Published Mar 11, 2026, 03:53 PM

Chapter 480: The Strongest In The Origin Plane The battles went on, and more people started to try out their luck. After almost two hours, only one person has managed to defeat the opponent from the Abyss Faction, and it was a young lady who was in her early twenties and at the Peak of the Origin Plane. Two more people impressed, although they didn’t win their fights, it was a hard-fought victory for the youngsters from the Abyss Faction. Grey was a little skeptical after watching the battles between those at the Peak of the Origin Plane. The thing was, he was confident that he could defeat the two of them if he went all out. So he didn’t know if there was any need to try out his strength against them. ‘Looks like this Faction is a small Faction in this continent. I want to fight against real geniuses, not some weaklings.’ He thought to himself. He decided to wait a little longer, maybe he could make a request of wanting to fight against someone in the Overlord Plane. One hour soon went by with seven more battles taking place. One of the fighters from the crowd was able to achieve victory, although it was only by a hair’s breadth, a win’s a win nonetheless. ‘Hey, aren’t you going?’ Void’s voice resounded in Grey’s head. Grey stood up, walking towards the arena. As soon as he stood up, he naturally attracted the attention of others since they were waiting for who would go next. “Look, it’s that guy who sat close to the arena. Guess he’s going to try out his hand,” “Do you think he can win?” “Against those from the Abyss Faction? Heh! I’m not too sure if he’s lucky to face someone with a low elemental grade, then yes, but someone with an elemental grade higher than violet, then he would be in for a lot of trouble,” Some of the people who had taken note of Grey from the time they were watching the fight between Gareth and the Barbarian started speaking about his chances of winning. The only reason he gained this much attention was all because of where he sat down previously. When the man in charge of the event noticed the small commotion that Grey’s appearance in the arena caused, he couldn’t help but glance at him, studying him properly. “Peak of the Origin Plane,” Grey said coolly. He was still wearing his mask, but it couldn’t hide his handsome face. After he announced his cultivation stage, a youth from the special area walked forward. When the others in the special area saw the young man who stood up, they shook their heads, looking at Grey with a pitiful gaze. Some of the people in the crowd recognized the young man, and it sparked a discussion. “Isn’t that Euric?” “Yes, according to what I heard, of all the people in the Origin Plane in the Abyss Faction, this young man is the strongest. He is powerful enough to go against someone who just broke through to the Overlord Plane,” Grey was a little taken aback when he heard some of the discussions going on, and a smile appeared on his face. ‘How lucky, someone worthy, I hope,’ He thought. He studied the young man who was walking towards the arena, the young man looked to be at least a year younger than him. And from what he could tell, he wasn’t far from breaking through to the Overlord Plane. He couldn’t help but sigh at the speed the people here grew. Back in the Azure continent, there are only a few people close to the Overlord Plane who were still below twenty, and they were all helped by the treasures they found in the trial land. Euric soon stood before Grey, also studying him. The man hosting the event didn’t delay and quickly called for the battle to begin. With a simple step, Euric vanished, appearing in Grey’s right, attacking with an earth pillar. Grey took his time, not rushing to defend, with a simple wave, he blocked the pillar with an earth wall of his own. Boom! The pillar slammed into the wall, but after causing some cracks to appear in it, it wasn’t able to break it. Euric didn’t brood over being unable to instantly bring Grey down, he attacked again, this time, with a different element, the lightning element. Grey looked around, a smile on his face as red lightning danced across his body. He soon disappeared from his spot, with a red flash streaking across the arena quickly. Boom! A blue flame erupted from where the red streak passed through, shooting towards Euric. Euric was left stunned when he saw this. He had used three elements in this battle, and just like him, Grey had also used the same number of elements. And from the speed Grey was showing, it was easy to see he was faster than him. …. In the stands, every person watching the battle stood up when they saw the blue flames. It was something to have one special element, but having two is rare. Grey’s lightning was red, and his flame was blue, this significantly increased the speed and attack power of each element. Those in the special area were stunned when they saw the strongest Elementalist in the Origin Plane from the Abyss Faction being on the back foot against someone unknown. The representatives were all watching the fight with serious expressions. Losing to someone like Grey wouldn’t be a disgrace, since it’s normal for those with special elements to be more powerful than those in the same stage. “Wow! He’s also a Multi-Elementalist, I knew he was special,” Someone from the crowd said. “Shut up you liar, weren’t you the one saying he will lose within a second?” Another person refuted. “I was only trying to see what you all will say, and none of you had any hope in him,” The first person said, refusing to agree to what they were saying. “Hmph! I can’t be bothered with arguing with you now,” Someone else said. …. Back in the arena. Euric was pushed back after trying to block the fireball that Grey sent towards him. The expression on his face was one of anger and humiliation.
