Void Emperor

A Bloodline awakened by Zachary Atwood.

## About

* The Void Emperor never passed on his bloodline, either by design or because of unknown restrictions. The Sindris clan spent an unfathomable amount of time and effort trying to reintroduce the Void Emperor's ability among their descendants by any and all methods. They only managed to create cheap mimicries in the end. However, these efforts became a critical part of the Kayar-Elu efforts. The Sindris heritage became the bridge preventing rejection when we fused it with the real Void Emperor bloodline. **Ch 1,165**
* The Sindris Founder didn't return empty-handed from the Limitless Empire. He'd somehow stolen a drop of the Void Emperor's Eternal Essence Blood. It was this drop that was the origin of their synthetic bloodline experiments. **Ch 1,165**
* The Kayar-Elu eventually succeeded in taking the Essence Blood away, but getting the drop of blood wasn't enough. The Sindris Clan's repeated failures proved just how daunting the goal was. Reintroducing the Void Emperor's bloodline to the world had proven insurmountable; fusing it with their heritage was impossible. Despite millions of years of ceaseless effort, they eventually hit a wall. **Ch 1,165**

## Talents

### Force of the Void

31% **Chapter 1,160**

* Zac comments on [Chop] containing a mysterious ancient aura since awakening his bloodline, and [Nature's Punishment] containing a hint of antiquity to it. Both skills were activated nigh instantaneously without any Cosmic Energy Infusion, although he felt a strange sense of hollowness after activating the latter. **Chapter 641**
* That [hollow] feeling was also a clear indication that this effect was limited. Zac guessed that this hidden energy source had a certain amount of energy reserves, and he would go back to normal Cosmic Energy consumption after that reserve was exhausted. He wasn't exactly sure how to refill that source. **Chapter 642**
* Zac guessed that he could draw an amount equivalent to 18% of his normal Cosmic Energy stores, based on the number in the bloodline panel. That would track with his experiences as well. [Chop] barely cost any cosmic energy at all, but [Nature's Punishment] cost him around 8 to 9% of his Cosmic Energy by this point. **Chapter 642**
* There was a problem with his bloodline, or rather his control over it. Turning it on or off wasn’t very hard, but there was a small delay when rapidly swapping back and forth. He had tried discarding the normally conjured blade and instantaneously summon a new one, but his commands had been too quick, which resulted in nothing happening. **Chapter 645**
* he wasn’t able to activate [Hatchetman’s Spirit] with the skill, even after trying multiple times. His [Force of the Void] was somehow connected to his body, and it couldn’t conjure things too far away from where he stood. Fifty meters seemed to be the limit at the moment, which was neither far nor short. It would still allow for ambushes in a one-on-one battle, but it wouldn’t work with a maxed-out [Rapturous Divide] or large-scale skills like **[Profane Seal]**. **Chapter 645**
* He needed free space even within those fifty meters to use Void Energy. For example, Zac tried conjuring a fractal edge that would pierce the head of a cultist. That was an ambush tactic that worked fine when activating **[Chop]** the normal way, but the skill wouldn’t activate with Void Energy when it would occupy the same space as the lizardman’s body. Zac's best guess was that the skills were conjured in an instant or conjured in the void and then teleported over. In either case, it wouldn't work when the skills would occupy the space of something else. Only after slightly moving his axe could Zac have the blade appear right next to the cultist's head, allowing Zac to quickly lob it off. **Chapter 645**
* It actually was possible to start a skill the normal way and boost the speed by activating his bloodline. For example, he could conjure half a fractal blade, only to have the second half appear in an instant. It didn’t save much time, but it might be possible to catch someone off-guard using that trick. **Chapter 645**
* His Void Energy didn’t feel completely restored, even after having absorbed energy from a half-step D-Grade beast. That pointed toward the fact that restoring energy for **[Force of the Void]** wasn’t the main purpose for **[Void Heart]**, at least not when absorbing energy from Beast Cores. It was likely that the rest of the energy either worked on improving the bloodline or the node itself. **Chapter 647**
* The array barriers of cultists couldn’t stop him from summoning [Nature’s Punishment] outside, allowing him to launch a surprise attack. High-quality barriers and arrays could seal off space to prevent one from circumventing the shields. The entrapment array the cultists had set up seemed to possess the same abilities, but his odd Bloodline Talent still had completely circumvented it somehow. **Chapter 649**
* "The most palpable change was his Bloodline Talent - [Force of the Void]. Until now, it had held 32% of his normal energy reserves, but that number had been pushed up to 38% in one go. It was just 6 more percent, but it was still an amazing step forward considering he had barely progressed that much after years of absorbing energy back on Earth." **Chapter 752**
* "Putting aside the matters of the new Hidden Node and his Contribution Points, he had also pushed [Force of the Void] another 4%." **Chapter 761**
* Thankfully, **[Force of the Void]** had taken a significant leap forward after gorging itself on the tower's treasures. However, Zac couldn't find anything else new with the Bloodline Talent. **Chapter 1,160**

