The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 537: Deal in Seal, Tree in Trouble.

Lady Fu conjured her strongest defense around her as a barrier with an eccentric star-like pattern that was glowing in gold and silver color materialized.

"This is not my strongest defense but my strongest defensive technique." Lady Fu said with curiosity in her voice.

"Alright," Athan nodded with a smile as he pointed his finger towards the barrier.

At this time, Lady Fu saw black flame-like energy released from Athan's finger that looked very plain.

It was very silent, without any presence, and she didn't even feel any threat from it. But her intuition was telling her that it was anything but what it looked like.

As that strange, unassuming black-flame orb hit her barrier, her face instantly changed as she disappeared and teleported a few meters back.

She also healed the hole in her barrier by providing more energy to it, 'What the hell is that power?'

Athan put the abyssal darkness away and said with a smile, "So, how was that?"

"What is that dangerous power? How can you wield it when you are just at the peak of Orderic Catastrophe?" Lady Fu spoke with disbelief as she arrived at the table and sat down.

Athan was becoming increasingly mysterious in her eyes, 'Who is he? A reincarnated mighty being? But if that was the case, he should have reincarnated in upper-Chaosverse.'

"That's not the question, Lady Fu," Athan smiled as he continued, "Now you should have a rough idea on what I mean by you protect us, and in turn, we protect you. For more information, you can ask Dean Lenix right now and tell him that I told you to call him."

After saying that, Athan stood up and left.

...

Lady Fu fell looked at Athan's back until he disappeared from her sight.

After a while, she called Dean Lenix using a contact card.

Dean Lenix--"What's the matter, Lady Fu?"

Lady Fu--"Athan told me to contact you for more information. He told me the solution to my problem that...I protect them, and in turn, they will protect me."

Dean Lenix--"Hahaha, so he showed you his power? But he likely didn't show the full extent of his origin. Anyway, since he told you to call me for more information, then I'll you about some of his feats that only a few people know. Remember, his powers are unfathomable even for me."

Dean Lenix spoke as he still remembers the sight that Primo showed him, 'On top of his own mysterious powers, that unfathomable being acts as a pet to Athan...huuu, scary.'

Lady Fu then heard some of the shocking facts from Dean Lenix, which took her a lot of time to digest.

Even after she finished talking with Dean Lenix, she stayed silent for a long while before a ray of hope finally appeared in her eyes, 'Athan, I accept your deal.'

...

Twenty days passed as Athan and others were nearing the Vaiklaid continent zone.

Vaiklaid continent, Youhan Tree organization...

At this time, the giant Youhan Tree was covered in a hazy red barrier with green patterns on it.

The outside of the Youhan Tree was usually empty, but there were many small huts, abodes, and other such buildings present right now.

A lot of people were gathered and were talking about Youhan Tree Organization.

90% of the people here were those families whose talented sons and daughters that Athan killed in the test.

So, most of the major powers from the three continents were here.

As for why they were here? Well, you already know the answer.

They were here for revenge!

Actually, nobody wanted revenge at first because they were scared of Athan's potential and his future. The things he said with the darkness around him were still carved in their hearts.

But two months ago, A giant ship arrived with the flag of Chaos Eargia Dragon.

They were a major clan from the Midgard continent and arrived here for the Youhan Tree organization.

More specifically, they were attracted here because of Drizzly.

Drizzly had a bloodline of a dragon, and because it was upgraded a bit more than two months ago, the Urhs'in clan's patriarch in the Midgard continent sensed it and sent a force here to bring her to the clan.

Outside the Youhan Tree, there was a small black hut with exquisite brown, red, and black patterns on it with a flag of Chaos Eargia Dragon on it.

The hut was only three meters tall and four meters wide.

But inside the hut, the space was ten meters wide with wooden walls with no ceiling visible since it was a sight of clear sky.

It looked strange that there were mystical wooden walls but no ceiling.

"Elder Jeargen, now that you are here, can you destroy that barrier?"

Elder Jeargen was sitting at the table with a frown on his face. He was a powerhouse at the median stage of Evagon-realm.

