Chapter 752 752: Void Outposts Consumption
While Maximus returned to the Shadow Void Ship, the Absolutes watching the virtual map heaved a sigh of relief.
"Maximus finally took a break…"
"Huh~ This monster could potentially wipe out all the dark beasts himself."
These few weeks, as they wantonly killed the dark beasts, they noticed an anomaly on the virtual map.
Patches of dark beasts seemed to disappear every second.
At first, it couldn't catch up to the number of dark beasts entering the Aeon Plane.
However, as time passed, a clear void began to appear, forming a unique pattern on the virtual map.
If not for knowing that the Overlords were in seclusion, they wouldn't believe it was Maximus who was on the killing spree.
"Do you think he killed that Tier 12 dark beast himself?"
"We don't know… It should be."
Seeing a Tier 12 dark beast disappear around Maximus' position, they felt astounded.
This was more outrageous than Maximus clearing the map.
Killing lower-tier dark beasts in massive numbers just required efficiency, but killing a Tier 12 dark beast required raw power.
Even Marcus, the strongest Absolute, barely killed a Tier 12 dark beast with the help of many and over thousands of years of relentless battle.
On the other hand, Maximus just took a few minutes to do so, filling them with disbelief.
"Maybe he relied on external things? Like a Void Ship, Tier 12 Weapon?"
"Maybe…"
However, looking at the virtual map, they knew in their hearts that Maximus killed the dark beast by himself.
The newly enhanced Dark Plane Blaster couldn't work on its own. It needed a platform to anchor, or it would burst from its own pressure.
Based on the map, they deduced the Shadow Void Ship should be on the other side of the void.
Thus, unless Maximus had another Void Outpost or a dimensional ship of the same quality as their family ship, carrying another Dark Plane Blaster was impossible.

On the other side, returning to the Shadow Void Ship, Maximus called his family, still fighting outside.
"Are we going now?"
Having fought only for a few weeks, they were a little unsatisfied.
Having the strength of an Absolute, they were like high-level players bullying the dark beasts that had tortured them during training.
"Hmm, it's time to head to the core of the Dark Void Domain." Maximus nodded.
Instead of wasting their time in the Shadow Void Outpost, they had better prepare for the full outbreak of the Dark Disaster six million years later.
Understanding their priority, his family nodded, calming the battle intent in their hearts.
Soon, instructing Wanderer and Eternal Voyager to head to their destination, Maximus took a rest, summarizing their current power.
[Maximus Shadowcrest
Realm: Tier 11
Physique: Plane Source
Path: Absolute of Knowledge – 35%]
"My power is not nearly enough…"
If his Absolute of Knowledge was at 80 or 90% progression, he could kill a Tier 12 dark beast with a few punches.
Instead of grinding it down to a paste, his attack could directly cut off a Tier 12 dark beast's source of dark energy.
Unfortunately, too little time had passed.
Give him ten million more years, and the Absolute of knowledge could advance to 99% progression.
He didn't have to worry about any bottleneck. As long as he merged Seeds of Path or Ultimate Treasures into the Source of Knowledge, he could advance.
Unfortunately, this damn dark disaster was too eager to show up.
Sighing in pity, Maximus began calculating how much energy each Void Outpost consumed.
This was an important part of his plan. If it consumed too much energy that he could generate, everything would be all for naught.
Fortunately, after checking the energy consumption over the past few weeks, a Void Outpost only used quintillions of origin energy per day on average.
Compared to his output of about 7 sextillion origin energy, it was nothing.
With this calculation, Maximus could even support a thousand more Void Outposts without any problem.
Of course, this calculation didn't include the energy needed to fire a Dark Plane Blaster.
Once it was fired, sextillions of origin energy was a small amount compared to what he needed to spend.
Furthermore, once the Absolutes onboard began to rest, the barrier protecting the Void Outpost would need to work in full capacity.
Maximus estimated that the energy usage by then would skyrocket to tens of quintillions.
Fortunately, the Order of Maxim was still diligently creating Ether Devices.
After another million years of nonstop work, they built over 1.7 billion pieces of Ether Forge.
Coupled with the progress of the Source of Knowledge, amplifying his energy generation by 47 times, it wouldn't be long before he hit the limit of what the Aeon Plane could produce.
Absorbing 99 sextillion units of origin every day, Maximus could support thousands of outposts without any pressure.
With enough reserve, it could even shoot up to tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
By then, much less the dark beasts, they would even dare to conquer other planes in the Chaos Void.
With top talents on the way to the Absolute Realm and the Ether Devices being built, the only limiting factor for the rise of the Aeon Plane was time.
After deliberating on various consumption points and limitations of the Void Outposts, Maximus and his family began to rest.
Although they seemed to be bullying the dark beasts, the influence of the dark energy on their cores still needed to be cleansed.
---
A few months later, after a long voyage, they arrived in the core of the Dark Void Domain.
In the past, the entrance to this place had been unreachable.
One, they didn't have enough strength to break through the dense number of dark beasts.
Two, the Overlords had quarantined the place, allowing only Absolutes to pass through.
Now that they had the strength to pass through swarms of dark beasts, and the rules had been broken due to the first wave of the Dark Disaster, Maximus and his family passed through easily.
Arriving in the core of the Dark Void Domain, they felt their bodies suddenly tighten.
"Wanderer, Eternal Voyager, begin deploying the micro surveillance array. Also, be careful and don't attract any threats…" Maximus said solemnly.
Although he was sure there weren't any Tier 13 dark beasts in the area, Maximus still felt a palpitation in his heart.
This place seemed like a hellhole that would suck everything out.
"No—this place has traces of the Black Sigil!" Mira shouted in horror.
What do you think?
