The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 245: Once again between Life and Death

The extremely powerful wind currents lacerated Athan, and in just a second, He was covered in blood from head to toe.

He closed his eyes lest they would get hurt and cursed, " What the hell is this place? "

Athan was still floating, but these profoundly powerful strong wind currents were lacerating him.

" Athan! You have one minute! If you can\'t comprehend the laws of Air in one minute, then You will die. The winds will get stronger as you descend, so...Goodbye and good luck. "

Right after Elenex finished speaking, Athan started to descend amidst the strong wind currents.

At first, Athan was confused when he heard that he only had one minute since the current wounds on him were swallow, But when he heard that the winds would get stronger as he descends, he understood.

First, He would descend, and Second, The winds will get stronger. Both of these things would screw him over and kill him if he fails.

" Urgh...." Athan slightly groaned because these profound wind currents became even stronger after ten seconds and reached his bones as they started to lacerate his bones.

\' FOCUS! FOCUS! I have to do this. \' Athan ignored the pain which he was used to and tried to sense the power contained in these winds and what drove them to become this powerful.

Elenex watched as Athan descended with a fast speed and muttered, " Show me a miracle boy. I want you to comprehend the laws in these winds. Athan...The bonds of the universes do not seem to shackle you even though you have yet to break through to the Lord-level plane, so you do it. Grasp them, Master them and save your life. "

...

Forty seconds passed, and Athan was in deep focus, trying to comprehend the laws in these wind currents.

But...he was starting feeling extreme danger to his life. Currently, Athan was barely hanging, and most pieces of his bones and flesh were missing.? Even if his soul was mutated, it couldn\'t survive in this dense sky filled with fierce winds. He had that power of nothingness, but he couldn\'t harness it, and the aura from the black orb was not the pure power of nothingness. Athan knew that it appeared after he fed the primal energy to the black and white orbs. That aura was the primal energy in the basic sense that gained the attribute of nothingness from the black orb. That\'s why it could only erase a bit of senior Rishen\'s shield even though Athan didn\'t hold back.

Fifty seconds passed...

\' Wind...Air...Eido...\'

Athan\'s current state was horrible. He didn\'t even resemble a human and was just a piece of rectangle meat barely holding together while descending.

Elenex frowned because he couldn\'t sense what was going on inside Athan, and only five seconds were left before Athan\'s soul will come into contact with these winds and...be destroyed.

If there was another person, He could easily sense what they have comprehended, their power, how much they progressed in their specialized laws, etc. But he couldn\'t peek inside Athan.

Inside the void region, transparent streaks of wind aura started to flow out of nowhere. Athan had successfully grasped the Air ( wind ) laws.

Athan hurriedly controlled the profound wind currents around him, which can only be controlled by those who have comprehended Air laws and stopped himself from descending further.

But when he sensed with his soul sense that all his body was not just unrecognizable meat, He...screamed internally.

A dark Athan with a white border around him appeared and watched his body. The wind currents couldn\'t do anything to him anymore because he successfully comprehends the wind laws by constantly understanding them with his soul sense during the fall.

Athan looked at his body and sighed, " Sigh, How true it is that...hovering between life and death can make wonders happen. "

" Indeed, But not everyone has that resolve and ability. You have that knack inside you and have gone through a similar situation before, and that\'s why you don\'t feel scared about life-threatening situations, but instead...you get excited. "

Elenex arrived and looked at Athan\'s soul with extreme curiosity in his eyes.

" So this is your soul? How wonderful. You told me that your soul was mutated, but I didn\'t expect your soul to be like this. Hahaha. "

" We can talk later, but first, Can you heal my body? It\'s in such a mess, and I don\'t even have any healing power. "

Elenex grinned and waved his right hand, which produced a dense amount of pure life energy that was filled with life laws.

Athan returned inside his body and started to suck in the life energy to heal his body.

Inside his void region, He let the black and white orb suck the life energy, but the black orb didn\'t absorb any life energy. Athan decided to check on it later and first fed the white orb the life energy, which sped up the process of his body recovering.

After two minutes, His body returned to its perfect form and same appearance; Light grey hair, mystical black & white eyes, and pure white skin with ideal body shape and muscle linings.

Opening his eyes, Athan took a deep breath before speaking, " Huu...Now this feels good. "

He then waved his hands and controlled the wind energy around him to cover himself.

Afterward, He looked at Elenex before asking, " I have comprehended the laws of Air and wind here but...I still can\'t store any energy inside him, so how am I supposed to use them? I can use them here since this place is fully filled with th..."

Suddenly, Athan stopped speaking as he sensed something incredible.

Seeing Athan\'s reaction, Elenex laughed, " Hahaha, looks like you finally noticed. "

Athan blankly nodded as if he felt something incredible. He felt a connection with something that...doesn\'t require him to store primal energy inside his body.

While Athan was still in a daze as he sensed that profound connection, Elenex waved his hands and took another to another place.

This place was very mysterious and didn\'t seem like it contained any laws.
