Affinity: Chaos-Chapter 1480 Awakening The Wind Domain
?Grey and the Pseudo-sovereign were in a tug of war, he was going to absorb more essence. The Pseudo-sovereign was the clear favorite since it was his essence to begin with, but Grey was robbing him of that essence.
If he was told something like this was possible, he would never believe it. As a matter of fact, he would attack the person who said such words. But now, he was seeing it with his own eyes. What was shocking was the fact that Grey, someone that was on the verge of failing his breakthrough was about to get to the Sovereign Plane thanks to his sudden breakthrough. It was surreal.
'How's this possible?!'
He exclaimed internally, but there was nothing he could do. He was sharing his essence with Grey, and the annoying part is that Grey was absorbing more than he was.
If this continued, then Grey would definitely take more than he would, and also put a stop to his supposed break through to the Sovereign Plane.
Currently, his breakthrough didn't look like a great opportunity for him, rather, it was a regrettable moment. If he didn't break through, Grey wouldn't have any way to get to the Sovereign Plane and would fail. But now, thanks to his help, he was not only going to have a better chance of breaking through, but he was also going to stop him from breaking through as well.
This was the worst thing that could happen to anyone.
The Pseudo-sovereign was a Wind Elementalist, so more wind elemental essence gathered in the area.
As Grey was absorbing more wind essence, he noticed something that put a brilliant smile on his face.
"You're such a gem!"
Grey laughed out in pleasure. He wasn't even trying to fight with the Pseudo-sovereign at the moment. All he wanted to do was to ensure that he absorbed as much essence as he could.
His wind domain was about to be awakened. He never thought that he would have such a lucky break. He literally failed to break through while absorbing the blood essence of a Wind Elemental Magical Beast, yet, he was on the verge of breaking through thanks to this Wind Elementslist who wanted to break through.
Grey was pleased with what was happening, but the Pseudo-sovereign didn't like it. Grey was spoiling his plans, and if he doesn't break through, Grey would kill him without hesitation.
He attacked ferociously, but Grey wasn't in the mood to fight at the moment. If he tried to fight, he wouldn't be able to absorb as much essence as he wants to.
The man chased after him, while Grey focused on evading the attacks.
"At this rate, you will never break through. Take advantage of this opportunity, my friend." Grey said to the man.
The man didn't think much of Grey's words, there was no way he was going to listen to the person who was on the verge of making sure he didn't break through. If anything, he wanted Grey dead, or at least not absorbing the essence meant for him.
He chased after Grey, while Grey ran, absorbing as much essence as he could. He could sense his wind domain was on the verge of awakening. Even if he doesn't get to the Sovereign Plane, at least having the wind domain has increased his strength significantly.
The Pseudo-sovereign chased and chased, while Grey wasn't in the mood to fight with him.
The thought of escaping at this moment came to the mind of the Pseudo-sovereign, but he couldn't leave this place. The essence had gathered here, and there was no way it would follow him if he left this place. This meant that if he tried to leave, he had given up on his chances of breaking through to the Sovereign Plane.
For people like him, missing such an opportunity was hellish. The chances of him getting it again without any top natural treasures was almost ten percent. This shows how hard it is to break through to the Sovereign Plane.
Grey's an anomaly given the amount of essence he absorbed yet he wasn't able to get to the Sovereign Plane, not even the Pseudo-sovereign stage.
The Pseudo-sovereign couldn't miss out on such an opportunity, so he was forced to endure with Grey, while also trying to attack the person stealing his essence.
….
While Grey and the Pseudo-sovereign were in a tug of war, the entire world's attention was placed on the apparition in the sky.
They all thought it was done when it started to fade, only for it to rekindle its spark on the verge of completely fading off.
It started to grow even clearer.
The apparition looked at those living in the Aurora Continent as ants.
If Grey was able to see this apparition, he would be shocked. The apparition had the same features as the Chaos God he saw during the early days of his cultivation journey. This was the same aloofness and features that spoke to him at that time.
The apparition was looking down on all figures, and for the first time, there was a slight reaction from the apparition. It looked in a certain direction with nonchalant eyes. The place it was staring at was the direction the Trial Land was located.
…..
Grey didn't know what was happening outside, all that mattered to him at the moment was to get enough essence from this man's breakthrough and use it to his advantage. At least getting to the Pseudo-sovereign stage was a massive step.
This was the first time he was finding it difficult to break through to the next Plane even after meeting all the criterias.
He didn't think too much about it and focused on the fight before him. The essence was about to fade off, and if he didn't take more for himself, then it was a loss for him.
The man stopped attacking Grey and focused on absorbing the essence as well. Since Grey didn't want to give him any face, he was going to break through and kill Grey.
