light with a light brown hue gathered and formed a symbol that gave off order force and chaos force.

Seeing the symbol, Athan thought, \' Normally, this symbol should enter inside the maelstrom of chaos before granting an essence chaos trait but since I don\'t have it. I will have to enter the symbol inside a similar thing...which is the chaos grinder. But I will not do that. \'

He was not going to feed this symbol to his chaos grinder. Although, If he did that, The symbol would be compressed, break down, and purified by the chaos grinder before disappearing. But he would also get an essence chaos trait after that.

The chaos trait is always related to the chaotic power from which it emerged.

Once he gets the chaos trait of this lightning dust, He can transform his chaos force or chaos essence into the power of lightning dust with just his thought even though there is no more essence core of lightning dust inside his body.

Just like how Reikent showed Athan his essence chaos trait when he arrived in the Chaosverse.

Previously, He couldn\'t transform his chaos force into lighting dust chaotic power and could only transform his chaos essence into lighting dust. When he uses the essence order technique, Sumireas Slash, He could give it the nature of lightning dust by infusing chaos essence.

But after getting the chaos trait, He will be able to transform his chaos force into the lightning dust too and use it to attack independently if he runs out of order force. After all, Everyone has a higher amount of reserve of chaos force than order force inside them.

Once Athan finishes his breakthrough to Tier-2 order base, His chaos grinder would upgrade much like how the maelstrom of chaos upgrades to everyone else.

Once the Chaos grinder upgrades, The chaos force it produces would also get stronger, and If Athan gets the chaos trait of lightning dust, He can transform this stronger chaos force into lightning dust and use it in various situations in battles.

Of course, this will still be weaker than order techniques, but at least, It can be effective in battle, unlike the chaos essence, which is useless in battle.

This is also the main difference between the Tier-1 order base and the Tier-2 order base.

The essence order techniques infused by the nature of chaotic power produce by chaos force will also display more power.

But...he was not planning to put this symbol of lightning dust inside his chaos grinder to get the chaos trait that way.

He is going to try something else.

By using his soul sense, He pushed the symbol towards the elemental matrix.

\' To make it a part of the matrix, I need a catalyst for it, and If I use that...It should work. \'

The elemental matrix was completely different right now because he had already removed those eight law energy crystals from its setup as they were useless.

He brought the symbol towards the matrix, and after that, He took out some of the milky white aurae from the white orb.

After taking out the milk-white aura, He focused and started to transform it into a catalyst that can house this symbol of lightning dust.

\'? It\'s the power of lightning dust in the end, and since I have already grasped the order ken of this chaotic power, I can just make a crystal of lightning dust using milky white aura...hmmm. \'

After thinking about it and focusing on the creation, He transformed the milky white aura into a glittering yellow crystal that gave off a light brown and yellow hue. It also had countless very small light brown particles.

He attached this crystal to the string set up of the matrix and then pushed the symbol inside the crystal.

He still didn\'t know if the symbol will house itself inside this crystal, but there was only one way to check it.

He pushed the symbol inside the crystal, and when the symbol touched the crystal, both of them actually shined as the symbol readily went inside the crystal and disappeared.

At the same time, Athan blanked out slightly for a millisecond as his white orb also shined for a brief moment.

After this millisecond, Athan felt completely different than previously. He could feel a new power in his control, which he could use just thinking of it.

But suddenly, He felt an unknown external pressure pushing down on his whole existence along with his body and soul.

This pressure felt similar to when he took the chaos oath after joining the Hidden Dragon troupe.
