Chapter 464 - Refining An Overlord Plane Beast Core
Lapis City gate.
Grey walked out of the city gate but stopped when he saw a carriage waiting by the side. Even though he wasn't familiar with the royal family, he still knew their family insignia.
'Old man Gerald should be there as well,' He thought to himself.
He originally wanted to see him so he could ask for some essence stones, but since he had already obtained some, he didn't really see the need in meeting up with him anymore.
He turned around, walking in another direction so he wouldn't be seen by old man Gerald.
Void soon appeared on his shoulder, a smug look on his face.
"Satisfied?" Grey asked as soon as Void appeared.
"Yeah, pretty much," Void nodded.
"Where to now?" He asked while looking around.
"Back to the Magical Beasts' forest, we'll be leaving this place now," Grey replied.
"Finally, a new challenge!" Void said happily.
"Yeah, just to be clear, they know of the space element, so you can't do things willy-nilly," Grey warned.
"No, why did you ask?" Void shook his head.
"Oh, there's an array here that deters magical beasts from going in," Grey explained.
"That's for low-leveled beasts, if a Dragon or even a Griffin come here, they can easily pass these things," Void said, his voice oozing with disdain for the array.
Grey nodded before walking into the building, he planned to refine the core before heading to the new continent. He was still in the Eighth stage of the Origin Plane. Although, this can be attributed to the fact that he hadn't really cultivated since leaving the trail land.
He had only advanced in his stages because of comprehending a new element and also refining a treasure.
'I've used too many treasures for my advancements, although it's not good since it would make my foundation weak, comprehending new elements has been able to remove that disadvantage,' He thought to himself while walking into the building.
He soon came to a decision that once he gets to the Overlord Plane, he would focus fully on cultivating without using any treasures, although he couldn't really be too sure.
After getting into the building, he instantly sat down in a crossed leg position, taking out the black core, he swallowed it whole. This was the first time he was refining anything that had to do with the Overlord Plane, hence he didn't carelessly try to refine the core in a single instance as he did with the cores of beasts in the Origin Plane.
As soon as the beast core entered his body, a rich and large amount of elemental essence erupted from it, spreading across his entire body. The intensity of the essence was so much that for a few seconds, Grey was scared thinking he bit more than he could chew. Luckily, his elemental beads started spinning quickly, before giving off a strange aura that was able to easily quell the spread of the essence.
The wild elemental essence was quickly tamed. It soon started following the right path, not daring to cause any problems in Grey's body. Since the Jaguar was a Lightning and Darkness Dual Elementalist, it was filled with both elemental essence.
The essence separated into two parts, one flowing into his darkness elemental bead while the other headed straight for his lightning elemental bead.
'It's just like what happened when Alice's dad tried to suppress me with his Overlord Plane aura,' Grey thought when he sensed the aura his elemental beads spread out.
He knew this had to do with the orb he absorbed, but he still didn't know anything about it.
Since he couldn't come up with why this was happening, he decided to focus on advancing his stage.
