The Tale of the Void Emperor-Chapter 709: Depart

"NOOOOOOOOO!"

"FIND THEM!"

"Fifth, your attack was fastest and cleared the red-purple mist. Did you sense their presence? where did they go?"

"I...I can't sense their presence. Even though I blew away that mist with my attack, I didn't sense their presence in that. They disappeared into thin air with no trace."

"Previously, we thought that they mass teleported somewhere using an Artifact, but that doesn't seem to be the case, DAMNN!!"

"Do you think...what that woman said was true? Did our grand uncle really die?"

"I don't think...No..since they disappeared and appeared suddenly like that, they must have entered in this place with that same method as well."

"WE WILL NOT SPARE THEM!"

"Let's start searching for them; I am not returning without avenging my brother and sister-in-law."

"Stick together and observe all directions. They might appear suddenly again and deliver a fatal sneak attack."

...

"Want to go for one more round?" Mimi asked.

"No need," Lily said with a grin, "now they will stay tensed all the time and leave this place when they encounter an exit portal. We don't need to waste time on them anymore; let's start gathering resources."

"Yep," Huarin nodded with a smile as she agreed with Lily.

"Do you know how long Athan would take? He had turned into a strange cocoon," Lily asked as she looked at Dreevindo, "you've known Athan since he ascended to upper-Chaosverse."

"There was an incident where Athan turned into a cocoon as well," Dreevindo nodded with a serious expression, "that was also the time when all of his companions disappeared along with that island bubble. At th-"

"That beam! According to its size, it looks like a birth of a Catalyst!" Huarin said as she pointed at the cloudly screen.

"Let's go and take it first! We need catalysts to comprehend powerful abilities," Lily nodded as she controlled the Ark and moved in that direction.

...

"It's been five days," Lily said as she looked at the cocoon, "There's not a single change on the cocoon."

"Let's enter into deep meditation since we have gathered a lot of resources already. It's time to progress," Huarin said.

"Yep. Let's get stronger and give brother Athan a surprise when he returns to normal," Mimi said with a smile.

Dreevindo thought for a moment and spoke, "let's enter into a Lerento portal first and move to a different Lerento. If it's higher than 2nd, we will luck out."

"What do you mean?" Lily asked with doubt.

"Although this Ark space is really good and training here is fast, this is still not fastest," Dreevindo said with a smile, "since we also have gathered a lot of Etons, then we should use them to increase our training speed at a Blessed Houses."

"They are very expensive, but the use of the Blessed House is very powerful and effective," Dreevindo said, "Blessed Houses are connected to multiple Blessed lands that are similar to this Ark space and more important, those House can condense and gather the Orchos energy to make it more effective for us. There are multiple formations at work as well which mellow out and buff the Orchos Energy so we can progress faster and our comprehension also gets a boost while we are inside."

"Woah, they sound really good," Lily said in a surprised expression, "although we have gathered a lot of common-tier, rare-tier, and some epic-tier Etons, I doubt we stay in those so-called blessed houses for even a year considering their benefits."

Dreevindo smiled, "but the progress we make in that short time will be solid and fast both. If you want to keep up with Athan, then you have to use those Blessed Houses. There are three grades Blessed Houses, Low-grade, Mid-grade, and High-grade.

"High-grade is like a paradise and hell both. But it's only for Epic and above powerhouses. As for us...hehe, we will enter into Mid-grade Blessed Houses," Dreevindo beamed as he finished speaking.

Lily suddenly grinned and spoke, "Then let's gather more resources and Etons before leaving so we can stay in the Blessed house for a longer time."

"Hmmm...we can do that as well," Dreevindo nodded, "This Dimensional Rift will be destroyed soon, so we better find another. We also snatched the Treasure Beast's treasure here, so there's not much to discover here anymore as well."

...

As such, they stayed and searched for the Exit portal before leaving after thirty minutes.

They exited at a different place in Star-Seer Firmament Chasm and started moving upward.

However, suddenly, they heard a loud voice towards them.

"THERE THEY ARE!!"

"They look the same as the poster except for that one woman."

"It doesn't matter! She must be their companion as well."

Lily and others were dumbfounded to see several people coming towards them and shouting.

"Could it be that grand uncle and his nephews?" Lily muttered.

"That's the only reason why we would attract such attention," Dreevindo nodded, "he must have created our arts and spread to them. Although this Star-Seer Firmament Chasm is big, the exit portal wouldn't teleport us to that far from the place we entered."

"Which means that they should be nearby as well," Mimi muttered before she suddenly looked in the sky.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!"

The middle-aged man, who almost killed Lily, shouted with anger. Destructive power pulsed around him as he dashed towards them and attacked.

Lily stuck out her tongue and disappeared along with others.

However, her voice reverberated in her place, "dumb old man, stop troubling us anymore, or I will really kill all of you in the future."

"Be glad that those six nephews are alive instead of wasting time on two dead ones. Otherwise..."

...

"Let's go and continue while staying inside Ark, humph," Lily snorted.

"That old man is really bad," Mimi said with an angry face, "he was stupid to block the entrance in the first place for a few people when there are already a hundred inside that Rift dimension. He also tried to kill sister Lily first! And then he expects people to not antagonize him for what he did? how dumb!"

"Well, his plan would have succeeded.. Also, we don't know which clan he is from and how high his backing his is," Dreevindo said with a wry smile, "however, this Ark of Exordium is the best treasure for sneaking in and out in entire Orchos Firmament, so he met an iron wall like us."
