The Tale of the Void Emperor

After Athan entered the palace, he saw a human-sized fairy with golden-blue hair and the same colored fancy fairy dress.

"Congratulations on getting the first rank," the fairy said with a sweet smile before she waved her hand, and a treasure chest appeared in front of Athan.

"This treasure chest contains Millenium Brilliance Soul Fruit, Fibion Vitality Blood Orb, Termos Titan Profoudity tablet, and a weapon spirit embryo," the fairy said with a smile as he opened the chest that contained those three items.

Athan looked at the four items and nodded as he took them inside his void region before asking, "what is Termos Titan Profoundity tablet?"

"It\'s a profound principle that you can use to create a technique or modify your already existing technique to have this principle in it if it\'s viable and if you have the ability to do so," the fairy said with a smile.

"Now, the final reward, which is option-based," the fairy said with a smile as three chests appeared in front of Athan.

"The first chest contains an Alturious Resonance Stone, which will give you a chance to resonate with a random tier-1 Outrious power according to your affinity."

"The second chest contains Eon Astral Soul Fruit, which will give you tons of soul essence and a soul talent that will allow you to make a perfect soul clone that can house another body."

"The third chest contains an Outrious Profound Tablet, which will allow you to comprehend powerful profound techniques and help you awaken and upgrade your profound talents."

"All three items are one-time use, and their values are similar, but in your eyes, they have different values, so choose the one that benefits you the most," the fairy said with a smile.

"Eon Astral Soul Fruit," Athan said without hesitation.

"Alright," the fairy nodded as she gave the 2nd chest to Athan.

"By the way, can you tell me what tier of power this is?" Athan said as he displayed a grey orb in which black and white streams were flowing behind each other.

He showed the purest form of Abyssal Void of Fabrication to the fairy.

Seeing the orb, the fairy narrowed her eyes and tried to sense its power, but after five seconds, a shocked look appeared on her face, \'this...this feels a bit same as Master\'s powers. But...how? I have to ask Master about this.\'

"Ahem, this is definitely above tier-1 Outrious power," the fairy said with a wry smile, "I have never seen this power in someone else\'s hands aside from...anyway, off you go now. It\'s for time 2nd ranker to receive his rewards."

Athan raised his eyebrows, but he didn\'t bother with these things anymore to waste his time. This power is his, and his aim is to become the strongest to find that Staercia bitch.

After leaving the palace, he returned to Nina and put Primo and others in his void region.

"Have a good journey, Athan," Nina said with a smile as she opened an exit portal for Athan.

Athan nodded and smiled at Nina before he left through the portal and arrived outside of the grand mountain-type Labyrinth.

Afterward, Athan contacted Vinery using a comm crystal that she gave him and called her, "I am out of the Labyrinth."

Vinery--, "Coming."

After a minute, she arrived beside Athan with her chariot.

Athan entered the chariot and sat down crossed-legged, "notify me after we enter the Yoloshi city."

"As you wish," Vinery respectfully said as she nodded her head and started flying.

On the other hand, Athan closed his eyes and first consumed the Millenium Brilliance Soul Fruit by letting his soul body eat the fruit in his void region.

Right after he ate it, a burst of potent soul essence was produced, and Athan hungrily started to absorb it.

Because of the void field around Athan, the powerful soul aura from eating the fruit didn\'t spread outside.

Athan couldn\'t control himself as he started comprehending the Abyssal Void of Fabrication using the resonance connection with his origin AVOF realm.

Vinery sensed something and saw that Black and white energies surrounded Athan, and soon after a few seconds, he turned into a grey cocoon with black and white patterns and energy streaming around it.

Since Athan could do multi-tasking, he took a small part of his consciousness and also used Fibion Vitality Blood Orb and started absorbing it to refine his body and make it stronger inside the cocoon while using the majority of his consciousness to comprehend Abyssal Void of Fabrication.

...

On the other hand, after the fairy inside the Labyrinth gave the top five people rewards and also distributed small rewards and random chests based on contributions to everyone, she closed the Labyrinth.

The giant thousand-kilometer big mountain simply vanished.

However, the fairy inside that mountain contacted her master while staying inside the palace.

Inside the palace, the fairy looked at a mystical mirror.

After a second, a handsome man wearing a dark-silver outfit with red patterns appeared in the mirror as he sat on a magnificent throne. The man\'s outfit was a slick, fancy robe and he also had a crown on his head with seven colored gems.

"Master Adlein," the fairy bowed.

"Dispense the formalities," the man boringly waved his hand and spoke, "what\'s the matter?"

"Umm, Master, I saw a strange person today, his outrious power was above tier-1 and it felt similar to Master\'s power in terms of its profoundness."

Hearing that, the handsome man was startled before he laughed out loud, "little fairy, you need not worry about such matters. he is none other than my long-distance brother."

"Hmm? I thought Master was the sole strongest bring of Outrious Expanse," the fairy spoke with a shock on her face, "After all, Master possesses the strongest outrious power, Divine Evreux of Worldly Labyrinth."

"Cough, cough...," Adlein suddenly coughed hearing that as he wryly smiled, "anyway, you don\'t need to worry about him. Just focus on your work."

"As you wish, Master," the fairy nodded respectfully while still bearing some confusion in her mind.
