The Tale of the Void Emperor-Novel

Chapter 507: Coddys's deal-1

Several days passed as Athan, Tiana, and Avelia spent their times together being lovey-dovey inside the high-grade chaos phenom dimension.

Naturally, they also trained and hunted the chaos beasts to progress the power of their innate physiques.

Athan had many Kuriazak fruits, but he was not in a hurry after finding out that Shiromi, Sen, Tealery, Arcued, and Theo went to Purgatory hill. After all, they still need two years to come out, so even if he went and broke through before achieving 100,000 SBT, he wouldn't be able to register his hill faction and start the trials due to lack of members.

...

Inside Great Bridgade Palace's Zen Master regional zone.

"Coddys, are you sure you want to return to Chaos Monolith Hill? Why don't you acquire an innate physique by training?"

At this time, Coddys and his friends were sitting in the hall of Coddys' abode that was the size of a small mansion.

Hearing his friend, Coddys waved his hand and spoke plainly, "It's fine. I want to get an innate physique from the chaos enlightenment tree simply because the physique I will get through it already has the potential comparable to the physique gained in upper-Chaosverse.

"But if I try to acquire the innate physique through training here, I will have to find a way to upgrade its potential after going to upper-Chaosverse."

"That's logical, but you know what happened recently..."Jamz spoke as he revealed hesitation and worry.

Coddys steeled his face and said, "It doesn't matter. I know nothing about that matter, and you all shouldn't bring it up ever again. I am simply going there for the deal I made with Athan."

Pausing there, he sighed and rubbed his temple, "I just hope he didn't increase his price."

Franel weakly smiled while shaking his head and said, "But who would have thought that he would become this famous in just a year? His feats are really monstrous."

A person in the hall snorted; she was a beautiful lady clad in the white dress, "Humph, I heard that he was standing under chaos enlightenment tree the whole time? You should know that the tree has an empowering effect such that it can boost our comprehension ability. With such advantage, I can also progress fast."

"Yes, of course. You are right, sister Ker," Coddys spoke with a fawning smile.

Ker Lushblade. She is the current 9th rank in the Supreme genius leaderboard and was the sole Zen order grandmaster present in this hall.

The top ten on the Supreme genius leaderboard are all Zen order Grandmasters. The age requirement to maintain a place in the Supreme genius leaderboard is nine hundred ninety-nine years. Once a person's age becomes one thousand years, that person's name will be removed from the leaderboard, and that person will lose the entitled benefits as well.

Some Zen order grandmasters stayed in 11th or later ranks but not for long as they would soon surpass the age limit. So from 11th rank and later, almost all of them were Zen order masters.

"Coddys, I will come along with you and see how talented that Athan is," After saying that, She stood up and left the hall.

Seeing her like that, everyone in the hall smiled helplessly.

Coddys shook her head and said, "Well, can't blame her for that since she was lauded as the best genius in the path of Runic Artist until the news about Athan spread."

"Then what about Ultiora from Boundless Pavilion? He and sister Ker were both lauded as the best geniuses under thousand years in the path of Runic Artist since both of them tied in the battle of Runic Arts."

"Yeah, He is even more arrogant than Ker, so he will surely go to Athan."

"Anyway, when are you planning to leave, Coddys?"

Coddys thought for a moment and said, "I'll leave after ten days."

...

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye as Coddys and Ker left the Great Bridgade Palace and arrived at Chaos Monolith Hills.

But Ker had a dissatisfied expression with a frown on her face as she and Coddys stood outside of the barrier field around Efyeed.

At this time, Coddys returned from the deep part of the Chaos Monolith Hills and stood beside Ker with a helpless smile, "Sister Ker, He seems to be inside a high-grade chaos phenom dimension and will come out after eight days."

Ker snorted before saying, "Then let's go and meet some of my friends here to see how much they improved."

"Alright. There's no use standing here waiting anywhere," Coddys said with a nod as both he and Ker flew deeper into the Chaos Monolith Hills.

...

But at this time, nobody sensed a small mystical portal in the sky as a handsome man with light purple hair and two demonic horns on his head came out from the portal.

"Father-in-law, rest assured that I will definitely convince her, hehehe." The man chuckled with a gleam in his eyes as he took out a palm-sized crystal covered in a dark blue aura.

Muttering that, He flew in the direction of Chaos Monolith Hills.

After a few days of traveling, he arrived at the Chaos Monolith Hills and met with Hill Master Keldris.

At this time, Hill Master Keldris and Rofelto were talking with each other while laughing.

" How are your father and mother doing, Rofelto? They helped me a lot in upper-Chaosverse." Hill Master Keldris spoke with a hearty laugh.

Rofelto respectfully smiled as he said, "They are doing great. Anyway, let's get to the main topic now. I am here for Linci as her father has sent me here."

"Linci?" Hill Master Keldris was surprised, "But I heard that their family...practically threw her here because they couldn't deal with her unstable powers?"

Rofelto grinned and nodded, "That's true. But...hehe, my father had a fortuitous encounter when he and some of his other friends went to explore a cataclysmal chaos land. He found a strange object that had a similar aura to the one he felt from Linci's unstable powers and decided to use it to help Crow Clan."

"Oh?" Hill Master Keldris was startled and soon understood the gist of their plan, 'So they want some influence by using Crow clan? Hmmm...could it be that he asked for Linci's hand in marriage?'

"My father has tested the effect of that object on Linci's mother and there was indeed an effect as a bit of power inside her was absorbed by the object," Rofelto smiled widely.

"So? Your father must have set some conditions in exchange for helping Linci control her powers and cure her mother, right?" Hill Master Keldris asked with a small grin.

[A/N: wait for the twist. That's all I will say. ]
