Chapter 798 Unable To Leave The biggest improvement Grey made wasn't comprehending gravity, rather, it was the huge boost in his earth elemental grade and his physical strength. His physical strength went from around the Fifth stage of the Overlord Plane to the Eighth stage. It was currently tied with his cultivation stage. Then for his earth elemental grade, it shot past the violet grade and settled at the red grade. Of all his elements, the earth element currently had the second highest grade, from being among the lowest to becoming the second highest. Grey felt a tinge of satisfaction from his upgrade. This would help in his advancement here. "What now?" Void asked. Grey's strength has gone up, which meant that he had achieved his purpose of coming here. There is a chance to improve further, but it will take too long. Grey wanted to join a Faction, so he didn't have all the time in the world. "Let's check out the capital once again. Maybe those guys aren't done with their mission yet." Grey speculated. The group told him they wanted to raid the capital, he knew they couldn't rush in carelessly since the danger would be high. If they wanted to do anything, it would take some time and careful planning. "Alright, let's go then." Void nodded. Grey and Void left the cave he was cultivating in and headed for the capital. It took them a little over two days to get to their destination. They stayed in their usual spot, with Void sneaking in to see if he could find any juicy news. Grey thought of bringing out the brothers, but when he thought about it, he left them alone. He didn't know if there was a way they could call others. Void came back two hours later to inform him there had been no unusual activities in the capital of late. "Could they have given up on the idea of their raid?" Grey fell into thoughts. He didn't really know much about the group, and since he wasn't all that interested in the raid from the start, he didn't bother to find out why they weren't there. The journey here had given him a lot of improvement, so he was satisfied. He had never been the greedy type. "Let's get going." He turned around decisively. There were multiple opportunities for him here, but he didn't want to rely on treasures for his upgrading. This was enough for him for now. Maybe after consolidating his cultivation when he broke through to the Sage Plane he would attempt using a treasure once again. As things stand, even if he shared that treasure with Void, he wouldn't try to use it to improve his cultivation, instead, he would focus it on his elemental grade. Grey brought out his tracking device, and after getting the direction of the one he hid after entering this place, he headed in that direction. Void didn't have any problems with them leaving this place now since there was nothing of interest to him here. He hadn't sensed anything that he liked, and the few times he entered the capital, he took some souvenirs. Two days later, Grey and Void got to where the portal they used in coming in was, and they couldn't help but watch from afar. He could see multiple horned men standing there, and all of them were at the Peak of the Overlord Plane. Their auras were different from that of the horned youths he fought against the last time. They were far more powerful than those youths. "Crap, they managed to locate it." He couldn't help but complain. This was his only way of leaving this place freely. The idea of using the Fusion State came to his mind, and just as he was about to use it, he saw a scene that made his heart sink. The group of horned men created a formation that made the portal shake vigorously. "Damn it! They're destroying it." Grey gritted his teeth angrily. If this portal was closed, then he had no way of leaving. However, he couldn't rush into it now even with the Fusion State since the space was unstable. Rushing in would mean he had to risk being trapped in space, or even worse, the spatial tunnel back to the Aurora Continent breaks apart and he enters the turbulent space. 'Why do these things always happen to me?' He felt a tinge of frustration. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦 He could only watch as the portal back to the Aurora Continent was destroyed. "What now?" Void asked. Even he had no way of going back to the Aurora Continent. His control over space wasn't at that level yet. Besides, he didn't even know how far they were from the Aurora Continent. The main reason that expert was able to create this portal was that he already had a link, which was the portal the horned race used in entering the Aurora Continent. "What else can we do? We will have to use the portal they are using." Grey sighed in exhaustion. Just the thought of how they were going to pass through a large number of horned men to reach the portal annoyed him. "We should wait a little longer, maybe twenty can work something out." Void suggested. "Is there a way you can connect this portal to the one in the Aurora Continent?" Grey asked, a little pessimistic. "I could try. But they would have to leave after destroying the portal. And if the time is too long, it would be difficult." Void explained. Grey nodded and sat down. Since they wouldn't be leaving now, there was no use to worry. Ten minutes later, the portal Grey used in coming here was destroyed by the horned men. When they destroyed it, they stood in the same position for some time. Waiting to see if the person on the other side would open another portal. After almost one hour, they decided it was time to leave since the person on the other side didn't open another portal. For all they knew, the person or people on the other side could've even opened another portal somewhere they aren't aware of.
