Chapter 833 Fighting A Rank Six Magical Beast

Two days went by in a flash.

Grey and Void were still hiding inside the cave they made in the volcano. The treasure was already exhausted and Grey was currently giving off the aura of a Ninth stage Overlord Plane Elementalist. His eyes were still shut as he tried to get used to his new cultivation stage, as well as to figure out what the blue light was.

After some time, he managed to locate the blue light. He had tried communicating with it, but he was unable to make it budge in the slightest.

While Grey was busy trying to figure out what the pale blue light was and what it was used for, he noticed a change in the surrounding. The essence around the place was converging at a particular spot.

Void was on the verge of breaking through to the Sage Plane.

Grey opened his eyes and saw Void floating in the air. His eyes shone with a black light that seemed somewhat demonic. His fur fluttered from the wind circulating around due to the excess essence in the area.

Even the essence in the volcano rushed there, alerting the double-headed snake. It raised its heads to look in the direction of the commotion.

Void lifted into the air and he started to grow larger. This wasnʼt Greyʼs first time seeing him in this size, although he was still a little amazed every time he saw it.

”This will alert the beast. Unfortunately, thereʼs nothing I can do. Hopefully, he breaks through in a short time.” Grey muttered as he looked at Void.

The converging of the essence started to make the lava in the volcano unsettled as it started to move from side to side.

Outside the volcano. The sky was getting darker as the essence circulated in the air. After getting to a particular point, it shot out a single drop of essence that was in a liquid form.

Whenever a Magical beast or an Elementalist gets to the Sage Plane, they would all get this. This is like a blessing from the world, giving them the purest essence it could offer, as well as offering the profoundness of each element. If one was lucky, they could awaken their domains from this.

Void already had his space domain, if he could get a second domain, it would boost his strength to another level.

Grey hoped this was what happened.

The drop of essence dropped into the cave. When the snake saw it, its eyes lit up and it charged straight to the cave.

Grey was astounded by the essence, just staring at it alone gave him a sense of oneness with the world. If he got the chance to observe this thing more, then he would be able to advance his elemental grades faster.

ʼIf only.ʼ He thought as he stared at it.

He had heard of people stealing this essence just as the person or beast breaking through assimilates with it.

ʼI wonder if those guys will get some things from it.ʼ He thought about the triplet.

After some time, he found a way to send them inside the cave. Surprisingly, the temperature was okay in the cave.

After telling them to try to gain whatever they can before Void completely assimilated with the essence, he stepped into the void and vanished. He could already sense the aura of the snake as it was rushing in their direction.

He appeared outside, blocking the path of the snake. He was already in his Fusion State, three fusion orbs were in his hands, and it brought out two of the attacking talismans he got from his Teacher.

No matter what, he would make sure Void broke through successfully.

The double-headed snake saw Grey and it naturally paused, when it sensed his aura, it attacked without a second thought. Grey was still in the Overlord Plane, and he was no match for it.

Grey already knew this would happen, so he didnʼt panic. With a wave of his hand, the orbs shot at the snake.

The snake opened its mouths and spat out two streams of fire. One headed in Greyʼs direction while the other collided with the fusion orbs.

The orbs broke apart and the impact forced Grey back. He managed to block the second attack, but he still slammed into the wall of the volcano.

ʼSo this is the difference in strength eh?ʼ He struggled to crawl out of the hole he made on the wall.

He knew from the start that he was no match for the snake, but he didnʼt think the difference in strength was this huge. The Sage Plane and the Overlord Plane are miles apart.

ʼLuckily, all I need to do is delay it.ʼ

Grey shot out from the hole and used one of his Teacherʼs talismans. The moment the talismanʼs attack collided with the snake, it smacked Grey with its tail, sending him crashing into the wall once again.

The snake was unable to dodge the attack since it didnʼt think anything of it. It was after it was hit by the attack it knew it was not something it could neglect.

However, with Grey gone, it rushed in the direction of its target. Whatever was breaking through to the Sage Plane would be gone soon, so it had to ensure it got there before it happened.

Boom!

The snake retreated when it noticed Greyʼs presence in front of it. And even before Grey was able to come out of the spatial tunnel, it spat a large fireball at it, pushing Grey back into the spatial tunnel.

Greyʼs figure appeared behind it and it swung its tail at him once again.

Grey was getting trounced, but he couldnʼt let the snake have its way. He was on the verge of crying, the snake was literally forcing him back into the spatial tunnel, making him unable to attack it. If he appeared too far from the snake, then it would be able to dodge the attack easily.

The snake wanted to get to Void, but it was apprehensive of the talisman Grey had with him, so it couldnʼt neglect him. It planned to squash the human pestering it before getting what was left of the essence.

It turned around, facing Grey.