### Void Zone

**15 meter radius (Chapter 1,160)**

* Spherical domain centered around Zac that repels energy (Twilight energy, Cosmic energy, etc.) but not physical objects, and makes Skills weaker and more difficult to activate (both Zac's and others') except when Zac activates a Skill with [Force of the Void] in which case the Skill works at full power. **Chapter 737**
* "The cave was absolutely drowned in Twilight Energy, but the situation was different within a sphere of two meters around his body. It was like he was enclosed in a small sanctuary, where the density was just a tenth of the energy outside. It wasn't like some void was swallowing the rest of the energy, but rather that it was somehow kept at bay." **Chapter 737**
* "Zac tried to activate [Profane Exponents] next, but he frowned when he felt some sort of resistance when trying to activate the skill. It looked like even his own body was under the effect of the weird field he emitted, prohibiting him from doing anything. Zac changed his tactic and tried to activate the skill outside the zone as well, but the sensation of great resistance was the same. The suppression wasn’t absolute though, and as he pushed even further the skeletons appeared behind him, though they looked a bit bleak. A barrier appeared, but it took its sweet time, and it was significantly weakened. Zac dispelled the three pygmies, but they returned just a few seconds later, this time full of power as they radiated that ancient aura of his hidden energy reserve." **Chapter 737**
* "This was a true domain, far surpassing those he used to create a restrictive hellscape inside the cage of [Profane Seal]. The only problem was that its radius was a bit too low for it to have too much practical effect, since most fights ended without Zac getting within such a close proximity of his enemies. However, the skill had just been awakened. Just like how the storage of **[Force of the Void]** grew, so should the radius of [Void Zone]." **Chapter 737**
* "The biggest difference was whether the energy entering the domain was “owned” or not. If it was ownerless energy like the ambient Twilight Energy, the effect was extremely pronounced. However, even talismans maintained around half of their efficiency when he launched them at himself with the help of his chains. Skills were even less restrained, and his Spirit Tools weren’t really affected at all from entering or exiting the sphere. In other words, it was a pure energy barrier, with no real effect on physical objects." **Chapter 737**
* He'd already field-tested **[Void Zone]**, confirming it now sported a radius of fifteen meters. **Chapter 1,160**
* The nullification was only twice as strong as before, but Zac had already figured out the mechanics when escaping the tower. The further he contracted the sphere, the stronger it got. Middle Hegemons would find it incredibly difficult to counter the effects if he shrank it to his current minimum of five meters. **Chapter 1,160**

### Void Mountain

* The illusory mountain's reappearance created a weak resonance from **[Spiritual Void]**, though nothing happened beyond that. **Chapter 1,160**
* A ferocious Void Energy surged from the mountain, and Zac directed it into the stalk from before. Its color rapidly faded until the stalk shattered like it was made from coal. **[Void Mountain]** didn't just suppress energy and Dao like **[Void Zone]**. It extinguished it. **Chapter 1,160**

## Hidden Bloodline Nodes

### **[D]** **Void Heart**

**[Void Heart – An all-encompassing heart born from the primordial void.]** An Inherited Node he opened with the **Eye of Har’Teriam** (**Chapter 493**) Allows Zac to absorb harmful energies or toxins and store them in his blood, reducing the harm they would cause him, but requiring him to cut himself and bleed out the tainted blood afterwards.