There were other six people at the table aside from him, and they were all at the peak of the Zen Order Grandmaster realm. All people here had similar body features with brown dragon scales, dragons horns, and a thick brown dragon tail. But Elder Jeargen was a bit different as he had additional faint red patterns on his dragon scales.

When the six people from the Ursh'in clan arrived here, they threatened Youhan Tree to give them Drizzly, or they will destroy the whole organization, but Youhan Tree quickly used their last resort barrier.

The six powerhouses at the peak of Elite Zen Grandmaster couldn't destroy the barrier no matter what they did, so after two months of futile trying, they finally asked the reinforcement from the clan, and Elder Jaergen directly arrived here after finishing his other operation at Silver Fang area in Midgard continent.

At this time, the six people looked at each other with confusion and didn't know why Elder Jeargen wore a frown on his face. He has been like that since he arrived here.

"Umm, Elder Jeargen, is anything troubling you?"

Elder Jeargen snapped out of his thoughts as he looked at others and said with a creased brow, "I just don't feel good. Something has bad seems to have happened, but I don't know what."

He took out a contact card of his clan patriarch and called him.

A hologram of a man with similar body features as Jeargen appeared over the card but with a bit more red patterns on his scaly body.

"Big brother, I am not feeling well. Can you check if something happened to my family?" Jeargen said with a frown.

The clan patriarch revealed a confused expression and shook his head, "As far as I am aware, nothing has happened. Anyway, just finish your work there and come back fast."

Jeargen hesitated for a moment before he nodded, "Alright."

At the Urhs'in clan...

"Why did you lie to him, Patriarch?"

Patriarch shook his head as he told other elders in the hall, "We have to retrieve that girl first. If Jeargen finds out that his son died, he will rush back here," With a steeled expression, he continued, "I have sensed and drew her image with our clan artifact. Also, Jeargen will sense her because he also possesses a bit of the true bloodline of our ancestors like me."

"Patriarch, does that girl really possess a majority of true bloodline in her body?"

"Yes. She doesn't share the same origins as us, but the dominant bloodline of Chaos Eargia Dragon Ancestor in her is higher than us. After all, who knows how many races did the ancestor mated with in the past. She is likely one of the decedents, but her true bloodline was dormant until recently."

"I have seen her image, and all of her scales are glazed red with black patterns. That's terrific!"

Patriarch nodded with an evil glint in his eyes, "She is still weak, at Zen order elite. But with her awakened bloodline, she should be able to contend with even zen order grandmaster equally. From what I sensed in the artifact, 90% of her bloodline is of Chaos Eargia Dragon. Hehe..."

He swapped his glance in the hall and said, "I will give four of you a bit of her bloodline after extracting it. As for the remaining, It will belong to my family and Jeargen's family."

"Hahaha, we have no objection, patriarch. After all, you are the pillar of our clan and working hard in upper-Chaosverse."

"Sigh, it's unfortunate that Brangen is dead. Patriarch, I don't believe that we can't take revenge for him!"

"Yeah, once we finish this operation, let's take revenge, patriarch!"

...

Inside the hut, Jeargen was still feeling uneasy and decided to contact his son.

But after trying a few times, it didn't work.

'Why is Brangen not accepting the contact? Did something happen to him?'

He once again called his big brother, Zorgia.

...

At the Ursh'in clan, The clan patriarch Zorgia accepted the contact and said, "What's the matter, Jeargen?"

"Big brother, where is Brangen? Why is he not receiving my contact?"

Zorgia smiled and said, "Last I heard, he was going to enjoy at Heaven's Tranquility. I am sure he is enjoying and busy right now, that's why he didn't accept your call. Anyway, since you feel uneasy, hurry up and finish the matter there before coming here. You also know the importance of that girl."

Jeargen sighed and nodded, "Alright."

...

There were still eight days left before Athan and others arrived at the Youhan Tree organization.

But...Jeargen left the hut as he arrived in front of the giant barrier of Youhan Tree.
