The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 242: Black and White Orbs

Athan was currently sitting inside a small cave with his eyes closed while sucking in the primal energy.

The primal energy gushed towards him and entered inside his body.

After a minute, Athan opened his eyes with a sigh. He could gather primal energy inside his body, but it would leave shortly from his body.

With his creased eyebrows, Athan was thinking about his situation.

\' I can suck in the primal energy from the atmosphere, though...I can\'t store it.? It looks like I need a medium like Primal core to store the primal energy, but that\'s the problem. How do I make a primal core from nowhere inside my body? Wait...my body? \'

\' I should first know more about this body. I need to see the deepest part and its fundamentals. Only by knowing every single detail about my body can I begin the first step. \'

Athan closed his eyes and started to scan minor details of his body.

\' Hmmm...It looks just like a normal body. I have blood, bones, organs, etc., but...What are these things? \'

After Athan used his soul sense to see the fundamentals of his body, He found that his cells were different, and there were other things besides the cells that made up his body.

The other things besides his cells were black and white strings; these strings were microsized just like cells, \' they feel same as the power inside my soul. Interesting. Let\'s see if I can control them. \'

Athan thought about moving them, and these black and white strings indeed moved. Well, That was expected since this is his own body.

\' But what should I do after moving them? \'

He started to observe and sense their power closely to see how he could make use of them. He felt that they were the key to make his body stronger and even make himself stronger overall. As for storing primal energy inside his body, He had put it back in his mind after this discovery.

After thinking for a while, Athan decided to gather all of these black and white strings together. They were the fundamental structure of his body, but he still wanted to try this.

" Argh..." Athan felt weakness when he started to move them en masse.

After thirty minutes, He moved all black and white strings without leaving a single one before gathering them inside the void region by using his soul sense.

" Siiii....." Athan\'s appearance changed tremendously during this process, and he finally sucked in a heavy breath after putting all of the black and white strings inside the void region.

His skin sagged and appeared lifeless. He became so weak that He couldn\'t even stand up and move his limbs. His heartbeat was also getting slower.

\' I need to do something, or this body will drop dead. \' Athan used his soul sense and went through with his plan.

He controlled the black and white strings and started to condense them by squeezing them together. Of course, He didn\'t mix up the black and white strings.

He also used his soul energy to and that was when he received a surprise. When he used his soul energy, The process became very smooth. He finally condensed them into two orbs; one black and one white.

\' Crap...I\'m dying. At least my body is. \' Athan cured before he started thinking, \' Alright, since I moved their position and extracted these strings from my fundamental body structure, My body became weak and started to die. But...They are still part of my body and are connected with it. So....\'

Athan opened his eyes weakly but his spirit was brimming, \' I hope this works. \'

He then gathered primal energy towards him and directly fed them to the black and white orbs.

The primal energy was indeed getting absorbed by the black and white orbs he formed using his soul energy and the black and white strings.

At the same time, His body also started to recover. Athan felt energized, and all of his cells became lively again.

Athan stood up and felt his body recovering as the black and white orbs sucked in more primal energy.

" Although these black and white orbs are not storing the primal energy inside them but instead making my body stronger after absorbing the primal energy, It\'s still good enough. At least, I found a way to make my body stronger. Now it remains to see how far my body can get strong this way. "

Athan continued to absorb the primal energy, and after a while, He reached the point where his body recovered to its max state before he started to move the black and white strings.

He continued to let his black and white orbs absorb the primal energy and his body kept getting stronger.

Though, It didn\'t last for long since he started to feel pain through his body after his body got a bit stronger than before. Along with pain came injures, and Athan stopped absorbing the primal energy.

Athan observed his body carefully, and the thing he expected happened, " Looks like my body reached its limit. "

He stood up and came out of the cave before throwing a punch with his full power.

But at the exact moment when he threw a punch with his right hand, Athan was startled because he felt something coming out of his fist.

*Shuaaaaaaaaaa...BOOOOOOOM.*

When he punched out, his fist released a black aura that traveled some distance before disappearing.

" That...came from the black orb. " Athan muttered because he knew that the black aura released from the black hall, and it looked strikingly similar to the darkness of nothingness. Of course, It wasn\'t as strong as the darkness of nothingness in that space.

He closed his eyes for a minute before opening them with excitement inside them, " Finally...something I can use properly. "

Athan stretched his right hand forward before extracting the black orb\'s power as the black aura appeared over his hand.

He moved in front of a tree and punched forward. Of course, He didn\'t hit the tree with his fist but stopped before hitting it and let the black aura hit the tree instead.

Without any sound or presence, The black aura devoured the twelve meters tall tree and all of its branches before leaving a single half-branch.

This single half branch was left because the black aura ran out of its power after devouring everything else.

Right at this moment, Athan\'s face changed, and he turned around because he sensed someone\'s presence.