* Another small benefit came from his **[Void Heart]**. It had actually absorbed some of the dense energies in the cave and pushed it into the next node to break open, this one located in his right leg instead. **Book 6, Page 46**
* The **[Void Heart]** was no use for upgrading his Race either, but rather the opposite. **Book 6, Page 55**
* Even better, it looked like energy extracted with his hidden node stayed within his body longer without dissipating compared to the energy that came from kills. **Book 6, Page 128**
* His **[Void Heart]** had turned inert since swallowing the tendril of Tribulation Lightning. It wouldn’t activate no matter what he did or what energies he consumed. **Book 6, Page 397**
* For example, his **[Void Heart]** couldn’t infinitely swallow energy. It followed a cycle of absorption, purification, and release. **Book 7, Page 104**
* Most treasures were simply turned into Cosmic Energy by **[Void Heart]**, while a few items with strong Spatial Energies seemed to nurture the hidden node to some degree. **Book 8, Page 140**
* Some of the energy that entered **[Void Heart]** was always turned into Void Energy. **Book 8, Page 453**
* The node had undergone a subtle change after swallowing the mysterious light released by the Seal of the Left Imperial Palace. It never spat anything back out as it did with tribulation lightning. Instead, it grew slightly larger. Now, it emitted a stronger pull than it ever had before. **Chapter 879**
* Ten hours later, **[Purity of the Void]** had finally cleansed a good deal of the poisons that had snuck into his body, while **[Void Heart]** had turned another chunk into pure energy while leaving large amounts of toxins in his blood. Thanks to **[Purity of the Void]**, Zac rarely had to exsanguinate his blood any longer, but this time there were simply too many toxins. **Chapter 892**
* **[Void Heart]** could refine and distill the insights of the Lost Plane. **Chapter 921**
* For example, he could tell the **[Void Heart]** which energies to eat and which to leave behind, including energies that weren't even harmful to him. (**Chapter 1,002**). *Ability gained upon completing the third layer of the Void Varja Sublimation and gaining Void Self.*
* ... and how much quicker his **[Void Heart]** refined Void-based items compared to normal treasures. **Chapter 1,055**

### [D] Spiritual Void

**[Spiritual Void - An omnivorous mind tempered by the primordial void.]** An Inherited Node he opened after an intense fight with a pack of E-grade wolves within the New Earth Mystic Realm by consuming his Bloodline Marrow treasure (**Chapter 587**). Constantly drains a small amount of mental energy to store for later use; it allowed him to infuse around 20% more mental energy into his skills, which made his attacks around 10% more powerful compared to before if you contributed half his power to his Dao Fragments. (**Chapter 589**). His total storage capacity can be increased by filling the node to capacity and then forcing more inside. After waiting for it to stabilize, that amount becomes the norm. His node capacity exceeded the total normal capacity of his soul **(Chapter 669)**. **[Spiritual Void]** can help Zac to hide his Dao emanations to a superficial scan: "Between his aura-hiding bracer and **[Spiritual Void]** swallowing his Dao emanations, he should look like a mortal who somehow gained the ability of flight." (**Chapter 883**)

It was no longer just a voracious enigma but three separate containers—one for each of his Daos. There wasn't actually more than 10% of his total stores for each of his Daos, but it was incredibly dense and pure. Ultimately, the true use of [Spiritual Void] was to temporarily bolster his Daos by almost a full stage rather than acting as a Dao Battery. (**Chapter 1,002**) Ability gained upon completing the third layer of the Void Varja Sublimation and gaining Void Self.

### **[D]** **Purity of the Void**

**[Purity of the Void]** - unlocked in **Chapter 658**. Every hour or so it released a mysterious pulse that shook loose small amounts of impurities, which apparently included everything from foreign Dao to Pill Toxicity, from his cells, which then entered his bloodstream. As his blood passed the node, some of the impurities were swallowed, never to return (**Chapter 659**).

After swallowing the mysterious light released by the Seal of the Left Imperial Palace, it had become more efficient. **Chapter 879**

Similarly, he could tell **[Purity of the Void]** what to focus its purification on, another ability that would have saved him a lot of headaches over the past years. (**Chapter 1,002**) Ability gained upon completing the third layer of the Void Varja Sublimation and gaining Void Self.

## Bloodline Method

* Void Vajra Sublimation
* **[Bloodline Resonance]** - a cultivation manual used for awakening and controlling Bloodlines that Zac received from the True Sky Faction; has a very high affinity for all bloodlines regardless of their nature, at a cost of having a very low level of potency - it was compared by Zac to the Cultivation Manuals simply labelled as [Cultivation Manual] by the System. The method it used was fairly simple, involving Zac simply pushing his mental energy out into his body with periodic ripples, and preventing them from leaving his body (**Chapter 643**). Unlike more powerful or specialized Bloodline Methods, it has no benefits aside from allowing Zac to turn his bloodline on and off (**Chapter 644**).
* Ultimately, it wasn't the Life-Attuned Constitution that would allow him to connect with **[Void Heart]** and his Bloodline. It was the Heart Cultivating aspect rolled into the method. **Chapter 945**
