The Tale of the Void Emperor-Chapter 700: Star-Seer Firmament Chasm

In a bustling city filled with colorful wooden structures, Aren, Lily, Mimi, Huarin, and Dreevindo were walking in the street.

Mimi's appearance had changed entirely now. Her eighth and age appearance was still that of 17 years old, but her face had changed a bit, and the crystal on her forehead was nowhere to be seen.

She wore a frock dress with black and light blue designs.

"Let's hope that they haven't sent their men to search for us here," Dreevindo said while looking around.

"We have worn disguises, so it's fine," Lily said.

...

After walking for a while, they arrived at a large plaza filled with many people as they waited for their turn to get on the giant dark silver disk floating at the end of the plaza.

After arriving here, Athan and others saw fifteen people standing on the dark silver disk. A second later, the eccentric patterns on the dark silver disk glowed for a moment before all fifteen people disappeared.

"Dreevindo, go and buy our tickets," Athan said.

Dreevindo nodded as he went to buy the tickets and came back after two minutes.

"Let's go; we don't need to stay in the queue, hehe," Dreevindo said with a grin as he walked towards the dark silver disk and told Athan and others to follow him.

"How?" Mimi asked.

"By paying more money, of course," Dreevindo said softly with a smile, "the next turn will be our."

After walking towards the disk, they waited for the next batch to leave.

After the batch left, Dreevindo said something to the person who was controlling the disk through telepathy and showed a token.

Seeing that, the person nodded.

Athan and others then flew on the disk and stood there.

"Why are they skipping queue?" A young man with long pointy ears and two antennae on his head spoke with dissatisfaction as he looked at the main guy controlling the disk.

"Pay triple, and you can go as well."

Hearing that, the young man shut his mouth and muttered with a frown, "humph, my turn is next; why would I pay more?"

"Then shut up."

...

After Athan and others disappeared, they arrived on another dark silver disk at a large floating city.

"Phew! We are finally at the Star-Seer Firmament Chasm, hahaha, now we are safe."

"Wow, so beautiful," Mimi said as she looked at the sky.

The sky was really beautiful as it had large and wide colorful slashes that spanned across thousands of kilometers.

"Hehe, look below," Dreevindo said with a laugh.

Athan and others flew away from the disk and directly left the city as they were at the very corner of the floating city, and there weren't any walls or anything. It was a flat floating land with buildings on it. However, a barrier surrounded the whole city with a hundred meters of a gap between the barrier and the city's border.

Athan, Lily, Mimi, and Huarin were once again surprised as they looked below, which had almost the same scenery as the sky.

"Mimi, since you were born in Orchos Firmament, didn't you ever go to Firmament Chams?" Dreevindo asked with doubt.

"Nope, I never went to places like this one," Mimi shook her head.

"This place, it's indeed like a chasm between something," Athan said as he observed the sky and ground.

"Yep, but these are unending. You can go below or at the top; it will never end. However, the spawning of dimensional rifts will increase as you go far below or top," Dreevindo said.

"But there are really many people here, some are going in the sky, and some are going below," Lily said, "And those floating islands, what are they?"

The sky and ground were unending and were filled with floating islands of different sizes.

"The floating islands around here are of private companies. It's better that we stay away from them," Dreevindo said with a wry smile, "anyway, we can either go top or bottom; the going top is known as Empyrean Path, and going below is known as Abyss Path. What we will encounter is not up to us, and going to either side is the same thing."

"Can we go to the next Lerento from here?" Athan asked as he looked at Dreevindo.

"We can; when we encounter a golden-colored rift portal, we can go to a Firmament Chasm of different Lerento. However, it's random. We may appear in any Lerento from 1st to 7th."

"Are these two sides really unending?" Huarin asked with doubt.

"Ehh...actually, nobody went to measure their size or see if there is an end, so we don't know, "Dreevindo said with a wry smile, "people would usually go into Dimension Rifts to train and gather resources or go into Lerento Rift to go to different Lerento, so it's been told that they are unending."

"Let's go to the top," Athan said as he flew towards the sky. Lily and others followed him as well.

Once they left the barrier, they suddenly felt a change in atmosphere and were surprised.

Lily raised her eyebrows and asked, "why is there no orchos energy here? This is completely empty except for the space, which feels more sturdy."

"Indeed, that city was powered by a large power source of Orchos energy that is found in dimension Rifts and kept that atmosphere. However, this chasm is like this," Dreevindo said with a smile, "naturally, the real exciting and dangerous part is dimensional rifts."

"Those dimension rifts will only appear for several seconds before disappearing, and...," Dreevindo continued with a serious expression, "we can also encounter people inside who are vying for resources and training, so we must be careful once we enter inside one."

Athan and others nodded before everyone continued flying high in the sky.

After flying for ten minutes, they passed by a floating island. The island was surrounded by a transparent barrier as Athan and others could see many people of different races, including humans, dwarves, elves, vampires, partying and celebrating as if something good had happened.

Dreevindo said enviously, "they must have found a good haul in a dimensional rift."
