CHAPTER 464: VOIDFEATHER RAVEN

In the Void.

Floating remains of destroyed realms drifted across a broken canvas of purple storms, pitch-black winds, and flickering lights that twisted reality itself.

One moment, Ethan felt weightless, and the next, he felt like he was being crushed from all directions.

’So, this is how a Void looks and feels.’

While floating in the dark space, Ethan’s eyes shone brightly and excitedly observed his surroundings.

When a cultivator reaches the Golden Core Realm, he gains the ability to fly. So, he flew around observing the things in the void to satisfy his curiosity.

From Ethan’s eyes, it wasn’t just empty space; it was madness.

However, in no time, cracks began forming on his body and pain shot through his nerves as if his soul itself was being unravelled.

’I knew Golden Core Cultivators can’t handle the pressure created by the chaotic energies in the Void... but with my Blood God’s Battle Robes and Invisible Skeleton Armour, I thought I could survive at least a little longer.’

Ethan was already expecting such a change in his body; however, he was not expecting it to happen this quickly.

He had lasted exactly one minute, which was far from his assumption of surviving 10 minutes in the void.

’Kacha’

His body cracked further, but he still smiled while enduring the pain.

His blood flowed out of the cracks, and his flesh continued to tear apart, but he looked toward Miso and muttered with genuine admiration.

"She’s really awesome... holding open a Void portal for a whole minute."

That’s right!

After Ethan entered the void, the Mystic Soil Spirit didn’t close the portal and was trying her best to keep it open for Ethan to return.

Opening a portal to the Void wasn’t something any ordinary being could do. It was a feat only Soul Transformation Realm experts or higher were capable of.

Even though the portal was still open in the distance, with Miso barely holding it together, Ethan didn’t rush back because; other than being curious about the void, he was curious about another thing.

"Miso, you are pleasantly surprising me with your abilities back to back." Ethan gave her a shaky thumbs-up through the pain.

"Master! Come back quickly!" Miso gritted her teeth. Her hands trembled violently as she screamed, "I can’t hold it much longer!"

"It’s alright, Miso... close it. I’ll return in 25 minutes."

"What!?"

Before she could even argue, her focus slipped, and the portal collapsed.

Although she believed... no, decided to believe Ethan’s words, Miso was worried about her new master.

’Boom!’

On the other end, Ethan’s body shattered a few seconds after the portal closed, and his consciousness, followed by his vision, went black.

Of course, only for a moment, as his consciousness was regained with a series of system notifications.

[The host has been killed by a Rank 1 Void Beast: Voidfeather Raven, and the [Godly Revival Ability] has been activated.]

[The host has received a Death Allowance of 2 million Life Points. (Multiplier Life Card’s effects are added)]

[The interface of the Killer’s Stats is being generated. Please wait...]

’What? I was not killed because of the pressure in the void but by a Void Beast?’

Looking at the system notifications, Ethan frowned because it was not what he was expecting.

Actually, the reason why Ethan wanted to enter the Void despite knowing the dangers was because he wanted to be killed by the Void.

Because he wanted to generate the stats of the Void in the [Interface].

Although the Void was not a being, Ethan believed it was an existence similar to the Heavens, and if he were killed by the Void, the system would generate some powerful void-related abilities.

But, to his shock, he was killed by a Void Beast, and he only realised it from the system notifications.

’As Miso said, these Void Beasts are very powerful.’

Seeing that the Void Beast that killed him was only a Rank 1, Ethan personally experienced how powerful and dangerous the void was.

’Let’s see the details of my killer to check whether I can gain some knowledge regarding the Void Beasts.’

With that thought in mind, Ethan quickly checked the Killer’s Profile while the interface generated the Killer’s Stats.

[Killer Name: None (Voidfeather Raven)]

[Strength: Peak Rank 1 (Equivalent to Mid-level Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator)]

[Lifespan: 3,000 / 100,000 years]

[Void Ultimate Skill: Void Death Eclipse]

[Void Skills: Void Breath, Mindpiercing Gaze, Silent Feather Strike.]

[Void Bloodline: Lesser Netherstorm Crow Bloodline]

[Information: The Voidfeather Raven is a stealthy avian predator born in the deepest folds of the Void, known for its ability to kill from vast distances without revealing its presence. It strikes with silent precision, leaving its victims dead before they even sense danger.]

’So, a Rank 1 Void Beast is equivalent to an early Nascent Soul Realm. Humans have to spend thousands of years, and even then, only an extremely few lucky and talented ones reach the Nascent Soul Realm.’

Ethan bitterly smiled after realising that the void beasts are born with the strength of a Nascent Soul Realm.

’As for its high lifespan, there is nothing surprising.’

Spirit Beasts always have a higher lifespan than humans, and since the Voidfeather Raven was a void beast with the strength of a Nascent Soul Realm, he was not surprised much about it.

’But, it has some good and powerful skills.’

Although Ethan could not see the detailed information about the skills, he could tell they were powerful just from the names of the skills.

’There is even a bloodline.’

Ethan silently absorbed the knowledge about the Voidfeather Raven and tried understanding the Void Beast.

’No wonder, even the Soul Transformation Realm Cultivators avoid travelling in the void unless they are desperate for something.’

After absorbing all the knowledge, Ethan came to this conclusion.

Even though the system mentioned that its strength was equivalent to a Mid-level Nascent Soul Realm, even a Perfected Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator could not stand a chance against it.

Moreover, with its skills and bloodline, inside the void, this Peak Rank 1 Void Beast could even launch a sneak attack on a Soul Transformation Realm Cultivator.

What’s more, it was just a Peak Rank 1 Void Beast, what about the Rank 2, Rank 3 and even higher ranked Void Beasts?

’Anyway, as long as I get those skills and bloodlines, I can slowly and steadily explore the Void and find the Void Secret Realms.’

Thinking about the Special Skills, Bloodlines and other things he could buy from the [Interface of the Killer’s Stats], Ethan could not help but become excited.

Of course, Ethan knew that it was not easy to find a Void Secret Realm in the Void, which was both infinite and ever-shifting.

The Void wasn’t just vast, but it was a realm of endless chaos, with space stretching, folding, and collapsing in unpredictable patterns.

’It’s like trying to find a grain of spirit sand in a sandstorm filled with extreme dangers, and what’s more, finding a Void Secret Realm was just the first step. After that, he had to get the acknowledgement of the Origin Being and the races inside it.’

While waiting for the Interface of the Killer’s Stats, Ethan thought about all those things.

[The Interface of the Killer’s Stats has been generated. Do you want to check it?]

’It’s finally here.’

Without hesitation, Ethan checked it with eyes full of excitement.
