Chapter 976 Keep On Challenging Him

Lucien stood motionless as he watched the colorful scene in the sky, he lost all hope at this moment.

He was already in the Ninth stage of the Sage Plane, but he had not awakened his domain yet, but Grey who was only in the Fifth stage had awoken not just one but two. Just staring at the two told him they were not ordinary but top tier. Thinking about it, he couldnʼt help but shiver at the thought of Grey awakening another.

Grey has used four elements; if he successfully awakens all of them before he becomes an Elemental Sovereign, then his name would surely shake the entire continent.

All the geniuses in the area were staring at the sky in awe. Even some of the Elemental Sovereigns were still shocked by this. Some of them who had multiple elements had only awakened one, but Grey who was still in the Sage Plane had awoken two. If they knew that he awakened one of them when he was still in the Overlord Plane, then they would freak out even more.

The domains moved down, enveloping Lucien who had dropped all defenses, he knew that against something like this, there was nothing he could do against it. Even if he used all his strength to create a defensive wall, he would still not be able to block it.

Just as the attack was about to eliminate Lucien, he was covered by a protective wall.

”Heʼs defenseless, you win.” The old man who had seemed to be on Greyʼs side said.

Grey extinguished the attack before landing on the ground. He looked at the dazed eyes of Lucien.

”Tch.”

He walked back to his seat. Since he was already victorious, there was no need to stand there. He knew that since he had defeated him, there was no need in killing him. Of course it would be better if he killed him, but since he canʼt kill him with the interference of the old man, he wouldnʼt force it.

”Thank you, Elder.” Lucien bowed to the old man before walking down the platform with a dull look in his eyes. It was evident that this ordeal broke him.

Grey got back to his seat and didnʼt say a word to anyone, he shut his eyes and entered a state of meditation.

The next person to step on the platform was from the Nether Faction. After the Burchard Family eliminated three of those in the Ninth stage, only two of them were left. Lucien had challenged Grey, and he was defeated. Now, it was the turn of the last person in the Ninth stage.

The young man walked onto the platform, with a broad smile on his face, he pointed at a figure in the crowd of the Burchard Family, ”You, step out.”

When everyone looked in the direction he was pointing at, only one figure was there, and this figure had his eyes closed. It was none other than Grey.

Greyʼs last battles had exhausted him, although he had won these battles, everyone could see that he was slowly getting exhausted.

Grey opened his eyes to look at the smug face of the young man.

”Elder, whatʼs this, they canʼt challenge a single person over and over again.” The leader of the Burchard Family finally stood up.

”Actually, they can.” The old man replied.

This hadnʼt happened before, but technically, it was not against the rules.

The leader of the Burchard Family was about to speak when he noticed Grey was walking towards the platform.

ʼThis kid.ʼ

He stopped himself before taking his seat. Since Grey had already stepped forward, then he would let him settle this himself.

”How long can you last in your current state?” The young man asked with a smile.

Grey didnʼt reply to his words as he took a deep breath. He looked at the old man, waiting for him to give the go-ahead for the battle.

The moment the old man gave the nod, Grey exploded out with terrifying power. This time, even those from the Nether Family couldnʼt sit still any longer.

Even with all that Grey has been through, the fact that he could still use this much strength was beyond their expectations. Not just that, but Greyʼs explosive power was on another level. With every battle, the shock Grey gives them is larger than the last one.

The young man seeing Grey use a stronger attack power than what he used before shocked him.

He tried to block the orb coming his way, but he was sent flying by the impact of the attack. He couldnʼt even block it since the power was more than his own.

Before he could hit the ground, Grey was already standing behind him, grabbing him with one hand, he slammed him into the ground, which already had both domains active.

The young man was covered by the domain, he managed to resist for a little while, but he was soon unable to resist.

The old man snapped his finger and Greyʼs domain was contained. He didnʼt forcefully extinguish it since it would cause a backlash on Grey.

Grey seeing this knew it was his cue to stop fighting. He stopped and looked at the young man who barely had his eyes open.

”Longer than you, I presume.” He finally answered the young manʼs question before walking off.

In the space of one hour, this was his third battle. He first fought against someone at the Peak, before fighting against Lucien, and now, he was fighting against another person.

He darted a look at the old man as he was walking off and the old man shook his head at him.

ʼHe doesnʼt want me to kill people anymore?ʼ He thought to himself as he walked back.

When he first started to fight, the old man allowed him to freely kill his opponents, but after killing two, the old man seemingly didnʼt want him to kill anyone else.

ʼFine, winning is all thatʼs important anyway. I donʼt think that moron would want to find trouble with me after beating him so much.ʼ
